721 Submarine Observation Station (1/2)
With half a month to go before the New Year, a gloomy cloud covered Liuding.
The survivors living on the deck of Bohai Aircraft Carrier felt a great deal of unease from the wandering destroyer. They'd maintained a certain degree of superiority over the land survivors because were no zombies, mutants, predators or mutated humans on the aircraft carrier. They didn't have to struggle to survive on land.
However, the situation seemed to be reversed now.
The threat from the sea made them feel a fear they'd never experienced.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen honored the defense pact and NAC sent troops!
Construction of the Hengsha Island fortifications had been completed. The island was equipped with a ”Fireball-1” rocket cluster system, 2,000 rockets, and fifty-one J-type electromagnetic pulse cannons. Under the leadership of Cheng Weiguo, a 1,000-strong reinforcement camp was stationed there.
NAC had no navy - not even a few ships. But it didn't matter. NAC possessed the top artillery in all of Pan-Asia. Just a few days ago, their rockets filled the sky, cleansed Hengsha Island of soldiers then annihilated two mutant nests.
The whole process was easier than sweeping the floor.
Perhaps it was because of NAC's strong forces that the destroyer cruising around Wanghai City was calculated and reserved.
At least they weren't opposed to communication unlike before.
...
On the shore of Hengsha Island, a spherical submersible device surfaced. From its appearance, this submersible and Jiang Chen's ”Droplet No.1” seemed similar, except that the smooth cone on the back was missing.
After a visual exchange, the five soldiers inside the bunker stood up and carefully surrounded it. The door at the top of the submersible opened and a man in a light blue jumpsuit walked out. Faced with five black weapons, he raised his hands calmly.
”I'm not a threat. I'm hoping to meet your leader.”
”You're the ambassador from the destroyer?” The leader of the five soldiers stared into the man's eyes.
”Yes.” The man nodded.
The captain turned his head and ordered the soldier beside him.
”Make a request to the higher-ups.”
”Yes!”
When news of the arrival of the destroyer's ambassador reached Jiang Chen's desk, he immediately sent someone to bring him to Fishbone base and meet the messenger.
Upon seeing his blue costume, Jiang Chen initially thought the clothing belonged to an underwater fallout shelter. After a closer look at the work unit's ID, he realized this wasn't the case.
The Beluga Whale Submarine Observation Station appeared to be a harmless organization.
He just didn't explain why they had a destroyer.
When Wu Yue met Jiang Chen, he demonstrated respect then reached out his right hand and shook Jiang Chen's hand.
”I'm Wu Yue, the vice-captain of the Seagull.”
”Jiang Chen, the general of the NAC military government.” Jiang Chen released his hand and looked into his eyes then he asked, ”I don't think anyone would feel good about a warship at their front door. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, please explain your intentions.”
