Chapter 1388 Smith Zhao
? Securing the airfield is usually the first priority, even before investigating the situation in the colony.
After all, only if the runway is clear can they evacuate North America under any circumstances.
The surrendered looters were escorted to the airport, and while Zheng Shanhe was lecturing them, Jiang Chen led a few personal guards to clear out all the zombies in the airport building.
These zombies wandering around the airport were originally kept here by the airport gang's predators as gatekeepers. It must be said that these stupid living dead are quite good at finding traces of living people. However, Jiang Chen and the others didn't need these nuisances. They could let drones take care of things like guarding the door, so they cleaned them up easily.
It was just past noon, and the Sky G100, which had already returned once, visited the west coast of North America again and dropped off airdrop supplies.
In this batch of supplies across the Pacific, in addition to equipment for repairing the runway, several large boxes of cans, self-heating lunch boxes, and ammunition that Jiang Chen was not convenient to take out directly, there were also portable artillery for the T-3 power armor, and the rod Type 57 electromagnetic gun dedicated to N-100 armor.
In addition, Jiang Chen also found another good thing in the supply box.
It was a lunch box with a little rabbit pattern on it, and it was still warm to the touch. There was a note attached to the side of the box. Seeing the beautiful handwriting, Jiang Chen immediately guessed who it was. He blushed and hid the lunch box. He walked to a place where no one was around, opened the lid and started working hard. stand up.
There is no need to guess, this lunch box is the masterpiece of Yao Yao, she is the best cook in the family, and Sun Jiao cannot be counted on. In the lunch box, in addition to the bacon and grilled sausages that Jiang Chen likes to eat recently, the white rice surrounded by broccoli is also dotted with a few cuttlefish roasted into an attractive red color.
It has to be said that the little girl's cooking skills are getting better and better. When she was enjoying her meal, Jiang Chen simply took out a can of beer from the storage space. While drinking the beer, he cleaned up his lunch and wiped it. Mouth jumped into the power armor again and walked towards the airport.
At this time, Zheng Shanhe and the others had basically finished eating and were sitting next to the track to rest. As for the predators, half a tube of nutritional mixture had been consumed at this moment, and they were carrying equipment and working on the bumpy track.
Jiang Chen walked over to Zheng Shanhe and said hello, and then looked at Jessica who was squatting aside.
As a slave to the marshal himself, Jiang Chen granted her permission not to work in the airport in the bright sun with those predators.
"Want to eat?" I heard the sound of swallowing and spitting.
Jiang Chen deliberately picked up a can from the supply box, threw it in his hand, and said with a sinister smile, "Just tell me if you want to eat it. How will I know if you don't tell me."
Although she knew that Jiang Chen was probably teasing her, Jessica still looked at him with a flattering expression and looked pitifully at the can in his hand.
"It's a pity that I forgot to bring dog food." He threw the can back into the supply box. Jiang Chen sat on the steps next to him. As Jessica's eyes changed from disappointment to surprise, he threw a pack of compressed biscuits into her arms. , "I'm going to Chinatown for business in a while, please show me the way."
Jiang Chen understood the principle of giving a sweet date after a beating.
When dealing with indigenous people, you naturally have to rely on them. Since he was wearing the collar, Jiang Chen wasn't afraid of her running away or playing any tricks. What is needed now is for her to work hard. At this time, a pack of biscuits or instant noodles is more useful than anything else.
"Are you going to Chinatown?" The hand that was about to tear open the packaging bag stopped, and a trace of fear appeared on Jessica's face, and she said tremblingly, "I can't go there, they will definitely kill me if they see me. Let Hardy show you the way, taking me there will only cause you trouble."
"Hadi's leg is broken. You have to find someone to carry him to take him there." Jiang Chen waved his hand impatiently, "Don't worry, there is an old saying in China that when you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. Since you have this hanging around your neck The collar, no one can touch it before I leave North America. Well, just in case, let me ask by the way, what on earth did you do?"
"I stole their boss's bottle cap." Jessica said carefully.
"this one?"
"I even kicked his balls out..."
"..."
…
Chinatown, located in Santa Monica, is not the Chinatown of Los Angeles in the traditional sense, but a Chinese community with a tourist nature. In addition to a few antique Chinese-style buildings, there are also many buildings from other East Asian countries.
After the war, due to the influx of a large number of Chinese refugees in Los Angeles, the local Chinese gave full play to their fine tradition of holding together and helping their compatriots in the face of difficulties, and eventually developed into a local force that cannot be underestimated in this area. Although it is not comparable to the Minutemen and the National Guard in this area of the West Coast, it is far from comparable to ordinary survivor settlements or predator gangs.
By coincidence, after questioning, Jiang Chen discovered that among the prisoners kidnapped by the airport gang, there happened to be people from Chinatown. Although he is just an ordinary survivor with no identity, he can still be regarded as a stepping stone.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Chen did not take Jessica with him, but asked her to point out the road on the map. Then he took the six personal guards and the freed prisoner to a straight-line distance of about Chinatown is two kilometers away.
Standing in front of the entrance of Chinatown, what stood in front of everyone was a huge iron gate and two soldiers guarding the gate.
"Stop! The front is Chinatown territory! Caravan please show your certificate, and the rest will disperse immediately!" Standing at the entrance of the street, two soldiers wearing exoskeletons held rifles at their waists and looked at Jiang Chen and others warily. .
Judging from the guys on them, the equipment in Chinatown should be pretty good. Although these two exoskeletons look like handmade products poked out by a welding gun at first glance, they are certainly much better than nothing.
After a cursory glance at the heavy machine gun at the door, Jiang Chen had an idea of Chinatown's strength. Just as he was about to speak, the rescued Chinatown boy behind him took two steps forward and spoke.
"Zhu! I'm A Ping from next door!"
The soldier named Zhuzhu widened his eyes and stared at his old friend in front of him in disbelief.
"You, are you really Aping? Wait, weren't you captured by those bandits at the airport?"
"The Airport Gang has been wiped out! I came out because of them!" Having said this, Wang Ping turned around and glanced at Jiang Chen gratefully, then stretched out his hand to introduce to the soldier named Zhuzi, "They are Our own people, compatriots from across the Pacific Ocean!”
Looking at Jiang Chen and the people behind Jiang Chen, the soldier's eyes were obviously a bit surprised. After making eye contact with the comrades next to him, he stepped forward and clasped his fists with his hands and said, "It turns out we are compatriots. Just now I'm sorry. Please wait a moment. I'll go ask General Zhao for instructions immediately."
After leaving these words, the soldier named Zhuzhu turned around and walked into the guard room, grabbing the phone from the wall.
Before long, the door slowly opened.
Surrounded by a group of soldiers, a man also wearing an exoskeleton walked out from behind the door. He smiled heartily and extended his right hand in a friendly manner towards Jiang Chen.
"Haha, welcome to Chinatown, my friend who has come from afar. I'm Smith Zhao. I hope you'll forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar."
