A beast roar brought Shen Cong back to his senses. It was already the end of the world, and mutated monsters were lurking around.
I hurriedly returned to the King Kong car, closed the sunroof, and then, regardless of whether it was ventilated or not, quickly used tape to block the side vents to prevent water from continuing to flow in, leaving only the top vent.
I hope the water will not completely submerge the King Kong.
The fixation with tape finally stopped the water from leaking in, but this did not solve the fundamental problem. As long as the heavy rain does not stop and the water level continues to rise, the crisis of the King Kong will not be resolved.
Shen Cong could only pray that the weather would clear up soon.
However, with a serious sense of crisis, he did not wait for death. He planned to completely seal the material compartment before the King Kong was completely submerged. Food, drink, and electronic equipment are all very delicate and will definitely break if they are soaked in water.
Especially those USB flash drives and hard drives contain the crystallization of the knowledge of human civilization.
Before the end, Shen Cong kept this knowledge just in case, without thinking that it would really come in handy. But the evolution of the King Kong made him understand that knowledge is equally important. Now he is starting to learn this knowledge bit by bit in order to evolve the King Kong more perfectly.
Therefore, there is no room for loss of knowledge.
It took Shen Cong half an hour to pack all the water-proof supplies in sealed bags. Then they were stacked together and fixed with tape and welding rods to prevent these things from being damaged due to the rolling of the King Kong.
Now the King Kong is getting more and more swaying, and the rain is accumulating deeper and deeper. There is a possibility that the King Kong will be washed away at any time.
…
The heavy rain still doesn't stop.
After another hour and a half, the rain completely submerged the King Kong. The water seepage could no longer be blocked with tape. Small water jets sprayed into the carriage. After a while, the water had already covered Shen Cong's thighs.
At this time, several sparks splashed on the wall of the King Kong, and then the lights were completely extinguished.
The line is shorted.
Everything inside and outside the car was dark.
Only on the wall of the carriage was a line of large characters written in fluorescent paint, shining with a dim luster: "A person who knows why he lives can endure any kind of life."
Watch this line of fluorescent words.
Shen Cong's nervous heart suddenly calmed down. He tightened the oxygen tube in his arms and restored the calmness of Gu Jing: "Fortunately, I have stored two 40l oxygen bottles..."
A 40l oxygen bottle can be used continuously for 48 to 96 hours, which is 2 to 4 days. A compromise between two bottles should last at least another six days.
With Shen Cong's current physical condition, he could survive six days even if his whole body was soaked in water.
Moreover, Shen Cong didn't believe that the heavy rain would continue for six days. How thick the clouds would be for it to rain non-stop for six days.
But if the rain continued unreasonably for six days, Shen Cong could only choose to abandon the King Kong and escape alone. Even if he was eaten by the monsters outside, it would be better than suffocating to death in the water with the King Kong.
…
Shen Cong's idea was correct. When the car was flooded with water until there was only a head's length left at the top, the rain outside stopped and the sound of falling raindrops disappeared.
At this moment, the mechanical watch shows the time as 22:57 on the 10th.
Shen Cong remembered that the storm came at 14:18 on the 9th.
The heavy rain lasted for 32 hours and 39 minutes.
"It's really a hearty rain. It's worthy of being a doomsday-level rainstorm." Shen Cong thought with joy, and he was relieved when the heavy rain stopped.
However, the crisis was not over, because the water had not receded. He saw the pressure gauge on the wall of the carriage. He could calculate the pressure and found that the depth of the rainwater had submerged the King Kong by at least one meter.
I don’t know how long it will take to recede.
Shen Cong, who had been soaking in the water for several hours, was a little tired. He was thinking about how he would sleep in the water at night and how he would relieve himself.
I can tolerate defecation, but I can't tolerate urination.
After ten minutes of ideological struggle... Shen Cong's frown relaxed.
This is already the case, why bother with so much
After holding his breath and letting go, Shen Cong gradually felt that the remaining oxygen in the air in the King Kong had been consumed by himself. It was time to put on a respirator and dive into the water.
Almost at the same time as he put on the respirator, the King Kong suddenly seemed to have been hit and flipped over in the rain.
Bang!
Shen Cong was accidentally thrown on the roof of the car. Fortunately, the resistance in the water was relatively large and he was not injured. But the flipping of the King Kong made Shen Cong's heart suddenly sink. It was not like being hit by the water flow, but like being attacked.
Before Shen Cong could adjust his direction, there was another violent impact outside, and the King Kong was spinning again.
He turned around several times in a row.
Several wrenches and other tools fixed on the carriage wall were thrown away and hit Shen Cong, smashing him to pieces.
"Go back and put all the tools on the King Kong body!" After a while, Shen Cong stabilized his body. At this time, the impact also disappeared, and the King Kong lay sideways in the water.
Shen Cong grabbed the armrest, walked to the sunroof, twisted the wrench, and opened the sunroof.
Then he looked outside with a flashlight, trying to find out the cause of the impact.
But the water was very turbid at this time, and the light of the flashlight could not shine far at all, making it difficult to see what was going on outside. I just saw what seemed to be a huge shadow moving in the water outside. Obviously there was something in the water, most likely a mutated monster.
This monster seemed to be full of curiosity about the King Kong and circled around the King Kong. Shen Cong had seen shadows passing by the skylight several times.
And accompanied by a slight friction sound.
“Got to know what’s out there!”
The unknown is far more frightening than the monster.
Shen Cong had a flash of inspiration and figured out how to check the situation outside. The King Kong's front and rear were equipped with infrared thermal imaging cameras. As the power supply in the car was short-circuited, imaging was no longer possible. Now the cab is full of water, and it is estimated that various The circuit board was almost destroyed. But the infrared thermal imaging camera does not work, but there is an instrument that can still work.
Portable plate x-ray machine.
This is the medical equipment Shen Cong prepared for himself. It is a new type of equipment produced in 2021. The plate-type all-in-one machine is only the size of an iPad. He wrapped it in a waterproof seal and placed it in the carriage.
The built-in backup power supply can be used for ten X-rays.
Soon, Shen Cong took out the portable plate-type X-ray machine, turned on the power through the sealed bag, and it worked normally.
The only regret is that the X-ray machine originally needed to be used with a light barrier, but Shen Cong used it as a camera, so the pictures taken would be blurry.
But as long as you can get a rough idea, that's enough.
Opening the glass of the skylight and pointing the X-ray machine outside, Shen Cong waited quietly.
Within half a minute, a huge shadow crossed from outside.
Shen Cong immediately pressed the shooting button.
There was a click.
Strong X-ray irradiation, and the next moment, a blurry picture of bones appeared on the X-ray machine display screen. Before Shen Cong could see the shape of the bones clearly, the monster outside seemed to be angered by the X-ray, and there was another violent collision, knocking the King Kong around like a ball.
Shen Cong protected the X-ray machine with one hand and grasped the armrest with the other hand, swinging around with the King Kong.
A few minutes later.
The monster calmed down, and the King Kong finally stopped rolling. Shen Cong grinned and rubbed the area hit by the wrench and other objects, and then immediately took out the X-ray machine.
This time I finally saw the X-ray picture of the monster clearly. It showed half of the monster's body. The head was not shown, only the back half.
"Is this a crocodile?"
"What kind of crocodile can roll a five- to six-ton heavy truck like a ball? Is it a prehistoric giant?" Shen Cong was silent. No matter what is outside, being entangled by such a big monster is definitely not a good thing. .
