In the afternoon, Jiang Chen lay quietly on the lounger by the pool, enjoying the sunshine at the end of summer.

Although he was in a hurry to go back there to report his safety, because the jump bracelet was in a "cooling state", it was not a matter of being in a hurry, so he fortunately rested.

The weather is starting to get cooler, and autumn should be in the near future.

In this case, winter is about to begin in the last days.

Because of radioactive fallout, the winter of the last days will come earlier than the present world. According to Sun Jiao, in previous years, it was almost mid-October, and Wanghai City was considered to be winter.

The winter of the last days can be described as a natural disaster.

Temperatures can plummet to minus a few degrees Celsius in just one month, and impure snowflakes fall from the sky, turning the city unnaturally white. But compared to the first few years, it's much better. According to records, in the years immediately after the end of the nuclear war, almost the entire earth was in a state of nuclear winter. There is only winter, no summer.

For the average survivor, winter is very difficult. They tend to choose to collect and stock up on enough supplies and fuel for survival in the first half of the year. Unless it's an accident, no one chooses to go out in winter.

In winter, xenos also choose to hibernate or move to warmer areas, such as abandoned nuclear power plants or geothermal wells.

Zombies are the only ones that are not affected by the cold, and usually they don't have much water on their bodies to freeze, but because of the reduced amount of sunlight, they will sleep longer.

Staring at the chilled orange juice on the table, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.

Enough food, cotton clothing, fuel, and the like are all necessities for the winter, but these things are not difficult for him, and for the fish bone base, the winter should not be difficult.

Naturally, there is no shortage of food, and warm cold-proof clothing is also sold in the sixth block, which is much more efficient than cotton clothing. Fuel can be replaced by electricity, and although electricity generation will drop in winter, the demand for electricity will also be reduced. The outside temperature is just a few degrees below zero, and the refrigeration unit and freezer in the basement can naturally be turned off.

What really worries him. Or is it a question of the combat effectiveness of the base.

In this battle with the mutants, the shortcomings of the fish bone base were exposed at once.

There is money, but the military is too weak.

Perhaps crushing the average group of survivors, power armor is enough. But if Fish Bones wants to grow, it will never be able to meet a few small survivors. There are so many forces in Wanghai City, but what about outside the city? What about the whole country? And what about unknown xenos?

Without the support of heavy firepower, they were caught off guard by the slightly larger armed forces of the mutant group. And what's even worse. There is one less power armor explosion, and this time four were scrapped at once, and most of the rest were injured. Even if the mutants are wiped out, for the fish bones, this account is a big loss.

He didn't expect that a group of mutants would be killed halfway, and when he found out that the Gray Gu Mercenary Group was in trouble, he was ready to take advantage of the fire to rob it. As a result, he didn't expect that the other side was not friendly at all, and after beating the people of the Gray Gu Mercenary Group, he continued to fire at Jiang Chen and them without saying a word.

From the beginning. There is no possibility of reconciliation between normal people and mutants.

Picking up the juice and taking a few sips on the straw, Jiang Chen looked thoughtfully at Aisha's figure shuttling in the pool.

Lack of heavy firepower.

The armament of the Fishbone Base is too dependent on the Sixth Block, and people don't sell anything like heavy firepower, at most they sell a heavy machine gun or a bazooka or something. What kind of high-energy vacuum bomb is because it can't be used, it basically has no effect on zombies, and it is easy to be intercepted by laser anti-missile weapons in combat against people, and it belongs to the kind of weapon that doesn't have much use, so it was disposed of by Zhao Chenwu at a low price to Jiang Chen.

And this kind of thing is used a little less, and the production equipment is basically destroyed in the war. To what tactical nuclear bombs, laser cluster bombs, etc. Basically, they were looted from the battlefield or from half-destroyed arsenals. In general, the reserve of such a "superweapon" also symbolizes the hard power of a survivor base.

The Fish Bone Base must have its own munitions production line, and it must start to find ways to develop heavy firepower. However, what gave Jiang Chen a headache was. Many things have technology, but there are no conditions for production.

In addition to the production equipment, there are only two reasons that restrict the development of fish bones.

One is the raw material, and the other is the population.

In the last days, mining is not a matter of thought, and the shallow minerals on the earth have basically been mined. The asteroid collection station and lunar mining base, which were the main sources of minerals before the war, have long been bombed into space junk.

Although a small amount of construction steel has been purchased from the 6th block before. But after this expedition, I'm afraid that their production materials will also become nervous, where will they sell to him?

Want to grow your industry? Let's upgrade our recycling process first.

Due to the high development of materials science, it is really not easy to break down a material whose name alone can be written on a few pages into pure minerals. Although Jiang Chen does not understand material science, he has heard Zhao Chenwu mention that 35% of the industrial capacity of the sixth block is allocated to "waste recycling". While organic materials can alleviate some of the demand, bullets, shells, and armor are all inseparable from metal.

Let's talk about the population.

Even if there is no complete production line, it is not impossible to build some equipment by hand through some modified general production equipment, but this will inevitably require a lot of labor.

In the case of the Spider Tank, for example, there are thousands of parts that are needed. Just the population of the fish bone base also wants to develop the military industry? Zhao Chenwu's military factory is not just his little people.

Do you want to find a way to process most of the parts that are not easy to produce in the present world, and then get them to be assembled in the last days? The world is rich in mineral resources, and although the manufacturing process is low, it is possible to obtain some simple production equipment

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and gave up the idea.

It's too dangerous.

Not at home. Even if workers may not know what the parts they produce are, who will believe that opening a factory with no clear meaning of producing products will not be targeted? If it is discovered, he has military technology

The picture was too beautiful for him to think.

Abroad? Jiang Chen believes that the world is as black as a crow, even if people uphold the spirit of the constitution and the law and act in strict accordance with the law, maybe the country will not come forward to do anything. But when it comes to the big cake of the military industry, presumably those big conglomerates that rose during World War II will not let go easily. At this time, as long as the country turns a blind eye, the military technology will naturally fall into the hands of "its own people".

But you don't need to put such abundant resources in this world. Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little pity.

At this time, Aisha suddenly came out of the water, shook her wet hair, and smiled in Jiang Chen's direction.

Moment. Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

Well, of course not because of that

Island!

"Damn, I didn't think of it before." Jiang Chen patted his head and said with a wry smile.

What is lacking in the last days is food, and this thing is not hard to come by anywhere. It doesn't have to be at home! Some things are a bit of a stretch at home, but in a small, remote and underdeveloped island country, the situation may be different.

At the same time, if there is a base in this world, it will undoubtedly be of great help to the development of the last days! In this world, there is no need to worry about labor and resources, as long as you can control a small, neutral country far from international affairs

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's heart couldn't help but burn.

He's been looking for a way back for a long time.

I just got a future person 1.0 and was called to "talk about my heart", master, I am still your savior, of course, he scolded in his heart at this sentence.

In short, when he came out of the royal house. I had the thought of wanting to "go".

It's just that how to operate this matter has to be summed up.

Getting up from the sun lounger, Jiang Chen walked in the direction of the villa. Aisha swam to the edge of the pool, her long dark brown hair stained with seductive droplets, and her tender white arms resting on the edge of the pool.

The expectant look in his eyes seemed to ask, "Why don't you swim together?" ”

Looking at her unconscious charming posture, Jiang Chen couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth.

Speaking of which, this chick's figure is really getting more and more attractive.

On the one hand, the fair skin is due to the human race, and on the other hand, it is due to the conditioning of the culture medium in the culture cabin.

The excess oil and dirt in the subcutaneous tissue are washed away by the culture medium, and the blemishes of Caucasian congenital enlarged pores are also contracted and delicate under its moisture. Nourished over many days. Aisha's skin, which was still a little dry, has transformed into a delicate and smooth appearance like mutton fat jade.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Jiang Chen took that culture liquid to open a beauty salon, the business would definitely be very hot.

And that's not all. Due to the injection of genetic drugs and the regular fitness every day, Aisha's lower abdomen has spread a shallow vest line. Combined with the small but firm roundness, and the beautiful legs without a trace of fat, the temptation of the exotic style became more and more intense.

Even more intoxicating is her loving gaze.

This three-point swimsuit, and this alluring figure. This life will only be shown for one person.

To be honest, at this moment, Jiang Chen really had the urge to jump into the water and "play" with her.

But at the moment he had more important things to do, and it was not too late for that shame to be put in the evening. For the restraint of desire and hope, he is much stronger than before.

"Ahem, you play first, I still have something to deal with."

Forcibly suppressing the flame in his lower abdomen, Jiang Chen smiled embarrassedly, and then hurriedly left the pool-

Basement of the villa.

Looking at the corpse of the mutant, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, and then stretched out his right hand.

Storage space couldn't store living things, something he'd tried before. Ants can be stored in and then obliterated, but cockroaches can't, and it seems that it is unrealistic to use storage space to kill.

Storing dead things doesn't consume a lot of energy, and he has intermittently charged 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity not long ago, which is about 10% of the energy of the jump bracelet.

A slight pain came from his wrist, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but tense his nerves.

"Damn, don't break it!" There was no response for a long time, and he almost didn't scare Jiang Chen's cold sweat out.

Fortunately, after a short delay, the mutant's corpse was in a slight trance and was received into the storage space.

With a sigh of relief, Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and then looked at his right wrist.

After using the remaining energy to remove the subcrystals from the storage space, he quickly filled the Jump Bracelet with energy.

Now that the function of the storage space has been restored, the next step is to traverse.

Immediately after, Jiang Chen couldn't wait to activate the ability to traverse.

However, the labor pain from his wrist poured cold water on his excitement, and although the function of the storage space was restored, the function of crossing was not restored.

"Isn't it that fast?" Looking at his right hand helplessly, Jiang Chen had a wry smile on his face.

However, since the storage space that was unusable at the beginning has been restored, I think the traversal ability is not far away.

After disposing of the mutant's corpse, Jiang Chen immediately went to the study on the third floor of the villa, and then turned on the computer.

For his "island purchase plan", he still has to make a little preparation.

Clicking on Baidu Encyclopedia and Google Earth, his gaze searched along the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

The area does not need to be very large, even if the land is not enough in the later period, there is also NB's land reclamation technology in the last days. It's just that the sea is more terrible than the land and has no place for use, so it has not been popularized among survivors.

It is better not to have too much population, less is easy to control, and the population is not enough to immigrate in the later period.

It's best to be politically unstable, but don't be too chaotic either.

GDP can be low, the poorer the place, the easier it is to buy, anyway, he will spend money to transform it after he goes.

It's better not to have any disputes with neighboring countries in territorial waters, it's better not to have those troublesome things like oil and gas, anyway, he can eliminate that thing at any time, and he doesn't expect to make a fortune on that. Otherwise, let alone development, "anti-thieves" will have to annoy people to death, and it is easy to give people with bad intentions an opportunity.

The most important thing is that you must be far enough away from the "Big Five"!

Eventually, a small country in the Panu Islands came into his sights.

It's just tailor-made for him.

A smile slid across the corners of his mouth, and then Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone and dialed Roberts's number.

"Hello? Old man, you think of my hapless old friend. On the other end of the line came Roberts's oily voice.

"It's been a bit busy lately. Do you have a business to do? Without greeting him, Jiang Chen said straight to the point. (To be continued.)
