I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 1384
Chapter 1384: Airport Gang
Santa Monica Airport.
The barren concrete road was covered with weeds, and a few hideous zombies occasionally strolled outside the terminal hall. Unlike the zombies in Pan-Asia Cooperation, these zombies were not formed because of the X1 bacterial infection, but purely because of radiation, which caused their brain to degenerate and turned them into the walking dead with only the instinct to eat.
Because it was difficult to form large groups of zombies common in Pan-Asia, these zombies were not dangerous. As long as the survivors were careful to not get scratched by their claws stained with mutant bacteria and radiation, any survivor could deal with them. The real danger in the North American wasteland was not the zombies, but the strange mutants.
According to unconservative estimates, the number and danger of mutants in North America were at least three times that of the Pan-Asia region.
In the dark corners, a mutant poisonous scorpion suddenly threw its tail with a hook, then dragged a struggling zombie into the corner and open its sharp mandibles.
The prey gradually stopped moving. Just as this mutant poisonous scorpion was about to feast, it suddenly stopped biting as if it had sensed some movement; its small eyes quickly turned vigilantly.
But before it could detect anything, the shock wave of the explosion blew it away.
BOOM!!
The explosion overlapped with the sound of the armors breaking through the air. When both feet slammed on the ground, the flat concrete road was full of spider-web-like cracks.
“Success.” Jiang Chen pressed on the helmet, stood up straight, and shook the dust from the power armor. He then looked at the airport not far away with a grin, “What a coincidence, I landed near the airport without satellite navigation.”
Lurking in the shadows, the mutant poisonous scorpion was rubbing its sharp fangs nervously. From the iron lump in front of it, it felt danger. The creature followed its instinct and cautiously approached Jiang Chen from behind. Suddenly, it threw out its deadly tail.
The air whizzed and a strong force lashed at Jiang Chen.
Without even looking, he raised his right hand, and the tactical rifle spouted out fierce flames. Green blood splattered everywhere, and the firepower turned the half-human tall scorpion into several pieces.
Just as Jiang Chen shot this mutant poisonous scorpion, a dozen pairs of eyes were lurking in the dark.
To be precise, they were fixated on the power armor on his body.
“Power armor… God, it’s a power armor!” In the office of the airport building, a man with a shaved head squatted cautiously by the window and secretly looked at the power armor downstairs. His two mung-bean-sized pupils were filled with envy and greed.
“Is it a member of the National Guard? Or is it a Liberty City Militia?” The brawny black man grabbed his rifle tightly and asked nervously.
“It’s not…it fell from the sky, it should be a little mouse that got out of the fallout shelter! Sh*t, we have to find a way to get that power armor.” Hardy licked his dry lips and a fierceness appeared in his eyes.
“But what should we do?” The black man named Sim hesitated.
“Brand new power armor, mostly likely a little mouse that got out of the fallout shelter,” Hardy said nervously as he bit his thumb. “Let Jessica go… She often deals with the blue skins. The sl*t knows how to deceive them.”
Just as the predators were planning how they’d take the power armor on his body, Jiang Chen raised his rifle again and killed a few more zombies wandering at the airport gate, then he set the coordinates of the gathering spot on the map.
Because there was no satellite to guide the airborne, and they happened to encounter a strong air current just when they were falling, their landing positions were quite scattered.
He heard from Zheng Shanhe say that when he landed, he stepped on a cockroach’s nest with one foot, and now he was covered with green stinky juice.
Since they were not in a hurry, Jiang Chen told the hapless guy to go to the ditch on the nearby map first and wash away the radioactive stinky juice. He didn’t want to speak when they gathered while smelling the stench of mutant cockroaches.
Shortly after he set up the coordinate, a scream came from the airport building.
Jiang Chen looked up only to see a woman, dressed as a scavenger, being forced by a group of zombies onto the platform outside the airport building.
The woman hurriedly jammed the handle of the glass door with a folding chair, pulled out the pistol from her pocket, and pulled the trigger at the glass door smashed by the zombies. However, the gunshot did not appear. She threw the pistol aside in despair and retreated to the railing on the outside of the platform.
Just when she was in despair and did not know what to do, she suddenly noticed Jiang Chen downstairs and was overjoyed. Then she began to wave her arms.
“HELP! Help me! I need help!”
Under the tousled brown curly hair was a beautiful face. If it weren’t for her panicked expression, he would give her a seventy based on Western standards. However, she was desperately waving her arms, and the whiteness in front of her chest under the torn clothes was even visible.
The female survivor surrounded by zombies happened to appear near the power armor.
Everything was such a coincidence like a popcorn blockbuster rolled down from the Hollywood assembly line.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and revealed a sly grin under the steel helmet. Although this beauty’s acting skill was great, and the extras outside the door were also helpful, he still spotted the issues right away.
The biggest issue was.
How did a rookie scavenger like this manage to get here after being chased by zombies?
He did not go up to save her right away, instead, he turned on the life signal detector on the power armor.
A layer of red ripples swept across the radar screen, and soon a series of red dots symbolizing sources of life were marked on the screen.
The sly smile soon turned colder. Rather than saving her, Jiang Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest and started to watch her performance.
When the beauty saw that Jiang Chen hadn’t come up, she was taken aback for a moment, and then a pleading expression appeared.
“Please! For God’s sake, save me! I don’t want to be eaten by them! I will do whatever you want me to do. I… I can even be your slave.”
Any rookie that came out of the fallout shelter would definitely turn hot-headed and save the pleading beauty. No, the rookie would have already rushed to her from the start. Unfortunately, Jiang Chen didn’t just get out of the fallout shelter but came to North America to spread socialism.
“You mean…you want to be my slave?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile after he turned on the speaker on the armor.
“Yes! I will! Please help me!” The beauty nodded desperately.
“Since you said so, then I hope you will remember your promise.” Jiang Chen sighed and stepped heavily on the ground with his right foot.
The armor bounced up from the ground, and the vortex engine ejected blue flames.
When the woman saw the power armor fly towards her, she looked joyful, but in her mind, she cussed, Fu*k you. I’m begging you now but you’ll soon find out what’s going to happen to you after.
The power armor naturally crushed the zombies.
When both feet slammed on the ground, Jiang Chen raised his tactical rifle, and a string of bullets harvested the zombies behind the glass door.
He then turned off the safety, put away the smoking rifle, and looked at the disheveled beauty.
“Thank you, God. I really didn’t know what to do without you.” The woman gazed at Jiang Chen passionately, gently combed the hair near her ear back, and said while blusing, “As agreed, from now on, I will be your woman.”
“What is your name?” Jiang Chen asked emotionlessly.
“Jessica.” Jessica’s index finger lightly pressed on the front armor of the power armor. Jessica raised her head and looked at Jiang Chen with admiration, “Can you show me your face? My hero?”
The poison was already hidden under her tongue. Once she waited for the helmet to open, the affectionate gaze and the kiss would even make Superman kneel under her high heels. The thought of the power armor will soon belong to her made Jessica extremely excited.
She had already planned that when she controlled the power armor, she would immediately settle the grudge with Hardy.
“No problem, Ms. Jessica, but before that…” Jiang Chen dropped the electronic collar on the ground, and said cunningly, “Just like we agreed before, you have to put this on first.”
