In less than an hour, the situation had been completely reversed by Yang Lin.
Even with all the armed forces on Nubla Island deployed, they were no match for Yang Lin's "Werewolf" tactics.
No one knew when their trusted teammate would suddenly lose control and open fire on them.
In addition to ambushes from teammates, they also had to contend with rampaging dinosaurs.
Of course, all of this was nothing compared to King Kong, who was rampaging through the base.
Encountering a dinosaur might offer a chance of survival, but being stomped on by King Kong would leave absolutely nothing behind.
And the mastermind behind all of this was that man from Dragon Country.
...
With a mighty leap, King Kong tore down several helicopters carrying Monarch's top brass as if they were mere toys.
King Kong even helpfully removed their propellers.
When they were delivered before Yang Lin, crammed together like sardines in a can, the expressions on everyone's faces shifted instantly.
"You're a sorcerer, aren't you? You're a mysterious sorcerer from the East. You can control not only giant beasts but also people. You're terrifying."
A Caucasian scientist exclaimed in horror.
For them, anything unexplainable by science could only be attributed to sorcery or other metaphysical domains.
In fact, he wasn't the only one thinking this; everyone present shared the same sentiment when they saw Yang Lin emerge, flanked by a horde of dinosaurs.
Yang Lin, however, scoffed at their notions.
"Tsk, what era is this, still believing in sorcerers?"
"This is basic stuff in our Dragon Country. We're born knowing how to ride horses, and by the age of 18, everyone gets a panda. Being able to chat with animals is perfectly normal."
"As for my ability to control giant beasts, it's all done with sincerity and passion."
He said this without caring whether they believed his nonsensical explanation or not, and directly approached Dr. Hammond, who looked like a stray dog.
"You, of all people, at your age, still dreaming of conquering the world? How childish. Wouldn't it be more pleasant to drink tea and play mahjong every day with your pension?"
"Oh, right, what do you call that thing you use to guide the giant beasts? Let me see it."
Surprised by Yang Lin's sudden reprimand, Dr. Hammond instinctively wanted to retort defiantly.
But at that moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex that had been following Yang Lin like a lackey lumbered over and let out a roar.
Instantly, all of his backbone and bravery vanished, and he began spilling out everything Yang Lin wanted to know like a sieve.
"The device we use to guide the giant beasts is called the Ocra. It can imitate all the sounds of giant beasts and transmit signals."
"This technology has undergone five iterations, and now it can transmit audio signals up to 2000 kilometers away."
Hearing Dr. Hammond's sincere reply, Yang Lin nodded, then continued to ask:
"What is your ultimate plan?"
"Our ultimate plan is to control all the giant beasts and secretly drive them to cause riots on Earth, forcing various countries to use nuclear weapons. This would weaken their strength on one hand, and on the other, create more giant beasts."
"Ultimately, we would step in as saviors and establish the 'Cult of the Giant Beasts'..."
As Dr. Hammond laid bare their entire plan, Yang Lin understood some of the things he hadn't grasped before.
"So, according to what you said earlier, if the number of giant beasts increases, won't the evolution speed of all animals on Earth accelerate, putting humanity in danger?"
"No, we've studied this. The emergence of giant beasts is merely to balance Earth's ecosystem. On one hand, it strengthens creatures other than humans; on the other hand, it serves as a deterrent to humanity. But they won't directly participate in it."
"Once Earth's ecosystem reaches a balance again, they will depart in various forms."
"I see." At this point, Yang Lin finally understood that the giant beasts wouldn't destroy humanity, nor did they have any interest in doing so.
All the threats about giant beasts were fabrications by Monarch.
"Alright, since you've told me everything you know, you're of no further use to me..."
Before Yang Lin could finish speaking, Dr. Hammond's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Don't, don't kill me. I can give you everything I have – the international gene company I founded, all my wealth."
"Including this island and Monarch. Just spare my life."
"Oh? Is what you're saying true?"
Yang Lin, who had been looking stern moments before, suddenly showed a look of interest.
"However, I can't possibly manage such a large enterprise all by myself. If I took it, it wouldn't be of much use."
"Besides, you're so clever. What if you betray me behind my back? It would be safer to kill you."
"Wangcai, come here and eat him!"
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the Tyrannosaurus Rex beside him opened its gaping maw. With a single snap, Dr. Hammond would be bitten in two.
At this point, Dr. Hammond finally broke. His legs buckled, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Seeing this, Yang Lin revealed a triumphant grin.
"However, you're lucky. I have a special Gu worm from our Dragon Country. If you swallow it, it will burrow into your brain."
"If you dare to betray me in the future, I'll have it eat your brain."
As he spoke, he pulled out a small glass vial containing the brainworm from his pocket and gently tipped it. A sesame-seed-sized brainworm appeared in his hand.
Before Yang Lin could make a move, Dr. Hammond, who was already terrified to the point of near death, snatched the brainworm and swallowed it whole.
"See? I've swallowed it. From now on, I'll obey you. You can't kill me now."
"And I suggest you feed one to all of them too. I'm afraid they might betray you later."
Hearing Dr. Hammond's suggestion, Yang Lin immediately looked at the other Monarch executives present.
With a slight smile, he poured out another brainworm from the vial.
"I only have 50 of these. If you don't manage to get one, I'll have the dinosaurs eat you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elite Monarch executives swarmed towards Yang Lin.
They were terrified of missing out on a brainworm.
Before long, all the Monarch executives had been implanted with brainworms.
From this moment on, they were completely reduced to Yang Lin's puppets.
The renowned Monarch organization and the International Gene Company also became his private property.
The thought of possessing wealth that would last him lifetimes, along with some of the world's top technology, made Yang Lin feel as if he were dreaming.
"I knew it! Mine, all mine!"
After his excitement subsided, he began planning his return to Dragon Country.
Returning home was a simple matter under normal circumstances, but this time, the souvenirs he needed to bring back seemed to be a bit numerous.
