Chapter 985 - Preparation Before the Departure
“If it is convenient, can you come to Moscow?”
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen didn’t reject Natasha’s invitation.
If he must make a trip to Moscow, then it must be inconvenient to discuss on the phone and it must be a topic not appropriate to delegate to a diplomat. His intuition told him it must be related to stormy Europe.
Russia was one of the strategic partners of Celestial Trade. The economic cooperation between the two was second only to Hua, and their military cooperation was even above that with Hua. From this perspective alone, he should go there in person.
The integration of Europe was also inconsistent with the interests of Celestial Trade.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen looked to Ayesha. He dragged her hand closer to his face as he smiled and whispered, “Sorry to bother you.”
“No worries.” Ayesha’s hand was gently placed on Jiang Chen’s hand, indulging in the intimate moment. She closed her eyes. “It’s my pleasure to share your worries.”
“Isn’t this supposed to be what a gentleman tells a lady?” Jiang Chen said.
Ayesha smiled and started the optical invisibility to hide her figure in the office.
Since playing a virtual reality game called Assassin’s Creed: Phantom in the Phantom Helmet, she had fallen in love with using “stealth” to bid farewell.
He felt a gentleness and warmth on his forehead, and soon, a gust of wind swept through the office.
Jiang Chen touched his forehead, and he smiled.
This little girl secretly kissed him…
The more eastward, the weaker the influence of the Freemasonry, but even the KGB couldn’t guarantee that Moscow, the capital in Eastern Europe, didn’t have informants of the Freemasonry
Risks and benefits were always proportional.
In order to ensure the safety of his trip to Moscow, Ayesha headed to Moscow first. She used the intelligence network established by the Ghost Agents in the local area to clear potential dangers for Jiang Chen’s visit while having the smallest possibility of offending his allies.
The date of the visit was set a week later in the name of the submarine transmission cable.
Before going to Russia, Jiang Chen didn’t just take time off but he returned to the apocalypse…
At the beginning of April, the heavy snow over Wanghai finally stopped, and the snow covering the ruins of the city also showed signs of melting.
This winter came earlier than before, and it also left much later.
The entire Earth was like a computer that had been put into excessive use by the countries. After hundreds of years of high usage, it finally restarted because of the global nuclear
war.
The facts confirmed the speculation of the Dusk Church. After many years of silence, the world welcomed a Little Ice Age far more severe compared to the one in medieval times. A disaster caused by the nuclear winter was wrapped in the roaring snow and covered the whole earth.
In the coldest days, Jiang Chen basically spent his time in the modern world, only occasionally coming back to accompany his girls to eat hot pot, so he didn’t personally experience the harsh winter. According to Sun Jiao, Wanghai and Yizhou Island were okay. In Hongcheng and Wu City, which were more inland, many survivors froze to death.
The Little Ice Age ultimately impacted the development of Sixth Street.
The proclaimed “trade center” that connected the survivors of the north and the south had a looming hint of depression because of the influence of the winter last year. Although the irreplaceable food trade maintained a considerable degree of vitality, population growth still slowed down.
People became more inclined to find a suitable place to live in the south.
At that moment, Jiang Chen began to understand why the Northern Alliance Area forcefully declared a war on him even with their fragile supply line.
It wasn’t that they were crazy, but they were forced to do so.
Inheriting the armed forces of the pre-war Pan-Asia Cooperation and uniting the mutants who fled from Hongcheng to the vicinity of Wu City, they achieved some success.
If it wasn’t for the breakthrough in magnetic confinement technology combined with the “strong” industrial capabilities of Sixth Street, which allowed the frontline troops to successfully install the plasma cannons, the Northern Alliance Area would likely be attacking Hong City or might have even already reached the gate of NAC, Hang City.
However, that was only a “what if”…
When Jiang Chen returned to the apocalypse, the welcome he was expecting didn’t happen, and the mansion was quiet.
Sun Jiao and Sun Xiaorou needed to handle his affairs for him when he returned to the modern world, although Sun Jiao, who used to act leisurely, hated the job. However, she still bore the responsibility for Jiang Chen. As for Lin Ling, because of the research, she went out to camp No. 27.
That was to say that at the moment at home, only Yao Yao lived in the boudoir every day…
And this information was exactly what Jiang Chen heard from the girl’s mouth.
“That… can you come down from my lap?”
The soft jade was warm in his arms, and Jiang Chen had scratched his cheeks with some cramps.
At the moment, Yao Yao, wearing floral dress pajamas, sat happily on his lap with two happily swaying small feet wrapped in white silk. Even her bunny slippers were kicked to the side.
A fluttering scent came along her fluffy hair, and the soft sound seemed to have a sweet scent. Her deer-like watery eyes shone with the hope that she wouldn’t be rejected.
“Can… can you hold Yao Yao for a while?” Turning his head slightly, Yao Yao whispered.
“No problem! How long will it take?” Jiang Chen replied immediately.
Yes, I can’t refuse it!
Even Jiang Chen, who occasionally revealed the “S” side of his deep heart, couldn’t bear to see the lonely expression on the face of the little angel.
Thinking about it anyway, there was nothing to do. Jiang Chen sighed and smacked the hair of Yao Yao and recited something in his heart more than a dozen times: “I am not a Luo. Li control.” He decided to remain at the side of the little girl and stay for a while.
Feeling the warmth of his head, the expression on Yao Yao’s face was satisfying, and he happily picked up the song.
The current sound of the chassis was looming, and Jiang Chen looked around Yao Yao’s boudoir. There had been little change in everything there over the years. In addition to the bed and furniture replaced with new products imported from the new country, the pink girlish wallpaper and the electronic components emitting a metal flavor didn’t make up everything in her room.
There were more and more books on the shelves. Looking at one book, Jiang Chen thought: I think that should be a relatively high-end computer professional book.
Feeling that Yao Yao had grown up, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but caress her hair and say with emotion, “Speaking of which, is Yao Yao not growing up at all?”
“Hey!”
Being poked painfully, her small shoulders shook. Yao Yao’s mouth pricked up slightly, her throat snorting with some frustration.
“This room is definitely not big enough. Remember to go out to do some sports, at least in the backyard.” Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the sun was shining through the yellow-green tone of the dust. It seemed that it wasn’t as healthy as indoor lighting.
Yao Yao shrank and whispered, “Hey… Big brother, don’t you like girls who are smaller?”
This wasn’t a minor category, this was young. The teeth weren’t over…
Moreover, this wasn’t the focus at all!
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but tap her head with his fingers.
“I’m worried about your health; how can you think about that?!”
“Hey.”
With hands clasped together, covering the big hand that caressed the top of her head, on Yao Yao’s mouth hung a sweet smile.
Although she was counting down, she always felt warm in her heart.
It was like a vacant place, filled with the same…
