It was afternoon, and the Skinners were hiding in the shadows of the buildings, howling wildly at the Brain Ape.

A group of Brain Apes were armed with various types of guns and kept shooting at the Skinners hiding in the buildings.

They did not enter these deep buildings, they just shot wherever they saw.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of skinners fell in a pool of blood and were relieved, while more were driven by biological instincts to hide deeper in the shadows.

"Kuafu, Skinners, disgusting! Kill them all!" A brain ape on horseback said loudly. Next to him was the bespectacled leader of the ape tribe, Kuafu.

"Wuzhiqi, bullets are limited, there are too many skinners, and they kill people, humans can't. Here, let's go." Kuafu said to his deputy Wuzhiqi.

When the gargoyle disease cataclysm broke out in humans, he had seen skinned monsters and knew how disgusting these things were. He even understood that these monsters were transformed from former incinerators.

When the stone statue disease broke out, the Incineration Bureau of the Epidemic Prevention Center became the most important organization, recruiting millions of incinerators.

After all humans were turned into stone statues, a large number of Skinners were left in every city, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.

These skinners are the masters of every city ruins at night, and they are also the biggest threat that the Brain Apes have ever encountered.

After several years of fighting, they had only cleared out a part of the city's Skinners, but they were still far from completely clearing them out.

Wuzhiqi nodded, approving deeply:

"Kuafu, be smart! Let's go! Hooray!"

With a roar, the Brain Apes, who had already hunted hundreds of Skinners, put away their guns and continued searching towards the next block.

Kuafu frowned, feeling a strange feeling in his heart. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the top floor of the epidemic prevention center, then shook his head and smiled to himself.

The Skinner's hatred for humans far exceeds his hatred for other creatures. If that human really entered the building of the epidemic prevention center, it would probably be noisy and roaring, and at least some of the Skinner's corpses would be left behind. It would be impossible to get in whole body.

.

It's because I'm too suspicious...

It's just that he hasn't seen a living human being for too long. There is only one explanation for the appearance of this human being, and that is that a stone statue has turned into a human again!

He retracted his gaze and looked forward. The corner of his eye swept across the human stone statues on the road. He felt inexplicably irritated and suddenly said loudly:

"Send the order to carry out the fire passing ceremony tonight. Continue to search for humans and try to catch them alive!"

Upon hearing this, the apes present immediately let out a burst of joyful cries, obviously looking forward to the fire-passing ceremony.

Then these cerebral apes possessed themselves and grabbed the human stone statues on the ground and put them on their horses. Soon, a group of ape cavalry left here quickly, leaving behind once again the deserted streets and the roaring sounds in the surrounding buildings.

Skinners.

In the research room on the top floor of the epidemic prevention center building, Shen Feng, who was hiding behind the blinds, watched the brain monkeys leave, and his hanging heart finally relaxed.

The moment the bespectacled man looked up, their eyes met, and Shen Feng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he even thought that he had been discovered.

Fortunately, the other party left again in the end.

Through the monitoring system installed in the research room, he also heard the conversations of these brain apes and finally knew each other's names.

Kuafu!

This brainy ape actually named himself Kuafu, the giant in ancient Chinese mythology who drank the Yellow River dry and died with each passing day!

Oh, what a great ambition!

Shen Feng couldn't help but sneer.

Now it can be concluded that this Kuafu is the leader of these brain apes.

As for the fire-passing ceremony, it is really a bit confusing.

Now is not the time to think about this. Since he has temporarily deceived these brain apes, he must act as soon as possible.

He immediately returned to the computer and began to search for various information saved in it.

The epidemic prevention center has its own independent archive system, in which massive amounts of data are deposited. Although some data has been lost, the remaining data is still vast.

Shen Feng used ape as a search term and got tens of thousands of pieces of information.

You must know that a large number of vaccine and virus tests after the stone statue disease outbreak all used apes as experimental subjects. After all, they are primates like humans, and the responses obtained will be similar.

Shen Feng searched for a long time but couldn't find the key. He suddenly thought of the full name of Brain Ape, "Silicon-Based Half-brain Ape", and immediately added the word "silicon".

Soon, there were only more than 300 pieces of information left, most of which were experimental logs.

The time of these experimental logs is actually before the emergence of stone statue disease!

"Reprinted from the experimental log of the Virus Center of the Capital Academy of Sciences on the impact of a new type of silicon-based virus on ape experimental subjects>"

"Log number 0001. The Xianglong Arctic scientific expedition team obtained a new silicon-based virus sample from under the Arctic ice. It looks like stone statues under the microscope, so it was named stone statue virus.

This is a brand-new discovery that subverts various theoretical foundations in the academic world and sheds light on human evolution! If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely have a place in the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in a few years.

Animal experiments are now being conducted on mutated forms of the virus.

The experimental subject is numbered ‘Kuafu’, and with the spirit of chasing the sun, he opens a new chapter in the world! Haha, it’s funny.

Start injecting the mutated form of the stone statue virus, No. 2 virus, which I named 'Pangu' virus. Isn't it very interesting..."

…

"Experimental subject No. 0078.1 "Kuafu" and the fifty later experimental subjects have all shown changes to varying degrees, and they have become smarter.

Judging from the IQ test, they have reached an IQ level of about 80, which has been greatly improved compared to the original IQ level, and they can even do simple reading!

It’s only been half a year! It’s incredible!

Through brain scans, a major discovery was made. Their brains showed a tendency of cellularization, which is somewhat similar to the morphological effects of mad cow disease prions.

It stands to reason that brain atrophy and brain damage should cause intelligence to decline. Why did these experimental orangutans gain intelligence instead? This is really incredible..."

…

"Log No. 0167. I have assembled all the primate experimental subjects that the Academy of Sciences can muster. After being injected with the Pangu virus, only the orangutans were able to produce substantial mutations and increase their intelligence.

This variation may be related to basic brain capacity and intelligence. The higher the basic level, the higher the improvement.

If used on humans, will there be a phenomenon of superhuman intelligence? Haha, I can’t wait to give myself a shot. But everything has to wait until the animal experiments are completely completed.

After dissection of two orangutans, it was found that their brains showed a tendency of cellularization, and part of the brain cells had been siliconized. Perhaps this is the reason for their improved intelligence.

In a way, they have become half silicon-based, half carbon-based organisms."

…

"Log number 0293. There is a major problem in the experiment, and all the stone statue viruses are undergoing continuous iteration and mutation!

Stone Statue No. 2 virus, also known as Pangu virus, is just the form at a certain point in time during their mutation process!

Most of all the Pangu viruses I have saved can no longer maintain their original characteristics, but have become something new!

On this point, other experimental groups have similar feedback, as if all stone statue viruses are mutating towards the same goal!

As if they were one creature with the same purpose!”

…

"Log number 0364. The test completely failed.

No matter what I do, I can't stop the Pangu viruses from continuing to mutate. I can't keep them unless they are directly combined with living organisms.

I gave myself an injection, and the last remaining injection was stored in liquid nitrogen. Only at this temperature can it be completely retained.

such a pity……

The two thousand orangutans who were the subjects of the experiment have completely mutated and become as intelligent as humans, but that's all. This trait cannot be passed on to the next generation. They may be the loneliest orangutans in history.

Poor people who woke up millions of years early in ignorance.

My skin seems a little itchy..."
