rushed scatteringly, in different directions, thus involuntarily separating and losing sight of each other. Now the question of self-preservation was very acute for them, and each of them rushed into the forest thicket of the jungle to protect themselves from the predator running after him.
Despair. Luanu now felt only despair.
In his hands was a piece of this monster’s paw, but there was still the «rest» that was walking around somewhere nearby. It had been six hours since Luana had lost sight of Shea, and he didn’t even know if he was alive.
His hands were shaking, his eyes clouded with a wound in his side, which was bleeding and aching.
Luanu was thinking convulsively how
then he should do it. If it is something somewhere nearby, then the only way to break through to the ship is to run ahead. He understood that the vajra resource would be enough to cut through the fern thickets, but it was unlikely to eliminate the monster. It was too big. He tried to lean on the ledge of the rock, and look out of his hideout to understand where his enemy might be now. A super-large specimen ALLOSAURUS FRAGILIS became LUANU’s opponent. They were famous for their bloodthirsty disposition. They attacked spontaneously, in packs, often on even larger predators. The five-meter Lemurian fought him desperately, using all his strength to defeat the monster. But allosaurus was too strong. Slightly yielding to him in power, and giving him a hole in his side, Launu hid behind a rock ledge, while the monster was distracted by small boars at his feet.
There was no longer any delay. Luanu quickly ran out of his hiding place, and rushed through the thicket towards the ship. As they walked, snatching out a portable communication device through which they were supposed to contact Shia in case of danger or unforeseen situations, Luanu began to shout in a hoarse voice into the speaker:
– Shea, Shea! Can you hear me? I’m running away from that giant gorilla in the sowing area black part of the plateau!! Shea, tell me you’re alive!!
In response, there was only a series of wheezing and groaning radio waves from the speaker.
Luanu put the device back in his backpack in a heartbeat and raced even faster, accelerating the pace of movement by about half. A little tired, he stopped and looked around. His monster acquaintance was not visible on the horizon, but he saw several pteranodons circling over some prey. Perhaps someone else was the victim of this bastard. Luana prayed THAT LIGHT that Shea would be alive. He did not want to lose a friend, and besides, he could not manage the ship himself. Luanu was only an assistant pilot and did not graduate from pilot school. If they both die here, their friends will never know what happened to them, what the situation on Earth is like, and how many more years they will have to wait for a new chance to find a new home. After some time, the top of the ship looked out from behind the thickets. Luanu breathed a sigh of relief. At last!
Luanu breathed a sigh of relief to see that his and Shea’s ship was in place, safe and sound. He made his way inside, and, reaching the sleeping compartment, almost immediately fell asleep.
Having previously battened down the hatch, so as not to become a victim of another predator, Luanu made himself comfortable and dozed off.
At this time, Shea rushed at full speed through the jungle, simultaneously slicing through the powerful fern thickets with his weapons. Which was already losing power and required recharging.
Shea was being chased by a beast called Spinosaurus. Spinosaurus skeletons were later found in North Africa. Spinosaurus aegyptiacus were originally from modern Egypt. The lizards reached more than 18 m in length. Shea was also not small in height, but unlike the spinosaurus, he did not have so many sharp fangs-teeth that could bite his ridge in no time. Liera warned her friends to be wary of the tyrannosaurus, Earth’s largest predators. But spinosaurs could be significantly larger than tyrannosaurs.
These reptiles had a long, narrow muzzle and moved on two or four massive legs. Their lifestyle was very different from the lifestyle of other dinosaurs. The structure of the skeleton suggested that they were some kind of a huge crocodile. Spinosaurs led a semi-aquatic lifestyle and were fish-eating predators.
Shea was not a fish, but apparently this did not at all embarrass this spinosaurus, which chased after him from the «darkest plateau».
Shea almost dropped his backpack to get rid of the ballast, but then realized that it would be stupid and shortsighted, given the fact that it has communications, additional attributes of protection and surveillance.
«How do you stop this monster?» Shea was frantically trying to draw up a plan of action. Suddenly, turning near the cliff, Shea saw out of the corner of his eye his opponent stagger on two legs and began to slide into the abyss.
Shea was overjoyed! If he falls off this cliff right now, it will be incredible luck. The lizard desperately clung to the rock with its forepaws. At the same time, biting back into the stone, already under the cliff. At some point, there was a hysterical cry of an animal, and it flew with a crash into the abyss. Shea exhaled. Fuh. It remains to get to the ship, and restore contact with his friend. Around the next bend, Shea saw the ship and gave out a victory cry. Their affairs were improving.

Liara looked worried and a little sad. For two days now, Luanu and Shea have not contacted, which could mean that they are in serious trouble. The head of the Lemurian confederation, Sao Pole, told Liera to contact her friends by all means before it was too late. She desperately sent messages into the abyss of the satellite radio signal, but there was still no answer.
The Lemurian Confederation was currently located on the planet FarFarOut, which was about 146 times farther from the Sun than Earth. But in the same solar system.
This planet was hidden from prying eyes, and many alien races did not even know about its existence. Thus, traveling in space, uninvited guests could rarely drop in to the LEMURIANS.
The Lemurian race developed such sciences as mathematics, chemistry, physics, and the sphere of shipbuilding developed.
Each Lemurian was obliged to be, according to the laws of the confederation, a fully conscientious citizen, which meant that, firstly, he would necessarily acquire offspring, and secondly, he would receive a profession that was relevant for the confederation, and would serve all his life for the good of the Lemurian community.…
Liera, tired of pressing the radio buttons without stopping, even managed to doze off a little. She was awakened by another lab worker: Nisu Bas.
Nishu alarmed Liera with his low voice when he entered the laboratory, loudly communicating over the radio with another department.
– My God, Nishu! You scared me! – Liera jokingly grabbed her heart and smiled at Nish.
– Sorry, Liera, I didn’t mean to. Hearing something from Luanu and Shea?
Liera shook her head.
– Silence.
Nisha nodded sadly.
– We must pray to the Light that our guys survive and bring us valuable materials.
– Yes, Nishu.
Now only prayer can help.
Liera brushed a strand of hair that had fallen to her forehead, rose from her chair, and walked out of the lab. At the door, she paused for a second.
– Niche! After all, they are trying for us… It’s really very important. To keep them alive.
Nisha nodded. Liera smiled and walked out of the lab.
Nishu walked over to the monitor. A single, flat signal line floated across the screen. The satellite was silent.

Imagine Shea’s joy when he climbed into the ship and found Luana sleeping there!
Shea didn’t wake each other up, but went straight
