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.
As soon as he threw the cluster bomb, Bai Ye turned and ran without hesitation.
Cluster bombs were terrifying.
They also had a nickname: the inhumane bomb. In Bai Ye's world, it was considered an "extremely cruel" weapon, forbidden by civilization and even subject to international conventions.
However, one was an air-to-ground missile, and the other was a fist-sized thrown bomb. Bai Ye felt they couldn't be the same thing, but even if they were distant relatives, Bai Ye dared not be careless.
Then...
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion occurred.
The instant Bai Ye turned his head, he saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body actually crack open into countless fissures. Then, streaks of pale blue light, like sharp swords, pierced out from within the dinosaur's body, followed by...
Explosion!
Accompanied by the cluster bomb's detonation, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body instantly tore into pieces. Then, engulfed in a vast expanse of light, it was annihilated into dust, leaving nothing behind.
Where the Tyrannosaurus Rex had stood, the ground suddenly collapsed, turning into fine sand. A giant crater, over seven or eight meters in diameter and nearly two meters deep, appeared there.
A terrifying shockwave then spread outwards in a ripple.
Bai Ye felt as if his chest had been struck by a hammer, sending him flying backward. He then crashed hard onto the ground.
Bai Ye lay on the ground, grimacing for quite some time before he managed to get up. Looking at the devastated scene before him, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
The power of this cluster bomb was truly terrifying. That Tyrannosaurus Rex was gone just like that?
Bai Ye couldn't help but wipe a bead of cold sweat. It seemed he needed to treat that eccentric inventor better from now on. While he could be unreliable at times, when he was reliable...
He was perhaps too reliable. Such a thing could easily blow oneself up if not handled carefully.
"Damn, that old man!"
Suddenly, Bai Ye remembered Dr. Hurd. That guy had actually abandoned him and run!
That wasn't the problem. The key issue was, if Dr. Hurd ran off by himself, did his mission count as completed?
Bai Ye didn't have time to look at the mess on the ground. He quickly sprinted towards the outer perimeter, trying to catch up with Dr. Hurd.
Fortunately, Dr. Hurd hadn't run too far. After chasing for about ten minutes, Bai Ye saw Dr. Hurd sprawled 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, saying, "Are you dead?"
Dr. Hurd gasped for air and said, "You, you, you're alive?"
"Just a Tyrannosaurus Rex, look how scared you are," Bai Ye said. "This young master has torn apart zombies and fought ancient tomb spirits. A dinosaur is nothing."
Bai Ye bragged without a second thought, completely forgetting that he had considered abandoning Dr. Hurd and running for his own life just moments ago. 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 any more trouble for me."
Carrying Dr. Hurd, Bai Ye pressed onward. Finally, as the twilight of dusk faded and night gradually descended, he saw a large stretch of barbed wire.
Bai Ye nudged forward with his chin, "Are we here?"
Dr. Hurd became instantly excited. "Yes, yes, we can leave now."
Bai Ye asked, "I'm curious, can barbed wire really stop dinosaurs?"
"Ordinary barbed wire, of course not," Dr. Hurd explained. "When I cloned the dinosaurs, I implanted chips in them. The chips could restrict the dinosaurs' movements. Even when they went out of control later, it just caused a dinosaur riot. According to the preset chip program, the barbed wire is a boundary. The dinosaurs' range of movement won't cross this boundary, 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 open the already bent and broken wire, and then squeezed through with Dr. Hurd.
Indeed...
"You have completed the hidden mission: Help Dr. Hurd leave the Jurassic Park area. Mission reward: Fossil of Aerodactyl x1, Chocolate Energy Bar x1."
Fossil of Aerodactyl: A strange fossil still containing vitality. If the fossil's time could be turned back, perhaps the legendary ancient beast tamer Aerodactyl could be seen.
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 them, the Fossil of Aerodactyl...
In Bai Ye's eyes, it was just a broken rock.
Although the idea of turning back time for a fossil sounded magical, in the World Battlefield, this place full of unknowns, it was indeed possible. But the problem was, Bai Ye didn't know how. In his previous life, Bai Ye had never heard of such a thing.
Therefore, since he didn't know the method, it was just a broken rock.
What truly excited Bai Ye when he received 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 tasted like chocolate.
Keeping this item in his inventory was, in Bai Ye's opinion, equivalent to saving his own life.
Wasn't this better than that so-called fossil?
At the same time...
Dr. Hurd was also extremely excited. He was so excited that he even knelt down and cried tears of joy. "Eleven years, a full eleven years! I've finally seen the light of day, finally left that damned place, and I no longer have to face those terrifying monsters..."
Crying out, Dr. Hurd stood up again, spread his arms, and ran forward, seemingly savoring the feeling of freedom. He no longer had to worry about being eaten by dinosaurs when he went outside. At this moment, the pressure of eleven years was released from Dr. Hurd's heart.
But just then...
A loud bang echoed from under Dr. Hurd's feet, and a huge crack suddenly appeared.
A massive dark shadow abruptly emerged. It was a creature, seven or eight meters long, resembling a frog. It leaped out from the ground and swallowed Dr. Hurd in one gulp.
Bai Ye scratched his head and said, "I seem to have forgotten to tell him that other areas of the World Battlefield might be more dangerous than Jurassic Park."
