When a female driver takes to the road, an experienced driver avoids her.
The chariots driven by Su Lanxi and Gao Han both have a common problem, that is, they don't look at the road, they focus on the direction in front of them, and they just focus on going straight. No matter what is under their feet, what is on both sides, and whether they can pass by, they all choose They ran over them directly without stopping. Fortunately, they were driving chariots. If this was a car, it would have been smashed into pieces.
According to what Ma Tao said last night, the train track was indeed found. It was not far away. The track could be seen within a thousand meters.
After driving along the train track for about five kilometers, rows of dead trees began to appear on both sides of the railway. They looked like Poplar euphratica trees, and they were very large. The traces of artificial planting were obvious. However, these trees now They are all dead, and in many cases only a bare tree stump is left standing there. Apart from bringing sadness to people, there is no beauty at all.
As you continue walking, there are more and more dead trees on both sides of the train track. You can imagine what it used to be like here, with fast trains speeding along the tracks and green trees on both sides.
Ma Tao woke up before noon. It was really hard to have a good rest in such a hot weather. He met the minions of the Noah monster and had to fight from time to time. The heat was already uncomfortable, and with the sound of gunfire, The sound of cannons and gunfire could be heard all the time. He almost fell asleep and woke up for a while, and his whole body felt groggy. In the end, Ma Tao simply stopped sleeping and directly took over the seat of Su Lanxi, the female driver.
Su Lanxi stood up from his seat and his watch rang.
"What's wrong? Is Ma Tao awake?"
01 As soon as the tank stopped, Gao Han's questioning voice came from the watch.
"How did you know I was awake?"
Ma Tao, who was about to sit down and drink some water, didn't hide anything and asked.
"How do you think I know this? It wasn't even Xiao Jinzi in my car who was clamoring to drive."
When Gao Han heard Ma Tao's movements, he snorted angrily and said, "You men are all the same, aren't you just driving for meetings? Whoever is becoming more and more skilled will be born to drive."
"Hey! Who did this to you? Are you so angry?"
Ma Tao replied listening to the almost harsh decibel sound in his watch, and then he looked at Su Lanxi, the co-pilot, with a strange look on his face.
"You, a good brother, keep nagging me about my driving. Sometimes this is wrong, and sometimes that is wrong. It's really annoying to me."
It could be heard from Gao Han's voice on the watch that this woman was really angry.
Xiao Jinzi still has this skill?
It's novel to be able to make Sister Han, who is not afraid of anything and knows everything, feel angry. Is it possible that teaching someone to drive can really be so intolerable?
Finally, Ma Tao realized that teaching women to drive was unbearable.
In this way, the two tanks were driven by Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi again and continued to set off. When they stopped, Gao Han returned to the 01 jeep angrily, as if Xiao Jinzi had given her a great deal of anger.
The one-kilowatt light bulb returned to the two of them again, and Ma Tao wondered whether this was Xiao Jinzi's intention.
On the display screen, intermittent turquoise appeared on the left front of the convoy. It looked like an oasis, but it felt wrong, because if it were an oasis, there should definitely be trees growing, and there were none visible within the line of sight. A green tree.
"Could it be a mirage?"
Su Lanxi asked, looking at the looming green.
"You'll know if you go and see it. It's not that far anyway."
Gao Han, who was lying in the back seat of Su Lanxi, replied.
In the wild, whenever you encounter a suspicious place, you must go and take a look. This is a wise saying, but danger and opportunity coexist. The only thing one can do is to be more careful. If it is danger, stay away. If it is lucky, that is Shi Ye Ming Ye's great wealth, but this time, Ma Tao and the others did not encounter any danger or luck. The green in front of them was indeed a piece of grass, and it was a large depression. The difference was that this place was artificially The traces are quite obvious.
The entire depression was surrounded by guardrails, as if they didn't want anyone to get close. Looking at it, the area of the depression in this grassland was quite large. It seemed that this place should have been a lake originally. Now, the lake has dried up, leaving only There are a few small puddles below. Maybe it won't be long before the lake disappears completely and is eventually buried by yellow sand.
Because there were guardrails and the land on the edge was very steep, people could not get down to the puddles below. This made the team that originally wanted to replenish some water decisively give up the idea of staying here and continue on their way.
"I remembered that when I went to Rock before, someone told me that not far from Rock Town, there is a large freshwater lake that is about to dry up."
Gao Han in the tank tried to recall something.
"That means Rock is nearby?"
Ma Tao asked.
"probably"
Gao Han replied.
"Don't do it. How should we go next? Or go north?"
Ma Tao asked again.
Gao Han thought for a while and looked at the surrounding environment on the car's display screen. She couldn't remember where to go.
Seeing her like this, Ma Tao knew that his asking was in vain. He had to make a decision on his own, so he drove the chariot and continued northbound. If he went the wrong way, he would have to fax him back.
Just as the convoy was about to set off, it encountered two huge mechanical crabs.
Encountered crabs in this drying lake, although not real crabs.
Ma Tao smiled self-deprecatingly.
Two mechanical crabs fired three rockets at the 01 tank tank directly in front, taking away 17 armor pieces of the tank. One of the red mechanical crabs was dismembered into useless pieces by Ma Tao's 95 cannon. Iron, after consuming another 16 pieces of armor, the remaining one was also destroyed. Even though the two mechanical crabs were not small in size, they did not contain much G. When dismantled, the total was less than 80G.
After seven or eight kilometers, the continuous railway track disappeared, and what appeared in front of you was a deep forest of dead trees. All kinds of dry trees were like soldiers who died on the battlefield, as if they were telling people majestically that they had been fighting. The tragic last moment.
Ma Tao and the others were in a very special position. Directly in front of them was the endless forest of dead trees. Bordering the forest was an unknown mountain range. The Gobi Desert was blocked by this mountain. We arrived at the lush green vegetation on the mountain, but the mountain road was rugged and difficult to navigate. We could walk but not drive. It was easy to get trapped when we entered the mountain at a loss. We couldn’t distinguish between east, west and north. On the left was this almost dry lake, and on the right was the vast expanse. desert.
"Sister Han, are you thinking about whether there are any landmark buildings or anything special near that Rock?"
Ma Tao stopped the car and asked.
It had been several days since he left Odo, and he still hadn't seen the shadow of Rock Town, which made Ma Tao wonder if he had deviated from the route.
"Something special?"
Gao Han slowly sat back in the rest cabin of the carriage, frowned slightly and thought carefully, "I remember that the area near Rock Town is completely desert, and there is a lake on the edge, not far from the town, and there is a section of railway. These are"
After saying that, she looked at Ma Tao and Su Lanxi who were also looking at her.
"Forget it, let's just get here today."
Ma Tao sighed, knowing that was all Gao Han could think of, so he used his watch to notify Xiao Jinzi that they should rest where they were.
Driving a chariot is also a tiring job. After a long time, you also need to rest, especially in such a hot environment, it makes your eyes tired to see.
The location they were in, because it was uncovered, had no shade to hide in. It was just a matter of slowing down their feet and replenishing water. Because it was too hot, no one even bothered to get out of the car, and would rather suffocate in the car. , and don’t want to go outside to be exposed to the sun.
However, there are exceptions. Personal physiological problems always have to be solved somewhere. Ma Tao, who drank a lot of water, became anxious. There was no way. This kind of problem could not be solved in the car. The car was too small and did not have that function. , he had no choice but to get out of the car, wanting to experience the harshness of the sun in the desert. Ma Tao was really unwilling to move, but his mind could bear it, but his kidneys couldn't bear it. If his kidneys could bear it, his bladder would burst. In the end, he could only drag his tired body to open the hatch to go out for convenience. As soon as the chariot came out, Ma Tao was stunned.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. This is true at all. When Ma Tao opened the hatch and was about to get off the car, he was extremely uncomfortable under the hot sun. When he raised his eyes, a burst of light flickered.
At first he thought he was dazzled by the sun, so he rubbed his eyes with his hands, but the bright light was still there.
"what?"
Ma Tao squinted his eyes and stared at the bright spot. As soon as he said this sentence, his originally squinted eyes suddenly opened wide.
It's water!
Yes, that’s water!
It’s the sunlight reflected from the large water surface!
In an instant, Ma Tao understood. It turned out that they were not far from Rock, and they might even be walking around Rock Town without knowing it.
After thinking about this, Ma Tao forgot to go to the convenience store, patted the chariot vigorously, turned on his watch and shouted at the same time.
"Everyone get up! Everyone get up! I found Rock!"
As soon as his hand touched the surface of the chariot, Ma Tao was so hot that he retracted his hand in an instant. His energy was refreshed. Ma Tao suddenly felt that something was not good. He felt like a flood was about to start. He couldn't care less. Ma Tao jumped up in two steps. Come down and start solving your personal problems on the spot.
"Please can you pay attention!"
Gao Han in the car was woken up by Ma Tao's loud shout. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ma Tao's indecent behavior on the screen and quickly covered his eyes with his hands.
"Stop talking nonsense, Xiao Jinzi, get ready to go!"
Ma Tao climbed into the car while lifting his pants.
It's easy to get down, but it's hard to get up. A tank is not like a jeep. You can get on by opening the door. The tank needs to climb up, but the surface of the vehicle is so exposed to the sun that you can fry an egg. There is no place for ants to stay, let alone people. , withdrew his hand as soon as he touched it.
Ma Tao quickly took out the leather gloves he had never used because of the heat from his pocket and put them on before returning to the car.
"receive"
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Xiao Jinzi will not doubt Ma Tao's words.
Driving towards the light that he just saw, only a few dozen kilometers away, a town built on the edge of a small lake oasis appeared in front of everyone.
"Rock! It's really Rock!"
Gao Han just glanced at the buildings on the edge of the lake and recognized that this was Luo Ke. He and Su Lanxi happily jumped up in the carriage.
Rock Town is a human gathering point located on the edge of a desert oasis. It has a small population and is similar to a large transfer station because it was built based on this water source of about a few hundred meters.
The geographical location of Rock Town is crucial. It is conceivable that if the water here dries up, Rock Town will not exist.
The earliest Rock Town was a small-scale camp spontaneously established by some travelers, businessmen, mercenaries and bounty hunters. Later, businessmen opened various shops here, and various people with skills also opened it. After coming here, more and more people came to Rock, and many people decided to settle here completely, and finally developed into what it is now.
Today's Rock Town is prosperous and prosperous. Even without any regular military management, it can still exist without being destroyed by Noah. In the final analysis, Rock is the home of everyone who comes here. In Rock Town, no matter what you did before Yes, no one cares. Once Rock is in danger, everyone will unite to guard Rock, the supply point in the desert. Therefore, Rock is more peaceful than other cities. In such a big environment No one is willing to destroy the balance of Rock Town, because once someone breaks the rules, it will infringe on everyone's interests and will be attacked by the entire town. Rock is everyone's Rock. Grams, because everyone needs a place like this.
“Places like this are really rare”
Ma Tao and his two chariots drove into Luoke. The prosperity in front of them was really eye-opening. People in the whole town were busy with their own things. No one checked or guarded. Everything was so peaceful. Orderly and orderly, this place is as lively as a large market.
Of course, the rules will not change. For example, fixed chariot activity areas and human activity areas must always be separated. After all, no town will allow chariots to run rampant inside.
"where are we going?"
Looking at the bustling crowd outside, Su Lanxi also became very happy.
"When a bounty hunter arrives at a place, of course he first replenishes ammunition and armor."
Ma Tao stretched out his hand and gently scratched her nose, causing Gao Han behind him to roll his eyes.
The place for replenishing ammunition and armor for tanks is always the largest building in a town. It is very easy to find, and there are usually some iconic tank graphics outside the building. The same is true for the tank supply point in Rock Town, which is It's the largest cement-walled building inside.
Because it has to accommodate the movement of chariots, such a place is really large.
After entering, Ma Tao discovered that there were not only tank supply points, but also a car repair shop and a bounty hunter service center (Warrior Office). It seemed that this was a gathering place for many aspects.
The chariot supply point is at the far right corner. It is easy to find. There are not many vehicles that come to replenish ammunition. There is no one else when Ma Tao and his two chariots drive past. After all, one replenishment can last for a long time.
"Warrior, welcome to Rock Town, where rubble and sand can be seen everywhere"
When the five people got out of the car, the young man in red overalls saw Xiao Jinzi lowering his head to sort out the sand that had just fallen from the roof, and greeted everyone with a smile.
“I don’t like this place”
I had just finished arranging the sand on my hair, and when I looked up, for some reason, another piece of sand fell on my head. Xiao Jinzi was so angry that he didn't do it anymore, and just stood there with a disgraced face and looked at everyone.
"It seems this place doesn't like me either."
Xiao Jinzi said.
"Meow~~"
A cat meowed. A small tabby cat looked down from the beam on the roof. When he saw the people below looking at him, he meowed and retracted his furry head.
"It seems it's not that this place doesn't like you, it's that it doesn't like you."
The young man in red clothes at the counter pointed to the cat above and said. Everyone laughed when they saw Xiao Jinzi's extremely depressed look. Only An Ruo stretched out her hand to help Xiao Jinzi rearrange her hair that was stained by the sand. .
"I hate cats"
Xiao Jinzi angrily made a face at the tabby cat on the roof, which frightened the cat and ran away.
"I'm a salesperson here. You can call me Xiaowei. Here are some guests from afar. What do you want to add to your chariot?"
The young man in red clothes at the counter looked at the two chariots behind them and asked.
"How do you know we came from afar?"
Su Lanxi, who was wearing a veil, asked.
"Reply to this mysterious lady, because I know everyone here, and those who don't know me are just here."
Xiaowei smiled and then asked, "Anything to add?"
“Replenish everything”
Ma Tao said.
"I am willing to serve you. Let me first see how much is needed."
The salesperson Xiaowei took out the equipment on his body and walked to the side of the 01 tank. After connecting it to the tank system with a data cable, he observed the data of the vehicle.
"Do the people who come to you to replenish their equipment have a very good impression of you?"
Looking at the salesman Xiao Wei who was concentrating on using the instrument to check, Gao Han leaned forward slightly, looked at his handsome face from the side and asked.
"how to say?"
Xiaowei turned around and glanced at Gao Han, and found that she was an extremely enchanting, high-quality beauty. Especially the way this woman looked at people and spoke seemed to be seductive. Just one look at her made her face feel hot. .
"Are you still blushing?"
Gao Han seemed to have discovered a new world, and his eyes were smiling more charmingly.
"The eldest sister started seducing the little brother again."
Ma Tao whispered in Su Lanxi's ear.
"Both tanks are fully replenished...155G of shells and 22G of armor pieces, a total of 178G."
Maybe because he was embarrassed by Gao Han, Xiaowei felt a little awkward when he spoke.
"178G, can you waive it? 100G?"
Gao Han said again.
"Okay...ah no, I, I'm not the boss"
The temptation of the beautiful woman made Xiaowei, who was a little stunned, stunned for 0.01 seconds, but he immediately realized it. It seemed that beauty and money, it was money that made him more rational.
"oh"
The plan failed, Gao Han was slightly disappointed and his sexy red lips retreated, but Gao Han was still very happy to tease the young man like this.
"Always play with fire like this, be careful to set yourself on fire"
Ma Tao glanced at Xiaowei, the salesperson who was still peeking at Gao Han from time to time. He glared at Gao Han next to him angrily, took out his identification card, and paid 178G.
"I just like to play with fire. Besides, in the third chapter of the agreement, there seems to be no agreement that I can't play with fire."
Gao Han stared back unceremoniously, then opened the door of the jeep without looking back and got in the car to rest.
Ma Tao was silent. He had known that this woman would be like this. He really shouldn't have recruited her into the team in the first place. Now it's too late. At least Su Lanxi and An Ruo would not agree to Ma Tao letting Gao Han leave. Even if Ma Tao Tao pulled Xiao Jinzi, and it was only a tie with two votes. One wrong step, one wrong step after another...
The money has been given, and the next step is to hand it over to the salesperson Xiaowei. The ammunition is replenished very quickly. Replenishing armor pieces is a troublesome task. It is expected to take half an hour. There is no place for five people to go. So just watch here. Working with Xiaowei, a young man who works hard can be immune to all temptations outside, and this boy can be considered clean and neat in his work.
"Hey, why don't you install a main gun on that vehicle? Don't you have any money?"
Xiaowei, who came out with armor pieces in his hand, asked casually.
"It's not that we don't have money, this car doesn't have any holes and can't install a main gun."
Speaking of this question, the expression of Xiao Jinzi, who was chatting and laughing with An Ruo, suddenly darkened. Naturally, Ma Tao noticed all this, but he still had to answer the salesman Xiaowei's question. After all, he was also unintentional. Ask curiously.
Unexpectedly, Xiaowei, who was replenishing the 01 tank, glanced at the jeep behind him and said these words, which made Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi tremble at the same time.
"If you don't have an eye, then you can just use an eye. If you don't have a main gun, do you just use the secondary cannon to fight monsters? How long will it take?"
Salesman Xiaowei's casual words made Xiao Jinzi, who was sitting on the ground chatting with An Ruo, stand up from the ground and look at Ma Tao not far away with a shocked face. Ma Tao happened to be watching too. he.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xiao Jinzi stood up suddenly, startling An Ruo who was talking to him, and asked quickly.
Su Lanxi also stared blankly at the two men looking at each other.
Both of them heard something different from the salesperson Xiaowei's words.
"You mean, you can drill chariots here?"
In order to confirm what he heard, Ma Tao stared at Xiaowei who was replenishing armor plates for the 01 tank word by word and asked.
"Why are you so surprised? Rock Town is a place full of talents. What does this mean?"
Salesperson Xiaowei looked at Ma Tao who looked serious and felt a little funny.
"Then...then can you tell me where to go for eye surgery?"
Xiao Jinzi was really shocked to get this news from the salesman Xiaowei. He had been looking forward to this answer for more than a day or two. He even thought about it in his dreams. Could this question that has been bothering him really be here today? Was it resolved? This news is simply the greatest gospel for Xiao Jinzi.
