In the second-floor surveillance room, the doors of each room were wide open, and even the areas that required passwords to enter were unlocked, presenting a completely defenseless state, as if inviting anyone to take what they wanted.
"It seems that after encountering an emergency, everyone here evacuated in a hurry, without doing any cleanup work," Zhao Zhu said as he continued to move forward. "Fortunately, the power supply has been maintained, and the equipment is still operational."
Chen Fei rolled her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Can you use this equipment?"
"Hmm, actually, it's not that difficult. I'm not being asked to design these programs or do any programming. I'm just operating on the existing programs and equipment, searching for some data and information. It's not as hard as you think. As long as you use your brain and your fingers, any normal college student can do it."
Zhao Zhu selected a few options on a control panel and clicked on some additional requirements. A map of Jurassic Park appeared on the screen, with dozens of star markers appearing on it.
"These star markers represent the positions of the Velociraptors... Wait... Hold on... Holy shit, they can't be doing this..." Zhao Zhu suddenly became emotionally agitated, clearly having discovered something that shocked him.
"What's wrong?" Chen Fei asked.
Zhao Zhu pointed to the screen, "Here, this is our location. Now, nearly twenty star markers have already approached this building. No, they've already come inside. We don't need to go looking for them; they've already found us." Zhao Zhu's gaze scanned the area, and then he saw a fire axe hanging on the wall. He took it down and held it in his hand. In just a moment, a Velociraptor's head had already poked in, its eyes fixed on Zhao Zhu and Chen Fei. Soon after, a second, third, and fourth head appeared...
"Why can't just one come? Why do they have to come in a group?" Chen Fei pulled out her belt from her short skirt and flicked it, revealing a steel whip, which was her weapon.
"Velociraptors are pack hunters. It's too difficult to find one that's alone. Unless you have a heavy sniper rifle, you might be able to try headshots from a distance, but now, we need to fight our way out first." Zhao Zhu swung the fire axe and loosened his neck. "Head for the side door on the left. I'll cover you while you go to the side of the door and fiddle with the handle, then come back and close the door! Got it?"
"Okay!" Chen Fei nodded without hesitation. Since Zhao Zhu had decided to stay behind and cover, she had no reason to disagree.
"Hisss..."
Four Velociraptors charged at the two of them. Zhao Zhu, holding the axe, did not retreat but advanced. He kicked the table in front of him, causing it to block the path. The first Velociraptor, due to its high speed, failed to jump over the table and tumbled to the ground, rolling several times. If it were a one-on-one situation, this would have been a good opportunity for Zhao Zhu to finish it off, but the second, third, and fourth Velociraptors were now charging at him from three different directions.
Chen Fei, with her agile legs, moved quickly towards the side door, her speed reaching its peak.
Zhao Zhu had never encountered dinosaurs before, let alone dragons, but as a biological instinct, he knew he couldn't show any fear or hesitation. It was better to face the Velociraptors head-on rather than expose his back to them and run.
He had fought zombies before; dinosaurs might not be any harder!
This was Zhao Zhu's current thought.
Zhao Zhu quickly stepped to the left and swung the axe, striking the head of the Velociraptor coming from the left.
The Velociraptor, like a car that had lost control, was thrown off course by the impact and, unable to stop its momentum, crashed into the Velociraptor coming from behind.
The two Velociraptors collided and fell, unable to get up quickly. Zhao Zhu immediately rolled to the side, dodging the attack of the third Velociraptor and then charged towards the side door where Chen Fei was already waiting.
However, before Zhao Zhu could reach her, she quickly closed the door.
"Click"
The door handle locked. This was a thin metal door, designed more for symbolic than practical purposes, and certainly not to stop dinosaurs. Chen Fei knew that even if the door was closed, it would likely be broken down by the dinosaurs after a few impacts. Therefore, she preferred to let Zhao Zhu stand by the door, giving him more time to escape.
"Open the door! Damn it!"
Teammates, partners, sometimes serve this purpose. Without even a glance at Zhao Zhu, Chen Fei ran down the corridor, completely ignoring him.
Seeing Chen Fei run away, the anxiety and anger on Zhao Zhu's face disappeared. He twirled the axe in his hand, looking calm and composed.
The four Velociraptors, with their thick skin and strong bodies, stood up and launched a new assault on Zhao Zhu.
However, Zhao Zhu looked upwards. Above the control room, there were many colored ribbons and strings, originally used to hang balloons for a party, perhaps to celebrate a staff member's birthday or some other event. The strings had not been removed and were still hanging, which gave Zhao Zhu an opportunity!
With a mental command, when the four Velociraptors were within five meters of Zhao Zhu, all the strings above fell and, under his mental control and mental focus, twisted and knotted. The previously aggressive Velociraptors stumbled and fell, their kinetic energy causing the strings to tighten further. The more they struggled, the tighter the bindings became. Soon, four Velociraptors were tightly bound in front of Zhao Zhu.
Actually, a regular iron cage might not have contained them, but these strings, which bound their entire bodies, prevented them from using their strength, much like how a person suspended in the air finds it hard to exert force.
Zhao Zhu raised the axe again and struck the head of one Velociraptor with great force. The first blow did not break its skull, but after several consecutive strikes, the Velociraptor's head made a cracking sound, and killing it was only a matter of time.
Meanwhile, Chen Fei, who had been running down the corridor, was now sprinting with many obvious injuries, with about a dozen Velociraptors in hot pursuit.
"Damn it, I've been set up!"
Indeed, Zhao Zhu had anticipated Chen Fei's actions and choices. It was simple, putting himself in her shoes. When he saw the map earlier, he clearly saw that the Velociraptors had split into two groups. So, he quickly decided to take on the four, while the other dozen were left to Chen Fei.
Sure enough, Chen Fei had closed the door, taking on a significant portion of the pressure and giving Zhao Zhu enough time to kill one Velociraptor.
"Crack"
The Velociraptor's skull was almost flattened by Zhao Zhu, and it finally stopped moving. In Zhao Zhu's mind, the voice of the group leader sounded:
"Main Task 2 completed. Now issuing Main Task 3:
