Ch45 - Apology (1/2)
A loud rumble resounded with each stride of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and each step spanned a distance of nearly five to six metres as it relentlessly pursued them. It suddenly unleashed a loud “ao” which shook the windshield of the jeep until it was rattling nonstop. Yu Hao said, “This gun is useless against it!”
“Aim at its eyes!” Zhou Sheng shouted, “Or its nostrils!”

“I can’t aim!”
The large head of the Tyrannosaurus Rex swayed from side to side and crushed a huge tree trunk it collided with. Yu Hao constantly fired at it as it quickly gained on them, and one of the bullets had hit somewhere that caused the Tyrannosaurus Rex to roar in fury. It had been thoroughly enraged. It quickened, but suddenly, the whole world violently quaked!
The Tyrannosaurus Rex, the jeep, and even the surrounding trees and the soil they were rooted in tossed upwards.
Yu Hao, “An earthquake?”
The conscious world immediately sank down again. Zhou Sheng instantly reacted, “He’s on the plane! Could he have encountered turbulence?”
“What do you mean?” Yu Hao had never been on an airplane before.
The world shook a few times. The Tyrannosaurus Rex wavered and tenaciously struggled to regain its footing, then chased after them again.

“Hold on tight!” Zhou Sheng shouted, “We’re rushing over right now!”
Ahead of them and to their left was a waterfall that converged into a slippery brook. After the stream flowed for about ten metres or so, it plunged down a cliff that was nearly twenty metres high to form another waterfall.
Zhou Sheng, “Ladies and gentlemen! Our plane has encountered some turbulence during our ascent, so it might get a bit bumpy——”
Zhou Sheng abruptly slammed the steering wheel and the jeep swerved on the spot with Yu Hao shouting like a madman. The Tyrannosaurus Rex’s head had almost reached the back seat of the car. Zhou Sheng floored the accelerator, and the jeep rushed out with a loud “boom”. It pulled away from the Tyrannosaurus Rex and careened through the stream. The Tyrannosaurus Rex let out a mad roar as it chased them, but Zhou Sheng turned again and rushed right back!
Yu Hao’s entire face had been doused with water.
Zhou Sheng gritted his teeth. Both of them were drenched from head to toe after being swamped with cold water. The car drove through the waterfall and the Tyrannosaurus Rex quickly opened its mouth and bit into the cascading water.
Zhou Sheng shouted at the Tyrannosaurus Rex, “Please return to your seat and fasten your seatbelt. The toilet will be temporarily unavailable——”
And at that moment, the entire conscious world quaked again. The Tyrannosaurus Rex instantly stumbled and fell, slipping on the bottom of the stream that was covered with rocks smoothed from countless years of erosion. When the Tyrannosaurus Rex fell down, the colossal monster was washed several meters away by the force of the current and the momentum created by its own sideways fall. It suddenly let out an ear-splitting roar as it was swept by the current off the edge of the stream and fell down the 20-metre high cliff.
Zhou Sheng drove the car out of the waterfall. Yu Hao watched the Tyrannosaurus Rex desperately claw and scratch before letting out a helpless wail of anguish as it hurtled down the cliff, still swinging its head violently from side to side.
Zhou Sheng, “Thank you!”
Yu Hao ran over to the edge of the cliff and looked down. He saw that the Tyrannosaurus Rex had fallen all the way down and currently seemed quite confused and disoriented. It crawled out of the puddle at the bottom of the cliff, then staggered as it ran away.
Zhou Sheng smoothed out his short hair and looked at Yu Hao. Yu Hao nodded.

Yu Hao, “You’re really amazing.”
Zhou Sheng, “That’s for sure.”
Against the dusky backdrop of the sky, Zhou Sheng sat beside a rock as he bit a straw in his mouth. The top three buttons of his navy blue shirt were unbuttoned and its sleeves were rolled up. This shirt made Chen Yekai seem refined and handsome when he wore it, but on Zhou Sheng it made him look like a hired thug.
Zhou Sheng used a branch to draw a map of the rainforest on the ground from memory.
“I don’t know how long his flight is.” Zhou Sheng said, “We’ve already covered this area, there’s nothing else there aside from the inn.”
“We haven’t been to the center yet.” Yu Hao stood knee-deep in the stream. His upper body was bare as he washed the white shirt that had been dirtied, then wrung it out to dry. There was no sunlight here, and the feeling of wet clothes on his body was difficult to bear.

Zhou Sheng said, “Here, here, and here……are all on fire, so we don’t need to go there. There’s only the central area left, and the entire path that we just came through.”
The sky grew even darker. The jeep’s headlights were turned on, and the two bursts of light were shining upon Yu Hao in the stream. Several black shadows loomed within the jungle.
“Zhou Sheng?” Yu Hao said.
Suddenly, several panthers leaped toward Zhou Sheng, who was still sitting on the rock. A shield immediately appeared behind Zhou Sheng’s back, and with a “clang”, it blocked the sharp claws of the panthers. Zhou Sheng rolled away and grabbed the shield that had appeared behind him, but even more panthers had rushed out and swiftly drove him into the stream!

The panthers’ eyes glowed green and they simultaneously roared before pouncing toward Yu Hao! Yu Hao waded through the water to dodge them. He flung out his thoroughly drenched shirt and whacked a panther with it!
“Get lost!” Yu Hao shouted and spun around as even more panthers encircled him, but in the next moment, a miracle occurred!

When the panther in mid air was whipped by the shirt, it seemed as if it had been abruptly hit by an invisible bat which sent it flying!
Yu Hao, “???”
He suddenly had an epiphany. He swung the shirt out, and wherever the shirt was swept, the panthers would be sent flying in all directions before landing harshly on the ground.
“Zhou Sheng!” As soon as Yu Hao broke through his encirclement, he quickly darted towards Zhou Sheng. He used the shirt to repel the panther that was pressing down on Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng struggled at first, but when the pressure on him was relieved, he immediately sprang out of the stream and began coughing incessantly. Yu Hao roared angrily, “Come ba!” Then he pushed forward again, swinging his shirt in all directions. In an instant, all the panthers were sent flying and filled the whole sky like a celestial fairy had scattered petals from the heavens, accompanied by their anguished wails.
“What kind of an obscene function is that?” Zhou Sheng couldn’t believe the sight before his eyes.
Yu Hao said, “Let’s go!”
Zhou Sheng immediately turned around and got in the car. After Yu Hao chased the panthers away, he got in as well, and Zhou Sheng immediately drove them away from the waterfall.
They had not yet settled down from their panicked states when their gazes met. Yu Hao said, “This shirt, might be……the protective halo he gave me?”
Zhou Sheng frowned, “What does that mean? Now that I think about it, is this shirt the one you wore on stage? Ohhhh——”
Yu Hao, “What’s that ‘oh’ for?”
Zhou Sheng, “Did he fall in love when he saw you singing on stage that day?”
Yu Hao, “No way!”
Zhou Sheng, “Then how would you explain——”

Suddenly, another mad roar resounded. They had just driven down the mountain when the Tyrannosaurus Rex emerged from the rainforest and raced headlong towards them. Zhou Sheng jerked the steering wheel abruptly and Yu Hao shouted, “It’s coming again!”
Zhou Sheng lost his temper, “I’m so done with this dream!!!!”
“I have a plan!” Yu Hao shouted, “Just do as I say——!”
The Tyrannosaurus Rex cleared a path by smashing its way through and charged at the jeep that was rushing towards the jungle clearing in the darkness of the night. Thump, thump, the Tyrannosaurus Rex produced a loud rumble with each step it took.
At the end of the muddy road, Zhou Sheng turned on the high beam and the engine roared with a “buzz——buzz——” whirring sound. Yu Hao was incredibly nervous. His upper body was bare, and he held his white shirt in front of him with both hands as he stood within the range of the headlights’ illumination.
Zhou Sheng stared closely at the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The Tyrannosaurus Rex roared loudly and charged towards the jeep.

In an instant, Yu Hao waved his white shirt as if he was in a bullfight, and with this one shake, the Tyrannosaurus Rex immediately deviated from its original direction and crashed into the dense forest!
Zhou Sheng, “……”
Yu Hao turned around quickly. Zhou Sheng searched through the jeep for a cassette and stuffed it into the stereo.
“Dong dong ta! Dong dong ta!”
“Buddy, you’re a boy make a big noise——”
Zhou Sheng, “Let’s play some music!”
Yu Hao, “Stop it! I’m about to die from stress!”

The Tyrannosaurus Rex rushed back again towards the deafening noise. Yu Hao waved his shirt to the beat of the music while the Tyrannosaurus Rex let out another “ao” and rushed towards the other side of the forest, crashing harshly into it again!
“We——will we——will, rock you！”
