Chapter 9: The Caravan
Shang Tao burped with satisfaction, this was the most delicious barbecue he had ever eaten, and this was also the first time he had eaten food on this planet in the past few days since he crossed over to this planet, and it was also a pure wild little animal, the taste was really not to say. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In addition to barbecue, Shang Tao also opened a bottle of beer, in this vast prairie, Shang Tao does not have to worry about the traffic police to investigate drunk driving, and he also does not have to worry about traffic accidents, and he did not drink in the morning There were more than a dozen "traffic accidents".
If you want to say that the fly in the ointment is that the beer has not been chilled, the piping hot beer is sour and astringent in the mouth, and the taste is very bad like brushing pot water.
However, on a hot day, it is better to have to drink than not to drink, and Shang Tao is not willing to throw away the empty beer bottle after drinking, in addition to smashing the projectile that can be used as a shotgun, this thing only needs to be filled with gasoline, and then put it in the pluggon strip, use a lighter, and throw it out is a good incendiary bomb.
Of course, the danger factor of this thing is too high, and Shang Tao will not try it easily unless he has to.
After eating the rest of the barbecue, Shang Tao cut two catties and put them in the car, and they could be eaten as snacks in the afternoon, and the rest were distributed to five dogs and a wolf, because the weather was too hot and there was no car refrigerator in the car, these barbecue meat could not be stored for too long.
After packing up the barbecue grill and other tools, Shang Tao used a dagger to pry off the jerky firmly stuck to the roof of the car piece by piece, these pieces of meat have almost been dried eighty percent of the sun, Shang Tao put these jerky into a pocket made of nylon net, and then hung outside the car door to continue to receive the sun.
The vacated roof can also dry another batch of dried meat in the afternoon.
At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Shang Tao drove on the road, and after driving for another four hours, Shang Tao actually saw a road running east-west, judging from the obvious two ruts and trampling marks on this road, there should not be many people walking on this road, otherwise there should be no grass on this road.
Seeing this road, Shang Tao was extremely excited, because if there was a road, it meant that there were intelligent beings on this planet, and these ruts could be seen at a glance, and they should be left by relatively primitive carriages and other vehicles.
Shang Tao decided to change direction and follow this road, and on the question of whether to go east or west, Shang Tao chose to go east without too much hesitation.
He took out a pen and paper, drew a simple road map, and marked the mileage and direction he had traveled on the route map. After putting away the pen and paper, Shang Tao continued to drive east along the road.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Shang Tao, who had been driving all day, was also tired, turned into the grass on the side of the road, and then continued to drive a few kilometers, he planned to stop here for a night of rest, and then continue on the road tomorrow morning.
At this time, Shang Tao seemed to see a faint flash of fire a few kilometers in front of him.
Although the moon has become an elliptical tonight, it is brighter than the night of the full moon on the earth, Shang Tao took out the telescope and forgot about it, and then, Shang Tao smiled and smiled happily.
For about three kilometers away, there was a camp of considerable size, and a dozen wagons full of goods formed a circle around the camp, around which there were people standing guard, and a group of men and horses carrying torches, patrolling around the camp from time to time.
Judging from the costumes of these people and the buns tied on the top of their heads, they are no different from the ancients that Shang Tao saw in the TV series.
Shang Tao couldn't wait to drive the car over immediately, but after calming down, Shang Tao felt that it was very inappropriate to pass like this, and he was incompatible with this group of people in terms of clothing and hairstyle, and as for this car, it was even more shocking.
Shang Tao was very entangled now, and he was entangled in how to come forward to greet these people.
Driving over, Shang Tao was afraid that he would scare the other party, and he was even more afraid that the other party would covet his equipment, as a traverser, if he hadn't made a big show and created a shocking achievement, he would have been killed by a group of natives for money, then he would really lose face to his grandmother's house.
Walking over, Shang Tao was worried that he would be shot into a hedgehog by the other party as a camper before he got closer.
Shang Tao had a sense of powerlessness that he couldn't understand, no matter what, it was not wise to go over tonight, maybe he could consider driving the car in front of them early tomorrow, and then stop on the side of the road and wait for them, to see how they would react when they passed by.
Although this is not a good idea, Shang Tao can't think of a better idea for a while, so he can only rest first.
At night, Shang Tao was awakened by the sound of a dog barking, he thought that someone had attacked him, so he immediately adjusted his seat, and was about to start the car to escape from the dangerous place, when he saw a fire in the distance, and it seemed that the camp should have been attacked.
Shang Tao took out his binoculars and looked at the sea of fire, and saw that at least hundreds of people on horseback were attacking the camp from all directions, which did not look like horse bandits robbing, but more like enemies seeking revenge, because the attackers directly set fire to many wagons full of goods with rockets.
From time to time, the passive defensive side has someone who is shot by a sword and falls to the ground, or is cut to the ground by an attacker's charge, although the defender is also fighting back with a bow and arrow, but the horse bandits are very scattered, and the horses brake flexibly, so they are shot very few, almost a one-sided slaughter, and if this continues, it is estimated that the defender will not last long.
It was the first time Shang Tao had seen such a bloody battle in reality, and seeing those people fall one after another, Shang Tao's heart began to tremble, but in a flash of light, Shang Tao also realized that this was an opportunity, a best opportunity.
As long as he rescues this caravan from this group of attackers, then he will be able to fully integrate into this world.
No matter what kind of world you are in, unless you meet that kind of inhumane and ungrateful villain, life-saving benefactors are generally very useful, and Shang Tao doesn't ask them how to repay him, he just needs a legal identity and can integrate into this world, for the leader of a caravan, this kind of thing is almost a gesture.
Life is to face all kinds of opportunities and choices, in the face of this kind of opportunity related to his own fate, Shang Tao decisively chose to attack, on the one hand, because such an opportunity is not always available, there is a way to never miss the time and never come.
On the other hand, he has done so much preparation work in advance, although the attackers are outnumbered, but he has a car that is far faster than a horse, and the headlights of the car are modified xenon headlights, if the brightness is directly aimed at the opponent's eyes, it means that the opponent can hardly see anything, and this car is also welded with sharp ramming angles, in addition, he has three shotguns in his hand, no matter how you calculate it, it is his own victory surface, and it is much bigger.
If you want to escape, you can throw this group of people far away in minutes.
Shang Tao, who decided to launch a sneak attack, was already boiling at the moment, and at the same time he became very nervous, even the palms of his hands holding the steering wheel were already full of sweat, and he couldn't help but tremble.
Shang Tao secretly reminded himself to be calm, then took a few deep breaths, and then wiped his hands on his clothes repeatedly before buckling his seat belt.
After holding the steering wheel again, Shang Tao gritted his teeth, resolutely started the pickup, turned on the light, and quietly drove towards the battlefield, and when there was still about 1 km away from the battlefield in front of him, he slowly accelerated and rushed over.
