Heavy Armoured Truck In Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 12: The World After the Rain

At 15:00 on July 11, 2022, the accumulated water caused by the torrential rain has completely subsided, leaving only a wet layer. I decided to go out and straighten the King Kong. I took out my laptop from the sealed bag and clicked on it. After recording this text in the Doomsday Log document, Shen Cong turned off the computer again, and then put it back.

He doesn't know how other people survive in the last days, he just survives and lives here in his own way.

It is his obsessive-compulsive hobby to record what he experiences every day, the progress of each research, and the events that happen every time.

Now the King Kong has fallen to the ground and needs to be straightened so that the tires touch the ground.

Before going out, of course, you have to take safety precautions.

The unknown monster underground that can bite steel bars, the suspected prehistoric giant crocodile that plays with the King Kong as a toy, the storm that comes at any time, and the water several meters deep all indicate the post-apocalyptic world. The food chain has been reversed. No longer a creature standing at the top of the food chain.

It took half an hour to re-alloy the Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor that had degenerated into ordinary iron armor and inject it with activity.

It took another half an hour to alloy the 6.4 pistol and a metal hand crossbow with full activity.

Armed protection is considered complete.

Reactivity is a good thing. King Kong can quickly alloy any metal material. Non-metallic materials can also be alloyed, but the progress is relatively slow. The remaining 15% of the inactive parts before the heavy rain on the King Kong were all non-metallic components that were difficult to chew.

This high imitation 6.4 pistol is made of metal. The last time he built the Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor, Shen Cong easily controlled the King kong and gave it to the alloy.

With the activated pistol, Shen Cong still doesn't know how powerful it is, and he hasn't fired a single shot so far.

Shen Cong also had three high-pressure air guns, all of which were imitation submachine guns and rifles, but they were made of plastic shells. The alloys were troublesome, and their power might not be as powerful as pistols.

Putting on the active armor, holding an active pistol, binoculars on his chest, a dagger with fangs on his waist, and an active hand crossbow pinned to his back, Shen Cong, fully armed, pulled out the King Kong with a jack in his arms.

Shen Cong first carefully inspected the surrounding environment.

In fact, when it comes to patrolling, Shen Cong should have a high-tech equipment specially used as electronic eyes - DJI Phantom 8 generation drone.

He originally thought that DJI 8 could shine in the last days and become his own electronic eyes.

The fact is quite the opposite. In the current high radiation concentration environment, the effective signal receiving distance of DJI 8 is only less than 20 meters, which is about the same distance as his remote control toy car. Both GPS and BDS could not be received, and the satellite positioning system could not be turned on, so the drone was directly disabled.

The camera observation at a height of 20 meters is not as far as he can see with a telescope.

So after playing DJI 8 once before, Shen Cong put it away regrettably. When he studies the radio one day and completes the upgrade of the communication system, he will see if there is a chance to make the DJI 8 a real electronic eye.

Now, human inspection.

The world where the stagnant water recedes looks very unique.

The ground paved with yellow sand and gravel was washed away by the heavy rain like a flood, and most of the sand and gravel were taken away. So on the ground, there are dry waterways, and the embankments of the waterways are large stones that cannot be washed away. Some of these large stones, carefully identified, can also find traces of some building materials, obviously the ruins of high-rise buildings were rolled over.

Although the terrain has become fragmented and potholed, the reduction of yellow sand and gravel has also greatly reduced the threat from the ground.

Shen Cong didn't think that diggers, monsters that sneaked up from the yellow sand, could drill holes in the rocks.

Of course, the road has become difficult to walk.

King Kong is equipped with bulldozing knives, which can push away stones that encounter obstacles.

After confirming that there was no danger, Shen Cong got into the King Kong carriage again and pulled out three huge iron clips. These were hunting tools that he took the time to weld. He had been making hunting clips since he met the big-toothed rat that day. Due to the lack of steel materials and one lost in Carrefour supermarket, only four were made in total.

Hunting traps were thrown around King Kong, serving as the first line of defense.

Only then did Shen Cong lower his vigilance a little, and used the jack to raise the King Kong little by little.

This is a troublesome process.

Shen Cong only had one jack, so he had to raise the King Kong a little bit first, then moved a big stone from the side to cushion the bottom of the carriage, and then slowly moved the jack to lift it up on the stone. Every time it rises a little, you have to choose a bigger stone and toss it back and forth.

Kong has a lot of strength, but facing the thirty-ton King Kong, he still seems too weak.

During this period, I have to patrol around from time to time, use binoculars to detect the movement in the distance, and check for dangers, so it takes a lot of time. Work started at 3:30, and at 6:30, when the sun was setting, the King Kong was finally righted to a 45-degree angle, and the center of gravity began to shift.

At this time, Shen Cong suddenly pushed hard.

bang bang!

King Kong turned over, and 22 tires landed smoothly.

Looking at the King Kong at this time, it can be seen that the connection between the front of the car and the carriage has been distorted at a very large angle, and some of the load-bearing bars of the chassis have cracks. The outer steel plate armor is even more densely covered with scratches, abrasions, and teeth marks.

Originally, the steel plate armor was filled with steel thorns, but now the steel thorns were bent in pieces.

The headlights on the front of the car have all been shattered.

This was all the result of the monster that was suspected to be a prehistoric giant crocodile being destroyed in the water. This is only on the surface, the internal damage is even more serious, not to mention how many electronic components have been damaged by soaking in water, just the damage to the materials in the carriage is a major loss.

He kept important materials in sealed bags, but during the impact of King Kong, several delicate electronic devices were still scrapped.

Change the tire again and go in.

Shen Cong took a look at the sky, straightened the King Kong, and immediately began to change the tires. A tire near the rear of the carriage was bitten by a monster and exploded. The tires are special tires with a diameter of 1.5 meters. In order to install these tires, the chassis of the trailer is specially modified, and the distance between the wheel and axle is greatly increased.

At the beginning of building the King Kong, Shen Cong preferred the trailer, which was a two-section container.

One is that the cargo capacity is relatively large, and the other is that the tail of the gecko can be docked, and the latter container can be discarded if necessary. However, considering the power load problem, a separate container was finally selected.

Twenty minutes later, Shen Cong, who was covered in engine oil, successfully replaced the tire.

He hung the punctured tire on the chassis again. When he has time, he can slowly repair it with activity. He only has such a spare tire.

After retrieving the hunting clips, taking a last look at the red sun that was about to fall into the horizon, and the bright red sunset that was flying all over the sky, Shen Cong returned to the King Kong. He hadn't slept for two days and one night.

Rest well tonight.

Starting tomorrow, we will go all out to guide the activity and repair the King Kong.
