I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)

Chapter 1385: Encountering A Fellow Townsman

Jessica’s expression changed when she saw the electronic collar on the ground.

“What’s wrong? My slave lady.” Jiang Chen joked, “If you don’t know how to wear it, I can teach you.”

“You don’t need this kind of thing to restrain me at all. I said I will be yours from now on.” Jessica bit her dry lower lip and looked at Jiang Chen with pitiful eyes, “No matter what you do, I will not resist.”

Are you kidding me!

Once you put this thing on, your life won’t be yours.

She started to sense danger from this iron robot in front of her, and out of instinct, she took two steps back.

“You don’t want to keep your promise?” Jiang Chen’s tone changed. The rifle that he previously put away reappeared in his hand and he aimed at the frightened Jessica. With slyness in his tone, Jiang Chen said, “I’m not kidding, I advise you to do what I say.”

Just now, a voice with an African accent came from the door.

A black guy stood there with a bazooka on his shoulder. His finger was already on the trigger and he stared at Jiang Chen with warning in his eyes.

“Okay buddy, put down the gun. Even if you’re in your power armor, you definitely don’t want to try this.

Jiang Chen did not show the slightest concern with the bazooka aimed at him. He turned his head slightly and focused his attention on the arrogant man and the ten gunners with ragged clothing, he then asked nonchalantly.

“You are?”

“I…” The eyepieces on the tactical helmet made Sim a little flustered. He swallowed and continued out of fear, “We are her companions, survivors gathered around the airport.”

“Where were you just now?” Jiang Chen smiled.

Sim couldn’t find an answer to this question as he muttered for a long time. Next to him, Hardy slapped the back of Sim’s head, walked to Jiang Chen, and used a threatening tone, “Thank you for saving our companion, I owe you a favor, but I hope you let her go now, otherwise…”

Jessica was still useful, and Hardy didn’t want to lose her like that.

This sl*t not only made the brothers feel good every night, but she would also occasionally bring back some silly blue skins.

“Otherwise?” Jiang Chen laughed as he responded.

“Otherwise…” As Hardy chuckled, he suddenly threw a grenade hidden in his sleeve while he cursed, “Otherwise I will f*ck you up!”

The smoke exploded, and Jessica rolled to the side.

The high-pressure nitrogen burst out and dispersed the dense smoke in an instant.

A bazooka pierced through the thick smoke and flew at Jiang Chen. But without any attempt to evade the flying danger, he reached out with his left hand and compressed the nitrogen gas into a wall, which blew away the bazooka.

“SH*T! FIRE!”

When Hardy realized that the sneak attack had failed, he cussed, fired a few shots with his pistol, then ordered the predators behind him to open fire on Jiang Chen while he sneaked to take cover. However, before he could run two steps, he was shot in the thigh and started to howl on the ground rolling.

Pewpewpew!!!

The tactical rifle unleashed its power, and the beating hearts had turned into scarlet flames, which were reflected on Jiang Chen’s retina. The moment he pulled the triggered, it seemed that every cell in the body was relaxing as if killing had become an instinct.

This long-lost feeling…

“Devil! He is the devil!”

When they saw their companions fall one after another into pools of blood, the predators hiding behind cover finally began to collapse, they screamed and fled backward.

When the guards in T-3 power armor heard gunshots from the airport terminal, they started to arrive one after another. When the predators realized that their enemy was not just one power armor, they completely lost the courage. They dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

“Look at what I found,” There were still a few pieces of algae hanging onto his armor as Zheng Shanhe held the disheveled Jessica in his hand and walked to Jiang Chen who was standing in the waiting room. He threw her on the ground with a grin and said, “She was hiding in the ventilation duct.”

“Put this on for her.” Jiang Chen pointed to the collar on the ground.

“Yes!”

“NO… DON’T…” Jessica backed away in horror. She tried to get up from the ground, but the power armor behind her did not make her wish come true. Without a word, Zheng Shanhe grabbed her neck and snapped the electronic collar on her.

Jiang Chen glanced at Jessica, who had turned pale, with a sneer, then ignored her. He then walked to the predator named Hardy. At this moment, his thigh had been bandaged and the blood finally stopped flowing out. But based on where he was shot, this leg was unlikely to walk again.

“I will ask you a question, and you will answer the question.” Jiang Chen looked down at Hardy, lifted his chain, and said concisely, “If I find you lying, then I will get rid of your other leg too.”

Hardy swallowed, then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

“How many people do you have in total?”

“One hundred fifty-seven…no, one hundred fifty-eight.” Hardy replied with a shiver.

“These people are?” Jiang Chen pointed to the survivors who squatted in the corner of the terminal hall with shackles on their hands.

“Prisoners.”

“Prisoners?” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “You still keep prisoners? I advise you to answer my questions honestly.”

“What I said is true!” When Hardy saw Jiang Chen fiddling with the rifle, there was panic in his eyes as he articulated quickly, “Some skilled slaves are very popular in Liberty City! There are some people…”

“There are some people?” Jiang Chen asked with interest.

“Those cannibal tribes offer good prices too…” Hardy replied in a quiet voice, with his head lowered while he trembled on the ground.

“This bunch of scumbags.” Zheng Shanhe spat out and cursed.

Hardy buried his head and didn’t dare to say a word. He honestly accepted the words thrown at him.

Without worrying about him anymore, Jiang Chen glanced at the slaves squatting in the corner, and then at his captain Zheng Shanhe, “It just so happens that we need manpower to clean the airport. You can pick a few clever guys to be supervisors.”

After a rough glance, there were about thirty prisoners caught by the predators, most of them looked malnourished. It was unlikely to expect these people to do any hard work, but they could definitely be the overseers and watch these predators work.

Except for the two who ran away, there were about 80 predators captured by his guards. These men were more than enough to repair the airport runway. Now Jiang Chen was only short of the overseers who looked after these slaves. After all, he only had a few electronic collars. It was impossible to separate combat power from his guards to look after these prisoners.

Jiang Chen looked at Zheng Shanhe walk towards the slaves of the predators, then he returned to Jessica, knelt down, and pinched her chin. He looked at her painful eyes begging for mercy, and said in a mocking tone, “I will give you a task, you can only respond with yes.”

Because she couldn’t speak, Jessica nodded desperately.

“You will take care of these people for me,” Jiang Chen pointed to Hardy who was sitting in the corner, and then pointed outside the door. “We need someone to clean the airport runway. Do as I say. I promise you will be safe and sound. If I find you playing tricks behind my back, your head will explode. You should understand what you are wearing on your neck.”

After he finished these words, Jiang Chen threw the painful and desperate Jessica to the ground. There was no need to pity or cherish a sl*t like this. When he saw the expression on her face, instead of feeling any guilt, he felt like she deserved this punishment.

After he watched Zheng Shanhe choose the overseer among the group of prisoners, Jiang Chen was about to take a tour outside, but he suddenly heard a familiar accent behind him.

“Wait, you… are you from NAC?”

Including Zheng Shanhe, several of the guards in the room all stopped what they were doing and looked at the person who stood up.

With unexpectedness, Jiang Chen looked back at the prisoner, walked to him, and examined the man from head to toe with intrigue.

“Do you know NAC?”

“I not only know,” after the rescue he had been waiting for finally arrived, with a relieved expression on his face, Han Yue almost cried with excitement, “I, I’m a colonist from the Sixth Street! ”

“What is your name?”

“My name is Han Yue,”

“Why are you here?” Jiang Chen frowned.

“This is a long story,” his eyes fell into reminiscence, and a look of shock gradually appeared on Han Yue’s malnourished face. He gulped down, and slowly began to narrate to Jiang Chen what happened that day, “It was a week ago, our cargo ship docked at the port…”
