There were far more mutant rats than Shen Cong had ever seen, especially when more and more mutant rats appeared, all jumping onto the Donkey Kong car desperately.
Donkey Kong does not have a smooth body, but uses bumpers to protect the photovoltaic panels on the body shell.
Now these bumpers have become climbing tools for the mutant rats. More and more mutant rats jumped on the King Kong, and then brandished their bone clubs and hammered and smashed the King Kong.
Within five minutes, Donkey Kong turned into a big meat ball, surrounded by a giant mutated rat. Only at the front of the car, due to the up and down movement of the shovel, the mutant rat had no space to occupy.
Shen Cong's expression was dull and he didn't care about the extra passengers in the car. He just increased the accelerator and continued driving along the highway.
He needs to leave the location of the mutant rat group first.
These mutated rats are not very strong, and their consumption of Donkey Kong's activity is not as fast as Donkey Kong's ability to absorb free activity.
After leaving the mutant rat group, Shen Cong had many ways to deal with them.
Boom boom boom, the engine roars.
Donkey Kong drove a car full of ugly passengers on the county road.
After the initial surprise, Shen Cong quickly acquiesced in the existence of this mutant rat that could use weapons.
"The mutated rats have a higher degree of mutation than the big-toothed rats, and they can use weapons. Obviously their IQ has also been greatly improved... The humanoid walks upright. Is this the rhythm of evolving into a rat man?"
Among the stand-alone games that Shen Cong downloaded, especially the Warcraft-style games, many of them have "Ratmen" settings. The Ratmen in the game can wear clothes, have strict tribe levels, can make weapons to fight, and have their own language. .
The mutated rats in front of them obviously haven't evolved to that high level yet, but there are already some signs of it.
"The improvement of intelligence... maybe if it develops for a while, real rat people can really appear." Shen Cong has long ago concluded through the study of evolved beasts that mutation not only enhances the strength of the body, but also promotes the development of the brain. development.
An increase in body size will also increase brain capacity, resulting in the division of more brain cells.
The more brain cells you have, the more capable you are of thinking.
IQ improvement is no joke.
but.
Although Shen Cong wasn't too surprised by the way the mutated mice evolved, he definitely didn't feel good about it. As a human being, the highest creature and the ruler of the earth, we have seen the former lower animals begin to improve their intelligence and show signs of becoming higher intelligent creatures. The impact of this gap is difficult to erase.
Shen Cong thought of a movie series he had seen before, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", in which orangutans were stimulated by drugs and evolved wisdom. The scene was indeed ironic.
But the current apocalyptic scene is really similar to the story in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".
In the movie, human beings have been hit by the virus to the death, the modern industrial system is abandoned, and civilization has degraded. Orangutans began to develop technology, and eventually surpassed humans and became the rulers of civilization.
In such an apocalyptic world, human civilization has been destroyed by the doomsday storm, and the population has been wiped out. However, the evolution of animals is changing with each passing day. The mutated mouse that Shen Cong saw a few months ago was a big-toothed mouse with low IQ and cruel temperament. Although it has grown in size, it is still just a lower-level animal.
The current mutant rat group has learned to use weapons.
Given time, the birth of the Rat Man might not happen.
"Overthrow human rule?"
Thoughts flickered.
Donkey Kong had turned from the county road onto Chuma Expressway, and his speed had increased, reaching 70 kilometers per hour. If he encountered obstacles, he would use a shovel to knock them away.
Ten minutes later, Shen Cong felt that he was far enough away from the mutant rat colony and suddenly stepped on the brakes.
Then go to the car and put on the semi-activated armor, then return to the cab and press a touch screen button on the center console.
All of a sudden.
Donkey Kong's outer bumper suddenly burst into flames.
This is high voltage electricity.
Another vehicle-mounted weapon belonging to Donkey Kong - the high-voltage power grid around the vehicle.
A 10-second discharge consumes one-tenth of the power stored in Donkey Kong. It is designed to deal with small evolved beasts in groups.
40,000v direct current is an ultra-high voltage. The 50ma current is a little weaker, but it can basically electrocute small evolved beasts to death. It will also be electrolytically paralyzed.
Zhila!
Direct current passed through the body of the mutated rats, and then each mutated rat's hair stood upright, its whole body twitched and fell down. After a circle of electric current was discharged, most of the hundreds of mutated rats were paralyzed, fainted, and fell down. Some of them even had their hair starting to smoke.
Donkey Kong is relaxed again.
Shen Cong suddenly opened the car door.
Holding the Overlord Sword in hand, he jumped down and began to harvest these mutant rats that were knocked unconscious by high-voltage electricity.
"Do you want to evolve into rat men?" Shen Cong held a knife and beheaded one by one. A few of them that were not stunned wanted to rush over, but their strength was very weak. Shen Cong's movements were far beyond The mutated rats came and died one by one, but none of them ran away.
After cleaning up the mutated rat, Shen Cong simply harvested the active core of the mutated rat, leaving a complete corpse for research.
He quickly drove away from the scene.
He was afraid of the large army of mutated rats chasing after him. Although he was not afraid of this group-evolved beast with limited lethality, resources would always be consumed to escape.
Gains are not proportional to efforts, and there is no need to take action.
…
The photovoltaic wings spread out and started charging. Donkey Kong was like a big bird running on the ground, running along the highway towards Nanjing.
In the evening, we finally arrived at the foot of the Laoshan Forest Farm in Pukou District, planning to camp here for the night and investigate the situation in Pukou District.
After DJI 8 took off, you could barely see the scene in Pukou District.
There are also countless craters and piles of ruins, making it look extremely lonely.
"There seems to be no sign of survivors in Pukou District." Shen Cong couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
After coming to Laoshan, he also discovered that the free activity in the Laoshan Forest Farm was relatively thin, which meant that it was a barren zone.
Including Chuzhou City, it is also in a barren zone.
However, the free activity in Chuzhou City is slightly stronger than that in Laoshan Forest Farm.
"So there is no oasis near Nanjing. Judging from the location on the map, this oasis may really be in the Hongze Lake area in the north."
Shen Cong drew a circle on the map with Huoshan Oasis as the center, and calculated the distance from Hefei and Chaohu to Huoshan Oasis.
Then draw a circle with Hongze Lake as the center and calculate the distance from Hongze Lake to Chuzhou and Nanjing.
It was found that the distance from Hongze Lake to Chuzhou is equivalent to the distance from Huoshan to Hefei.
"Either the Hongze Lake Oasis is smaller than the Huoshan Oasis, or the oasis is further north, probably in the Suqian area. In this case, as long as the Hongze Lake Oasis is not smaller than the Huoshan Oasis, Chuzhou City and Nanjing City will both be in the Hongze Lake Oasis The barren zone... But what happened to the nuclear explosion in the direction of Nanjing?"
"Will there be evolved beasts more ferocious than those in the oasis in the barren zone? Or, as inferred by the new Hefei scientific research, Nanjing Binjiang is a powerful evolved beast that came back from the sea?"
Putting away the map, Shen Cong made a decision: "Tomorrow, we will go to Pukou District to investigate what happened in Nanjing. It would be best to find the place where the nuclear bomb exploded from the air... I don't know if my body can resist radiation, just in case. It would be bad if you accidentally enter the nuclear explosion area. You must wear nuclear radiation protective clothing at all times." (To be continued.)
