Chapter 387: Herbivorous Dragon Siege Event
Bazett and Mina were naturally the ones responsible for the lab's security.
Although they were the servant units of Cheng Tian and Eileen respectively, and had no prior interaction, the combination of a melee guard and a ranged archer proved to be surprisingly harmonious.
Against humans, Mina's arrows were almost unerringly accurate. Her seemingly casual drawing of the bow and firing of arrows displayed astonishing attack speed, easily suppressing even the firearms of her opponents. Countless gun barrels were precisely pierced by her arrows, and any gun that wasn't dropped in time when the trigger was pulled would explode, sending fragments flying into their owners' faces.
But compared to Mina's rapid fire and precision, what Bazett displayed was even more terrifying. Despite her slender build, she possessed powerful wrist strength akin to a Tyrannosaurus Rex. This made them realize for the first time that a person could truly be sent flying by a punch.
The most terrifying part was not just her immense strength, but also her astonishing speed, even reaching the level of blocking bullets with her fists, leaving countless people with their jaws agape.
However, the boss of this small criminal organization, who dared to storm the lab, suffered the most.
He wasn't dead, but he might as well have been.
Only when he realized that most of his subordinates had been dealt with did he belatedly try to escape by car.
But, despite flooring the accelerator, the tires smoked, yet the car wouldn't move.
He looked back and saw that it was just one of Bazett's hands gripping the tail wing of his beat-up car. What followed was a demonstration of how rice cakes are made.
Because under the terrifying wrist strength of Bazett, the vehicle that failed to carry its petty boss to safety was hammered into a lump of scrap metal, with the petty boss permanently trapped inside, his screams growing weaker and weaker.
This iron-wrapped-meat lump of scrap metal was conspicuously placed at the lab's entrance, serving as a huge deterrent to other interested individuals and groups.
Meanwhile, the punk-haired Slaes, who had been lingering there, witnessing and recording the entire battle, transmitted these images back to Dr. Fessenden.
Watching the dragon-beast level destructive power caused by the slender female, Fessenden was convinced that the Hammond Lab must have mastered the technology of human-dinosaur gene fusion!
Otherwise, how could this humanoid female Tyrannosaurus Rex be explained!?
Realizing that his technology might no longer be exclusive, Fessenden became somewhat eager to consider exchanging technology with Utan... If Bazett knew that Fessenden had already mistaken her for a human-Tyrannosaurus Rex hybrid, and if she hadn't been disheartened by the blow, her fist would surely land on the doctor's bald spot.
While the humans in the Dragon Hunter Camp reacted in various ways to the emergence of the Hammond Lab, the dinosaur population also underwent changes.
Although the entire super-powered dinosaur population could still only be described as "beasts," when the numbers grew large, some unique individuals would always emerge.
For example, some BOSS units with high combat power, similar to the original Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Or some BOSS units whose brains had evolved, gaining efficient communication with their own kind and the ability to integrate their species for social action.
And the danger of survival is often what most promotes adaptation and evolution in living creatures. In other words, the dinosaurs that still dared to inhabit the swamp jungle area generally had higher combat power and greater intelligence compared to dinosaurs in other uninhabited wildernesses.
High-combat dinosaur BOSSes were mostly solitary large carnivorous dragons, while highly intelligent dinosaur BOSSes, who understood how to form alliances, were usually herbivorous dragons.
Previously, the herbivorous dragon groups had chosen cross-species cooperation due to the bald butcher's hunting of herbivorous dragons. Now, they had learned to keep their distance from humans, using the jungle terrain itself for cover and guerrilla tactics, and had collectively relocated to a position far from humans. They had also initially formed a phenomenon of non-kin mixed habitation among herbivorous and omnivorous dragons.
According to reports, outside the Dragon Hunter Camp in the swamp jungle, some Struthiomimus and Pterosaurs, seemingly acting as "scouts," frequently appeared. These scout dragons hardly engaged in regular hunting and eating, simply observing the human camp from a distance and constantly monitoring the entry and exit of camp vehicles.
In the initial stage, the Dragon Hunters' harvest indeed plummeted to a level where it was difficult to maintain a balance of income and expenditure. However, soon, some ignorant dinosaurs from other areas filled the vacant habitats left by these socialized local dinosaurs.
Having never been neighbors with humans, they had no idea what a terrifying hunting ground this abundant but inexplicably uninhabited area was.
And the dinosaur communities that had already banded together would not easily absorb outside dragons; more often, they would coldly watch these outside dragons being hunted by humans, using the blood of the outside dragons to confirm what new changes had occurred among the Dragon Hunters—
Much like the Dragon Hunters observing the ignorant small gang assaulting the Hammond Innovation Lab.
Perhaps this was the price that had to be paid after gaining high intelligence.
With ignorant outside dragons (respawning dragons) filling the prey vacuum, at least the Dragon Hunter outpost and the Herbivorous Dragon Alliance in the swamp jungle temporarily maintained a peaceful coexistence.
But Cheng Tian and his lab were clearly the rolling oil poured over distinct chili flakes and minced garlic on the same plate, causing both factions to boil over.
Not only did Mina and Bazett have their fill of fighting, but the Mammoth War Elephant and the Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex also had a blast killing.
Outside dinosaurs stormed the lab, with the autonomous mechs, Mammoth War Elephant, and Tyrannosaurus Rex responsible for defense. The bodies of the killed units were directly transported back to the lab, immediately converted into materials, and Utan, who had the second-highest authority in the lab, was directly responsible for the incubation work.
Thus, one neutral dinosaur unit after another, unrelated to local dragons but generally possessing a template of a chieftain or higher, was born from the lab.
These dinosaurs, with pure bloodlines and healthy physiques, naturally attracted surrounding dinosaurs who sniffed their pheromones at a genetic level. Those that chose to forcefully breach the lab's fence were met with righteous retaliation from the Mammoth and Tyrannosaurus Rex.
It was akin to entrapment!
Not only were the naive outside dragons attracted and turned into corpse materials, but even some individuals from the Herbivorous Dragon Alliance, who had been keeping their distance from humans, were driven by instinct to act.
Let alone super-powered dinosaurs that had gained some intellectual evolution, even humans couldn't truly escape the dominance of hormones over their emotions and thoughts.
And this indirectly led to the Herbivorous Dragon Alliance's "mating" behavior evolving into a siege on the Dragon Hunter Camp.
The moment Cheng Tian and Eileen landed, they seamlessly transitioned into a new battlefield.
