As he spoke, Jack put on his helmet again and started his cool black and red two-wheeled motorcycle with a bang. The violent sound of the engine was deafening, and the entire motorcycle rushed away like an arrow. Go out and start his performance around Ma Tao's motorcade.
Ma Tao frowned and squinted his eyes to look at it seriously.
I saw that the black and red motorcycle chariot was extremely flexible and extremely fast. There was almost no place in this ruined city that could restrict his movement. It drifted, rotated, and rolled in one go. He could even accelerate and leap from this building to the opposite building. Go upstairs, and that's something no tank can do.
Looking at the ghostly and extremely agile motorcycles among the ruins of the city, Ma Tao suddenly understood why people here like motorcycles so much.
"How about it! My skills are good! Ask your captain if I can join!"
In just five or six minutes, Jack drove the motorcycle and made a beautiful flick. With a sizzling sound, the rapidly rotating wheels brought a puff of dust. Jack stopped the motorcycle in front of Ma Tao and swept it without cutting. He glanced at Ma Tao and Lu Xu beside the tank, stretched his neck and shouted at the tank.
"It's really exciting, but I have a question for you."
"I didn't talk to you..."
Jack looked at Ma Tao with disgust and frowned.
"I represent the attitude of our captain"
Ma Tao answered.
"go ahead"
Jack had no choice. After all, only Ma Tao had appeared in the convoy in front of him so far, and no one else paid attention to him.
"Why do you want to be a bounty hunter? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Ma Tao asked a very simple and ordinary question.
"Who is not afraid of death? Who wants to die if he can live? If it weren't for my parents being in poor health, and there are two younger brothers and sisters waiting for dinner at home, and I, the older brother, don't have any ability, in this world, you should be able to imagine What will our lives be like?”
Jack smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly as he spoke. He noticed that the man in front of him had been staring at him as if he was thinking about something. Jack suddenly laughed, patted the motorcycle he was sitting on and said.
"I have earned these back with one knife and one shot. I have the confidence to do better."
"I believe this"
Ma Tao smiled and nodded.
"What's the use of believing in it? You're not their captain."
Jack said.
"He is our captain Ma Tao. You have to listen to him whether you can join or not."
The sound of the jeep's loudspeaker came, and this voice was exactly what Xiao Jinzi said.
Ma Tao never turned off his watch. Through the watch, both Xiao Jinzi and Su Lanxi could hear the conversation between Ma Tao and Jack.
"Are you the captain?"
Jack glanced at Ma Tao in disbelief.
"Guaranteed replacement if fake"
Ma Tao nodded to answer him.
"I finally understand why you, a turtle grandson, laugh so happily. You are deliberately watching my joke, right?"
Jack felt ashamed and angry, pointed at Lu Xu's nose and cursed.
"It has nothing to do with him"
Ma Tao didn't even look at Lu Xu behind him, but still stared at Jack.
Jack's hands trembled with anger, and he knew in his heart that just now he had so despised the man named Ma Tao in front of him, and he was still the captain of the team, so the other party must not have a good impression of him.
"Okay! I was blind just now, can I still join your team now?"
Jack put his hand down abruptly, moved his angry eyes away from Lu Xu, and looked at Ma Tao again.
"Sorry, you can't join my team"
Ma Tao rejected him.
I knew... From the moment he knew that Ma Tao in front of him was the captain, Jack knew that this would be the result, but he still wanted to make a bet, and the result was obvious that he lost the bet.
"Jack! Let's go! They are obviously humiliating you, why are you still here!"
"That's right! People look down on us motorcycle riders at all."
Several young men who were riding motorcycles with Jack before had been waiting for him. They were not far away and also witnessed everything that happened.
Although they also felt unfair about Jack's experience, they were not stupid enough to use motorcycles to challenge the tanks. Their strength was indeed much stronger than theirs. The armor thickness of the tank alone was enough. I have been shooting for a while, not to mention they have cannons.
"Sorry to bother you..."
Jack tried hard to restrain himself, took one last look at Ma Tao, and remembered him completely in his heart. He turned around, put on his helmet, and started the motorcycle with a bang. The motorcycle hunters with him also roared at the same time. The motorcycle chariot vents the dissatisfaction and injustice towards Jack.
Jack left. Without saying a word, he followed the motorcycle hunters and rode quickly to Odo.
Ma Tao looked at the direction they were leaving and said nothing for a long time.
Ma Tao actually admired the green-haired Jack, especially when he left at the end, he was still able to control his emotions and was not sad or angry. He was indeed a good piece of material. With time, he would definitely have something amazing. score.
"Thank you, Brother Tao, for confiscating him. This guy is always against me."
When Lu Xu saw Jack leaving, he smiled charmingly to please Ma Tao and said again.
"That Jack is always self-righteous, always thinks he is very powerful, and is extremely arrogant. He leads a bunch of poor boys to drive around on their broken motorcycles all day long, just beating up monsters. He has no real skills..."
"enough!"
Ma Tao interrupted Lu Xu and gave him a cold look.
"I'm much better than you."
Ma Tao really looked down on Lu Xu, a real villain. He also disliked things like saying bad things about people behind their backs. He glared at Lu Xu, saw that he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything, and snorted coldly.
"Get back to your own armored car! Take us into Odo! Then you can go"
With these words behind him, Ma Tao climbed onto the tank, opened the hatch and went inside.
When Lu Xu heard that he could go back to the armored vehicle, his face was overjoyed. After hearing that he could leave after arriving at Odo, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He kept bowing to Ma Tao's tank and kept saying thank you. …Thanks…
"Why didn't you agree to Jack's joining? I think he is really good."
Back in the tank, Ma Tao drove the tank and asked Su Lanxi to take a rest for a while. When Su Lanxi was free, he smiled and asked him what happened just now.
"Yes, Brother Tao, I didn't dare to ask you outside just now. I also think Jack is pretty good, he's very similar to me."
Ma Tao's communication watch had not yet been turned off. Xiao Jinzi also heard Su Lanxi's words and asked the same doubts in his heart.
"He is different from you. You two are completely opposite. You became a bounty hunter because of your fanatical love for technicians, and he became what he is today because of the pressure of life."
Ma Tao followed the armored vehicle in front closely, answering Xiao Jinzi's words.
"What about you? Why did you become a bounty hunter?"
I had never heard Ma Tao talk about this issue before, so Su Lanxi also became interested in this topic.
"I'm doing this for myself"
Ma Tao looked at Su Lanxi's cheeks and thought for a while before saying.
"For yourself? What do you mean?"
Su Lanxi blinked his big spiritual eyes and thought for a while, but he didn't understand the meaning of Ma Tao's words.
"I will not live in vain for the sake of coming into this world."
Ma Tao's words made Su Lanxi even more confused.
"That's really great..."
After a long while, Xiao Jinzi replied.
"Tell me why you didn't agree with Jack."
Su Lanxi couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. Knowing that if he didn't want to talk, no one would be able to ask, so he changed the subject and continued to ask Ma Tao's previous question.
"Because his responsibility is so great that he almost bears the burden of his whole family. It is undeniable that Jack is very good and has good driving skills, and he is also very admirable, but he is not like Xiao Jinzi because of fanaticism, nor is he like you because of lack of We can return home. In our current situation, the risk factor for us in the future will become higher and higher. If I agree to his joining, I agree to the sacrifice of him and his whole family. For him, staying here is Otto, a place he is familiar with, is much safer than following us desperately."
Ma Tao expressed his thoughts.
"You think so comprehensively..."
In the watch, Xiao Jinzi just said this and then there was no movement, while Su Lanxi was also silent.
More and more motorcycles were whizzing by on both sides of the convoy, and several jeeps passed by Ma Tao and the others. Ma Tao also found a heavy tank among them. The weapons on it were not even connected to Ma Tao. I can't even name it. The only thing I know is that the barrel of this heavy tank is much thicker than Ma Tao's 55mm gun, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
When the two convoys passed by each other, Ma Tao looked at them on the screen. He believed that they were also looking at him. From the looks of them, they should have just left Odo District 1 and were heading to Districts 2 and 3. place.
"Xiao Jinzi, what kind of tank is that?"
Regarding the model of the tank, Ma Tao had to ask Xiao Jinzi. After all, this guy was a mechanical technician. He must have in-depth research on the tank, otherwise, how would he repair the tank.
"Tiger tank combat vehicle, a medium-sized combat vehicle, with a main gun of 80mm anti-aircraft gun, very powerful, ATM missiles, SE equipment, well, you can only see these from the outside. As for the chassis and engine, I don't know, but it is very powerful."
Xiao Jinzi must have been observing the tank passing in the opposite direction, and directly read out the opponent's firepower configuration.
He is indeed much stronger than me...
The convoy walked farther and farther, and finally appeared at the corner of the ruins of the city.
"Here we are! Otto is here"
The door of the armored vehicle opened, and Lu Xu jumped out, pointing his hand forward and shouting.
Ma Tao opened the hatch and climbed out of the tank. He saw some guards about thirty meters in front checking the tanks and pedestrians coming and going. The heavy machine guns extending from the fortifications on both sides were dark in color. They were used. A heavy weapon used to block monsters that suddenly appear.
"you can go now"
Ma Tao glanced down at Lu Xu, who was waiting beside the tank and chariot with an expectant look on his face.
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Tao!"
Lu Xu hurriedly ran back to his armored vehicle, fearing that he would regret it if he ran too late.
Watching the armored vehicle drive away with dust, Ma Tao returned to the tank.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about asking Lu Xu to lead them all the way. After all, having a local person to lead the way will make everything easier. But after Ma Tao thought about it, he felt that it was inappropriate to have someone who was not one of his own. People always feel uneasy when they are on their own. Thinking of this, Ma Tao simply decided to find everything by himself.
Target Otto, let’s go
The guard at the door symbolically checked Ma Tao's two chariots, and after confirming that they were driven by humans and not Noah's monsters, they registered the identification cards of Ma Tao and the other three, and then let them go. However, I don't know. Why, all women who enter Odo must wash their hands in a wash basin on the other side before entering. I don’t know what the strange rule is. In Lu Xu’s words, everyone is the same, and others don’t take it to heart. , thinking it was a custom, and left it at that. After Su Lanxi washed his hands, the three of them continued into the city.
Finally arrived at Odo, the three of them were very excited. Xiao Jinzi immediately clamored to go to the iron cave in Odo. It was rare to encounter such a place that Xiao Jinzi yearned for endlessly. Ma Tao and Su Lanxi Not wanting to dampen his enthusiasm, I just obeyed him and went to the Iron Cave first.
Because of the existence of the iron cave, most people who come to Odo District 1 come for the tanks, so there are quite a lot of tanks here, and tanks are relatively rare. Then there are armored vehicles. In this short stretch, Ma Tao I saw at least eight or nine vehicles, followed by jeeps and motorcycles.
There is also a kind of chariot here that I have seen for the first time. Rather than saying that it is a chariot, it is really not appropriate. That thing is an ordinary civilian car modified, with weird shapes and various shapes.
Although civilian vehicles can also be used as combat vehicles, the frame of a civilian vehicle is not a military product after all. Its thickness, strength, durability and impact resistance are completely incomparable with real combat vehicles. Many modified civilian vehicles are even There are no armor pieces, they are just welded on with steel bars and iron sheets. They can neither have the elasticity of reactive armor nor can they fall off like armor pieces.
You must know that when the tank's armor pieces are attacked by artillery shells, they will crack and fall off, and even take the shape of fragments. This can remove the huge force generated by external attacks, and the exposed next layer of armor pieces will still be intact, effectively resisting the next attack. An attack.
Because the civilian modified tank has no armor pieces, it relies entirely on the iron shell to resist attacks. Its performance can be imagined. Because of the modification, this type of vehicle has doubled its weight and lost its flexibility. It is simply the best living target, even worse than a motorcycle. Motorcycle safety. Many times, after a battle, the vehicle is completely scrapped, and there is no possibility that the people inside can survive.
Most of the people who use civilian modified vehicles are ordinary people who are forced by life, or are low-end hunters, hoping that they will be lucky enough to have a chance to find a tank, or beat small monsters, and save some money to buy a new one. Ordinary motorcycles and motorcycles, and then slowly developed.
In the first area, all the vehicles here are parked casually. Some of the owners of those chariots have left, and some are standing or sitting next to their chariots, observing the people passing by, and meeting beautiful women constantly. Some people were whistling, and some wealthy people were puffing on cigarettes.
Although Ma Tao's light tank is rare, it has appeared here from time to time. It makes people feel that Ma Tao is just lucky and is not as eye-catching as in Seoul.
"The consumables of armored vehicles should be similar to those of tanks. Why are there not a few tanks here, but all armored vehicles? Is it because there are so many people who can do it?"
Ma Tao asked while driving and observing the vehicles on both sides.
“You’ll know just by looking over there.”
Su Lanxi sat in the passenger seat and gestured with his eyes.
Ma Tao had not been paying attention to the top of his head. At this moment, he received Su Lanxi's signal and looked up. Good guy, there is a quite large display screen above his head, which is vigorously promoting the rental information of armored vehicles at 200G a day. Of course, there are also tanks for rent. It's just that the price is really not cheap, it's twice as expensive as an armored vehicle.
“It turns out they all rented it.”
Ma Tao sighed with emotion all the way.
"Not necessarily. As long as you can find a chariot, others will also have good luck."
Su Lanxi smiled sweetly and continued, "Having said that, the armored vehicle is really spacious and can accommodate so many people. It's really good."
"What? You like doing it in an armored car?"
Ma Tao rolled his eyes and looked at her mischievously.
"Do you want to die!"
"I just want to die, please let me die!"
"Looking for a fight"
"Hitting is affection, scolding is love"
………
Su Lanxi was no longer a girl, so she understood what Ma Tao meant, so she stretched out her hand and hit him, but it was not painful or itchy. For a while, there was laughter and loud noises in the tank.
Why did this car go into an S-curve?
Xiao Jinzi in the jeep was listening to loud music when he suddenly found that the tank in front of him was shaking from side to side, and he didn't know why.
"Brother Tao! What's wrong with your car? Is there something wrong with the power steering?"
Xiao Jinzi turned off the car music, turned on the communication watch, and called Ma Tao.
After a long time, a dull voice came from the other party.
"It's okay, I might have hit a rock."
Looking for the iron cave, Ma Tao originally thought it would be a very simple thing. The iron cave, as the name suggests, must be at the entrance of a cave. However, Ma Tao almost visited the small area of Odo 1 and even went to I went to the civilian area to check, but I couldn't find any holes.
"If I had known this, I would have kept that Lu Xu."
Not finding the iron hole made Ma Tao a little upset.
"Why have you become stupid? There is a mouth under the nose. If you can't find it, you can ask. Can the iron hole grow legs on its own and run away?"
Su Lanxi covered her mouth and chuckled.
yes!
Ma Tao was stunned and turned to look at Su Lanxi.
"When did you become so smart?"
While he was talking, the tank had stopped.
"Why aren't you leaving again? Aren't you looking for the iron cave?"
After experiencing this for a while, Xiao Jinzi had already lost the energy he had when he first came to Odo, and he was also unhappy because he couldn't find the iron cave.
"Don't worry, Xiao Jinzi, sister will go ask you."
Su Lanxi was about to put on the veil as he spoke.
"I'll go! There are a lot of people out there, and there are all kinds of people. Just stay in the car and don't bother me."
Ma Tao stood up from the driver's seat, pinned the P1911 on his lap and got out of the tank.
