Chapter 2080, Section 2.78: Alien Dinosaur
This is a small detail that Captain Nine-Tailed discovered during the adventure in "Anaconda".
Most of the players who bought in bulk were from the 90s. Therefore, this concept car, which debuted at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show, integrated many cutting-edge technologies of that era. For example, the solar panels covering the roof could provide a long-term and stable power supply for onboard devices. In fact, as long as the engine isn't driven or high-powered appliances aren't used, photovoltaic cells alone are sufficient to power small handheld devices.
This is perhaps the biggest reason why anchor Kelly Hogg and reporter Teri Harper, this golden duo, chose this Mitsubishi Super Great prototype to be converted into a television broadcasting vehicle. And because of its solid foundation, further upgrades and modifications would be quite simple for Captain Nine-Tailed.
However, Wu Chen didn't let Captain Nine-Tailed interfere. Instead, he allowed the broadcast van to retain its unique era-specific features, as well as the "survival modifications" spontaneously made by the characters after arriving at the survivor camp. These modifications included front and rear anti-collision armor, blast-proof wire mesh windows, self-inflating off-road tires, and a turbocharged engine, among other things.
Traversing the undulating dense forest, Captain Nine-Tailed Fox and the Chen sisters, activating their optical camouflage, searched the terrain and landforms along the way to construct holographic digital environmental images.
"Wow..." With her keen professional insight, anchor Kelly Hogg was the first to notice something unusual: "Look, what's that?"
"It looks like a dinosaur egg." After a deep scan, Captain Nine-Tailed also detected a faint life signal that was almost blending into the surrounding environment.
"Why don't we go take a look?" suggested Terri Harper, a female reporter who was focused on driving.
"Alright." Captain Nine-Tailed instructed the Chen sisters to scout the scene first.
"Captain, it's definitely a hatching dinosaur egg." The Chen sisters scanned it more closely and obtained more accurate data.
"Can you identify the species of dinosaur?" Captain Nine-Tailed continued to communicate via the team channel.
"No known entries were matched." The Chen sisters also found it unbelievable. Although it was just a simple onboard database, there shouldn't have been any omissions for such a simple entry as "dinosaur species".
"It's very likely a gene-edited variant." Wu Chen, who witnessed everything through the female warrior's "eyes and ears," thought of a possibility: "Collect data and create a variant entry."
"Yes, my lord." The Chen sisters immediately took action.
"My lord, an abnormality in embryonic development has been detected." Upon receiving the message from the Chen sisters, Wu Chen's fleeting True Sight instantly pierced through the thick eggshell, revealing the truth about the rapidly developing dinosaur embryo: "This is... a Dilophosaurus?"
Dilophosaurus first appeared in Jurassic Park 1. It was a carnivorous dinosaur that was 3 meters long. It had colorful, umbrella-like structures on both sides of its head that could open, and it could also spray venom when hunting. It was an excellent pack hunter.
However, as the embryo rapidly developed, its ever-evolving aura structure drifted further and further away from the true Dilophosaurus.
Until it hatches.
Wu Chen then switched back to the Chen sisters' normal perspective.
The young dragon, enveloped in black water, still resembled a Dilophosaurus. However, the moment Wu Chen saw the black water, his memories of the story were immediately activated.
At the same time, the newborn dragon suddenly opened its eyes. The instant it looked at the Chen sisters, the umbrella-like structures on either side of its head struggled to open. Before its simultaneously opening jaws could even catch a nascent roar, a dark shadow burst forth!
"Internal tusks!" Wu Chen's whole body stiffened: "They're alien dinosaurs!"
Fortunately, the alien's "mouth within a mouth" didn't grow to its full length, allowing the Chen sisters to easily dodge it. "My lord, it's *Alien*, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's the Xenomorph, which is known as the 'perfect creature in the universe'."
The Alien, also known as the Xenomorph, officially named Xenomorph XX121, originated from the "Blackwater," a biological weapon developed by the alien civilization "Engineers." It completes its life cycle by parasitizing a host: the facehugger implants an embryo into the host, which matures and bursts forth, eventually evolving into an adult Xenomorph. Its genes possess the ability to "optimize and select DNA," absorbing superior genes from the host to evolve into different forms, including the Xenomorph Queen who controls the herd. Because the Predators used it as a trial biological weapon, variants such as the Predator Xenomorph and the Royal Guard emerged.
"Someone brought it into Jurassic World and parasitized it inside a dinosaur!" Captain Nine-Tailed, who rushed to the scene, immediately noticed the anomaly in the plot: "According to the Master's explanation that 'the facehugger implants the embryo into the host's body, and after the chest-bursting body matures, it bursts out of the body and eventually evolves into an adult Xenomorph,' shouldn't it burst out of the body? How could it hatch from an egg!"
“Perhaps this is the detail we’ve all overlooked.” Wu Chen had already thought of it: “Because of its ‘DNA optimization selection,’ the hosts that the Xenomorph parasitizes are all, without exception, higher organisms like humans or Predators. It has never parasitized a species like a dinosaur. According to known biological classifications, dinosaurs were terrestrial reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era (approximately 2.3 million to 6600 million years ago). Perhaps it is precisely this difference in species that led the Xenomorph to ‘optimize its DNA’ by laying eggs and hatching.”
"My God..." By the time Captain Nine-Tailed arrived at the scene, an entire wall of alien dinosaur eggs had hatched. Everyone then realized that the entire massive rock formation was covered in alien dinosaur eggs, which was why it had blended into its surroundings. It looked like a densely packed mass of apple snail eggs magnified countless times!
Moreover, it was a giant silver-black egg with an surface covered in indescribable wrinkles and spots!
News anchor Kelly Hogg, who witnessed everything on the monitor, instantly triggered her trypophobia: "Watch out, they're starving!"
"We're not sure if it's contagious." Wu Chen immediately reminded the female soldier, "Make sure you don't get any of that black water on yourself."
"Yes, ma'am." Faced with a large group of alien baby dragons struggling to stand up, approaching step by step and becoming more and more stable, the Chen sisters, who were in their 15-foot-tall King Kong form, immediately transformed their arms into "vortex (sonic) cannons".
This is the directional sonic weapon that comes with the Whirlpool Fox.
Sensing the danger, the alien baby dragon reflexively avoided the direction of the cannon muzzle.
"How did they find us?" Keep in mind that the three of them had activated optical camouflage.
“Classical Xenomorphs do not have eyes. Instead, they rely on sensory organs of various types, such as thermal sensors, sonar organs, or electromagnetic sensors, to perceive changes in light, temperature, sound, or magnetic fields in their surroundings. This is what is known as ‘biological radar.’ Perhaps they have even evolved a sixth sense to sense danger.”
"I see." Just as the alien dragon pounced, the Chen sisters raised their hands and fired a shot.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz—" The vortex cannon roared and smashed the alien dragon horde along with the entire rock face behind them!
As the directional sound waves continued to expand outwards, the splattered liquid was blasted far away. None of the three female warriors were touched.
Before the sonic boom subsided, a piercing scream suddenly rang out.
It is the mother beast that sensed the slaughter of the alien dragon cubs and is calling for the herd.
"Hurry up!" Captain Nine-Tailed lifted the bumper and forcibly turned the broadcast truck around.
I glanced at the rearview mirror subconsciously and saw that the jungle not far away was in turmoil!
