Shen Cong would not take one or two mutated monsters seriously, unless they were monsters the size of a prehistoric giant crocodile.
However, these mutated ants that were only as big as mineral water bottles in front of him made Shen Cong's scalp explode in an instant, because he saw helplessly that the car wreckage in the distance was surrounded by about a hundred mutated ants, and then... In a short period of time, the car wreckage was like a melting bubble, slowly being eaten by ants and turned into a puddle of debris.
These mutant ants are eating metal!
After eating the car wreckage, the mutant ants quickly moved on to the next car.
Shen Cong did not hide in the King Kong immediately because the ant colony was still some distance away, and he was struggling with how he should face it.
The first one is of course to run. Running if you can't beat him is one of Shen Cong's philosophy in life, without any shame. Especially after seeing that mutant ants can eat metal, which is enough to pose a threat to the King Kong.
The second option is to eliminate the ant colony. Although the ant colony looks scary, it is not at the level of army ants after all. There are only more than a hundred in the entire group. Shen Cong is confident that he can shoot steel balls with a slingshot. Each steel ball can kill one. One hundred is nothing more than a matter of one hundred steel balls.
But does the ant colony have a follow-up force? Is this a nest of mutant ants
According to the habits of ants, some worker ants are always sent out to collect food. Once a large food is found, a large number of ants immediately come to work together to transport the food back.
Shen Cong was not sure whether this group of mutant ants were all individuals in the colony. If this group of ants was backed by a nest of mutant ants, would it cause immeasurable consequences if a battle broke out
As a patient with persecution paranoia, Shen Cong has always had many thoughts.
After taking a deep look at the colony of metal-gnawing ants, he finally decided to be on the safe side. The parts that needed to be disassembled in this wreckage parking lot were almost disassembled anyway, and there was little point in staying here any longer. It was better to take advantage of this opportunity to leave.
Once you decide, don’t hesitate anymore.
Shen Cong immediately packed up the King Kong, closed the external armor, ignited the engine and stepped on the accelerator. The King Kong erupted with a rumbling engine sound and began to slowly start.
While starting up, Shen Cong also kept observing the ant colony in the distance.
He wished to go quietly.
But contrary to expectations, the engine of the King Kong was too loud. From the periscope, Shen Cong soon discovered that the ant colony stopped eating the car wreckage and followed the sound and rushed towards the King Kong.
The traveling speed of the mutant ants far exceeds that of the King Kong, which is unable to gain speed in the face of bumpy terrain.
"Forcing me to change my decision!"
Shen Cong decisively gave up his plan to leave. The speed of the King Kong couldn't get rid of the mutant ants. Sooner or later, he would have to face them, so it was better to strike first.
Brake, turn off the engine.
Shen Cong did not dare to waste time, quickly opened the window facing the mutated ant, and then picked up the slingshot and steel ball. Shen Cong's slingshot is a metal frame that he polished himself. It is a very simple frame. The slingshot does not pay attention to the quality of the frame. The core is the quality of the rubber band.
The production of rubber bands lacks unified standards, but for Shen Cong, who is very good at playing slingshot, he can tell whether the rubber band is good or bad by pulling it open a dozen times. When he comes across good rubber bands, he buys more from the same batch. Over the years, Shen Cong has accumulated a lot of rubber bands.
Of course, the most important thing when playing slingshot is feeling. Experts will adapt to different rubber bands.
Originally, Shen Cong used to use 6-strand Banglux rubber bands, but now he has replaced them with 12-strand Banglux rubber bands. With steel balls, the power is within 100 meters and can penetrate 1mm galvanized iron.
Within thirty meters, even if you hit a soybean grain, you will always hit it. From a hundred meters away, you can at least hit a coin with a probability of over 75%.
Shen Cong has tried his best, hitting a 20-meter 5cm target 134 times in 20 minutes. The Guinness record for this rule is 147 times set by a folk slingshot expert. As for long-distance targets, Shen Cong has hit leaves 200m away with steel balls more than once.
However, shooting at long-distance targets is not very stable. The main reason is that the farther the distance is, the more obvious the drop of the steel ball is, the more floaty it is, and it has little power.
"After the activation enhancement, my strength became stronger and I can pull 12 rubber bands, which is within the lethal range within 100 meters." Shen Cong paused and raised the slingshot, suddenly pulled the rubber band, and he pulled the 12 rubber bands at least There is 1.5m opening.
He shoots the slingshot with a diagonal grip and relies on feeling.
Shen Cong has always pursued playing with a slingshot based on feeling. This completely leaves the aiming to the subconscious. The human brain is amazing. Sometimes if you deliberately pursue aiming, you will fall behind.
Almost as soon as Shen Cong unzipped the rubber band, the mutant ant had already rushed within a hundred meters.
Snap!
The moment Shen Cong pulled away, his hand loosened. The strong elasticity of the 12 rubber bands fully opened accelerated the steel balls to a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.
Puff, there was a slight sound, and a mutated ant rushing at the front turned somersaults and trembled on the ground.
It can be clearly seen that the steel ball hit the node between its chest and abdomen, almost splitting it into two pieces.
A mutated ant died, but Shen Cong didn't care. He had already entered the state. Almost as soon as the first rubber band was loosened, his hand reached to the side and grabbed another steel ball. Then load the bullet, pull it open hard, find a feeling, let go, and a steel ball will fly out.
Pfft.
Another mutant ant is unable to move.
A mutated ant the size of a mineral water bottle, although its size has increased many times, it still looks very small alone.
Then Shen Cong hit seven more steel balls one after another, taking away the lives of seven mutant ants. By this time, the mutated ants had already rushed to the King Kong, making it difficult for the slingshot to survive.
Shen Cong reached out to close the window, took out the fang dagger, cut a piece of tumorous pork and placed it next to the window, and then opened the window again.
The active flesh is very attractive to mutant monsters, and mutant ants swarm over.
Shen Cong stood guard at the window, holding a steel plate in his left hand and a fang dagger in his right hand. If an ant came, he would swipe it with a dagger, and if another ant came, he would swipe it with a dagger. At this time, it became clear how huge the benefits of having a well-protected tank are.
Because there is only such a hole, Shen Cong only needs to keep an eye on this place, and his safety is guaranteed.
When several mutated ants rushed over and there was no time to kill them, Shen Cong would insert a steel plate into the hole to block it. He would first kill the ones that rushed over, then open the steel plate and continue to lure the mutated ants in this way.
The whole format is like the challenge mode in CF, where you fight monsters... It's also very similar to a beach landing. One man controls the Allied fort, and ten thousand fascists can't attack it.
One group died, another group rushed over, another group died, and another group rushed over. The cooperation was very pleasant.
After six or seven consecutive waves of mutated ants were eliminated by Shen Cong, the happy atmosphere came to an end, and something that worried him happened. These hundred or so mutated ants are indeed just workers in the colony collecting food. Shen Cong looked up and looked outside while he was killing people. At some point, a black line rushed towards him in the distance.
Those were densely packed mutant ants.
Even out of the corner of Shen Cong's eyes, he saw huge ants that were far larger than ordinary mutated ants, and his expression suddenly became embarrassed: "How can there be so many mutated ants!"
