In Shen Cong's opinion, everything in the half-hour journey was a dead end.
Once, he saw the remains of a building that looked like a factory building. Only the broken steel structure was left, twisted together.
Shen Cong went down to check and found no signs of life.
There is nothing moving in the battlefield detection radar scan, and the infrared thermal imaging camera is also unable to sense heat energy.
He had thought that most people would not be able to survive this disaster, but at this moment, Shen Cong realized that he still could not adapt, and that all that was left in the world was his own desolation.
And I didn't find anything to eat.
The supplies stored on the King Kong can only last three years through frugality, and the gasoline can only last a thousand kilometers. Shen Cong originally thought that after the end of the world, gas stations would be free, but who knew that a storm would destroy everything Yes, there are no gas stations at all.
Fortunately, King Kong has "alive" and he can slowly guide it to evolve and use solar energy or other energy sources as power.
Activity can be increased. Shen Cong has a deep understanding of this. A month ago, only the metal frame of the King Kong was active. Now the whole body is active, and it is fed back to his body, improving his physique even more powerfully.
It feels like killing a cow with one punch.
"If the direction is correct, we will reach Wuwei County one kilometer ahead." After estimating the speed and time, Shen Cong came to the conclusion.
However, there is no GPS navigation now, and there are no landmark buildings. Shen Cong has no way of knowing the exact location.
suddenly.
The body of the King Kong shook suddenly, awakening Shen Cong from his deep thoughts.
Immediately communicate with the King Kong and sense that something is hitting the ground underground.
"Living thing?"
Shen Cong was not excited. On the contrary, he was extremely vigilant. He already had paranoia about being persecuted, not to mention that the impact came from the ground. He slammed on the brakes and the King Kong stopped steadily in the yellow sand.
The living creature that hit was not big, and although the impact was fierce, it was not able to damage the King Kong, which had been reinforced by Shen Cong.
But not fighting back when attacked is not Shen Cong's style.
And he also wanted to see what could survive.
Bang!
Another impact caused the King Kong to shake.
Not knowing what it was, Shen Cong did not get out of the car rashly, but walked to the carriage, picked up a periscope from the tool room, then opened a fist-sized steel plate at the bottom of the carriage and raised the periscope down. Insecure persecution paranoia. Patients are so meticulous in their work and have thought of every aspect.
The periscope rotated around the bottom of the car, and Shen Cong discovered the living thing that hit the car.
This is a large mutated bug that resembles a cockroach. It is as big as the tires of the King Kong. The tires of the King Kong are replaced from large mechanical equipment and are 1.5 meters in diameter. This means that this mutant bug is 1.5 meters in diameter. It is long. There are huge sickle-like chelicerae growing on its head.
Moreover, the chelicerae shone with a dark silver luster, just like steel products.
Shen Cong couldn't understand this big bug.
How could there be such a huge insect?
However, when I thought about it, King Kong was able to survive, and a bug mutated, which should be very common in the end of the world.
Unable to change the situation, Shen Cong could only take a deep breath and accept it.
It seemed that the chassis could not be moved by impact, which made the big bug angry. It twisted and burrowed into the yellow sand, then suddenly came out and collided with the chassis of the King Kong again.
There is a persistence that is not afraid of death.
This gave Shen Cong a little headache. He didn't know how to deal with this insect that could only burrow into the ground. Seeing the insect's sharp claws, Shen Cong decisively gave up his plan to go down and fight the insect.
Since you can't get out of the car, you have to outsmart yourself.
Shen Cong suddenly had an idea. He took out a piece of bacon from the supply room. The calories and volume of bacon were not high. Shen Cong only stored a small amount to improve the taste. He put the bacon on the iron hook. , a section of the iron hook is fixed with an iron chain.
The twisted chain just reached the opening of the periscope. He was going to kill the big bug by fishing.
Then he took out another item from the warehouse, a high-pressure air gun that could spray steel ball bullets. With a spoon in his mouth, Shen Cong was ready to catch insects. However, when the hook passed through the hole, he was a little reluctant and cut off half of the bacon. Take it back. Place the hook at the hole, aim the muzzle of the air gun at the hole, and blow the whistle.
The bug, who was stupidly hitting the chassis, immediately became energetic when he heard the whistle and saw the bacon.
It bit him in one bite, biting directly on the hook, unable to break free, and let out a fierce roar.
No matter how big a bug is, its IQ is only like this.
He originally planned to use an air gun to solve the problem. Seeing that the insect had such a low IQ and a weak bite, Shen Cong simply took out an iron fork, pointed it at the hole, and stabbed it in.
Poof!
Shen Cong, who is as strong as an ox, can make a mark on a 10mm thick steel plate with all his strength, not to mention insects.
The iron chak was poured into the insect's mouthparts on the spot and stabbed directly through it. The insect struggled for a moment and then died. Shen Cong could sensitively feel that this insect was also active. Now this activity It's slowly fading.
Open the secret door on the chassis and pull the bug into the car.
Shen Cong was ready to study this thing carefully.
…
After six years of building the King Kong on his own, Shen Cong needed to learn a lot of knowledge, which allowed him to develop a character that did everything by himself.
If you are an ordinary person, after killing such a big insect, you may be surprised and throw it away.
But Shen Cong used the spirit of research to carefully take pictures of the big bugs, record the information, dissect them, analyze the data, and then classify them in a laptop for file storage. He has a laptop specifically used to record the end of the world. various information.
This may be the difference between him and others. While others are struggling to survive, he treats the end of the world as a new world to explore.
"The elasticity of the muscles is very strong, which is indeed the result of enhanced activity... But how is this bug related to the activity? Is it because of the falling meteor like me?"
After recording the various data of the bug, Shen Cong frowned and pondered.
He named the bug - the ground-burrowing worm.
The attribute is classified as - a mutated cockroach-like insect.
Combat ability is divided into - low IQ, very weak, and fierce personality.
"It seems that it has gotten bigger and has more meat. I don't know if it can be eaten." Shen Cong cut off a piece of snow-white muscle from the leg of a ground-digger. He planned to clean it and fry it to see if it could be eaten.
If you can eat, then there is a possibility of survival in the last days, at least there will be no shortage of food.
As the insect meat was frying on the induction cooker, Shen Cong began to study the two chelicerae of the digger. These two chelicerae were about the length of a hand and were highly degenerated into a sickle-shaped bone structure. However, Shen Cong always felt that these two chelicerae were The chelicerae are more like metal than bone.
"Metal?"
"active?"
"What's the connection?"
Shen Cong frowned, unsure.
Everything in these last days reveals confusing changes.
There was too little information to figure it out, so Shen Cong gave up his futile research and began to taste the cooked insect meat. He took a bite and chewed it carefully. After a while, Shen Cong came to a conclusion.
"I don't know if it's poisonous or not, at least it tastes... It's a bit like chicken, but not crispy and dry, like eating dry wood. I should put more oil in it next time when frying."
After taking a bite, Shen Cong stopped eating and waited for a moment to see if it was poisonous.
