Everything was still undecided when the roaring Long-Haired Big Monkey approached the two large iron gates at the outer perimeter of the camp.
Fatty had seized control of the Heavy Machine Gun group, declaring himself the leader. He immediately commanded eight Heavy Machine Guns to fire bursts of flames towards the Long-Haired Big Monkey.
The Gorilla had very tough fur, which Fatty and his team had already known before arriving at Jiangbei Hospital. However, Fatty did not expect that the Gorilla's fur could withstand bullets from a large-caliber Heavy Machine Gun. This was truly beyond Fatty's expectations.
As Fatty noticed many scabbed wounds on the Gorilla, he speculated that these injuries were caused by the collapse of the medical center building.
Realizing this, Fatty steadied one of the Heavy Machine Guns and shouted to those behind him, "Hold it steady for me!"
Fatty was treating the Heavy Machine Gun like a Submachine Gun, and fortunately, someone was there to support him; otherwise, just the weight of this machine gun would have been too much for him!
He aimed at the scabbed areas on the Gorilla and, as expected, where the wounds were scabbed, the fur had broken. It was the most vulnerable spot. Hundreds of bullets flew out and directly penetrated its tough skin.
The Gorilla roared in anger and turned its furious gaze towards Fatty.
"Ugh!" With a swing of its long arms, the Gorilla charged at Fatty, and astonishingly, the thick wall made of high-strength concrete was swept down by its powerful arms.
Standing on top of the wall, Fatty lost his balance and fell backward. The remaining men fared even worse than him; their Heavy Machine Guns were all destroyed.
Seeing this made Fatty feel heartbroken. As he landed on the ground, he couldn't help but shout, "That hurts like hell!"
Falling from a height of over three meters, it was impossible not to feel pain. After rolling on the ground, he quickly got back up. Unfortunately, he couldn't lift the Heavy Machine Gun off himself.
Previously, while on top of the wall, his few shots had only served to anger the Gorilla, causing no substantial damage whatsoever.
The Gorilla, about the size of a truck, stood five to six meters tall and weighed between eight to ten tons. With its long arms and legs, strong and powerful build, combined with a primate's brain, it was clear that such an opponent would not be easy to deal with!
As Fatty casually fired off hundreds of bullets, only a few hit Gorilla's scabbed wounds. It seemed that Gorilla had an incredibly strange physique; the bullets, which were only about the length of half a finger, could only penetrate two or three inches deep, with the rest getting stuck outside, akin to scratching an itch through a boot!
Fatty cursed under his breath, "Damn it, this monster is really tough. With gear like that, how am I supposed to fight? Should I just charge at it headfirst?"
While Fatty was lamenting, Li Nan had already stepped forward, holding a Desert Eagle in his right hand and an axe in his left, which he had somehow grabbed. He charged directly at Gorilla.
After knocking down a high wall, Gorilla shifted its gaze and instead of dealing with the two large iron doors, it turned around and took big strides over the broken wall, seemingly having caught the scent of fresh human flesh from the camp and was ecstatic.
Li Nan, wielding the axe, shouted, "Spread out! Don't waste your efforts; I'll hold it off first!"
Understanding the command, Fatty immediately got up from the ground and shouted to the remaining brothers who still had some fight left in them, "Grab your weapons and keep firing! Aim for Gorilla's scabbed wounds! Hit its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!"
Although the effectiveness of gunfire was not very apparent, it was the only way to deal with Gorilla for now.
Li Nan leaped into the air and landed steadily while bringing down the axe hard onto Gorilla's foot.
The axe blade struck Gorilla's foot as if it were hitting marble; although it didn't spark instantly, it caused no damage whatsoever!
Gorilla lifted its foot, which was about the size of a basin, seemingly amused. Li Nan's attack was probably only enough to trim its toenails!
Then Gorilla let out an angry roar and kicked out with one foot, aiming to send Li Nan flying. However, Li Nan would not give it that chance; he used his lower body for leverage and flipped onto Gorilla's back.
Fortunately for him, Gorilla was covered in long hair. Grabbing a handful of it with one hand allowed Li Nan to stabilize himself quite well.
Unable to see Li Nan, Gorilla became extremely furious and swung its long arms back and forth but couldn't even catch a glimpse of him.
Meanwhile, Fatty dropped his hand gesture and said, "Don't shoot yet, be careful not to hit Brother Nan!"
As he spoke, two more people emerged behind Fatty, namely Scarface and Mighty Bull.
Seeing the Long-Haired Big Monkey in front of him, Scarface laughed and said, "Damn, is this Sun Wukong? Then I must be Tathagata Buddha. How about we take this guy down today and have some monkey brain for dinner!"
It was unclear where Scarface's confidence came from, or if he was just making a few jokes to boost his own morale. However, Mighty Bull found it quite amusing. "Scarface, you decide what to do today; I'm following your lead!"
Scarface smiled wryly and replied, "What else can we do? Should I teach you how to approach a big girl? Just charge right in!"
Mighty Bull understood and shouted, "Alright!" He immediately charged forward, gripping a seven or eight-meter-long rebar that he had pulled from the collapsed concrete wall.
Although Scarface had appeared cowardly when Liu Long was in trouble, that would be underestimating him. Scarface was also a man of courage; years ago, in a fit of rage, he had killed someone and ended up in prison. However, he never backed down and was known as a tough guy even in jail. It was only because Liu Long had been keeping him in check that he had remained subdued.
Scarface and Liu Long had known each other for about seven or eight years. They had formed a bond in prison but after the apocalypse, Scarface had indeed mellowed out because he started a family. The woman he met in the camp was already pregnant, and the child growing in her womb changed Scarface significantly.
For the sake of his unborn child, Scarface naturally did not want to die easily. As a man who had walked down many wrong paths, he became particularly traditional regarding his wife and child. He wanted to provide for his family and ensure they could live safely through the apocalypse.
It was precisely because of their reliance on the camp that Scarface's family could stay together and continue on. He understood the significance of the camp; his wife and unborn child were reasons enough for him to feel desperate. That was why he had been begging Brother Nan for mercy—he truly felt pitiful, not for himself but for the future of his wife and child!
Now Scarface realized that if the camp fell, everything would be lost—his wife and his unborn child. Therefore, he needed to fight with all his might to protect this camp. He had to fulfill his responsibilities as a man; as a warrior in the camp, he needed to embody the spirit of a soldier at critical moments. He wanted to tell his unborn child: "Hey, your dad is not a coward; he's a hero—a great hero defending the camp!"
With this thought in mind, Scarface stood before Gorilla with a sudden smile on his face—a look that might be the last expression he left for the world as a man.
Scarface raised his submachine gun, bullets flying out like arrows towards Gorilla; however, they seemed completely ineffective against him.
Although the bullets flying out seemed to be merely tickling the Gorilla, it was filled with rage, clearly directing all its frustration from being toyed with by Li Nan onto Scar. It roared and swung its long arms directly at Scar.
At that moment, as the Gorilla attacked, the massive monkey suddenly leaned forward, pressing its upper body down as if it intended to swallow Scar whole. Just then, Scar shouted loudly to Mighty Bull, "Quick, now's your chance! Stab its eyes!"
Scar knew that bullets wouldn't harm the Gorilla, so when it lunged forward, he immediately thought of this strategy, and to his surprise, it worked just as he hoped!
Hearing Scar's voice, Mighty Bull shouted back, "Run! Get out of here!"
To keep the Gorilla occupied and create an opportunity for Mighty Bull, Scar stood his ground, waiting for the roaring Gorilla to come crashing down.
"Damn it!" Mighty Bull cursed under his breath. Seeing the Gorilla lower its body and its eyes within range of the rebar in his hands, he acted without hesitation and thrust it forward with all his might, aiming straight for the Gorilla's left eye!
With a loud thud, the Gorilla's hands slammed down onto the ground while Scar stood defiantly but was crushed into a puddle of blood. Meanwhile, Mighty Bull gritted his teeth as he drove the seven or eight-meter-long rebar into the Gorilla's left eye socket.
Seeing his attack succeed, Mighty Bull roared in triumph, "Damn it! Watch me smash your monkey brain!" After that, he lifted both feet off the ground and put all his strength into pressing down on the rebar. He was confident that he could pierce through the Gorilla's skull!
Mighty Bull was filled with rage; he had witnessed Scar turn into a pile of mush right before his eyes. This anger completely ignited him. He wanted revenge for Scar; he couldn't let Scar die in vain. He needed to kill this damned monkey and consume its flesh and drink its marrow to quench his thirst for vengeance!
Just when Mighty Bull thought this move would surely kill the Gorilla, it unleashed a strange strength and flung Mighty Bull away from the other end of the rebar. He crashed heavily onto the fallen concrete wall base and spat out a mouthful of blood. Meanwhile, the Gorilla let out a mournful cry and single-handedly pulled out the rebar from its left eye socket. Blood gushed from its eye socket, spraying five or six meters away!
