Solu City...
This once prosperous city has now come to an end and is thickly covered by the dust of time. The tall observation building stands majestically. Even if no one lives there, this iconic building still looks better than the collapsed ones around it. The buildings that didn't collapse were much newer.
A convoy consisting of three tanks and a Chinese-Pakistani ambulance stopped about two or three kilometers away from the ruined city of Solu. This is the teleportation location set by Ma Tao, because teleporting away from the town can ensure sufficient safety. The town is so big that it is basically impossible to teleport at the same time as other teams at the same teleport point.
"Aren't we going in? Why are we just staring at the building in a daze?"
Gao Han has been sitting on the seat looking at Solu City on the screen for a while. Ma Tao has parked the car there and hasn't moved since the transmission. He doesn't know what this guy is doing in the car. I don't know what he is waiting for. If he keeps waiting, Gao Han's patience will be exhausted, so he plans to ask.
"Yeah, we've been parked here for five minutes. What are we waiting for?"
Xiao Jinzi was also confused by Ma Tao, and couldn't help it when Gao Han opened his mouth.
"Are you worried about that person?"
This sentence in the watch was asked by Su Lanyu. At this time, she and Gao Han were riding in the same tank, which was the No. 6 Tiger Tank. When this woman asked this sentence, her tone was obviously a little low, because she said seriously, He'll be waiting outside the city to kill everyone.
"No way, it's been many days. How can that madman really be guarding outside the city? Even if he is guarding, if Solu City is fighting like this, how does that bastard know that we are back?"
Xiao Jinzi's doubtful tone came from the watch.
"You're too worried, I'm not thinking about this."
Ma Tao knew who the 'he' she was talking about was, but Ma Tao was really not thinking about anything serious just now but was thinking about another issue.
"What's the problem? Brother, please tell me and see if we can help you solve it together?"
Xiao Jinzi asked again, and Xiao Jinzi also thought Ma Tao was worried about the man named Yan.
"Yeah, if you have anything to say, tell us and see if everyone can help you solve it?"
Gao Han asked.
"That's right, we can all think of a solution together."
Sister R, who was driving car No. 3 at the back of the team, also seemed a little anxious.
Sister R and Car No. 3 were specially picked up by Ma Tao. During the three days in Seoul, Ma Tao used a fax device to go back and forth to Naduo Village to send Sister R and Car No. 3 back to Seoul. As for why he did this , of course because Ma Tao helped Xiao Jinzi make a decision, that is, leaving Jeep No. 2 in Seoul to protect Xiao Jinzi’s parents. The overall defensive strength of Seoul is too weak for the outside world. Although Jeep No. 2 is not the most powerful, chariot, but self-protection is definitely not a problem. Leaving the No. 2 chariot there is the only way to allow Xiao Jinzi to leave with peace of mind.
"I was just thinking..."
Speaking of this, Ma Tao paused for two seconds, first sighed helplessly and then said quietly: "Why are we so poor now?"
"..."
When Ma Tao finished speaking, there was no sound at all from the communication watch, and it was deathly quiet.
"I'm so angry!!! Is this what you were thinking about just now?"
After a while, the roar of Gao Han's soprano was heard from everyone's watches. Then, the elder sister roared again with a higher tone than before, "Your problem!!!" It’s of no use at all! Drive quickly! Either go into the city! Or leave! I don’t want to accompany you to make fools here!!!”
Frightened by Gao Han's Hedong lion's roar, Ma Tao quickly started the No. 1 car, turned around, and drove in any direction without intending to enter Solu City.
In fact, Ma Tao was really thinking about this problem just now. When he teleported to Solu, what he wanted to do most was to replace the main gun on the tank, but with the three or four thousand Gs they had in hand, he didn't even think about it. , from which he suddenly lamented why it was so difficult to make money, and fell into a daze until Gao Han woke him up through his watch.
On the other side, Xiao Jinzi pursed his lips. After all, he did not tell that he had the 20,000 G given by his father, because he knew better than Ma Tao that this person would never accept other people's things for no reason. Letting Ma Tao know that he secretly accepted such a large sum of money from his parents, Xiao Jinzi believed that Ma Tao would teleport back to Seoul as soon as possible to return the money, because if Ma Tao wanted to, without telling his parents, Just Qian Santai, the boss of Qian, would easily spend tens of thousands of G, but Ma Tao was not such a person. Therefore, Xiao Jinzi decided that it would be better to wait and tell Ma Tao about this matter.
Ma Tao's idea is very simple, that is to wander around Solu for a few days, fight some monsters and other things, and make some money, because the little wealth they have is really not considered money in Solu. The hotel will be all spent after just a few days of sleep, so when it comes to urgent matters, it is better to find ways to get money. It costs money to buy equipment, and it costs money to replace equipment. Money, money, money. In short, everything is inseparable from money.
Of course, if you really meet that person named Yan on the way, then fuck him. To be honest, Ma Tao has never regarded Yan Yan and the entire Black Mamba as a strong enemy. At most, they are regarded as his own growth. It's just a stumbling block. As for when it will stumble on him, it's not something he can control.
The ruined city of Solu is located in a mountain valley, a plain in the mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. You can only go north to get in and out, and if you go all the way north, you will be isolated by a river. There is a building on the other side of the river. The Broken Bridge, why is it called the Broken Bridge? Of course it is because the bridge has reached the age when it is about to be scrapped. It has not been covered or blocked twice, and the bridge deck is also dilapidated. It is very suspicious that dozens of tons of tanks crushed it. It doesn't matter if the bridge collapses or not, but it doesn't matter if you leave.
Ma Tao parked his car at the end of the bridge. From the appearance of the bridge, it can be seen that this bridge should have been used for trains at first, because there are traces of laying rails on the bridge. The rusty rails have almost been sanded by the wind and sand. It has long been gone, and only sections of foundation stones are left laying on the bridge. I don’t know whether they were recovered by Noah’s monsters or taken away by humans. Anyway, not even one meter can be seen. As for the foundation stones, When Ma Tao got out of the car, he squeezed it with his hands and it broke into several pieces. It was already very weathered.
However, this section of railway track with only foundation stones is not very long. The bridge head on the opposite side can be seen with the naked eye and disappears. It is replaced by a patch of wild grass about half a person tall and a mountain range and woods further away. Even further away, Ma Tao can see Gone.
Considering the safety of the bridge, Ma Tao gave up the idea of going to the other side of the bridge. There was a river under the bridge. The bridge was nearly a hundred meters long and the river was dozens of meters wide. If the chariot really fell into the water, it would be almost impossible. Ten tons of stuff is probably impossible to get in this world.
Therefore, Ma Tao chose to use the old method and follow the route he took when he came, which was to advance along the mountains.
When I returned, I happened to encounter an alloy bird and a dark green recoilless gun truck. It was considered a ground-to-air coordinated attack. However, the alloy bird's attack could only reduce the tank's shield value by more than 20 points. For the time being, It can be ignored, and the firepower is concentrated on the recoilless gun truck immediately.
Each monster created by Noah has its own characteristics and properties. For example, this recoilless gun truck has three attack methods: upper, middle and lower weapons. As soon as they met, the machine gun at the top of this thing fired in one round, knocking out four of them. The tanks each have more than 30 shields and can also use rocket launchers to attack. After this mixed attack, the damage is well over 300. It can be regarded as a high-output Noah monster. The installed defense of this recoilless rifle is not bad either. It was enough to withstand the seven or eight cannons of Ma Tao and his four tanks before it was completely misfired. The last alloy bird was shot down from the sky by Xiao Jinzi with a laser shot from the secondary gun. It was so fragile that it was unbelievable. , anyway, Ma Tao found that few of these flying Noah monsters could withstand beatings. Of course, except for flying saucers like UFOs, the rest were basically unable to withstand any attacks.
Killing the recoilless gun truck gives you 300 G, but the alloy bird only has a little over 80 G, so you can barely get the goods.
In fact, the main reason that gave Ma Tao the courage to wander around Solu was the 160mm smoothbore cannon of Gao Han's tank. It was powerful, powerful and destructive. More importantly, the gun's ammunition compartment was as high as 60mm. With the number of two, it is the absolute king of ammunition. This is why the vehicle has always used the Gatling gun as a secondary gun.
I made a semicircle along the edge of the mountain range and then headed west. I killed several high-speed vehicles and vehicle-mounted guns along the way, and the harvest was quite rich.
Going south along the edge of the mountain, we came to the lush and dry grassland again. The road conditions were not good and we couldn't see clearly. The speed of the car naturally dropped a lot. When the speed of the car slowed down, the situation of being discovered or even attacked by monsters returned. Increase, this is exactly what Ma Tao wants.
This is also true. When it comes to sonic cannons and recoilless rifles, at most three of them came at one time. The four tanks had to spread them out to fight. Otherwise, it would only be one round of three recoilless rifles. The rocket attack is enough to drink a pot, and the scattered attack can avoid the need for all tanks to be locked into a group and attacked uniformly.
The battle was arduous and difficult. Fortunately, they had four tanks. Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi each drove a tank to deal with two recoilless rifles. The remaining tanks were handed over to No. 3 CMB and No. 6 Gao Han and Sister R of the Tiger tank were fighting two against one, and their chances of winning were still very high. There was basically no danger. When the battle on their side was over and they came to support them, it would become two against one.
This tactic took nearly half an hour to deal with these three recoilless artillery vehicles. 900G was obtained. This number is basically the same as the shield energy lost by their four tanks. Xiao Jinzi’s No. 4 The Panther has less than 700 shields.
In the final analysis, their weapon output is not good. This is the main reason why the tank shield value is exchanged for G.
On the green grassland, the convoy drove slowly, heading south along the mountains. Not a single Black Mamba was encountered. Maybe it was just like what Xiao Jinshan said, that bastard didn't have the patience to wait like this. .
At sunset, the convoy stopped in front of a forest path. This forest path was located in the middle of two mountain ranges, at the junction. The mountains on both sides were rugged and winding, but it could accommodate a chariot. But it can only accommodate two tanks passing side by side. It's hard to say for slightly larger tanks.
Ma Tao and the others had been on this mountain road before, but that was before they found Solu. At that time, because their equipment, ammunition and shields were on the verge of running low, they had to follow the guys from the Creation Alliance. Therefore, at that time, they only took a quick look and never thought about going in because the conditions did not allow it. But it is different now. Not to mention the time, their purpose of coming out is to kill monsters and make money. No matter what monster they meet, They were all destroyed by him. Taking off the G of these monsters was a completely different situation. Therefore, even if he was just wandering around, Ma Tao could go and find out.
The convoy drove into this forest path, and the steel tracks ran over the lush green grass, dyeing the tanks green. Countless flying insects frantically fled to both sides, trying to save their lives. Unlucky. , has been crushed into the earth by dozens of tons of steel monsters and is struggling hard.
The mountains on both sides are so steep that chariots are not allowed to drive up them at all. Safety can be guaranteed. Although there is a risk of being ambushed, such steep mountains can only lurk some organisms. If you want to let the huge chariots It is simply a dream to get similar mechanical combat equipment.
The convoy only traveled two miles, and the forest disappeared. It was completely surrounded by mountains on both sides. Not to mention trees, it was difficult for any grass to grow on the bare trees. It is probably because this road is relatively smooth. Otherwise, it should be Not even a blade of grass grows.
It has to be said that the vitality of plants is really tenacious. Surrounded by mountains on both sides and with relatively scarce light, the weeds here also grow very well, although they cannot grow as tall as half a person like those outside. , but there are also more than a dozen inside. It can be vaguely seen from the growth of these plants that vehicles should often pass through this road, because there is a very obvious rut mark under the steel tracks, and the roads on both sides have been crushed all year round. The soil below was exposed everywhere, and there was no grass growing. However, one thing was good, that is, I never encountered Noah's modified monster.
The convoy drove in a zigzag manner for about an hour at a speed of about 20 miles, and finally a smooth road appeared ahead.
This is an open land, not a small one. The ground is a rare piece of yellow sand, as if it had been deliberately paved on it. A few bare dead trees still have traces of war and gunpowder smoke.
From these dead trees, Ma Tao immediately judged that this place should have experienced the baptism of artillery fire, because there is a fundamental difference between normal dead trees and dead trees killed by shell smoke, because those dead trees have They are all burnt black. From this, we can judge that there must have been a battle here before. The sandy land where no weeds grow here is probably related to this. But think about it, the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a canyon not far away, with a rushing river below, connected to another continent by a viaduct. It is an excellent position for defense. You only need to provide fire coverage on the other side of the bridge. Even if you are a big Luo Jinxian, you will still have to peel off your skin. However, Now, looking at the weathered condition of the battlefield, it is estimated that that battle has passed a long time ago.
When passing through the viaduct, the convoy encountered the first wave of monsters it had encountered in such a long time. It was a formation composed of three Noah tanks. This thing no longer posed any threat to today's Zongheng convoy. Three shells After finishing the rest of their three Noah tanks, they harvested a pitiful 128G. Mosquitoes are still meat even when they are small. Besides, they have nothing to do now. The main purpose of coming out is to hunt.
The viaduct built above the river embankment connecting the north and south is an L-type. There is a right-angle bend in the middle. The total length is about two or three kilometers. The bridge body is very strong and there are no breakpoints. As for whether it is loose, it cannot be determined by the naked eye. The judgment has been made.
After passing the viaduct, you can see a very well-preserved road. It must be said that the road in front of you is the most well-preserved that Ma Tao has ever seen, but what is curious is the trees on both sides of the road. They all looked like they had been burned by war.
“This road is maintained”
Gao Han's voice came from the communication watch.
Yes, Ma Tao also thought of this possibility. Not to mention how many storms there were in these nearly half a century, the battlefield conditions here alone are absolutely impossible to guarantee that not a single shell will not fall on the road. Therefore, save Such complete roads only show that this area is always maintained.
"That means there should be humans around here."
Xiao Jinzi also immediately reacted and responded with his watch.
"If you follow this path, you should find something."
Gao Han replied.
“Then give it a try”
Ma Tao also agreed with this statement. He immediately started the chariot and reminded everyone: "Everyone should be alert and observe carefully."
The reason why I say this is because Ma Tao knows that the most dangerous thing in the world is never Noah, let alone the monsters Noah created, but the human heart. Since ancient times, people's hearts are unpredictable, and this is what they are talking about. The situation of manual maintenance and repairs on the road is so obvious, the possibility of someone being there is definitely more than 80%, but there are good people and bad people, and it is still unclear whether they are friends or enemies. As the saying goes, caution makes a thousand-year ship. After all, humans are intelligent creatures. There are many ways I can think of.
Along this very flat road heading south, the wind and sand on both sides were severe. The trees on both sides of the road were basically dead, and only a little further away could you see some lush vegetation.
The convoy drove less than ten kilometers south, and some collapsed buildings from the old world began to appear vaguely on the horizon. When they got closer, they could see that the staircase buildings had been scrapped, making them veritable dangerous buildings. It was covered with plants and had obviously been abandoned for a long time.
After the first abandoned building appeared, the next one followed. However, it was not as densely populated as the buildings in Solu City. Instead, it was several hundred meters away before the next abandoned building could be seen. In other words, The scale is not as big as Solu's. If Solu is the ruins of a big city, then this is the remains of a small county town at best.
“I didn’t expect there was an abandoned city here.”
Looking at the world outside the screen, Xiao Jinzi couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.
Before Noah destroyed the world, the number of cities on the earth was quite large. Human beings can be said to be spread all over the world. From these high-rise buildings, you can guess the prosperity of the human world in the past. This is the sentimentality of all human beings.
The road made a turn in this abandoned city and extended directly to the east. The motorcade drove eastward for less than a moment before the road disappeared and a broken railway appeared in front of them.
Here, they were ambushed by several laser bugs.
The laser beam emitted by this blue beetle monster can knock out more than 20 shields of a tank, but it cannot withstand a shell from the 115T gun. Although it is inevitable to be attacked by a sneak attack, there are building wreckage everywhere here. , if you want to detect monsters in such an environment in advance, you can’t rely on sight. The C device cannot detect it completely.
After killing four laser bugs and harvesting 600G, the convoy stopped on the side of the train track.
"Which way?"
Seeing that the No. 1 car leading the way did not move forward, Gao Han moved his wrists in the car and stretched his waist to relieve the pain of long driving, and then asked Ma Tao on his communication watch, "How long has it been?" Driving is also very tiring.
Ma Tao did not answer her question first, but looked back and forth along the railway twice.
The entire railway runs from north to south. It is as long as you can see at a glance, but it is no longer usable. The rails in many places have been disconnected. However, Ma Tao did not look at this. He observed that the farther north the railway went, the farther it went. The more severe the joints are, the more obvious they are. However, the ones going south, that is, extending into the town, are relatively well preserved. Ma Tao lowered his head and blinked, thought for a while, and then said: "Let's go south and enter this abandoned place." Take a look inside the county seat”
Now that we are all here, why not take a look inside. Besides, if there is human activity nearby, it is most likely to be in the ruins of this county town.
The buildings on both sides of the railway have been covered with bright green plants, which are growing very lushly. There are even several big trees growing in some places. Urban plants that have lost human civilization will always be the number one overlord.
As we drove further in, there were more and more abandoned buildings, all built on both sides of the railway. When we were about to reach the center, a station appeared in front of us.
The entire station is surrounded by barbed wire and guardrails. The intricate barbed wire is also covered with spikes. In addition, the guardrails are two to three meters high, let alone people. Even cats and dogs would have a hard time getting through. The only place you can enter and exit is the main entrance of the station.
"Someone!"
Through the in-car display screen, Xiao Jinzi in Car No. 4 discovered that a black shadow flashed past the gate of the station.
"Looks like we're in the right place"
Gao Han also noticed the black shadow, but this was what she expected. Such a protected place could not have been created by a monster.
"Come on, let's go there, everyone be careful"
Ma Tao stepped on the accelerator, and Ant No. 1 drove straight towards the gate of the station.
Other vehicles naturally followed, but the formation was still that Car No. 1 was first, followed closely by Xiao Jinzi, then Car No. 6 driven by Gao Han and Su Lanyu, and finally No. 3 CMB ambulance driven by Sister R alone. The cars, four cars, lined up in a straight line, ready to enter the station.
As we got closer, we could see the surrounding situation more clearly through the station gate.
This station was originally supposed to be a freight train station without a platform. There are several independent small buildings in front of it, and there are many train carriages parked behind it. All the carriages have been severely exposed to wind and sun, and the paint has peeled off and is rusty. Yes, the traces of being baptized by time are so obvious.
boom! ! !
When the convoy was about to enter the station gate, a loud noise suddenly came from directly in front of the No. 1 tank driven by Ma Tao. The explosion directly lifted the land in front of the convoy, and the yellow sand flying in the sky instantly blocked the view of the entire convoy. , everyone’s screen is gray and full of dirt.
