"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
As soon as Sobek's roar rang throughout the zoo, the other dinosaurs began their part.Sobek obviously didn't want humans to understand that they could communicate. If that had happened it would have been a big problem for him. In doing so, he would not only have demonstrated great intelligence, but also a completely abnormal behavior. If someone had noticed this, humans would hardly have left Sobek and the other dinosaurs alone in the future. Surely they would have explored the planet inch by inch just to find them and subject them to an infinite number of stupid tests.Sobek didn't expect to be able to leave the zoo in peace, but he wanted at least to be able to remain calm once they escaped. He still didn't possess enough power to hold his own against large numbers of humans and therefore it was necessary for him to keep a low profile for a while longer. For that, he needed to deceive the humans.If the dinosaurs had simply fled, someone might have become sus
"To all units! This is a top priority order. We have an massive animal escape from Mega Beast Park. All agents currently not engaged must render aid!" Like the cities of Earth, Flagard City also had its own law enforcement agencies, such as police and firefighters. And being a very large city there were several departments of each of them, all coordinated by the so-called 'central department'. Consequently, the number of law enforcement officers was more than enough to handle the fleeing animals. As in all big cities, the police didn't just have cars and guns: they were equipped with helicopters, riot suits and pretty dangerous weapons. They were perfectly equipped to catch dinosaurs escaped from the park. "Patrols 3, 7, 12 and 18, converge towards the Crimson Building! There are two kentrosaurs wreaking havoc in the traffic!" Thanks to the helicopters, tracking down the dinosaurs was extremely easy. Even though it was now night, the artificial lights and their size did not allow t
"It's working. The perimeter holds up. Thirty minutes have passed and the spinosaurus did no damage” Gene said. "You were right, Roland""Marvelous!" Ludlow looked like a child who had just been given an Easter egg. “Colonel Hicks just announced that the army has entered the city. In a few minutes the assault team will enter the area and fix the spinosaurus properly!"Ebert wrinkled his nose. "Good. I hope everything goes smoothly" he said, then turning to Roland: "Do you know something about the animal that we should know?"Roland shook his head. "I have only observed it twice. It is a completely unknown creature. We don't know how it hunts, how it behaves or how it thinks. All I know is what you already know""Seriously? Nothing else?" Ludlow shivered.“Blame yourself, Mr.Ludlow. You wanted to exhibit the animal immediatly, without knowing anything about it. You didn't wait even a few days to make sure the cage could contain it.
Getting the dinosaurs out of the zoo wasn't part of the initial plan. Sobek had wanted to be captured only to arrive undisturbed in a city, gain fame points and unlock all the boxes of the [Weapon system]. However, he had decided to take another advantage of that affair, taking away some dinosaurs to increase the initial ranks of his army.If Sobek had had to recruit new dinosaurs on his own it would have taken a long time: most dinosaurs were very fast and would have run away the instant they saw him. But if he had had a good initial number of subordinates on his side, then they could have done the work for him, covering much more ground and drastically reducing recruitment times.Thanks to the zoo, therefore, he had obtained dozens of dinosaurs in one fell swoop that would have allowed him to quickly recruit many individuals.According to the plan, after escaping the dinosaurs had activated [Ambush] with the help of Sobek and then headed for the sewers followi
With [Swim speed] Sobek could now swim up to 300 km/h; although they remained underwater for just a minute he was able to put five kilometers away from where they had fallen. When he was sure he was far enough away he emerged holding Carnopo in his jaws, who panted heavily."Are you ok?""You are a fucking madman!"Yes, he was ok."I don't see why I should be called madman. I knew what I was doing""You could have warned me! I lost ten years of my life!""I told you to trust me. If you don't trust your pack leader, how can you call yourself a member of the pack?""Fuck you!"When they jumped off the cliff, Carnopo still had [Reinforced skin], and Sobek obviously had it permanently. In that way, even if they had fallen from a considerable height, nothing had happened, except a little redness in the part that had hit the water. By then he had grabbed Carnopo with his jaws and swam away to give the humans the illusion that they we
Even though it was still the middle of the night, anyone who looked out over the sea would have noticed that ships were frequently passing by. The lights that the boats emitted were easy to recognize.Although Flagrand City wasn't a port city it was still located on the sea, so ship traffic was common. Even with the technology at their disposal, humans preferred to sail near the coasts, where there was less chance of encountering monsters such as megalodons or mosasaurs. Therefore any city that overlooked the sea, regardless of whether it was a port or not, could admire the passing ships not even five hundred meters from the coast.The ships of that world, too, were quite huge. On Earth, a container ship reached just sixty meters, but on Eden the standard dimensions were one hundred meters. This is to make the ship more difficult for sea monsters to sink.One might think that marine reptiles and prehistoric fish were just oversized versions of current life forms
Sobek swam under the ship and memorized the sound of its propellers. He was sure that with his super-developed senses he would be able to track down the right vibration.Then he began to hunt.It had been a while since he'd hunted in the water, but that didn't mean he wasn't capable anymore. He was still able to track down preys and catch them with ease. With all his skills, even in the ocean he wasn't in danger of encountering any predator capable of defeating him. On the contrary, he was the superpredator out there now!He had gone too long without hunting. His body quivered at the thought of a new challenge. He wasn't bloodthirsty, but he was still a predator; his hunting instinct wanted to be vented on some prey. He wanted to sink his teeth into some animal again and fight to tear it apart. Luckily, the ocean was a place teeming with all kinds of lifeforms.He headed out to sea and hid with [Ambush]. Although it was full night, his extraordinary sight
The S.S Venture was a cargo ship over 100 meters long capable of carrying hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo. It was the jewel of the Confederate States of Vinland's navy, a naval engineering masterpiece like few others.Englehorn had been the captain of that ship for ten years. His retirement was very close now. He just had to make that last voyage and then he could get the reward of his hard work. He can't wait to finally being able to retire and enjoy the last years of his life in a quiet country villa.Unfortunately, fate could be a real bastard at times. While the old captain was looking at the sea nostalgically, thinking back to all the times he had admired the placid waves breaking on the keel of the ship, something made the S.S Venture tremble from below.Englehorn lost his balance and barely managed to hold on to the railing, but other upheavals made the ship vibrate like a bell. In the end came a jolt so powerful that the captain slipped and fell i
