Zhang Fan felt he was going to die. The gravity of Mars wouldn't be enough to kill him by falling, but the problem was that there was an unknown creature waiting for him below. Wasn't this like walking into a trap?
Zhang Fan's body fell to the middle of the corridor. He didn't have time to think. He rolled to his feet and threw a powerful right hook punch forward.
But his opponent was faster and had already pounced on him!
At this moment, Zhang Fan finally saw the other party's full appearance.
Holy crap!
Zhang Fan took a heavy punch to the face, his vision went black, and he passed out.
Why this one?
...
The gorilla, a mammal belonging to the family Gigantopithecus, order Primates, is the largest living primate, primarily found in Africa. A standing gorilla is approximately 1.5 meters tall with an arm span of about two meters, and an adult male weighs around 150 kg.
Over 100 years ago, gorillas were protected under the wildlife protection laws of African countries, but after more than 100 years of evolution and reproduction, they have been removed from the protection list.
With the development of industry in Africa over the past century, humans have harmed most wild animals, with the gorilla being an exception. The explosive growth of African agriculture has provided many "favorable" factors for the reproduction of gorillas.
However, this "convenience" has seriously affected human production and daily life.
In an effort to address the uncontrolled explosive growth of gorilla populations, African countries have decided to amend their laws to allow people to hunt these "harmful animals" with restrictions.
People discovered that gorilla meat is more tender and flavorful than expected. This made it a profitable activity. However, protests from animal rights organizations led the government to ban the use of weapons to kill gorillas.
Therefore, to hunt down a gorilla, a group of people would have to fight it bare-handed.
The fighting style of a gorilla is similar to boxing, and it is incredibly powerful. If an ordinary person does not use weapons, they are no match for it in a one-on-one situation.
This also results in a very low consumption rate of gorilla meat, which often only appears on the menus of high-end restaurants.
Among the many candidate "meats," scientists chose gorillas, since they didn't know which kind of "meat" could be raised on Mars.
Even with their immense strength, gorillas typically cannot withstand the transport of cargo away from Earth and easily perish en route. To ensure the success of their research, scientists selected the strongest gorilla on Earth!
Standing nearly 2 meters tall, with a wingspan of over 2.5 meters and weighing 250 kg, the king of gorillas, codenamed "Bob"!
Zhang Fan knew "Bob" because one of the ten astronauts was named Bob. He would never forget the scene at the Shenyu Group's space training base where he saw "Bob" beat Bob to a pulp.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Fan slowly woke up. Once he regained consciousness, he jumped up against the wall, looked left and right, and when he couldn't see "Bob," he finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down.
Damn it!
Zhang Fan touched his left cheek; it was swollen. Checking his belongings, he realized his boxing gloves were missing, but he couldn't worry about that now. Zhang Fan quickly stood up, entered the living quarters, and locked the door.
Zhang Fan's left cheek looked like it had been swollen from eating a steamed bun. He applied a cold compress with a towel and felt much better; it didn't hurt as much as before.
Now that he finally knew what the mysterious creature was, it seemed he wasn't the only male animal in the solar system. After calming down, Zhang Fan began to think of a way to deal with it.
But without weapons, there was no way to deal with this fake Bob, especially since the real Bob was no match for it. The two-meter-tall astronaut Bob was beaten to a pulp by it.
Zhang Fan now understands the suffering of the African people. No wonder gorilla meat is so expensive, and no wonder hunting gorillas requires a whole group of black men to swarm them.
Damn it!
I am the human at the top of the food chain, why should I be afraid of an unevolved ape!
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
Zhang Fan walked out of the living quarters, intending to go to the main control room to check the surveillance footage.
When Zhang Fan arrived at the central garden, he was shocked by what he saw. The flowers and plants were in terrible condition, and Bob was lying on the grass in the middle, with his boxing gloves hanging around his neck.
Holy crap, do you know that this one costs over 100,000?
This makes things difficult; to get from the living quarters to the main control room, one must pass through the central garden.
Zhang Fan tiptoed out, trying not to wake Bob. He had only taken a few steps when Bob turned his neck and stared at him with his dark eyes.
Eek~~~~
Zhang Fan fled back to the living quarters like a whirlwind.
He chickened out.
He panicked.
what to do?
The central garden is a transportation hub; no matter where you go from the living quarters to other places, you must pass through the central garden.
There's a big problem.
Zhang Fan had no choice but to bite the bullet and head to the central garden again. This time he was more careful and brought a blanket, hoping it might scare the other party in a crisis or protect him from harm.
Zhang Fan peeked out from the side of the corridor to check the situation inside. Bob was still lying on the grass, his belly rising and falling, so he seemed to be asleep.
Zhang Fan quietly walked into the central garden, holding his breath and not daring to make a sound. As he passed Bob, his heart was in his throat, afraid that Bob would suddenly wake up.
Zhang Fan smelled the blood and stopped in his tracks.
Now that we're closer, we can see clearly that Bob's arm is injured, and blood is gushing out. Judging from the condition of the wound, it's unclear what sharp object cut him, and the wound is quite deep, causing the bleeding to be unstoppable.
No wonder it was lying there, breathing rapidly; it had become weak due to excessive blood loss.
The situation is very favorable for Zhang Fan now; even if he does nothing, Bob will die from excessive blood loss.
It is said that gorilla meat is a high-class delicacy!
Although Zhang Fan could eat "meat" in the automated kitchen, it was all fake meat made from vegetarian ingredients. Although the "Bird's Nest" base grew a variety of crops, it did not raise animals to provide meat.
Therefore, the "steak" and similar dishes in automated restaurants are actually made from vegetarian ingredients and seasonings. They may fool the eyes, but they won't fool the taste buds.
"Now is the perfect opportunity to eat meat!"
Zhang Fan thought to himself.
Moreover, the protein provided by an adult gorilla is enough for him to eat for several months.
This will greatly increase his chances of survival!
Zhang Fan tore open the quilt in his hand and stretched the sheet into a long strip.
"Yes, Zhang Fan, strangle it!"
"Take advantage of its weakness and kill it!"
"No matter how you look at it, this is the right choice! Even from a moral standpoint, no one can criticize what you're doing now!"
"Yes, wrap the cloth around its neck and strangle it!"
Zhang Fan suppressed his pounding heart and carefully wrapped the strips of cloth around Bob's body, then tightened them—
tie--
Okay, that bandage is now complete for the injured arm.
Cotton was also added to the strips of cloth to help stop the bleeding.
How thoughtful.
At this moment, Zhang Fan really wanted to slap himself.
What am I doing?
