Suddenly, Ma Tao couldn't remember the old man at all. On the contrary, his heart was full of gratitude at this moment.
If you want to walk on the ice, you have to tell me the same thing as the old man. You must forget the previous way of walking and start a new one. When walking on the ice, you need to think about the direction and place in advance, and skate towards the destination. Just go past it. Of course, strength is very important. You only need to maintain a good balance in the middle, and leave the rest to your feet. Stop naturally when you encounter obstacles or places where you can't slide past.
Everyone was tossing around on the ice like clowns for half an hour. Everyone finally understood the essentials of skating, including Xiao Jinzi, who could simply move on the ice. This was considered okay, and they also understood It explains why a few big trees or other obstacles are deliberately left on the ice, because many people rely on these obstacles to change direction and stop when gliding to the middle. At this time, they also He wasn't even cold anymore. He had warm clothes on his body, and he was sweating profusely from just learning to skate on the ice. It was like there was a little sun in his body, and he even felt a little warm.
"What to do with our car? Just leave it there?"
When everyone arrived at the entrance of the human equipment store, Xiao Jinzi looked back at the three chariots that were close together not far away.
Ma Tao is also worried about this problem. The three chariots are covered with one chariot and are tightly connected. No one can move it. Is it possible that they have to wait until next spring when the flowers bloom? But Ma Tao has been staring at this vast piece of ice for a long time. He initially estimated that this is a place like a lake, otherwise it would not be so peaceful and vast. If he really waits for the ice to melt, he is afraid that his three vehicles The chariot was all soaked in water.
"Just leave it there first. I'll buy anti-skid chains later, then hire a few people to spread some anti-skid material and drive it out."
Among them, Su Lanyu was the only one who had been to Free. There should naturally be a solution to the chariot's situation. Sure enough, Su Lanyu did not disappoint Ma Tao. She already knew how to deal with this kind of thing.
Hearing what Su Lanyu said, Xiao Jinzi felt relieved. After not asking about the tank, he began to eagerly want to go to the human equipment store.
The location of Free's human equipment store is a bit weird. It was built on the west side of the town where there is no ice. It looks like a large warehouse and covers a large area. It is backed by the ice and there are woods to the west. There are some wooden stakes nailed to the front. Vehicles cannot be driven in, but there is an empty space around the wooden piles, and there is no chariot parked there. But then again, it is really difficult to drive the chariot here. Technical work not only tests a person's driving ability, but also tests their judgment. There is no way to turn when skating on ice. Once you turn the steering wheel, it is easy to lose control of the vehicle, and you don't know where you are going.
"Strange? Why doesn't the human equipment store in this frozen city even have a car? Is Free's economy so bad?"
Gao Han noticed the strange situation that there was no combat vehicle in front of the human weapons and equipment store at a glance.
In any town, as long as it has a store, there will be more or less vehicles parked at the door, and there will often be places for tanks to park at the door of these shops. In this world, tanks are like the first Just like the second life, everyone cherishes it and wishes to wear it in his belt every day, so he likes to park his car nearby no matter where he goes.
At the entrance of the human weapons and equipment store, Gao Han and Su Lanyu once again attracted the attention of countless people. Both women were wearing windbreaker-type cold-proof clothes, and they were also the kind with waistbands. In addition, the two women's feet They were both wearing long women's boots, which made one look like her legs were round and straight, one was mature, the other was aloof, with bulging front and back, and both had amazingly good figures and faces. When they walked together, it was self-evident that they attracted attention. Before they could enter the door, unscrupulous whistles sounded one after another. Compared to the two of them, the elder sister was much more normal. With them around, the ordinary-looking elder sister was inconspicuous.
Whistling sounds were heard one after another as they walked by. Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi, who were wearing shabby clothes behind them, felt aggrieved not to mention it. It would be okay if everyone was wearing cool clothes, but they happened to They were just like two beggars, so how could they be in a good mood? They became even more angry when they heard the whistles of these guys around them.
After getting angry, those who whistled did not do any other excessive things, they just looked at them with their eyes unscrupulously. Neither Gao Han nor Su Lanxi were the kind of people who were afraid of being looked at, and they did not care about these people. The whistling sound made them all seem like nothing. As for the women, the pretty ones didn't think anything of it, but the unattractive ones attracted a lot of hatred from the two of them.
"Most people here like to park their chariots inside the building over there. Not to mention the trouble of parking outside, the point is still that it's cold. There is no comfort in a high-rise building."
Su Lanyu explained.
"Lou? Please, where can I see the building from here?"
Xiao Jinzi thought there was something wrong with his eyes, so he turned around and found that he did not see the building Su Lanyu mentioned anywhere. Not only did he not see it, Ma Tao also did not see any high-rise buildings in Free, let alone high-rise buildings. Not even a second-story building was visible.
"That large building over there is the building, but what you see now is just the top floor. There are several floors below."
Su Lanyu turned around and glanced at the two of them, then turned back and said without looking back.
"You said we are on the roof now?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at the ice under his feet in shock, and said in disbelief, "Oh my god, how thick is this ice..."
Entering the human weapons and equipment store in Free Town, a warm breeze blew in. The room was very warm, and there were several red-burning stoves. As soon as Ma Tao and the five people came in, everyone in the room was accustomed to Look at these people who have just entered.
The space in the human weapons and equipment store is about 200 to 300 square meters. There are counters with isolation protection on both sides. There are also several tables and chairs for people to rest, and some people are sitting there.
As soon as he entered the door, the salesperson at the human tools counter on the right was chatting with someone. He just glanced at Ma Tao and the others who had just come in and stopped paying attention. He continued talking to the people who were chatting with him before. It was obvious that the two of them were obviously The relationship is very familiar, and the eyebrows are chatting and laughing in a lively manner.
The counter of the human weapons store on the left was empty. The salesperson in red overalls looked at Ma Tao and the others and smiled.
There were several people in the room, some were sleeping on the table, some were drinking, some were men and women, and they were doing anything. Ma Tao originally wanted to know the general identities of these people from their clothes. It's a pity that everyone here is wearing thick clothes, wrapped in thick clothes to protect them from the cold. It's hard to say whether they are carrying weapons or what kind of weapons they are carrying, unless they are large weapons like Xiao Jinzi or Su Lanyu. There was no way to hide it, so I had to carry it on my back and show off in the market.
The entrance of Gao Han and Su Lanyu made these people's eyes light up. For beautiful things, people are still willing to take a second look, especially men. Most of them like to look at beautiful women when they see them, either directly or secretly. Two eyes, even if you know that this woman will not have a dime of relationship with you, you still want to look at it. After all, it is illegal to look at it with your eyes. You will not lose anything. More importantly, you can have a daydream and have sex, right?
"Welcome to the weapons store. Do you guys want armor or weapons? You look like you have just arrived at Free. This beautiful warrior, you are really discerning. You have chosen the best things in our store at a glance."
The salesperson at the weapons store was a young man, about 20 or 30 years old. When he saw Ma Tao and the others coming over, he immediately said with a smile, but he obviously regarded Gao Han and Su Lanyu as key figures, especially when he saw Gao Han. Han casually picked up the introduced equipment and while browsing through it, he saw a device called a sonar gun and immediately started promoting it.
"Brother Tao, he has copper clothes and copper claws."
Xiao Jinzi also picked up an introduction instrument and flipped through it twice, then his eyes lit up and he said.
"That helmet is pretty good too. Its defensive power is twice that of what's on top of our heads now."
Ma Tao replied as he saw the products her fingers traced through the transparent product introduction device held by Gao Han.
"Well...be careful when you take it. If it breaks, you have to pay for it. It's quite expensive..."
The salesperson in red work clothes squinted at the product introduction device in Xiao Jinzi's hand and reminded him with a worried look on his face.
Maybe he never thought that these two men in tattered clothes would be the last ones to pay the bill. He completely regarded Xiao Jinzi as a stinky beggar.
"What do you mean? Do you look down on me? Are you afraid that I can't afford to apologize?"
Could Xiao Jinzi not hear this? His face immediately fell, he frowned, and slapped the product introduction device in his hand on the counter.
"Well, let's just take a look, they are responsible for paying."
Seeing that Xiao Jinzi was about to get angry, Gao Han quickly smiled and said something to the young salesman in front of her.
"ah?"】
The young man stared at Gao Han for a moment, and then immediately understood the meaning of Gao Han's words. He thought that he was too blind to recognize Taishan, and he had mistakenly recognized the big king. Thinking of this, the salesman quickly turned his head and looked at Gao Han with a smile on his face. Little gold.
"Which... this handsome and brave hunter warrior, that... whatever you want, just say it, I promise to tell you everything."
The situation changed so quickly, and there was no one left. Although the salesman was smiling at this time, his smile was uglier than crying. He was so embarrassed that he refused to say anything, and his facial muscles were even more stiff.
"snort!"
Xiao Jinzi snorted coldly, glared at him fiercely, and said nothing. He had seen this kind of snobbery and judged people based on their appearance many times, and had long been used to it.
It is said that when he didn't know Ma Tao in Seoul, Xiao Jinzi was a technical nerd. He was full of knowledge about tanks and had no use for it. He spent all day studying car-related things and didn't like to socialize. Whenever there was an occasion. At that time, Xiao Jinzi's appearance was always mediocre, so that many people did not believe that he was the top young man on the Seoul Committee's gold list. He had experienced a lot of this kind of thing, but this did not mean that Xiao Jinzi had no temper. A man can not care about his appearance or have no abilities, but a man cannot lose his temper. A man without a temper is no longer a man.
Ma Tao reached out and took the piece of product introduction equipment that Xiao Jinzi had patted on the counter before, then patted him on the shoulder, telling him to calm down, and then glared at Gao Han and Su Lanyu. If Su Lanyu hadn't given him and Xiao Jinzi two People would not look down upon the clothes they brought with them if they were so tattered. In the final analysis, they were the ones who were responsible for the harm. I couldn’t blame anyone else. Then I faced the salesperson and smiled, “Our clothes are a little ragged, so don’t show them outside.”
Ma Tao said this. What else could the salesman say? He could only follow Ma Tao's words and said, "How could it be? This is a manifestation of your personality, personality, and individuality."
"puff……"
Listening to the conversation between Ma Tao and the salesman, Gao Han couldn't help laughing. Su Lanyu also turned his head to the side, not looking at Ma Tao and the others.
Ma Tao really wanted to say something (I blame you all, but you still laughed out loud. If Xiao Jinzi had just been offended, everyone would have to bear the trouble together)
However, Ma Tao couldn't say this in person, so he thought about it in his heart. Thinking of this, Ma Tao continued to pay attention to the product introduction equipment in his hand.
The good things in Free Town are really greedy. This can be seen from the little stars that keep popping up in Ma Tao's eyes. Whether it is a platoon runner, a saber, or a high-tech weapon such as a sonar gun, they are all Ma Tao's. Tao envied and hated all the things and wanted to buy them all, but if he bought them all, the ten thousand dollars in his hand would not be enough for anything, which made people anxious.
First, let’s talk about the weapons in Freetown. The first thing we saw was the volley of guns, worth 1410G.
The so-called platoon artillery is also called platoon artillery. It is the artillery strike fired by many door guns at the same target at the same time. It is somewhat similar to a super large shotgun. It fires multiple shells in one attack. It has an excellent effect of hitting a wide area, but it also has many shortcomings. Obviously, that's the range.
The second weapon is a cold weapon saber, with a marked value of 1500G. In the current era of hot weapons dominance, cold weapon battles are almost rare, but this does not mean that cold weapons are no longer used on the battlefield. On the contrary, the battles between cold weapons have become It is more cruel and bloody. There are many types of sabers. The more famous ones are Swiss saber, Damascus saber, Japanese samurai sword, SAS assault dagger, Randall, Nepalese saber, and three-edged military stab. , these are world-famous types of sabers.
A good knife not only has to cut through iron like clay, but also needs to be used in your hand. This is the key. A weapon that is not used in your hand will not only fail to kill the enemy but may also injure yourself. The saber sold in Free Town is a high-strength titanium alloy saber, and The types of sabers can be customized, and the materials are all different. It depends on what kind of knife you want. The two swords Su Lanyu carried on her back were purchased here. The price of 1,500 was almost all her financial resources at the time. Source, seriousness also played a part in this.
Let’s talk about the next weapon, the sonar gun, which is the most valuable. It costs 2200G. It is the most expensive weapon and equipment so far.
As we all know, sound intensity has a very obvious impact on the human body. The smallest sound a person can hear is 1 decibel, which is equivalent to the buzz of a mosquito three meters away. People will be harmed when they are continuously exposed to noise above 85 decibels. , strong sound waves above 150 decibels are enough to tear the eardrum.
Relevant scientists have conducted experiments with monkeys. When the sound reaches 170 decibels or above, the monkeys become incapacitated for a short time. When the sound reaches 200 decibels or above, it causes death and injury. When the sound reaches 240 decibels or above, the monkeys die within 3-5 seconds. What's more important is that sound can not only propagate in the air but also in water, and the speed is quite fast, reaching 1435 meters per second, which is more than three times faster than the 340 meters per second in the air. Water is a liquid. The compressibility is worse than that of air, and the energy carried by sound waves is also more terrifying. With a sonar gun, you can imagine encountering an octopus tank or something in the sea. The sonar gun will solve them all. It is colorless and odorless, killing people invisible. , its power and lethality needless to say.
At the bottom is the defensive equipment. The steel helmet, 400G, is much stronger than the iron helmet Ma Tao is wearing now. After all, the material is there. Next is the copper claw, which has most of the functions of the iron claw, and Available to everyone, worth 600G.
Bronze clothing, 1210G. Ma Tao didn’t understand who set this price. There are also parts and pieces. Needless to say, the leather boots at the end are 400G and the leather armor is 320G. The price is the same all over the world. Although these defensive equipment are all It's good, but for everyone who has seen how awesome Shining Armor is who wears a serious exoskeleton power armor, these things are nothing at all. In the face of Shining Armor's defense, these are all scum.
Ma Tao really likes these things. It can be said that he likes them very much. Compared with the semi-automatic assault rifle he is currently using, any weapon is completely crushed, and there is no discussion at all.
Everyone was a little hesitant. The most important reason was that they had just arrived at the human weapons and equipment store and had not yet gone to the chariot equipment store. Human things were so good, so wouldn't it be better to have equipment that could replace the chariots? , As a result, their ten thousand G was not enough to buy anything. When they arrived in Fori, Ma Tao had the feeling for the first time that the money in his hands could no longer be called money, and he even had I felt like I couldn't afford anything.
After much consideration, Ma Tao and others decided to wait for the time being and wait until they see what's over there at the chariot. However, if you wait, you can still see what you should see. If you can't afford it, it's always an eye-opener. It's okay, at least you can know what you want to pursue hard and give yourself some motivation.
After looking at the items in the human weapons store, everyone gathered at the human tool store opposite.
At the counter of the tool store here is a middle-aged man wearing blue work clothes. The hairline in front of his forehead has moved back a lot. At this moment, this middle-aged man in blue work clothes is still chatting with the person next to him at the counter. When Ma Tao and the other five approached the counter, the man didn't react at all and continued to chat with himself.
"Hey! Do you still have something to sell?"
Seeing this man's behavior, Xiao Jinzi shouted directly.
"I'm busy. There's a machine over there. You can just take a look for yourselves. Just tell me what you want and I'll get it for you."
The middle-aged man in blue overalls responded impatiently and then continued chatting with the person next to him.
Xiao Jinzi still wanted to say something, but Ma Tao winked at him, and the boy stopped talking. Su Lanyu on the side had already picked up the product introduction equipment and started browsing.
When the middle-aged man in blue work clothes turned sideways to reply, Ma Tao saw that the one who had been talking and laughing with him was a middle-aged woman about the same age as him. She looked pretty good and she could tell that she still had the charm of her youth. She was very enchanting, because the clothes she wore were quite thick, and she couldn't tell what her figure was. At first, Ma Tao didn't notice that this was a woman, but now it's not too late to find out. The one wearing blue work clothes and the other The middle-aged woman kept talking about how much it cost and how many times. Obviously, the identity of the middle-aged woman was self-evident.
"Nothing good, but you need to buy this thing."
Su Lanyu checked the product introduction equipment for a while and then handed it to Ma Tao.
"what?"
Ma Tao was stunned and reached out to take it.
The first thing I saw was a strange device with a ring in it. When I looked at the introduction at the bottom, it was a detector.
"This thing is a detector, a metal detection device. It consists of a metal detector and an automatic removal device. The detector is the core part. The system can use the alarm signal to drive the automatic removal device to remove metal impurities. However, this thing There is another great use”
Su Lanyu saw that Ma Tao was still looking at him with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to continue, and then continued, "This thing is generally used to detect the position of tanks and tank weapons."
"Looking for a chariot? What do you mean?"
Not only was Ma Tao confused, but Xiao Jinzi was also confused.
"She means that this thing can be used to detect the ruins that are rumored to contain chariots or weapons, am I right?"
Gao Han immediately understood what Su Lanyu wanted to express, and then explained.
"Damn it, do you believe in those mythical legends?"
Ma Tao simply found it funny. If those legendary chariot weapons could be found so easily, they would no longer be legends. But Ma Tao was stunned when he saw Su Lanyu and Gao Han with solemn expressions.
"You wouldn't really use this thing to find that chariot or something, would you?"
Ma Tao doesn't believe these rumors, which have no credibility at all and no real evidence. Legends are just legends, and there are dragons in legends, but Ma Tao has never seen the legendary dragon.
