Chapter 872: Chapter 357 Mechanical Monkey_2 Chapter 872: Chapter 357 Mechanical Monkey_2 —————-

After Yan Fei used the unmanned Spider Platform to lure away the High Priest, the remaining Dream Island hostages boarded another Spider Platform, which then sped towards the coast of Eastern Kenya. Unlike the conspicuous Spider Platform that lured away the High Priest and headed west, this Spider Platform was very low-key. It carefully avoided satellite reconnaissance the entire way, thus not attracting any attention from others.

More than half an hour later, the Spider Platform finally emerged from the continuous mountain ranges and arrived at a remote beach on the coast of Eastern Kenya. The beach was surrounded by mountains, making it inaccessible and very quiet. Once at the beach, the Spider Platform curled up into a ball and hid under a giant rock, waiting there for Yan Fei to complete his task and come to take the Dream Island hostages away.

When the Dream Island hostages had just been rescued, they were somewhat worried because they were unclear about who the owner of the Spider Platform was. However, after finding food and water inside the Spider Platform and feeling the safety of the journey, they gradually relaxed and were no longer as concerned.

Once the Spider Platform had hidden itself, the hostages immediately started eating and drinking from the supplies found inside. They had been in a state of captivity and were now ravenously hungry, so they began to consume the food.

Though the Spider Platform was hiding under a boulder, there was a hard, semi-transparent glass cover outside its control room. They could see out, but those outside couldn't see in. The hostages, feeling extremely insecure, kept alert and watched the outside while eating.

In the following time, through the glass cover, the hostages witnessed a terrifying volcanic eruption. The smoke from the erupting volcano surged into the sky and spread rapidly in all directions. Then, the sky in the distance began to change; everywhere was covered with volcanic ash, completely hiding the sun from view as if it were the end of the world. This was followed by a frightening earthquake that violently shook the entire Spider Platform, causing the hostages to be terrified.

In the end, the volcanic ash in the sky drifted above the beach, obscuring the sun above. However, 20 kilometers out to sea, the sky was clear with blue sky and white clouds, sharply contrasting the two scenarios and creating a very eerie sight.

Noticing the terrifying change in weather outside, the hostages began to worry. One person asked, “Do you think it's safe here? Why hasn't anyone come to pick us up yet?”

Although Yan Fei was hiding among the cloud clusters to evade the searcher with control over lightning, he constantly monitored the hostages' situation through the Dream Island Satellite and Artificial Intelligence “Dream.” Seeing that the hostages were becoming anxious, he immediately spoke through the Spider Platform's speaker, “Everyone, please stay calm. You are very safe right now. The person who will escort you out will soon appear, and you will soon be able to return to your families on Dream Island.”

With the assurance from the mysterious owner of the Spider Platform, the hostages finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had suffered a lot after being abducted innocently, compounded by the deaths of colleagues around them, pushing them close to the edge of a mental breakdown. It was only after the reassuring words from the mysterious owner of the Spider Platform that they managed to stabilize their minds; otherwise, continuing in such fear might indeed have driven them insane.

Although they were no longer as tense as before, their worries would persist until their return to Dream Island. And so, they continued observing the outside through the glass cover.

Suddenly, one person pointed in a direction and said, “There seems to be something strange on that mountain over there. Can you guys help me see what exactly it is?”

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed. With the volcanic ash obstructing their view, it was hard to see clearly, but among them was a person with very good eyesight who, despite the ash, indeed spotted the odd thing.

After rubbing his eyes and looking carefully at the object a few more times, the person said uncertainly, “The thing on the slope looks like a monkey, but at the same time, it doesn't seem like one because it's moving extremely fast, and it's jumping at quite a high altitude.”

Following the guide's pointing, everyone looked more closely and indeed saw a golden-haired monkey running wildly on a distant slope. The monkey was dashing in a straight line, leaping over any ravines in its path.

After realizing the target was a monkey, everyone let their guard down, thinking they were being a bit paranoid. How could a monkey possibly threaten their safety?

Suddenly, one of them said, “No, that's not an ordinary monkey. It's huge, at least 5 meters tall.”

Everyone was stunned, saying, “That's impossible, right? How can there be a monkey that's 5 meters tall in the world? Wouldn't it be as tall as a two-story building? Even the world's largest chimpanzee couldn't be that tall…”

The person said, “I just picked a reference object, calculated the monkey's data, and came up with its specific data. It is still 5 kilometers away from us, and yes, it's really 5 meters tall. What's more unbelievable is that the monkey is running down the hillside at a speed of 500 kilometers/hour.”

This person was a math whiz with formidable data processing skills, so everyone tended to trust his calculations. Then, they all turned pale with shock, and someone said, “A height of 5 meters could perhaps be explained by a genetic mutation, but how could its speed reach 500 kilometers/hour? That's even faster than those so-called sports cars, isn't it?”

The person retorted, “If you don't believe it, just look for yourselves!”

Upon closer observation, they noticed that in a very short time, the monkey had covered a vast distance and was now much closer to them. With the decreased distance, they could immediately see that the monkey was much larger, and its speed as it ran forward was lightning-fast. Whenever it encountered any obstructing rocks or trees, the monkey didn't dodge but charged straight through, destroying everything in its path. It looked incredibly violent.

After seeing the monkey's enormous size and violence, everyone's faces turned a shade paler. The person continued, “If my calculations are correct, that monkey's target might be our Spider Platform.”

They all became worried. The monkey looked somewhat eerie and was huge, extremely fast, and exceedingly violent. Why was it heading toward the Spider Platform? Could it possibly be coming to capture them?

Actually, “Dream” had been using the electronic devices on the Spider Platform to scan the surroundings and had already detected the swiftly approaching monkey. Through the electronic devices' observations, Yan Fei had obtained the monkey's specific data. It stood at a towering height of 5.2 meters, and its running speed exceeded 500 kilometers/hour.

Yan Fei was astonished upon discovering the monkey, not understanding why such a creature that clearly contradicted biological norms could exist in the world. But what surprised him even more was, under the scan of the Spider Platform's electronic devices, “Dream” found that although the monkey looked realistic and even had fur, it wasn't actually a real monkey, but a huge mechanical monkey.

Judging by the mechanical monkey's bodily reactions while it ran, its technology was very mature, having achieved perfect biorobotics of monkey movement. This technology far surpassed the technological level of Earth today. Even Yang Qi's Spider Platform, advanced as it was, couldn't compare to this mechanical monkey.

Yan Fei was taken aback. At present, Dream Island's technological level had begun to lead the world's advanced standards, yet even Dream Island couldn't create such a mature mechanical monkey. So, who built this mechanical monkey? Could there be a mysterious force in the world that far exceeded Earth's technological capabilities?

The mechanical monkey raced forward, continuously smashing any trees and rocks it encountered, moving forward like a powerful bulldozer. According to “Dream's” calculations of its trajectory, the target of the mechanical monkey was the Spider Platform hidden beneath the large rocks by the beach.

Although Yan Fei didn't know the purpose of the mechanical monkey, he felt a deep sense of danger…
