Chapter 3: Towards a New World (Part 1)

The female gorilla, which had just seduced the male gorilla, approached from behind and gently took hold of his arm before both walked into the darkness.

Tang Lie became hesitant, and staying behind would not be a bad choice either

He stuffed a worn-out satchel into Tang Lie's hands: "The items inside are a gift I am giving you. You can put anything you wish to take with you inside; the satchel will ensure that the contents remain intact."

Tang Lie placed a bouquet of fresh flowers at Qin Yuanyuan's grave: "I am sorry... it is I who have implicated you. If heaven could grant me another chance, I would do everything in my power to make it up to you..."

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, Tang Lie plummeted rapidly from a great height, with his clothes igniting in multiple places due to the high-speed friction with the airflow.

Tang Lie was taken aback and hurriedly inserted his fingers into his throat, attempting to extract the diamond. The sharp sensation from his fingers made him gag, but unfortunately, he was unable to successfully vomit out the diamond

Tang Lie exerted all his strength and pushed towards its face: "Let me go..."

Goodbye!" Tang Lie muttered to himself, gazing longingly at this familiar yet strange world. Hesitantly, he opened his mouth and took in the blue diamond, but suddenly, the image of the mother gorilla baring her teeth flashed in his mind. Perhaps due to the effects of the drug in his system, the mother gorilla's expression now seemed to him much more alluring and enchanting.

Tang Lie pushed aside the dead branches pressing down on him and crawled out from below, still shaken and in a state of shock

Body temperature 39 degrees Celsius, blood pressure 190/120 mmHg, heart rate 130 beats per minute. Tang Lie anxiously recorded his various physiological indicators. If the situation continued to deteriorate and he did not receive rescue, he would ultimately die on this deserted island due to heart failure induced by excessive left heart load.

A female gorilla burrowed into his cramped shelter, gazing at Tang Lie with affectionate eyes, which made Tang Lie feel somewhat uneasy

The joy of having escaped death temporarily made him forget his predicament. Convinced that his body was uninjured, Tang Lie crawled from the pond to the shore. His clothes had been completely burned away, but the satchel given to him by the white ape still hung intact around his neck. It seemed that the material of this bag was quite special. He touched the contents inside, which remained perfectly intact. Had he known this would be the case, he should have stripped off his clothes and placed them inside, thus avoiding his current bare appearance.

Tang Lie was in a state of panic, the scenery before him became blurred, and he faintly heard the sound of a ship's whistle. Tang Lie felt an extreme sense of regret; he had just made a choice, and unexpectedly, a ship passed by. However, he no longer had the opportunity to regret. Suddenly, everything went dark, and Tang Lie's body seemed to be drawn into an endless black hole.

Before he could fully raise the handgun, the giant ape had already dashed in front of him like lightning, delivering a punch to his abdomen. Tang Lie was sent flying through the air, landing on a branch that broke under his weight, crashing heavily to the ground at the feet of the giant ape

Tang Lie continuously poured cold water over his underwear; by this means, he could alleviate the swelling pain in his lower body. He had been exiled to this deserted island for a full day, and he began to show signs of edema. If this situation persisted, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if he could recover in the future, there was no guarantee that he would not be left with aftereffects. Perhaps he would never again be a complete man

The ankle suddenly tightened, clearly caught by the gorilla. The strength of Tang Lie was simply too disparate compared to that of the gorilla, which effortlessly pulled him back.

Your rejection of it signifies an insult to it; Weigang is the future ruler of this community, and it cannot accept this insult

You can help me explain it to him/her

The white ape slowly approached Tang Lie, reached out, and pulled him up. The giant gorilla appeared to show considerable respect towards it, obediently lowering its head.

A raindrop the size of a yellow bean fell on his face, sliding to the edge of his lips. Tang Lie extended his tongue and took a lick; it was salty and astringent, much like the complex emotions he felt at that moment

Although there are some medications in the first aid kit, most of them have expired due to the passage of time. Tang Lie, with a mindset of taking a risk, took some medications that were supposed to be effective for his condition, but unfortunately, they provided no relief whatsoever.

The white ape sighed: "In fact, Weigang had good intentions; he saved me from the brink of death. To express his gratitude, he offered you his most beautiful wife, but unexpectedly, you rejected her."

Before he could prepare himself, his body had already plunged into a warm pool of water, the immense impact causing the spring water to splash out in all directions. Tang Lie sank to the bottom of the pool before gradually rising to the surface.

Tang Lie finally realized the seriousness of the situation. If the white ape died, there would be no one to help him. To continue surviving on the island, he had to integrate into the world of the gorillas. Thinking of the mother gorilla's toothy grin made Tang Lie feel overwhelmed. He was acutely aware of his current state; if he continued to stay on this isolated island, he would be unable to control the ever-expanding desires within him. One day, he would inevitably commit acts that went against morality.

Let me go! Tang Lie's resistance appeared feeble and powerless; although he continued to protest verbally, deep down he wished he could surrender immediately

Everything comes down to his cynical nature, had he been able to foresee the current outcome

Tang Lie spread the blanket he found on the plane and comfortably fell asleep. Outside, footsteps could be heard. Tang Lie grasped his pistol and cautiously asked, "Who is it?"

The giant gorilla lifted its foot and forcefully stomped down towards Tang Lie's head

The white ape patted his shoulder and said, "Leave here while the situation has not yet worsened."

Tang Lie was at a loss for words; that female gorilla was, in any perspective, completely disconnected from beauty. It turns out that the aesthetic standards of gorillas differ so greatly from those of humans.

Tang Liexin said with a hint of hope: "You can help me explain to them!"

An enticing body fragrance wafted into Tang Lie's nostrils. He turned his head and saw, not far from the edge of the water pool, a fair and glistening figure lying on the grass.

From the surrounding water stains, it can be inferred that this woman was just taking a bath when she was splashed out of the pool along with the water by the sudden arrival of Tang Lie, and fell onto the shore, losing consciousness.

Gazing at Qin Yuanyuan's grave, Tang Lie could not help but be filled with tears. His sorrow was not only for Qin Yuanyuan's tragic death but also for his own unfortunate fate

The white ape slowly shook its head: "My time is drawing near. After my death, no one will maintain you. You have your principles, you have your moral bottom line, and so do the others like Weigang. If you cannot integrate with them, it means you will be cast aside by them..."

The white ape took a step forward and said, "Young man, you do not belong here; Wei Gang and his kind are the true masters of this land!" The white ape turned his head and gazed at Tang Lie, saying, "By giving you his wife, it signifies that he has accepted you into his tribe. To refuse him is to refuse to become one of them, to reject this land."

Tang Lie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear, "Thanks to your timely appearance, otherwise I would have been in serious trouble"

He roughly estimated that Yin Tianlong had injected a total of approximately 200 grams of Spry into his body, a dosage sufficient to incite the spring fever of two hundred elephants. Yet, he is merely a normal person weighing 160 pounds, and the fact that he is still alive in this world is already a stroke of luck for him

It is unclear how much time has passed, but once again, Tang Lie found himself engulfed in darkness. A faint glimmer swiftly tore through the suffocating blackness, and his hearing was restored.

The furious roar of the giant gorilla came from behind, its long black fur bristling with rage. Clearly infuriated to the utmost, it accelerated its limbs, pounding the ground with a thudding sound, charging at full speed towards Tang Lie.

The woman, in pain, opened her eyes and was horrified to see a man with bloodshot eyes preparing to launch a full-scale attack on her body

The raindrops became denser, and a strange blue radiance enveloped Tang Lie. The brilliance grew stronger, emanating from every pore of his body, and he was instantly engulfed in the agony of being torn into countless pieces. The rain began to swirl around him, weaving a thin, transparent curtain of water. The blue light radiated outward, and from a distance, Tang Lie appeared to be encased in a blue and transparent cocoon. The rain began to swirl around him, weaving a thin, transparent curtain of water.

The gorilla's larynx emitted deep and intense gasps

Tang Lie began to reminisce about the past world filled with bright lights and flowing wine, his will constantly battling against the intense desires within his heart

Tang Liegui returned to the grave of Qin Yuanyuan as if guided by a supernatural force. The white ape had little time left in this world, and he had to make a decision immediately

Night has fallen, and Tang Lie used a small knife from his toolbox to cut down some branches, temporarily erecting a shelter next to the stone house. The white ape holds a high status among the gorilla group, and no gorilla dares to easily disturb its rest.

At a critical moment, a series of violent coughs was heard, and it was the white ape who trembled as it walked out of the stone house

At the moment when Tang Lie's will was about to collapse, he felt the pistol at his waist, pulled the trigger towards the ground, and the loud sound of the bullet startled the female gorilla, leaving her frozen for a while before she finally came to her senses and screamed as she fled from the shelter.

It felt as if a flame was burning within his abdomen, scorching his internal organs. Tang Lie, in a state of panic, removed his shirt and saw that the color of his lower abdomen had turned blue, with a faint glow emanating outward.

The young woman remained motionless, seemingly still in a state of unconsciousness, as depicted in the illustration. Tang Lie gently turned the young woman's delicate body.

When the female gorilla fled in panic, she repeatedly collided with the shelter, which could not withstand the impact and collapsed with a loud crash, trapping Tang Lie beneath it

After a brief moment of visual blindness, normalcy was swiftly restored, and the vibrant hues of seven colors rushed past Tang Lie's back. He felt as if he should be flying, with no sound reaching his ears, surrounded by a deathly silence. Tang Lie was unaware of when this situation would end, or if it would end at all, as his heart sank into a painful wait and torment.

"It's done, now I won't be burned to death, but I will be thrown to death!" Tang Lie shouted from the depths of his heart

The gorilla approached Tang Lie's face, baring its teeth and grimacing.

The diamond grew increasingly hot in Tang Lie's mouth. Just as he intended to spit it out, he was taken aback to find the diamond rapidly melting, as if it were a living entity, deftly burrowing into his body.

Even at this moment, his mind is still filled with the passionate scenes with Qin Yuanyuan. If it were not for his strong will, he might truly commit acts worse than those of a beast

The giant ape's large foot remained suspended in mid-air, and the upright fur gradually settled down.

Tang Lie did not know how he had angered it; the situation was critical, and he raised his pistol once again

"Get away from me!" Tang Lie was frightened and shrank into a corner of the shelter, but the female gorilla could not understand his language and thought that Tang Lie was giving her some kind of signal. Her hairy body pressed toward Tang Lie like a small mountain. Tang Lie tried to escape, but the exit was blocked by her. He desperately pushed aside the dry branches and managed to stick his head out.

Tang Lie arrived at the open grassland. Following the reminder from the white ape, he placed the first aid equipment and essential supplies from the first aid kit into the satchel given to him by the white ape, and finally took out the blue diamond.

A sudden thunderclap echoed in the sky, and dark clouds swiftly covered the heavens, signaling the imminent arrival of a storm.
