"Um...Brother Tao, Xiaoluobo wants to see you."
At this moment, An Ruo suddenly opened the hatch of the minibus and looked at Ma Taodao in the crowd.
Everyone was stunned. This child has never left Chariot No. 3 since he woke up. He locked himself in the car and didn't even eat. Why did he suddenly want to see Ma Tao now?
"This kid is quite pitiful. I guess you are his only spiritual support now. You'd better go and see him."
Everyone looked at each other, and Gao Han motioned to Ma Tao and asked him to hurry over.
After all, Xiaoluobo's uncle Liu Tong chose to sacrifice his life at the last moment. However, no matter what, his uncle had done some things that were sorry to Ma Tao before. But then again, since ancient times, death is a big deal, and Liu Tong people They are all dead. Whether it is right or wrong, just follow the white phosphorus bomb that burned away the soul. It was innocent to lay the carrot. Now, although Ma Tao and others said they saved him, it is no less than taking over. A hot potato, a ten-year-old child whose body has not yet grown up, is a burden in terms of strength and stamina. It is simply unrealistic to take him with him, but if he does not take him with him, it is possible that he will be sent back to the black market of Shura Palace. , let alone whether he can go back, even the little carrot at the door may not be able to get in, and it may even be used by the person named Yan to vent his anger. It is normal to expose the body in the wilderness. In this way, it is equivalent to Ma Tao harming this person. child.
Ma Tao glanced at Gao Han, then at An Ruo at the door of the No. 3 minibus, then raised his legs and walked towards the No. 3 bus.
"I'll accompany you"
Xiao Jinzi quickly finished the bowl of food and porridge, put down the bowl, and followed.
Su Lanyu didn't know anything about Xiaoluobo. These things all happened before she met Ma Tao. She was surprised to hear that Ma Tao was bringing a child with her, but she was just surprised and didn't think about anything else.
After all, Ma Tao's age is there. Besides, when the sisters met Ma Tao, Ma Tao didn't have children around him. The only possibility is that this guy rescued such a child from nowhere. This is really a bad thing. What a good person, even taking in this kind of people who in everyone's eyes can be abandoned at any time and at any time.
In fact, it is not surprising that Su Lanyu was surprised. In this world, the most powerful people are always men, followed by women, then the elderly and the disabled, and finally children. Generally speaking, young adults are the foundation of combat effectiveness, and women are just vassals. There are very few exceptions. The elderly, disabled people and children who follow can be discarded or used as cheap tools. In many cases, policymakers will even choose to kill them to reduce the cost of food and water, just like hunting and capturing slaves. When baiting, young men and women are the targets of hunting, the elderly and children are losers, older children are better off, the younger they are, the faster they die. In these days, quick exchange of profits is the key. , who has time to slowly cultivate a product that will eventually be sold, unless he is very special, fending for himself is the best choice, so situations like Ma Tao who save everyone are really the behavior of a fool.
Uncle Guang hadn't finished eating yet, so Gao Han couldn't pack his things. He looked up and saw Su Lanyu staring at Ma Tao and the others in a daze as they left. Gao Han, who guessed what she was thinking, smiled at her and said, "Do you want to hear about that child?" ?”
"Me?"
Su Lanyu looked away from Ma Tao and the others, and then said, "It's okay to talk."
"The child's name is Xiaoluobo. He is just ten years old this year. He was our guide when we first came to the Shura Palace black market..."
Immediately, Gao Han did not shy away from Uncle Guang who was eating, and briefly explained how they met Xiaoluobo and his son.
When Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi boarded Chariot No. 3, they almost cried.
The reason was that Gao Han's No. 3 minibus ambulance was extremely warm, and he could even feel the obvious heat on his face.
"This car actually has warm air..."
Xiao Jinzi couldn't help but touch the car door handle inside. It was so warm and moist, without any feeling of coldness at all. She was so envious that tears filled her eyes.
"This is so happy..."
Ma Tao closed his eyes and shook his head with great envy.
Comparing people to each other is so irritating. My car freezes like a dog, while someone else's car is as warm as spring. The original owner of the car, Marshall, must know how to enjoy life, and has considered everything.
"I was just about to tell you that from now on, we ladies will all live in minibuses. We can sleep in them anyway, so we won't compete with you for parking spaces."
Hearing their sighs, Gao Han made another announcement. The meaning was very clear. You guys can enjoy the two tanks that can freeze people to death. The sisters will not accompany you.
Closer to home, after Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi entered the No. 3 minivan, the elder sister sat beside the bed with the thinly-clad little Luobao. The elder sister was probably still trying to persuade him to take off the carrot, but Ma Tao could tell from the child's face. As you can see, the effect is useless.
A ten-year-old child knows a lot of things, and is in the first half of the rebellious period psychologically. If you want him to listen to something, you must first let him convince you, or worship you. Everything else is in vain, no matter how good the words are. It was still a stick, but the effect was not even as good as a word from the person he admired.
"Okay, Ma Tao is here. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
An Ruo, who got on the bus first, glanced at the stubborn-looking Little Carrot and the helpless Sister R.
"For your uncle... No! I'm sorry for your father's death."
In Xiaoluobo's eyes, Ma Tao could see sadness, regret, and even a little bit of hatred for himself. Although it was not clear, Ma Tao guessed that this kid must have felt that he was completely capable at that time. Just buy his father's.
"Why didn't you save him? You could have saved him then!"
Sure enough, Xiaoluobo finally vented his inner dissatisfaction. At this age, he still doesn't know how to hide his inner thoughts. He must ask clearly what he is thinking, but this is fine. Ma Tao is really worried that he suppresses himself. Suppress it yourself.
"Little Carrot, didn't I tell you everything behind this? At that time, we couldn't protect ourselves at all..."
"You lied to me!"
Unexpectedly, before An Ruo could finish speaking, Xiaoluobo roared and stopped what An Ruo was about to say.
"You...I spoiled you!"
Xiao Jinzi, who had followed Ma Tao in, saw that the child's face turned white with fright from An Ruo, and immediately became angry and slapped him with his hand.
From Xiao Jinzi's point of view, you are a jerk if you don't show your gratitude and bite back after someone saved your life. This is an asshole, especially if you get angry at An Ruo, who is reluctant to reprimand him, which makes Xiao Jinzi even more angry. Unable to bear it and not being used to it at all, the second generation ancestor's personality immediately exploded. However, his slap failed in the end and was quickly stopped by Ma Tao.
"Brother Tao! This kid is just a white-eyed wolf. Why are you still protecting him? I will educate him today so that he can understand what this world is like."
Xiao Jinzi, who was very puzzled, looked at Ma Tao's hand holding his wrist tightly and said.
"Neither you nor I are Liu Tong, and neither of us have the right to beat him."
Ma Tao looked back at the slightly frightened Little Carrot, then looked at Little Jinzi and said.
After all, Xiaoluobo is still a ten-year-old child, and the world he comes into contact with is the world under the protection of his father Liu Tong. Although his life is very difficult, he can still live his life after all. He still doesn’t understand much about the people and things in the outside world, so When he saw Xiao Jinzi getting angry, he was a little timid and didn't dare to talk back to Xiao Jinzi.
When it came to Liu Tong, Xiao Jinzi couldn't say anything. He could only glare at the frightened little carrot, grabbed An Ruo's arm, and led An Ruo out angrily.
Ma Tao and Xiaoluobo were the only ones left in the car. There was the robot sister. The air was a bit solid. Xiaoluobo had not yet recovered from the previous state. Ma Tao couldn't say anything when he looked at him like this.
"Do you hate me?"
After a while, Ma Tao saw that he had recovered a little and opened his mouth to ask.
Little Carrot raised his head and glanced at Ma Tao without saying a word.
"I know you must be dissatisfied now, but I tell you, it was not me who killed your father. You also know this very well. If I were you, what I am thinking about now must be how to survive and how to live a better future. Give me the opportunity to take revenge instead of sitting here regretting, blaming yourself and getting angry randomly. Even if you have hatred for me now, if you want to take revenge, you must first learn to be independent."
Ma Tao knows that this child needs time to accept reality and grow up, but Ma Tao does not have time to wait for him to grow up. He still has a lot to do, and it is impossible to stop for the sake of this child's personal hatred, so Ma Tao Thao already had a decision in his mind.
"I...then what should I do now? I...I don't know what to do?"
Ma Tao's words cheered up Xiaoluobo, but he still didn't know what to do next.
"You don't have to do anything. You must first learn to live well. If you can't even survive, don't think about the rest."
Su Lanyu's voice came from behind Ma Tao. This woman had already boarded the No. 3 minibus at some point, and happened to hear Xiaoluobo's words and speak.
"You...you are..."
Seeing Su Lanyu, Xiaoluobo's eyes were full of shock and horror. He pointed at Su Lanyu at the door of the car and didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
As almost all the local residents of the Shura Palace black market have seen Su Lanyu's appearance, it is impossible for Xiaoluobo not to know Su Lanyu's identity. When he saw her here, he subconsciously thought about whether Seriousness would soon catch up with him, and he felt panicked in his heart. no.
"you know me?"
Su Lanyu was not surprised at all. She had often traveled with Zheng Zheng to various ceremonies and gatherings in the black market. Of course, Zheng Zheng was always within three meters of her, not only protecting her safety, but also Supervise all secret activities.
Looking at Su Lanyu's beautiful cheeks, Xiaoluobo opened her round eyes and nodded.
"This is easy to handle. What they told you before is true. Even I need to escape. No one is a serious opponent, so there was no time to save your father at that time, so you only need to remember what killed your father." Just who it is is enough.”
The corners of her perfect mouth curved, and Su Lanyu said with a slight smile.
You just need to remember who killed your father...
You just need to remember who killed your father...
…
Su Lanyu's last words were like a magical spell that always echoed in Xiaoluobo's mind. Like a brand, they were permanently buried in the heart of young Xiaoluobo. Xiaoluobo's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Ma Tao, are you done talking? Come out first, it's urgent."
At this moment, Xiao Jinzi at the door suddenly shouted in a hurry. Listening to his anxious tone, Ma Tao quickly turned around and got out of the No. 3 minibus.
"What's wrong? What happened? You're in such a panic."
Being blown by the cold wind outside the car, the cold and heat really caught people off guard. Ma Tao gritted his teeth and jumped out of the chariot and asked.
"Oops! It's not me, it's Xiaoruo!"
Xiao Jinzi at the door saw Ma Tao coming out and quickly took An Ruo's hand and came to Ma Tao.
An Ruo? What happened to An Ruo?
At this time, the girl Anruo was in front of Xiao Jinzi, and she didn't see anything wrong. Ma Tao felt strange. After taking a look, he immediately discovered the problem.
An Ruo in front of her looked like everything was normal, but the girl's eyes were red and there were two lines of tears on her face. Was it obvious that she had just cried? Even now, the girl An Ruo's eyes are still shining with crystal tears.
"what happened?"
This discovery made Ma Tao suddenly feel a little bit bad.
"I...my mother...if I can't survive, my family will ask me to go back quickly..."
An Ruo choked with sobs and said something that Ma Tao didn't expect.
"How...how could this happen?"
Ma Tao was stunned immediately after hearing this. At the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart. An Ruo's mother was a very bitter and mean person. Normally, such a person would be able to take care of herself. Why did she suddenly fail? How did Xiao Jinzi and An Ruo know the news when they were in Seoul and thousands of miles away from where they were now? Thinking of this, he then asked, "An Ruo, how did you know that something like this happened in your family?"
"Oh, of course it's me. When I left, I secretly left a communication watch (S scanner) for An Ruo's brother to use to contact us in the future. Just now, the message from Xiao Ruo's brother, you see "
As he spoke, Xiao Jinzi, who looked anxious, raised An Ruo's wrist and showed Ma Tao the information on her watch.
Ma Tao stretched his head and looked over, and saw that there was only a line of small words on it.
(Sister, please come back soon, Mom is dying)
Seeing that the source of this news was a single-line link, Ma Tao immediately understood that this was a separate communication channel established by Anruo and her brother. No wonder he and others didn't know about it.
"Didn't you ask what happened?"
Ma Tao asked with a cautious expression on his face after reading it.
"I asked, but there has been no reply. Otherwise, why should we be so worried?"
Xiao Jinzi stood at the edge and was gearing up for a while. He seemed to be really anxious. He was looking at An Ruo. Although the relationship between this girl and her mother was not very good, and there had been a mother-daughter breakup before, but today she heard that her mother was in danger. The news is still red-eyed. Obviously, it is not unreasonable that blood is thicker than water.
"Don't worry. Xiao Jinzi's parents are here in Seoul, so nothing big will happen. So, pack your things and we'll set off immediately. We'll be back in Seoul soon. We'll know what's going on then."
Ma Tao saw the two of them in such a hurry, especially An Ruo, whose tears fell silently one after another like broken pearls.
"Yes! My parents are also in Seoul. It's okay. Don't worry, it will be okay."
Xiao Jinzi hurriedly advised An Ruo.
After saying that, Ma Tao quickly told everyone to pack their things quickly, and then started to connect the fax device.
In fact, there is nothing to clean up. Just find something to put the food in the pot, extinguish the flame, and then pack up the scattered things. It will be done in just a few minutes.
Before leaving, Ma Tao turned his head and looked at the two big branches that Xiao Jinzi and Uncle Guang had pulled back before, and sighed helplessly.
This plan never changes quickly. I was planning my trip to Forli so hard before, but I didn't expect to go back to Seoul the next second. The branches that were originally intended to increase the friction of the tires were no longer needed.
However, Ma Tao didn't feel it was a pity. It was not far away anyway, so he could use this time to go back and solve the problem of Xiaoluobo. By the way, he could also take Su Lanyu to visit Lan Xi and his father.
Three chariots were arranged in a Z-shaped formation. The moment the fax machine was activated, a vast expanse of white appeared in front of the eyes, and a sense of weightlessness appeared. Then they disappeared. Somewhere in Seoul, three chariots hung with frost. Refreshed on the dry yellow sand ground outside the city wall, a cold air came into contact with the surrounding hot air and swept away. Hot and cold alternated. White water vapor continued to rise from the bodies of the three chariots, which seemed a little different from everything around it. It’s so out of place that if there were outsiders here, they would definitely shout in surprise: Look! Those three chariots were smoking!
Because the place they want to go to is Seoul, which has a tropical climate, their previous plan of all the ladies going to Car No. 3 has been temporarily shelved. Car No. 1 is still Ma Tao, Su Lanyu and Uncle Guang, and Car No. 2 is Xiao Jinzi and An Ruo, in the No. 3 car are Sister R and the little kid Luo Bo.
The familiar city wall appeared in front of them. It was tall and majestic, giving people a sense of security. However, both Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi who were driving the chariot keenly felt the smell of death.
The outside of the city was still the same, with barbed wire and various obstacles everywhere. The three chariots moved slowly around the city wall towards the city gate. The surroundings were still the same along the way, but Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi always felt that something was wrong. . But they couldn't tell what was wrong. It wasn't until the three chariots approached the gate of Seoul that they realized what was wrong.
Yes, they are people!
What is very different from the city gate that Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi remembered in the past is that almost no one enters or exits the city gate at this time. It is as if it is undefended and wide open. Not to mention the busy traffic in the past, Seoul's The garrison didn't even know where they had gone, and not even half of the civilian population could be seen.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Ma Tao, who was in the 01 tank chariot, stared at the empty city gate with a confused look on his face.
Xiao Jinzi didn’t know what was going on. Could it be that Seoul was conquered by an army of monsters? But that’s not right. There were no traces of war bombardment around. Not even a corner of the stone on the city wall was lost. It was definitely impossible to be attacked by Noah. Contributed by the monster army, are you saying that everyone in the city has moved away? It's impossible. More than 100,000 people can just move away. This is simply impossible, there is no need to think about it, but it is none of these, where have all those people gone? .
"Ma Tao! Look over there, at two o'clock!"
At this moment, Gao Han's shout reminded everyone to look at the two o'clock direction of the motorcade, which is a bit east of due north.
Everyone looked around and saw a group of people in that direction.
The number of this group of people is not large, only about a dozen people. Judging from their clothes and attire, they should all be city residents. At this time, this group of people is staggering around a dark hill. What are you busy with?
"Weird? The way these people walk is so strange?"
Su Lanyu, who was also sitting in the passenger seat of car No. 1, looked at the swaying and weird walking posture of the group of people on the screen and said doubtfully.
Ma Tao also felt that the way they walked was strange. How should I put it? It felt like zombies seen in movies. However, the tank C device did not give a warning, which meant that the group in front of them did not Dangerous, this is strange.
In order to see more clearly, Ma Tao stretched out his hand and subconsciously zoomed in on the car screen until he could clearly see the faces of those people. Ma Tao's eyes suddenly widened, and the horror in his heart was beyond words. Language description.
You can clearly see the appearance of these people through the screen display in the car. Let’s put it this way, these people have purple-black freckles on their faces, hands, necks, and everywhere they can see. Even on many people’s faces The purple-black spots on the body were rotten, and some were bleeding. Some people walked down the aisle and fell to the ground with a plop. The people nearby quickly reached out and pushed this to the small hill next to it. Lost, look again, what kind of hill is that? They are clearly mountains of corpses one after another. The skin of each corpse is purple-black. There are too many to count. There are quite a few mice crawling on the corpses. All around, gnawing at these souls that have been sleeping forever, looking into the distance, more people are wandering around in the distance, swaying, and from time to time someone falls down and does not stand up.
"Xiao Jinzi... did you... see it?"
Facing this extremely shocking scene, Ma Tao was simply stunned.
"I...I...I saw it, this...what the hell is going on?"
Xiao Jinzi in Jeep No. 2 was much more shocked than Ma Tao. He had lived here since he was a child and was very familiar with everything here. Now, faced with the silence of this empty city, the panic in his heart almost made his soul shake. Trembling.
"Everyone! Back up immediately, immediately! We must stay away from this city! This is an infectious disease! Hurry!"
Suddenly, the alarm in the No. 3 tank continued. After Gao Han saw the information displayed on the display screen, he had no time to say anything and quickly called everyone to evacuate.
"No! No! I want to go to the city!"
But Xiao Jinzi was like crazy, stepping on the accelerator and rushing inside.
"Are you crazy! This is the Black Death! You will kill everyone!"
Gao Han's loud shout immediately made everyone feel nervous.
Black Death! ! !
