Chapter 256: Dreams
"Alas...... Forget it, why am I telling you this, it's quite shocking, don't talk about it."
Seeing that Ma Tao didn't squeak for a long time, Qiba suddenly reacted and quickly took back his hand.
"It's okay...... It's okay......"
Although Ma Tao said so, there are already 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart, and you are all done with the blow, but fortunately he is the Ma Tao you said in his mouth, if it is really changed to Ma Tao with the same name and surname here, I am afraid that I would have already used the knife with the two of you, and it can be so easy.
After talking to Ma Tao so much, Qiba was also a little tired, then turned over and went back to his bed to lie there, and then bent down and took out some food from the backpack under his bed.
"Would you like to eat something?"
Considering that he couldn't eat alone, and besides, he had just helped him pay half of the room fee, so he immediately reached out and handed Ma Tao a piece.
He took out a piece of black-flour steamed buns, which had been dried and hard, which could be known from the clicking sound when he bit the steamed buns hard, this thing was quite a test of the teeth, although it would not knock out the teeth, but the tooth friction caused by gnawing the hard steamed buns was really unbearable for ordinary people.
"No thanks, I've eaten"
Ma Tao waved his hand at him and thanked him for his kindness.
Generally, Ma Tao likes to boil a pot of boiling water and then soak it in boiling water to eat, which is not only very soft, but also has a sweet taste, and can nourish the stomach.
Soon, Ma Tao experienced another kind of torture from this person, that is, the business of teeth rubbing hard steamed buns, this sound is like the sound of a big mouse in the house gnawing on tables, chairs and benches, it sounds like a heart-scratching itch, and I can't wait to go up and find and then solve the source of this sound.
Living with people is like this, everyone's living habits are different, everyone also has everyone's favorite food, if you want to blend together, you have to go through a time process, but this process is tormenting.
There is such a story, saying that the husband and wife have lived for most of their lives, the husband likes to snore when he sleeps, and it is a particularly loud kind, even if he stands outside the door, he can hear it, for this reason, the wife is tortured and miserable, every night has to cover her head with a pillow or quilt to sleep well, day after day, year after year, the wife always thinks about how to cure her husband's sleeping and snoring, for which it takes a lot of effort, but it is useless, for a long time, The wife slowly got used to the sound of her husband snoring at night, until one day, a sudden car accident took away her husband's life, and from that day, my wife couldn't sleep, because there was no more familiar snoring in her life, and there were just countless loneliness and loneliness.
Of course, it is impossible for Ma Tao to enjoy the sound of eating here for the rest of his life, but this is also the time when he is most troubled.
"Are you mercenaries walking around too? Will there be mercenaries who are greedy for profit?"
In order to divert this troublesome thought, Ma Tao had to open his mouth again and take the initiative to talk to Qiba.
'Hmm...... Of course, we also run all over the world, but generally only in the area we are familiar with, we must protect the mission goal, once the mission fails, what does it mean? ’
Qiba answered Ma Tao's question while stuffing something into his mouth.
"What does that mean?"
Ma Tao was a little curious about what this profession, which is very similar to a bounty hunter, is like.
The bounty hunter lives by searching for bounty heads all over the world to destroy them, and he doesn't know what the mercenary's life is like, because he is not in that industry, and he does not know the rules of this industry.
"It means that you are a person, your mission has failed, and you are still alive, that can only mean that you are cowardly and cowardly, and you can survive when everyone else is dead, either you are struggling to survive or you must have escaped halfway, there is no other possibility, such a person, do you say that there will be business for him to pick up in the future, so, as long as the mercenary takes the task, it must be completed, and if it can't be completed, it is better to die"
When it comes to his career, Qi Ba can't help but feel a little emotional, with a hint of sadness and helplessness in his eyes, presumably, there have been many life and death moments in him, he can survive, and he must have paid a lot.
"But mercenaries also have beautiful times"
Speaking of this, Qi Ba opened the conversation box again, and the sorrow on his face before was all replaced by him in an instant, and then, the steamed bun in his hand was not eaten, he turned over and got up from the bed again, turned around, and said to Ma Tao behind the person, "I remember last year, we received a task, saying that we were going to deliver a batch of goods, and the number of goods is quite large, and the people who took this task went to the sea, there were almost hundreds of people, and only after that did I find out that the goods were there, but the people who hired us to go were dead, And it's been dead for a long time, so this batch of goods has become ownerless, and that batch of goods is not small in this way by a group of us people, all of them are food and necessities of life, that time, the people who went were sent, you know, I transferred more than 900 G of income at that time, catching up with my expenses for half a year"
Qi Ba looked a little addicted, closed his eyes, and added with a very regretful tone, "Now think about it, how good it would have been if I had rented a chariot at that time, at least earn a few thousand G of it, and now I won't be down like this."
"It seems that it is not easy to be a mercenary"
Ma Tao nodded, and understood that he was really able to have today by luck, friends, and hard work.
Think about it, if you didn't get this first chariot at the beginning, you wouldn't have almost reached the Happy Forest, let alone met Su Lanxi, including the current Xiaojin and Gao Han, perhaps, I am still fighting monsters in many villages in peace and stability and trying to make money, even if I can come out, I rely on my legs, I am afraid that I can just walk to Seoul now, and now, I can be regarded as having walked to six densely populated villages and towns, this is the difference between having a car and not having a car, A chariot may not look inconspicuous to you, but many people are just stuck on this chariot, for this chariot, work hard, and finally achieve nothing, there are many people, this is like the first pot of gold in life, when you get it, you will master the trick, and then the money, opportunities will naturally follow, how many people for the first pot of gold in this life exhausted their life's efforts but still fell short.
"Isn't it? It's hard to die, as long as it's outside, it's equivalent to pinning your head to the waistband of your pants all day long, and you can't tell when you lose it, just two days ago, I had a friend who took a mission to go to the Shura Hall in the south, I don't know how, I offended the person there, and never came back, and then I heard that he was arrested and executed because he stepped on the door of the Shura Hall with his left foot first, don't you say this nonsense?"
Qiba seemed very indignant about this matter, but he could only use his mouth to talk about it, and his voice was deliberately lowered when he said it.
This is the helplessness of the people at the bottom.
At the mention of the Shura Palace, Ma Tao's heart moved slightly, but his face did not show any abnormality, and he continued to ask quietly, "Shura Palace?" What's the matter, isn't that a nice place?"
"Who knows, some time ago, I heard that the woman in charge of the second head of the Shura Hall ran away with someone, and the anger of the second head of the house killed a lot of people, so that now everyone in the Shura Hall is in danger, and we don't know how beautiful that woman is, hey, you say, a woman can change so much, do you think she is Su Daji?"
Qi Ba suddenly asked Ma Tao.
Ma Tao could only nod again and again, and said "Maybe"
At this moment, Ma Tao was already laughing in his heart, and said in his heart, if you knew that Su Daji in your mouth lived opposite, I was afraid that I would be scared to pee my pants, but Ma Tao couldn't say this, he could only hide it in his heart.
"Anyway, I haven't seen that Su Daji, and I don't know what she looks like, but if she can run away with others, she must not be a good woman, I really don't understand, what does that woman think, there is a good life, but she has to be tossed all over the world"
Ma Tao stopped squeaking, hearing this, Ma Tao immediately realized that Su Lanyu's departure must have caused a lot of trouble in the Shura Palace, especially public opinion, the so-called people are terrible, and the masses who don't know the truth are likely to imagine many possibilities out of thin air, only you can't get it first, there is no one they can't say, Ma Tao also has reason to suspect that these may be spread by serious people, and the purpose is very likely to lead Su Lanyu to take the initiative to appear, he has known Su Lanyu for so long, Ma Tao has reason to believe that when Su Lanyu personally hears Qi Ba's comments today, he will definitely not be able to stand up and stand up, but once Su Lanyu appears, he will definitely be able to find their place.
There is no doubt that the power armor of the serious is his fearless reliance, and if he wants to penetrate the power armor that reaches the silver armor level, it is a little difficult to rely on their current weapons, but the main gun is okay, but the seriousness will definitely not let the C device have time to lock him, once the fight starts, it will be like the last time and run away, my sister's weapon is okay, but it can only be taken by surprise, after all, seriousness is not a live target, and it will not give others this chance.
Serious this person, insidious and cunning, cold-blooded and ruthless, the same for everyone, this is a real villain, and villains are often most willing to disguise themselves as righteous gentlemen, Ma Tao and Serious, or Su Lanyu and Serious, can definitely only survive one, but now, it can only be as far as possible to hide, want to kill Serious, unless their chariot is fully upgraded, only in this way can Ma Tao have the foundation of a war, in or, install a SE equipment that can pose a threat to Serious, but, Now the three tanks don't even have SE ports, and even if they buy SE equipment, they can't install them, unless they go back to Roque to get an eye on SE, but it will be a long time.
Not to mention anything else, at the moment everyone only has about 10,000 G, and there are three combat vehicles to replace the equipment, including the engine, the main gun, the C device, and the eye, calculated, the total cost is definitely 30,000G, which is not a small amount, or even quite large.
Thinking of these, Ma Tao's head is big, and other people's rebirth is more beautiful and beautiful, and even with a plug-in, it can be said that it is a spark with lightning all the way, or it is a shock to the tiger's body, Wang Ba's anger suddenly arises, scaring away thousands of troops, how can it be so difficult to get to himself, first there is Su Lanxi waiting for the resurrection, and then there is the death of Xiao V's mother. The most important point is that Ma Tao wants to know the most in his heart, that is, how did he come here, this question Ma Tao has thought about countless times, all of this is like an invisible whirlpool that trapped Ma Tao in the whirlpool, seemingly unconnected, but always felt that they could be connected together, Ma Tao had a feeling that a huge conspiracy seemed to be being opened by himself little by little, As for what this conspiracy is, he can't think of it, maybe Noah can know about it, or Noah doesn't know whether he is a variable or an inevitability.
"Hey!"
While he was thinking, someone suddenly pushed his shoulder with his hand, and Ma Tao suddenly woke up.
"What's wrong?"
Blinking his somewhat astringent eyes, Ma Tao asked.
"I was talking to you, and all of a sudden, you were like a fugue, sitting there motionless, without even blinking your eyes, and if you weren't breathing, I would have thought you were dead."
Qi Ba didn't care about what he said, and he was even more outspoken, but Ma Tao was not angry, such a person has a straight personality and doesn't beat around the bush when he speaks, he thinks it's very good.
‘
"I'm sorry, I was thinking about things just now."
Ma Tao smiled a little awkwardly and eased the atmosphere.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Seeing him like this, he didn't say anything else, so he asked again.
"What did you say?"
Ma Tao stared at him, unable to remember what he had just said, and his mind was blank.
"I said, if you like to go to the trod, you can go to more quirky places, and it's better to go to the north side, there's a tall building near the beach, it's quite spectacular."
Qi Ba said and made a rather big gesture with his hand to Ma Tao.
"North? Got a building? ”
This made Ma Tao have a lot of ideas at once.
"It's a pretty big building, and there's so much space in it, so you can run a chariot and train easily."
He reached out and gestured again.
"You've been there...... Building? ”
Ma Tao asked.
"No, I've only seen it from afar, but I haven't been in"
He shook his head and replied a little embarrassed.
Hearing his words, Ma Tao frowned slightly, and looked elsewhere with some disappointment.
Generally speaking, let others go to a place you haven't been to, if it's a safe place, it's nothing, but if it's a dangerous place, you're likely to pit others, so Qi Ba was a little embarrassed to answer Ma Tao's question, as if he had the intention of deliberately pit him, thinking of this, Qi Ba immediately explained, "Actually, you don't have to go in, just take a look at it from a distance, because that building is really too big, I've never seen such a big building, I'm afraid there is no such tall building except for Noah City"
Ma Tao smiled, knowing that he might have misunderstood himself, but it was okay to see that Ma Tao was silent, and he really thought that Ma Tao was angry with himself, so he didn't stop being bored, lay back on his bed, and quietly began to sleep.
Ma Tao also lay down on his bed, thinking about the giant building that Qi Ba just mentioned.
Normally, the buildings in this world are almost always as secret as possible, the safer the better, like this kind of huge and particularly tall building, it is really very rare, Ma Tao has never seen a particularly tall building since he came here, in the ruined city of Odo, or in Pat Harbour, the highest is three or four floors is already the limit, because it will attract Noah's attention if it is high, it is not easy to build a tall building, but if it is destroyed, it will be a matter of a few minutes, besides, such a building is also easy to attract the attention of monsters, Attract a lot of monsters to hide in it, they don't care what kind of load-bearing wall or solid pillar, they feel uncomfortable, they can't look at it, and they will give you a mess in an instant, and it won't be long before the designated house collapses.
As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, such a huge building, towering there, either has a special geographical location, or has a special role, in one way, that is, what terrifying Noah monster inhabits the building, and only these three possibilities will be the specific reason why Noah gave up destroying this tall building.
Thinking about it, a trace of sleepiness hit, and the other bed had fallen asleep, and the sound of even breathing came one after another, which made Ma Tao know that he had fallen into a deep sleep, and looked at the surroundings that had gradually quieted down, and Ma Tao slowly closed his eyes.
I don't know how long it took, Ma Tao suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him surprised him again, because this place was too familiar to him, counting this time, he had already come here three times.
The vast cosmic space is still so beautiful, the stars are bright, the light is dazzling, Ma Tao's feet are a void, out of the countless distant galaxies, it seems that only he is left in the entire universe.
What's going on?
Why am I here again?
What about Su Lanxi? Will I see Su Lanxi?
Suddenly thinking of this question, Ma Tao's heart suddenly became excited, and the sense of anticipation was like a surging tide in his chest, and he couldn't wait to see Su Lanxi's figure immediately, but after waiting for a long time, the surroundings were still like that, dead and quiet, and even the huge comet slid past him without making even a single decibel sound.
Odd? How can it be so quiet?
Ma Tao also understood this question and began to want to find the answer, but there was nothing around him except himself, and he didn't even have tools to make a sound.
What's going on? Am I deaf?
Looking around with some concern, and then looking at his hands, Ma Tao suddenly thought of something, and then Ma Tao spread his palms, and then slapped them with a snap.
The crisp slap reverberated throughout the universe, like a cosmic explosion, and it hurt people's ears.
Damn, aren't you deaf? Hear me clearly.
Ma Tao scolded secretly, and then looked around, the surroundings were still like that, except for the vast universe, there was nothing.
Syllable!
There was another crisp slap, but this time Ma Tao didn't clap his hands, but gave himself a big mouth.
This time, the voice thought even more, the entire universe seemed to be trembling, and in an instant, countless meteorites were shaken down from nothingness, and meteorite rain fell in this universe.
This is not a meteor shower but a meteorite rain, a scorching meteorite with a dazzling light roaring towards Ma Tao, subconsciously, Ma Tao used his hand to resist, and the next second, Ma Tao grabbed a hot meteorite in his hand.
Ma Tao was very surprised, this thing was burned red, but it was not hot, and when he pinched it hard, the meteorite turned into a pile of powder in his hand.
"Ma Tao ......"
"Ma Tao ......"
Just when Ma Tao was surprised, a voice appeared, and this voice was very familiar, Ma Tao immediately changed his body and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
In the vast universe, there was still nothing, Ma Tao thought he had heard it wrong, and was about to turn around, when the familiar voice sounded again
"Ma Tao ......"
This time Ma Tao heard it clearly, isn't the reason why this voice is so familiar is his own voice, he has been talking with this voice for more than 30 years, and he will never be wrong, this voice is his own.
"Who are you? Come out! ”
The angry Ma Tao roared around, trying to find out this guy who had always been entangled with him, unwilling, angry, and fearful, he had driven Ma Tao to the point of going crazy, and he couldn't wait to find out this person now.
"Who am I? …… Who am I? …… Who am I......"
His voice was puzzled, and the sentence who I am seemed to make him fall into some kind of entanglement, and the empty cosmic space was full of his own response to who I am, and it didn't stop for a long time.
"You come out! What are you afraid of? You're out! ”
His voice kept echoing in the void space, Ma Tao listened to it with anger and roared back in a voice louder than him.
"Who am I?"
Suddenly, his voice sounded again, but this time Ma Tao listened to it really, this voice appeared behind him, and the distance of the voice was definitely no more than two meters.
