For three days in a row, Shen Cong encountered three "survivors", but they were three mutated creatures: the burrowing worm, the toothed wolf, and the big-toothed rat. It seemed that the surviving creatures had all mutated.
Shen Cong can only explain all this by saying that the "activity" brought by the meteor shower has changed the world.
Including himself, everyone has been changed by activity.
"Is this a doomsday world or a new world?" Shen Cong couldn't help but ask.
No one answered him, so he could only slowly adapt.
The fang dagger could chop the head of a big-toothed rat open, which gave Shen Cong a lot of inspiration. He discovered that the use of activity was far more than the three functions of extension, alloy, and replacement that he had previously speculated.
Take the fang dagger as an example. When no active guidance is injected into it, it is a relatively hard accessory. But once active is injected, a qualitative change immediately occurs. Shen Cong tried to inject active into it and directly put a Ordinary knives are broken with cutting.
This ability was named by Shen Cong - the fourth ability of sharpening and activity.
Shen Cong also discovered that only this pair of fangs on Yalang's body can be infused with active sharpening. It seems that this pair of fangs is the active essence part, or core, of Yalang's body.
The chelicerae of the ground-burrowing worm and the incisors of the big-toothed rat are also their active cores.
"Then where is the active core of the King Kong?"
Shen Cong concentrated on meditation and used his willpower to guide the activity of the King Kong, trying to find the place with the strongest activity, but he searched and searched, but could not find such a place.
"What's wrong? Don't non-living bodies have active cores?"
Thinking of this, Shen Cong returned his willpower to himself, and he was also strengthened by activity. Logically speaking, it was also a case of mutation. If other mutated creatures had an active core, he might also have one. However, Shen Cong Ten minutes later, he shook his head again.
He also didn't discover that he had an active core.
"Is my conclusion wrong?"
There is not enough information, so in the end we can only put aside the inference for the time being.
Because his arm was recovering from an injury, Shen Cong did not leave the Carrefour supermarket for the next few days. He welded a mousetrap with one hand, then put on the digging insect meat and quietly placed it in the Carrefour supermarket. He was going to put the mousetrap in the supermarket The big-toothed rat has a whole nest, if there are still big-toothed rats.
As for why the meat of ground diggers is used as bait, it is because the meat quality of the three mutated organisms, namely the toothed wolf, the big-toothed rat, and the ground digger, ranges in activity content from high to low, and the taste also ranges from high to low.
So Zhang Tan doesn’t eat junk food like digging insects anymore.
It's perfect for seducing big-toothed rats.
However, the seduction process was not smooth. On the first day, there was no movement.
The next day there was still no movement.
On the third day, Shen Cong roasted the ground-digger meat and put it on the mousetrap, but there was still no movement. In addition, Shen Cong took a batch of drinks and tobacco and alcohol again, but still did not encounter the big-toothed rat. It seemed that there was really only one Then one mutated.
But on the fourth day, there was movement in the mousetrap.
The groundworm meat was gone, and half of the mousetrap was gone. It seemed like something had bitten off the thumb-thick steel bars of the mousetrap, and there were obvious teeth marks and scratches at the broken places.
This discovery shocked Shen Cong into a cold sweat.
He thought that steel was the most direct barrier against monsters, but at this moment he suddenly discovered that there was some kind of creature that could bite even steel.
The King Kong gave Shen Cong the greatest confidence because of its thick steel plate armor.
It's really terrible.
Shen Cong dropped half of the mousetrap and returned directly to the King Kong, then set off without hesitation towards the water plant.
Safety first.
…
It is difficult to connect the pile of rubble with the original waterworks. There used to be a reservoir next to the waterworks. I dare not say that the waves were magnificent, but also the smoke was curling up. Now all you can see are rubble and yellow sand, and there is no factory building or reservoir.
"It's almost here. Let's dig around and see if we can find the location of the warehouse."
The mineral water I took out from Carrefour was so small that it probably didn't add up to two barrels of bottled water, and a small bottle took up a lot of space.
The bulldozer worked hard to shovel away a layer of yellow sand and rocks on the surface, but it also consumed a lot of diesel, which made Shen Cong very distressed. Diesel was used less and less, and no new energy sources could be found to replace it. , this is a strategic resource more precious than gold.
"After replenishing water resources, we will go to the provincial capital to see if we can find a gas station. If we can keep some diesel or gasoline, the King Kong can continue to move forward. If we can't find it, we can only recharge in the sun and wander around slowly. .”
The cleanup lasted an hour and a half.
Finally found the entrance to the underground warehouse.
After clearing the entrance into a passable passage, Shen Cong did not walk in hastily. The experience at Carrefour Supermarket left a shadow on him.
So Shen Cong took out his own high-tech equipment - a remote-controlled toy car equipped with a camera.
The toy car rushed into the underground warehouse, and the camera footage began to be transmitted. The warehouse was a bit large and divided into compartments. The toy car did not find anything in the first compartment, only some gravel and black patches. Traces of paint.
When I walked to the second compartment, a door was closed, blocking the remote control car from going deeper.
Shen Cong could only drive the remote control car back, and then prepare to go there himself. In order to increase his sense of security, he planned to make himself a set of armor - an active armor.
This inspiration was also inspired by the fang dagger chopping open the skull of a big-toothed rat.
Since the fang dagger can be infused with activity, it stands to reason that an active core such as the fang can be used to create a set of active armor. Due to current conditions, there are not so many active cores that can be used, so Shen Cong thought of it. King Kong, King Kong as a whole is active.
With active steel plate armor, the protective power is greatly improved compared to simple steel plates.
So can the active steel plates of King Kong be used to create active armor?
Although the components will soon lose their activity once they are cut off from the King Kong, the activity will not disappear for half an hour during this period. Shen Cong can use this deactivation process to create a device that is only enough to be used for half an hour. Hours of active armor.
Once the half-hour period is up, the armor loses its activity.
You can give the armor to King Kong to use the alloy ability to assimilate, and then infuse it with activity. Then when you need to use it, you can then cut off the contact, and you can have half an hour of active armor time.
Genius idea!
Shen Cong couldn't help but feel a little proud.
When making the active armor, he had a whimsical idea. If the active core was embedded into the active armor, and using his own activity as a guide, would it be possible to increase the duration of the activity of the armor?
Shen Cong currently has fourteen fangs of a wolf, a pair of chelicerae of a ground digger, and a pair of incisors of a large-toothed rat.
It was enough to verify his idea.
As a civilian master with outstanding DIY skills, Shen Cong wanted to make a battle armor very easily. Moreover, he was as strong as an ox now, so he didn't need to worry about the weight of the battle armor and could carry it.
so.
Two days later, a rough armor made of steel plates and inlaid with two fangs - the Optimus Prime Type 1.0 Active Armor was born.
It looks so ugly, even uglier than the original Iron Man suit.
But Shen Cong felt very safe wearing it on himself.
Even if you encounter a monster that can bite off steel bars and cannot defeat it, at least you will have the ability to escape.
Interestingly, the activity of the battle armor seemed to have a wonderful reaction with the fangs, and the organic combination made Shen Cong feel that the loss of activity was greatly slowed down. An active battle armor that is expected to be used for half an hour, according to this loss Speed, it can be used for at least three hours.
Bang, bang, bang.
Shen Cong was wearing active armor, holding a high-imitation 6.4 pistol that had been assimilated by active agents, with two fang daggers on his waist, and a hand crossbow hanging on his back. He walked towards the warehouse armed to the teeth. .
The warehouse was empty except for the sound of Shen Cong's own footsteps.
The infrared thermal imaging camera on the left eye did not scan any objects with high thermal energy.
Shen Cong first came to the first compartment. He noticed that there were black spots on the toy car before. Shen Cong was curious about what they were. When he walked in, he discovered that these dark spots were left by blood. trace.
"bloodstain?"
This discovery made Shen Cong a little nervous, but Shen Cong couldn't tell whether it was the blood stains from two months ago or the blood stains after the apocalypse.
Just be more cautious.
Push open the door to the second compartment.
As soon as the door opened, a rotten smell suddenly hit my nose. I saw that the warehouse where bottled water was supposed to be stored was littered with at least a dozen human corpses, as well as the rotting corpses of several unknown monsters. wreckage.
"vomit!"
Shen Cong had never seen such a disgusting scene with his own eyes, and almost retched.
After vomiting for a while and feeling better, he accepted all this rationally and did not leave. Although the dead body was disgusting, it was safe, and Shen Cong was not afraid of dead bodies instinctively.
What could be more harmless than the dead... Of course, the zombie world is another matter.
"This seems to be caused by a fight between survivors and monsters. Judging from the degree of decay, it must have been at least a month. Could it have happened before the storm stopped?"
After looking at the corpse for a while, Shen Cong turned around and left, moving to the third compartment.
Sure enough, in the third compartment, traces of the survivors' lives, some food residues, bedding, toilets and other daily utensils were found. Because there was water and shelter in the underground warehouse, these survivors were able to survive the raging storm. He survived, but unfortunately, he encountered a mutated monster.
"So, in big cities or military areas, there will definitely be many survivors!" Shen Cong thought.
There are many basements in big cities, and many supermarkets are in the basement. They are rich in supplies, and there are also some air-raid shelters and other facilities to avoid the doomsday storm. Military regions will naturally have such shelters. Shen Cong hid in the King Kong and survived. , it is conceivable that it is not difficult for people hiding underground to survive as long as they have enough to eat and drink.
"survivor……"
A trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. Shen Cong walked silently through the third compartment and came to the fourth compartment. This compartment was filled with barrels of water. Shen Cong was going to transport ten barrels back and get two more barrels. Take a bath with water. For nearly two months, he only wiped his body with a wet towel and never took a bath at all.
However, while taking a shower, Shen Cong was in a very complicated mood and his thoughts were confused because he didn't know how to deal with the survivors.
It's impossible to wander around the world alone for the rest of your life, but you don't like to come into contact with others before the end... In other words, the weight of survivors and mutant monsters in Shen Cong's eyes is not much different. At most, there is an option to "exchange materials". ...The human heart is the most unpredictable, and getting along with people is more frightening than getting along with monsters.
In novels and movies, this kind of "human cannibalism" incidents occur endlessly.
As a patient with persecution paranoia, he will always be alone against the world. Shen Cong only believes in himself!
