Chapter 1388 - Strange (1/2)
This is the guy whose nuts got kicked by Jessica…
The way he looked at Smith Zhao was a bit weird, but he quickly realized that it was disrespectful and so he concealed the strange look in his eyes with a dry cough.
“My name is Zheng Shanhe, they are my people,” Jiang Chen opened the armor mask out of courtesy. Then, he borrowed Zheng Shanhe’s name, pointed to the six guards in power armors behind him, and made up some information.” We are from Wanghai, and we are part of the NAC First Division.”
Despite the expansion of the NAC colony, some people on the West Coast of North America have heard of the title “NAC General”, but fortunately no one placed his portraits everywhere. At least General Zhao did not recognize his identity.
“Wanghai? First Division? I’ve heard of this name,” Smith Zhao said with some suspicion and examined him from head to toe. “Then, for safety’s sake, let me ask one more question… As members of the First Division, why are you here in Chinatown in Los Angeles?”
Obviously, he didn’t believe Jiang Chen’s remarks, at least he didn’t let his guard down.
“We are not malicious, otherwise we would not save your people,” Jiang Chen pointed to the young man named Wang Ping next to him, and said, “We are here to understand the situation at our outpost.”
Colony was the term NAC referred to for its colonies. Of course, this term was not used outside of the colonies. NAC used the word outpost to refer to these colonies, and most of the survivors in North America referred to that area as “outpost”, “outpost town” and so on… It was the information Jiang Chen collected from Jessica.
When Smith Zhao heard the word outpost, the alertness in his tone was suddenly replaced by a hint of surprise.
“Outpost Town? Wait, are you here for the outpost?”
“Is there a problem?” Jiang Chen asked.
“I thought you left the unfinished building there and returned home. After all, there was really nothing good to remember here in North America.” Smith Zhao stared at Jiang Chen with wide eyes and his surprised expression didn’t seem to be faked. “If I remember correctly, it should be the Black Skull, a demon in the Nevada desert, who lives there now.”
“Is he called Black Skull? No matter if they are demons or not, thank you for your information.” Jiang Chen nodded, paused for a moment, and said, “In fact, we did not evacuate from North America, and even sent new immigrants not long ago…but the situation here surprised us. The entire outpost disappeared. There was no signal. We don’t even know what happened here.”
“…Strange.” Smith Zhao was also caught by surprise and he said, “You… haven’t received any news?”
“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.
“That’s really strange… Anyway, don’t stand at the door, come to my place.” After he murmured “strange” several times, Smith Zhao waved his hand behind him and motioned the Asian-looking soldiers to put away their weapons.
General Zhao’s name was Smith Zhao. Although he claimed to be a Chinese immigrant from the Rongcheng area, he obviously couldn’t even find the place on the map.
