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.
