The central area is smaller than Duke imagined.
The thick walls alone take up a lot of area.
Apart from the shelter controllers, monitors, sleep cabins and medical cabins, there is nothing else of value in the hall.
The most valuable among them are naturally the three medical cabins.
Other things are dispensable to Duke, but these three medical cabins must be taken away.
This is currently considered a black technology.
Then there are these dozens of dormant cabins.
Although the hibernation cabin is most likely not used now, it is pre-war technology after all. Whether it is collecting it or decomposing its technology, it is a good choice.
As for these monitoring things, Duke naturally wants them very much. After all, there is no such thing as monitoring in the City of Dawn.
But this thing is difficult to handle. It must be a complete set before it can be used. Just moving the surveillance equipment without the camera will definitely be of no use. Moreover, this thing is too loose, too heavy, and not easy to handle, so Duke can only give up.
Already.
After leaving the lobby and walking inside, there are many areas, but the internal spaces are not large and most of them are used for rest and entertainment.
Duke didn't know why they put the sleeping areas together and the entertainment areas separately.
There are also some soilless cultivation areas, but the machines inside have stopped running long ago, and there are still some gray powdery things left on them.
Duke quickly passed through these areas, but when he was in the food storage area, he paused because he unexpectedly discovered that there was food here!
Boy, food that's been around for over a thousand years?
To satisfy his curiosity, Duke opened a can of beef.
The outside of the can is brand new, as if it has just been made. There are several large pieces of beef inside, the juice is overflowing, and a faint fragrance wafts out.
After swallowing, Duke finally didn't eat.
He wasn't sure if there would be any problems if he ate it, but it looked like it looked good, so he would take it back and talk about it later.
Duke came to the last area, which was the weapons and equipment area.
It requires the ID cards of at least three people to open it.
But because No. 2 had hijacked the artificial intelligence of the shelter, Duke didn't need to think of a way. With a "beep", the door to the weapons and equipment area opened.
The moment he saw what was inside, Duke's eyes lit up.
Get rich!
The weapons and equipment area is not large, but the design inside is very compact.
Naturally, the things were not full, only a small part, but for Duke, these were enough.
There are non-lethal weapons such as batons, stun guns, anti-riot net guns, tranquilizer guns, and tear gas.
There are also lethal weapons such as grenades, kinetic weapons and energy weapons.
But there is only one energy weapon.
It is a laser rifle that is over one meter long and full of science fiction feel.
Duke studied the manual next to him and found that the rate of fire of this rifle was relatively slow. It had to wait for cooling after shooting up to three times each time, otherwise it might explode, but it seemed to be quite powerful.
But because the space here is relatively small, and Duke is cautious about such unfamiliar things, he did not experiment with its power.
In addition to guns, there are also various types of body armor, explosion-proof shields, protective clothing, daggers, etc.
Duke even saw several long knives and swords with a sci-fi feel. These weapons looked as beautiful as works of art.
They were placed quietly where the sign "Cold Weapon Zone" was hung.
Duke didn't know which one was the most powerful, but the most eye-catching one was undoubtedly the broad-bladed sword.
The entire sword is one meter long, twenty centimeters wide and two centimeters thick.
This isn't a sword at all. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a shield. It doesn't look like it can be used by ordinary people.
The entire sword body is made of a black alloy. There is no instruction manual, and Duke doesn't know the specific material, but it is definitely not ordinary.
However, when Duke held the hilt of the sword with both hands and prepared to pick it up, he unexpectedly discovered that the sword was unexpectedly light.
With Duke's current arm strength, it feels like it weighs about the same as an ordinary rifle.
Could it be a model?
Duke held it with one hand and swiped it casually.
At first, it was as light as holding a wooden stick, and there was a feeling, but no weight.
However, when the sword was swung, Duke felt that the sword seemed to be getting heavier?
Duke was a little unsure if it was an illusion, but he soon discovered that it was not an illusion!
Because when the big sword was cut down and was about to approach the table, the big sword became extremely heavy!
It was as if his hand was not a sword, but a mountain!
Duke didn't know how heavy the big sword was at this time, but he had to hold it with both hands, but even so, the big sword felt like it was about to fly out of his hands.
boom--
There was a loud noise, accompanied by various debris flying up.
Duke closed his eyes.
Two seconds later, Duke opened his eyes.
At this time, where is this weapons and equipment room? It's like a comet hitting the earth!
With Duke as the center, a deep pit with a diameter of about ten meters appeared.
The reinforced concrete underfoot, which can withstand nuclear explosions, was sunk about half a meter deep!
There are cracks one after another around the deep pit.
Fortunately, this weapons and equipment room area was built according to high standards, otherwise he might have destroyed the whole house with his sword!
Duke looked in a daze at the consequences of his "slight wave".
"This thing...is called a cold weapon?"
After being stunned for a while, Duke came back to his senses and slapped his forehead in annoyance.
"What the hell..."
The cold weapons area is at the very back, and next to it is the defense equipment area.
With this strike of his sword, he not only destroyed the cold weapons area, but also destroyed most of the defensive equipment area next to it. Of those body armors, explosion-proof shields, etc., only a few sets were still intact, and the rest were all reduced to flying objects.
Gray!
Duke was a little upset because he lost a lot of money because of his curiosity!
"By the way, there are also those swords!"
Duke hurriedly rummaged through the small ruins and quickly found the cold weapons. In addition, he also found a few small buckler-like things that he had ignored before. He didn't know what they were.
What the hell.
Unlike those body armors, these swords and small bucklers were intact and no damage could be seen. This made Duke even more sure that they were of the same category as the big sword.
But Duke didn't dare to try it casually anymore. This thing was too weird. It would be good to destroy the building, but it would be bad if it hurt him.
Duke felt that he was not suitable for such a dangerous thing, and that the laser rifle was more suitable for him.
After putting up these swords and bucklers, the rest was fine, but the big sword was too big and difficult to hold. Duke could only imitate the piano and carry the big sword on his back.
It looks like that's quite the case.
Anyway, as long as you don't use it, this sword is basically weightless and you won't feel tired when carrying it.
There are special boxes and baggage in the weapons area.
It took Duke a full hour to pack these things.
Duke was somewhat disappointed not to see such a thing as powered armor.
But he can also understand that, after all, strictly speaking, this shelter is privately run and not for military purposes. It is normal that there are not many advanced weapons in it.
But just as Duke was about to leave the weapons and equipment area, No. 2 suddenly said:
"Mr. Duke, there is a mezzanine inside. Do you want me to help you open it?"
"Huh? Of course!"
Click——
Not far away, a small hidden door half a meter thick opened. The space inside was not large, and only three oval objects the size of basketballs were placed.
When he saw the yellow and black trefoil symbol on this thing, Duke suddenly fell silent.
Private hosting? Non-military use?
"Master, I have arrived."
At this time, Alger's voice came from the speaker in the hall.
Duke had dictated a route to Alger before. Although this route had nothing along the way, it was better because there were fewer people.
Alger led the team and spent a lot of time before sneaking to the gate of the central area.
Duke could see from the surveillance camera that there were a few sneaky people outside the gate, it was Alger and his group.
Everyone carries some baggage more or less, but they all travel lightly.
Duke told him not to take things that were not important. If he felt that things were important, he could transport them out first.
The reason why Alger came so late was not only because the route Duke gave him was rather roundabout, but also because he had left some things far away.
The men assigned to him by Qin are all guarding the loot outside. As long as Alger gives the order, they will evacuate immediately.
Duke looked around the surveillance cameras and made sure there were no outsiders before he said:
"You first ask the people outside to wait fifteen kilometers away from the ruins in the northwest."
"no problem."
Alger didn't ask why.
Then Duke turned off the microphone and said to the display:
"No. 2, help open the door."
"OK."
In a dark corner outside the gate, Alger, dressed in heavy armor, was waiting quietly.
His subordinates asked with some confusion:
"Boss, what are we doing here? Hasn't this place been searched by all forces... Although the door is the most central area of ​​the entire ruins, everyone has tried every method and failed to open the door. In the end, they were unable to open it.
If you don’t decide, we’ll talk about it later…”
"Yeah, this place is too remote, and there aren't many good things around. We will waste a lot of time just going back and forth..."
"That's right..."
Several of his subordinates spoke in confusion.
Although Alger's character is a little arrogant, but most awakened people are like this. He is actually a relatively easy-to-talk person. He is only more serious when fighting. Normally, everyone can basically speak freely in front of him.
Although it is not good to question the boss's decision, the current situation is special. While other forces are happily digging ruins, they are hiding here in a daze. This is really unreasonable.
After all, it's not easy to go to the wilderness, and it's even more difficult to be so lucky to enter the ruins.
At this time, wasting time is really a waste of life!
Faced with the doubts of his men, Alger didn't explain much.
He did not tell anyone else that Master Duke was still alive. Master Duke said that he had a lot of good things there and he needed to come and help transport them away.
When it comes to interests, Alger is even less likely to expose Duke. This will not only bring danger to Duke, but also to them.
Everyone knows how to make money secretly.
Alger said with a cold face:
"Wait."
"yes."
Seeing that Alger was more serious, no one dared to say anything more.
I had no choice but to hold my breath, hold my weapon tight, and wait slowly.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from not far away.
Then everyone, including Alger, slowly opened their mouths.
I saw the thick door, which no one could open or even blow open, slowly opened a crack, and the warm white light inside just shone on everyone's faces, reflecting their confused faces.
"Oh my God! The door to the middle area—opened by itself?"
"Boss! This opportunity cannot be missed!"
"Our luck is simply invincible! Isn't this a mistake?"
"Go, go, go!"
Alger was also very excited, but he did not lose his mind. After all, the mission given to him by Master Duke was still continuing.
But vaguely, Alger felt something was wrong. Is it really such a coincidence?
Is it...impossible?
At this moment, Duke's calm voice came from the headset.
"Come in."
"..."
Alger was stunned for a moment, but after all, he was an awakened person who had seen strong winds and waves. He quickly calmed down, and then said with a serious face:
"The time has come, come with me."
After saying that, he put away his weapon and walked to the door in a swaggering manner.
All the boys were stunned.
Then he was filled with shock.
This was planned by their boss? How did the boss open the door?
But now was not the time to ask questions, so everyone quickly followed and entered the gate together.
Rumble~
Before they had time to observe, the door suddenly closed. Everyone picked up their weapons in a panic, but Alger stretched out his hand to stop everyone's movements, and then said respectfully:
"Master Duke, I'm here."
"Master Duke?"
Only then did everyone realize that behind the hall, there was a figure standing with a giant sword on his back, it was Duke!
When I saw Duke, I was naturally shocked, and why was Duke carrying a giant sword on his back? When I took a quick look, I thought it was Qin. Could this be called a husband-wife relationship?
But Alger's team has always been very disciplined. No matter how many doubts they had, they didn't dare to ask more questions. Instead, they spoke quickly:
"I've met Master Duke."
"Come here, everyone. It's not easy for me to do this alone."
Alger led everyone to follow, and they had time to carefully observe the hall. Everyone was dazzled by what they had seen and what they had not seen before.
"You take all these things apart and pack them up, like this..."
Duke demonstrated in front of them how to dismantle the hibernation capsule.
Everyone quickly learned it and started getting busy.
"By the way, you must be careful with these things!"
Duke pointed to three of the unusually tightly packed large boxes and said.
Contained here are the three bombs with nuclear radiation symbols printed on them. Judging from their small size, they are probably small-yield tactical nuclear bombs.
But no matter how small the yield, a nuclear bomb is a nuclear bomb, and Duke is still a little timid.
Duke didn't want to take this thing, but after all, it is a nuclear bomb, a big killer! If it were left here, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?
In the end, Duke couldn't resist the temptation.
The worst thing is to be careful when transporting.
And he believed that with the technology at that time, the safety of these three small nuclear bombs should still be guaranteed.
The more people there are, the more power there is, and things will be packed quickly.
Fortunately, there are some trolleys here, otherwise they wouldn't be able to take away these dozens of medical cabins.
But there was a hint of worry on Alger's face.
"Master, if we go out like this, we will be stared at..."
As soon as he said this, everyone else also reacted.
It was really fun when I just packed it up, but now when it’s time to leave, everyone knows that a challenge is coming.
After all, there are only a dozen of them, but they are carrying goods that even a legion may not be able to obtain. Who wouldn't be jealous of this?
If you go out like this, you are definitely giving benefits to others!
But if they leave most of the items behind, they won't be willing to part with them. After all, these are relic items!
But Duke said:
"We are not leaving through the gate."
After saying that, Duke led everyone to the back of the hall and operated in some places.
Rumble~
A tunnel appeared in front of everyone.
"Walk."
Duke took the lead and led the way.
There are cameras here. He has scouted the situation in advance and there is no danger.
"yes!"
Everyone followed behind excitedly.
Everyone, including Alger, looked at Duke's back with admiration.
Chapter completed!
