Chapter 1,400 Two Heads Collect Money

Sitting in the office, Jiang Chen looked at the warm sunlight outside the window and suddenly said.

"Old Zheng."

"What's wrong?"

"In October this year, it would have snowed in Wanghai City, right?"

Zheng Shanhe was stunned for a moment, and 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's already mid-October, and it's really unreasonable that the first snow hasn't fallen yet.

"Could it be due to the climate?" Zheng Shanhe asked.

"Impossible, nuclear winter should be global," Jiang Chen shook his head, "And even if nuclear winter is ignored, there is a high probability that climate phenomena that occur west of the Rocky Mountains due to the influence of the Pacific Rim monsoon will also Carried across the Pacific by the monsoons.”

The reason why this question suddenly came to mind was that while having a video call with Sun Jiao and the others yesterday, Jiang Chen discovered that it was already snowing in Wanghai City.

At that time, Sun Jiao pointed the camera at the sky outside the window. The white snow was like layers of ripples. Under the blocking effect of gravitons, it slowly retreated along the edge of the holy shield toward the horizon.

It is worthy of being a model in urban defense systems. In the face of nuclear winter, the Holy Shield system plays a very obvious role. Most of the temperature-carrying medium is blocked outside the barrier formed by gravitons. The only thing that causes heat loss is the gas exchange and the thermal radiation from the inside to the outside, which almost retains the fleeting autumn.

The orange-yellow shield is like a greenhouse, dividing the inside and outside of the city into two distinct worlds. People inside the shield can't feel the cold at all in previous years. Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen was also quite pleased.

The problems that have been plaguing the development of NAC have finally been perfectly solved.

For survivors living in the wasteland, snowfall is a disaster. Not only due to fuel shortages, alien species overwintering, lack of supplies, etc., the snowfall passing through the radioactive fallout itself carries a considerable amount of radiation. Every winter, the consumption of anti-radiation agents, radiation-reducing agents, and iodine and other materials is considerable. amazing.

In the video, Sun Jiao told Jiang Chen good news. According to statistics from the Administration Department, there are many survivors who came to Wanghai City to spend the winter this year. Most of them are businessmen from Shangjing City and the south, as well as mercenaries who came with the caravan.

I believe that when this winter is over, many people will choose to stay, and NAC will usher in a new wave of immigrants. And with the dividends from population growth, the military government's new round of expansion plan for the Sixth District can also start early.

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from the window. He put aside the climate issue for the time being and turned his attention to the report in his hand.

The progress in the past two days has been quite amazing.

Through the investigation of the mire crab breeding base, his personal guards followed the clues and found the abandoned freighter stranded on the shore, as well as an action memorandum backed up in a certain knight EP terminal, confirming that the colony was conducting operations on mire crabs. During the encirclement and suppression, cargo boxes with abnormal radiation values ​​were discovered in the freighter.

These cargo boxes were placed together with a group of containers filled with toys, and those toys were all Disney dolls.

There is even a big letter D written in black paint on the outside of the container.

The clues have matched up.

Next, as long as we follow the source of those containers, we will definitely 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, they should have backups of this batch of goods.

At this moment, the signal light of the watch flashed, interrupting Jiang Chen's thoughts.

After pressing the connect button, the screen flashed and turned to the main entrance of the colony. The sentry on duty at the door gave a military salute to the screen and reported to him.

"There is a scavenger named Gris outside. He claims to be hired by you and comes to report back to you."

"Let him come in." Jiang Chen said immediately.

"yes!"

Soon, Gris was let in.

Accompanied by two recruits, he was taken to the governor's office.

"Where are the people?" Jiang Chen asked, looking at Gris standing there alone.

"I tried looking for him," Gries said, "but he's not on the West Coast."

"So, you gained nothing?" Jiang Chen asked with a half-smile.

Seeing that the rich employer's tone was not kind, Gris didn't care about selling out, and quickly added, "It's too much to say that I got nothing. Although I didn't find his person, I found him on the West Coast. His whereabouts were all figured out! After leaving Chinatown, he took about twenty of his 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 He encountered a swarm of mutant scorpions and encountered a tribe of mutants..."

"So, you mean, he is dead?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No, just the opposite," Gris shook his head vigorously. "There is a high probability that he is still alive, and he took the last few gunmen to bypass the suburbs of Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam, and redirected towards the Grand Canyon. go ahead."

"What's he doing in the Grand Canyon?"

"Rumors, just rumors!" Gris continued, "I heard it a long time ago in a tavern in Liberty City, saying that NATO built a concentration camp in the Grand Canyon before the war to detain those accused of espionage. of Pan-Asian immigrants. But the truth is that there were no concentration camps there at all, and those Pan-Asian immigrants did not commit any crimes. Instead, they were forcibly recruited by NATO strategic weapons forces to the Great Rift Valley to build a secret military facility. !”

"What facilities?" Jiang Chen frowned.

"No one knows!" Gris shook his head. "Maybe it's a super weapon? Or maybe it's a military base of the NATO missile force? No one would go to the Grand Canyon with nothing to do. Almost half of Nevada and Utah died. Claws will go there to give birth to their babies. It’s not the Grand Canyon at all, but a veritable Death Valley!”

Jiang Chen touched his chin and fell into thinking.

The office suddenly became quiet. Gris swallowed and felt nervous.

After a while, he tentatively opened his mouth and asked.

"Then... look at my reward."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot about this."

Smiling, Jiang Chen opened the drawer, took out a box of bottle caps and slapped it on the table.

Hearing the crisp sound, Gris was overjoyed. He took the bottle cap box and thanked him repeatedly. After getting Jiang Chen's permission, he turned around and exited the office.

As soon as the office door closed, the smile on Jiang Chen's face gradually turned cold.

Looking at Zheng Shanhe standing next to him, he ordered directly.

"Take a team of people and follow him."

"Do you suspect there is something wrong with him?" Zheng Shanhe's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"It's strange that he has no problem." Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed into slits.

They have already gone outside of California, but they dare to come back without finding anyone. And the most important point, Jiang Chen really couldn't figure out how this guy could find out the whereabouts of Blood Ax so clearly. With so few clues, even if Holmes came here, he would probably be blinded.

There is only one possibility, and that is that an "insider" directly told him this information that could not be investigated.

And there is an 80% chance that this person is the mastermind behind the abduction of the colonial residents!

"I'll go right away!" Without any nonsense, Zheng Shanhe immediately turned around and walked out of the office.

"Remember to find a few people with strong anti-investigation capabilities, and they must be familiar with this area. There should be experts in this field among those mercenaries. Don't be stingy with the reward." Jiang Chen casually told the captain of the Guards who was walking out. Two sentences.

The office door closed again, and this time Jiang Chen was alone in the room.

He stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the hurried figure outside the window, a sneer gradually appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.

How dare you collect money from both ends?

Hope you don't regret it.
