Although Wanghai in the apocalypse had entered winter, Coro Island in the modern world was still warm.
The setting sun was slightly slanting. The sea breeze gently stirred the leaves of the palm trees and messed up the hair of the people bathing on the beach. With the surging of the tide, bursts of laughter and laughter came from not far away. Although he didn't understand the language, Jiang Chen felt comfortable listening to it.
The runway at Los Santos International Airport had been applied for. Tomorrow, he would fly to the UA.
This morning, he returned from the apocalypse and spent the entire day at home, making the final preparations for this trip. After dinner, he wanted to change his mood, so he changed into sportswear and left the house.
Jiang Chen only planned to run a few laps around the park in the mansion area, but with his physique, the distance of one or two kilometers was nothing to him. Coincidentally, he was in the mood, so he ran a little further than usual and ran along the road to the beach.
On Coro Island alone, there were five hundred thousand to six hundred thousand tourists. Looking at the people enjoying life on the beach, Jiang Chen always felt the satisfaction of being a king.
He shook his head and chased the strange thought out of his head. Jiang Chen wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder and wondered if it was time to go back, but he happened to see someone familiar on the road.
It was Xia Shiyu.
She was wearing white sportswear with her hair tied into a ponytail. With the rhythm of her running, it swayed like a squirrel's tail.
When she saw Jiang Chen, she waved and jogged over.
"That's rare. Do you have the habit of running at night?"
Jiang Chen said, "I usually run in the morning, unless I slept in the morning. Do you want to join me? "
"Mhmm."
Xia Shiyu nodded and naturally ran next to Jiang Chen.
In fact, Jiang Chen already planned to go back, but he ended up running with Xia Shiyu. What he didn't know was that when he bumped into her, she was almost done. It was just that when he invited her, she somehow nodded.
They ran for an hour.
What confused Xia Shiyu was that Jiang Chen didn't look like someone who excelled in sports, but after running for an hour, he didn't sweat much. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore and suggested to take a break.
The place where they stopped happened to be near Jiang Chen's mansion.
Xia Shiyu borrowed the bathroom and took off her sportswear to take a shower.
Ayesha walked into the bathroom with clean clothes and washed the sweaty clothes. When she passed by Jiang Chen, she gave him a thumbs up with an unclear meaning.
After drying her wet hair, Xia Shiyu, who was in pajamas, pushed open the frosted glass door and said with slight embarrassment.
"Do you have any casual clothes? Can I borrow one? I can't wear this out. "
Ayesha said, "It's almost nine. Let's stay here tonight."
Jiang Chen looked at Ayesha's back helplessly.
The little girl would occasionally do unnecessary things on her own.
Hearing Ayesha's invitation, Xia Shiyu blushed and was about to decline.
But at that moment, Natasha pushed the door open and came in, and as she walked up the stairs, her eyes met hers.
Seeing the unexpected person, Xia Shiyu was slightly taken aback.
"Why are you … here?"
"Because I didn't rent a house, and there happened to be an empty room here, so I stayed here," Natasha said with a mischievous smile and teased Xia Shiyu. "What? Are you jealous? "
The blush climbed from her cheeks down to her neck, but Xia Shiyu's stubborn expression clearly showed she didn't want to admit it.
Natasha didn't wait for her answer as she hummed a Russian song and walked to the bathroom. She just came back from the embassy. She planned to take a shower and change into loose pajamas.
Silence lasted for a while at the top of the stairs.
Just as Jiang Chen wanted to ask if she needed him to drive her back to the apartment, Xia Shiyu turned her stiff neck and looked at him.
"In the future …"
"In the future?"
"I'll live here too."
When Xia Shiyu used all her strength to squeeze the words out of her mouth, Jiang Chen was completely stunned.
What, what the hell was going on?
…
The flight time from Coro Island to Los Santos was thirteen hours, and the time difference was sixteen hours.
At six o 'clock in Los Santos time, a white Gulfstream private jet slowly landed on the runway of Los Santos International Airport. Six black cars were parked on the runway, and officials and bodyguards in suits were already waiting there, quietly waiting for the plane to land.
Accompanied by Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen got off the plane.
Behind him was a Ghost Agent named Zhu Yu and six Celestial Trade bodyguards in suits.
Although Ayesha strongly requested to accompany, considering her identity as the chief instructor of Ghost Agents, and that if Jiang Chen had an accident, she would have to press the "button" to launch the missile, it was better for her to stay behind.
After seeing Jiang Chen, Lawrence, who had been waiting for a long time, took off his sunglasses and greeted him from afar.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang Chen. You should have seen me before, but I guess you have forgotten about me, so let me introduce myself — "
"We meet again, Mr. Lawrence." Jiang Chen shook Lawrence's hand with a smile.
Lawrence was taken aback. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Chen to remember him.
"Your memory is amazing …"
"I'm also surprised that the FBA is responsible for my safety?" Jiang Chen looked at the two bodyguards in sunglasses behind him and joked.
"Yes, your safety level is second only to a fat man sixty years ago. By the way, his name is Khrushchev. Ahem! Please allow me to introduce Mr. Pritzker, the Minister of Commerce. You may have fought a lawsuit, but I hope you don't mind. "Lawrence skillfully introduced the official next to him to Jiang Chen.
The so-called lawsuit naturally referred to the anti-trust investigation that caused a sensation in the UA and the interruption of the Phantom helmet service.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen." Pritzker extended his hand. The hooked nose looked a bit aggressive, but his voice was gentle.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Pritzker." Jiang Chen smiled and shook his hand.
As Jiang Chen expected, the UA attached great importance to his safety. No matter how much the Pentagon and the Capitol worried about the dozens of intercontinental missiles in his hands, they couldn't do anything to him here, and they wouldn't allow anyone to do anything to him here.
Once something happened to this big shot, those missiles would no longer stay at the bottom of the sea, but would fall on the heads of the UA.
By then, the entire North America would return to the Stone Age.
