Jurassic Descent: I Can Evolve in My Dreams - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Mysterious Disappearance

Mankiw’s voice was colder than usual. “Impossible. It is an inviolable order. We must go to Mount Roman.”

“If we can’t complete the mission, we cannot go back. The same goes for you!”

Haman didn’t say anything, but he couldn’t believe everything he said. It was just a mission. It wasn’t worth risking his life for.

There must be other reasons.

.

Haman had seen many such things in the market town.

There was a time when the mine was hazardous. It would collapse every few days.

If they did not work, they would starve to death.

But if they worked, they would die in the mine.

During that time, almost no one went to the mine.

Even the refugees knew that as long as they did not die, there would be a future.

After all, less than one-tenth of those who didn’t go to the mine starved to death.

People had great potential. They could always struggle to live unexpectedly.

Seeing that there was no way to turn back, Cole said to Haman, “Put Yuri’s backpack on and go to the front.”

“Since you said you didn’t lead the wrong way, then you should face the danger.”

At this time, Cole couldn’t care about Haman stealing the biscuits. After all, no one wanted to die.

And compared to eating some biscuits, life and death were more important.

Haman ignored him and walked over to check Yuri’s injury.

He used the bone knife to cut the bag on Yuri’s neck and found a stinger inside.

Haman was familiar with this stinger because it was an ordinary wasp stinger.

But the stinger was too big.

It was as long as his finger.

Proportionately, the wasp that had poisoned Yuri should have been as long as Haman’s forearm.

But that was the problem.

Haman hadn’t been paying attention to Yuri, but a wasp as big as this couldn’t fly around without being noticed.

With his back to the group, Haman swept the stinger to the ground.

Because he didn’t want others to know how Yuri died, the atmosphere in the group became more and more strange. Sometimes, it was more beneficial to make the group fear the wilderness.

At least, they wouldn’t take the wilderness lightly like in the beginning.

Haman never thought of himself as a good person, and he had no obligation to tell everyone everything. His survival was the most important.

Then he carefully checked the backpack and made sure there were no remaining poisonous insects on it before he put it on.

According to his deduction, the wasps should have hidden inside the tree trunk, and Yuri had hit the tree trunk.

The wasps were so anxious that they stuck their stinger into Yuri’s neck.

But they didn’t expect the wasps’ stinger to be so deadly now!

Was it the swelling of his neck that made him unable to breathe?

No, no, no, no, no!

If it were suffocation, he wouldn’t have died in more than ten seconds.

Moreover, Yuri’s face was still blue and purple.

Now it seemed that it could only be the problem of bee venom.

Haman had been stung by Hornets before, but his head was only swollen two times.

Of course, it was only a hornet the size of a pinky finger.

There were more and more dangerous things in the wilderness.

Sometimes, Haman felt conflicted. On the one hand, he wanted to know the secrets of the wilderness. On the other hand, he knew that curiosity was a fatal mistake in nature.

The shadow of death shrouded the entire team, while Haman was the easiest person.

Cole looked at Yuri’s wound and could only see that a poisonous bug had caused it.

However, there was no trace of that poisonous bug. No one saw it at all, which was the scariest thing.

It was not scary to find a bug at home, but the most difficult thing was that the bug disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mankiw also came to check Yuri’s wound, and he also frowned.

Only Haman knew that Yuri had only been stung by a hornet.

“What about Yuri’s body? We can’t just leave him in the wilderness, can we?” Someone asked.

“Then what should we do?” Cole had intended to leave Yuri here. It would take time to bury him, but he didn’t want to stay in this damn place for even a second longer.

However, Mankiw said, “Cole, carry Yuri and leave this place first. We’ll find a suitable place to bury him.”

As the team leader, if Mankiw said he would leave Yuri here, it would destabilise the team.

Who would be willing to be left in the wilderness after death?

When that time came, the originally lousy team would instantly become scattered.

When Cole heard Mankiw’s words, he could only helplessly carry Yuri’s body.

Haman was eating cookies as he walked, but he was always paying attention to his surroundings.

He was trying to maintain his strength and start running away at any time.

Fortunately, they were so lucky again.

They walked to a barren mountain without any danger.

They really couldn’t find any suitable place to camp, so they could only manage on the barren mountain in the evening.

Fortunately, although there were more poisonous insects in this place, there were no large beasts.

Moreover, the field of vision was vast, so there was no need to worry about a sudden attack.

There was a large amount of insect repellent in the backpack.

They sprinkled around the camp, and many insects escaped from the barren mountain like a wave.

No one was in the mood to brag today, and they were all silent.

The following day, Haman did not look for food.

After all, he had been eating biscuits slowly but continuously since noon yesterday.

This time, he finished six-packs.

He was indeed a little stuffed.

But now, if he started to flee, Haman was confident that he would not eat or sleep for two days and two nights until it was safe.

At that moment, Haman heard a scream. He suddenly turned around and looked. It was the place where Yuri’s body was placed yesterday.

A soldier shouted, “Where is Yuri’s body? Who saw his body?”

Cole said in shock, “Wasn’t it placed there?”

“The body is gone!”

This time, even Haman felt numb on his scalp.

“What is going on? The body was left in the camp. How could it be gone?”

Yuri was a tall man. Haman estimated his weight to be nearly 90 kilograms.

If a beast or dinosaur dragged the body away, it couldn’t leave any traces and not make any noise.

There were so many people present. Someone was even arranged to keep watch yesterday. How could they not hear anything?

Moreover, Haman had not entered a deep sleep this time, so he would be able to hear the slightest movement.

At this moment, he recalled the food residue that they had lost the night before.

At that time, he suspected that it was the ants that had taken it away, but this time, it could not be the ants, right?

No matter how much the ant evolved, it could not carry away such a giant corpse without making any movements!

This time, the terrifying atmosphere completely enveloped everyone’s heads.

“Captain, why don’t we go back?” Cole looked on the verge of collapse.

“Cole, you also know that if we can’t complete this mission, we can only become refugees, so let’s continue!” Mankiw comforted him.

Haman was also a little confused. He did not expect that after they entered the wilderness two days later.

The most significant danger was not the dinosaurs?
