The inability to contact Xiao Jinzi and the others is the most urgent thing at the moment. At first, Ma Tao thought there was a problem with his communication watch, but after checking, he found that there was no problem. The reason for this problem is that there may be some kind of strong magnetic field here. , it may be a meteorite, or it may be something else, but my sister did not find anything wrong with this place after self-examination. Obviously, the possibility of a strong magnetic field does not exist, which makes people a little confused. It happened to be discovered again. After seeing the appearance of two laser bugs, he left the area and planned to change places to check whether the communication function of the watch could return to normal.
My sister's transformed motorcycle carried Ma Tao and Su Lanyu towards the east for a while, but the watch was still unusable, and now Ma Tao panicked.
how so?
Could it be that something happened to them when they left? Or encountered something? What exactly is going on?
Looking at the gray pattern on his communication watch, Ma Tao felt as worried as if he was in boiling water.
"Who are you trying to contact?"
Su Lanyu looked at Ma Tao, who looked anxious, and asked.
Ma Tao turned his head and glanced at her. To be honest, with this face, Ma Tao really didn't have the courage to look at it twice. Ma Tao, who was always deliberately dodging when facing Su Lanyu, always had the feeling of facing Su Lanxi. It felt like this filled his heart with guilt, so he always wanted to drag Su Lanyu to talk about his regrets and longings, but Ma Tao knew very well that the person in front of him was not Su Lanxi but Su Lanyu. Although they can be said to be 95% similar in appearance, in terms of personality, Su Lanyu is not as gentle as Su Lanxi. She has a straightforward temper, a tough tone, and dares to love and hate in her heart.
If we use a metaphor, Su Lanxi is the gentle water, and Su Lanyu is the cold ice. The essence is the same.
"I am contacting my teammates. I have lost contact for a long time. I am very worried..."
After just a glance, Ma Tao quickly turned his head and continued to stare blankly at the watch in his hand, changing his attention.
"They all have tanks, so they shouldn't encounter any trouble that they can't solve."
My sister, who had returned to her human form, comforted Ma Tao.
My sister has no clothes, but the metal body of memory alloy is like an exquisite cheongsam, tightly wrapped around her body, with very concave and convex shapes.
"This is the truth, but I'm most afraid that if they can't contact us for a long time, they will think that we are in danger. If they go to Shura Hall to save me, or... they don't rush out at all..."
Ma Tao is only worried about these two reasons. With Xiao Jinzi's character, he will definitely do such impulsive things, but fortunately, Gao Han should not be so impulsive, but these are all things for later, Ma Tao The most worrying thing is whether they have left the Shura Palace black market. This is very important.
My sister didn't say anything anymore. Ma Tao said both possibilities were there, and they were still very high. She didn't know how to explain her comfort.
Su Lanyu was stunned for a moment when he heard what Sister Ma Tao said, then frowned and thought for a moment, "You said you have teammates? Is it a jeep and a pink car?"
"Have you seen them? Have they gone out?"
This time it was Ma Tao's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect Su Lanyu to have met Xiao Jinzi and Gao Han. This was quite surprising.
"I've seen it before, but I didn't have a chance to talk."
Su Lanyu nodded.
"That……"
Ma Tao suddenly didn't know what to ask.
Su Lanyu glanced at him and continued, "I knew he was going to kill you and chased him all the way. However, when I caught up with them, they had already rushed out of the virtual projection of Shura Hall. I thought you were among them. , and stopped the pursuing soldiers. If I remember correctly, there should be three vehicles in total, and they have all left the Shura Hall's sphere of influence."
"So... they all got out safely..."
Hearing what Su Lanyu said, Ma Tao felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as they got rid of the pursuing soldiers and relied on the advantages of the chariot, they should not encounter much danger outside, but he was still worried. I'm worried that Gao Han and the others will come back for their own sake, and end up in the tiger's mouth.
"you……"
The Ma Tao in front of him was careful, prudent, and even more concerned about his friends. He must be from two different worlds from the serious and profit-minded Ma Tao. Su Lanyu just wanted to ask him some questions, but just as he opened his red lips, suddenly, there was a violent tremor on the ground. It shook, and in an instant, a cloud of gray dust appeared in the air.
"What's going on? There's an earthquake!"
Under the violent shaking, Ma Tao lost his balance and fell to the ground. The area they were in was a vast grassland with open terrain. He felt that the ground was still shaking. Ma Tao simply sat there and planned to wait for the earthquake wave to pass. stand up.
Su Lanyu is much better than Ma Tao. After all, she is a martial arts practitioner. Her physical balance is very good and the demands on her body are higher. After the initial shaking, she has been able to adapt to the shaking caused by the earthquake.
"It's becoming more and more frequent. This has been five times by the end of this month?"
There was no awe for the power of nature on Ma Tao's face, replaced by a look of caution.
"What's the fifth time? Do you think earthquakes happen often in this place?"
Ma Tao, who was in a daze, felt something strange on his face when he heard Su Lanyu say this.
If earthquakes occur frequently in a place, it's likely because the location is located in a seismic zone.
The horrific consequences of earthquakes should not be underestimated. Houses collapsing are minor, and mountains and ground are broken. An earthquake can turn a prosperous town into ruins in a matter of seconds. In ancient times, this level of damage was Things are known as the wrath of gods and divine power. Of course, Ma Tao and the others are now in an open grassland. There is nothing tall except for some lonely big trees around them, so they don't have to worry about anything collapsing.
The violent earthquake lasted for nearly 3 minutes, and then gradually calmed down. When Ma Tao stood up, there was a layer of gray dust floating between the sky and the earth. I don't know where this dust came from, but it was choking anyway. It makes people want to cough, but there is good news, that is, Ma Tao's watch has finally restored its communication function.
Didi didi! ! !
Messages that he had not received before came one after another, which made Ma Tao, who was covering his mouth with his hand while breathing, immediately excited.
"The watch works! Hey! Hey! Cough cough cough!!"
With a face full of joy, Ma Tao also forgot about the dust in the sky. He turned on the watch link in excitement and took two big breaths. The dust around him couldn't help but cough violently.
"Ma Tao? Ma Tao, where are you? Can you, the captain, give me some peace of mind? Why do you think you are just turning on your watch now! Do you know how worried we are about you? Do you, the captain, still want to do it?"
As soon as the link was established, Gao Han complained and vented his anger from afar.
Although Gao Han's tone was full of annoyance, Ma Tao did not have any thoughts of anger. On the contrary, he felt very warm in his heart.
"Brother Tao! Where are you? Are you injured? Send us your location quickly so we can pick you up?"
Xiao Jinzi's voice came immediately, and Ma Tao suddenly remembered that this kid left his own rifle when he left. He couldn't help but look back and saw that the gun was still there, but it was a lot dirty while running for his life.
"Brother Tao, we have all been worried about you. Please give Xiao Jinzi a seat quickly. He was almost dying of anxiety before."
An Ruo's voice was still so soft, but it could be heard that she was also very happy that Ma Tao was okay.
"Ma Tao...thank you..."
This voice belongs to Uncle Guang. Although everything started because of Ma Tao, the fact that this young man in his early twenties could do what he did today has won the admiration of this middle-aged man. Whether it is considering the comprehensiveness of the matter or the final The determination to stay alone and contain him at all times has completely convinced this middle-aged uncle. The courage of Ma Tao to choose to take away the seriousness alone at the last moment is even more admirable. Not everyone has the courage. To challenge death, Ma Tao placed himself in the most dangerous position twice in a row, which fully illustrates this person's character and sense of responsibility. Such a person is reassuring and touching.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll send you my location now."
Until this moment, Ma Tao, who had experienced the aftermath of the disaster, finally felt relieved. With his spirit relaxed, even the choking air around him became much fresher. With excitement, Ma Tao put his The coordinate positioning was sent to their watches.
To be honest, Ma Tao had really made up his mind to die before he did that. He didn't expect that his sister helped him the first time, and Su Lanyu helped him the second time. The two experiences of escaping from death made him I have a lot of feelings and I have seen a lot of things.
After contacting Xiao Jinzi and the others, the next step is to wait quietly where they are.
With my sister here, there is no need to say more about being vigilant. Choosing the endless grassland is much safer than other places, because the open space means safety, and you can easily find the enemy when they find you, and Both sides are still far away, and there is enough time to make a decision whether it is to fight or to escape. However, such a landscape becomes very, very dangerous at night, because people's vision is really poor at night. It's cool, but many beasts, Noah's modified creatures, and even mechanical monsters are very sensitive at night.
The fluctuations in the air caused by the earthquake rose very quickly and fell very quickly. They all calmed down after more than ten minutes. The weeds on the grassland were covered with a layer of dust and looked gray. After experiencing this It is not surprising that the watch returned to normal after an earthquake. Ma Tao understood that when natural disasters are about to occur between heaven and earth, some strange omens often occur. Such omens may appear in the sky. It may appear on the ground, or it may appear in the water. For example, when an earthquake is about to happen, fish will often go out of the water of the fish tank, and ants will line up to move. Of course, Ma Tao and the others have no fish around them, and they have no time to go. Find where there are ants.
"By the way, when there was an earthquake just now, what did you say five times? Are earthquakes common here?"
While waiting, Ma Tao, who was sitting on the grass, suddenly remembered what Su Lanyu said during the previous earthquake and asked casually.
"Yes, this continent often experiences earthquakes of the magnitude just now, and I don't know why."
Su Lanyu was wiping her sword made of fine steel. She paused slightly when the cloth in her hand scratched the gap in the sword.
“So that’s how it is”
Ma Tao nodded and looked at the sharp sword she was wiping.
My sister doesn’t know Su Lanyu well, nor has she had much contact with her, so she is still a stranger to her system’s judgment of Su Lanyu. Her action of wiping the knife made her sister immediately alert, but because Su Lanyu didn’t have anything My sister didn't move aggressively.
"You... don't hate me?"
After a while, Ma Tao raised his head and looked at her.
"Why does she hate you? It's all her own choice."
Su Lanyu didn't even raise her head, and continued to wipe her notched sword.
Ma Tao was suddenly speechless. He had thought countless times before about what to say and what to explain when he met Su Lanyu. He even thought about what to do when Su Lanyu wanted to kill him, but now, it seemed that all his thoughts were in vain. .
"If you have time, can you take me to see the burial place of my sister?"
After wiping her tachi, Su Lanyu made a few tricks with the knife and made a few chopping movements. Then, her eyes slid to the gap on the blade again, and then she put the knife back.
"She...I didn't bury her..."
Ma Tao always felt a little awkward talking to Su Lanyu. The person in front of him looked so much like Su Lanxi.
"What?"
Su Lanyu was stunned for a moment, then turned around suddenly, his eyes spitting fire, he looked at Ma Tao angrily and said, "You didn't even bring back Lan Xi's body!!!"
"You may have misunderstood. Ma Tao kept your sister's body in a cryogenic device and sealed it. It is now hidden in our home and is being taken care of by our father. It is very safe."
My sister saw that Ma Tao always behaved like a mouse when faced with Su Lanyu, so she spoke for him.
"Cryogenic device?"
Su Lanyu looked at Ma Tao and his sister with a puzzled face on her beautiful face, wondering why she did this.
Su Lanyu naturally knew what a cryogenic device was. It was a sealed freezing chamber that could freeze corpses for temporary storage. However, he didn't understand what Ma Tao's purpose was for doing this. But one thing was OK, that is, Su Lanxi was in In the cryogenic device, if I want to see my sister, I can still see her face, which is also a kind of comfort.
"I want to save her"
Seeing the confusion on Su Lanyu's face, Ma Tao hesitated for a few seconds and finally decided to tell her.
"What did you say...save? Who to save?"
Su Lanyu was even more surprised that she could resurrect a dead person. Now she was wondering if Ma Tao had gone crazy because of her sister's death.
"Don't you think I'm crazy?"
Ma Tao saw the expression on her face, then laughed, and then said, "I don't know if you have heard of a thing called Regeneration Pill."
"Do you believe in such illusory things? It's just a legend. Resurrection from the dead. How is this possible!"
Su Lanyu stared at Ma Tao's eyes in disbelief, but found that Ma Tao's eyes were clear at this time, and there was no trace of madness in them, which made her even more confused.
"illusory?"
Ma Tao smiled, then laughed at himself, and when he looked up again, his face was filled with two drops of warm tears.
"To others, the Rebirth Pill is indeed a illusory thing, but to me it is real, and it must be real."
There was unparalleled determination in Ma Tao's eyes.
"But no one has ever found that thing, not even a legend."
Su Lanyu answered.
"That's because they didn't search thoroughly enough."
After Ma Tao retorted, he thought of something else. Looking at Su Lanyu's jade-like appearance, he said, "Do you know about ginseng medicine?"
"Of course I know. The ginseng potion is on the list of potions. The ginseng potion in the party, the soul, and the soul. It is a good thing that is hard to find. But it is a pity that it can no longer be found on the market now."
Su Lanyu didn't understand why Ma Tao suddenly mentioned such a thing.
"Can't you see it again? Let me tell you, I have a ginseng potion in my hand right now. Believe it or not, it's a real potion that can restore seriously injured people to their original state."
Ma Tao smiled. When it comes to the ginseng potion, I have to say that this is the only satisfying experience in the Shura Palace black market so far.
"you……"
Looking at Ma Tao in front of him, Su Lanyu felt that he would not lie about this kind of thing, because he had no reason to use this kind of thing to deceive himself. When he looked at Ma Tao's sister, he saw that she also smiled and nodded, which made her even more worried. Su Lanyu confirmed.
"Since the ginseng medicine that has long disappeared in your eyes is real, then I believe that the magic pill must also exist. If the magic pill exists, then the regeneration pill, which is called the miracle medicine, must also exist."
Su Lanyu didn't speak, so Ma Tao continued.
"I'm really curious about what you and Lan Xi went through during the more than half a year they were outside."
Shaking her head, Su Lanyu didn't know how to refute Ma Tao. At the same time, she was also very surprised at Ma Tao's development speed. When he left, he was still a mere commander, with one person and one vehicle. Now, he owns three tanks. , and she still has the ginseng potion in her hand that has long since gone out of the market. Even today, she still does not believe that the person her sister is interested in can develop at such a rapid rate.
"Please believe in my brother, he really loves your sister very much."
My sister stood up and said at this time.
"Well, since you said there is, then I also believe that it must be there. Lanxi is my biological sister, so you are not alone in finding the Rebirth Pill. I will accompany you to find it."
Regardless of whether the story about the Rebirth Pill is true or false, since there is this legend and it has lasted for decades, it doesn’t matter if you believe in it once. Besides, Ma Tao still wants to find it to save his sister. Su Lanyu feels that since it is to save himself As his own sister, he also has the obligation to do his best to save his sister.
"you……"
This time it was Ma Tao's turn to be a little embarrassed. He didn't expect this result, but everyone has said so. I can't say that I don't need to find it myself.
"What? Can't it?"
Su Lanyu asked
"No, no, no, you mean you want to join..."
Ma Tao looked tentatively into her eyes and asked.
"Aren't you welcome? I have nowhere to go and no one to go to now."
After saying this, Su Lanyu felt miserable in her heart.
The seriousness that I have always been proud of has completely plotted against me. I wasted more than half a year with lies and house arrest. There was no way to talk about revenge. I even let...
Thinking of this, Su Lanyu suddenly wanted to cry. Unexpectedly, the person he found for hope was the most despicable and insidious villain, but his sister, the guy he disliked the least, took on all the hope. Now, he It is not only the hope of her sister, but also their hope of revenge. At the same time, she is also the only person she can rely on temporarily. With nowhere to go, she has no choice but to wander outside. She wants revenge unless she can pull her up. A strong enough team, or joining a powerful organization, but now, keeping Ma Tao here is her only way out.
Su Lanyu was very aware of the cruelty of the outside world, but it was precisely because of her understanding that she took refuge with the wrong person, which led to what happened today.
"how could be"
Ma Tao thought carefully and understood Su Lanyu's current predicament, nodded and smiled.
"They're here"
The sister on the side looked at the small wisp of smoke rising slowly to the west and said.
The vast green grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, with green sea waves. Three small black dots appeared on the western horizon, bringing up three streaks of smoke and dust. Soon, the three small black dots grew larger and larger, finally showing the outlines of three tanks. .
The fastest one was Xiao Jinzi's 02 jeep. At this time, this kid was driving it like crazy. The distance between it and the other two chariots was about fifty or sixty meters, and it was running towards Ma Tao and the others at a rapid pace. The No. 1 tank and the No. 3 China-Pakistan ambulance behind them kept moving at a speed of fifty or sixty miles per hour.
Although the speed of fifty or sixty miles does not sound fast, it is quite fast on this grassland.
Seeing that they were about one or two kilometers away from Neng, in order not to bring smoke to Ma Tao's face, the speed of the three tanks began to slow down. Of course, Xiao Jinzi's jeep was still in front. .
After watching the jeep slowly stop ten meters ahead, Xiao Jinzi kicked the door open and jumped out of the car.
"Brother Tao! I...Tao..."
Xiao Jinzi, who had just gotten off the chariot and was about to reach out and run over to give Ma Tao a hug, suddenly saw Su Lanyu standing next to Ma Tao and immediately stood there dumbly. After a while, there was a lingering look in his eyes. Su Lanyu was in tears, and was stunned when he saw her. She didn't understand why he saw her with this expression.
"Lan...Sister Lanxi...Sister Lanxi, it's great that you're back! Great!"
Xiao Jinzi, whose eyes were full of tears, couldn't control it anymore and burst into tears immediately. He rushed forward and stretched out his arms to hug Su Lanyu.
At first, when Su Lanyu saw him running away with his hands open, he subconsciously wanted to take action. But when he heard this little brat call out his sister's name, he immediately understood. Seeing the tears on his face and eyes, he didn't. dodge.
