Chapter 1 A Gamble

Zi heard Fang Senyan's reply and suddenly understood.

"So, your actions just now were just a gamble?"

Fang Senyan nodded.

"Yes, but even if I lost the gamble, I wouldn't have much to worry about."

Speaking of this, Fang Senyan looked at Zi and smiled slightly.

"Because we have Her Majesty the Queen backing us up."

This was the first time Fang Senyan had addressed Zi like this, because he really felt that the girl in front of him exuded the arrogance and dignity of royalty when she stood up just now. However, this sense of superiority, which often caused aversion, was usually well hidden by her, disguised as aloofness and composure. Only in the most dangerous moments would it be revealed like a drawn sword. This kind of leadership was probably the reason why Zi could lead a team.

Zi glanced at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, but didn't say much. Fang Senyan didn't know what a huge impact this sentence would have on him later. If he could foresee the future, he would have kept silent at this moment.

Just then, several small black dots appeared in the distant sunset, rapidly approaching. The crew members who were taking a breather on deck seemed to have seen a ghost when they saw those black dots. The first mate even grabbed Fang Senyan's arm and screamed.

"Pterodactyls! The predatory pterodactyls are here!"

Fang Senyan reluctantly took another deep breath of the fresh, salty air. He didn't plan to try challenging the current aerial overlords, so he jumped into the submarine's interior without hesitation.

"Dive! Let those damned giant bats scream at the seawater."

Three hours later, the submarine finally landed on the coast of Dinosaur Island.

To be precise, it was a submerged cave, which required navigating around many jagged reefs. This largely prevented some fierce sea dinosaurs from approaching, as their large bodies were not suitable for activity in such shallow areas.

The submarine crew called this place Federal Building—a strange and nonsensical name, wasn’t it? The reason was simple: on a desperate place like Dinosaur Island, a relatively safe terrain environment was by no means a natural fit, but rather something that had been built with US dollars and human lives by those who had discovered the huge business opportunities and interests hidden on Dinosaur Island!

Someone had calculated that the wealth it consumed was exactly the sum of building a Federal Building... Of course, due to the huge factor of inflation, the purchasing power of the US dollar when building the Federal Building was much stronger than it is now, but this also shows:

How difficult it was to build this hasty and crude landing point at that time, and what a terrible price was paid!

Although it was close to the shore, the submarine's engine was still humming in a low voice, indicating that the Federal Building was not absolutely safe. There had been cases where a large group of deinonychus ambushed the area, waiting for everyone to land before swarming up and happily devouring them.

The submarine crew obviously had no intention of lingering here. They all looked at Fang Senyan and the others expectantly, hoping that these people would keep their word and pay. Because they now knew that even if the other party didn't keep their word, there was nothing they could do.

Zi was obviously not someone who liked to welch on debts. After she paid as promised, she had those guys leave with endless gratitude. The four waded to the dry edge of the cave. Zi took out various specialized anti-dinosaur weapons that she had purchased earlier from her personal space and distributed them one by one.

The weapons Zi purchased were not the same as the shoddy goods Fang Senyan bought.

Paluba improved shooting guns, Shamir vibrators, and the like were all standard military equipment. Each person's main weapon was the Hector electroshock gun, which could deeply shoot a recoverable sharp spike into the target's body and then output millions of volts of electricity in one shot through superconducting transmission to kill the target!

Despite being at night, the starlight and moonlight in the sky could still provide illumination. For ordinary people, traversing Dinosaur Island at night might require taking greater risks, but for Fang Senyan and the others, it could avoid the greatest threat from the air.

The road to the destination was not difficult, after all, this place was once intended to be developed as a tourist resort.

However, after several years of painstaking management by nature, those man-made buildings and roads had become quite dark and primitive.

Dim boulders stood majestically, and giant ferns that were astonishing in height even occupied three acres around them, exuding a damp and decadent smell.

In this place, ferns dominated the mainstream advantage of plants. Stone chives and ferns close to the ground were very lush. Stone ferns, swollen-footed ferns, silverback ferns, stone reeds, and tile reeds used their root systems to successfully penetrate the rocks, coating these originally bare areas with greenery.

The forest was usually composed of gray-green-leaved Salo, stout giant fan ferns, and eared ferns that were as old as the island itself. Here, thick, dark green branches squeezed against each other, and thick, twisted branches wove a dense treetop overhead, while deformed and gnarled roots competed with each other underground. This was a place of deep silence and oppressive shadows.

The four sprayed themselves with alpha potion, and a pungent smell immediately filled their nostrils. This smell, mixed with the unique air of Dinosaur Island, gradually seemed to form a faint protective shield over their bodies.

Fang Senyan discovered a hastily concealed road less than five hundred meters away from the "Federal Building" port. This road was very muddy and looked like it had been built artificially. There were also deep tire tracks on the road, which looked like they had been made by a ten-wheeled giant truck.

Not far inside, you could see a warning sign with a skull symbol on it, which read: Private territory, consequences of trespassing will be xxxx. However, continuing to walk inside, you could find a very shallow cave. The things in the cave were unobstructed, and there were seven or eight large oil drums!

Obviously, this was Mr. Hammond's logistics base. He was secretly transferring resources behind the backs of the Triad Corporation's directors to complete his dream here, so he was naturally building a permanent base on a large scale.

After the building materials were unloaded at the "Capitol" port, they would naturally be transported away by heavy trucks. These heavy trucks were oil guzzlers, so they usually refueled here.

Adventurers who could come to the island usually wouldn't be able to afford these gasoline, not just for profit, but also for safety. Dinosaurs have very sensitive noses, and bringing gasoline with such a strong smell would inevitably attract the exploration of some particularly curious dinosaurs.

Fang Senyan walked into the cave and checked it out, thoughtfully saying:

"It seems that Lahamengde's logistics base should have a highway that can be directly reached. Then we now have two choices: the first is to follow the highway, but the distance of this route should be relatively long. If we go in a straight line, then the straight-line distance is relatively short, but the road will be much more difficult to walk."

"Then let's go in a straight line!" Zi decided with a final word:

"Although the highway is flat, it may not be easy to walk. As the saying goes, rats have rat paths, and snakes have snake paths. All creatures, except for hunting, have a common feature of traveling along roads. If we walk along the highway, without Hammond's enhanced version of the potion, we might encounter powerful creatures such as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Stegosaurus that like to walk along the highway. Once we are targeted, it will be quite troublesome. If we go in a straight line, the soft soil can easily allow us to identify the traces of those giant dinosaurs."

It seemed that the alpha potion was quite effective. The four trekked through the dark fern jungle for two hours, only experiencing some small battles, and came to the coordinates provided by the Triad Corporation.

This was a mountainous terrain, but the scenery was quite good. A waterfall hung down like a white training from the cliff on the left, and the river formed flowed around the cliff and merged into a small lake not far away. A mudflat had formed next to the lake, and it was clear that a considerable number of dinosaurs would come here to drink water.

The target that Fang Senyan and the others were looking for was quite clear: a high-standard cement path led into the darkness of the mountain belly. According to the signs encountered on the road before, Jurassic Park used to use this place as a drifting adventure project, and the landscape of a small cave in the mountain belly was also very beautiful.

Obviously, Hammond used his authority to successfully expand the small cave in the mountain belly into his research base. At this time, it seemed that the expansion was coming to an end. The entire base was quiet and seemingly empty, but under the observation of experts like Hei Ge, a large number of hidden surveillance and automatic firepower systems were found.

However, Fang Senyan and the others soon discovered that Hammond's reconstruction work had not been completed after all. At least in the small river that was close to the mountain wall, there was a very obvious blind spot.

Time was of the essence, and the group immediately went into the water in a hurry. After swimming for twenty or thirty meters, they realized that Hammond had left a very poisonous trap in the small river, which was that there were a large number of piranhas in the river. The sharp teeth of this thing were as sharp as razors, and it was estimated that they had been genetically modified. It was estimated that even a dinosaur would be instantly gnawed into bones, and it could even threaten the lives of contractors!
