Chapter 2 The Unknown Ahead
After her sister left, the two robots followed her.
The shattered memory made Ma Tao know that the flying machine and the mechanical cat were two mischievous benign robots taken in by his sister and would not pose a threat to him.
Now that it is alive again, it cannot be decadent anymore.
Just do it, get up and get dressed, and move his limbs, Ma Tao is very satisfied with this body, strong and energetic.
The next thing is to prepare all the materials to become a hunter, except for the 30G given by his sister and his own 20G Ma Tao found that he really had nothing else.
According to his memory, Ma Tao found his only weapon in his small room.
A modified and thickened slingshot, a hundred iron balls, don't look at much, but stones of about the same size everywhere are also magic weapons that can be used to attack by slingshots.
Thinking about it this way, you can attack infinitely, the attack power is okay, and you can shatter the glass bottle when you fire it with all your might.
In the end, Ma Tao counted all his equipment, a coarse cloth coat, a pair of straw sandals, a slingshot, 50G money, a grenade This is the only heavy firepower, and a small black glue pill,
Ma Tao held it in his hand and looked at it, then closed his eyes and thought about it.
This thing is called ginseng pills, and in case of minor trauma, it can be torn open and applied directly to the wound.
It can stop bleeding at a very fast speed, and there should be a small pill in it, which can play an anti-inflammatory and antiviral effect after eating, and at the same time can make people excited, which is a life-saving artifact.
This thing is not cheap, a small pill is worth 50G.
It seems that this guy named Xiao V saved all his expenses and made full preparations for the departure, and finally cheapened himself.
In this case, Ma Tao decided to take care of Xiao V's family, but he didn't plan to tell them the truth, and even made up his mind not to tell the world the truth about himself.
Looking back on his memory, Ma Tao knew that the reason why he had the idea of becoming a hunter was because many years ago there were several well-known bounty hunters in the village, and they were driving a jeep.
Ma Tao: Their village is called Naduo, because the location is very secretive, and the monsters near Naduo Village are not very strong, and even a little weak.
Similarly, there were no high-end bazaars in the village to attract merchants and travelers, let alone important transportation hubs.
Those hunters also found Naduo Village by accident, resting here and replenishing improvised supplies such as weapons and ammunition.
Later, I heard that they had been commissioned by a village to fight in order to stop the attack of a monster villain.
Unfortunately, the village did not escape the monsters' attack in the end, and was captured and killed many people, only a few people who were hiding in the sewers survived, and the bounty hunters were all wiped out and burned to charcoal.
The few who survived recalled that the previous bounty hunters were still very powerful, killing a lot of hooligans and villains, and then no one expected that an S-class modified gold bounty monster appeared, and they were beaten to pieces with their flesh alone, and even the jeep with heavy machine guns was burned to a pile of scrap metal.
But this is not the most important thing, what really makes Xiao V, no, what makes Ma Tao make up his mind now is a legend, a legend that has been circulating in Naduo Village.
It is said that deep in the mountains dozens of kilometers south of Naduo village, there is a secret base, where a chariot, a real chariot, a main battle tank is hidden,
This is the important hope that makes Ma Tao really want to become a bounty hunter, and his flesh and blood will never be able to match the chariot.
Many years ago, in the most famous Hell Gate Breakout, the world-famous gold medal warrior Kalk Lee was turned into scum by artillery because he was deceived into a chariot.
After dressing everything, Ma Tao went down the stairs and made a creaking sound when he stepped on the dilapidated stairs, which was really scary to break the broken stairs with one foot.
Downstairs, my sister had already left, and I looked at the dim hut where the original owner had lived again, and the familiar strangeness was a little gloomy.
Pushing the door and glancing at his father's mechanical technician repair shop in the distance, there is really no nostalgia for Ma Tao, but out of gratitude to the original owner of this body, Xiao V, Ma Tao decided to treat their family well in the future, but for now, finding a chariot and being familiar with everything in this village is the most important thing.
"Boy, do you still want to be a bounty hunter? Forget it."
As soon as he got out of the house, the neighbor's kind uncle greeted Ma Tao with a smile, Ma Tao did not have his content in his memory, but he knew that this uncle was his neighbor, nodded and smiled, which was an answer, and he planned to continue to be busy with his own affairs and observe everything strange around him.
After walking a few steps, Ma Tao found two huge machine boxes.
Upon closer inspection, it was found to be something similar to a gambling machine, but it was too huge, and the things inside were also quite hilarious, full of cannonballs, hypnotic bombs, grenades, and smoke bombs, but unfortunately they were all things that could be used by chariots, and Ma Tao couldn't use them now.
Turning his head to look at the next gambling machine, the things in it made Ma Tao's eyes light up, lead bullet, grenades and ginseng pills These things are really greedy, but the price is ridiculously expensive, it actually costs 50G at a time, and it may not be possible to win the lottery to get even the cheapest, if it weren't for the fact that the iron box is too thick and there are too many people around, Ma Tao really wants to pry it open and steal it all.
Depressedly bypassing the two large iron boxes, Ma Tao found that this was a chariot supply shop, and two clerks were sleeping on the counter.
It is also understandable that Naduo Village is so secret, not many people can find it, and naturally there is not much business, but Ma Tao is also secretly glad that he didn't really pry the cabinet just now, otherwise he would have to be criticized by the village chief again.
It is also interesting to talk about the village chief of Naduo Village, who is not a young old man, who squats at the door of a large tin house in the center of the village all day long.
According to the old village chief, there is a remote teleportation device in that room, which can reorganize and reorganize all materials into particles, and at most can transmit the strength of a company at one time, which is very magical, but it is all legends, and now the dust must have fallen all over a thick layer.
Generations of village chiefs have passed away and no one has ever seen a person come out of the big iron house, everyone said that the thing should be broken, only the village chief and the old man are still insisting on waiting, and after a long time, the village people don't care about him anymore.
Ma Tao left the supply station and went directly to the nearby human equipment store, according to Xiao V's last memory, he was going to buy a watch.
Of course, this is not an ordinary watch, this thing is basically a must-have object for all hunters, called the S scanner,
Because it's shaped like a watch, it's not just a watch, this thing can scan the monster species encountered, record your own driving route seat, and radio talk with your companions and other powerful functions, because it's a must-have, the price is still in the past, 40G, before the money was not enough, but now, Ma Tao has enough to have his ability.
"Little V is here again? Still looking at your watch? ”
As soon as I entered the door, as soon as the electronic doorbell rang, a girl in a blue dress in the house found Ma Tao.
Obviously, he used to come here often to see, and he has become a regular visitor, and a young man in the same blue clothes who looked a few years younger than him glanced at Ma Tao, smiled slightly, and then continued to play a game console in his hand.
"I won't watch it this time, I'll buy it directly"
Ma Tao also smiled back and lay directly in front of the counter, which made the young man on the side look different.
"Really? Uncle agrees that you will take the risk."
The girl was surprised, but she still took out a box of items from the counter behind her and handed it to Ma Tao.
"I said Brother V, although we are very happy to be able to sell something, but I still have to say, it is a matter of death at any time, and no one knows about death, you really think clearly"
The young man in blue also came over and tried to persuade him.
Ma Tao didn't speak, nodded and answered their questions, and the young man in blue sighed and didn't say anything.
"Can I see what else?"
After thinking about it, although he was poor again after buying a scanner watch, Ma Tao still decided to take a look at what was there.
"Of course, what are you saying to us?"
The girl in blue directly took out something similar to a tablet computer for Ma Tao to choose, and Ma Tao took it and found that this was a product introduction instrument, a three-dimensional introduction to the functions and usage methods of the product, and it was simple to copy.
Ma Tao looked at it, in fact, it was really nothing, the weapon was a slingshot 20G, and I felt that it was not as powerful as the slingshot that I had modified.
Then there are the crossbow arrows, which require 80G, and the best is the short guns, which require 180G.
This is a Type 56 small pistol, for Ma Tao, the power is really not great, there is no accurate head fifty meters away, not to mention, the power is even weaker, but this is also the only hot weapon.
Then there are thickened cloth clothes, straw sandals and coarse cloth hats and pants, etc., which are said to be human weapon stores, more of a daily necessities store, as well as human tools, ginseng pills are still the most expensive, and there are various models of wrenches, but what surprised Ma Tao was that he finally saw something powerful here, grenades.
It's exactly the same as what he carried, and there is a burning fire bottle, this thing can continue to cause damage, it's a sharp weapon, but it's a pity that Ma Tao can't afford it, and these are all disposable, with one less one, now there is a grenade to save his life is already very good.
After looking at everything, Ma Tao returned the tablet to the girl in blue, said thank you and planned to leave.
"I'm not sitting at the meeting, you're leaving, but I really don't know when I'll see you again."
The female clerk in blue asked
"No, next time I'll drive back in my chariot."
Ma Tao replied ambitiously.
"What if the legend is false?"
The girl asked
"Then I'll go find the next one!"
Ma Tao frowned, but he was still very confident.
"Brother V, good luck"
Said the young man in blue
Ma Tao nodded and walked out of the door of the human weapon shop, in fact, he was also very entangled just now, if the legend is false, then it will be a dead man, with the attitude of believing it or not, Ma Tao still decided to find out.
How big the world is, step on your feet.
Touching the grenade in his waist, Ma Tao's confidence doubled, and his mood was much more relaxed, and he wanted to drink two glasses of him as soon as he was in a good mood.
There is really a small bar in Naduo Village, which is a small building with two or three floors, the first floor is a bar, and the second and third floors are guest rooms, but they are idle all year round, and the best rooms are naturally used by the innkeeper all year round.
Generally speaking, places like bars are the best place to find out the news, and everyone from all over the world has them, but this bar in Naduo Village is really exceptional, and there are no outsiders coming, so the people who come to drink and joke are also from the village, which is also a pastime in life.
Ma Tao entered the bar, because it was not dark yet, there were few people here, but the bar was dimly lit, and the environment here was not particularly good.
The bar counter of the bar is made of several huge poplar trees, there are a lot of wine glasses and utensils, and there is a bartending girl in the bar, with a fiery red leather skirt, a white suspender shirt, sexy red lips, a perfect body, and a little bit of debugging the wine utensils in her hand.
"Coming? Drink something"
The perfect hot bartending girl greeted warmly, the service staff is like this, she is familiar with everyone, otherwise she would not be able to operate such an entertainment venue, but this bartending girl Ma Tao does know her, her name is Lian Xiaolian.
Besides, it's all a village that looks down and doesn't look up, and after a long time, it's all familiar.
"Have a drink of plum bar, settle all the accounts today"
After Ma Tao finished speaking, he reached out and took out the remaining ten Gs from his arms.
After all, he has to leave, Ma Tao has never been in the habit of owing others, and if he can solve it, try to solve it all, although he doesn't owe it himself....
"Are you leaving?"
Lian Xiaolian smiled and handed the wine that had just been adjusted in her hand to Ma Tao
"Taste my latest debugging of the Flame Youth, today I have a treat, free"
"Aren't you surprised?"
Ma Tao was a little surprised.
"What's surprising that there are aspiring young people in those villages every year, and how many come back, all of them have not been heard from?"
Lian Xiaolian glanced at Ma Tao, her sexy red lips touched up and down and finished indifferently, she turned her head away from Ma Tao, and there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes.
"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness"
A fragment of memory crossed his mind, and Ma Tao was a little unhappy, even Xiaolian's fiancé left the village to work as a bounty hunter five years ago in order to earn money but never returned.
"It's okay, it's all over"
Lian Xiaolian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, touched up her makeup with a pen, turned her head to answer, and said carelessly, but turned around and opened a bottle of beer, poured herself a glass, raised her snow-white neck and drank it all.
Ma Tao didn't say anything more, it wasn't a day or two since he wanted to be a hunter anyway, and the fact that he was kicked out of the house by his father and froze overnight must have been spread by the people in the village, and everyone knew about it.
The glass of wine called Flame Youth that Lian Xiaolian handed to him was also suffocated, silent, Ma Tao knew and understood, Lian Xiaolian didn't want to see young men and women as good as her fiancé die in a foreign land for survival or honor, and even the corpse capital could not be found.
"Humph! Brat! You don't have a chance."
A drunken man on the side raised his head and looked at Ma Tao with a smirk, and then fell down again.
"Why?"
Ma Tao's heart trembled, and he had a bad premonition.
"Fresh... Fresh... Bright Red ...... Tank ......"
After the drunk finished talking intermittently, he fell asleep completely, and no matter how Ma Tao shook, he couldn't wake up.
"Two days ago, the fifth brother went to the back mountain to go to the grave of his father and mother, and it is said that he saw a bright red on the edge of the mountain in the far south, a moving chariot"
Lian Xiaolian looked at the drunken cat-like man who was drinking on the bar counter, and then looked at Ma Tao and continued to adjust the wine in his hand.
"Wolves?"
Ma Tao frowned and said a word, but Lian Xiaolian didn't answer.
It seems that the drunk man and even Xiaolian are not very sure, after all, she didn't see it with her own eyes, but in any case, he must be when what he said is true, if this is the case, then it is absolutely urgent to set off by himself,
Thinking of this, Ma Tao was really a little anxious, if the chariot was found, he would not know if he was looking for the next one in the year of the monkey.
"Don't drink anymore, I'm leaving"
It's better to act than excited, Ma Tao plans to set off immediately and put 5G on the bar.
"If it's too much, just wait for me to come back next time and drink it again"
With that, turn around and leave.
When passing by a wall, several wanted notices stopped Ma Tao.
Above it was a monkey-like monster called the Water Monster, a new boss-level monster that had appeared in the cave at the back of the village in recent years.
Compared with this wanted warrant, what makes Ma Tao greedy is the bounty below, a full 1000G, that is the income of ordinary civilians for five or six years, and there are so many to get rid of it, but unfortunately, these posters have been hanging for several months, and no one has torn them off.
Ma Tao thought about it, pointed the scanning watch in his left hand at the wanted warrant and scanned it, and more information appeared.
Water monsters,Bounty monsters in the sand pile holes,The specific number is unknown,Often haunted in groups,Hermaphroditic,The wild monsters that breed are called water lai,Flame attack or use claws to attack the enemy,Bronze level wanted warrant,Bounty 1000G,Status,Wanted。
"This stuff is good."
Ma Tao sighed, and after storing the information, he pushed the door and walked out.
Next, Ma Tao, who made up his mind, decided to leave Naduo Village in earnest.
After getting something enough to eat for himself, he set off like this, no one greeted him, no one paid attention, everything seemed so plain.
When I came to the entrance of the village, I pushed open the iron stakes and fence gates, and several guards in front of the sentry tower at the entrance of the village found it.
However, they are also young people in the village, and every day they are led by a few middle-aged uncles to take turns to defend against a few monsters that have broken in by mistake, they are all small monsters, and there is really no danger in a very safe place, and there are not so many.
On average, it takes more than a month to get a mutant out, and it's safe.
They all knew Ma Tao, and they had already known Ma Tao's plans, so they didn't intercept him, and opened the door for him, only when they were about to walk out of the fence gate, the middle-aged uncle in the lead took a deep look at Ma Tao.
"There is an iron wall level to the north, and it is precisely because of the existence of the inverted level that a particularly powerful monster can't come over, and then east after the level, there should be a hidden town, we haven't been there, and I don't know what it's called, young man, good luck, don't be too strong, come back and rest for a few days when you're tired"
The middle-aged uncle is very good, these words are true, and they are also true, which can make Ma Tao's travel have a goal, and I don't know how many people he has said the same thing to.
Ma Tao didn't know whether to be happy or sad, nodded vigorously, the middle-aged uncle patted Ma Tao's shoulder, turned around and went back to the village, the gate of the village slowly closed, and the road ahead was unknown.
