Chapter 26: Stir-fried ant legs

Shen Cong's battle with the mutant ant colony ended with the tragic death of the queen ant.

And in the next few minutes, the mutant ant colony that lost the queen made Shen Cong enjoy a wonderful "afterword". The mutant ants first circled around the queen's corpse, as if they wanted to wake up the queen, but after a while, the queen did not respond, and a few bold mutant ants began to gnaw on the queen's corpse, and then more and more mutant ants joined the gnawing ranks.

This action was stopped by the other mutant ants, and the two sides fought a lot, and finally left a corpse, leaving about half of the mutant ants, each digging out a few white things that looked like ant eggs from the corpse of the queen, and then divided into several small groups and left one by one.

After the mutant ants left, Shen Cong immediately drove to the corpse of the queen ant, and after finding a way to deal with the mutant ants, Shen Cong's sense of security returned.

Quickly changed into the Optimus Prime 1.0 reactive battle armor, got out of the car and dragged the corpse of the queen ant into the bulldozer, and picked up the corpses of hundreds of mutant ants and came back.

Then I drove north and left the car wreck square.

But I didn't leave far, about two or three kilometers, it was getting dark, and it was not easy to walk at night, so it was more appropriate to stop in place.

Close the armor and light the lights in the compartment.

Shen Cong moved his aching body, and was going to do some research before dinner - research on plastic rabbits and mutant ants, and the corpse of the queen ant was placed in the bulldozer, which had already been held high above the front of the car, and it would not be too late to study it tomorrow.

Plastic rabbits were dissected first.

Bones, internal organs, muscles, and fur were all classified by Shen Cong one by one, but the result was very disappointing, there was no active core, which proved Shen Cong's previous speculation that between plastic rabbits and motorcycles, there is definitely an active core, or each other as cores.

"Considering that all the will of the King Kong is centered on me, I am considered to be the active core for the time being." Shen Cong typed the autopsy record on his laptop.

At the same time, I took a photo.,There are already a lot of photos in the album about the illustrated book and research materials.,Most of them are photos of dead mutant monsters.。

Living mutant monsters, Shen Cong is inconvenient to take photographs, and if there is a chance in the future, he will add photos of living creatures.

The dissection results were disappointing, the plastic rabbit lost its last research value, and was thrown aside by Shen Cong, and it will be cooked in the pot later, this is tonight's dinner.

Next, Shen Cong began to study mutant ants.

He first retrieved the "Encyclopedia of Insects" from the USB flash drive, found the relevant content of ants, and studied it against the data.

There are two types of mutant ants, one is the size of a mineral water bottle, and the other is a large bottle of Coca-Cola-sized mutant ant, which is dark and shiny, with only some yellow claws.

Shen Cong carefully compared the photos on the computer and came to an uncertain conclusion - probably the mutation of the yellow-footed short fierce ant.

"The mutant is correct." Shen Cong picked up a small mutant ant corpse and sensed the function of the active core on the ant's palate.

In fact, you don't need to probe, you only need to look at the abnormally huge upper jaw, and you can guess that this is the active core.

However, not every mutant ant's upper jaw is abnormally huge, and a small number of mutant ants' upper jaw is within the normal mutation range and is not prominent.

But these ants are also mutant ants, because there are several antennae that are abnormally gigantic and belong to the active core; There are several nodules in the middle of the thorax and abdomen that are abnormally gigantic and belong to the active core; There is also a sting needle on the tail that is abnormally gigantic, which belongs to the active core.

"The active core is not fixed, and all bone parts have a chance to mutate into the active core."

After finding the active core, Shen Cong immediately dissected a mutant ant, the overall structure was not much different from that of ordinary ants, and the muscle strength and shell hardness were very high. Found a sac in the tail abdomen, which contained an unknown liquid, Shen Cong accidentally pinched the sac, and the liquid was immediately spilled on his hands.

Suddenly, a tingling sensation came from the fingertips.

Shen Cong's heart jumped, and he felt the activity of his finger parts being corroded and eliminated by this liquid.

"This is the formic acid-like substance that consumed the activity of King Kong before, right?" Shen Cong said to himself, ants can secrete formic acid, formic acid is toxic, but now this liquid is probably not formic acid, and it is impossible for simple formic acid to corrode activity.

Shen Cong casually re-named it: "Let's call it strong formic acid." ”

Then I thought about the usefulness of strong formic acid - if we collect more strong formic acid, can it be used as a means to break the activity?

In the foreseeable future, the activity will be used in large quantities by humans or mutated monsters as a means of attack and defense.

Breaking down active defenses is bound to be the primary problem, so collecting a little more reserves now may come in handy in the future.

"In this case, I have to go back tomorrow and collect all the carcasses of the mutant ants."

People die for money, birds die for food, and Shen Cong is not exempt from vulgarity, knowing the wonderful use of strong formic acid, he temporarily put aside the sense of crisis about the car wreck square.

The queen ant is dead, and a large number of mutant ants are splitting away, and the Kongo's disguise will not be recognized, and it should not encounter much danger.

After inspecting the corpses of ordinary mutant ants, I checked the corpses of large mutant ants again, and the corpses of large ones were relatively few, only about thirty in total.

Most of them are the palate that becomes the active core, only one is the tubercle of the thorax and abdomen, and the other is the antennae on the head. It was also found in the abdomen that contained a more corrosive formic acid - named super strong formic acid by Shen Cong.

At this point, the study came to an end.

Shen Cong entered the information in the illustrated book in his laptop.

"Short fierce worker ant, a mutated ant-like insect, suspected of being a mutated yellow-footed short fierce ant worker ant, with negligible combat effectiveness, obeying the command of the mutated queen, and strong formic acid is stored in the abdominal sac, which can corrode activity. It is tentatively classified as a mutant ant of the short fierce ant colony. ”

"Short fierce soldier ant, a mutated ant insect, the same species as the short fierce worker ant, suspected of soldier ant mutation, combat effectiveness is negligible, the abdominal sac is stored with super strong formic acid, and the corrosive activity effect is better than strong formic acid."

The results of the study are documented.

Shen Cong began to sort out the corpses of the mutant ants, collected the active core and the formic acid in the sac, and left a part of the ant meat, and after half an hour, the sorting was completed.

Shen Cong didn't want the rest of the ant corpses, and there were still a lot of minced meat from Tai Ritian and tumor pigs in his car. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the meat has not been stored for a long time, even if Shen Cong seals the meat in the water and keeps it fresh at low temperature, there is no way to keep it for too long.

You can only hunt what you eat.

If you can't eat it, throw it away.

……

Tonight, Shen Cong made two dishes, a braised plastic rabbit and a dry fried ant leg. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are added to stir-fry the dishes in a regular manner.

Shen Cong has a reserve of condiments, but he is usually too lazy to stir-fry, his pursuit of food is not high, fried, barbecued, it is not unpalatable.

This time, in order to celebrate the victory over the mutated short fierce ant colony, Shen Cong was not too troublesome, treated himself well, and sacrificed to the Five Organs Temple.

The taste of the plastic rabbit is great, with the aroma of rabbit meat, the chewiness of beef, and the dishes after putting the condiments really soared, and I can't wait to eat the bones. Another dish is fried ant legs, which are even more crispy, like fried chicken nuggets, pick one up, bite into it, and crunchy.

"Well, this tastes good, I should fry a little more and eat it as a snack!"

Nibbling on the ant's legs, Shen Cong also took out a bottle of Wuliangye wine used for trading, poured himself two taels, and took a few sips. The roasted food taken from the Carrefour supermarket, there is still a little peanut left, take a bite of the ant leg, drink a sip of wine, and eat two peanuts, not to mention how sassy the taste is.

As the saying goes, peanuts and rice are drunk, and the more you drink, the more you have.

This petty bourgeois feeling, combined with the atmosphere of survival after the catastrophe, properly makes people feel comfortable, sweeps away the pent-up anxiety and depression in their hearts, and relieves the pressure in their hearts in this desolate and dangerous last days.

After a dinner, Shen Cong's stomach swelled.

The activity from the mutated flesh also began to escape everywhere in the body, making Shen Cong hot all over. Climb on the roof of the car and blow the natural wind carefully for a while.

The heat has only dissipated slightly, but there is still a lot of dry heat accumulation.

let Shen Cong find out his girlfriend again at night...... He has dozens of girlfriends who can accompany him through countless long lonely nights.
