Sobek took Buck to guide him to visit all their camps around Latissa. Thanks to the power of [Teleportation], traveling several tens of kilometers in a few moments was absolutely simple. Sobek gave many speeches, one for each camp, to inspire his troops to work even harder.Sobek had found that most of Latissa's recruits weren't ready to go to war yet. Even with [Regeneration] and the food provided by the feeders, their bodies had taken months to recover, reducing the time for actual training.Unfortunately the environment, or rather the pollution, worked against Sobek's designs. The spinosaurus could see that the situation was much worse than he had initially imagined. Human-controlled continents were reduced to deserts, but even where humans had not yet reached the sea level was rising, the oceans were full of garbage, the climate was changing, and life had to struggle hard to survive.Sobek knew that there was a 'no-return limit', that is a maximum time withi
After completing his inspection of the other continents, Sobek returned to Maakanar. He didn't like what he saw very much, but on the other hand he already knew it would be like this: he remembered the effects that climate change had had on Earth, so it was not surprising that the same would happen. on Eden.With his actions, Sobek had helped slow the catastrophe. He was pretty sure he had gained a few years, maybe even a decade or more. That time was more than enough to 'fix the world'. Very soon, in fact, the second phase of his plan would begin.He knew that it was now only a matter of time before humanity attacked... exactly as he hoped.He had been certain that humanity would not keep the peace when Rambo confirmed to him that humans were starting to build armaments again. His intelligence network had infiltrated all overseas nations, and thanks to it Sobek had constantly under control all movements of humanity.As he had feared, the humans had resum
It wasn't just the dinosaur world that was changing. Human world was also undergoing constant change.For a few months after the discovery of the existence of intelligent dinosaurs, fear had continued to spread through the streets. However, people adapted quickly. After nearly a year of peace, people got used to dinosaurs.By now people talked about dinosaurs as they talked about ethnic minorities or a country they were at odds with. The population of all nations was divided between those who aimed at coexistence and those who hoped for their total extermination.Humans were malleable and hypocritical creatures. The same people who in fear had asked governments to negotiate for peace a year earlier, now that the fear was gone wanted nothing more than to see the dinosaurs disappear from the world.John Hammond was at the head of those seeking a coexistence relationship with dinosaurs. For a whole year he had been promoting campaigns that favored lifestyles
While an epochal storm was brewing around the world, both on the human side and on the dinosaur side, some were benefiting from the situation. The Odaria nation, for example, was in full economic growth.Jocelyne's plan had worked brilliantly. The mega clean energy implant was now half completed and would be finished within a year or two. The solar panels and wind turbines were already in operation and produced huge amounts of energy, but when the plant was finished it would also produce geothermal, water and tidal energy.Although it was only half completed, the mega-implant was already able to meet the energy needs of the entire nation. The national electricity grid had been completely converted to depend on the mega-plant. Once it was completed, the amount of energy produced would have been so great that it could have met the energy needs of even neighboring nations, which would have paid out a lot to have that energy, and there would have still been a lot to resell
The NMWA was in a state of absolute emergency."How did they find out about our plans!?""Are there any spies among us?"“Those monsters have already proven that they can become invisible to any electronic device. What if any of them had infiltrated here?"The video released by Sobek had had a terrible effect on the morale of the heads of state. Everyone was convinced that they would attack first, catching the dinosaurs unprepared, and yet they apparently knew everything.Tensions among the population were already very high. Some of those who praised the war were happy, but many were no longer so sure of their choice. Sobek's speech had frightened them. After all, the spinosaurus had threatened to stain the streets with blood, and he seemed very confident as he spoke. Faced with that threat, even the bravest had faltered. Those who were against the war, on the other hand, were even more frightened and feared that things would degenerate at an
After the internet was disconnected, the whole country went into a state of panic. People had shut themselves up in their homes and waited in fear for something to happen. As Jocelyne had predicted, the absence of the Internet had put an end to most of the riots: with no media, the rioters had stopped regrouping and protesting. However, this situation was not destined to last long: many hotheads had started taking to the streets and throwing stones and homemade Molotov cocktails at the police. Such incidents enticed other people who saw the scene to do the same, and groups of individuals quickly formed and launched themselves ferociously at the police.Had the internet not been reactivated soon, Odaria would have plunged into chaos. And if the government had not found a way to appease the citizens, a revolution would have broken out. And like all revolutions it would have been a bloodbath, where ordinary people would probably have been involved against their will, and the inn
“Rafiki, aren't you coming inside? It's quite cold"Jackson was watching the sea waves calmly crash on the rocks. The faint rays of the morning sun could already be seen in the distance, but much of the sky was still dark. “It's not that cold, temperatures are rising. We are in mid-spring after all"On Eden, the seasons lasted a whole year due to the longer orbit due to the larger orbit of the planet. When Sobek was born it was midsummer, and after more than three years it was now mid-spring. However, the temperatures were still a bit stiff due to the cold winter winds that came from the north and hit the northernmost coasts of Maakanar. Just like the one where Jackson was now.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow approaching behind him and a few seconds later Abe sat down next to him. "You say that. The air makes my skin crawl""Then go home or get something to cover yourself"“And leave you here alone? Nah, you know I w
Within two days, things in Odaria had undergone profound changes.The first, of course, had been the disappearance of the old ruling class. The complete eradication of the families had left a great void in Odaria's economic system, but the government was quick to seize property and land and thus prevented millions of people from falling into poverty due to unemployment. On the contrary, all wages had been raised by at least 5%, an act that had gained even more support from the people.The second change was health care, finally available to everyone and not just to those who were willing to pay. During the first days because of this, the hospitals were literally overrun with patients, as there were many people who, having not received medical treatment for years, were very ill. Fortunately, the doctors had managed to contain the tide of needy: they had first treated those in danger of life and now, slowly, they were taking care of all the others. It would take weeks bef
