Chapter 1395 - The Dangerous Mission (2/2)
He was thinking about a possibility now.
If the disappearance of the inhabitants of the colony was caused by human factors, then now that the NAC had recaptured the colony, would the disaster that happened once happen again?
Out of this concern, Jiang Chen did not immediately disband the mercenaries in the fortress.
A guard who had worked in the logistics department was sent to the warehouse. Jiang Chen gave him the job of counting materials and distributing loot, and then sent a message through the interdimensional communication chip to Sun Jiao. The message was to inform her that the airships of the expeditionary force could take off.
In order to restore the operation of the colony as soon as possible, he also instructed Sun Jiao to speak with Wang Qing and transfer a group of “civil servants” from the logistics department. The military government had considered the size of the talent pool carefully. Despite the drastic change at the colony, a transfer of talents would not impede the operation of the logistics department.
Most of the thirty thousand people who had gone missing were bought slaves, and less than one-tenth of those were immigrants from NAC. The only real pity was the fifty power armors and the five hundred soldiers.
But Jiang Chen felt that they were probably still alive.
Because it was more thirty thousand people. Even if thirty thousand chickens were killed, it was impossible to do so silently.
It was already dark outside the Governor’s Mansion.
“Thank you for saving us from those robbers… Seriously, I thought everything was done for when they pointed their guns against our head. Thanks to you, I really don’t know how to thank you.”
The supervisor of the fallout shelter stood in front of Jiang Chen. He was a white man about forty years old named Matthew Hall. Judging from his manners, temperament, and speech, this supervisor was very similar to the upper-class people he has met in Los Angeles in the modern world. However, he seemed quite different from normal politicians and businessmen.
If he had to find a comparison…
He was very similar to those artists who were committed to charity and philanthropy.
“Don’t thank me,” Jiang Chen smiled lightly, “Since you have appeared on NAC’s land, in accordance with NAC law, we must provide you with minimum protection. What’s more, the Black Skull Gang is our enemy.”
Just two hours ago, Matthew had already learned about the world from Zheng Shanhe, who explained the situation to the blue skins. Although Matthew had reservations about the NAC military government, he also had to admit that following the pre-war regime on this wasteland would not work.
Especially since NAC saved them, since they did not have a better place to go, on behalf of all the fallout shelter residents, he agreed to NAC’s invitation and decided to settle in Outpost Town… or rather, the NAC colony in North America.
“Regardless of what you say, I still have to thank you! In addition, there are still some things in the fallout shelter that we have prepared for reconstruction after the war. I want to take a few people back and retrieve the things locked in the warehouse. If it is convenient, I hope I can borrow three trucks because there is a lot of stuff,” Matthew said.
“This is no problem. I will send some mercenaries with you.”
“Thank you!” Matthew said sincerely.
“You’re welcome.”
Jiang Chen waved his hand and said with a smile.
Why so polite?
Anyway, whatever good things you get, they will also be used in my colony.
After Jiang Chen spoke a few words to Zheng Shanhe, he ordered him to send dozens of mercenaries to drive the looted trucks and escort Matthew and several other shelter residents. He then walked to the Governor’s Mansion.
