"I'm finally going home."
Standing on the steel deck of the Order, looking at the sun rising from the edge of the wasteland, Jiang Chen felt a sense of joy in his heart.
It took two and a half months to go, and the expedition, which was originally planned to return within a month at most, was postponed to September due to various troublesome issues. Of course, the rewards of the expedition are also very gratifying. According to the evaluation of analysts at Sixth Street Bank, the contribution of this expedition to the economic growth of the entire NAC is at least five million credit points.
But at this moment, he didn't want to worry about the gains and losses, he just wanted to quietly look at such beautiful scenery.
"The weather is good today," Sun Xiaorou walked behind her and gently pushed her wind-blown hair behind her ears. "There is no radioactive dust, only pure blue and white... This is the original color of the sky."
The rolling white clouds are like newly picked cotton, and the rolls are like waves, embracing each other like mountains. The Order sailing here is just like a small boat.
Against this blue sky, below the steel airship are the ruins of broken houses, broken highway bridges, tall buildings covered with green branches, and the few fires...
"Approximately how much territory does our territory have?" Jiang Chen suddenly said while standing on the edge of the airship and looking down.
"From the Sixth District to the Hongcheng Federation, the area under control is about 110,000 square kilometers." Sun Xiaorou said softly.
Because she often helps her sister handle government affairs, Sun Xiaorou is somewhat familiar with these data. NAC checkpoints can be seen everywhere in Suzhou and Hangzhou Province, and NAC outposts have also been established in some areas outside Suzhou and Hangzhou Province to provide supplies to passing caravans and provide shelter for survivors in the management area.
On the contrary, Jiang Chen, the hands-off boss, didn't even know how vast the territory he had conquered was.
"Is that all?" Jiang Chen smacked his lips.
It has been almost two years. Not to mention the entire Pan-Asian region, even the Chinese region only accounts for one percent of the territory.
Hearing that greedy speech, Sun Xiaorou rolled her eyes at him, pursed her lips and smiled.
"It's already pretty good, okay? Even among these 110,000 square kilometers of land, the development level is less than 10,000 square kilometers. Most of them are inhabited by alien species and zombies. Construction is far more difficult than invasion. "
"That's true..." Jiang Chen sighed.
Population is always the chain that restricts the development of NAC. No matter how large the territory is, it will be useless if there are not enough people to expand it.
But if the power of the two worlds cannot be integrated, when faced with the invasion of the harmonious camp. He really didn't have much chance of winning. A hundred years means a lifetime to ordinary people, and it means the whole world. However, for the entire civilization, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye.
Taking out the thumb-sized glass bottle, Jiang Chen held it between his fingertips and examined it.
The orange-red serum exudes a strange brilliance in the sunlight. This biological code is enough to make all those in power take a look, but it is like poison...
Walking behind Jiang Chen, Sun Xiaorou whispered in his ear.
"Don't be too impatient."
"What are you anxious about?"
"Of course it's about your hometown."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled sarcastically, raised his hand and rubbed Sun Xiaorou's head.
"You are like a roundworm in my belly."
"Don't touch a girl's head casually." Xiaorou said with a smile, and gently covered Jiang Chen's big hand with her hand, but did not take away the warmth.
"Sorry... By the way, you can't be considered a child anymore." Jiang Chen laughed and said.
"... Ten points will be deducted for what I said just now." Xiaorou reached out angrily and pinched his waist, then turned and walked into the airship.
Jiang Chen grinned and looked at her leaving figure. Then he turned his attention to the ground.
On the other side of the Taipu River winding down from Dianshan Lake is a giant round egg. The translucent graphene network reflects rainbow-like colors under the midday sun. Groups of construction vehicles were scattered across the wasteland, working with thousands of workers to build this century-old project.
There is the Garden of Eden.
The steel airship flew over the Garden of Eden and arrived in Songjiang District of Wanghai City. Under the guidance of the navigation radar, it dropped in altitude and approached the airship port in the sixth neighborhood. The soldiers and civilians in the camp looked at these "steel behemoths" who had returned from the expedition with admiration and cheered warmly.
The reason why we chose to dock at the airship port in the sixth neighborhood. The main purpose is to show the powerful force of NAC to the people of NAC and the homeless people who pass by here. Whether the military strength is strong and the security environment is stable are often the main criteria for wandering survivors to choose settlements.
to the cheers of civilians. Jiang Chen, who was wearing power armor, led more than a thousand expeditionary soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons, walking through the main street of the 6th neighborhood and towards the square in front of the inner circle parliament building.
The welcoming people lined the aisles holding flowers and scattering the delicate petals.
The dark polyethylene armor is bathed in flower petals and applause. All the soldiers straightened their backs and showed pride on their faces.
Due to Jiang Chen's deliberate actions, the team walked very slowly.
These young men have been away from home for more than two months, fighting bloody battles for NAC in a foreign land. They deserve the glory they have now as a reward for their hard work. Many enthusiastic single girls not only presented bouquets of flowers, but also gave hugs to these warriors.
It is human nature to worship heroes.
A cute little girl stopped in front of Jiang Chen. While hugging the steel armor, she suddenly stood up on tiptoes and gave him a kiss in front of everyone's attention.
Jiang Chen wasn't sure if this was her first kiss, because the little girl lowered her head in an instant and fled into the crowd like a shy deer. Facing the cheers of the crowd around him, Jiang Chen only hesitated for half a second, then smiled heartily, raised the flowers in his hand, and waved to his people.
Heroes and beauties are eternal topics.
There was a brief pause because of the commotion, but the procession continued forward.
Half a step behind Jiang Chen, Lu Ze whispered in his ear.
"Judging from her expression, she should be a newcomer who has just left the shelter. If the marshal is interested, I can find her name for you."
Because he was not sure about Jiang Chen's feelings for the girl, Lu Ze was careful not to use the slightly derogatory term "blue skin".
"No."
Recalling the innocence shining in his eyes, Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head, then inserted the dew-stained flowers into the nylon buckle of the steel armor.
Lu Ze glanced at Jiang Chen's back with a strange expression.
The sun is really out in the west, and the marshal actually changed to a vegetarian diet? (.)
