Chapter 107: Dinosaurs? Dinosaurs!

~7 min read 1,231 words

After resting for the morning at the Larvis Hotel, Sun Cheng was not idle.

Through his deliberate inquiries, he soon learned the information of all the investors invited by International Genetic Technologies.

Excluding himself, there were not many invited to participate in this trip to Nublar Island; there were only nine in total, all from the United States venture capital circle, including many well-known Silicon Valley venture capital firms that even Sun Cheng had heard of, such as Sequoia, Monroe, Sierte, and Atlas.

However, apart from Ada Wong, the other eight were all middle-aged men, with an average age likely exceeding forty.

In such a circle, if he were truly from Ruige China Investment Company, it would not be difficult to blend in.

Unfortunately, Sun Cheng really had no connection to Ruige China at all. Although he had inquired and found that no one else from Ruige China had arrived, to avoid exposure, Sun Cheng acted very low-key; he did not even chat with Ada Wong for another word.

At 1:45 PM, two S-76 Helicopters finally arrived in San Jose.

After receiving the notification, the Larvis Hotel arranged a large 20-seat Mercedes-Benz business van to take the group to the helicopter landing site.

Sun Cheng left his suitcase at the hotel, bringing only the two small, transformed Decepticons, Defender and Revenge, as he prepared to head to Nublar Island.

"Sir, please don't make things difficult for us. Photography is prohibited on the island!"

When it was his turn to board, Sun Cheng was unexpectedly stopped by a burly white man who had stepped off the helicopter.

Sun Cheng stood still immediately, looking at the white man blocking his path, his tone flat: "Your International Genetic Technologies has already had several safety accidents recently, so our Ruige Company is cautious about whether to participate in the third round of financing for the 【Jurassic Park】 project. We need some references. I believe Doctor Hammond will agree to let me take some non-confidential photos to give the company's senior management confidence!"

His gaze was involuntarily drawn to the dark blue baseball cap the other man was wearing, which was printed with the pattern of an upright monster, with the words written in English below--【Jurassic Park】!

"Jurassic Park?! Could it really be related to dinosaurs, just as I guessed?"

In his mind, a conjecture about 【Jurassic Park】 kept popping up, disturbing his thoughts.

To avoid giving himself away due to distraction in such a situation, he could only suppress those absurd thoughts again and looked at the white man blocking his boarding with a firm attitude.

The white man looked troubled; after thinking for a moment, he took out his walkie-talkie and asked in a low voice: "David, an invitee wants to bring a camera to Nublar Island. How should we handle this?"

"Damn it, they're all guys we can't afford to offend... Forget it, let him pass for now. When we get to the island, I'll report the situation to the boss and let him handle it himself..."

"Alright!"

After receiving the instructions, the white man let Sun Cheng, who was allowed to carry Revenge, board the helicopter.

Half an hour later, after refueling and loading supplies purchased on the island, the two S-76 Helicopters took off from San Jose and flew toward Nublar Island, more than 180 kilometers away on the west coast of Costa Rica.

After the helicopters had been flying over the endless sea for nearly two hours, they heard a cheer: "We're here..."

Sun Cheng subconsciously looked out the helicopter window and sure enough saw a beautiful island with high, lush mountains and dense vegetation, with green as far as the eye could see, coming into view.

"We are about to land. Please make sure to fasten your seatbelts or hold onto the handles..."

A reminder came from the co-pilot's seat in the front row. Just as Sun Cheng and the others were feeling confused, they saw the helicopter dive into a canyon extending from the island and fly directly toward it.

"It's canyon wind..."

Beside him, an middle-aged investor who clearly flew in helicopters often glanced at the environment outside and quickly fastened his seatbelt.

This was Sun Cheng's first time in a helicopter, and just as he was feeling surprised, he was suddenly nearly shaken out of his seat by a violent jolt.

Only then did he react and hurriedly reach out to grab the handle beside him!

Then, the helicopter kept decelerating and swaying from time to time in the turbulence, shaking Sun Cheng, who was riding a helicopter for the first time, quite badly, before it finally stopped on a helipad carved out in front of a waterfall at the end of the canyon.

"Are you alright..."

Perhaps seeing that Sun Cheng's face looked a bit pale, Ada Wong walked over and asked him casually.

"I'm fine!" Sun Cheng shook his hand. He had been caught off guard and shaken up, but he was truly alright.

Finally arriving on Nublar Island, he cautiously surveyed his surroundings, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"There are security personnel on the island, and they have guns..."

Not far from the helipad, a team of big men in camouflage shirts were standing there, each holding a gun—all American-made M16s. Looking at the bulges at their waists, besides pistols, there were likely other dangerous items in their tactical belts!

Next to that team of security personnel, two Humvees and a minibus were parked there. The bodies of the vehicles were also printed with the 【Jurassic Park】 pattern, and the ferocious monster in the pattern looked increasingly clear, appearing very similar to some 3D dinosaur restoration images Sun Cheng had seen online.

After Sun Cheng and the others all got off the helicopter, a slightly short and thin middle-aged white man immediately stepped out from the security team: "I am Wells, ordered to escort everyone to the island. Please follow me..."

Catching sight of the camera in Sun Cheng's hand, Wells frowned slightly but didn't say anything more.

After Sun Cheng and the others boarded the minibus, the security team also got into the two Humvees, one in front and one in back, protecting the minibus in the middle as they drove onto the island.

Not long after the convoy started, they turned a corner and saw a security gate ahead.

Sun Cheng scanned it vigilantly and discovered that this gate was not simple. Around it, a partition wall four or five meters high had been built with cement and steel frames, topped with 10,000 volts of high-voltage electricity, extending dozens of meters north and south, each disappearing into the distant woods.

Only a passage separated by steel frames could pass through here, with iron gates on both sides of the passage; unless both iron gates were opened at the same time, it was impossible to pass through.

There were not only investors like Sun Cheng on the minibus, but also several personnel from International Genetic Technologies.

Noticing that everyone was attracted by this security measure, the middle-aged white man who had collected Sun Cheng's invitation letter at the hotel—David—proudly introduced: "This is one of the many security facilities we have prepared for the dinosaur park. There are over 50 miles of these high-voltage steel protective belts on the island..."

Keenly catching the word "dinosaur" from his mouth, Sun Cheng's eyes suddenly narrowed.
