Chapter 1,396 Dangerous Mission

Shen Jing's eyelids moved slightly.

Consciousness gradually returns.

Opening his eyes, Xue Ax shook his groggy head and struggled to get up from the ground. The rifle fell not far away. He stumbled over, picked up the rifle from the ground, supported the ground with the butt of the rifle, and stood firm against the wall.

He couldn't see his fingers in the dark cave. He grinned at the corners of his dry mouth, took out a red burning stick from the backpack behind him, tore open the seal, lit it with a lighter, and threw it forward fiercely. .

The orange-red flame traced a trajectory in the air, rolled down to the ground, and lit up the entire space.

With the flickering firelight, Xue Ax narrowed his eyes and looked around.

The steep cliff was like a cage, imprisoning him in darkness and despair. From time to time, a few strands of fine quicksand fall from the air, like a veil across the dry ground, making a rustling sound on the ground. Directly ahead is a dark cave. It seems to be the only way out at the moment, but I don’t know where it leads...

"Where the hell is this?" He cursed and opened the EP on his left wrist. Like most survivors, his EP was equipped with a radio map mapping chip, which allowed him to conduct simple mapping of small-scale terrain without relying on satellites. However, this was of no use. The length of the cave in front of him was obviously longer than One hundred meters away, there was still darkness at the end of the map.

"Damn it!"

He punched the rock wall hard, and a hint of despair appeared on Xue Ax's face.

He has begun to regret it...

Just a month ago, he took over this task from Zhou Guoping. The yellow man promised him that if he found NATO's nuclear arsenal, he would be awarded the status of a NAC superior citizen and a whole box of cans.

For mercenaries serving the colonies, the status of a legal citizen is almost their dream, even Blood Ax, the leader of the looters, is no exception, let alone becoming a high-class citizen in one step.

Becoming a superior citizen means that you will never starve to death. Even if you do nothing, you can still enjoy the minimum level of protection. If you work a little harder and achieve some meritorious service in the army, it is not impossible to become a glorious knight.

But now I think all this is nonsense. If I can't get out of here alive, what difference does it make between being a knight or a plunderer?

Seeing the only way out, Blood Ax hesitated for a moment, loaded the automatic rifle, stepped forward, and picked up the incendiary rod from the ground.

Staying would definitely be a dead end. There was only one way before him now, and that was to keep moving forward.

No matter where it leads to heaven or hell, even if there is a deathclaw or other alien lair waiting in front, he can only keep walking.

In the end, the desire to live in my heart defeated the fear of darkness and the unknown.

"Farke! Farke!"

He swore two harsh words, as if to cheer himself up, and spit on the ground with all his strength. Determined, he tucked the butt of the gun under his right arm, held the burning stick that served as a torch in his left hand, and carefully groped deeper into the cave.

…

Black Skeleton was thrown into the colony's prison and should have been sentenced to death according to NAC laws, but Jiang Chen gave him a chance to atone for his sins.

If he can reveal something useful, it's not impossible to spare his life.

As for the plunderers, they were all demoted to slaves. The survivors who had been recruited at the Santa Monica Airport were immediately put to use. Led by Han Yue, the supervisor, he pointed his rifle at the looters and watched them work on the construction site.

All two hundred immigrants detained in the colony were rescued and, together with the more than a thousand survivors of the shelter, were temporarily placed in collective dormitories in the colony. Before the disappearance of the colonial residents, Jiang Chen had no work to arrange for them.

He is thinking about a question now.

If the disappearance of the residents of the colony was caused by human factors, then now that NAC has taken back the colony, will the disaster that happened once happen again?

Due to this concern, Jiang Chen did not immediately disband the mercenaries in the fortress.

He sent a personal guard who had worked in the logistics department to go to the warehouse. Jiang Chen arranged the work of counting materials and distributing loot, and then sent it to Sun Jiao and the others through the four-dimensional communication chip of the watch. A text message was sent, asking her to inform the expeditionary force's airship that it was ready to depart.

In order to restore the operation of the colony as soon as possible, he also asked Sun Jiao to speak to Wang Qing and transfer a group of "civil servants" from the Logistics Department. The military government is still very careful in retaining talents. Although such a big change has occurred in the colony, it will not be broken.

Most of the more than 30,000 people who disappeared were purchased slaves, and less than one-tenth of them immigrated from the NAC mainland. What is really a pity is the fifty units of power armor and the loss of more than five hundred soldiers.

But Jiang Chen felt that there was a high probability that they were all still alive.

Because there are more than 30,000 people, even if 30,000 chickens are killed, it is impossible to kill them silently.

Outside the Governor's Mansion, the sky had darkened.

"Thank you for saving us from those robbers... To be honest, with their guns on my head, I thought everything was over. Thanks to you, I really don't know how to thank you. That’s good.”

Standing in front of Jiang Chen was the supervisor of the shelter, a white man about forty years old named Matthew Hall. Judging from his behavior, temperament, and speech, this supervisor was very similar to the upper-class American people he had seen in Los Angeles, but he was very different from ordinary politicians and businessmen.

If I have to find a reference...

Probably very similar to those artists who are committed to charity.

"No need to thank me," Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Since you have appeared on NAC's land, according to NAC's laws, we must provide you with the minimum protection. What's more, the Black Skull Gang is ours enemy."

Just two hours ago, Matthew had already learned about the situation in this world from Zheng Shanhe, who was responsible for explaining the situation to these blue-skinned people. Although he had reservations about the political system of the NAC military government, Matthew had to admit that it would not work to continue the pre-war system in this wasteland.

What's more, the people of NAC saved them. Without better removal, he represented all the residents of the refuge and agreed to NAC's invitation and decided to settle in Outpost Town... which was NAC's colony in North America.

"No matter what, I still have to thank you! In addition, there are some things in the shelter that we prepared for post-war reconstruction. I want to take a few people back to get those things locked in the warehouse. If it’s convenient, I hope to borrow three trucks because it’s a lot of stuff,” Matthew said.

"That's no problem. I will send dozens of mercenaries to follow you."

"Thank you!" Matthew said sincerely.

"You're welcome."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said with a smile.

What's there to be so polite about?

Anyway, no matter what good things you go to get, they will be used in my colony.

After explaining a few words to Zheng Shanhe, Jiang Chen ordered him to send dozens of mercenaries to drive into the stolen trucks and escort Matthew and several other shelter residents back to the shelter. Then he turned towards the direction of the Governor's Mansion. Go.
