Ma Tao did not deal with the corpses in the refrigerator. Firstly, because they were frozen to a solid state, it would take a long time to properly clean and dispose of the corpses. Secondly, other people who came here should also know about the situation here. , let the people in Tower Town or Kara Town know the current situation here. Generally speaking, new people will be on duty here soon. After all, such a human garrison point close to the water source, just shuttle The profits brought by the fleet are very considerable.
In the past few days, everyone's chariot ammunition and shields have not been lost much, and Ma Tao has no intention of staying here longer. He just wants to come here to inquire and see if anyone knows the exact location of Kara Town. Now, come here, This idea is going nowhere.
Everyone returned to the chariot, and Ma Tao briefly explained the situation inside to Xiao Jinzi through his watch. As for Su Lanxi, who was riding with him, he already knew the general situation from his sister Su Lanyu's narration.
"These guys are so crazy. They really have everyone, and they have the ability to fight monsters." Xiao Jinzi cursed angrily after hearing this.
"Since ancient times, people have been separated from each other, either for money or for some unknown things. As the saying goes, the bustling world is all for profit, and the world is hustle and bustle, all for profit. In this world, be careful, you are right." Sister R
The sound came from the watch.
"Sister is right, you can't believe everyone." After Ma Tao finished speaking, he looked at Su Lanxi, the co-pilot, and saw that she was talking and laughing with Su Lanyu, not paying attention to him. topic here.
After replenishing enough fresh water, everyone left this temporary supply point that was no longer occupied, and the convoy continued to set off, once again embarking on the road to find Kara Town.
At this point, I have to talk about the surrounding environment. Looking around, to the west is an endless desert. The ground is full of granular sand. Occasionally, you can see a few dry trees and branches standing on the yellow sand, giving the boundless view. The desert adds a sense of loss of life. Entering the desert rashly is the most stupid behavior. Therefore, walking close to the mountains to the east is the most correct choice. Generally speaking, Cala Calm cannot be established. In the desert, there must be a source of water. The continuous mountains in the east not only successfully block the spread of the desert, but are also the turning point between the Sea of Death and life. The closer you are to the mountains, the more the plants grow. It is getting denser and denser, spreading to the mountains, and is already a lush green patch. This natural barrier intercepts the entire desert. It has to be said that the magical creation of nature is really ingenious that humans cannot easily shake.
What’s surprising is that the monsters encountered one after another here are so weak that it’s ridiculous. Since passing the unmanned supply point, the opportunities the team has encountered are all rubbish. The most annoying ones are flying dogs and blue bottles. The biological gun monsters, the biological gun is a little better. Under the power of the secondary artillery fire dragon, it is basically destroyed without any chance of resistance. There are only a few pitiful monsters left. The most annoying thing is the flying dog. This thing has a head like an owl. After Noah's biological and mechanical modifications, the monster's mouth was changed into a rifle. The power is still garbage, but this little monster is annoying. It is a flying type. It comes and goes without a trace and is extremely fast. The secondary guns of Ma Tao's chariots are basically equipped with fire dragons. Generally speaking, this kind of group-killing range attack secondary guns are used to deal with small monsters. Clearing the field is the best, but the only drawback is the attack range. Although the power of the fire dragon will be improved in this hot and arid desert area, it still cannot keep up with the moving speed of the flying dog. The little thing is too fast. , even Xiao Jinzi's control will still miss frequently.
The flying dog's attack is its modified mechanical rifle mouth. Its power is only an energy point that can destroy the tank. Sometimes, its attack does not break the defense. But the problem is, if you let it go, it will As it gathers in the sky, this thing will gather more and more like vultures that have smelled the rancid smell, and finally attack you in large groups. It is a typical harassing monster, which forces you to be there when there are still a few of them. The interesting thing is that garbage monsters like flying dogs still have a certain IQ. After discovering that their companions have been killed, most flying dogs will run away instead of stubbornly continuing to attack.
As sunset approached, the convoy had to start looking for a safe place to stay overnight. After nearly four days of long journey, they had finally escaped from the most brutal black desert area. Although the temperature difference between day and night was still very large, Compared with the Black Desert, it is much better now. The maximum temperature during the day is only around 30 degrees Celsius and does not exceed 40 degrees Celsius at most. At night, it is around zero degrees. You must know that they were at the edge of the Black Desert before. Location, the daytime temperature is generally above 40 degrees Celsius. Even in Tower Town, where almost no one can go out under the scorching sun during the day, the temperature here is already quite comfortable.
After finding a location in a mountain col, surrounded by mountains on three sides and sheltered from the wind, Ma Tao prepared to drive there, but suddenly, there were cluttered grass in the mountain col, and a huge blue figure emerged. It turned out to be an AT Tank, this is the first Noah monster that they have encountered since they came out of Tower Town.
"It seems that not only we have fallen in love with this place, but also Noah likes it here." Ma Tao couldn't help but smile as he looked at the huge car that was heading towards everyone.
"How great. If this thing comes out a little later, it might really scare me." Xiao Jinzi said haha. He turned the rudder and the No. 4 Leopard Tank turned sideways. Xiao Jinzi directly turned on the tank. The optical camouflage rushed towards the AT tank from the flank. Under the cover of the optical camouflage, the dozens of tons of Leopard tanks were almost imperceptible to the naked eye. All the monsters this boy encountered in the past few days were garbage monsters. , it’s not easy to meet someone who has been resisting and fighting. He must be holding it back and wants to go up and fight.
"When did he buy this thing?" Ma Tao glanced at the sisters Su Lanxi and Su Lanyu beside him in surprise, but the two girls also shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
"It should have been when we were in Seoul. Maybe his dad prepared it." Because Ma Tao kept his communication watch on, others could hear his voice, so his sister answered.
"It is said that this kind of technology is not cheap. It would be nice to have a rich and powerful father." Gao Han looked at the Panther like a ghost tank with a hint of sour envy in his tone.
"Don't worry. When we return to Seoul, I will put on all the chariots for all of you, but there is nothing we can do this time." Xiao Jinzi, who was controlling the chariot battle, heard the conversation inside and replied with a smile.
Boom boom!
The AT tank with one-wheel tracks launched the attack first when it was still more than 300 meters away from the convoy. Two flames came out of the thick and long muzzle, and the bombing started in a demonstrative manner. The target was pointed directly at the convoy of people in front, but He didn't notice that Xiao Jinzi's green Panther had circled back to its flank.
"They are monsters after all, but their intelligence is a flaw." Listening to the sonic boom caused by the roaring shells tearing the air, Ma Tao judged that the impact point of the two shells should not be far from them, but they would not hit them. chariot.
Sure enough, with two loud booms and booms, the land in front of the convoy was violently lifted up. The surging shock wave removed several dead trees around it with devastating force, causing only a few dozen points of damage to everyone. Loss of shield.
At this time, Xiao Jinzi had successfully approached the flank of the AT tank, only a hundred meters away from the target. From this position, he could clearly see every weapon on the AT tank, even the rust that had corroded over time. Under the protection of optical camouflage, the Panther tank was almost invisible, so that the AT tank did not check and notice its approach.
"Big baby, bear with it, it might hurt a little..." An evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He glanced at the C device that was automatically locked in the middle of the side of the AT tank. Xiao Jinzi slowly turned on the fire control switch.
"Let's start an explosion..." After locking the target, Xiao Jinzi pressed the red button without hesitation.
boom!
The 165t gun roared, spitting out tongues of flame more than three meters long. The hot shells hit the right shield armor of the AT tank. The bursting fire tore through the side armor of the AT tank. After the shelling fire, it could be clearly seen that Xiao Jinzi's attack directly blasted a gap in the shell, and black smoke billowed out.
The AT tank under attack began to spin in place, looking for its target.
Xiao Jinzi was not hesitant. He directly removed the camouflage of the tank's optical camouflage and rushed towards the heavily damaged AT tank. This action finally allowed the AT tank to find the source of its target.
Taking advantage of the warehouse turning around, the heavy body of the AT tank had not yet finished adjusting. Xiao Jinzi fired two more shots in succession, immediately completely misfiring the AT tank. When the No. 4 Leopard tank rushed forward, the AT tank The tank can no longer even move its muzzle.
A shell destroyed the control system on the head of the AT tank, which meant that the battle came to a complete end.
The AT tank that was destroyed gained more than 600g, which was a pretty good profit. However, Ma Tao is no longer short of money now, because the amount on the anonymous identification card that Qian Santai gave him before Ma Tao checked it secretly. Good guy, those few people inside made Ma Tao's jaw drop in shock.
After solving this sudden episode, this small mountain col surrounded by mountains on three sides became theirs. Seeing that it was getting later and later and darkness began to cover the land, everyone knew that they needed to camp for the night quickly. It wouldn't take long. When night falls completely, the temperature will plummet.
"Look over there!" At this moment, after collecting more than 600 grams of small gold from the AT tank, he was about to return to the car. When he looked up, he saw the west, deep in the desert, suddenly in the direction of sunset in the west. A faint black cloud column appeared. After being surprised for two seconds, Xiao Jinzi realized what it was. Yes, it was smoke.
Smoke in the wild is also particular. In ordinary life, the smoke from cooking is light gray and floats in the air. However, the smoke from a bonfire that has just been raised is black and thick and does not disperse. In places where there is no wind, it will It forms a column of smoke that shoots straight into the sky. The ancients used smoke to warn people. Take wolf smoke as an example. The smoke of wolf dung goes straight up and is used in beacon fires. In ancient times, border guards used wolf dung to burn smoke to generate smoke to alert the police. Later, wolf smoke was often used to indicate war, but real wolf smoke burns. Yes, it is cow dung. This kind of smoke is extremely thick and does not easily dissipate in the air. Once it burns, it can be seen clearly for dozens of kilometers.
Normally, the most important thing for people living in the wild is to be secretive. Whether they are monsters or people, they may be attracted by smoke and exposed. Situations like this that cause smoke are rare and are generally used. Smokeless stoves, so-called smokeless stoves, are actually a kind of technology. This kind of stove can be used by a single person in the wild with only an engineering shovel in five minutes. It is light-free and smoke-free and cannot be found even if it is not too close. , and this kind of technology is basically known to people in the end of the world, because most people who don’t know it are already lying somewhere, integrated with the earth.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the method of smokeless stove is also very simple. First dig a trapezoidal pit, then dig a smaller one about 30 centimeters away from the pit, and then penetrate the two holes from the bottom to remove all the excavated soil. Pile it around the opening of No. 1 hole and pat it down to enhance its light protection. Dig three flues extending back above the openings of the two holes. Then place the pot at the entrance of No. 2 hole and fill the sides with soil. In the flue Cover the top with branches, wheat straw and the like, cover it with soil, and hide the flue according to the method of being close and sparse around the pot. Put the fire starter from the bottom of pit No. 1 into pit No. 2, add firewood, There is a simpler way to cook. Find a ridged place, dig the stove into it from the vertical surface, and make a hole in the top to put the pot. Make two small holes on both sides of the stove, and dig a two-meter shallow ditch along the hole to draw the smoke in. Cover the ditch with grass, and that's it.
"It's smoke." Ma Tao looked in the direction where Xiao Jinzi was looking. He also saw that the smoke was changing from thick to thin. Where there was smoke, there must be someone there.
"Pack your things, let's go take a look." The place where the smoke was seen was not too far away from them. Ma Tao hesitated and finally decided to go and take a look.
"Ah? Aren't you going to clean it up?" Su Lanxi and Su Lanyu, who had just got off the bus, were preparing to clean up the weeds. The sister in the No. 3 minibus had just brought down the tools. After hearing this, she had to put them back again. in the car.
"Let's go and have a look. Maybe we can be of some help." Ma Tao finally decided not to be a cold-blooded person.
If something like this happens in the wild, something unstoppable must have happened. It is very likely that there is a battle going on over there. However, judging from the smoke and dust, the scale of the battle should be quite large. It is not like Xiao Jinzi just now. It would be easy to deal with that AT tank, otherwise, the rising smoke would have dissipated in the air before it condensed. Of course, Ma Tao had already made up his mind. When he got there, if it was a battle between humans, Then observe for a while. At least when both of them discover the emergence of a third party, as long as they are not too stupid or have no brains at all, they will basically stop fighting and observe the situation first. After all, no one wants to Become the mantis chasing the cicada, the mantis behind the oriole. If it is a battle between humans and monsters, it would be simple. Just take action and eliminate all the monsters. After all, humans and monsters are always incompatible. two hostile worlds.
Taking advantage of the darkening night, the team had to turn on the night lighting equipment. Fortunately, the sky was not completely dark. Ma Tao increased the speed slightly and finally arrived at the incident area before dark.
When we got here, the battle was coming to an end.
This is actually a lake similar to the unmanned supply point we visited during the day. However, this lake is slightly larger than that one, and the surrounding trees are more lush. There is a forest near the lake. At the border with the desert, there are two khaki-colored armored vehicles with a very special appearance parked. However, now, both of them have been blown up, releasing billowing black smoke, which is also the main reason for the formation of black smoke in the air. At this moment, there are still An earth-yellow tank is being besieged by two main battle tanks. It won't take long before it will be destroyed.
It is a kind of tank that is somewhat similar to the prone style of the competition. It has a forward-leaning appearance, a typical high rear and low front. The main attack gun is a flat-firing cannon, and the secondary gun is a burst-firing machine gun. The most distinctive thing about this tank is that it The car's crawler track is designed in segments, and the front and rear tracks are controlled by independent braking systems, so that if one section is interrupted in time, it can still be driven.
In the car, the C device has automatically locked on the strange earth-yellow tank through the screen. On the display screen, the name of the monster and a brief introduction are clearly listed.
'Desert Tiger' A tank known as the "Desert Tiger" is in the desert, possessing powerful maneuverability and firepower, attacking hunters trying to reach the Gate of Hell'
There is very little introduction to the Noah's Monster Desert Tiger Chariot, but it can be seen from the flexible maneuverability of this thing on the sand that it is definitely not a good thing to fight with this monster in the desert.
"It's a monster, can we use it to help?" When he saw the Noah mechanical monster, Xiao Jinzi's fighting enthusiasm burned again.
"They should be able to solve it, they shouldn't need us." Ma Tao shook his head in the car and stopped Xiao Jinzi's suggestion, because at this moment, the only remaining Desert Tiger tank had been hit by two cannons, one of which It must have hit the engine of the Desert Tiger tank. This Noah monster was still emitting black smoke. However, this was not what Ma Tao paid attention to. His eyes were fixed on the area by the lake. Dense woods, and the eye-catching merchant's logo flag on one of the conspicuous trees.
"It's a merchant camp." Su Lanxi also noticed the flag with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
