In the bar, the surrounding customers provided a lot of information about the mysterious arsenal, but there wasn't much specific information, and it couldn't be considered a secret. However, the bar was a place for recreation after all. After talking for a while, This topic is bypassed.
As time went by, all the snacks and drinks on the table were wiped out, and everyone wandered back to their hotels in a slightly tipsy state.
Alcohol can make people fall asleep very well and make them talkless all night.
The next day, the morning sun passed through the gap in the curtains and shone on the bedding. One of the rays of rays of rays of rays just hit Ma Tao's eyes. Ma Tao, who was hugging the twins on his left and right, was awakened by the dazzling sunlight. As he moved his somewhat stiff arms, the two women also woke up one after another.
There was endless spring in the quilt, but after all, it still couldn't resist the hunger in my belly. I got up and ate some food that was already a little cold, which was considered eating.
Recalling what happened about the arsenal in the bar yesterday, Ma Tao was a little dazed.
"What's wrong? How about I take these and heat them up?" Su Lanxi, who was dining with him, saw Ma Tao chewing his food dully and thought the food was not to his liking.
"Oh, no, I was thinking about the arsenal," Ma Tao explained, shaking his head.
"Are you going to look for it?" When her sister Su Lanyu heard Ma Tao say this, she could already guess that Ma Tao must have had this idea.
"Not yet, I'm just thinking about it." Ma Tao shook his head again. Yesterday, so many people were talking about the dangers of the arsenal. This must not be groundless. If you rush there without complete preparations, you will die.
"No matter what you want to do, we will support you, as long as we are together." After experiencing so much, how could my sister Su Lanxi not understand the man she is? He is definitely not someone who can talk about his character and temperament casually, but Su Lanxi doesn't care. As long as they are together, even if it is a sea of knife, she is not afraid. As she spoke, she took the initiative to hold Ma Tao's hand. .
"Go if you want to. Hesitation will only make people look down on you." Sister Su Lanyu glanced at him and used words to add fuel to his anger.
"The ones who know me are you two sisters." The latter took advantage of the situation and hugged the two girls into his arms.
The matter of the arsenal was imperative, and what was needed was a character of mind. Ma Tao also made up his mind. Three days later, he set off to find the arsenal that made people talk about it. This matter, he felt in his heart. After making a decision, he immediately used his communication watch to send the departure time and where to go to everyone, and soon received their replies.
Xiao Jinzi was a fan of inventions and manufacturing. A place like the arsenal was the paradise he dreamed of. He responded to Ma Tao with a lot of chatter. Ma Tao didn't bother to read what the boy said. Gao Han simply said, Just one word, 'OK', and my sister also replied that I know.
To find that arsenal, you naturally need to make some preparations in advance. Food and drinking water are the first priority, and other daily necessities also need to be replenished. These all take time, and the next time is mainly to purchase these.
In this way, when everything was ready, it was almost time. Finally, it was the day to set off. The rest of the past few days relieved a lot of fatigue for everyone, and everyone gathered again and was full of energy.
The shields and ammunition of the four tanks have been replenished, and the bodies are also very clean. They have obviously been cleaned. In the past few days in Kara Town, everyone has met some people, but they cannot be said to be familiar. They can only be called mixed. After all, they had only been here a few days. When the four tank teams left the town along the north exit, the people around them were not too curious, and it was not that there were no people who came to Kara Town. , there were many who walked out, but they just regarded them as one of the many people who came before and followed. No one sent them off, and no one cheered. If there was, I'm afraid it was just a little regret leaking from some people's eyes. , however, in a corner of Kara Town, Bimi's father stood inside the fence and looked at the convoy that was gradually moving away. It was not until the four chariots disappeared from sight that Bimi's father sighed slightly.
"Dad, I also want to be a bounty hunter." Nine-year-old Bimi stood beside his father. He didn't understand why his father sighed as he looked at the retreating convoy. He thought his father envied those who owned chariots, because, he I am also envious and want to be that kind of person.
"It's easy to become a bounty hunter, but it's difficult to be a truly great bounty hunter. There are some things you have to do." As he spoke, Bimi's father lowered his head and touched his son's head, and then He smiled and said: "My son, if you want to become a bounty hunter, you must first learn to be brave. This cannot be accomplished by just talking."
"I will be brave..." Bimi defended unconvincedly, knowing what his father was talking about.
Along the road to the north of the town, it passes through the lake surrounding Kara Town. Going forward, there is an endless mountain. Chariots cannot go up the mountain. There is no need to think about it. According to what the man said, along the To the west of the lake, you will see a strange building. The convoy turned directly and searched for the west side of the lake.
The convoy moves forward at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. This speed is not very fast, nor is it very slow. It mainly makes it easier to look at the surrounding environment and reference objects along the way to avoid losing the direction. As for the monsters encountered from time to time, they can be completely ignored. , Why do you say that? This is also where Ma Tao has some doubts, because the monsters near Kara Town are so weak that they don’t need them, like giant ants, killer bugs, etc. Seeing this kind of monsters that are so weak that they need them, Ma Tao The monsters that can only be recalled by searching for memories from a long time ago have no possibility of posing a threat. In fact, there is no need for secondary guns. Just drive the car and crush them, killing the one or two grunts left by these monsters. , too lazy to get out of the car to collect them, so they left them in the wilderness.
After traveling westwards for more than 100 kilometers, the convoy stopped.
There was a fork in the road here. The mountain range originally located in the north had a short cross section, which was a geographical environment similar to the Grand Canyon. There were mountains on both sides and a plain in the middle. In order to confirm the environment, Xiao Jinzi opened the map. My sister also released her drone and climbed to a high altitude to get a bird's-eye view of the general environment within a few kilometers.
By zooming in on the satellite map, you can see from the map that they are now at the entrance of the canyon. Continuing to the west, there is no road. The same continuous mountains lie in front of everyone. This mountain range even extends to To the south, Xiao Jinzi zoomed in on the map for a long time, but still could not see the end of this mountain range. In other words, there was no way around it. Then, the only way left was the Grand Canyon in the south. So First of all, the mysterious arsenal should be inside the Grand Canyon.
Seeing Xiao Jinzi's skillful use of the map, Ma Tao was very happy to have such a useful thing in his hands. If he didn't have a map that could adjust the satellite radar, then his group would have to search around the mountain at the foot of the mountain first. I walked all over before entering the Grand Canyon, fearing that I would miss the specific location of the arsenal due to my omissions. After all, people in the town only said that they were protecting the town. The specific location of the west side of the lake is not certain. The area on the west side is quite large.
The convoy took a short rest and then entered the Grand Canyon.
The dense trees growing at the foot of the mountains on both sides of the canyon indicate that the water resources are very fertile. After all, it is at the foot of the mountain. Most of the water on the mountain will flow down the mountain. This makes the trees at the foot of the canyon on both sides grow very lush. In addition, the canyon It belongs to the north-south direction and can be regarded as transparent from north to south. It is very wind-collected. The branches of the trees on both sides are constantly rustling by the wind. The wind force outside has been maintained at about level 4 or 5. It can be imagined that when lightning strikes On thunderous rainy days, the wind here will be very strong, but it doesn't matter now. Not to mention the terrifying sandstorms I experienced in the desert before that could overturn even lighter tanks. This wind force is not strong enough for dozens of tons. For a heavy tank, it has no impact at all.
In the canyon, a looming dirt road gradually appeared on the originally green wilderness. As you go deeper into the canyon, the dirt road becomes more obvious, until the dirt road begins to expose the sand. After careful identification, you can still vaguely see where it is. There are traces of the original paved roads, which are the result of frequent vehicles running over them. The traces of time have caused the wind to bring up dust and silt, slowly covering the roads that may have originally been there. Grass seeds that fell randomly fell to the ground to germinate and take root. However, after all, there is still the cornerstone of the road below, and the weeds cannot really take root, let alone penetrate deeply into the ground. Over the years, after being crushed by various tanks heading to the arsenal, the weeds have been crushed deeply into the soil. In the process, slowly, it became more and more compacted, and became more and more compacted. It was exposed to wind and sun, and then desertified. Finally, such a dirt road was formed.
As the road ahead becomes more and more obvious, finally, traces of human existence slowly emerge before everyone's eyes.
The collapsed high-rise factory buildings have been covered by lush plants. Except for those buildings that are occasionally exposed to the outside, there are no traces of human existence. In some places, some broken chariots are parked, and the damage is very serious. , such as those that were burned or blown up, are no longer usable. Of course, if the scrap iron is recycled and recast, it can be used as materials, but I guess no one will go so far away and risk their lives. Transporting dozens or even hundreds of tons of stuff back, not to mention whether it's worth it, just talking about how to transport tens of tons of stuff back, is a huge problem, and basically no one would do it. Of course, some people have also thought about dismantling these things, dividing them into small pieces and transporting them back to human strongholds. It can be calculated comprehensively. Throw away equipment such as cutting machines, transportation, and time. The labor alone is an astronomical figure, and in this world , it is precisely the most expensive thing is labor. In conversion, this is a loss-making business. If the distance is very close and the risk factor is not high, the reward is still very objective, but those good things at close range have long been eliminated by people around the town. They have searched everything outside, how could there be any leftovers?
The sister released her aircraft again. From a high altitude bird's-eye view, she could clearly see the general appearance of the entire arsenal.
The arsenal covers a very vast area, covering more than 300,000 square meters. It is located in the mountains and is surrounded by mountains. The outermost perimeter is surrounded by walls nearly ten meters high. You can also see old buildings with power grids on them. There are traces of construction, but those power grids have long been in tatters. It can be seen from the surrounding walls alone that the security scale here was still very strict.
The only way in and out of the entire arsenal is this canyon. The gate of the arsenal, which once needed to be heavily guarded, has long been in ruins. It is full of asphalt roads. Under the erosion of the past few decades, even the high-quality and nearly half-meter-deep The asphalt road is also cracked and weathered in many places. Many places are overgrown with weeds, and towering trees have grown in some places, which shows the tenacious vitality of plants in this world.
The buildings surrounding the innermost side of the wall have basically collapsed. The outline of the building is still there, but no one would want to go up and take a look, because the green plants covered with it have told you that no humans will live there. Even if there are traces inside, they are probably Noah's monsters.
Because the area of the arsenal is too large and vast, at this moment, everyone came to my sister's minibus and observed Xiao Jinzi's radar map and the external situation that my sister projected on the screen.
"Look here!" Xiao Jinzi was carefully manipulating the map radar to carefully discern the outline of the arsenal. Finally, in the southwest corner, he found a large group of low buildings, although they were also covered with various green plants. , but you can still see clearly that the low-rise buildings are still very intact. They have been around for decades and almost a hundred years. The quality of the buildings is really good. It is estimated that this is the quality of military industry.
"This should be the factory area of the arsenal," Gao Han said with certainty as he stared at the video image on the radar.
"I'll fly over and have a look." On the side, my sister was sitting in the passenger seat of the minibus. After hearing this, she controlled the drone that was hovering over the convoy to fly towards the factory area where Xiao Jinzi found it.
As the drone moved, the general situation of the factory area became clearer and clearer on the screen in the car.
"Be careful!" Ma Tao reminded his sister. After all, the factory area is too big, and it is normal for any monsters to be hidden in it. Once my sister's aircraft is damaged, it will indirectly mean that her sister will receive ?????? ??????????hurt.
"Don't worry," my sister replied with a smile, slightly increasing the speed of the aircraft to avoid the possibility of being attacked.
】
It circled the vast factory area twice. The aircraft swooped from time to time at low altitude and never stayed in one place for too long. Fortunately, it did not receive any attacks. However, it was not without any situation. From the picture transmitted back by my sister, It can be clearly seen that as the aircraft quickly hovers over the area outside the factory, there will be some commotion suddenly in some overgrown areas, and then some huge Noah monsters will crawl out, such as fire-breathing crocodiles and sonic snakes. Wait, they are all big guys with rough skin and thick flesh. It is estimated that these monsters were alarmed when they saw the aircraft in mid-air. But in any case, most of the attack targets of these Noah monsters are humans. My sister’s aircraft is not human. , Two-one, this thing is too small to attract attention, so these huge monsters did not attack the aircraft.
"It doesn't look like anything?" Su Lanxi said.
"The quieter it is, the more inappropriate it is. Don't forget, the people in the town said that many people have been here, but few have gone back." Su Lanyu didn't see it that way. She was not as naive as her younger sister. Meetings are safe.
"Although I haven't been attacked, I always feel that something is wrong here," Xiao Jinzi also nodded and said.
"No matter what, instead of guessing here, it's better to go in and take a look." Ma Tao was not looking at the video pictures transmitted back by his sister through the aircraft, and then asked his sister to take back the aircraft and prepared to lead everyone into the arsenal.
Everyone returned to their respective chariots, started the chariots, and the convoy dispersed, heading towards the arsenal area. They were not attacked by monsters along the way, which was quite lucky.
When I used my sister's drone to investigate earlier, I had seen that the door of the arsenal was already rusty, and it was a heavy alloy door that could only be opened with heavy mechanical power. If there was no electricity, Supply, there is no way to open it. However, human brains are still very smart. If you can't go through the door, then open a door yourself. To the east of this factory area, which is directly opposite the direction of the convoy, there is a place that has been violently used. The gap opened by the bombing.
The opening is large enough for two or three tanks to pass side by side. Looking at the nearly one meter thick reinforced concrete wall at the break of the factory wall, it must have been used a lot by the people who originally blew up the gap. High explosives, or penetrating artillery shells, such as iron bullets or steel bullets. Otherwise, it would be a fool's errand to open such a big hole in this meter-thick wall.
Amidst the roar of the engines, four tanks slowly drove into the arsenal from the gap.
After entering, there is a wide passage. The cement wall is still there, and the ground is all made of concrete. It can be seen that the huge amount of money consumed in the establishment of this arsenal must have been an astronomical figure.
After entering, the right side is the end of the passage. The wall is sealed, and you can only go left, that is, south. It is estimated that this should be a place for storage or temporary storage of goods. Above your head, there are rows of tracks laid. , seeing these familiar tracks, Ma Tao couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jinzi. There is no doubt that there should be Noah's machine here.
Sure enough, just after driving along the passage for a few dozen meters, the sound of rapidly rotating mechanical pulleys came over. Listening to the sound, it was coming towards him.
