Chapter 12 Return to Earth
"I'll give you a full check-up when we get back tomorrow."
"Alright."
Han Bei nodded. Now that things have come to this, what other options are there?
I can only wait until I get back to have a full-body check-up.
However, just as Su Yang said, he should not have been infected, otherwise he would have been like those guinea pigs.
Thinking of this, Han Bei finally felt a little relieved.
After all, what is meant to be a blessing will not be a curse, and what is meant to be a curse cannot be avoided.
After this incident, Han Bei, who was initially drowsy, suddenly became much more alert.
"Dr. Su, what do you think dinosaur-men would look like?"
Han Bei glanced at the grass on the ground, picked up a blade and held it in his hand.
"have no idea."
Su Yang shook his head. "It seems that there is intelligent life on this planet. But what exactly that is, no one knows yet."
"If dinosaur-like people really existed, would they be susceptible to viral infections?"
Han Bei suddenly turned his head and asked curiously.
Since they evolved from dinosaurs, the basic physical structure of dinosaur humans should be similar to that of undevolved dinosaurs.
Since those dinosaurs could be parasitized.
Does that mean that dinosaur-men could also be parasitized?
If that's the case, wouldn't this planet be equivalent to a barren planet?
"this?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yang frowned.
It seems to make some sense, but something still feels off.
If we accept North Korea's explanation, then where did this virus originate?
Could it be that it just appeared out of nowhere?
This is clearly not realistic at all.
"etc."
Su Yang suddenly thought of a possibility.
That's the kind of virus, if it's not an ordinary virus, but some kind of evolved virus?
Dinosaur evolution certainly couldn't have been the case that all dinosaurs evolved.
Most of it will definitely remain.
Even the dinosaurs that evolved into dinosaur-humans were only a small fraction of the population on this planet.
Not all dinosaurs were suited for evolution.
Thinking back to the dinosaurs that have been examined since time travel, none of them have matched the theoretical predictions.
A bold idea sprouted in Su Yang's mind.
That is, this virus is not a deadly virus.
On the contrary, it is an evolutionary virus that can strengthen itself.
After all, both the giant spiny dragon and the pterosaur had brain capacities that were twice the theoretical value.
Both were infected by the virus.
This is something that Su Yang had to be wary of.
"I didn't realize you had such a quick mind."
Su Yang chuckled softly.
I hadn't even thought about this before, but Han Bei's words reminded me.
Although this is just speculation at the moment.
However, it is not impossible.
"I'm just curious, if dinosaur-men really existed, wouldn't they have known about the virus?"
Han Bei blinked and continued.
"Or perhaps, these viruses were created by the dinosaur people in an attempt to control those dinosaurs that hadn't yet evolved."
Isn't that how human society is?
This has been true from ancient times to the present.
The upper class rules over the lower class.
It's not impossible that this could also be the case with the dinosaur-like people of this planet.
After all, if we project the development of human society onto this planet...
In that case, such a situation is perfectly normal.
However, this is just speculation, and the actual situation will have to be explored further.
A night passes in the blink of an eye.
Apart from a brief incident of a pterosaur attack shortly after nightfall, the night passed peacefully.
"How much time is left?"
Su Yang examined the sample data he had collected earlier and asked Han Bei a question.
"A dozen minutes."
"Understood." Su Yang nodded and looked at Han Bei.
"I'll stay behind with you and leave last. This is to prevent the passage from closing abruptly after you leave."
"no problem."
Han Bei nodded, naturally having little objection to Su Yang's arrangements.
After all, this was the first time he had brought people here.
If I leave now and the passage closes, these people will have to wait for my next journey.
As for the waiting period, what if something unexpected happens?
Then Han Bei really couldn't live with himself.
"Don't worry, I'll wait until everyone else has gone and I'm sure there's no danger before I leave."
Guo Yong patted Han Bei on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"I'm not worried about that."
Han Bei was somewhat speechless.
A dozen minutes is neither a long nor a short time.
Especially for those who have traveled to another world for the first time and managed to return alive.
This is practically a science fiction life.
I noticed the numbers flashing in my mind, indicating that a countdown had begun.
Han Bei greeted him.
The group, who had been whispering and talking quietly, were now separated.
They immediately stood up, lined up neatly, and waited quietly for the portal to open.
Almost everyone's breathing became heavier.
They're going back soon.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
Han Bei stared at the ticking countdown and silently counted in his mind.
As the countdown reached zero.
Blue light intertwined in the air, gradually forming the framework of a portal.
Everyone stared at the calm surface, occasionally rippling with waves, and their breath caught in their throats.
"Everyone, proceed in order!"
Guo Yong's calm and powerful voice came through.
Yang Bowen was the first to step into the portal, and his body was instantly engulfed.
One after another, quickly and in an orderly manner.
Soon, it was Guo Yong's and the others' turn.
I'll go first.
Guo Yong grinned and raised an eyebrow at Han Bei and Su Yang.
He then stepped into the portal.
"Let's go."
Han Bei looked at Su Yang, and before stepping into the teleportation portal, he glanced back at the lush green plain.
It's unclear whether it was an optical illusion when entering the portal or just Han Bei's imagination.
He seemed to see a humanoid creature watching them from a distance.
But only for a moment, when Han Bei blinked to take a closer look, the place was empty again.
Han Bei assumed it was because he was too nervous, which caused him to become mentally disoriented.
Without thinking much, he turned around and walked into the portal.
Outside the teleportation point on the other side.
Yu Shanghe and Peng Lubing waited anxiously for everyone to return.
Han Bei last stayed there for a few hours, but now almost a whole day has passed.
They also didn't know how long it would take for Han Bei and the others to return.
suddenly.
In the empty isolation room, a blue portal suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Upon witnessing this scene.
Peng Lubing, a man who had been on countless battlefields, actually became somewhat nervous.
Even going into battle to kill the enemy didn't cause him such a strong emotional fluctuation.
It wasn't until the first figure stepped out of the portal that Yang Bowen appeared.
After Yang Bowen walked out, the people behind him came out one after another.
Seeing this, Peng Lubing finally felt a little relieved.
Finally, Han Bei and Su Yang emerged.
"Request disinfection to commence."
Before Peng Lubing could step forward, Su Yang's voice came.
