Chapter 1,161 The Most Dangerous Place in Beijing
Ding Liwei's words made everyone focus on Jiang Chen.
No one would naively think that the NAC reinforcements were here to do good things. Now that Commander Ding made this statement clear, many people were relieved.
Anyway, it is something that will happen sooner or later, so it is better for everyone to solve it as soon as possible. To avoid having to wait until the trouble is resolved, the two sides will argue over the issue of interests, which will be a bit hurtful.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Jiang Chen said softly.
"Of course, after all, there is no free lunch in the world."
"I can understand. So, what are your conditions?" Looking at Jiang Chen, Ding Liwei continued, "In order to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future, we might as well discuss it first. What do you think?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
"Since Captain Ding has said so, of course I have no objection."
After a pause, Jiang Chen stretched out a finger and said, "First, you will bear the military expenses of the expeditionary force."
Ding Liwei said in a relaxed tone, "That's no problem. After all, you have traveled thousands of miles to lend a helping hand to us. Of course we will not let your efforts go in vain. I just don't know how much this military expenditure is?"
"Not much," Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Ten million Yajing is about the same."
There was an eerie silence on the conference table.
Ding Liwei's relaxed expression froze on his face, Manager Wan's mouth twitched, and Xu Tiannan, who was drinking tea, almost spit out the tea. The expressions on the faces of all the survivor force bosses present turned a bit ugly.
Ten million Yajing!
This is enough to buy more than two hundred power armors!
If we really take out so many sub-crystals, it’s not impossible to take them out, but I’m afraid that after taking them out, rats will run into the treasury of each big boss’ home!
"Ahem, Mr. Jiang, please don't joke." Xu Tiannan wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth and said with an unnatural smile, "Ten million Yajing... This, no matter how you say it, is too much, right?"
"Is it much?" Jiang Chen made a helpless expression, "Is this still a preferential price?"
"Discount?! Even the most powerful mercenary group in Shangjing City,
The hiring price is only one hundred crystals per soldier, but you are asking for ten million? ! Mr. Jiang, we sincerely offer to ask you to make an offer. You won’t eat in such an indecent manner, right? "Manager Wan couldn't help but said.
"Do those mercenaries have exoskeletons?"
With just one word, Jiang Chen silenced Manager Wan's complaints.
"Do they have power armor?"
"Are there any tanks?"
"Still have airships?"
Looking at the many survivor bosses who were looking increasingly embarrassed, Jiang Chen spread his hands.
"Since there is none, how can you expect us to pay the same price as them? Our NAC expeditionary soldiers have an exoskeleton, and the power armor has formed two reinforced companies. Now do you still think that 10 million sub-crystals are expensive? "
After saying that, Jiang Chen shook his head, touched his chin and said to himself, "Hey...how come I feel like I'm at a huge loss."
"Ten million is ten million, no loss, no loss," Xu Tiannan winked at Manager Wan and Captain Ding, and quickly agreed, looking at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face, "It's just this ten million There are just so many that we can’t take them out right away.”
If the money is gone, you can make it again. Send a hunting team to wander around the suburbs, and you can get tens of thousands of crystals back. But if his life is lost, no matter how much Yajing is stored in the warehouse, it will be used to make wedding clothes for those barbarians from the north!
"Archbishop Xu is easy to talk to," Jiang Chen chuckled and looked at the other leaders of the survivor forces, "What about you?"
"I have no objection." Someone said expressionlessly.
"Ten million, just ten million... Anyway, everyone contributes together." Someone else said with a dry smile.
"I suggest paying in proportion to the number of people. There are only five to six hundred people in our survivor colony, so we simply can't afford that many crystals." Someone said with a queasy look on his face.
"Nonsense! Your Xinrui Building is the richest in the entire Dongcheng! Five or six hundred people? Humph, I'm afraid you don't treat slaves as human beings, right?" Some people unceremoniously revealed the truth.
"..."
Listening to the quarrel on the conference table, Jiang Chen waved his hand to signal them to stop arguing.
"Then how to come up with these ten million, and how much each family will come up with, you can go back and have a meeting to discuss it yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't have Yajing. Real estate and industrial equipment are fine. We are not picky about food." Jiang Chen smiled, and after a moment of pause , put on a serious tone, and then said, "In addition, there is intelligence that the tanks may use the subway lines to move. Before they become familiar with the map, I suggest that you move all personnel and property to Ping'an Street recently. ."
Jiang Chen noticed that after he finished saying these words, instead of showing panic and fear on the faces of the various survivor group leaders, they showed strange expressions.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the big guys here were looking at each other without speaking, Jiang Chen asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Are you sure they will use the subway as a moving route?" Ding Liwei said with a strange expression.
"If nothing else," Jiang Chen reached out and clicked on his watch, enlarged the holographic screen, and gently pushed it to the center of the conference table, "Judging from the geographical location, they are right next to the Badaling entrance of the Line 35 subway. station. Unless they believe the thickness of the armor can defeat air superiority, the subway network in Beijing is their only option."
"The subway is not a good choice," Xu Tiannan said with the same weird expression, "I can guarantee it."
"Why?" Jiang Chen frowned.
Manager Wan sighed.
"You have just arrived in Shangjing City, so you may not know much about it. It is no exaggeration to say that the subway network is definitely the most dangerous place in the entire Shangjing City..."
…
Manager Wan was right, even a little modest.
It is no exaggeration to say that the subway network in Shangjing City is definitely the most dangerous area in the entire northern Pan Asia.
If you think about it carefully, you will know that after a disaster occurs, where else can be safer than the subway? Chu Nan even suggested to Jiang Chen that if the nuclear winter continued to worsen, simply move the NAC underground in Wanghai City. Not to mention, after the Beijing subway was renovated in the early 22nd century, it originally existed as a transportation war preparation channel and a strategic civil defense facility.
If the more than 40 subway lines in Shangjing City are so easy to use, why isn’t Ping An Street renamed Subway Street? Why don't the survivors hide underground?
The sound of gunfire was deafening, echoing in the dark subway passage.
"Why are there so many fucking zombies!" Yegor leaned half of his body out of the polar bear tank. Looking at the dense tide of corpses in front of him, he couldn't help but spat and cursed, "Sit tight, get ready to crush them." past!"
A dozen tanks formed a charging formation, firing at full speed, and rolled over the gathering corpses.
As early as when the reconnaissance company he sent came into contact with the survivors in Shangjing City, after studying the map of Shangjing City, he set his sights on the entrance of the No. 35 subway line near Badaling. After sending someone to find out what was going on under the subway, he immediately ordered the entire army to set out and move the camp to near the subway station.
When he saw the steel airship floating in the sky, he ordered the entire army to move to the subway station without saying a word.
It has to be said that the Shangjing subway after the 22nd century was really spacious. In the open area, eight tanks could run parallel to each other without any problems. After simple modifications by engineers, the waiting hall became a good place to set up camp.
However, this success did not last long.
Soon they encountered the first wave of corpses... (To be continued.)
