"Have you proposed WHAT!?"
Chloe was completely stunned. Of all the peace proposals she had heard, this was by far the most absurd.
"I don't see anything wrong with it" Jackson murmured, who was sitting nearby. Just a day after the duel he was already able to sit up, testimony that the injuries were not so serious. And that he had a strong stamina. "In this way, there will be assured peace"
“Yeah, but… well…” Chloe didn't know what to say. "More than a peace proposal, it looks like a trade agreement!"
"I'm not a tycoon's daughter for nothing" Jocelyne replied, barely picking something off the plate she had in front of her. Her stomach was closed. Even though she had done her best to stay confident throughout the day, as soon as she returned to the others all her anxiety and mental fatigue fell on him. “Peace negotiations are no different from trade agreements, they are simply called differently. It all consists in convincin
"This is ridiculous""I told you that you should have disguised yourself"“I was thinking of a fake mustache! Why am I dressed like this!?""I couldn't think of anything else to get you to put on a balaclava"Ellie was trying hard not to laugh, but it was next to impossible. Not with Alan next to her bare-chested, in a pair of sexy knickers, a balaclava on his head and tied by big chains.The two entered the Department. It was night, so it was obviously deserted, but some people were always there: guards, orderlies, and obviously some technicians who kept the situation under control even when everyone was asleep. After all, if an emergency occurred, someone had to be ready to intervene.In fact, as soon as they entered they had not taken three steps before four guards met them. "Doctor Sattler!" they greeted her. "How come here at this time? And who is yours… ”Their eyes widened as they saw Alan. "… friend?"
"I accept"Jocelyne smiled at those words. She had predicted that Sobek would accept, but she clearly she couldn't be one hundred percent sure, not until he himself confirmed her agreement. "You made the right choice"“I decide to hope so. I want to trust you” Sobek said. “But I have one condition: we will fulfill our obligations when you fulfill yours. We won't give you prisoners back in advance and we won't give you meat in advance. As for the stocks, you can take them the moment the peace treaty enters into force, given that you have fulfilled our request to leave our territory; but as for the flesh, it will be delivered to you every time you deliver us a member of our people, and a prisoner will be returned to you every time you free forty of our brothers. This is the deal, take it or leave it. I won't accept exceptions on this"A wise man once said that trusting was good, but not trusting was better. Sobek had no doubts that if he immediat
Chloe and Jocelyne were waiting together in a room inside their hotel. After Sobek announced that he would accept the peace, they withdrew to await the response of the NMWA. Sobek had let them do it, knowing that the human political system was much longer than that of the dinosaurs, and he had simply stretched out outside the hotel waiting for news.The tension in the room was such that it could be cut with a knife. Chloe was nibbling on her fingernail while Jocelyne was playing with a lock of her hair.In the end it was Chloe who broke the silence: "What will you tell the NMWA?""The truth" Jocelyne replied. “Either they accept, or we all end badly. There are no third options"“The NMWA won't be sympathetic to you. You had already irritated them in the previous days, but after you bypassed the information block and disclosed those things..."“I don't care if they're angry. What interests me is that they accept, so that all of us
It took two days for the peace treaty to be ready and transported to Cartago. Governments had used the fastest aircraft in their possession to cover great distances in the shortest possible time. After all, no one guaranteed them that the dinosaurs didn't suddenly change their minds. The news of the imminent signing of the peace treaty quickly went around the world. The governments this time did not impose any censorship: everyone knew what was about to happen. In a flash all human beings on the planet were anxious and focused on one thing: that treaty that could finally allow them to breathe a sigh of relief. The signing of the treaty would be broadcast live worldwide. The journalists that Jocelyne had brought with her had already made arrangements with their publishers, which had contacted news and television programs and established contracts for contracts in order to be able to broadcast the event on television. The peace treaty was printed on a huge sheet about ten meters long
The plane on which Jocelyne, Chloe and Jackson were traveling landed in Ingarpest, a town in the Meilong Republic. The journey was not very long, but all three had taken the opportunity to rest seriously.Jocelyne hadn't slept properly for days, some nights she even stayed awake. As soon as she touched the seat of the plane and all her worries vanished, she collapsed into the world of dreams. It didn't take long for Chloe and Jackson to follow her. Only the sound of the speakers telling them to fasten their seat belts for landing woke them up.As soon as the plane landed Jackson and Jocelyne got off. They both shivered because of the difference in temperature: the climate in the Meilong Republic was different from that of Odaria, and although there shouldn't have been more than three or four degrees of difference, the strong wind that blew that day made them notice the difference very much. well.Chloe instead remained on the plane, which left shortly after. Aft
“So, can you please answer me? Who is this Henry Wu?"Jocelyne hated being cut off from the conversation. The six scientists in the room seemed to know what she was talking about, but she didn't know the name at all.In the end, it was Ellie who spoke: "Wu is... an old acquaintance of ours""A troublemaker" Ian grumbled.Jocelyne ignored him. "How do you know him?"“He used to work with Hammond… before Ingen collapsed” Ellie replied.This time the name was by no means alien to Jocelyne. Everyone knew John Hammond, the man who had long been a big shot in finance.“Of course you have never heard of him. Wu's work wasn't known to the public” Ellie explained. “As you surely know, before going bankrupt Ingen was specializing in genetics. Hammond hoped to use DNA from different animals to solve environmental problems. Yes, in short... replace the current nature with one capable of resisting climate
The nations kept their word. As Sobek had predicted, as long as they didn't know more about the mysterious new enemy, they would keep the peace. This was enough for the spinosaurus: the time the humans gave them would allow Sobek to rally his followers, and moreover the humans would help him by delivering all the dinosaurs in their possession!In a way, thinking about it with a clear head, Sobek had agreed that this solution had several advantages. First, it allowed him to exponentially increase the size of his pack, and secondly, it would take away possible hostages from humans.Furthermore, Sobek had in mind to use that time to further evolve. Thanks to his recent actions, his fame points had risen at a breakneck speed; he had far exceeded the billion he needed. This would have granted him not only new abilities, but would have allowed him to unlock the [Anti-aircraft system].Since the humans would use the time available to them to upgrade their arsenal, Sobe
Sobek headed for the newcomers as soon as he was done dealing with the humans. Up to that point it had been Old Li, Buck and Carnopo who had looked after them, but since he was the pack leader, it was appropriate to give them a fair welcome.But as he was approaching he saw himself coming towards Carnopo. "Pack leader, you have to come""Did something happen?"“No, but… you will see it for yourself. The newcomers have... problems "Sobek did not understand. Problems? What was Carnopo talking about? When they got off the ship he had only glimpsed the new dinosaurs, since he was more focused on dealing with humans, but they seemed normal to him. However, as soon as he got to the spot where Old Li, Buck and Carnopo had gathered the newcomers, he realized that things were much more complicated. The dinosaurs actually had no physical injuries… but that didn't mean they were healthy.He realized this simply by observing the first dino
