Chapter 1: The Doomsday Steel Chariot

Shen Cong was born in Wuwei, Anhui Province on April 21, 2000, and his parents worked hard for half their lives, buying six large trucks and opening a transportation company. Later, the transportation company began to suffer from poor performance, and when housing prices rose, my parents sold five large trucks and bought seven houses.

Just after the Spring Festival in 2015, a car accident took the lives of his parents, and it also made Shen Cong, who witnessed the car accident, have a earth-shaking change in his personality.

No longer humorous and cheerful, no longer positive and optimistic, no longer making friends, no longer going out, no longer even reading, suspicious all day long, feeling that someone is trying to harm him.

Shen Cong, who was once called a "key university seedling" by his teacher and knew how to repair cars at the age of seven, became a persecuted paranoid. Relying on a large truck left behind by his parents, seven house rental fees, and 800,000 yuan in car accident compensation, he lived a life of an abandoned house.

Until one day in 2016, a post on the Internet changed the trajectory of Shen Cong's life again.

"Sooner or later, the end will come, as evidenced by the sudden changes in the weather in the past two years!"

The author of the post is obviously an environmental protection person, and may even be a civil science expert, in the post listed in detail a lot of climate anomalies, magnetic pole changes, glacier melting, frequent earthquakes and other data, I don't know how to argue, anyway, the final conclusion is that if the environment is not protected, the world will end sooner or later.

"I have a hunch that 2022 is the deadline for the end of the world! Human beings, if we don't stop destroying the environment, it's too late to regret it! ”

This kind of post, fooling rookies who have just gone online, may work, but dealing with old networms is pure nonsense.

On the contrary, the old networm is still actively planning below, once the end comes, how to save themselves, what to bring to seek biological products, and the discussion is very happy.

However, Shen Cong, who was immersed in the inner world of "there are always Diao people who want to harm me", immediately believed the author's statement - perhaps he wanted to find a spiritual sustenance for himself - Shen Cong decided to prepare for the end of the world now, in order to survive the end.

He searched the Internet for an outdoor survival exchange website, and began to pay attention to how to break away from the current civilization and survive better outside.

A month later, Shen Cong became a senior member, and he also had a complete doomsday plan in his heart.

It took him a week to compile the plan into a 90,000-word proposal.

Looking at the results of his hammering, Shen Cong was a little vaguely excited in his heart. Perhaps when his parents left him, his life became ethereal, so he set the goal of his life on the shadowless thing of survival in the apocalypse.

If there is an end times.

Then let this end destroy the gray world in front of you, strip away all the pain, and find a new self in the new world.

……

Thereupon.

Shen Cong, a persecuted paranoid patient, made the decision of the second year of secondary school when he was in the second year of secondary school, he wanted to convert his truck into a doomsday chariot and drive this chariot to survive in the apocalypse.

picked up the talent of car repair again, from 2016 to 2022, in six years, Shen Cong realized his doomsday chariot little by little.

Building a chariot allowed him to find a way to stop being decadent.

Facing the apocalypse, he can't wait to use it nervously every day to arm himself. No one knows what the end will look like, but making yourself stronger is the most basic response.

Push-ups, sit-ups, squatting, running, swimming, single parallel bars, taekwondo, nunchucks.

Even Shen Cong contacted a dealer who sold homemade firearms from the Internet, and after several changes, he bought three high-pressure air guns and two high-imitation **** pistols from the other party. And he also personally went to several police stations and armed police detachments in nearby counties and towns to step on points, choose routes, draw maps, and hurry to grab guns when the end comes.

If he is caught, it will definitely be a matter of imprisonment, but Shen Cong is not a dangerous element in society, he hid the gun after he bought it, and he has never used it.

To practice shooting, you go to a shooting club in a provincial capital.

In normal times, I mainly used to run a transportation company and rent an abandoned warehouse, renovate trucks, exercise, and learn archery, crossbow shooting, and slingshot shooting. The level of the bow and crossbow is no worse than that of professionals, especially the slingshot, within twenty meters, where to shoot, even if it is a soybean grain, it can be shot.

Bows and slingshots are definitely powerful weapons in the post-apocalyptic world, and ammunition can be crafted anywhere.

……

The weather was fine.

In China in 2022, under the vigorous anti-pollution action, the sky will return to blue. This is completely different from the post that Shen Cong saw six years ago, and the scene he expected. Shen Cong's belief in the end has also been shaken, but he has been persisting for several years, he doesn't want to give up halfway, and still continues to transform the big truck.

Zizi, zizizi.

The welding melted the steel together, and Shen Cong was standing on top of a large truck, attaching a small radar to a lifting platform. This small radar is a military battlefield reconnaissance radar AN/PPS-15A, and Shen Cong spent nearly 400,000 yuan to buy scrap from the radio enthusiast club in the provincial capital.

Those who have connections in the club can get some scrap products from the army, and then sell them to others at a high price.

In order to repair this radar, Shen Cong spent a lot of time learning this knowledge, and thanks to his smart mind and experience in maintenance, it finally took nearly a year to repair the radar today.

Because this radar is very precious, Shen Cong specially designed a lifting platform. When you need it, you can go up, and when you don't need it, you can lower it into the car.

Half an hour later, it was installed.

Shen Cong looked at the 15A radar with satisfaction, and decided to take sandpaper and a stalk, polish the welding part a little brighter, and then spray camouflage paint, then it would be perfect.

Bang knock!

Shen Cong jumped directly from the top of the car at a height of nearly four meters, took out the electronic car key on his waist, and aimed at the big truck wrapped in steel thorn armor.

With two clicks, the armor wrapped around the front of the car opened, and Shen Cong jumped up with an arrow.

The truck is Volvo's new FH heavy-duty truck, with a displacement of 16.1 liters, a maximum horsepower of 750 horsepower, 12 forward gears, 4 reverse gears, and a top speed of 120 km/h. This is the previous data, and now after Shen Cong's modification, it has completely changed, Shen Cong installed two 6-cylinder engines in the rear wheel position of the front of the truck.

The nine-meter-long container behind the car has also been heightened and widened as a whole, and is now three meters nine in height and three meters five in width. They are all wrapped with steel plates welded with steel barbs, but unfortunately, considering the load problem, Shen Cong can only install 16mm steel plates, so that a circle of steel plates can barely affect the speed of the vehicle.

At the front of the car, a bulldozer removed from the bulldozer is also installed, a full four-meter-wide bulldozer that can sweep almost any obstacles.

The enhancement of the appearance actually took much effort, and what really took Shen Cong six years to build was the transformation of the interior of the truck.

It can be said that this Volvo heavy truck, except for the previous name, other parts have been replaced by Shen Cong.

In order to block the weak part of the windshield, Shen Cong thought about installing bulletproof glass, but finally gave up this plan and changed to an all-steel plate armor package, as for the situation outside, it was realized with a camera and a periscope. As a result, the cab has been converted to an autonomous driving system.

There are eight computer screens, large and small, that control every part of the truck.

Shen Cong skillfully pressed the button on the console, opened one of the screens, entered a string of codes, and soon displayed the progress bar of the radar retrieval start. After about a minute, the retrieval was complete, the radar at the top was turned on, and a scan appeared on the screen.

Battlefield reconnaissance radar can detect moving vehicles, personnel and other targets within a range of 1,000 meters.

The reason why this radar was installed was that Shen Cong had always fantasized that maybe there would be an encounter in the apocalypse, and the enemy would be detected in advance, so it would be easy to escape. In addition, thermal imaging cameras are installed at the front and rear of the car, which can be used in conjunction with radar to observe the surrounding environment more accurately.

"Boom!"

The ignition started, and the three engines roared at the same time, and Shen Cong immediately drove the heavy truck around the square of the warehouse, feeling the wild impact brought by the chariot. If it weren't for the fact that the heavy truck was too shocking, he really wanted to drive out and try the feeling of running on the highway, and now he could only go around in a circle in a small square.

The warehouse was large and remote, surrounded by a wall nearly four or five meters high, blocking everything inside. Because it is surrounded by farmland, there are no taller buildings that allow you to peek inside.

Only the occasional local farmer working in the fields could hear the roar inside the wall.

If you walk into the wall, you will find that the foot of this huge abandoned warehouse square is full of all kinds of scrap and rusty steel parts, and broken tires are piled up in one corner, like a city wall. However, although there are many waste products, they are stacked neatly.

A small forklift was parked in the corner, apparently for scrap stacking.

Beyond the full display of scrap products, there is a steel structure of the waste warehouse, the warehouse is obviously some years old, many places are damaged, but it is rough with various steel plates pasted.

Wrap it like a scrap tin can.

In the past six years, Shen Cong gave up the privileged life in the city and lived here alone.

Having had enough of the addiction of driving, he parked the chariot in the center of the square, opened the armor at the front of the car, and Shen Cong jumped down. Looking at the sunlight, shining, flashing with silver-white brilliance, you can see dense welding traces, hideous and domineering steel chariots, Shen Cong's heart finally has a sense of security.

Then he checked the materials in the carriage again, and didn't know the exact time when the end came, so the materials that Shen Cong had reserved were all kept in the car at any time just in case, and then he also checked the load capacity of the King Kong at full load.

"The supplies are complete."

Thinking about it, Shen Cong took out a bottle of spray paint from his pocket.

On the armor of the heavy truck, he sprayed the name he gave to the steel chariot - the King Kong, except that it could not deform, it was as powerful as the Transformers, and more ferocious than Optimus Prime's truck.

"King Kong, if the end comes, you and I will be with you all the way!"

At this moment, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky.

Shen Cong looked up at the sky, and saw that in the originally sunny sky, a meteor shower started to fall at some point. One by one, the meteors drag their bright tails, and even in the daytime, they are still clearly visible. Suddenly, there was a shooting star, which seemed to be dragging its tail in the direction of the warehouse.
