Sitting in the office, Jiang Chen looked at the warm sunlight outside the window and suddenly spoke.
Old Zheng.
What's wrong?
In October of previous years, it should have snowed in Shanghai, right?
Zheng Shanhe was slightly stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Not long after he came to North America, he really didn't notice this detail.It is already mid-October and the first snow has not yet fallen by this time, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.
Could it be because of the climate?Zheng Shanhe asked.
It is impossible, nuclear winter should be global.Jiang Chen shook his head, and even if he put aside the nuclear winter, the climate phenomenon west of the Rocky Mountains that occurs due to the Pacific Rim Monsoon is highly likely to be brought to the other side of the Pacific by the monsoon.
The reason why I suddenly thought of this problem was mainly because when I was having a video call with Liu Yifei and the others yesterday, Jiang Chen found that it was already snowing in Shanghai.
At that time, Liu Yifei pointed the camera at the sky outside the window. The white snow was like layers of ripples. Under the blockage of gravitons, it slowly retreated towards the horizon along the edge of the holy shield.
It is worthy of being a model in the urban defense system. When facing the nuclear winter, the role of the Holy Shield system plays a very obvious role.
Most of the medium carrying the temperature is blocked from the barrier formed by gravitons. The only thing that causes heat loss is the point of gas exchange and heat radiation from the inside to the outside, which almost retains the fleeting autumn.
The orange shield is like a greenhouse, dividing the inner and outer cities into two distinct worlds. People who are in the shield cannot feel the coldness of previous years at all.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen was also quite relieved.
The problems that have always plagued the development of NAC have finally been perfectly solved.
For survivors living in wasteland, snowfall is a disaster.
Not only because of fuel shortage, alien wintering, scarcity of materials, etc., the snowfall through radiation dust itself carries a good amount of radiation, and the consumption of radiation-resistant and slurry-reducing materials in winter is quite amazing.
In the video, Liu Yifei told Jiang Chen good news.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Administration, there are many survivors coming to Shanghai for winter this year, most of which are merchants from Beijing and the south, as well as mercenaries who come with the caravan.
I believe that when this winter passes, many people will choose to stay, and NAC will usher in a new round of immigration.
Taking advantage of the dividends of population growth, the military government's new round of expansion plans for the Sixth Block can also be started in advance.
With a look out of the window, Jiang Chen put the climate problem aside for the time being and turned his attention to the report in his hand.
The progress in the past two days is quite amazing.
Through investigation of the mud crab breeding base, his personal guard followed the clues to find the abandoned cargo ship stranded on the shore, and a memorandum of action backed up in a Knight EP terminal, confirming that the colony had found cargo boxes with abnormal radiation values in the freighter when encircling the mud crab.
These cargo boxes are placed together with a group of containers full of toys, and those toys are Disney dolls without exception, and a large D letter is written in black paint on the outside of the container.
The clue has already met.
Next, as long as you follow the source of those containers, you will definitely be able to find something.
It is actually not difficult to find out where this batch of goods ended up. Whether it is the Port Authority or the shipping company, there should be backups of this batch of goods.
At this moment, the signal light of the watch flashed, interrupting Jiang Chen's thoughts.
Press the switch button, the screen flashed, and turned to the main entrance of the colony. The sentry on duty at the door saluted the screen and reported to him.
There is a scavenger named Gris outside, who claims to be hired by you to come and report to you.
Let him in.Jiang Chen said immediately.
yes!
Soon, Gris was released.
Accompanied by two recruits, he was taken to the Governor's office.
Where is the person?Jiang Chen asked looking at Gris standing there alone.
I've tried looking for it.Gris said, but he is not on the West Coast.
So, you got nothing?Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Seeing that the rich employer had a bad tone, Gris didn't care about keeping him in a silence and quickly added that it was too much to say that he had gained nothing. Although I didn't find him, I found out his whereabouts on the West Coast area!After leaving Chinatown, he led about twenty younger brothers and walked into the desert along the road from California to Nevada.Along the way, they suffered heavy losses. Not only did they encounter a mutant scorpion, but they also encountered a mutant tribe...
So, you mean, he is dead?Jiang Chen asked.
No, it's the opposite.Gris shook his head vigorously. He was most likely still alive, and he took the last few gunmen to divert the suburbs of Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam and move towards the Grand Canyon.
What did he do in the Grand Canyon?
Rumors are just rumors!Gris went on to say, I heard it a long time ago in the Tavern in Liberty City, saying that it was a concentration camp built in the Grand Canyon before the NATO war to detain pan-Asian immigrants charged with espionage.But the truth is that there are no concentration camps there, and those pan-Asian immigrants did not commit any crimes, but were forced to conquer the Rift Valley by NATO strategic weapons forces to build a secret military facility!
What facilities?Jiang Chen frowned.
No one knows!Gris shook his head and said, maybe it was some super weapon?It may also be a military base for NATO missile forces?No one will run to the Grand Canyon without any worries, and almost half of Nevada and Utah's dead claws will run to the vicinity.It wasn't a grand canyon there at all, but a veritable valley of death!
Touching his chin, Jiang Chen fell into thinking.
The office suddenly became quiet, and Gris swallowed and started to swell with anxiety.
After a while, he spoke tentatively and asked.
Then...you see my reward.
Oh, sorry, I almost forgot about this.
After a smile, Jiang Chen opened the drawer, took out a box of bottle caps and slapped it on the table.
Listening to the crisp sound, Gris was overjoyed, took the bottle cap and thanked him repeatedly, and after receiving Jiang Chen's permission, he turned around and left the office.
As soon as the office door was closed, the smile on Jiang Chen's face gradually became cold.
Looking at Zheng Shanhe who was standing next to him, he ordered directly.
Lead a team of people to follow him.
Do you suspect he has a problem?Zheng Shanhe's eyes suddenly became sharp.
It's strange that he has no problem.Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed into a slit.
They have already walked outside California, but they dared to come back if they didn't find it.
And the most important point is that Jiang Chen really couldn't see how this guy found out the whereabouts of the Blood Axe so clearly.
With such limited clues, even if Sherlock Holmes comes here, he will probably have to be blinded.
There is only one possibility, that is, an insider will tell him the information that cannot be investigated directly.
And this person has an 80% chance of being the mastermind behind the abductee of the colonial residents!
I'll go now!Without nonsense, Zheng Shanhe immediately turned around and walked out of the office.
Remember to find a few people with strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities and must be familiar with this area. Those mercenaries should have good players in this field, and don’t be stingy with rewards.Jiang Chen casually gave a few words to the captain of the personal guard walking outward.
The office door was closed again, and Jiang Chen was the only one left in the room this time.
He got up and walked to the window, looking at the hurried figure outside the window, Jiang Chen gradually curled a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
How dare you collect money from both ends?
I hope you don't regret it.
Old Zheng.
