"Beautiful flowers can make people feel calm. Don't step on the flowers, don't step on the flowers..."
The man in gray clothes turned around, said this to Ma Tao with an expressionless face, then turned back and continued to face the wall.
"There's no danger, come here"
He seemed to be another stupid person, but after listening to what he said, Ma Tao lowered his head and looked at the crushed flower fragments that were trampled under this person's feet. He wanted to ask in a wicked way: Brother, tell others to be careful about the flowers. What's under your feet? What……
After checking his watch to assure Xiao Jinzi that he was safe, the two of them met. Xiao Jinzi looked at the man in gray clothes who was still thinking about the wall and said nothing.
After passing the corridor, turning left and walking inside, through the open door, Ma Tao thought that there should be at least something like a monitor here, but unfortunately there was still nothing. There were stairs inside, and the two of them went upstairs. .
The third floor is a relief platform, surrounded by red potted plants. There is a guardrail on this floor, but the guardrail on the left is partially broken. Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi entered the building through the door on the right, and there is still no danger. Come on, this is so abnormal.
In the room are several broken wooden tables for eating, a few stools scattered on the ground, and a few pots of flowers and plants in the middle. It seems that no one has watered them for a long time, and they are all a little withered. On the opposite side is another side. The open door made Ma Tao feel as if he had entered a maze.
Through this door, there are two choices inside. Directly opposite is another open door. There is a monitor on it that is working with a small red light flashing. On the right, there is another building. Upward stairs.
"What should I do?" Xiao Jinzi looked at Ma Tao.
"People go up, up!" Ma Tao resolutely chose the upward stairs.
The two went up to the fourth floor, but they still didn't encounter any danger, but this fourth floor was very strange. After going up the stairs, there was nothing above, just a corridor about ten meters long, but there was a light in the corridor. It looks like a warehouse, but who would build a warehouse on the fourth floor without an elevator? This is too abnormal.
"Nothing?" Xiao Jinzi was also very depressed. After giving up so much effort, he actually had nothing. It was so shocking.
Ma Tao didn't panic. He was not a person who gave up easily. Although he was a little frustrated at first, after thinking about it, he realized that everything here was weird and absolutely unusual, so Ma Tao began to carefully look at the surrounding walls and feet. of ground.
"What are you looking for? Did something fall?" Xiao Jinzi asked, noticing Ma Tao's abnormal behavior.
"No, I just think it's weird here."
Ma Tao didn't find any problem. After answering Xiao Jinzi's words, he planned to leave, but as soon as he turned around, an unusual sound made him frown.
Ma Tao's right hand was always holding the steel knife, so the scabbard of the steel knife was always hanging on his waist. When Ma Tao turned around, the scabbard happened to collide with the wall behind him. The sound was not loud, but Ma Tao After discovering the New World, he turned around and tapped another place with the scabbard, but basically no sound was made.
"Empty?" Xiao Jinzi also came to this wall, and naturally saw Ma Tao's movements and heard the difference in the scabbard.
"check"
Ma Tao put the steel knife back into its sheath, and the two of them began to observe against the wall. Sure enough, the gaps in the wall showed signs of being moved frequently. It was obvious that this wall could be opened frequently.
After examining it carefully for a while, Xiao Jinzi discovered that a piece of wall had fallen off, revealing a hole in the wall. He reached out and pulled it, and the entire wall opened diagonally. It turned out to be a secret door.
There was a closed door inside. The two could vaguely hear the voices of people inside. Ma Tao turned the door handle, but the door could not be opened.
"Is there anyone inside?" Ma Tao shouted into the door, and the voices inside stopped abruptly.
"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Jinzi pursed his lips and looked at the door nervously.
"It's not the first time I've killed a monster, I'm still nervous."
Ma Tao glanced at him and raised his knife to chop down the door.
"Wait!" Xiao Jinzi stopped Ma Tao's movement, and Ma Tao looked at him.
"Let me do it..." As he spoke, Xiao Jinzi took a deep breath, put the rifle on his back, took Su Lanxi's musket from his back, and fired a shot at the door lock.
After the gunfire, even the door lock and door handle were blasted in. Ma Tao kicked the door open and rushed in, followed closely by Xiao Jinzi.
"Flowers, so beautiful, flowers, so beautiful..."
The decoration of the house must have been very luxurious before. The once high-end carpets and solid wood desks were of course faded now. There were bookcases filled with many books, old leather chairs, and a girl in her twenties wearing a somewhat shabby little dress. The man in a suit stood beside the solid wood desk, his eyes unblinking as he repeated the words in his mouth expressionlessly.
"It's all in vain, another fool!"
Xiao Jinzi looked at the girl with a pretty face, put down the gun, and then sat down on the old leather sofa nearby.
"Hua'er, so beautiful, Hua'er, so beautiful..." the girl was still repeating.
"Xiao Jinzi!" Ma Tao did not relax suddenly like him, and began to look at the girl carefully.
"What are you doing?" Jinbao raised his head and glanced at Ma Tao, telling him that he had been staring at the girl and suddenly smiled.
"What? Are you attracted to this stupid girl again?"
"What's your name?" Ma Tao ignored him and stared at the girl in front of him and asked.
"Are you stupid? My name is Jinbao?"
Xiao Jinzi reached out and was fiddling with the objects on the table, and was stunned when he heard this.
"Although you pretend to be very similar and your eyes are so dull, do you know? You are sweating."
Ma Tao gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
"This shows that you are very nervous now. Silly people will not be nervous..."
Ma Tao smiled and put the steel knife in his hand across the girl's neck and continued.
"What are you talking about!" Xiao Jinzi jumped up and quickly grabbed the rifle he had just put down and pointed it at the girl. "You said she was faking?"
"You still don't admit it? There's more sweat on your forehead." Ma Tao put the sharp steel knife in his hand close to the girl's neck, trying hard to look fierce and vicious, and the blade in his hand even cut a little of her white hair. skin.
"Say it quickly!" Xiao Jinzi shouted angrily while holding the rifle with trembling hands, "Who are you? Or I'll shoot you."
"I...I...I am an employee here...here." The girl finally stopped pretending to be stupid, blinked her eyes, and cried looking at the two men with fierce looks.
"Is it just you?" Ma Tao's steel knife still did not leave the girl's neck.
"just me………"
"to be honest!"
"And my father! Wuwuwu..."
The girl looked at the steel knife on her neck and the black muzzle of the gun opposite her. Just when she was about to say that it was her, Ma Tao suddenly roared fiercely. The frightened girl instantly closed her eyes and shouted, "This is where she is." After the other person said this, the girl was like a deflated rubber ball, and her whole body had lost all strength.
"Your father? Where is he?" Ma Tao glanced at her and found tears flashing in the girl's eyes.
"In...in the back room..." The girl looked at a bookcase behind Ma Tao and Ma Tao from the corner of her eyes.
Ma Tao motioned with his eyes to Xiao Jinzi to come over and take a look. The latter nodded, raised the rifle levelly, and cautiously approached the bookcase.
The bookcase is a push-pull hidden door. Xiao Jinzi checked it and pushed it hard with his hand. The bookcase moved to the side. Inside was a sealed sunroom. In the secret room of the sunroom sat a man who was a little drunk. A middle-aged man, surrounded by red and green potted plants.
Xiao Jinzi looked at the middle-aged man and saw that he had no weapon in his hand. He turned around and nodded to Ma Tao to indicate that there was no danger.
"I'm sorry," Ma Tao's heart finally dropped. He took the steel knife in his hand from the girl's neck, took two steps back and said.
"Who are you? Please don't hurt my father. He is just a poor, demented man." Although the girl was very afraid of Ma Tao and the two of them, facing her closest relatives, family affection allowed her to overcome her fear.
"Don't worry, we won't embarrass your father. However, whatever I ask next, you must answer me truthfully. If you lie to me, you know the consequences." Ma Tao said and looked at Xiao Jinzi, who also cooperated with the gun. The mouth was aimed at the inside of the secret room.
"Please don't hurt him! I said! Just ask!" The girl nodded hurriedly.
"Very good" Ma Tao was very satisfied with her performance.
"What's wrong with everyone outside?" Ma Tao looked at her with a smile.
"They are clones whose transformation failed, and Noah left them to fend for themselves," the girl replied, looking into Ma Tao's eyes.
"Clone? What do you mean?" Ma Tao said with a frown.
"Noah used to study humans here and genetically modify monsters and humans. Later, for some reason, Noah abandoned this place and removed most of the monsters," the girl replied.
"Last question, what kind of factory was this before? Why are you here?" Ma Tao asked, staring into the girl's eyes.
"This factory was founded by my father. It mainly produced electronic circuit boards. More than ten years ago, when I was still young, one day, the factory system was invaded by Noah, and then a bunch of monsters came out from nowhere. , controlled all the people here, captured all the workers, and then, Noah's men continued to produce and develop monsters here, and even transformed human clones, and created a hypnotic machine for this purpose Those who have failed in cloning and transformation here have all become dementia without memory," the girl said as she looked towards the entrance of the secret room, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes again.
"Then what?" Ma Tao had already put down the steel knife in his hand, but he still held the knife in his hand.
"Our family hid in a secret room like mice for several days to escape the monster search. But my father couldn't swallow this breath and vowed to take back the factory from Noah's hands. My mother firmly disagreed, so he secretly A place worked day and night to modify its own car. Unfortunately, when he went to look for materials, he was discovered by a hypnotic machine outside. When I found him, he became what he is today. Later, my mother I went out to look for food and was captured by monsters. I was left to take care of my father and live a difficult life. If Noah hadn't suddenly removed most of the mechanical monsters here in recent years, I'm afraid we wouldn't be alive today." Girl The more I talked, the more I felt aggrieved. It seemed that the sadness and helplessness of these years had found an outlet today. As I talked, I burst into tears.
"Have you never thought about leaving?" Xiao Jinzi felt very sad. She really couldn't imagine how such a girl could survive here with difficulty for so long.
"My father has become like this, and my mother is no longer here. Besides, there are scary robot monsters guarding down there. How can we get out..." The girl said, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with the cuffs of her somewhat old suit.
"Where is your father's modified tank?" Ma Tao asked, looking at the girl in front of him.
"I don't know. Only my father knows the specific location, but now..." The girl looked at the entrance of the secret room guarded by Xiao Jinzi and said.
"Come with me" Ma Tao thought for a moment and took the girl into the secret room behind the bookcase.
"Watch at the door." Ma Tao whispered in Xiao Jinzi's ear as he passed by the entrance of the secret room. Xiao Jinzi looked at the girl, then at Ma Tao and nodded. After Ma Tao saw that he understood what he meant, he followed. The girl entered the secret room.
In the secret room was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a large torn pajamas. He was sitting on a wooden chair, looking down at the flowers at his feet, and kept whispering something.
"Father" The girl lay on her father's lap, looking at the middle-aged man in front of her and wiping tears from the corners of her eyes again.
"Flowers, flowers, flowers, dead..." The middle-aged man did not look at the girl lying on his lap, but still looked down at the flowers at his feet, pouted, and said pitifully.
"Father, I am Yue'er." The girl wiped her eyes again.
"Yue'er? Who is Yue'er?... Yue'er is my good baby, my good baby..." When the middle-aged man heard the word Yue'er, he slowly looked at the girl lying on his legs and looked at her carefully. After looking at him and her for a while, there was suddenly more light in his eyes. He kept calling Yue'er's name in his mouth, and he hugged the girl in his arms and cried bitterly.
"Yue'er!! Yue'er, go quickly, go quickly, the monster is coming! You go quickly! Go, daddy will protect you!!!" Suddenly the middle-aged man struggled to push the girl on his legs away in panic, looking around. He kept looking at her, as if there were terrifying monsters all around him, trembling his hands, trying desperately to get the girl to go away.
Ma Tao looked a little sad, this is family love, this is father's love, even if he has no memory, he can't recognize who is in front of him, even if his body is disabled, he has become a burden to the whole world, but even so, his parents always remember to use his only Some people have the ability to protect their children, this is subconscious, this is the most sincere, this is human nature.
Ma Tao put the steel knife back into its scabbard, looked at Xiao Jinzi behind him, and stretched out his hand to indicate that he could put down the muzzle of the gun.
It was obvious that the middle-aged man's appearance was not an act, because Ma Tao had already seen traces of being tied up on his hands, as well as many bite marks from teeth, all of which were old wounds. Judging from the tooth marks, it should be the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man bit him himself, and his legs can no longer move. This is also common muscle necrosis caused by sitting there. This middle-aged man also knows the girl in front of him, which is enough to prove that their relationship is that of real parents.
"I'm sorry, I was just unreasonable." As Ma Tao spoke, he actually bowed and saluted the two people in front of him. Not only was the girl stunned by this scene, but also Xiao Jinzi behind him was stunned.
"You..." The girl didn't even know what to say when she saw that the man who looked fierce before suddenly became polite.
"Please forgive me for being rude just now," Ma Tao said and straightened up.
"I have to be careful when I go out. We are bounty hunters. The life of licking blood with a knife makes me not trust any strangers. In return and compensation, I decided to take you away."
As soon as Ma Tao finished speaking, the girl was so surprised that she looked at Ma Tao in disbelief.
"Are you telling the truth? Are you willing to take us away?" The girl automatically filtered out what Ma Tao had said, quickly stood up and stared at Ma Tao without blinking.
"That's right." Ma Tao nodded firmly and said with a smile, "But I have one more thing."
"You...there's one more thing?..." The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Jinzi, then at Ma Tao, then hurriedly took two steps back, covered her chest with her hands, looked at Ma Tao with big eyes, and exclaimed "You don't want...??"
"You're thinking wrong." Ma Tao covered his head, knowing what the girl was thinking, and thought to himself, does he not want to be a good person so much?
"Although I promised to take you out of here, we must first find the chariot your father modified, and then we will pick you up," Ma Tao said.
"Ah, tanks, tanks, tanks, I have tanks, jeeps... I have tanks, I will kill you monsters! Fight!..."
As soon as Ma Tao finished speaking, the middle-aged man sitting on the wooden chair suddenly shouted, followed by a burst of dancing, and kept shouting "Da da da~ tu tu da~"
Is there a door? Ma Tao's eyes lit up. Although this middle-aged man was a little demented, he still remembered his moon and his chariot. It seemed that no matter what time, the most persistent thing in a person would never be easily forgotten. .
"Da da da~ tu tu tu tu, ah! There are more and more monsters!" Thinking of this, Ma Tao imitated his movements and shouted along with him.
"Brother Tao? Are you okay?" Xiao Jinzi completely collapsed when he saw Ma Tao playing with a fool.
"Da da da, I have a chariot! Da da da! Fight! Get in the chariot! Get in!" The middle-aged man was immersed in his own world. Someone suddenly responded to him and shouted directly after him.
"Get on the chariot, get on the chariot!, Get on the chariot, get on the chariot!"
Ma Taolian stared closely into the middle-aged man's eyes and said twice to get on the chariot. Xiao Jinzi on the side was suddenly stunned and looked at Ma Tao. At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand Ma Tao's purpose of doing this. .
"Get on the chariot, get on the chariot! Where is the chariot??" Ma Tao stared at the middle-aged man's eyes and followed his movements, suddenly asking this question.
"Tu tu tu tu~ da da da~ The monster is coming! The monster is coming! The chariot is over there!!!" The middle-aged man was very excited. At the end of his sentence, he turned his head and pointed suddenly to the outside of the secret room of the sun room. Not moving anymore.
It was so quiet in the room that you could hear a needle drop. Everyone was as if they had been cast into a body-fixing technique, with expressions of disbelief and shock on their faces.
Ma Tao still kept the expression that he had just gone crazy with him. He stared, slowly turned his head, and looked in the direction pointed by the middle-aged man. Through the sunken glass, he saw another factory building opposite. At this moment, the two tall chimneys there are emitting thick smoke...
