The Rainstorm is Coming!

Sun Cheng raised his hand to shield his eyes and looked up at the still sunny sky. If it weren't for Safeguard finding weather alerts from several neighboring countries on the internet, he would have doubted how a clear day like this could be followed by a storm in a few hours.

"Mr. Sun Cheng, how was your meeting with Dr. Hammond this morning?"

A crisp and charming female voice suddenly came from behind, redirecting his slightly distracted attention from some boring thoughts.

"No progress..." Sun Cheng forced a stiff smile and shook his head while raising the camera in his hand. He took several pictures of a nearby Triceratops by pressing the shutter. "I need something to convince the company's executives. Obviously, Dr. Hammond made good progress last night..."

Last night, it seemed that all the venture capitalists except him went to see Hammond. As a result, during the candid discussion on financing terms this morning, Sun Cheng clearly noticed that the requirements set by International Genetic Technologies had not only increased, but they had also started to impose entry barriers.

Sun Cheng was not an investor in the first place. After a brief meeting with Dr. Hammond this morning, although he managed to deceive him with his eloquence, he keenly sensed that he might have ended up on Hammond's blacklist and become the first one to be "eliminated."

However, he didn't care about that. Sun Cheng's original purpose for coming to Nublar Island was to investigate "Jurassic Park." Now, he only had some thoughts about the amber on Hammond's cane. If Hammond decided to kick him out without any courtesy, Sun Cheng would definitely make sure to get his hands on the amber and the valuable data from the research center before leaving.

Moreover, he had more pressing things to figure out now!

Who sent the mysterious invitation to him?

During the meeting with Hammond in the morning, Sun Cheng subtly hinted at some ominous signs. Although he still couldn't determine what exactly was on Hammond's mind, he was afraid that Hammond had started to suspect his identity.

But more than that, he had even more worrying things on his mind.

Last night, another unknown world called "Predator" absurdly merged into the real world.

A single "Jurassic Park" had given rise to a terrifying company in the real world, capable of resurrecting dinosaurs from millions of years ago.

Just the name "Predator" sent a chill down Sun Cheng's spine. He vaguely felt that it was not a good place. If it turned out to be a terrifying world with mechanical life like Decepticons and Autobots, he would be in trouble!

After countless thoughts churned in his mind, Sun Cheng finally remembered that there was someone next to him. He quickly suppressed the complex thoughts and looked at Ada Wong, asking, "Miss Ada, how is your progress with Atlas?"

He had a good impression of this capable and beautiful woman in front of him, but he was also somewhat wary.

It was not that Sun Cheng was overly suspicious, but although he had limited contact with Ada Wong, her demonstrated competence and shrewdness made him unable to figure out why she chose to collaborate with him instead of teaming up with the giants like Redwood.

And that strange crystal hanging around her neck, which inexplicably sparked his interest, gave him a similar eerie feeling to the amber he experienced with Dr. Hammond. That's why Sun Cheng couldn't help but develop some thoughts about Ada Wong.

"Dr. Hammond's conditions have already exceeded the bottom line that our Atlas can accept. It seems that I'm out..." Ada Wong glanced at the people nearby who were observing the Triceratops at close range, but her smile remained unchanged. "I just heard a notification from the control center. A storm is approaching in a few hours. International Genetic Technologies has already started evacuating the island's staff in batches. Have you decided to stay or leave?"

Sun Cheng was aware of the approaching storm notification. It was because he had listened to the island's announcement that he asked Safeguard to check the external weather alerts, making him more informed than others.

"Naturally, I will stay..."

He replied without hesitation, his attitude resolute.

Dr. Hammond would not leave because there had to be someone on the island to guard it. After all, International Genetic Technologies had released the dinosaurs to roam freely. They even foolishly bred carnivorous dinosaurs like Velociraptors and Tyrannosaurus Rex. If they missed a meal, who knows if they would go wild and escape from their cages.

Besides, the storm approaching was the perfect opportunity for him.

Upon learning of the storm warning, Sun Cheng made his decision. He planned to stay on the island and take action during the storm at night to steal Hammond's amber and the confidential data from the research center!

"What a coincidence, I have the same idea!"

The two of them chatted casually, and suddenly, screams were heard in the distance.

Thinking that something had happened, they hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound.

"Oh my God..."

Dr. Grant sighed and covered his face with regret in the middle of the crowd. His face was full of sorrow.

"What happened?" Sun Cheng and Ada Wong had just arrived and didn't know what had happened, so they asked someone nearby.

"It's the head of a dinosaur that looks like a Gallumimus. It was cut off by some sharp weapon," Dr. Malcolm answered. He was known to be an expert in chaos theory and had studied paleontology and the history of biological evolution. Like Dr. Harding and Dr. Settler, he was a board member of International Genetic Technologies, brought in by Donald to assess the park's safety.

Sun Cheng quickly squeezed forward upon hearing the news and finally saw the lifeless headless dinosaur surrounded by Grant, Settler, and several other island staff. When he saw the clean cut at the neck, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Wow, it's brutal..."

The dinosaur had clearly been dead for a long time. The blood that had flowed from its wound had already dried up, and countless flies and ants were swarming around its body, adding to the disgust.

Sun Cheng felt a bit nauseous too, but he forced himself to stare at the wound and examined it carefully. After a while, he made a discovery.

"Hmm, such a smooth wound. It doesn't look like it was caused by a chainsaw or an axe. It seems more like a sharp weapon with a smooth blade... The cut was clean and quick. But who could have had such strength to chop off a dinosaur's head in one strike?"

It couldn't have been the island's security personnel hunting privately. They were only hired security staff by International Genetic Technologies and not the owners. Considering Dr. Hammond's demonstrated love for dinosaurs, it was enough to rule out the old man tolerating private dinosaur hunting on the island.

In other words, apart from themselves and the others, there were other dangerous individuals on Isla Nublar.

The Gallimimus was not a particularly large dinosaur, but the one with its head chopped off must have been around two meters tall and weighed three to four hundred kilograms. This type of dinosaur was said to be moderately fast and a omnivore. It would also fiercely resist when faced with danger.

Thinking about this, Sun Cheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He anxiously looked around, feeling as if there were invisible eyes watching him and the others.

This feeling was terrible!
