Volume 1 Chapter 25 Set Sail Again
"Your daddy?"
Ma Tao looked at Su Lanxi in his arms, then looked at Gangzi and asked, "Has he been to the north?" ”
"My dad used to go north and south, killed a lot of monsters, and then because something happened, he settled here and opened this weapons and equipment store, it just so happened that the old man didn't go out to play chess with others at home today, and my daughter-in-law came back in a while, I'll take you upstairs to ask"
The talkative Gangzi tidied up the counter, took the materials that his other brother had bought for Ma Tao and packed, and said.
"It's back!"
It's better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry, just as Gangzi was talking, a middle-aged woman wearing a plaid coat and carrying a lot of tools pushed the door and walked in.
"Guilan, you and my brother take care of the store, and I'll take this little couple upstairs to ask my father something."
Gangzi greeted the middle-aged woman named Guilan, the woman glanced at Ma Tao and the others, then at her husband, nodded, said go, took off her plaid coat and carried the tools in her hand sideways into the counter to clean up her things.
"Come with me"
With the consent of his wife Guilan, Gangzi smiled kindly at the two, and also walked out of the counter sideways, and led Ma Tao and Su Lanxi to the second floor first.
"Brother Gangzi, thank you so much"
On the stairs, Ma Tao looked at Gangzi who walked in front and was grateful.
"It's okay, I see you have a lot of equipment, you should be hunters, right?"
Gangzi looked back at Ma Tao deeply, and then said, "There are not many hunters who know how to be polite these days, it's rare for me to meet one, it's not easy........."
"Brother Gangzi looks like a person who has experienced a lot of things, and he has seen it through, and he doesn't care about it."
Su Lan used to hit the snake with the stick, and hurriedly said two more words.
"Alas......... When you're old, what fame and fortune are not fame and fortune"
Gangzi sighed and came to a half-open door.
"Bounty hunters are crucial to grasping information, and some information can save people a lot of detours, and even save lives at critical moments"
At the door, Gangzi looked back at Ma Tao and Su Lanxi beside him again, and knocked on the door vigorously after speaking.
"Father? Did you sleep? There are two young hunters who want to come and see you."
Gangzi whispered at the door, and there was a response in the room.
"It's Gangzi, ahem... You say there's a hunter looking for me? … Bring them in."
An old voice came from the room with two coughs.
"Come with me"
After Gangzi finished speaking, he immediately led Ma Tao and the two into the room.
The room was sunny, the first thing that caught my eye was a few old wardrobes, there was a square table near the window, a wooden bed, and an old man with gray hair was standing in front of the window to soak up the sunshine at the moment.
"Old man, good health"
As soon as Ma Tao entered the door, he arched his hand and made a small salute with a smile on his face.
"Sit down, such a young bounty hunter? Are you brother and sister? ”
The old man stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to find a place to sit, because Ma Tao and Su Lanxi did not hold hands or have more intimate movements when they entered the house, the old man thought that they were brother and sister.
"Old man, we are lovers"
Ma Tao and Su Lanxi looked at each other for a while, and replied to the old man together, in fact, Ma Tao took the initiative to let go of Su Lanxi's hand when he entered the house, there was no other meaning, Ma Tao just felt that it was too impolite to show affection in front of the old man, it was better to be dignified and steady.
"Oh"
The old man nodded.
"Father, the two of them are going to the north, they bought a lot of things in their son's shop, and they spoke very politely, and they overheard about your previous deeds, and I was very willing to hear about them, so I took it upon myself to bring them to meet you."
Gangzi respected his elders more in front of his father, and spoke with a smile, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"So that's the case, it was all many years ago, it's all Chen sesame seeds, rotten grain, I can't remember a lot of it, I'm bothering you, would you like to listen??" After listening to his son's words, the old man asked Ma Tao and Su Lanxi again.
"The experience of the seniors, the ears of the younger generations, how can it be called tiredness, old man, is the far north really so dangerous? That place... What's there? ”
Ma Tao paused and asked with a solemn expression.
This matter is related to his future outlet, and Ma Tao has to be cautious and serious.
"What's up to the north? Dangerous ........."
Gangzi's father pondered for a moment, and then said, "The north side is not the most terrible, it's all whistling shells, there are no monsters, for those who have chariots, take a serious dodge, you can keep your whole body out, there is no chariot, you don't have to think about it, the farthest and most dangerous place I have been to when I was young is the east side, there is a bridge across the sea, and there is an old factory on the other side of the bridge......... Alas............"
The old man closed his eyes a little helplessly, as if he didn't want to think about memories.
"Abandoned factories?" The two looked at each other in unison.
"Old man...... And what's in the old factory? ”
Su Lanxi, who was sitting next to Ma Tao, asked curiously and fearfully with her big black eyes, her weak breathing and her plump breasts showed that she was a little nervous at the moment.
The old man opened his eyes and looked at her, sighed, and then said, "It should be a waste garbage treatment plant, it is full of machines specially used to kill people, my teammates and companions have all been killed, only the one I left escaped back, but I lost an arm forever, I owe all my brothers and sisters a life........."
The old man didn't say that Ma Tao and Su Lanxi really didn't find that the left sleeve of the old man's clothes was a pair of metal prosthetics.
The two looked at the metal prosthetic leg with different expressions, Su Lanxi was very nervous, his face was pale with his half-open cherry mouth, Ma Tao was dignified, and it was the kind of thoughtful worry.
All this was seen by the old man, and he couldn't help but secretly praise Ma Tao, not panicked, not panicked, this is a necessary mental quality for an excellent bounty hunter.
"What's in the old factory?"
Ma Tao squinted his eyes and listened carefully, and asked the question that Su Lanxi had asked before, Su Lanxi was stunned when he listened, while Gangzi's expression changed, and he was looking at Ma Tao with some admiration.
"The Son Can Be Taught"
The old man's wrinkled face showed an appreciative smile.
"The bridge must be very long, and there must be something particularly attractive about the place where people still want to enter."
Ma Tao thought about it for a long time, and only this inference could be established, because no bounty hunter would go to such a dangerous area in order to hunt, so there must be something hidden in that factory.
"You're the quickest young man I've ever met, yes, that factory is said to have all the things a bounty hunter dreams of"
The old man smiled and answered Ma Tao's question.
"Dream, weapon... Or... Chariot! ”
Ma Tao thought for a moment, looked at Gangzi and his son, and said.
"That's right, a Jeep with a particularly high mobility attracts people to their deaths"
Gangzi added, looking at his father's metal arm from the sidelines.
"Can the factory get into the chariot?"
Ma Tao thought about it and felt that this was very important.
"Enter... No... To go, only on foot,"
The old man stared at Ma Tao's eyes, word by word, and gave Ma Tao the answer he didn't want to hear.
"If I could get into the chariot, I guess someone would have rushed into it a long time ago, and even today, I haven't heard of anyone except my father ever coming out of the factory across the bridge."
After just speaking, he stood up slowly, Ma Tao knew that this meant the end of the conversation and hurriedly got up.
"I take the liberty to bother, bear with me, the seniors tell each other, I am grateful, and the juniors will not bother"
After Ma Tao finished speaking, he led Su Lanxi to stand up and say goodbye.
"On the bridge across the sea, there are monsters more terrible than factories, we were lucky not to meet them last time, I hope you have good luck......"
The old man was still sitting at the table near the window and watched Ma Tao leave, and suddenly thought of this when Ma Tao was about to leave the house.
Ma Tao stopped, said thank you again after listening, and was led downstairs by Gangzi.
After taking the materials they bought, Gangzi enthusiastically delivered them to the door of the weapons and equipment store, and then he left.
"Are you really going to the factory?"
Ma Tao and Su Lanxi held hands and went out of the weapons and equipment store, Su Lanxi saw that there were fewer people around, so he secretly approached Ma Tao and asked.
"Let's see, I've heard another news at the bar before" Ma Tao reached out and hugged Su Lanxi's waist and said with a smile.
"What's the news? Ah! Tell me quickly."
Su Lanxi watched Ma Tao sell guanzi there, and pouted a little tantrum.
"It's nothing, it's just that I heard in the bar that there should be a big, big town to the southeast."
Ma Tao stopped teasing her, and directly told her about the hunter conversation he overheard in the bar before.
"You're really good, we've been playing, you've been inquiring about the news, haven't your head been idle?"
Su Lanxi was a little distressed and held Ma Tao's arm.
"Why am I not idle? Doesn't this make you idle! ”
Ma Tao was stunned for a moment, and asked Su Lanxi, who gave him a blank look, his face was slightly red, he pretended to be angry, and pretended to pinch his waist, Ma Tao also pretended to be in pain and dodged, and the two frolicked and fell in love for a while.
After finding a small shop, eating something, and finally packing up all the belongings, Ma Tao and Su Lanxi came to the entrance of the village, because they had to cross the silt swamp, Su Lanxi changed into a camouflage uniform, which was convenient and dirt-resistant.
Looking at the mud outside McGee Village again, recalling everything when he came the day before, as if he was still in front of him, Su Lanxi looked at the water drift with only two pairs left, and thought of his sister Su Lanyu who said goodbye, and couldn't help but feel sad and lost again, but there was no way, life had to go on, the enemy was still at large, he had to become stronger, and the road ahead was still very long.
Ma Tao put on leather armor and a fur hat for Su Lanxi, and personally put gunpowder on the musket for Su Lanxi to hold in his hand, and after filling the 95 type bullet of her waist power holster and fully armed, he looked up and down to confirm that there was nothing missing before he put on the water drift for her, and then checked his equipment, filled the rifle in his hand with bullets, gave Su Lanxi an encouraging look, and the two set off and left McGee Village.
The two of them went all the way to the south, moving slowly, although it was slow, but what Ma Tao didn't expect was that the musket in Su Lanxi's hand had made a great contribution here, don't look at the slow attack speed and hard loading, but to deal with the rifle birds flying in the sky, as long as the distance is enough, it is really a shot, clean and neat, especially easy to make, and for biological earthworms, the power is also even better, shoot at close range, and the biological earthworms that hit directly are broken into two sections.
Although the musket is not accurate at a long distance, the speed of the close-range attack is too slow, but it is not far away, and the effect is absolutely bullish, but all the monsters killed did not pick up G, one is because it fell into the mud too buried, and the other is that Ma Tao is afraid that when he goes to pick up those Gs, Su Lanxi will encounter a sneak attack, which is more than worth the loss, but fortunately, only the biological earthworm attack is strong enough, but as soon as this thing appears, the swamp must first turn over the pulp and bubble, which can be regarded as a reminder, Ma Tao is not a decent gentleman and will wait for it to appear, and it will be solved directly with one shot.
The two of them supported each other all the way, and when they came across the grove in the swamp, they leaned over to rest their feet and slow down their strength, and did not dare to go into the depths of the forest to prevent accidents.
After all, the weapons and equipment are much stronger, and the two people wearing leather armor can resist the frontal attack of the rifle bird for a while, and the bullet of the rifle bird cannot penetrate the defense of the leather armor, but the pain is inevitable.
After walking for about two hours in the morning, Ma Tao could already see the black V letters on his chariot after walking for about two hours, and finally came out of the swamp a few kilometers around McGee Village.
With a bang, the familiar sound of the engine meant that the chariot started again, and the two people who returned to the chariot were relieved, and threw the packages on the single bed in the rest cabin behind the chariot one by one, and at this moment, Ma Tao finally knew what Su Lanxi's backpack contained.
Good guy, when he got into the chariot, the first thing Su Lanxi did was to change his clothes, and directly took out a male combat uniform and brand-new cloth shoes from his bag and threw them to Ma Tao, because he had already had a skin-to-skin relationship with Ma Tao, and he didn't shy away from him, so he took off the camouflage uniform on his body in the chariot, and even the underwear that exuded the smell of swamp, Su Lanxi changed it.
Ma Tao looked at the cloth shoes full of mud on his feet and couldn't stand it, to be honest, just his current stinking body, if he really drove the chariot directly, then there was really no way to sit on the seat of the chariot anymore, thinking of this, Ma Tao suddenly felt that Su Lanyuhua's 300G was not so useless, but then Su Lanxi took out something completely mad Ma Tao, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and even cosmetics such as lipstick and colored pens were in it.
You must know that in this world, the price of a lipstick is enough for an ordinary family to save a month's expenses, but Ma Tao also saw a few boxes of cigarettes in Su Lanxi's pile of things, which is also a luxury.
"What did you all buy?"
Ma Tao was stunned, looking at the things that Su Lan used to take out, to be honest, in addition to being expensive, there are really few useful ones, the only thing that can be useful is that they also know that they bought two ginseng pills, and it is not a complete waste of 300G, and the rest is the most women's clothes.
"It's nothing, it's all women's figures, you go to drive, aren't you going to the southeast town? Let's go."
Su Lanxi pushed Ma Tao into the driver's seat of the chariot and didn't let him see it, but Ma Tao still peeked at the corner of the lace women's underwear in the backpack, and his heart was full of reverie.
The chariot set off, sticking to the edge of this swamp all the way to the east, and finally the swamp disappeared, replaced by green meadows and endless mountains to the south, the tracks of the chariot crushed on the green grass, and lifted up a piece of dirt, fortunately, the mud under the grass was very solid, and the chariot was a crawler structure that would not be so easy to lie down, and the speed along the way was quite fast.
Ma Tao didn't dare to slow down, when he met a monster with a slow attack such as a man-eating flower or something, he drove the chariot directly and ran away, all because he had not replenished the chariot at all since he destroyed the water monster, and the main cannon of the chariot now has one shell left, and whether he can find the town in the southeast direction is still two words, so this cannonball is very important, along the way, he would rather lose the armor of the chariot and use the 07 machine gun to break through than use the only shell.
"Ma Tao! There are tanks ahead! ”
Su Lanxi, who had changed into a women's combat uniform and wore leather armor, gave another kind of beauty, and at this moment she was looking at the tank on the screen that was getting closer and closer to orange and said.
"Yes, there are other hunters? I stopped and asked him if he had any shells for 45 guns."
Ma Tao also saw the tank in front of him, all orange, larger than his own chariot, the whole chariot was tattered, rusty in many places, it was not repaired, just like scrapped or just came down from the battlefield, it felt very strange, but it was undeniable that the chariot could still drive on the vast grass.
Maybe it was because they found Ma Tao's chariot, the orange tattered king-like tank chariot turned around on the spot, and they came after Ma Tao.
"Wait, I'll ask!" Ma Tao opened his seat belt and said to Su Lanxi, the co-pilot, that he was going out.
"Wait a minute! Something is wrong!! ”
Su Lanxi looked at the orange chariot that was getting closer and closer, not only did not slow down, but aimed its black hole cannon barrel at himself, and a sense of foreboding just appeared, and just before he could shout Ma Tao, the attack on the opposite side arrived.
Rumble!! Ma Tao's chariot was directly hit by a cannon on the front, good guy, the armor on the front of the entire chariot was basically knocked off, the chariot shook violently, Ma Tao stood unsteadily, and sat on the ground with a butt, which will make fools know that this is a monster, but it's ridiculous that Ma Tao still wants to borrow cannonballs from monsters.
“01! Counterattack! ”
As soon as the buzzing in his head stopped, the first thing Ma Tao, who had just straightened up, did was to order the C device to counterattack, and without waiting for 01's mechanical female voice to respond, a whistling sound of breaking the air came, and then, with a bang, another shot was given on the other side.
