Chapter 185: Finding a Water Source (2)
Human wisdom is endless, and no matter how difficult life is, there will always be a way to solve them one by one, which may be the reason why human beings can become the masters of all things.
The fire, surrounded by chariots, burned vigorously and warmly, driving away the endless cold of the night.
In the No. 1 tank, Ma Tao was lying in the rest cabin behind him and turned his head to look at the back of his sister who was motionless and observing the outside screen.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
Just like having eyes behind her, my sister didn't turn around to know that Ma Tao was looking at herself.
"Thinking about things"
Ma Tao paused for two seconds and replied.
"What are you thinking? Can you tell me about it? ”
My sister turned around and looked at Ma Tao with a concerned expression.
"I'm wondering, can the people of this world come back from the dead, and does the Regeneration Pill exist?"
Ma Tao turned his head sadly and looked at the guard above his head.
"Do you want it to exist or not?"
My sister can't answer this question, but she has a super thinking logic system and knows very well how to answer this question.
Ma Tao was silent.
That's right, my heart wants this thing to exist, and as long as I think it exists, then it must exist.
"Little V, no matter what, my sister is on your side"
There was some silence in the air recalling my sister's voice that made people feel very safe.
"Sister, thank you"
Ma Tao's eyes made contact with his sister and he was deeply moved.
Although my sister is a robot, her program is set, but I'm afraid my sister is also the only one in the world who is the best for herself, the most unrequited, for some reason, Ma Tao suddenly missed the woman in the old photo at home, the woman who made her sister, Xiao V's mother.
It turns out that unconsciously, I actually owe so many debts, whether it is love debts or love debts, these are waiting for me to solve them one by one, to explore, and my fate seems to be turning along a certain trajectory, which seems to be in my hands, but in fact, it can't be changed at all.
I don't know how long it took, thinking about these confusing Ma Tao in his mind, he fell asleep groggyly.
The sister on the side was still observing everything in the outside world as just now, listening to his even breathing, a trace of sadness appeared on her sister's always smiling face, and under the not very bright light in the car, my sister's eyes seemed to flash a layer of crystal water, which quickly disappeared.
It would be amazing if anyone could find out at this time, and it would be amazing that a robot-driven robot would shed tears.
Early the next morning.
After everyone had something to eat and drink, some hot water, extinguished the bonfire, and everything was cleaned up, they were ready to embark on the journey again.
"Ma Tao, we don't have much water left, it is necessary to replenish it"
During the drive, through his watch, Gao Han reminded Ma Tao
"Ah, my brother Tao...... I thought of it yesterday, and I ...... yesterday Ahh ”
On the other side, Xiao Jinzi obviously had a cold, and he didn't finish a word, sneezing constantly.
"Wow! Your voice sounds like it's cool."
Ma Tao felt that Xiao Jinzi must be uncomfortable at this time.
"That's ...... Pretty cool...... Ahh ”
In the No. 2 jeep, the snot and tearful little gold fought against his disobedient nose while driving.
"It's hard for you to drive like this, isn't it?"
Ma Tao guessed the scene of the little gold in the jeep at this time and asked.
"Brother Tao, I'm fine, Ah Sneeze!"
Little Gold replied.
"Or ...... Shall I open it? ”
Immediately after that, there was the movement of An Ruo's girl in the watch.
In the end, Ma Tao chose to stop after comprehensive consideration, forced Xiao Jinzi to rest, and An Ruo drove the No. 2 jeep to continue the road.
The next route to find the water source was guided by the sickle, so Ma Tao handed over the driving of the chariot to his sister in the same car, and he ran to the hood of the tank and sat outside with the sickle, chatting while adjusting the route according to the guidance of the sickle.
The temperature in the morning is still very low, and the branches and leaves of the trees and grass are still sparkling with dewdrops, which will not dissipate until the sun has fully risen.
The convoy is moving along the edge of the junction of the forest and the grassland, according to the sickle, walking along the border of this forest, you can reach it after five or six hours, now sitting in the car, maybe it won't take so long, but it won't be very fast, after all, this is a forest, there are some fallen and rotten dead trees everywhere, in addition to the thorns all over, bumpy and difficult to walk, encounter some narrow sections of the road still need to force through, and there is no need to walk so flexible, which leads to the speed of the convoy is not fast, the fastest speed is not more than 30 kilometers per hour, It was only a few points faster than walking on my legs, but fortunately, after driving for a while, a dirt road that was run over by various vehicles appeared, and the driving speed was improved.
The scythe identified the surrounding scenery all the way, and then guided Ma Tao to pass it to his sister in the car through the watch, and the convoy went all the way.
After about a quarter of an hour, the convoy reached its destination, a clear pool of about a dozen square meters, and the overflowing water on the side meandered to the east.
In fact, it is easy to find here, as long as you find the rut marks and walk along the ruts.
The trees around the pool had been cut down to create a clearing, almost crushed into a piece of silt, crisscrossed with wheel marks and, of course, more human footprints.
"Here we are, here I am talking about the water source"
The convoy came to a halt in the clearing, and jumped out of the vehicle with a thud of scythes.
"Strange, didn't you say there are barbarian guards here?"
Ma Tao didn't go directly to get water, but looked around, he had a feeling that there seemed to be a lot of people around him observing him, but if he looked closely, he didn't notice anyone's existence.
"I'll call them"
With a hearty smile, the sickle strode to the edge of the pool, then removed the weapon from his back and gently placed it on the ground.
Ma Tao didn't squeak, just stood aside and watched the sickle's every move, seeing the scene of him putting the weapon on the ground, Ma Tao understood that this meant representing his sincerity.
"Husha! Husha! ”
After placing the weapon on the ground, Scythe turned and took out his water bottle and shook it around again, then shouted in a dull voice.
"Husha, what do you mean?"
Ma Tao glanced at the collapsed nose bridge not far away and asked in a low voice.
"Husha is the name of the leader of this barbarian, and calling his name means that he is a friend, otherwise we will be attacked when we get water."
The bridge of the nose tilted his head, answering Ma Tao's doubts.
"I see"
Ma Tao nodded, and then found that after the sickle shouted these two words, several people covered in colorful dyes appeared in the surrounding jungle one after another, wearing animal skin armor, holding muskets in their hands, and many people were still plugged in the feathers of animals that they didn't know what they were, which looked a bit like the Indians in Ma Tao's impression, the only difference was that the weapons of these people were not wooden sticks and bows and arrows.
There were more than a dozen of these native-like people in the woods, and although they had all appeared, each of them still had a vigilant look in their eyes.
"Husha, thank God for letting us meet again"
Scythe made his rounds among them, and then gave a big hug to a large muscular man dressed in a single horn in animal skin and with camouflage on his face, who seemed to be Husha, the leader of the barbarians here.
"Scythe, how did your team suddenly become so powerful? I can't even admit it."
The big man, known as Husha, gave the sickle a hug and asked suspiciously.
"Where do I have such a strong team, oh! That's right! ”
The two separated, and the sickle quickly reached out to greet Ma Tao and introduce him to Hu Sha.
"This is Ma Tao, he saved my life from the death beetle, and the powerful team is his"
Scythe stood between the two of them, and with a smile on his face, he reached out and introduced Ma Tao to Hu Sha.
"Hello, I'm Ma Tao"
Ma Tao, who also showed a hint of a smile, stretched out his hand and said.
"Scythe's friend is my Husha's friend, Black Water Spring welcomes friends"
The big man Hu Sha did not shake hands with Ma Tao, but put the weapon in his hand behind his back, stretched out his two hands as if holding a handful of water, lowered his head, raised his hand, and said in a muffled voice.
The people around him, who seemed to be native, also straightened their backs solemnly, as if they were welcoming something solemn.
"Uh......"
Instead of shaking hands with himself, he stretched out two hands, Ma Tao looked at the hand he stretched out embarrassedly and looked at the two hands stretched out by Hu Sha, he really didn't understand what this meant, so he could only look at the sickle with a confused face.
"The tribal leader salutes you like you, just give me something"
The sickle saw that Ma Tao didn't understand this, and tilted his head and said.
Ma Tao suddenly understood, reached out and touched his body, but remembered that all the G's were placed in the back seat of Xiao Jinzi's No. 2 jeep, and he couldn't get it at the moment.
Ma Tao subconsciously took it over and saw that it was a gold ring, Ma Tao remembered that this thing was also in the dead man's backpack in the sea cave, and he was curious who was so good to save the rivers and lakes, but when he looked back, it was Gao Han.
The latter twisted his head and didn't look at him.
At this time, there was no time to say anything, Ma Tao nodded his head to express his gratitude, and then put the gold ring in his hand in the palm of Hu Sha's hand.
Seeing the sickle in this scene, they were a little red-eyed, and said that these people were too wealthy, and told them to give something casually, and just give a few G's, but I didn't expect to give a gold ring, a gold ring, I can't find it now, this thing can also be given away casually, it's really enough, I knew that I would change it first, how could I not let him blush.
Feeling something in his hand, Hu Sha raised his head, saw the shining gold ring, his eyes widened, and he rubbed it as if he didn't believe it, only then did he confirm that the gold ring in his hand was real, and immediately smiled and cheered and stepped forward to hug Ma Tao and shook it, and even his tribesmen were happy.
"Ma Tao, you are much more generous than the sickle, you can take the water here at will"
Holding the gold ring in his hand, Husha was very happy.
"Thank you so much for that."
It is really easy to solve it with this little money, as long as it does not involve people, the rest is easy to say, and Ma Tao doesn't care about this ring at all, even if he really cares, he is willing to do it, and immediately thanked Hu Sha, the leader of the big man.
"Brother Tao! Oh no, come and see, gold...... The gold is gone.................."
Just when everyone was happy, in the watch, An Ruo's crying voice suddenly came out, which shocked everyone's hearts.
