The black mutant ants came like a tide, making Shen Cong change his color.
To deal with the first hundred or so mutated ants, he could still rely on the King Kong's active armor to resist them, luring them one by one and killing them. But faced with a dense ant colony, the King Kong could only be quickly overwhelmed.
"what to do!"
Shen Cong took a deep breath and suppressed his nervousness. The more dangerous it was, the less nervous he could be. His brain was working rapidly, and countless pieces of information and plans flashed one by one.
The crisis of the end of the world can always exceed his imagination and exceed the endurance of the King Kong. The accumulation of water caused by heavy rains is a major crisis, and now facing the ant colony is also a major crisis. What's very difficult is that King Kong doesn't have a good way to deal with it.
After the heavy rain and water receded, Shen Cong was already thinking of ways to seal the connections, including the vents, to make the King Kong a diving tank. He had planned that when he arrived in Hefei, the provincial capital, he would install several more motors to make propellers for underwater operations.
Because we don’t know when the heavy rain will come.
Before the end of the world, Shen Cong could only imagine the end of the world based on the known conditions. He believed that there might be an end of the world where zombies besieged the city. A large part of the King Kong's transformation plan was designed for such an end of the world - Steel Thorn armor, plenty of weapons and food, a small amount of water and fuel.
If there is an apocalypse on the level of "The Day After Tomorrow" or "2012", no matter how you prepare, it will seem to be a dead end, so there is no need to prepare too much.
Now it seems that the current apocalypse is like a weakened combination of "2012" and "Resident Evil", which is unexpected.
Fortunately, the King Kong "survived", otherwise it would have been destroyed in the apocalypse.
Now, it's crisis time again.
Facing the raging ant tide, Shen Cong never thought of escaping because there was no way he could escape. He quickly closed the steel plate, turned and walked into the shelf where the weapons were stored, and carried the high-pressure air guns and pistols in stock to the window. Load the bullet, open the window, and aim at the larger mutated ants in the ant tide in the distance.
shooting!
boom!
High-pressure air guns shoot lead bullets. The high-pressure air guns that Shen Cong purchased were all high-power models made by others. Although the power may not be as powerful as the high-imitation 6.4 pistol, it is better because of its fast shooting speed and high accuracy. In fact, Shen Cong can make high-pressure air guns himself, but he doesn't have a punch machine, so the parts he makes are rough and inaccurate.
The high-pressure air gun I bought is said to be able to kill a dog within 100 meters.
To deal with a single mutant ant, simply shoot it.
The lead bullet flew out, and a mutant ant with a huge jaw died on the spot. This large mutant ant is as big as a large bottle of Coca-Cola. It is probably a mutation of the soldier ants in the ant colony. But even the soldier ants, after being shot, seemed like just pebbles falling into the lake without causing any ripples.
boom!
Another soldier ant died.
While Shen Cong was looking for soldier ants to kill, he was thinking about how to deal with this swarm of ants. To deal with ants and other social insects, fire attack and water attack are effective methods, but there is no water pool nearby and there is not a lot of combustible materials. The King Kong cannot accelerate on this kind of terrain.
"what to do!"
Shen Cong was in a helpless situation for a while, and his shooting hand was a little unsteady. The lead bullets kept flying. Fortunately, there were too many mutated ants, so he could hit even if he hit randomly.
But this is not the way to go. The high-pressure air gun cylinder has a full reserve of 100 guns. The first 50 guns are very powerful. Later, as the pressure of the cylinder weakens, the power will become smaller and smaller.
As time goes by, the first high-pressure air gun has fired 60 rounds of bullets. At this time, the gas cylinder has also significantly reduced the air pressure, and the lead bullets are no longer so brittle after being shot. However, when dealing with mutant ants at close range, it is still necessary to shoot one at a time. Now the ant swarm has rushed around the King Kong and surrounded the King Kong.
More and more mutated ants broke through the window, forcing Shen Cong to abandon his gun and replace it with a dagger. He swung the fanged dagger and cut each mutated ant into sections.
"More and more."
The activity is added to the fang dagger, killing mutant ants is like chopping vegetables, but it also puts a huge load on Shen Cong. If the activity is not added, the power of the dagger will drop by a notch. The shells of these mutant ants seem to have produced similar The mutation of metal is very hard.
A drop of sweat slid down his forehead, and Shen Cong didn't bother to wipe it away. More and more activity was used to sharpen the fang dagger, which consumed a lot of his energy.
So much so that he started breathing heavily.
What made him more tired than the active consumption was the fact that he had not found a solution to the crisis. Shen Cong had always believed that although he was not an extremely intelligent person, he was at least a smart person. If he wanted to transform a heavy truck alone, he would have to be smart. But being smart doesn't mean you will perform well in the face of danger.
Because he has no experience, he may even take it for granted and make some rash decisions. For example, when he met the prehistoric giant crocodile that time, the best way was not to be curious and just endure it. But he insisted on figuring out what he was facing and used an X-ray machine to anger the prehistoric giant crocodile.
As a result, the King Kong was almost destroyed.
This was a lesson that made him understand better what kind of environment he was in now and how to deal with it. For this reason, he formulated a little apocalyptic survival strategy - don't let go of those who can be defeated, and run away if you can't defeat them. If it doesn't work, just pretend to be dead. If you can't pretend to be dead, then try your best.
"Now... pretending to be dead? How to pretend to be dead?" Shen Cong closed the window, rubbed his almost numb wrist, and gasped for air.
The load that consumes activity is too heavy.
Facing the swarm of ants, Shen Cong finally decided to pretend to be dead after deciding that there was nothing he could do. He suppressed his emotions, concentrated his energy, and entered the King Kong body with willpower.
In an instant, the King Kong fed back very dangerous information.
It can be felt that countless mutant ants climbed onto the body of the King Kong, densely packed, and after they could not find an entrance to the interior, they began to chew on the outer armor. However, the armor has active support, and it is impossible for mutant ants that cannot use the activity to chew on it.
However, the mutated ant secreted a substance similar to formic acid from its tail through its sting. After this substance came into contact with the activity, it quickly had a corrosive effect, consuming the activity in the armor bit by bit.
Originally, after devouring the motorcycle's activity, King Kong's activity had approached 49% of the overall distribution. Now, this activity distribution is slowly falling. In just one minute, King Kong's activity distribution dropped from 49% to 48.7%.
Nearly 0.3% of the activity is consumed in one minute, and it only takes an hour to fall to 10% of the dying state.
Once the activity of the King Kong is exhausted, the inactivated metal armor will definitely not be able to withstand the bites of mutant ants. The previous car wreckage, which is also made of metal, will be chewed into debris in a short time.
While Shen Cong was accelerating his intake of free activity around him, he was trying to hide the movement of the King Kong.
But it had no effect at all. The ants had identified the King Kong and were still biting it regardless. This is different from facing a prehistoric giant crocodile, where silence has no effect at all.
"How can I disguise it?"
The more urgent it became, the faster Shen Cong's brain turned, flashing many applications of activity, trying to find a feasible method.
"Extension, injecting active metal and non-metal parts, can use active guidance to slowly change shape."
"Alloys have active metal and non-metal parts and can be fused with other metal and non-metal materials."
"Conduction, activity has good conductivity in metals, but in non-metallic materials, the conductivity is much slower."
"In exchange, part of the activity absorbed by the King Kong will be transferred to Shen Cong's body through a magnetic field-like method."
"Absorb, King Kong can absorb free activity in nature."
"Swallowing, King Kong can devour the activity of similar mutant metals."
"Sharpening, using active can sharpen the active core, making it sharper and harder."
"Recovery, activity can restore Shen Cong's wounds."
"Strengthened, active-infused metal and non-metallic materials will greatly improve various properties."
"Radiation, the mutant emits a radioactive magnetic field all the time."
"Frequency, different variants radiate at different frequencies."
"Ingestion, mutants such as Shen Cong and Plastic Rabbit can absorb the rich activity in the mutant meat by eating it."
"Alienation and activity are the main factors leading to variation, especially in animals, where the physical signs are obviously alienated."
These are the relevant information about activity that Shen Cong has been exploring for more than two months. Even if we know so much information about activity, we still only have a glimpse of it, and there are still many things that we don’t understand.
"Extension, alloy, conduction, exchange, absorption, swallowing, sharpening, recovery, strengthening, radiation, frequency, ingestion, alienation... Huh?" Suddenly, a bright light flashed through Shen Cong's chaotic thoughts, "Frequency, frequency... that's right. ,frequency!"
Different mutants radiate at different frequencies, which he discovered after he devoured the Plastic Rabbit's motorcycle activity. The activity between King Kong and the motorcycle is on different frequencies.
Humans and animals can use their naked eyes to distinguish the differences between things, but what do ants use to distinguish
Shen Cong remembered that he had introduced ants in "Animal World" before. Ants use their antennae to distinguish smells, sounds and pheromones. So to destroy the ants' perception, we need to focus on these aspects. At the same time, the mutated organisms have more awareness of activity, and the frequency of activity will also be part of the perception.
The sound is easy to handle. The King Kong has stalled and there is no sound.
odor!
Need something stimulating to cover up.
"Six-six powder will evaporate into irritating powder!"
Shen Cong's car was equipped with 66 powder, whose scientific name is hexachlorocyclohexane. It used to be the most produced pesticide. Later, its production was banned because of its strong stability, high toxicity, and harm to the human body. But Shen Cong still bought more than ten kilograms of Liuliu powder from hidden channels. This medicine has a very good insecticidal effect.
Shen Cong immediately dug out the Liuliu powder, opened the window, and sprinkled the Liuliu powder on the ground and the body of the car. As expected, the mutant ants retreated away from where the powder was scattered.
Next, the most critical point is to change the activity frequency of King Kong to synchronize with the mutated ants.
