"If it's convenient, can you come to Moscow?"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen didn't refuse Natasha's invitation.
Since it required him to make a personal visit, it must be a topic that was inconvenient to discuss over the phone, nor was it convenient to appoint a diplomat to discuss it. And intuition told him that the content of the discussion must be related to the recent turbulent situation in Europe.
Russia was one of Celestial Trade's strategic partners. The cooperation between the two sides in the economic field was second only to Hua, and the cooperation in the military field was even above Hua. From this perspective alone, it was indeed necessary for him to go in person.
Europe's unification was also not in the interest of Celestial Trade.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen looked at Ayesha, gently held her face, and whispered with a smile.
"Thank you."
"Don't worry about it." Ayesha's hand gently covered Jiang Chen's hand, and her cheek rubbed gently. She closed her eyes and whispered, "It's my honor to share your worries."
"Shouldn't this be said by a gentleman to a lady?" Jiang Chen joked.
Ayesha smiled, activated optical invisibility, and disappeared in the office.
Since playing a virtual reality stand-alone game called "Assassin's Creed: Phantom" in the Phantom helmet, she seemed to have fallen in love with this method of "stealth" as a substitute for farewell.
A soft touch came from his forehead, and soon a gust of wind blew through the door of the office.
Jiang Chen reached out and touched his forehead, and a smile appeared on his face.
This little girl had even secretly kissed him before she left ….
…
The further east, the weaker the influence of the Freemasonry, but even the KGB could not guarantee that there was no Freemasonry in Moscow, the capital of Eastern Europe.
Risk and benefit coexisted.
In order to ensure the safety of the trip to Moscow, Ayesha would go to Moscow first. Without offending allies, she would maximize the use of the local intelligence network established by Ghost Agents to eliminate potential dangers for Jiang Chen's visit.
The date of the visit was set for a week later in the name of discussing submarine transmission cables.
Before going to Russia, Jiang Chen didn't completely idle around, but returned to the apocalypse …
In early April, the heavy snow over Wanghai finally stopped, and the snow covering the ruins of the city also showed signs of melting.
Last year's winter came earlier than usual, and it also left much later than usual.
The entire Earth was like a computer that was overburdened by various countries. After running feverishly for hundreds of years, it was finally restarted because of the global nuclear war.
The facts confirmed the speculation of the Dusk Church. After many years of silence, the world ushered in a Little Ice Age that far exceeded the Middle Ages. A disaster caused by the nuclear winter swept across the entire Earth with howling winds and snow.
During the coldest days, Jiang Chen basically spent most of his time in the modern world. He only occasionally came back to eat hot pot with the girls, so he didn't have a direct experience of how harsh last winter was. According to Sun Jiao, Wanghai and the Yizhou Island colony were fine, but in Hongcheng and Wu City, many survivors froze to death.
The Little Ice Age had a certain impact on the development of the Sixth Street.
This survivor settlement, which claimed to be the "trade center" and connected the north and south, was affected by last year's cold winter and was affected by a hint of depression. Because of the irreplaceable food trade, the Sixth Street's market still maintained a certain degree of activity, but the population growth had slowed down.
People were more inclined to look for a suitable place to live in the south.
At this moment, Jiang Chen somewhat understood why the Northern Alliance Area did not hesitate to lengthen the already fragile supply line to forcibly declare themselves.
It was not that they were crazy, but they had no other choice.
They inherited the armed forces of the pre-war Pan-Asia Cooperation and united the mutated humans who fled from Hongcheng to Wu City. They achieved success at one point.
If it were not for the breakthrough of magnetic confinement technology, coupled with the "powerful" industrial capability of the Sixth Street, which allowed the frontline forces to successfully install plasma cannons, they were likely to have gained a foothold in Wu City. Perhaps they would be attacking Hongcheng now, or even driving tanks to the doorstep of NAC – Hang City.
However, there were not so many ifs …
When Jiang Chen returned to the apocalypse, the expected welcome did not happen. The mansion was quiet.
Sun Jiao and Sun Xiaorou needed to take care of the affairs of the General Mansion for him when he returned to the modern world. Although Sun Jiao, who was used to being casual, hated these troublesome matters, she could endure it for Jiang Chen's sake. As for Lin Lin, she happened to go to Camp 27 for research.
In other words, the only one left at home was Yao Yao, who stayed in her room every day …
And this information was what Jiang Chen heard from the little girl.
"Umm … Can you get off my leg now?"
With the soft and fragrant body in his arms, Jiang Chen scratched his cheek nervously.
At this moment, Yao Yao, who was wearing a floral pajamas, was sitting on his lap with a blissful look on her face. She was happily swinging her two little feet that were wrapped in white silk. Even her little bunny slippers had been kicked aside by her.
The light fragrance drifted along her fluffy hair, the soft voice seemed to carry a sweet aroma, and the doe-like watery eyes flashed with an irresistible hope.
"Can … can you hug Yao Yao a little longer?" Yao Yao turned her head slightly and begged in a small voice.
"No problem! As long as you want! "Jiang Chen immediately replied.
Yes, it was impossible to refuse!
Even Jiang Chen, who would occasionally reveal the "S" side hidden deep in his heart, couldn't bear to see the lonely expression on the little angel's face.
Since there was nothing else to do, Jiang Chen sighed and lovingly rubbed Yao Yao's hair. He muttered "I'm not a lolicon" a dozen times in his mind and decided to stay with the little girl for a little longer.
Feeling the warmth on her head, Yao Yao's expression was even more satisfied as she happily hummed a song.
The sound of the computer running was faintly discernible. Jiang Chen looked around Yao Yao's room. Over the years, almost nothing had changed here. Other than the bed and furniture being "imported" from Xin, the pink girl-style wallpaper and the electronic components that exuded a metallic smell were still the same.
There were more and more books on the shelf. Just looking at the names gave Jiang Chen a headache. They must be high-end computer science books.
While Jiang Chen marveled at Yao Yao's growth, he couldn't help but caress her hair.
"Speaking of this, Yao Yao didn't grow at all."
"Woo!"
Poked at her sore spot, Yao Yao's shoulders trembled. Her mouth pouted and she let out a frustrated whimper.
"You won't grow taller if you stay in your room all the time. Remember to exercise more, at least get some sun in the backyard …" Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the yellow-green sunlight that penetrated through the radiation dust was not as healthy as the indoor lights.
Yao Yao felt wronged as she buried her head and murmured in a small voice.
"Woo … Big brother, don't you like smaller girls?"
It was not a small category anymore, it was not an exaggeration to say she was a baby …
Also, that was not the point!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but gently knock her head with his finger.
"I'm worried about your health. Why are you thinking about that!"
"Hehe."
She put her hands together and covered the big hand that was gently caressing her head. A sweet smile appeared on Yao Yao's face.
Although she was scolded, she always felt warm in her heart.
It was as if the empty space was filled up …
