Chapter 282
“Do we really still have hope?”
At the bridgehead in the north of the city, the soldiers defending here to block the mutants are carrying the few remaining explosive packs, preparing to blow up this last bridge.
This was originally their last hope, but because the mutants were recently discovered to be contagious, they had to blow up the bridge to prevent more people from being infected and mutated.
However, this also means that their last channel connecting to the outside world is gone.
"Can we really wait for support?"
After hearing the soldier's question, Chen Jianjiang, who was in charge of the bridge bombing mission, fell silent.
He wanted to say that it was definitely possible, but... wasn't that just deceiving himself?
But at this moment——
"Look! What is that?"
Hearing the noise, Chen Jianjiang looked in the direction of the crowd and was surprised to find that there was an aircraft flying over from the opposite side of the river!
"Is support coming?"
"Are we saved?"
"What type of fighter is this? It's so cool, I've never seen one before!"
As everyone watched with anticipation, the aircraft circled over the north of the city, seemingly observing the situation below.
More people noticed the aircraft.
Finally, the aircraft circled back and slowly landed in an open space near the guards.
He originally thought that this aircraft was used to deliver supplies, but when he saw its small cabin, Chen Jianjiang knew that he was wrong.
Although it is a bit disappointing, it is exciting news anyway to be able to get in touch with the outside world.
He suspended the bridge bombing operation, asked other soldiers to continue defending, and then took two people with him to meet the enemy.
In Chen Jianjiang's imagination, the people on board the aircraft should be a well-trained special forces unit. However, the hatch of the aircraft slowly opened, and the person who walked out was——
A man and a woman wearing masks, and the man's appearance is very strange, as if there is a pillow behind his head...?
"Who are you?" Chen Jianjiang and others immediately became alert.
"Haha, I'm Jin Mang from Ping'an Chamber of Commerce! There are still so many people alive, not bad!" Tang Sheng said with a smile.
Although they were a step behind and could only be called "Pillow Superman" and "Superwoman" in the employee forum, Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun still gave themselves names like Wu Yue.
"Ping'an Chamber of Commerce, Daiyi." Tang Xueyun also spoke.
Chen Jianjiang looked at their strange attire and frowned strangely.
He simply looked at the aircraft behind them and nodded in a friendly manner. "Hello, I'm Chen Jianjiang, the deputy commander of the North City Temporary Shelter."
"Please forgive my ignorance, but before today, I have never heard of the Ping An Chamber of Commerce..."
Chen Jianjiang reported several company names, but they were all rejected.
"It's okay, just know that we have no ill intentions." Tang Sheng said, "Are you the deputy commander of the shelter?"
Chen Jianjiang nodded.
"Then I'll make it short," Tang Sheng said. "Our Ping'an Chamber of Commerce hopes to build a grocery store here and needs land ownership. If you require any compensation, feel free to ask."
Although he came to support, Tang Sheng did not intend to give things away for free.
After all, he needs experience points and points so that he can exchange them for more supplies and upgrade his employees' levels faster.
However, his words obviously caused Chen Jianjiang to be confused.
"Open a grocery store? In our shelter?"
"That's right." Tang Sheng nodded. "The supplies we can provide include drinking water, food, salt, and of course medicine."
"However, for the sake of long-term cooperation, I hope you can offer a reasonable price, and the land we need would preferably be..."
Tang Sheng gestured with his fingers, "From here to there, this whole row."
"Believe me, giving us this whole row will be beneficial to you in the future."
The population of the north city is estimated to be far over 100,000. Even if the level of branch No. 14 is upgraded to level 3, the overnight stay list cannot accommodate so many people.
So after discussion, they decided to build the branch between the bridge and the shelter to form a barrier.
This way, we can block the mutants, protect the safety of the shelter, and there is no need to worry about insufficient overnight accommodation.
As for overnight stay rules...
After all, this is not a wasteland world, and the quality of the population is still very high. The fact that the shelter has been able to last so long without collapsing also shows that the order is good.
Chen Jianjiang looked at Tang Sheng in confusion. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a burst of fighting sounds behind him.
Another mutant is trying to break through!
"It seems you've run into trouble." Tang Sheng said, "Let's deal with the mutants first, then we can talk!"
After saying that, he and Tang Xueyun rushed towards the bridge entrance.
They were so fast that they disappeared in the blink of an eye. When Chen Jianjiang and his men arrived, Tang Xueyun had already kicked away a mutant that had climbed onto the wall.
Then she bravely jumped out of the fortifications. As for Tang Sheng...
Chen Jianjiang climbed up the fortifications and looked out, only to see that he was already lying on the ground!
As soon as their eyes met, the man with the pillow on his head shouted at him, "Quick! Come on, get some more people to hold me!"
Before Chen Jianjiang could express his confusion, several soldiers jumped down. They originally wanted to help, but they saw that the woman with the purple mask was waving a sickle and chopping down a large number of mutants.
They were still immersed in shock when they heard the man lying on the ground shouting, "Quick! Grab my hand! This way she can rush further!"
Although they didn't understand the relationship between the two, the confused soldiers still did as they were told.
They grabbed Tang Sheng's hand and were about to pull him up when they heard him say anxiously, "No! Don't pull me up! The protective shield will fail!"
After getting the key information, the soldiers put him down again.
They also noticed that the woman wearing the purple-patterned mask seemed to have an indestructible body. No matter how fierce the mutant's attacks seemed, she was not affected at all.
Extremely hot flames spewed out of her.
She walked in the flames, and not only was she not burned, even her hair was intact.
Faced with the siege of hundreds of mutants, she calmly took out various weapons they had never seen before, and harvested the lives of these mutants with great efficiency.
The soldiers stared at the scene in a daze, and even Chen Jianjiang felt like he was in a dream.
Finally, after a certain number of mutants died, the mutants crowded on the bridge began to retreat. The aura of death of a large number of mutants spread, making their kind dare not approach here again.
Tang Xueyun was already panting and exhausted, but...
Cool!
Because Tang Yu'an gave her newer equipment, and her strength was enhanced, this battle could be said to be almost a one-sided crushing victory, except for one or two that were slightly higher in level.
Moreover, she doesn't have to worry about being infected by mutants.
The chance of a mutant being infected is relatively low. In addition, before Zhou Qi left, he left three fire spirit insects behind, one for each of the three members of his family.
With the intimidation of the fire spirit insects, the mutants didn't dare to lay their eggs on them.
That's why Tang Xueyun can remain fearless when facing mutants.
This brought an indescribable shock to the soldiers watching in the north of the city.
When Tang Xueyun walked back from the pile of mutant corpses, she was greeted first by utter silence, and then by thunderous applause.
Tang Sheng, who was lying on the ground, finally pushed away the soldier who was hugging him and got up from the ground.
"Well done!" said Tang Sheng.
Tang Xueyun also high-fived him and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
If Tang Sheng had not lay on the ground under pressure and created a protective shield for her, she would definitely not have achieved such results.
Tang Sheng smiled. Hearing Tang Xueyun's weakness and fatigue, he quickly said, "Go back and rest. Leave the rest to me!"
They returned to the shelter. Tang Xueyun returned to the aircraft to rest, while Tang Sheng continued to negotiate with Chen Jianjiang.
"Well, now there are no mutants to disturb us."
Tang Sheng said something that sounded very pretentious to Chen Jianjiang. Of course, if possible, he hoped that such Bking behavior could happen a few more times.
"Ms. Dai Yi, you are so powerful!" Chen Jianjiang said with a bright look in his eyes.
Of course, when he met Tang Sheng's gaze, he still coughed lightly and added, "Your behavior on the battlefield was also... also very heroic!"
He could see clearly from the top of the wall and heard Tang Sheng's shouts, and understood that his incredible behavior was to create a protective shield.
Although I don’t know the specific function of this protective cover, I think it should be very important, right?
Tang Sheng smiled. He was already used to other people's strange looks.
Compared with my wife's safety, what does this little embarrassment matter?
"Let's talk about the business we just talked about."
Tang Sheng thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, we have already opened a shop across the river."
Chen Jianjiang's eyes lit up slightly, "Are there any survivors in the south of the city?"
Tang Sheng nodded: "There are still more than 10,000. With the supply of materials from our Ping'an Chamber of Commerce, everyone's life has been greatly improved."
"You can actually supply so many people?" Chen Jianjiang said in disbelief.
Tang Sheng nodded. "Not only that, it shouldn't be long before all the land south of the city is recovered."
Chen Jianjiang's eyes flashed with a strange look, "Really?"
"I don't need to lie to you." Tang Sheng said, "If you want, you can come with us to take a look."
Seeing is believing. As long as they bring Chen Jianjiang over and he understands everything, it will be easier for them to conduct business in the north of the city.
Anyway, after the battle just now, the mutants will not attack the shelter again for at least a week.
And a week is enough for him to level up to lv21 and gain the permission to open the protective barrier.
When Chen Jianjiang heard him say this, his intuition made him half-believe it, but he still said, "I need to ask my superiors for instructions."
"no problem!"
While waiting, Tang Sheng took out two boxes of compressed biscuits and water and distributed them to the soldiers who were working hard to guard the shelter.
Looking at their young faces, Tang Sheng couldn't help but think of An An and Xiao Qi.
Fortunately, the two children are strong enough to protect themselves even in another world, so they don’t have to worry too much.
Soon, Chen Jianjiang's application was approved.
The top leader of the shelter also came in person to meet with Tang Sheng.
Tang Sheng had never seen a person of this level before, and was afraid that if he said too much he would make more mistakes, so he just repeated what he had just said to Chen Jianjiang, and then suggested leaving.
So Chen Jianjiang followed him onto the aircraft and returned to the base in the south of the city together.
-
Wasteland plane.
During the operation of Tang Sheng and his wife, their voice was always on, so Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi had a clear enough understanding of their situation.
"It seems like everything went smoothly for Mom and Dad." Tang Yu'an said.
Zhou Qi nodded and said, "As long as we establish a new branch in the north of the city, Uncle Tang's upgrade speed will increase."
lv25, it shouldn't take too long.
Tang Yu'an nodded, "It's a pity that I still have no clue about the plane positioning stone."
He had used up all the seven-day sale refresh cards, and apart from buying a bunch of magical furniture, upgrade materials and robots, he did not get any plane positioning stones.
"Take your time. This kind of thing sounds very precious." Zhou Qi said.
I'm just afraid that the system is gone, so it can't be flashed out.
Tang Yu'an sighed, "I can only think of a way later."
Zhou Qi reached out and touched his head, and Tang Yu'an leaned into his arms.
Not only that, he also hugged him with both hands and buried his face in his chest.
Zhou Qi stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed. He carefully placed his palm on the boy's back, feeling his palm becoming hot.
"Brother Xiaoqi..."
Tang Yu'an's sullen voice rang out.
"Um?"
Zhou Qi lowered his head and watched the boy raise his head in his arms. He was about to say something pitifully, but Zhou Qi, who had already noticed something, quickly covered his mouth.
Tang Yu'an blinked, his eyes full of confusion.
"Is the voice turned off?" Zhou Qi asked with his lips.
Tang Yu'an then remembered that he was still talking to his parents on the phone, and quickly hung up the call.
"How do you know that what I wanted to say just now cannot be heard by them?" After turning off the voice, he snuggled into Zhou Qi's arms again and asked curiously.
Zhou Qi sighed inwardly. Is there any need to ask? It's nothing more than a coquettish act and wanting a kiss...
Although I knew he wouldn't agree, I still persevered every day.
Tang Yu'an curled her lips, then took his hand again and said with a chuckle: "If you don't want to kiss, a kiss on the hand is also good."
Then, the boy placed his soft lips on Zhou Qi's palm and kissed him with a mua~ sound.
