Chapter 291: The Recoil-Free Turret

Could there also be long-range weapons for the RV?

Jing Shu raised an eyebrow, surveying the large exhibition hall. Each item was displayed like a museum piece on shelves for visitors to observe. There weren’t many—about twenty or so.

The items had no obvious category or connection. Jing Shu noticed luxury cars, a modular house, and most surprisingly, a helicopter. Various other items of different sizes were there. The busiest spot was near a display case where people gathered curiously.

If these items had to be categorized, it would be: valuable.

Before inspecting the item Qian Duoduo was giving her, Jing Shu saw a plaque that read: “Gift to Jing Shu.”

Jing Shu guessed that everything in this exhibition hall was a gift from Qian Duoduo… truly extravagant.

The butler first handed the “Deadly Electric Net” from his mouth to Jing Shu and Su Mary, then said, “Do you know what material this is made of?”

Jing Shu shook her head. The net felt cold and heavy like ordinary metal. She pulled it hard, and the small palm-sized corner instantly expanded into a large dense mesh. She tugged again—it was sturdy.

“Isn’t this thin stuff easy to cut open?” Su Mary stuck out her tongue.

The butler delicately unbuttoned his black suit and demonstrated, “The material is an alloy, normally uncuttable and unbreakable. It’s called memory metal, aerospace-grade. We added the most conductive silver. It bends a lot and is highly plastic, so it can deform without breaking.”

“It can be bent back and forth ten million times and still recover. Even with daily use, it’s estimated to last beyond the apocalypse.”

This material was extraordinary—definitely more advanced than fishing nets.

Jing Shu’s mouth dropped. She knew ordinary wire mesh would break after a few bends. Her home had stainless steel mesh, but it couldn’t be shaped and would break after bending. She hadn’t expected memory metal to be so powerful.

The butler cleared his throat, raising his pinky again to continue. Jing Shu ignored his flamboyance; she was serious about apocalypse safety.

“After installing the Deadly Electric Net program on your RV’s roof, the central control can heat and expand it within three seconds into a huge, seamless dense net covering the RV. Within one second, the entire net electrifies. You can control the voltage to ensure safety inside the net.”

Su Mary awkwardly interrupted, “Won’t the net shock people inside the RV when it’s activated?”

“No. We’ve measured the RV’s dimensions. The net deforms according to its memory with less than 0.1 cm deviation. Just ensure no one is near the RV when activated. The memory mode requires specific temperatures, so don’t pull it by hand.”

“It has defense, attack, and capture modes. Mr. Qian considered that the RV would be used in emergencies—natural disasters or man-made crises.”

“Natural disasters are manageable, but if poisonous or lurking creatures approach, this dense electric net is essential.”

“At night, when the RV is resting, if dense poisonous snakes or fast, agile pack animals appear, the Deadly Electric Net provides excellent defense, preventing poisonous creatures from entering and giving early warning.”

Jing Shu nodded. Snakes wouldn’t appear anymore, but whether poisonous or not, if they did, they’d end up in the pot. But many decayed evolved creatures existed, and gunfire would attract more. The electric net was indeed a good defense.

“Furthermore, Mr. Qian worried that your luxurious RV might attract desperate thieves or vandals at night. Since the apocalypse, he’s been robbed daily—these are his experiences.”

Jing Shu gave a thumbs-up. “I really like this net. The material is rare, and I’m satisfied with its function.”

Su Mary nodded in agreement. “There are many bad people now. You have all the RV functions but lack self-defense.”

Jing Shu realized Qian Duoduo’s concern was human threats. She thought that by then, most desperate thieves would be dead, and with everyone starving, who’d have the energy to rob her? Plus, the RV was tall and hard to rob.

But as Qian Duoduo said, you can’t be too careful. If someone sneaks in at night to cause trouble, whether successful or not, it’s a headache for her.

“After installation, someone will accompany you. Now, let’s move to the next surprise. This way, please.”

After speaking, Su Mary’s four bodyguards came over, professional and ignoring the conversation.

The butler led them to the most crowded area. Jing Shu suddenly felt uneasy. Were these people looking at one of Qian Duoduo’s surprises?

Looking closer, it was just an illusion. There were more bodyguards than people around.

When Jing Shu arrived, six or seven people were discussing the display case.

The butler smiled wider, saying, “Actually, it’s nothing special. Why so many people? It’s just a 1,000-kilometer range, 84mm caliber, recoil-free vehicle-mounted turret.”

Jing Shu swallowed hard. In her past life, she never saw a handgun in ten years of apocalypse survival. She had been at society’s bottom like an ant. Now, she would even have a turret!

So she had both close-range and long-range weapons!

Was her life getting too lucky?

“This… is a bit valuable,” Jing Shu coughed, staring at the plaque: “Gift to Jing Shu.”

The key was that Qian Duoduo was blatantly giving her a turret. Was that okay? Would she get caught?

Seeing Jing Shu’s worry, the butler smiled, raising his pinky. “Citizens owning weapons need licenses and approvals like in the U.S. Mr. Qian has handled all the paperwork for you. Rest assured.”

“Well, then I guess there’s no reason to refuse.”

Su Mary’s eyes sparkled. “Wow, Qian Duoduo really spent big. But Jing Shu, you better ask for lots of ammo too.”
