Chapter 3 The Ark System
Duan Mo's heart began to beat wildly.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Xingxing also sensed the aura of danger, and she retreated to the corner, extremely nervous. 、
Duan Mo motioned to Zhu Xingxing to be quiet with his eyes, he quietly extinguished the fire, and stood quietly in the dark, not even daring to come out.
There was silence outside, and the sound of the emperor crocodile seemed to disappear, leaving only the whistling wind and rain.
The time in the darkness seemed to be particularly long, as if a century had passed, Duan Mo bent down again, put his eyes to the entrance of the cave and looked out.
It was pitch black outside, and even the starlight didn't exist, and there was no trace of the emperor crocodile.
"I should be gone. Duan Mo breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly, "If this thing is discovered, we will all have to die." ”
Zhu Xingxing stared at his frightened eyes, "What the hell?"
"An emperor crocodile," Duan Mo didn't intend to explain more, "it's a super-large crocodile." ”
"You...... Are you sure it's the emperor crocodile?" When Zhu Xingxing heard the word "emperor crocodile", his originally flabby body tensed up again.
"What, do you recognize this thing?" Duan Mo asked. He'd only seen the emperor crocodile in some of the "Tyrannosaurus rex vs. Spinosaurus" and other curious pictorials, but in fact he knew very little about this creature.
"I'm a graduate student majoring in paleontology. Zhu Xingxing's face was a little unpleasant: "If you are sure that the thing outside is an emperor crocodile...... Then it shouldn't have gone far......"
"What do you mean?" Duan Mo asked.
However, in the next second, he got the answer.
The thatched wall behind him shattered without warning, and the moment Duan Mo heard the sound, he instinctively rolled to the side, and when he looked back again, he saw an incomparably huge black shadow rushing in.
"!" Duan Mo scolded, without any idea of fighting in his heart, grabbed his spear and ran.
This emperor crocodile was twelve meters long, as huge as a bus, and what was even more terrifying was that this bus also had a bloody mouth, its head was bigger than Duan Mo's body, and its sharp teeth were densely arranged.
The thatched house fell apart in an instant, and the scattered thatched grass temporarily blocked the emperor crocodile, buying Duan Mo a moment to escape for his life, Duan Mo didn't have any other thoughts in his heart at the moment, he just wanted to escape.
Even if the Transformers come, I'm afraid they will have to bite off an arm by this monster, not to mention that Duan Mo is just an extremely weak human being?
In the dark, Duan Mo could only vaguely see the situation three or four meters in front of him, and he couldn't even tell which direction he was running.
But fortunately, the emperor crocodile, like a modern crocodile, is not very fast on land, as long as Duan Mo can get rid of it for a distance, there is no big problem.
But he ran and ran, but found that Zhu Xingxing was not following him, he dared to look back, only to see Zhu Xingxing limping after him, the emperor crocodile followed her closely, and he was about to catch up with her.
Emperor crocodile and Dilophosaurus are not the same, once Zhu Xingxing is bitten, it will definitely be broken into two pieces in an instant, and there is no possibility of survival.
"What a waste!" Duan Mo scolded, turned his head and ran forward, he wouldn't do anything heroic to save beauty - on this island, the end of a hero is to turn into a piece of meat.
"Climb up the rock!" In the darkness, Zhu Xingxing's voice came from behind, "Climb to a high place, it can't come up!"
Duan Mo was stunned for a moment, he vaguely remembered that there were several boulders near the thatched hut, which were five or six meters high, so he quickened his pace and rushed in the direction of the boulders. However, after only a few steps, he stopped again.
"Damn, I'll save you again!" he turned around with a curse, raised his spear, and ran towards Zhu Xingxing and the Emperor Crocodile.
Zhu Xingxing was already hopeless in her life, but when she saw that Duan Mo had actually gone and returned, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in her heart, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her legs, and accelerated her running speed.
"You hurry up and roll on the stone for me!" Duan Mo scolded angrily the moment he and Zhu Xingxing passed by.
"Be careful yourself!" replied Zhu Xingxing.
Duan Mo held his spear sideways, feeling extremely annoyed.
Be careful: In the face of a crocodile as big as a bus, no matter how careful you are, you will be bitten to death, right?
Seeing the human being in front of him suddenly stopped, the emperor crocodile had some doubts in his heart. But the slightest doubt was quickly dispelled - the thing in front of him was pitiful and pitiful, and could not pose a threat to himself at all.
Its limbs were immensely thick, its rough skin was wrapped in strong muscles, its back was hard bony armor, and it was a killing machine. Duan Mo, on the other hand, had no claws, no teeth, only a spear.
This spear is too small for the emperor crocodile.
Duan Mo knew this, he didn't plan to fight with the Emperor Crocodile, as long as he stopped it a little bit and bought a little time for Zhu Xingxing.
But the emperor crocodile obviously didn't want to waste time, it just paused a little and pounced again.
Its exaggerated mouth swept over, and a fishy smell instantly covered Duan Mo, who used all his strength to leap backwards, bypassing its mouth, and stabbing the spear in his hand hard into its back.
Then, this spear, which had been with Duan for a long time, broke in an instant.
The Emperor Crocodile's bone armor was stronger than expected, and Duan Mo had already expected this outcome, so he turned around and fled without hesitation.
His most powerful attack is not even a tickle in the eyes of the other party, so what else is this fighting?
Fortunately, the hard bone armor provides protection while also limiting the flexibility of the crocodile's body. It can't tear its prey by rolling like a modern Nile crocodile, it can only stab straight forward, otherwise its body weighing ten tons can crush Duan Mo to death.
Duan Mo had no scruples this time, and ran forward desperately, and in the sound of wind and rain, he heard Zhu Xingxing's call.
In the darkness, he could vaguely see a boulder in front of him, there were some small slopes on the side of the boulder, and Zhu Xingxing had climbed to the top of the boulder, calling Duan Mo anxiously.
Duan Mo jumped up without hesitation and climbed up the slope. His body rubbed against the solid rock, and he was immediately cut with large scars, but he didn't care about it, the adrenaline had already blocked his pain.
The emperor crocodile also seemed to know that once the prey climbed up, there was nothing it could do, so it actually lay down, and after a short period of accumulation of limbs, this ten-ton giant beast actually jumped up!
The emperor crocodile opened its bloody mouth in mid-air and bit Duan Mo's body fiercely, and at the moment when he was about to bite Duan Mo, Duan Mo also jumped up desperately, and then grabbed Zhu Xingxing's hand.
Zhu Xingxing desperately grabbed Duan Mo, and Duan Mo also used every muscle in his body, tightly picking at the top of the boulder.
Duan Mo even heard the crisp sound of Emperor Crocodile's teeth colliding at his feet.
But the beast was still too inflexible after all, and when its momentum was exhausted, it fell to the ground with a loud bang from its heavy body, and even the whole rock trembled.
Duan Mo took advantage of this opportunity to climb to the top of the rock with his hands and feet, and then fell to his knees, unable to move again.
His heart was already beating to his throat, and it seemed like he could spit it out at any moment.
Zhu Xingxing was also shocked, even in the dark night, Duan Mo could see her pale face.
The emperor crocodile was still wandering under the boulder, it slammed into the rock angrily from time to time, Duan Mo and Zhu Xingxing could only lie down, not daring to move at all. This stone is their only life-saving straw, if they accidentally fall down, they can only die in the crocodile's mouth.
The darkness was as thick as ink, and there was no light of dawn in sight, and as time passed, the emperor crocodile seemed to have finally given up on them, and could no longer hear its roar.
But Duan Mo and Zhu Xingxing still didn't dare to go down, and they decided to spend the night on this stone.
After escaping death, Duan Mo felt a sense of collapse all over his body, and he lay on the rock, staring blankly at the endless sky above his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, he faintly heard a whimper.
The voice seemed to come from Zhu Xingxing, Duan Mo turned his head to look, and saw Zhu Xingxing kneeling beside him, his shoulders constantly shaking.
"Cry for what. Duan Mo was a little upset and turned around.
Duan Mo's attitude became the last straw that crushed Zhu Xingxing, and she burst into tears, with questions such as "what the hell is this place" and "why am I here" in the middle of her cry.
"I also want to know why I'm here!" Duan Mo said irritably, "You'd better be quiet, or I'll kick you down!"
Duan Mo's intimidation was very effective, and Zhu Xingxing immediately closed his mouth, but he still kept sobbing.
Duan Mo sighed, he also wanted to return to the life of modern society, on this terrifying island, death was as common as eating.
"Bastard, what the hell is going on!" Duan Mo raised his wrist hatefully, staring at the spar embedded in his skin.
There is no doubt that everything is because of this spooky stone.
But at this moment, the stone suddenly flickered.
Its surface flowed with a strange light, faint but conspicuous in the darkness.
"The sample implant has been activated. ”
"Sample Number: BH9523."
"Race: Homo sapiens. ”
"Survivability: TBD. ”
"The Ark system is activating. ”
"System activated, sample occupation: R&D. ”
"The end of science, perhaps, is theology. Good luck, poor survivor. ”
A series of characters continued to appear on the surface of the spar, and the light reflected on Duan Mo's face, he looked surprised, and before he could react, there was a sharp pain in his head.
It felt like someone had beaten his brain into a paste with a stick, and with the pain, countless drawings were etched into his memory.
"The grinder blueprint has been unlocked to make ignition powder, narcotics, stimulants, insect repellents, ......"
"The primary equipment blueprint has been unlocked, and you can craft bows and arrows, animal skin clothing, ......"
"The Refining Furnace and Blacksmith Bench blueprints have been unlocked, you can craft metal tools, you can refine basic resources......"
Zhu Xingxing, who was in front of Duan Mo, was also experiencing the same thing as Duan Mo at this time.
"The Ark system is activated, sample class: Beast Tamer. ”
The characters flickered a few times, and gradually dimmed, and at that moment, another line of words appeared on the hedr.
This line is completely different from the text above, it is a delicate block letter, as if it came from the hand of a woman.
"Back then, men were inferior to women in wartime, and people were fierce to beasts. ”
