"Where is this..."
Duke opened his eyes drowsily.
He found himself lying on Dibawang's bed, but it was already dark outside the window and Dibawang had turned off the engine.
"Don't worry, we have returned to the village."
The sound of Qin came from the side.
"It'll be nice to come back..."
Duke raised his head weakly.
At this time, Qin was heating the food. When Duke woke up, she came over with a plate of shiny meat.
"Give."
Duke swallowed subconsciously.
"Can you still move? How about...I feed you?"
Qin looked at Duke in a daze and couldn't help but frown a little.
Qin feeds people?
Could it be that Qin pulled his hair, shoved the fork into his mouth, and said, "Eat! Eat it for me quickly!" Feeding him like this?
"No, no, no, I'll do it myself!"
Duke quickly sat up and took the plate and fork.
"Eh-it smells pretty good!"
It tastes like beef, probably from a two-headed cow, but the taste is very different from what Duke had eaten in the City of Dawn before.
Simply put, it tastes richer and more delicious.
"There's even beef..."
Duke was a little surprised. Qin had said that the meat had been eaten before. Could it be that Qin had specially left it for him?
Thinking of this, Duke was slightly moved.
Qin also served a portion, sat across from Duke, took a big bite, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"These relic foods are very delicious, even better than those made by the chef at home!"
"Relics...food? Yuck!"
Duke was eating vigorously. After hearing Qin's words, his stomach suddenly turned violent. He retched twice and almost vomited it out.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Qin came over a little strangely and patted Duke on the back.
"You...you actually cooked relic food! I don't know how many years the shelf life is! Ugh——"
When he thought that these foods might have been there for thousands of years, Duke couldn't help but retching. Can this thing be eaten?
"Shelf life? What is that?"
Qin was stunned, as if hearing this term for the first time.
"..."
"No. 2, are you there?"
Duke quickly called number two.
"I am here."
Hearing that No. 2 was there, Duke first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked:
"Is this food edible?"
This is not Duke's fault, but you really can't eat things randomly, it might kill you!
"Theoretically, even a well-sealed can cannot be eaten if it has been stored for such a long time. But after calculation and analysis of the food you just ate, these foods are indeed edible."
One data after another suddenly appeared in Duke's eyes, showing various nutritional information on this plate of beef.
"Is it really edible?"
"Eatable."
Duke hesitated for a while, but decided to believe No. 2.
This is not only trusting No. 2, but also trusting himself. After all, No. 2 borrowed the biochip in his head for analysis, so he can't harm himself.
Seeing Qin's confused eyes, Duke quickly said:
"It's okay, it's okay."
After confirming that the food was edible, Duke ate more than ten heated canned meats by himself, leaving Qin stunned.
"When did your appetite become so big?"
"..."
Duke ignored him. After eating seventy percent full, Duke instantly felt alive.
"By the way, what happened to us afterwards?"
Duke asked, lying comfortably half on the bed.
While eating, Qin briefly talked to Duke without raising her head.
Originally, according to Duke's previous command, he could completely avoid the wave of zombies and still have enough time to return to the village.
But unexpectedly, they encountered predators and wasted a lot of time.
When we returned to the village, it was already dark. Fortunately, we didn't encounter anything else. We spent the day safely.
Duke felt a little emotional, this wilderness is really exciting, there are waves of zombies and predators, if you are not careful, your life will be lost.
But Qin shook her head.
"This is so normal in the wilderness."
Obviously, Qin has experienced more dangerous situations than today.
"But I still want to thank you on behalf of everyone. If it weren't for you, even if we could escape, we would have lost a lot of goods and even lost our personnel."
Qin looked at Duke and said seriously.
Seeing the sincerity in Qin's eyes, Duke waved his hand.
"You're welcome. We are all in the same boat. Saving you is also saving myself. Besides, you have protected me for so long!"
The beginning of this sentence was fine, but when the word "protect" came up, Qin suddenly frowned.
"I should thank you, but I want to know - why did you sneak out without obeying the order!"
Qin stared at Duke. There was both anger and displeasure in her beautiful blue eyes, as well as a hint of grievance. Duke didn't know if he had seen it wrong.
"Even if you want to go to the ruins, you must at least tell me. If I really can't find you, or you die..."
Qin suddenly said with some sadness.
"I'll kidnap that little maid from your house!"
After hearing Qin's words, a picture appeared in Duke's mind:
The pretty little maid who knew a little bit about everything was threatened by Qin with a sword to leave No. 4 Ping An Street and never come back again. The little maid turned around with tears in her eyes...
Duke waved his hand quickly.
"No, no!"
Alyssa was his first good friend here and she helped Duke a lot, but Duke couldn't bear to see her leave.
"snort!"
Qin glared at Duke coldly. Seeing Duke so nervous, she felt inexplicably irritated.
She didn't ask why Duke sneaked out. Anyway, it had already happened, and it had a happy ending. The matter had been revealed for the time being, but Qin was still very curious about what happened to Duke in the ruins.
Duke didn't hide too much, so he roughly told what happened in the ruins. Of course, everything about No. 2 was hidden by Duke.
Anyway, he knows the word "relics", so anything can happen in the ruins.
Qin didn't doubt it either, but when Duke talked about the things in the central area of ​​the ruins, she was a little surprised.
"You mean, in this shipment of ours, there are three medical cabins that can cure all diseases?"
"It won't cure all illnesses, but it can indeed cure many injuries and diseases. This should be regarded as one of the most technologically advanced and valuable things in this ruins."
Speaking of this medical cabin, Duke was still a little depressed. This medical cabin could not completely cure him! This was somewhat regrettable for him.
But for Qin, or for people like them who often wander into the wilderness, this medical cabin is definitely an artifact!
In a way, this is a life.
"Duke, just sell one to my sister. You can set whatever conditions you want. I'll promise you anything~"
Qin put down the tableware, suddenly walked over, leaned forward, almost pressed against Duke's chest, and spoke a little charmingly.
"...Can you, can you speak properly?"
Duke had goosebumps.
boom!
Qin punched the bed board.
"Sell me one, and the price will definitely not disappoint you!"
"Ahem, I will consider it. When I go back, if I sell it, you will be the first one."
"That's pretty much it."
Qin withdrew his fist, and Duke looked at the slight dent in the bed board and twitched the corner of his mouth. He felt that Qin still looked like this, looking more normal, although it was also scary.
But having said that, Qin can definitely be called a gentleman.
Duke has also lived in the City of Dawn for a certain period of time, and he knows most of the traits, especially for people like this who have been living in the wilderness all year round and have their heads stuck in their belts.
If it were someone else, he would definitely monopolize the goods. Whether Duke can return to the city or not is a question.
But Qin didn't. On the contrary, she had a clear distinction with Duke and didn't want to take advantage of Duke at all.
For a principled person like Qin, I can only say very few if not none.
Duke met a teammate like Qin when he came to the wilderness for the first time, which was considered a blessing.
In addition to the medical cabin, Duke also emphatically talked about weapons and other things to Qin. After all, there were three small nuclear warheads in the convoy.
Qin had heard of the term nuclear bomb, but she didn't have much idea about it. She only knew that it was a powerful bomb.
It's hard for Duke to explain, after all, he hasn't really seen it before. He just told Qin that this thing can be used as a special move.
However, Duke still has to study with No. 2 how to use it specifically, otherwise he will become a Muggle if it blows up.
Of course, Duke hopes never to use it.
In addition to these three nuclear warheads, the most conspicuous weapons and equipment are the small buckler and the big sword.
Alger had used the small round shield, and everyone had seen it and knew that it had strong defensive power.
Everyone has also seen the power of this big sword, and everyone is shocked.
But compared to others, Qin felt the deepest. After all, besides Duke, she was the only one who had used this sword.
This sword made Qin's sword much lighter, just like holding a branch, but when she swung it out, the sword became heavier and heavier, to the point where she couldn't control it even with her strength.
Moreover, this sword contains a special energy that can be stimulated with every heavy blow.
For example, Duke smashed a big hole in the weapons and equipment room before, and Qin Yijian blew up the boulder blocking the road.
This power is comparable to a grenade.
Moreover, Qin knew that she had not fully utilized the power of this big sword. After all, she had just come into contact with it and was not familiar with many places.
If she was given some more time, she believed that she would make the name of this sword resound throughout the City of Dawn.
But unfortunately, this sword belongs to Duke.
"Here, give me back your sword."
With a look of reluctance on her face, Qin handed the sci-fi sword to Duke.
She really liked this sword, but she also understood that this weapon was unique and a normal person would keep it for herself.
Of course, she didn't know that Duke had several similar cold weapons.
Duke took it.
I weighed it in my hand, like a toy.
"You like it very much?"
Duke suddenly asked.
Qin didn't want to answer, but looking at the sword, he finally nodded honestly.
"Um."
"How much do you think this sword is worth?"
Duke asked again.
"You want to sell?"
Qin's eyes lit up.
If Duke wants to sell it, she has to win it no matter how hard she tries!
But Duke shook his head.
"I'm not selling it. I just want to know how much this sword is worth."
"……have no idea!"
Qin glared at Duke, paused and said with emotion.
"This is a unique weapon. At least I have never seen it before. In the eyes of those who like it, it may be a priceless treasure."
Duke glanced at Qin.
People who like it?
Duke made a show of swordsmanship with his big sword, and then handed it to Qin.
"Are you..." Qin's eyes lit up, "You want to give it to me?"
"...It's a beautiful thought."
Duke rolled his eyes at Qin angrily, and then said:
"I thought about it, I have no use for this sword, and it would be a waste to leave it there. Since you use a big sword, I might as well sell it to you! Didn't you say that this is a priceless treasure to you?
You can give me anything, like tens of millions of dollars or something, it’s not bad money for you anyway…”
"..."
Tens of millions, small money?
Qin is rich, and her family is also rich, but tens of millions are not necessarily something she can afford.
Moreover, how many millions does a sword sell for?
I really thought she was a fool.
"I do not want it."
"Ah? No! Then I can make it cheaper? A few million is enough!"
Duke immediately knew that the price had been raised, and he just said it casually.
Qin still didn't speak.
Although Qin likes this sword very much, rationally speaking, the value of this sword is at most higher than that of the Earth Overlord, about one million Dawn coins.
She is rich, but with so many people under her, it is impossible to patronize her. It is definitely not possible to fight alone. Having so much money is enough to greatly improve the overall strength of her team.
Seeing that Qin hadn't spoken a word, Duke suddenly thought for a moment and said:
"How about this? I'll give you this sword, and you'll have to do me three favors later."
"Huh? What's the deal?"
When she heard that it was going to be given to her, Qin frowned.
"I haven't thought about the details yet, but I won't hide it from you. It may be life-threatening for you..."
Since Duke found out about his life experience, he has become worried about the Elvis family, and conflicts may break out in the future.
If he can build a good relationship with Qin, he might be able to find a way out. This can be considered an investment by Duke.
Of course, since it was an investment, it might fail. After all, he couldn't guarantee that Qin's approach to him really had no purpose.
This is considered a small bet by Duke. If he wins, he will make a profit, and if he loses, he will not lose.
After forcing himself to stop losing money, Duke urged:
"Can you just say it?"
Qin struggled for a moment, but the temptation of the big sword was too great. She finally gritted her teeth and said:
“It’s a deal!”
…
The next day, at dawn, the Overlord left the village with his convoy.
Originally, Qin planned to stay in the wilderness for at least half a month, but the plan could not keep up with the change. Who knew that in just a few days, more than ten trucks would be full.
Moreover, Qin also learned through the city defense army that strong radiation began to appear in the ruins again. Duke's guess was correct, and the ruins could no longer be mined at all.
Then of course there is no need to stay here anymore.
"Finally going home!"
Duke felt a little emotional.
Although he didn't stay in the wilderness for long this time, so many things happened that he felt like his days were like years.
Before, he still disliked the City of Dawn, but now he just wants to say that the city is better.
Everything went smoothly on the way back to the city. Before noon, I saw the big transparent cover.
Number 2 told Duke that the sky defense system could isolate his biological signal, which was why the satellite had not detected Duke before.
Before entering the city, you must first register, then disinfect and isolate, and wait until the equipment determines that there is no threat before you can officially enter the city.
There is a dedicated isolation room here, of course, at your own expense.
However, during the disinfection and isolation period, something happened to Duke.
"Ah? I can already enter the city? I don't have to wait three days?"
"Yes, Mr. Duke, you have passed the system test and can enter the city."
A city defense soldier said politely.
"OK."
Duke waved his hand to the confused Qin in the next room, and then walked out of the isolation area with some confusion.
"No. 2, did you do this?"
Chapter completed!
