Blue had posted the video on the Internet just an hour after Odaria's army was defeated, obviously using hacking systems to send it to every available electronic device. Thanks to the power of telecommunications, billions of people saw the video at the same time. Initially, most people thought it was a joke, but curiosity was still an element rooted in the human race, so many went to check what was happening in Cartago via satellite images. When they actually saw that the city was teeming with dinosaurs, they all panicked! Chaos poured into the streets within hours. Many abandoned their homes and fled to the mountains or the countryside. Journalists obviously joined this climate of terror and, faced with such news, sent their vehicles to inspect the city directly. The dinosaurs had ignored them, and in doing so the helicopters had taken up what was left of what was Cartago and then had spread it over the television. This had done nothing but fuel the general panic. Humans could be e

Malcolm and Dreyfus rushed to where people were gathering. The wisest ones had stayed behind, knowing that if they approached they might attract unwanted attention, but most people wanted to see what was happening.When the two men arrived they witnessed an almost pitiful scene. What everyone had pointed out as a 'crazy' was a woman who must have been at least forty years old, who was trying to get out through one of the streets leading to the enclousure, obviously being stopped by the dinosaurs present there. The animals weren't hurting her, they were just bringing her back, but the woman didn't stop and kept running towards her exit every time.The dinosaurs looked rather bewildered. They seemed unable to understand the situation and from their looks it was clear that they were wondering if it wasn't the case to stun or immobilize the woman. For how many times they brought the woman back from the enclousure, in fact, she returned to the attack."Lady, please c

Playing in advance was a good move. As Sobek had predicted, some of the dinosaurs on guard had overheard many humans arguing among themselves about whether or not to make requests, and it hadn't even been an hour since Al's 'disobedience'.Dreyfus and Malcolm, like many more shrewd ones, had begun to fear the worst. Like Sobek, they too imagined that things would quickly degenerate.Fortunately, Old Li's public announcement calmed everyone's mind. Knowing that governments around the world wanted to negotiate had rekindled hope in the hearts of humans who were now more likely to wait a little longer. In a flash, every source of revolt was extinguished; even the most belligerent agreed that it was appropriate to observe how the situation would develop.The other announcement, namely the one in which Old Li passed off Sobek's promise to bring families together as a gift, was received even better: the parents who had been separated from their children almost cried a

“Will you go to negotiate? Are they crazy?" Jackson exclaimed.Jocelyne expected that reaction from her guard, but still she couldn't help but sigh in exhaustion. She had really had enough of screaming and scolding for that day.When the meeting was over, her father took her to his study and gave her a really bad time. Markus Jersey had never been so proud of her daughter before, but that hadn't stopped him from unloading on her an endless series of reproaches at the speed of 8 per second until the girl was almost deaf.Her mother had reacted even worse. As soon as she discovered that her daughter had dared to intervene without permission at the meeting, speak so brazenly to the heads of the families and even agreed to be the ambassador who would go to confer with a monstrous group of talking dinosaurs, she had raging like a bull. Jocelyne had very noticeable slap marks on her face and she was pretty sure that her mother would keep beating her until she pa

Of course, one of the dumbest things a person could do when he went to a zoo was to walk into an enclosure and try to ride an animal. And if the aforementioned animal was carnivorous, then in all likelihood that person wouldn't have come out of the cage alive.And now, Jocelyne wasn't just about to climb on the back of an allosaurus, one of the most dangerous predators that ever existed, but the aforementioned allosaurus was also wild, unrestricted and speaking at the same time. Although he had offered himself spontaneously, Jocelyne felt a lump forming in her throat as the animal bent to lift her up, bringing his head a few centimeters from the ground and thus making his teeth as big as a human finger very visible.Trying to not think that what she was touching was a carnivorous dinosaur three times her height, Jocelyne pulled herself up and sat on Al's shoulders. back grew thick plumage which made the animal's skin rather soft. When Al stood up to her full height, Jo
