The green chariot that entered Naduo Village instantly attracted the attention of many people.
The villagers who got up early looked at the slowly moving iron can and talked about it, passing it one to another. After a while, a lot of old people, children, women and strong men gathered around the chariot, pointing and guessing which one it was. A bounty warrior arrived in Naduo Village.
The tank moved forward with a rhythmic sound, rushing towards the only tank supply store in the village. The villagers who had seen the world smiled and said
"Look, I'm right, the first thing any hunter does when entering a stronghold or village is to replenish weapons, ammunition and armor."
The people around looked at the villager who spoke and nodded in admiration.
"Where is that? He didn't enter the chariot supply store, he just drove away, eh? Where is he going?"
Another villager stretched out his hand to prove his statement, but was also confused by the green chariot.
I saw the dusty green light tank turning around and heading to the other side of the chariot supply store. Everyone was curious and followed the chariot to see what was going on.
Finally, the tank stopped at the entrance of the village's mechanical repair shop and stopped motionless.
Some mechanical maintenance technicians in their fifties were a little surprised when they saw the huge thing parked in front of their shop.
"What's up?"
The middle-aged technician stood up, put down the electric rotary motor that he had been repairing, and looked at the buried tank and asked. He knew that the people in the tank could hear it.
Although Naduo Village has not been to the chariot for many years, the technician has always remembered everything related to the chariot.
"I'm back..."
The hatch on the top of the tank opened with a clang, and a gray-faced figure slipped out of the tank.
The warrior in the tank turned out to be the little V who had been shouting for a tank all day long, which shocked the surrounding villagers. Unexpectedly, he actually drove a tank back to the village, and people around him were talking about it.
Let’s talk about Ma Tao. To be honest, if Ma Tao calls a stranger dad, he really can’t open his mouth now. After all, he used to be an adult of nearly thirty years old. He is really not used to having a strange dad. , but having a chariot is Little V’s wish.
Ma Tao now brings the chariot to see Little V's father. Firstly, he wants to help Little V fulfill his wish. Secondly, he hopes that Little V's father can help check and see if there is anything that needs to be repaired on the chariot. After all, he does not know how to use mechanics. Regarding maintenance knowledge, I had never even touched a car in my previous life. How could I understand such a complicated tank? In the end, it was about supplying the tank.
"Why is it you! Why are you back?"
Ma Tao's sudden appearance surprised Xiao V's father. Although he said harsh words and kept a straight face, Ma Tao caught the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"I have fulfilled my promise and fulfilled my promise. Father, have I grown up now?"
It was difficult for his father, Ma Tao, to shout this sentence, and his voice was very low. For the sake of little V, Ma Tao even said it. However, others didn't really pay much attention to it. They all thought that the father and son were still sulking and fighting, so that's fine. Very appropriate.
"Don't think that having a chariot means you are powerful. Brat, I can still beat you. Believe it or not."
As Little V's father spoke, he actually raised the wrench in his hand as if to strike.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't come"
There is really nothing we can do about such a stubborn person, Ma Tao.
"Little V! You are really back. Where have you been in the past two days?"
It was my sister who heard the news and rushed over. She was shocked when she suddenly discovered that Ma Tao was sitting in a chariot.
"Oh my God! Seriously, you actually found a chariot!"
"Hmph! This brat not only found the chariot, but also drove it to my place to show off!"
Little V's father still frowned with a straight face and glared at Ma Tao angrily.
"How dare I? I came back this time just to take a good rest, tidy up the chariot, and then start a new adventure."
Ma Tao smiled slightly, showing his white teeth.
"Ah! You still want to go. Don't you have a chariot? Where else are you going?"
My sister was very puzzled and confused about Ma Tao's choice.
"You brat, the earth can't tolerate you anymore, right? Do you know how dangerous and scary it is out there?"
Little V's father's voice became louder and louder, and finally he even shouted, with tears glistening in the corners of his wrinkled eyes.
"I know, but this is my dream. I will take care of myself. For my dream, I have to become stronger."
Ma Tao knew that what he said was for his own good, and he also knew that this old man who was nearly fifty years old was worried about his son. But now, Ma Tao really doesn’t want to spend his life in mediocrity. Now that he is here, he must make a splash. Do it an earth-shattering event.
"When the armor plate is gone, the tank can still fight, but if it is attacked, the equipment and chassis of the tank will be damaged. In severe cases, it will be unable to move. It needs a non-damaged tank to tow it. Do you understand?"
Little V's father said something like this inexplicably. Ma Tao didn't react at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly.
"You agree? Do you agree with me becoming a bounty hunter?"
"Congratulations, why don't you thank dad yet?"
My sister looked at Ma Tao with a smile, turned her head and pointed at her father with the corners of her eyes and chin.
My father didn't speak, snorted, ignored him, and turned back to the storage room in his oil-stained clothes.
"I'll use your repair tools and workshop!"
Ma Tao is also very happy to have fulfilled Xiao V's wish. It is quite interesting to have such a stubborn father.
"Wait, I'll make a good meal for you today."
My sister was even more happy when she saw Ma Tao jumping out of the tank. She touched Ma Tao's face and was about to leave.
"Sister! Wait a minute!"
The first time a woman touched his face, Ma Tao blushed a little, but when he saw his sister was about to leave, he quickly took out a pocket and said
"This is 100G. Sister, take it and throw away what you gave me before. Keep the rest to buy something good for your father and some clothes for yourself."
"So much? I can't use this much, can you just take it?"
After hearing what Ma Tao said, my sister opened the bag and saw that there were so many. She was shocked and wanted to return it to Ma Tao.
"Sister! Don't put it off, keep it. I'm getting older now, and I plan to replace it with something new. It takes up too much space."
Ma Tao blocked his sister's hand, smiled slyly, lifted his clothes, pointed to the other two big bags around his waist and said with a smile.
"All right"
After my sister read it, she stopped trying to shirk it, put her money bag away, said I'll leave first, and left the machine repair shop.
Ma Tao saw that his sister had left and his father had not come out. There were still some villagers watching the chariot and pointing around. He felt a sense of accomplishment and got on the chariot with his head held high and went straight to the chariot supply store.
"Little V, tell me what to add?"
Everyone in the supply store knew Little V from the past, and also knew that he owned a chariot. Now that so much time has passed, it has been spread among many villages, and it has basically spread throughout the village. The whole village knew about it, and many people came out from home specifically to see Ma Tao's chariot.
"Full weapons and ammunition"
Ma Tao waved his hand and said proudly
"Okay, 60G of ammunition and 20G of armor. These are the prices set above. You need to pay first."
The guy at the tank supply store said with a smile.
"So expensive?"
Ma Tao felt a little eccentric after hearing this. He took off his wallet from his waist, poured out a pile, and took out 80G. It was a big pile because they were all chip crystals of mobs.
I really didn’t expect artillery shells to be so expensive. It seems that you can’t use the main cannon to kill mobs. You can bankrupt yourself if you do this, but you don’t have a secondary cannon. Besides, there is no place in the village where you can buy tanks and equipment. Thinking of this, Ma Tao had another headache.
"You need to wait about twenty minutes,"
After paying the money, the clerk asked Ma Tao to park the chariot aside. After saying this, he went to take out several boxes of things.
Ma Tao looked on, not uneasy, but full of curiosity about everything in this world.
I saw the young clerk at the tank supply store opening the magazine and placing the shells one by one in order, and then opened several large boxes. Inside were pieces of green armor that resembled tiles. This should be him. Regarding the tank's reactive armor pieces, I saw that the clerk was a little unskilled in his movements at first. It must have been because it had been too long since tanks had come here to replenish supplies. But after installing dozens of them, his movements became very fast, and they were all screwed on piece by piece. on the outer shell of the green chariot.
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and just after one o'clock, the armor pieces were installed.
Ma Tao counted a total of more than 190 yuan installed. It is said that it is equipped according to the maximum horsepower of his chariot's engine. If it is too much, the engine will be overloaded, and the small horse pulling the big car will directly fall into the trap. .
After watching his fierce operation, it is actually very simple, just assemble and fix the armor pieces piece by piece, and you can solve it all by yourself with a screwdriver.
When everything was ready, Ma Tao started the chariot again and gave a roaring kick to the accelerator. He felt that the chariot was much heavier than before, and he needed to increase the accelerator to move. However, the chariot with micro-nuclear power was truly environmentally friendly and almost There is no emission pollution, but I just don’t know how to deal with the scrapped nuclear fuel, but this has nothing to do with Ma Tao. The C device said that this thing can be used continuously for at least fifty years. Compared with this, the parts of the tank Maybe it won't even take fifty years.
Driving the chariot back to his father's repair shop, Ma Tao was quite satisfied. Looking at the dust all over his body, he suddenly realized that the space inside his chariot was also covered with dust. After all, he would have to stay there for a long time in the future. He spent time in this chariot, so Ma Tao found a basin, filled some water, and started wiping inside the chariot.
If you don’t clean it up, you won’t know. There is a lot of knowledge in this tank, including the foldable co-pilot. However, tanks with intelligent positioning and aiming systems rarely use the co-pilot override artillery system, unless the C device is damaged. If the situation arises, if the C device of the tank can be destroyed, the people inside will basically be done with it.
After tidying up the single bed and table in the tank resting cabin, he bought a new bedding. He felt a lot warmer for a moment. Ma Tao also discovered that there was a locker under the bed, and there was a small small one inside. In order not to starve himself in the days of wandering, Ma Tao bought himself a lot of compressed biscuits, water and other supplies, almost filling the savings warehouse.
After everything was done, the entire several-square-meter tank warehouse was brand new. Even though some parts of the outside were rusty, the inside had not been exposed to wind and rain and was basically still relatively new. When he thought of rust, Ma Tao went to his father's repair shop. I took out the spray painting equipment, cleaned the rusty areas and sprayed paint again.
Finally, a big V letter was sprayed on the side of this green light tank with black paint. The reason why no particularly bright paint was used was because it was afraid of being too conspicuous at night or when concealment was needed and would lead to exposure.
Many times, keeping a low profile can save your life at the most critical moment.
Looking at the brand-new chariot in front of him, Ma Tao felt very excited and loved it so much. He was as happy as a child getting his beloved toy. In many years, he has never lived as freely and freely as he does now.
Every boy should have a tank dream when he was very young, but how many people have actually realized it, let alone Ma Tao? How does it feel for someone who has never even driven a car now that he has a tank of his own? Language can describe it.
As soon as Ma Tao finished, his sister brought lunch. I didn't expect that her sister would actually bring it to the two of them.
The family had lunch in the repair shop. Although no one said anything, there was a tacit understanding that Ma Tao was leaving. It was an ordinary meal. During the meal, his father looked at Ma Tao and wondered what he wanted to say. , but she didn’t say anything in the end, but her sister kept picking up vegetables for Ma Tao, filling Ma Tao’s bowl full, and he was eating happily.
After lunch, Ma Tao took a shower, shaved his long beard, and came to the chariot again, thinking about what else he needed. It was nothing in time. He was willing to look at his chariot even for a day. It won't be annoying at all.
"That's great! I didn't expect you to actually find it."
A voice came, and Ma Tao turned around to see that it was the middle-aged guard uncle who had been nagging and persuading him that day.
"It can be said that you have to give something in order to get something in return. I almost gave my life for it. The only flaw is that this car does not have a secondary gun. Alas... this is also a pity."
Ma Tao stared at the empty spot on the roof of the tank where the machine gun should have been, and sighed.
"What's the matter? It can be solved by buying it from a bigger place."
The middle-aged guard uncle smiled slightly.
"Remember what I told you before? After passing the northern pass, there is a hidden village to the east, but I have never been there. The monsters there are basically very powerful."
"Thanks"
Ma Tao looked at this kind-hearted uncle and smiled.
"Let's go and have a drink at Xiaolian's pub."
The two hit it off immediately, and everyone in the village can drink a few drinks more or less. After all, there is usually no entertainment, and the middle-aged guard is no exception. When it comes to drinking, he who is not on duty today has stars in his eyes, and he is definitely a drinker. Field veteran.
When we arrived at Lian Xiaolian's tavern, the furnishings were still the same, unchanged. Because it was noon, there were not many people there.
"Hi? Our great hero is back to show off his glory."
Lian Xiaolian was wearing a pink one-piece skirt today. She smiled charmingly and stood at the bar to greet the two of them.
"Sister Xiaolian, please don't make fun of me. It's just that I have better luck. How can I be a hero?"
Ma Tao waved his hand and looked embarrassed. He was not pretending. He really didn't dare to take the word hero seriously. After all, he was almost killed in an underground passage. How could he be called a hero?
"Haha, you are quite humble. This is not like you. Tell me what you want to drink today."
Lian Xiaolian looked at Ma Tao and the middle-aged uncle beside him with a smile and asked.
"What to drink?"
Ma Tao asked the uncle
"Anything is fine! Let's have a beer and have fun!"
The uncle laughed and answered.
"Okay, Sister Xiaolian, let's have five beers and some peanuts."
As Ma Tao spoke, he took out nearly 50G and placed it on the bar.
"What are you doing? You don't need so much! What? You plan to keep your sister?"
Lian Xiaolian took a few glasses of beer and handed them to the two of them. After seeing that Ma Tao actually took out so much money, she asked jokingly with a puzzled look on her face.
"Support Sister Xiaolian? How can this little money be enough?"
Ma Tao took a sip of beer, looked at Lian Xiaolian's figure up and down like those frequent drinkers before, and said with a mischievous expression.
"You've been out for a few days, and you've changed a lot, little V. I even dare to tease my sister."
Lian Xiaolian suddenly glared at him angrily, leaned over and grabbed the beer glass from his hand and said.
"You were the one who teased me first, okay, sister~sister~~"
In the end, the word "sister" was very long, and she looked at Lian Xiaolian without any timidity.
"Okay, if you win, tell me, why are you giving me so much money?"
Even Xiaolian wasn't really angry. She blinked her big beautiful eyes, returned the beer to Ma Tao, took another plate of peanuts and put it on the table and said, "This is free."
"Keep it, I will pay for my father and this uncle's drinks from now on."
Ma Tao continued drinking and said
"Then I really should thank you. It's a waste of money."
On the side, the uncle who had been watching the two of them as if they were flirting the whole time finally had a chance to speak.
"It's nothing. I also want to thank uncle for the sincere words you told me back then."
Ma Tao smiled and clinked glasses with the uncle. The two of them smiled at the same time and drank a glass of beer. The conversation between men usually started after drinking. Through understanding, this uncle was called Knocking Mountain. As for why It is called Knocking Mountain because when it was born as a child, there was a monster that looked like a tiger entrenched in the mountains in its hometown. This is how Knocking Mountain came to be.
The two of them drank a lot of wine. If five glasses were not enough, they had to drink five more. As for who drank more and less in the end, I don’t even remember who drank more. Anyway, they kept drinking and drinking for more than two hours. If Lian Xiaolian hadn’t stopped him, I don’t know how much to drink.
It’s been a long time since he drank so happily. Ma Tao, who was a little drunk, looked at his uncle and giggled. His tongue was already full of alcohol, and he said with a red face.
"I...will definitely be richer in the future, do you...believe it or not?"
"If you want to... have money, you have to make it. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to look at that."
The uncle who was also a little drunk pointed at the bulletin wall of the bar behind Ma Tao, and then said
"If you don't kill it, how...how can you become...a bounty hunter...person?"
After saying that, the uncle drooled. He lay down on the table and planned to go to sleep.
Ma Tao was about to vomit. He looked in the direction he pointed in a daze, and a familiar picture attracted Ma Tao's attention.
