It seems that it is impossible to find the answer from this small metal box. The only thing we can hope for is that Gao Han wakes up quickly, otherwise no one will know what Gao Han did to him.
"What should I do if she remains unconscious now?"
Su Lanyu looked at Gao Han, who looked rosy after taking the ginseng potion and couldn't see anything abnormal at all, but was still unconscious and asked Ma Tao.
"Sister, come and drive the No. 3 tank, and then you will put Sister Han into the recovery equipment together to see if the equipment can detect anything."
There was no way, and Ma Tao was at a loss. He only hoped that the recovery equipment in Car No. 3 could help them.
"Okay, I'll be there soon"
The sister in car No. 1 agreed, unbuckled her seat belt, turned around and climbed out of the chariot.
Because you have to be naked to enter the recovery equipment, and the equipment tank is completely transparent, you can see clearly that Gao Han is a woman, and a very beautiful woman, Ma Tao can only avoid suspicion, and Su Lanyu will not Fortunately, my sister can operate the recovery equipment. Another reason is that Ma Tao mainly wants her sister to drive the No. 3 tank. Ma Tao really cannot praise Su Lanyu's driving skills.
Before his sister could get on the bus, Ma Tao got out of the car first. At this time, their location was at the corner of the corridor of the ice cave. Although the temperature was still quite cold, I don't know if it was because the Elephant Tank was killed. After getting off the chariot, Ma Tao clearly felt that the temperature had become less cold. The most direct feeling was that it was completely different from when they first arrived.
When Ma Tao came out, Xiao Jinzi was lying in the trunk of car No. 1 repairing the car. He almost got half of his body in, and there was a lot of clanking and banging, and he didn't know what he was repairing.
The No. 1 tank was bombarded by the main gun of the Elephant Tank. At this time, it hit the trunk. The next battle was filled with black smoke, and the power performance was obviously reduced a lot. You know, tanks Most of the tanks' engines were arranged at the back. Ma Tao didn't know which parts of his vehicle had been damaged by this cannon. He had been so engrossed in the battle that he didn't have time to read the information prompted by the C device, but it was nothing more than Engine and chassis problems.
"How about it?"
Ma Tao walked behind Xiao Jinzi, who was about to get into the car, and looked inside. He saw that the various mechanical parts inside were very intricate, and he couldn't figure out where the damage was.
"The engine is damaged. It's a minor problem. It'll be fine in a moment. Just give me ten minutes!"
Hearing Ma Tao's movement, Xiao Jinzi was behind him without even getting out, so he lay on the back cover of the chariot, tinkering around and answering Ma Tao's words.
"If it doesn't work, just wait for a while and let the repairman on top take a look. It's pretty close anyway."
Ma Tao saw that the place where Xiao Jinzi was next to the chariot was completely covered in engine oil and dust, and he spoke again.
"Don't worry, just get on the horse~"
The little gold in the rear hood of the No. 1 tank was fiddled with hard for two or three times, and then it got out.
"alright!"
Opening his mouth, Xiao Jinzi revealed the only thing that could be described as white teeth on his face at the moment. His face was so covered with oil and dirt that he almost couldn't look like a human being, especially his hair, which was stained by machine oil. together.
"Thanks for your hard work"
Ma Tao looked at this dirty face and felt indescribably moved in his heart.
Although these people cannot be said to be the heroes of the world, they are definitely good brothers and sisters who work hard to live together. Everyone is exerting their own strength and working hard for this team. Contribution, everyone is fighting for the team as much as possible. Gao Han won't talk about it, just talk about Xiao Jinzi. No one told him to repair the car. The first thing this kid did when he came down was to repair Ma Tao's damaged equipment. Repair, we are talking about Su Lanyu. Unknowingly, this woman has integrated into everyone's circle. Ma Tao knew that she must have put in a lot of effort in the battle with the elephant just now. He can use the communication watch with everyone. You can hear it in her tone. The woman's voice was hoarse when she was controlling the fire control system of the No. 3 car. She immediately rescued Gao Han when she found something was wrong. Until now, these are all the changes made by one person. Ma Tao can see all these. Yes, before, Ma Tao believed that she would have turned a blind eye.
"Haha, it should be"
Xiao Jinzi scratched his oily hair and smiled silly, then looked at the CMB ambulance over there and asked, "How is Sister Han?"
"I don't know yet. Let's wait and see what the recovery equipment says."
Ma Tao sighed. Everyone was worried about Gao Han. This represents the feelings of the team and the cohesion of the team.
"oh"
Xiao Jinzi nodded and didn't ask anything.
"How's your car?"
Ma Tao looked at the No. 2 jeep next to his tank and asked. After all, this car was overturned by a bomb not long ago.
"My car is fine. It just lost more than 500 pieces of armor. There is nothing wrong with it at all."
Xiao Jinzi opened his mouth and answered.
Ma Tao sighed again. He just looked at the status of the No. 3 CMB ambulance. The No. 3 ambulance, which originally had a full status of 1,600, still had less than a thousand armors left. His own car still had more than 800, but The engine was damaged by the blast, but fortunately it was not completely broken, otherwise it would have to be dragged away. Xiao Jinzi's jeep sounds like the worst now, with only more than 200 pieces of armor left. After all, his car was in full condition before. It's only 790, and my car still has 1160 armor. It's normal to have this number after being hit by an elephant's main gun.
I used to think that the Elephant Tank was quite miserable, but now it seems that I and others are also miserable. After this battle, the loss of armor plates is only part of it. Speaking of ammunition loss, the three 115T guns all have 48 rounds. In the magazine, Gao Han's tank still had 17 rounds left, and Xiao Jinzi's jeep had the most, with more than 30 rounds left. However, he fired SE lightning three times, and finally talked about his tank. The shells were really It was in the single digits, with only eight rounds left. The special artillery shells, iron bombs, and smoke bombs were all used up, and the engine was almost destroyed. Combined with Gao Han's current coma, this battle can be said to be... It was a tragic victory. If Gao Han really had a shortcoming, he would have completely lost it. Ma Tao would blame himself for this decision for the rest of his life.
"Ma Tao?"
While he was sorting out the fighting situation here, his sister's voice sounded from his watch.
"I'm here! How does the recovery instrument display?"
When her sister called to herself, there was no need to think about it. Gao Han must have entered the recovery device.
"The instrument shows..."
This time it was not his sister who answered, but Su Lanyu. But hearing Su Lanyu's hesitant tone, Ma Tao immediately had a bad feeling, but he also had doubts in his heart, because from the outside, Gao Han's body was full of It's all normal, he's just unconscious. It shouldn't be too dangerous to resume the instrument testing.
"What does the instrument show?"
Ma Tao asked again anxiously, and Xiao Jinzi on the side also listened nervously.
"The instruments show that Gao Han is in good physical condition now, but she has completely lost consciousness, her brain has fallen into sleep, and she has fallen asleep."
My sister finally spoke this time, and she also used professional terms.
Ma Tao felt confused for a while.
Fell asleep
Why can't I wake up when I'm asleep?
"Then when will she wake up?"
Ma Tao asked immediately.
"she……"
Su Lanyu was silent again.
"Theoretically speaking, when Gao Han can wake up depends on when she wants to wake up."
My sister replied again.
"Seeing her wake up on her own? What do you mean?"
When Ma Tao heard that something was wrong, he turned around and glanced at the unkempt Xiao Jinzi, and found that the expression on the boy's face was strange, as if he wanted to cry, but couldn't. This made Ma Tao feel nervous for a moment.
"It means that Sister Han may never wake up."
Xiao Jinzi had read many books, and he could still tell what complete loss of consciousness meant.
Coma is a type of complete loss of consciousness and is a clinically critical illness. The occurrence of coma indicates that the patient's cerebral cortical function has suffered a serious disorder. The main symptoms are complete loss of consciousness, disappearance of voluntary movements, and slow or loss of response to external stimulation, but the patient still has breathing and heartbeat.
There is also a type of coma called waking coma, also known as "staring coma" or "decortical state." The patient's main symptoms are that he can open and close his eyes freely, and his eyeballs are in a state of aimless wandering, which can easily be misunderstood as the patient's consciousness. However, the patient's thinking, judgment, speech, memory, etc., as well as the ability to respond to surrounding things are completely lost. He cannot understand any questions, execute any instructions, or actively respond to any stimuli. This condition is commonly known as "vegetative state". The emergence of waking coma indicates that the patient's brainstem function exists but the cerebral cortex function is lost. In most cases, it is difficult to recover this function. Generally speaking, this situation is unsolvable. From a metaphysical point of view, this The human body is alive, but the soul has dissipated. It is believed that the three souls and seven souls of human beings are lost.
"how so!!!"
After listening to Xiao Jinzi's words, Ma Tao almost collapsed on the spot. If he hadn't held on to the chariot tracks next to him, Ma Tao would have sat down on the ground, and there would be no way he would still be standing here. Ma Tao, a vegetative person, knew this and knew better. This kind of brain death is so torturous that people really can't believe how Gao Han could be in this situation.
At this time, the small metal box that Gao Han had used before was still in Ma Tao's pocket. Nothing was more important than what it was.
"Sister Nanao Han is really..."
Xiao Jinzi's eyes were filled with tears, and he was almost choked with tears even when he spoke.
"If Gao Han still doesn't wake up within three days, we can only prepare for the worst."
My sister's words represent the final verdict on this matter.
Three days?
Everyone knows that this number is the most direct estimate that can be given for Gao Han's current situation. Three days is also the maximum possible time for a person's mental and physical awakening. Beyond this time, there is no possibility of awakening. To 99.1%, that is to say, the next thing can only be left to God.
There was silence in the watch, no one was talking, and the worry about Gao Han was like a dense dark cloud hanging over everyone's hearts.
Ma Tao didn't know how he got back into the chariot, and he had no memory of it. It wasn't until he woke up again that he realized he was sitting in the passenger seat of the jeep, with Xiao Jinzi sitting next to him.
There was a faint smell of strong smoke in his nose, and the boy actually lit a burning cigarette in his hand.
"Any more? Give me one."
Ma Tao looked at the boy's left hand holding the cigarette and was not in the mood to ask where he got the cigarette. He didn't even have any food left.
Without saying a word, Xiao Jinzi threw a complete pack of cigarettes to Ma Tao, which actually surprised Ma Tao.
"I didn't expect you to have a lot of inventory."
Looking at the unopened cigarette in his hand, Ma Tao looked at him thoughtfully.
“I found someone selling it before and bought two boxes.”
Showing a smile, Xiao Jinzi replied.
This kid has never washed his face and has no place to wash it. His face is full of oil and black stains, which makes people feel funny.
Ma Tao didn't ask about this. He opened the package and took out a cigarette from the box. Then he took the burning cigarette in Xiao Jinzi's hand and lit it. He took two puffs and felt a spicy taste in his mouth. I saw that this cigarette was not well preserved and was a bit damp.
"Is the fax still not working?"
After taking two puffs of cigarette, Ma Tao puffed out twice and then asked.
When they were trapped on the second underground floor, Ma Tao thought about using the fax machine to leave, but when he checked the fax, he unexpectedly found that transmission was prohibited. This place was as if someone had placed a barrier under it. The fax machine was The escape device that Tao thought of at the first moment actually malfunctioned. It was precisely for this reason that Ma Tao made up his mind to find a way out elsewhere. However, he failed to think of it, and in the end he still couldn't find a way out.
Now, there are two more urgent questions before everyone. The first one is Gao Han's unknown coma, and the second one is how to leave here.
The food, drinking water and other supplies prepared in the car are enough for everyone to last for five or six days, but after these five and six days have passed, what will happen next? You can't eat the corpses outside that have been frozen for who knows how many decades. Well, it seems that there is only one exit on the second floor, which is the elevator, and the layout here is different from the familiar fourth and fifth floors. Let’s not talk about other things. The stairs that are available on the fourth and fifth floors are here. No, otherwise you can go upstairs safely with the stairs. Looking at it this way, the design of the overall structure of the main building is very strange.
Xiao Jinzi shook his head. It was not that he had never thought about the problem Ma Tao was thinking about. He had looked at the connection problem of the fax device once or twice. At first, he thought the equipment was damaged, but later he found out that it was not. The underground floors here were different. The upper layers have been isolated. The signals inside can't get out, and the signals from outside can't get in. That's it.
"How about... let's go to the elevator and take a look?"
Ma Tao, who was smoking, turned to look at Xiao Jinzi beside him and asked.
He can't solve Gao Han's matter, let alone him. No one here can solve it. Since this matter can't be solved, then let's solve the next one. How to leave here is also very important.
"also"
Xiao Jinzi thought for a few seconds and nodded.
There is no other way out of here except the elevator.
Just as he was about to leave, Ma Tao immediately opened the door and got out of the jeep and walked towards his tank.
At this time, the smoke was no longer coming from the ice cave. Presumably the elephant tank had almost been burned into a pile of scrap metal. It was enough to survive for such a long time.
After contacting the sisters through their watches and explaining their intentions, they all agreed, so the three chariots started up again and prepared to return the same way.
Sliding through the passage that was wide enough to pass two large trucks, those frozen corpses appeared in front of them again. I wonder if it was Ma Tao's illusion. It was different from when they came before. This time they saw these trees standing on the ice. Seeing the many frozen corpses standing upright in front of him, Ma Tao felt as if they were welcoming him and others. It seemed as if all the souls in the sky had been released. In a daze, Ma Tao felt that all the things he heard in his head were It's the laughter of these corpses.
Miracles often like to appear at the most unexpected times. When everyone drove three chariots to the elevator door, the scene in front of them was unbelievable.
The iron door of the elevator, which had always been closed, was now open, and the elevator was parked there. It was as if it was waiting for them. What a coincidence.
"Is there anything weird?"
Such a scene made Xiao Jinzi aware of a hint of doubt.
"What are you afraid of? The elephants have been killed by us, what else can be more terrifying than the elephants?"
Ma Tao stared at the open elevator door and the empty elevator, thinking for a few seconds and said.
Success often brings great courage to people, making you confident and fearless no matter what you do.
The No. 1 tank was in the front, the minibus was in the middle, and the No. 2 jeep was at the end. The three tanks drove directly into the huge elevator.
The moment their chariot drove in, before Ma Tao could get out of the car to press the button, the elevator door magically closed on its own as if someone controlled it. Then, the entire elevator began to move, and everyone in the car You can feel the elevator rising.
"This feels very bad..."
Ma Tao muttered to himself, just to vent the depressed atmosphere at this moment.
The elevator's automatic opening, automatic running, and moving closing all give people the feeling of being operated in secret. They don't know where they are going or where they will stop. The feeling of being at the mercy of fate makes Ma Tao's heart turbulent as he plans to fight against fate to the end. ups and downs.
Sure enough, the running elevator didn't rise for long. It just went up one floor and stopped. Then, the closed elevator door opened.
Seeing that the Arabic numeral that should have been 2 turned into 3, and the same dark environment outside the elevator room, Ma Tao's face turned gloomy, completely black.
"Holy crap! There's an elephant tank in this building, right?"
Seeing how familiar this familiar scene was, Xiao Jinzi said that Ma Tao's face turned even darker.
The possibility he mentioned is not impossible. If there are really two identical Elephant tanks, or three, it would be really weird. Unless these three Elephant tanks all appear together, otherwise there will be no possibility at all. Maybe someone knows how many Elephant Tanks there are, because if an Elephant Tank is so powerful, the chance of surviving in an encounter is almost zero, and even if anyone does see it pass by an Elephant Tank, they will probably all be dead. , maybe one of them is among the towering frozen corpses.
"What should I do? Are you ready?"
My sister asked using her watch.
"Down!"
Ma Tao couldn't think about it, but the damn elevator had been parked here for several minutes. If they didn't get off, the elevator might not start again. This was the rhythm that forced them to get off the elevator.
As soon as he said that, Ma Tao was about to start the chariot. Suddenly, a beam of light appeared on the opposite side of the elevator.
"There's a situation!"
Xiao Jinzi said quickly.
Everyone was watching nervously as the beam of light slowly swayed. Suddenly, a figure staggered in front of the open elevator door.
"Is it a person?"
Communication watch Chinese young Jinzi said in surprise.
"Be careful then"
Ma Tao didn't dare to relax. There was actually someone below the fourth floor of Free Town. There was something wrong with this person's appearance.
The previous battle with the Elephant Tank had destroyed the lighting systems of all vehicles. At this moment, except for the lights in the elevator, everything could be said to be invisible.
The man walked in from the darkness, holding on to the wall as he walked, his body swaying, his face rosy. He was carrying a bottle in his hand and a flashlight in the other hand. As he walked, he muttered "This Why is the elevator so slow..."
"A drunkard?"
After seeing this man's appearance, Xiao Jinzi realized that the man who entered the elevator was a drunkard.
Ma Tao said nothing and carefully observed this man's every move.
"Hahaha! There's no monster, right? Hahaha!"
The drunkard who entered the elevator lay down next to the button of the elevator door and raised the bottle of wine in his hand to take a few sips. But the next second he found that there was no wine in the bottle, so he raised the flashlight in his hand to shine into the bottle. .
"Brother Tao?"
Xiao Jinzi suddenly shouted with joy.
"I saw it"
Ma Tao squinted his eyes and looked at the halo of light reflected by the drunkard who had just shined his flashlight on the wine bottle.
There was a wooden box at the elevator door where the drunkard came out. It was not big, only half a meter high. Their intuition told them that there must be something in that box, and it should be something good.
"This elevator...why doesn't it work?"
Because the drunk man drank too much, he reached out and tried to press the elevator button, but failed several times.
It turns out that the reason the elevator stopped on the third floor was because the drunkard kept pressing the elevator button.
"I go!"
The drunkard could press the button at any time and shut down the elevator at any time. Xiao Jinzi couldn't wait any longer, so he opened the cab door and ran over.
"Little gold!"
Ma Tao was shocked. If this was some kind of conspiracy, Xiao Jinzi could easily cause serious trouble if he rushed over like this.
