Chapter 49 The Feeling of Freedom

Bai Ye took a deep breath, then raised the cluster bomb in his hand, assuming a baseball pitcher's stance. The moment the Tyrannosaurus Rex reached him, he threw it with all his might.

Bai Ye aimed for its mouth. An internal explosion would undoubtedly be more devastating than an external one.

As soon as he threw the cluster bomb, Bai Ye turned and ran without hesitation.

Cluster bombs were terrifying things.

They were also known as inhumane bombs. In Bai Ye's world, they were considered "extremely cruel" weapons, prohibited by civilization and even subject to international conventions.

However, one was an air-to-ground missile, and the other was a fist-sized thrown bomb. Bai Ye felt they couldn't be exactly the same, but even if they were related, he didn't dare to be careless.

Then…

BOOM!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion occurred.

The instant Bai Ye looked back, he saw that the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body had split open with countless fissures. Then, streams of pale blue light, like sharp swords, pierced out from within its body. Immediately after…

It was torn to shreds!

Accompanied by the explosion of the cluster bomb, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body was instantly ripped into pieces. Then, amidst a vast expanse of light, it disintegrated into ash, leaving no trace behind.

Where the Tyrannosaurus Rex had stood, the ground suddenly collapsed, turning into fine sand. A massive crater, over seven or eight meters in diameter and nearly two meters deep, appeared there.

Following that, a terrifying blast wave pushed outwards in all directions, forming a ripple.

Bai Ye felt as if his chest had been struck by a hammer, sending him flying backward. He then slammed hard onto the ground.

Bai Ye lay on the ground, grimacing in pain for a good while before finally getting up. Looking at the devastation before him, he couldn't help but tremble inwardly.

The power of that cluster bomb was too terrifying. That Tyrannosaurus Rex was simply blown to smithereens?

Bai Ye couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat. It seemed he needed to treat that great inventor better from now on. While he could be unreliable at times, when he was reliable…

He was almost *too* reliable. Something like this could easily blow you up if you weren't careful.

"Damn it, that old man!"

Suddenly, Bai Ye remembered Dr. Harding. That guy had actually run off, abandoning him!

That wasn't the main problem. The key issue was that if Dr. Harding ran off, would his mission be considered complete?

Bai Ye didn't have time to look at the mess. He quickly sprinted towards the outer perimeter, trying to catch up to Dr. Harding.

Fortunately, Dr. Harding hadn't gone too far. After chasing for about ten minutes, Bai Ye saw Dr. Harding sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, clearly having exhausted his last bit of strength and unable to run any further.

"Hey!" Bai Ye reached out and patted Dr. Harding's cheek, asking, "Are you dead yet?"

Dr. Harding gasped, "You… you… you're still alive?"

"Just a Tyrannosaurus Rex, don't be so scared," Bai Ye said. "This young master has torn zombies with his bare hands and fought ancient tomb spirits. A dinosaur is nothing."

Bai Ye bragged shamelessly, completely forgetting that he had intended to abandon Dr. Harding and run for his own life just moments ago. He reached out and slung Dr. Harding over his shoulder.

"Let's go!" Bai Ye said. "We should be nearing the exit of Jurassic Park. Don't cause me any more trouble."

Bai Ye carried Dr. Harding forward. Finally, as the twilight faded and night began to fall, they saw a large expanse of barbed wire.

Bai Ye pointed forward with his chin, "Are we here?"

Dr. Harding's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, we can leave now."

Bai Ye asked, "I'm curious, can barbed wire really stop dinosaurs?"

"Ordinary barbed wire, of course not," Dr. Harding explained. "When I cloned those dinosaurs, I implanted chips in them. The chips could restrict their movements. Even when they went out of control later, it only led to riots. According to the preset chip programs, the barbed wire is a boundary. Their range of movement would not cross this boundary, so as long as we cross the barbed wire, we'll be safe."

Bai Ye nodded, carrying Dr. Harding to the edge of the barbed wire. He pulled aside the already deformed and torn wire, then led Dr. Harding through.

Indeed…

"You have completed the hidden mission: Help Dr. Harding leave the Jurassic Park area. Mission reward: Fossil of Aerodactyl x1, Chocolate Energy Bar x1."

Fossil of Aerodactyl: A peculiar fossil still containing life force. If the fossil's time could be reversed, perhaps one could see the legendary ancient beast tamer – Aerodactyl.

Chocolate Energy Bar: Upon consumption, instantly restores stamina and all injuries.

After crawling through the barbed wire, Bai Ye's mission was complete. Simultaneously, the Fossil of Aerodactyl and the Chocolate Energy Bar were added to his inventory.

Among these, the Fossil of Aerodactyl…

In Bai Ye's eyes, it was just a piece of worthless rock.

Although the idea of reversing time for a fossil sounded magical, in the World Battlefield, this place full of unknowns, it was indeed possible. But the problem was, Bai Ye didn't know how. At least, in his previous life, Bai Ye hadn't heard of such a thing.

Therefore, since he didn't know the method, it was just a worthless rock.

What truly made Bai Ye excited when he accepted the mission was the Chocolate Energy Bar. Bai Ye had obtained this item in his previous life and knew its effects from the start. It was a life-saving elixir at critical moments, even if it tasted like chocolate.

Having this item in his inventory, Bai Ye considered it equivalent to having saved a life.

Wasn't that better than that so-called fossil?

At the same time…

Dr. Harding was also overcome with emotion. He was so excited that he even knelt down, tears streaming down his face. "Eleven years! Eleven whole years! I've finally seen the light of day again, finally left that damned place. I no longer have to face those terrifying monsters…"

Dr. Harding cried out, then stood up again, spreading his arms and running forward. He seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being able to move freely. He no longer had to worry about being eaten by dinosaurs when he went out. At this moment, the eleven years of pressure on Dr. Harding's heart were released.

But just then…

A loud noise erupted from beneath Dr. Harding's feet, and a huge fissure suddenly appeared.

A massive dark shadow abruptly emerged. It was a monster seven or eight meters tall, resembling a frog. It leaped out from underground and swallowed Dr. Harding whole in one gulp.

Bai Ye scratched his head. "I think I forgot to tell him that other areas of the World Battlefield might be even more dangerous than Jurassic Park."
