Chapter 446: Adapt Ancient Forms to serve the Present
Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi
Around nine o'clock, Jiang Chen returned to the apocalypse.
The lighting shells had laminated the entire base to as bright as daylight, but the apartments in the base were pitch black.
The appearances of mutants like mutant mosquitos and mutant flies meant that the base wall could not protect the safety of the survivors. Only combat personnel remained on the surface while the rest of the survivors all evacuated into the emergency facility in the underground tunnel.
Jiang Chen's mansion also looked dark from the outside, but the glimmer of light shining out from the edges of the curtain signified the people inside haven't left.
There was no need.
The mansion was the most secure place in the entire base. With Sun Jiao and Sun Xiaorou inside, there was no need to worry about mutants posing a threat.
Sun Jiao didn't need to be mentioned as no one in the base had combat abilities that could match her's. Her sister, Sun Xiaorou, was not weak either. While she usually looked timid, she was very agile. Before she recovered her memory, she sneaked into the base and fought head-to-head with her ”brother-in-law.”
Jiang Chen pushed open the mansion door and discovered that Han Junhua was in the living room.
”It is better for me to remain on the surface to better command the force. Don't worry about my safety. Weapon training is a necessary course for PAC military commanders.”
Sun Jiao, sitting across from Han Junhua, eagerly asked when she saw Jiang Chen.
”Did you solve it?”
”I did, I only need to head to the west line after.” Jiang Chen nodded.
Sun Jiao wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end. She knew why Jiang Chen had to make a personal trip; she was just concerned with his safety.
Han Junhua frowned and stated what Sun Jiao wanted to say.
”Allow me to be honest, I don't think your presence on the west line would bring much change to the situation, but rather it would increase the variables of the battle. Cheng Weiguo is more than enough to control the force.”
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile.
”I'm not there to lead the frontline. I'm there… to request help.”
Jiang Chen thought about it for a long time before he managed to found the correct word.
”Requesting for help?” Han Junhua frown only grew deeper.
She didn't know Jiang Chen's ability, and before he was sure of her reaction, Jiang Chen didn't plan on telling her.
Even if a ”special” chip was in the back of her head.
”That's right. I solved the lack of heavy ammunition on the west line. The only problem is that I must be there personally.”
Jiang Chen's ambiguous response didn't satisfy Han Junhua.
But seeing Jiang Chen's eyes shine with sincerity, she stared into his eyes for half a minute in silence.
”If you insist.”
Then she stood up and headed for the door.
”Are we going to leave now? I still want to sleep,” seeing that she was putting on her shoes, Jiang Chen asked.
”Of course not now, but all the military movements must be planned.” She loaded the laser pistol used for self-defense, ”You'll leave tomorrow at eight with the helicopter. It is best you notify the people at the frontline now in case it interrupts their plan. I'll be back after going to the community center. You don't have to follow me.”
NAC only had two helicopters now, and both were deployed to Hunter Corps.
The limited resources meant that even the general must make reservations before making a trip.

The arms sale quickly received a response.
