I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

The two nuclear explosions finally shook the foundation of the building as the distressed building started to wobble in the blinding white light.

Using the safety tunnel to rush to the top floor, Jiang Chen, who stepped into a replacement power armor, used his shoulder to crush through the door. As he entered, he just caught the yellow gravitational shield knocking away several fallen tiles before finally dissipating.

“Yao Yao!”

“I’m here!” The girl climbed out from underneath the desk. Panic was written all over her face, but she still bravely crawled toward Jiang Chen.

“Don’t move, give me your hand!”

Jiang Chen charged forward and grabbed Yao Yao’s hand. He pulled her up from the ground and hugged her in his arms.

Before the office was completely crushed by the broken pieces of cement, Jiang Chen smashed through the floor-to-ceiling window with his shoulder and jumped out of the office building.

Almost as soon as he jumped out of the building, the office building behind him collapsed like an avalanche. In an instant, the office he was just in was swallowed by the rolling dust.

Turning in the air to avoid incoming cement, Jiang Chen skillfully started the vortex engines. The engines released an eerie blue light while helping him glide to the meeting point.

After escaping the dangerous area, Jiang Chen looked back at the scattered dust, he then exclaimed.

“Magnificent…”

Yao Yao’s small head sneaked out between Jiang Chen’s arms as she looked at the dust with fear.

She couldn’t imagine what would happen if they were a second late.

“Let’s go to the meeting spot,” Moving his gaze away from the ruins of the building, Jiang Chen looked at the direction of the meeting spot and said softly, “I hope Lu Fan and the team are fine.”

…

The meeting spot was about five kilometers from the collapsed office building.

After they received the coordinates of the map, everyone entered radio silence to avoid the electromagnetic wave signal being tracked. In addition to the life signal detection device that could be easily fooled, electromagnetic signal was the most effective and the most important means of detecting positioning of enemies.

There were only five people who arrived alive at the meeting point.

Lu Fan, Jiang Chen, and Yao Yao were among the five.

Of the seven guards, only three remained. They had lost contact with four of them, almost equivalent to a death sentence.

The Second Militia did not intend to spare anyone. When the two sides encountered, they greeted each other with bullets. Or rather, it was miraculous to escape from a company of power armors.

“I’ll revenge you guys.”

When Jiang Chen gazed out the window, he let out a long sigh.

Although such a promise had no significance to the deceased soldiers, since he made a promise, he must carry out his promise.

Also, their family members would be raised by NAC until their eldest child reaches adulthood, or the wife remarries.

“Where are our reinforcements?” Lu Fan was repairing his power armor with a wrench, then he looked back at Jiang Chen and asked. “They have too many people. We have no chance of winning in a direct engagement.”

Jiang Chen shared the same sentiment.

To eliminate those twenty power armors, he almost used all the inventory in the storage dimension.

The electromagnetic pulse cannon could still be used, and there were still two nuclear grenades left, but the drones were completely exhausted. There were still quite a bit of crystals left, but Xiaorou was not with him. So the crystal with a large amount of energy is no different than rocks. Food and daily necessities could also not be completely ignored.

“The signal here is not good. We can’t reach the reinforcements on the surface for the time being.” Jiang Chen looked at the disconnected icon and continued, “If they haven’t arrived yet, then they must have encountered something along the way.”

“What did they encounter?” Yao Yao asked with some concern.

“Russians,” Jiang Chen said without changes to his tone. “It’s not just the Shangjing Survivors Alliance and us that are looking for the treasure of Pan-Asia Cooperation, but also a group of nasty polar bears.”

“Ah, yes,” Yao Yao heard the keyword of the treasure of Pan-Asia Cooperation as she suddenly seemed to remember something. She took out the tablet from behind and pressed the power button. “When I got permission for the building’s security system, I found some strange things in their database.”

“Strange things?” Jiang Chen looked at Yao Yao, remembering what she said to him in the communication channel, and asked curiously, “What is it?”

“The database of Eden Technology,” with a mysterious look, her finger quickly tapped on the tablet and called out a holographic image before gently pushing it in front of Jiang Chen. “From number 000 to number 973, all of those are experimental projects.”

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Lu Fan was the first to process the information and hurriedly asked.

“Why did Eden Technology’s database appear in that office building? What does the office building have to do with Eden Technology?”

“Accurately speaking, the office network of the building is connected to the database of Eden Technology, not the database of Eden Technology is located in that office building.” Because the question was from someone she was unfamiliar with, Yao Yao looked toward Jiang Chen and read the same confusion in his eyes before she started to answer anxiously., “The database of Eden Technology is like a big tree, and all the connected devices in the city are like apples in the tree.”

“The whole city is connected to Eden Technology.” Jiang Chen thoughtfully nodded and then tapped the screen before his fingertip stop on a circular logo, “East Asia Heavy Industries… It’s strange, isn’t it? Almost all the Pan-Asia Cooperation industry giants involved in the Interstellar Colonization Plan have participated in the construction of this underground city.”

The entire city shared the same database.

Eden Technology weaved a net beneath the city and then glued everything in the city to this web.

“What do they want to do?” Lu Fan frowned.

“This is also the question I want to ask,” Examining the numbered folders on the holographic screen, Jiang Chen said, “Perhaps only they can give us the answer.”

At this moment, the sound of explosions came from afar, and black smoke started to float above the city, accompanied by gunshots in the distance.

“What happened?” Lu Fan stood up immediately and went to the window, staring in the direction of rising block smoke.

“Most likely the Russians are here,” also watching the black smoke, Jiang Chen smiled. “It seems that they can win some time for us before our reinforcements arrive.”
