Not only can you easily observe the surrounding environment through a high-altitude bird's-eye view, you can also perfectly avoid upcoming dangers, discover obstacles and avoid routes in advance.
The convoy changed from the front to the rear. This time, Jeep No. 2 driven by my sister took the lead. Following the No. 2 car, the convoy began to move toward the low-rise area they had seen at the foot of the mountain.
Why is it said that if there is a human gathering place in this abandoned place, it will be in that low-rise area? The reason is naturally because although high-rise buildings can achieve the purpose of climbing, they are not suitable for living. The taller the building, the easier it is for Noah to pay attention. It's okay to hide a small number of humans, but it's impossible to become a gathering place. As long as there are people, there will inevitably be human activities. They can be easily discovered on high-rise buildings, so high-rise buildings are only suitable for lurking and watching. It's impossible to live in that low building. It's right in the middle surrounded by various high-rise buildings. It should have been an old city that hasn't been renovated. Human beings can hide there. One way, they can use the surrounding abandoned high-rise buildings as cover, and the other is The reason is that monsters can easily lose their way after entering.
Ma Tao and the others have the Eye in the Sky, which is the aircraft controlled by their sister. This is air superiority.
Sure enough, when the convoy passed through the railway in the middle of the city, my sister's aircraft arrived early to attack.
A bullet flew almost close to the edge of my sister's aircraft. There was no sound of gunfire around. It was obvious that the other party used a silencer.
The moment she was attacked, my sister turned her perspective to the location where she was attacked.
On the roof of a building, a man carrying a heavy sniper rifle hurriedly picked up the things around him and hid in the stairs, disappearing into the darkness of the corridor.
"I was attacked, but it probably wasn't intentional. Maybe they thought I was Noah's monster."
Sister did not choose to fight back against such an attack. The other party had already shown mercy. The bullet deliberately did not hit her aircraft directly. Everyone who was selected for the sentry post must be a smart, brave and resourceful person. This kind of error is absolutely impossible, which means that the other party deliberately missed the shot. Obviously he is not sure whether the machine moving in the sky is Noah's monster. This behavior can not only test whether the aircraft is Noah's monster Minion, if not, this deliberately missed shot can also remind the other party not to offend the other party too much, so this sniper is smart in doing this.
"is that OK?"
Ma Tao didn't hear the gunfire, but he still hurriedly asked.
"The other party didn't attack me directly, he was testing me."
The sister calmly lowered the height of the aircraft and kept it hovering directly above the convoy, or even suspended, so that the other party who saw the aircraft could also spot the convoy below.
Sure enough, she was not attacked, but after such a long bird's-eye view, her sister also roughly observed the general situation of this abandoned city.
There is only one road in and out of the low-rise building, and the rest of the roads are either blocked by various obstacles or riddled with holes from bombs, making it impossible for vehicles to pass through. This indirectly proves the possibility that the low-rise building is a gathering place for humans. Judging from the warning they just received, their guess should be correct.
After walking along this only road for about two or three kilometers, an obstacle appeared directly in front of the convoy for the first time.
The obstacles are some simple triangular wooden stakes wrapped with barbed wire to resist the horses. This kind of thing cannot be made by Noah. It must be a person. However, Ma Tao and the others found no traces of people around here, and they were not far away. There is also a red line drawn with red paint in front of the barrier. The team drove here and stopped outside the red line.
"I'll get out of the car and move it away."
My sister said something, opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
"Wait for me, I'll get out of the car too, the rest of the people are waiting in the car"
Although his sister is a robot and has a memory alloy body, Ma Tao is still worried. It would be fine if the opponent is a monster, but the opponent must be a human being, and humans are notoriously cunning and difficult to deal with.
"No, don't worry, nothing can hurt me."
My sister replied with a smile.
"That won't work either. I'm the captain. You have to wait for me. Let's go out together."
Ma Tao's attitude was very strong, and his sister had no choice but to stand beside the jeep and wait for Ma Tao.
When he got off the bus, Ma Tao still held a metal detector in his hand.
"Brother, it's not like that"
Xiao Jinzi felt that Ma Tao must have been psychologically affected by the incident at the ferry pier.
"Caution is the boat"
As Ma Tao spoke, he turned on the metal detector in his hand. This detection really made his brows jump.
The road the convoy was driving on was very wide. It should be the city's main road, nearly twenty meters wide. It was originally a suet road. After years of damage and polishing, the original appearance of this road can no longer be seen. There were sandy roads in many places. The wooden roadblocks in front of their convoy were lined with many old chariot wrecks. In order to make these wrecks more solid, they were poured with concrete. They were absolutely solid, even with cannons. If you go for a bombardment, you probably won't be able to open a breach even if you don't even have a moment.
Ma Tao's detector showed that there were at least five or six suspicious points in the distance of more than 50 meters long and 20 meters wide between their convoy and the roadblock.
"There's really something..."
Ma Tao discovered from the display of the detection instrument that the metal objects in the ground left an S-shaped curve from the red line to the obstacle, which was just wide enough for vehicles to pass.
"No way? It really makes me say..."
Seeing Ma Tao's face outside the car, Xiao Jinzi's mouth was ticking, and she secretly regretted that she really had a crow's mouth.
"It seems so"
Gao Han joked.
"Sister, come with me"
As he spoke, Ma Tao called Sister R and planned to pass through this minefield together.
"stop!"
Just when they were about to walk over, a group of people suddenly walked out from both sides of the obstacle. The leader was a man in his forties with a flat nose. The words 'stop' just came from his mouth.
The weapons and equipment of this group are very good. Many of them are wearing copper clothes and claws, and the weapons are also good. They have everything from platoon guns to rifles. They also see the shadow of grenade launchers among these people. The firepower is strong enough. Yes.
“Finally someone came out”
Ma Tao knew that there was no need to force my way in this time. He was saying that he didn’t want me to force my way in at all.
"We are human beings and mean no harm"
Putting down the metal detector in his hand, Ma Tao raised his hands to show that he was not carrying a weapon. Indeed, he had put the flame cannon on the car. He was not here to fight, so there was no need to carry a weapon. Besides, there was R With my sister here, I can basically guarantee my own safety.
"Are you bounty hunters or mercenaries?"
The leader, the flat-nosed man, carried a strange weapon and shouted with a broken loudspeaker in his hand. The sound coming out of the broken loudspeaker was accompanied by an unstoppable sizzling sound of electricity.
"We are bounty hunters, I am Ma Tao!"
It is normal to make necessary inquiries when entering and exiting every town, and Ma Tao did not hide it.
“Check this person out”
Tub Nose whispered to the person next to him, and saw that person quickly take out a device with a transparent middle and input on it for a while. Soon, he and Tub Nose nodded.
"Let them in"
After confirming Ma Tao's information, Flat Nose waved to the men around him. Immediately, several tall men ran to lift the roadblocks. Four people lifted one and moved it to both sides. A large enough man came out from the middle. The distance traveled by the chariot.
"Hey! That Ma Tao, didn't you just use the metal detector? Just go over there!"
The flat nose recognizes the metal detector, and they don't bother to let anyone guide them, so they just go back.
Since he is a human, there is nothing to say. Solu welcomes any human to come.
"Wait a moment!"
As soon as Ma Tao saw that this buddy was leaving, how could he do it? He still had something to say, otherwise he would be in vain, so he immediately shouted loudly.
The flat-nosed man paused after hearing this, then turned to look at Ma Tao, and raised the broken horn in his hand with some dissatisfaction, "What's going on!"
"Please, I would like to ask, has any convoy entered before us?"
To determine whether people from the Creation Alliance are here, Ma Tao's question is very important.
"Another one is coming for the armored vehicle..."
The flat nose ignored Ma Tao's words, muttered to himself, turned around and left again.
"Wait a minute! I don't know what armored vehicle you are talking about. I just want to know if there was a strange gray bus that went in before us?"
Ma Tao was confused and had no idea why there was an armored vehicle here, but he couldn't just let him go before he answered his question.
Hearing what Ma Tao said, Flat Nose stopped again, came back to his senses again, looked at Ma Tao thoughtfully, then looked at the chariots behind him, and then said doubtfully: "You Have a grudge against those guys from the Creation Alliance?"
"No"
Ma Tao answered decisively.
Speaking of hatred, Zongheng Racing Team and the Creation Alliance have never had any hatred. Such trivial matters are not considered hatred at all, but they must have happened. But people asked whether there was hatred, not whether they had. Of course, enmity and guilt are two different things, so Ma Tao could directly answer no with a clear conscience.
This is only one of the reasons. The other reason is that Ma Tao still doesn't know what kind of relationship the people here have with the Creation Alliance. It is not a wise choice to rashly say that he has hatred against them.
"Yes, just yesterday, a strange vehicle, two medium tanks and a light tank entered Solu Town at the same time."
After saying this, the flat-nosed man ignored Ma Tao, turned around and left with a few of his men.
It turns out this place is called Solu.
Ma Tao, who was still standing in front of the red line, thought for a while, then looked at each other and said: "Let's go into Solu Town."
"You can't park randomly after entering the town. The only parking place is at the tank supply point. There is a large parking lot there, and all the cars are parked there."
When passing the roadblock, a guard knew that Ma Tao and the others were coming to Solu for the first time, so he shouted loudly at the tanks driving past him. He knew that the people in the car who were speaking so loudly were People can definitely hear it.
Solu, formerly known as Solucheng, is a large-scale development city that integrates commerce, industry, and agriculture. There are many high-rise buildings and dense factories. You can imagine how much automation is needed here. As Noah launched the big Destruction, in an instant, Solu suffered a disaster. All the automatic and mechanized equipment began to destroy humans and demolished the high-rise buildings that humans had built for them. In just a few days, the entire Solu was completely destroyed. , collapsed high-rise buildings, blazing fires, and thick smoke billowing into the sky, all of this turned Solu into a ghost place on the side of hell. However, as time went by, after Teng's initial crackdown, Nuo The monster army controlled by Noah began to withdraw from such key city ruins bit by bit. The wandering humans saw hope. Compared with the wilderness with nothing, cities are obviously more suitable for humans, even if they were destroyed by Noah. The City of Ruins also has many supplies that are indispensable to human beings. Especially in the beginning, there are many supplies that can be collected in the city, such as food, clothes, and daily necessities. Even if Noah is strong, it is impossible to destroy them. There was not a grain of food or a pencil, so there were still a lot of supplies that could be collected in the city. Slowly, Solu began to gather the population again. In order to prevent Noah from being noticed, humans completely gave up their original plans in the city. Instead of those high-rise buildings built in the middle of the city, they specifically looked for low-rise buildings to live in, and then built protective facilities. In this way, the original old urban areas in the city became the most ideal place for human habitation. Lu City was renamed Solu Town. In a blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed. The current buildings in Solu Town have been reinforced to the point of being impregnated with iron walls.
At first, Ma Tao and the others felt very strange when they entered the town. No one could be seen outside the entire Solu Town, and the defense form of Solu Town was also very strange, that is, each building had a separate guardrail or pile. It is a protective net. The advantage of such a separate structure is that when dealing with enemies coming to attack, it can divide the enemy into a favorable battle situation.
After all, now it seems that Solu can only be protected by the outer barrier. Once it is breached, it will directly enter the town. Although the city has become a ruined city, it still cannot change the road situation extending in all directions. Noah's large monster breaks through It is impossible to enter urban areas without being discovered, but small monsters can. For others, the pitted roads can block the wheels and tracks of chariots, but not people. Many places cannot be completely closed, so The defense is also a last resort and the most suitable defense method.
It is conceivable that once Noah's monster army really breaks into the town, all the buildings in the town will seal the entrances and rely on the protection around them to attack the invading enemies from a high position, making every building become the strongest fortress. .
There were no people on the streets of Solu Town. According to what the guard just shouted, they had to go to the chariot supply point to park the chariot first. Even if the guard didn't tell Ma Tao, he would rush to the chariot supply point as soon as possible. , because their tanks were out of ammunition and food.
Solu's tank supply point is on the second street entering the town, which can also be said to be the first building in the second row on the far west side, because the tank supply point must leave a passage for the tank to drive in. Therefore, there is a special entrance and exit for tanks on the side of this building. As soon as the convoy approaches, the rolling shutter door made of steel will automatically open. It is five or six centimeters thick. Even if an armor-piercing bullet wants to penetrate such a thick steel plate, it will be useless. It takes a lot of effort.
After entering the building, they walked through a passage made of reinforced concrete. The first thing they passed was indeed a large parking lot, but they needed to replenish supplies first and could not park directly into the parking lot.
The entire building was originally a place similar to a large shopping mall. It is estimated that the garage was originally an underground parking lot.
The chariot supply point in Solu Town is actually in the same place as the repair shop. When Ma Tao and the others arrived, there was no vehicle supply or repair here. Ma Tao was surprised. Don't people here have to go out to fight monsters? How desperate is it? Are they all wireless ammunition? Later I learned that in the past two days, someone was selling armored vehicles in front of the observation building in the middle of the town, which attracted the attention of powerful people in the entire town, including caravans, mercenaries, big bosses, bounty hunters, and even the Black Mamba. They have all sent people here. In addition to the newly arrived Creation Alliance, it can be said that the forces of all parties are very complicated and restrict each other. Therefore, during this period, few people have gone out of the city to hunt, and everyone wants to take a look. Who will this armored vehicle eventually fall into?
At this point, Ma Tao figured out why the flat-nosed guy asked them if they were here because of the armored vehicles when they entered the town.
"It seems that the people from the Creation Alliance are also here for this car."
Gao Han wore a mask to cover her vixen-like face, and she immediately understood after hearing this.
"Of course, without that sycamore tree, where would the phoenix be attracted? Solu City can be noticed by the Creation Alliance. That is also the pride of us Solu."
The young man who was preparing to calculate the supply price said with pride when he heard Gao Han's words.
"Comfortable~"
Xiao Jinzi pouted and looked in another direction. He didn't think much of this alliance, it was just a bunch of arrogant guys.
"This Creation Alliance... what kind of organization is it? It seems like you all admire it."
It's rare to meet a person who likes to chat, and the chat happened to be here. Ma Tao just planned to get some words out of this young man who was responsible for replenishing supplies for the tank.
"Where are you from? You don't even know about the Creation Alliance?"
The young man looked at the five Ma Tao people in front of him with a surprised expression. There was something in his eyes that meant he was watching a local leopard enter the city.
"To be honest, I'm not afraid of your jokes. We just came from a very far away place, and this is the first time we've heard of this organization. What do they do?"
As he spoke, Ma Tao took out cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Xiao Jinzi. Then he took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to the young man.
This guy didn't show up, so he reached out and took it, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit the cigarette, and took a puff.
From his consecutive actions, Ma Tao knew one more thing, that is, the supplies in this Solu Town should be very sufficient. The cigarettes in his hand have always been a hot commodity, but he was not surprised when he got it. There is even something to start a fire in his pocket, which shows that cigarettes are not uncommon in Solu Town. From this, it can be concluded that Solu must be very rich in supplies.
It seems that because Ma Tao gave him a cigarette, the young man had a good impression of Ma Tao. After taking two puffs, he said, "That's it. I mean, here, we don't know Noah's children." There may be, but those who don’t know the creation of the world can really die.”
This guy's words were much worse than Xiao Jinzi's. Xiao Jinzi was so angry that he was about to get angry, but was stopped by Ma Tao.
Ma Tao knew that this guy was just that kind of person, and he was also the kind of person who meant what he said without any intention of insulting others. This kind of person was garrulous at best and short-minded at worst. He would say anything and compete with others. Offending someone is not pleasing at all. There is no need to be angry with such a person. After all, Ma Tao is still pointing at him and saying what he wants. Often, most of what this kind of person says can be believed, because If you don’t believe it, he will ask you if you don’t believe it! Don’t believe it! What I said is real! ! ! For this reason, he will do everything possible to prove that what he said is true...
Immediately afterwards, Ma Tao learned bit by bit about the past and present life of the Creation Alliance from this silly boy.
It turns out that the Creation Alliance has not been established for a long time, only more than ten years, but its growth has been rapid. The reason is that it is a mysterious organization with the mission of saving all mankind. Otherwise, why would it be called Creation? .
Over the years, this is how Chuangshi has reached its current scale. It has rescued homeless children, taken in helpless women, absorbed the power of men from all over the world, and taken care of the sick elderly. Such a The organization quickly absorbed the endless resources and power in the world, and countless people rushed to join it. It can be said that they gained both fame and fortune. Because of this, almost everyone in the Creation Alliance regarded them as the divine savior wherever they went. The same people come to worship, and many people even work hard to join the Creation Alliance as a lifelong pursuit, such an organization.
"No wonder..."
Ma Tao was stunned when he heard this, and he understood why those Dawn Guardians from the Creation Alliance always looked so arrogant. They did have the qualifications and the strength.
There are two supreme leaders in the Creation Alliance, one is a general and the other is a commander. The commander they encountered before is Su Shuai. His full name is Su Xiaoshuai. However, out of respect for this person, no one dares to call him by his first name. , over time, he became known as Su Shuai.
