Ten miles from the entrance of Naduo Village...
A giant ant was wandering randomly looking left and right on the vast grassland looking for anything to eat. Suddenly, the giant ant suddenly stopped, and its dark armor-like ant shell instantly looked even more... It lit up for a while, and there was a clicking sound between the two huge jaws. The giant ant raised its head. Directly in front of it was an ant with two big round eyes staring at it. Its body is like a jelly-like killer insect.
All biological monsters are hungry. When there is no food, each other is the best food. This murderous insect and this giant ant with black and shiny carapace are about to have a life-and-death war. Not one side will be swallowed up. The other side was torn apart, the giant ant's terrifying huge jaws, the killer bug's constantly squirming body, the war was about to break out, but just when the two sides were about to fight to the death, the space in front of them suddenly shook, and the two The monsters who were just about to fight were stunned for a moment, and then without hesitation, they ran hard in opposite directions. The giant ant's extra six legs made a big difference this time. The poor killer bug had no legs and could only rely on the wriggling of its body. The movement speed is naturally much slower, but its innate shortcomings cost it its life.
A dazzling and bright white light fell from the sky, as bright as a god descending to the mortal world. The poor killer bug had just moved a distance of five or six meters when a huge steel giant pressed on it and was instantly crushed. If you eat minced meat, you can't die anymore.
The dazzling light that made people unable to open their eyes began to dissipate little by little, and the five steel behemoths slowly appeared on the faint grass. A cool breeze blew by, rolling up a few strands of yellow grass. A chilling air suddenly appeared.
Not far away, the giant ant that had a chance to escape with his life looked at the killer insect that died tragically under the steel tracks and then looked at the five tanks exuding terror that appeared on the grassland. He turned around, He ran as fast as he could towards the endless prairie behind him.
As the saying goes, an ant can still survive, let alone such a big ant.
"Go home..."
Looking at the familiar fence gate in the distance, Ma Tao sighed, feeling inexplicably tired in his heart.
"What? Let me interview you. How do you feel about returning home?"
Through the watch, Xiao Jinzi asked Ma Tao happily.
"What else can I feel? I'm homesick."
Only he knows the helplessness Ma Tao felt when he said this sentence. Home, who can know that he has two families? Ma Tao, who travels between two worlds, doesn't even know which world is the right one. It's true. Now he has gradually become accustomed to the time in front of him. Although it is also a conspiracy, it is basically clear here. Good people are good people and bad people are bad people. Don't hide it, and don't hide your sword behind your smile. Live in this world. People of time can be willful. That kind of freedom is something that I never imagined in the original time. But it is precisely because of this too unbridled freedom that everyone feels a sense of struggle. You can ignore it, as long as you have Sufficient strength, if you don't have this foundation, then you will have committed suicide early, and no one can save you.
Here, everyone is working hard in various ways, for themselves and for their loved ones.
"Why do you feel like you don't want to come back when you say this?"
Gao Han's somewhat puzzled tone came from his watch.
"Really? Why didn't I feel it?"
Ma Tao quickly recovered and adjusted his state and then answered.
"Let's go into the village"
Gao Han didn't want to study this matter anymore and asked instead.
"Let's go back to the village. I wonder what dad is doing at this time?"
Ma Tao said.
"Father should have just finished lunch at this time."
My sister suddenly added.
Yes, it was already ten minutes past noon. According to past memories, this was indeed the case.
Ma Tao started the tank, the V24 engine roared, and the No. 1 light tank tank drove towards Naduo Village in the distance.
As soon as they entered the village entrance, the fence gate slowly opened, and a small group of village guards trotted out. The leader was a young man about the same age as Ma Tao, but Ma Tao did not recognize this young man.
This group of people is basically all young people. Ma Tao still knows some of their faces, but he can't call them by their names. He has not been in this village for long, and his memories are all plundered. In addition, Now that they have been running around the world for so long, it is normal for them to have a vague impression of them. However, seeing the rifles and leather jackets and armors in the hands of these young men guarding the village, Ma Tao knew that the current Naduo Village should be a past one. Very good.
"Stand! Stop!"
The young man at the head stretched out his hand and stopped in front of the convoy, looking curiously at what these forces that could destroy their entire small village were doing in their remote mountain village.
"I'll go down, everyone wait for me in the car."
No matter what, it is better to have someone intercept you than to have no one care about you. It is normal for others to intercept you. After all, this is your home, so it is definitely better to be safe. If anyone can enter, then that is a mistake. Thao was worried.
"It's Brother V! Oh, no, his name is Ma Tao now."
"Really, I just said this chariot looks familiar."
"Go and tell everyone that Ma Tao is back!"
Opening the hatch cover, Ma Tao had just exposed half of his body when someone recognized his face.
The young man at the head obviously recognized that the man who had just jumped off the chariot was really Ma Tao, and was suddenly at a loss.
"Hello everyone, I'm back."
Unexpectedly, he was so famous in the village now. Ma Tao waved friendly to the guardians who protected the village with their lives.
In fact, Ma Tao doesn't know that everyone in Naduo Village is now proud of having Ma Tao in the village. The little V who has always been doing nothing in everyone's hearts has now grown to a height that needs to be looked up to by others. Really It is so unmatched that almost all the younger generation in the whole village take Ma Tao as their role model and it is the goal they strive for. But everyone is not very clear about one thing, that is why Xiao V changed his name to Ma Tao instead of Xiao V. , until a big businessman named Qian came to the village. He not only brought various heroic deeds of Ma Tao, but also brought a large amount of daily necessities and weapons and equipment to everyone. He also explained why Xiao V wanted to use it outside. The original name of Ma Tao was mainly to prevent their village from being remembered by some people with ulterior motives. It is precisely because of this that Naduo Village, which has always been poor, became what it is today. Although the weapons brought by the money boss The equipment is not particularly good, and most of them are equipped with long guns and short cannons, but Naduo Village is a small and peaceful village, and there are no powerful monsters around. Giant ants and killer bugs are the most common ones. Coupled with the protection of a checkpoint on the north side, this place has become a real outdoor paradise, peaceful and comfortable.
It was precisely because of the geographical environment and secrecy here that Qian Santai decided to set up his base camp here. Not only did he vigorously build civil engineering projects and engage in internal defense, but from the outside, Naduo Village was still the same Naduo Village. But the interior has undergone tremendous changes. Now, this big businessman named Qian has spent his own money to build a large parking lot near where Xiao V's family lives to park their caravan's vehicles.
At first, the village elder of Naduo Village did not want Boss Qian to act in such a high-profile manner, fearing that he would attract outsiders, which would soon expose the originally peaceful Naduo Village. However, after a few times, the village elder It was discovered that all boss Qian’s people used fax transmission when entering and exiting Naduo Village. This ensured that Naduo Village would not be exposed to the risk. Boss Qian’s subordinates were also very honest, and many of them also helped the villagers. We did farm work, and over time, after tasting it several times, we found nothing wrong with the money boss and felt relieved.
This boss Qian is naturally Qian Santai. The people who can be selected by Qian Santai to come to Naduo Village must have been carefully screened. If there is a little bit of trouble, Qian Santai will not let him know the existence of Naduo Village. Qian Santai, who started out as a businessman, knew how important a secret stronghold was. For this reason, he protected Naduo Village wholeheartedly, even more than Ma Tao himself. Now, Qian Santai All material reserves are basically placed in Naduo Village, and even his wife and children in Seoul were brought here by him. Judging from the current situation, Naduo Village has become his base and is irreversible.
Although the old village chief is old, he has a clear mind. He must have eaten more salt than others. Judging from Qian Santai's conduct and the things he has done, he can bring far greater benefits to Naduo Village. Due to the disadvantages, the old village chief, who had long seen that Qian Santai and Ma Tao had an unusual relationship, acquiesced in everything Qian Santai did in that village.
Of course Ma Tao didn't know all this, but when Ma Tao entered the village supported by the cheering young people, he was surprised to see the changes in the village.
The small mud houses in Naduo Village have been transformed into large houses with reinforced concrete structures, especially the roads in the village. Not only are they flat, but the lawns and greening can be seen at a glance that they have been carefully designed. Naduo Village is no longer the poor and dilapidated mountain village in my previous impression. It has become an environment that I don't recognize.
"this……"
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ma Tao wouldn't have believed what he saw. The changes must have been too great. He hadn't been back for nearly half a year. What happened to Naduo Village?
“Holy shit, this is much better than our Seoul city.”
Xiao Jinzi's voice came from the watch, and there was an unconcealable exclamation in his tone.
"If you look at the east side of the village, you will know what is going on."
Gao Han reminded.
"East side? What happened to the east side?"
Ma Tao was reminded, turned his head and glanced towards the east of the village, then couldn't help but smile and said: "This Qian Santai..."
To the east of Naduo Village, which is the only water source in the village, a large flag fluttered in the wind. There were so many bright and eye-catching characters on it. When he saw these two characters, Ma Tao was stunned. I knew that this must have been done by Qian Santai.
On the way into the village, Ma Tao learned that the young man who led them on duty today was called Xiao Ran. He was brought by Qian Santai. He had been in the village for half a year. Ma Tao couldn't help but admire him. Qian Santai's arrival, a person who has only been here for half a year can take on the task of guarding the village. This shows that Qian Santai has won over people's hearts in many villages over the years. Could it be that he plans to turn this place into a base camp.
Some things in the village have not changed, that is, there is no way for chariots to drive inside. Usually Ma Tao will just find a place to park, either at his father's repair shop, or at the only chariot in the village. As for the supply point, there are not many vehicles there all year round, but today five vehicles came, and the place is really not enough. According to Ma Tao's memory, at most three tanks can be parked there. Too much and I can't stop.
Unexpectedly, they followed Xiao Ran and led their five tanks to a parking lot.
"Good guy, Qian actually built a parking lot here..."
Ma Tao was really surprised when he saw this parking lot.
The parking lot is located near their home. Originally, it was supposed to be a waste iron filings treatment plant. It was said to be a treatment plant, but it was actually a large garbage dump. There were all kinds of messy things, including discarded mechanical parts and discarded engine oil. There are still a lot of household waste. Today, Qian Santai has cleared out a large area of this place and built a parking lot that can be closed. Good guy, the area is quite big.
There was someone holding a hand at the door of the parking lot, but Xiao Ran was leading the way, and with Ma Tao's face, he was basically being escorted into the parking lot, which was a very beautiful place.
“This feels so good”
Xiao Jinzi sighed in his watch with great satisfaction.
"I don't like a face that is so easily recognized by everyone."
Gao Han responded to his words and then remained silent.
"The people here are very simple. They really want to see Ma Tao achieve what he has today."
Sister R, who drives a good jeep, also chimed in.
As soon as he entered the parking lot, Ma Tao was speechless again.
Where is the parking lot? It is simply a large storage center. More than a dozen large trucks loaded with goods are parked there quietly, and more than half of the goods on the two trucks have been unloaded. I don’t know. Whatever is inside is covered by tarpaulin, and there are various items piled around it. The wooden boxes stacked several meters high are surrounded by a wall. On several parking spaces, the most conspicuous ones are There were rows of light machine guns, boxes of grenades, and single-shot rocket launchers.
"Is Qian Santai going to turn this place into a military base or something? Will this thing explode..."
Ma Tao stared at the grenade boxes stacked together on the ground and said.
“Normally not”
Xiao Ran and the two men responsible for guarding the place laughed and replied.
"Just find a place to park your car. There's plenty of space here."
One of the middle-aged men who managed the place smiled at Ma Tao when he saw that no one got off the chariots behind them.
Nodding, Ma Tao raised the watch on his hand and said, "Everyone, please find a place to park."
The left side of the entire garage is now occupied by various materials, occupying almost a quarter of the entire garage. Including those large trucks loaded with goods, a total of one-half of the space is occupied. Even so, the remaining There is enough space to stop a dozen of the largest and heaviest tanks.
"Boss Qian has saved some good treasures here."
Ma Tao couldn't help but smile when he looked at the piles of goods here. He didn't know where Boss Qian got all these things from, and he was really impressed.
Suddenly, Ma Tao's eyes were attracted by a piece of light blue in the pile of goods.
It's that chariot! It is impossible to forget such a familiar Guang Ma Tao.
He looked back at the people who had just parked the chariot and got off, especially Gao Han, and saw that they were not paying much attention to him. He was attracted by the room full of goods and hurriedly changed his seat to avoid being caught by them. I found the cold chariot here.
Although Qian Santai said that this incapable of attacking the tank was a gift from him, he couldn't make sense when he just took the vehicle away because he was not here now. He had to wait until Qian Santai came back. Thinking of this, Ma Tao turned to Xiao Ran and asked, "Does Qian Santai come back often?"
"Yes"
Xiao Ran nodded politely first, and then replied: "Boss Qian basically comes back every month. Every time he comes back, he brings some new goods, especially food, fruits and vegetables. Boss Qian said that these things It’s just for the villagers in Naduo Village.”
Although he knew that this was Qian Santai's way of winning people's hearts, Ma Tao still felt very warm in his heart.
Logically speaking, Qian Santai had no need to do this. Just because he had transformed the village so well, even if he didn't do these things, people wouldn't be able to say anything about it. They could only say that this person had a serious intention.
As the saying goes, it is probably because of seeing Qian Santai that these old village chiefs decided to entrust such important matters of guarding the village to his people to manage.
Soon, everyone got out of the car.
"Go and sit at home, I'll make delicious food for everyone."
Returning to the familiar environment, my sister turned back to her virtuous and virtuous side and greeted everyone warmly.
"Great, I just want to take a good rest. I want to occupy my brother Tao's room!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinzi stretched out quickly, showing that he was very tired now.
"My room hasn't been occupied for so long. It's probably full of dust. If you like, go ahead and let's stay in a hotel."
Ma Tao looked at him and smiled helplessly.
"No, father will clean it up often."
Sister R said something.
"Then let's go"
Gao Han said.
"Remember to tell me when Qian Santai comes back."
Ma Tao told Xiao Ran next to him and then took a few people to go home to see and talk to him. This time, what he wanted to see most was not his father but Su Lanxi lying in the ice coffin. But he couldn't talk about it. He had to go to see Su Lanxi first. Everyone had just come back. Ma Tao didn't want everyone to lose their relaxed mood and become depressed because of his own affairs, but there was one person who was probably also following him. He had the same idea, that was Su Lanxi's sister Su Lanyu.
Ma Tao noticed her silence from the moment she got out of the car. She rarely spoke since she saw Zheng Zhen in Solu. Now she is even more silent and follows everyone wherever they go.
When you are famous, you will attract attention no matter where you go. No, as soon as you came out of the parking lot, a large group of village children swarmed around them, just because they don’t know much about Ma Tao. The people who came back were some strangers. The children did not dare to get close. They all gathered around them to see what their hero looked like. But unfortunately, the children's eyes quickly changed from Ma Tao's face. It moved onto the faces of both Gao Han and Su Lanyu.
Returning to Naduo Village is equivalent to returning home. Neither Gao Han nor Su Lanyu brought anything to cover their faces, so their enchanting and charming looks quickly attracted the attention of the children. past.
Children are always the most attractive to beautiful things. Children have the purest eyes and the kindest hearts.
Not only these children also came, but also many villagers whom Ma Tao knew. The old village chief grandfather was actually helped to come. This made Ma Tao feel very sad. He originally thought he was just coming back to take a look, but he didn't expect that Ma Tao was very embarrassed to have alarmed so many people and came to see him in such a big way.
Facing the villagers' greetings, Ma Tao really felt warm in his heart. After sending the old village chief away, everyone had some time to themselves and hurried back.
Dad's repair shop has basically not changed much. The familiar equipment and familiar things, including the tools, are still placed in the same positions that have not changed in ten thousand years.
"I'm home"
Ma Tao's return to the village was so vigorous that his father could not have known that he was his own son. He was proud to have such a great future, but he was stubborn and did not choose to go to the village entrance to see his son immediately. , but just stay here.
"Um……"
Facing Xiao V's stern father, Ma Tao has managed to face it calmly.
"Father……"
Sister R, who was standing behind Ma Tao, took a step forward, looked at their father and smiled.
Gao Han, who followed them, stretched out his hand to slap Xiao Jinzi, said softly, "Let's go~" and then led him and Su Lanyu straight upstairs.
It's not easy for a family to be together as a father and son, so don't join in the fun while you're waiting for others.
"Aren't you going to go home and take a look?"
When going up to the second floor, Gao Han looked at Xiao Jinzi and asked.
"I want to give them a surprise when I go back in two days."
Thinking of happy things, Xiao Jinzi smiled expectantly.
