Bai Ye took a deep breath, then raised the cluster bomb in his hand, adopted a baseball pitcher's stance, and threw it with all his might the moment the Tyrannosaurus Rex lunged at him.
Bai Ye aimed for the mouth. An internal explosion would surely be more devastating than an external one.
Simultaneously, after throwing the cluster bomb, Bai Ye turned and ran without hesitation.
Cluster bombs were terrifying.
They were also known as inhumane bombs. In Bai Ye's world, they were considered "extremely cruel" weapons, forbidden by civilization and even regulated by conventions.
However, one was an air-to-ground missile, and the other was a fist-sized throwable bomb. Bai Ye felt they shouldn't be the same thing, but even if they were distant relatives, Bai Ye dared not be careless.
Then...
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted.
The instant Bai Ye turned back, he saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body split open with countless fissures. Then, streams of pale blue beams, like sharp swords, pierced out from within the dinosaur's body, followed by...
Disintegration!
Accompanied by the cluster bomb's detonation, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body instantly tore into pieces, then in a flash of light, vanished into dust, leaving not a trace.
Where the Tyrannosaurus Rex had stood, the ground suddenly collapsed, turning into fine sand. A massive pit, over seven or eight meters in diameter and about two meters deep, appeared.
Following this, a terrifying shockwave pushed outwards, forming ripples.
Bai Ye felt as if his chest had been struck by a hammer. He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Bai Ye lay on the ground, grimacing for a while before finally getting up. Looking at the devastated scene before him, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
The power of that cluster bomb was too terrifying. That Tyrannosaurus Rex was just blown away like that?
Bai Ye couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat. It seemed he needed to be nicer to that eccentric inventor from now on. While he could be unreliable at times, when he was reliable...
He was perhaps too reliable. Something like this could very easily blow oneself up if not handled carefully.
"Blast, that old man!"
Suddenly, Bai Ye remembered Dr. Hurd. That guy had abandoned him and run off!
This wasn't the main problem. The key was, if Dr. Hurd ran off on his own, did his mission count as completed?
Bai Ye had no time to examine the mess on the ground. He quickly dashed towards the outer perimeter, trying to catch up to Dr. Hurd.
Fortunately, Dr. Hurd hadn't gotten too far. Bai Ye chased for about ten minutes before spotting Dr. Hurd lying on the ground like a dead dog, clearly having exhausted his last bit of strength and unable to run anymore.
"Hey!" Bai Ye reached out and patted Dr. Hurd's cheek, asking, "Are you dead?"
Dr. Hurd gasped for breath, "You, you, you're still alive?"
"Just a mere Tyrannosaurus Rex, look how scared you are," Bai Ye said. "This young master has torn through zombies with his bare hands, fought ancient ghosts in tombs. A dinosaur is nothing."
Bai Ye's boast was uninhibited, completely forgetting that he had just considered abandoning Dr. Hurd and running for his own life. He reached out and slung Dr. Hurd over his shoulder.
"Let's go!" Bai Ye said. "We should be close to leaving Jurassic Park. Don't cause me any more trouble."
Bai Ye carried Dr. Hurd forward. Finally, as the evening sunset faded and night gradually descended, they saw a large expanse of barbed wire.
Bai Ye gestured forward with his chin, "Are we there yet?"
Dr. Hurd's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, we can leave now."
Bai Ye asked, "I'm curious, can barbed wire stop dinosaurs?"
"Ordinary barbed wire, of course not," Dr. Hurd explained. "When I cloned the dinosaurs, I implanted chips in them. The chips could limit the dinosaurs' movements. Even when they went out of control later, it only led to a dinosaur riot. According to the preset chip programming, the barbed wire is a boundary. The dinosaurs' range of movement would not cross this line. So, as long as we climb over the barbed wire, we'll be safe."
Bai Ye nodded, carried Dr. Hurd to the edge of the barbed wire, pulled aside the already deformed and torn wire, and then squeezed through with Dr. Hurd.
As expected...
"You have completed the hidden mission: Help Dr. Hurd leave the Jurassic Park area. Mission rewards: Fossil of Aerodactyl x1, Chocolate Energy Bar x1."
Fossil of Aerodactyl: A peculiar fossil that still contains vitality. If the fossil's time could be reversed, perhaps one could see the legendary ancient beast tamer—Aerodactyl.
Chocolate Energy Bar: Upon consumption, it can instantly restore stamina and heal all injuries.
After crawling through the barbed wire, Bai Ye's mission was complete. Simultaneously, his inventory gained the Fossil of Aerodactyl and the Chocolate Energy Bar.
Among these, the Fossil of Aerodactyl...
In Bai Ye's eyes, it was just a piece of rock.
Although the idea of reversing time for a fossil sounded magical, in the World Battlefield, this place full of unknowns, it might actually be possible. But the problem was, Bai Ye didn't know how. In his previous life, Bai Ye hadn't heard of any such method.
Therefore, since he didn't know how, it was just a useless rock.
What truly excited Bai Ye when he accepted the mission was the Chocolate Energy Bar. Bai Ye had obtained this item in his previous life and already knew its effects. It was a life-saving panacea at critical moments, even if it was chocolate-flavored.
In Bai Ye's view, keeping this item in his inventory was equivalent to saving a life.
Wasn't this more valuable than that so-called fossil?
Meanwhile...
Dr. Hurd was also overcome with emotion. He even knelt down in excitement, weeping tears of joy. "Eleven years! For eleven long years, I have finally seen the light of day, finally left that damned place. I no longer have to face those terrifying monsters..."
Dr. Hurd cried out as he stood up again, spreading his arms and running forward, seemingly savoring the feeling of freedom. He no longer had to worry about being eaten by dinosaurs when he went out. At this moment, the pressure of eleven years was released from Dr. Hurd's heart.
But at this very moment...
A loud noise suddenly came from beneath Dr. Hurd's feet, and a huge fissure appeared.
A massive dark shadow suddenly emerged. It was a monster, seven or eight meters in size, resembling a frog. It leaped out from the ground and, in one gulp, swallowed Dr. Hurd.
Bai Ye scratched his head. "I seem to have forgotten to tell him that other areas of the World Battlefield might be more dangerous than Jurassic Park."
