The technology from Alamos Laboratory this time was something everyone could understand; it involved using certain abilities of mechanical insects to control the originally mutated chimpanzee.
One could imagine that the abilities brought by these insects had to exceed a level four, or they could stimulate certain powers within the chimpanzee.
As for David's control, everyone understood but chose not to speak.
What level was David? He appeared to be a seven-star evolver. With someone like him controlling a chimpanzee, even if it did not enhance the strength of this mutated lifeform, his experience was far superior to that of the chimpanzee.
At that moment, it was equivalent to giving this level four chimpanzee the brain of a level seven, increasing its soft power even if its hard power could not be enhanced.
But such matters were difficult to articulate.
Regarding the mutated chimpanzee in Guan Cheng Village that had undergone limb transplantation, everyone had their own judgments. Undoubtedly, these bionic limbs would be superior to its original limbs and might even possess additional abilities.
The only concern was the chimpanzee's adaptability to the newly replaced artificial limbs.
This was the current situation; it was a matter of seeing whether Alamos's mechanical technology was better or if the bionic arm technology was more dominant.
The battle began quickly, with the first to attack still being the chimpanzee controlled by David.
The monster advanced silently, lacking the passion and aggression typical of primate combat; it even appeared slightly unsteady while walking.
However, when it approached the other chimpanzee, which was still adapting to its limbs, its speed suddenly increased, resembling lightning.
The chimpanzee was massive and known for its strength, so speed was not its strong suit. Yet this time, it was quick enough to impress Ye Zhongming, Water Steward, Li Daqian, and others, clearly surpassing its level and even certain limitations of its species.
Then, with a punch thrown from its body, it was about to hit the face of the other chimpanzee.
With a clang, the chimpanzee from the Guan Cheng Village Laboratory immediately raised its arm to block the blow.
Only then did everyone see that the fist of the chimpanzee controlled by David was covered in a layer of iron!
No wonder it made a metallic clanging sound when colliding with the bionic arm.
Was it the effect of those mechanical insects? Many people felt they had underestimated the insects, initially thinking they were merely controllers that allowed the chimpanzee to exert greater power. Now it seemed these insects had other effects.
The chimpanzee from the Light City Village Laboratory screeched at its kind, baring sharp teeth, while another bionic arm swung out, striking at its opponent's ribs. David quickly commanded his chimpanzee to retreat, and after the bionic arm had swung past, it charged back in, crashing into the target.
The two chimpanzees began battling in the center of the arena, and as the fight progressed, the beast controlled by David became almost completely covered in metal, slowly gaining the upper hand.
Although the one from the Guan Cheng Village Laboratory had adapted well to its limbs, it clearly lacked the strength to break through the metallic layer on its opponent's body.
"This situation doesn't look good," Li Daqian remarked, showing that he still hoped for a victory for the Guan Cheng Village Laboratory.
"The bionic arm should have other abilities," said the Water Steward, lightly tapping the table as if disturbing a tranquil sleep. Waves of vapor rippled outward but disappeared beyond her immediate vicinity, a capability that left many in awe.
The Water Steward was seen as quite mysterious by many, as she had never publicly showcased her abilities, yet everyone knew she was very powerful.
"Zhong Ming, what do you think?"
Seeing Ye Zhongming so focused, the Water Steward suddenly asked him.
Ye Zhongming did not shift his gaze, slowly responding, "It all depends on whether the abilities of the bionic limbs can play a decisive role. If not, this battle might indeed turn out to be as grim as Zhang Zhuangzhu said."
