Chapter 242: I bought you a chariot

It turned out that Qian Santai already knew from the beginning of the outbreak of the Seoul plague, the most important, and also a factor that Ma Tao and they all ignored was that Qian Santai's home was here, his daughter-in-law and children were in Seoul, and it was impossible for him Qian Santai to put his daughter-in-law and children in danger, the first thing was to send someone to Seoul to take his family out of the city, but Qian Santai was not a reckless person, for safety, he did not let his family take him to his side, Instead, they chose a safe location in the wild and quarantined.

The incubation period of the Black Death is very short, because in this way, it spreads the fastest and most violently, and symptoms usually appear in 2-8 days, and most people have already experienced the most common tissue necrosis of Black Death patients on the 3rd day, that is, acne, pustules, etc.

During the period when his wife was isolated from the children, Qian Santai had already begun to collect medicines and supplies on the black market everywhere, and the Black Death plague in Seoul not only made him see the danger but also the opportunity, and from the perspective of a businessman, he had to take advantage of this opportunity.

Fortunately, after a period of isolation, Qian Santai's wife and children did not have symptoms of the plague, which may have a lot to do with the fact that they evacuated earlier, and the terrible virus has not yet arrived, and there is time to find them.

But even so, Qian Santai is still not at ease, he still doesn't plan to let his wife and children go to where he is, including the people who escort them, they are still waiting in place, now, the medicine to improve immunity has been stopped, if nothing else, a month later, Qian Santai will rest assured that they will follow him, before that, he has more important things to do.

Many people understand a truth, that is, danger and opportunity coexist, but most people will subconsciously avoid danger, which leads to the fact that even the opportunity is useless in front of them, and there are very few people who can see the opportunity in the crisis, but each of them has succeeded, and it is a very successful kind.

Ma Tao and Qian Santai agreed on a freshwater lake about ten miles east of Seoul, this place is Ma Tao has been in Ma Tao's impression, the lake is nearly thousands of square meters wide, surrounded by forests on three sides, one side is facing the grassland, there is a cool place, the water source is there, it is simply the best place to camp, and this place is the closest freshwater lake to Seoul, not only Ma Tao knows, Xiao Jinzi also knows, Qian Santai, who has lived in Seoul for 40 years, naturally knows, Isn't such a well-known meeting place just what everyone wants?

But they didn't think that the place they fancied was good, since that place was good, it was naturally impossible for only them to think of it, and others would also think that at this moment, almost all of the garrison forces of the entire Seoul were stationed by the freshwater lake, but this force was already soft at this time, and what was even more terrifying was that this freshwater lake had become the best place for those garrisons to abandon their corpses, and the originally sparkling and beautiful lake was now floating with countless horrific corpses. Many of them have been soaked white and puffy.

At first, the garrisons who died of illness would be buried in the soil or burned, but then one infected two, two infected three, three became six, and later they couldn't count at all, so many corpses were piled up to the point of despair, and the dead people who looked like mountains looked numb in their scalps, and then there were many more dead people than the living people, and even if they were still alive, no one would deal with those extremely contagious dead bodies. Whoever you want to die, you can die, the entire garrison camp has become a danger to everyone, but death is still climbing every day with an alarming number, death, still can't stop, the Seoul garrison, which once had more than 10,000 people, lost almost half of it in this battle without a little gunsmoke, and there are less than 5,000 people left, and most of these 5,000 people have also been infected with the virus, and the haze of despair hangs over the heads of all the garrisons.

Qian Santai brought a total of nearly fifteen truckloads of therapeutic medicines and more than a hundred subordinates this time, all of whom were his henchmen he had recently cultivated, although their combat effectiveness was not particularly strong, but these people were heartfelt enough for themselves.

Fifteen cars, a gray light tank is the head car, and two jeeps, the rest are all trucks that have no combat effectiveness at all, in the convoy, except for the trucks that are Qian Santai's own, the tanks and jeeps are all rented by them at a high price, mainly to escort, otherwise once they encounter any danger, they all use infantry to rush up It is not like that at all, although renting a car is quite expensive, but the money boss is not bad now, and the rent of 10,000 G cannot shake his current strength.

Because Ma Tao and they were nearby, their movements were faster, and they arrived at the agreed place one step ahead.

"Why does it feel a little wrong?"

is getting closer and closer to the agreed place, but Ma Tao's heart is a little nervous.

"Ma Tao, what are the things floating on the surface of the lake?"

Gao Han noticed that there were many things floating on the surface of the lake that should have been sparkling.

Ma Tao hurriedly stopped the chariot and did not continue to approach, and at the same time took out his poor monoculars and planned to get out of the car to observe it first.

Since there is a problem or an anomaly, it is never a particularly good idea to venture over without being sure whether the problem can be solved or whether there is a danger, and the best way is of course to observe more and find some possible or potential danger factors as much as possible, which is not only a battlefield rule, but also a survival rule.

Car No. 1 stopped, and cars No. 2 and No. 3 naturally couldn't continue to move forward, and they all stopped behind.

took out the monoculars, Ma Tao was going to get out of the car, Su Lanyu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, knew what he was going to do as soon as he took out the binoculars, and he also planned to get up and get out of the car with him, and Uncle Guang in the back also got out of the car when he saw it.

"You guys can just be in the car, you don't have to follow, I'll go down and take a look and come back"

Ma Tao waved his hand and said.

"It's okay, I have good eyesight, maybe I can see what you can't see, and it just so happens that I also get out of the car to breathe"

Su Lanyu glanced at the monocular in Ma Tao's hand and said.

Since this is the case, Ma Tao is not good at what to say, and it is up to Su Lanyu's thoughts.

Uncle Guang didn't say anything, and sat back on the rest bed in the back compartment with the little radish in his arms, mainly because he couldn't help much, and he didn't help when he got out of the car.

After Ma Tao and Su Lanyu got out of the car, Xiao Jinzi and Gao Han were already waiting for them outside, and the two of them were pointing at the lake and discussing something.

"What are you talking about?"

As Ma Tao spoke, he pulled out the monoculars in his hand and looked in the direction of the lake.

"We're talking about what can be on the surface of the lake, the little gold says it's wood, I say it's birds."

Gao Han replied with a smile on his face.

Ma Tao's face became ugly little by little, because he had seen clearly through the monocular in his hand what was floating on the surface of the lake, all of them were human corpses, lying on their stomachs, of any shape, and none of them were alive.

"You're all wrong, the lake is neither wood nor birds."

Ma Tao continued to observe with a telescope, and after looking at the surface of the lake and looking around, he saw the camp set up in the forest.

"Impossible? Not wood and not birds? What is that? Give me a look."

Gao Han was about to reach out and grab the monocular that Ma Tao was using as she spoke, intending to take a quick look, she suspected that Ma Tao had deceived herself.

"It's true that there are no birds and no wood floating on the lake."

Su Lanyu stood beside Ma Tao and squinted at the lake in the distance and said.

"Can your eyes see that far?"

Ma Tao looked at her in surprise, and then handed the monocular in his hand to Gao Han.

"Of course, I can see it even from a little farther away."

Su Lanyu replied with some pride.

"Really? Can you see what's on the west side of the lake? ”

Ma Tao didn't believe it, their location was more than 1,000 meters away from the edge of the lake, and they could see so far, it was difficult for this woman's eyes to be eight times the mirror.

"There's a barracks, but it doesn't look like there's anyone anymore."

I didn't expect Su Lanyu to really be able to see such a distance, and said that it was similar to what Ma Tao had just seen, and Ma Tao also didn't see any people in the barracks.

"These bastards, the good water source is so bad that they can't be destroyed, so many people are thrown into the water like this"

This sentence was said by Gao Han, obviously she had seen the dead bodies floating on the lake from the telescope, but she was concerned about the water source.

"Where hasn't anyone died, it's just a dead body, clean it up, it's no problem"

Su Lanyu didn't think there was anything about it, it was just that there were more corpses, let the fish and shrimp in those lakes eat it, nature has the ability to purify itself, but this time it may indeed be a bit much.

Gao Han glanced at Su Lanyu with a monocular, looked at Ma Tao again, and didn't say anything, but directly threw the telescope in his hand to Xiao Jinzi, turned around and left.

Ma Tao can see it, and feel it, there always seems to be a smell of gunpowder between Su Lanyu and Gao Han, although the smell of gunpowder is very light, so faint that people will not easily notice, but it does exist, inadvertently, Ma Tao can always feel that there is a sense of confrontation between the two of them in the conversation between the two of them, but you take a closer look, but there is nothing, Su Lanyu and Gao Han belong to two age groups of goddesses, each has its own charm and attraction points, and they are both so beautiful, but their personalities are somewhat similar, They are all so arrogant and confident, and more importantly, they don't take men seriously, or rather, they lack men to conquer their bodies and minds.

Ma Tao thinks that he is not that kind of man, and he never thought about anything to happen to them, in Ma Tao's heart, women with the character of Su Lanyu and Gao Han can only be watched from afar, not close, he still likes Su Lanxi, who knows what he thinks and knows what he wants, such a woman is what he needs most.

"Those are the garrisons, I know the sign on that tent"

Xiao Jinzi also looked at it with the telescope in his hand, and then said with certainty.

For the garrison, Xiao Jinzi can be said to be familiar anymore, and it is all the garrison that protects his father's safety, but it is the elite.

"With such a large-scale camp, it seems that Seoul no longer has any defensive strength, but it's a pity that even if you evacuate, there is no way to get rid of the plague."

Ma Tao sighed.

"Brother Tao, then do we still want to meet with Qian Santai here?"

Little Gold then asked.

"Why not, since you are here to save people, who to save is not to save, and where to save is different, but you should always tell Qian Santai about this situation"

Ma Tao looked at the sky and found that the sun had begun to set in the west, and most of it had already fallen, and it would not be long before it would get dark.

In fact, Ma Tao is also selfish, civilians and the army, of course, the priority is to restore the army as soon as possible, because once the civilian is cured, it is very likely that he will leave, you have worked hard to save his life, and some don't even bother to say thank you, as if you owe him, and the army is different, after all, they were organized and disciplined before, and if they get back together, they can still go to the battlefield again, and more importantly, they can win the hearts of the army.

Of course, it is actually useless to make these garrisons grateful to themselves, but what Ma Tao thinks about is not himself at all, and he can make some connections for Xiao Jinzi's father.

At night, the news that the meeting place has been garrisoned was notified to Qian Santai, Ma Tao once again received a message link from his sister, at this time Sister R is at home at No. 1018, South District, Seoul, after hearing the news that his younger brother Ankang told his parents that they are also safe under the care of Sister R, An Ruo can be regarded as completely relieved, no matter what, it is naturally best for everyone to be fine.

After chatting happily for a while, this connection ended, but Sister R did send another message to Ma Tao alone, the content of the message was about the scene she experienced in the command post in the afternoon, and at the same time, she also told Ma Tao that Xiao Jinzi's parents might be controlled or placed under house arrest, and what she planned to do next, and Ma Tao also fell into deep thought after reading the news.

Little Golden's parents were put under house arrest? This is really a somewhat unexpected thing, in Ma Tao's mind did not consider this possibility at all, but the reality is that he must prevent this situation and plan early, this news can not be told to Xiao Jinzi no matter what, otherwise with this kid's hot temper, he will definitely drive in regardless of it, so it is easy to force the other party to jump over the wall and push things to an unpredictable situation, in the end, Ma Tao decided, or give priority to these garrisons, but the action must be fast, of course, This matter must be done by Xiao Jinzi, to complete all this with the identity of the son of the Standing Committee member Jin Bang, in this way, it is equivalent to Xiao Jinzi mastering the garrison of Seoul, and finally forcing the other party to take the initiative to compromise.

At night, because the temperature here in Seoul is very pleasant, whether it is night or daytime, the temperature will not fall below fifteen degrees, so it is not cold even if there is no fire, and in order to avoid the fire being discovered by the garrison on the other side of the lake, I simply ate some dry food and drank some water and rested.

In order to prevent mosquito bites, Ma Tao strictly forbade everyone to get out of the car, the most common in the forest is mosquitoes, and mosquitoes are also the best way for the spread of disease, think about the experience of those who have sucked the blood infected with the Black Death when the mouthparts pierce their skin, and then think about the mosquitoes that may have been lying on a rotting and smelly corpse before It is even more goosebumpy.

I don't know if it's because of this terrible virus or what, Ma Tao They have been wandering around Seoul for so long and haven't encountered a single monster, it is estimated that they have been wiped out by those who are bent on leaving Seoul, after all, at the beginning of the plague, there were not only those people in Seoul, but also a lot of bounty hunters and mercenary teams, these people must be eager to run for their lives as soon as possible, no matter what they encounter on the road, they will solve the battle in the fastest way.

On the second day, Ma Tao and the others finally met Qian Santai, who came with the convoy, and his batch of medicines.

"Brother Ma!"

As soon as they met, Qian Santai first gave Ma Tao a big hug.

Xiao Jinzi sighed on the side, turned around and went to check the truckloads of medicines, maybe these Qian Santai's subordinates who were in charge of the care had been told in advance, even if Xiao Jinzi directly lifted the cover and looked inside, they were not moved at all, and finally Xiao Jinzi was bored, so he didn't pay attention to these, but Gao Han was checking what in that car by car.

The others were idly standing around the three chariots on their side, An Ruo was reluctant to talk to the person with the face, Su Lanyu was too lazy to speak, everything in Seoul had nothing to do with her, she didn't care about this, Uncle Guang and Xiao Radish could do anything, but now everyone was outside the chariot, and it was not good for them to go inside the car, so they also followed.

"Boss Qian, how much medicine did you bring this time?"

After hugging, Ma Tao gently pulled the side of his clothes to the side and asked in a low voice.

"Why are you not afraid enough? Don't worry, I've found a partner, these medicines are nothing to them, this time it's not enough, I'll get you a batch right away when the convoy goes back."

Qian Santai smiled and showed a confident smile.

"Are you sure?"

Ma Tao didn't expect that anyone could have such great ability to get so many medicines, even if they were in reserve, they couldn't have so many.

"Hehe, I only learned about these things recently, let me tell you, the world now doesn't want to be as barren as you look, some places have even been restored to the state before the great destruction, what power plants, water plants, pharmaceutical factories, have been put into mass production, these things are difficult to do in our baby, in other people's that may be worth the price of a biscuit, I say so, do you understand?"

Qian Santai said, glancing at Ma Tao with a smile.

"I'm really convinced of your business acumen, where did you find such a powerful character?"

Ma Tao listened to it with convincing and admiration, and in terms of business, he was almost impressed.

"That's why I had to come out with you in the first place, when I came out, the world was in front of me, otherwise, the world would always be a small piece of place in front of you, and I have to thank you for all this."

Qian Santai didn't seem to be very proud, but brought up the original incident again to show their relationship.

"Don't talk about this, there's something I have to tell you about"

Ma Tao knew what he wanted to express, it was nothing more than to clarify the relationship between them and each other, but it was not the time to talk about the relationship, there were more important things, Ma Tao glanced back at Xiao Jinzi, who was studying the medicine in the car, and immediately told Qian Santai what Sister R said to him before.

"And that kind of thing?"

Qian Santai was also stunned after hearing this, his eyes kept rolling, obviously thinking about what else was possible in this matter.

"That's right, if that's what I said to my sister, then Xiaojin must take over Seoul and take over the entire garrison."

Ma Tao looked into his eyes and said.

"Then isn't this our own business, this business is good, exchange a bunch of medicines for a city"

In the end, it is a businessman, from Qian Santai's point of view, he still uses the perspective of business to consider whether this is more suitable than business, and it is obvious that this is too suitable for business.

"Don't be too happy too early, everything is just a possibility, and then I will give you this Seoul, can you recover this mess overnight?"

Ma Tao didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to rescue Xiao Jinzi's parents as soon as possible, and then find a way to control the spread of the Black Death, after solving these things, he had to continue to find the whereabouts of the regeneration pill, this is the point, nothing else matters.

"That's the same, I'm afraid the amount of money needed to rebuild Seoul will be astronomical."

A trace of pity flashed on Qian Santai's face, but then he smiled again, raised his head to look at Ma Tao, and then actually showed a very strange smile.

I don't know why this big boss looks at him so directly, and he has straight hair.

"I bought you a tank"

After a while, Qian Santai finally spoke.

Ma Tao let out a sigh of relief, thinking that what was the matter, it turned out that he had bought a chariot...

Wait a minute......

What did you buy me!!
