Chapter 12: The World After the Rain
"At 15 o'clock on July 11, 2022, the stagnant water caused by the heavy rain completely subsided, and only a wet layer remained, so I decided to go out and straighten the King Kong." Taking out the laptop from the sealed bag, clicking on the "Doomsday Diary" document, and recording this text, Shen Cong turned off the computer again, and then put it back in.
He doesn't know how others survive in the last days, he just lives and lives here in his own way.
Recording what he experiences every day, the progress of each research, and the events that occur every time is an obsessive-compulsive hobby of him.
Now the King Kong is on the ground and needs to be straightened to get the tires on the ground.
Before you go out, of course, you have to take safety precautions.
The unknown monster that can bite off steel bars underground, the suspected prehistoric giant crocodile that uses the King Kong as a toy, the stormy storm and the stagnant water several meters deep all indicate that the post-apocalyptic world has been reversed, and humans are no longer creatures standing at the top of the food chain.
It took half an hour to re-alloy the Optimus Prime 1.0 Active Warframe, which had degenerated into ordinary iron armor, into the re-alloy.
It will take another half an hour to move six. Four pistols and one metal crossbow are all alloyed and filled with abundant activity.
Armed protection is complete.
Activity is a good thing, and any item made of metal can be quickly alloyed. Non-metallic materials can also be alloyed, but the progress is relatively slow. The remaining 15% of the inactive parts of the King Kong before the rainstorm are all non-metallic components that are difficult to chew.
This high imitation six. The four-pistol is made of metal, and the last time he created the Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor, Shen Cong easily controlled the King Kong to give the alloy.
With an active pistol, the power of Shen Cong is still unclear, and he has not fired a single shot so far.
Shen Cong also has three high-pressure air guns, all of which are imitation submachine guns and rifles, but they are plastic shells, the alloy is more troublesome, and the power is not necessarily as powerful as the pistol.
Wearing an active battle armor, holding an active pistol, a telescope hanging on his chest, a fanged dagger stuck in his waist, and an active crossbow pinned to his back, Shen Cong, who was fully armed, turned out the King Kong with a jack.
Shen Cong first cautiously inspected the surrounding environment.
In fact, when it comes to patrolling, Shen Cong should have had a high-tech equipment that specializes in acting as an electronic eye - DJI Phantom 8th generation drone.
He thought that DJI 8 would shine in the last days and become his electronic eye.
In fact, in the current environment of high radiation concentration, the DJI 8's effective signal reception distance is only less than 20 meters, which is about the same distance as his remote-controlled toy car. GPS and BDS have been unable to receive, and the satellite positioning system cannot be turned on, so the drone is directly scrapped.
A camera at a height of 20 meters is not as far as he can see with a telescope.
So after playing DJI 8 once before, Shen Cong regretfully put it away. After he has studied the radio one day and completed the upgrade of the communication system, he will see if there is a chance to make the DJI 8 a real electronic eye.
Now, manpower patrols.
The world where the water recedes looks very chic.
The ground paved with yellow sand and gravel was washed away by the flood-like rain, and most of the sand and gravel were carried away. Therefore, on the ground, there are dry waterways, and the embankments of the waterways are large stones that cannot be washed away. Some of these large stones, if carefully identified, can also reveal traces of some building materials, apparently from the ruins of high-rise buildings.
Although the terrain has become fragmented and potholed, the reduction of yellow sand and gravel has greatly reduced the threat from underground.
Shen Cong didn't think that the digging insects, a monster that sneaked up from the yellow sand, could burrow in the rocks.
Of course, the road has become difficult to walk.
"The King Kong is equipped with bulldozers, and stones that are in the way can be pushed away."
After making sure that there was no danger, Shen Cong got into the carriage of the King Kong and dragged out three huge iron clips, which he had taken the time to weld the hunting tools, and since he met the big tooth rat that day, he began to build the hunting clips. Limited to the lack of steel, plus the loss of one in the Carrefour supermarket, a total of only four were made.
The trap is thrown around the King Kong and acts as the first line of defense.
Only then did Shen Cong lower his vigilance slightly, and used a jack to raise the King Kong little by little.
It's a cumbersome process.
Shen Cong only had one jack, so he had to lift the King Kong a little first, then move a big stone from the side to cushion it under the carriage, and then slowly move the jack to cushion the stone and raise it. Every time you raise a little bit, you have to choose a bigger stone and toss it back and forth.
There is a bull and a half strength, but in the face of the thirty-ton King Kong, it still looks too weak.
During this period, I had to patrol around from time to time, use binoculars to probe the movement in the distance, and check for danger, so it took a lot of time. The work began at half past three, and at half past six, when the sun was sinking in the west, the King Kong was finally righted to a 45-degree angle, and the center of gravity began to shift.
At this time, Shen Cong suddenly pushed hard.
Bang knock!
The King Kong flipped over, and 22 tires landed smoothly.
At this time, looking at the King Kong, you can see that the part of the front of the car and the part of the carriage has been twisted at a very large angle, and the load-bearing rod of part of the chassis has cracks. The outer steel plate armor is covered with dense scratches, abrasions, and tooth marks.
Originally, the steel plate armor was filled with steel spikes, but now the steel spikes were bent in pieces.
Several headlights at the front of the car have all been shattered.
This is all the result of the destruction of the monster suspected of being a prehistoric giant crocodile in the water. This is still only the surface, the internal damage is more serious, not to mention how many electronic components are soaked in water, just the damage to the materials in the carriage is a major loss.
He used a sealed bag to preserve the important material, but during the impact of the King Kong, several delicate electronic devices were still scrapped.
"Change the tires again and go in."
Shen Cong glanced at the sky, straightened the King Kong, and immediately began to change the tires, and a tire near the rear of the carriage was bitten by a monster. The tires are special tires with a diameter of one meter and five, and in order to install this kind of tires, the chassis of the carriage trailer is specially modified, and the axle spacing has been changed a lot.
At the beginning of the construction of the King Kong, Shen Cong preferred the trailer, which is a two-section container.
One is that the cargo capacity is relatively large, and the other is that the gecko can cut off its tail and discard the latter container if necessary. However, due to the power load, a separate container was finally chosen.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Cong, who got a lot of engine oil, successfully changed the tires.
The punctured tire he hung on the chassis again, and when he had time, he could slowly repair it with activation, and he only had such a spare tire.
After retrieving the hunting clips, and taking one last look at the red sun that was about to fall into the horizon, and the bright red sunset flying in the sky, Shen Cong returned to the King Kong, he had not slept for two days and one night.
Have a good night's rest.
From tomorrow onwards, we will do our best to guide the activity and repair the Vajra.
