Another day passed.

Xu Jing had thoroughly studied the maps he had obtained, found the address of the Gene Systems Company and the location of the Golden Gate Bridge, and memorized all the routes in his mind.

When all orangutans have taken ALZ-113 and their intelligence improves, they learn to think, and their minds become complex.

If Xu Jing can't make up his mind about the retreat route and some actions in the future, or he doesn't even know the way, how can he convince the public.

In the dead of night, he left the shelter again and ran along the road.

Remembering the map doesn't mean that he knows the road, and for a big city like San Francisco, he still needs a lot of time to figure out the environment.

As a chimpanzee, the most convenient thing is that he can climb agilely, and he has left his footprints on the rooftops of tall buildings, the tops of large trees, many high places with a wide view, and even he has crossed the whole of San Francisco back and forth overnight by hitchhiking.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Xu Jing stole some more food and returned to the shelter before dawn.

Time passed.

About a month after Xu Jing came to this world, Caesar was finally forcibly sent to the shelter because of an accidental injury incident.

He is also a chimpanzee, and perhaps because Will raised him as a family member and is well-nourished, he is taller and stronger than most orangutans in the shelter.

In addition, his eyes are green, more human than Morris, and his IQ is not inferior to that of humans.

Caesar had not used genetic drugs, and his birth was an accident, when Genomic Systems hired people to capture a large number of orangutans from the forest for experiments while Will was working on ALZ-112.

One of the pregnant female orangutans was also caught in the lab and became the first orangutan to be injected with drugs.

But no one knew that she gave birth to a baby orangutan in the laboratory where she was imprisoned, and because she was worried that humans would harm her child, the mother orangutan was killed on the spot because of her excessive protective reaction.

Following this incident, Genomic Systems forcibly suspended Will's research on ALZ-112 and ordered to euthanize all remaining orangutans.

Franklin, the assistant and orangutan-keeper who carried out the order, found the newborn orangutan, and he couldn't bear to kill it, so he handed the baby gorilla over to Will, who couldn't bear to take the baby gorilla back to raise it, and named it Caesar.

Caesar's genes were inherited from female orangutans who had been given the ALZ-112 drug, and they were more intelligent, showing signs of high intelligence from birth.

By the age of eighteen months, he had learned twenty-four words of sign language, and by the age of two, he was able to complete a model game designed for a human child over the age of eight, and by the age of three, he had cognitive abilities that were completely beyond those of his peers, and could complete the Tower of Hanoi with a perfect score of fifteen moves, and he played chess very well.

Will researched ALZ-112 to treat his father Charles, who had Alzheimer's disease, and after discovering Caesar's inherited high IQ, he began to continue his research at home, and finally ventured to steal the drug from the laboratory and use it on Charles.

The results were successful, and ALZ-112 not only treated Charles's Alzheimer's disease, but also improved his memory, showing incredible efficacy.

Caesar was now eight years old, and his emotions were so rich that he was completely indistinguishable from humans, and he was perfectly able to understand human language, but he could not speak it yet.

But this is actually the beginning, Xu Jing knows that Caesar's brain is still being further developed, and it will not be long before he can speak like a human.

The drug isn't just about repairing the brain, for apes, it's a drug that mutates their genes.

After Doug locked Caesar in the empty cage next to Xu Jing, his mouth began to imitate the sound of "oh oh oh".

He had abused other orangutans in his daily life, and for the orangutans around him, hearing his provocative voice, he suddenly became furious.

In an instant, except for Xu Jing, the orangutans in the surrounding cages jumped up and down frantically, roaring angrily, and constantly smashing the cages.

"Stupid monkey!"

Doug said sarcastically to a bewildered Caesar, then turned and walked away.

By the time he reached the exit, chaos had spread around Xu Jing, plunging the entire room into a noisy and tyrannical environment.

Caesar was the first time he had seen his kind, but he didn't expect it to be such an environment, and he was suddenly affected, and a violent mood rose in his heart for no reason, and then he also fell into madness.

At the exit, Doug's frantically excited roar came from afar: "Is this all you have to do?" Let the horses come! This is the madhouse, this is the madhouse! Hahaha......"

Xu Jing watched coldly, he didn't suppress the anger of the surrounding orangutans at the beginning, he still knew that the gun shot the first bird.

Although he was not afraid of Doug, if there was a conflict, if he did not want to suffer like Caesar, he would inevitably rebel, but in this way he would expose himself.

In a little while, ALZ-113 will be brought out of the laboratory by Will, and Xu Jing can't think of asking for trouble because of a small loss.

It wasn't until Doug left that he let out a long hiss, ending the chaos, and had been here for nearly a month, where he and Morris had spoken a lot, and had learned the meaning of some of the roars among the orangutans.

Although Caesar's IQ is comparable to that of humans, he is still an orangutan in the end, not fully civilized, and will be affected by some instincts, and the environment around him gradually quiets down, so that he is calm and sober.

He turned his head in surprise and looked at Xu Jing in the cage next door, his eyes flickering, as if he understood something.

Xu Jing approached and asked in sign language, "What's your name?" ”

"Caesar." Caesar's face was even more surprised, "You also know sign language?" ”

Xu Jing nodded, not hiding his intentions at all: "My name is King Kong, and I am the leader here, you will listen to me in the future." ”

Today's Caesar has no idea of competing for the leader at all, he just wants to go home, and in the correct history in the future, his changes are all oppressed by the external environment, and he has embarked on the road of leading the orangutans to resist and rise step by step.

Never conquering in his heart, he was always seeking space, peace, and reproduction, and he taught all orangutans not to kill each other, and even if they were abused by Doug, he was still full of kindness to humans and prevented any orangutans from killing.

So for Xu Jing's direct request, Caesar just thought about it and agreed.

Like a human, he wanted to shake hands with Xu Jing, but after seeing the narrow gap between the two cages, he gave up.

Xu Jing grinned and patted the cage, not caring about it.
