The equipment of the hell mecha strengthened the defense for Shen Cong. However, the weird and ferocious shape also reduces the number of external weapons on the armor. It can only carry a small amount of handy equipment, and cannot carry a dazzling array of bone-gold weapons like the previous semi-activated armor.
It doesn't matter whether he has a weapon or not. In the current battle, Shen Cong basically just slashes with a machete.
All in all the new look is very strong.
The old semi-activated armor was abandoned by Shen Cong in the car, and then he rode on the four-legged dragon and continued to explore the cracks.
Because the lower reaches of the underground river are wide, Shen Cong rode a four-legged dragon and advanced quickly. He looked at flowers along the way and did not find many strange scenery. However, he found many mutated plants similar to moss on the crack walls. Covering the entire crack wall, it looks green.
Not long after, Shen Cong walked through the underground river. When he found that the crack disappeared, the underground river had risen from the ground in a dense forest, turned into a small river, and rushed to the north.
On the northern horizon, there is a silver jade belt, winding at the end of the earth.
"This is... Huaihe River?"
Shen Cong compared the map in his mind and quickly discovered that this should be Heqiao Town under the jurisdiction of Xuyi County, which happened to be adjacent to the Huaihe River. When the Anhe River was connected to the Huaihe River, the veil of mystery faded away, and there was nothing strange about it anymore.
Shen Cong even made a guess about the origin of the underground river.
"Before the apocalypse, there were no underground rivers or underground rivers here, not even rivers, just 20-mile-long mountains. After the doomsday storm came, the earth's crust was dried and cracked, or something like that. Then heavy rains hit, and huge floods The cracks were washed away, forming such an underground river that went straight to the Huaihe River."
"Later, the heavy rain dried up, and the underground river could only rely on the twenty-mile-long mountains. The seepage water from these mountains slowly flowed..."
This is a rough guess. Shen Cong is not a geologist and cannot answer the specific situation.
"go back."
After calling out to the four-legged dragon, he ran back to Guiwu Town along the barren mountain slopes.
It was already 4:30 in the afternoon, and in another hour and a half, Guo Shanni would bring back news about the eastern theater. Thinking about this, Shen Cong drove Donkey Kong directly back to the Xinyang Expressway and waited for the news.
The visit to the underground river has come to an end.
Basically figured out the ins and outs.
But Shen Cong still has many unknown questions about the hell chicken skeleton.
The first is how the hell chicken skeleton was formed. He regretted killing Liu Zheng too quickly. He should ask him where he dug up the failed metal life form... Unfortunately, he probably wouldn't get the answer if he asked, at most. Just like Shen Cong discovered the hell chicken skeleton, he sensed it and dug it out.
"It should have something to do with meteors... Of course, the changes in the entire world now have something to do with meteors."
Currently, Shen Cong has two failed metal life forms. The semi-activated armor is pure metal, and the hell chicken skeleton is metal-coated bone gold. The types are slightly different.
The life characteristics and operating principles are the same.
"I wonder if any failed metal lifeforms have been encountered in the eastern theater. If so, have you discovered the secret?" Shen Cong sat on the roof of the Donkey Kong car, watching the four-legged dragon dig things in the ground, his thoughts wandering. Far.
He found himself in a dilemma now.
He wants to be independent from human beings and find the powerful secret of individual immortality, but every time he encounters an unsolved mystery, he ultimately wants to obtain information from human organizations.
"I am very strong. It is very easy for me to kill ordinary golden men and iron men. My combat power is comparable to that of heavyweight golden beasts. Using tools, I can touch the threshold of super heavyweight golden beasts."
"It's a pity that human beings are social creatures and are known for their wisdom and technological civilization... My IQ is at most slightly smarter than ordinary people. It's a pity that I can't crush others in this aspect."
The individual's strength is strong and can easily be wiped out by wisdom.
It can be said that humans have no physical advantages in this evolution. With a population of more than one billion in China, not many have survived, and even fewer have evolved. Even if they have evolved, their talents are very ordinary, even those with more than 2 hours of talent. rare. Perhaps it is the mediocre body structure of humans that prevents them from carrying too many mutations.
However, the next generation of mankind's talents are increasing, and their IQ seems to be improving.
In addition, some of the glorious technology of the old civilization still remains, and a piece of survival soil can still be found.
…
After evening, Guo Shanni returned from the eastern theater and brought the news that Shen Cong was waiting for.
Political Commissar Liu Yiwu asked him to meet at nine o'clock tomorrow morning in Heping Town, between Hongze District and Huai'an City.
Heping Town is one of the important agricultural areas in the Eastern War Zone. It grows large areas of active fruits. Therefore, it is also one of the key defense areas in the Eastern War Zone and is under the armed jurisdiction of the Huai'an City Guard Battalion.
This place is less than six kilometers away from Huai'an City.
Before this, Shen Cong was reluctant to set foot in the key defense areas of the eastern theater. After all, this is not his home field. It is under the absolute jurisdiction of the military, and the risk of possible conspiracy is too high.
But this time Shen Cong agreed.
Because his status has been officially changed to a confidential personnel of the Eastern Theater Command.
Member of the Militarization Management Committee of the Eastern Theater Command, camp administrator in Xinyi City, with the rank of Army Colonel.
The Eastern Theater Command has the Military Commission as the highest leadership body, with eleven standing committee members and thirty-four committee members. These are the top leaders. Shen Cong is one of them, and his officially registered name is Hu Ge.
Of course, it doesn't matter what it's called.
Hu Ge, who sang and acted on TV, is probably dead. Even if he is not dead, it is normal for him to have the same name. There is no civil affairs bureau to check the household registration now.
The important thing is that Shen Cong's strength has been recognized.
Now the Eastern Theater Command still has a relatively strict organizational structure, and individual strength is still slightly weak in the collective. However, in the political atmosphere of unity and reconstruction, no one is willing to offend a powerful soldier, especially this soldier, who seems to be mentally weak. There is a little problem.
Very extreme.
This is a disguised form of "I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain". I would rather offend a normal person than offend a lunatic. Normal people are willing to reason and have ideological baggage and concerns. Once a neurosis breaks out, it will be revenge without a bottom line.
Change of job title, plus independent and autonomous camp manager position.
Shen Cong indirectly accepted his current identity. After careful consideration, he felt that it was impossible for him to truly break away from his human identity.
Resource exchange, information sharing, and weapons transactions with the eastern theater are all what he needs.
Especially the level of scientific research in the Eastern Theater Command was a huge disadvantage that Shen Cong could not make up for. As a pseudo-civilian, there was no way he could be more professional than those experts.
Meteor fragments, totem engine, lv1 era, active secrets...
Shen Cong could only scratch the surface of this series of issues, but experts needed to study the in-depth content.
He can just sit back and enjoy it.
Therefore, contact with the eastern theater is necessary. Moreover, he and political commissar Liu Yiwu are a bit hypocritical. Zhao Weiliang is now one of the 11th Standing Committee members. They are both from New Hefei, so they can be each other's horns. (To be continued.)
