Chapter 1: Arriving in the Dinosaur World Section 1
On a hot summer day, a large classroom is full of students taking classes. Although it is hot outside, the air conditioner is cool inside and the facilities are complete, which is a good opportunity for students to study hard. However, at this moment, most of the students in this classroom are sleeping.
If someone must be blamed... He Wei, who was sitting in the first row, thought about it and concluded that it might still be due to the teacher who was giving a lecture on the podium.
The professor, who was about 40 or 50 years old, was looking at the book in his hands through glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. He said to everyone in a soft and hypnotic tone: "Now please... uh, turn to the last chapter... The Historical Exploration of Dinosaurs..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the snoring in the classroom, which was already happening one after another, suddenly became louder.
He Wei sighed softly and obediently turned to the last chapter of the book. Although everyone around her fell asleep, she still listened to the class carefully and took notes. She only heard the old professor say: "I have introduced most types of dinosaurs to you before. Now, I have a question for you students. Do you think dinosaurs are really extinct?"
The only answer he got was snoring.
The old professor was not angry. He lowered his head and said to himself, "Actually, I think that dinosaurs are not extinct. Think about it, they were so powerful. Whether it is height, weight, or attack power, they are hundreds or even thousands of times that of ordinary humans. How could they die because of the meteorite shower that scientists talked about? Someone once inferred that dinosaurs did not become extinct, but evolved into smaller creatures on Earth, such as birds. We have found feathers similar to those of birds on many ancient pterosaurs, which seems to confirm this statement. But, but classmates, I have a bolder guess. Dinosaurs did not become extinct. They did evolve, but they did not evolve into birds, but into humans——"
Before he finished speaking, the bell for the end of get out of class rang. The students who had been sleeping in the classroom suddenly came back to life, quickly packed their bags and walked out.
"Wait a minute, students! Can we finish discussing this question before leaving class? I, I really think that the ancestors of humans may be dinosaurs." The old professor panted on the podium to keep the students who were rushing out, but almost no one was willing to stay and discuss this fantastic question with him. The people in the classroom left quickly, leaving only the old professor and He Wei.
He Wei felt a little sympathetic towards the old professor. He was actually very responsible in class, but he always failed to find the right way to teach, which made the students sleepy. She wanted to go up to him and comfort him, but she didn't know what to say. After struggling for a while, she sighed and planned to leave.
The old professor's voice suddenly sounded behind her, and his tone sounded a little pitiful: "Student, could you please wait a moment? You are the only student in my class who is not asleep..."
He Wei stopped and turned to look at him: "Uh, okay."
The old professor sighed and asked, "I hope you can tell me honestly whether my lectures are very bad?"
"Well, you are speaking very seriously..." How could He Wei dare to be really frank? She could only answer evasively.
"Oh, then why is everyone unwilling to attend my class? I really want to share knowledge about dinosaurs with them... By the way, can you tell me why you chose my course "Dinosaurology", is it because you like dinosaurs?" The old professor looked at He Wei through his glasses, blinking his big, hopeful eyes.
He Wei's face was filled with black lines. She really couldn't bear to tell him that she chose this course just to get credits, and was speechless for a moment.
The old professor suddenly saw the notebook in her hand and asked, "Can I see your notes?"
He Wei nodded and handed him the notebook. The old professor opened it and flipped through it carefully. It was filled with all kinds of knowledge about dinosaurs, including the fierce Tyrannosaurus Rex, the absolute killer pterosaur in the sky, and the cunning and clever Oviraptorosaur...
He couldn't help but take off his heavy glasses, and looked up at He Wei while praising her: "You remember it in great detail, it's really great--"
The words suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the old professor suddenly stared at He Wei in a daze.
"Uh, teacher? What's wrong with you?" He Wei saw him staring at her with unspeakable surprise and joy in his eyes. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you okay?"
"Queen..." The old professor muttered to himself and repeated the word several times before he suddenly came to his senses and shook his head. "It's nothing, nothing. I'm old and have a little Alzheimer's disease. It's nothing. Don't mind it..."
"Oh——" He Wei didn't think much about it, "Then teacher, if you are all right, I will leave first, I have classes later."
The old professor nodded and returned the notebook to her, but when He Wei turned around again, he stopped her: "Wait, respected Wang... uh, classmate, please wait."
He Wei walked back to him again: "Teacher, do you have anything else to say?"
The old professor trembled slightly as he took out a movie ticket from his pocket. "Recently, Jurassic Park has been re-screened in theaters. I am very touched that you took notes so seriously. I will give you this ticket. Go and watch it."
"Uh! Teacher, that's not necessary—"
"You must take it!" The old professor stuffed the movie ticket into He Wei's hand without hesitation, "The time is 8 o'clock tonight, please be sure to go!" Perhaps he realized that his tone was too excited and too strange, so he quickly added, "Well, the teacher knows that his lectures are not good, and there are really too few students who listen as attentively as you do. I am very touched, so please accept this gift."
His tone was sincere and genuine, so He Wei couldn't refuse anymore, so she accepted the movie ticket and bowed to the teacher: "Thank you, teacher, I will, uh - study harder in the future."
The old professor nodded, and before He Wei turned around, he asked in a deep tone: "Do you... do you believe that humans evolved from dinosaurs?"
He Wei was about to answer when the bell rang. The short break was over, so she had to hurriedly say goodbye to the teacher and ran out. The moment she ran out of the classroom, she heard the old professor remind her again behind her: "Remember to go to the movies tonight--"
"Oh, OK!" She turned her head and smiled at him, but suddenly found that the old professor's eyes seemed a little strange. Why... why did his pupils seem to have turned into a vertical shape? !
He Wei shook her head, thinking that she was just seeing things, and without thinking any more, she quickened her pace and ran towards the classroom for the next class.
At this moment, she didn't know that more than five hours later, she would deeply regret why she didn't think carefully when she took the movie ticket.
At 7:30 in the evening, He Wei arrived at the entrance of the cinema. Perhaps because today was the first day that the old movie "Jurassic Park" was re-released after being converted into 3D, the entrance of the cinema was crowded. A large number of science fiction fans were queuing up with dinosaur dolls waiting to buy tickets.
He Wei stood alone in front of the cinema she used to visit frequently, and couldn't help but feel a long-lost sense of desolation - since her parents passed away, her finances had been very tight, and the money from a movie ticket could allow her to buy several meals. Therefore, even though she used to love watching movies, she hadn't been here for a long time.
The movie ticket in her hand itched and scratched her palm. If she didn't go, wouldn't it be a waste of these tens of yuan? Thinking of this, He Wei finally stopped hesitating and decided to relax herself. She took the ticket and walked to the ticket gate. She entered the theater without much trouble.
Her seat was very good, right in the center of the theater, but she gradually felt strange - the movie was scheduled to start at 8 o'clock, but it was already past 7:50, why was she still the only one in the theater?! There were so many people queuing outside to buy tickets, it was impossible for her to be the only one watching such a classic movie?!
Did I walk into the wrong room? He Wei thought so and just as she stood up and tried to walk out, the lights in the entire theater suddenly went out! The sudden darkness startled He Wei. She grabbed the armrest of the seat and tentatively called out in the pitch-black darkness: "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
No one responded, and the theater suddenly became unusually quiet. But just before the lights went out, she could clearly hear the noise coming from outside the door.
He Wei's heart suddenly started beating faster. No matter what happened, she knew she couldn't stay here any longer!
She followed the route she had taken and groped her way to the front door. At this moment, the originally silent theater suddenly shook, and He Wei fell to the ground. Just as she was about to get up, she heard a loud bang!
The theater shook again with the loud noise, as if something was hitting the wall outside, and the frequency and force of the collision became more and more frequent. Finally, with the last extremely violent collision sound, the wall of the theater was broken, revealing a huge hole more than ten meters high, and the dazzling sunlight shone in -
He Wei's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells. It was clearly night time, how could there be sunlight? !
But what shocked her was yet to come - she saw a giant animal at least eight or nine meters tall, with sharp teeth and fierce eyes, standing next to the hole in the wall, panting. It waved its thick tail angrily, raised its head and let out a roar that was more shocking than that of lions, tigers and other beasts: "Cheng Yalun, if you have the guts, don't hide!"
Dinosaur?! This was the first reaction that popped into He Wei's mind after seeing this giant creature.
Dinosaurs talking?! — This was her second, even more astonishing reaction.
Was she hallucinating, or had the movie already started? The 3D effect was too realistic? But… but even if this was a movie, those ferocious dinosaurs in Jurassic Park couldn't possibly speak human language!
He Wei collapsed on the ground in a daze, completely shocked by the scene before her. She could only stretch out her trembling hands and slap her face continuously - Wake up, wake up, He Wei, you must be dreaming now!
While she was torturing herself, the giant dinosaur that was originally panting suddenly turned its head, looked at He Wei with its sharp eyes, opened its bloody mouth, and asked in a arrogant tone: "Hey! Have you seen Cheng Yalun?!"
He Wei trembled all over and spoke! This guy who looked like a Tyrannosaurus Rex spoke again! And he was talking to himself! He must be dreaming, right! She simply stretched out her two hands and began to greet her innocent face in turn.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the huge dinosaur lowered its head and came in, crushing the seats in the first few rows of the theater with one foot: "Hey, speak up, I'm asking you a question!"
As soon as it finished speaking, another boy's cold voice suddenly came from the dark corner of the theater: "I'm here——"
A silver light flashed before He Wei's eyes, and then the giant dinosaur let out a painful roar, fell to the ground with a "bang", bared its fangs and roared: "You actually sneak attacked me!"
The owner of the cold voice walked out from the shadows, holding a long sword in his hand. The silver light on the sword matched his long silver hair, and he was wearing brown armor. He walked in front of the dragon with an indifferent expression, and said with a little contempt: "This is called tactics. You are too stupid."
