Chapter 1399 - Collect Money From Both Sides (1/2)

Jiang Chen sat in the office, looked at the warm sunlight from outside the window, and suddenly spoke.

“Zheng.”

“Is something wrong?”

“In Wanghai, it normally snows by October?”

Zheng Shanhe was taken aback for a moment, and after he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Since he just arrived in North America, he really didn’t notice this detail. It was already mid-October and it seemed unreasonable for the first snow to have not arrived yet.

“Could it be the climate?” Zheng Shanhe asked.

“Impossible. Nuclear winter should be a global phenomenon,” Jiang Chen shook his head. “And even if we disregard nuclear winter, due to the influence of the Pacific Rim monsoon, the climate phenomenon that occurs west of the Rocky Mountains will be very likely brought to the other side of the Pacific Ocean by the monsoon.”

The reason why this problem suddenly came to mind was mainly that during a video call with Sun Jiao and the others yesterday, Jiang Chen discovered that it was already snowing in Wanghai.

At that time, Sun Jiao pointed the camera towards the sky outside the window, and the white snow, under the action of the gravitons, slowly retreated towards the horizon along the edge of the Holy Shield like ripples.

The Holy Shield was indeed the leader in the urban defense system. In the nuclear winter, the Holy Shield system played a pivotal role. Most of the temperature-carrying medium was blocked from the barrier formed by the graviton. The only heat loss was due to the gas exchange and the heat radiation from the inside to the outside, and the shield almost trapped the glimpse of fall from escaping.

The orange shield was like a greenhouse that divided the inside and outside of the city into two distinct worlds. People inside the shield couldn’t feel the cold of previous years at all. Jiang Chen was also quite relieved .

The problem that had plagued the development of NAC has finally been perfectly solved.

For survivors living in the wasteland, snowfall was simply a disaster. Not only because of fuel shortages, mutants hibernating, lack of materials, as well as other issues, the snowfall that passed through the radioactive dust itself carried a decent amount of radiation. Every winter, the consumption of anti-radiation materials and iodine was quite significant.

In the video, Sun Jiao told Jiang Chen some good news. According to the statistics of the Administration Department, there were a lot of survivors in Wanghai this winter; most of them were merchants from Shangjing and the south, and mercenaries who came with the merchants.

After the winter, most people would choose to stay, and NAC would welcome a new wave of immigration. With the bonus of population growth, the military government’s new round of expansion plan for the Sixth Street could also start ahead of schedule.

Withdrawing his gaze from the window, Jiang Chen temporarily set aside the climate issue and turned his attention to the report in his hand.

The progress over these last two days was quite amazing.

After investigating the mud crab breeding base, his guards found the abandoned cargo ship that was stranded on the shore, and a memorandum of action backed up in a knight EP terminal, confirming that the colony was carrying out a mission against the mud crabs. During the mission, they found containers inside the cargo ship with abnormal radiation values.

These containers were put together with containers full of toys, and the toys were all Disney dolls without exception, and the outside of the container was written with a big letter D in black paint.

The clues were beginning to connect.

Then, as long as they could trace the source of these containers, they could definitely find something. It was not difficult to determine the destination of these containers. Whether it was the port authority or the shipping company, they would all have backup data for these containers.

Just then, the signal light of the watch flickered and interrupted Jiang Chen’s thoughts.

When he pressed the button, the screen flashed, and the picture changed to the front entrance of the colony. The guard on duty at the door saluted and reported.

“There is a scavenger named Gris outside. He claims to be hired by you and has returned.”

“Let him in,” Jiang Chen said immediately.

“Yes!”

Soon, Gris was let in.

Accompanied by two recruits, he was taken to the governor’s office.

“Where is the person?” Jiang Chen asked as he looked at Gris standing alone.
