Chapter 5: The Explosive Wolf

Shen Cong thought that what had arrived was a burrowing insect, but it was not

Not far from the iron tower, several dilapidated buildings lie in ruins, reminiscing about the once prosperous county town that existed here

Which metal has the highest reactivity

The time had arrived in the evening, the sun began to set in the west, and the evening glow filled half the sky, sweeping away the previous gloom. Shen Cong climbed to the top of the Jingang vehicle, feeling the wind and enjoying a moment of beauty

Even the satellite signals in the sky, Shen Cong also tried to search with radio, but it remained blank

The skylight at the rear of the container opened, and Shen Cong continued to use the whistle to lure the monsters. When a tooth wolf charged over to bite at the skylight, Shen Cong directly aimed the hand crossbow at the mouth of the tooth wolf

Therefore, Shen Cong added a note in the records of the tooth wolf: the meat is edible and contains a slight amount of vitality

Four wolves were shot dead in succession, leaving three remaining. They finally sensed the threat of death and no longer approached the skylight. However, the wolves clearly did not understand the principle of range.

Perhaps there will be other survivors like Shen Cong

Precise injection into the left eye, directly into the brain

The ruins of the county town, obstructed by crumbling walls and broken structures, are expanding in scale. There is even a building that has collapsed on one side but still stands on the other. The ground is not covered with thick rubble and yellow sand; occasionally, the concrete road surface can be seen.

The fangs of the werewolf are quite exaggerated, measuring the length from the wrist to the elbow, one on each side. They are a dark silver color with a glossy finish, resembling a metallic bone, similar to the pincers of a burrowing worm, but much sturdier. Shen Cong attempted to use an alloy knife, but could only leave a slight mark on the fangs.

The last fiery clouds at the horizon extinguished, and the sky turned completely dark. Shen Cong had returned to the Jingang, squatting on the ground to polish the fangs of the tooth wolf.

Another arrow was shot out, and yet another wolf was struck in the eye, dying instantly

Shen Cong seemed to want to find the connection among them, but he had little clue. Unable to think it through, he continued to polish the tusks. Shen Cong was very fond of these tusks and planned to turn them into a dagger to carry with him.

I had some wolf meat and then guided the King Kong to exercise for a while.

The speed displayed on the radar chart is clearly faster than that of the Diamond, and evasion is impossible

The crossbow at close range is extremely powerful, capable of delivering a direct headshot

It seems that the disaster brought by the meteor shower not only granted Shen Cong extraordinary abilities, but also bestowed similar gifts upon these animals

The armored vehicle raced through the yellow sands, yet the driver, Shen Cong, increasingly felt a heat rising throughout his body

Without the Jinganghao, how do they struggle to survive in this world

to rub against

Several buttons were pressed, and on the side of the chassis of the "Titan" vehicle, eight retractable support legs extended, clanking as they inserted into the yellow sand and gravel, firmly stabilizing the vehicle. With these eight support legs, it would be very difficult for any creature resembling a burrowing worm to shake the "Titan" vehicle again.

No signals can be detected anymore

Is this caused by the flesh of a burrowing worm

As for the other tusk, Shen Cong directly kept it for future use, as he still had six wolf teeth and twelve tusks outside.

Like metal

Isn't six years of preparation all for this day

Miso!

Survival is also a form of living

The reason I know this is the ruins of a county town is that a collapsed iron tower has appeared ahead. This was a landmark building constructed by the county government two years ago, known as the first tower in Anhui. Now, the first tower in Anhui lies quietly on the ground, its broken body silently narrating the occurrence of the disaster

Garo, a mutated canid, possesses low intelligence, rapid movements, relatively weak combat abilities, and a fierce temperament

It seems that whether it is the Garo or the Digger Worm, this part of the bone structure has been actively reinforced, making it much harder than other parts of the body

Unfortunately, the radar cannot detect movements from underground, significantly compromising safety

After playing for a while, noticing that it was getting late, Shen Cong lay on the small bed, holding his laptop, preparing to play some games before going to sleep

... ...

Especially that tooth, more exaggerated than the saber-toothed tiger's teeth, gleaming with a dark silver luster akin to that of a digging worm

A single wolf did not even have time to struggle before it fell to the ground and lay still. The death of this wolf did not attract the attention of the other wolves; it seemed that after the mutation, they were completely dominated by their primal instincts and had forgotten their intelligence.

After a few seconds, a living creature approached

However, there were no obstacles, and we smoothly arrived at the ruins of Wuwei County.

The last wolf was also shot dead

Yet, no matter how fierce they were, in Shen Cong's eyes, they were merely piles of meat products. Having tasted the sweetness of the digging worm meat, Shen Cong naturally became interested in the meat of the tooth wolf.

As silent as the starry sky of the universe

There are harsh natural conditions, fierce mutated monsters, and the ruins of a once-civilized society

Then I won't hide anymore. Shen Cong, relying on the Golden King, is not too worried; what could possibly harm him? He is even looking forward to encountering a few more digging worms.

Otherwise, so many days have passed, it is impossible that the radio station on the Jingang ship has not been able to search for a single meaningful signal

Shen Cong's hand crossbow is no less accurate than that of a professional archer, especially at close range, achieving a perfect hit every time. A wolf's eye was struck by an arrow, and its brain matter oozed out from the eye, resulting in instant death

Miso!

The last wolf, despite lacking intelligence, knew it had to retreat. However, it seemed unwilling to accept this, taking two steps back before turning around to roar at Shen Cong twice.

Quickly carrying a wolf corpse, Shen Cong hurried back to the car, as it was the place where he felt the safest. Just like analyzing a digging worm, Shen Cong began to study the wolf again.

In ancient times, tribal chiefs adorned themselves with the teeth and bones of their prey to showcase their strength; now, Shen Cong has begun to do the same.

It is evident that the sandworm cannot burrow into this place

As the sun set below the horizon, Shen Cong suddenly realized that he was truly in a post-apocalyptic world after the disaster

Similarly, Shen Cong cut another piece of wolf meat, adding more oil to fry it. After taking a bite, he indeed felt a surge of heat throughout his body within a few minutes, and the vitality within him experienced a slight increase, with a momentum greater than that contained in the flesh of the digging worm

This arrow missed its mark and struck the neck of the wolf. The wolf struggled for quite some time before it breathed its last

It is evident, yes

to rub against

This was a significant discovery for Shen Cong, as the burrowing worm's flesh could actually enhance his vitality, truly a treasure. Therefore, during the subsequent journey, Shen Cong eagerly hoped for more careless burrowing worms to attack him.

The conclusion was finally reached

Miso!

Shen Cong could feel that his strength seemed to have increased slightly

Shen Cong, who has adapted to life in the era of electricity and technology, does not wish to live like a primitive person. He has prepared several mobile phones and laptops, but unfortunately, they cannot connect to the internet

This wave of heat arrives quickly and departs just as swiftly; within five minutes, the heat has dissipated

A person effortlessly killed seven seemingly fierce wolf-like creatures without sustaining any harm. The only task left was to collect the bodies; however, Shen Cong was afraid of the burrowing worms and did not dare to recklessly exit the vehicle. Instead, he chose to use a bulldozer to scoop up the seven wolf-like creatures and continued to drive through the ruins of the county town

It is not that the temperature has risen; there is a thermometer in the car that currently shows an internal temperature of 26 degrees Celsius. Rather, it is the natural heat generated within Shen Cong's body, starting from his stomach and spreading outward, seemingly reacting chemically with the vitality that the Jingang号 has imparted to him, amplifying this vitality and strengthening Shen Cong's body

Upon reflection, I would like to add one more point: the taste is slightly worse than dog meat, but better than that of earthworms.

The King Kong-class vessel slowed down and navigated through the ruins, while the battlefield detection radar on top continuously rotated, scanning the surroundings. This scanning indeed caused a few flickering bright spots to occasionally appear on the radar display.

Shen Cong speculated that it is not only a matter of non-action, not only Anhui, not only China, but perhaps the entire world has already been engulfed in the catastrophic storm brought by the meteor shower

There are living beings rapidly approaching the Diamond.

Shen Cong does not know

"Your teeth are so large, I shall call you 'Tooth Wolves.'" Shen Cong silently named the several mutated dogs roaring around the King Kong ship as he watched through the camera.

Another headshot.

The entire Earth has completely quieted down

Or it could be said that the mutated dog, larger in size than a Tibetan mastiff, emits a low growl, indicating that it has transformed from a docile dog into a fierce wolf

to rub against

Shen Cong paused on the street for a moment, ensuring that there was no danger before carefully getting out of the car. Ever since encountering the burrowing worm, he no longer trusted the yellow sand beneath his feet

The King Kong model is also made of metal

In his heart, he yearned to see survivors, to prove that humanity had not gone extinct, yet he also did not wish to meet any survivors; perhaps wandering alone in the apocalypse was the life he truly desired

The hunt begins

Using a file, grind a circle along the base of the tusk, then weld a circle of iron sheet to wrap around the broken part of the tusk. Soon, a tusk dagger will be completed

How many wolves are there

Upon turning back, what awaits it is the crossbow bolt
