Because of its morning's harvest, the Bloodthirsty Vine has grown several more vines. Combined with the three from before, those vines are enough to support its hunting and self-defense. It was expected that it would run away, and its choice to escape rather than attack the passengers can be considered a wise one.
Because the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine was gone, Mo Shuwan and her group's movement speed was greatly reduced. However, they were lucky today. After walking for more than two hours, the group, who were feeling dejected, heard the sound of flowing water.
The passengers, who were already smelling terrible, immediately burst into tears of excitement. "Oh my god, did I hear that right?! It's the sound of running water! It's fresh water!"
Even Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, who had deliberately restrained their true nature in front of the passengers, could no longer hide their emotions, their eyes red with excitement! Fortunately, they still retained their rationality and did not rush forward blindly. They remembered to first check the surrounding situation, but when they saw it clearly, everyone was shocked.
"What's going on? Only a few dinosaurs?"
"There must be something fishy going on when things are not going well." Everyone agreed with Yang Zhou's words; they were no longer the greenhorns who had just arrived in this world.
A hundred meters away from where Mo Shuwan and the others were hiding, there was a small river. Even from a distance, the water looked very clear. Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard, imagining that the river water there was already sweet and thirst-quenching.
Glug—
Ignoring the sounds of passengers swallowing hard, Mo Shuwan turned to look at Wen Zuo and asked in a low voice, "Have you found anything?"
Wen Zuo stepped back from Lie Xing's sights and nodded.
—I saw dinosaur eggs.
"Dinosaur eggs?" Mo Shuwan turned her head in surprise and looked again at the dinosaurs leisurely drinking water a hundred meters away. She couldn't see where the dinosaur eggs were hidden, so she could only ask in a low voice, "Where are they?"
Wen Zuo waved to her.
Mo Shuwan leaned closer, and with Wen Zuo's help adjusting the angle, she finally saw the legendary dinosaur egg. "It's actually in the water?" But upon closer inspection, it looked more like a strangely patterned stone.
At that moment, all the passengers felt a burning sensation on the back of their hands.
Side Quest: Hatching Mutant Dinosaur Eggs
"Captain, we've received a mission: to hatch dinosaur eggs."
Mo Shuwan looked up at Yang Zhou in surprise, then glanced at the other passengers who were staring at her hands. She realized that what she had just seen was indeed a dinosaur egg, and she subconsciously asked, "Is it just for hatching dinosaur eggs?"
"No, it's for hatching mutated dinosaur eggs."
Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo: "..." The two turned to look at Liu Dongcheng.
Liu Dongcheng: "...This is not the place where I take the eggs."
Mo Shuwan coughed lightly, "We've been here for so long and they haven't noticed us, so it shouldn't be a mutated dinosaur. But... how come there are mutated dinosaur eggs in the place where they gather?"
—Maybe that mutated dinosaur hasn't returned yet. We can take this opportunity to kill a few dinosaurs, take the dinosaur eggs, and retreat to a distance to check the situation.
"good."
Mo Shuwan nodded, took out another silenced gun, intending to use it herself, but thinking about her terrible skills, she really couldn't guarantee that she could take down a dinosaur with one shot from a distance of 100 meters. She didn't have many bullets left, and she didn't want to waste any more.
Turning to look at Liu Dongcheng, who had been holding a large knife and hadn't uttered a sound from beginning to end, he asked, "How's your marksmanship?"
Liu Dongcheng realized something, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "I'm better than you."
Mo Shuwan smiled and said, "Okay, then you can do it." She then handed the gun and magazine to Liu Dongcheng.
Liu Dongcheng lowered his eyelids, looking at the gun and bullets in his hand. "Are you sure?"
"Use it without worry. We're a team, and I'm just worried about wasting bullets. If I were a better shot, you wouldn't even get a chance."
Mo Shuwan's light teasing remark made Liu Dongcheng glance at her for a few seconds, but he didn't say anything. He quickly changed the magazine, found a good hiding place for shooting, and raised his hand to make a few gestures.
Mo Shuwan couldn't understand it, and the other passengers couldn't understand it either. Only Wen Zuo, who had just changed guns, understood it and quickly returned a few hand gestures. The two fired almost simultaneously, and two dinosaurs fell down at the same time a hundred meters away. Soon, Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng fired a second shot, and two more dinosaurs fell down.
The crowd was amazed by the two men's marksmanship, but even more shocked that they didn't repeatedly shoot at the same target. It seemed that those incomprehensible hand gestures were key information.
There were five dinosaurs in total. Within a minute, four of them had fallen. The last dinosaur angrily raised its head and roared, its huge body swaying as it tried to find its enemy.
After firing two shots, Wen Zuo gracefully withdrew, handing the final opportunity to Liu Dongcheng to shine, and Liu Dongcheng did not disappoint.
Thud—
"Wow, that's amazing!" the passengers exclaimed.
Liu Dongcheng walked out of his hiding place and paused when he reached Wen Zuo's side. Seeing that Wen Zuo was busy changing his gun, he walked directly past him to Mo Shuwan's side and said, "It's a good gun."
"You're not bad either." As usual, she praised him and put the gun into the storage space.
Since the mutated dinosaur's whereabouts were unknown, for safety's sake, Wen Zuo and the passengers stayed put, while Mo Shuwan went alone to retrieve the dinosaur egg. In any case, the task was to hatch the dinosaur egg, so even if she retrieved it by herself, it wouldn't all be attributed to her.
bite--
Mo Shuwan, who had just picked up a dinosaur egg, paused for a moment, then looked down at her phone screen, where a line of bright red text filled the screen.
Side Quest: Bring Back Dinosaur Eggs (1)
"This... is another quest?" Although she remembered her experience of getting dinosaur eggs but not triggering them last time, Mo Shuwan stopped trying to get more eggs and shouted, "Come here one by one, there's a quest here, come and trigger it."
Upon hearing this, the passengers instinctively stood up and were about to rush over, but Yang Zhou, who had anticipated this, stopped them. "The captain said to go one by one, line up, and wait for the next person to come back before going to the next one."
After so many days of sharing life and death, everyone's rough edges had long been smoothed out. When they heard Yang Zhou say this, no one objected. They obediently lined up, and when Yang Zhou said they could leave, the first passenger in line ran towards Mo Shuwan.
During this time, Wen Zuo, who was holding the Lie Xing, hardly moved. His task was to be vigilant against the mutated dinosaurs that might appear at any time.
"Captain, I'm here!"
"Pick one up."
The passenger obediently retrieved a dinosaur egg from the water, then suddenly looked down and exclaimed, "It's triggered!"
"Okay, let's go back."
Because of the events of that night, five more people were lost out of the eighteen, leaving only thirteen alive. Since everyone was very cooperative, their efficiency was naturally high, and soon only Yang Zhou and Wen Zuo were left to arrive.
Cai Zhongqi picked up a dinosaur egg and shook his head in disappointment, "It didn't trigger."
Mo Shuwan reached out and took his egg, raising her chin slightly. "Take the others too."
