After retrieving the chariot, everyone purchased some daily necessities at the market in Ir Town. After some delay, they were ready to set off when everything was almost ready, trying to get back to Wuge Village as soon as possible.
"Did you see it? Those chariots were filled with warriors who taught Varu a lesson."
"Really? They are very powerful if they can kill bandit leaders."
"I guess everyone in Wuge Village is grateful to them from the bottom of their hearts right now, right?"
I didn't expect that the dancer Ba Li would speak so quickly. How long has passed before and after, and now someone knows about Ma Tao killing Varu.
When they left Il Town, some people started pointing fingers at Ma Tao and his team. Of course, there was no malice in what they said. After all, killing Varu was the best proof of their strength.
"Looks like we're on fire in Erzhen."
Gao Han could hear the voices of these people talking in the car. He wanted to hear Ma Tao's thoughts on this.
"I told you that my brother Tao is the best!"
Xiao Jinzi's proud voice came from the watch.
"Are you also praising yourself?"
Being teleported, the mood was naturally very beautiful. Ma Tao felt somewhat excited and narcissistic, but this did not hinder his thinking. This kid said this as if he did not belong to the Zongheng Team.
"I...I also followed Jianguang under the wise leadership of Brother Tao."
Xiao Jinzi suddenly lacked confidence.
"You are really good at flattering people."
Gao Han, who was in minibus No. 3, suddenly thought of a very practical word.
Su Lanyu, the co-pilot, pursed his lips and smiled after hearing this, and couldn't help but agree: "Flattery... indeed...".
This time even Ma Tao was silent.
"It's actually not good to have too much of a reputation. A big tree attracts the wind."
Sister R said.
"I know"
Ma Tao nodded, knowing that his sister was worried about him.
The greater your reputation, the heavier the burden on your shoulders, and the more people will spy on you secretly. A great reputation brings not only the aura of glory and the respect of thousands of people, but also jealousy, hatred and villains. The wolf is the best proof. Until now, this man who has been running for love is still looking for his woman like crazy. Everyone can feel keenly that the person who can do this must be targeting Red Wolf's, obviously, his plan was a perfect success. To this day, there has never been any news about Red Wolf killing the bounty leader. He has always been running around. All this time, Red Wolf's The strength has always been stagnant. It is obvious that this is the enemy's purpose.
Conspiracy is a naked rogue trick. You know it is a trap but have to jump because of your fatal weakness, forcing you to move forward according to his plan. The final result is either death or torture to death. , unless you can give up that fatal weakness.
Ma Tao once watched a video, saying that a calf accidentally fell into a hunter's trap. The cow was circling around anxiously on the edge of the trap, but there was nothing that could be done about it. Time passed by, and there was no food or food in the trap. Water, the calf's spirit shrunk. Finally, the cow jumped out of the trap and pushed the calf up with her body. Amidst the sad mooing, the calf limped. The hunter left and finally returned and killed the cow.
People want to eat meat, so they hunt. The law of the jungle is that the winner is king. The cow knows that it will not survive if it jumps, but it has no choice. It is love that makes it make a choice, so it chooses to sacrifice itself, something like this There are many other things, and the survival of the fittest in nature is even more cruel than this.
Of course, it's not that Ma Tao is afraid of being remembered. It's impossible for a person to have no enemies in his life. No one can be truly kind, because others won't be as considerate as you, but a strong reputation can also scare people. Many young people have retired, so that they dare not dare to lift their beards.
The Zongheng convoy coming out of Ir Town still followed the old route and headed west first, then turned south when it saw the sea.
No matter whether you are a businessman, a mercenary, or a bounty hunter, you can't get rid of one thing: walking. One-third of a person's life is spent on the move. Whether you are using your legs or sitting in a car, you are always on the move. Moving, just like your life, is constantly moving towards the end. You can't stop even if you want to take a break, unless you choose to stand still permanently.
The busy Zongheng convoy didn’t know what happened this time. The God of Luck seemed to take good care of them. They didn’t encounter any monsters from Ir Town to the small woods where they met Li Leiting and Yao Qin. Attack, this is a strange enough situation.
"You're not planning to stay here again, are you? What? Do you really have this plan?"
Xiao Jinzi didn't like this place, especially because there were many corpses of bandits buried there. It was impossible last time, but this time it was different.
"What do you think?"
Ma Tao raised his wrist and used his watch to ask other people's opinions.
"I'm casual, I sleep in my car anyway."
Gao Han replied.
"Me too"
Su Lanyu had the same idea.
"Please, can't we change places?"
Xiao Jinzi was so upset that he almost cried.
"I really don't understand what you are thinking."
Ma Tao was helpless, and then looked at the peninsula ahead of him through the forest and said: "Then continue walking forward for a while, and come to this forest to talk."
In this way, the convoy passed by the edge of the woods.
Unexpectedly, the back of this forest is not really a peninsula, but it is somewhat similar to the landform of a peninsula. There is the sea on both sides, but one end is connected to the opposite continent, but the terrain where it is connected is too steep. , it is a majestic and difficult-to-travel mountain. I don’t know how the landform was formed. Strange peaks stand tall. Looking around, there are some places that are not suitable for cars. People need to use tools to climb over them. Unless there is a plane.
But this is indeed a relatively safe place. Both sides of the peninsula face the sea. Monsters on the sea generally cannot be brought to justice. Even if they have a large size, they are not too scary. Their combat effectiveness is even weaker, not to mention the strange mountains and rocks behind. Unless there are flying monsters, otherwise, anything that falls from such a high cliff will be smashed into cakes, and everything will be in vain. In this way, you only need to defend against the attacks of monsters located in the direction of the grassland.
Because we had just replenished a lot of daily necessities in Iyer Town, the meal in the evening was quite rich, with meat and fruits, which was an improvement.
After solving the Five Zang Temple, everyone can take a rest. After driving for nearly a day, fatigue is certain. Once you have the opportunity, you must seize the time to rest. But there is an exception for one person, and that is Xiao Jinzi. You Let this kid walk or do other things. It won't take long for this kid to start yawning, feeling sleepy, and lack of energy. But once he comes into contact with any mechanical equipment, say a chariot, as long as he sits in the driver's seat of the chariot, then this kid will It was always as if he were on stimulants, with zero fatigue value. This was strange. Maybe it was because he was always secreting adrenaline when he came into contact with the tank.
(Adrenaline is a hormone secreted by the human body. When a person experiences certain stimuli (such as excitement, fear, tension, etc.), this chemical substance is secreted, which can make the person breathe faster (providing a large amount of oxygen), and the heartbeat and Blood flow accelerates and pupils dilate, providing more energy for physical activities and allowing faster reactions. Adrenaline is a hormone and neurotransmitter released by the adrenal glands. Adrenaline increases cardiac contractility, causing the heart, liver, and The dilation of blood vessels in muscles and bones and the constriction of blood vessels in skin and mucous membranes are essential to save dying people or animals.)
The mosquitoes on the grassland were still so annoying and terrifying. Ma Tao was sitting in his chariot looking at the sea outside. Suddenly he realized that there was a piece of land on the other side of the sea.
"01, enlarge the video"
Ma Tao quickly asked the C device to enlarge the scene he saw to confirm his judgment.
The tank's C device can indeed amplify the transmitted external environment, but unfortunately, the C device they are currently equipped with can only magnify it three times, but this is enough. After the picture is magnified three times, the environment on the other side can already be magnified. He could vaguely see some, but because it was night time, Ma Tao could only clearly see the mountains on the mainland opposite, and they were still very high.
The reason why it was confirmed that the opposite side was the mainland and not an island was because Ma Tao could not see the boundary of the continent as far as he could see. Even if it was an island, it must be a quite large island.
"It seems we can only wait until dawn tomorrow and then take a closer look."
With some regret, Ma Tao sighed.
The supercomputer Noah used nuclear weapons to destroy almost all the continents on the earth. The earth is now different from the one in Ma Tao's memory, but it is precisely for this reason that Ma Tao always wonders, what is he doing? Whether he is still on the earth or not, or in other words, he is on another planet similar to the earth, but no matter what, being alive by himself is the greatest luck.
Quiet nights are rare. Noah's monster army doesn't need to sleep, but I don't know why. As long as night falls and humans don't intrude into the monster's territory, it's safe. At night, monsters never It's strange that he would actively attack people. Of course, there are exceptions to everything. The principle that all things are interdependent is an unchanging rule.
After a night of silence, the next day, the Zongheng team, which had been adjusted to the best condition, set off for the first time, because this time the goal was clear, the route had been traveled, and the route in memory was still there, but today's luck was I no longer felt attached to them, and after walking less than a hundred miles, I encountered a monster, and it was a big one.
Two giant hippos.
A body as strong as a hill, a light yellow metal shell, four short and very thick thighs, a huge hippopotamus mouth open, the two giant hippos made a sound like muffled thunder as soon as they sensed the intrusion of an uninvited guest. roar.
From the plains to the mountains, two giant hippos will use their power to educate the enemies who approach their territory.
When it comes to whether giant hippopotamuses are easy to detect in advance, the answer is of course yes. If you can't see such a big thing, you are either blind or blind, but giant hippos are almost invisible when no humans intrude into their territory. They like to lie there. Sometimes there are grass growing on these monsters. When they lie there, they look like a big bag of dirt. After all, the amount of energy required to drive such a huge body every moment is not a small amount. , I didn’t know until the moment this bumpkin moved that he was such a monster.
Ma Tao also made this mistake. At this moment, he was busy on his way. Monsters like giant hippos had rough skin and thick flesh and it was very difficult to fight. If possible, Ma Tao would definitely not choose to fight this thing.
From a distance, he saw two large mounds appearing on the grassland, but he didn't pay attention. There were overgrown grass on them. He thought the two mounds had always been there until the two mounds moved. C Device After sensing the appearance of Noah's monster, Ma Tao realized that the mound was a giant hippopotamus.
When Noah's mechanical monster is not moving or in a dormant state, the C device of all tanks cannot sense it. It can only be driven when the monster chip G in the brain of Noah's mechanical monster issues instructions. Only then will radio signals belonging to Noah's mechanical monster appear in the surrounding area.
Two giant hippos had already gotten up. Although Ma Tao was in a hurry, he didn't want to run away.
"Xiao Jinzi, Gao Han, you two are on the left, and my sister and I are on the right!"
Decisively choosing to divide his troops into two groups, Ma Tao turned right and at the same time launched a main gun strike like the giant hippopotamus A on the right.
A light yellow shield appeared, and Giant Hippo A was unharmed. It opened its huge mouth, and a cannon protruded from the mouth, and launched a counterattack against the human who dared to attack him.
The convoy was divided into two teams, hoping to separate the two giant hippos, but the two monsters didn't seem to want to disperse. They were completely indifferent to Ma Tao and the others being dispersed. More importantly, Ma Tao didn't know if he had bad luck today. , the big cannon in the giant hippo B's mouth actually launched an attack on Ma Tao's No. 1 tank.
The two monsters set their sights on Ma Tao's No. 1 Mosquito light tank.
The attack power of the giant hippo's mouth cannon is about the same as the 115T cannon currently equipped on several tanks. With the tank's defensive power, Ma Tao's No. 1 light tank will have to lose about forty or fifty shields to withstand the next attack. The energy value is neither too much nor too little.
"Brother Tao, are you attracted by these two big hippos?"
Xiao Jinzi said half-jokingly while driving, and then pressed his main gun button.
With a bang, the cannonball flew out and hit the giant hippo but was still offset by the shield.
"I may have beaten its relatives, but you have forgotten that we have killed many mechanical hippos!"
Ma Tao thought of the mechanical hippos he encountered near Rock. They were both hippopotamuses. Maybe these two monsters were really related. Thinking of this, Ma Tao even laughed. He took advantage of the time to chat and use his skills to automatically load the main gun. The 15-inch secondary machine gun equipped on the vehicle gave these two idiots who actually planned to chase them a chance. But unfortunately, the power of the 15-inch machine gun secondary gun was not enough to penetrate the shield defense of the giant hippopotamus, and it was basically ineffective. Well, the giant hippopotamus A hit by the 15-meter machine gun didn't even open its shield. It only withstood the attack with its thick metal shell.
"I'll try too!"
As soon as Gao Han and Sister R's main gun fire attack ended, Xiao Jinzi saw Ma Tao actually using the secondary gun to hit the hippopotamus. On a whim, he also controlled the secondary gun laser on his car to try it. Although the result was It stirred up the giant hippo's shield, but it probably didn't cause much damage.
Of course, this is not to say that laser weapons are not easy to use, but that some of the ones they are equipped with now are that in the era of future technology, light weapons, sonic weapons, ions, particles, and molecular nuclear fission weapons are the focus of war weapons, but No matter what kind of weapon, it needs to have a certain power to condense enough energy. It is like a needle. It cannot kill a person even if it is sharp, but it is enough to kill an ant.
"Be careful and don't get distracted."
You don't need to guess to know that the power of the secondary artillery is definitely not enough to deal with such a big player. Gao Han snorted when he saw that the two of them still had time to talk nonsense, and drove out of the battle circle.
Gao Han in the No. 3 car felt much more relaxed now. After driving the car to a sufficient distance from the two giant hippos, he didn't have to worry about anything else and just fired at their huge bodies. Ma Tao Xiaojinzi And Sister R dragging these two monsters is enough.
Don't be too anxious when fighting monsters like giant hippos. Once their shields are blown, their bodies will be too hard to withstand the continuous blows of artillery fire. Victory will come sooner or later.
Forty minutes later, these two giant hippos were completely glorious. After removing exactly 600G of chips, these two piles of scrap metal could only be thrown here and waited to be collected by Noah or slowly rusted away. Time corrodes, it will be a very long process.
Ma Tao suffered the most from killing these two giant hippos. Just as Xiao Jinzi said, these two giant hippos faced off against Ma Tao today. The shield that was originally at full 1700 was suddenly reduced to 1198. /1700, a loss of 500 energy points. As for the others, they all suffered no losses at all. They are still the same as they were when they came out of Ir Town.
The road continued, and some Noah command vehicles and Noah vehicle-mounted cannons were blown up along the way, which meant that their tanks lost some negligible tank shields.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy finally returned to Wuge Village again.
Originally, Ma Tao planned to go directly to the ferry terminal, but he still had one thing to solve, and that was about the V24 engine that Bilson mentioned.
They are about to take a boat to another continent. Ma Tao does not have the strength to upgrade all their tanks to the best, but he is not willing to let go of any opportunity. After all, this v24 is his. deserve to be paid.
As soon as the Zongheng convoy appeared at the entrance of Wuge Village, someone reported to Bilson in the village.
At this moment, Ma Tao appeared again. Bilson was not stupid and could naturally guess why Ma Tao came back. But at this moment, he was still a little reluctant to let go.
When Ma Tao and others entered Wuge Village, they did not drive their chariots in, but stopped at the entrance to the village.
Now in Wuge Village, some villagers in groups of three or three can be seen active outside, collecting all resources that can be recycled and reused. However, there are still many heavily armed people carefully guarding every corner of Wuge Village.
"Spare me, I don't mean any harm!"
"Let me go. I am a bandit who was forced to become a bandit. I have never harmed anyone!"
Some bandits who were picked out from various places by Pilsen's people were unarmed and escorted on their way. These frightened bandits wailed and prayed for forgiveness.
The demise of Varu caused all bandits to completely lose their sense of resistance, but they are bandits, where can people like them go? There is no town that can take them in. If they are alone, they may encounter the Noah monster and be killed. Humans cannot return, and the monsters will not take them in. Thinking about it this way, these guys are quite pitiful, but this is their own fault. The day I chose to become a bandit, I should have imagined this outcome today.
Ma Tao doesn't want to worry about what will happen to these bandits in the future, because he still doesn't know what his own fate will be like in the future.
Bilson and his men met Ma Tao in a bar. There was no trace of a bandit in this bar anymore, but the people were deserted. The bar owner, the middle-aged man, saw Ma Tao. Tao was so excited at that moment that he couldn't say anything, and his daughter was also there, helping to clean up the bar that had been ruined by bandits.
When Ma Tao came in, there were many women in the bar, and there were many yellow explosive rings that had been removed on the ground. It was probably that these poor women had just been given freedom, but how could the memory of being tortured by bandits be obtained so quickly? Forget it, many women still look dazed even after the explosive rings around their necks are removed. Their spirits have been tortured to the point of collapse. It takes time for them to recover slowly, but physically After recovering from their injuries, what to do with their psychological injuries? How these women will face their future lives is quite troublesome. Ma Tao can only sigh in response.
"Look, that's the warrior who killed those gangsters."
"I heard that as soon as the bandits' heads were captured, they ran away for their lives."
There were people talking around, and countless eyes focused on the three Ma Tao people who entered the bar.
Because the chariot cannot be empty, Su Lanyu and Sister R were left to watch the chariot.
"Welcome back, our hero"
Bilson forced a smile on his face.
He had heard what those people around him said just now. Now Ma Tao was a great hero that everyone respected, and he was really in trouble.
