453 An End to the West Line (2/2)
If they were protected by a powerful force, they wouldn't have needed to experience that kind of hardship in the first place. So they pleaded Cheng Weiguo to shelter them, even as NAC slaves.
Cheng Weiguo didn't immediately agree. He only expressed that he would pass their request on to the general.
Jiang Chen considered it for two seconds before accepting them. Then he selected a few people who looked clever to look after the ten thousand people from the First Division and to start rebuilding in Jia.
Jia was the gateway to Wanghai from the west. Jiang Chen was debating if it should be declared a military zone or economic zone.
But after discussing with Chu Nan on the phone, Jiang Chen made the final decision.
He established Jia as an economic zone and completely abandoned the Seventh Area. This way, the merchants that pass through the area could complete simple supplying. On the other hand, Jiang Chen requested the temporary director of Jia to investigate the state of the maglev track.
If they could repair the maglev track from Jia's rail station and link it with Wanghai's rail station, the time between Jia to Wanghai would drastically shorten. The merchants from Hai heading to Su and Changzhou would indeed favor taking Wanghai's route and abandon traversing the barren land to the east of Lake Dingshan.
At the end of the call, Jiang Chen briefly asked about the current status of the Sixth Street. He knew that they were in a precarious state, hanging on by a thread.
Currently, large numbers of dangerous mutants appeared from east of the Sixth Street, and the long defense line brought immense pressure to the soldiers defending. Just yesterday, the north door was attacked by a group of Death Claws.
It was a calamity.
It was not difficult for the Death Claw to hop onto the wall. But to the survivors, all the anti-tank cannon or rocket launchers could damage the Death Claw.
”If we cannot receive assistance within four days, we will have to abandon the Outer Circle wall and retreat to the Inner Circle. The mutants in the rural area have become more and more powerful. The fuel storage in the Sixth Street is also running short…” Chu Nan said difficulty.
”Don't worry. Latest this afternoon, everything will end.” Jiang Chen laughed on the phone.
Chu Nan raised his eyebrows, puzzled. He didn't know the massive commotion Jiang Chen caused on the East line. But with how confident Jiang Chen sounded, he still stated that he would do his best to defend while waiting for backup to arrive.
The source of Jiang Chen's confidence was simple.
[20 thousand solid fuel rockets to bring on the rain of destruction.]
[Regardless if it is zombies or Death Claws, any carbon-based life form must die!]
Jiang Chen hung up the phone and looked toward Cheng Weiguo waiting on the side.
”When will the 20 thousand rockets be ready?”
”It has been ready since an hour ago, waiting for your order.”
Jiang Chen nodded pleasingly.
”What about the armored force?”
”Prepared to enter the battle!” Cheng Weiguo raised his chest.
It was time to end everything.
Jiang Chen looked at the hologram map hovering on the table and a grin formed on his face.
”Tell everyone to get ready. Bring the weapons and let's go home!”
