Chapter 1158 NAC Reinforcements!

“That is Pingan Street!” Li Wang, the captain of AS Order, stood by Jiang Chen and pointed at the wall in the distance, “That is the most prosperous place in Shangjing. The building in the middle is the fabled Pan-Asia Cooperation Building, the political center of Pan-Asia Cooperation. Now, it’s the political center of the survivors of Shangjing.”

Li Wang used to be the captain of Jiang Chen’s guards, then was promoted as captain of AS Order during the expedition to Hongcheng. His mood was particularly high in this expedition with Jiang Chen.

“The most prosperous place?” Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and laughed. “Why do I feel like it is more of a farm?”

Li Wang laughed along with him. “Of course, you can’t compare it with the Sixth Street. Based on the standards of these survivors, clean streets, stable order, and stores that accept crystals makes any place a paradise! At least within a few hundred kilometers, you can’t find a more prosperous place than this.”

In fact, Jiang Chen’s statement was still somewhat exaggerated.

In any case, this place didn’t look like a farm.

The mighty concrete walls stopped the mutants and zombies outside. Shops and houses filled the streets. While the place didn’t look prosper, it was filled with vitality. The hunters exchanged their prey for necessities and crystals; the mercenaries with weapons were bargaining with the merchants; the lone travelers were examining the rifles in the windows of the weapon store.

In the corner of Pingan Street, several chimneys spewed out thick smoke, the furnaces smelted the waste into metal and sent it to the processing plant to make weapons or mechanical parts. This must be the legendary Industrial Zone of Pingan Street. If this place was compared with the Sixth Street four years ago, the industrialization here was at least twice as large as the Sixth Street.

Without seeing the “prosperity” of the Sixth Street, Jiang Chen would probably exclaim about a “paradise” like this existing on the wasteland.

“Indeed, this place is in Shangjing. It’s just unfortunate that they possess the legacy of pre-war civilization, but they never thought of doing anything with the legacy.”

“There is always a more reasonable choice in theory,” Han Junhua focused on the decaying Pan-Asia Cooperation building and said, “But civilization itself is an irrational product. Just like this building. Who would have thought 30 years ago, in just 30 years, it would be run down to the point that there was no one to take care of it?”

Jiang Chen paused for a brief moment, then turned his head to look at Han Junhua and smiled.

“I didn’t expect you to say something so interesting.”

“Is there anything wrong?”

“No, just a little surprised.”

The airship flew near, and the outline of Pingan Street gradually became clear. Everything in the entire survivor settlement was in Jiang Chen’s field of vision. But the people in the settlements all showed fear of the huge behemoths in the air.

A guard on the concrete wall overcame the fear in his heart. He was preparing to aim the air defense machine gun before a veteran slapped him on the forehead. The veteran shouted. “Are you stupid? Do you think this can take that thing down? Go and report the situation! GO!”

Just as the guard ran to deliver the message, the survivors of the entire Pingan Street were watching the airships pierce through the clouds like their nemesis.

The expected alarm did not sound, and the guard who went to report quickly ran back. The 3,000 soldiers on Pingan Street received the order that the airships were not enemies, but NAC reinforcements!

The soldiers standing on the wall were relieved.

In just three minutes, many people’s palms were already oozing with sweat.

They didn’t have the courage to resist when they saw the menacing cannons under the steel airship.

Even the giant walls that stopped thousands of mutants would not last a single round against this size of an electromagnetic pulse cannon.

Soon, the top leaders of the Shangjing Survivors Alliance stepped out of the Pan-Asia Cooperation building, arrived at the entrance of Pingan Street by car, and boarded the tower by elevator. They went to a radio station and Ding Liwei took the intercom from the hands of an officer, looked at the airships in the sky, and then cleared his throat.

“Ding Liwei, the representative of the Shangjing Survivors Alliance, the head of the Second Militia Group of Shangjing. On behalf of all the survivors of Shangjing, I want to extend my appreciation for your reinforcement.”

The radio was silent for a long time.

Then, after a series of static noises, Jiang Chen’s voice rang out at the end of the intercom.

“Jiang Chen, NAC General. No need for formalities. Tell your people to clear an area for us.”

No sense of politeness at all.

With ten transport airships, AS Order descended and flew over Pingan Street. The shadows shrouded the entire settlement. The survivors all paused what they were doing to gaze into the sky, staring straight at the huge monster on top of their heads they did not dare to even breathe heavily.

AS Order stopped outside the northern wall of Pingan Street, then lowered the chamber on its belly.

A platform filled with supply boxes tied by four graphene cables landed slowly on the ground. Immediately afterward, the soldiers wearing kinetic skeletons hooked themselves onto the graphene cables and quickly descended to the ground one by one.

In less than a minute, AS Order deployed two hundred engineer soldiers onto the ground.

“Do these primitive people know how to clean their homes?” Looking at the zombies wandering the streets, and the raiders behind the half-collapsed apartment buildings, Li Wang, with one foot on the guardrail, grinned.

“Since we are allies, we’ll help them a little.” Jiang Chen smiled.

“Roger!” Li Wang took back his foot and stood upright.

The zombies began to gather under AS Order when they smelt the breath of living humans. Just as the soldiers on Pingan Street were hesitating about opening the door or not, AS Order in the air began to move.

Two quadruple air defense machine guns turned their muzzles and aimed at the zombies that were forming. Without the slightest omen, the two machine guns instantly spat out half-meter-long flame tongues.

Only a short humming sound was heard before broken gravels were lifted into the air.

The hailstorm of bullets unleashed from above tore the zombies into pieces. The mutants, hiding in the dark, all hid the menacing light in their eyes and fled when they witnessed the guns’ destructive power.

The NAC soldiers raised their rifles and fired sporadically on the dusty street, killing the remaining zombies who had luckily escaped.

When Jiang Chen stood on the deck of AS Order and watched this scene from the above, Jiang Chen smiled.

“Do you think we can see Badaling from this location?”

Li Wang, next to Jiang Chen, grinned as he rubbed his chin. “There is only a little more than 50 kilometers from the Second Ring Road to Badaling. We’re flying in the sky, so it would be weird if they didn’t see us.”

“Oh, I don’t know what they would think after seeing our steel airship.”

Li Wang chuckled, “What else can they think? Maybe they will go back to where they came from?”

“That’s hard to say.”
