Night eyes? No wonder, even from such a long distance, the woman could still notice everything that she was looking at.
"She seems to know you. Who is she?"
Withdrawing his gaze, Gao Han looked at Ma Tao and asked.
"She should be from the Creation Alliance. I don't know her name, but we did meet her."
Ma Tao did not deny the fact that he had met this woman once, but he did not know who she was, not even her name.
Gao Han looked at him and did not dwell on the issue, then said: "The meal is ready, come back and eat."
After the two returned, Sister R and the twin sisters had already prepared food, and Xiao Jinzi was still adding firewood to the campfire.
"That's enough. I'll have to continue on my way after eating in a while, so there's no need to add more."
Gao Han glanced at him and said.
"Ah? Aren't you going to rest?"
Xiao Jinzi was stunned. He thought he was going to spend the night here.
"If you want to rest, you won't have to travel during the day tomorrow. The rule here is to stay up day and night. Otherwise, you can see that the tents set up by those people are not fixed, but simply set up."
Gao Han scooped out the rice cereal with a spoon and started eating without caring about anyone else.
Xiao Jinzi stood up and looked around the camp. Indeed, as Gao Han said, these tents were trembling slightly in the night breeze, which showed that they were not fixed to the ground.
"Damn, that's really awesome. What kind of tents are these guys setting up?"
Xiao Jinzi said after observing.
"Of course it's to protect yourself from the wind and sand, so as not to eat a mouthful of sand."
Ma Tao looked at the chariot that blocked the surrounding area like a copper wall and said.
In the gap between the chariots, the cool breeze blows at night, and sand and dust are often blown up. Although the night wind is not strong, the sand blown up falls into the bowl, which is very unpleasant to eat. Those people The reason why the tent was set up was naturally to block the wind and sand so that they could have a peaceful meal. After all, not everyone had a chariot.
"Everyone, hurry up and eat. I guess they won't be able to stay here for long."
Ma Tao took the bowl, filled it with a bowl, and handed it to Su Lanxi beside him. The silly girl took it and was as happy as a little daughter-in-law. Then, he handed the second bowl to Su Lanyu, who did not What to say, he took it and ate it silently.
Sure enough, after resting for less than an hour, the Red Flame caravan had already started to pack up and break out of camp after dinner. The rest of the human camp also packed up and prepared to continue on their way.
The vast starry sky is connected to the endless horizon. The stars in the night sky are twinkling all over the top of the head. The silver-white moon shrouds the entire Gobi with a hazy moonlight. If it weren't for the fact that the temperature outside is already low. The temperature is about to reach zero, and the night view is absolutely beautiful.
The Red Flame caravan was moving very slowly and cold, which made the labor coolies who could only walk without chariots move slowly. It can be seen that these people are very well prepared and are obviously very experienced. They all put on thick clothes, and they were all wrapped up now, each one bundled tightly to resist the severe cold.
Because of them, the team's moving speed had to be reduced. Ma Tao had controlled his speed to 20 kilometers per hour, basically stopping and going.
This time, the Red Flame Caravan did not intentionally drive away the tails that were following them. Whenever they encountered monsters in front, they were directly dealt with them. And when Noah monsters appeared on both sides, they were close to them if they had the strength to do so. The people took action to deal with it, and Ma Tao and the others also killed three command vehicles that were heading towards them.
When talking about these three Noah command vehicles, I have to mention that the latest secondary artillery fire dragon is installed on the vehicle.
Originally, Ma Tao also used the secondary artillery fire dragon with the idea of giving it a try. However, this time, the results were brilliant and unexpected results were achieved. Ma Tao also learned the true meaning of the saying that there are benefits to being expensive.
The Fire Dragon secondary cannon worth 15,500 grams spits out flames with a temperature of over a thousand degrees, which can almost melt steel. It sweeps out a fiery red that illuminates the night sky. It is really like a roaring fire dragon. , swallowing everything, directly burning all three Noah command vehicles. The destructive power caused by such power is even better than the main 160 smoothbore cannon, because this is a group damage weapon, the main gun can't do it to such a large-scale damage area.
After the scorching flames, only the remains of the three command vehicles were left emitting black smoke on the scorched black land. Because the temperature of the flames was too high, after the raging, it would not ignite except leaving a piece of scorched earth. What, it’s almost the same as the difference after magma.
While waiting for the three command vehicles to cool down and prepare to remove the guns on the vehicles, Ma Tao unexpectedly discovered that the weapon secondary gun 09 artillery mounted on one of the command vehicles was still intact. After disassembly, it should be It still works.
Ma Tao, who has the Fire Dragon secondary gun, doesn't like this thing. Even Xiao Jinzi is too lazy to disassemble it. Although this secondary gun 09 can be disassembled and sold for money, this thing is not light, weighing 0.34 tons. , the power is definitely not as good as the laser secondary cannon of his tank, and it is more difficult to disassemble, which he does not care about at all.
Looking at this 80% new 09 artillery piece, Ma Tao felt worried. After all, this is a piece of tank equipment. If you don't use it, it will be a waste. If you leave it here, it will be picked up by others. It is also a waste. Take it away by yourself. It's troublesome, and secondly, it's heavy and will increase the burden on the chariot. What can I do?
Ma Tao noticed the guys who had been watching around him and rolled his eyes left and right. He suddenly came up with an idea. Aren't these guys all businessmen or looking for treasures? Whoever he sells to is not selling, so why not sell to them himself? , how wonderful the change was, and then said loudly to Xiao Jinzi who was dismantling a command vehicle not far away: "Hey! The secondary gun of this command vehicle was not damaged. It was disassembled and waited until it arrived in the town. sell"
Ma Tao speaks loudly, and anyone around him can hear it as long as he has ears.
"Huh? Oh..."
Xiao Jinzi was stunned for a moment, thinking about how Ma Tao could like such a rubbish secondary artillery piece, but seeing how he kept making fun of himself, he realized it and quickly replied: "I know."
Quickly dismantling the 125g command vehicle under him and putting it into his bag, Xiao Jinzi pretended to walk towards Ma Tao.
As soon as they heard that Ma Tao was going to sell it, people around him immediately started to make up their minds. When Ma Tao walked over, they quickly gathered around him.
"Brothers, let's discuss whether something can be done.
? "
A man wrapped in thick cotton clothes and a cotton hat carrying an invisible weapon wrapped in cloth followed Ma Tao's footsteps and said.
"What's up?"
Ma Tao asked knowingly.
"He wants to buy that auxiliary gun. Brother, I will give you 400g and sell me the auxiliary gun. What do you think?"
Another mecha man came over quickly, pushed past the man in the cotton hat and said straight to the point.
"Brothers, I'll give you 450, sell it to me!"
When the man in the cotton hat saw someone snatching the business and directly giving the price, he hurriedly raised the price.
"It turns out you want to buy that auxiliary gun."
Ma Tao looked at the two of them and thought about it. The market price of the 09 artillery is about 1200g. If he adds too much, he will shoot himself in the foot and maybe screw up. After considering other , Ma Tao did not intend to ink, and then said: "One price, 500g, you can dismantle it yourself, and whoever wants it will give it to whom."
Hearing Ma Tao's words, the man in the cotton hat hesitated for a moment before the mecha man spoke first: "I want it, I want it!"
After saying that, fearing that the man in the fur hat was competing with her, and even more afraid that Ma Tao would regret it, he quickly took out 500g from his body and forced it into Ma Tao's hand.
"I...I...I..."
In this moment of confusion, the thing he was interested in was taken away by someone else. The man in the leather hat couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but Ma Tao even took the money and couldn't make any changes. He could only blame himself for starting too late.
Looking at the money in his hand, Ma Tao called Xiao Jinzi. Xiao Jinzi, who had been waiting there for a long time, was waiting for this sentence. He jumped out of the burned command vehicle and walked back. The mecha man came He started to call his own people to climb up and unload the 09 secondary gun.
The power of the fire dragon secondary cannon not only dealt a devastating blow to the monster, but also shocked those around them. The combat effectiveness displayed by Ma Tao and others instantly improved them by several levels.
At about three o'clock in the morning, the temperature that dropped to minus three degrees began to gradually rise. When the white fish belly lit up in the east, it was five o'clock in the morning. In these short two hours, the temperature climbed to 15 degrees above zero. People wearing cotton-padded clothes and trousers had to take off those thick clothes. After the cold night, they began to prepare for the coming high temperature.
When the sun rises completely, the temperature is no longer 30 degrees. However, we can still continue our journey at this temperature, but it won't last long.
The temperature is getting hotter and hotter. At eight o'clock, the sun has already risen high. Under the scorching sunshine, my mouth is dry and my body is oily. There is no refreshing feeling in the morning. What is there is just heat. The whole earth It seemed as if everyone was following the fire. Looking around, even the dry weeds on the Gobi were bent down in exhaustion, and everyone had to stop.
The team that had been traveling all night could no longer walk. They could still rely on thick clothes to resist the cold, but there was really no way to resist the heat, especially in a place like this, where there were not even a tree around. Sand, stones, and withered weeds.
The Red Flame caravan in front stopped again and began to set up tents so that the coolies and mercenaries without chariots could have a place to cool off and avoid direct exposure to the sun. The same was true for other teams.
After driving the chariot all night, Ma Tao was also very sleepy. The sleepiness made his upper and lower eyelids start to fight. Fortunately, Su Lanxi could replace him at the wheel and Ma Tao could take a nap.
The scorched earth is constantly releasing hot air, the swaying horizon and the dazzling sunlight make people dizzy. On the beach, a black spider quickly crawls across a sandbag with eight sharp and thin spider legs. The eight compound eyes stared at a shady place not far away where the sun could not reach.
The eight slender legs hesitated, the fangs opened and closed, and the spider quickly began to crawl towards the shade. Seeing that it was about to reach the place where it could not be exposed to the sun, suddenly a bright red tongue hit the spider, The tongue was covered in mucus and wrapped around the spider's body, spinning several times in mid-air before being swallowed in one gulp.
At the edge of the shade, somewhere on the yellow beach, a red eye was exposed. The strange eye rotated 360 degrees. After finding no other prey, the owner of the eye stood up and looked towards the sun. He moved two steps to the shade that was not exposed to the light. Under the interplay of light and shadow, a body with thorns was revealed. It was a chameleon.
The change in the surrounding environment and the darker light made the body of the snake dragon disguised as the color of yellow sand very conspicuous. Soon, the snake dragon also discovered this problem. When the pair of eyes that could observe all directions without blind spots turned, The chameleon's skin also begins to darken until it blends in with its surroundings.
Just when the chameleon thought it was safe, the shadow that enveloped it actually moved. The chameleon was frightened. After looking around, it found an unobstructed direction and stood upright, dragging its long tail. It swayed from side to side with its two hind legs and fled away quickly until the chameleon ran to a place it thought was safe, disguised itself again, and then the chameleon's eyes meowed to the place where it was hiding before.
Above the shadow, a bright red tank started slowly. Immediately, the other three huge shadows around it also started to shake. A sea blue tank, a green tank and a minibus all moved. stand up.
"It's so annoying... It's such a hot day, can't Noah take a break after taking down his minions..."
In the cockpit of the green Panther tank, Xiao Jinzi looked at the alarm given by the C device. There were actually two red dots approaching them. According to the direction of movement of the red dots, they would definitely encounter one of their own.
The situation was the same in other tanks. The alarm of the C device woke up everyone who was resting.
In the wolf car, Ma Tao, who was lying on the rest bed in the rear, was suddenly awakened. He sat up sleepily and looked at the twin sisters in the driver's seat and co-driver's seat.
"It's okay. I just encountered two monsters. They were probably command vehicles or something. You can go on and rest."
Su Lanxi saw that the alarm had woken up Ma Tao, and quickly asked him to rest for a while.
Sure enough, two black spots appeared on the horizon under the scorching sun. As the black spots slowly approached, it turned out that they were indeed two more Noah command vehicles that only had secondary artillery attack means.
Seeing this kind of garbage, Xiao Jinzi lost his temper first, turned off the chariot, lay down on the seat, and planned to go to sleep.
After dealing with the two monsters sending g, the team became quiet again and still stopped in place. However, after Ma Tao woke up, he couldn't fall asleep. After tossing and turning, he simply stopped sleeping and came to the two women's side, leaning down. I took a look at the outside world displayed on the screen.
Most people are taking a break
They were resting either in tents or in chariots. There were only two or three people on guard duty wandering around blindly under the burning sun. The high temperature and heat were constantly destroying everyone's nerves and physical strength. Some of them simply stopped patrolling. I hid, so I hid in a cooler place and enjoyed the coolness.
"Drink some water?"
Su Lanyu, the co-pilot, handed the kettle to Ma Tao.
"Thanks"
Ma Tao, who happened to wake up and was a little thirsty, took it and drank two sips, then turned around and took the turban behind him to wrap his head.
"Do you want to get out of the car?"
Su Lanxi looked at him in surprise.
"Go out and use the restroom"
After Ma Tao finished speaking, he was about to climb out of the car. The twin sisters blushed and looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
As soon as he opened the hatch, the heat from outside poured into the car overwhelmingly. Almost instantly, Ma Tao felt a hot feeling on the top of his head. He knew it was being heated by the sun above his head. Fortunately, he was wearing a headscarf. Otherwise, the strong sunlight will directly irradiate the scalp, which will cause unbearable pain in a short time. When human skin is exposed to such sunlight, it will soon be sunburned or even peeled.
Looking around, there is no need to consider the surroundings of the tank. Today's tanks are basically visible from all directions. Ma Tao is not an exhibitionist. He doesn't want to be watched around his own tank, and he doesn't want to solve problems next to other people's tanks. , I have no choice but to walk a little further away.
Walking more than 20 meters outside the camp under the dizzying sun, I still saw the endless Gobi desert in front of me.
Okay, that's it.
There was nothing in front of him. Ma Tao looked back and saw that there was no one behind him, so he turned his back to the sun and prepared to release water.
After the fluid accumulated in his bladder was emptied, Ma Tao walked back while holding up his pants, completely unaware that behind him, the swaying horizon line between heaven and earth began to become thicker and thicker.
Just when Ma Tao was about to return to his side's chariot, the few people in the camp who were originally responsible for guarding but looking for a place to cool down habitually looked at Ma Tao, the man who went out to release water, but as they watched, there was The eyes of the two people changed first.
First they were tired from the heat, and then they were out of curiosity to see Ma Tao out doing activities under the scorching sun. The next second, they noticed the increasingly obvious horizon behind Ma Tao, and then their eyes changed. He became more cautious, staring closely in the direction behind Ma Tao, first confused and finally frightened, his eyes gradually becoming wider and full of panic.
Ma Tao noticed that these people were looking at something wrong, and thought that some terrifying monster appeared behind him. He subconsciously turned around to look. This was incredible. Behind him, the originally looming horizon had expanded to less than a few meters away from them. Kilometers away.
There is no horizon here, but a huge sandstorm that is sweeping over! ! !
"The black sand storm...the black sand storm is coming!!!!"
"The sandstorm is coming!!!"
Some people stretched out their trembling fingers and pointed at the sandstorm that was sweeping across the sky and the earth, howling and rolling, trying to find a place to hide, but in this endless Gobi desert, not even a tree could be seen, so where could one hide? This guy looked around, his face instantly lost all color, and he was so scared that he peed his pants.
"Woo~~~"
The alert people sounded the horn siren immediately.
Boom! Boom~~~
A tank fired a cannon directly, with the purpose of waking up everyone, because only the sound of exploding cannonballs was loud enough in the vast desert, and it was much easier to use than the horn.
Everyone in the entire camp was awakened by the sound of the alarm, and those who left their tents became extremely ugly when they saw the sandstorm getting closer and closer to the sky and the earth.
Looking at the engulfing storm behind him, Ma Tao also knew that something was wrong, so he ran towards his chariot.
People who have lived here all year round know the horror of black sandstorms best. If any team encounters it, it will be the biggest misfortune in your life. The mortality rate is super high. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, I am afraid you will suffer heavy losses. Absolutely Lost all his money.
When Ma Tao ran to his chariot, there were already people in the camp kneeling on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, begging God for forgiveness, and starting to pray. Most of them were holding their own things and running around like headless chickens. They all Not knowing where to hide, the whole camp was crying and howling, intertwined with the sound of the approaching storm, an absolute misery before hell.
For the first time, Ma Tao felt that this ghost place was really weird. You obviously couldn't feel the slightest bit of wind, but it could form such a large and terrifying sandstorm.
As he was running back, the sky and the earth began to become dark and gloomy, followed by the pungent smell of dust, which filled the nostrils. Ma Tao immediately noticed the sign of extremely difficult breathing. He knew that the sandstorm had arrived. .
Seeing that he was less than five meters away from his chariot, the sky suddenly darkened, the strong wind roared in his ears, and nothing could be heard. The sky was full of yellow sand mixed with small stones, hitting people. His body ached, but Ma Tao felt fine because he was wearing a silver mecha and couldn't feel the pain.
His eyes felt like he was blind, there was yellow sand everywhere, and the visibility was less than one meter. The extreme difficulty in breathing made Ma Tao subconsciously open his mouth to breathe, but what followed was a mouth full of sand, and Ma Tao choked and began to violently Cough.
The sound of the wind is whining, occasionally with one or two screams, and the flying gravel hits the chariot, making a "dang" sound. A strong wind can really blow the stones rolling all over the ground, and it happens to be because of Ma Tao With his back to the sandstorm, with the help of a strong wind, he felt like he was flying up. But within a second of flying tightly, Ma Tao hit the armor of the steel chariot heavily, and he was confused. Yes, Ma Tao discovered that the armor of the chariot was actually red, and it was his own wolf chariot. He quickly grabbed hold of it with his hands, letting the wind and sand constantly beat him, and climbed towards the hatch with all his strength.
This short distance of a few meters, which usually only takes two seconds, has now become extremely difficult. Relying entirely on his familiarity with the chariot, Ma Tao finally climbed to the hatch and opened the hatch with great effort, without hesitation. He jumped down, and then quickly closed the hatch above his head. In just a moment, countless amounts of sand were blown into the chariot. Ma Tao, who had just stood firm, felt something before he could take a breath. The body choked and fell into his arms.
"It's okay, it's okay... I'm not coming back now..."
Ma Tao, who was still frightened, patted the person in his arms gently, turned around and saw Su Lanyu standing beside him. Although he didn't speak, his red and swollen eyes said everything.
