Chapter 1386 - Clue (1/2)

A week ago, the NAC cargo ship docked at the port, but unexpectedly, it was not their compatriots who went to North America first that welcomed them, but a group of bandits with guns.

There were indeed many weapons on the cargo ship, but the firepower was still far inferior compared to the predators. These predators quickly attacked the deck and captured the wounded soldiers and colonists on the ship. Based on Han Yue’s narration, he jumped into the sea in order to escape the predators.

“How many of them were there?” Jiang Chen asked after he thought for a moment.

“I don’t know. The situation was chaotic. There were bullets and explosions everywhere. About a hundred people? Maybe more than two hundred. In short, their firepower was very fierce, not just heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, but even drones and a few armored vehicles.”

It was impossible for a few armored vehicles to take down the NAC colony in North America, and even with fifty more armored vehicles, it was still impossible. There were fifty power armors in the colony, which could already make up a quarter of the power armor brigade, plus 450 sets of kinetic skeletons. While Jiang Chen was not arrogant to the point where he believed that he could sweep the West Coast with these weapons, it was more than sufficient to defend their base, especially with so many stationary weapons built into the fortress.

“How many people escaped besides you?” Jiang Chen then asked.

“I don’t know… there may be one or two more. I saw someone falling in the water, but I couldn’t tell whether it was a corpse or a living person…” At this point, the expression on Han Yue’s face was a little ashamed. After all, he chose to escape.

“It’s okay, you’re not a soldier. It’s not shameful to run away.” Jiang Chen seemed to read what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, then said, “Were there any signs on those predators? Or something like a flag? Things like that?”

While he spoke, Jiang Chen took a rag that was stained and painted with a red airplane.

It was the symbol of the Airport Gang. The “indigenous people” in North America seemed to like to engage in performance art. When Jiang Chen went downstairs, he saw this rag in the center of the airport’s second-floor lobby. It annoyed him, so he tore it down.

When Han Yue saw this flag, he searched deep in his memory for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, “I remember. All of them wore black masks with the same symbol painted in white paint.”

“What symbol?”

“A skeleton!”

A white skull?

Jiang Chen touched his chin.

Based on this clue, he could deduct that it was probably the Skeleton Gang or the White Skeleton Gang that occupied the colony. However, Jiang Chen still was not convinced by the fact that a gang of predators could take out his colony.

While Zhou Guoping’s character was questionable at times, his intelligence was fine. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would not have entrusted the North American colony to him. Maybe Jessica and Hardy, who are both predators, would know something, and maybe Chinatown could also give him some advice.

After he gathered all the evidence in his mind, Jiang Chen asked one last question.

“One last question, how did you get here?”

The Santa Monica Airport and the port were a little far apart. The straight-line distance from the map was two kilometers.

“I heard from the sailor on the ship that there was a Chinatown near Santa Monica, and the place has established a good relationship with the colony. Therefore, I planned to ask them to borrow a radio station and send the information to Wanghai.” A wry smile then appeared on Han Yue’s face. “However, the sailor didn’t tell me where Chinatown was. When I passed by the airport, I wondered if there would be a map of Los Angeles here, so I decided to come in. However, I got caught in their trap as soon as I came in.”

Chinatown in Santa Monica?

Jiang Chen’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily.
