At the signing ceremony of the peace agreement, Jiang Chen saw Aquino's comedic horse-like face. However, his swollen eyes and white sideburns added a tragic color to his face.
Under the lens of the reporters, Aquino walked up and held the hand of Santos, who was full of muscles.
Santos grinned at him, and he could only respond with a smile that was uglier than crying.
Finally, the lens of the media froze on the two hands of the peace agreement. The two signed their names on the two peace agreements and announced the end of the civil war in front of the people of the world.
Outside the lens of the media, the real facilitators of this peace negotiation, Reston and Jiang Chen, were watching this historic scene from afar.
"I hope this is the last time." Reston stared into Jiang Chen's eyes. "You've touched our bottom line. Do you want to know what the turnout for the war option was? "
"I don't want to know." Jiang Chen shook his head. "But you should know my bottom line."
A pistol, no matter how many bullets it had, even if it was held in the hands of a baby, it was still a gun. Or rather, because it was held in the hands of a baby, the gun was more dangerous. As long as the baby wasn't too greedy, the two sides could still coexist peacefully.
Reston looked at Jiang Chen with a meaningful look.
"Also, the CIB agents will enter MLL Island to search for the missing F35 pilot, Gordon. I hope your people can cooperate."
"You should say that to Santos. He's the owner of MLL Island. But I think if your people don't look around, they won't reject us. "Jiang Chen smiled.
Jiang Chen, of course, ordered people to search for the F35 pilot. Moro also sent scouts to search along the jungle foothills of MLL Island. After all, a UA pilot was an important bargaining chip on the negotiation table. But unfortunately, Celestial Trade and Moro didn't find the whereabouts of the pilot.
Optimistically, the unlucky guy may have been blown into the crater of MLL Island.
Reston snorted, took out a lighter, lit his cigar, and left in the car that picked him up.
Jiang Chen stood at the ceremony for a while and looked at the pair of fluttering olive branches on the United Nations flag. A sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
Before the applause could be heard, he turned and walked away.
…
The war was over, and Moro owed Celestial Trade a total of 1.25 billion USD. To be honest, if it wasn't for the perfect reason to start the war and City K's biohazard alert him, he would've dragged the war on for a while longer. The more money Moro owed Celestial Trade, the stronger Celestial Trade's control over them, and the stronger Moro's dependence on Xin.
MLL Island was the poorest southern region of Country F. It was absolutely impossible to take out 1.25 billion USD in cash. This money could only be compensated by the rich undeveloped mineral resources and fertile land. And these things were exactly what Jiang Chen wanted the most.
These resources and land were crucial to Xin. Currently, most of NAC's mineral resources and agricultural products were imported from Australia. Although Xin had a good relationship with Kangaroo, it was obviously not a good choice to rely too much on the UA's best friend.
But for now, Australia didn't express any stance on the situation in Country F. Obviously, they didn't want to offend Xin with a promising economic future for Country F. The current trend of isolationism in Australia was no less than the UA in the early nineties.
Because of the peace agreement, Celestial Trade withdrew the frigates deployed in the Sulu Sea, as well as the thousands of Marines that landed on MLL Island. Only 100 soldiers were left in City K to maintain the local order with the Moro government force.
Yes, they could no longer be called guerrillas. After the peace agreement took effect, they became a sovereign country recognized by the United Nations, and their army was naturally named the government force.
Three days had passed since the peace agreement took effect.
"Currently, there are more than one hundred thousand zombies in the eastern part of the city. Our plan is to use the Scorpion tanks seized from Country F to form a tank battalion and recover the five bridges along the river. Then, we'll use barbed wire to create an isolation belt and gradually recover the eastern part of the city …"
At the moment, standing next to Jiang Chen was the commander of the Moro 11th Brigade, Chen Zhitian. He was discussing with Jiang Chen how to deal with the zombies in the city.
"There's no need to be so troublesome." Jiang Chen shook his head.
Chen Zhitian looked at Jiang Chen with a questioning gaze and waited for him to continue.
"T virus, our scientists have tentatively named this virus. Based on clinical trials, the virus's ability to resist UV rays is very weak, and the survival time in vitro is very short. As long as we maintain the lockdown of the city, the possibility of the epidemic spreading is very low. As for the zombies … just wait for them to starve to death. "
"Starve to death?" Chen Zhitian looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded.
There was a fundamental difference between the zombies in City K and the zombies in the apocalypse. The difference was mainly reflected in the pathogenesis. One was a viral infection, while the other was a bacterial infection. Although the former destroyed the human nervous system and immune system, it didn't solve the zombies' energy problem. The latter was a mutated strain of radiation purifying bacteria. After parasitizing the host, it allowed the host to obtain the ability to photosynthesize.
Any creature would die if it didn't eat.
Even zombies couldn't escape this basic law of nature. Even if the zombies were left alone, as long as they didn't eat their own kind, they would at most last for a month before they turned into dried corpses. By that time, they would only need to prepare a few more incinerators to dispose of the corpses.
The only troublesome thing now was that the zombies had lost their immune system, and the surface of their bodies were already showing signs of decay. If it wasn't controlled, there was a risk of a plague outbreak in the city.
Currently, doctors from international rescue organizations already entered the safe zone and began to examine the survivors inside. Among them were researchers sent by international pharmaceutical companies. Everyone wanted to be the first to understand the secret of the virus and develop a vaccine to defend against the virus.
Under Jiang Chen's suggestion, Santos implemented a completely different strategy from the Aquino government. They didn't stop the international rescue organizations from entering the city. Since Moro was currently impoverished and didn't have the ability to handle the epidemic on its own.
At the same time, Future Group's subsidiary, Future Biology, held a press conference to announce its entry into the medical field. It also sent a research team to the city to participate in the development of the T virus vaccine. But Future Biology's CEO, Tao Ming, also stated that Future Biology's researchers would conduct research independently and wouldn't cooperate with international medical teams.
Jiang Chen had always planned to enter the medical field, but the T virus epidemic pushed his plan forward.
The T virus epidemic that shocked the world was the perfect entry point. Future Biology would use people's fear of the virus to build its reputation in the medical field. At the same time, to prevent the virus from breaking out in their own countries, there was no doubt that countries would fight to pay for the vaccine.
After the modern world's researchers scanned the virus' DNA information into data, Jiang Chen brought it to the apocalypse and handed it over to Lin Lin, who had nothing to do because of the snow. Based on Lin Lin's words, it shouldn't be a difficult task to solve the virus.
Just like that, time quickly arrived at the end of January.
The virtual reality MMORPG was originally planned to be released in early January, but due to the president's plane crash, it was postponed to the end of January. It was almost time for the game's server launch. Currently, there were close to one hundred million Phantom users around the world who were eagerly waiting for 's server launch.
But just then, a piece of news caught Jiang Chen's attention …
