Two nuclear explosions occurred in a building, and the dilapidated office building finally began to collapse in a burst of dazzling white light.
Jiang Chen rushed to the top floor from the safety passage, put on the backup power armor, and slammed open the wooden door of the office with his shoulder. He saw the pale yellow graviton shield, after blocking the continuous falling tiles, dissipate in the violent tremor.
"Yao Yao!"
"I'm here!" Climbing out from under the desk, the little girl's face was full of panic, but she still bravely crawled toward Jiang Chen.
"Stay there, give me your hand!"
Jiang Chen rushed forward, grabbed Yao Yao's little hand, pulled her up from the ground, and hugged her in his arms.
Before the office was completely crushed by the collapsed cement fragments, Jiang Chen used his shoulder to smash open the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window and jumped out of the office building.
Almost the moment he jumped out of the building, the office building behind him collapsed like an avalanche. In an instant, the office he had just jumped out of was swallowed by the rising dust.
Jiang Chen rolled away from the cement fragments and skillfully started the vortex engine. A faint blue arc ejected from his back, and he glided toward the gathering building.
Jiang Chen left the danger zone and looked back at the spreading dust behind him. He couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's spectacular …"
Her little head popped out from Jiang Chen's arm. Looking at the rolling dust, Yao Yao's face was full of fear.
She didn't dare to imagine what would have happened to them if they were one second late.
"Let's go to the gathering point now." Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from the ruins of the building, looked in the direction of the gathering point, and said softly, "I hope Lu Fan is fine."
…
The gathering point was about five kilometers away from the collapsed office building.
After receiving the map and rendezvous coordinates, everyone entered radio silence to avoid electromagnetic wave tracking and positioning. Apart from the easily deceived life signal detection device, this was the most effective and primary means of positioning.
Only five people arrived at the gathering point alive.
This included Lu Fan, Jiang Chen, and Yao Yao.
Of the seven guards, only three remained. Four of them had completely lost contact and could almost be sentenced to death.
The people of the Second Militia Regiment had no intention of leaving anyone alive. They greeted each other with bullets the moment they met. It was already something to be proud of to be able to survive the encirclement and pursuit of a company of power armor troops …
"I will avenge you."
Jiang Chen looked out the window and was silent for a long time before he sighed.
Although such a promise was insignificant to the dead warrior, since he said it, he would definitely do it.
Other than that, their families would be supported by NAC until their oldest child reached adulthood or the wife remarried.
"Where are our reinforcements?" Lu Fan used a wrench to repair his power armor, then looked back at Jiang Chen with a grin. "They have too many people. If we face them head-on, we have no chance of winning."
Jiang Chen agreed with this statement.
In order to deal with the twenty power armors, he had used up almost all the inventory in his storage dimension.
The electromagnetic cannon could still be used, and there might be two nuclear grenades left, but the drones had been exhausted. There were a lot of crystals, but it was Yao Yao next to him, not Xiaorou. The crystals with a huge amount of energy were no different from stones. As for the food and daily necessities, they could be completely ignored.
"The signal here is not very good, and the reinforcements on the surface can't be contacted for the time being." Jiang Chen looked at the command center icon that showed the communication was disconnected and continued, "If they haven't arrived by now, then something must have happened on the way."
"What's the situation?" Yao Yao asked worriedly.
"Russians," Jiang Chen said emotionlessly. "It's not only the Shangjing Survivors Alliance and us who are looking for the legacy of Pan-Asia Cooperation, but also a group of annoying polar bears."
"Ah, yes." When Yao Yao heard the keyword Pan-Asia Cooperation's legacy, she suddenly seemed to remember something. She took out the tablet from behind and pressed the power button. "When I was obtaining the building's security system, I accidentally found something strange in their database!"
"Something strange?" Jiang Chen looked at Yao Yao and remembered what she said to him in the communication channel. He asked curiously, "What is it?"
"The database of Eden Technology," Yao Yao said with a mysterious look. Her fingers quickly clicked on the tablet and brought up the holographic image. Her little hand gently pushed it in front of Jiang Chen. "From numbers 000 to 973, all experimental projects are included in it."
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Lu Fan was the first to recover, and he hurriedly asked.
"Why is the database of Eden Technology in that office building? Does that office building have anything to do with Eden Technology? "
"To be precise, the office network of that office building is connected to the database of Eden Technology, not the database of Eden Technology in the office building." Asked by an unfamiliar person, Yao Yao looked in Jiang Chen's direction and saw the same confusion in his eyes. She replied timidly, "The database of Eden Technology is like a big tree, and all the connected devices in this city are like apples on the tree."
"The entire city is inseparable from Eden Technology." Nodding thoughtfully, Jiang Chen reached out and gently touched the window frame. His fingertips stopped on a circular logo. "And East Asia Heavy Industries … Isn't it strange? Almost all the giants of the Pan-Asia Cooperation industry that participated in the interstellar colonization plan are involved in the construction of this underground city. "
The entire city shared the same database.
The Garden of Eden Technology had woven a web under the city, gluing everything in the city onto this spider web.
"What do they want to do?" Lu Fan frowned.
"This is also the question I want to ask." Jiang Chen turned around and looked at the numbered folders on the holographic screen. "Maybe only they can give us the answer."
Just then, there was an explosion in the distance. A plume of black smoke floated not far from the city, accompanied by gunshots.
"What happened?" Lu Fan immediately stood up, walked to the window, and stared in the direction of the black smoke.
"Most likely the Russians are here." Looking at the black smoke in the distance, Jiang Chen's mouth gradually curved up. "It seems that before the reinforcements arrive, they can buy us some time."
