He stayed with Yaoyao in her room until five o 'clock. Lin Lin, who returned from Camp 27, finally finished a day of work, and Sun Jiao and Xiaorou returned home.
The satisfied Yaoyao jumped down from Jiang Chen's lap, took out an apron from the closet, and put it on her petite body.
"There will be delicious steamed bass tonight. Big brother can look forward to it, hehe …"
The blushing little loli left these words behind, turned around, and ran out of the door briskly.
Listening to the cheerful tunes from the hallway, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh. He got up and walked out of the girl's room.
In the living room, he bumped into Sun Jiao who just returned home.
When Sun Jiao saw Jiang Chen, she immediately threw herself at him and kissed him on the cheek. Xiaorou, who was standing on the side, looked at the two of them with sparkling eyes. She covered her mouth and giggled. Only Lin Lin couldn't stand it anymore. She ridiculed the two of them before rolling her eyes and hiding in the lab.
Because Jiang Chen came back, dinner became a lot more lively.
After dinner, Jiang Chen helped Yaoyao and Xiaorou clean up the dishes, went to the third floor, and went straight to the office.
When he pushed the door open, Sun Jiao was standing in front of the window, looking at him with a smile.
"I knew you would come here."
She walked in front of him, put her arms around Jiang Chen's neck, and gazed into his eyes with longing.
Jiang Chen closed the door behind him, took a few steps forward, and kissed her on the lips. He looked back at her eyes full of longing and smiled.
"I knew you would be waiting for me here."
"There's no one around now."
"Should we do it here?"
"Let's leave it for tonight." Sun Jiao's cheeks turned red, and a charming smile appeared on her face. She put her chin on Jiang Chen's shoulder and closed her eyes in happiness. "Now, I want to be hugged by you like this."
Leaning against the window in the office, Jiang Chen looked at the snow that was almost about to disappear. He only felt the delicate body in his arms was particularly warm. Vaguely, in this tranquility, he could faintly hear a distant singing voice.
"Is someone singing outside?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly as he stared at the bright lights outside the window.
"A spring concert organized by a large band on the Sixth Street will last from 8 am to 12 pm. I can't hear it clearly from here. If you're interested, I can accompany you to watch it live, "Sun Jiao said with a smile.
"Nah, I'm not interested in concerts." Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile. "But it's good to hold more of these events, especially in times of peace."
The supplies were getting more abundant, and the lives of the survivors were getting better. When these people weren't needed to carry guns to the front line, they had to find something to do to pass the time. Holding more of these cultural activities would not only promote social stability, but also cultivate the awareness of civilized people among the survivors.
"There are a lot of female stars who woke up before the war. Do you want me to organize a concubine selection contest for you? " Sun Jiao smiled mischievously. She gently poked his ribs with her finger. "A lot of people are interested in your heroic deeds."
"I don't have any heroic deeds." Jiang Chen coughed and awkwardly looked away.
Sun Jiao looked at him with a smile and didn't speak.
As the woman closest to him, she had seen it all. Annihilating the mutated humans, pacifying the mutants tide, recovering the city center, destroying the rampaging artificial intelligence, conquering Hongcheng Yizhou … each achievement alone was enough to make a person proud for a lifetime.
And when these halos were all gathered on one person, no matter how humble he was, he was worthy of the name of a hero.
It had been like this for a long time. The stability of NAC never relied on slavery collars or citizen ranks, but on the personal prestige of the General.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Right … is there any news from the Guardian Sect?"
Hearing Jiang Chen asked about serious matters, although Sun Jiao didn't leave his arms, she also put away her playfulness and replied after thinking for a moment.
"They sent 50 technicians from Shangjing. It is said that they were the staff who participated in the maintenance of the Holy Shield system before the war. After the war, they also participated in projects related to the shield technology development of the colonial ship."
Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
"The Pan-Asia Cooperation didn't take these talents away?"
"The colonial ship can't take everyone away, and there is no need to take everyone away. This is Lu Minghui's explanation." Sun Jiao changed the topic and corrected the topic that was temporarily changed by Jiang Chen. "At the beginning of last month, the maintenance of the Holy Shield system in Wanghai began, but the repair of this city-level fortification can't be completed overnight."
"How long will it take to complete?" Jiang Chen asked.
Sun Jiao shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe this year, maybe next year, maybe it will never be repaired … But for now, according to the feedback from our engineers, there are no unsolvable technical problems for the time being."
Jiang Chen nodded.
The Little Ice Age had arrived, and this year's winter would only be longer and harsher than last year. It would be best if the Holy Shield system could be completed before October. If not, he would have to put more effort into winter protection.
As a backup plan, before he left last time, he already told Lu Huasheng to start cleaning up Wanghai Metro Line 1. He allocated a portion of the budget from the loose finance to set up heating facilities, temporary living spaces, and spare production workshops for necessities in the subway.
If the living environment on the surface was too harsh, at least the civilians of the Sixth Street could be moved underground to spend the entire winter.
"Right, recently, a new fallout shelter opened in the northern suburbs of Hongcheng. The director of the fallout shelter has accepted our proposal and agreed to merge under the banner of NAC. But after accepting the status quo on the surface, he wants to see you. "Sun Jiao suddenly remembered something and said.
"Is that so? Where is he now? "Jiang Chen said with a smile.
If he was nearby, it would be fine. If he was far away, then forget it. After all, he wouldn't stay for too long this time.
"In the Sixth Street."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Tomorrow, I plan to visit an old friend at the Sixth Street. Let him wait at the council building."
The blue skins may be "ignorant" and may not be welcomed by the survivors, but for Jiang Chen, who hoped to rebuild order on this wasteland, these people were the most precious resources on this wasteland. Even if they were not scientists, even if they were just ordinary people, they were all well-educated and possessed the unique restraint of civilized people that had long been annihilated in the ruins.
The fire of civilization could not be sprouted solely by guns and cannons.
When these people "traveled" from before the war successfully integrated into the post-war society, perhaps they could bring valuable and unique inspiration to the future of NAC.
Based on this point alone, Jiang Chen felt that it was indeed necessary to have a good chat with the director.
