Heavy Truck Chariot In The End Times

Chapter 27 Collecting Resources

One night passed, and the sky was white.

After all, plastic rabbits did not bring much hope for Shen Cong, and the meat quality was not as good as upgraded ants. I had taken this lightly, but the result did not have a slight impact on Shen Cong.

…

Do morning exercises, repair the Vajra, collect the ant legs, and then start studying the queen.

The head of the queen’s corpse is well preserved, and the chest and abdomen have been smashed into rotten flesh by the Vajra’s bulldozer. You can vaguely see the original appearance.

There is little difference in structure from ordinary ants, but the queen’s chest is not made up of three back plates as a whole, but is made up of bone plates, one of which has a washbasin. The size, emitting a strong active radiation, is obviously the active core of the queen.

Click, Shen Cong buckled down this plate armour, which was stronger than the tumor pig’s full moon scimitar and more active.

This plate armor is simply decorated as a shield. If it is too small, it can be embedded on the Optimus Prime 1.0 active battle armor and used as a heart-guard. It must have a large defense power.

In addition to the active plate armor, Shen Cong chopped off the queen’s two tentacles and several legs and used them as food reserves, but only three and a half of the six legs were left, and the rest were eaten by upgraded ants.

After the head and chest examinations were completed, Shen Cong’s eyes were directed at the already pulpy abdomen.

He saw the upgraded ant before and took out a few ant eggs from the queen’s abdomen. The thing is not known for what it is, but it must be valuable, otherwise the upgraded ants will not carry one by one in a small group and then go.

“Could it be to hatch a new queen?”

Lift the outer shell of the abdomen and poke out the thick, condensed white liquid-this white liquid was seen by Shen Cong last night. It was the blood of an ant. The white pigment content is relatively high, so it appears white-you can see that the queen’s abdomen There are many intestines. Inside these intestines, there are broken ant eggs.

The power of the bulldozer blade was too great, almost all of the ant eggs were smashed, and a few intact ones were taken away by the upgraded ants.

However, Shen Cong found three intact ant eggs under the opened shell and wiped off the mucus on the outside. They were crystal clear egg-shaped, not much smaller than the short-duty worker ants, with some pits on the surface. The start is a little heavy, and there is a black spot on one end of the egg, which is probably a fertilized egg.

Looking around, there are only three intact ant eggs left.

No crops and stinging needles were found.

After a while, Shen Cong inputted the information about the anatomy of the queen into the computer.

“Queen dwarf, an upgraded ant insect, is temporarily classified as a species of dwarf ant colony. It is presumed that the queen has been upgraded. It is huge, slow to move, and has almost no attack power. IQ is unknown. , Can see through the camouflage of the active frequency, and has the command ability to the ant colony.”

Later, Shen Cong continued to type a line of text: “The ant colony should retain the life habits of the ant colony, and the queen is used as a reproductive tool and directs the entire colony…”

However, after thinking about it, Shen Cong marked this text in red again, and remarked three words at the end-there is ambiguity.

He only read the information about ants last night, and the habits given by the information are obviously different from the habits of the upgraded ant colony.

According to data records, the ant colony is a group with a high bond of interest. There is no distinction between individuals, only the division of labor. The queen is not so much the ruler of the community as it is a relationship of mutual use. The queen is just the founder and spawning machine of the community, and occasionally needs to hunt by herself.

It does not dominate the behavior of the community as a whole. Sometimes the community will select and kill the queen, or even become food for the larvae.

The upgraded ant colony that Shen Cong encountered has traces of hierarchy, and the queen can rule other upgraded ants.

It’s not like ants, it’s like termites.

Of course, it will definitely not be termites. The queens of termites are purely spawning tools and cannot move at all, just like maggots.

“Perhaps because upgraded ants are produced by upgraded queens, so they listen to the queen’s instructions?”

Shook his head.

There is no conclusive speculation, and Shen Cong does not intend to go into it for the time being.

Just record the results of own research.

…

Driving back to the car wreck square, Shen Cong was a little emotional on the road.

There are too many things to do, and time seems to be not enough-need to study activity, need to ingest activity, need to build weapons, need to store food, need to find supplies, and the Vajra was bitten by an upgraded ant and a tire did not have time to change , And can’t change it. The tire that was bitten by the prehistoric giant crocodile before hasn’t been repaired yet.

After several twists and turns, several crises, the activity distribution of the Vajra has never been able to reach 100%, which is a huge regret.

Fortunately, every crisis stimulated Shen Cong to understand and master the activity.

The lost activity can be replenished, and knowledge is invaluable. This is the difference between him and the beast. The beast can grow and live desperately, but doesn’t know how to use it, and in the end it just sends him meat.

“It would be great if I encountered an upgraded monster similar to a plastic rabbit again…”

Within a few minutes, the target location was reached.

The body of the upgraded ant who died yesterday afternoon was still lying on the spot. Shen Cong put on Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor, equipped with weapons, carrying a large canvas bag, and began to harvest active cores, ant legs and crops on the ground.

This work took two full hours.

Finally, Shen Cong counted the gains, the total amount obtained yesterday and today.

There are 1433 legs of short-strength worker ants, 221 undamaged crops, 206 pairs of mandible active cores, 18 pairs of active antennae cores, 9 active nodular cores, and 4 active stinging cores.

There are 357 legs, 53 undamaged crops, 52 pairs of upper jaw active cores, 6 pairs of antenna active cores, 4 nodular active cores, and 3 stinging active cores. Among them is a short soldier ant, which gave birth to a pair of palm-sized bony wings, and belonged to the active core.

The total number of the corpses of the two upgraded ants is about 320.

However, many upgraded ants’ crops contained only a small amount of formic acid, which was probably consumed by the previous siege of the Vajra. The active core, radiation intensity and size of the upgraded ants are far inferior to those of upgraded monsters such as Tairitian and Digger.

After clearing enough materials, the Vajra set off again, away from possible danger. The metal and corpses in the car wreck square are likely to attract more upgraded monsters, and Shen Cong does not want to get into trouble again. The Vajra has been traumatized several times and now needs time to repair it.

Manually driving for an afternoon, the driving distance was not ideal, and there was no smooth road, which was quite painful for heavy trucks.

Especially the current ground, the slope is getting bigger and bigger, and it has come to the hilly terrain.

When Golden Crow fell west, Shen Cong saw a ruin of Human Life surrounded by barren ridges in his vision. He saw the ruins of a row of houses, buried in rubble, and a complete section of the wall. It can be seen vaguely above that the signboard was once laid with iron characters.

“Shijian Hotel.”

Shen Cong immediately recognized what this place was, Shijian Town, Wuwei County.

“Isn’t out of Wuwei County?” Shen Cong frowned. Shijian Town is more than 20 kilometers away from Chaohu City and about 20 kilometers away from Wuwei County. ten kilometers.

Although the driving distance is shorter than imagined, but knowing that this is Shijian Town, Shen Cong can easily set the correct driving road based on the map.

“The north of Shijian Town is mountainous and it is not easy to walk. It seems necessary to find Provincial Highway 208 and keep going along the Provincial Highway.”

Seeing nightfall, Shen Cong parked the Vajra at the door of Shijian Hotel and started the night’s work.
