Nightmare Arcade: Start with Dinosaur Kombat

"Why? I don't understand. Isn't it better for you researchers and explorers to just stay in the comfortable offices of Sea City? Why do you have to come to this dangerous green hell? Don't you think there are not enough people dying?"

Even Jack, who had always been mild-tempered, couldn't help but get angry.

The professor stood up tremblingly:

"For the future of mankind, it is necessary for us as explorers to go out again and understand the current era and this strange world."

"I will never forget my father who never saw the sun or stars in his life. Now we have the opportunity to return to the ground again, with our feet on the earth and the stars above our heads. But can we really sit back and relax now?"

"Humanity has been struggling in the dark underground for six hundred years and has exhausted its resources. Who can guarantee that the next natural disaster will strike and we will become extinct?"

Faced with the professor's question, Jack did not answer. He was silent for a while before speaking: "What are you looking for?"

Several students behind the old professor looked at each other, and finally someone said: "The ruins, to be precise, are the Academy of Genetic Paleontology that existed before the catastrophe."

"If we can find it, we might be able to figure out why the world will be what it is today 600 years later."

"Maybe we can also find a new future for human development there."

Next to him, Max held his chin with his big hand: "I'm sorry to interrupt you."

"More than 600 years have passed since the great catastrophe. Even if there is the Institute of Paleontology you mentioned here, can anything really be preserved after the great flood 600 years ago?"

"Okay!" The old professor became excited.

"As a research institution at the same level as the Antarctic Ark Project, the Institute of Paleontology has been established longer than the underground city. It has a complete sealing system and a large nuclear reactor that can maintain the institute's energy power for thousands of years."

"According to some information I have obtained, paleontology is everywhere in the New World today, and it may be directly or indirectly related to the institute."

The professor stared at Jack with burning eyes: "So, Mr. Jack, do you still think that everything I am pursuing is worthless? No, it is something worth pursuing with our lives as explorers."

"I have been preparing for this operation for a year. I can't just back down. Do you understand?"

Jack closed his eyes slightly and calmed down completely.

"Okay, I promise you that I will ensure your safety before entering Area D of the oasis, but at the entrance of Area D, you need to find the next way by yourself, because we have more important things to deal with."

Upon hearing this, both the old professor and his students bowed deeply to Jack.

"Captain, the Institute of Paleontology that the professor mentioned should be able to help us understand the true truth of this world. It's obvious that someone is hiding something from us." Shenji said in an indifferent tone.

Su Luo glanced at Caiyin not far away with her peripheral vision. She seemed to have noticed Su Luo's gaze and subconsciously dodge her eyes.

"This does not conflict with our goals. After all, everyone who comes here has a secret."

Su Luo didn't specifically avoid others when she said this. Many people couldn't help but remain silent when they heard this.

……

After the team advanced for about tens of kilometers, the sky gradually became darker.

After completely leaving the battle area, the team began to set up camp.

The green jungle is bigger than everyone thinks.

Various dangers emerged one after another. Except for the warriors who had been injected with dinosaur serum and could still maintain their physical strength, the professors, students and some researchers who followed them had begun to be unable to hold on.

As a last resort, Jack chose to stop progressing in this dangerous jungle.

"It feels like I have to carry a lot of fuel bottles with me! This task is really not easy to worry about." Yue muttered to herself along the way.

"Golden tasks always have various restrictions and limitations, which test not only our strength, but also our wisdom."

Su Luo sat in front of the bonfire, throwing in a branch from time to time, and the crackling flame ignited, illuminating the darkness.

In the wilderness night, flame is the protector of human beings, which can keep some dangers hidden in the darkness away from them.

However, it is also easy to attract various dangerous large dinosaurs, so the camp was deliberately chosen near a broken cliff.

Yue Ben wanted to enjoy the barbecue, but Su Luo stopped him: "Let's eat some dried meat. The smell of barbecue will probably attract dinosaurs within a radius of dozens of miles."

Although Yue himself didn't care, he didn't want to bring danger to the team because of himself.

"Captain Dashan, I have something to talk to you about."

Cai Yin's voice sounded on the communicator.

"I'll come as soon as I go!" Su Luo greeted Shenji and Yue.

"Captain!" Shenji called him.

"Don't make any promises to her easily."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid!" Su Luo left, rubbing Shenji's ball head into a chicken nest.

Near the camp cordon, Su Luo met Cai Yin.

"Do you have something to say?"

Caiyin hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind and said, "Actually, I hid something from you before."

"Is it about the ruins?"

"Yes, actually this is a hidden mission, and it can only be triggered in the second act of Dino Kombat."

"What hidden mission?"

"The ultimate secret about the world of Dino Kombat. If you complete this hidden mission, you have a chance to get the key to enter the eighth level of Dino Kombat."

Hearing this, Su Luo's expression became strange.

Why does this plot sound so familiar?

Wasn’t the key to the seventh level of the Knights of the Round Table that the Silver Dragon Guild was so hard to pursue come from a hidden mission?

Does the eighth level of Dinosaur Kombat need some kind of special key to open?

"Captain Dashan? Captain Dashan?"

Caiyin waved her hand in front of his eyes before pulling the distracted Su Luo back.

"Sorry, I got distracted, please continue."

Caiyin had a strange expression. The mountain was not surprised at all when he heard such important news?

Is he pretending? Or do you really think it doesn't matter?

However, judging from his attitude, the latter seems more likely.

"Captain Dashan, let me get straight to the point. I want to make a deal with your team."

"What deal?"

"To be honest, with the strength of our team, it is too difficult to clear the golden main mission."

"Not saying there is no chance at all, but the probability of successfully passing the level is estimated to be no more than 30%."

"So our team entered the golden main line mission this time with the intention of failure. Our main goal is to hide the mission."

"If you can complete the hidden mission and get the key, you can rely on the power of the Grand Guild to trade with them and gain hope of clearing the level."

Su Luo looked into her slightly tired eyes: "So, why did you change your attention temporarily? Is it just because the intelligence was leaked?"

"No, I think that if I cooperate with you, the chance of completing the golden main quest will be greatly improved."

"If you agree to this deal, I am willing to tell you all the news about the hidden mission."

Su Luo did not answer, but began to think deeply.
