I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Although there were no flags indicating their identity, there was no one else other than the people of the Northern Alliance Area who would come here.

After witnessing this 500-strong force, the frontline post sent a warning to the headquarters immediately. At the same time, the Second Army stationed in the city assembled themselves and prepared for war.

Local mercenaries were also mobilized. Although their direct combat capabilities were unsatisfactory, these individuals were all DIY and robots specialists. They were locals who could fully use the terrain against the offense of the Northern Alliance Area.

After they sent a fleet of forces to test out the NAC, the Northern Alliance Area took position in the suburbs to the north of the city. They used small-scale forces against the Second Army to gain regional control with the goal of weakening NAC’s artillery support.

Because of the blizzard, the visibility was extremely low, and the difficulty of flying mission greatly increased. The air superiority brought by Aurora-20s appeared to be negligible under the threat of air defense weapons. As Wang Zhaowu expected, it would be a hard battle.

The news of the outbreak of the war was quickly transmitted to Wanghai by radio.

“If the climate is like what the Shangjing’s meteorological observatory predicted, the world will enter a Little Ice Age caused by radioactive dust, and the surface environment will no longer be suitable for human survival, or the cost of living above the surface will be far higher than below the surface.” Kong Qian looked at Jiang Chen seriously and proposed, “Based on the plan we prepared, if the subway of Wanghai City is reconstructed, it can be transformed into an underground fallout shelter large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Once the surface of the climate is too harsh to survive, we’ll at least have an option to choose from.”

“Transition to the underground? Have you ever considered the energy issue?” Jiang Chen replied.

Without energy, even if the production and living facilities were moved underground, it would just be a grave they dug for themselves.

“Of course. Energy is a problem that cannot be ignored,” Kong Qian nodded, agreeing with Jiang Chen’s point of view. “We thought of two options. One was to use geothermal energy, and the other was to deploy ocean current generators in coastal areas. ”

Even if the weather got bad again, it would be absolutely impossible to freeze the ocean. Geothermal energy was also an inexhaustible source of energy… However, Jiang Chen’s indecisiveness wasn’t about a matter of energy. After all, the Moon colony in the modern world had begun to take shape. If he wanted to, he could always move some helium-3. As for the other material for nuclear fusion, there was plenty of tritium in the sea.

After a long silence, Jiang Chen finally said, “I hope we’ll never have to use this last resort.”

“I know this is a difficult decision, but we must face this reality.” Kong Qian bowed his head slightly. “We’re willing to share this project with NAC.”

After contemplating for a moment, Jiang Chen gave a relatively conservative reply: “…we cannot invest too many resources in the near future into the subway modification project. After all, no one can expect those invaders from the north to put aside their prejudices because of climate problems. But I promise that when we have free hands, we’ll seriously consider this matter.”

Without receiving a direct affirmative reply from Jiang Chen, Kong Qian was slightly disappointed, but he also expressed his understanding of the issues NAC was currently facing. After all, compared to the nuclear winter and the Little Ice Age, the Northern Alliance Area with tanks pointing at the south was the most imminent crisis.

“We’ll wait for your reply. I hope everything won’t be too late. If Mr. General has nothing else to add, then I will take my leave now,” Kong Qian replied respectfully.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Wang Qing, who hadn’t spoken yet. “Wang Qing, go to the warehouse for me and grab a box of Anxi Tie Guan Yin (Premium Tea) for Mr. Kong.”

Kong Qian was slightly moved and looked eagerly at Jiang Chen. He once again bowed: “Thank you, General!”

Jiang Chen said with a smile, “You’re welcome.”

These luxuries were tens of thousands of dollars for him – there weren’t rare at all. However, for these wealthy businessmen on the wasteland, this box of purely natural, pollution-free tea couldn’t be bought even with money.

It would allow them to brew a rich cup of tea, savor the taste from the pre-war period, and recall the good life before the war. For these high-ranking people, it was the ultimate enjoyment.

In the meantime, giving small favors to others would not only win them over but also strengthen the alliance between the two parties.

After Kong Qian left, Jiang Chen prepared to go to the software development department before returning to the mansion. However, Han Junhua stepped into the office with quick steps.

“Northern Alliance Area’s troops already advanced into Wu City. NAA’s First Legion has engaged fired with the Second Army headed by Wang Zhaowu.”

Jiang Chen’s pupils constricted.

Although he had the slightest hope that this moment would never come, this moment had finally arrived.

The fire of war was already lit.

Pulling the trigger in his hand, Hu Cheng hid behind the concrete bunker and used the rifle in his hand to return fire against the soldiers in polar camouflage. The blizzard ravaged above his head. It would take luck to hit people in this weather.

Whoosh!

Hu Cheng immediately buried his head, and the bullet whistled against his scalp. His cold sweat formed ice shards on the tips of his hair. He skillfully reloaded the clip and moved to the side of the bunker. The rifle was once again shoved out of cover to return fire.

“Tatatata!”

Indistinctly, he saw a few bright red spots gushing out from the white snow pile across from him. The rifle covered in white stripes fell on one side of the snow. There was no screaming, or the agony was already lost in the gusting wind. There was a hand behind the bunker that dragged the body behind cover.

Confirmed kill!

Behind the cold bunker, Hu Cheng panted. There wasn’t the slightest indication of happiness on his face, only the gratitude to be surviving. He was one of the earlier ones who joined the NAC and participated in battles against the Seventh Area mutated humans. He also participated in the expedition to Hongcheng, but the undoubted similarity between these wars was that the NAC had the absolute advantage.

Against the reaping of the drones and the barrage of rockets, the mutated humans were run over. Against the massive cannon of “The Order Airship”, Hongcheng’s survivors could only surrender under the shadow of the steel airship.

However, the Northern Alliance Area wasn’t the same. The other side had inherited the pre-war Pan-Asian Cooperation armor and its modern military ideology…

Gnashing his teeth, Hu Cheng continued to peek out from the bunker and returned fire.

He chose not to think about the outcome of this war and handed everything to Commander Wang Zhaowu of the Second Army. As a soldier, all he needed to do was kill his enemies and kill as many enemies as possible before his death!

This was his only option to survive through the snowy and icy hell…

On the main battlefield two streets away, drones flocked to the positions of the Northern Alliance Area. However, under the blockade of EMP weapons, these Hummingbirds all became headlong flies. On the battlefield with considerable scientific and technological advances, these flexible killing machines became worthless. In order to consume the EMP weapons of the Northern Alliance Area, drone teams were formed in twos and threes to attack their positions.

The armored vehicles of the Northern Alliance Area bulldozed through the concrete wall and drove onto the street. They used the frontal armor to block the bullets and used the machine guns at the top to fire at the NAC. They suppressed NAC’s gunners’ positions and protected their infantry as they moved forward.

However, this losing situation didn’t last long, and a round of bombs penetrated the armor. The armored vehicles exploded. NAC’s gunners immediately peeked out and fired back to kill the Northern Alliance soldiers who were charging onto the empty road.

The Type-50 electromagnetic pulse cannons ambushed near the clock tower had the miraculous effect of a sniper rifle. However, the orange-red ballistic exposed its position, and soon, an explosive bomb hit the clock tower. When the dust dispersed, the top of the clock tower had been slashed away, and no trace of the cannon was seen.

The war was extremely gruesome. The northern suburb of Wu City was blanketed by dark thick smoke.

In general, NAC, on the defensive side, still had the advantage.

Until the Wanderer tanks emerged…
