The latest chapter explodes the plot! Follow up for updates.
The shadowless lights in the laboratory are blindingly bright.
The female chimpanzee numbered A-7 was firmly fixed on the operating table, her limbs were locked, and her neck was tied with a restraint.
Genetic scientist Affleck fused his own germ cells with chimpanzee eggs, then injected the Alzheimer's treatment drug code-named "Dawn" into the mother's uterus.
No one knows what this needle will create.
Three months later, A-7 gave birth to a male cub.
The cub does not have the turbidity and sluggishness of ordinary chimpanzees. Its eyes are frighteningly clear. It can grasp objects in just three days after birth and can walk upright in a week.
Affleck looked at the hybrid body he created, trembling with excitement, and named it - Charlie.
The growth rate of Charlie has exceeded everyone's imagination.
He knew 3,000 words at the age of three, completed junior high school courses at the age of five, and passed the Stanford University entrance exam at the age of ten, becoming the youngest college student in the United States.
However, this is reality after all, not a film or television work.
Students from Ivy League universities will not discriminate against top academics, let alone a highly intelligent orangutan.
Many people even take the initiative to get close to Charlie in order to become Internet celebrities.
As for abuse, that is even more impossible. Strictly speaking, Charlie is private property, and there is a dedicated person to pick it up and drop it off. No one wants to pay exorbitant compensation.
What's more, there is an animal protection organization behind Charlie, and its members are all his crazy fans.
Among them, Lucy, an extreme animal protection organizer, even became a lover with him.
However, being a beast in clothes is never just talk.
As Charlie learns more, it becomes more convinced that humans are just a despicable species that has taken over the earth by relying on its first-mover advantage.
He enjoys the education, medical care, and legal protection of human civilization, but in private, he incites extreme animal protection organizations to cause destruction.
He is always gentle and elegant in front of the camera, has publicly condemned the violence of extremist organizations many times, and has become a well-known anti-violence animal protection leader in the United States.
No one knew that this seemingly harmless hybrid orangutan privately asked the interview camera something that sent shivers down the spines of everyone who watched the video.
The reporter asked him, "You have enjoyed all the rights and interests of human society. How do you think humans should get along with animals equally?"
Charlie tilted his head. There was no anger or hatred on the orangutan's face, only an almost innocent confusion.
"Why can't humans be killed and eaten?"
The reporter froze on the spot, thinking he had heard wrongly.
Charlie continued, his tone as sincere as if he was asking why the sky is blue, "Humans raise cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs in captivity and kill them for meat, just because humans are stronger than them. Now that we apes are stronger than humans, why can't humans be kept in captivity and killed for meat?"
This video was blocked by the entire Internet, but it has already been circulated on the dark web.
From that day on, Charlie completely tore off the mask of gentleness and elegance.
What he wanted was never equality of species, what he wanted was domination of the world.
But towards his mother, Charlie also showed a cold-blooded side.
On my birthday, my girlfriend Lucy and Charlie stood in front of the glass cage in the biology laboratory.
In the cage, his biological mother A-7 was extremely old, with gray hair and cloudy eyes, huddled in the corner.
Because she gave birth to Charlie, she was subjected to repeated experiments, her nerves were damaged by drugs, and she was kept in this small cage all her life.
Seeing Charlie, A-7's cloudy eyes lit up.
It stretched out its skinny hand, passed through the feeding window, and wanted to touch Charlie's face, and let out a gentle growl in its throat.
Charlie took a step back and avoided its touch.
He turned to look at the researcher next to him, his tone as calm as if he was describing today's weather, without a trace of ripples:
"She is just my biological mother. It was not her choice to give birth to me. She and I have no relationship whatsoever."
After saying that, he turned around and left, never looking back again.
In the iron cage, A-7 let out a desperate cry, hit the glass wall, and suffered a bloody head.
Half a year later, Charlie participated in Affleck Laboratory's parallel world exploration project as an experimental subject.
The project was successful, and Charlie entered a parallel world called Blue Star.
There are no humans here, only a tribe of orangutans who have established a complete civilization.
In their world, the same "Dawn" potion was leaked, the apes' IQs skyrocketed, and humans degenerated into unintelligent apes. They inherited all human technological heritage and established Ape Empire.
The leader of the ape tribe was not embarrassed Charlie.
It handed Charlie a sealed metal bottle containing a light yellow viscous liquid.
"This is our magic weapon to win." The leader's voice was low and hoarse. "It is fatal to humans but harmless to apes."
"After inhalation, it will permanently damage the human cerebral cortex, causing them to degenerate into unintelligent apes."
"The only drawback is that it is less transmissible, but as long as the portal is opened, our army and enough viruses will destroy the human world."
"Our goal is to make apes great again."
Charlie took the metal bottle without any hesitation.
"What do I do?"
"Open the stable portal as we pass through. Leave the rest to us."
"When this is done, I will divide your world equally with you, and you will become the ruler there!"
After returning from the parallel world, Charlie concealed everything.
When everyone thought the operation failed, little did they know that Charlie was secretly planning it.
One year passed in the blink of an eye, and Charlie finally got the opportunity he had been waiting for.
Recently, 60% of United States military's main combat troops are deployed in the Asia-Pacific, Europe. There are less than a hundred thousand local regular troops, which are still scattered in various military bases across the country. Only 12,000 National Guard are deployed around Washington.
All six main aircraft carrier battle groups are conducting joint exercises in the west Pacific Ocean. If they rush back to the homeland at full speed, it will take at least seven days.
More importantly, everyone is focusing on overseas threats, and no one thinks that a crisis will break out at home.
Moreover, Charlie was sure that United States military would never dare to bomb his own capital.
The 7-day window is enough for him to overthrow the regime of one of the most powerful countries in mankind.
Over the years, Charlie has anonymously posted secretly filmed videos of animal "abuse" in laboratories on the Internet.
Extremist animal protection groups have organized violent protests many times, but with little success.
But under the secret instigation of Charlie, extreme animal rights activists were gathered together and became Charlie's younger brothers.
Among them, there are some very powerful Reincarnator mercenaries.
They claim to be from another parallel world and are willing to contribute to his efforts to liberate animals.
Although Charlie doesn't quite believe what they say, Charlie must admit that this group of people can help him complete his plan.
The two parties hit it off immediately.
The action was scheduled for three in the morning.
Members of the extremist organization drove a truck and broke open the laboratory door. Reincarnator solved the peripheral security. Charlie spread the virus secretly brought back among the monkeys, and the effect was immediate.
All the chimpanzees in the laboratory have become smart at a speed visible to the naked eye, and have extremely strong learning and imitation abilities.
Charlie led the elites supported by the apes and fought all the way into the core area of the laboratory.
The SWAT team arrived at the scene in ten minutes, but what they faced were Charlie, whose physical fitness far exceeded that of humans, and an orangutan from another world armed with standard firearms.
As soon as the special police entered the laboratory hall, Charlie commanded the orangutans to jump down from a high place, catching the special police by surprise.
There were gunshots, roars, and screams.
In the laboratory, the portal that had been idle for a long time was activated again.
Two-meter-tall orangutans from another world, holding human standard rifles, poured out of the portal in a steady stream.
They have technology and weapons that are not inferior to humans in this world, and their physical fitness far exceeds that of humans.
As they joined, the SWAT team that came to support them was slaughtered.
Charlie stood in front of the portal, looking at the orangutan army pouring into Washington, with a victor's smile on his lips.
At dawn, the entire Washington city had turned into a sea of fire.
The orangutans drove the stolen Armored Vehicle and carried the stolen rifles, shooting indiscriminately on the streets.
People from the extreme animal protection organization drove a truck to help them approach the surrounding military base. The door of the truck was opened, and the heavily armed orangutans rushed out, catching the defenders by surprise.
The military base fell, and more weapons, Armored Vehicle, and helicopters fell into the hands of the orangutans.
Bad news is flying to Pentagon and Capitol Hill like snowflakes.
"Capitol Hill South Road is lost!"
"The second National Guard army was wiped out!"
"Maryland military base has been captured! The other side is using our artillery to bombard the White House peripheral defense line!"
"National Guard from three surrounding states collapsed as soon as they arrived in the suburbs of Washington!"
In Pentagon's emergency combat conference room, General Jensen punched the table, his face ashen.
The frontline officer reported with a sad face, "General, we can't stop it at all! We mobilized National Guard from three states, but as soon as the fire broke out, half of the team dispersed!"
The staff officer next to him scolded, "I knew it! All the soldiers we recruit now are from prison, and they can do nothing but bully civilians! In a real fight, they can run faster than a rabbit!"
Everyone knows that United States military today is no longer as strong as it was in the 1990s.
Today's military is full of probationers and ex-offenders who make up the numbers. They grab credit when the wind is blowing, and they run away when the wind is blowing. There is no hope at all.
But now, they have no troops available.
It's not that there are no heavy weapons, it's not that there is no air support.
But this is the capital of Amerikan and the location of Capitol Hill.
If they really send bombers to clear the ground and blow their own Congress into rubble, their face will be shamed all over the world, and these people will all be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
The terrible thing is that there are no local troops available.
It will take at least 6 days for the main overseas troops to return.
Now they are in urgent need of a vanguard that can fight, rush into Washington, drive the orangutans out, and relieve the siege of Capitol Hill.
But if you look across the United States, you can't find such a unit.
A staff officer suggested in a trembling voice that the members of Capitol Hill should evacuate first, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded back.
Evacuate? How to evacuate?
Capitol Hill has been surrounded by orangutans, and all surrounding helicopter landing spots have been occupied. The Air Force helicopter was shot down by rockets as soon as it took off, and all evacuation routes were cut off.
The congressmen in the underground bunker were already ringing up Pentagon's phone calls, crying and calling for reinforcements, but they had no troops to send.
Just when everyone was in despair, the communications staff suddenly rushed in with a strange expression:
"General! There's a situation! A large force of 100,000 people is advancing at full speed towards Washington. There are only more than 100 kilometers left from the city!"
Jensen suddenly raised his head. "Which army? What is the number?!"
"It's the West Coast National Guard 13th Independent Mixed Brigade!"
The conference room was quiet for a moment, and then someone started yelling.
"National Guard? Or from the West Coast? A group of militiamen, what can they do here? Give them their heads?"
"Do they have tanks and artillery? Or do they have air support? Don't come here to deliver equipment to the orangutans!"
"Are you crazy? Our regular army can't stand it, so a group of militiamen come here to die?"
If some people are willing to die, they are naturally willing to do so.
But everyone knows that the arrival of this group of militiamen will have no effect at all.
At this moment, the communications staff spoke again, "General! The other party's commander, Fu Haoran, requests to speak directly with you."
Jensen was stunned.
Fu Haoran.
How could he not be familiar with this name?
The other party almost became his partner.
Jensen hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Get in!"
"General Jensen, let's get straight to the point. I can break the siege of Capitol Hill and put down this rebellion, but the speed with which I can save people depends entirely on how quickly you send money."
Jensen's face darkened. "Mr. Fu, this is a moment of national crisis. You should put the overall situation first..."
"Don't do this." Fu Haoran interrupted him directly.
"Three conditions, if one is missing, we won't have to negotiate."
"First, drop all accusations against me and DYB Shipyard."
"Second, the remaining balance of US$680 million for ship repairs, plus US$1 billion for counter-insurgency expenses, will be simultaneously transferred to my designated account."
"Third, grant me the temporary supreme command of the North America theater, at least the rank of major general."
Jensen was instantly angry. "Impossible! You are Lion opening your mouth!"
Fu Haoran chuckled lightly, with undisguised sarcasm in his tone:
"General Jensen, you have one year to retire. Now Congress is worried that no one will take the blame for steel fraud. When the orangutans break through Capitol Hill, you will be the first scapegoat to be pushed out to take the blame. Although you will not go to jail, your pension will probably be affected."
"As long as I win this battle, you will be the hero who put down the rebellion. In this way, you will not only be able to keep your position, but you will even get special approval from the Minister of Defense to extend your retirement time."
"From now on, you can leave United States military's ship repair and shipbuilding orders to me, and we can do great things together."
Jensen was shocked and reacted instantly.
That's right! I've been worrying about the retreat for so long, isn't this right in front of me?!
"Okay! I promise you! As long as you can win and put down the rebellion, I will honor all the conditions you want!" Jensen decided to take a gamble.
"You only need to transfer the money and open all the permissions... the rest is to wait for the news of my victory."
Jensen can't stand the arrogance of young people the most, let alone a Chinese like Fu Haoran.
Jensen reminded angrily, "Young man, don't be so loud. Our agreement is based on your victory. According to the intelligence we have, the current number of orangutans is probably far more than 100,000. The militia you have on hand will definitely not be able to withstand it."
Fu Haoran changed from his normal state and spoke with great solemnity, "General Jensen, on the battlefield, I will never give up."
When the call ends, the system prompt will appear immediately.
[Warning: North American Hive City second disaster? Disaster of the Sapient Apes breaks out in full force! Tzeentch Cultist fully invades, Hive City upper level is about to fall completely!]
Fu Haoran turned to look at the soldiers behind him and projected the battle situation ahead.
In the picture, orangutans are burning and killing everything and destroying the city.
They opened fire on civilians and held up the items they tore off to show off to their companions.
Some bite human corpses directly.
Fu Haoran turned to look at the Astra Militarum warriors arrayed behind him, and projected the scene of Washington's sea of fire and orang-utans killing civilians in front of everyone.
He spoke loudly, and his voice penetrated the roar of the engine and was engraved into the bones and blood of every soldier:
"Admit it, you can't stand these Xenomorphs at all! They are different from us. They slaughter our compatriots and eat human corpses. Today they can kill humans in this world, but tomorrow they can bring the flames of war to our Hive Citys!"
"Our emotions are incompatible, our logics are completely different, and coexistence is absolutely impossible! From the day humans stepped out of their home planet, there is a sentence engraved in our genes!"
"Xenomorph, you must die!"
"Today, we are in this world, fighting for humanity! Fighting for Hive City! Tell me, what are you going to do?"
On the position, thousands of Astra Militarum soldiers raised their Bolter in unison and roared deafeningly, "War! War! War!"
Fu Haoran pulled out the Bolt Pistol from his waist, pointed at the Washington city where the flames were blazing, and sternly ordered, "The whole army charges forward! Target Capitol Hill! Crush all Xenomorph!"
