Chapter 112 Cross-Dimensional Delivery
"Is the script called 'Sadako vs. Dinosaurs'?"
"So the one opposite me... is Sadako?"
Sadako crawled very slowly, her joints making a cracking sound like rusty machinery. She slowly squeezed out of the television screen, her long white dress trailing on the muddy ground, instantly turning a dirty gray.
As she stood fully on the grass, the noisy chirping of cicadas and birdsong around her fell silent in an instant.
"roar!"
Big Lu roared instinctively.
The tiny white figure slowly raised its head, revealing a bloodshot eye through its dark, messy hair.
"Buzz—"
An invisible mental shockwave instantly crashed into Da Lu's brain.
"Awooo—!"
Da Lu shook its enormous head in agony, its several-ton body staggering backward and crashing into a large tree.
pain!It hurts so much!
The Tyrannosaurus Rex's prized bite force and thick hide are utterly useless against supernatural attacks. It's like driving a heavy tank into a cloud of smoke—you have no way to use your strength.
"Damn it, how am I supposed to fight this?"
Da Lu felt bitter inside.
He tried to raise his pitiful little arms to protect his head, but this was simply impossible for a Tyrannosaurus Rex's physiology.
Sadako has started moving.
She drifted and swayed as she approached Da Lu.
As she approached, Da Lu felt his limbs begin to feel heavy, an amplified version of sleep paralysis – "Dragon Paralysis".
Its massive body was bound by an invisible force, and every movement required a tremendous amount of physical strength.
"Don't come any closer, sister! I don't eat raw meat!" Da Lu cried out inwardly, but could only let out a threatening roar.
He swung his tail violently, whipping it towards Sadako with a whooshing sound.
The thick tail passed through Sadako's body as if it had been pulled into thin air.
Physical attacks are ineffective.
Enraged by this action, Sadako's hair suddenly grew wildly, like black venomous snakes, and instantly coiled around Da Lu's ankles and knees.
The icy, bone-chilling resentment seeped into the gaps between the scales.
"boom!"
Da Lu lost his balance and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of mud and water.
He kicked desperately, trying to break free, but the hair, though seemingly thin, was stronger than a steel cable.
Sadako floated to the front of Da Lu's enormous head, stretched out her pale hand, and pointed directly at Da Lu's eyes.
"Oh no, I'm going to become a one-eyed monster."
Da Lu closed his eyes in despair, awaiting the onset of excruciating pain.
……
Meanwhile, in orbit around the abandoned satellite "47," light-years away from this primeval jungle.
A dilapidated spaceship, seemingly welded together from scrap metal, floats alone in the tranquil space.
Inside the spacecraft, the dim emergency lights flickered.
Chen Hua sat in front of the grease-stained control panel, his fingers flying across the keyboard.
"Manager, we're still far from meeting the targets."
Ye Jianguo sat on the medical chair next to him, using a simple hemostatic spray to treat the wound on his leg.
"That last wave was too dangerous."
Ye Jianguo's lips twitched in pain, but his tone remained calm. "According to the spaceship's blueprint, the half-fish monster is just at the bottom of the food chain here. If we want to complete our quota of 3000, we must go deeper into the facility; there are definitely more terrifying things there."
"Can you still move your legs?" Chen Hua stopped what he was doing and turned to look at his old partner.
"We can barely move, but we need equipment. With just a shovel, we might not be able to come back next time."
Chen Hua nodded and turned his gaze to the store interface on the screen.
Current balance: 45 yuan
"45 yuan..." Chen Hua gritted his teeth. "I can't afford a stun gun, I can't afford a teleporter, and I can't even afford a decent walkie-talkie upgrade."
Her gaze moved down the list and finally settled on a line of small print.
[Stun Grenade: 40 yuan]
[Description: A single-use projectile that produces a bright flash and loud bang upon explosion, causing most creatures to be temporarily blinded or stunned for 5 seconds.]
"This is the only one I can buy."
"purchase."
Chen Hua took a deep breath and pressed the Enter key.
Order confirmed.
[Airdrop being arranged...]
Estimated arrival time: 01:00
Cheerful yet eerie music played outside the spaceship.
"They're here."
Chen Hua looked out the window.
Through the thick bulletproof glass, a point of light can be seen rapidly magnifying in the depths of space.
The red and white rocket-shaped drop pod spewed blue flames from its tail as it crashed toward the surface of the satellite where the spacecraft was located.
However, just as the airdrop capsule was about to pass through the atmosphere, an unexpected change occurred.
"Buzz—"
The space suddenly trembled.
It's like a butterfly flapping its wings.
The supply pod, which should have landed precisely on the open ground next to the spaceship, was affected by this spatial ripple, causing the navigation system to instantly go red.
[WARNING! Coordinate offset!]
[Warning! Spatial rift detected!]
Under Chen Hua's astonished gaze, the supply pod, accompanied by cheerful music, "passed" directly through the surface of the satellite.
Yes, we went through it.
The moment it touched the ground, it rippled as if it had fallen into water, then vanished without a trace.
"This..." Chen Hua stood up, his hands gripping the control panel, his face grim. "Where are our goods?"
"It looks like... it fell into the ground?" Ye Jianguo was also stunned.
Forty yuan is a huge sum of money for them now; it's a lifeline.
"I'm going to file a complaint against this lousy company!" Chen Hua angrily slammed his fist on the keyboard.
……
Da Lu closed his eyes tightly, awaiting the judgment of fate.
Sadako's fingernails were less than a centimeter away from his eyeballs, and the chilling air made him feel as if his eyeballs were about to freeze.
Suddenly, a very mesmerizing melody drifted from the sky.
"Ding ding ding~ Dong dong~ Ding ding~"
That voice... it sounds so familiar!
Isn't that the sound of the popsicle carts on the street when I was a kid?
"call out--"
A large, red and white metal rocket with a flame-spitting tail tore through the layers of tree canopy, carrying broken branches and leaves and splinters of wood as it crashed straight down.
The target point—is right between Dairo and Sadako!
"Holy crap? Justice from the sky?"
"Boom!"
The supply pod slammed heavily into the mud, the massive impact creating a wave of mud that sent Sadako, who was floating in mid-air, flying backwards.
A significant amount of hair wrapped around Da Lu's leg was also torn off.
The supply pod landed and stood firmly in the ground, playing cheerful music.
"Ding-dong~"
The hatch opened automatically, revealing a lone silver cylindrical object lying inside.
Sadako, covered in mud, looked even more disheveled and angry.
She floated up from the ground, her resentful gaze fixed on the iron lump that had fallen from the sky. She reached out, wanting to crush this ungrateful intruder with her telekinetic power.
But Da Lu saw that thing clearly.
"A flashbang?!"
Then, he buried the enormous dragon head firmly into the ground.
Sadako's telekinesis touched the pull pin of the flashbang.
"Click".
The pull ring flew away.
Sadako tilted her head and leaned closer, seemingly trying to see what kind of resentment was inside the shiny little tin can.
next second.
"Bang!!!"
A burst of white light, ten thousand times more dazzling than the midday sun, suddenly erupted in this dark forest.
Not only was there light, but there was also a deafening roar that could shatter eardrums.
"Aaaaaahh ...
A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky, but the sound was quickly drowned out by the buzzing in the ears.
The intense light, like sharp swords, pierced through Sadako's barrier of resentment and scorched her spirit.
Her figure trembled violently in the white light, and her originally solid ghostly body became transparent and distorted.
Although Da Lu had his eyes closed and his head buried, he still felt a buzzing in his head.
He forced himself to look up, despite feeling dizzy.
The suffocating sense of oppression disappeared.
Sadako's figure became extremely faint, almost unable to maintain its form.
Before she could even catch her breath, a giant dinosaur foot had already fallen from the sky.
"boom!"
Da Lu stepped on Sadako's hair that was scattered on the ground, then turned around.
The tail lashed out with a whooshing sound, striking Sadako squarely.
This time, there was no penetration, just a real, visceral impact.
Sadako was knocked away again. This time, she couldn't get up. Instead, she turned into a wisp of smoke and awkwardly crawled back into the television set.
"Sizzle..."
The TV screen flickered twice and then went completely black.
Won!
Da Lu, panting heavily, looked at the smoking television set, his heart filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.
He turned his head and looked at the red and white airdrop pod, which was still playing cheerful music.
Although he didn't know which lucky angel had sent this assist, Da Lu swore that if he had the chance, he would definitely treat the other party to a good meal, a buffet, the kind where you eat until you're stuffed!
……
The orbit of satellite "47".
Ye Jianguo and Chen Hua stared blankly at the empty ground.
"It's gone." Chen Hua sighed and slumped into a chair. "40 yuan, all gone."
"Never mind." Ye Jianguo patted her shoulder. "Maybe... it's fallen into the hands of someone who needs it more."
"You actually believe that kind of nonsense?" Chen Hua rolled his eyes. "What kind of coincidence is that?"
Ye Jianguo smiled and did not refute.
Looking out at the dark space, he felt a strange sense of anxiety about losing supplies, which inexplicably lessened.
"Let's go, supervisor."
Ye Jianguo put his helmet back on, picked up the somewhat dull shovel, and said, "Since it's useless now, I can only rely on this old bone to fight it out."
"We still have targets to meet."
……
Lu Dan is currently facing the biggest crisis since the start of the story.
Having lost their sight, they find themselves in an ever-expanding dark space, with an unseen monster lurking in the shadows.
"B chose the light."
"C has lost his sight."
The electronic sound was still echoing.
Lu Dan's finger rested lightly on the trigger of the revolver, his body rising and falling slightly with his breathing, trying to minimize his presence.
Although he couldn't see it, he could sense that as the elevator rose, the monsters, whose attention had been diverted by the ventriloquism, returned to this side.
"It's my turn to choose..."
Lu Dan silently recited in his heart.
He didn't rush to touch anything on the lifting platform because he knew it was a trap.
B's choice led to his loss of sight.
So, whose fate will his choice determine?
Or perhaps, this is not a one-way transmission at all, but a closed-loop curse.
Lu Dan slowly squatted down, stretched out his left hand, and groped forward little by little in the darkness.
My fingertips touched the cold metal countertop.
He touched two objects.
On the left is something with a rough surface and a warm touch, irregularly shaped, and still pulsating slightly.
It looks like a...heart?
On the right is a cold, smooth, metallic object with sharp edges.
a knife.
【C, please select.】
[Left side: Swallow this "true heart," and you will regain your sight, but you will hear the most vicious voices in everyone's heart.]
[Right side: Pick up this "butcher's knife," and you can kill the monsters in the room, but you must sacrifice one of your fingers.]
It restores vision, but it will be mentally corrupted.
To gain power, but to harm oneself.
"Only children make choices."
Lu Dan's fingers hovered between two things.
His current predicament is that a monster is beside him, and he cannot see it.
It seems that you must choose the right side to save your life, or the left side to restore your vision and escape.
But he refused.
His hand grazed his heart, and it grazed the knife.
He grabbed the edge of the elevator.
"What if I flip this platform over?"
Since you came from underground, there must be a path down there.
Rather than being led by the nose by the rules, Lu Dan prefers to go and see what the person who made the rules—or the ghost—actually looks like.
The elevator platform let out a mournful cry of despair as the recovery mechanism was forcibly interrupted by external force, and began to vibrate violently.
At the same time, the monster lurking in the darkness also noticed its prey's frenzied actions, let out a sharp screech, and pounced towards the elevator platform.
The wind rises.
Lu Dan, using the sound to pinpoint the location, instantly raised his revolver and, without hesitation, pulled the trigger in the direction from which the sound came.
"Bang!"
Gunfire erupted in the darkness, briefly illuminating a distorted, featureless face.
