Heavy Armoured Truck In Post-apocalyptic World

The appetite of blackheads is much smaller than that of mature larvae.

Perhaps it is already an adult, and the body has stopped developing, and it only needs to maintain daily consumption, so it eats less.

What's interesting is that the black head would not eat the scrap metal that Shen Cong threw to the black head. Instead, he ran all the way to the plastic box with the scrap metal in his mouth, and sent it to the mature larva. After making sure that the mature larva would not eat it, it simply took a few bites and then threw it aside.

"What kind of behavior is this? Surrender? It doesn't look like it. There is no hierarchy in the ant colony, and the individual members are equal. Then, it should be feeding. The black head may be a worker ant who picked up food from the outside and brought it back. The nest feeds the larvae."

"However." Shen Cong sighed with regret, "Just two ants can't form a colony at all, unless the mature larvae are queens... But queens don't mate, and they can't lay eggs."

The queen is a female ant with wings, and the males and females of different colonies will mate during the nuptial flight season. After mating, the female ants take off their wings and start to build a nest to become the queen. The sperm of the male ants can be stored in the queen for several years, enough for the queen to lay eggs anytime and anywhere when necessary.

Immediately, Shen Cong remembered that when the short ferocious ant queen died, there were several batches of ants, each picking up a few eggs and leaving.

Perhaps among those eggs were eggs that would develop into males and females, which would then form new colonies.

Shaking his head, Shen Cong didn't think too far.

He decided to raise Heitou as a dog, and train it to accept various orders while Heitou was still a blank sheet of paper. With this extra work, life suddenly becomes much more interesting in the boring weather.

"Blackhead, bring my welding torch!"

"Clamp it lightly, don't break it!"

"Heitou, go outside and move me a rock...it's that rock."

"Very good, very good, this is the iron bump that rewards you, eat it."

"Blackhead, break this bone for me, yes, that's it."

"Heitou, pass me the rhino horn cup, don't spill the water, or you will be fined not to eat iron today!"

During the training, Shen Cong found that the black head's ability to accept instructions was still very clear. But it can't be allowed to do too detailed work, such as holding a rhino horn cup. When the rhino horn cup was in Shen Cong's hands, half of the water was spilled, and there were two marks on the surface of the cup with blackheads.

Blackhead can't control his strength finely.

It can roughly lift a 30kg stone, which only needs to be hard, but it needs gentle force to clamp the cup, and the blackhead cannot grasp it.

Another point is that the blackhead talent has increased, the level has increased, and the combat power has also been strengthened, but the use of activity is still zero.

In theory, its upper jaw can easily cut metal. After all, from larvae onwards, they can scrape off metal powder and swallow it.

But in fact, the blackhead is still biting the metal with its mouthparts, scraping off the debris and swallowing it.

Instead of using the upper jaw, cut the metal into small pieces.

Shen Cong couldn't teach it this either, the activity was too complicated.

"Heitou and Yilishen have grown in size, so it is inconvenient to keep them in the King Kong car. Besides, insects are insects after all, so they need to be on guard. If I had known that I shouldn't dismantle the Humvee, I could convert it into a nanny car. Throw Blackhead and Yilishen into it to raise."

When they were larvae, it was quite interesting for Shen Cong to raise these two ants.

But King Kong loaded too many things, except for the aisle in the middle of the carriage and the utility room at the back door, there is basically no extra space for activities.

The kitchen and bedroom are not places where blackheads and Yilishen can go.

"Besides, the King Kong has already alloyed most of my supplies, and there are no sufficient resources in the car to alloy. In this way, it would be great if I could build another carriage. It can not only provide the alloy needed by the King Kong, but also serve as a Breeding room for blackheads and yilishen,

You can also store some unimportant supplies to make room for the King Kong compartment. "

"Look in the main city to see if there are any abandoned trucks."

...

The sky cleared up in the evening, just in time to see the setting sun and a rainbow hanging in the sky.

very beautiful.

Shen Cong was not in a hurry to drive the King Kong down the mountain, he was going to continue camping on the top of the mountain for one night, and then go down the mountain early tomorrow morning. Then take a walk around the main urban area, look for evolutionary trees that may bear fruit, and strengthen your physical fitness, at least on par with King Kong.

This is the only way to completely eliminate the siphon phenomenon.

The next morning, Shen Cong got up to check the surroundings, and suddenly found that Qishan had changed.

Yesterday was a bare barren mountain, but today it is a dark green mountain. On the ground, a layer of black and green things densely covered the entire Qishan Mountain. Even the King Kong was surrounded by this kind of thing.

"what is this?"

Shen Cong carefully picked up a little with a fork, and put on plastic gloves to check this kind of thing.

"It's very similar to lichen, but it's a little different. I can't tell what the difference is." Shen Cong broke open the lichen, and it felt very tender, as soft as fungus.

This was indeed the ground dish that Shen Cong had eaten.

Dirt vegetable is a common and peculiar plant, also known as lichen, which is precisely a symbiosis of fungi and algae. Algae photosynthesis produces nutrients, fungi plunder them, and surround the algae to isolate them from the outside world, so that the algae can only rely on the fungus to provide the substances needed for growth, thereby achieving symbiosis.

"Has this ground vegetable mutated?" Shen Cong could feel that the ground vegetable emitted weak active radiation, and only mutated animals and plants could emit active radiation.

It is difficult to determine whether the ground vegetable is a plant or a fungus.

But since it had mutated, Shen Cong treated it as a mutated animal and plant, and carefully studied the ground vegetables. The mutated ground vegetable was named "iron vegetable", and the data of the ground vegetable was recorded.

"Iron skin vegetable, a mutated lichen-like creature, can't be divided into attributes. Its growth condition is not much different from ordinary ground vegetable, but it can spread a small hill in one night, and its reproductive ability is amazing. Level data Lv0.083, Pk0.001, Gs0 .012, belongs to the weakest mutant creature I have ever seen."

The appearance of tin vegetables gave Shen Cong a new view on the ecological environment of the barren zone.

The mutation brought about by activity may not simply destroy the ecology of a place, although the food chain has become fragmented due to the extinction of most species due to disasters. But mutation also changes the evolution direction of creatures, just like this tin vegetable.

Before the rainstorm, Shen Cong didn't think that this low-level creature would survive, but after the rainstorm, the iron cabbage quickly occupied the entire Qishan Mountain. In terms of survivability, it was obviously stronger than higher animals and plants.

And with tin vegetables, there may be evolutionary beasts that eat tin vegetables for a living, and then supplement the complete food chain.

Then came the question, Shen Cong looked at the tin vegetables all over the floor: "Can the tin vegetables be eaten?"
