Ma Tao and Su Lanxi followed the middle-aged woman who left after eating vegetarian noodle soup all the way south, crossing Central Street and arriving at another residential area in the south.
After walking through two small intersections, a Seoul primary school appeared in front of me. It was not large, with only two bungalows built with cement tiles and a small playground, where several children were playing and running.
After watching the middle-aged woman enter a bungalow in the elementary school, Ma Tao and Su Lanxi also followed. There was a classroom inside. There were more than thirty desks in the room, but only about twenty students were studying. A male teacher in a blue shirt was standing in front of an electronic teaching screen giving a lecture. On the screen was a picture of urban ruins. The children below were pretty good. Most of them were listening carefully. No one noticed Ma Tao and the others. Ma Tao and Su Lanxi did not disturb the children who were listening to the class, but leaned against the door and listened quietly.
"Some people say that we humans were destroyed by the civilization we created. Is this really the case?"
The male teacher in a blue shirt reached out and swiped his hand over the next picture on the teaching screen. It was a picture of a scientifically automated city, which looked beautiful and prosperous.
"I tell you, no! It is not technology or civilization that destroys mankind. It is none of these. Some people may ask, what is that? I can tell you that the cause of mankind's current state is ultimately the blind production and control of desire. Repeated consumption, isn’t this our own stupidity as humans, so human desires are the most terrifying, like an abyss. If you don’t know how to control your desires, you will fall into the abyss..."
Bang bang bang, Ma Tao happened to hear this wonderful speech and couldn't help but applaud.
"What's the matter with you two?" The blue-shirted teacher then saw two more adults in the room.
"Oh, excuse me, we want to meet your principal." Ma Tao smiled, looked at the students around him, and was very impressed by their age.
"Principal? We don't have a principal here, only Teacher Liu, me and Lao Li are in charge." The blue-shirted teacher looked at Ma Tao and Ma Tao in confusion.
"Sorry for being so abrupt. I don't understand the situation... I'm here to see Teacher Liu..."
Ma Tao was said to be embarrassed. Even Su Lanxi couldn't bear to look at him, and he went to find someone without even figuring out the situation.
At this time, Teacher Liu, the middle-aged woman who had gone in before, walked out of the small door on the side and was stunned when she saw Ma Tao.
"Looking for me? Have we... met somewhere?" Teacher Liu frowned and was a little confused. He looked familiar to Ma Tao, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"We have indeed met...but...how do you put this..." As the words came to his lips, Ma Tao was really embarrassed to tell her that he had followed you all the way.
"Forget it, let me tell you." Seeing that Ma Tao had been mumbling for a long time, Su Lanxi directly interrupted and took over, "The thing is like this, we met you at the restaurant across the road, but we didn't say hello to you. I heard about the situation in your school at Xiaojuan's restaurant, so I decided to come and have a look. This is what happened."
"Are you saying you plan to help us?" Teacher Liu understood immediately upon hearing this that he had met a noble person.
"Boy, please sit down quickly." The teacher in blue shirt also understood and quickly found two stools for them.
"To be honest, our school is almost unsustainable. If we can't afford books, the children will have no way to study. The teachers' wages have been suspended for several months. If it weren't for seeing these children without books, Reading is really pitiful, alas, this school has been closed a long time ago..." Teacher Liu gave Ma Tao and Ma Tao a glass of water each, and said somewhat sadly
"I'm not afraid of you two making fun of you. Our classes have been shortened even more, and our uniforms are almost like collecting rags..." The male teacher in a blue shirt said with some embarrassment and lowered his head with a smile. , getting closer, Ma Tao saw the crooked and colorful buttons on the blue shirt himself and knew that what he said was true.
"Children! What about you? Do you like reading?" Su Lanxi looked at the twenty or so children in the room and showed a beautiful, generous and gentle smile.
To say that the quality of the children in this school is really good, Ma Tao and Su Lanxi were talking to two teachers in this classroom, but all the children were looking at Ma Tao and the two, and no child was making any noise and was quiet. very.
"I like to study." An eight or nine-year-old boy with a watermelon hair was the first to raise his hand and speak. Then, the children in the room chattered to Su Lanxi like a pot boiling.
"Auntie! I also like to study. Don't worry, the number of students here will increase in the future. It would be great if there were a few more boys!!" A little girl with a ponytail sitting in the front row said shyly
"I also like to study, but I get sleepy when I don't use my mind. What should I do?" A fat boy with a runny nose near the window sill was a bit honest. After he said it, he laughed first, and the other children around him also followed suit. more than.
"Okay, okay, you are all good children. Auntie is really happy to meet you." Su Lanxi was surrounded by the children like a big sister, and she was very happy herself.
"Auntie, you are so beautiful"
"Auntie, your clothes are so beautiful."
It was obvious that the children around him liked Su Lanxi very much and were chattering non-stop. This heartwarming scene was noticed by Ma Tao.
"I know it's rude to ask you for such a thing suddenly, but..." Teacher Liu looked at Su Lanxi who was with the children, turned around and said to Ma Tao, and was about to bow. The teacher in blue shirt beside him He also bowed.
"Oh! Don't do this!" Ma Tao quickly stopped them.
"Teacher Liu, since we are here we intend to help you, but our ability is limited now, maybe not much..." Ma Tao looked at Su Lanxi among the children.
"Yes, Teacher Liu, my boyfriend and I have just become bounty hunters. We may not be able to help you completely solve the fundamental problem." Su Lanxi also understood that they had to make plans for their long-distance travel in the future. It is impossible for Tao to teach everyone everything he has.
"It doesn't matter, you two. No matter what, I still thank you on behalf of the children here." Teacher Liu glanced at the teacher in the blue shirt next to him. Both of them were still very grateful.
"Don't the managers of Seoul think about the children here and the future of Seoul? Are the rulers here eating shit every day?" Su Lanxi suddenly thought of Xiao Jinzi's father, the former standing committee member of Bobu Town, Seoul .
"Don't say that. It is said that the entire Seoul high-level officials are currently studying a high-tech photon shield. Most of the funds have been invested there, and the remaining few are used to maintain the troops and daily expenses. , Units like ours that are dispensable and won’t cause big problems in a short period of time are no longer interested." Teacher Liu looked around at the children in the room and said with some helplessness.
"Photon shield? What is this?" Ma Tao thought for a while, but he had never heard of it.
"Tao, forget it, don't think about it. These children are so pitiful. Let's help if we can." Su Lanxi's love was completely aroused by the children, and her beautiful big eyes looked at Ma Tao with watery eyes.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Is there a card machine here?" Ma Tao took out his identification card directly.
"Ah! Yes! Yes, thank you both very much for your kindness..." The teacher in blue shirt on the side said so and turned around and took out a card machine and handed it to Ma Tao. He even bowed and Ma Tao did not hesitate. I directly entered the amount of 300G into the card and paid it. Teacher Liu and Teacher Lanshi were shocked when they saw so much money. They thought Ma Tao and Ma Tao had just said that they could donate up to a dozen yuan. It's more than 20 G. I never imagined it would be so much. 300 G is enough for this elementary school to buy books and supplies and run it for a long time.
"Ah! You two have donated so much! Me! God, thank you, we don't know your names yet. Don't worry, we will work hard to run the school well!" Teacher Liu was so excited that he even shed tears when he spoke. coming.
"Teacher Liu, you're so polite. No matter what the name is, if there is need in the future, we will come again." Ma Tao took off the ID card and returned the card machine to the teacher in blue shirt.
"Children, thank you two benefactors quickly..." Teacher Liu, who was filled with tears of gratitude, watched the two people quickly mobilize the children, and the voices of thanking uncles and aunts kept rising one after another.
When leaving Seoul Elementary School, Teacher Lan Shirt and Teacher Liu personally walked out of the school gate, which was a simple large iron gate. They wanted to keep Ma Tao and the others to have some food at school, but when they thought about it, Ma Tao and the others were She came after dinner, and besides, the school didn't have any good food to entertain people, so she canceled the plan. After coming out, Su Lanxi was in high spirits and happy all the way, as if the money was donated by her.
"It's been so long and I still haven't regained my composure." Ma Tao looked at Su Lanxi who giggled from time to time and teased her.
"Are you happy? Why are those children so funny? They are so cute..." Su Lanxi thought about what happened just now and fiddled with her hair.
"Then why don't you give birth to one too?" Ma Tao's eyes lit up and he asked
"Oh! Are you annoying? I'll ignore you." Su Lanxi blushed to her neck, frowned and looked back to hit Ma Tao.
The two of them were quarreling all the way back to Central Street. Ma Tao's eyes were immediately attracted to a building for no other reason than that. The building was square in shape and quite large in area. It was definitely half a football. The field is so big, more than ten meters high, and it is surrounded by heavy soldiers.
Since entering Seoul, Ma Tao has really not seen many patrolling garrison in the city. It can even be said that there is not a single one. But it is different here. The surroundings of this square building can be said to be three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Absolutely regular troop configuration, the same Seoul military uniform, a dagger on the waist, a rifle on the back, body armor on the body, and a black helmet on the head. The garrison responsible for checking people entering and exiting at the door alone has a platoon of troops, with about thirty people in charge. And the inspection is very strict, but the people coming in and out, both men and women, are all equipped with sharp swords, long guns and short cannons. They are either hunters with scanning watches, or businessmen and bodyguards escorting various supplies. Anyway, they are either warrior hunters or None of the rich caravans were ordinary people.
"Brother, where is that place?" Ma Tao stopped a passing male resident and asked with a smile.
"Isn't that written on it? Are you a bounty hunter?" Unexpectedly, the elder brother looked at Ma Tao weirdly and pointed at the instruction notice board beside the square building. After that, he turned sideways and walked away.
Ma Tao was stunned, and looked where the elder brother was pointing. Well, there was a notice board not far from the door of the square building. This was not a big mistake on his part.
"Are you stupid?" Su Lanxi turned to Ma Tao who looked embarrassed and said with a smile.
"The safety of the space-time tunnel has been improved. Please rest assured that no major accidents will happen again," Ma Tao read the content on the red notice.
"The teleportation device can transport you to distant places, but you must have global coordinates, east longitude, and north latitude." This is what the white notice says.
"So this is the teleportation device?" Su Lanxi also saw the content on this bulletin board.
"It's a pity that we don't have coordinates. We can't just input them." Ma Tao is not interested in this. Besides, his own chariot has been equipped with a fax device. It would be great to transmit it together with the person and the vehicle.
"Beauty, where are you going? We can go together." At this time, an inappropriate voice came. Ma Tao frowned. Su Lanxi didn't know when a hunter with a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, short hair, curly wool, and dark skin appeared beside him. , he looked just like the African refugees in Ma Tao's memory. At this moment, he was staring at Su Lanxi with his eyes open. That annoying sound was made by this guy. This guy also shocked Su Lanxi. He quickly hid next to Ma Tao.
"The pretty boy is so pretty." The dark-skinned wool curler looked at Ma Tao with a smile when he saw Su Lanxi hiding in Ma Tao's arms, not caring about Ma Tao's cold gaze.
"Kemore! Can you please curb your gangster-like character? I'm so hungry to get my own money!" A white girl with blond hair and blue eyes carrying a sniper rifle with a scope came out from behind the black-skinned wool curler. He reprimanded the nigger named Kemore in disgust. Next to the girl stood a guy wearing a black mask. He was nearly two meters tall, with Ma Tao's thick thigh arms wrapped around his arms, and his muscles stretched out a black vest. , with a heavy machine gun on his back, looked at everything in front of him with an indifferent expression and said nothing.
"What are you looking at? Such a beautiful girl has been wasted on you..." The guy named Kemer in front of him didn't care about the words of the white girl behind him, and still looked at Ma Tao provocatively.
"Your mouth really stinks..." Ma Tao understood that these three people should be a team of hunters. No matter the number of people, equipment or even combat capabilities, his side had no advantage. He stared at this annoying nigger and quietly touched his hand. Pointing the rifle behind him.
"Don't waste your efforts." The nigger named Kemoer in front of him had already noticed Ma Tao's little move, but he didn't care.
"I'm a silver bounty warrior who has killed level two monsters. It's easy to kill you for a hot chick like you. I allow you to take out the gun. Do you dare to fire?" Kemoll grinned and showed his big yellow teeth. He suddenly approached Su Lanxi's pretty face and kissed her. The latter was frightened and was about to scream...
boom! ! ! !
Ma Tao quickly took off the rifle from his back and shot Kemoer in the chest. Unexpectedly, Kemoer was stunned. He had been secretly paying attention to Ma Tao's movements and pointed the gun at him. They immediately rolled to the side, and the bullet hit the ground close to the guy's butt, kicking up a cloud of dust. Gunshots rang out, and the people around them screamed and ran away.
The white girl behind Kemoer and the muscular man with a tall tower had no idea that Ma Tao would dare to open fire here. They all looked at Ma Tao with wide eyes and disbelief.
"Fuck!! You're crazy! Do you know that if you use weapons in Seoul, you will be wanted and banned forever!!" The white girl stared at Ma Tao and cursed. The tall tower man next to her touched her and signaled to leave. Their nearest troops, that is, the troops near the teleportation device, have already raised their guns and run towards here.
"Sorry, I just came to Seoul and don't understand this..." The expressionless Ma Tao was really angry at this guy named Kemoer. He had sworn not to tolerate bullying anymore, and besides, this guy just said The woman who was bullying him spoke, then pulled out the cartridge case with a click and loaded another bullet.
"You've done a good job with the dog crawl... Where's your arrogance? My silver bounty warrior?" Ma Tao looked down at Kemor who rolled aside and just stood up with a gray face, and said with a sneer, bang! ! Another shot.
"Bastard!!" Kemor, who had just stood up, gritted his teeth when he heard the words. He looked up and saw Ma Tao pointing the gun at him again. He didn't want to die in the hands of Ma Tao, who didn't even understand the rules. That would be too tragic. He hurriedly Rolling to the other side again, he already held two sharp flying knives in his hands when he stood up.
"Kemor!!! Don't you have enough free time?! Let's go!!!" The man with muscles as tall as a tower roared angrily, and ignored him, dragging the white girl away.
"I will definitely kill you when you leave the city!!!" Kemer looked at the Seoul garrison guards who were getting closer and closer, then turned to look at Ma Tao who was holding a gun in his hand and was unloading bullets, staring at Ma Tao with a sinister look. He smiled, wiped his neck with the flying knife in his hand, looked at Su Lanxi with nostalgia beside Ma Tao, blew a kiss, turned around and chased the white girl and the strong muscular man with amazing speed. quick.
"Let's go too!!" Ma Tao also saw the Seoul garrison guards who were surrounding him. He put the rifle in his hand behind his back, stretched out his hand and dragged the frightened Su Lanxi back into the small residential area behind him. In the alley.
"Sorry, I will definitely come out with a veil next time..."
After running for a while to avoid the pursuit of the Seoul garrison guards, Su Lanxi suddenly collapsed on the ground, crying like a raindrop.
"Huh~~ This has nothing to do with you. It's just that you met such a bad person. The world is so big and there are no people. You don't have to take it to heart." Ma Tao was also out of breath while running. Comforting the frightened Su Lanxi, he was also scared just now. His hands were sweating at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Seoul's rules prohibiting fighting with weapons saved them. Otherwise, Su Lanxi would have been handed over to him in this disaster. If you give it away, you will either get blood splattered in five steps, which is definitely a disaster.
