The sound of horse hooves came quickly from far away and soon reached the street next to the zoo.
Kuafu sat in the iron cage and could even hear the voices of the ape cavalry talking:
"...It's a disgusting zoo..."
"...Humans should go to big cities..."
"...Strange, smelly..."
"...Quick, don't delay..."
Kuafu stared wide-eyed in the iron cage, opened his mouth, but immediately closed it, and finally took a deep breath and calmed down.
The team of ape cavalry outside left quickly, and the sound gradually faded away, but Kuafu showed a trace of relief on his face, and then lay down and fell asleep.
In the cage on the other side, Shen Feng removed his finger on the trigger and also fell asleep...
Early the next morning, Shen Feng got up, washed, roasted some wild boar meat, shared it with Kuafu, led out two horses, and continued to head towards the capital.
This time, Shen Feng directly avoided all towns and moved forward in the wilderness, slowing down his speed and being very cautious all the way.
The pursuers have caught up. If the capital is the base camp of the ape tribe, then they may encounter the remaining ape tribe along the way, so they must be careful.
Since Shen Feng told Kuafu about his identity last night, the ape leader has been in a long silence, as if he has been thinking about Shen Feng's words.
They all understand at this time that words alone cannot make them completely trust each other.
Everything requires more trust.
The wormwood in the wilderness is more than one person tall, but fortunately, with a warhorse, all this is not a problem.
In the next few days, Shen Feng took Kuafu around the towns of all sizes in the wilderness and moved forward all the way.
Although the speed has slowed down, the probability of encountering pursuers has also been greatly reduced.
The closer they got to the capital, the more ape pursuers they encountered. Sometimes, they could even see the ape cavalry from afar. Shen Feng cut a bunch of wormwood and covered the warhorse with it to disguise it.
Kuafu remained silent all the time, neither calling for help nor trying to escape.
After about ten days of detours, they saw the iconic buildings of the capital from afar and came to the suburbs of this ruined city.
The human stone statues here are much denser than other places.
When the plague of stone statue disease entered the late stage of spread, a large number of patients broke through the isolation and rushed to the capital, looking for the final salvation.
But what they got was not salvation, but a mass extinction.
Riding a horse and shuttling between human stone statues, Shen Feng held the gun vigilantly and looked forward.
This is the base camp of the apes, and they will definitely be on guard. Although most of the tracking apes are scattered in the wilderness, some of them should have returned to the capital.
This is the main reason why he has been carrying Kuafu as a hostage.
Seeing that he has arrived in the capital, Kuafu's expression has become more solemn, as if he has made some kind of determination.
Shen Feng was riding a horse to explore the way ahead. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the bushes beside him. Shen Feng turned his head suddenly and saw a leopard rushing towards him like a flash of lightning!
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Shen Feng snorted coldly, and the shotgun wrapped in several layers of rags in his hand fired instantly.
There was a muffled "bang", and the leopard's body stagnated in mid-air, bursting with a ball of blood, and then suddenly fell to the ground.
Shen Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and another leopard jumped out of the bushes on the other side and rushed directly to his back!
The leopard's dagger-like claws sparkled in the sun. If he was pounced on, he would be seriously injured if not dead, not to mention the sharp teeth that followed!
Seeing that Shen Feng had nowhere to hide, Kuafu on the warhorse behind him glared, roared wildly, and leaped up directly, pounced on the leopard, and knocked the ferocious leopard away!
The ape and the leopard rolled to the ground and began to fight wildly. Kuafu rode on the leopard directly, raised his fists tied with ropes, and smashed the leopard's head like a hammer.
The leopard's claws tore several wounds on his body, but it could not stop Kuafu's madness at all.
Under repeated heavy blows, the leopard's head was smashed into a bloody mess, and its skull was cracked. Soon it stopped struggling and lost its vitality.
Kuafu seemed to still be unsatisfied, and continued to swing and smash until the leopard's head was completely flattened. Then he stopped, raised his head with a bloody face and looked at Shen Feng with deep eyes.
Shen Feng's eyes were full of satisfaction, and he pulled out the submachine gun hidden under his armpit just now.
When the leopard suddenly jumped up, he had already turned the gun quickly. If Kuafu had not taken action, the submachine gun would have shot the leopard into a sieve.
But in any case, the gorilla saved him.
"So, you believe what I said?" Shen Feng asked calmly.
Kuafu also stood up calmly and said, "I hope what you said is true, and you can really keep your promise... cunning human."
He had seen the submachine gun in the other party's hand, and instantly realized that what he did was just a test of this human.
He has thought a lot in the past few days. If what this human said is true, he really comes from a world that still has a complete scientific research system, and the only hope for the reproduction of the intelligent apes may fall here.
The scene where the other party got the research data out of thin air before also made him unable to help but believe it.
The most important thing is that no matter whether what the other party said is true or false, this is the only life-saving straw for the intelligent apes, and he must hold on to this straw tightly.
Even if all this is just a conspiracy of this human, he must admit it before there is proof.
Shen Feng nodded and continued:
"I can promise you, but I also need the loyalty of your entire tribe. I want to control this world through you."
From the beginning, what he wanted was not only to complete the task and leave here, but also this doomsday world with endless resources!
Kuafu also nodded:
"Okay, you will become our saint, our god. In the face of survival, apes will not care about the so-called dignity. That is the vanity of you humans."
Shen Feng stretched out a hand on the horse's back:
"Then, happy cooperation."
Kuafu showed a look of relief at this time. He also rode on the horse and stretched out a hand to shake hands with Shen Feng:
"Happy cooperation."
Just then, a sound of hooves came from a distance, and dozens of ape cavalry quickly came in their direction.
Although the gunshot just now had been processed, it still attracted the attention of the apes.
These ape cavalrymen had seen Kuafu and Shen Feng from a distance, and soon came to a place only tens of meters away from Shen Feng and Kuafu, and stopped their horses.
The first ape had joy in his eyes. It was the general named Shiyan under Kuafu, who shouted loudly:
"Kuafu, are you okay?"
The moment Kuafu saw this ape, he suddenly frowned slightly, and then said with a smile:
"I'm fine, I have reconciled with humans, everything is a misunderstanding."
Shiyan looked at the ape cavalrymen around him and said loudly:
"Kuafu, are you injured?"
Apes are still relatively unfamiliar with controlling their emotions, and there is a hint of strangeness in their eyes at this time.
Shen Feng frowned and whispered to Kuafu:
"Why are they loading grenade launchers?"
Shiyan was holding a grenade launcher in his hand, and he was constantly loading it while talking.
This thing is extremely powerful. Once it is launched, Shen Feng and Kuafu will be affected.
Kuafu still kept a smile on his face and looked at the ape cavalry, whispering:
"Shiyan is the most ambitious among the ape generals. I can suppress him at ordinary times. As for now... the desire for power of primates can overwhelm everything. The apes are also primates."
Shen Feng instantly understood what happened, and whispered:
"I will count one, two, three, you throw it out immediately, and then we will run to the left. One... two..."
As he said, he used his sleeve as a cover and put a grenade into Kuafu's hand.
Kuafu still had a smile on his face at this time, and said loudly:
"Shiyan, I didn't expect your team to come back early. I just met Wuzhiqi and Changmao. They will come here soon. Take this."
As he said, he threw the grenade casually, and he smeared a layer of blood on it.
Shiyan was startled when he heard the names of Wuzhiqi and Changmao, and then he saw a red object flying in the air, and an ape beside him subconsciously went to catch it.
"Three!"
Shen Feng shouted, and the man and the ape turned their horses' heads and rushed to the street next to them.
At the same time, Shiyan's men also received the grenade, and there was a loud "bang". The ape and his warhorse were blown into pieces, and the apes beside him were instantly injured.
When the smoke and blood rain dissipated, Shiyan's face was covered with blood, his eyes were sinister, and he roared wildly:
"Kill them!"
