Chapter 743
The boss was not one to deny the facts. Everyone who came here was skilled in their own right, and the few machines left were extremely limited. “It’s no exaggeration to say that we’re the only ones with computers in the black market. But if you’re hoping to redeem your watch, you might as well give up on that. The situation outside is clear to everyone, and you’d better count yourself lucky if you have any good fortune”
He patted Matthew on the back and didn’t say much more. Matthew glanced at the computers, sighed, and opened a web page. After several minutes, it was clear that with such a slow connection, not only was attacking impossible, but even chatting would likely get him blocked. To hack into their computer, he needed bener machine performance, Unfortunately, this old piece of junk just couldn’t handle it. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
He immediately went back to the boss. “Is this all the equipment you have? Do you have anything with better performance?”
The bearded bous shrugged. “As you can see, aside from the government troops and the rebels, I’m the only one left with any equipment. What I don’t have, no one else has either”
Hearing this, Matthew frowned deeply. “If I can upgrade your machines, car I use the internet for free?”
He could assemble the machines, but accessing the internet relied on the black market. After all, he wasn’t an internet service provider. These guys had their own methods of operation in chaotic times.
The boss chuckled at Mathew’s proposal. “You can give it a try, but I can’t make any promises. The most I can offer is two hours free.”
“That’s more than enough Matthew agreed immediately and headed out. The boss watched his departing figure and took a swig of beer. “This guy is really something Jus being able to get online in a place like this is impressive!”
He had no idea about Mauhew’s true identity and couldn’t imagine what the young man was planning.
But Matthew knew that as long as he could find the right parts to assemble, he could achieve what he needed, provided there was internet access,
The boss’s machines were so outdated. He would have succeeded already if they were any better.
“Where should 1 and a computer he wondered.
He thought of the bombed–out building. It was full of office spaces. If he could find suitable parts there, there might still be a chance.
So he made his way, carefully avoiding all major checkpoints. He saw armed groups wandering around, but as long as he stayed alert and cautious, he was unlikely to get caught
Besides, he had disguised himself. To most people, he looked like just another local resident of Wakanda
No one would pay him any attention. Everyone was too busy avoiding the crossfire.
Realizing this. Matthew quickened his pace. To his surprise, people were already emerging onto the streets.
The local residents of Wakanda were accustomed to the scenes of intense combat. As soon as one area’s fighting ceased, people would come out because they needed to live their lives.
Even amidst the rubble of explosions, people would occasionally come out to scavenge for daily necessities.
In times of war, civilians were the most affected.
With constant shelling, their lives were in tiken.
Seeing the people around him, Matthew shook his head and quickened his steps back to the previously bombed building.
By the time he arrived, the gangsters had already left. What remained were refugees, occasionally tapping on discarded items to find something of
value to traile.
In the black market, these items could indeed be useful.
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the ruins.
His luck was good. From the beginning, as he left the area, he had already seen several office components. Besides some broken desks and chairs, there were quite a few computer monitors and CPU cases, although most were shattered
He disassembled the CPU cases with practiced case, removing the motherboards.
Nearby, refugees were picking up the leftover scrap metal he had discarded.
Matthew was far from idle. He worked quickly to dismantle and reassemble parts, searching for usable components.
10:12 AM
Fortunately, the office supplies that remained after the building’s collapse included a number of useful items. He was lucky enough to find a new
monitor.
He collected all the remaining parts, keeping his ears open to the refugees discussions and complaints.
From their chatter. Matthew gathered a general idea of the ongoing conflict between the local government and the rebels.
