The old horse smoked silently, he knew that it was Nantes joking, to ease his repentance.

A glimmer of light appeared overhead, and the sky outside was already slightly brightened, and there were torches burning in front of them, and the flames jumped and jumped, and the figures reflected on the wall also dangled with it.

A few pesky soldiers rummaged through the courtyards, and as they walked past them, their eyes scrutinizing and suspicious, as if they suspected that they had hidden the girl in the white gauze skirt.

Nantes learned the girl's identity from the mouth of the "manager", this refreshing girl who always likes to wear a white gauze skirt and smiles well, turned out to be the granddaughter of Ma Fenfen.

Old man Ma has only one son, married to the daughter of an old comrade-in-arms, and both sons inherit their father's business and work in the 5898 factory in Dashun City.

Just look at the number, you know, this is a military industrial enterprise, in the industry is known for the development of individual weapons, has designed several classic assault rifles and individual protective equipment, not only dumped by the whole army, but also exported overseas, enterprise benefits make peers jealous.

The old man survived to the position of chief engineer, and in his later years, he still went to the front line to preside over the research and development project of the individual exoskeleton, if it was not for the early detection of lung cancer, he might have to continue to burn himself in the factory. Such a character has earned him the respect of all employees.

At the time of the outbreak of the end times, he was receiving radiation therapy in the hospital.

The early radiotherapy had little effect on his physical function, he was able to move without hindrance and did not have to stay in the hospital, and his 12-year-old granddaughter took leave to stay at home with him, so he drove his son and daughter-in-law back to work.

According to the old man, being able to finalize the individual exoskeleton equipment and put it into production before he stretched his legs and closed his eyes is the greatest filial piety to him.

As a result, the factory has become the hardest hit area of virus infection, and a large number of adult production personnel and technical backbones have become monsters that bite people when they see them. When Old Man Ma hurried back to the factory with his sick body and granddaughter, neither his son nor daughter-in-law survived the first wave of the pandemic.

Ma Zhan endured the grief of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, gathered the humans who were still alive in the arsenal, organized the resistance, and rushed out of the mutants who had not yet formed a climate.

According to the emergency plan of their enterprise, the arsenal is a key protection object, and an independent civil air defense project has been built, which can be packed and evacuated at any time.

At first, no one knew what was going on in the world, and everyone was in a state of panic to take their equipment with them, and their retreating vehicles were stuffed with stockpiles of weapons and ammunition. Even so, they lost half of their vehicles and population, and they came to the bottom of the mountain in vain.

The mountain is called Camel Mountain, and from a distance it looks like a lying camel, and the hump rising in the middle is actually an extinct volcano.

The belly of the mountain has long been hollowed out, and an air-raid shelter has been built, in which ammunition depots, daily necessities reserves, and military vehicle fuel depots are set up.

It is said that it was built in the 50s and was built over the next 60 years. Old man Ma is a high-level member of the arsenal, so he knows about this secret and has the permission to use it.

When they arrived, one of the platoons had already been killed and lost, and it had become a makeshift camp for more than 200 survivors of their arsenal.

When they first entered the belly of the mountain, everyone was surprised to grow their mouths.

The civil air defense project was developed and built in accordance with the standard of resisting nuclear war, and the manpower and material resources invested were unimaginable, and they have not even been completed to this day.

The caves are connected in series, and there are long queues of trucks parked all year round, each truck is full of supplies. There are thousands of tons of crude oil, countless weapons and ammunition, as well as all kinds of military rations, clothing, tents and other daily necessities.

In short, the basic needs of human survival can be found here.

The barren mountains and mountains here are few people, and there are few people who have become mutants. The people finally overcame their initial fears and gradually stabilized.

Relying on this base, they found a safe island in the sea of mutants and began to rebuild their homeland.

Just like Chang Kun plundered and transported steel for the grain store, in the early days of the last days, everyone tried their best to hoard supplies.

Ma Zhan led the first 200 people, organized many sorties, and slowly moved the equipment and raw materials of the 5898 factory like ants moving. At the same time, the surviving humans who were taken in along the way were also brought in, and their number increased, and the team gradually grew.

Ma Zhan believes that the more troubled the times, the more valuable the weapons, instead of stockpiling some perishable food, it is better to hoard some production raw materials and barter with other bases.

Under the mediation of the traveling caravan, the weapons of the arsenal were opened up to market, and they were exchanged for various precious metals with the mining town, grain with the grain store, and electricity with the dungeon, forming a closed loop of trading.

For items that no one else has, the caravan will issue bounties and collect them from survivor bases around the world, or go to the ruins of cities to search for "Taobao". Ruins are a treasure trove, and there is always something in the dump that everyone needs.

However, Old Man Ma's vision is more vicious, and he has realized the importance of population in advance. Therefore, in the news spread to the outside world, the value of the first modified mecha opened the way for 500 women.

Old man Ma is in his 60s, of course, not for the sake of setting up a harem for himself or other absurd ideas, he wants to think about the employees and descendants of the arsenal.

If you can grow the population before the rest of the survivor base, reaching a certain base will produce explosive growth. When the time comes, he will have people and guns in his arsenal, and he will run rampant in the last days, and the vast land will be occupied by him.

Strategically speaking, Ma Zhanzhan's vision is much more clever than that of Liu Dazhi and Dou Chunhua. The old man didn't take mutants into account from the beginning, his eyes were on the entire territory.

After devoting himself to the vigorous reconstruction work, Ma Zhan's body has not had any more problems, and he has even felt tougher in the past two years, and he doesn't know if it was the impact of the virus or the misdiagnosis before.

Sometimes his subordinates asked with concern, and he waved his hand happily: "Anyway, there is no condition to continue radiotherapy, so I don't want it." Regardless of illness or age, my days are numbered, and it is important to devote all my energy to the research and development of individual mechas. ”

The granddaughter who came here with him has been in captivity for 6 years, and has grown from an ignorant little girl to a slim big girl.

Now she can't stand the boredom of everyone here's stuffy work, and she doesn't want to get together with those long-tongued women in the living area, and she just thinks about going to the outside world all day long.

The old man couldn't stand her naughty mischief, when she was 16 years old, she took her to fight mutants a few times, and thought that after experiencing the cruel test of war, the little girl should return to the beautiful little princess life, but she didn't expect this girl to be more fascinated by the outside world.

Ma Zhan couldn't stand her, and was slipped out by her many times, but fortunately, he was caught by the Minggang secret post every time he didn't go far, and he was young and weak at that time, and any adult could restrain her.

In the past two years, the girl didn't know who instigated her, and she exercised her body to be extremely slippery and vigorous, and the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl ran in a skirt and had a gust of wind, and many sentries couldn't catch up with her.

The old man is in full swing to promote the research and development of individual exoskeleton technology, and he is also a little selfish in his heart, building a mecha for his granddaughter to wear, and the chance of survival is greater.

As one of the high-ranking figures of the traveling caravan, Xiao Yang has a lot of information about the survivor bases in the northeast.

This time, he came alone to find Nanliu's son, and he was determined to make two great achievements to go back.

As soon as he saw Nantes' alloy armor, a whole bunch of ideas popped up. Guessing that the old man would like it, he kidnapped Nantes and came to give a big gift, which was regarded as a deposit for the caravan to take over the arsenal.

The old man picked up the alloy armor developed by Nantes with a Western background, used the technology and materials he had studied for many years, and finally completed an initial experimental prototype with the integration of Chinese and Western technologies.

It's a pity that Xiao Yang left a hand and left Nantes' core helmet in the mining town.

Ma Zhan didn't get the core control system, leaving a shell, as if a robot without a brain was just a humanoid doll.

If it weren't for the 5 alloy armors sent to the door by the pest team later, the so-called post-apocalyptic battle armor in the arsenal would only be a very useful killing armor, and it would be far from a real humanoid killing weapon.

Now, with the helmet core system, each mech is no longer an isolated individual, they form an army, and with multi-dimensional strikes on land, sea and air, it may be that only a nuclear bomb can stop the pace of their attack.

Ma Zhan was only because he didn't get the helmet that he was angry, and when he came to the door for the second time, even if he brought 5 brand-new alloy armors, he didn't give him a good face.

These things about Chen Sesame rotten grain were heard by the "manager" when he was helping the old man Ma transform the alloy armor, and the old man looked at the "manager" at that time, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and even such a significant problem as his sissy was selectively blinded.

At this time, the "manager" was following Ma Struggle's buttocks, yawning and searching everywhere.

"I said, what is your granddaughter's name? She likes to run out so much, shouldn't she run out......" He didn't have any idea about this wayward and naughty girl, after all, he had never even seen one side.

Ma Zhan stubbornly threw down the torch and said, "Xiaoxuan definitely didn't go out this time!" I immediately went to inquire about the sentry outside, and also checked the gate insurance, there was no trace of opening! ”

It was already dawning, and all the residents of the living area woke up, although the cave was still dark, but the emergency lights were enough for their daily needs.

When everyone heard the news of the disappearance of Ma Xiaoxuan and another guest, they immediately spontaneously searched for it.

Like those cronies of Ma Fenfen, they are not interested in the disappearance of the "second master", and they mainly make up their minds to find Ma Fenfen's granddaughter.

In the past two or three years, every time Ma Xiaoxuan escaped and was caught, those who made meritorious contributions were promoted to a higher level of treatment, which has real benefits, not to mention the improvement of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the priority right to marry!

For the sake of such benefits, these people even ignored Old Man Ma's dissuasion and had to go outside to look for it.

After all these years of cleanup, the mutants around the camel mountain have become extremely rare, and non-arsenal workers have the courage to go to the mountains to open up wasteland and hunt.

The surface of the mountain is covered with volcanic lava, which has been weathered and dissolved over the years to form fertile soil. The broad-leaved forests of the mountains are very densely vegetated, and wild animals are often infested in inaccessible places.

Under the influence of the virus, many wild animals have mutated, and their bodies have been enhanced and their intelligence has improved. Even a grazing bighorn red deer is not something that three or four people can deal with.

What's more, there may be wild beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards, and black blind people hiding in the mountains and forests.

Ma Zhan no longer insisted on his opinion, after all, his granddaughter was an eccentric character, and she might really escape from the base at night.

After tossing all night, Nantes, who was sleepy, couldn't help but look at the old horse sitting next to her as she watched people go out in a mess to find someone.

I haven't shaved for a while, and the old horse looks like a black whirlwind Li Kui. His eyes were red, but he stood up.

He sorted out some of the clothes on his body, touched the place where his lower abdomen had been injured, and said, "You go and see Xiao Yang's injury, if you don't recover well, try to persuade the widow to rest as much as possible, and then put a bracelet on him when you have time." I was able to recover in one night. ”

Nantes nodded, he knew that the old horse was worried about the life and death of the "second master", although he didn't believe that she would go outside the runway without saying a word, but he had to go out to see before he died.

It was also thanks to the old horse who went out to look for it that he reminded the "second master" to return to the team quickly.

Lao Ma knows more about the "second master" than anyone else, she is a sniper first, and a woman second. So he went out to look for it, and went straight to the top of the mountain. Even if you can't find her at the top of the mountain, looking down from a high place is more effective.

The camel mountain was not very high, and he soon reached the top of the mountain.

There is no vegetation in the crater, and a fissure nearly 100 meters long and several meters wide constitutes a glimpse of the sky when you look up from the belly of the mountain.

There is also an iron tower with a high-voltage line on the top of the mountain, and there are no traces of human activity around.

Lao Ma suddenly noticed that there was a set of cameras surrounded by glass covers on the tower, and there were red dots on them.

"Isn't there a power outage in this place?" He muttered to himself, deciding to climb up the ladder to take a look.

Therefore, when Lao Ma's black face suddenly appeared on the screen, the "second master" was taken aback, and she found that on the nearby hillside, people were searching everywhere.

She hurriedly stabbed the person next to her, and Ma Xiaoxuan, who the whole base was looking for, was next to her and fell asleep.

The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at it and understood what was happening, stuck out her tongue and said to the "second master": "Oh no, I'm going to be punished again." We have to get out of here, or this will be a big problem. ”

In fact, the two of them didn't go far, they have been in the courtyard chosen by the "second master", and there is a secret room hidden under the corridor pavilion of this hot spring courtyard.

Time went back to a day ago, and the bored Ma Xiaoxuan heard that Nantes and Xiao Yang were back here, and even brought a group of other people, and immediately took over the reception work.

The last time she spent a few hours with Xiao Yang, this scary-looking swordsman told her a lot of interesting things. After going out for so long this time, I must have encountered a lot of stories again.

It's a pity that the hot face sticks a cold ass, she jumps up and down to chat with Xiao Yang, but Uncle Xiao is now storming the heart of the pretty widow, how dare he chat with her, and send her away with a cold face.

The sullen Ma Xiaoxuan didn't know the reason for this, so she sent some food to everyone with a stinky face and was about to leave.

When entering the courtyard of the "second master", she found that this good-looking sister was bathing in the hot spring alone, and her wonderful figure made her, a green apple, envious, and she talked to her unconsciously.

"Second Master" is Shi Qing, even in the Ji clan, a member of a big family who was once prominent, and he was fascinated by this little girl with a few words.

Ma Xiaoxuan asked what the outside world was like, and she escaped several times, only daring to wander around the nearby mountain and forest roads.

This 12-year-old girl who encountered great changes in the world, although she still remembers the world she once watched on TV, she is more eager to know the current world pattern.

The "second master" told her about the strangeness of Easter Island, what she saw and heard in the ruins of Dashun City, and even the stench of the defense of Dashun Port.

Later, the "second master" didn't know if it was a ghost or something, and he talked about some things on his mind and his emotional life while chatting.

This is even more right for the girl's temper, and she is bent on asking who he is in her mouth.

The "second master" blushed, and if anyone in the pest team was here, I am afraid that his jaw would drop in shock: "The "second master" who gives away someone who falls over the shoulder at every turn even blushes sometimes. ”

In order to divert the topic, the "second master" decided to ask Ma Xiaoxuan to share a secret with herself.

I thought that this simple girl had no secrets at all, and she would definitely be fooled by herself.

However, this Ma Xiaoxuan really took it seriously, stretched out her little thumb and pulled the hook with the "second master": "Okay, don't change, I'll tell you a secret, you tell me who he is!" ”

The "second master" who thought he had succeeded in the trap smiled and hooked with her: "Let's talk about it first, your secret is heavy enough!" ”

Half a minute later, the "second master" watched in surprise as the little girl lifted her dress, revealing a pair of slender and slender legs, jumped directly into the hot spring, bent down and groped for some place under the water.

The pavilion next to the hot spring pond took on a strange shape, and a circular passage appeared on the floor, with layers of steps extending below.

Ma Xiaoxuan jumped ashore barefoot, lifted the hem of her skirt and smiled at her: "Let's go, I'll take you to see my secret base!" This is a place that my grandfather didn't even know. ”

The steps stretched down, and there was a light shining through, and the "second master" hesitated for a moment, knowing that he couldn't reveal this secret to other comrades, so he followed her in.

There was a switch under the stairs, and Ma Xiaoxuan pulled it casually, and the courtyard was restored to its original state. There's no entrance here.

"Second Master" looked around in surprise, she thought that there was a cellar or something like that below, but she didn't expect that this place turned out to be a modern combat command room......
