The next morning, a faint ray of light shone into the room through the window.
Jiang Chen slowly yawned as he opened his sleepy eyes and looked out the window.
It was rare to see a sunny day outside. The insulated glass blocked all the coldness outside the room, and the room was as warm as spring. If it wasn't for the thick layer of snow, looking at the bright sunlight, he would have the illusion that he slept until the beginning of spring.
The warm air softly landed on his chest. Jiang Chen looked down and noticed Yaoyao curled up on his chest.
She was sleeping peacefully like a rabbit. Yaoyao's breathing was even. Her eyelashes trembled along with her breathing. Under the sunlight, she exuded an angelic radiance. Even in her dreams, her cherry-like lips had a sweet smile.
Jiang Chen gently brushed aside the hair in front of her forehead and kissed her smooth forehead before he quietly got out of bed.
He picked up the USB and chip from the table and quietly left the room and closed the door for her.
It was only six o 'clock, but based on Jiang Chen's experience, Sun Jiao should be up by now.
He should have gone to find her last night, but Yaoyao's hopeful eyes made him stay.
When he walked to the third floor of the mansion, Jiang Chen could hear gunshots from the gym.
"You're up early as always." Jiang Chen pushed open the door and smiled at Sun Jiao, who was in sportswear and aiming at the target with one hand.
"Mhmm? You're back? "Sun Jiao turned around and looked at Jiang Chen as a surprised smile flashed across her face.
Sun Jiao threw the pistol into the box and jumped in front of Jiang Chen.
"Are you done with the things on the other side?"
"Not yet, but I was a bit worried, so I came to take a look."
"Don't worry, don't you have the communication chip? I'll let you know if something urgent happens. "Sun Jiao smiled.
Lin Lin recorded the video of her conversation with Jiang Chen and shared it with Sun Jiao and Yaoyao. Yaoyao's reaction was normal since she lived for twelve years before the war. When she saw the "ancient" world, other than envy, she felt emotional. Sun Jiao, who had never seen a civilized society, almost put her face into the screen.
To her, the other side was like a fairy tale.
"It'll be too late by the time it happens. Is there any movement from Area Seven? "
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Sun Jiao's face also showed a serious expression.
"There's no reaction from the mutated humans for now. The defensive line on the east bank of Zhufeng Highway has been completed. 10 Hunting Tigers and 200 soldiers are stationed there. "
He nodded, thought for a moment, then continued to ask.
"What about Jia City's Defender?"
A bitter smile flashed across Sun Jiao's face.
"Not to mention a reaction, there's not even the slightest bit of news."
Jiang Chen exchanged communication channels with Lin Chaoen outside the Bullet Shell Tavern at the Sixth Street. In the beginning, Jiang Chen could still contact the general of the Defender in Jia City, but when winter came, they seemed to have disappeared and never responded to the Fishbone base's communication signal.
Was it destroyed? Or did something else happen?
With a frown, Jiang Chen felt something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Sun Xiaorou was captured, but the Dusk Church did not react at all.
The mutated humans' outpost was destroyed twice, but their reaction was abnormally calm.
Could it be because their plans were thwarted one after another, and they were at their wit's end?
But compared to the optimistic belief that the crisis was over, Jiang Chen was more inclined to believe in another possibility, which was that they were planning something serious. The silence now was just a form of forbearance.
"Speaking of this, is Sun Xiaorou's condition better?" Jiang Chen asked awkwardly.
"It's better now." Sun Jiao's expression was slightly lonely when she talked about her sister's problem.
She spent most of her time with her sister, trying to wake up the personality in Xiaorou's heart that relied on her sister and put the fanatical personality that believed in an unknown religion to sleep forever.
But it was extremely difficult.
Faced with a mental threat, she had no solution at all.
"She'll get better." Seeing the lonely expression on Sun Jiao's face, Jiang Chen hugged her shoulder and comforted her.
"Mhmm."
Sun Jiao nodded and rested her head on Jiang Chen's shoulder for a while.
Just like that, the silence continued for a while before Sun Jiao suddenly asked, "How's the situation on your side?"
"Me?" Jiang Chen paused for a moment.
"Mhmm, I haven't asked you about the situation on your side. Can you tell me?" Sun Jiao's eyes shone with anticipation when she talked about the other world.
"It's nothing special … It's probably the opposite of this place. A mouse is only the size of a fist, and a cockroach is only the size of a thumb. There are no mutants, and the streets are filled with all kinds of people. All kinds of shops have a lot of delicious food and fun things … It's hard to explain in a short time. You'll understand when I have the chance. "Jiang Chen scratched his face.
"Mhmm, I envy you. You were born in heaven." Sun Jiao pouted.
"It's not as exaggerated as you think. It's much better than here, but it's not heaven. Some people are rich, and some people are so poor that they don't even have a house of their own. Renting a house is dependent on other people. "
Fortunately, Jiang Chen changed from the latter to the former.
"House?" Sun Jiao raised her eyebrows.
She didn't quite understand Jiang Chen's words. The last thing on the wasteland was concrete and steel. She didn't understand what was so valuable about it.
If she was sleepy, she could find a building and put a bomb on the stairs to sleep.
"Before the war, a house was a luxury. Just like the mansion we're living in right now, if it was before the war, it would cost a few hundred million … You can think of it as millions of crystals. "
"Mhmm, so expensive." Sun Jiao was shocked.
"So, don't think too highly of the other side. Be careful or you'll be disappointed." Jiang Chen rubbed Sun Jiao's hair.
Just then, Sun Jiao abruptly asked, "Which side do you prefer?"
Looking at Sun Jiao's serious eyes, Jiang Chen paused for a moment.
After thinking about it for a moment, he gave an answer that even he was a little surprised by.
"Perhaps … it's this side, at least for now."
In the modern world, he was only a billionaire. Even as the president of a multi-billion company, he was only a wealthy man. With the growth of Future Technology, he gradually began to touch the cake of those with vested interests.
It was precisely because of those spying eyes in the dark that Jiang Chen was very careful in his development and carefully controlled the speed of development. Even if he had a lot of good stuff in his hands, he didn't dare to take it out.
As for those virtual reality MMORPG, Du Yongkang had already created it. The head-mounted virtual reality device could be produced by the Sixth Street, but taking it out in the modern world would be no different than suicide.
But in the apocalypse, he was the leader of a force. Ever since he became the general of the Sixth Street, there was no force in Wanghai that could hide his development.
Perhaps the development in the modern world should speed up?
