What on earth is going on?” Ellie murmured, her mind in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had just happened was too bloody—she had watched, helplessly, as Grant was devoured right before her eyes, and her heart was flooded with panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ellie, what are you doing? Get moving yourself!” Ye Nan shouted angrily, snapping her out of her daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only eleven. Though he often broke bones, his stamina was good—but that didn’t change the fact he was only eleven. Dragging someone slowed him down terribly, and behind them, the Velociraptor had already smashed through more than half the cage. If Ellie didn’t wake up and move on her own, he would abandon her—after all, no matter how valuable another person was, nothing mattered more than his own life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…” Startled by Ye Nan’s shout, Ellie snapped back to reality, realizing this wasn’t the time to freeze. She bolted forward, running faster even than Ye Nan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck, this woman…” Ye Nan cursed under his breath and immediately chased after her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing its prey about to escape, the Velociraptor roared in fury, glaring at the cage and smashing it into shards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar! The Velociraptor burst from the cage, let out a deafening roar to the sky, then thrust its hind legs hard and leapt forward, closing the distance in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could this happen? Where’s the behavior detection system? Where’s the power barrier? Why did the systems shut down?” Hammond struck the ground with his cane, his voice sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know,” the lead laborer stammered, sweat beading on his forehead. “The behavior detection system and power barrier use completely separate circuits, buried underground—they shouldn’t be affected by surface storms. But now, for some reason, both systems have been disabled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no time to discuss this—think about how to stop the Velociraptor!” Ye Nan emerged from inside, slamming the heavy door shut behind him. But the door was too massive; even with both Ye Nan and Ellie pushing, they couldn’t close it quickly. “Hurry and help! If that Velociraptor gets out, we’re all dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ye Nan spoke, several white men in work clothes ran over to help him shut the heavy door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the door finally closed, Ye Nan exhaled in relief and turned to Hammond. “Dr. Hammond, can this door hold up against the Velociraptor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably,” Hammond hesitated. “But I’m not certain. The Jurassic Park defense system was designed to rely on the behavior detection system and power barrier for security—everything else was just auxiliary. So I don’t actually know if this door can withstand the Velociraptor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom! Heavy impacts pounded against the door from the other side. The thick metal began to warp under the Velociraptor’s blows, dented and buckled like hammered steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn.” Ye Nan tightened his backpack, considering whether to release Little Godzilla. But he was still small—would he even stand a chance against the Velociraptor? In Ye Nan’s plan, they should first seek out herbivorous dinosaurs to fight, level up gradually, then confront predators like the Velociraptor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You walk one step at a time, eat one bite at a time. Helping Little Godzilla grow couldn’t be rushed. One misstep, and he’d be lost. After all, dinosaurs weren’t benevolent creatures that obeyed human will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom! The sounds grew fainter. Just as it seemed the door would collapse, the noise suddenly stopped—as if the Velociraptor had given up…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew! It’s finally gone.” A white man in tan work clothes held a rifle aimed at the door. When the thumping ceased, he lowered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he didn’t want to fight a dinosaur at all. As Jurassic Park staff, they knew better than anyone how terrifying these creatures were. Sure, they held rifles—but those guns were useless. Dinosaur scales could deflect bullets, and their massive bodies could absorb multiple rounds without serious injury—only enraging them further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not gone,” Ellie said, pulling a thin slip of paper from her bag. “It’s turned around to hunt other dinosaurs. Velociraptors are intelligent and persistent. It won’t forget the food that escaped its jaws.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what should we do?” Hammond leaned on his cane. “Dr. Ellie, you’re the expert on dinosaur behavior—no one knows them better than you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie thought for a moment, then offered a suggestion: “Either we escape so it can’t find us, and it’ll give up—or we kill it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Hammond shook his head. “A storm is raging outside. I don’t know its intensity, but judging by the current conditions, it’s extremely dangerous—we can barely walk. Escaping? We can’t make it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinosaurs were far more resilient to storms than humans. Trying to outrun a Velociraptor in this weather was laughable—and the storm’s dangers were no less deadly than facing the creature itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then kill it,” Ye Nan said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Ye Nan’s words, everyone turned to stare at him, eyes wide with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a dinosaur—a three-meter-tall Velociraptor, armored in scales harder than steel, with scythe-like claws that could slice through iron. How were they supposed to kill it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their stares, Ye Nan smiled faintly. “Dinosaurs aren’t invincible. Think about how humans became the dominant species on this planet. Do you really believe we’re weaker than the rulers of Earth hundreds of millions of years ago? Don’t forget—their era is over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Ye Nan’s right,” Julie chimed in, boosting morale for the men. It was the only way she could help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! Mr. Ye Nan is correct,” Hammond shouted, leaning on his cane. “The dinosaur era is over. Now, they’re nothing but our creations. Let’s fight them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this dire situation, every man’s courage was ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fight them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah! Are we really afraid of them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it comes out, I’ll show it what real technology can do—with this gun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan and Hammond exchanged a glance. A child, an old man, and a woman—none of them had real combat strength. They relied entirely on the workers Hammond had hired. A few words were enough to stir them into battle. Why not use them?\u003C\u002Fp>",1036,"2026-06-21T03:32:50.781Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9332effe53897714b90d7e5c7ecdaf10a7396d05056716bab56b26a690fa1aaf","arrival-in-1994-chapter-24","arrival-in-1994-chapter-22",643,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farrival-in-1994-cover.jpg"]
