Meanwhile, of course, Sobek was listening. He almost laughed when humans called him a baby; in fact he had been born just a year ago (or maybe a little more), but certainly Sarah, Ian and Eddie certainly weren't expecting it.
The scientific explanation of its size had surprised him not a little; he had always assumed that its weight was only 14.5 tons because the System magically made it so. But deep down, he reflected, Eden was a world of science, not magic. Even if the System was something otherworldly, the changes that took place in Sobek's body still had to find a scientific reason for existing.
In a certain sense, the System had made him aware of this fact: even if the descriptions of the abilities were rather approximate, Sobek remembered that for example for [Powerful bite] we were talking about modifications to the mandibular structure and the muscles of the mouth, and that [Rapid digestion] was referred to as gastric juices, all scientific explanations.
As Sarah and Ian re-entered their cabin, the woman threw herself on the bed and threw a fist on the pillow. "That bastard!" she screams."Yes, the definition is correct" Ian muttered leaning against the door jamb. He wanted to come forward to comfort his fiancée, but from his experience he had learned that it was best not to get too close while she was really upset. Or he would become her punching bag.Sarah continued to furiously punch the pillow. “Ugly son of a bitch! Damn capitalist asshole! How dare him? Naming an animal that I discovered! He's a piece of shit!"The last punch was so strong that the pillow opened at the sides, throwing out some feathers. Sarah deeply inspired and then threw herself on the mattress, sinking her head into what was her Punch Game Machine a few moments before.Seeing that his fiancée had finally vented her anger, Ian found the courage to step forward and sat down on the bed next to her. "I know he's an
It took the ship a short time to leave the forest by retracing the river in reverse. Once they arrived at the colony of Odaria they stocked up with provisions and then went out into the open sea via the river.For the first time, Sobek found himself crossing the ocean. Fortunately, since he was an aquatic dinosaur, he didn't feel seasick. Even during the storms he didn't feel the slightest discomfort.The only unpleasant part of that trip was boredom. The journey was rather monotonous. Sobek spent most of his time sleeping, although he had to force himself to do so as his brain didn't need to rest too frequently like normal living things. But the alternative was to stay awake and get bored.Eventually he had come to appreciate Sarah and Ian's conversations and even those of the guards. Even if they were mostly uninteresting talk, they were still better than absolute silence. Even the presence of Nick, who occasionally went down to the hold to see his friends, wa
"Escape?" Carnopo shook his head. "Don't dream. I don't know if you've noticed, but you're locked in a cage, like me""I could go out at any time. Look" Without getting noticed by the humans Sobek lowered one of his claws on one of the bars and cut it as if it were butter.The carnotaur gasped at that show of strength: cutting the reinforced steel like that was an unprecedented feat! "If you are so strong, why don't you escape right now?""Because now isn't the time. I didn't let them caught me just to leave here empty-handed"Carnopo clenched his teeth so hard that they screeched. "Did you let them caught you? Are you crazy by chance? I'd give my life to get out of this fence, and you...""... and I'm the answer to your hopes. I'm here because I want you to escape with me. You and all the others" Sobek interrupted him, emitting a smile when he saw the amazement make its way on the face of the carnotaur."Let us all escape?" The suspicion qu
After disembarking, Ian, Sarah, Eddie and Nick had immediately left Roland's group. None of them were eager to help him take the spinosaurus to the zoo, much less to meet that damned worm called Ludlow.Unfortunately, even the four of them hadn't been together for long. Eddie had left them almost immediately: as soon as he got off the ship he went to look for a means to return to his city, where his mother apparently was waiting for him. He also claimed to have experienced enough thrills during that time and on top of that the day before he landed he had a bizarre dream in which two tyrannosaurs smashed into his car and devoured him alive, so he had decided to 'stay away from any zoo or wildlife reserve for a while'. Strangely, in his dream, the tyrannosaurs had decidedly more monstrous features than the real ones, as they were devoid of feathers and with protruding teeth.Sarah, Ian and Nick reluctantly said goodbye to their friend, then rented a car and headed to Fla
Jocelyne ran. She ran and ran and ran. Still, she knew that thing was behind her.She didn't know where she was, she didn't know how she got there. The world around her looked like an alien plain. The sky was coal black, ash dominated the landscape, it was terribly cold, and nowhere she could see any trace of green. The monstrous skeletons of crumbling houses appeared everywhere in her field of vision, surrounded by a light smoke-like mist that made her cough every time she breathed.Running as fast as she could she reached a pile of rubbish and she hid behind her. The thing that was chasing her didn't seem to notice and it continued in her path. Its horrible call made the girl's blood run cold."Baby... where are you...?"Its voice sounded soft, but Jocelyne didn't budge an inch. She knew it was a sham and that in reality the thing wasn't sweet at all.The sky thundered and rain began to fall, but it wasn't ordinary rain. It was black, oily rain,
Jocelyne felt a mixture of strange sensations inside her as soon as she heard that voice. She whirled around quickly, seeking the source of it, but she couldn't find it; it was as if the voice didn't come from a specific point, but from all the space around her. "Where are you?" "I'm everywhere. You're already looking at me, just as you always look at me, even if you don't realize it" the voice replied. "But if you really need a face to look... I satisfy you" The space in front of Jocelyne curved and thickened, until it formed a figure. She was a woman, or at least she looked like one. Her hair gave off an infinite light and she wore a dress as white as snow. She looked at Jocelyne smiling, but her magnetic eyes were so deep that it seemed to the girl that they were probing her soul. The instant the woman finished appearing, Jocelyne felt immense pressure on her body. The largest black hole ever discovered had a mass more than sixty billion times that of the Sun, and was so large th
The zoo reopened to the public just after lunch. Although there were still several hours to go before the mysterious 'new king of the dinosaurs' was revealed, visitors had already flocked to make sure they didn't miss their seats.Although Mega Beast Park had always been very busy, that day hit an unprecedented peak. The zoo's coffers received more money than ever and the guides had their work cut out to manage all the visitors.Oddly, all the animals seemed a little restless that day. However, zoo curators blame the massive numbers of people for that.Even if they couldn't still enter, the enormous size of the new enclosure can already make the customers dream."Have you seen how big it is? Who knows what it will contain!""I cannot wait to see. According to the news, it's something gigantic!""Why do you think they didn't use the electric fence?""Maybe this animal is so big that it can't be contained by it... or maybe it's shockpro
"Fiuuuu! For a moment I thought it was jumping out of the fence!""Damn! It seemed crazy!""Are there therapists for dinosaurs? This is completely out of its mind!""I understand why they built an enclosure so big. This one is a psychopath!""I am reading the comments and I am really outraged. How can you say such things? I would like to see how you would act if you would be locked in a cage!""Here we go, another animal rights activist has arrived...""However, he's not completely wrong. That's a wild animal, it's not used to captivity. Will it be safe to keep it in a cage?""I don't know and I don't care. I just want that it stay there!"The controversy was raging on the web. Most of the comments were obviously stupid, but some showed some spark of intelligence.The challenge among these people was whether or not it was appropriate to keep the animal in a cage. Many thought it was right to do so, but some were against it, not
