Chapter 28: A Touch of Green

“At 19:28 on July 27, another blow fly died, and three are left. There is no movement of the previous fly eggs.”

At night, Shen Cong went to exchange more active meat for the blow fly, and by the way observed the eggs laid by the blow fly. A cluster of fly eggs with a large needle tip grew on the rotten meat like long hairs and did not hatch.

For fly eggs, Shen Cong is looking forward to it.

He speculated that the reason why the dwarf ant colony has so many upgraded ants is that the upgraded dwarf queen may cause all the ants produced to be upgraded. From this, it can be deduced that upgraded, or activity, can be inherited… If the upgraded fly hatches out of the flies eggs, then he will have a better understanding of activity.

Of course, compared to the expectation of fly eggs, Shen Cong’s biggest expectation now is the eggs laid by the three short and fierce queens.

If upgraded ants can be hatched and raised from an early age, I don’t know what the effect will be.

“These three ant eggs were taken out of the queen’s body. I don’t know if they are mature or if they can hatch. According to the data, it takes 14 days for the ant eggs to hatch. I will try to hatch them.”

Even if the incubation fails, it can be used as an egg, boiled and eaten.

Since the arrival of the end of the world, Shen Cong has changed his own food objects. Basically, as long as they contain active things, they are finally on his menu.

Put the ant eggs in the box and wait for it to hatch.

Shen Cong embarked on another job. He began to classify the formic acid in the upgraded ant’s crops according to strong formic acid and super strong formic acid and pour them into different containers. Acids cannot be used in plastic bottles. For this reason, Shen Cong took out a few bottles of canned fruit, ate the pulp and drank the juice, and used it as a container.

After pouring the crops of 221 short-duty worker ants, only two 1L full bottles and one and a half bottles were obtained. The crops of 53 dwarf soldier ants received a full bottle of 1L.

Three bottles of semi-formic acid were collected by Shen Cong.

He hasn’t used this kind of thing yet.

Then tidy the ant legs.

There are a lot of ants’ legs, but they don’t take up much volume. One has only the thickness of chopsticks, and the length is about the same as the body length; the legs of the stubby ants are not much larger than the ants, and the length and thickness are about the same. .

An ant leg has five sections, the base section, the trochanter, the femur, the tibia, and the tarsus. The basal section belongs to the leg root, which is severely ossified and cannot be eaten. There is no meat, only the thigh and tibia have meat, which is equivalent to the thigh and calf. It tastes great.

Shen Cong cleaned the basal joints, rotator joints, and tarsal joints, leaving only the thigh and tibial joints, and then prepared to fry them briefly and eat them as snacks.

“I was eating fried ant legs in People’s Square, and where are you at this moment…” Shen Cong hummed.

When frying, the ant legs exude an attractive fragrance. After frying a batch, put it in a carton and eat it like French fries. If it’s some more ketchup, tut.

After all the ant legs were exploded, they were filled with six shoe boxes, enough for him to eat for several days, if they didn’t go bad.

The legs of ordinary upgraded ants can be used as snacks, while the three and a half legs and a pair of tentacles of the short queen can be eaten as meals. The legs of the queen ant have a thick mineral water bottle cap, which is longer than a human arm, and emits strong active radiation.

Now it’s Shen Cong’s turn to worry about the excess food.

Tumor pig meat steaks, Tairitian dog legs, fried ant legs, and queen meat ingredients. Unfortunately, before the end of the day, Shen Cong did not have the idea of ​​storing frozen meat. Because freezing is too expensive, the cold storage is not added. All stored dry and easy-to-preserve food.

As for the on-board refrigerator, there is a small compressor refrigerator. Water entered during the rainstorm and the internal system was broken, and there was no time to repair it. And even if it was repaired, the volume was not large, and the cooling effect was not good. He simply got one at that time and didn’t prepare much for this.

In order to store that short-term food, it is not cost-effective to design a refrigerator that occupies the volume, the power, and the effect is sloppy.

As a result, there is so much meat now that it will rot if it is not thrown away.

“It’s wasted. If you find a survivor base, you may be able to rely on upgraded monsters in exchange for supplies… When the survivor base is found, Life is stabilized, and the Vajra needs to be remodeled to better deal with the end times.”

Today’s end times, and the end times he prepared for it, are very different.

It’s nine o’clock in the evening.

Shen Cong originally planned to continue sorting out the active core harvested today, but the repair of the Vajra needs to be solved urgently. He still chose to guide the active to repair the tires.

Vajra has 22 tires and 1 spare tire. Now the spare tire has burst, and one of the tires in use has also burst, which poses a safety hazard.

He dragged the spare tire into the compartment, used a tire repair tool to complete the repair, and then used the active extension property to restore the tire to its original state.

After midnight, the spare tire was finally completely repaired and Shen Cong went to sleep.



The next day, it was a cloudy day.

The weather in the last days was extreme. First, there was a storm that lasted for a month, then a period of sunny days, then a heavy rainstorm, and then another period of sunny days.

It’s rare to see a cloudy sky.

This time Shen Cong was almost taken aback when he saw a cloudy day, and he was about to drive to the high ground, but there were no patches of dark clouds on this cloudy day. It’s just that on a cloudy day similar to haze, the free activity in the air is much stronger than that in a sunny day, and the number of the Geiger counter has risen by more than nine times.

In the past, Shen Cong would also avoid radiation. After he almost concluded that the radiation was caused by activity, he liked the air quality of the radiation explosion meter.

With such a wealth of free activity, even the Vajra seemed to have a happy mood, which was fed back to Shen Cong.

The comfort of the limbs will affect the emotions.

Shen Cong is a person who is not easily influenced by emotions. He is vigilant and alert. When he leaves the Vajra activity, he is still wearing the Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor with full arms.

After patrolling all corners, start working again. Every few minutes, you have to look up around you, and every half an hour, you have to patrol again.

Caution is the boat.

Putting on the repaired spare tire, Shen Cong went back on the road. He drove the Vajra slowly among the ruins.

Look for Provincial Road 208.

The face of Shijian Town was completely revealed in Shen Cong’s eyes after half an hour. There are no standing buildings, but the original sites of most buildings are still faintly visible. The road under the gravel was found without much effort, but there was a fork in the front, and Shen Cong was observing.

“The main branch road on the left should be the county road leading to the moss forest farm, the one on the right should be the county road leading to Taiping Township, and the middle one should be the provincial road 208.”

After confirming the route, Shen Cong drove away without wasting time.

Shijian Town is close to the mountains. Provincial Highway 208 runs through the valleys. The green mountains have turned into exposed limestone, which is gray-white, and may be mixed with kaolin. Both of these rocks are white and look like dirty snow-capped mountains from a distance.

It was supposed to be the valley bottom of the provincial road. It was piled up by this kind of gray-white rock, and it was quite difficult to navigate in some places.

Perhaps it was the scouring of the rainstorm, and occasionally a section of smooth road appeared. The end of the day did not bring about an earthquake, so the roadside was just potholes obvious, but there was no break, uplift, or subsidence.

Stop and go, slow down and accelerate.

In half an hour, the Vajra traveled less than five kilometers.

What made Shen Cong stomped even more was that five kilometers away, the road was completely blocked by a landslide and a large amount of rubble. This made Shen Cong had to turn the front of the car, return to the fork, and detour from the village road in the direction of Taiping Township. The width of the Vajra car will be faster than the two villages, which will definitely be more troublesome.

But no matter how troublesome it is, there are roads as the cornerstone. Vajra’s 1.5-meter tires can move forward as long as the terrain is not too bumpy.

Detour around the village, surrounded by “snow mountains” on both sides.

The car radio was always on, the sizzling noise kept on, and there was no search for the signal that appeared that day. Shen Cong bit an ant leg and was a little tired. Driving by himself for a long time and driving on a bumpy road will inevitably be tired.

Fortunately, the active heat generated by the ant’s legs refreshes him from time to time.

Suddenly, in the light of Shen Cong’s vision, a touch of green appeared in the grayish white.

Emerald green.
