After the initial surprise, Brother Jie asked the others:

How are you doing now?

"We hid inside the building, and the gorilla couldn't get in."

Mao was captured while trying to lure the gorilla away.

I had a feeling that Huang Mao was probably in grave danger, but I couldn't immediately go to the zoo to rescue him.

"Tell me what happened over there first."

I need to assess the situation before figuring out how to get over there and rescue you.

Silently mourning for Brother Mao outside, the five walked towards the center of the zoo.

Given the size of the gorilla, it's unlikely that it would willingly enter the enclosure without noticing the five of them.

Then, the younger brother who initiated the call quickly reported to Brother Jie everything that had happened after the group came out of the North Gate.

After listening to the report, Brother Jie made a judgment based on the situation after chasing Huang Mao and catching him.

This gorilla should only be a level 2 mutant beast.

However, due to the racial advantages of mutated beasts, coupled with their enormous size after mutation, their physique is much stronger than that of humans.

In situations where they are of equal strength, human superhumans are often no match for mutated beasts.

When faced with the gorilla, the blond-haired man had no intention of fighting it and was only concerned with escaping, which is why he was caught.

Brother Jie pondered whether or not to report to the city lord.

"If it's just a level 2 mutated beast, we currently have 7 level 2 ability users in our search and rescue team."

Several others have already broken through to level two but have not yet awakened their superpowers, and their physiques are much stronger than those of level one superpower users.

The group consists of 3 meat-type, 2 elemental-type, 1 beast-type, and myself, a poison-type.

As he weighed his options for dealing with the enormous gorilla, Brother Jay began to make his decision:

'We can't rely on the city lord for everything. We can fight this battle too!'

He replied to the younger brother, saying:

"I'm organizing a team to go and rescue you!"

"You all stay hidden and don't attract the attention of the mutated beasts."

After hanging up the call, Brother Jie stopped the convoy and told everyone to get out of their cars.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, he recounted the situation in the northern botanical garden to the others.

"We are now going to the small zoo in the northern botanical garden to rescue the five surviving members of the hunting team."

"And we also need to kill a level 2 mutated gorilla."

Brother Jie has already implicitly acknowledged that Huang Mao cannot survive and has removed him from the list of people needing rescue.

A five-meter-tall gorilla? Does that really exist?

"How do we rescue them when we get there?"

Brother Jie said confidently:

"We have seven level-two ability users, and the flesh-based ones are in front to attract the gorilla's attention."

I will poison it, and if I delay long enough, it will soon become weak.

When we all attack the gorilla together, it'll be completely at our mercy!

Time was of the essence, and no one had any objections to the plan arranged by Brother Jie.

Jie Ge and a subordinate from the meat system, along with Zheng Lan, Ning Chuxia, Zhang Yao, Feng Xuelan, and Li Qionglan from East China University of Political Science and Law.

The group of seven, all of whom had reached level two, boarded a dump truck and headed north.

As for the remaining people, they continued their journey to East China University of Political Science and Law to rescue other survivors.

The zombies on the campus of East China University of Political Science and Law have been basically cleared out, and a few members who have broken through to level two are left to protect them, so they are unlikely to encounter any danger.

As for dealing with the gorilla, how could you lose 7:1?

Brother Jie's rescue plan was put into action.

......

Inside the zoo, the gorilla looked at the blond fur held up in front of its eyes with some confusion.

It seemed a little strange what the blond guy meant by shouting just now.

The expected excruciating pain did not come; the blond-haired man, who had been screaming with his eyes closed, opened one eye.

Suddenly, I saw the gorilla's dark face right in front of me.

My heart was pounding, and I was also puzzled as to why the gorilla hadn't killed me.

Although I still couldn't break free from the large hand holding me, I could clearly feel that the gorilla's grip had loosened considerably.

Therefore, even though he was held in the gorilla's hands, he didn't feel too uncomfortable.

"Brother Gorilla, aren't you going to eat me?"

The blond-haired man asked tentatively, word by word.

Upon hearing what the blond-haired man said, the gorilla seemed to be thinking, then shook his head.

"Can you put me down first?"

The gorilla shook its head again, then raised the giant python in its other hand and approached the blond-haired man.

As the snake's head, smashed by the gorilla, approached him, blond-haired man got goosebumps all over his body.

I'm not afraid of other yellow-haired creatures like mice, spiders, and insects, but I really hate these slippery, cold snakes.

He immediately shouted:

"Wait, wait, brother, don't get this thing so close!"

The blond-haired man felt the gorilla gripping his hand tighten.

Thinking back to how the gorilla has appeared since then, it seems it has never intended to attack him.

Just as the blond-haired man excitedly carried the giant python behind him, he felt like he had made a mistake.

"Is this your spoils?"

"I can't help but ask," the blond-haired man asked tentatively.

The gorilla made a whimpering sound and nodded vigorously, seemingly very proud.

Seemingly understanding something, the blond-haired man changed to an exaggerated expression and said to the gorilla:

"Brother Xing is awesome! He managed to handle such a huge python!"

As if finally hearing the long-awaited praise, the gorilla excitedly grabbed the blond-haired man and the giant python, jumping around on the spot.

This caused Huang Mao to scream again, which reached the ears of the five people in the animal enclosure who were contacting Brother Jie. They couldn't bear to imagine the terrible state Huang Mao would be in.

On the gorilla's face, the blond man could actually see a clear smile and a sense of human satisfaction.

'This is unbelievable, does this gorilla like being praised?'

Is someone really that smart?

After receiving praise from the blond-haired gorilla, the gorilla put the blond-haired gorilla down and made excited whimpering noises.

After calming down, he walked to the side and began to gnaw on the giant python's carcass.

The blond-haired guy standing to the side wanted to leave, but every time he made a move, the gorilla would turn around and look at him.

The blond-haired man had no choice but to abandon his plan to leave and turned to look at the gorilla that was eating.

The python's head was torn open, and a 3-millimeter-sized milky-white crystal fell to the ground.

Level 2 energy crystal!

'I want it so badly...'

Before the blond-haired guy could figure out how to trick the gorilla out of the crystal...

Then the gorilla scooped up the blood-stained crystal from the ground and swallowed it whole.

It's obvious that the gorilla also knows this is a good thing.

'Waaah, how can that damned beast be so smart...'

After swallowing the crystal, the gorilla continued to tear at the giant python's flesh and blood, swallowing it whole.

As the giant python devoured its flesh and blood, the blond-haired man felt that the gorilla's already enormous size seemed to grow even larger.

Staring intently, I finally confirmed that it wasn't my imagination; the gorilla was indeed getting bigger...
