One night passed, and the sky was white.

After all, the plastic rabbit did not give Shen Cong much of the activity he expected, and the meat quality was not as good as that of the mutant ants. He took this lightly at first, but it didn't affect Shen Cong in the slightest.

...

Do your morning exercises, fix the King Kong, collect ant legs, and start researching the queen.

The head of the queen's corpse was well preserved, and the chest and abdomen had been smashed into rotten flesh by the King Kong's bulldozing knives. It could be vaguely seen that it was the original appearance.

There is not much difference in structure from ordinary ants, but the chest of the queen ant is not composed of three backboards as a whole, but a pile of bone plates, one of which has a basin The size, emitting a strong active radiation, is obviously the active core of the queen ant.

Click, Shen Cong buckled off this piece of plate armor that was more active than the tumor pig's full moon scimitar.

This plate armor is simply a shield. If it is too small, it can be embedded into the Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor and used as a heart shield. Presumably, the defense will be greatly improved.

In addition to the active plate armor, Shen Cong cut off the queen's two antennae and several legs as food reserves, but only three and a half of the six legs remained, and the rest were eaten by the mutated ants.

After checking the head and chest, Shen Cong's eyes were fixed on the already rotten abdomen.

He had seen mutated ants before, and took out a few ant eggs from the queen's abdomen. They didn't know what they were used for, but they must be valuable, otherwise the mutated ants wouldn't have carried one in a small group before leaving.

"Could it be to hatch new queens?"

Open the shell of the abdomen, and remove the thick, congealed white liquid - Shen Cong read the information last night, this white liquid is ant blood, the content of white pigment is relatively high, so it appears white - you can see, the abdomen of the queen ant There are many intestines, and inside these intestines, there are broken ant eggs one by one.

The impact of the bulldozing knife was so powerful that almost all the ant eggs were smashed, and a few intact ones were taken away by the mutated ants.

However, Shen Cong still found three intact ant eggs under the opened shell. After wiping off the mucus on the surface, they were in the shape of crystal clear eggs, not much smaller than short worker ants, with some bumps on the surface. It is a little heavy to start with, and there is a black spot at one end of the egg, which is probably a fertilized egg.

After searching and searching, only these three intact ant eggs were left.

No crops or stingers were found.

After a while, Shen Cong entered the anatomical research data and illustration information about the queen ant into the computer.

"Queen Ant, a mutated ant-like insect, is tentatively classified as the species of Ant Colony. It is speculated that it is a variation of the queen of the yellow-footed ant. It is huge, slow-moving, and has almost no attack power. IQ is unknown. , can see through the camouflage of the active frequency, and has the ability to command the ant colony.”

Later, Shen Cong continued to type a line of text: "The short and fierce ant colony should retain the living habits of the ant colony. The queen is used as a reproductive tool and commands the entire ant colony..."

However, after thinking about it, Shen Cong marked the text in red again, and added three words after it - ambiguous.

He had only read the information about ants last night, and the habits given in the information were obviously different from the habits of the mutated ant colony.

According to the records, an ant colony is a highly bonded group of interests, and there is no distinction between individuals, only the division of labor. Rather than saying that the queen is the ruler of the colony, it is better to say that it is a relationship of mutual use. The queen is only the founder of the colony and an egg-laying machine, and occasionally needs to hunt by herself.

It does not dominate the behavior of the colony as a whole, and sometimes the colony will select, kill, and even become food for the larvae.

But the mutated ant colony Shen Cong encountered had traces of hierarchy, and the queen could rule over other mutated ants.

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

Of course, it will definitely not be termites, the queen of termites, that is purely a tool for laying eggs,

Can't move at all, like maggots.

"Maybe it's because the mutated ants are all produced by the mutated queen, so they listen to the queen's orders?"

Shake your head.

There is no conclusive guess, and Shen Cong doesn't plan to delve into it for the time being.

Just record the results of your research.

...

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

There are too many things to do, and the time seems to be insufficient—need to research activity, need to ingest activity, need to build weapons, need to stockpile food, need to find supplies, and, King Kong was bitten by mutant ants and burst a tire without time to change , and can’t be replaced, the tire that was bitten by a prehistoric giant crocodile has not yet been repaired.

After several twists and turns and several crises, the active distribution of the King Kong has never been able to reach 100%, which is a huge pity.

Fortunately, every crisis stimulated Shen Cong's understanding and mastery of activity.

The lost activity can be replenished, and gaining knowledge is priceless. This is the difference between him and the beast. Beasts can grow and move desperately, but they don't know how to use them, and in the end they just bring him meat.

"It would be great if I met another mutant monster like a plastic rabbit..."

In a few minutes, the target location was reached.

The body of the mutated ant that died yesterday afternoon was still lying there. Shen Cong put on the Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor, equipped his weapons, carried a large canvas bag, and began to harvest active cores, ant legs, and crops on the ground.

The job took a full two hours.

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

There are 1433 ant legs, 221 undamaged crops, 206 pairs of mandibular active cores, 18 pairs of antennal active cores, 9 nodular active cores, and 4 sting active cores.

There are 357 ant legs, 53 undamaged crops, 52 pairs of mandibular active cores, 6 pairs of antennal active cores, 4 nodular active cores, and 3 sting needle active cores. Among them is a short soldier ant that has produced a pair of palm-sized bony wings, which belong to the active core.

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

However, there is only a small amount of formic acid in the crops of many mutated ants, which was probably consumed by the previous siege of the King Kong. The active core, radiation intensity and size of the mutated ants are far inferior to those of mutated monsters like Tairitian and Digger.

After clearing enough materials, King Kong set off again, away from possible dangers. The metal and corpses in the car wreckage square are likely to attract more mutated monsters, Shen Cong didn't want to get into trouble again. The King Kong has been traumatized several times and now needs time to mend.

After driving manually for an afternoon, the driving distance is not ideal, and there is no smooth road. For heavy trucks, it is quite painful.

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

When Jin Wu fell to the west, a ruin of human life surrounded by barren hills appeared in Shen Cong's vision. He saw the ruins of houses in a row, buried in rubble, and a complete section of the wall. It can be vaguely seen above that the signboard was once laid with iron letters.

"Stone Stream Hotel."

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

"Haven't gone out of Wuwei County yet?" 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 was shorter than expected, knowing that this was Shijian Town, it was easy for Shen Cong to set the correct driving route based on the map.

"The north of Shijian Town is mountainous, and it's not easy to walk. It seems that we must find Provincial Highway 208 and continue along the provincial highway."

Seeing that night was falling, Shen Cong parked the King Kong at the entrance of the Shijian Hotel and started his evening homework.
