Heavy Armoured Truck In Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 4: Encountered burrowing insects

Views:

Once, he saw the remains of a building that looked like a factory building. Only the broken steel structure was left, twisted together.

Shen Cong went down to check and found no signs of life.

There is nothing moving in the battlefield detection radar scan, and the infrared thermal imaging camera is also unable to sense heat energy.

He thought that most people would not be able to survive this disaster, but at this moment, Shen Cong realized that he still could not adapt, and only his own desolation was left in the world.

And no food was found.

The supplies stored on the King Kong can only last for three years through frugality, and the diesel fuel can only last for one thousand kilometers. Shen Cong originally thought that after the apocalypse, gas stations would be free of charge, but who knew that a storm destroyed everything and there would be no gas stations at all.

Fortunately, King Kong has "alive" and he can slowly guide it to evolve and use solar energy or other energy sources as power.

Activity can be increased. Shen Cong has a deep understanding of this. A month ago, only the metal frame of the King Kong was active. Now the whole body is active, and it is fed back to his body, improving his physique even more powerfully.

It feels like killing a cow with one punch.

"If the direction is correct, we will reach Wuwei County one kilometer ahead." After estimating the speed and time, Shen Cong came to the conclusion.

However, there is no GPS navigation now, and there are no landmark buildings. Shen Cong has no way of knowing the exact location.

suddenly.

The body of the King Kong shook suddenly, awakening Shen Cong from his deep thoughts.

Immediately communicate with the King Kong and sense that something underground is hitting the chassis.

"Living thing?"

Shen Cong was not excited. On the contrary, he was very wary. He already had paranoia of being persecuted, not to mention that the impact came from the chassis. Slamming on the brakes, the King Kong stopped steadily in the yellow sand.

The living creature that hit was not big, and although the impact was fierce, it was not able to damage the King Kong, which had been reinforced by Shen Cong.

But not fighting back when attacked is not Shen Cong's style.

And he also wanted to see what could survive.

Bang!

Another impact caused the King Kong to shake.

Not knowing what it was, Shen Cong did not get out of the car rashly, but walked to the carriage, picked up a periscope from the tool room, then opened a fist-sized steel plate at the bottom of the carriage and raised the periscope down. Patients with insecure persecution paranoia are so meticulous in their work and have thought of every aspect.

The periscope rotated around the bottom of the car, and Shen Cong discovered the living thing that hit the car.

This is a large mutated bug that resembles a cockroach, as big as a King Kong tire. The tires of the King Kong were replaced from large mechanical equipment, with a diameter of 1.5 meters, which means that the mutant bug is 1.5 meters long. There are huge sickle-like chelicerae growing on the head.

Moreover, the chelicerae shimmered with a dark silver luster, like steel products.

Shen Cong couldn't understand this big bug.

How could there be such a huge bug

However, when I thought about it, King Kong was able to survive. A bug mutated, which should be very common in the end of the world.

Unable to change the situation, Shen Cong could only take a deep breath and accept it.

It seemed that the impact on the chassis made the big bug angry. It twisted and burrowed into the yellow sand, then suddenly came out and hit the King Kong chassis again.

There is a persistence that is not afraid of death.

This gave Shen Cong a headache. He didn't know how to deal with this insect that could only burrow into the ground. Seeing the insect's sharp claws, Shen Cong decisively gave up his plan to go down and fight the insect.

Since you can't get out of the car, you have to outsmart yourself.

Shen Cong suddenly had an idea. He took out a piece of bacon from the supply room. The calories and volume of bacon were not high. Shen Cong only stored a small amount to improve the taste. Put the bacon on the iron hook, and fix one end of the iron hook with an iron chain.

The twisted chain just reached the opening of the periscope. He was going to kill the big bug by fishing.

Then he took out another item from the warehouse, a high-pressure air gun that could spray steel ball bullets, and with a whistle in his mouth, Shen Cong was ready to catch insects. But when the hook passed through the hole, he was a little reluctant and cut off half of the bacon and took it back. Place the hook at the hole, aim the muzzle of the air gun at the hole, and blow the whistle.

The bug, who was stupidly hitting the chassis, immediately became energetic when he heard the whistle and saw the bacon.

It bit him in one bite, biting directly on the hook, unable to break free, and let out a fierce roar.

No matter how big a bug is, its IQ is only like this.

He originally planned to use an air gun to solve the problem. Seeing that the insect's IQ was so low and its bite force was not strong, Shen Cong simply took out an iron fork, pointed it at the hole, and stabbed it in.

Poof!

Shen Cong, who is as strong as an ox, can make a mark on a 10mm thick steel plate with all his strength, not to mention insects.

The iron fork was poured into the mouthparts of the insect on the spot and stabbed directly through it. The insect struggled for a moment and then died. Shen Cong could sensitively feel that this insect was also active, but now this activity was slowly fading away.

Open the secret door on the chassis and pull the bug into the car.

Shen Cong was ready to study this thing carefully.

After six years of building the King Kong on his own, Shen Cong needed to learn a lot of knowledge, which allowed him to develop the character of doing everything by himself.

If you are an ordinary person, after killing such a big insect, you may be surprised and throw it away.

However, Shen Cong used the spirit of research to carefully take photos, record information, dissect, and analyze the data of the big bugs, and then classified them in his laptop and stored them as files. He has a laptop specially used to record various information about the end of the world.

This may be the difference between him and others. While others are struggling to survive, he treats the end of the world as a new world to explore.

"The muscle elasticity is very strong, which is indeed the result of enhanced activity... But how is this bug related to activity? Is it because of the falling meteor like me?"

After recording the various data of the bug, Shen Cong frowned and pondered.

He named the bug - the burrowing worm.

Attributes are classified as - a mutated cockroach-like insect.

Combat ability is divided into - low IQ, very weak, and fierce personality.

"It seems that the size has become larger and the meat has become more meaty. I don't know if it can be eaten." Shen Cong cut off a piece of snow-white muscle from the leg of the digging insect. After experimenting with the acid-base reaction, no problems were detected, so he After cleaning, fry it and see if it can be eaten.

If you can eat, then there is a possibility of survival in the last days, at least there will be no shortage of food.

As the insect meat was frying on the induction cooker, Shen Cong began to study the two chelicerae of the digger. These two chelicerae were about the length of a hand and were highly degenerated into a sickle-shaped bony structure. However, Shen Cong always felt that these two chelicerae were more like metal than bone.

"Metal?"

"active?"

"What's the connection?"

Shen Cong frowned, unsure.

Everything in these last days reveals confusing changes.

There was too little information to figure it out, so Shen Cong gave up his futile research and began to taste the cooked insect meat. Cut off a piece the size of your pinky nail and chewed it carefully. After a while, Shen Cong came to a conclusion.

"I don't know if it's poisonous or not, at least it tastes... It's a bit like chicken, but not crispy and dry, like eating dry wood. I should put more oil in it next time when frying."

After taking a small bite, Shen Cong stopped eating and waited for a moment to see if it was poisonous.

He has kept several medicines and injections that can quickly detoxify on hand to deal with poisoning symptoms at any time.

in this way.

Start the King Kong and hit the road again.
