In a small forest behind Naduo Village, the panting Ma Tao finally caught up with his father.
"Dad...you...how on earth did you know the chassis of my chariot..."
Ma Tao, who was running out of breath, saw that his father finally stopped, and hurriedly panted and ran to a place one or two meters behind his father and stopped to ask.
"What's the girl's name?"
Dad didn't answer his question, but asked a question.
"ah???"
Ma Tao bowed his waist and supported his almost overstretched body with both hands. He was stunned by his father's meaningless question. After thinking about it, since he asked, he would simply tell him, so he said, " Her name is Su Lanxi"
The father looked back at his son and said nothing.
"Dad, you haven't told me how you know the chassis of my car."
The short rest allowed Ma Tao's physical strength to recover a lot, and it became less strenuous to speak.
"Do you want to know?"
Dad's eyes flickered a little, but when Ma Tao saw clearly, he realized that they were actually tears!
How can this be!
In Matao, no! In Xiao V's memory, although the somewhat buried middle-aged man in front of him has no ability or ability, he is definitely a competent father and a pure man, because this man has never shed a tear, but Today, Ma Tao can say with certainty that he actually saw this man crying.
"you……"
Ma Tao stared at the two tears that were still stubbornly not shed in his father's eyes, and became a little incoherent again.
"Come with me if you want."
The father ignored him. After saying this, he turned around and sprinted towards the east end of the village again. This time he didn't even look back, not caring whether Ma Tao could keep up. .
Isn't it?
Again!
Ma Tao's face was full of bitterness, and his legs were as if they were filled with lead. He saw that his father was running further and further away, and he was afraid that he would disappear after a while. With his father's stubborn character, he missed it. After today, he was afraid that he would never be able to find out the reason. At that moment, Ma Tao gritted his teeth, opened his legs and ran wildly again.
Naduo Village may not be big, but it is not small at all. After all, there are more than two thousand people living in it. After this trip, the father and son almost ran around Naduo Village. The more Ma Tao ran, the more he became confused. I was frightened, and the more I ran, the more doubts I had in my mind.
After all, the dad in front of me is a middle-aged uncle who is over half a century old. How can he have better physical strength than a young man like me? This is not common sense at all.
Thinking that he couldn't outrun a middle-aged man in his fifties, Ma Tao also lost his temper. He didn't care about that at the moment. He stepped hard and ran with all his life, but the father in front of him was always beside him. The distance of more than twenty meters in front became a chasm. The more Ma Tao tried to surpass it, the more he could not surpass it. This was strange.
Finally, Dad stopped running. Ma Tao, who was as tired as a dog, almost stuck out his tongue. He felt like his lungs were going to explode. It was painful and uncomfortable, and he couldn't breathe. His whole body He threw himself on the grass beside him and fell to the ground without wanting to move.
"If you are still a qualified warrior, you should not lie down."
The dad in front still didn't look back, but he seemed to be able to see every move of Ma Tao behind him and knew it immediately.
"I... no one knows whether I am a warrior or not, huh? Where is this?"
Ma Tao forced himself to sit up, looking for a more comfortable place to lean on. Looking around, he suddenly found that he was surrounded by little dirtbags.
"she knows……"
Dad still ignored him, but stretched out his hand and touched a piece of wood standing beside him, as if touching an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, his movements were gentle and gentle.
It was a piece of rotten wood that looked very worn out. It had been split in the middle. It was round and thick, and the surface had turned black. Some fonts could still be vaguely seen in the middle, and they were standing like this. There is still a lot of rotten wood.
Ma Tao blinked his eyes, rubbed them again, and then he saw clearly where the rotten wood was. It was clearly a simple tombstone made of wooden stakes. When he looked closely, he saw that he was surrounded by In a cemetery, the small bulging earthen bags are exactly the graves, and there are tombstones erected in front of them. However, these are obviously scattered graves, and the grass on many graves is as tall as one person.
At this time, Ma Tao clearly remembered that they should still be in those villages, but the cemetery in front of him was also something that was not in Xiao V's memory. This showed that the place was either a holy land, or it was a particularly remote place.
"This...here is..."
Suddenly seeing so many lonely graves, Ma Tao still felt a little unnatural even in the daytime. Thinking that he was sitting around these graves, he subconsciously stood up.
"She knows everything about you."
Dad reached out and wiped away the two tears that had never fallen from the corners of his eyes. He stroked the dark wooden monument in front of him and his name could not be seen. He actually leaned down and hugged the piece of wood.
Ma Tao was stunned. His father was so crazy that he hugged a tombstone and refused to let go.
"I came to see you...are you...ok..."
It sounds incredible to say such soft and gentle words from my father's mouth, but this is reality.
Ma Tao's eyes immediately tightened, and he subconsciously looked at the rotten wooden piles around him, trying to identify the handwriting on them. However, it was a pity that due to the passage of time and age, it was difficult for these precious handwritings to be recovered. People can see clearly.
"The war between humans and Noah has never stopped for a day. For the sake of revolution and freedom, humans are constantly fighting against Noah. The dead are like the ancient crossing of Huangsha, but the living people have death in their hearts. You brat, you know Why did I stop you from becoming a bounty hunter in the first place?"
Dad hugged the rotten wood and spoke word by word. Ma Tao knew that he was speaking for his own ears. Of course, there was no one else here.
"Why?"
Ma Tao thought for a while, but didn't find any relevant answer in Xiao V's memory, so he answered.
"Because I don't want to lose you, let alone go against your mother's last words. Son, you are my father's life. If you are gone, I will have no meaning in living. You are my only and everything, so I I tried my best to prevent you from embarking on this road that no one has ever succeeded in, but you still embarked on this road, embarked on this never-ending road that I have walked long ago, and you have gone further and further. , ever since I just heard you talking to me about that girl, I know that you can't look back, and I made a mistake after all."
After finishing speaking, my father burst into tears, and his originally strong cheeks became full of wrinkles, and in an instant, he looked much haggard.
"Have I walked the same path you have walked?"
Ma Tao repeated his father's words, and then suddenly realized the meaning of this sentence. The surprise on his face was definitely not pretending, but real surprise.
"The original owner of my Tiger light tank... was you..."
Ma Tao's voice already had a vibrato.
"Because the original owner chose to retire and deleted all the information on this C device, there is no comment.
"This tank has been dormant for nearly thirty years. This tank uses a very stable micro-nuclear fuel reaction device..."
Recalling the information given by Device C when he obtained this tank and combat vehicle, and combining it with his father's words today, it was not difficult for Ma Tao to guess this result.
"That secret base hidden in the mountains is also yours, right?"
There was a hint of disbelief in Ma Tao's voice.
"No, that base in the mountain existed a long time ago. It was just discovered by me accidentally. I personally hid the chariot in the cave in the southern mountain. I thought I could remain anonymous from now on and raise you well. Da, I lived my whole life peacefully. I didn’t expect that people are not as good as God. The news about the chariot hidden in the cave spread out for some reason. What I didn’t expect was that you could actually hide this chariot. The chariot was found”
Ma Tao's father turned around and glanced at him. He didn't know whether this look was helpless or gratifying.
"I almost died in there"
Ma Tao stared at his father and only said this sentence.
"The war dog thing was an accident. I really didn't expect you to find that place. I went there later and saw the mess in the secret room. I was very shocked. The chariot was also gone. , I was very confused at the time, thinking that you were in some kind of danger, and I was completely devastated. But then you returned to the village safely, and I saw that you were safe and sound, and I was completely relieved."
Dad sighed, his tone full of regret and apology.
"Are you still going to stop me now?"
Ma Tao didn't mean to blame him, but he just felt it was a little late to know now.
"Can I still stop it?"
Dad asked him back.
Ma Tao didn't say anything because he really didn't know how to answer this question. At this moment, his mind was in chaos. So much information needed to be digested by his brain before it could be accepted, but this took time.
At this time, the father once again turned his eyes to the wooden tablet in his arms. An indescribable tenderness appeared in his eyes, and he whispered softly, "You see, this boy has grown up and is better than me." I was still stubborn at that time.”
After hearing these words, no matter how stupid Ma Tao was, he could understand who the person buried in the wooden stele in his father's arms and the short grave in front of him was.
In this deserted grave is definitely the woman in the yellowed photo in the house, that is, Little V's mother.
At this moment, there was a noise behind him, and Ma Tao turned around. The person who came was his sister. He saw his sister standing beside him very calmly. Her eyes were so natural, and there was no look of surprise on Ma Tao's face now. .
"You've known for a long time, right? You've known for a long time that my chariot belongs to my father, right?"
Even the sister who cared about him the most was hiding it from him. Ma Tao was very angry, a kind of anger at being deceived. He stood up angrily and looked at his sister standing beside him. Seeing that her sister actually nodded this time, he was about to vent again. While his heart was filled with anger, Ma Tao's expression was stunned.
"No, the time is wrong. The chariot has been sleeping for nearly thirty years. You should not have been born yet at that time. It is impossible for you to know this? Could it be? Did your father tell you!"
Ma Tao looked at his father in shock. He didn't understand why his father told his sister but not himself. His mind became even more confused. Everything seemed reasonable, but this unreasonable and contradictory question was also The whole thing couldn't withstand scrutiny at all. Suddenly, Ma Tao thought of a possibility, a possibility that made everything reasonable. Only this possibility could explain why Tong was the only one who was concealed, and why everyone was hiding. Cheating little V.
"Am I...really your son?"
Ma Tao asked this question to his father.
That's right, there is only one reason that can make Ma Tao think clearly why his father and sister want to protect themselves so much. Only people who feel guilty about themselves would do this, because it is like this in TV dramas. , adopted children often receive more love and care than real children.
"Little V, you are my father's only son. This is true."
The look in his father's eyes told Ma Tao that he had guessed wrong again.
"Then what is not true? What the hell is going on!!!"
At this time, Ma Tao almost collapsed. This incident really had nothing to do with the real Ma Tao, but for some reason, Ma Tao just wanted to know the whole story. His body kept trying to explode uncontrollably, and he couldn't stop it. I can't stop it, let alone restrain it. Maybe it's Xiao V who really wants to know the reason.
The father pointed at his sister standing next to him again, "She is actually...not your sister...but...but..."
At this point, Dad couldn't talk any more. His hands dropped, his head turned, and his face looked elsewhere.
My sister is not my sister?
Is it my sister who is fake?
Ma Tao glanced at his sister who was still calm next to him. Her eyes were like a pool of water, with no fluctuation at all. She had obviously known her identity for a long time, and there was no difference or surprise in the comparison.
"Let me tell him"
At this time, my sister finally spoke.
Immediately afterwards, my sister turned around, faced Ma Tao, and showed a smile that Ma Tao had seen for more than 20 years. It was still so gentle and caring. But then, an extremely shocking scene appeared. If it weren't for Ma Tao saw it with his own eyes, and he simply doubted everything he saw.
I saw that my sister, who was still smiling and looking at Ma Tao, had a series of incredible changes.
First, the dirty clothes that his sister was wearing fell to the ground. Ma Tao was startled, thinking not to look at anything inappropriate, and was about to cover his eyes with his hands. Before he could raise his hands, Ma Tao's His mouth was already open enough to fit an egg in, and his eyes were wide open.
The sister who took off her clothes did not show any embarrassment or unnaturalness, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about, because what was supposed to be hidden in the clothes was not a female body at all, but a metal shell, but the appearance was still based on the female body. The body is made of curves.
This was not over yet. What surprised Ma Tao even more was that the sister with a steel body deformed all her limbs in front of Ma Tao. Her hands and feet turned into wheels, and then just like that, on Ma Tao In front of Tao's eyes was a motorcycle with its face and body facing upwards. Ma Tao was so stunned that he almost said "wtf" to describe it.
"She is a robot specially made by your mother to protect you before she died. She has the most advanced processor and nuclear energy chip and has self-healing metal protection. She is the last guardian in the world."
Dad looked at Sister Ma Tao, who had transformed into a motorcycle, and sighed.
"What are you thinking about? Come up."
Like a fool, he walked to the motorcycle that his sister had transformed into. Seeing that where the dashboard was supposed to be, there was now his sister's gentle, caring face, and he could also look at himself and speak. Ma Tao swallowed a gulp. He vomited and took two steps back.
Damn, this world is so crazy! Thinking that he would have to ride his sister to race cars and go to the battlefield in the future, Ma Tao couldn't accept it anyway. He was shocked and sat down on the ground. He didn't know which eldest brother's grave he was pressing on. On top of the pile, he didn't know him anyway, and he didn't want to know either.
"She is the only relic left by your mother to you. You must remember your mother's name, Morris. Your mother is not only an excellent mechanical technician but also a great scientist. Her research in the field of machinery has been It has reached a state that can be called a miracle, but in the end, it still cannot escape Noah's pursuit. Human beings are so vulnerable in front of Noah."
His father's words echoed in his ears, adding to the confusion in Ma Tao's already confused mind. His almost overloaded brain cells became a little underused, and almost a million died in an instant. .
"Killed by Noah? Morris? Guardian?"
Ma Tao lowered his head, and his mouth was like a repeater, repeating these words that could barely leave a deep memory on him.
"At that time, I was also a stupid boy who was not afraid of anything. I thought I was blessed with luck and drove my own chariot. Later, I met your mother Morris, who was being plundered by Palu. The hunter was chasing her, and I rescued her. The love between your mother and I began at that time. I was very brave and fierce at that time, and almost no bounty hunter was my opponent. The rest of my life was spent hunting. Your mother continued to engage in scientific research, and then we had you. That time was the happiest time I have ever experienced in my life, because your mother's research projects became more and more advanced, and we caused the host Noah's Attention, a lot of predators came, and there was an existence that I couldn't match at all. Only then did I know how powerful Noah was, and I also knew that I was isolated and ignorant, and I also understood the truth that there are people outside the world. "Zhan, your mother was seriously injured and has never recovered."
The father looked at the wooden inscription in his arms and recalled the memory that he had sealed away for many years. Tears fell from his eyes, and one drop after another fell on the dark brown rotten wood and disappeared.
"Then what?"
Ma Tao knew that his father had not finished speaking, otherwise his family would not have been able to come to Naduo Village. Something else must have happened.
The father in front of him showed a look of remorse and remorse. He wanted to cover up the tears that kept falling with his hands, but the hot tears flowing from his eyes couldn't be stopped at all.
"In order to escape Noah's pursuit, I took your seriously injured mother and only had time to take away the most important research results before I had to leave. Along the way, we were isolated and helpless. We couldn't even fire a single shell. There was no one at all. Help us, they even want to get something useful to them from our hands. Seeing us in such a mess, they are all ready to tear us apart like wolves smelling the fishy smell, devouring us even to the dregs. If it hadn't been for those guys, your mother's injury wouldn't have been aggravated and eventually became a chronic disease. Your mother also used the research results we brought out at that time, that is, memory metal, to create your sister, which was almost exhausted. Her whole life, at that time, I hated the world and myself, but looking at you as an infant, I hesitated again. Just like that, I buried your mother and took you to drive the chariot to continue. Escape, until we escaped here, we completely surrendered to Noah's minions. It was the paradise-like Naduo village that took us in. In order not to bring misfortune and destruction to this peaceful mountain village, I chose to seal the chariot forever. , and then completely retired. It was not until your decision some time ago that I once again remembered that I was once a great warrior and a ridiculous glory hunter."
After saying this, the father, whose face was a little twitching, seemed to have untied a heavy burden from his body. He breathed a complete sigh of relief, and at the same time, he slowly stretched out a hand like Ma Tao and spread his fingers. There was a silver light inside. The shining badge is a silver badge of glory.
"What's going on with the two robots at home?"
Ma Tao just glanced at the silver badge of honor and didn't pay much attention to it.
"They are my weapons and shields, part of me."
At some point, my sister, who had returned to human form, was putting on her dirty clothes.
Although his sister was a robot, she was still a female robot. Ma Tao was still a little embarrassed and turned around subconsciously.
"One is an energy shield and the other is an electromagnetic gun."
The elder sister, who had already dressed, stood beside the father and son again, looking the same as before.
Ma Tao hummed and nodded.
Knowing what happened, Ma Tao didn't feel anything special, no anger, no sadness, nothing at all, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. He looked at his sister who was still so gentle, and then He glanced at his father in front of him, turned around like a zombie, and walked toward Naduo Village behind him.
"Son, where are you going?"
Dad was stunned for a moment, and wanted to get up to try to stay, but the hand he raised fell down weakly.
"You shouldn't ignore your father. He is not wrong."
My sister actually followed me and then extended her hand.
