The petty thoughts among those strange women naturally have nothing to do with Jiang Chen.
After catching a taxi, he went straight back to the Seven Days Inn.
Ayesha was studying Chinese assiduously. After seeing Jiang Chen come back, a slightly shy smile appeared on his originally indifferent face.
She almost looks like a newlywed wife.
However, this smile was really unbearable for him, because the feeling of guilt was so overwhelming!
Although Jiang Chen hasn't married her yet, he always feels like a cheating husband who comes home to a gentle and considerate wife.
... ...How about restraining yourself a little more in the future? There seemed to be a little too much on the plate.
He smiled in a panic, and then he took Ayesha with him to a nearby restaurant and had a hearty dinner without pork. He still had a very fond impression of this helpless girl. No matter what he said, he also had the crooked idea of taking care of his body after taking good care of it.
Yes, there is.
But it's not a problem to indulge in Wenrou Township all day long. He hasn't been back to the apocalypse for a while, so he is worried.
A night of silence.
When they came together the next morning, Jiang Chen watched Ayesha carry her bag to the language class and leave a few red tickets and a note on the table saying "If I don't come back, you don't have to wait for me to eat." , then left the hotel, found a corner where there were no people and cameras, and traveled back to the apocalypse.

"You're finally back. Which girl did you sleep with last night?" Sun Jiao crossed her arms with a half-smile and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled sheepishly, quietly changed the subject, and began to ask about the status of the base construction.
Although Sun Jiao is very delicate and naughty, she can still distinguish priorities. Taking a deep breath and putting irrelevant questions and complaints behind her, Sun Jiao began to tell Jiang Chen about the current situation of the base.
First, it is the construction of infrastructure.
The base wall has been successfully advanced 200 meters toward the sewer entrance, opening up an open space about the size of two football fields (about 20 acres). The half-destroyed wooden villas in the middle were all bulldozed by the survivors, but the foundations underneath them could be used directly. As for the electrical appliances and furniture in those small villas, they were moved to the open space. If it can be repaired, use it; if it cannot be repaired, break it into parts and use it.
The chief architect of the base, Lu Huasheng, commanded several construction teams and rebuilt four more recommended dormitory buildings on the existing foundations. This simple dormitory building with a three-story structure can accommodate 30 residents each. As for why four buildings were built, it was naturally under Jiang Chen's instruction to prepare for recruiting people in the future.
One of them has been basically completed and occupied, and the remaining three are under construction.
In addition, three-story hardened concrete towers were built at the four corners of the site. That is, two in the backyard of the villa and two in front of the newly developed land. A light machine gun was set up on the watchtower, and the outside was simply covered with a layer of camouflage netting. A person was placed in each tower to stand guard.
Due to its remote location, the danger of zombies is not high. Only after walking for more than ten kilometers in the direction of the sixth block and entering the city will more difficult alien species appear. Therefore, the only objects that the Fish Bone Survivor Base needs to guard against at present are other Survivors with ulterior motives. But most survivors will just walk around when they see walls and machine guns.
After two months, the sentry machine gun should be replaced here. Jiang Chen has already placed an order with Zhao Chenwu's military factory. Four sentry machine guns, each priced at 3,000 sub-crystals, can be laser-guided for shooting and can automatically identify heat source signals. This kind of purely handmade high-tech gadgets are generally relatively expensive, and the output is extremely low. After all, some parts can only be modified through scrap recycling or other parts.
In addition to these defense equipment, Lu Huasheng also built a simple community center in the middle of the newly expanded area in accordance with Jiang Chen's instructions.
At present, the main function of this community center is just to serve as a canteen and conference room. Currently, only one floor has been built, and the plan is to build it three stories high.
Thank God, Wanghai City's fully automated water treatment device means that the base does not have to worry about drinking water. Water pipes made of polyethylene materials can be easily connected to the city's water supply system. As long as there is no accident of large amounts of water leakage, this section of the water supply line will not be shut down by the intelligent program of the water treatment plant.
As for electricity, the electricians among the survivors not only improved the simple solar power panels set up by Sun Jiao, but also doubled the number of power generation panels on the top of the building. Now the power generation capacity in the base has reached 30Kh.
If you use it sparingly, these 30Kh will be enough to meet the base's electricity needs for a day. The excess electricity is stored in a K1-type concentrated energy battery the size of an oil drum for use by the warehouse's refrigeration equipment at night.
On the other hand, due to the huge amount of supplies Jiang Chen brought last time, Sun Jiao instructed Lu Huasheng to build two larger granaries in the backyard of the villa.
The granary is built according to the composite structure. The upper part stores non-perishable food, and a storage space is dug out underground and surrounded by insulation boards to store food with a relatively low shelf life. There is a refrigeration device obtained from the trade with the Zhao Group in early August. Now when you go into the underground granary to get food, you have to wear a thick cotton jacket. The entire basement is as cold as a big freezer. These two granaries are also large power consumers of the base. Basically, most of the power resources are allocated to maintaining the operation of the refrigeration device.
"How is the trade with the Zhao Group going?" After listening to Sun Jiao's report and pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen asked the question he was most concerned about.
"The trade volume in early August reached 100,000 subcrystal points, which was basically the same as the previous trade volume. The materials exchanged were basically in short supply for base construction, such as refrigeration devices, energy-gathering batteries and other application equipment, as well as arms supplies. There are special cement raw materials, steel and other building materials, and the trade surplus is 2310 Yajing." Sun Jiao took out a tablet, used her fingers to bring up the ledger, and said to Jiang Chen professionally.
Unexpectedly, this girl was quite suitable to be a housekeeper. Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips. He originally thought that this savage woman could only fight and kill, but he didn't expect that she had such a careful side.
Yes, what he needs is capable people, and capable people.
"Yes, there is no need to save money in the construction of the base. Only by spending as much as possible can Yajing maximize its value. At this stage, our base cannot use high-end energy like Yajing. We are still in the basic stage of construction. What we need more is Those production equipment, construction materials, and life-saving weapons!" Jiang Chen nodded in approval.
At least as far as the "setting" is concerned, he, as the agent of the Fish Bone Food Products Company, currently has the establishment of a "supply station" as his top priority. If he didn't buy a lot of these things in the early stage, it would be a bit suspicious to ask Zhao Chenwu to buy building materials in the later stage.
You said that since you are trading with survivor bases outside the province, some things are inconvenient to be transported from the headquarters and need to be purchased locally. Everyone can understand this. But it doesn’t make sense to just buy some raw materials such as steel and cement and keep building houses and walls here, right
If there really is a company headquartered in another province, you have to send some profits back, right? If I can't find any other excuse, I'm afraid it's really not easy to get over this issue. The ratio of trade surplus has to be gradually increased to create the illusion of "transmitting trade proceeds to the company headquarters." The "covenant" between him and Zhao Chenwu was originally based on lies, so how to continue to complete this lie is very critical.
After hearing Jiang Chen's praise, Sun Jiao obviously felt better, then she smiled and continued: "On the other hand, the nearby survivor groups noticed us and made tentative contact with us. "
"Survivor group?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"Yes. It is different from the large survivor base in the sixth district that is within the city limits. In the suburbs, because the environmental danger is relatively low and the post-war architectural integrity is high, only a small number of survivors are needed to unite. Carve out a certain living space. There are currently 57 known community-level survivor groups around our base, the smallest of which only have two families, and the larger ones have 20 or 30 families. Of course, this is just a rough count."
"So many?" Jiang Chen looked at the tablet screen in Sun Jiao's hand. The red dots marked on it made his brows furrow deeper.
Survivor groups...
If possible, he would not engage with them at this stage. At least until the base has a certain level of combat effectiveness, it will be very dangerous to come into contact with those people.
There was no other reason. The resources at Jiang Chen's hands were too huge, and he had to be wary of the prying eyes of strangers. In the last days, there is no law to speak of. A piece of bread can lead to the pursuit of the most vicious people, not to mention the tens of tons of food in the base.
Although the Zhao Group would not pay Jiang Chen's attention, that was because he thought this place was just an outpost, and the real food producer was some kind of fish bone grain products company thousands of miles away. If the tycoon Zhao Chenwu really knew that all the food was "conjured" by Jiang Chen, it's hard to say what would happen.
However, those ordinary survivors naturally don't understand the concept of killing a chicken to get the eggs or not. If they knew that there was enough food for them to eat for several years, they would immediately pick up the guys and kill them. Although some survivor groups are usually quite friendly, they occasionally exchange information with neighbors who have good relations with them. But if it comes to survival issues such as food, all disguises will be removed. Without enough strength, the only way is to face plunder.
Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of these survivor groups is only about the same as Jiang Chen and others. They all use ordinary kinetic energy weapons, and none of them have high-end gadgets such as power armor, tanks and cannons, so those who wander over these days are just testing the waters. sexual contact without showing any hostility.
After all, the survivors were also unsure. What was the purpose of this group of people building such a large fortification here
They are also wary of the "strange neighbor" who suddenly appears at their door.
In this regard, Sun Jiao naturally took some countermeasures.
For example, people in the base are strictly prohibited from eating in places other than the canteen, and it is strictly forbidden to light fires in places other than the canteen. The windows in the canteen must be closed when eating, so that possible peepers from outside cannot find any clues that there is a large amount of food in the base. At the same time, Sun Jiao also clearly expressed her refusal to other survivors who requested to enter the base.
How do you contact those people? Everything has to wait until Jiang Chen comes back before making a decision.
