Chapter 986 Preparations Before Departure

"If it's convenient, can you come to Moscow?"

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen did not refuse Natasha's invitation.

He needs to go there in person to make a decision. It must be an issue that is not convenient to discuss on the phone or to appoint diplomats to discuss. And his intuition told him that the content of the discussion must be related to the recent precarious situation in Europe.

Russia is one of the strategic partners of Star Ring Trade. The cooperation between the two parties in the economic field is second only to China, and the cooperation in the military field is even higher than that of China. From this perspective alone, it was indeed necessary for him to go there in person.

The unification of Europe is also not in the interest of the Star Ring trade.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen looked at Ayesha, gently held her face with his hand, and said softly with a smile.

"sorry to bother you."

"Don't worry about it," Aisha's hand gently covered Jiang Chen's hand, her cheek was rubbed gently, she closed her eyes and said softly, "It's my honor to share your worries."

"Shouldn't this be said by a gentleman to a lady?" Jiang Chen teased.

Ayesha smiled slightly, activated optical invisibility and disappeared in the office.

Ever since she played a virtual reality stand-alone game called "Assassin's Creed: Phantom" in the Phantom helmet, she seemed to have fallen in love with this way of saying goodbye using "stealth" instead.

There was a soft touch on my forehead, and soon a gust of wind blew past the door of the office.

Jiang Chen reached out and touched his forehead, with a smile on his lips.

This little girl secretly kissed herself when she left...

…

The further east you go, the weaker the influence of the Freemasons becomes, but even the KGB cannot guarantee that Moscow, the capital of Eastern Europe, does not have any Masonic spies.

Risks and returns coexist.

In order to ensure the safety of her trip to Moscow, Ayesha will go to Moscow first. Without offending allies, maximize the use of the local intelligence network established by ghost agents to eliminate potential dangers for Jiang Chen's visit.

The visit was scheduled for a week later in the name of discussing submarine power cables.

Before going to Russia, Jiang Chen was not completely idle, but returned to the apocalypse...

In early April, the heavy snowfall over Wanghai City finally stopped, and the snow covering the ruins of the city also showed signs of melting.

Last year's winter came earlier than before, and we had more fun than before.

The entire earth is like a computer that has been overwhelmed by various countries. After running with fever for hundreds of years, it was finally restarted because of the nuclear war that spread around the world.

Facts have confirmed the Twilight Church's speculation. After many years of silence, the world has ushered in a Little Ice Age that far exceeds that of the Middle Ages. A disaster caused by nuclear winter swept the entire earth with howling wind and snow.

During the coldest days, Jiang Chen basically spent time here in the present world, only occasionally coming back to eat hot pot with the girls, so he didn't have an intuitive feeling about how harsh last winter was. According to Sun Jiao, Wanghai City and Yizhou Island Colony were relatively okay, but Hongcheng and Wushi further inland had many survivors frozen to death.

The Little Ice Age ultimately had a certain impact on the development of Block 6.

This settlement of survivors, which bills itself as a "trade center" and connects the north and south, has been cast into the shadow of depression due to the impact of last year's cold winter. Although the market in the Sixth District still maintains a considerable degree of vitality due to the irreplaceable grain trade, the growth of the population has slowed down.

People tend to go south to find a suitable place to live.

At this moment, Jiang Chen finally understood why the Northern United Region wanted to forcefully declare itself even at the expense of lengthening the already fragile supply lines.

It's not that they're crazy, it's that they have no choice but to do it.

Inheriting the armed forces of pre-war Pan-Asian cooperation, they united the mutants who fled from Hongcheng to the vicinity of Wu City, and they succeeded for a time.

If it weren't for the breakthrough in magnetic confinement technology, coupled with the "powerful" industrial capabilities of the Sixth Block, which allowed the frontline troops to successfully install plasma cannons, they might have gained a foothold in Wu City and might be attacking Hongcheng now. They even drove the tanks to the doorstep of NAC - Hangzhou.

But there aren’t that many ifs…

When Jiang Chen returned to the apocalypse, the expected welcome did not happen, and the villa was quiet.

Sun Jiao and Sun Xiaorou need to handle matters in the Marshal's Mansion for him when he returns to the living world. Although Sun Jiao, who is accustomed to being casual, hates these troublesome things, she can't bear it for Jiang Chen. As for Lin Ling, she happened to go out to Camp 27 for research work.

In other words, the only one left at home now is Yao Yao, who lives in the boudoir every day...

This information was exactly what Jiang Chen heard from the little girl.

"Um...can you get off my lap?"

With the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, Jiang Chen scratched his cheek awkwardly.

The current state is that Yao Yao, wearing a floral dress and pajamas, is sitting on his lap with a happy face, happily dangling her two little feet wrapped in white silk, and even the little bunny slippers have been kicked aside by her. .

The light fragrance spreads along the fluffy hair, the soft voice seems to carry a sweet aroma, and the watery eyes like a deer sparkle with hope that is simply irresistible.

"Can...can I hold Yao Yao for a little longer?" Yao Yao turned his head slightly and prayed softly.

"No problem! It doesn't matter how long it takes!" Jiang Chen replied immediately.

Yes, it’s impossible to say no!

Even Jiang Chen, who occasionally showed the "S" side that he had hidden deep in his heart, couldn't bear to see the lonely expression on the little angel's face.

Thinking that there was nothing to do anyway, Jiang Chen sighed, rubbed Yao Yao's hair lovingly, silently recited "I am not a Lolita" a dozen times in his heart, and decided to spend more time around the little girl. Stay a while.

Feeling the warmth coming from her head, Yao Yao's face became more satisfied and she hummed happily.

The sound of electricity running through the chassis was faintly heard, and Jiang Chen looked around Yao Yao's boudoir. Little has changed here over the years. In addition to the beds and furniture being replaced with new products "imported" from New Zealand, the pink girly-style wallpaper and the metallic-smelling electronic components are still incompatible.

There are more and more books on the bookshelf. Jiang Chenguang gets a headache just by looking at the names. He thinks they should be relatively high-end computer professional books.

While lamenting Yao Yao's growth, Jiang Chen couldn't help but caress her hair and sighed.

"Speaking of which, Yao Yao hasn't grown taller at all?"

"Woo!"

Being poked in a painful spot, his little shoulders shook, the corners of Yao Yao's mouth slightly pursed, and his throat whined in frustration.

"You won't grow taller if you stay in your room all the time. Remember to go out and exercise more, or at least bask in the sun in the backyard..." At this point, Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the sunlight that passed through the yellow-green tone of radioactive dust, It seems not as healthy as indoor lighting.

Yao Yao buried his little head with some grievance and murmured in a low voice.

"Ugh... Big brother, don't you like smaller girls?"

This is no longer a relatively small category, it would be an understatement to say it is too young...

Besides, that’s not the point at all, okay!

Jiang Chen couldn't help but tap her head lightly with his finger.

"I'm worried about your health, why did you think of that!"

"Eh hehe."

Putting his hands together to cover the big hand caressing his head, Yao Yao had a sweet smile on his lips.

Although she was scolded, she always felt warm in her heart.

It's like the empty space has been filled... (To be continued.):
