Chapter 37: Jurassic Park
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Sun Wukong and the others took a car to the airport under the guidance of the housekeeper.
But this time it was no longer a passenger plane, but a helicopter.
On the tarmac was a white and blue helicopter, and next to it stood an old man with a straw hat in his left hand, a cane in his right hand, and a kind face wearing glasses.
"Hello, Ms. Chen." The white-bearded old man said hello to Betsy, and waved his hand to Sun Wukong with a smile and said, "Hi, kids, hello." β
"Hello, Mr. Hammond." Betsy had been told last night that the white-bearded old man in front of her was John Hammond, the owner of an international genetic technology company, and one of their tour guides.
"Welcome, I'm going to go on an 'adventure' with you today." John Hammond said with a smile.
"Where are we going to explore?" John didn't expect to meet a person with the same name as him in this place, and he was a little depressed, but when he heard that he was going on an adventure, he immediately came to his senses.
"You'll find out soon." John Hammond smiled mysteriously.
The crowd boarded the helicopter and flew towards the west coast of Costa Rica.
It wasn't the first time John and Amanda had flown in a helicopter, but it was the first time they had experienced something like this, and after a night's rest, they didn't know what it was like to be a teenager, and they sat in their seats and moved excitedly, pointing to the scenery outside the window and shouting loudly.
"Below is the Cabo Blanco Ecological Reserve in Costa Rica." Hammond saw that they were in high spirits, and occasionally pointed out to them where they had flown over.
Sun Wukong once traveled around the world lying on somersault clouds, and he had no interest in these, so he squinted his eyes very quietly to recuperate. Secretly thinking about Bullseye, "The Boss" and the Mad Hunter Kraven.
As for Bessie, she didn't know what she was thinking, maybe she was worried about Justin's safety.
"How long will it take us to get there?" Amanda asked.
"About forty minutes to go." Hammond replied.
About forty minutes later.
From the helicopter overlook, you can see a tropical jungle island in the middle of the vast blue ocean ocean. Although it is said to be an island, you can see the rolling hills on this island, as well as a beautiful coastline that is several miles long and crescent-shaped.
Through the cockpit glass, they could see that the water was gradually turning from green to blue-green.
"Is that the destination of our expedition?" Amanda asked.
Ten minutes ago, John, who was as enthusiastic as Amanda, looked a little tired now, sitting lazily and dozing off. He was so fat that his body got tired easily. Hearing Amanda's cry, John just opened his eyes and looked weakly.
"Yes, this island, Costa Rica calls it Isla Nublar, but I like the name Cloudless Island even more. Cloud Island is my private animal sanctuary and the largest private animal sanctuary in the entire Americas. It is eight miles long and three miles wide at its widest point, with a total area of twenty-two square miles. β
Hammond replied with a laugh, and then he introduced in a very proud and proud tone that his private animal sanctuary, Cloud Island, was actually an underwater mountain formed by volcanic magma erupting from beneath Haiti.
As he spoke, the helicopter had already flown over Cloud Island.
Cloud Island is a mysterious and ancient island of mist, shrouded in mist on the mountains covered by endless forests.
The helicopter descended in the clouds, and as it descended, you could clearly see the cliffs and waterfalls that were almost close at hand.
Amid the roar of the fall of the waterfall and the emptying of the helicopter's rotors, a minute later, the helicopter finally stopped on the tarmac a few dozen meters in front of the waterfall.
A middle-aged red man wearing a baseball cap ran towards the helicopter, opened the door, and said excitedly, "Hello! I'm Ed Regis. Cloud Island. β
It's beautiful here!
When everyone got off the helicopter, they were a little surprised by the steepness and beauty of this mountain stream.
John on the side sneezed, and then quickly tightened his clothes.
The air in the mountain stream is a little cold and humid, but it is fresh and smells of vegetation.
Ed Regis looked at a path that winded down the mountain in front of him and reminded everyone: "The mountain road is a bit rough, everyone be careful about your step." β
Led by Regis, Sun Wukong and they walked down the mountain.
As the fog around him became thinner and thinner, and he walked farther and farther, Sun Wukong could already see the surrounding landforms and scenery more clearly, and even saw the white roof hidden in the jungle under the mountain.
While passing a tall grove of palm trees, Amanda noticed a very abrupt protrusion from the top of a palm tree on the side of the road, a bare section of the trunk without a single leaf.
"Oh my God!" Amanda, who was staring curiously at the bare tree trunk, suddenly moved the trunk, and was surprised that the tree trunk turned around, and then she saw the true face of the tree trunk, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Mom, oh my God! β
"Amanda, what's wrong?" Hearing Amanda's voice, Bessie, who was not distracted, subconsciously looked over, and following Amanda's gaze, she saw a behemoth fifty feet high.
"John, did the biology teacher say that elephants are the largest mammals living on the earth today?" Amanda stared at the big monster above her head and asked.
"Yes, I think she did say something like that." Next to him, John, who was dumbfounded, came back to his senses and replied.
"6 The tallest mammal on the earth, the giraffe, is generally no more than 3o feet tall, and the largest mammal, the elephant, is usually only 20,000 pounds, but this one in front of me is ......," Amanda said blankly, the height and weight of the giraffe and elephant, and the moment in front of her said what she knew.
"Didn't you say that the dinosaurs were already extinct?" John exclaimed.
"I know, the surprise that Dad said must be these big guys." Amanda said.
It turned out that those mysterious smiles of Justin and Hammond all hinted at the earth-shattering existence of these rocks in front of them on this island.
"In the Yunwu Island Reserve, there are 21 protected creatures for the time being, including Tyrannosaurus rex, Allosaurus, Mesospinosaurus, Diclotirapod, Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Halberdus, Microceratosaurus, Thyrosaurus, Ctenosaurus, Duck-billed Dragon, Arnithosaurus, Brontosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Ophodontosaurus, Orflosaurus...... And what you're seeing now is a brontosaurus, one of the largest of all dinosaurs. By adulthood, the brontosaurus may have grown to 75 feet tall and weighed up to 60,000 pounds. β
Hammond explained the dinosaur species on Cloud Island.
"What you are entering is a whole new world, a new world of prehistory."
As I walked all the way, I kept seeing the big ones with their heads and necks moving above the palm treesβthe Brontosaurus.
After three steps, I don't know how long it took for everyone to reach the end of the trail.
At the end of the trail stands a hand-painted sign that shows the rough bark of a log that reads, "Welcome to Jurassic Park." β
Unlike Betsy, John and Amanda, who were shocked by the dinosaurs that suddenly resurrected in front of their eyes, Sun Wukong was thinking: It is said that dragon meat is a great tonic, is it secretly killed and roasted?
Miserable giant power charm**, waiting to be fed**, but it is the time when the intake of great tonic is urgently needed.
