Chapter 249 I want to hurry up

 Zhao Meng didn’t want to see what was inside.

If he were a human man, he might also go in and visit the area with red neon lights.

However, he is not a human at this time, just an orangutan.

And it’s just a five-year-old orangutan, so there’s no point in entering here.

 As the night progresses, more and more vehicles are around, and humans all around gather here.

 Zhao Meng was not surprised to see so many human males gathering here.

During this period, he visited all over this place, surrounded by lumber camps, gold miners, open-pit coal mines, volcanic sulfur mines, and other large-scale industries.

There are not many large-scale machinery in these industries, and most of them are collected by humans.

Zhao Meng made a rough estimate that the total number of employees in these mines is tens of thousands.

More importantly, Zhao Meng discovered that almost all of these workers were men. Until now, he had not seen a single female human being.

 Wherever there are people, there is demand. In such an environment, some extended industries will inevitably emerge.

“But where are the people willing to come here to serve these workers?”

 Looking at these brown-skinned people, they look dirty from long hours of hard work.

Zhao Meng had a hard time imagining that the difficulty, intensity, and harshness of the work of the workers working in this neon area might be a bit worse than the work of these workers.

 “Who wants to come here?”

 “Human trafficking?”

 “Slave contract!”

 “That’s all, human affairs have nothing to do with me!”

If he, as a human being, finds this kind of area in modern society and upholds a simple sense of morality, he will definitely expose this matter.

But this is just a simulation. As an orangutan, this matter has nothing to do with him.

At this time, Zhao Meng confirmed the direction and prepared to leave. After all, these humans had been hunting orangutans crazily since he was born.

 It is too close to human settlements and is likely to encounter misfortune.

Just when Zhao Meng climbed up the tree and was about to jump far away, there seemed to be a faint roar coming from the camp:

 “Oh~oh~”

 “Oh~”

"Um!?"

Hearing such a sound, Zhao Meng immediately stopped and looked back.

"That is…"

It would have been better if Zhao Meng had not stopped. When he turned around, the entire orangutan stayed there.

 In the camp, a bonfire had been lit to drive away the damp air around them.

 The workers are toasting to celebrate and singing on their rare day off. There should have been female companions at such a party.

But what Zhao Meng saw was that orangutans, many orangutans, many shaved orangutans, were dressed in human clothes by these humans.

"this…"

Zhao Meng didn't come back to his senses for a long time after seeing this scene.

 “That’s it!”

 Fortunately, he also experienced the simulation of Teqi. Regarding this situation, he finally calmed down after being lost for a moment.

 “Humanity! Humanity!”

“This kind of thing can actually be done!”

Zhao Meng really couldn’t imagine that humans would actually use orangutans as workers.

 Although he always encounters strange things in simulations, the situation in this simulation has exceeded his understanding of the world.

“It’s impossible for this kind of thing to happen in my previous life!”

“There are people who actually use orangutans as workers.”

Zhao Meng calmed down a little and continued to observe.

 Speaking of which, orangutans are also strange. Although they have red hair, if the red hair is removed, they have very white skin.

In addition, the size of orangutans is close to humans. Although they look ugly, they are not in good shape after wearing a mask.

  But for these laborers who have been working in the rainforest for a long time, there is nothing to be picky about.

  After all, normal human women are not willing to come to such a harsh tropical rainforest area.

What's more, earthquakes here are frequent and volcanoes are in a state of erupting at any time. This place is simply not suitable for human settlement.

Had it not been for the huge resources brought by the volcanoes and forests, these workers would not have appeared here.

"what to do?"

Looking at the orangutans who had been trained to be very docile, Zhao Meng, who came back to his senses, felt a trace of anger out of instinct.

Looking at the camp with people running around, Zhao Meng knew very well that in his current state, it was impossible to use force, and he could only use outsmarts.

　　【In April of the seventh year, the volcanoes on the island are becoming more and more active, and you feel an unprecedented threat. 】

At this time, on a high cliff on the coast, a strong figure was sitting there,

If this figure wasn't covered in hair, and just from the kinked state of his muscles, he would probably be mistaken for a strange, well-trained human with a short stature.

 But unfortunately, his red hair has already identified him as the orangutan—Zhao Meng.

 “Seven years old!”

Zhao Meng slowly opened his eyes, and the scene he saw two years ago unconsciously appeared in his mind.

At that time, he was a little impulsive and wanted to save the orangutans that were imprisoned by humans.

 But then, Zhao Meng discovered a problem. He was only five years old at the time.

The breeding cycles of orangutans and humans are similar. At the age of five, he is too young to do anything. Apart from irritating humans, he cannot achieve effective simulation achievements.

Although he couldn't do anything, Zhao Meng still didn't give up and continued to try to explore the human camp.

  After all, it is necessary to collect some in advance for the sake of your own race.

 Zhao Meng acted very carefully, but he was still discovered by humans.

  He originally thought he would be killed, after all he was a male orangutan, but for some reason he was bought by some strange humans.

Those who underestimated his human wisdom, when those humans were about to shave his hair, he took the opportunity to stay and leave.

 Now, two more years have passed since I escaped from there.

 But looking back now, Zhao Meng was still a little scared. At that time, he was even ready to end the simulation on his own initiative.

 “Some things are really scarier than being eaten!”

Zhao Meng sighed as he thought of something.

 The waves were beating against the rocks below. Zhao Meng stood up and glanced at the volcano emitting thick smoke in the rain forest in the distance.

 In the past two years, Zhao Meng conducted some exploration of this area, and he was basically sure that it was a huge island.

This island is not very wide from north to south, but it is very long from southeast to northwest. It took Zhao Meng a long time to find the end.

 The strange thing is that there are basically no large human cities on this big island.

 Some of them were gathering places he had encountered before. What was even more strange was that Zhao Meng did not see the port where goods were transported to and from.

 In this case, he basically judged that this was a special area constructed by the simulation system.

“What will happen if I build a raft and escape from here?”

Looking at the blue sky in the distance, Zhao Meng shook his head gently and stopped thinking, and continued the simulation. 【In September of the eighth year, the volcano seems to have stabilized, and your life has temporarily stabilized】

Zhao Meng glanced at the distant volcano. He didn’t care much about the systematically described volcanic threat.

This island is very big, so big that he can hide in an area where he can barely see the volcano. So even if the volcano erupts, he can continue to survive.

“The volcano has stabilized, maybe we should go back and take a look!”

Zhao Meng was helpless. After several years of exploration, he discovered a terrible fact.

These humans, damn, they’ve captured all the female orangutans. In the past, he could meet one, but in the past year, he has not met any.

 “Don’t these humans understand sustainable development? They must fish all the water!”

 “It’s also breeding that has a lot of impact on making money!”

Orangutan gestation period is as long as that of humans, and orangutan offspring, like humans, take more than ten years to function normally.

 For the rulers of those areas, spending so much time and effort cultivating a new orangutan,

 Where there is the convenience of direct arrest, it doesn’t matter even if they are exterminated, the money has already been earned.

“Humans will not easily set foot in that area, and there should be survivors.”

  【In October of the ninth year, you risked your life and came to the vicinity of the volcanic area. 】

"Gone!"

 Zhao Meng has been searching around the volcano for several months.

 He ​​did not find new orangutans. It is unknown that the orangutans escaped here due to the volcanic activity some time ago.

  Or being captured by humans, in short, there is no result he wants here.

 “Now we’re in trouble!”

Just when Zhao Meng was worried about something, a familiar roar came from the distant mountain forest.

"besides!"

 …

Zhao Meng jumped in the forest with excitement. In a hidden mountain stream, Zhao Meng saw a lone orangutan.

This orangutan is hiding from something on the cliff.

 “It’s human!”

Zhao Meng saw several humans below and were trying to capture the orangutan, but because the orangutan was in a very tricky position,

The rocks below are rugged, and humans are afraid that using a tranquilizer gun will kill them, so they are very cautious.

Seeing that the tribesmen were trapped, Zhao Meng did not hesitate too much. He observed the surrounding terrain and found that there seemed to be some protruding rocks on the other side of the mountain stream.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Meng rushed to that place.

He found the cliff and looked down. Below him was where several human beings were.

There was a huge stone on the cliff. Zhao Meng tried to push the stone down, but the weight of the stone exceeded his physical limit.

The humans below were still shouting and throwing things near the orangutan, as if to drive the orangutan away.

 And the orangutan was also very panicked and wanted to run away at any time.

 Once they escape from that place, these humans will be able to find the shooting angle of the tranquilizer gun.

At this moment, there was a loud noise from the mountain, and a huge stone was seen rolling down towards where several humans were.

Several humans who were originally paying attention to the orangutans saw this scene, screamed and ran away.

The terrain here in the mountains close to the volcano is already rugged. Although the rocks did not hit anyone,

 But one of the leading humans accidentally stepped into a deep pit and was hit hard while escaping.

I don’t know whether it was a fracture or a sprain, but the human was howling in pain, and the tranquilizer gun in his hand was thrown aside.

The falling rocks not only alarmed the humans, but also alarmed the orangutans on the cliff. The orangutans, who were already very panicked, escaped from their hiding place and headed towards the dense forest.

At this time, the orangutans, which humans could not care about escaping, came to the injured and were concerned about their injuries.

Seeing the orangutan escaping on the cliff, Zhao Meng threw aside the wooden stick in his hand that was used as a stick and hurriedly chased after it.

 …

 “Three days!”

Zhao Meng has been following the orangutan for three days.

During this period of time, the orangutan kept running away. It was obvious that she was stressed, and Zhao Meng did not dare to follow her too closely.

While following, Zhao Meng had already determined that this was a young female orangutan, who should have just grown up.

  Probably between 16 and 18.

“Thanks to being a female, if only I could save a male!”

"Well…"

Of course, for Zhao Meng, saving the male is nothing, it is just a simulation that is not conducive to him.

 …

 “Hey! She stopped!”

Zhao Meng followed for a while and found that the orangutan finally settled down.

Zhao Meng then slowly came into contact with them. It turned out that the interaction process of orangutans was somewhat similar to that of humans.

 First it’s giving gifts, then holding hands, and then…

 In short, orangutans do not have as complex minds as human women, and Zhao Meng quickly conquered them.

They were tired of being together, but when it came to the last step, Zhao Meng was unable to achieve the simulated achievement.

 “Damn it, it’s still too small!”

Zhao Meng is only nine years old now. Even after special training and constant eating, his size is no different from that of an average adult orangutan.

 Unfortunately, body shape cannot determine his size, and his actual age is still only nine years old.

At this time, the orangutan was rubbing against his chest, seeming to be craving for something.

However, as a nine-year-old, he could not do anything he could promise.

 【In the twelfth year, you are very anxious and eager to grow up】

 A few years later, Zhao Meng’s anxiety was felt in the simulation system.

 But the laws of nature are so easy to overcome, outsiders have no way of knowing how Zhao Meng spent the past three years.

 He heard that there was something that could promote growth, so he tried to eat this type of thing.

 But the growth was not achieved and almost killed him. Zhao Meng had no choice but to give up and continue to exercise his body.

"Soon!"

 “I can feel it coming!”

 “Ho ho!”

Zhao Meng called out,

"Whoa whoa!"

 After receiving the response, Zhao Meng rushed towards the mother orangutan.

During this period, Zhao Meng took the female orangutan everywhere to avoid humans.

 The female orangutan also followed him smoothly. Zhao Meng felt that if he continued like this, his simulation would be successful soon.

 【In April of the thirteenth year, your body has further developed, and you have finally reached the time you have dreamed of】

The rumbling sound echoed through the sky, and Zhao Meng couldn't care less about what he longed for most at this time.

The volcano that had been active erupted at this very important time.

Facing an important node in the simulation, he might be able to brave the lava and flying rocks to do something, but the female orangutan could not be as unrestrained as him. The female orangutan was obviously panicked and ran away regardless of her life...
