Driving northeast from the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, we soon encountered the second mountain, Mount Qizhang. The former Chaohu City was a city surrounded by mountains.
At the foot of Chizhang Mountain, Shen Cong raised the DJI 8 and overlooked the earth from an altitude of 200m.
The Grape Forest Camp in Phoenix Mountain is also within sight.
Shen Cong mainly checked the Hechaowu Expressway. From the intersection of Jinshan Road and the North Outer Ring Road, walk directly north for a section of Ye Tiantian, and you can directly branch off to the Hechaowu Expressway.
There are wilderness and ruins nearby, there are no survivors, and there are no evolved beasts.
"Unfortunately, the chassis of the fire truck is too low to travel through the wild fields. We still have to return to Bantang Town and take the highway." Shen Cong carefully checked the footage taken by the drone and saw many large fields in the wild fields to the north of the intersection. pieces of gravel.
These gravels are nothing more than a waste of time and diesel for the King Kong, which has a bulldozer, a high chassis, and large tires. However, the fire truck can only drive on relatively smooth roads.
The fire truck was carrying a lot of scrap metal products and 2,500 liters of diesel fuel exchanged from the camp. Shen Cong was reluctant to throw away these things.
On the way to Hefei, I didn’t know what unexpected situations I would encounter on the way, and I felt uneasy if I didn’t bring more supplies.
Shen Cong also saw the current appearance of the King Kong from the drone's aerial footage.
The dog-crocodile war flag on the head looks like a roaring skeleton crocodile, which is very vivid and lifelike - and quite showy.
After determining the safe driving distance, the King Kong started again.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to Bantang Town, where we first stayed. Without any delay, we went directly onto the highway. There was not much gravel on the highway. It may have been cleared when the military region came for the first time. The highway is now There is only some yellow sand and debris on the road surface.
The King Kong can be ignored directly and the speed is increased to a relatively high speed of 40 kilometers per hour. This is still concerned about the actions of the fire trucks. The speed is too high, the road surface is uneven, and the fire trucks cannot withstand it.
However, this speed was maintained for less than ten minutes, and the driving distance was just over seven kilometers. We had just arrived at Xinzhuang, not far from Xiage Town.
Shen Cong had to step on the brakes.
The road in front looks like it has been plowed over, with potholes and undulations. Judging from the footage taken by the camera, it should have been bombed. Only the firepower of the military region can blow up the ground like this. After arriving, Shen Cong put on his semi-activated armor and got out of the car after checking that there was no danger.
He walked to the plowed ground and examined it carefully for a moment.
I have never studied geology, so I don’t know when it was exploded, but judging from the surface conditions, it was at least bombed before the second heavy rain. Many of the traces of the bombs were washed away by the rain, leaving only craters.
"The troops of the Provincial Military Region have fought here, does it mean that there are already high-risk mutated animals that need bombs to deal with? From the longitude point of view, this place is at the same longitude as the nesting area, and the activity content is also poor. bring……"
The level of vigilance in the mind increased.
Shen Cong observed with a telescope and found that the ground that had been blasted by the bomb was in the shape of a fan. The fastest way to pass through it was to fill this section with a bulldozer and then go straight through. Because there was a fire brigade attached to the back of the car. It is very inconvenient for the King Kong to reverse the carriage, so the quality of the filling work is not high.
After reluctantly driving up, the King Kong was fine, but the fire truck was completely stuck on the chassis.
"No matter what, just drag it away!"
Shen Cong became ruthless and no longer cared about whether the chassis of the fire truck would be worn out. Anyway, the fire truck was a temporary transportation substitute, and if it broke, it would be broken.
Boom boom boom!
The King Kong stepped on the accelerator to the maximum, pulled hard, and dragged the fire truck away from the bombed road and back to the normal highway.
But Shen Cong hadn't yet adjusted the gear and was ready to accelerate.
I saw several car wrecks on the side of the road ahead, stuck in the mud. These car wrecks looked like large military trucks, with green paint on some parts. Even in the compartment of a truck wreckage, there were I saw a lot of white bones, which were human bones.
This discovery sent a chill down Shen Cong's back.
The situation is very similar to a military truck pulling a car of people to death on the roadside. As for the use of military trucks, I am afraid that the only time people came from the military region was before the first heavy rain and flood. That time, the military region brought many vehicles, and the people were killed on the roadside. Many evolvers and their families in the nest area were taken away.
The survivors who could not follow were very envious.
Unexpectedly, Shen Cong found truck wreckage and human skeletons here. After thinking of the road that had been bombed before, it was obvious that the troops of the Provincial Military Region were attacked here and several people in the truck were killed. It is said that a total of Ten large trucks came, three of them were here, and one third of them died.
"Danger, the road ahead is dangerous."
Shen Cong calmed down, checked for danger, and got out of the car again. He wanted to carefully check the reasons for the possible danger here.
The skeletons of the dead are not scary, at least Shen Cong will not be afraid. He tore apart the rusty carriage of the big truck. There were rows of skeletons inside. There were at least forty people in one truck. The skeletons had obviously been eaten. Signs include more missing arms and legs, and there are gnawing marks on the bones.
Using the oscillation locator, I simply scanned the imprinted surface and constructed the three-dimensional model. I quickly saw on the screen what kind of thing was biting it.
"It's probably not teeth. This kind of scratch looks a bit like an insect. It's very similar to the mouthparts of a digging bug, but there are some slight differences... It's probably a mutated beetle. The marks are so big and deep. The shape of the beetle should be Not small."
Shen Cong went to two other large trucks and checked the human skeletons in the carriages. Basically, they all had the same gnawing marks, suspected to be beetle bite marks.
Occasionally there are traces left by the molars of cats and dogs.
Based on this, Shen Cong deduced that the troops of the Provincial Military Region should have encountered a swarm of mutant beetles and lost three large trucks. Finally, they used bombs to cover the battlefield and fled the battlefield. Later, the humans in the large trucks were devoured by the mutant beetles, leaving some The minced meat that was not cleaned attracted some cats and dogs.
The wreckage of the three large trucks was very badly rusted, and there were no intact parts, not even parts that could be recycled as scrap metal.
After struggling for a while and unable to pick up anything good, Shen Cong prepared to return to the King Kong.
Don't stay any longer and leave this crowded place as soon as possible. What shocked Shen Cong was that just as he was about to get in the car, he heard a rustling sound coming from behind.
Shen Cong didn't look back, jumped directly into the King Kong, and closed the outer armor.
Then he looked at the monitor screen.
I saw a ruin not far from the side of the King Kong. The rubble covered on it had been lifted off, and large black beetles poured out one after another.
