I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 648

Chapter 648 - Not Knowing One's Own Strength

Translator: _Min_  Editor: Caron_

With the bottle of serum and information related to the surgery, Jiang Chen left the clinic.

Based on what Doctor Sun said, the surgery could be done before fifty years of age. Through a special method, it would only require one to two years to evolve “resilience” into “revive.”

He is only twenty-something, so there is no need to make a rash decision.

“Do we not need to control Doctor Sun?” When leaving the ghetto, Sun Xiaorou turned her head and asked Jiang Chen.

“Get someone to keep an eye on him. It doesn’t seem necessary to control him,” Jiang Chen said.

At the end of their conversation, Jiang Chen invited him to the Fishbone Base to serve as a doctor, but he rejected the offer. He wanted to continue staying there, living on the wasteland under the identity of Doctor Sun and treating the unfortunate.

But at the same time, he expressed that once everyone around him turned old and the children turned into adults, he would consider closing the clinic and quietly leaving the place. By that time, he would consider entering the hibernation chamber to wait for a distant future…

When they passed an alley, the two walked toward the exit of the ghetto.

But just then, a few figures walked out from the dark and surrounded them.

Jiang Chen stopped and looked at the group of people blocking them, intrigued.

They were holding guns, knives and even sticks. He could clearly sense the unfriendliness in their eyes.

[There are actually people unafraid of death?]

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and said pleasantly, “You are?”

The man leading the group with a bald head didn’t respond. A teen with a rifle walked up two steps and thuggishly said, “Buddy, you ruined the jobs of many after you came to Capital. You think you’re tough?”

[Ruined the jobs?]

Jiang Chen instantly understood what this was about. He said while pondering, “So, an official who was cut sent you guys here?”

Another thug with a scimitar tilted his head to crack his joints. He looked at Jiang Chen with vicious mockery. “You certainly are brave to come here without a guard, and you brought a girl along too. Don’t you know this is the ghetto?”

“Of course I know this is the ghetto, but… did I need to bring guards?” Jiang Chen laughed.

The thugs all stared at him as if he was dumb. They looked at each other before they started to chuckle.

“Enough, no more bullsh*t. Someone bought your life, sorry. Haha, we’ll take care of the little hottie beside you.” The bald-headed man laughed menacingly. His small eyes squinted into a line and he wantonly checked Sun Xiaorou out.

“I’m not little at all, although I’m a bit smaller than sister.” Sun Xiaorou blinked at Jiang Chen without any sense of urgency before she turned around to grin at the bald-headed man who just disrespected her. Her voice gradually turned cold as she said, “Considering what you just said, that’s enough for you to die twice.”

“Ha, with just you?” The teen sneered, lowered the rifle on his shoulder, and pointed at Sun Xiaorou while he arrogantly said, “I want to see you—”

Jiang Chen didn’t want to watch their hideous gestures, so a cold voice came out of his lips.

“Fire.”

Bang—

A gust of wind sent dust high up into the air.

Once the dust settled down, only the bullet marks on the ground and the hint of blood in the air proved the thugs had been there.

As the general, Jiang Chen obviously wouldn’t have walked into dangerous territory without protection. Under the airship’s watch, he didn’t think they would be in danger there.

Jiang Chen turned around to look at the peasants trembling in darkness and met their fearful gazes.

They probably knew the thugs had been hiding there already. No one had told the two of them, but the peasants just remained in the dark.

It didn’t take too much thinking to know they want to scavenge the bodies.

Jiang Chen suddenly thought the frail and dark faces looked like crows watching atop tree branches.

“Just leave these things for me to deal with. Now there’s blood splattered all over my dress.” Sun Xiaorou, who had dust on her face, turned around, picked up her dress hem stained with blood and rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, displeased.

“It’s okay, I’ll change for you when we get back,” Jiang Chen whispered into her ear with a smirk.

Xiaorou’s face quickly turned red.

“Screw you.”

The two disappeared in the alley.

Like crows that sensed carrion, the people hidden in the darkness swarmed the lumps of bullet holes mixed with chunks of flesh and began searching for anything valuable.

When they returned to the airship, Jiang Chen took Sun Xiaorou to change into a clean set of clothes. Then he called upon Cai Xuan, who was acting as the director. He ordered all officials who had been dimissed to be imprisoned and investigated. If they had any connections related to the attack in the alley, they were to be executed.

After taking care of that matter, Jiang Chen headed to the command room of the airship and discussed next steps with Han Junhua.

“…First Division surrendered to Federation, and the soldiers of Federation already crossed the Gang River bridge and are building defense bunkers now. From the images collected by drones, they’re equipped with anti-air cannons and missiles as well as heavy artillery support. Just like that, they’re focusing on establishing an elite force.”

Jiang Chen nodded.

“What about the other divisions of Empire?”

“Second Division ceased its attacks on Donggang Plantation and fled north with signs indicating they’re moving to Wu City. Fourth Division stopped its suppression of the insurgents and is in the process of negotiations for surrender.”

“What do they want?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Division commander Li Haicheng agreed to surrender to us, but he hopes he can continue to act as the commander.”

“Accept his terms.” With a brief pause, he continued, “Once he surrenders, reduce the size of the force by half, retrain the force, establish the Second Militia, and make them responsible for the defense of Golden River Farm.”

“Okay.”

Right now, deputy captain Wang Zhaowu walked into the command room and made a report to Jiang Chen.

“Federation sent an ambassador with the hopes of discussing the distribution of Hucheng.”

The ambassador from Federation?

When Jiang Chen thought about Federation taking advantage of the situation, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

“Make them wait in the conference room beside the palace. I’ll personally go to see them.”

“Yes!” Wang Zhaowu saluted.

“Right, move the airship to Golden River Farm. It’s unsafe to be so close to Federation’s air defense power, and it’s also not necessary either,” Jiang Chen said.

Order’s long-range fire coverage could easily cover the entire Hucheng territory, even areas hundreds of kilometers away. If they weren’t showing off their power, there was no need to be so close.

When he left the room, he called Ji Yucheng, who was currently resting at Golden River Farm, and gave him some orders.

“Come to the arena.”

“Now?” Ji Yucheng was shocked.

“No sh*t.”

“Could I ask what it’s about?” Yucheng whispered.

“Good things,” Jiang Chen answered with irritation “If you want to become the president of Federation, then stop wasting my time and come. I’ll arrange people to pick you up, so wait at the gate of the farm.”

“Yes, yes!”

Ji Yucheng was ecstatic. He immediately darted out the door.

As a parliament member, it would be his dream come true if he sat on the throne of the president.

Especially for a parliament member in “exile,” the temptation to return to the seat of power was great.

Ruins stretched across the landscape in the apocalypse after the nuclear war.

If you accidentally survived on the wasteland, then you must be ready to face the endless hunger, ceaseless dangers, the mad zombies at night, and the peculiar mutant creatures that are the aftermaths of the constant radiation.

But for Jiang Chen, this place was heaven.

Mansions stood tall, luxurious cars parked on the street, high tech products and gold abandoned everywhere.

What? You were the president of a game development company before the war? You were responsible for the development of the 3D virtual reality online multiplayer game? Well, that’s great, why don’t you come work for me. The salary is two pieces of bread a day.

iPhone? Ultra thin design? Don’t you see that the phone I invented are thinner than condoms?

Aircraft carrier? Fighter jets? Oh, I have those things as well, but they are designed for space combat.

Watch the story of Jiang Chen, who possessed the ability to travel through space and time, as he witness the creation of an empire stretched across space and time..
