The reason why Gong Yun did not violently destroy the unknown object this time was because he wanted to capture the alien technology that might exist on it.
Now Qin Yao's identity is different, and so is his identity. In the past, all he had to consider was the economic issues of Hope Island. As long as he can exchange money, he doesn't care whether the thing breaks or whether the technology can be analyzed from it.
But if you are responsible for the entire Hope Island, it is not a problem that can be solved with just money. Nowadays, money no longer means anything in his position. That's just a tool they created to balance the circulation of materials. He can create any amount of money.
So the amount of money is no longer very important to him, but the value of the money is important. Only by pushing forward the overall strength of Hope Island can money have its meaning.
Regardless of where you stand, you won't consider the issue of class. If he was just the director of the Special Operations Department, then he only needed to consider the food, clothing, housing and transportation of his subordinates. In that case, he still has the entire resource library of Hope Island as a background. As long as you have money, you can buy things on the island to strengthen your special forces.
But what he needs most now is no longer money, but materials, physical objects. Money is meaningless in their class, only real materials are fundamental.
Therefore, due to the change in his position, Gong Yun's purpose naturally changed. Based on the idea that science is the primary productive force, enhancing the overall strength of Hope Island in all aspects is his current goal.
Otherwise, it would be easy for him to deal with this unknown object, and there would be no need to spend so much time at all. The military was unable to do anything mainly because long-range weapon attacks were ineffective and offensive weapons could not be placed close to it. But he had already walked as close as two meters away. At this distance, he could easily solve the problem by placing powerful bombs or something, and then return to Hope Island with ease.
It has to be said that at Gong Yun's current speed, taking a car is really not as fast as walking. Because if you walk, you don’t need a road. If you drive, you have to walk on relatively gentle terrain to pass, which adds a lot to the journey.
A full seven hours later, Gong Yun saw a baboon swinging on a tree in the truck.
In terms of body shape and habits, baboons are very similar to monkeys, apes, gorillas and other animals. They are all creatures that like to climb. Although there is an obvious difference in body shape, there is basically no big difference in their living habits.
The baboon also spotted the speeding truck. At this stage, most mutant beasts are very sensitive to humans and will stay away if they see them. No contact of any kind with humans. A target as big as a truck rushed over so unabashedly, they naturally knew what the other party's purpose was. After all, the place it is now belongs to humans, and they belong to stowaways.
So as soon as they saw the truck, they immediately started running away. Once an animal like this started running away, it was impossible for the truck to catch up. Because of their habits, the escape route they choose is absolutely impossible for trucks to pass.
This baboon has gray hair all over its body. It is easy to blend into the natural environment and lose its target among the mountains, forests, vegetation and rocks. It is obvious that they have mastered this. ,.
However, this truck is not a military clearance vehicle after all. Gong Yun, the first evolution of mankind, is on it. As the baboon began to flee, a figure on the truck left the truck and gave chase.
Now Gong Yun's speed is not much worse than the alien creatures that invaded Hope Island. Not to mention the speed of a baboon? You must know that the alien species at that time did not leave Gong Yun very far behind with the assistance of a single aircraft.
So from a satellite perspective, it was a baboon running away quickly in the forest. Behind it, there is a person who is three or four times faster than it, approaching at an extremely fast speed.
A moment later, the baboon that was desperately escaping was kicked out, and then the baboon that was escaping in front suddenly rose up in the air, rolled and fell out. Before it landed, the figure behind it was already approaching again. Then the baboon rose up in the air and rolled forward like a ball.
This scene is like Gong Yun playing football, except that the football is a bit bigger.
Gong Yun naturally has his own reason for doing this. For such a highly aggressive mutant beast, it is impossible to catch it directly by force, because if you do that, it will fight back desperately.
Although Gong Yun is said to have 85 times the defense power of a normal person, that is for humans after all. When facing baboons, you cannot calculate based on this multiple. In comparison, the defense power is several times or ten times higher. At this range, a baboon's desperate counterattack is very likely to cause harm to him.
There is a huge gap in toughness between beast skin and human skin. An ordinary knife can easily cut through human skin, but cannot break through the fur of mutant beasts. You must know that if it had not been for Xiaolong Dao very early on, Gong Yun might have died on the back of a mutated cow that was not very high in level.
So don’t look at the figure of 85 times the standard human body stamina, which is quite exaggerated. But it really doesn't have much advantage for mutant beasts. If he was caught with his whole face turned upside down, how could he participate in the selection of warriors the day after tomorrow? That would be a shame for adults. The title of Hope Island's No. 1 God of War is a great insult, and will also have a certain impact on Hope Island's popularity.
So he can't be injured, and he won't be so stupid. It's safest to beat it until it can't move.
If this baboon did not choose to escape directly, but chose to confront Gong Yun head-on, Gong Yun would really have to spend a lot of effort to capture it alive. Catching people alive is easy to say, but a bit difficult to do. Therefore, often in some larger operations, the superior's words of arrest often lead to the failure of the operation.
Because they had to catch people alive, Gong Yun's sword and metal bone rod couldn't be used. Is it better to fight a powerful baboon with bare hands? Gong Yun is not that mentally retarded to give it a chance to fight with him in close combat.
Although mutant beasts today generally have high IQs, that is still compared to the original IQ of the beasts. It is still far incomparable to humans. There is no such thing as a style of fighting you to the death since you are chasing after you.
So once this happens, it's basically the result that the more Gong Yun chases and fights, the harder it tries to escape. There is no thought of a dead end. And when Gong Yun got the chance to control the field, he naturally would not give him any more opportunities and would pursue and fight fiercely. .
