"I'm finally going home. ●⌒，”

Standing on the steel deck of the Order, looking at the rising sun from the edge of this wasteland, Jiang Chen's heart was quite a little excited.

This was only two and a half months, and the expedition, which was originally planned to return in a month at most, was dragged out to September by various troublesome problems. Of course, the harvest of the expedition was also very gratifying. According to analysts at Sixth Block Bank, the expedition's contribution to the overall NAC economic growth was at least five million credits.

But at the moment, he didn't want to care about those gains and losses, he just wanted to quietly watch such a beautiful scenery.

"Today's weather is good," Sun Xiaorou walked behind her, gently brushing her windswept hair behind her ears, "There is no radioactive dust, only pure blue and white...... This is the original color of the sky. ”

The rolling white clouds are like freshly picked cotton, and the rolls are like waves, hugging each other like mountains. The Order sailing here is like a flat boat.

Against the blue sky, beneath the steel airship were the ruins of ruined houses, broken highway bridges, tall buildings covered with green branches, and the sparse firelight......

"How much territory do we have?" Standing on the edge of the airship and looking down, Jiang Chen suddenly said loudly.

"From the sixth block to the Hongcheng Federation, the area under the control is about 110,000 square kilometers." Sun Xiaorou said softly.

Because she often helps her sister deal with government affairs, Sun Xiaorou still has a little hearing about these numbers. NAC checkpoints have been found everywhere in Suzhou and Hangzhou Province, and NAC outposts have been established in some areas outside of Suzhou and Hangzhou Province to supply passing caravans and provide shelter for survivors in the area under their control.

On the contrary, Jiang Chen, the shopkeeper who shook his hands, didn't even know how vast the territory he had laid down.

"Is that all?" Jiang Chen smacked his lips.

It's been almost two years, not to mention the entire Pan-Asian region, even the Huaxia region only accounts for one percent of the territory.

Hearing the greedy speech, Sun Xiaorou glanced at him, pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's already pretty good, okay? Even with these 110,000 square kilometers of land, the degree of development is less than 10,000 square kilometers. Most of them are inhabited by xenos and zombies. Construction is much more difficult than invasion. ”

"That's really ......," Jiang Chen sighed.

Population is always the chain that restricts the development and growth of NAC, and even if it lays down a large territory, it will not help if there are not enough people to open up.

But if you can't integrate the forces of the two worlds, in the face of the invasion of the Harmony camp. He really didn't have much chance of winning. A hundred years means a lifetime for ordinary people and the whole world. However, for the entire civilization, a hundred years is but a fleeting moment.

Taking out the thumb-sized glass bottle, Jiang Chen pinched it on the tip of his finger and looked at it.

The orange-red serum glowed strangely in the sunlight. This is a biocode that is enough for all those in power to peep at, but it is like poison......

Walking behind Jiang Chen, Sun Xiaorou whispered in his ear.

"Don't be too anxious."

"What's in a hurry?"

"Of course it's from your hometown."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned, then smiled abruptly, raised his hand and rubbed Sun Xiaorou's head.

"You're a roundworm in my stomach."

"You can't just touch a girl's head." Xiao Rou said with a smile, her hand lightly covering Jiang Chen's big hand, but she didn't remove the warmth.

"Sorry...... By the way, you can't be considered a child anymore. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“…… The sentence just now deducted 10 points. Xiao Rou reached out and pinched his waist in disgust, and turned to walk towards the airship.

Jiang Chen grinned and looked at her back as she left. He turned his gaze to the ground again.

The Taipu River, which meanders down Dianshan Lake, is a giant round egg on the opposite bank. The translucent graphene mesh refracts like a rainbow in the midday sun. Hordes of construction trucks are scattered across the wasteland, accompanied by thousands of workers who contribute to the project of the century.

There it was the Garden of Eden.

The steel airship flew over the Garden of Eden and arrived at Songjiang in Wanghai City. District, guided by navigation radar, descended to altitude and approached Airship Harbor in the Sixth Block. The soldiers and civilians in the camp gave these "steel beasts" who had returned from the expedition with reverent glances and enthusiastic cheers.

The reason why I chose to stop at Airship Harbor in the 6th block. The main purpose is to show the people of the NAC and the homeless people who have passed here the strong force of the NAC. Military strength and a stable security environment are often the main criteria for the homeless survivors to choose a settlement.

Amid the cheers of civilians. Jiang Chen, who was wearing power armor, led more than 1,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force wearing mechanical exoskeletons to walk across the main road in the sixth block and walk towards the square in front of the parliament building in the inner ring.

The welcoming people in the middle of the road held flowers in their hands and threw the delicate petals.

Pitch-black polyethylene armor, bathed in flower petals and applause. All the soldiers straightened their backs with pride on their faces.

Under Jiang Chen's deliberate actions, the team walked very slowly.

These lads have been away from home for more than two months, fighting for the NAC in a foreign land, and now they deserve the glory as a reward for that hard work. Many enthusiastic singles not only presented bouquets of flowers, but also hugged the warriors.

It is human nature to worship heroes.

A cute little girl stopped in front of Jiang Chen, and while hugging the steel armor, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and offered him a fragrant kiss under the gaze of everyone.

Jiang Chen didn't know if this was her first kiss, because the little girl buried her head in an instant and fled into the crowd like a shy deer. In the face of the cheers of the crowd around him, Jiang Chen only hesitated for half a second, then smiled heartily, raised the flowers in his hand, and waved to his people.

Heroes and beauties are an eternal topic.

There was a brief pause due to the commotion, and the procession continued on.

Half a step behind Jiang Chen, Lu Ze whispered in his ear.

Judging by that expression, she should have just left the Vault. If the marshal is interested, I can look up her name for you. ”

Unsure of Jiang Chen's feelings about the girl, Lu Ze was careful not to use the slightly dejoratory term "blue skin".

"No need."

Recalling the innocence that flashed in his eyes, Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, and put the dew-stained flowers on the nylon buckle of the steel armor.

Lu Ze glanced at Jiang Chen's back with a strange expression.

It's really the sun that came out in the west, and the marshal actually changed to a vegetarian diet? (To be continued.) )
