Volume 1 Chapter 11 The Black Market of the Happy Forest
"Welcome to the Happy Forest!! Oh, hey, hey......"
A deep voice echoed through the night, echoing over the dead city-like village.
"Pretending to be a ghost, what are you!"
Ma Tao looked around, didn't find anyone, and didn't know where the strange sound came from.
"Hey...... Haha........."
A burst of laughter that was neither male nor female sounded again, and strange laughter echoed all around.
"you MD, come out for me!"
Ma Tao really couldn't stand this kind of sound anymore, and quickly returned to the chariot, turning the muzzle of the cannon to face a lighted house in front of him.
Rumble!!!
The house collapsed, and a cloud of flame mushrooms rose with a large amount of smoke and dust, because it was fired at close range, causing the ground to shake, and the power of the 45 cannon was still good, and it was fierce enough.
"Come out! If I don't come out, I'll blow up here, believe it or not! ā
Speaking kung fu, Ma Tao fired another cannon, and in the midst of the fire, he blew up a private house again.
Ma Tao's head is sweating, he is also bluffing now, if this person really doesn't come out, he has nothing to do, after all, there are only three shells left in the bomb bay, and two shots are fired at the moment, just for the sake of grandeur, always keep one in case of emergency.
"Young chariot warriors, don't be so grumpy, the Happy Forest has everything you can't think of"
With a creak, a brightly lit door opened, and finally a few people came out.
All of them wore scarves and other things to cover their faces.
The leader was a strong man about forty or fifty years old, who did not cover his face, but he carried something like a hat.
It's obviously a man who wears a woman's skirt, and he walks like a woman, swinging his waist and shaking his hips.
It turns out that in this world, shemales still exist, which is simply against the sky.
"I've never liked to hide and tuck"
Ma Tao looked at these five people in the chariot, his eyes were sheared, and his brows were furrowed, these people were not good at first glance, and they must not show weakness, so they directly used the car speaker to reply to the five people.
"Refreshing, happy forest welcomes refreshing people"
The leading ladyboy took off the hat, laughed out loud, and finally showed his true face, this ladyboy actually had a horizontal face, disgusting and ugly, anyway, Ma Tao has never seen someone more stumbling than him, and that smile carries an indescribable sense of evil
"Inside, please!"
As he spoke, he saw that a person next to him took out a communicator or something like that and said something (a guest arrived), and the private house that had just come out behind several people actually cracked open to both sides, revealing a rather large underground passage.
Looking inside, although it is not brightly lit, it is still visible.
Seeing that Ma Tao didn't mean to get off the chariot, the leading ladyboy smiled slightly, made a gesture of please, then took the hat, and then led a few people behind him to go inside.
Ma Tao didn't feel embarrassed because he was ridiculed by a few people.
Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, since it is here, there is no reason to be frightened away without looking, the big deal is that the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, turn on the searchlight of the tank, and drive the tank directly into it.
The tunnel leading to the ground was not very long, but there was a lot of water, but it was not deep, only below the depth of the foot.
After a while, the few of them stopped on a slope.
"I said, you're not going to spend the night in the chariot, come in here"
The shemale turned around and said in a coquettish voice to Ma Tao, who was still in the chariot.
Ma Tao in the chariot heard him speak, and recalled that this guy's face was so chilling that he didn't dare to answer.
The ladyboy didn't care about him, and directly pushed open an iron fence in front of them and went inside, and when the last masked man left, he looked at Ma Tao, who was still in the chariot, and smiled and said:
"Are you a warrior, such a coward?"
He was greeted by the muzzle of the 07 machine gun on the tank tank, and the guy was really jumped, and he left with a stinking word.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Ma Tao took a sip of water in the driver's seat of the tank and sorted out his thoughts.
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the iron gate where they had left, turned around and pinned the revolver and the Type 95 pistol to his body, tied the fruit knife to his calf, put on leather armor, and then climbed out of the chariot.
But the moment he came out, Ma Tao's eyes lit up, and on the opposite slope, a bright red chariot was also quietly parked there, if it weren't for Ma Tao's chariot with searchlights on and the sparkling water below the slope could reflect the light, Ma Tao really wouldn't be able to find it.
With the help of the water, Ma Tao took a closer look at this place, and found that there were really not only two chariots here such as the wolf and himself, but also several various chariots parked there on another slope not far away, and each chariot was parked on a slope avoiding water.
The wall behind the chariot was sprayed with paint from one to nine, several big numbers, and there was also a figure 8 behind his chariot, which should represent the number of the parking space, this discovery reassured Ma Tao a lot.
There is a wolf here, at least it proves that this place is safe, thinking of this, Ma Tao's tense nerves also relaxed a lot, closed the tank hatch with a fingerprint code lock, got off the chariot and came to the iron fence door that the few people had just passed through and pushed the door directly.
There are two iron fences, and then there is a white steel door with a small window, Ma Tao knocked, the small window on the white steel door opened, revealing a dark-skinned man inside, and looked at Ma Tao, who was wearing leather armor, and directly stretched his hand out of the small window of the white steel door.
ā20Gļ¼ā
After the dark-skinned man saw that Ma Tao didn't react, he thought that he didn't hear clearly and said impatiently:
"Entrance fee 20G, give money! Hurry up! Can't you get in? If you don't come in, I'll close the door! ā
No way, Ma Tao can't really sleep in the chariot like this, although there is a bed, wouldn't it be too stupid not to have a comfortable place to rest.
Although the charge for this place where I don't know what to do is a bit high, but now Ma Tao is really not bad for the 20 money, except for the 300G given by killing the water monster, and the money that has been earned by killing the monster in the past two days, Ma Tao has nearly 500G in his hand, and besides, the 1000G that killed the water monster has not been received himself, and he is now half a rich man.
took out 20G and paid him, this guy finally opened the door, entered the white steel door, and the dark-skinned man led Ma Tao to walk a few more steps and came to another wooden door.
"Just go in"
After the swarthy man finished speaking, he didn't bother Ma Tao, he went back to the white steel door and sat down alone, and began to fiddle with the game console-like objects in his hand.
Pushing open the wooden door, Ma Tao's eyes were instantly widened.
At this moment, he finally understood why the charge was so expensive, this should have been a huge sewer before, and all the passages were turned, and everything Ma Tao saw in front of him could be described as shocking.
This is a considerable sewer space, and now it is almost crowded with people, countless flying machines moving above everyone's heads, monitoring the every move of the people below, and they will not collide with each other, and here, there are all kinds of sales, guns, ammunition, equipment and supplies, the sea of people is gone, and there are more people who are begging there.
As soon as Ma Tao came in, a beggar crawled over and pulled Ma Tao's trouser leg.
"Give me something to eat! Please......"
A hoarse voice sounded, Ma Tao lowered his head, and an unkempt man dressed in rags lay on the ground praying, his face full of dirt and dirt could not be seen at all, and the hungry skin and bones could not see men and women, and it stinked.
On closer inspection, the beggar's feet were locked in an iron chain that had been locked for quite some time, and the chains were rusty.
There was even more filth next to the chain, and it seemed that this beggar should be solving his personal problems in this place.
Ma Tao looked around and found that a large number of beggars, men, women, and children, were basically chained there by various thicknesses, and could only move in a small area within the range of the chains.
Those who are close, pick up the food on the ground, whether it is dirty or not, whether it is bad or not, and swallow it in their stomachs, but also, their appearance is already dirty and unformed, how to manage the food, anyway, they can eat it.
Those who were far away also pounced, and then they were dragged back by the chains attached to their feet, and they lay on the ground for a long time and could not get up, causing a burst of laughter from the men and women around them who gave food to the beggars, but they were soon drowned out by the shouts and bargaining boasts of the surrounding sellers.
Men and women dressed in all kinds of clothes were still busy with their own business, and no one cared about the small episode that happened here.
"Brother! What's wrong with them? ā
Ma Tao pulled a sturdy big brother who was also wearing leather armor and pointed to the beggar who was still tugging at his trouser leg and asked.
"New here?"
The big man looked at Ma Tao, and saw that this guy had a gun pinned to his waist, a knife on his leg, and leather armor on his body, he smiled, pointed to a piece of iron on their feet and necks, and said:
"They're live bait, disposables"
Ma Tao followed the gaze of the big man, and sure enough, he found an iron plate, which also said 50G.
"Live bait? What do you mean? Please also tell my brother to tell me, I can buy two and finish playing."
"Live bait, as the name suggests, is a live bait, of course, it is used to attract monsters, they are basically deaf or dumb, and even some will be picked off the tendons and tendons, in order to put a high bomb on the live bait, waiting for the monster to kill and prepare to be dragged or eaten, boom..."
The strong man made an explosive gesture with both hands, and laughed, as if he had said something simple.
"But these are people?"
Ma Tao listened to the strong man with a surprised face, he was not as calm as the strong man.
"What do you think this is?"
The strong man patted Ma Tao's shoulder vigorously, looked Ma Tao up and down from the new, approached Ma Tao's ear, and continued
"This is the Happy Forest, a black market where bounty hunters, hooligans, villains, gangs and gangs gather, it is your luck to happen to be found by you, if you have enough money and post a black mission, even if there is no one here, someone will look for it for you, money is paramount here! Hey...... Hey hey"
The strong man looked at Ma Tao with some presumptuousness and smiled, kicked away the beggar who was going to reach out to him to beg, kicked his nose bleeds, and the blood was all over his face, the strong man didn't care, took out 1G from his arms and threw it in the hand of the guard holding the stun gun on the side, the guard reached out and took it, and put it directly in his pocket, not caring about the life or death of the kicked beggar at all.
"These guys are waste of food or sold to the black market by gangs of gangsters, but there are also some people who were proud bounty hunters before, but unfortunately they were taken by the black market for some reason, like that guy"
The strong man pointed with his chin and gestured to a man tied to a stake in the distance, Ma Tao glanced at it, the guy's long hair was like grass and his face was covered with blood, he was motionless, and he couldn't see whether he was alive or dead.
"Who is he?"
Ma Tao didn't know.
"His name is Mu Yang, if you don't know him, go to the Grand Canyon and inquire about the Black Terror, you will know, he has killed a lot of monster legends, but unfortunately, this guy died by himself, he fell in love with gambling, chariots, weapons, and even the woman he liked, all of which were buried by his own hands"
The strong man looked at the dying fellow, and whispered in silence:
"He used to be my idol, but now...... Never mind... Anyway, it's dead, and the rules of the black market are like this, and no one can disobey them."
"Is he dead?"
Ma Tao watched this legendary man now die silently tied to a wooden stake alone, not sympathetic, not pity, more pathetic.
"It's dead, the last breath left of the torture yesterday, this morning it's completely out of breath, this is also a warning from the black market, to warn those who think they are very strong don't break the rules, the world of the end of the world is always the supreme truth, sometimes human beings are not as good as monsters"
The strong man didn't look at Mu Yang, who was tied to the stake and died, he reached out and took a pot of wine from his waist, raised his neck and drank several big sips.
It can be seen that the death of his idol still dealt him a big blow, although he didn't care about what he said, the strong man wiped the corner of his bearded mouth with his sleeve after drinking
"Don't talk about him, the first time we met, my brother and I will give you a reminder, you must buy a woman when you buy live bait, although it is more expensive, but the reason you know, hahaha, I still have something to do, let's go!"
After the strong man finished speaking, no matter how much Ma Tao tried to keep him, he couldn't stop him from leaving, it seems that there should be something really wrong.
"Looks like I can't help you..."
Looking at the live bait under his feet, who was still tugging on his trouser leg with a pitiful look looking forward to himself, Ma Tao sighed, after saying this, the live bait should have understood, and as soon as his hands were loosened, he let go of the hand holding Ma Tao.
Ma Tao knows that people like them, who are already crippled, really have no value, even if they are rescued by themselves, they can only make offerings every day in the future, but he is not a saint, maybe he can help one or two, but here is everywhere, it is useless to rescue one or two, and he can't do it and has no way to save the common people, Ma Tao knows this very well in his heart.
"Hey! Brother! Buy a machete, sharp."
"Pistols! 250G for a handful, 500 bullets for free"
"The best live bait, just delivered today, men, women and children! Come in and have a look! ā
Walking in some of the crowded crowds, surrounded by the sound of selling, many canvas tents were piled up with all kinds of supplies, larger ones, even the main guns of tanks and combat vehicles, more human weapons, long guns and short cannons are simply countless.
However, compared to real villages and towns, the things here are obviously ridiculously expensive, and the pistols are sold for a full 70G more expensive than outside.
Later, Ma Tao learned that people shouted so high that they were reserved for you to bargain, as for how far you can speak, it all depends on whether the stall owner is right with you and your mood, which is why many people are willing to come to the black market, some can be simple, that can get a lot of good things, and it is cheaper, there are even people here with cages for small mutated creatures that sell live, of course, there are also people.
Ma Tao walked through this peripheral place like a vegetable market, walked inside, and finally found some relatively clean space.
A place full of lights.
Bars and inns, in fact, this is just missing the live bait outside, after all, this used to be a sewer, there is a strange smell is inevitable, and you can't smell it after staying for a long time, but relatively speaking, this place is really good, after all, no one wants to drink and sleep in such a dirty and messy environment just now.
Pushing open the broken door of the bar, Ma Tao entered the inside, there is a lot of space, but there are no tables, instead there are round oil drums, as for the place to sit, it is simpler, it is a wooden pier, but there are still quite a lot of people, there are people drinking near each oil drum, the deafening music stimulates the nerves of everyone inside, and the chandeliers that flicker with colorful light are charming and intoxicating.
On the stage in the middle, five or six scantily clad women were dancing a hot pole dance, attracting the howls of the men in the audience, and more than a dozen waiters dressed like bunny girls delivering drinks shuttled through the crowd, constantly being taken advantage of by the people next to them, and they were not angry when they were smiling.
Ma Tao finally saw a familiar person in the dimly lit corner of the bar, his fiery red hair so conspicuous.
"Can I sit like this?"
Coming to the wolf's side and looking at the empty wine bottles in front of the wolf, Ma Tao asked cautiously.
"Don't ......"
The wolf didn't even bother to look back at Ma Tao, and directly rejected him.
This refusal was neat, and Ma Tao didn't know how to answer, because the people had already issued an eviction order, so he stood in place and was stunned for a moment.
"Thank you,"
Ma Tao whispered thank you, and directly called over the rabbit girl who walked by, put 30G directly in her tray and said:
"Wait a minute! Please give this gentleman two bottles of wine, this one I gave"
"Sorry sir! That's not enough! ā
After the rabbit girl tidied up the small white suspenders that had fallen a little to make herself look sexier, she almost didn't embarrass Ma Tao to death when she answered.
"No need to look for it!"
Ma Tao blushed and quickly took out 30G and was still on her tray, watching this rabbit girl with heavy makeup leave with a smile, and didn't forget to throw an eyebrow at Ma Tao before leaving.
Somehow, Ma Tao suddenly thought of the dead shemale before, shivering all over, and shuddered.
