Chapter 484 - 445: Time Locator
The cannibals, with their faces painted and clad in animal hides, looked utterly terrifying. When Zhao Rong and Lili saw them, they were both startled. However, when Zhao Rong saw Yu Lan, Xuelian, and the assistant tied to a pole and being carried like fat pigs, he became furious. He roared at the tribe, "You cannibals are nothing but primitives! Release the assistant, Yu Lan, and Xuelian immediately! Hand them over to me, or I’ll wipe you out!"
Hearing Zhao Rong’s words, the cannibals burst into laughter. "You humans are our food! We will kill you like pigs and then eat you like pork!"
Listening to their bloodthirsty words, Zhao Rong swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing. "You cannibals... you’re from the very beginning of human evolution."
At this, an idea suddenly struck Lili. She turned to Zhao Rong and said, "Zhao Rong, it’s 2018. There shouldn’t be any cannibals left in the world... but how did we find some on this island? Could it be... we’ve traveled through time?"
Zhao Rong also felt something was very wrong. Connecting this encounter with the dinosaurs they had seen earlier, he involuntarily pulled the time locator from his pocket. Holding the device, he said to Lili, "I’ll use this to determine our current time. Then we’ll know if we’ve time-traveled."
As he spoke, he activated the time locator. When it finished its analysis, Zhao Rong stared at the displayed time, utterly astonished. It turned out that their group had accidentally traveled from 2018 to the Cretaceous Period, a time hundreds of millions of years ago when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth.
Zhao Rong sucked in a sharp breath. He looked at the group of cannibals, sighed, and said, "No wonder you people still eat each other. It turns out you’re our ancestors."
Lili was equally astounded. "So, our ancestors went through a period of cannibalism during their evolution."
When Zhao Rong realized these primitive cannibals were his ancestors, he lowered the Dinosaur Killer Gun he was holding. He had originally been prepared to kill every last one of them to rescue his team members after seeing them captured and about to be eaten. But now, knowing they were his own ancestors, he stowed the weapon away.
Seeing Zhao Rong put away his weapon, the cannibals mocked him. "Scared, are you? If you want a quick death, surrender now! Let us tie you up, put you on the fire, and roast you!"
Standing beside Zhao Rong, Lili realized that even though he wasn’t going to kill the cannibals, they still planned to eat them. She said anxiously, "Zhao Rong, what do we do? If we don’t act against them, they will definitely eat us... But if we do, we’ll be killing our own ancestors! Besides, back in the ancient Cretaceous System, there might have only been a few dozen human ancestors. So, if we were to kill them, there definitely wouldn’t be any humans on Earth by 2018!"
Zhao Rong thought for a moment and realized Lili was absolutely right. He took out his phone, opened the Paradise Shopping Cart app, and searched for an item called the "Cannibal Fishing Net." As soon as he purchased it, a package fell from the sky.
When Lili saw that they could still use the Paradise Shopping Cart app and receive deliveries despite being in the Cretaceous Period, she said in disbelief, "Zhao Rong, this is so strange. Even though we’ve traveled to the Cretaceous Period, how can you still shop with your phone and get packages delivered?"
Zhao Rong thought for a moment before explaining, "Miss Lili, have you forgotten? The Paradise Shopping Cart app on our phones is a shopping site used by deities. So, it doesn’t matter if we travel to the past or the future; we can always buy things online."
Hearing his explanation, Lili sighed and gave the magical app a thumbs-up. "With the Paradise Shopping Cart app, you have nothing to fear, no matter where you go."
Just then, Zhao Rong opened the package. Inside were small plastic packets that looked remarkably like condoms. When Lili saw him holding these condom-like packets, she blushed. "Zhao Rong, didn’t you say you were buying a weapon to deal with the cannibals? Why did you buy so many condoms? And they look like they’re the Durex brand, too..."
Hearing her misunderstanding, Zhao Rong patiently explained, "Miss Lili, when I was looking for a weapon, the first thing I thought was that we can’t harm these cannibals. After all, they’re our ancestors. So, I bought this piece of black technology called the Cannibal Fishing Net."
"Cannibal Fishing Net?" Lili asked in confusion. "Zhao Rong, can you show me how to use these condoms? Oh, wait, not condoms, these Cannibal Fishing Nets?"
Meanwhile, when the group of cannibals saw Zhao Rong take out a box and start fiddling with the small gadgets inside, they jeered, "Human, hurry up and let us roast and eat you! Stop playing tricks! Otherwise, we’ll dismember you alive and carve you up piece by piece!"
Hearing their arrogance, Zhao Rong immediately opened one of the small plastic packets and took out a tiny fishing net. When Lili saw the fingernail-sized nets in his hand, she scratched the back of her head and frowned. "Zhao Rong, are these things that look like children’s toys really the Cannibal Fishing Nets? I really don’t see how these little gadgets can stop such ferocious cannibals."
Hearing her doubts, Zhao Rong began to demonstrate. The moment he deployed the Cannibal Fishing Net, Lili witnessed the incredible power of this black technology.
