Chapter 22: Dinosaurs Out of the Cage (3)
The amusement park was a bit dull. Because of the disconnection of the power system, the simulated ecosystem of the amusement park had been completely shut down. Dark raindrops fell on the transparent glass panels above, making a dripping sound.
Grant and Ellie stood beside the Velociraptor, looking at the Velociraptor locked in the cage, and kept taking pictures.
And the Velociraptor, which thought it had been provoked, also roared repeatedly, but it was like a tiger whose claws and teeth had been pulled out, without a shred of deterrent power.
"Velociraptors mainly appeared in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Their forelimbs are very terrifying, just like sickles. There are very few things that cannot be destroyed." Ellie said while taking paper and pen to record.
Although she had lost confidence in Grant, once it was time to work, she still did it strictly and seriously. It had nothing to do with anything else, just professional ethics.
"That was ancient times. Modern various alloys are not something it can tear apart." Grant said with a smile, and then looked at Ellie.
If it were normal, Grant made a joke, Ellie would definitely laugh along and echo, but now, Ellie exceeded his expectations. Not only did she have no sign of laughing, but she said coldly: "This is not a joke. With the Velociraptor's sickle-like forelimbs, it can completely destroy the alloy."
"Then why didn't it escape?" Grant asked.
"Because it's smart." Ellie pulled a hair from her head, blew it slightly, and blew the hair onto the cage. However, the scene that happened next made Grant's heart jump.
Only to see that the moment Ellie's hair touched the cage, a powerful electric current was immediately released, and the hair turned into charcoal in an instant.
"Because this cage is attached with high-voltage electricity, and as the smartest species among dinosaurs, the Velociraptor naturally won't do this kind of useless work." After speaking, Ellie said coldly: "Dr. Grant, you have lost your composure, lost your proud observation ability, you are not suitable to do research anymore, at least until you calm down."
"Oh, it's all that damn child's fault. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have lost my composure." Grant shook his head and pushed everything onto Ye Nan.
Hearing this, Ye Nan felt a bit funny. Is this Grant crazy? Pushing responsibility at this time, he really doesn't understand a woman's heart.
Sure enough, as Ye Nan expected, Grant's words successfully caused Ellie's disgust. "Calmness is your own business. Being provoked is because you are not calm enough. Don't push all the responsibility onto others. It's disgusting."
"What did you say? I'm disgusting?" Grant looked at Ellie in disbelief. He couldn't believe these words came from Ellie's mouth.
"You don't understand, do you? I said you are disgusting." Ellie shook her hair, pointed at Grant's chest, and forced her way over with a domineering momentum: "Ye Nan is right, you are not a man at all, you have no responsibility, your temperament is narrow, you have no demeanor. I must have been blind to fall for you before. Now, we are breaking up."
"It seems your plan succeeded." Hammond leaned on his cane, passed by Ye Nan, and whispered.
Looking at Hammond who had completely walked past, Ye Nan also smiled, "If it weren't for your help, how could I have succeeded?"
Upon hearing this, Hammond's body paused. Just as Ye Nan said, if he were willing to help Grant, Grant would not have fallen to this point. Ye Nan's means were just pediatrics. The reason why Grant and Ellie fell into the trap was entirely because the authorities were confused.
But would he help Grant? No. Not only would he not help Grant, he would even step on Grant. The reason why he invited Grant was just because Grant was famous and not on the same path as him, which could make investors feel at ease and believe....
But with Ye Nan, all this could change. What a business genius says is always more believable to investors than what an archaeologist says.
"You..." Grant was still preparing to be tough, but when he met Ellie's cold and desperate eyes, he softened instantly, "I..."
Grant wanted to speak, but he didn't have a chance to speak. A sharp claw instantly passed through the iron cage, grabbed his shoulder like a sickle-sharp claw, and with a tear, tore his shoulder apart.
"No." Grant screamed. Before his cry for help could be heard, another sickle-like claw grabbed his other shoulder. Intense pain instantly drowned his senses, and he couldn't say a word.
With teeth carrying a fishy smell, it gnawed on his neck. With a suck, a large amount of blood was sucked away. Feeling his life being sucked away, Grant felt a chill in his heart. The last thing he saw was the Velociraptor's eyes full of cruelty.
Things happened in an instant. Grant, who was still talking to Ellie just now, turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye, a piece of food in the Velociraptor's mouth.
"What's going on? How could the Velociraptor run out?" Ye Nan asked suspiciously, but he didn't think too much, jumped down, grabbed Ellie, and planned to run away.
For him, this woman Ellie is very valuable. Her knowledge is not inferior to Grant's, and she has a natural fanaticism for archaeology. A series of adventures in the future will all need Ellie's help.
That's right, it's adventure. Since learning that characters from movies like Godzilla, Jurassic Park, and Resident Evil appeared in this world, Ye Nan had a thought: "Do other movies also exist in this world?"
After having this thought, the first thing Ye Nan thought of was fear, and then it was replaced by ecstasy.
Every man has a desire for power in his heart. This desire is reflected in people's worship of the strong. Ye Nan is the same. When he learned that characters from movies appeared in this world, his first reaction was fear of the unknown, and his second reaction was a desire for power.
He planned step by step to gain power. As the saying goes, the poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology. And Ye Nan has knowledge similar to a prophet. Due to his understanding of the plot, he will have many places to use. Therefore, while scraping money and maintaining contact with Dr. Matthew, he plans to rely on the power of technology to strengthen himself. On the other hand, he collects talents, planning to take the initiative to explore and exchange for that unknown power.
And among them, women like Ellie who have a fanatical talent for archaeology and adventure and are knowledgeable are undoubtedly the talents Ye Nan has taken a fancy to. As the saying goes, on a long journey, having a beauty to accompany is also a happy thing. ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
