Chapter 4: The Search for Chariots
The flamespitter's attacks come and go as fast as they come.
For Ma Tao, every minute and every second can be called a year.
As soon as the flames ended, the painful Ma Tao screamed and rolled all over the ground, dodging the flames on his body while dodging the next attack of the flame spitter, but there should be fireproof materials in the coarse cloth clothes, and the flames were extinguished after just rolling on the ground twice.
The embarrassed Ma Tao got up from the ground, and when he looked up, he saw that the flamespitter was less than two meters away from him, and at this moment, the flamethrower under the probe was actually opened again, obviously ready to continue to breathe fire.
Where is this, if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin!
Between the lightning and flint, Ma Tao picked up the big stone in his hand and smashed it hard.
"I'll you.........!"
An angry curse.
Bang.
The flamespitter was stoned to the ground.
In order to be afraid that this thing was getting up, Ma Tao went up and hurriedly kicked a few more times.
In the crackling electric sparks, the flame spitter finally stopped moving, and Ma Tao, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I almost didn't get burned to death by this thing, so it's luck.
I rummaged through the broken parts of the Flamethrower, and it was a great relief to find 8G
What's even happier is that Ma Tao actually found an incendiary fire bottle in this pile of broken parts and wreckage, which is an unexpected surprise, a sharp weapon for group killing and continuous attack.
I have another powerful attack weapon, so I am naturally very happy.
After resting for a while, I recovered a lot of physical strength.
Ma Tao touched the burned ear and the back of his neck, as soon as his hand touched, the pain was unbearable, there was no way, such an injury would affect his combat effectiveness very much, and he had to repair it.
With the unbearable feeling in his heart, Ma Tao tore open the package of the ginseng pill, swallowed the anti-viral infection and anti-inflammatory pill into his mouth, and after breaking the ginseng pill and applying the medicine inside to the wounds on his ears and neck, he magically didn't feel the pain immediately, and even felt some itching in the wound.
Ma Tao had to sigh at the development of biotechnology in this world.
Everything is over, and Ma Tao breathes a sigh of relief.
Put away the 8G, Ma Tao didn't want to do anything, and went directly to Naduo Village.
The reason is that there is too much money in the pocket, because there are all impurities of the little monster chip crystals, scattered by now there should be as much as 120G, which is very space-consuming.
Ma Tao's target was the crossbow arrow, in fact, what he wanted most was the only hot weapon sold in Naduo Village, a short gun.
It's the Type 95 pistol, but it takes 180G Ma Tao's money is not enough now, and he can't afford it.
On the way back, I killed a few giant ants and killer insects scattered and earned some G.
When he arrived in the village, there were already nearly 150G, and Ma Tao, who couldn't wait, went to the human weapon store as soon as possible.
The young guy clerk was not there, only the girl in blue was, and when she saw Ma Tao's miserable appearance, she laughed out loud, which made Ma Tao inexplicable for a while.
"Did you go to repair the chimney, how did it become like this?"
The young blue-clothed female clerk covered her mouth and smiled and bent Yang Liu's thin waist.
"I'm in a hurry, I forgot to wash it, don't talk about that, hurry up and get me a crossbow, I'm in a hurry"
After the blue-clothed female clerk finished speaking, Ma Tao remembered that he was barbecued by the flame-spitter, and now he didn't have time to care about these things, so he urged urgently.
"Alright, alright, here you go"
After speaking, the girl in blue took out the alloy crossbow from the drawer on the counter behind her, smiled and handed it to Ma Tao, and then took a rectangular wooden box and said
"This is a crossbow arrow, 200 of them, you can put them all away."
Ma Tao took the alloy crossbow, he couldn't put it down, and he stroked the crossbow body a little nervously, just like a woman who caressed herself, and she was about to cry.
Finally have a decent weapon, although it is still a cold weapon, but fortunately, it is a high-end cold weapon.
With this alloy crossbow, Ma Tao is really confident.
spent a huge amount of 80G, sold the slingshot in his hand, and left 65G in his hand, Ma Tao bought a ginseng pill, and left 15G.
Since using ginseng pills, Ma Tao has truly realized the power of this thing, and the ability to promote cell life is simply terrifying.
From the injury to now, it has only been half a day's work, and the ears and neck have begun to heal, which makes Ma Tao completely believe that there will be another hour or two to be absolutely intact.
Not thinking about this, with a decent weapon in his hand, Ma Tao wanted to try the power of the alloy crossbow, and came out of the weapon shop without stopping.
Burst.
With a soft sound, the alloy crossbow arrow directly pierced the bodies of the two giant ants, and the castration was unabated, and it sank deep into the earth, leaving only the tail of the arrow trembling uncontrollably.
The two giant ants crawling side by side were already dying before they could even realize the danger.
And attacking killer insects with crossbow arrows is even more handsome.
When an arrow is fired, the control system between the two big eyes of the killer insect will be shattered, and it is all a matter of one arrow.
Even against the Flamespitter, it is a two-arrow attack.
With its paper-thin sheet of iron, it didn't even do anything to stop it, and it shredded the flamespitter's internal parts.
With such a powerful weapon, he was extremely satisfied, looking at the mountains to the south, Ma Tao smiled slightly.
"My chariot, my future, I'm coming, waiting for me ........."
Thinking like this in his heart, Ma Tao confidently marched towards the southern mountains.
Along the way, over the small slope and through the deep forest, it can be regarded as a thrilling pass.
Ma Tao sneaked up on monsters, and was also attacked by monsters, just like that, Ma Tao stayed in the southern mountains for five days, and it can be said that he found nothing.
The entire southern mountain felt like it was almost gone, but there really wasn't a single place to hide the next chariot.
What made Ma Tao even more puzzled was that the people who guarded the village mentioned that there were many people with fresh faces in the village.
I didn't see this southern mountain by myself, it stands to reason that they should be stronger than themselves, could it be that they died in the southern mountain? It shouldn't be, there should be something I missed?
Ma Tao kept thinking about it like this, and at the same time shot the giant ants and killer insects in front of him, for fear of missing something.
He is now handy, and Ma Tao has been able to deal with monsters that have just been discovered or suddenly appeared, and Ma Tao has been able to achieve a state of calm and calm.
Basically, there is nothing that can hurt me now.,At most, it's an innocuous injury like some skin trauma from these monsters.。
I don't know if it's my own feeling or what, Ma Tao feels that his strength and reaction speed have changed a little bit subtly, and he has a big heart and attributes this to the results of these days of monster killing exercise.
After circling the southern mountains again, Ma Tao finally made a major discovery.
On the dark side of the southern mountains, there is actually a cave, a rather large cave, but because there are not many people entering and leaving for a long time, it is very hidden by plants such as creepers.
This cave has obvious traces of artificial excavation, Ma Tao cautiously came to the entrance of the cave and found that the creeper at the entrance of the cave had been cleaned, and there were two deep rut marks on the ground.
Obviously, a chariot drove in, which really made Ma Tao anxious, and hurriedly hurried three steps into two steps.
Inside the cave is a very spacious slope, and if there were really chariots in the southern mountains, it would be hidden here.
There were a lot of dead and mutilated monster corpses lying along the way, and there were many messy human footprints around, and it seemed that there should be many people looking for the chariot.
However, there are only downward tank rut marks on the ground, and there is only one vehicle, indicating that the tank has not been found by anyone, which means that everyone is still looking for it, including the wolf.
Ma Tao did not rashly follow these footprints to find the past, but carefully identified and looked in the direction where few people went.
Although he did not follow the large army and might encounter danger here, Ma Tao always believed that danger and wealth coexist, and only the road that no one has traveled or few people have traveled can have the possibility of success.
This cave is magically located in the deep mountains but it is not particularly dark, Ma Tao regretted a little that he did not bring lighting equipment, although he could not say that he could not see his five fingers, but after all, visibility was greatly limited.
Not long after walking, Ma Tao met the first fork in the road.
There are a total of five roads, leading to different directions, Ma Tao looked at each hole, and found a hole that no one had entered, and Ma Tao resolutely walked in.
Choosing this thing is like pressing a treasure, and this cave is equivalent to a huge treasure labyrinth, where real danger and opportunity coexist
Not long after walking, I met the first wave of monsters, it was a giant ant, and it was five at a time, the giant ants here are much bigger than the outside, and they are much more ferocious, but the attack method is no different, the number is really much, it is just like stabbing an ant nest, fortunately, Ma Tao has changed the shotgun in his hand, and the fierce giant ants still can't stop the crossbow arrows in Ma Tao's hand, it is still an arrow, after killing twenty or thirty, the giant ants who came to increase the number disappeared for a while, Ma Tao picked up a total of 11G and left quickly, not daring to stay longer, afraid of being surrounded by ants.
The crossbow arrows in this backpack are consumed too quickly, and I really need to go home and go back to replenish the crossbow arrows.
After walking in for a while, he killed a few giant ants on the route that must be passed, and in this way, Ma Tao evaded the detection of the giant ants several times in succession, and finally came to an end.
A wooden box was quietly placed there, which made Ma Tao very happy, but there was no big surprise after opening it, it was full of torn clothes, searched it, and there was actually a ginseng pill, almost missed, this is really not easy.
After the search was completed, Ma Tao returned according to the original route, and when he encountered monsters on the road, he could hide, and only those who couldn't hide and escape were killed.
That is, the kind of IQ that still chases Ma Tao with all his mind and must die.
Back at the fork in the road, Ma Tao thought about it, and this time he chose the road with the most footprints and chased it over.
This road is really magical, there is actually a fork in the road, Ma Tao walked around and found that he returned to the original cave entrance position, there was no way, but he could only choose a new road.
This time, fate took care of him once, and when he walked forward for about a few hundred meters, another downward hole appeared in front of Ma Tao's eyes.
The sudden surprise made Ma Tao ecstatic, and he hurriedly ran to the entrance of the cave, and when he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, a black shadow suddenly pounced on Ma Tao.
A snowy scimitar was like a crescent moon, and it stabbed Ma Tao's neck in an instant, and at the last moment, Ma Tao exerted force on his waist, and finally dodged by lying on the side with a donkey rolling.
The moment he lay down, the alloy crossbow on the arrow was launched, and the black shadow was also very flexible, and he would never delay if he missed a blow, turned around and retreated, naturally letting Ma Tao's attack fall short and perfectly dodge the attack.
"Dare to sneak attack!"
Ma Tao, who got up from the ground, was embarrassed and scolded angrily, if it weren't for his cautiousness and flexibility, he would have become a cold corpse.
"Humans?"
The shadow let out a muffled questioning voice.
It was a man's movement, but it was so much that he put down the Xueliang scimitar that he had been holding on his chest.
"Nonsense, can monsters talk?"
Hearing him speak, I was even more angry, and I really wished I had just shot him with an arrow.
"So why are you angry, it's okay to do something? Aren't you still dead?"
The black shadow slowly walked out of the darkness, dressed in black, and he couldn't see the specific appearance, the most memorable thing was his face full of scars, which was very conspicuous and terrifying.
The appearance of the sunspot man really startled Ma Tao, to be honest, with this face, at first glance, he is a guy who has experienced countless life and death tests, and Ma Tao is really a little weak when he sees it.
"What kind of attitude do you have, it's only a matter if you're dead?"
Although he was a little afraid of this guy's face, after all, he couldn't control so much that he was angry, so Ma Tao directly pushed back.
"Being alive is the greatest happiness, who cares about that, boy, are you here to find a chariot too?"
The black-clothed scarred face wiped his scimitar, glanced at the angry Ma Tao, and asked nonchalantly.
"Well, aren't you here for the chariot too?"
Ma Tao watched him polish the knife, the sharp blade flashed with silver light, it was extremely cold, and it looked like a good knife.
There is always such a group of madmen in this world who do not want to die, who do not like to rely on the sturdy and powerful artillery of chariots, and like the thrill of hand-to-hand combat, this is a freak.
"I'm here to sell it to make money and enjoy the rest of my life, but that famous wolf seems to have sneaked here, good luck, it's time for me to go"
After the black-clothed scarface finished speaking, he ignored Ma Tao's angry appearance on the side, retracted the knife from its scabbard, retreated into the darkness behind him, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, not even making a sound of footsteps, just like a ghost.
"Phew! What to play! How did you come across such a weirdo?"
Ma Tao spat at the foam, took out a crossbow arrow from the new and put it on well, and exhaled his bad breath, for this kind of person who always likes to hide in the dark like a bat, Ma Tao has no good feelings.
This kind of person is not gregarious, not to mention, the behavior and habits are always weird, either there is a problem in the heart or a serious mental illness, this kind of person is definitely a perennial patient in the Sixth Brain Hospital (Psychiatric Hospital) in his own world, VIP kind.
After all, after the black-clothed Scarface left, Ma Tao's next actions were really much calmer, and he would no longer be reckless and rampage.
Down to the second floor, the space here is even larger, if the previous layer can run a tank car then this layer can definitely run a big truck, the passage space is wide, even the walls are mixed with cement and soil, very strong, but here because it is underground all the year round, the air is humid, and now the walls and the ground have been covered with patches of green moss, on the moss on the ground, the traces of the tank car are clearly visible, which shows that the wolf has reached this layer.
I didn't expect this famous gold medal hunter to be really fast, but fortunately, this place is big enough, and it may not be possible to walk around for a while, so that Ma Tao is very curious about what this place is used for before, and after walking for a while, all kinds of corpses and bones began to appear on the ground, some monsters, some humans, many of them have rotted and there are only white bones left, and many unknown small insects are still wandering around the white bones, and there is a mixture of musty and rancid smell around them, which is very pungent.
After walking for a while, he reached a crossroads again, and Ma Tao found the corpse of a fresh monster, apparently killed not long ago, but the corpse was simply miserable, a pile of slime, and it was impossible to see the original appearance, and even a watch scan could not give an answer, and the only possibility that Ma Tao could think of was a heavy machine gun or artillery.
It should be a heavy machine gun that is more likely, after all, although the remains of this monster are scattered, they have not been blown up everywhere.
Looking at the passage where the tank drove away, Ma Tao hesitated, considering the strength and experience of the wolf, he finally followed, I am sorry for the cheapness, but I was just about to leave, and there was a strange movement from the top of the hole, and then there was a snap twice, and two green and round things fell and writhed.
Ma Tao fixed his eyes and saw that this was actually two big green insects, this thing has no eyes, but it is not small, more than one meter long and fifty or sixty centimeters thick, it fell to the ground at this moment, rolled over, and the two big green insects opened their big mouths full of teeth at Ma Tao as soon as they saw humans, and screamed twice.
"The bio-cannon, a giant insect infected by a radiation virus, attacks by a strong airflow air cannon with a mixture of gas from its mouthparts, and is called a bio-cannon because it can make a loud noise."
It was too late, Ma Tao had just finished reading the information of his watch, and before he had time to look up at the two biological cannons, he only heard two loud bangs in his ears, and his abdomen and left shoulder were hit hard at the same time.
As if being hit by a big hammer, Ma Tao's whole person was hit by a huge force on the wall behind him, and before he could slow down, two air cannons followed closely behind him, and in an instant, Ma Tao almost vomited everything he had eaten last month, and his internal organs were as painful as turning over the river and the sea.
Gritting his teeth, Ma Tao aimed at a biological cannon with a crossbow arrow in his hand and shot it over, but because he was unstable on his feet and his center of gravity was uncertain, the arrow was missed, and it hit the door hole behind the biological cannon with a spark and nailed to the cement wall.
The combat experience of this period of time played a role at this moment, Ma Tao rolled on the spot after shooting the crossbow arrow, almost the front foot just left, the back foot attack chased the buttocks, and the moss-covered wall behind Ma Tao was dusty, and the clods of dirt fell down.
However, there was still an attack that hit Ma Tao's shoulder, because it was not a direct hit, but it just knocked him down and did not knock Ma Tao to the ground.
Taking advantage of this effort, Ma Tao put on another crossbow arrow, got up and aimed at the moment when the explosion behind him ended, and the action was done in one go, and the arrow hit the body of a biological cannon, and the big green insect was puffing out its mouth and planning to attack again, and the crossbow arrow shot directly through its body.
With a bang, this biological cannon actually exploded directly by itself, and the white-green slime collapsed everywhere, and now Ma Tao finally knew what kind of monster corpse the pile of slime was before, it was disgusting.
And the other biological cannon saw that his companion was dead, he didn't hesitate at all, and he ran away with a strange scream, this scene stunned Ma Tao, in this era, even monsters have learned to escape?.
