"But that time I was kicked out, and it was quite embarrassing."
Recalling his own past, Sickle was not afraid of Ma Tao laughing at him, but laughed at himself and said it.
Ma Tao turned to look at him and saw that he didn't continue and didn't ask why.
After all, this kind of thing is not a glorious thing. It is his freedom to talk about it or not. Presumably, Sickle's experience is definitely not as simple as what he said, so he doesn't want to mention it more. Ma Tao is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things. people.
This is understandable. In this world, tanks are the most private to anyone, especially the inside of tanks. Most people value tanks even more than their own women. After all, you Having one chariot means having countless women. On the contrary, you only have one woman, but you don't necessarily have countless chariots. It is even more miserable when you encounter a woman who will follow others at any time.
The problem of drinking water has been solved for the time being, and there is still enough food. There will be no need to worry about the convoy's journey in a short period of time. The occasional hunt for some of Noah's minions can ease the boring journey.
When driving long distances, Xiao Jinzi’s car No. 2 showed perfect enjoyment. Previously in Seoul, this guy privately installed a set of speakers in Car No. 2. Listening to music all the way was as enjoyable as Ma Tao and Gao Han. It’s much more exciting. Regarding the audio matter, Ma Tao always wants to get a set for his own car and Gao Han’s minibus, but he always forgets it in the back of his head and can’t think of it at all until he is on the road again. Then he beat his chest and sighed.
After a short rest at noon, the convoy continued to set off. According to Sickle, judging from the driving speed at this time, they would be able to reach the black market at ten minutes after sunset. They were finally going to the place. Everyone's heart was more or less There was still a little excitement, and the boring mood was relieved a lot by this news.
At three or four o'clock, the convoy drove through the southern mountains, and then drove on the grassland for almost twenty or thirty miles. Suddenly, a large and continuous forest appeared in front of them.
"We're almost there. If we go a little further north along this forest, there should be a poplar forest."
Through the display screen in the car, Xiandaozai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, carefully distinguished it for a while and said.
"To the north?"
Ma Tao turned the helm, the tank and chariot drew a slight arc, and started to drive north along the edge of the forest.
"Hey, Brother Dao, this forest is so big, what place is over there?"
Glancing at the boundless virgin forest on the left side of the motorcade, Ma Tao asked casually.
"To be honest, you really asked me about this."
Sickle thought for a while, and there was really no record or information about the other side of this forest in his mind, and then continued, "You have seen how large this forest is. For these towering trees, it is not enough to say anything." It has a history of hundreds of years, and the Shura Palace black market has only been around for a few decades. To be honest, I have never heard of anyone who has passed through this forest and reached the other side of the forest in the past thirty years."
"None of them? Are there some scary monsters in the woods?"
Ma Tao was curious and asked.
"That's not the case. In fact, it is rare to encounter Noah's monster in a big forest like this. After all, Noah will not send his minions to such desolate places to eliminate human beings. Black markets such as Shura Palace are precisely because of this. This is why we choose to build in the forest.”
Sickle shook his head.
"Since there is no danger, why hasn't anyone gone there? Isn't it very safe to walk in the forest?"
That's what Ma Tao said, and what he thought in his heart.
Sickle showed a wry smile, sighed, and said, "If you think that the forest is safe just because there are no monsters in the forest, then you are totally wrong. Countless poisonous insects, rats, and ants can put people in danger." On the verge of collapse, plus the big trees blocking the sky will definitely make it difficult for you to distinguish north from south. Coupled with the extremely soft ground covered by fallen leaves under your feet, it will consume a lot of your energy, even with hundreds of teammates. You can easily get trapped and die in the forest."
Ma Tao has nothing to say. These three points may sound inconspicuous, but the seriousness is definitely top-notch. You may not feel anything at first, but over time, a person's energy, physical strength, and combat effectiveness will all be consumed. Er Jing, by then, the only way waiting is death.
"Now you understand, the terror and danger in the virgin forest are far more dangerous than the desert and swamp. The kind of death that makes people feel nothing is often too late when you realize it. Your thoughts are not without people. I thought about it, but none of the warriors who entered the primeval forest could come back. They all fell down somewhere among these towering trees, slowly turning into withered bones and being buried by fallen leaves."
Seeing Ma Tao fall into silence, Sickle continued to add.
"My knowledge has really improved. I think things are simpler."
Ma Tao nodded, feeling a little in awe of those warriors who dared to challenge death. Anyway, Ma Tao would not do such a thing, which seemed to be the same as committing suicide.
The route commanded by Sickle was correct. Not long after the convoy moved towards the north, a leafy poplar forest appeared in everyone's sight.
"Here we are"
Seeing this poplar forest, Sickle smiled, and even the flesh on his face gathered together.
Ma Tao stared at the poplar forest in confusion for a while, but did not find any passage or entrance for entry. He turned to look at the sickle and asked tentatively, "Brother Dao, it's not that I don't believe you. Are you sure you got it right?" ?There is no way out."
"hehe"
Sickle grinned first, then reached out and patted his chest and said, "Brother Ma, don't worry, do you see the two special cypress trees over there? That's the entrance in the middle."
As he spoke, Sickle pointed at a certain place in the poplar forest. Sure enough, there were two different trees growing there. These two trees were incompatible with the surrounding poplar trees. Although they were about ten meters apart, they were still there. Ma Tao could see clearly that there were trees in the middle, and there was no way for cars to pass through. How could this be the entrance? But the strange thing was that there was an open space with no grass growing between the two cypress trees. If he looked carefully, he saw that there were strips of grass all around. The ditches are all marked by various ruts.
While Ma Tao was puzzled, the answer was revealed. The forest between the two cypress trees suddenly began to have circles of ripples, shaking like water. It seemed as if the space was being distorted.
"This is!"
Ma Tao's brows twitched and his heart moved. He had already experienced this familiar scene.
“Virtual projection!!!”
After saying these four words softly, Ma Tao immediately smiled.
I almost forgot that this place is controlled by the Black Mamba. Ma Tao has already experienced this mysterious business organization. From this point of view, it is not surprising that the virtual projection technology that he has seen before appears in front of him.
As the corrugated space between the two cypress trees swayed, a gray-yellow land combat light tank rushed out from inside. Then, another tank of the same color model appeared again, and then a third one. , the fourth one. It was not until six identical light tanks drove out one after another that the ripples in the distorted space returned to calm.
A total of six light tanks didn't stop after they came out. One after another, they headed straight for the northern grasslands. Regardless of the speed, distance or steering angle, they almost all answered the same question. It looked like they were Just like a regular army, they are extremely neat and tidy. When paired with tanks of the same model and color, it can be said that they are absolutely powerful in terms of momentum and combat effectiveness.
Watching these six chariots driven by one person fading away, Ma Tao's eyes tightened. With such a size and discipline, it was the most powerful team Ma Tao had ever seen so far, even if he and them There is no guarantee of winning in the battle, only running away.
"What do this group of people do? They are so awesome, they can actually own six identical tanks. Have they strengthened the military factory or something?"
In the watch, Xiao Jinzi's tone was full of envy and jealousy, and anyone could hear the unhappiness in this kid's heart.
Ma Tao didn't speak but looked at Sickle sitting in the co-pilot. The expression on this guy's face was full of caution from the moment he saw the first gray-yellow light tank, and there was actually a trace of it in his eyes. Silk's fear and hatred are inside.
"They are a headhunting group, just a bunch of fuckers. They specialize in selling the most sought-after things on the black market. Whatever these guys like, you have to sell it whether you want to or not."
Xiao Jinzi spoke loudly in the watch, and the co-pilot's sickle could naturally hear it, and he also saw Ma Tao looking at him, waiting for his answer.
"They're just a group of bandits. Where did these guys' chariots come from? They're all the same."
Gao Han, who had been silent all the way, said coldly.
"Who knows? Not only are you curious about this question, everyone here is curious about it."
There was doubt in Sickle's eyes, and he continued, "The black market is not only a paradise for businessmen, but also a holy place for bandits to sell stolen goods. There must be a place to sell the things they robbed, so that they can survive."
After saying this, Sickle blinked, and his eyes with other emotions returned to calmness again. Obviously, he had suffered losses at the hands of these headhunters before he had such emotions.
"It's so abominable. Can no one take care of these guys?"
Xiao Jinzi couldn't listen anymore. This was simply not tolerated in Seoul. He had a righteous heart and said angrily.
"What? In this world, good people don't live long. If you can live a carefree life as a robber, why not do it? Besides, it's not easy to join a headhunting group and become a robber. Ordinary people don't want it, so every one of these guys fights They have rich experience, extremely fierce personalities, and there are so many people. It would be difficult to resist them..."
The sickles, who had long been accustomed to them, didn't care about Xiao Jinzi's angry words. After speaking, he looked at Ma Tao and said, "Now we can go in."
Ma Tao immediately started the chariot and drove towards the virtual projection.
"I really don't understand what these guys think. Why don't they fight monsters when they are so powerful? Instead of destroying Noah, they are searching for money here. They are worse than animals."
Xiao Jinzi vented again, and when the others in the watch were silent, they didn't say anything more.
Ma Tao's No. 1 car was the first to pass through this virtual projection. Because the three men with the sickle on the hood had all been here before, they were not afraid when they saw that the tank was about to collide violently with the big tree in front.
As if traveling through two time and space, the next second, the steel tracks of the 01 tank were crushed on the hard concrete ground.
In order to prevent the vehicle behind him from rushing in and rear-ending him, Ma Tao did not stop directly but drove forward for more than 20 meters, leaving enough space for cars 2 and 3. Soon, the jeep and car behind him Chinese and Pakistani ambulances followed one after another.
