"That...where is it?" Ma Tao asked Xiang Yue'er, looking at the five-story factory opposite and the two chimneys.
"That was the transformation factory for monsters in the past..." There was a hint of fear in the girl's eyes.
"How can we get through?" Ma Tao didn't care about monsters or not, the chariot was the focus.
"It's hard to get past...there are a lot of killing machines there..." The girl turned around and looked at the two of them.
"Don't worry, we have already killed and destroyed many machines. We can kill a few more if they come." Xiao Jinzi laughed and explained to the girl.
"It's different. There are still many clones whose research failed. Although they have no thoughts, they are still human beings. You will hurt them..."
The girl said this, and Ma Tao looked at her eyes and felt that the girl had lied. She must know something.
"Okay! There should be my kidnapped mother over there..."
The girl couldn't stand up to Ma Tao's cold gaze and finally told the truth. It seemed that she didn't want us to hurt her mother over there who she didn't know was there yet.
"Where can I get there?" Ma Tao asked again.
"Go down from here. There is a small doorway downstairs. You should be able to get through there."
The girl was so stunned by Ma Tao's gaze that her shoulders even trembled a little. Ma Tao closed his eyes and thought for a moment. There was only an intersection on the lower floor that he had not been to along the way. It should be the place downstairs where there was a surveillance camera.
"Wait for us here." After Ma Tao said that, he ignored the girl and turned to look at Xiao Jinzi, who was checking the rifle in his hand.
"If we don't come back after two hours, you can leave on your own. Go down the stairs to the right, exit the shabby restaurant, and go straight to the beach. Once you exit the conveyor belt, there will be no killing machines there." Ma Tao He took out the steel knife and checked the pistol on his leg again.
"We killed them all," Xiao Jinzi interrupted, looking at the girl with pride.
"Will you come back if you find the chariot?" the girl asked.
"Hey! What do you mean! Do you think we will abandon you? Or do you think we will die?" Xiao Jinzi looked at her with some dissatisfaction, feeling completely underestimated.
"That's not what I meant, it's just...just..." The girl was startled and looked at Jinbao with some fear.
"That's what! Brother Tao said he would come back, so he will definitely come back!" Xiao Jinzi glared at her and said angrily.
Ma Tao stopped, blinked and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned back to look at the girl.
"Do you dare to come with us? This way you won't have any worries."
Ma Tao said this firstly to solve the girl's worries, secondly because the girl is familiar with this place and can move more conveniently, and thirdly because Ma Tao doesn't know her very well yet, and to be honest, he still doesn't trust them.
"Are you crazy? Carrying two burdens?"
Xiao Jinzi stared at Ma Tao and didn't understand what he was doing. After seeing the girl getting Ma Tao's permission, she started to pack her things and sneaked closer to him to ask.
"We can't take care of you during the battle. It's best to stay far away or find a safe place to hide."
Ma Tao stared at the things the girl had packed, which were all daily necessities, clothes and a little food. Then, the girl fumbled around on the wooden chair of the demented middle-aged man for a while, and then it turned into a wheelchair and put her few things away. After putting it on the wheelchair, he gave the middle-aged man a stuffed teddy bear to hold in his arms.
"He won't yell on the road, right? It will attract monsters!" Xiao Jinzi looked at the middle-aged man playing with the stuffed teddy bear and said with some worry.
"Don't worry, with Bao Xiong here, he won't care even if there is a loud noise." The girl pushed her father out in a wheelchair.
"Xiong Bao?" Ma Tao asked
"That's the teddy bear," the girl said.
"My favorite toy when I was little"
Seeing her father hugging the teddy bear lovingly, the girl explained again.
"Sorry" Ma Tao ignored him.
"It doesn't matter, I've gotten used to it for so long." The girl forced a smile.
"Let's go." Ma Tao took the lead and walked out first.
The three people carried the wheelchair downstairs to the third floor. Ma Tao was in front, the girl was pushing the wheelchair in the middle, and Xiao Jinzi was in the back.
"Wait here." Ma Tao had already seen the monitor with the flashing red light. In order to fear that there were other mechanical monsters hidden behind the door, Ma Tao chose to explore the path alone.
Just within about five meters of the monitoring room, the electronic probe of the monitor turned directly to Ma Tao, obviously discovering Ma Tao's intrusion.
With a click, he raised the knife and lowered it. The sharp titanium alloy steel knife cut across the bottom of the monitor and chopped it off with one knife. Only a few small electric sparks burst out from a few wires. Because the distance was a bit high, Ma Tao jumped up and waved the steel knife, and rolled when he landed, minimizing the noise caused.
The surroundings were quiet. There was only a monitor with no attack capability at the door. After entering, there was a corridor inside. Ma Tao looked up at the roof of the cement shed. There were also several slides on it. He didn't know what those machines were for. Anyway, I didn’t see one in the corridor.
The corridor was very long. About thirty meters further, there was a corner. Ma Tao quietly approached the corner, took a deep breath, suddenly leaned out and looked around the corner, then quickly came back. Still nothing.
"Safety" Ma Tao whispered to the communication watch.
"receive"
Not long after Xiao Jinzi finished answering, Ma Tao saw the three of them appear at the door.
"Lower the muzzle, don't point it at people." Ma Tao looked at Xiao Jinzi's rifle and scolded him in a low voice. The latter yelled and quickly lowered the muzzle of the rifle.
Creak~Creak~
At this moment, a slight noise came from around the corner, and Ma Tao quickly waved his hand in a silent gesture.
Little by little, he stretched out the bright steel knife. In the reflection of the blade, a light red machine was slowly moving over. It was a hypnotic device.
"What?" The girl looked at Ma Tao nervously.
Ma Tao looked at her without saying a word, then pointed at the middle-aged man in the wheelchair, then at the girl, and finally at the doorway where they came from.
The girl understood, nodded, pushed the wheelchair, bent her waist, and began to retreat slowly.
The sound of the creaking pulley was getting closer and closer. Ma Tao never thought that the machine would make such an obvious sound while moving in the silent corridor.
Taking a deep breath and slowly retracting the exposed titanium alloy steel knife, Ma Tao looked at Xiao Jinzi. The guy had already raised the rifle in his hand and aimed at it, staring at the corner without blinking.
Ma Tao looked at him, and he looked at Ma Tao.
The hypnotic device is small and easy to deal with. Don't be hit by the hypnotic wave...
Ma Tao opened his mouth and whispered, and the latter nodded to show that he heard.
There was a flash of white light and a click. I don't know how this thing relies on sensing humans. The moment the corner hypnotic device just revealed its probe, Ma Tao grabbed the titanium alloy steel knife and slashed at the probe device in front of the hypnotic device with all his strength.
Just as Ma Tao expected, no matter how hard the outer shell of this thing is, its exposed attack equipment will never be equally strong. Ma Tao's surprise attack directly destroyed its launcher, and the hypnotic launcher was destroyed. There was no way to attack, but then, the red alarm on this thing sounded harshly.
"Fire"
boom!
This situation is unavoidable. The hypnotic device has already alarmed. Almost at the same time as Ma Tao shouted, Xiao Jinzi's rifle fired. The bullet penetrated the casing of the hypnotic device and came out. The hypnotic device had just turned on. The red light goes out completely.
"Did you hit its temple?" Ma Tao was stunned. He thought it would be a tough battle, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jinzi destroyed the hypnotic device with one shot.
"Is...is it possible?..." Xiao Jinzi was also surprised. This thing could compete with chariots before, but now it was defeated so easily by him?
Ma Tao took back the titanium alloy steel knife and looked at the hypnotic device in front of him again.
"So that's it..." Ma Tao reached out to dismantle the control chip of the hypnotic device, obtained 16G, and finally understood the reason why this machine was so fragile.
"The shell of this machine is made of plastic. It looks quite thick. I thought it was made of steel like the one below. No wonder it's so weak." Ma Tao put the 16G into his pocket and kicked the broken machine hard. , directly kicked down the shell of the hypnotic device hanging in the middle.
"Can't you? Noah is also cutting corners?" Xiao Jinzi could also see clearly and showed a surprised expression.
"Who knows? This is far worse than the ones that just came in."
Ma Tao was no longer studying the hypnotic device. With a wave of his hand, the girl in the distance came over again pushing the wheelchair.
"Keep going," Ma Tao said, still walking at the front and the first to set off.
After turning from the corridor, there are many doors here. They are made of the same material and the same color. Some are open, some are closed, and some have been damaged by external forces. They are all tattered and full of debris. The dust gave off a musty smell, which could be found in about forty or fifty rooms.
"This is the former staff dormitory, but unfortunately there is no one anymore." The girl pushed her father and looked at the door after door with many thoughts.
Ma Tao tried to open the locked doors, but failed. Through the small, blurry window on the door, it was dark inside and nothing could be seen clearly.
"Where is that in front?" After walking through the employee dormitory area, a door appeared in front of him. Ma Tao asked, looking at the iron door.
"In my impression, there should be a platform outside the staff dormitory. In summer, workers' washed clothes are often hung there," the girl said after thinking carefully.
"Is it open-air?" Xiao Jinzi asked.
"Yeah" the girl nodded firmly.
"That's no problem. The machines here all move on the tracks on the walls and roof." Xiao Jinzi let out a long breath, smiled, and looked at Ma Tao.
"That's not necessarily true. Just be careful." Ma Tao pulled out his pistol and led a few people to approach the door softly.
Pushing the ajar iron door open a crack, a gust of cold wind blew out. Ma Tao quickly ducked away. After waiting for a while to make sure there was no danger, he leaned forward and looked outside the door.
The girl is right. There is indeed a platform outside the door, which is nearly 300 square meters in size. There are pulley tracks on the ground and walls for machines to move. Beyond the platform is another factory building. Over there The iron door was also open, but Ma Tao couldn't see what was inside because it was too far away.
"It would be great if there was a telescope, even a single-cylinder one," Ma Tao sighed with emotion.
"telescope?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at Ma Tao and raised the corners of his mouth, then reached out and took out an object from his arms. It was a black round metal mirror with two transparent sides. Then the kid smiled, held it with two thumbs and shook it up and down. It was transparent. The metal mirror suddenly stretched out and turned into a monocular telescope.
"Do you often use it to peek into the women's bathroom or prepare for a night raid on the widow's village?"
Ma Tao was really speechless with him. He actually carried a telescope with him, and it was a style that could be folded and concealed with a foldable cover. He didn't believe it when he told him, so Ma Tao could only give him a blank stare.
"Just tell me whether you want to use it or not." Xiao Jinzi chuckled.
"Do you have night vision?"
"Uh...wait a moment."
Ma Tao was shocked when he saw that he actually started groping on his body, and hurriedly stopped him.
"The night vision device is very simple to make, just..."
"Okay, okay, I believe it! I believe it!"
When Xiao Jinzi saw Ma Tao stopping him, he thought he didn't believe it. Ma Tao didn't dare to let him do this anymore. Besides, it was daytime and there was no need for night vision goggles. He quickly interrupted his next words and thought to himself, this is technical. My brain is dead and I can't tell whether it's a joke or serious.
Ma Tao refused to study this with him, so he quickly took the telescope and started observing everything he could see in the opposite door.
"Two monitors...one in front of the other...and there are defense devices! Yue'er, what's the place on the other side!"
Through the telescope, Ma Tao first saw that there was a surveillance camera at the door opposite, because it was flashing red lights and there were two of them. Because of the light, he couldn't see it inside. Just when Ma Tao was about to put down the telescope, he suddenly found a black shadow moving inside the door. Immediately afterwards, a defense device flashed past the door. Ma Tao quickly used the telescope to look at the window on the side. After finally confirming that there were three defense devices, he took down the telescope with a solemn expression and turned to ask. The girl next to me.
"It used to be a transmission workshop, and later it became a monster transformation factory. I don't know what it is like now..." The girl said carefully, staring at Ma Tao's gloomy and uncertain face.
"Brother Tao, are you sure it's Santai?"
"I am sure"
Ma Tao stared at the iron gate opposite and said with certainty.
"Defender? What is it? Is it very powerful?" the girl asked, looking at the two men who also fell into silence.
"It's more than awesome! That thing can fight against a chariot!" Xiao Jinzi sat down at the door, pouted and said in frustration.
"How about... let's go back," the girl carefully suggested, observing their faces.
Everyone was silent at this moment, except for the silly Yue'er's father who was still hugging the teddy bear and giggling in a carefree manner.
"How many grenades do you have?" Ma Tao, who pondered for a moment, asked Xiao Jinzi directly.
"Two" Xiao Jinzi didn't want to answer directly.
"I have two, too..." Ma Tao muttered quietly, his eyes always turning on Xiao Jinzi and the iron door opposite.
"What are you going to do? You're going to fight for your life again!" Xiao Jinzi stood up looking at Ma Tao's appearance.
"Let me tell you, I don't plan to go crazy with you. If you don't listen, I will connect to Sister Lanxi now!!!"
"you dare!"
"See if I dare!"
The two of them were quarreling with each other, neither giving in to the other. Ma Tao looked at this big boy who was two years younger than him and became very angry. You know, Ma Tao was actually older than him in his heart. Being ten years older, how could he stop being yelled at? He was about to teach Xiao Jinzi a lesson, but suddenly Ma Tao noticed the stubborn eyes of the older boy who was arguing with him.
Really, Ma Tao couldn't express any anger at that time, and all the anger disappeared in those eyes.
This kid doesn't want anything to happen to him, he really cares about himself.
How many years have passed since Ma Tao started working? Except for his parents, no one outside has ever cared about his life or death, and no woman has ever looked at him. Because he is poor, and no one wants to make friends with him. Ma Tao I can only pretend to be a grandson and work hard to earn a living.
How many times have I broken my teeth, fearing that my parents would worry, so I still have to swallow them with a smile, be patient in everything, be humble in everything, be the first to face any danger, no matter how hard and tired I am, I can only fight alone, even if I cry , also in the corner where no one can see.
The various burdens on his shoulders made him breathless. Because of such conditions, he learned to be brave, strong, tolerant, selfless and dedicated. Although in his own world, many people care more about money and rights, but here, He used these to gain love, and now, he has gained friendship, which he never dared to hope for.
"Okay, Xiao Jinzi, I will listen to you this time." Ma Tao patted Xiao Jinzi on the shoulder. At this moment, he was touched to have such a teammate and brother.
"Actually... have you ever thought about letting them come over?" Yue'er, a girl on the side, suddenly interrupted in a low voice.
"What do you mean?" Ma Tao frowned and looked at her.
"When I went out to dig wild vegetables, catch fish at the beach, or look for things, I didn't even think about attacking the machines here. I didn't have weapons, so I just led them to other places," the girl said with a wink.
"That makes sense. Why do we have to kill them? I just need to go there and attract them to leave! What a great idea!!" Ma Tao's eyes lit up and he almost kissed the girl excitedly, but he held it back immediately. .
"In this way, there happens to be a corner at the back. You find a room closest to here in the factory dormitory at the back and hide it. I will attract the defender. Once I succeed, you must hurry up and get out of here! That's it!"
After Ma Tao finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Jinzi and the girl Yue'er to make sure they heard clearly.
"Is this okay? Brother Tao?" Xiao Jinzi was doubtful and still worried about Ma Tao's safety, mainly because the defensive device was really too strong.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to fight it desperately. It's absolutely okay, but..." Ma Tao said and looked up at the girl Yue'er.
"Is there something on my face?" The girl saw Ma Tao staring at her and touched her face, thinking something was wrong.
"Yue'er, what else do I need from you?" Ma Tao said with a smile.
"What?" the girl asked.
"Hair" Ma Tao pointed at the girl Yue'er's waist-length black hair, "Don't want too many, just a few!"
"Pull it." Although she didn't know what Ma Tao wanted his hair for, the girl still chose to believe Ma Tao. Ma Tao didn't hesitate, and stretched out his hand to pull off a few long black hairs. The pain made the girl grin, but she didn't. Shout out.
"Why do you want hair? Do you want to collect it?" Xiao Jinzi asked in confusion as he watched Ma Tao carefully put the hair away in his arms, completely unaware that the girl's face turned red after he said this.
"Don't talk if you don't understand anything!" Ma Tao rolled his eyes, looked at this stupid young man who hated iron, and then began to assign tasks seriously.
