Heavy Armoured Truck In Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 23 The Ant Swarm is Raging

The black mutated ants came flooding in like a tide, making Shen Cong's face suddenly change.

To deal with the first hundred or so mutated ants, he could still rely on the King Kong's active armor to resist and lure them over to kill them one by one. But facing the densely packed ant colony, the King Kong could only be submerged quickly.

"How to do!"

Shen Cong took a deep breath and suppressed his nervousness. The more dangerous he was, the less nervous he was. His brain was running fast, and countless information and plans flashed one by one.

The crisis of the last days is always beyond his imagination and beyond the tolerance of the King Kong. The stagnant water caused by the heavy rain is a major crisis, and now facing the ant colony is also a major crisis. It is very difficult that the King Kong has no good way to deal with it.

After the rainstorm subsided, Shen Cong was already thinking of a way to seal the connections, including the vents, so that King Kong could become a diving tank. He made a plan, and when he arrived in Hefei, the provincial capital, he must install a few more motors to make propellers for underwater movement.

Because I don't know when the rainstorm will come.

Before the apocalypse, Shen Cong could only imagine the apocalypse based on the known conditions. He believed that there might be an apocalypse surrounded by zombies. Most of King Kong's transformation plan was designed for that apocalypse—— Spiked armor, plenty of weapons and food, little water and fuel.

If there is a doomsday on the level of "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012", no matter how you prepare, it seems that there will be a dead end, so there is no need to prepare too much.

Now it seems that the current end of the world is like a weakened combination of "2012" and "Resident Evil", which is unexpected.

Fortunately, the King Kong "lived" over, otherwise it would have been destroyed in the last days.

Now, it's time for crisis again.

Facing the raging ant swarm, Shen Cong didn't think about running away, because there was no way to escape. He quickly closed the steel plate, turned around and walked into the shelf where the weapons were stored, and carried the high-pressure air guns and pistols in stock to the window. With bullets and windows opened, it aimed at the larger mutated ants in the distant ant swarm.

shooting!

boom!

The high-pressure air gun shoots lead bullets. The high-pressure air guns that Shen Cong bought back then were all high-power models made by others. Although the power may not be as powerful as the high-quality imitation 6.4 pistols, they are superior in their fast rate of fire and high accuracy. In fact, Shen Cong knew how to make high-pressure air guns himself, but there was no punching machine, so the parts made were 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 mutated ant, simply shoot and kill it.

The lead bullet flew out, and a mutated ant with a huge jaw died on the spot. This large mutated ant is as big as a large bottle of Coca-Cola, probably a variation of soldier ants in the ant colony. But even the soldier ants, after being shot, seemed to be just small stones falling into the lake, without causing any waves.

boom!

Another soldier ant died.

Shen Cong was looking for soldier ants to shoot and kill, while thinking about how to deal with this flood of ants. To deal with group insects like ants, fire attack and water attack are effective methods, but there is no water pool nearby, and there is no large amount of combustibles. King Kong's speed can't accelerate on this terrain.

"How to do!"

Shen Cong fell into a situation where there was nothing he could do for a while, and his shooting hand was a little unsteady, and the lead bullets fluttered frequently. Fortunately, there were too many mutated ants, so he could hit them randomly.

But going on like this is not an option. The gas cylinders of the high-pressure air guns are full of 100 guns in reserve, of which the first 50 guns are powerful, and as the pressure of the gas cylinders weakens, the power will become smaller and smaller.

With the passage of time, the first high-pressure air gun has fired 60 bullets. At this time, the air pressure of the gas cylinder has also been significantly reduced, and the lead bullets are no longer so brittle after being fired. However, to deal with the mutated ants at close range, they still shot one by one. Now the ants have rushed around the King Kong and surrounded the King Kong.

Mutated ants breaking through the window,

There were more and more, forcing Shen Cong to abandon his gun for a dagger, swinging his fangs and daggers, cutting the mutant ants into pieces.

"More and more."

The activity was attached to the fangs and daggers, killing mutated ants like cutting vegetables, but it also caused a huge load on Shen Cong. If the activity was not added, the power of the dagger would drop by a notch. The shells of these mutated ants seemed to have produced similar Variation of metal, very hard.

A drop of sweat slid down his forehead, and Shen Cong didn't care to wipe it off. More and more activity was used to sharpen his fangs and daggers, consuming a lot of his energy.

So much so that he began to breathe heavily.

What made him more tiring than activity depletion was that he hadn't found a solution to the crisis. Shen Cong always believed that although he wasn't a genius with a high IQ, he was at least a smart person. If he wanted to transform a heavy truck by himself, he had to be smart. But being smart doesn't mean you will perform well in the face of danger.

Because he was inexperienced, he would even take some rash decisions for granted. For example, when he met a prehistoric giant crocodile, the best way was not to be curious, just endure it and let it go. But he insisted on figuring out what he was up against, and used the X-ray machine to annoy the prehistoric crocodile.

As a result, the King Kong was almost destroyed.

This was a lesson, which made him understand better what kind of environment he was in now and how to deal with it. For this reason, he formulated a survival strategy in the last days - don't let go if you can beat it, and run away if you can't beat it. If you can't run, you can pretend to be dead, if you can't, then go all out.

"Now... pretend to be dead? How do you pretend to be dead?" Shen Cong closed the window, rubbed his almost numb wrists, and panted heavily.

The load that consumes activity is too heavy.

Facing the tide of ants, after Shen Cong was sure there was nothing he could do, he finally wanted to choose to play dead. He suppressed the waves of emotion, concentrated his mind, and entered the body of King Kong with willpower.

In an instant, the King Kong sent back very dangerous information.

It can be felt that countless mutated ants have climbed up the body of the King Kong, densely packed, and after they couldn't find the entrance to the interior, they began to gnaw on the outer armor. However, the armor has active supports, and for mutated ants who don't know how to use the activity, they can't gnaw at all.

However, the mutated ant secreted a substance similar to formic acid from its tail through the sting needle. After this substance came into contact with the activity, it quickly produced a corrosive effect, consuming the activity of the armor bit by bit.

Originally, after devouring the activity of the motorcycle, the activity of the King Kong was close to 49% of the overall distribution. Now, this activity distribution is slowly decreasing. In just one minute, King Kong's active distribution dropped from 49% to 48.7%.

Nearly 0.3% of the activity was consumed in one minute, and it only took an hour to drop to the near-death state of 10%.

Once the activity of the King Kong is exhausted, the metal armor that has lost its activity will definitely not be able to resist the gnawing of mutated ants. The wreckage of the previous car is also metal, and it will be gnawed into residue in a short time.

Shen Cong accelerated the intake of free activity around him, while trying to hide the movement of the King Kong.

But there was no effect at all. The ant colony had identified the King Kong and was still gnawing regardless. This is different from facing a prehistoric giant crocodile, silence has no effect.

"How can I pretend?"

The more urgent it was, the faster Shen Cong's brain turned, and many applications of activity flashed up, trying to find a feasible method.

"Extending, injecting overactive metal and non-metal parts, can use active guidance to slowly change shape."

"Alloys, with active metal and non-metal parts, 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, the activity absorbed by the King Kong will transfer part of it to Shen Cong's body through a method similar to a magnetic field."

"Absorption, King Kong can absorb the free activity of nature."

"Swallow, the King Kong can swallow the activity of the same mutant metal."

"Sharpening, using activity can sharpen the active core, making it sharper and harder."

"Recovery, the activity can restore Shen Cong's wound."

"Strengthening and active injection of metal and non-metal materials will greatly improve various properties."

"Radiation, the mutant emits a radioactive magnetic field all the time."

"Frequency, the frequency of radiation of different mutants is different."

"Ingestion, mutants such as Shen Cong and plastic rabbits can absorb the rich activity by eating the meat of the mutants."

"Alienation, activity is the main factor leading to mutation, especially in animals, and the signs of alienation are obvious."

These are all relevant information about activity that Shen Cong has been groping for for more than two months. Even though I know so much information about the activity, I still only get a glimpse of it, and there are still many reasons that I don't understand.

"Extended, alloyed, conducted, exchanged, absorbed, devoured, sharpened, restored, strengthened, radiated, frequency, ingested, alienated... eh?" Suddenly, a bright light flashed through Shen Cong's chaotic thoughts, "Frequency, frequency... By the way, frequency!"

Different mutants radiate at different frequencies, which he detects after he devours the plastic rabbit's motorcycle activity. The activity between the King Kong and the motorcycle is on a different frequency.

Humans and animals can distinguish the difference between things with the naked eye, but what do ants use to distinguish?

Shen Cong remembered that ants were introduced in "Animal World" before. Ants use their antennae to distinguish smells, sounds, and pheromones. So destroying the perception of ants needs to start in these aspects. At the same time, the mutated creature has more perception of activity, and the frequency of activity will also be part of the perception.

The sound is easy to handle. The King Kong has been turned off and there is no sound.

odor!

Need something irritating to cover up.

"Liuliu powder will emit irritating powder!"

In Shen Cong's car, there is Hexa-6 powder, scientific name Hexachlorocyclohexane, which used to be the most produced insecticide, but was later banned from production because of its strong stability, high toxicity, and harm to the human body. But Shen Cong still bought more than a dozen catties of Liuliu powder from a hidden channel. This medicine is very effective in killing insects.

Shen Cong immediately found the Liuliu powder, opened the window, and sprinkled the Liuliu powder on the ground and the car body. Where the powder was spilled, the mutated ants really stayed away.

Next, is the most critical point, changing the activity frequency of King Kong to synchronize with the mutated ants.
