Chapter 36 Terminal

Duke opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly.

Rumble~

The sound of an engine roaring could be heard outside.

"My things are here."

Qin's eyes lit up and she walked out first. Duke breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed closely with Alyssa.

"This is……"

Looking at the huge and ferocious tracked chariot on the street outside, Duke was a little shocked.

This car looks like it should be seven or eight meters long and over two meters high. It was converted from a box truck. The front wheels are thick bulletproof off-road tires, and the rear wheels are replaced with crawler tracks.

The outside of the car is covered with a thick layer of steel plates and barbs. There is a huge shovel on the front of the car. The windows are also covered with barbed wire. The overall look is rusty and has a strong smell of apocalyptic wasteland.

The cab door opened, and a woman with short red and green hair and wearing military tactical armor got out of the car:

"Boss!"

"Um."

Jean nodded, then pointed to the car and Beth and said to Duke.

"This is my best friend in the wilderness, Groundhog. She's my driver, Beth."

Beth nodded towards Duke. She looked at Duke curiously. In her impression, she had never seen Qin be so polite to that man.

"This car seems to be very powerful..."

Although Duke didn't know what functions this car had, it looked very unusual just from the appearance.

"That's natural."

Qin's tone was calm, but there was a trace of contentment in her eyes.

In the wilderness, no matter how strong you are, you will encounter troubles that you can't solve. When encountering such a situation, just one word - run!

No matter how fast you run on two legs, it can't beat a car. After all, a car is long-lasting and doesn't worry about getting tired.

So it is important to have a good car.

"sharp!"

Duke wanted to go up and visit, but Jean didn't invite him, so he didn't mention it.

After Qin went up, he soon brought down several large boxes.

"Get it for me."

Duke took it, his hands sank, and he called Scar and the others to come over, take the things into the house, and put them on the first floor.

Qin opened several of the boxes. Duke thought they were luggage or something, but he didn't expect them to be something like a computer.

Putting these things in the innermost room on the first floor, Beth quickly assembled them and connected them to electricity. Several curved screens began to glow green, looking like Duke's impression.

Game consoles are like radio stations in movies and TV shows, because they have several long antennas on them.

"This is a terminal, used to communicate with the outside world."

As if seeing the confusion in Duke's eyes, Qin opened her mouth to explain.

Duke was stunned.

In the City of Dawn, although there are telephones, there is no such thing as a mobile phone. You can contact someone by phone within the city, but if you go out of the city, there is no way to contact you.

The terminal should use technology such as radio.

After assembling it, Beth put on a big headset and typed on a keyboard that Duke couldn't understand.

Some words and some geometric figures appear on the screen.

"Do you have a portable PC?"

Qin suddenly asked.

"Is there...?"

Duke looked at Alyssa.

"Master, I'll get it."

Alyssa went upstairs and soon brought out a huge, portable personal computer that looked like a mechanical skeleton.

This thing was given to Duke by the Elvis family when he left it, and it is considered a standard item for every direct descendant.

But it was said to be portable, but it was too big. Duke was not used to wearing it on his hand, and it had no entertainment function, so Duke kept it at home and ignored it.

"This is a must-have for walking in the wilderness."

Qin could tell at a glance that Duke was not interested in this thing, and immediately gave him a reminder.

She turned on her laptop and started working on it. Duke saw the name "Qin" in the contacts column.

It feels a bit like a mobile phone.

However, portable computers cannot send signals directly, they need an intermediary, and there are no satellites now, so they need a terminal.

The communication range of a portable computer is related to the terminal. The greater the power of the terminal, the longer the communication distance, and it cannot leave the signal range of the terminal, otherwise it will become a stand-alone computer.

In Duke's opinion, this thing is really troublesome. It is said to be portable, but you have to bring a backup team with you.

But there is no other way. In the absence of satellites, this is already a very good solution.

For example, those who go to the wilderness alone will usually be affiliated with some organizations and borrow their terminals. Otherwise, they will be like a blind man in the wilderness, and the danger will be increased by several levels.

"If anyone bullies you, just send me a message directly. I will protect you from now on!"

Qin patted Duke on the shoulder and almost slapped Duke on the ground.

Duke felt that Jean must have done it on purpose.

But looking at the other person's smiling face, he could only show a somewhat stiff smile.

"……good."

"By the way, you and Beth learn how to operate the terminal."

Qin said as if she remembered something.

"good."

Duke did not refuse, he was still somewhat interested in these "high technologies".

It is not difficult to operate the terminal, but the logic is a little complicated, unlike pre-war computers, which simplified the operation steps.

But this is not a problem for Duke. As long as he understands the logic, he will be able to get started quickly.

"very good!"

Seeing how quickly Duke got started, Qin nodded with satisfaction.

"I'm going out on a date in a few days. Please help me operate the terminal."

"..."

What a date!

Duke's face froze. If he hadn't been unable to fight, he would have resisted long ago.

Bess next to her opened her eyes wide.

The boss actually wants to go on a date with a man!

This is the sun rising from the west!

Beth remembered that those men who dared to express their love to the boss were either punched away or stunned with a sword. How could this Duke win the favor of the boss?

She looked at Duke with a faint look of reverence.

Awesome!

Duke naturally had troubles that he couldn't tell. He was living a good life in the city, so he didn't want to go to some wilderness!

At noon, Alyssa made a hearty lunch.

Qin ate like a lady, but very quickly. Duke had just nibbled on a big chicken drumstick, and Qin had already finished two bowls of rice.

Beth is about the same as Jean.

The leopard can be seen through the tube, and Duke can feel the danger in the wilderness through this detail.

This made him feel even more miserable.

After lunch, Qin brought her luggage, sword, etc., and she occupied the room opposite Duke on the third floor. Duke naturally did not dare to say anything.

As for Beth, she did not live in the house. She drove the Deebot to the backyard of Building 4, and she had to live in the Deebot at night.

In the absence of a professional garage, Dibawang still needs to do a good job of protection, otherwise it will be very troublesome if it is stolen.

Although he is now in the city, he can tell at a glance that this place is not something that ordinary people can possess, but there is no shortage of such adventurous people in the world.

"Master, Ms. Casey is here."
