Chapter 118: Ancient Predators

What I feared most has happened!

Sun Cheng's face sank instantly; he knew that the thing he worried about most had come to pass!

"Damn it, what is Hammond doing? How could the security system, which concerns safety, go wrong?"

Cursing angrily in his heart while feeling restless, a fragment of memory suddenly flashed through Sun Cheng's mind.

He recalled that not long ago, Frenzy had reported to him that a surveillance device it had installed had captured Ada Wong leaving the villa with suspicious movements shortly before the incident.

And the security system on the island suddenly failing—didn't that happen shortly after that?

"Could it be Ada Wong who did it?"

As soon as this thought emerged, it immediately stirred up huge waves in his heart. Regarding this stunning beauty he had only been in contact with for a few days, his intuition kept telling him that this woman was by no means as simple as she appeared.

While Sun Cheng was lost in thought, the brutal slaughter not far away had already begun.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, a figure leaping high in the torrential rain fiercely pounced on a soldier who had been sent out to scout, and began to bite him. The soldier under its weight, who was called Aifei, was still struggling to resist, seemingly blocking his weapon in front of his neck, which was the only thing that stopped the foul-smelling mouth that wanted to crush his throat.

"Everyone, prepare to engage!"

A loud roar interrupted Sun Cheng's scattered thoughts. He followed the sound and looked over; the burly Major nearby threw his Camera to another soldier, then immediately raised the M4A1 in his hand. After sternly issuing the order to engage, he took the lead, raised his gun, and rushed out, aiming at the beasts that were already unable to restrain themselves and had launched an attack on the living, firing shots at them.

"Da-da-da..."

Splashing muzzle flashes constantly flickered in the torrential rain; for a moment, there was nothing but the roars of beasts and shouts of men.

Sun Cheng honestly hid under a tree. He had no weapons, and even the Camera that Frenzy had transformed into had been given by the Major to his subordinate. However, perhaps the other party still wanted to learn something from his mouth; although he rushed into the heavy rain to rescue his team members, his subordinates tacitly left two people under the tree to guard the communication equipment, and incidentally protected him as well.

This actually pleased him. He squinted with interest and looked into the torrential rain dozens of meters away, taking a close look at this battle between the ancient and modern overlords.

The Velociraptors, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and several other types of resurrected carnivorous dinosaurs on the island had not yet been tamed, so after being resurrected, they were all kept in special cages. Even Sun Cheng and his group had not been granted permission to get close and observe them before.

However, fortunately, at the Yanjiu Zhongxin, there were not only photos and videos taken by International Genetic Technologies but also several life-sized hollow plastic models. They were made with some care, at least six or seven parts similar to the real forms.

Therefore, Sun Cheng took a careful look and soon determined that the monsters appearing in the dark night were none other than the Velociraptors kept on the island.

Regarding this type of carnivorous dinosaur, he had heard Doctor Malcolm mention it while strolling on the island in the afternoon: Velociraptors, also known as Dromaeosaurids, were a type of Dromaeosaurid dinosaur unique to the North Asian region.

This should have originally been a small dinosaur with feathers on its body, but archaeologists' understanding of it might not be entirely accurate, or perhaps International Genetic Technologies had used advanced technology to allow this ancient creature to undergo Evolution when completing its genes.

In short, these dinosaurs resurrected on Nublar Island were not only faster and more ferocious, but their bodies were also covered with dense, protruding small blocky scales. No wonder even International Genetic Technologies, after testing them, gave the evaluation that "this is a smart and dangerous creature like a vicious wolf," which shows the danger of the Velociraptors.

"Da-da-da..."

"Provide fire cover..."

Amidst the chaotic gunfire, streams of jetting fire exposed the Velociraptors hiding in the darkness completely.

Sun Cheng counted carefully and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle; there were actually seven Velociraptors. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel extremely fortunate that he had decisively withdrawn from the villa; otherwise, if he had been targeted by these monsters with keen senses, even with Frenzy, it was hard to say whether he would have died there.

The team not far away fought and retreated, getting closer and closer to the forest, so Sun Cheng could see clearly that although the M4A1 bullets could penetrate the scales on the bodies of the Velociraptors, the damage was not sufficient. The Velociraptor that had first rushed out and pounced on a soldier had taken more than a full magazine of bullets, yet it was still able to bite him to death and then struggle to jump up and rush toward another soldier.

Seemingly stimulated by the sacrifice of his teammate Aifei, the soldier Luobi, who looked like he might be of mixed black and white heritage, held an M4A1 carbine and fired continuously with a ferocious expression at a Velociraptor rushing straight at him.

His marksmanship was extremely accurate; he actually blew out the left eye of that Velociraptor with one shot. Unexpectedly, the pain only stimulated its bestial nature even more. The Velociraptor, which had originally been cleverly circling him and dodging bullets, now had a fierce glint in its only remaining eye, and without dodging or avoiding, it lunged straight at the mixed-race soldier Luobi.

Luobi could not dodge in time and was knocked flying by it, and even the weapon in his hand was thrown to the side. After steadying his body and climbing up, a painful expression suddenly appeared on his face as he knelt on the ground. Looking at his right leg, which had become somewhat deformed, it was likely broken from the fall.

Seeing that the Velociraptor had locked onto him and was rushing over again, he had no time to dodge and had to pull a cold Military Knife that emitted a chilling gleam from his right chest. When the Velociraptor reached him and opened its mouth to bite his head, he roared, and instead of dodging, he thrust the Military Knife in his hand straight into its neck.

"Luobi, no..."

The thin, bespectacled white soldier Bin had just repelled a Velociraptor and only then had the spare attention to look over at him. Unexpectedly, he saw the scene where half of the mixed-race soldier Luobi's head was bitten off in one gulp. He couldn't help but have his eyes turn red and roar, while simultaneously pulling a Hand Grenade from his left chest and shouting, "Get down!"

Then he pulled the ring and threw it at that Velociraptor.

"Boom!"

Amidst the explosion, countless tiny shrapnel flew, and the Velociraptor at the center of the explosion was blown to pieces, with remains splattered everywhere.

"Bili, duck..."

The Major finally reached the remaining two people. Perhaps having seen that the M4A1 damage was insufficient, he had somehow equipped his weapon with a Grenade Launcher. Now that he had loaded a Grenade, with a livid face, he immediately pressed the trigger at a Velociraptor that was currently entangled with the Indian-descendant soldier Bili.

Bili tacitly rolled on the ground to the side and lay flat. Accompanied by the explosion that rang out once again, that Velociraptor was also immediately blown to pieces, and a ferocious head flew high into the air and smashed onto the ground more than ten meters away.

The battle between the two generations of overlords, the first round was a draw.
