The oscilloscope that he had treasured and maintained for so long finally showed new activity. Who knows in which direction he had inadvertently tilted it just now, leading to this result...

With this call, even Professor Linton and Laura put aside what they wanted to say, and followed behind Xia Chuan and the others, quickly taking two steps to gather around Dennis. Even Mediterranean Circle who had no idea what was going on curiously crowded over.

Xia Chuan's gaze fell on the oscilloscope, and he saw that in addition to the two waveforms originally on the screen, there was now a third waveform. The fluctuations of these three lines were very unstable at the moment, as if they were interfering with each other, unable to find a point of balance. Moreover, very quickly, these three waveforms all became somewhat intermittent.

"Hey hey!" Dennis saw this and immediately became anxious. "What are you doing! What are you all doing! Crowding over and affecting my reception!"

After saying that, he directly hugged the oscilloscope to his chest like a mother hen.

Hearing this, Xia Chuan and Shen Lan acted in tacit understanding and decisiveness. The two of them, relying on their height and long arms, forcefully inserted themselves into the crowd, sweeping everyone aside with their hands, leaving enough space for Dennis.

Dennis hurriedly ran a few steps forward while holding his treasure, and the waveforms on the screen became clear and stable again.

He could be seen holding the oscilloscope, walking back and forth on this small patch of grass, trying to move a few steps in each direction. Finally, he stopped at a certain point, moved back and forth a couple of times, then waved his hand and pointed in the direction he was facing: "Go this way!"

The crowd was a bit puzzled, obviously not understanding what he was pointing at. On the other hand, Protruding Ears, who had helped him fiddle with the oscilloscope, said nothing and pulled his girlfriend to follow behind Dennis.

Needless to say, Xia Chuan and Shen Lan naturally didn't need to be told. Once the direction was confirmed, the two of them always had the fastest action.

The rest probably had some blind admiration for these two. Seeing them move, they hurriedly followed, but after a few steps, they seemed to remember something, stopped, and ran back in a fluster to pick up the remaining "tubers" scattered on the ground.

Mediterranean Circle was quite generous. He directly took off his top, wrapped the "tubers" in it as a whole, hung it on his shoulder, and hurriedly caught up with the crowd.

Almost everyone continued on the path pointed out by Dennis, but there were three figures left by the river who did not immediately follow.

Xia Chuan rushed a few steps, looked back and frowned: "Where's the professor?"

"Huh?" Shen Lan saw him stop and stopped as well. "Isn't he following—tsk—where are the people?" As he spoke, he looked back, glancing roughly at the group of people whose features were not very clear, but did not see Professor Linton's somewhat short and stout figure.

"And that guy and that guy." Shen Lan also frowned and added offhandedly. Unfortunately, this person was always too lazy to remember the names of irrelevant people, so his expression was vague.

"..." Xia Chuan was speechless and prompted: "Laura and Allen."

"Right, those two." Shen Lan nodded.

Mediterranean Circle, who was at the very end, heard this and looked back, but due to the heavy smoke obstruction, he could hardly see anything: "Could it be that they are still by the river?"

Shen Lan's ears moved, and he made a "shh" gesture with his index finger on his lips, saying, "I heard them talking, discussing... that Yaya Dragon."

Xia Chuan: "..." Yaya is Yaya, Tyrannosaurus is Tyrannosaurus, what the hell is a Yaya Dragon?!

Shen Lan heard correctly. At this time, Professor Linton and the others were standing in front of Yaya, and Allen was tugging at Laura's clothes, looking at Yaya pitifully and asking, "Mom, aren't we taking them with us?"

Yaya had already opened its eyes when Laura was treating its wounds, and now it was staring unblinkingly at the three figures in front of it. Its strength had recovered to a limited extent, and it was temporarily unable to support its huge body, so it still maintained that posture of lying on its side on the ground.

The blood oozing from the wounds on its body was no longer black, gradually turning into a normal scarlet color. Its breathing also became much more steady and no longer rough and heavy. Although it looked like it was going to recover, it was still very dangerous in this environment.

Beside it lay the Pyroraptor that was with it. It had more injuries than Yaya and looked even weaker. Laura had also treated its wounds, but it was still a question whether it could stand up again.

And between the two huge bodies, there was also a very small thing lying down. Its spread wings were not much larger than a bat's, and its entire body was only the size of a small monkey. It was the small one that had almost pounced on Xia Chuan in the stone cave earlier.

It still had the strength to move. Occasionally, it would lift its thin wings and flap them at Yaya and the Pyroraptor. Seeing that they did not respond, it would lie down again to rest.

"They... they are too big, we don't have the ability to take them away." Laura patted his head, looked apologetically in the direction of the main group, and then turned her gaze back to Professor Linton.

She was actually very worried that Allen's childish thoughts and ideas would cause trouble for everyone or bring about disgust. After all, in a situation where life itself could not be guaranteed, all naive and unrealistic ideas would not be endearing.

However, she was also very grateful that the people she met seemed to have very different personalities and were not very approachable. Some could be clearly seen to not like children very much, but they all showed an appreciative tolerance towards Allen.

She was not an ungrateful person. If Allen was the only one who wanted to stay by the dinosaurs and didn't want to leave, she would definitely pick him up without a second word, and would never be the one to fall behind and drag everyone down.

But now, Professor Linton was also reluctant to leave.

Professor Linton looked at Yaya with even more reluctance than Allen. After staring into Yaya's jet-black eyes for a while, he suddenly spoke, "It saved my life, and I said I would repay it, but now I can't take it away with me..."

"...This isn't your fault." Laura hesitated for a moment before saying, "In fact, you've already repaid it. If you hadn't just tried to save it, I wouldn't have followed to treat the wound. Although the toxins are not difficult to resolve, if truly left untreated, they would still lead to death over time."

Professor Linton shook his head but did not speak. It was unclear whether he was regretting Yaya's condition or denying Laura's words.

Just as the three fell silent, a tall, thin figure walked through the smoke, approaching them. Xia Chuan's slightly cold voice came through, "Professor?"

Upon hearing him, Professor Linton sighed. He then walked a couple of steps forward and tentatively reached out, patting twice in front of Yaya's nose as a farewell. He then walked back to Laura's side, ruffled Allen's soft golden hair, and said, "Say goodbye to them, we need to leave this place."

Allen's mouth was pursed, and two teardrops instantly welled up in his eyes. Fearing he would refuse to leave, Laura simply picked him up, patted his back, and said to Professor Linton, "Let's go."

They hurried towards Xia Chuan's direction. Allen lay on Laura's shoulder and did not cry or resist. Instead, after the smoke completely concealed Yaya and the others, he said in a muffled, tearful voice, "I don't want to say goodbye..."

With everyone gathered, they began to advance non-stop in the direction Dennis pointed.

Everything seemed to start repeating the situation before their rest. The excitement of finding the direction did not sustain them for long. After walking for an unknown period in the thick smoke and the sky that never brightened, they felt utterly exhausted again.

Only this time, the exhaustion was more dangerous because the feeling of suffocation was so severe that even sitting still could not alleviate it.

Everyone was barely holding on to their last few breaths...

Just as their hopes became more and more distant, almost extinguished, the oscilloscope in Dennis's hand suddenly made a "buzzing" sound again. Unfortunately, this shot in the arm merely made everyone raise their heads slightly, their eyes brightening for a moment, with no further reaction.

Except for mechanically moving their feet, they really had no strength to do anything more...

Even the most enthusiastic Dennis merely raised his hand to point in the direction and then continued to walk forward half-dead.

They could no longer stop now. Once they stopped, they would immediately collapse from lack of support and would not get up again...

But soon, the oscilloscope started "buzzing" again.

Dennis's steps paused, and then he said to Shen Lan and Xia Chuan in a dry, burning voice, "It seems... we're close!"

As if to confirm his words, in the next less than 200 meters, the oscilloscope sounded more and more frequently, from once every 50 meters to once every 20 meters, and then to almost every dozen steps with a new prompt.

The successive prompts finally caught everyone's attention. In their muddled consciousness, they dug out the last bit of clarity and understood - it seems they are about to arrive!
