Chapter 1352 - Blood Axe Mercenaries (1/2)

It was already the afternoon when Jiang Chen freed the exhausted Officer Kwai.

During this time, Kelvin and Ayesha both made a call. Kelvin’s call was to inform him that the 300 scientific researchers had successfully landed in the Mars Colony. They were preparing to enter Mine 071 under the order of Hong Zewei.

The call from Ayesha was related to the situation in Colombia.

Based on what Timochenko said, the FARC guerrillas and the Moro soldiers had successfully entered the Colombian Capital of Bogota. The defeated government force withdrew from the Cundinamarca province and retreated towards the Medellin region.

With the increasingly powerful FARC armed force, the Gulf Coast would be the last home of the government force and where the remaining NATO Coalition Force was stationed. The deterrence from the Ford Aircraft Carrier Battle Group could possibly allow them to struggle until the end of the year.

But Timochenko was quite optimistic.

After FARC took control of the military factory in Cundinamarca, it was capable of producing its own light weapons and ammunition. With the T72 tanks imported from Russia, FARC even armed an armored brigade.

But this armored brigade served more as a deterrence rather than having any actual combat value. After all, the T-72s could perhaps scare the equally poorly equipped government force, but the T-72s were laughable in front of NATO’s M1A2s. In addition, Colombia’s mountainous and forested nature made the value of armored forces quite limited.

But in any case, FARC gained the absolute upper hand.

After Timochenko occupied Bogota, he immediately announced that he would become the new president of Colombia. While he established a new constitution, he also appointed dozens of his close aides and established a new Colombian leadership team.

Immediately afterward, Timochenko, with victory in his grasp, even sent his own Minister of Energy to Xin to start negotiations with Celestial Trade on the Global Power Grid project. As previously stated, Celestial Trade would register a jointly controlled power company in Colombia with Timoshenko’s government, and carry out a grid construction plan under this power company.

After the Trans-Pacific cable landed in Ecuador, it finally took a difficult step forward. The grid extended its tentacles from the coast of South America to Colombia. It won’t be long before countries such as Venezuela and Brazil would join the Global Power Grid.

In the future, the remaining South American countries that firmly stood in the UA camp would also have to bow in front of the promise for higher GDP and lower energy costs in the South American electrification. They would ultimately have to become members of the Earth Defense Alliance…

…

The Apocalypse.

The gate of an abandoned supermarket on the West Coast of North America, California.

The parking lot was full of the scrapped cars, and the surface of the building was full of bullet holes. The name of Wal-Mart could be vaguely seen on the rooftop sign, but many letters were missing.

As the largest supermarket in the United States, Wal-Mart’s shelves were sufficient to meet the needs of the entire United States. However, only a layer of thick dust was visible on the shelves, which couldn’t even feed a hungry mutated rat.

BANG!

Dark red blood splashed on the wall, and the thin-looking man hoisted the rifle behind him. He rushed forward and pulled the giant rat about the size of his thigh from under the shelf as he cheerfully shouted.

“Look at what I caught? A poor mouse.”

But he didn’t feel happy for long as a gun was quickly pointed at his head.

“Give it to me,” with a pistol, the black man said in a threatening tone.

“I found it first…” Although the gun was pointed at his head, the man was not at all afraid. Instead, he showed the grenade he had hidden in his hand and with an almost lunatic grin, he laughed, “Do you want to try?”

A mutated rat. Although it was somewhat lean, it could easily be converted into ten nutrient supplies in the organic boiler. The situation in North America was different from that in the Pan-Asia region. There were no dull zombies here, instead, there were powerful and cunning creatures.

It was not so easy to get a nutrient supply, and it was certainly not news to fight over a dead rat, even if the two people fighting belonged in the same force. Just when the two were in a stalemate over a rat, in the parking lot outside the supermarket, the Blood Axe Mercenaries welcomed a distinguished guest.

Two trucks parked in the middle of the parking lot. A dozen or so soldiers in kinetic skeletons jumped off the truck. A group of ragged mercenaries greeted them with envy and vigilance as they examined the soldier’s shiny equipment as well as the cardboard boxes on the truck.
