"After the world fell."
"Everyone is devastated."
"It's hard to tell who's crazier..."
Looking at the Nanjing Ring Expressway, which had been dug up and almost irreparable, Shen Cong stood in the moonlight, lowered his head, and recited a monologue in a low voice.
"...It's me, or the world."
The night breeze blew gently, and the temperature had dropped to a few degrees above zero. Shen Cong, who was wearing a semi-activated armor and lined with swift leopard skin and golden dragon skin, was not cold.
"I'm constantly on the run from the living and the dead."
"Hunted by living scavengers."
"Haunted by the souls of those who died because of my incompetence."
"So I live in the wasteland."
"Now there's just an instinct left."
"Survive."
After finishing the monologue, Shen Cong suddenly turned around, got in the car, turned around, and drove towards Heliu District, preparing to change to another northbound highway, Shanshen Line.
Half an hour later, at the deep mountain line, Shen Cong saw the same dug-out section of road blocking the way north.
Nowadays, a lot of the yellow sand on the ground has been washed away, so it is almost impossible to drive a car on the rocky ground. Even a super large off-road RV like Donkey Kong has difficulty running.
It’s not impossible. We need to push away the rocks bit by bit and dig out a new road.
Just like when he drove the King Kong from Wuwei County to Juchao District, he drove several kilometers a day and spent all his time shoveling the road.
"We'll go back to Area 6 to camp first, and then we'll find a way to leave tomorrow... I hope the Death Eater Organization won't come to trouble me. I'm in a bad mood right now."
After finding a slightly open place to park and camp in Heliu District, Shen Cong started working every night.
He planned to combine the core equipment of the dead eaters to research some new equipment, and at the same time do some thinking about the evolution of the dead eaters.
The evolution of the Death Eater seems to be somewhere between a golden man and an iron man.
The evolution of the golden man requires a gold core, and the evolution of the iron man requires a vehicle. The death eater has no gold core and no vehicle, and can only rely on injecting C1 mutagen. In appearance, Death Eaters are not much different from ordinary people and Iron Man, but there are some differences. The fingernails and teeth of the dead eater have slight signs of metallic gradient, but there is no gold core effect.
This is an artificial metallic gradient.
When the injection of C1 was stopped, the body tissues of the deceased eater began to fail. The metal-gradient bones were quickly stripped of metal substances, and the activity was completely lost in just a few days.
This is a very serious side effect.
The medicine cannot be stopped.
"There is not much data yet, so it is difficult to judge the death-eaters. However, if a stable C1 can be developed and does not rely on extracting materials from living people, C1 may really be able to change the human landscape and allow humans in the old era to enter the new era together. The path of life evolution of the times.”
Due to the lack of information, Shen Cong briefly thought about eating the dead.
Then he started researching equipment like stilts, and tried it out outside. Walking on stilts was somewhat awkward, after all, they were not original legs. However, in terms of vision and advancement, stilts have unique advantages. After taking steps, as long as you master the balance, the speed will not be slow.
"I will practice more in the future. I will practice one-meter stilts first, then two-meter stilts, and finally try to practice three-meter stilts... But besides stilts, I seem to have other designs, such as... springs?"
Stilts brought a lot of inspiration to Shen Cong.
The human body is very mediocre, and compared with animals that have their own strengths, all attributes are mediocre.
It cannot outrun anti-jointed animals, its defense is inferior to crustacean insects, it has neither the wings of birds nor the gills of fish, its bite force is not as strong as that of crocodiles, and its reproductive capacity is not as good as that of Xiaoqiang. No dog has a keen nose to smell, no bat has a wide hearing, no eagle has a sharp vision, no pigeon has as developed eyes.
But the human brain is the most developed, and wisdom can make up for all shortcomings and use tools to improve efficiency.
Use the stilts to outsight the giraffes, use the wingsuit to glide across the sky, use the pole vault to leap, use the pulleys to walk like flying, use the bamboo rafts to cross the rivers...
Now, Shen Cong is trying to use springs to modify the footwork design of the semi-activated armor.
There are many classification standards for springs. Shen Cong only needs to consider two types now. One is a coil spring, which rebounds immediately after being compressed in a circle; the other is a leaf spring, which bends a plate and rebounds.
The force of the coil spring is up and down. Many sports shoes have specially designed coil springs on the bottom to increase the bounce force. This kind of spring must be designed to be small and dispersed to give the shoe a uniform upward force. Also because the spring must be small, the elasticity provided is limited.
The semi-activated armor can be designed at the bottom to increase running and jumping capabilities.
However, this can only be regarded as a slight increase in elasticity. Shen Cong wants greater elasticity: "I remember there is a design of rebound shoes that uses oval springs to quickly increase elasticity... There is also a design of spring shoes that use It’s a leaf spring, somewhat similar to stilts.”
Bounce shoes are also called bounce shoes. The blade prostheses installed on the legs of disabled runners are a type of bounce shoes. They use the rebound ability of metal after bending to increase kinetic energy.
For Shen Cong today, it is really simple to use a semi-activated armor to extend a pair of jumping sticks without much technical content.
Ten minutes later, the bouncing rocker extended from the semi-activated armor.
The overall shape is a curved sickle, somewhat similar to the blade prosthesis, but wider and thicker. The main reason is that Shen Cong's strength is far greater than that of ordinary people. The force of his foot on the ground cannot be withstood by metal that is too thin, even if it is an active alloy metal.
After extending the bouncing stick, Shen Cong walked on the ground steadily.
After jumping, it did not increase the jumping ability because the metal plate was too thick and could not deform. But when Shen Cong started running next, the strong pedaling force quickly deformed the bouncing rockers, and then transmitted even more fierce elasticity.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Shen Cong ran faster and faster, like a shadow flashing in the moonlight.
"Okay! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
As Shen Cong bounced and ran among the ruins, he could feel the wind crashing into him like a huge wave. His previous running speed was fifty meters per second, and he could cover twenty meters in one step. Now the same step, with the help of a bouncing stick, can reach forty meters.
The speed has not yet been accurately measured, but he feels that it is not much slower than the original Swift Leopard.
The Swift Leopard can run one hundred and twenty meters in one second, and Shen Cong feels that it is close to one hundred meters in one second - one hundred meters in one second!
This is a speed that is absolutely unimaginable in the history of human running.
Bang!
Shen Cong turned back, and the stimulation of speed made his chest rise and fall.
The cold moonlight shone on the silver semi-activated armor, shining brightly, and the blood was rippling in Shen Cong's heart: "All martial arts in the world are invincible, except the fast!"
…
The silver moon hangs high.
About six kilometers away in the Baguazhou section of the Yangtze River waterway, the originally calm river surface suddenly became wrinkled. An ugly giant salamander-like golden beast jumped out of the river, climbed to the shore, shook the water from its body, swung its tail like a shadow, and disappeared on the shore in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the surface of the river seemed to be boiling. One, two... more and more ugly giant salamander-like golden beasts jumped out of the water, climbed to the shore, and disappeared into the vast night. (To be continued.)
