Chapter 23: The Ant Tide is Surging
The black mutant ants came like a tide, making Shen Cong change color.
Dealing with the more than 100 mutant ants in the lead, he can also rely on the active armor of the King Kong to resist, and lure them over to kill them one by one. But with a dense ant colony, the King Kong could only be quickly submerged.
"What to do!"
Shen Cong took a deep breath and suppressed his nervousness, the more dangerous it was, the more he couldn't be nervous. His brain was running fast, and countless messages and plans flashed one by one.
The crisis of the last days can always be beyond his imagination, beyond the scope of the Vajra. The accumulation of water caused by heavy rains is a major crisis, and now it is also a major crisis in the face of ant colonies. Sadly, the King Kong didn't have a very good way to deal with it.
After the rainstorm receded, Shen Cong was already thinking of a way to seal the joints, including the vents, so that the King Kong could become a vehicle capable of diving. He made a plan, and when he arrived in the provincial capital of Hefei, he must install a few more motors to make a propeller, which can be used for underwater action.
Because I don't know when the rainstorm will come.
Before the apocalypse, Shen Cong could only imagine the apocalyptic scene according to the known conditions, and he believed that there might be a zombie siege of the apocalypse, and a large part of the transformation plan of the King Kong was designed for that apocalypse - armor of steel thorns, sufficient weapons and food, and a small amount of water and fuel.
If there is an end of the level of "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012", no matter how you prepare, it seems to be a dead end, so there is no need to prepare more.
Now it seems that the current end times, like the combination of the weakened "2012" and "Resident Evil", are unexpected.
Fortunately, the King Kong "lived", otherwise it would have been destroyed in the last days long ago.
Now, it's crisis again.
In the face of the surging ant tide, Shen Cong did not think about escaping, because he couldn't escape at all. He quickly closed the steel plate, turned and walked into the rack where the weapons were stored, and carried the stock of high-pressure air guns and pistols to the window. Bomb up, open the window, and aim at the large mutant ants in the distant ant tide.
Shoot!
Bang!
The high-pressure air gun shoots lead bullets, and the high-pressure air gun that Shen Cong bought at the beginning is a high-powered model made by others, although the power may not be as powerful as the high imitation six. Four pistols, but they win with a fast rate of fire and high accuracy. In fact, Shen Cong can build a high-pressure air gun himself, but there is no punch, and the parts made are relatively rough and inaccurate.
The high-pressure air gun that I bought is said to be able to kill a dog within 100 meters.
Deal with a single mutant ant and shoot it simply.
Lead bullets flew out, and a mutant ant with a huge jaw died on the spot. This large-sized mutant ant, the size of a large bottle of Coca-Cola, is probably a mutation of soldier ants in an ant colony. However, even the soldier ants, after being shot, seemed to be just a pebble falling into the lake, without making a little wave.
Bang!
Another soldier ant died.
Shen Cong was looking for soldiers to shoot and kill, while thinking about how to solve this tide of ant colonies. Fire and water attacks are effective ways to deal with swarm insects such as ants, but there is no water in the vicinity and there is no large amount of combustibles. The speed of the King Kong could not be accelerated on this terrain.
"What to do!"
Shen Cong fell into a situation where there was nothing to be done for a while, and the hand that fired the gun was also a little unstable, and the lead bullets were frequently floating, but fortunately, there were too many mutant ants, and they could be hit indiscriminately.
But this is not a way, the gas cylinder of the high-pressure air gun is full of 100 gun reserves, of which the first 50 guns are very powerful, and the power will become smaller and smaller as the pressure of the gas cylinder weakens.
As time passed, the first high-pressure air gun had fired 60 rounds, and the cylinder had significantly reduced the air pressure, and the lead bullet was no longer so brittle after ejection. However, it was still one shot at a time to deal with mutant ants at close range, and now the ant colony has rushed around the King Kong and surrounded the King Kong.
There were more and more mutant ants breaking through the window, forcing Shen Cong to abandon the gun and change the dagger, and the fanged dagger was waved to cut the mutant ants into sections.
"More and more."
The activity is attached to the fanged dagger, killing mutant ants like cutting vegetables, but it also causes a huge load on Shen Cong, if there is no activity, the power of the dagger will drop by a notch, and the shells of these mutant ants seem to have produced metal-like mutations, which are very hard.
A drop of sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks, and Shen Cong couldn't care about wiping it, and more and more active activities were used to sharpen the fanged dagger, consuming a lot of his energy.
So much so that he began to gasp heavily.
What makes him more tired than active consumption is that he has not found a solution to the crisis, Shen Cong has always thought that although he is not a bull with an explosive IQ, at least he is also a smart person, and he wants to transform a heavy truck alone, not smart. But being smart doesn't mean you're going to be good in the face of danger.
Because he has no experience, he will even take it for granted some reckless decisions, such as the encounter with the prehistoric giant crocodile, the best way is not to be curious, just endure it. But he had to figure out what he was facing, and he used an X-ray machine to anger the prehistoric giant crocodile.
As a result, the King Kong was almost destroyed.
This is a lesson, which makes him more aware of what kind of environment he is in now and how to face it, so he has formulated a little survival strategy in the last days - don't let go if you can fight, run away if you can't beat it, play dead if you can't run, and fight hard if you can't pretend to be dead.
"Now...... Playing dead? How to play dead? Shen Cong closed the window, rubbed his wrist, which was almost numb, and gasped for air.
The load of active consumption is too heavy.
Faced with the tide of ant colonies, Shen Cong decided that he couldn't do it, and finally wanted to choose to play dead. He pressed the waves of emotion, concentrated, and willpower entered the body of the King Kong.
In an instant, the King Kong sent back a very dangerous message.
It can be felt that countless mutant ants have climbed onto the body of the King Kong, densely packed, and after not being able to find the entrance to the interior, they began to gnaw on the outer armor. However, the armor has active support, and it cannot be gnawed at all by mutant ants who do not take advantage of activity.
However, the mutant ants secreted a substance similar to formic acid from their tails through the stinging needle, and after this substance came into contact with the activity, it quickly produced a corrosive effect, and gradually consumed the activity in the armor.
Originally, after devouring the activity of the motorcycle, the activity of the King Kong was close to the overall distribution of 49%, and now, this activity distribution is slowly declining. In just one minute, the active distribution of the diamond dropped from 49% to 48.7%.
One minute consumes nearly 0.3% of the active energy, and it only takes an hour to fall to a 10% near-death state.
Once the activity of the King Kong is consumed, the metal armor that has lost its vitality will definitely not be able to resist the bite of the mutant ants, and the wreckage of the previous car, which is also metal, will be eaten into residue in a short time.
Shen Cong accelerated the ingestion of the free activity around him, and tried to hide the movement of the King Kong.
But the effect was not at all, and the ant colony had already recognized the King Kong and was still gnawing regardless of it. Unlike in the face of prehistoric crocodiles, silence has no effect at all.
"How can I disguise it?"
The more urgent, the faster Shen Cong's brain turned, flashing a lot of use of activity, trying to find a feasible way.
"Extensive, injected with reactive metal and non-metal parts, which can be guided by activity to slowly change form."
"Alloys, which have active metallic and non-metallic parts, can be fused with other metallic and non-metallic materials."
"Conduction, activity has good conductivity in metals, and in non-metallic materials, conductivity is much slower."
"Exchange, the activity absorbed by the King Kong will be transferred to Shen Cong's body in a way similar to a magnetic field."
"Absorption, King Kong can absorb the free activity of nature."
"Devour, the King Kong can devour the activity of the same kind of mutant metal."
"Sharpening, using the active can sharpen the active core, sharper and harder."
"Recovery, activity can restore Shen Cong's wounds."
"Strengthened, activated injected metal and non-metal materials will greatly enhance various properties."
"Radiation, mutants emit a radiant magnetic field similar to radioactivity all the time."
"Frequency, the frequency of radiation varies from variant to variant."
"Ingestion, Shen Cong, plastic rabbits and other mutants can absorb the rich activity by eating the meat of the mutants."
"Alienation, activity is the main factor that leads to variation, especially in animals, and the alienation of signs is obvious."
These are all relevant information about activity that Shen Cong has been exploring for more than two months. Even if I know so much information about the activity, I still only have a glimpse of it, and there are still many things I can't understand.
"Spread, Alloy, Conduct, Exchange, Absorption, Devouring, Sharpening, Restoration, Strengthening, Radiation, Frequency, Ingestion, Alienation...... Well? Suddenly, a bright light crossed Shen Cong's chaotic thoughts, "Frequency, frequency...... That's right, frequency! ”
Different mutants radiate at different frequencies, as he noticed after devouring the motorcycle activity of the plastic rabbit. The activity between the King Kong and the motorcycle is at different frequencies.
People and animals can distinguish the difference between things with the naked eye, but what do ants use to distinguish things?
Shen Cong remembered that he had seen "Animal World" introduce ants before, and ants used their antennae to distinguish smells, sounds, and pheromones, so to destroy the perception of ants, it was necessary to start in these aspects. At the same time, the mutated organisms have more perception of activity, and the frequency of activity will also be part of the perception.
The sound is easy to do, the King Kong has been extinguished, and there is no sound.
Smell!
It needs to be covered by something irritating.
"Six-six powder volatilizes irritating powder!"
Shen Cong's car has hexahexane powder, the scientific name of hexachlorocyclohexane, which used to be the largest insecticide, but was later banned because of its strong stability, toxicity and harm to the human body. But Shen Cong still bought more than a dozen catties of Liuliu powder from hidden channels, and this medicine has a very good insecticidal effect.
Shen Cong immediately found the Liuliu powder, opened the window, and sprinkled the Liuliu powder on the ground and the body, where the powder was spilled, the mutant ants really retreated.
Next, the most critical point is to change the activity frequency of the King Kong to synchronize with the mutant ants.
