I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

It was getting late.

North of Mayotte, a cargo vessel slowly sailed towards the fishing port in the northwestern part of the island.

The location was close to the slums of the Republic of Madagascar. There were rows of old brick houses and diseases, crimes, and deaths filled the dirty alleys. Only two kinds of people were there; poor people starving to their bones or powerful and strong killers.

The children sat on the edge of the wharf in groups and looked curiously and alertly at the cargo vessel and the offshore platform. Although Arrow’s people occasionally used the port, it was their first time seeing such a strange thing.

Because of the arrival of this cargo vessel, the originally messy port turned even more chaotic. Naked men left in a hurry and several naked mercenaries with rifles and magazines wrapped around their bodies hopped on the port and then gestured toward the vessel..

“At three o’clock, the man with a hat. He is an informant of Arrow Military. At five o’clock, the guy who is waving at me is the informant responsible for contacting us. The name is long and wordy. I usually call him Andre… Can I reply to him?”

“Be natural.” Jiang Chen in optical illusion, whispered.

“Okay…”

Zaid squeezed out an ugly smile on his face, but it was not obvious under the darkness.

Zaid negotiated with the people on the dock and quickly got permission to enter.

The other party sent several sailors to the vessel. The man named Andre happily walked next to Zaid and punched him on the shoulder. He spoke French, a common language in Madagascar.

“Hey, man, this is a big deal. You should treat me after you’re done the deal. ”

“Come on, wait until I confirm the money is in my account.” Zaid took out a cigar from his pocket and said slyly, “Where is the ship? Are we driving this into your garage?”

“The ship will be here in a minute,” Andre said in a flattering tone. “Oh right, where is Bageri? How come I didn’t see him?”

“He is doing something in Somalia. I did not bring him on the mission,” Zaid said.

“How about the hostages?”

“All fed to the fishes.” Zaid grinned maliciously.

Only from this smile did Andre smell the thick scent of blood. He scratched his head and forced out a smile.

“Oh, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Two hours earlier, the frigate moved closer to the cargo vessel that slowed down and a corps of Marines boarded the ship. The High-Tech Freshwater employees and crew members boarded the frigate.

The clothes that were plucked from the pirates came in handy, and the soldiers currently standing on the deck of the ship were all Marines. The kinetic skeletons were hidden under the tightly wrapped rags, and the assault rifle was hidden near their hands.

Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly and whispered to Captain Cramer, who was dressed like a pirate.

“Don’t speak Chinese.”

The sun-tanned man grinned.

“I understand.”

Jiang Chen nodded and gestured to Ayesha behind him.

The two started their optical illusion and disappeared into the darkness.

Time passed by slowly. The soldiers waiting felt like time was passing by endlessly.

Several sailors confirmed it was safe to board and that the desalination platform behind the vessel was also safe. Then they returned to the bow. After confirming, Andre made several calls.

Soon, a freighter with a tonnage of more than 5,000 tons appeared in the distance.

The freighter had obvious signs of modification and the deck was cleared out. There were two helicopter pads with two Black Hawk helicopters parked on top. The soldiers in desert-colored camouflage jumped onto the deck. The hearts of Jiang Chen, Cramer, and Zaid were pumping furiously.

It was the most critical moment!

Obviously, these soldiers boarding the ship were the elites of Arrow Military. If they discovered their plan, the consequences would be disastrous!

Fortunately, however, it was late in the night and Jiang Chen’s side managed to successful disguise themselves through the inspection. Perhaps because of the multiple partnerships they had with Zaid, these Arrow soldiers also relaxed their vigilance. They just went from the bow to the stern, unloaded the offshore platform from the back of the ship, and connected it to their own freighter with steel cables.

“What about the money?” Zaid said to the mercenary who had contacted him.

“Already in your account,” the mercenary responded without a change in expression.

Hearing these words, Zaid breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not worried about Arrow scamming him. All he thought about now was that he had to quickly transfer money from the Swiss bank to a Russian bank account. Putting money in Europe always made him feel unsafe. After all, he heard that the shareholders of Arrow were Europeans and belonged to a powerful family.

After completing the delivery of the “goods,” Arrow’s mercenaries immediately returned to their own freighter and were on course with the desalination platform. Two days later, this desalination platform will be towed to Europe, where the German engineers will study the structure and design.

The Arrow ship got further and further away, but Zaid’s fists clenched tighter.

Because he knew that once the ship left, it was time for the main course.

“The work is done now. Now let’s go for a drink on the island.” Andre laughed while patting Zaid’s shoulder.

“You go first, I feel a bit dizzy.” Zaid rubbed his nose and pretended to be uncomfortable. He wanted to get rid of him quickly.

“Haha, you shouldn’t be seasick, man!” Andre said with a sly smile

Pirates could get seasick?

What a creative joke.

While they were bantering, the cargo ship slowly moved towards the port.

Under the cover of the night, an Aurora-20 quietly arrived over Mayotte Island.

“Archer-1 has reached the target and requesting instructions…”

The outdated radar in the Republic of Madagascar was non-existent to the Celestial Trade fighter jet. Knowing that Arrow had infiltrated the government, Jiang Chen did not ask for permission to take military actions.

He would never recognize the mission tonight.

A report came from the pilot. Jiang Chen removed the rifle from behind and whispered.

“Turn off the lights for them.”

“Roger that.”

After closing the communication channel, Archer-1’s pilot opened the cover with his finger.

Then, his thumb pressed on the red button.

A black missile attached to the bottom of the aircraft was separated from Aurora-20 and accelerated toward the clouds.

The moment it came in contact with the clouds, the missile suddenly exploded. Blue electric light blasted over the clouds and high-energy particles were emitted, colliding with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the air. The entire cloud layer turned into an electrode plate and cast a powerful momentary electric field toward Mayotte Island.

“Is it thundering?”

The loud sound in the air caught Andre’s attention. He took out the burning cigar from his mouth and gazed into the clear night sky.

“Perhaps,” Zaid responded vaguely, quietly moving away from Andre.

The lights suddenly went out and the darkness corroded the entire coast.

“What’s wrong? You look a bit weird—”

Andre’s words stopped abruptly, and a blood hole appeared on his forehead.

Zaid closed his eyes at the scene and then kneeled on the ground covering his head.

[Dude, I’m sorry… I had no other choices.]

The gunfire suppressed by the silencer began.

The killing also began!
