The valley in the distance is just around the corner, and the first thing that catches the eye is the huge iron gate, probably twenty or thirty meters wide and more than ten meters high.
When I walked in, I discovered that the iron gate was not one piece but separate and could be controlled and opened independently. A journey of dozens of kilometers could be reached in an instant.
The switch that controls the switch of this huge iron door is on the left. It is a small building. Ma Tao can no longer move forward when he drives his chariot near the small building.
Wooden piles were driven up one after another near the small building, making it impossible for tanks to drive in.
After finding a seat out of the way, he parked the chariot, got out of the car, locked it with his fingerprint password, and entered the checkpoint building.
"Hey! Such a young warrior? And a chariot!"
The guard at the door looked surprised when he saw Ma Tao, who was in his early twenties, getting off the chariot.
"It's just good luck. Can I go there? I plan to go to the villages and towns in the north."
Ma Tao was also very happy to hear him talking to him. He was unfamiliar with the place and it was always good to be kind to others.
"I have no say in this. You have to listen to the captain."
The guard brother replied with a simple smile.
"Then where is your captain? Can you please lead me to find him? Thank you."
Ma Tao hugged the guard brother with a fist.
"Sorry, I can't help you. I need to stand guard, and our captain is inside. There are only five of us here. It's easy to find."
The guard brother was very polite to this young bounty hunter who had no temper at all. After all, a hunter with a chariot was definitely a stronger being than a melee hunter. It was really not easy to meet a man with no temper.
"Thanks"
Ma Tao thanked him. After all, he had work and it was not convenient to disturb him. Besides, he had already made it clear enough.
Pushing open the ajar wooden door, I met a person head-on.
"Excuse me, grandpa starts telling stories again."
The person who came said such nonsensical words, without looking at who it was, he pushed Ma Tao's shoulder and ran out. The good guy was so scared that Ma Tao thought he was going to rob him. He almost pulled out his gun, but his hand was already released. When the gun was on the handle, the man was so busy running away that he couldn't even see his face clearly.
"Watch it better next time!"
Ma Tao had no choice but to curse dissatisfiedly at the figure who ran out.
"New here to report? Come here!"
The room was not big, mostly occupied by various motors. There were only two people in the room sitting in front of an iron table playing chess. One of them, a man with a bald head, looked at Ma Tao who came in through the door and said as usual. With.
"I don't want to report. I want to leave here. Please turn on the switch."
Ma Tao smiled at the two of them and answered them without arrogance.
"Young man, do you know what is outside this iron gate? When you know the reason why we built and guarded this iron gate, I believe you will soon change your mind."
The sound of vicissitudes of life came, and an old man with gray hair slowly walked out of a room, leaning on a wooden stick. He should be about the same age as the village chief.
After the old man looked at the young Ma Tao and finished speaking, the two men who were originally playing chess stopped playing and looked at the old man respectfully.
"Old man, thank you for your kindness. I would like to hear the details. Can you tell me a story about the past?"
Ma Tao saluted the old man, and nothing else. He should be respected even at his age.
"Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer young people like you who still know etiquette. Many little guys who have just become hunters are arrogant and never come back after they go out."
The old man looked Ma Tao up and down. The bald man on the side quickly brought a chair to the old man and asked him to sit down. The old man continued:
"In the past, a group of monsters often appeared in this area, attacking humans and robbing supplies. So, we built this pass here. It was about to be completed. The monsters seemed to have discovered it and launched a fierce attack. We installed cables. , connected to high-voltage electricity, repelled the monster's attack. Many warriors fell in that battle, and the few surviving warriors became rich men. There are also some people who still stick to their ideals and original vows, alas... …”
The old man said, sighed, and before Ma Tao could answer, he stood up and turned around and returned to the house.
"Grandpa is getting old and has some mental problems. He says these things to everyone, so don't let him go outside."
Another young man nodded at Ma Tao, and after explaining, he continued, "According to a passing hunter business trip, there is a village called Bobu going east. It is said that it is not small, and there are many desperadoes. However, I have heard that Grandpa, do you still plan to go there?"
"Boy, listen to my brother, go back, don't go and die, isn't it good to live?"
The bald brother chuckled, walked to Ma Tao, patted Ma Tao's shoulder, shook his head and said
"Over the years, there have been many young men stronger than you, but none of them have come back! If you really want to go there, brother, I will let you go. If you come back, it will be difficult..."
"They also killed the water monster and went out?"
Ma Tao was shocked, could there be more than four water monsters?
"What did you say! Did you kill the water monster? The water monster in the battlefield cave?"
The bald man and the other man looked shocked, but after the shock, they looked like disbelief.
"If there are only four water monsters, then I think I have really taken care of them."
Ma Tao looked into their eyes and nodded, without any change at all, and said very normally.
"Stop joking! Do you know how many people the water monster killed who wanted to kill it?"
The bald man waved his hand, indicating that it was time to leave. It was obvious that Ma Tao was telling lies to save himself face.
"What he said is true..."
Before Ma Tao could refute, another voice said. Everyone looked at it, but it was the guard that Ma Tao had seen before who walked in.
"I saw that you didn't come to replace me for a long time, so you came back on your own. What this brother said must be true. I saw his tank. There were all traces of claws and flames. The armor was almost gone. , except for water monsters, I really can’t think of anything that can damage the armor of a tank. If one or even a few people want to kill the water monster, it is indeed very difficult with the water monster’s flexible skills and sharp claws. But tanks are different. With the strong armor of the tank, you can attack with all your strength."
"You guys still have a chariot!"
The bald man looked at Ma Tao with shock after hearing his companion's words. If he hadn't been with his companion for several years and absolutely understood and believed in his character, otherwise, he would never have believed that Ma Tao, who was in his twenties, could be so easily Breaking news like killing a water monster.
Ma Tao nodded as a reply.
The way he looked at the two people looking at him could definitely be described as looking at a monster.
"Have you found the chariot hidden deep in the southern mountains?"
The bald man's reaction was not slow. After thinking for a while, he didn't remember that there was such a number one figure as Ma Tao in recent years. His mind turned around and he thought of that legend for a moment.
"Well... what you said and guessed are all right, but I just want to know when I can come out of seclusion."
Ma Tao looked at the faces of the three of them. They were all looking at him with big eyes and small eyes. Ma Tao, who looked innocent, asked.
"Horse...right away"
As the bald man spoke, he turned around and went to a computer to operate for a while. "Okay, you can pass. The nearest gate of No. 1 Railroad has been opened and will close in five minutes."
"Thank you so much"
Ma Tao still has respect for these three loyal guardians who keep a place safe and protect the land and water. After all, being able to stay lonely here and guard the pass requires perseverance and strength that are far beyond what ordinary people can do. What they accepted, what they failed at, might just be an opportunity.
Returning to his chariot, Ma Tao paid tribute to the gatekeepers who waved goodbye to him in front of the tower. Ma Tao started the chariot and left the customs with dust all the way.
After this trip, I don't know when I will come back. Ma Tao's journey to the bounty has completely begun. No one can move his will, and no one can stop the tracks of his chariot.
Maybe fate loves to be against Ma Tao. After just a few dozen kilometers, the grass in front of him rolled. Grass root fragments and soil splashed. Two plant flowers about seven or eight meters high emerged from the soil.
The piranha is a mutated plant that can grow up to ten meters long. There are many sharp teeth hidden in the huge flowers. It often attacks passing pedestrians and vehicles. It can directly devour the carcasses of elephants and other animals, and relies on spitting out its own production. The seeds may attack by spitting poisonous gas.
After scanning the information given by the watch, the piranha attack has arrived.
The entire huge flower spread out in the middle, and two blue seeds the size of a school bag were spat out.
There were two bangs on the left front of the tank. Ma Tao swayed in the tank, but what happened next almost made him laugh out loud.
"Monster attacks, loses zero armor pieces"
Device C 01 performed a self-inspection on the tank and found no damage. In other words, it would be no big deal if such a big seed fell on the tank.
Ma Tao was afraid of it, so he immediately opened fire with his 07 machine gun. There was a sudden burst of gunfire, and the huge flowers of the piranha were hit with green water rising up, which was extremely disgusting.
Ma Tao's machine gun also stunned the piranha. Maybe this thing also felt pain, and it tried its best to twist its trunk and roots to avoid the attack. However, this thing itself grew in the ground, and relied on the prey that passed by in a surprise attack. The moving area of the carrion was so large that it took a long time for a prey to come to the door. Unexpectedly, it was still a piece of hard bone.
The giant piranha squirmed until the sound of the 07 machine gun stopped and the thing became quiet.
"Is this dead?" Ma Tao looked at the rhizome plant lying limply on the ground with a look of contempt on his face.
“I really can’t resist beating”
Driving a chariot close to it, Ma Tao planned to hit the huge flower with one shot and completely blow it up, then he would feel relieved. Unexpectedly, not long after he got close, two huge piranha flowers suddenly stood upright again. He spat out two more seeds as big as a school bag at the chariot and smashed them around the chariot again.
Ma Tao sneered at this attack, but then, the huge man-eating flower sprayed Ma Tao's chariot twice again, as if a very uncomfortable person was about to vomit.
What was sprayed these two times was no longer its seeds, but two streams of green gas.
"What kind of fun is this? Damn it! Poison gas!"
Ma Tao looked at the flashing red warning lights on the chariot and the warning signs on the display indicating the danger of harmful gases without on-board filtering and air-conditioning systems. He was startled and did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly pulled the chariot back out of the poisonous gas range, but Some of the poisonous gas still entered the interior of the tank through the tank's air circulation.
An unpleasant smell drifted into his nose, and Ma Tao realized that this thing must be dealt with quickly, and dragging it on would definitely be detrimental to him.
Thinking of this, Ma Tao no longer hesitated or saved his shells. He aimed his artillery at the piranha and blasted it out. The three-meter-long stamen of the piranha was directly blown to pieces.
The chariot turned at a right angle again, avoiding the poisonous gas attack spewed out by another piranha flower again. After firing back and blowing it to pieces, he watched the roots and leaves of the piranha flower soften at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then it withered, shrank, and turned into a dead tree. Ma Tao quickly jumped out of the chariot and started vomiting on the ground. His stomach was churning with vomiting, and he was dizzy and lamented the power of this poisonous gas.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and did not let too much harmful gas enter the tank. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether he could reach Bob alive.
After all, Ma Tao's chariot is not equipped with air conditioning and detoxification drugs. This is a reminder to Ma Tao that some things cannot be discarded just to save money. Even if they are useless, they must be prepared. Maybe one day they will be needed. Used it.
Back on the chariot, Ma Tao had already vomited and collapsed. He slumped on the driver's seat of the chariot with a pale face. He looked helplessly at the scene outside the screen. He didn't even have the strength to check on the body of the Piranha.
"01, can air conditioners filter harmful gases..."
Ma Tao fell on the seat and weakly called for the C device.
"The air conditioner cannot filter all harmful gases. It depends on the level of the monster and the type of harmful gases it spits. However, the air conditioner can effectively filter the inhalation of harmful gases. For particularly powerful monsters, the harmful gases they spit can even reach the molecular level. The more It is not easy to filter, so you need to rely on detoxification agents to neutralize the toxins. There are many types of harmful gases, such as hallucinogenic, paralyzing, neurological, slowing, etc."
"Oh my god! How many antidote potions do I need to buy?"
Ma Tao, who was about to cry without tears, could already imagine the scene in his mind where he was surrounded by various poisonous gases and frantically searched for which one could detoxify him.
It rained all night, and Ma Tao was resting weakly. His vomiting had just eased, when he heard several crisp gunshots, and then the beautiful female voice of 01 came to mind again.
"Monster attack, three pieces of armor were lost"
"You can't let anyone live like this! I just beat him and I'm beating him again!"
Ma Tao was frightened by the gunfire and slid directly from his seat to the ground. He cursed angrily, but had to get up and fight. After all, this attack could knock out the tank armor. It would be impossible if he let it go.
"The Rifle Bird is a flying mechanical creature that can fire .45 caliber bullets and moves very fast."
Looking at this mechanical bird that was as big as an owl and kept circling around him, Ma Tao directly rewarded it with a tug-of-war machine gun. However, this mechanical bird flew so fast that it didn't even hit a single shot. Ma Tao was very nervous. Unexpectedly, immediately afterwards, the C device adjusted the muzzle again, and Ma Tao used the machine gun to fire bursts again, but it was still the same. Ma Tao was so angry that he almost smashed the screen.
If the muzzle of the main gun wasn't high enough, Ma Tao would have wanted to use the cannon to hit the bird. However, this bird was particularly ignorant. Seeing that Ma Tao's attack could not hit it, he dived, and a burst of flames appeared from the muzzle of the rifle in front. , hit Ma Tao's tank again and knocked out two pieces of reactive armor.
"Go to NMD. If I can't afford to offend you, why not hide away?"
Using all his strength to sit up, Ma Tao started the chariot and held the steering wheel feebly without caring about the direction. He stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, intending to get rid of the annoying robot bird on his head.
Then, on the endless grassland, a green light armored tank was chased crazily by a robot bird not much bigger than a pigeon. In this way, Ma Tao endured the clanking sound of the rifle bird hitting the tank, helplessly, and hit again and again. He couldn't hit it, it wouldn't come down, and it kept consuming the armor of the tank, which made Ma Tao very worried.
With a livid face, he drove the chariot all the way, and finally drove the chariot into a forest to get away from this annoying thing.
After such a torment, Ma Tao's blood circulation accelerated. Maybe it was because the previous poisoning had passed, and his body began to improve little by little. He was no longer so limp and unable to stand up. He had a little strength in his body, and Ma Tao's belly felt better again. hungry.
After parking the chariot, Ma Tao went to the rest cabin at the back to get a bottle of water and two pieces of bread, and ate them without much fuss.
Five minutes later, it was considered a meal and he set off again. But after driving for a while, Ma Tao found that he was completely lost.
Coming out of the woods, there were mountains all around, and it was impossible to tell the north, south, east, and west. After driving for a while, I killed another piranha.
This time Ma Tao lost his memory and didn't give it a chance to spit poisonous gas, so he blasted it to pieces. He was frightened by this trick, and he definitely didn't want to experience the discomfort of vomiting again.
Looking at the few shells left, Ma Tao was very worried. If the shells were gone, a piranha would come and destroy them. Moreover, it was getting later and later. It seemed that today would be spent in tanks and chariots. pass.
There is no end to the road. It was almost sunset. Ma Tao walked along a particularly wide river and finally found a small village. The lights were like fireflies. Ma Tao pushed the accelerator to the bottom and moved forward at lightning speed. Looking forward to reaching the village early.
After driving in a tank for more than 300 kilometers for a day, my body was exhausted. My eyelids were constantly fighting, and I was looking forward to finding a safe place to stay and have a good rest. How could I do that when I saw the village at this moment? Not urgent.
The village was getting closer and closer, and Ma Tao could already see the scattered houses, but the further he walked, the more panicked he became, and the further he walked, the more annoyed he became.
Entering the village, Ma Tao immediately understood why. There was no one in the entire village from the outside to the inside. Not even the guards that every village must have were there. The strange thing was that the doors of the houses with lights were also tightly closed. Close and silent.
The chariot continued to move forward. More houses in the village were charred and burnt by fire. Collapsed walls, charred trees, dark ground, and silence without even a ghost. The whole The village is as weird as a mass grave, no! The mass graves can still make some noise, but here, there is not even a sound of insects, it is almost audible, only the roar of the tank engine is extremely clear.
"Is this a dead village?"
Ma Tao drove the chariot for a short circle around the area, and finally parked the chariot in the middle of the village. He opened the hatch and looked around. A slightly cool evening breeze blew by, giving Ma Tao goose bumps. However, the surrounding scenery The sight made him even more confused.
"Is there anyone here! Someone who can talk!!!!"
Ma Tao's roar came from the silent night sky. Firstly, it emboldened him. Secondly, Ma Tao really hoped that everyone was asleep and someone could answer him. Unfortunately, there was nothing, only the echo continued for a long time...
