Chapter 2: A Storm That Raged for a Month

"Today's news: The mysterious comet is approaching the Earth, which may bring the largest meteor shower in the history of the Earth, and experts are calculating the comet's orbital ......"

"Where did this comet come from, why was there no rumor before, and what truth is the government hiding from us!"

"Oh my God, help, meteors are coming at me."

"At present, meteor showers have swept most of the eastern hemisphere, and it is reported that most regions such as Russia, China, Australia, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand, India, Malaysia, and Thailand have fallen into communication paralysis......"

"This is a devastating catastrophe, God, the Virgin Mary, the satellites in geosynchronous space orbit have all been destroyed, we have lost contact with the outside world...... Mayor George is trying to figure it out, everyone stays in their own homes and don't go out! ”

"Mom, I want Mommy, woo woo woo woo ......"

"This is Allah's sanction for Kafir, hahahaha, evil heresy, tremble in Hellfire!"

"Command center, command center, this is the Iron Falcon, request to restore communications...... Again, this is the Iron Falcon, request...... Yes...... Boom ......"

"Grandma, what's in the sky?"

"It's a meteor shower, baby, make a wish and it will help you come true."

"Oh, I'm going to make a wish to make grandma's body better......"

"Stop playing League of Legends, come out and watch the meteor shower, damn it, it's spectacular!"

"The ancient Mayan prophecy, postponed for ten years, has finally been fulfilled, the end of the world has come, human civilization will be destroyed, God, please guide us in the future."

"Hey, hey, hey, are there any more people, are there any living people?"

"Commander, eighteenth tsunami, we're leaning!"

"Nope! Liaoning ...... Unsinkable...... Rumble...... Didn't ......."

……

Watching the meteor fall towards him, Shen Cong's eyes widened, and the thought of "the end of the world" quickly filled his mind.

Perhaps mentally prepared, he simply reacted autonomously, opened the armor of the King Kong, and jumped into the cab. Then the ignition starts, ready to escape the meteor that seems to be about to smash at itself.

But the start speed of the King Kong was not fast, and when it just started to turn the tires, the meteor had already hit the tin jar warehouse with a raging fire, and the huge flames centered on the warehouse, engulfing everything in an instant.

Shen Cong, who was sitting in the cab, didn't have any superfluous thoughts at all, and passed out in a huge shock wave.

If at this time, look at the Earth from outer space.

A comet can be seen grazing the Earth's atmosphere, and countless meteors envelop the Earth like fireworks. Those meteors hit the surface of the earth, and the escaping energy storms came and went. The whole earth, as if there is an abstract painter, scribbling with paint.

Doomsday prophecies for 2022 in the post.

Come on.

……

Cracking sound!

There were countless small pebbles beating around, and the sound was endless.

Shen Cong felt that his brain was groggy and heavy as being filled with lead, and he had an unfamiliar feeling of expansion, as if he had become countless times bigger and become a behemoth.

Shen Cong tried to move his body, but there was no response.

It's as if my body is paralyzed.

Paralysis?

Paralysis!

As soon as this thought arose, Shen Cong suddenly woke up from his drowsiness, and he gasped for breath quickly. He has been exercising for six years without interruption, one finger can do push-ups, and the slingshot can hit hundreds of shots within twenty meters, and his physical fitness is his biggest reliance in the last days, how can he be paralyzed!

After sobering up, feel carefully.

Shen Congcai breathed a long sigh of relief, he was not paralyzed, his hands and feet were intact, his body was also intact, and he was not injured. Still staying in the cab of the King Kong, but the cab that was originally covered with computer monitors was pitch black, and it seemed that the circuit of the King Kong had been damaged by the meteor attack.

"The exterior armor was melted down in a large area, and a small part of the internal wiring was burned out, and it was in urgent need of repair......"

Inexplicably, Shen Cong found that such a message was born in his mind, which was transmitted from the King Kong number. It is an indescribable experience, the Vajra is like an extension of one's own body, being able to feel everything about this body, but not being able to control this body.

"What's going on?" Shen Cong frowned, extremely surprised, unable to figure out the reason.

At this time, the crackling sound of knocking and the whining of the wind outside the truck did not sound so friendly. Shen Cong didn't dare to get out of the car to check the situation outside, and he couldn't find the changes between himself and the King Kong, so he was extremely depressed.

But he needed to figure out what was going on outside, and when he escaped into the Kongo, he only saw countless meteors piercing the sky, and then a huge meteor hit the tin jar warehouse.

"Such a huge meteor, if it hits the King Kong directly, I will have no bones left now, right?" Shen Conghou was afraid.

From behind the driver's seat, a small flashlight was felt, turned on, and the cab suddenly lit up. Everything is fine, but there is no power supply, not even emergency backup power. The situation of the car is not the main thing, Shen Cong is most concerned about what is happening outside now.

Under the steering wheel, he found a lever and pulled it down hard.

Whoops!

The steel armor in front of the windshield suddenly cracked a gap, and a sunroof the size of a shoe box was opened. When Shen Cong designed and renovated the King Kong, he took into account the lack of energy, so there was a sunroof that could be manually opened at the location of the window glass.

Through this window, you can finally see what is going on outside.

A dim world.

The warehouse square, which originally had a tall wall, has become an open space, and there is not the slightest shadow of the wall. The flying stones, hitting the ground, immediately rose a cloud of smoke and dust, hitting the King Kong, it was a crisp click.

It's really the end of the world.

Shen Cong closed the armor on the windshield, fumbled behind the driver's seat for a while, opened the door to the carriage, and went to the container behind. He converted the truck into a combination of a chariot and an RV, and the containers behind it were wider, taller and thicker, and in addition to the necessary living space, they were full of supplies.

They are all canned meat, compressed biscuits, flour, honey, chocolate, as well as essential medicines, generators, wilderness survival tools, and other apocalyptic survival necessities that can last for decades.

As a senior member of the outdoor survival website, I often discuss with others what to bring when the end comes, so I am well prepared.

On the sides and rear of the carriage, there are sunroofs that can be opened.

The sunroof opens.

Shen Cong was shocked again, originally the sunroof at the rear of the truck should be aimed at the tin tank warehouse, but now there is no warehouse, there are only a few load-bearing columns, standing alone, the warehouse has disappeared, and one of the thigh-thick load-bearing columns has even been bent to ninety degrees.

In the gloomy sky in the distance, there are still meteors passing by from time to time, adding a touch of light to the world.

Looking at this earth-shattering apocalyptic scene, Shen Cong suddenly felt helpless in his heart, he imagined many apocalyptic scenes, there were zombies besieging the city, there was power disappearing, there were mutant monsters, there were alien invasions, there was the melting of the North and South Poles, and there was the eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano, but he didn't think that it was a meteor shower that brought him the end.

However, Shen Cong did not know whether this meteor shower occurred locally or the entire earth was swept away.

He can only rely on the Vajra to survive this catastrophe.

There is no worry about eating and drinking inside the King Kong, except that the space is a little narrower, but his carriage is carefully designed, although it is occupied by most of the space, there is still a place where you can stretch freely, and there is a treadmill in it, running is probably the most fitness way.

Seeing that the wind and sand couldn't stop for a while, Shen Cong began to calm down after a short period of distraction.

He is now more concerned about the inexplicable connection between himself and the King Kong than the end of the world, which makes him a little apprehensive and a little expectant.

……

The claustrophobic and narrow space can suffocate active people, but for Shen Cong, who has been at home for six years, everything is very ordinary.

Eat, sleep, exercise, watch the storm, and grope for connections to the Vajra.

In the doomsday storm that does not distinguish the day, only the mechanical watch is ticking the time, and this storm has been blowing for half a month in the blink of an eye.

It was as if the heavens and the earth had vanished in the storm, leaving only the crackling rubble crashing against the Kongo's armor and playing a piercing music.

this day.

Shen Cong sat on the edge of the bed, holding a Geiger counter in his hand, probing the radiation intensity in the car.

Half a month ago, when the end came, he found that the radiation concentration in the car had reached 320 microsieverts, and α particles, β particles, γ rays, and X-rays all exceeded the standard. This value is almost as high as the radiation content leaked from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, of course, this value is not very harmful to the human body.

Once, Shen Cong put the Geiger counter out of the car window and found that the radiation concentration was as high as 5 millisieverts, that is, 5,000 microsieverts. At this value, although short-term exposure will not cause great harm to the human body, long-term exposure to such radiation standards is quite harmful.

The doomsday storm has been raging for half a month, and those survivors who have no protection are estimated to have caused the harm of lesions.

Gradually, however, there was good news.

Shen Cong has found that the radiation concentration inside and outside the car has been declining, and the intensity of the storm seems to be much smaller than before.

"Bear with it a little longer, and the wind will stop, right?" Shen Cong said to himself.

This forbearance is another half a month.

After a whole month of storming, which should have been June 17, 2022, the storm suddenly stopped. When the crackling sound outside the car disappeared, Shen Cong, who was sitting in the cab and communicating with himself mysteriously, was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

I felt out the Geiger counter and poked out of the car, although the radiation intensity was several times higher than the normal level, but it was no longer enough to pose a hazard to the human body.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Cong carefully pulled open his armor and prepared to step out of the King Kong.
