    “What's this?” Shimi Levy asked.
    “Now, my friend, you'll see a demonstration of our newest achievement. Even our Prime-Minister is yet to see it.”
    “Are the soldiers drugged?” Shimi Levy noticed the vacant eyes of the men in front of him.
    “Just a little, to disorientate them for a short time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get them inside willingly if they knew what they'd face. In a few minutes, they should be back to their senses.” Yao drank a big gulp of his water while Shimi Levy looked at him. He was ready to swear that the scientist was having an erection as he stared with hungry eyes through the glass.
    “You must know that these are not ordinary soldiers. They are all injected with a special gene that makes their muscles grow bigger.” Yao talked while his eyes remained fixed on the five men. “I'd say they are around three times stronger than a normal soldier, and the number of red blood cells in their bodies is about five times higher than in yours and mine.”
    At that moment, the two comfortably seated men noticed that the eyes of the soldiers had cleared. It took them only a quick glance at their surrounding before a new expression of horror and primitive fear appeared on their faces. They formed a circle, their knuckles white from gripping the machine guns in their hands. Suddenly, three dark figures emerged from the ceiling, landing in the middle of the men and dispersing them. Shimi Levy's eyes widened in disbelief.
    “Meet our latest experiment – orangutans that had their DNA modified and also several medical procedures that increased their intelligence.”
    For the next ten seconds, it was nearly impossible to see through the mass of bodies behind the glass. All that was heard were the weapons, the desperate screams of the men and the strange grunts of the three creatures. After that, silence descended on the other side of the glass, only guttural growling was to be heard.
    Only now did Shimi Levy have a better chance to examine the three creatures. All five soldiers lay motionless on the ground in pools of blood. It would be hard to call the tall, standing figures orangutans. They hardly had any of the orange hair on their chest and face typical of their species, but the features of the face and everything else indicated that these were primates. The more astonishing thing for Levy was the fact that all three of the creatures had in their hands knives. They were very skillfully chopping the bodies of the already dead soldiers with bloodthirstiness unnatural for their species. The white, until recently, walls behind the glass were colored red. There was also lots of blood on the glass itself as the three creatures kept stabbing angrily at the lifeless bodies for another minute or so.
    Doctor Yao pointed at one of the animals. A closer look from Levy saw two gunshot wounds on its left leg. Blood slowly dripped on the floor as it stabbed the nearest soldier another six times before standing up. Suddenly, the biggest of the three creatures turned his head sharply, his big nostrils sniffing the air. Very quickly, his cold eyes fixed on the wounds of his bleeding brother. A slight nod of the head was enough for the third orangutan to jump over the injured one and, with a quick cut to the throat, end his life.
    “These are just killing machines,” Levy exclaimed.
    “They definitely are. Their efficiency, decision-making and ability to use their hands are amazing. Just try to imagine the damage these beasts can cause to a regiment of ordinary soldiers. Unfortunately, we still can't use them. There is a slight problem controlling them and making them follow commands. But I'm sure we'll sort that out in a month or so.” Yao giggled again.
    “It was a really impressive show, although I must say I nearly threw up. But I really want to talk business now, because time is not my friend at the minute.”
    He stopped talking as the door behind
