"Xiao Jinzi, Grandpa Uli is looking for you." At the entrance of the courtyard, a woman who was older than Ma Tao and the others walked out. She was obviously startled when she saw Jin Bao and Ma Tao together with a chariot parked next to them.
"You guys? Xiao Jinzi, are you planning to leave?" The woman reacted in a moment and asked directly to Jinbao next to Ma Tao.
"Second sister, I have made up my mind and will go with them. To have such a good chariot, you must be a good hunter." Jinbao nodded and made up his mind. Su Lanxi on the side also gave him a "you understand" expression.
"You just met, are we friends? Do you know who they are? Just go with them." The person known as the second sister looked at Ma Tao and then at Su Lanxi, who was always wearing a mask.
"I..." Xiao Jinzi was speechless. He glanced at Ma Tao secretly. He really didn't know who the two people in front of him were. He just felt that the person who could own the chariot must be extraordinary. He was blind. The admiration is endless, and now the second sister asks, is this embarrassing...
"That... second sister, right? My name is Ma Tao, and I am a bronze-level bounty hunter. This is my girlfriend Su Lanxi. I was once like Xiao Jinzi, who resolutely wanted to come out and make a living in the world. I also I've been scared and confused, but in the end, I succeeded. I believe that becoming an excellent warrior is also Xiao Jinzi's dream, isn't it?" Ma Tao rubbed his nose, feeling that he was about to be taken for granted if he didn't speak. The air was ignored.
"Are you Ma Tao? The Ma Tao who killed the water monster when he was only 20 years old?"
The second sister didn't react at all, which was normal. After all, people might not pay attention to these things, but Xiao Jinzi heard it and shouted, as excited as if he had killed the water monster.
"Really? I don't know about water monsters and fire monsters. If that's the case, then you are really flocking to birds of a feather, but Xiao Jinzi's parents will not agree with his choice." The second sister shook her shoulders and answered indifferently.
"Then I'm afraid this sister will be disappointed. Xiao Jinzi's parents have already agreed with his choice. I'm afraid, if they knew that we were taking Xiao Jinzi away, they would be more relieved." Su Lanxi couldn't listen anymore and reached out to pick the pieces. Said the mask on the lower face.
"Wow!! Sister, you are so beautiful!!" Jinbao suddenly saw Su Lanxi's beautiful face and his eyes widened in surprise. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and wanted to get closer to take a look.
"In this case, I don't care about you anymore." The second sister didn't know whether she was angry at Su Lanxi's words or Su Lanxi's appearance. She glared at Xiao Jinzi and walked away.
"Hey!" Ma Tao reached out and patted Xiao Jinzi's shoulder, who was fascinated by Su Lanxi. "This is my girlfriend, and she will be your sister from now on. Can you please restrain yourself?"
Ma Tao frowned, Xiao Jinzi's eyes made Su Lanxi feel embarrassed, and he hurriedly put on the black mask again. Although this boy was young and had a quick temper, he also looked straight at beautiful women.
"Don't worry, Brother Tao, I've just never seen such a beautiful sister." Jinbao instantly regained his previous cheerful personality and looked at Su Lanxi directly.
"Then don't worry, follow me, I promise to find you something good in the future." Ma Tao chuckled.
"I'm not looking for a girlfriend. If I have time, I might as well study the machine more." Jinbao waved his hand and directly rejected Ma Tao's words. He turned to look at the room and said, "Wait for me. I'll go into the room and talk to Grandpa Uli." Farewell, Grandpa Uli has taken care of me for so long, but no one will listen to his stories now..."
"Yes, let's go with you."
Ma Tao agreed with Jinbao's approach and suggested that they go to say goodbye together. Jinbao looked at the two of them and nodded without saying anything.
The courtyard was quite large. Jinbao led the two of them through the large tile-roofed houses in the courtyard to the small courtyard at the back. The ground was completely covered with yellow sand, and a rather sturdy tent was set up in the middle.
"What is this?" Ma Tao was stunned and looked at Jin Bao, wondering what it meant to set up a tent in the yard.
"Grandpa Uli used to be a businessman. He traveled all over the country and visited many places. Now that he is older, he still can't change the habit of a businessman. He can't sleep unless he's in a tent." After explaining, Jinbao opened the tent curtain and got in. Ma Tao and Ma Tao He followed closely behind.
"Xiao Jinzi is back." There was a sleeping bag and a small wooden cabinet and table in the tent. A gray-haired but energetic old man was packing something in the cabinet and turned around when he heard the sound of the door curtain.
"Grandpa Uli, I'm already planning to leave here." Jinbao entered the tent and sat directly on the floor, looking at Grandpa Uli with some reluctance and said.
"I heard from your second sister that you are planning to travel together. Taking risks can exercise a person's will and strength, which is also a good thing. It is always good to go out and experience things while you are young, but you must pay attention to safety. Ah, don't go to particularly dangerous places." Grandpa Wuli looked at Ma Tao and Su Lanxi who was wearing a mask, smiled kindly, and said to Jinbao.
"Grandpa, if I leave, no one will be able to listen to your story. Will you be lonely?..." There were faint tears in the corners of Jinbao's eyes. It seems that the second sister did not tell Grandpa Uli that she was going to be rewarded. Regarding the hunter, he just lied and said that he was planning to travel. The purpose should also be to prevent Grandpa Uli from worrying about him.
"Child, grandpa, I'm fine. Have you forgotten that grandpa told you that I often did business alone when I was young? Grandpa has long been used to being alone." Grandpa Uli gently used his old and wrinkled hands to He said while brushing away the tears from the corners of Xiao Jinzi's eyes.
"Grandpa Uli, we will take good care of Xiao Jinzi." Ma Tao understood clearly and knew that this was the older generation's worry about the young people, and it was a kind of meticulous care.
"Grandpa believes that you are all outstanding young people, and I believe that your journey will be wonderful, but you must pay attention to the fact that this world is not as simple as you think, and there are many terrible things that you have not heard of. I’ve heard it before, and I believe it grandpa, you are still too far away. You must stay as far away from the Noah monster’s stronghold as possible.” Grandpa Uli looked at the rifle behind Ma Tao and seemed to have guessed the three of them. Although he was older, he saw things more shrewdly and thoroughly after experiencing so many things.
"Thank you, Grandpa Uli. We will definitely keep your words in mind." Ma Tao nodded. Good medicine is bitter to the mouth but good to the heart. Although Ma Tao is young and energetic, he still knows the difference between good words and bad words.
"Grandpa, are we leaving then? Take care of yourself." Jinbao stood up and bowed deeply to Grandpa Uli. Ma Tao and Su Lanxi also quickly stood up and said goodbye.
"Go, be safe." Grandpa Uli still looked at the three of them kindly and watched them leave the tent.
Three people were crowded into a chariot. Ma Tao was driving, Su Lanxi was sitting in the rest cabin at the back, and Jinbao, who had lost his soul since leaving Grandpa Uli's house, sat in the passenger seat without saying a word. , Ma Tao tried to communicate with him word by word, but he still didn't have much reaction. He was probably still worried that Grandpa Uli would have no one to accompany him in the future, so Ma Tao finally let him go. I have a very emotional personality, and it will get better over time.
"Ma Tao, are we leaving the city?" Su Lanxi asked suspiciously as he watched Ma Tao driving the chariot west towards the gate of Seoul.
"Let's go to the human equipment store first and buy some weapons and equipment, and then go to the abandoned factory over the sea-crossing bridge," Ma Tao answered without looking back.
"Go to the factory?" Jinbao understood clearly this time and sat upright. "Are you going to take the risk directly? Great!"
"Let me get you some equipment first. You don't even have a weapon. Are you going to die? I heard that you can't drive a chariot in an abandoned factory." Ma Tao glanced at Xiao Jinzi, who had returned to his place.
"Who says I don't have a weapon? I have this!" Xiao Jinzi rolled his eyes, reached out and took out a metal object from his pants pocket, Ma Tao glanced at it, okay, it's just a metal wrench
"The machinist's most powerful weapon is in my hand," Xiao Jinzi said with a smile while holding up the flower wrench.
"Do you need to go back and tell your parents?" Su Lanxi, who was sitting in the back, asked Jinbao.
"Let's forget it. They shouldn't let me go to the factory. I'm so worried." The smile on Xiao Jinzi's face dimmed. Although he said it, Ma Tao and Ma Tao could tell that this kid It was because he was afraid that his parents would be worried about him that he deliberately said this.
"Okay then, let's go directly to the weapons and equipment store." Ma Tao didn't point him out. He took a circle along the peripheral path, bypassed the central street and the bustling market, and parked the tank on the road near the human equipment store. , the three people got out of the car and went straight to the human weapons store.
"Welcome, what do you need?" The two clerks at the human equipment store enthusiastically handed over the weapon selection instrument.
"I want a set of leather armor, leather gloves, cloth shoes and leather hat." Ma Tao flipped through it, then looked at the poor Jin Bao. He really wondered whether this was a rich second generation.
"Don't look at me like that, my father won't let me wear bounty hunter equipment again," Xiao Jinzi said innocently, stretching out his hands.
"Okay, 320G in total," the clerk at the equipment store replied.
"Use my pocket money," Xiao Jinzi said, taking out his identification card and about to pay.
"Pull it down, how much pocket money do you have?" Ma Tao pushed Xiao Jinzi's identification card and said.
"1100G," Xiao Jinzi said.
"Come on...bring me two more ginseng pills." After hearing this, Ma Tao looked at the pure rich second generation in front of him angrily. He had no temper at all. He thought that he had fought desperately for dozens of G. This kid The pocket money alone is more than ten times the savings that I have worked hard for several months. How does this make sense! ! How can I calm my broken young heart by just taking a few ginseng pills?
"It doesn't matter. After adding two doses of antidote, there are more acid monsters in that place." Xiao Jinzi didn't care about the extra dozens of G and asked for 40G of antidote.
"Have you done a thorough research on that factory?" Ma Tao gave him a strange look.
"That was my childhood dream." Xiao Jinzi suddenly made a formal prayer gesture.
"What are the weapons used for? Are titanium alloy steel knives okay?" Ma Tao ignored him, looked at the introduction device again, picked the one with the highest price and said.
"I don't know how to use it." Xiao Jinzi rejected it outright.
"Then what's not useful? Just chop at it." Ma Tao said helplessly and then looked down and said, "Can a metal boomerang be used?"
"I think the rifle on your back is good. It's simple and convenient to operate, and quite practical." Jinbao suddenly stared at Ma Tao's spear and made up his mind.
"Oh! Here it is!" Ma Tao was happy when he heard this. He took off the rifle from his back and threw it to him along with the bullet bag. The boy took it, unloaded it with a click, and looked at the yellow color inside. The bullets in the bullet bag made a clattering sound as they weighed the bullets.
"Fewer bullets, here are 50 rounds." Xiao Jinzi bought another 50 rounds of bullets directly from the clerk.
"Bring me a titanium alloy steel knife and a pistol." Considering that going to the factory and the sound of gunfire would attract monsters, Ma Tao chose a steel knife to prepare for possible hand-to-hand combat. The clerk inside nodded and took one. The sword, which looked very similar to Su Lanyu's before, was handed to Ma Tao, and he also took a P1911 pistol and about 50 rounds of .40 bullets.
Ma Tao weighed the steel knife in his hand. It was heavy at the back and light at the front, making it easier to slash with flexibility. He looked at the blade again and determined that it was a good knife. After picking up the P1911 pistol and checking it, he found that it had been expanded to With an ammunition capacity of 12 rounds, I didn’t expect that even for short guns, Seoul’s pistols are much better than Naduo and McGee.
"A total of 600G," the clerk said, handing over the card machine.
Without hesitation, he must have good equipment for the expedition. Ma Tao swiped the card directly, and then looked at himself with less than 100G of savings left with a sad face. However, soon, Ma Tao began to look at the little girl nervously. gold.
"What are you doing? I only have the little pocket money left, and I won't go to the house to ask for money." Xiao Jinzi has a quick mind when it comes to technology. When Xiao Jinzi saw Ma Tao looking at him with evil intentions, he quickly stepped back. Bu said.
"Well, since we have joined a gang, everyone should share the tour fee, right?" Seeing that he was discovered, Ma Tao didn't blush and opened his mouth to ask for his contribution.
"Don't make trouble, it's not easy to make small gold. We don't know when we will come back. We only need enough weapons. We should hurry up and buy some supplies for long-term training outside." Su Lanxi really couldn't stand Ma Tao's behavior. He looked shameless and spoke out.
"All right"
Ma Tao gave up his plan to search for Jinbao G, turned around and prepared to load pistol bullets into 1911 seriously.
The three men returned to the chariot fully armed and began to sort out the supplies they planned to carry.
"Actually, if a tank could drive into an abandoned factory, I had planned to rent a tank and kill it." Xiao Jinzi's sudden words shocked Ma Tao.
"Can the chariot be rented?" Ma Tao, who had just started the chariot but hadn't gone very far, braked and stopped in place and turned around to ask Jinbao in disbelief.
"Why are you so surprised? Of course tanks can be rented. We have a company in Seoul that is responsible for renting tanks." Xiao Jinzi almost hit the co-pilot's screen. Su Lanxi in the back seat also staggered, but He didn't fall to the ground. Xiao Jinzi didn't understand Ma Tao's fuss at the moment. Isn't it just a rental of a chariot? Is that what it is?
"Chariot...how to rent it?" Ma Tao blinked and looked at Xiao Jinzi. Seeing the boy's calm face, he knew that what he said was probably true.
"Of course it is rented according to the number of days, 100G a day, but..." Xiao Jinzi thought for a while, and then said a little depressed, "The tanks rented in Seoul only have one kind of jeep, with no main gun, only secondary gun, and the engine is not good. Not to mention that they can't run, there are only eight cars in total, and the people queuing up to borrow cars are getting tired. Every time I go there, someone borrows them, and I haven't even used them."
"So that's it." Ma Tao was relieved, but immediately he thought of another question, "That little gold, if I borrow the chariot and don't pay it back, or I run out of money, how will the renter solve the problem?"
"No! No one would be that stupid." Xiao Jinzi laughed, not even considering the possibility of such a problem happening.
"What if it happens? I mean what if?" Ma Tao thought it would be better to find out clearly. There must be something restricting the owner from returning the tank.
"No, the tank's C device will be set with the highest authority. You can rent it for a few days, but if you don't borrow enough, you can still charge G on the tank. Once you default on repayment or the tank is stolen, If the monster is defeated and there are no more armor pieces, the tank will alarm and then become unable to move. The C device will remind you to leave the tank within two minutes. If you refuse to leave the tank, the tank will block you. In the car, tanks are all nuclear-powered now. If you don't get out of the car, the tank you rent will explode immediately. The power is quite terrifying, and there is no possibility of survival. The C device reminds you that if you leave the battle in the future, It will be fine once you get off the car or get off the car. The tank will automatically return to the rental unit according to the navigation. If you don't want to drive halfway, you can just leave the tank where it is and the tank will also navigate back by itself." Xiao Jinzi sat in the passenger seat The driver explained while sorting the rifle bullets.
"Oh! I see, where is the car rental location?" Ma Tao figured out the constraints here, started the chariot again, and planned to go there.
“Not far from my home”
"Um...can I interrupt? Um...we have no money." Su Lanxi, who was sitting in the back, quietly raised his hand and said
"…………"
"I was so happy that I forgot about this." Ma Tao looked at the two of them awkwardly.
"There is one more thing." Xiao Jinzi looked at Ma Tao and said tentatively.
"What else?" Ma Tao started his chariot and was about to leave Seoul.
"The place where you can rent tanks has a counter that sells special artillery shells..." Xiao Jinzi said
With a creak, Ma Tao braked hard again.
"What kind of game? Special artillery shells?" Ma Tao's mind suddenly returned to the scene where he spent 25G to bet on a stray bullet. If he could buy this thing, why would he bet on luck like a fool and lose the bet?
"Special artillery shells," Xiao Jinzi said with certainty, even raising the decibel level to avoid Ma Tao not hearing clearly.
"Is that thing expensive?" Ma Tao asked tentatively after thinking about the poor G number in his pocket.
"The cheapest ones are all about 25G each," Xiao Jinzi recalled.
"Let me ask you, do special artillery shells not occupy the main gun bay? How many can my tank carry?" Ma Tao looked into his eyes and asked again.
"The spare shell box of the Tiger light main battle tank should have 18 shells if it has not been modified." Xiao Jinzi didn't even think about this basic common sense, he just picked it up.
"18... 32 main guns, 50 in total. This one doesn't have SE..." Thinking of the SE he equipped in the future, the firepower output would be a mobile killer. Ma Tao stared at the dashboard of the tank. I really hope that day comes soon.
