I don't know whether I should be happy or sigh, but fighting again and again finally made this cold and stubborn woman realize the fact that she had always been unwilling to accept.
"There should be a bar over there. Let's go and experience the carriage bar here."
Noting a wooden sign labeled BAR not far away that was almost covered with green plants, Gao Han pointed to the several carriages with open doors over there.
At this time, Xiao Jinzi suddenly covered his stomach, stopped, and said with a look of discomfort on his face: "Oh, why is my stomach suddenly uncomfortable? No, I have to find a place to solve it, you... …You go ahead and I’ll come back to you later.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jinzi turned around and ran away in a hurry. No one noticed that the boy was running in the direction of the chariot equipment store.
"Isn't this kid secretly eating something delicious behind our backs? It seems he has received retribution."
Gao Han looked at Xiao Jinzi who disappeared behind a certain carriage and said doubtfully.
Although they are not very familiar with Eden Town, the risk factor here is still guaranteed. After all, he is still an old man, so Ma Tao is not very worried about Xiao Jinzi leaving alone, so he lets him go. .
There are a lot of solidified and dried vomit from humans at the door of the bar car, which looks a bit disgusting. However, there are more disgusting things than this in the apocalypse. This visual impact is nothing. There are almost such things near bars in every town. In fact, there are always some people who don't know how much they can drink and make fun of their own stomachs.
The four people stepped into the carriage. Good guys, they had to admire how powerful the human mind is and how adaptable it is to life.
Due to the limited space in this bar converted from a train car, many facilities were omitted. The first car they entered was the main car of the bar. The counter was in this car, and the car connected behind it was also open. There is space, but due to the obstruction of the wine cabinet and other items, and the distance, the situation in that carriage cannot be clearly seen.
"Four warriors? What do you want?"
Seeing the four of them pushing the door open, an ordinary-looking woman in her thirties wearing a blue dress showed a business smile, walked towards them and asked, it seemed that she should be a bartender.
"Is there a suitable place?"
Gao Han looked around and saw that there were only three wine tables in this carriage, all with hard benches that could not be moved. The only table that could accommodate four people was already occupied by a middle-aged man, and Judging from his expression, the host was already a little drunk. The other two wine tables were separate and were tables for two. There was also someone at one of the tables, and there was also a man drinking alone.
I don't know why, but there are so few people in this bar. Apart from these two customers, they are the waiter in front of me and the bartender in the wine cabinet.
"Please come inside, there is room inside. I'll go and clean it up for you. You can go to the counter to order something first. I'll deliver it to you."
As she spoke, the thirty-something-year-old young woman in a dress in front of her made an invitation gesture, then turned around and walked to the counter first, picked up a rag on the table, and hurried to the car behind her, probably to pack her things. .
"I'm going to get something"
Gao Han flipped up his red flame-like hair, then pulled Su Lanyu and the two girls toward the counter.
My sister was not interested in any of this, and she had no need for it, so she didn't go there and stayed with Ma Tao.
"Hey! Outsider?"
At this time, the man sitting at the double table next to them raised his eyes and glanced at Sister R first, then looked at the backs of the two top men walking towards the counter, and then turned his eyes to Ma Tao said with a smile.
Although this man stared at the women around Ma Tao, he also knew the depth. Ma Tao and the others were all equipped with weapons and equipment and were not bad. It was obvious that they were not easy to provoke, so he only looked at them twice before speaking. He quickly looked back.
"Yes, I happened to pass by here"
Ma Tao didn't hide anything, and there was no need to hide it. In this place, Eden, their new faces were like living signs, and it was impossible not to be recognized.
"mercenary?"
The man stared at the neutron cannon carried by Ma Tao for another two seconds, then looked away and asked with a very envious tone in his eyes.
"No, we are bounty hunters"
Ma Tao shook his head and explained.
"Bounty Hunter?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and his tone suddenly became a little stuttering, "Are you... here for that thing?"
"what?"
There was an unexpected gain. After looking at each other with Sister R, Ma Tao's curiosity suddenly aroused.
"It doesn't seem like..."
Seeing that Ma Tao didn't know, the man shook his head helplessly.
"What not? Is there a bounty head here?"
Sister R asked again.
"Bounty head? No, there are monsters here"
The man saw that Ma Tao and the others really didn't know, and then he answered in a very cautious tone with a strange look on his face.
"Oh? What monster?"
When he heard this, Ma Tao was also stunned. Good guy, I didn't expect that he would ask some stories.
"You can't say it, you can't say it... the monsters will find out..."
The man kept silent about this.
"It's okay, we are just here to collect the demons."
Ma Tao said.
"Yes, we are very powerful."
Sister R also hurriedly helped.
"Awesome? Have you been to Solu Town? Have you been to the mysterious tower in the south?"
the man asked rhetorically.
"To tell you the truth, we are from Solu Town. As for the Mysterious Tower, we have never been there."
There is a saying that Ma Tao will not lie, because lying will not benefit him at all.
"Been to Solu Town? Then you can be regarded as well-informed warriors and know everything. However, you are definitely not the opponent of monsters, definitely not."
While the man was affirming, he still didn't quite believe in Ma Tao's strength and waved his hands repeatedly.
At this time, Gao Han and Su Lanyu had already finished ordering at the counter. Seeing Ma Tao and Sister R chatting with a stranger, they came to greet them, "Let's go, let's go to the carriage inside."
Knowing that it was difficult to find out what was coming from this man's mouth, Ma Tao gave up and went with his sister to join Gao Han and the others.
Because there is no bar counter in the second carriage, the space is slightly larger. However, what Ma Tao did not expect was that there was a selling point for human tools at the very back of the bar carriage. This kind of planning and design is incredible. Okay, no need to guess. If you don’t come to the bar, you may never find this store in your life. It’s really weird.
Unexpectedly, there were two other drinkers in the second carriage. They were two elderly men with white hair and beards. The wrinkles on their faces were clearly visible. One had a bright forehead and no bald hair left. The other one was a little better, but the hair on top of his head was also very sparse. When Ma Tao and the other four came in, these two old men were drinking wine one glass at a time. They had such a character that they would not admit defeat even at such an old age. , they were also convinced, but seeing as there was only a bottle of wine in front of them, it was hard to say whether they could drink it all day.
After finding a place where four people could sit, the young waitress in her thirties walked over with a plate of drinks, and placed them on their table.
"Can you change the music?"
I noticed that there was a music machine in the middle of the car but it was not playing any music. In the whole bar, there were only the voices of the two old men thinking about it, without the enthusiasm of other bars at all. Fortunately, the voices of those two people were not It’s big, otherwise it’s better to be in the front carriage.
"Sorry, that thing is broken."
The waitress shook her head helplessly.
Gao Han was speechless for a moment and muttered, "No wonder this bar is so crowded. Without passionate music, what kind of bar would it be? There's no point in drinking at all."
“I’m so sorry”
The waitress said sorry, put down her drink and left.
"What did you order? Can you drink anything? Don't get drunk. We haven't found a place to stay yet."
Ma Tao glanced at the small half table of drinks on the table, with bottles and cups of no less than a dozen different types, and wanted to remind her.
"Don't worry, these are just like drinks, LOM has no alcohol content."
As he spoke, Gao Han took the lead in picking up a glass of light green wine and said, "I know you don't know how to drink brandy and XO, so do you dare to drink this with me?"
The LOM raised by Gao Han is called rum. Rum is a distilled liquor produced from sugar cane molasses. It is also called sugar wine, rum, and rum. It has a sweet taste, fragrant aroma, and bright taste. Rum is made from sugar juice pressed from sugar cane. It is fermented and distilled. It has a very low alcohol content and is very delicious, especially suitable for women.
"All right"
Ma Tao saw that Su Lanyu next to him had also raised a glass of rum. Besides, it was a bit boring to let Gao Han and Su Lanyu drink by themselves, so he just thought it was to add to the fun and picked up a glass of LOM. His sister was very cooperative when she saw this. He picked up a cup, and the four of them clinked the cups and drank the LOM in their hands in one gulp.
Ma Tao pursed his lips. To be honest, this stuff was really sweet, just like a drink. Drinking it was not interesting at all.
"What were you chatting with that guy just now? You've been chatting for so long."
One cup was not enough, Gao Han took the bottle of XO on the side, put the bottle on his legs and clamped it, then fixed the bottle with one hand, and used the other hand to pull the sieve blocking the mouth of the wine. Hearing a 'pop' sound, the bottle of XO was opened.
"Nothing. The man just said there are monsters here and there is some mysterious tower in the south."
Ma Tao replied.
"Monster??? Real or fake?..."
Gao Han burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"No way, there is such a thing"
Even Su Lanyu felt funny when he heard it.
"If there are monsters, shouldn't there also be gods?"
Gao Han poured some XO into the LOM glass he just drank, put it under her straight nose, smelled it, then took a sip and said.
"Young man, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Monsters will come out to do evil..."
Before Ma Tao could reply, the two old men over there put down their wine glasses and stopped drinking. The two old men looked at them with cautious eyes. The kind words of advice were given to one of them who had lost his hair. The old man spoke up.
"Is there really a monster here?"
Su Lanyu was a little convinced when she saw that the two old men spoke seriously and didn't look like they were joking.
"What are you afraid of? If we really meet each other, I would like to see whether the monster is stronger or me."
Gao Han continued to drink his XO nonchalantly.
"Young people, don't be arrogant and domineering. Although you are all carrying weapons, let alone you young children. Even the group of soldiers who wandered here in the past few days have much better weapons than yours. Were they not the same? The monster devoured several of them whole, and lost all the troops. After struggling for many days, now I am no longer honest. I am cooped up in the broken carriage at the back, and I don’t mention going out to kill the monster anymore.”
The wrinkles on the face of the old man who still had some gray hair on his head were about to pile up when he spoke.
"oh?"
He was quite surprised to hear that there was someone else here, Ma Tao, but Ma Tao was more concerned about the monster, so he softened his tone, and with a smile on his face, he followed the two old men, who looked like stubborn people, and asked: "This The monster is so powerful, what does it look like?"
"What? Do you really believe it?"
When Gao Han saw that Ma Tao actually believed such nonsense, she felt that he was unreasonable and directly glanced at him with her beautiful eyes. When she was about to open her mouth, she saw Ma Tao sitting opposite her put it under the table. He made a slight gesture with his hand and stopped making any sound.
"How do we know what the monster looks like? Everyone who has seen the monster is dead."
The two old men looked serious, and when they mentioned the monster, they spoke a little cautiously, as if they were afraid that the monster would hear them.
"So you are sure. Let me just say, there are only monsters in this world. Where do monsters come from? Monsters..."
When she heard that these two old men didn't know anything, Gao Han wanted to laugh even more, but when she said the word "monster", she suddenly realized something. Looking at Ma Tao opposite, it was obvious that Ma Tao had thought of it before her. Got this.
That's right, I had preconceptions. Gao Han, who had never believed in ghosts and gods in this world, didn't believe that there were any monsters at all, but it was definitely true that there were monsters in this world. If that was the case, then the monsters in Eden Town It is very likely that it is a very powerful monster, maybe a bounty head. If this is the case, then the value of such a powerful bounty head must be quite high.
Looking at the slightly raised corners of Ma Tao's mouth, this kid must have thought of this and asked in such detail.
"Please ask me, two old men. What is the origin of this monster that is so powerful? Where can I find it?"
Noticing that there was not much wine left on the table of these two old men, Ma Tao directly picked up a few glasses of XO on his own table and took them over.
They seemed to think that Ma Tao was a nice guy, and since there were more things on the table, the two old men were willing to talk more.
It turns out that many years ago, Eden Town was not as crowded as it is now. At that time, although the merchants and travelers traveling back and forth were not as prosperous as other towns, many people still knew the name of Eden Town. , but I don’t know when, on a certain day, a caravan crossing the mountains in the southern mountains, more than a dozen people, an armored vehicle, without exception, all died tragically on the only way from Eden to the outside world. , almost none of the corpses were intact. Every body was covered with horrific tear marks, as if they had been bitten by something. Some corpses were even bitten into two halves, with the two lower ones The legs are still there, but the upper half of the body is missing. The only armored vehicle has been completely scrapped. The body is covered with terrifying claw marks, with more than a thousand densely packed claw marks. Not only that, the entire armored soldier's shell seems to have been melted by strong acid. The originally strong armored steel shield can be smashed with a stone to make a hole.
Since then, this peaceful mountain road leading to the south has been completely cut off. At this point, the only way in and out of Eden Town is the north one, which is particularly easy to get lost and very difficult to find. For many years, there have been young warriors who were not afraid of death and wanted to travel through the mountains on the forest path, but they never returned. As time went by, no outsiders came to Eden Town.
Until a few days ago, a group of wandering soldiers came here and heard about monsters. The soldiers were originally a group of desperadoes who were fearless and fearless. Driven by curiosity, they wanted to kill them. The monster, but unexpectedly, half of the people who lost even saw the shadow of the monster. The fear that arose made the few soldiers who escaped with their lives return to Eden. It was also with the help of There were many of them, and they were the only group of people who could escape from the monster's mouth.
"The monster is so powerful?"
Gao Han was also very surprised after hearing this.
"Then does this monster appear often?"
Su Lanyu also asked.
"The monsters come and go without a trace. It cannot be said clearly, but it is said that they are actually over there at some kind of tower. Yes, it is called the East Meridian Tower, which is the Tokyo Tower."
The old man who still had a few strands of hair on his head recalled it and then continued: "About the East Meridian Tower, old man Zima should know in detail."
"How many times have I told him, if he doesn't pay Zima, he should be called Xima, it's Xima."
When he heard the word Zima, Ma Tao's heart skipped a beat. He thought Xiao Jinzi's grandfather from Seoul was here, but the bald old man's next words made Ma Tao relieved.
"How can we find him?"
The four of them looked at each other and Gao Han asked.
"The old guy is a foreigner. He is very stubborn. There is no carriage for him to live in, so he built a tent at the western end of the town near the small lake and lives by himself. After all these years, he doesn't know where he is. Is the old immortal dead?"
It seemed that they had some quarrel with the old man Xima. They were a little reluctant to talk about this person, but for the sake of the wine they told Ma Tao where Xima lived. However, Ma Tao and the others said that , you said old man Xima is stubborn, I think you two are equally stubborn.
After staying at the bar for a while, the drinks on the table were almost finished. Xiao Jinzi and that guy still haven’t returned. If they hadn’t contacted him with a universal watch and confirmed that he was safe now, they would have thought that he was safe. What happened to Jin Jin?
When they left the carriage bar, Xiao Jinzi ran up to join them, panting. He didn't even drink a sip of wine, but seeing the stern look on his face and his happy smile, Ma Tao didn't know why. asked: "What's wrong with you? Did you find the money?"
"No, no, I'm just happy..."
Xiao Jinzi wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeves and replied with an unstoppable smile on his face.
Ma Tao stared at him and found nothing wrong, then said suspiciously: "Let's go, let's find a place to live."
Although it is said that finding a place to live is easy, it is really difficult to say in this Eden Town. Let’s not talk about whether you can find a hotel that every town must be equipped with. Even if you find it, it is estimated that there will be no one in this two hundred years. The town hotel may be in a state of disrepair, but no matter what, this sleeping place must be solved.
When we were looking for a hotel, Ma Tao led the way, and Gao Han and Su Lanyu, who were slightly drunk, followed behind. These two women were both considered top-notch women and walked arm-in-arm. One was slim and plump, showing off her true qualities as a mature woman. Every step they take, enchanting and cool, exuding the grace of a royal sister, will attract many eyes from all carriages. Although Eden Town is a stable paradise, the world under Noah's rule is a troubled time after all. These The eyes were very unscrupulous, but no one was messing around. After all, the rules here must be followed.
"Mysterious, what on earth did you do?"
Sister R deliberately took two steps slowly and asked Xiao Jinzi, who was also lagging behind.
"I'm telling you, you must never tell my brother."
Xiao Jinzi first secretly glanced at Ma Tao who was walking in front, and then answered Sister R's words.
"Does it have anything to do with Ma Tao? Will it put Ma Tao in danger?"
Although Sister R is a robot, her super-powerful processor allows her adaptability to be the same as that of a normal person. As the only system instruction to protect Ma Tao, Sister R took Ma Tao into consideration in her first sentence.
"That's not true. I'm just afraid that my brother will be angry...I...I used the 20,000 G that my parents gave me to exchange for a main gun..."
Perhaps it was because of Sister R's special status that Xiao Jinzi dared to open up his heart to her. Although his words were a little awkward, the meaning was clearly expressed.
"160 smoothbore cannon?"
Sister R reacted instantly, glanced at Ma Tao walking in front, and asked in a low voice.
There is no doubt that it must be the 160-caliber smoothbore cannon they saw in the tank equipment store before.
After all, Xiao Jinzi still has the personality of a child. He lacks immunity and control over the things he likes and things that are particularly attractive to him, but he can't be blamed for this.
Seeing Xiao Jinzi nodding, Sister R lowered her tone and asked, "Did your parents give you the 20,000 G when we left Seoul?"
Seeing Xiao Jinzi looking at her and nodding her head, Sister R stopped asking.
Indeed, if Ma Tao knew that Xiao Jinzi used her parents' money to buy equipment, she would definitely not agree. Although the younger brother she watched grow up has undergone some changes in the later period, Sister R still has reason to believe that if Ma Tao knew about it, she would definitely not agree to it. A scolding of Xiao Jinzi is definitely unavoidable.
Sister R had never considered that Xiao Jinzi had stolen the money, so she didn’t ask, because Sister R knew that based on the computer judgment she made for Xiao Jinzi, this boy would not be able to do such a thing, so his parents The possibility of giving is very high.
Therefore, Ma Tao gets angry more easily. Previously, Xiao Jinzi's parents didn't ask for it in person, but now Xiao Jinzi wants it secretly behind his back. This is okay.
In layman's terms, Xiao Jinzi's behavior is called nibbling on the old, which is something that Ma Tao doesn't like and even hates. It is despised. However, when you have the opportunity to nibble on the old, it just means that you have the conditions to nibble on the old. In any case, having an old man to chew on is already a blessing obtained in the previous life. This is your unique qualification.
"Sister...do you think Brother Tao will scold me?"
Seeing Sister R fall into silence, Xiao Jinzi felt even more unsure.
"give it to me……"
Sister R looked at him, then gave him a reassuring smile and replied.
