It was completely dark after returning to the ferry terminal. Xiao Jinzi had completed the repairs on the transport ship. For safety, they also blocked the No. 4 Leopard medium tank at the entrance and exit of the terminal.
I don’t know who came up with this method, but I have to say that it is a very good method. There is only one entrance and exit to the entire ferry terminal. Before, a part of it was blocked by bandit gangs. Now they use chariots to block it. The safety inside can be perfectly guaranteed. .
When the convoy returns, it only needs to move the No. 4 tank and put other vehicles in.
Looking at the time, it was almost eight o'clock at night. Everyone had not eaten anything after a whole day and night, so they simply spent the night here.
The only building on the pier should be the place where the ship owner lived before, but now it is empty. There is nothing in the house except some idle counters, but it is still relatively clean, and there are some paving on the ground. The floor bunks probably belonged to the bandits. Everyone kicked aside all the things that were useless to them in the house and cleared out a place where they could rest. This is where they will spend the night today.
There is no doubt about the safety of the closed ferry terminal, except for the threat from the sea, but the possibility is very slim.
As the saying goes, you can eat the mountain if you rely on the mountain, and you can eat the sea if you rely on the sea. Because it is close to the sea, Xiao Jinzi found a branch from nowhere, tied it with a rope, and then tied it with a small piece of compressed biscuit. Before Ma Tao and the others rushed back, He actually caught some sea creatures, but the tools in his hands were rudimentary after all. All the large sea fish ran away, and he caught some small sea fish like octopus and the like, but these were enough, at least. You can have a seafood soup.
At night, the breeze blows, and the sound of the waves becomes the best lullaby. The exhaustion of a tiring day makes people feel sleepy. Ma Tao is like this, and he doesn't even know when he fell asleep.
Until the next day, the sun was shining brightly and the sea was calm. Everyone who had packed everything was ready to return to Ire to replenish the shields and ammunition of the tank. As for the transport ship, it could only dock here temporarily.
The transport ship's activation key has been completely changed by Xiao Jinzi, and the original six-digit simple password has been changed to a terrifying 108 digits, in which numbers and letters coexist. In order to prevent brute force cracking, Xiao Jinzi also It is set that the number of times the key can be output per day shall not exceed three times. Once it is exceeded three times, it will be automatically locked and needs to wait twenty-four hours before it can be automatically unlocked and cannot be changed.
When Ma Tao asked this kid how he could remember the numerical order of up to one hundred and eight keys, the kid just smiled at him mysteriously and did not tell him.
Later, Ma Tao found out that this kid had set the key by using the pinyin of all their names and adding simple cyclic numbers from one to nine. He was simply a wizard.
The fax device has recorded the exact coordinates of Ir Town. It is not difficult to return to Ir Town. What is difficult is how to come back. The fax device will not record the coordinates of non-towns. This is immutable and no one can do anything about it. You can only rely on memory to measure with a wheel. The earlier you leave, the earlier you can return.
On the sand three kilometers outside the town of Er, a lizard stood upright, with its mouth spitting out its bright red tongue, ready to hunt. Suddenly, it turned its head and looked at the empty sand to his right. The eyes that rotated ten degrees rolled for a moment, and then the lizard straightened up its upper body and used the two legs of its lower body to quickly run towards the other side of the wall. The next second, a dazzling white light came to where the lizard had just looked. In the direction, the space seemed to be torn apart. A black main gun muzzle first appeared in the light, followed by his dark green steel body, and a light tank began to emerge. At the same time, three different tanks appeared around this tank, but their identical 115T guns were so conspicuous.
The light only lasted for less than two or three seconds, and the Zongheng convoy returning to Ir Town returned.
Ir Town is still the same, but the difference is that this time Ma Tao and the others came with a relaxed mood.
Here, not only did Ma Tao need to replenish their tanks with armor pieces, but he also had to do one more thing, which was to tell Nana about his father. Ma Tao felt that she had the right to know.
Crazy Lao Lin was not crazy, that was for sure, but he was also crazy. He used his own madness to destroy those bandits who tried to despise the dignity of a father. Obviously, at the moment when Lao Lin's family was destroyed, this man who had always been The honest man had already made up his mind to take revenge. For his revenge, he chose to pretend to be crazy. Who would compete with a madman, let alone attract other people's attention, so that he would have to pass by Wu Ge Village? There were so many minefields buried on the road, but no one found them. Lao Lin was not a coward, he was a true warrior, an out-and-out fighter, but he chose the one and only way, and there was no way to turn back. point of no return.
What else can defeat a person who can even despise death? For Lao Lin, death is not scary. What is scary is who you die with and how you die.
The tank shield is an energy body. It does not need to be assembled piece by piece like the previous armor pieces. It only needs to be recharged. A single charge can be fully charged in about thirty minutes, so now the time to replenish the armor pieces and ammunition is over. Much ahead of schedule.
The ammunition of the four tanks consumes a lot of money. It takes 360G to replenish them all. This is without using SE equipment. The price of charging the tank shield is 261G. This value is determined based on the actual situation of the tank. , so there are zeros and wholes.
The replenishment of all armored ammunition will take about an hour to complete. During this period, Ma Tao plans to go to Nana first.
Of course, no one would disagree with his proposal when he told it to others. Once everyone gathered together, they simply went to the bar to relax for a short while and drink a few drinks.
Passing through the isolation pier that isolates vehicles, and then walking through the market, we arrived at the bar in Iyer Town.
The familiar environment is still so beautiful. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Ma Tao and the others came in the morning. The whole bar was a mess last night and no one has cleaned it up. There are a few drunkards who probably didn't go back all night. Lying down on the bar table and sound asleep.
"I'll go backstage and have a look"
Ma Tao looked around and didn't see the dancer named Nana, guessing that she hadn't come so early, or she was backstage.
"Go ahead and let's find a place to satisfy our cravings."
Gao Han waved directly to Ma Tao and told him to go about his business and ignore them.
"Can you drink it so early?"
Ma Tao was also convinced by this elder sister and wanted to have a drink or two early in the morning.
"Just go and do your business, why do we care?"
Gao Han rolled his eyes at him.
Ma Tao shook his head, looked at the stage and saw that there was no one there, and walked onto the stage directly.
Everyone likes to take shortcuts. It is much more convenient to go directly from the stage to the backstage, and no one is watching. But to do this, you must first be thick-skinned, and your movements must be fast, so that others cannot react. It's time to sneak in quickly.
Maybe Ma Tao and the others came too early. There were only two people in the backstage of the bar, but luck was better for Ma Tao. There was a dancer named Nana. They were sitting on the dressing table eating breakfast at the moment. For Ma Tao's sudden intrusion made both of them look surprised.
"It's you?"
Fortunately, Nana had some impressions of Ma Tao, and Ma Tao's intrusion did not make her scream.
"I'm here to find you"
Ma Tao saw Nana without makeup at a glance, and then said with a very apologetic look in his eyes: "We just came back from Wuge Village."
"Did you really go to Songless Village?"
Nana was very surprised when she heard this. She didn't even eat. She stood up, looked at Ma Tao anxiously and asked, "Have you... seen my father?"
Ma Tao nodded and looked at the girl opposite him who was almost the same age as him. When the words came to his lips, he really didn't know how to speak to her.
"What happened?"
The sensitive dancer Nana sensed a hint of bad information from Ma Tao's eyes.
"We killed Varu..."
Ma Tao decided to tell her bit by bit from the better things first.
"Varu is dead?"
Nana looked at Ma Tao in disbelief. She didn't quite believe that the man in front of her really had the strength to kill the bandit Varu who was causing trouble to Wuge Village.
The girl who seemed to be named Barry who was also here was extremely shocked when she heard this. Although she and Nana have not known each other for a long time, they are very close to each other and have talked about almost everything during this time. She was extremely afraid of the cruel methods and terrifying strength of those bandits. Now hearing such a man who was a few years older than herself said that he had killed the bandit leader Varu completely refreshed her knowledge.
"Varu is not dead, I let him go..."
Then, Ma Tao narrated the whole incident to Nana. When he told Nana about his father hiding explosives behind the family portrait and detonating the explosives, Nana would have burst into tears. If it weren't for her best friend Ba Leigh has been comforting her and giving her support. It is not impossible that this girl will not be able to accept it and even collapse on the spot.
When Ma Tao finished telling the whole story, Nana felt much better. She just sat there with dull eyes, blinking from time to time because she could no longer cry anymore.
"I'm sorry... I just think you have the right to know this..."
Ma Tao guessed that this would be the case. This was human nature, but it was quite uncomfortable to see a helpless and weak woman feeling helpless and lonely without any relatives in this world. Fortunately, she still had A good bestie.
"Okay, it's time for me to go. I came here to tell you this. Don't worry, Gomez can't escape either. The strongest bounty hunter Red Wolf is already looking for their stronghold over there. , the hatred of your family..."
At this point, Ma Tao didn't know what to say. He didn't want to mention the girl's sadness.
"Really? This damn thing Varu"
Although the dancer Nana's expression was still a little dull, her thinking was not chaotic. When she heard what Ma Tao said, she quickly stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes and then said: "Thank you."
After controlling her emotions, the dancer Nana continued: "Actually, I have never looked down on or resented my father. None of this happened is our fault. Thank you for telling me this news. In this way, my father will also be able to rest in peace." Thank you, Ma Tao"
As she spoke, the dancer Nana stood up and was about to kneel down. How could Ma Tao let this happen? He was not used to the custom of people in this world kneeling down at every turn, so he stretched out his hand to stop Nana's behavior.
"What are you doing? I am a bounty hunter and a warrior. No matter it is a monster or a bad guy, they are all my targets."
After Ma Tao helped Nana up, he quickly let her sit back on his chair and winked at Barry beside him. This girl was very smart and quickly took over Ma Tao's position, letting her support Nana. .
Nana knew that Ma Tao would not let her kneel down, and she also saw that Ma Tao was not interested in her beauty, but she also wanted to repay Ma Tao. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, and she reached out and took out something from her body. He took a look at the thing, then handed it to Ma Tao and said, "This is my idea, you're welcome. Although I don't know what this thing is, someone gave me 5,000 before and I didn't sell it."
When Ma Tao saw what Nana took out from him, his head immediately banged.
He was too familiar with this thing. Not only was he familiar with it, I believe Gao Han was even more familiar with it.
Nana was holding a small metal box in her hand. When she opened it in front of Ma Tao, it contained a sealed tube of injection. The name of this thing was - Bugle!
"How come you have this thing?"
Ma Tao's inner shock at this time could no longer be described in words, but now he especially wanted to know how Nana could have the bugle potion.
"I don't know exactly where it came from. My father told me that it was given to him by a bounty hunter he rescued a long time ago who was covered in wounds and dying. It was said to be very expensive. Later, a caravan offered 5000G. My father did not sell it. , this thing is of no use to me, so I’ll give it to you.”
After saying that, Nana directly closed the small metal box containing the bugle potion and handed it to Ma Tao's hand.
"Do you know the name of that bounty hunter?"
Ma Tao looked at the bugle potion in his hand and looked thoughtful.
With the bugle potion in his hand, this person is most likely Gao Han's brother, Gao Leng, the peak silver bounty hunter. But how could Gao Leng appear in Wuge Village with scars all over his body and still dying? Also, if Gao Leng is a person, what about his chariot?
"Can't remember..."
Nana shook her head.
"Do you know where this bounty hunter went?"
Nana still shook her head, feeling very sorry for not being able to help Ma Tao.
Ma Tao is very disappointed. Gao Leng has always been an important clue for Ma Tao to find the whereabouts of Zaishanwan. Kacharu's notes are very clear. He also came to resurrect his wife, Gao Han and Gao Han, for Zaishanwan. Leng's mother, if she is really cold, then there is absolutely no way that he would appear here for no reason, and he is still dying. What on earth has he experienced?
Ma Tao was thinking about these contradictions that troubled him, but someone helped him unintentionally.
"Nana, didn't you say that the bounty hunter came here by accident through some special teleportation?"
The dancer Ba Li, who had been listening to the conversation between the two of them, said something that made Ma Tao turn his eyes to her instantly, but soon his eyes turned to Nana.
"I'm not very sure about this. My father only mentioned it accidentally, as if he said something about Yoshida..."
"Yoshida Life Research Institute"
Ma Tao's eyes were solemn, and he said what she wanted to say before Nana could finish her words.
"Yes, this is the institute."
Nana nodded quickly, and then asked in confusion: "How do you know what kind of research institute this is?"
"Did your father tell you how to get to this institute?"
The question that Ma Tao is most concerned about now is how to enter the Yoshida Life Research Institute. At this moment, his heart is already in turmoil. Being able to get such important news from Nana's mouth is really beyond his expectation. He is extremely lucky now. I came here today.
"I remember... it seemed like it was a place where you had to go through some kind of teleportation to get to the end. Yes, you had to go through teleportation."
The solemn look on Ma Tao's face told Nana that this matter must be very important to him, so she thought about it carefully and confirmed.
"Teleport?"
This statement is consistent with all the news about his previous Tao, but how to transmit this? Where to send? Is there any specific time and place? These are all questions. Ma Tao has been teleported many times. The more he knows, the more confused he becomes.
"Thank you... This information is very important to me... I have accepted the things and I'm leaving."
If you don’t understand, don’t think about it for now. Ma Tao held the bugle potion in his hand and thanked him sincerely.
"Goodbye, great warrior"
Barry waved goodbye to Ma Tao.
"goodbye……"
Looking at Ma Tao who had turned around and left, Nana said quietly.
If nothing happens, Nana, a brave girl, will be reborn. Although she has lost her family and is helpless, Ma Tao is not worried about her.
This girl was able to bravely leave the chaotic Songless Village and cross the crisis-ridden grassland to come to the town of Er. This is enough to show her inner strength and courage. Nana is not a girl who will give up on herself, she is a good girl. , I hope she can be happy in the future.
After meeting Gao Han, Xiao Jinzi and the others at a card bag in the bar, Ma Tao told Gao Han the news he had just learned, because there was no one in the bar at this time, and several cleaning guys came out. There were not many drunkards who had drunk too much last night. In addition, they were all far away from them, so Ma Tao did not shy away, but his voice was deliberately lowered.
After hearing that his brother had been to Wuge Village, Gao Han's curved eyebrows instantly raised, and when he heard Ma Tao mention the Yoshida Life Research Institute, his expression became even more cautious.
"Does it have to be reached through teleportation? Doesn't this research institute exist in the four-dimensional space?"
Xiao Jinzi's idea is very imaginative, but there is only one explanation that can explain why so many people in this research institute cannot be found, and they have to go through teleportation to get in and out.
The space we live in is a three-dimensional space. Although we live in a three-dimensional space, all we can see is a two-dimensional plane. When two eyes cross from different directions, the overlap of two planes observed at different distances creates the ability to judge distance. Three-dimensional vision, because human eyes can only see three dimensions, so it is difficult to explain more than three dimensions.
To put it simply, one-dimensional space is a line with only length, while two-dimensional space is composed of countless one-dimensional spaces to form a surface, and three-dimensional space is composed of countless two-dimensional spaces to form a three-dimensional space. In addition to one-dimensional space and two-dimensional space , three-dimensional space, and a fourth-dimensional space refers to time.
The so-called four dimensions are logically formed by the combination of countless three-dimensional spaces. However, based on our current knowledge, it is difficult to imagine what countless three-dimensional spaces can form. You can imagine the two-dimensional cartoons we watch. We can see that they are moving on a plane, but they do not know or know what the three-dimensional space we are in is like, just like we do not know what the four-dimensional space is like. , maybe creatures in the four-dimensional space are watching our movements in the three-dimensional space.
This sounds very weird, but don’t doubt it, this is science. When humans are ignorant of everything, they are often afraid of the unknown. But when humans decipher the relationship and method, they will find that in fact, these observations What seems to be a very magical thing is nothing more than that, just like how humans conquered fire and thunder and lightning, and are now able to perfectly utilize the laws involved.
Koganeko's hypothesis sounds exaggerated, but if this Yoshida Life Research Institute is really something based on four-dimensional space, this will clearly explain why so many people have not found it, and it also perfectly explains Explaining why everyone who enters and exits this research institute must do so through teleportation, because the two are not in the same world at all.
but!
Is this possible!
A research institute built on an unknown world?
But then again, if the dying bounty hunter is really Gao Han's brother, then the Yoshida Life Research Institute is very likely to really exist. Otherwise, where did Gao Leng suffer such serious injuries? ?
In any case, it is enough for Ma Tao to have news about the real existence of the Yoshida Life Research Institute, because it is rumored that the Regeneration Pill is in that research institute. Since this place really exists and Gao Leng can find it, then he will definitely be able to find it. You can find it, this is Ma Tao's confidence.
Su Lanxi.
Wait for me, maybe... soon.
Everyone went straight to the chariot supply point, and the delay in the bar plus the back and forth took a full two hours.
