| “As Vargas relayed the order and the men opened fire, Cox grumbled, "This is bad. This is very bad." The giant dinosaur roared as the thin lines of red-hot light struck its tough, nubby skin. But it did not roar in pain. It roared as if annoyed by a swarm of insects. Throwing down a half-eaten raptor, it charged toward the source of the stinging lights. Vogcifliauer shouted, "Resch, open fire!" The tank's lasers began blazing away. But without the computer to automatically rotate the turret and guide the guns, the sizzling shots lagged behind the fast-moving beast. Within seconds, the two-ton mousier was towering over the petrified men. Vagas shouted, "The eyes! Aim for the eyes!" In the blink of an eye, the behemoth reached down, grabbed the sergeant and stuffed him into its gaping mouth. Vargas screamed as the sharp teeth pierced his body, tore his flesh aid crushed his bones.” |
