I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World
Chapter Summary
It would be not a surprise if the General launched another conquest of his own, which meant the accompanying captain would be promoted. Regardless of whether or not the newly formed division would be called the Fifth Division or NAC North American Division, it would definitely not be able to come back with General Jiang. ” Jiang Chen took a deep breath, then suddenly stepped forward and kissed Sun Jiao, who was waving her fists with a look of embarrassment.
Chapter 1382: N-100 Power Armor Inside the Sixth Street Inner Circle, in the Near Street Restaurant.
Although it was the property of the Zhao Group, there were rumors that the General himself had a lot of shares in it.
Because the restaurant was in the most prosperous area of Sixth Street, and it always received the freshest ingredients, this restaurant had naturally become the darling of the upper class.
Even survivors in the far south had occasionally heard of its good name.
In this era where even humans were more or less mutated, NAC somehow obtained unmutated prawns and started aquaculture in the radiation-free Garden of Eden.
This type of crystal-clear river prawn was delicious, and it immediately became sought after by the upper class once it was made available, and even became a topic of discussion with the Sixth Street.
But now, a giant plate of the expensive river prawns was placed on the table, sprinkled with chili oil, garlic, and spices, and the attractive fragrance could be smelt from far away.
From this dish alone, it was easy to tell the extraordinary status of these diners.
They were key members of the NAC military government system, capitalists from the Sixth Street or the Hangzhou Merchants Association, or the leaders of the chambers of commerce and merchant traders from other regions.
But these people were obviously very low-key and dined in a private suite.
If they were the new rich from the different colonies or from the South, they would definitely choose the most conspicuous spot of the restaurant to ensure everyone in the restaurant noticed their lavishness.
“Haha, congratulations to Captain Zheng for your promotion!
” “Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Remember to bring back some souvenirs from North America!
” “RIGHT!
I heard that the mud crab roe there are white, just like the breasts of the blondes there.
” “No blondes okay?
Don’t be so vulgar!
Remember that General told us last time?
You need to be more educated and civilized!
Can’t you just say as white as milk...
burp...
” “Hahaha, captain, who do you think is more educated?
” The suite was full of joy and chatter.
A few burly men sat around the table, grinning and joking, as they took turns toasting the boss who was sitting at the top of the table.
Although their tone was respectful, there was a hint of teasing and joking mixed in.
These jokers were no one else but the guards under Jiang Chen’s command.
The former captain Lu Fan was promoted to the head of the Fourth Division and was now stationed in Shangjing, guarding the northern border of the NAC.
The current captain was the former deputy captain Zheng Shanhe.
The NAC had just gone through a round of army expansion, and there were rumors about the establishment of the Fifth Division.
Based on NAC’s usual tradition, the most likely division commander would come from the General’s Guards.
It was originally something to be happy about, but at this moment, Captain Zheng looked a bit concerned.
Why?
Naturally because of that North American colony!
Although the wind of the expedition had not been let out, it was no secret that NAC was preparing to send troops to North America.
The entire North American colony had lost contact with NAC, and all kinds of bizarre rumors began to spread in the Sixth Street.
It would be not a surprise if the General launched another conquest of his own, which meant the accompanying captain would be promoted.
Regardless of whether or not the newly formed division would be called the Fifth Division or NAC North American Division, it would definitely not be able to come back with General Jiang.
“What congratulations, if anyone of you makes fun of me again, I will personally bring you to the colony.
” Zheng Shanhe’s eyes widened, and the soldiers that were about to toast again immediately pulled back their cups that were in the air, and instead, downed their drinks.
Everyone enjoyed the Sixth Street.
Except for those who couldn’t obtain a footing in the Sixth Street, no one chose to go to the colony.
People wouldn’t even leave if they got promoted!
“Captain Lu can return home every once in a while.
If I go to North America, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back once in a few years.
” After Zheng Shanhe took a swig of the beer, he let out a sigh, felt the coldness that slid down his throat, and said.
Although he complained, he didn’t feel any dissatisfaction.
But whenever he thought of his newly married wife, he felt depressed.
“Captain rest assured,” a subordinate stood up, raised his glass, and said solemnly, “You, like Captain Li and Captain Lu, will always be our captain!
When you are away, the brothers will help you take care of your family.
” “That’s right!
We are here!
” “Who dares to bother my sister-in-law, I will break his legs!
” Several other guards also stood up and raised their glass.
After all, they were all old men that conquered with the General for many years.
Although they loved to joke around, their friendship was impeccable.
“Please and thank you.
” With a sigh, Zheng Shanhe raised his glass.
After a glass of beer, everyone sat down.
Just when Zheng Shanhe was about to say something, the clear reminder sound echoed.
The faint fluorescence flickered on the watch, and the word “Regroup” appeared on the screen.
All the guards in the room were surprised.
They looked at each other, then immediately darted up.
After Zheng Shanghe threw a check on the table, he rushed out the door without looking back at the delicious food on the table.
...
“What is this?
” In the backyard of the mansion, Jiang Chen examined from head to toe the power armor in front of him.
From a structural point of view, this power armor was very similar to the X-1 experimental type he retrieved from the underground city of Shangjing.
The incredibly long type-57 portable electromagnetic pulse cannon behind it looked almost identical to the X-1.
“My sisters and I made some modifications on the basis of the X-1 model.
Lilith optimized the calculation logic of the aiming assistance program, and finally completed the unfinished design of the Pan-Asia Cooperation.
Now you can call it the N-100, which is different from the original experimental type,” As Lin Lin explained, the corner of her lips curved up and showed a hint of proudness.
After the T-series power armor was upgraded to T-4, there was no follow-up development plan.
Because for Jiang Chen, the current two mainstream power armors of the NAC and Celestial Trade, the T-3 aviation type and the T-4 land combat type, were already capable in most battlefields.
Rather than investing in a field without any competition, it was better to use scientific research resources in more useful places.
But unexpectedly, Lin Lin and her sisters completed the follow-up design of the X-1 experimental model, which caught Jiang Chen by surprise.
“Why is it called N-100 instead of N-1?
” He touched the head of the power armor, then looked at the code printed on the back, and asked with confusion.
“Because the N-1 is an early power armor enlisted by Pan-Asia Cooperation in the last century.
It was developed by East Asia Heavy Industries.
Later, the N-series was abolished for various reasons and replaced by the standard that has been used until now, that is, the police P-series and military T-series,” Lin Lin shrugged and explained in a casual tone, “In order to avoid duplication or confusion, I simply named this power armor that is unlikely to have an updated model N-100.
As for what letter the X should be replaced with, I am afraid that only those who don’t know how many light-years away will know.
” “Regardless,” Jiang Chen looked at Lin Lin and smiled, “Thank you for doing so much for me.
” He did not just thank her for this power armor.
From the earliest Eden Project, Lin Lin had helped him in many ways.
To be honest, even now he could recall the scene when he scared the little girl into peeing her pants in Fallout Shelter 005.
He could not stop himself from feeling embarrassed.
“You’re welcome,” Lin Lin avoided Jiang Chen’s gaze and looked to the side with her cheeks red.
She forced a cough, then said with a trembling voice, “I heard that North America is very dangerous...
Anyway, you be careful over there.
” “Mhmm.
” Jiang Chen responded with a smile and moved his hand closer to Lin Lin’s head to rub her silver-white hair.
But for some reason, as soon as his hand touched her hair, she blushed and ran away.
When he looked at the girl that ran away, Jiang Chen paused, then awkwardly put his hand down.
When he turned around, Sun Jiao stood at the door of the backyard.
She looked in his direction with mockery in her eyes and playfully whistled at him.
“You’re flirting with another woman in front of me before you leave.
Should I punish you?
” “Let’s talk about it when I come back...
No, we’ll see who punishes who by then!
” Damnit, I got fooled!
After he glared at Sun Jiao for a second, Jiang Chen left in her “provocative” gaze as he threw the power armor into the storage dimension and walked to the exit in the backyard.
“I don’t want to persuade you...
” Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen, who walked to her and gently bit her lower lip.
She reached out to fix his collar and said with unwillingness, “Anyway, if you have to go, be careful over there.
” “I know,” He squeezed her hand, then the sincere expression on his face was suddenly replaced by a smirk, “Wait for me to come back to punish you.
” After he left this sentence, Jiang Chen unexpectedly slapped Sun Jiao’s butt.
The mood was instantly ruined.
In the latter’s humiliated exclaim and a flurry of punches, Jiang Chen laughed and ran to the living room.
When he passed, he did not forget to wave goodbye to Yao Yao and Xiaorou.
“Goodbye, wait for me to come back.
By the way, this is going to be a far trip.
Do you have any souvenirs you want?
” Xiaorou, who sat upright in the living room, looked at the fooling around at the entrance with a grin.
“Just bring yourself back.
” Yao Yao, who was next to her, waved and said in her soft voice.
“You don’t need to bring any souvenirs, just come back safely.
” “You guys really don’t want souvenirs?
Okay, I’ll see then.
” Jiang Chen took a deep breath, then suddenly stepped forward and kissed Sun Jiao, who was waving her fists with a look of embarrassment.
Just as she was processing what had just happened, he had quickly put on his shoes and disappeared out the door...
