Bai Ye took a deep breath, then raised the cluster bomb in his hand, assumed a baseball pitcher's stance, and threw it with all his might the instant the Tyrannosaurus Rex reached him.
Bai Ye aimed for the mouth. An internal explosion would undoubtedly be more destructive than an external one.
As soon as he released 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, they were considered "extremely cruel" weapons, banned by civilization and even subject to international conventions.
However, one was an air-to-ground missile and the other a fist-sized projectile bomb. Bai Ye felt they couldn't be the same thing, but even if they were distant relatives, he dared not be careless.
Then...
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, a tremendous explosion echoed.
The moment Bai Ye looked back, he saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body split open with countless cracks. Then, streaks of pale blue light, like sharp swords, pierced through the dinosaur's body from within. Immediately after...
It was torn to shreds!
Along with the cluster bomb's explosion, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body instantly fragmented, and in a great burst of light, it was reduced to ashes, leaving not even a speck behind.
Where the Tyrannosaurus Rex had stood, the ground suddenly collapsed, turning into fine sand. A giant pit, more than seven or eight meters in diameter and about two meters deep, appeared.
Following this, a terrifying shockwave pushed outwards in all directions, creating a ripple.
Bai Ye felt as if his chest had been struck by a hammer, sending him flying backward before he slammed hard onto the ground.
Bai Ye lay on the ground, gritting his teeth for a good while before finally getting up. Looking at the mess in front of him, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
The power of that cluster bomb was truly terrifying. Had that Tyrannosaurus Rex just been blown to bits?
Bai Ye couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat. It seemed he needed to be nicer to that great inventor from now on. While he was unreliable at times, when he was reliable...
He was almost *too* reliable. Something like this could easily obliterate oneself if not careful.
"Damn it, that old man!"
Suddenly, Bai Ye remembered Dr. Hyde. The guy had run off and left him!
That wasn't the main problem, though. The crucial point was, if Dr. Hyde ran off by himself, did his mission count as completed?
Bai Ye had no time to dwell on the wreckage. He quickly dashed towards the outer perimeter, trying to catch up with Dr. Hyde.
Fortunately, Dr. Hyde hadn't gone too far. After chasing for about ten minutes, Bai Ye saw Dr. Hyde sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, clearly having exhausted his last bit of strength and unable to run any further.
"Hey!" Bai Ye reached out and patted Dr. Hyde's cheek, "Are you dead?"
Dr. Hyde gasped, "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 ghosts. A dinosaur is nothing."
Bai Ye boasted without a second thought, completely forgetting that he had just considered abandoning Dr. Hyde and running for his own life. He reached out and slung Dr. Hyde 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."
Bai Ye carried Dr. Hyde and pressed onward. Finally, as the twilight of the setting sun faded and night began to descend, they saw a large expanse of barbed wire.
Bai Ye nudged his chin forward, "Are we here?"
Dr. Hyde'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. Hyde explained. "When I cloned the dinosaurs, I implanted them with chips that could restrict their movements. Even when they went out of control later, it only caused riots. According to the preset chip program, the barbed wire is a boundary. The dinosaurs' range of activity would not cross this line. So, as long as we climb over the barbed wire, we'll be safe."
Bai Ye nodded, carried Dr. Hyde to the edge of the barbed wire, pulled aside the already deformed and torn wire, and then crawled through with Dr. Hyde.
As expected...
"You have completed the hidden mission: Assist Dr. Hyde in leaving the Jurassic Park area. Mission rewards: Fossilized Pterodactyl Fossil x1, Chocolate Energy Bar x1."
Fossilized Pterodactyl Fossil: A peculiar fossil still containing vital energy. If the fossil's time could be reverted, perhaps one could witness the legendary ancient beast tamer—the Pterodactyl.
Chocolate Energy Bar: Consuming this instantly restores physical strength and all injuries.
After crawling through the barbed wire, Bai Ye's mission was complete. Simultaneously, Bai Ye's inventory gained a Fossilized Pterodactyl Fossil and a Chocolate Energy Bar.
Among them, the Fossilized Pterodactyl Fossil...
In Bai Ye's eyes, it was just a worthless rock.
While the idea of reverting a fossil's time to the past 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 had never heard of such a thing.
Therefore, since he didn't know the method, it was just a broken stone.
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 knew its effects from the start. It was a life-saving elixir at critical moments, even if it tasted like chocolate.
Keeping this in his inventory was, in Bai Ye's opinion, equivalent to saving his own life.
Wasn't that better than that so-called fossil?
Meanwhile...
Dr. Hyde was also overcome with emotion. He even knelt down, tears streaming down his face, "Eleven years! A full eleven years! I have finally seen the light of day, finally escaped that damned place. I no longer have to face those terrifying monsters..."
Crying out, Dr. Hyde stood up again, spread his arms wide, and ran 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, eleven years of pressure lifted from Dr. Hyde's heart.
But at that very moment...
A loud noise suddenly erupted from beneath Dr. Hyde's feet, and a huge crack appeared.
A colossal black shadow suddenly emerged. It was a monster over seven or eight meters long, resembling a frog, which leaped out from the ground and swallowed Dr. Hyde in one gulp.
Bai Ye scratched his head, "I guess I forgot to tell him that other areas of the World Battlefield might be more dangerous than Jurassic Park."
