With a murderous glint in his eyes, Gerud's gaze swept over his wounded comrades. After much deliberation, he held back. These apes were his followers, and abandoning them meant he would have a hard time maintaining his foothold in the city center.

At that moment, the only surviving scientist ape suddenly spoke up.

"General, have you noticed that those human monsters have stopped screaming?"

Gerd paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"I was just thinking about these three human monsters. Judging from their appearance, they must be the product of human experiments. But this product is not perfect. They cannot control themselves. They are crazy, violent, and fight recklessly. They are not good at avoiding damage or conserving energy. Such monsters are terrifying, and their energy consumption is also huge."

Gerd said thoughtfully, "You mean..."

The gorilla scientist nodded excitedly.

“They used to bark back, but now they're weak and don't say a word. I can't think of any way to make them think straight.”

Upon hearing this, Grud immediately stopped. The other gorillas exchanged glances, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Kill them."

The gorilla takes the lead, and the other gorillas obey.

"Kill all these humans to avenge our fallen comrades."

"Without these three monsters, humanity is no match for us. Kill them all, return to the experimental base, and rebuild the base with the equipment."

"Commander, this is the best opportunity."

Without much hesitation, Grud turned and rushed back, while the other gorillas thumped their chests and shouted with joy.

The gorillas picked up weapons and began a fierce killing spree.

When the news came, Sam Lane and the others panicked: they never expected that the interrupted gorillas would actually decide to fight back, and what was more complicated was that the timing of the counterattack was just right.

More than half an hour had passed since the medicine was ingested. After the effects wore off, the three of them collapsed to the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their skin covered in beads of sweat, and their muscles showing signs of atrophy.

They no longer have the ability to fight; instead, they have become a burden.

After the initial panic, Sam Ryan quickly calmed down and ordered the armored soldiers to stand in front and try to put out the fire, while the others dragged Kana and the other two back.

The sewer area was narrow and easy to defend, making it difficult to attack. Although the gorillas were tough and dared not rush towards the high-explosive bombs, the humans' actions confirmed the gorilla scientists' guess: the three human monsters had indeed gone the wrong way.

This greatly boosted the morale of the gorillas: without the monsters' help, how could humans possibly withstand the gorilla race on their own?

Sam Lane looked coldly at Lex Rudd: They provided the potion, and now that things have come to this point, only he can make the decision.

"Those three people will soon be unable to recover."

That one sentence alone made Sam Ryan's heart sink to the bottom; the word "sink" was enough to explain his current predicament.

Are there any other medicines?

Luther shook his head: "I only brought three bottles."

"Damn it!"

Sam Lane angrily clenched his fist, while Lex Luthor grimaced, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. He had once thought the legendary General Lane was incredibly powerful, but now it seemed he was no different from those self-important old politicians, constantly on guard against this and that, neglecting the most important thing.

Compared to him, Amanda Waller is a genius; she should be the one leading the Sky Eye, not this "idiot" in front of her.

At that moment, a soldier spoke urgently.

“This is bad; the gorillas have surrounded us from behind.”

"We're surrounded."

Sam Lane couldn't sit still any longer, and Luther also frowned, feeling uneasy lying there for some reason.

The sewer runs straight ahead with no third way out. Once the gorillas block the way in front and behind, they become like waggles, unable to move.

"General, we must break through."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding flash of lightning illuminated his vision. The gorilla charged forward at the exploding bullet and pierced the soldier's chest with a 5.7mm stun gun. Power armor could withstand live bullets, but it could not withstand electric shocks.

The excessive current also affected the soldier standing nearby; he collapsed to the ground and was knocked down by the charging gorilla.

The situation was extremely dangerous, and the crowd had to tighten their formation. Sam Ryan and Luther had to take up arms and join the fight.

Bullets and flashes of lightning whizzed back and forth, illuminating the sewers as if it were daytime.

The course of the battle was constantly changing.

The gorilla was blown to pieces by the exploding bullets, and the human side also suffered heavy losses. The armored soldiers who stood in front as shields fell to the ground one after another. Including Luther and Sam Lane, only four soldiers remained.

"Kill them? I can't fucking do it."

Gerud suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, using his comrades' corpses as shields, and led his squad forward.

Chapter 1300 King of the Metropolis

Gorillas are extremely powerful fighters; even specially trained special forces soldiers, who represent the ultimate fighting force of humanity, are no match for them. They are simply not on the same level.

Any gorilla can engage in a one-on-one fight.

As a descendant of the rulers of Ape City, Grud was even stronger than them. As he carried the bodies of his comrades forward, the pressure was overwhelming. Sam Lane and Lex Rudd felt the fear of impending death. Their minds were in disarray, and they didn't even notice the large rats in the water ahead.

The big rat had a very large belly, not because it was pregnant, but because it had many secrets inside that it shouldn't reveal.

Xu Fu, far away in the metropolis, had been observing the battle situation through the giant rat. Sam Lane's series of speeches left him completely bewildered. The old general clearly hadn't realized that times had changed, and he was standing still.

"Ava, help them. General Ryan can't just die like this."

"Understood, Master."

Ava initiated the self-destruct sequence, and a large rat hiding in the sewer suddenly jumped out, making a sound.

Boom!

A massive explosion occurred in the sewers, and the blast wave threw Sam Ryan and the others several meters. If it weren't for the mechs in front of them, they would probably have died on the spot.

Grud was closest to the explosion. His body was engulfed by the force of the flames and he fell straight down before he could even scream. The other apes didn't fall as badly either. They had no armor to shield them and could only bear the brunt of the fire with their bare flesh. The intense heat of the flames burned away their skin one by one, and their charred bodies lay on the ground, emitting pitiful screams.

"A multitude of hairs is weaker than fire, a large body is weaker than a door; such a simple truth is incomprehensible to people."

Xu Fu helplessly spread his hands, took out his phone, dialed Wang Hu's number, and said...

"Get ready, it's time to unite the Metropolis."

Wang Hu on the other end of the phone was extremely excited: "When?"

"Take your time, wait for my notification."

After exchanging a few words, Xu Fu hung up the phone and then contacted his friends in the media and political circles: since Lex Luthor was being so cooperative, how could he deny the other party's good intentions?

The explosion happened so suddenly and without any warning. Grodd was hit by the shockwave at close range and immediately lost consciousness. The other gorillas were also badly injured; they were very close to the blast and suffered much more damage than Sam and Ryan.

The pipe collapsed during the explosion, and rocks kept falling down.

Sam Lane coughed violently, his head throbbing as if it were about to explode, and it took him a while to regain consciousness.

"How are you? What happened?"

A faint reply came from the side. Lex Luthor turned and walked away, his voice hoarse, saying...

"What happened? Who threw the bomb? Was it you, General?"

Sam Ryan gritted his teeth: "It wasn't me, and it wasn't the gorilla, it was an external force!"

Lex Luthor's expression changed slightly. External force, there really is external force, hidden in the sewers behind the scenes. Who is it? Who is hiding behind the scenes?

What is its purpose? Is it well-intentioned or malicious?

"We must leave immediately; we cannot stay here."

Sam Lane agreed with this view, and he helped his still-wounded subordinate back along the same route. Unfortunately, they forgot that the way back was blocked by a gorilla that was circling around.

This gorilla was the only one at the scene that was not injured by the explosion.

When she raised the stun gun and aimed it at the crowd, Sam Lane and the others truly experienced the fear of impending death.

"go to hell!"

The gorilla let out a cruel laugh, and the next second, a red bolt of lightning erupted from its body, propelling it into the air with unstoppable force before it crashed heavily to the ground.

"Who, who's lurking around like that?"

A dense, almost indistinguishable barrage of punches appeared in response. Barry, with his incredible speed, threw hundreds of punches in a single second; although the force wasn't great, the damage he caused was still considerable.

The gorilla was stunned by the beating; his eyes began to turn black. He couldn't take it anymore and lost consciousness.

After dealing with the gorilla, Barry glanced ahead: Lex Luthor was a famous tycoon in Metropolis, frequently appearing in magazines; his signature bald head was his trademark. Barry recognized him immediately, but the old man beside him didn't.

After looking at him carefully for a few moments, he finally remembered.

"You're from the Sky Eye Society, General Ryan, a director of the Sky Eye Society!"

Sam Lane gave a cold snort, showing absolutely no gratitude for his life-saving hospitality, and

Who are you? Why are you here?

Barry didn't want to answer the question. He was very disgusted with organizations like the FBI and Skynet, who were always trying to cause him trouble. Once, they even deliberately organized a robbery in an attempt to capture him.

After learning the identities of the men, Barry immediately left, rushed to Grodd's side, knocked out all the groaning gorillas lying on the ground, and then called Sheriff Charles, asking him to come and arrest the killer.

A series of breathtaking actions left Sam Lane speechless: This guy must be from Mars! Such an important case has practically been handed over to the police.

To complicate matters further, a group of police officers had already arrived at the underground base.
