"That's Pingan Street!" Li Wang, the captain of AS Order, stood next to Jiang Chen and pointed to the wall in the distance. He grinned. "The most prosperous place in Shangjing. The building in the middle is the legendary Pan-Asia Cooperation Building, the political center of the Pan-Asia Cooperation in history, and now it is the political center of the survivors in Shangjing. "
Li Wang used to be the captain of Jiang Chen's guards and was named Captain of AS Order during the expedition to Hongcheng. Accompanying Jiang Chen on this expedition, he was in high spirits.
"The most prosperous place?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and laughed. "Why do I feel like it's like a village?"
Li Wang laughed. "Of course, you can't compare it to our Sixth Street. From the standards of the survivors in this area, clean streets, stable order, and shops that accept crystals, these three things can already be called heaven! At least within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, you can't find a more prosperous place than this. "
In fact, Jiang Chen's statement was still a bit exaggerated.
In any case, this place didn't match the countryside.
The towering concrete walls blocked all mutants and zombies. The streets were scattered with shops and houses. It wasn't prosperous, but it was full of vitality. Hunters carrying prey went to the shops to exchange the prey for necessities or crystals. Mercenaries with rifles were bargaining with merchants, and lone travelers were examining the rifles in the window of the weapon shop.
In the corner of Pingan Street, a few chimneys spewed out gray smoke. The furnace smelted the waste into metal and sent it to the processing plant to be made into weapons or mechanical parts. It should be the legendary Pingan Street Industrial Zone. Compared to the Sixth Street four years ago, the scale of industrialization here was probably twice as large.
If Jiang Chen hadn't seen the "prosperity" of the Sixth Street, he would have marveled at the existence of such a "pure land" on the wasteland.
"It's indeed Shangjing, but it's a pity that they held the rich heritage of the pre-war civilization, but they didn't think about doing anything."
"In theory, there will always be a more reasonable choice." Han Junhua walked next to Jiang Chen and looked straight at the decaying Pan-Asia Cooperation Building. "However, civilization itself is a product of irrationality. Just like this building. Thirty years ago, who would have thought that in just thirty years, this place would deteriorate to the point where there wouldn't even be a cleaner? "
Jiang Chen paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Han Junhua, and smiled.
"I didn't expect you to say something so interesting."
"Why can't I?"
"No, I was just a little surprised."
As the airship flew closer, the outline of Pingan Street gradually became clear. Everything in the entire survivor settlement was seen by Jiang Chen. The people in the survivor settlement all looked at the behemoth high above with fear and anxiety.
A sentry on the concrete wall overcame the fear in his heart and was about to aim the anti-aircraft machine gun into the air when the veteran behind him slapped him on the head and shouted, "Are you stupid? This thing can shoot that thing down? Hurry up and report to your father! Go! "
Just as the sentinel ran to report, the survivors of the entire Pingan Street looked at the steel airship that emerged from the clouds as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The expected alarm did not sound, and the sentry quickly ran back. The 3,000 defenders of Pingan Street received orders that it was not an enemy, but NAC reinforcements!
The soldiers on the city wall heaved a sigh of relief.
In just three minutes, many people's palms were already sweating.
Just looking at the ferocious barrel under the steel airship, they couldn't muster the courage to resist.
Even if the giant wall could block thousands of mutants, in front of an electromagnetic pulse cannon of this level, it would not be able to withstand one shot.
Soon, the senior executives of the Shangjing Survivors Alliance walked out of the Pan-Asia Cooperation Building one after another, arrived at the entrance of Pingan Street by car, and took the elevator to the tower on the giant wall. Next to a radio station, Ding Liwei took the walkie-talkie from an officer, looked at the airship in the sky, and cleared his throat.
"I'm Ding Liwei, the representative of the Shangjing Survivors Alliance, the head of the Second Militia Corps. On behalf of all the survivors of Shangjing, I thank you for coming. "
The radio station was silent for a long time.
After a series of static noises, Jiang Chen's voice sounded on the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"Jiang Chen, NAC General. Let's skip the pleasantries and make room for our people. "
There was no hint of consultation.
Or rather, no courtesy.
With ten transport airships, AS Order descended and flew over Pingan Street. Its shadow shrouded the entire survivor settlement. The survivors stopped and looked up at the sky. They stared blankly at the behemoth passing over their heads, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
AS Order stopped outside the northern wall of Pingan Street and lowered the pods in its belly.
A platform full of supply boxes, tied by four graphene cables, slowly landed on the ground. Immediately afterward, soldiers in kinetic skeletons hooked the graphene cables and quickly lowered them to the ground one by one.
In less than a minute, AS Order deployed two hundred engineers on the ground.
"Don't these savages know how to clean their own homes?" Looking at the zombies wandering on the street and the predators crawling behind the half-collapsed apartment buildings, Li Wang stepped on the guardrail next to the deck and grinned.
"Since we are allies, let's help them a little," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, sir!" Li Wang withdrew his boots from the guardrail and saluted.
When the zombies smelled the scent of the living, they staggered and began to gather under AS Order. Just when the garrison on Pingan Street was hesitant to open the door and send people out to bring back their allies, AS Order moved.
Two quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns turned their muzzles and aimed at the zombies that were gathering from afar. Without the slightest warning, the two machine guns spat out half-meter-long flames in an instant.
"Woo —"
There was only a short whine, and the gravel from the explosion lifted up the entire street.
Bullets rained down from above, tearing apart the zombies that had gathered on the ground. As for the Mutants that were hiding in the shadows, after witnessing such terrifying firepower, they withdrew the murderous glint in their eyes and fled with their tails between their legs.
The NAC soldiers set up their rifles and fired a few shots into the dusty street, killing the zombies that managed to escape the disaster.
Standing on the deck of AS Order and overlooking the scene, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
"Do you think they can see this place from Badaling's position?"
Li Wang, who was standing next to Jiang Chen, grinned as he touched the stubble on his chin. "It's only 50 kilometers from the Second Ring Road to Badaling. We're flying in the sky, it would be strange if they can't see us."
"Haha, I don't know how they will feel after seeing our steel airship."
Li Wang laughed. "What else can they think? Maybe they'll run away with their tails between their legs."
"That's hard to say."
