The others on the boat were unaware of the true nature of this dinosaur island, but Yang Lin was well aware. After all, he had seen it with his own eyes in videos before. He just hadn't expected to arrive here in this manner.
As Yang Lin’s thoughts raced, the pterosaurs in the sky drew closer and closer, so close that everyone could vaguely see the rows of teeth in their mouths, as fine as steak knives. Many of the more timid individuals had already begun to scream loudly. But they soon realized they had worried needlessly.
When the pterosaurs flew to the edge of the island, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in the sky above it. As the pterosaurs touched this barrier, streaks of electricity spontaneously appeared, startling them into turning and fleeing on the spot. Seeing this, Yang Lin's eyes lit up. "What a marvelous thing. If only I could get my hands on this technology."
Just as he thought this, the voice of the mercenary leader, Adams, carried over from the bow of the ship. "Dear honored guests, you have reached your destination. Please disembark." As soon as he finished speaking, the mercenaries, armed with firearms, began to usher the crowd off the boat.
Before long, everyone had come ashore from the ship and landed at a small pier on the island. Already waiting at the pier was a group of staff members dressed in blue and white uniforms. Among them, Yang Lin even spotted a familiar face: Li Chenggong, the executive assistant of International Genetic Company.
As Yang Lin noticed him, Li Chenggong also noticed Yang Lin and immediately broke into a smile. The next second, he walked over to Yang Lin. "Director Yang, welcome to Isla Nublar. I also apologize for our rude behavior this time." With that, he signaled for his subordinates to untie the ropes on Yang Lin's hands. During this time, he turned his gaze to Dr. Serizawa beside him. "Dr. Serizawa, welcome to you as well. I trust your trip to Isla Nublar will be a good experience for you."
At this point, Yang Lin became increasingly certain that the International Genetic Company's agenda was no simple matter. First, they had brought him here, and then they had invited Dr. Serizawa, who had extensive research on megafauna. Conversely, the other Nobel laureates present did not seem to be given much importance.
While Yang Lin was filled with suspicion, several open-top sightseeing vehicles drove up to the group from within the island. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Isla Nublar, a special property of our International Genetic Company. I know you must have many questions, but please believe me, after you have toured this island, you will understand that bringing you here is a great opportunity for you all." Li Chenggong, impeccably dressed in a suit, stood on the pier ground, behaving like a perfect gentleman, in no way resembling a madman capable of kidnapping. Although the Nobel nominees present were still somewhat angry upon hearing his words, due to curiosity and the visible display of force, they could only obediently board the sightseeing vehicles.
Once everyone was seated in the vehicles, they immediately proceeded inland. After less than fifty meters, a colossal creature appeared beside the road. It was none other than a Triceratops. Seeing this living Triceratops, everyone in the sightseeing vehicles felt their minds reel. "Dinosaurs, more dinosaurs!" "We saw pterosaurs earlier, and now a Triceratops. How many dinosaurs are there on this island?" "I've long heard that International Genetic Company has been dedicated to reviving ancient creatures all these years. I never imagined they not only succeeded but also revived dinosaurs." "My heavens, what is that over there!"
Before the stunned group could recover from the shock of seeing the Triceratops, another behemoth emerged from the dense forest with a heavy tread. Even the immensely large Triceratops next to it seemed like a mere child. Estimating conservatively, it was at least fifty meters long from head to tail.
Seeing such a giant creature for the first time, everyone was struck speechless. After several seconds, Yang Lin finally heard the reporter from Ningnan TV ask in a confused voice, "Director Yang, what kind of dragon is that? Is it a Brachiosaurus?" Hearing this question, Yang Lin immediately shook his head. "This is not a Brachiosaurus. Brachiosaurus have a higher head crest, and their hind legs are shorter than their forelegs. This one's tail is longer than its neck; it is likely an Alamosaurus, also known as a Ha's Diplodocus."
"Alamosaurus, no wonder it's so big. Truly a megafauna of the ancient era," another cameraman said with great emotion after hearing Yang Lin's explanation. When his words reached the ears of Yang Lin and Serizawa, they couldn't help but shake their heads. If they didn't know that true megafauna existed, they too might have thought these dinosaurs were large.
After encountering this Alamosaurus, the people in the vehicles successively encountered several other dinosaurs. Ankylosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Pachycephalosaurus, Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brontosaurus, Spinosaurus, Dilophosaurus... In total, there were dozens of species. Some were carnivorous, some herbivorous, some flew in the sky, and some crawled on the ground. The sight left everyone both excited and fearful, lest these prehistoric giants rush out and take their lives. Fortunately, International Genetic Company had used some technology to set up an electronic fence outside the dinosaurs' activity zones. Once these dinosaurs attempted to enter human activity areas, they would be electrocuted.
After being taken on a tour of the island, everyone felt as though their worldview had been profoundly impacted. Only Yang Lin's thoughts differed from theirs. While others felt novelty upon seeing a new dinosaur, he felt excitement. "Good heavens, a total of 34 species of dinosaurs, with a total population likely in the thousands. How much food must they consume daily!" "But it's alright, we can charge a high price for tickets later." "Or perhaps charge per dinosaur. Fifty yuan for each sighting, we'll be rich!" "Mine, all mine, hahahaha!" Unconsciously, Yang Lin let out a laugh. He was unaware that his current behavior was being transmitted through a hidden camera to a massive conference room deep within the island.
As the high-ranking officials of International Genetic Company watched the frenzied Yang Lin on the large screen and observed his behavior throughout the tour, they collectively fell into deep thought. "Indeed, he is different from others. There is no trace of fear in his eyes when facing these dinosaurs." "It seems he is naturally one of us, no, he is crazier than we are." "Aren't all great figures in history this crazy?" "Heaven knows what kind of insane ideas about those dinosaurs are in his mind, but this is precisely what we need." "Have you ever seen a normal person raise the animals in a zoo to such a state?" "I can't wait to meet him." "No, it's not time yet. He must undergo one final trial." As he spoke, everyone in the conference room turned their gaze towards Dr. Hammond. At this moment, Dr. Hammond nodded. The next second, he commanded the screen in front of him, "Execute according to the original plan!" As soon as his voice fell, a spark suddenly erupted from an electrical panel somewhere on the island.
