Chapter 132: Amber (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

~8 min read 1,424 words

"Click..."

This was the sound of sharp teeth biting through the outer layer of Sun Cheng's bulletproof vest, only to be blocked by the fiberglass inside.

The Vengeance hanging on his chest was flung away; perhaps because it hadn't received his command, it actually didn't automatically transform to protect him.

Feeling a tightness in his chest, Sun Cheng, having caught his breath, struggled and used the butt of his gun to smash fiercely at the head of this Dilophosaurus!

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

After taking several heavy blows from the gun butt to its head, the Dilophosaurus was dazed and dizzy from his strikes, and its movements finally began to slow down.

Sun Cheng, having caught this opportunity, would not let it slip; he swung the gun butt fiercely once more, aiming right at its eye socket, smashing it so hard it flew up and landed heavily on the ground nearby. He didn't care about his disheveled state, quickly kneeling on one knee, raising his M16, and unleashing a burst of fire at it, "Rat-tat-tat... rat-tat-tat..."

The snake of fire spewing from the M16 continuously swept across the juvenile Dilophosaurus. Although 5.56mm caliber bullets couldn't cause much damage to the tough scales of a Velociraptor, every gunshot hitting this juvenile Dilophosaurus resulted in another bullet hole gushing blood!

"Hiss..."

As a result, before he had even finished the magazine, the juvenile Dilophosaurus already had its head drooping, twitching on the ground. Judging by that weak, fading hiss, it looked like it was about to breathe its last.

Finally having dealt with it, Sun Cheng regained his composure and glanced at the bulletproof vest on his chest, its outer layer bitten through, feeling a lingering fear.

"Rat-tat-tat..."

The sound of gunfire not far away reminded him; Sun Cheng remembered he wasn't the only one here. He hurriedly stood up from the ground, raised his weapon, and looked over the Humvee to the other side. Sure enough, Doctor Saitele was also engaged with another juvenile Dilophosaurus.

However, her situation was far worse than his. Seeming to catch his figure in her peripheral vision, Doctor Saitele, who was struggling to hold up her gun and firing wildly to keep that Dilophosaurus at bay, turned her head toward him and shouted joyfully, "Sun, come help me..."

Seeing her face covered in a greenish-black color and one arm hanging limp, relying entirely on her left hand to hold the gun and threaten the Dilophosaurus, Sun Cheng immediately understood she must have been injured.

He immediately raised his gun, aimed briefly, and fired several shots at the Dilophosaurus. Perhaps it felt the pain and was finally afraid; no one expected it to turn, leap, and dive into the nearby woods, disappearing without a trace shortly after.

"Are you okay..."

Sun Cheng stayed alert for a moment, and after hearing no further movement, he put away his gun and walked over to Doctor Saitele.

"I've been poisoned... cough, cough..."

Doctor Saitele smiled bitterly and lifted her left hand, which looked limp and completely devoid of strength. "It was that Dilophosaurus... I wasn't careful... it sprayed venom in my face... it should be... a neurotoxin... my body is losing... sensation."

She looked as if she had been paralyzed; not only was her strength rapidly fading, but her entire body was beginning to become immobile. Sun Cheng frowned, though his eyes held a hint of joy.

He hurriedly bent down to help her up, assisted her into the Gongdianchu, and had her lean against the door. "In your condition, never mind saving others, it'll be a miracle if you don't get yourself killed. Just stay here and wait for my news..."

What else could Doctor Saitele say? She couldn't even move now, so even if she were worried, she could only twitch her lips for a moment before finally nodding helplessly. "I understand... I will stay here... and wait for your good news..."

"I'm leaving now. Lock the door from the inside later. Don't rush to make a sound if you hear movement outside. If it's me bringing people back, I will definitely call for you to open the door!"

After giving a few instructions, Sun Cheng did not take the weapon she handed him, leaving it with her for self-defense.

After exiting the Palace Affairs Office and closing the door, Sun Cheng walked to the Humvee and was just about to open the door to get in when he suddenly glanced at the corpse of the juvenile Dilophosaurus on the ground. After a moment's thought, he dragged it several dozen meters away to discard it, then returned to release Hanwei, restarted the Humvee, and drove toward E Zone following the precise location displayed on Hanwei's screen.

Finally having offloaded Doctor Saitele, he was the only one left in the car. His mood, suppressed for half the night, finally calmed down. Sun Cheng simply stopped using the strap to hang Vengeance and took it down from his chest where it had been hanging the whole time.

"Hanwei, was it you who shut down the island's defense system?" This was something he had been curious about since the incident that night.

"No!" Unfortunately, Hanwei's answer was very decisive. "The defense system was shut down by a technician at the Research Center. He had already left by the time I arrived at the Research Center. Judging by the vulnerabilities and control programs he left in the island's management system, it can basically be confirmed that he has been bought off by another faction!"

"Oh?"

This was beyond Sun Cheng's expectations, but upon second thought, it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't press the matter further.

The car drove along the island's road. Whenever they encountered a checkpoint, Sun Cheng would have Hanwei move to open the gate, then close it after they passed. They stopped and went along the way, and half an hour passed before they knew it.

"Bang... bang..."

After a final shudder, the engine finally died. Sun Cheng slammed his fist heavily onto the steering wheel and sighed helplessly.

It was said that American cars were fuel-hungry, and the Humvee off-road vehicle was an out-and-out gas guzzler. He hadn't known much about cars originally, so he had been skeptical.

But today, he finally knew that the rumor was true.

"Four bars of fuel, and it only lasted this long..."

Angrily slamming his fist on the steering wheel again, he rubbed his hair repeatedly in frustration before turning to look at Hanwei beside him and asking, "Hanwei, how far is it from here to the spaceship?"

"It's about five kilometers along the road, or less than three kilometers if we cut straight through the forest on the opposite side..."

The forest?!

Sun Cheng looked through the car window at the forest not far away, shook his head, and immediately dismissed the idea of cutting straight through.

Are you kidding!

No one knew how many carnivorous dinosaurs were left on the island, and as far as he knew, most carnivores had the habit of hunting at night. Who knew how many prehistoric monsters capable of easily taking his life were lurking in that forest right now!

Not to mention there was still a ghost Hunter that hadn't appeared yet; heaven knows where it was wandering on the island!

He had to go along the road!

Far as it was, at least it was much safer than the forest!

After a moment of thought and having made his decision, Sun Cheng checked the time; it wasn't even two in the morning yet.

Perhaps because he had experienced so many things that night, he still felt very energetic and didn't feel much sleepiness.

So, after composing himself a little, he stretched and prepared to get out of the car.

But unexpectedly, a thumping sound of something falling suddenly rang out in the car.

Being a bit hypersensitive, he subconsciously grabbed his weapon, carefully took out his Flashlight, and looked toward where the object had fallen.

Under the light, an orange crystal was lying at the accelerator pedal under the driver's seat, still rolling slightly.

The moment his gaze fell upon it, Sun Cheng suddenly felt a throb come from somewhere in his body, and he couldn't help but reach out to grab it!
