The weather in the desert was so hot that pedestrians could hardly walk during the day. After walking for a long time, Su Lanxi couldn't bear the scorching sun anymore, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to be alone with Ma Tao, even under such a scorching sun.
"Let's find a place to rest."
The harsh sun also made Ma Tao's mouth dry. Looking at the thin layer of sweat on his woman's forehead, Ma Tao couldn't help but pull her to hide in the shade behind the wall of a house.
The temperature difference is different outside the sun. The wind blowing under the sun is scorching hot, but once in the shade, the cool breeze is extremely comfortable.
"You said, those people are still busy driving in their cars at this time, aren't they afraid of the heat?"
Su Lanxi squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
"What?"
Ma Tao looked in the direction she was looking.
Even though there were no people where the two of them were, opposite them was the water source of Rock Town, that is, the freshwater lake. Countless caravans and mercenaries were fetching water there and sorting their supplies and luggage. Some of them were Those who have finished it have gathered the team and are ready to continue setting off.
In the world after Noah launched the great destruction, human life is deteriorating. In addition to large towns, there are many small strongholds established by humans themselves, ranging from hundreds to dozens of strongholds. The smallest human stronghold may not even With more than twenty people, there are countless small human groups like this hidden all over the world. Therefore, caravans are indispensable and came into being.
The caravans in this world not only travel through large human towns like this, but also go to small human strongholds. The caravans are responsible for selling the materials in the towns to the leaders or residents of these small strongholds, and then selling them at low prices. Acquire some things that the caravan thinks are useful, return to the town and sell them to other places in need, earning the price difference. Each caravan has their own familiar and developed routes, and they travel through this world. Every corner.
The area near the water source in Rock is always the most lively place. It is bustling with people and busy with traffic. It is a must-go water supply place for all caravans. The noise will not stop until night.
"Yeah, isn't it hot in their car?"
Ma Tao also expressed doubts. Looking at the busy caravans, Ma Tao suddenly thought of something.
air conditioner!
The caravan can still move in such unbearably hot weather. This does not mean that these people are not afraid of heat, but it means that they must have some means to reduce the temperature inside the car. In this way, they must have refrigeration equipment in the car.
"Su Lanxi, you are really my lucky star."
The words woke up the dreamer. After thinking about this, Ma Tao no longer wanted to suffer from the boring can, so he reached out and held Su Lanxi's face, lifted her veil, and kissed her directly on her red lips.
"I...what's wrong with me?"
Su Lanxi pushed him away quickly, blushing with shame, and hurriedly put on the veil again. She really didn't understand how her just saying a word could make Ma Tao become like this.
"Those caravans have refrigeration equipment in their cars! So they are not afraid of the high temperature of the sun. I have always forgotten about it. Now you remind me, why did you say you are not my lucky star?"
Ma Tao was so excited that he leaned in again, wanting to kiss her again.
"Oh, there is someone..."
Su Lanxi was thin-skinned and hurriedly hid to the side to prevent him from succeeding. She lowered her head like a thief and used her eyes to see if anyone noticed them. Those smart and beautiful eyes matched her helpless expression. The movements are as cute as a fawn that has been fertilized.
He didn't kiss, and Ma Tao wasn't angry either. He turned on his communication watch and called out, "Xiao Jinzi, come to the parking lot with me right away. It's urgent."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Xiao Jinzi on the other side of the watch was panicked and didn't know what he was doing.
"Don't worry, come quickly"
Ma Tao replied.
"oh"
There was a reply from the other side and the call ended.
"Are you so anxious?"
Su Lanxi asked beside him.
"Urgent, I'm afraid I'm forgetting"
Ma Tao laughed, stretched out his hand, took Su Lanxi's soft and boneless hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go there quickly."
"Um"
Su Lanxi nodded slightly and let him hold her hand.
In the parking area next to the chariot supply point, Ma Tao and Su Lanxi, who had been waiting here for a long time, met Xiao Jinzi, who was running over with sweat on his face.
"Were you chased by a dog?"
Ma Tao asked, looking at Xiao Jinzi who ran up to him panting.
"It's not you. You came to me in such a hurry and didn't say anything. What's going on?"
Xiao Jinzi opened his mouth, bent over, and answered while breathing heavily.
"Let me ask you, is it hot in the car when you go out hunting?"
Ma Tao opened his mouth and asked.
"Is it still hot? It's not like you don't know that I'm about to be fucked by a roaster. I need to drink water all the time. You didn't bring me here just for this, right?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at Ma Tao speechlessly and asked.
"Have you seen it? This is such a stubborn person. He is so stubborn that he doesn't even know how to say a word."
Ma Tao pointed at Xiao Jinzi and said to Su Lanxi who was covering his mouth and laughing softly.
"Okay, let's go"
Su Lanxi rolled her eyes at Ma Tao and said.
"Where to go?"
Xiao Jinzi stared at the two of them blankly, not knowing what they were talking about.
"You said you were so hot that you never thought about how you could not be hot?"
Ma Tao shook his head, looked at him seriously and said.
"Not hot? You need to install refrigeration equipment!"
Xiao Jinzi thought for a moment and understood immediately.
"You finally figured it out"
Ma Tao patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, I just want to see what good chariot equipment we have."
When they came to the parked 01 tank combat vehicle, Ma Tao almost didn't recognize his old friend with a gray face.
"Hey, I was in such a hurry to come back that I forgot to replenish the armor pieces and ammunition."
Xiao Jinzi scratched his head awkwardly and smiled.
"Let's talk about it when we come back"
After Ma Tao finished speaking, he climbed onto Chariot 01 with Su Lanxi.
After encountering so many high-speed cars, Xiao Jinzi could win a complete victory by himself. Although the chariot was a bit awkward, there was no doubt about Xiao Jinzi's driving ability.
The tank equipment store also occupies a large area, and there is enough space inside the wall to run a large truck.
It's easy to find stores that sell chariot parts. They are usually next to or together with the chariot equipment store. Rock's chariot parts store is right opposite the equipment store. The two stores are door to door and cabinet to cabinet, which is very convenient.
The person in charge of selling chariot parts is a man in his thirties or forties, with thick eyebrows and short hair. He is dressed in gray cloth, probably for the convenience of work. Even if the clothes are a little dirty, there is no need to change them all the time.
Ma Tao had said at the beginning that there must be refrigeration equipment in this Gobi Desert. Sure enough, the short-haired brother's parts store did have air coolers. Not only air coolers, but also other equipment could be installed.
The installation price of the air cooler is 600G per unit, which is not cheap, and can even be said to be very expensive, but there is no way. Who calls this a desert? The principle of scarcity is the most appropriate to apply at this time. Even if it is expensive, you You have to use it, otherwise you have to endure the pain. Therefore, in terms of price, the short-haired brother will not give up a cent. If you bite the bullet, this is the price. You can buy it or not.
There was no other way. Ma Tao had just enough money to install two units, so he gritted his teeth and finally compromised.
The installation of the air cooler takes time. Xiao Jinzi is studying and secretly imitating the air cooler installation skills of the short-haired brother. In his spare time, Ma Tao led Su Lanxi and the two of them looked at other parts and equipment sold in the store.
In addition to the PAG40 (simple armor pack) and fax device, there are also two types of equipment for sale here, namely a screen protector up to 4000G and an air fan up to 1075G.
Ma Tao immediately became interested in the 4000G screen protector.
After reading the function introduction and introduction, I realized that this thing is used to resist the impact of electromagnetic waves, and electromagnetic waves will mainly damage the electronic system of the tank, including C device, nuclear power engine, etc. However, Ma Tao has never encountered such a situation. Noah's monster that emits electromagnetic waves.
As for the fan, its full name is the vehicle's internal air circulation filtration system, which can circulate and filter the air in the car, specifically to deal with monsters that release toxic gases and hypnotic gases.
"They are all good things!"
Ma Tao took a deep breath. He was really envious of those guys equipped with these things.
"In the future, our tanks will also have them."
Su Lanxi stretched out his hand, covered Ma Tao's big hand and said.
"I believe it because there are air coolers now."
Ma Tao held her palm with his backhand and said.
Only in Su Lanxi can Ma Tao feel this kind of relaxed mood, as if the world is colorful with her around.
"Let's go and have a look at the other side."
Su Lanxi smiled and pulled Ma Tao away.
"Wait for me! I'll go too"
Xiao Jinzi seemed to be able to listen to anything related to tanks. He stopped watching the short-haired brother install the air cooler and volunteered to follow him.
Anyway, it wasn't too far away. When I came out, I arrived at the chariot equipment store. Here was also a man in his thirties, with an authentic Chinese character face and wearing a big red vest.
Maybe this Chinese-character face had already noticed the three Ma Tao people who were going to the opposite side. When he saw the three of them coming over, he quickly stood up from his chair.
Those who are in the business of tank parts and weapons have no repeat customers. They are all one-time sales, because no customer will buy the same equipment and leave it idle. Therefore, keeping an eye on all directions and listening to all directions is very important in their industry. , for possible business, you can’t miss it.
"You guys, do you want to buy a main gun or a secondary gun, or an engine?"
Before Ma Tao and the others came in, the red vest spoke first, trotted out, and came out to greet Ma Tao and the others.
Ma Tao was a little flattered by such a warm reception. After all, he was short of money now. He only had 300G left. I'm afraid, he really couldn't buy anything. Moreover, he would have to replenish armor pieces later. This money could no longer be spent randomly. Incredible.
"Boss, can we take a look first?"
Su Lanxi knew Ma Tao well. When he saw that Ma Tao was no longer as relaxed as usual, he knew that he must be acting like this because he had no money.
"ah?"
The red vest in front of him was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his neck to look at the two tanks over there where air conditioners were being installed. Being astute, he immediately understood what this girl with a veil and a gentle tone meant.
"Look! It's okay! Watch as you like! It doesn't cost anything to watch."
The red vest said and handed the product introduction device in his hand to Ma Tao in the middle.
Ma Tao thanked him, reached out to take it, and looked through it carefully. Xiao Jinzi next to him also stretched his neck and looked at it.
"Don't stand there, there are stools in the room"
The man with the Chinese character in the red vest then invited.
"Boss is too polite. It's okay. We just stand here."
Su Lanxi responded with a smile.
"Come on, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it. It's such a hot day. Come in and drink some water."
As the red vest spoke, he turned around and went back inside, took out a few water glasses, and poured three glasses of water for Ma Tao and the others.
"Thanks"
The three of them thanked him again. It was hard to refuse such a hospitable boss. Ma Tao quickly took the water glass.
"Brother Tao, look"
Xiao Jinzi suddenly pointed at the product introduction device.
"I saw"
Ma Tao answered.
What Xiao Jinzi is referring to is a C device called Nick, worth 2000G. From this price, we can know that compared to HAL900, both its response speed and computing power are qualitative improvements. When we meet the investigation again Noah's minions, such as Die, who are extremely fast, also have the ability to resist. This thing, for them now, can be said to be the most needed equipment at this time.
In addition, there are 95mm guns and 105mm cannons here, and SE weapons are also sold here. However, for some reason, the prices of SE equipment here are not high.
To be honest, Ma Tao didn't even want to read it, because he wanted to buy everything he saw, but he couldn't afford anything, and it made his heart itch so much.
“The air cooler is ready!!”
At this moment, a greeting from the short-haired brother came from behind.
"immediately"
Ma Tao agreed, returned the product introduction instrument in his hand to the red vest, thanked him and hurried back, dragging Xiao Jinzi who was still full of emotions.
"What's wrong? I've been watching for a while to see what else there is, but I haven't seen enough..."
Xiao Jinzi was dragged by Ma Tao, but his eyes were still fixed on the introduction device and he couldn't take it back.
"Don't look at it, you can't afford it"
In one sentence, Ma Tao brought Xiao Jinzi back from fantasy to reality.
After paying G for the air cooler, Ma Tao drove the chariot and carried Su Lanxi straight to the chariot supply point, followed closely by the jeep behind him.
"What did you sell?"
After the two tanks drove away, the short-haired guy from the parts store came out and leaned against the door, looking at the red vest in the equipment store opposite and asked.
"What can I sell in this moment? Nothing is sold."
The red vest sat back on the chair again, picked up a fan, closed his eyes, and shook it while talking.
"Then you are not wasting your breath."
The short-haired brother smiled.
"How can you say it was in vain? Let's not talk about the tank, let's talk about the jeep. Although I haven't drilled it yet, if I drill it in the future, I will at least buy a main gun from me. This is called foresight. "
The red vest replied nonchalantly.
The short-haired brother looked at him shaking his broken fan and opened his mouth with a smile, "Stop shaking your broken fan. Otherwise, I will install an air conditioner for you. It will be more comfortable."
"If you want it free, I'll press it."
The red vest opened his eyes, glanced at the short-haired brother and answered.
"That's impossible!"
The short-haired guy refused outright, but after thinking about it, he said, "What do you think I can give you a 10% discount?"
"No need, I get cold easily if I blow cold wind, it's better to use a fan."
The red vest said lazily and closed his eyes again.
The short-haired brother shook his head when he saw him like this, and ignored him and returned to his store.
After replenishing the armor plates and ammunition for the two tanks, only 200G was left out of the 300G. Moreover, there were many people coming to replenish the tanks, and it was extremely popular. When Ma Tao and the others came in, there were five or six tanks lined up in front, thinking that anyway Not in a hurry, I left these two chariots here and waited to pick them up again tomorrow morning when they were full.
After explaining it to the person in charge of management, the three people set up the chariot and left the chariot.
"I once repaired a car for that villain named Marshall. At that time, he was not yet the head of the bounty business. His car...how should I say it, was a bit strange."
On their way out, they needed to pass by a chariot repair shop. The conversation between several repairmen who were chatting together stopped Ma Tao who was about to go out.
"Wait a moment"
Ma Tao stretched out his hand and looked at the chattering repairmen.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Jinzi asked suspiciously when he saw Ma Tao staring at the car repair technicians and not leaving.
"Don't talk yet"
Ma Tao told him softly.
"Chariot, what's weird about it?"
asked one of the mechanical mechanics, B, who was sitting next to the repair bed.
"His car is not a chariot at all, but a modified car. I have never been inside. Judging from the appearance, the original car seems to have been modified from an ambulance."
Mechanical repairman A, who spoke before, thought about his answer.
"Modified car? Or ambulance? So unique?"
Mechanical mechanic C frowned, still unable to fuse the two cars together.
"So I said, that car is weird."
Mechanical repairman A said again.
"It's time to work, it's time to work!"
At this time, another mechanic came and knocked on the iron frame next to him with the wrench in his hand, making two loud bangs. The three resting mechanical repairmen quickly got up. At the same time, a crawler structure The heavy truck slowly drove in with a harsh sound of metal friction.
"What's wrong?"
"On the road, a bomb turtle blew up the chassis. I hit my back and it broke all of a sudden."
"Drink! This is leaking oil."
"…………"
The people at the tank repair shop were busy getting the heavy truck, and Ma Tao knew that it was impossible to hear anything.
"Let's go"
Ma Tao said after looking at Xiao Jinzi and Su Lanxi on both sides.
"This Marshall is really weird. He got an ambulance, and it's red and pink and he can drive it. Could it be that that guy is a transvestite, or maybe he's gay?"
After Xiao Jinzi said it, he laughed.
"Didn't you see the bounty notice? The guy in the photo was just wearing a pair of underpants. Maybe that's what you said."
Ma Tao teased him.
"What is GAY?"
Su Lanxi asked curiously with wide eyes.
"Ask Du Niang"
Ma Tao answered subconsciously.
"Who is Du Niang?"
Su Lanxi was even more confused.
"Du Niang... C device! It's C device for Du Niang, that's right."
There is no Internet in this world, and no one knows about Du Niang. Ma Tao also came up with a C device similar to Du Niang in desperation.
"Why didn't I know there was a C-device like Du Niang? Are there no textbooks or tank guides?"
Xiao Jinzi asked again.
Just after dealing with the curious baby Su Lanxi, another more annoying one came. Ma Tao was so angry that he rolled his eyes, looked at him with murderous eyes and said, "Please stop talking..."
There was no delay in going to the abandoned hospital. The main reason was that he had no money and had to make money. It was inevitable to leave Rock for the time being.
After leaving the chariot supply point, Xiao Jinzi went back first. In order to have a good rest, Ma Tao did not take up too much of Su Lanxi's time. She was sleeping with Gao Han now. As soon as the sun set, Ma Tao and Su Lanxi returned to the hotel.
Outside the door of the Bamboo room, Su Lanxi looked at Ma Tao's back going upstairs alone, feeling depressed for a while, sighing softly, and gently opened the door with the key.
Gao Han was not in the house, so the eldest brother-in-law must have gone to the bar next door.
During this time, she would sneak into the bar opposite whenever she had free time, sometimes for a while, sometimes, there was no time...
When it comes to drinking, Gao Han is a woman who has never been afraid of anyone. She has a good capacity for drinking, but she is also very cautious. When she is alone, she only drinks from the bottle, and it comes from a glass bottle. Even with a cup, She also opened it and poured it by herself. The first cup must be toasted to the ground (actually it was to rinse the cup). She was not even a little better than Ma Tao in this regard. Otherwise, in Odo, she would have long been reduced to someone else's. Plaything.
After going up to the second floor, Ma Tao really didn't know how to deal with the two women in the room. He had no choice but to go in if he didn't want to. He couldn't run to squeeze in with Su Lanxi. After all, there was Gao Han, and he couldn't go to Xiao Jinzi's place. , they are a couple.
"Good evening sir, I wish you a sweet dream"
The servant at the door bowed and saluted respectfully.
Ma Tao was very poor now, and he didn't want to tip anything, so he opened the door and entered the house directly.
"you are back"
Ma Tao was startled as soon as he walked in. Zhao Tian was sitting on the sofa alone, obviously waiting for Ma Tao.
"Well, where is Chen Meng?"
Ma Tao lowered his head and changed his slippers at the door, and asked casually.
"She's in there, probably asleep again."
Zhao Tian stood up from the sofa, walked to Ma Tao, and reached out to help Ma Tao take off his clothes.
"I...I'll do it myself"
Ma Tao wanted to refuse.
"Why do you want to meet me outside?"
Zhao Tian asked softly.
Ma Tao didn't say anything, thinking that he just wanted to take off some clothes, so he let her do it.
"Zhao Tian, I want to discuss something with you."
Taking off his shirt, Ma Tao put on a pair of pajamas.
"Just tell me if you have anything to do. Why are you so polite to me?"
Zhao Tian knelt down to help Ma Tao unbuckle his belt, but Ma Tao was so frightened that he quickly covered it.
"What's wrong?"
Raising his head, Zhao Tian looked at Ma Tao with a smile.
"Um... I'll leave tomorrow. I need to conserve my energy."
Ma Tao clicked his tongue and answered.
To be honest, Zhao Tian's posture at this moment, coupled with her gentle words, it is impossible not to be tempting, but Ma Tao doesn't want to do that kind of thing, mainly because he doesn't want to regret Su Lanxi, even though he has been with Su Lanxi The woman in front of him had sex before, but subconsciously Ma Tao still didn't want to do that.
"puff!"
Zhao Tian burst out laughing, stretched out her hand and hit Ma Tao lightly, "Then you're not going to change into pajamas yet?"
