The earth drilling machine looks a bit sci-fi, about the size of a small car, with a pointed drill bit, long tracks, and an oval-shaped carriage that can accommodate two people.
It is said to be an earth drilling machine, but Duke thinks it is more appropriate to call it an earth drilling machine.
The drill bit of the earth drilling machine has been worn a lot, and even slight cracks can be seen in other places except the drill bit.
"This earth drilling machine is a product from before the Cataclysm Era. We are not capable of repairing it."
Alger was a little helpless.
The stuff is good, but a little bit useless.
When they brought it back, it was still brand new, but after getting through such a big space, it became like this.
Duke can understand that this thing definitely needs regular maintenance and replacement of spare parts and so on. Without these things, it will definitely not last long.
But for Duke, this should be enough.
"Can I take it and use it?"
"Master, what are you talking about? These things belong to you, of course you can use them."
Alger said respectfully.
"Well, please help me get this earth boring machine away and bring it to No. 4 Ping'an Street."
"no problem."
Alger nodded.
Duke didn't ask how to get the things away. Since Alger agreed, he must have his own method.
But when he returned to the ground, Duke still said with some doubts:
"Why did you choose to be here?"
This is a slum that doesn't look convenient at all. Duke doesn't quite understand why they established a base here.
"Happiness District is also known as the Dongcheng Slums. It is very complicated. Generally, no one wants to come here. But it is precisely because of the complexity here that we can respond in time even if we encounter any situation. After all, we have been here for so long, and there are still some
The enemy’s... happiness zone is not just for us, there are also some other small forces who also like this place..."
After listening to Alger's explanation, Duke suddenly understood.
That seems to be the case.
After all, even cars can't get in here, and the roads are complicated. If Alger hadn't taken him with him, he would never have found this place.
But that being said, Duke won't like it here.
He planned to bring the underground drilling machine to No. 4 Ping'an Street, and then drill a space underground to accommodate Alger and his group.
Of course, there is no need to abandon this place. Some people can stay here. After all, there are three cunning rabbit holes.
When Duke told Alger this idea, Alger was slightly surprised, but he also supported Duke's decision.
It's not that Duke's decision was so wise, it was simply that since he chose to follow Duke, he naturally had to follow Duke's orders.
Even if he feels in his heart that this decision is unnecessary.
After visiting Alger—no, after visiting his own factory, Duke and Alger exchanged words and prepared to leave.
Others heard that they might go to a new place, but no one protested. After all, no matter how bad it was, it would never be worse than here.
When he came out, Duke saw some people who were dressed similarly to Alger and others. They met and nodded to say hello.
Alger told Duke that it was one of the small forces staying in the Happy Zone, and that the other party was also a team wandering in the wilderness. There were awakened people in it, and they were very powerful.
Although the two parties know each other, they are not familiar with each other and have no business contacts. They can only be regarded as casual acquaintances.
But this kind of friendship is actually good here.
And more is...
Whoosh——
A corroded steel pipe suddenly flew out from the side and headed straight for Duke.
"court death!"
Alger appeared in front of Duke, reached out and grabbed the steel pipe, and then threw it at a faster speed.
boom!
The sound of metal colliding sounded, and not far away, a thin middle-aged man wearing a battle armor walked out. There was a round arm shield on his left arm, and the steel pipe was inserted into the wooden house next to him.
His right hand was holding a small light green bottle. The man took a deep breath of the light green breath in the bottle, with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Simpson, you are seeking death!"
Alger glared at the opponent. Although the speed of the steel pipe was not fast, he could catch it completely, but it was a provocation to him, especially since the target of the opponent's attack was Duke. This made Alger very angry, but Duke did not say anything.
Nor did he make his own decisions.
The middle-aged man named Simpson didn't care about Alger's threat at all. Instead, he took another breath of light green gas and then looked at Duke and Alyssa with a grin.
"Have you... found the boss?"
"You don't need to worry."
Looking at Duke's confused eyes, Alger explained in a low voice:
"The forces here basically exist independently. There is no backstage boss, otherwise we wouldn't be hiding in a place like this. And we have been keeping a low profile since the Earl left. Few people know that we belong to Hervey
The Si family..."
Duke understands.
When Simpson saw that Alger was ignoring him, he turned to look at Duke, with a somewhat captivating smile on his face:
"Haha, little boss, what do you think of us? We are much better than Alger and his few losers. You will definitely not suffer any loss if you choose us!"
After he said this, more than a dozen strong men appeared around him one after another. Some of them were holding machetes and some were holding steel pipes. It seemed that the steel pipe just thrown was thrown by one of them.
But Duke was a little surprised when he heard Simpson's words. Alger was called a waste. Could it be that this person is a very powerful awakener?
"What are your abilities?"
Duke has always been very curious about the Awakened, and he doesn't mind talking nonsense with them.
"Haha, I am a powerful genetic warrior! Much stronger than an ordinary person like Alger who reacts faster!"
"..."
Is Alger an ordinary person?
Duke shook his head and instantly lost interest in this man. After working for a long time, he still didn't know Alger's strength. From this point of view, he and Alger were not at the same level at all.
Besides, he is just a person who has awakened the day after tomorrow. Duke now has a high level of vision. It is not enough to say he doesn’t like him, but he is not eager for talent.
Duke turned and left.
"Let's go."
"yes."
Seeing that Duke was about to leave without saying a word, Simpson immediately quit.
Even a weak force like Alger can find the financial boss, so there is no reason why he, the awakened one, can't find him!
Isn't it just that I have a history of beating my boss once? It's not a big deal. Why did that boss not know what's good and what's good?
"stop!"
Simpson yelled, but no one paid him any attention.
One of the boys holding a steel pipe saw that Duke and others were so ignorant and wanted to show off in front of the boss, so he immediately threw a steel pipe again, and the target was Alyssa.
boom!
As expected, the steel pipe was caught by Alger with his bare hands again.
Duke finally stopped and looked at Alyssa, who had a slightly panicked look in her eyes.
"Are you okay?"
"It's fine."
Alyssa lowered her head slightly.
Duke turned to Alger and asked:
"Is it okay to shoot here?"
"……Can!"
Although there will be trouble if he shoots, Alger can smooth things over for Duke.
"That's good."
After Duke finished speaking, there was no movement.
Just listen to a "bang" sound.
The boy who threw the steel pipe slowly fell to the ground, and his head exploded like a ripe watermelon.
When Simpson saw Duke stop, he thought things had turned around, but it wasn't until his little brother fell to the ground that he realized what had happened. Simpson's footsteps stopped suddenly, and even the light green "Dream" in his hand fell off.
Didn't even notice.
What a fast gun!
He didn't even see how Duke took out the gun! If the target of the attack was him, he didn't know if he could dodge it!
Duke gave Simpson a deadpan look and put away his revolver.
"Let's go."
"yes."
Chapter completed!
