Duke got on the bus. This was his first time entering the Overlord.
As a car, the space of Dibawang is definitely big enough.
The car is divided into three areas.
Entering from the rear is a weapons and ammunition area, then a terminal operation platform, and finally a living and rest area. The living area is the largest and can store a lot of things. It leads to the front of the car, and Beth can come in from here.
Such a large space is more than enough for two people.
There were only Duke and Qin in the car. Alger also came with them, but there were also several of his younger brothers in the other car.
Naturally, Qin was not alone in the car, but her people were still in the wilderness and could not be reunited until they got out.
"sit."
In the living area, Duke and Jean sit opposite each other.
Qin poured Duke a cup of hot milk tea, and Duke didn't refuse.
It's getting colder now, but it's very relaxing in the car, and drinking a cup of hot tea makes Duke feel like he's traveling.
Buzz~
The car started, and through the small window of the car, you could see Alyssa standing at the door. Duke waved his hand to her, and he didn't know if she could see it.
"Can't bear to leave?"
Qin's eyes were a little teasing.
"Ahem, that's a bit."
Duke told the truth that Alyssa had been by his side to take care of him since he woke up. This sudden separation was really a bit uncomfortable.
"Tsk, don't you think it's rude to talk about another woman in front of your fiancée?"
Qin stared at Duke and said, somehow, she felt a little irritable after hearing Duke's answer.
"Didn't you bring this up first?"
Duke said angrily, but adhering to the principle of not reasoning with women, he quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, tell me how you defeated the Deathclaw? Haven't you always wanted to tell me before?"
"I don't want to talk about it now."
"?"
Although the Earth Overlord is huge, it is not slow.
Three hours later, we arrived at the southern gate of Shuguang City.
At this time, there were still some vehicles and people queuing at the city gate.
Beth drove the Overlord to a checkpoint. After the soldier confirmed his identity, he waved, the checkpoint opened, and the Overlord walked in swaggeringly.
"Nobles, awakened people, officials, troops, or hunting teams of a certain level, etc., all have the right to jump in and leave the city."
Qin, who had been silent in the car, suddenly opened his mouth to explain.
"I said so."
Duke nodded in understanding.
No need to queue, which saves a lot of time.
Just like the steps Duke saw last time, Beth first submitted the formalities and paid a certain amount of exit fee, and then drove the car into the small two-way gate.
This small door is also called the disinfection area. There are several. Alger and the others went to another one.
After the car is driven in, the back door slowly closes, and it takes a while for the front door to open.
While waiting, Qin turned on a series of switches such as the Dibawang's air filtration system, radiation radar detection system, and collision warning system.
Originally, Duke wasn't nervous, but seeing Qin's operation and the dim and cold lighting inside made Duke a little nervous.
Rumble~
The heavy and tall metal door opened, and a ray of sunlight shone through the car window. Duke squinted his eyes slightly.
He keenly felt that the sunshine outside was stronger.
Buzz~
The Overlord slowly drove out, and Duke finally saw the wilderness.
Desolate, lonely.
This was Duke's first feeling of wilderness.
As far as the eye can see, it is an earthy color, empty and quiet.
If it weren't for some other vehicles nearby, Duke would have thought he was on Mars.
He raised his head and squinted his eyes slightly, and he could clearly see that the sun in the sky was more dazzling, completely different from the soft sun in the City of Dawn.
"This must be the first time you have consciously seen such a real sun, right? After all, the sun in the city is blocked."
Qin said aloud.
She knew that Duke had lost a lot of memory, so she said he was "conscious."
Duke nodded first, then shook his head.
He nodded because it was indeed the first time he had seen such a sun since the Elvis family woke up.
He shook his head because Duke felt that this sun was not that real. Compared with the sun in Duke's memory, it was still much weaker.
It was impossible to look directly at the sun, but he could now, although his eyes felt a little uncomfortable.
This feeling... is not much different from watching the sun in the City of Dawn.
After the Earth Overlord steadily moved forward for a certain distance, Duke turned back to look at the City of Dawn.
Only at this moment can we finally see the full picture of the City of Dawn.
It is like an oasis in the desert, firmly covered by a huge bowl-shaped transparent object, which is the sky defense system.
The sun seen in the City of Dawn is separated by the sky defense system, so it is a little different.
Then...could there be something behind the sun he saw in the wilderness?
Duke frowned and looked up at the sky. He seemed to have remembered something, but he seemed to have remembered nothing.
Is it...a memory from the past?
Duke fell into thinking.
Qin looked at Duke strangely. Although many people were as curious about the sun as Duke when they first came out of the wilderness, it wasn't like this, right?
"Hello? What's wrong with you?"
Jean patted Duke on the shoulder.
Duke turned around, and Qin's back suddenly felt cold.
In her sight, Duke had no expression at this time, and the muscles on his body and face did not tremble, as if time had stopped.
There was a faint glint in Duke's beautiful olive green pupils, and he just looked at Qin quietly.
At this moment, Qin felt that the person in front of her was not a human being!
She frowned, quietly held the big sword beside her, and then tried to shout:
"Duke?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
In the blink of an eye, Duke in that state disappeared. Duke looked at Qin with some confusion.
Qin stared at Duke. She was not sure if this was her illusion, but she did not relax her vigilance at all, and asked again:
"Who am I? Who are you?"
"Ah? Jean, you are Cape Jean, and I am Duke Elvis! Could it be that you...have lost your memory too?"
Duke was a little confused, and at the same time he felt a sense of schadenfreude. It would be fun if Qin really lost her memory - no, Qin can't lose her memory!
Otherwise, what if she attacks him? He can't beat her! After all, there is a man and a woman living alone in the same room, so there is no chance that Qin will think of something else.
Thinking of this, Duke instantly became nervous.
"Qin, don't scare me? Even if you really lose your memory, don't be impulsive. We have something to talk about. I didn't come here voluntarily - no, my consciousness is that I was forcibly tied up by you. Let's
Come clean, you can’t—hiss!”
Before Duke could finish his words, Qin grabbed his arm and pinched him hard.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean by 'tying you here by force'? Am I that kind of person? It's obviously of your own free will. If you slander me again, I'll beat you up!"
Qin fiercely clenched her pink fist and said.
The two stared at each other.
call--
Then, both of them let out a long sigh of relief.
"You scared me—"
"You scared me—"
"..."
"Uh, what's going on, tell me first?"
Duke was a little confused. Qin must have startled him.
Qin was not polite, she took a deep breath and said:
"You scared me to death just now. I thought you were out of control!"
"out of control?"
Duke was even more puzzled. How could his good health be related to his loss of control?
Loss of control is the abbreviation of mental loss of control. Generally, there are two situations when a person loses control.
First, we encountered the most terrifying thing in the Era of Cataclysm—the black mist!
Most people will lose control immediately after being contaminated by the black mist. A very small number of awakened people with bloodline sequences have a certain resistance to losing control, but they are not completely immune and will still lose control. It is just a matter of how long they persist.
Second, the awakened person itself will attract the black mist. The stronger the ability, the greater the attraction, the greater the probability of attracting the black mist, and the greater the probability of losing control.
But the above two situations are not consistent with Duke, which is where Duke is speechless.
And even if Duke really encounters the black fog, Qin, who is so close to him, will definitely not be spared.
Of course, Qin's disciplinary knight profession is mainly based on blood. If he encounters the black mist, he will not lose control instantly and have a chance to resist.
"...That's what I said, but the way you looked just now is like the out-of-control people I've seen!"
Qin frowned.
Fortunately, it was Duke just now. If this was a stranger, she would definitely take action first to avoid trouble.
Duke, on the other hand, didn't feel anything about what Qin said. He thought he was normal. Maybe Qin had read it wrong.
After they couldn't find the reason, the two of them didn't worry about it anymore.
Anyway, as long as people are fine, after all, in the era of catastrophe, there are a lot of strange things.
Alger's large off-road vehicle was at the front, with a pickup-type off-road vehicle guarding each side and behind. The Overlord was walking in the middle, and everyone moved forward in a diamond-shaped array.
The target is a foothold dozens of kilometers away, where Qin's men are waiting.
"Are you okay? I'll leave the next terminal operations to you."
In the car, Qin looked at Duke sitting in front of the terminal and said.
"is that OK?"
Duke didn't dare to guarantee it.
"By the way, don't you have someone to control the terminal? How did you operate it before?"
Duke asked with some confusion.
Although this Landlord is big, if you don't count Duke, there are only two people in the car, one is Qin and the other is Beth.
Beth is obviously the driver, and Qin is the combatant. Looking at it this way, there is one less person to control the terminal. Unless the Overlord stops, Beth cannot control the terminal while driving.
When Duke asked this question, Qin was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"Someone controlled the terminal before, and then, she died."
"..."
Duke always felt that Qin's words were a curse on him.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't run around, you'll be fine. Your predecessor was disobedient and had to go out to take a look. As a result, he was contaminated by the black mist. After he lost control, I personally solved it."
Qin said with an indifferent expression.
But Duke keenly discovered that Qin's mood dropped a lot after telling her about this incident.
Obviously, she doesn't care as much as she shows.
"Feel sorry."
"It's nothing. This kind of thing is very common in the wilderness." Qin smiled, then looked at Duke and said seriously:
"So, don't imitate her and run around. Otherwise, if you are really in danger, I may not be able to save you."
"good."
…
The car drove smoothly, but Duke soon discovered a problem.
He originally thought that the wilderness was the same desolate color he saw when he first came out, but now it seems that it is not the case.
The farther away you are from Shuguang City, the better the surrounding scenery is.
From the endless wilderness before, it gradually turned into a place with trees, grass, and even lakes.
Although the sparse leaves on the big trees are black, the grass is burnt yellow, and the water in the lake emits blue and green light, at least it doesn't look so desolate, as if it can breed life.
"Huh? That's..."
Duke saw a wild boar-like creature in the dead woods ahead, except that its body was a bit long and it had eight legs!
After hearing the movement of the vehicles, the creature raised its head, revealing a ferocious face. It grinned at the convoy, its huge yellow teeth colliding with each other, making a clicking sound.
However, after seeing the vehicle getting closer and closer, it finally chose to turn around and run away.
"This is a wild boar that has been mutated by radiation. We are very lucky."
Qin took out a sniper rifle with a very thick barrel. Duke estimated that the bullet must be over 12 mm.
Then she opened a small hole in the window.
Phew~
The outside air slowly poured in through the small holes.
Duke smelled a faint smell of rust.
“Friendly taste.”
Qin raised the corner of his mouth and pulled the trigger.
boom--
With the sound of a gunshot, the mutant wild boar flew five or six meters away as if it was hit by a heavy object, and knocked down a dead tree heavily.
The mutated wild boar snorted twice and stopped moving. Dark brown blood flowed all over the floor.
A guarded off-road vehicle immediately drove over. Two strong men wearing gas masks tied the wild boar with chains and hung it in the truck bed. Then the machine on the off-road vehicle turned and hoisted the wild boar up.
"You can have extra food tonight."
Jean closed the window.
Duke bared his teeth. Although he liked eating pig's trotters, if it came from such a pig, he immediately lost his appetite.
Duke had not deliberately observed the appearance of these animals before. Could it be that the pork in the city was also produced from this mutant wild boar?
When he thought that he quite liked eating meat, Duke suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
Qin didn't notice anything was wrong with Duke, she said with some pity:
"It would be great if Alyssa was here. This is pure wild boar, which is more delicious than the captive wild boars in the city."
"..."
Duke's cooking skills were actually pretty good, but he decided not to say it.
After such a small episode, the car was on the road again.
Slowly, Duke finally saw someone.
In the distance, there is a place that looks like a small village. A number of large trucks are parked inside, and the outside is surrounded by barbed wire to form a simple fortification.
"Here we are."
…
An hour ago, thousands of miles above, in the silent deep sky.
A continuous group of palace-like white objects floated quietly.
There are high-rise buildings, greenhouses, docks, tracks...
There are red flags engraved in some places, and there are also many Chinese characters——
【Jingu Sky Base】
【ten thousand years is too long, fight for now】
[When going out for maintenance, please keep safety in mind, wear protective clothing and put on the receiver]
[Create a civilized base together and build a harmonious society]
[Do a good job in safety and security and work hard to realize the 3rd 2nd Five-Year Plan]
…
The seemingly prosperous space base was lifeless, as if it were dead.
In one of the quiet and dark halls, rays of light suddenly lit up.
"drop--"
"004 biological signal detected..."
"The main system is starting...the main system is damaged, and the secondary system is starting..."
"Requesting access 004..."
"Request failed……"
"Try again..."
