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

1184 Treasure Map

After two rounds of airstrikes, the zombie flood surrounding Dongcheng Hospital subsided slightly, the only one Roshan remaining fell victim to 20mm machineguns.

With its ammunition exhausted, the Aurora-20 hovered in the air, then returned in the direction of Qingcheng.

Although the zombie flood subsided, no one showed any happiness.

They all recognized that the situation would not last for too long.

With darkness approaching, the zombies would rush to the area like moths rushing to a lamp.

“Listen, I know that your guards are very strong, but the night is very long.” Next to Jiang Chen, Zhao Qiuran looked at the street full of limbs outside the wall of Dongcheng Hospital and said, “You said there would be helicopters coming to pick us up, how many helicopters do you need to take more than 70 people at once? Or do you intend to leave these loots here.”

Zhao Qiuran looked at the slaves who were sitting next to the water tank.

“There will probably be two helicopters,” Jiang Chen said.

“Two helicopters?” Zhao Qiuqi bitterly smiled, walked to the side, and then leaned against the railing on the top of the building. “Two helicopters, can take how many people?”

Jiang Chen said softly as he gazed at the zombies shaking their heads on the street.

“Who said I’m leaving?”

Zhao Qiuran took a few more seconds to process the information and looked at Jiang Chen inexplicably.

“Then you called the helicopters…”

“Reinforcement.” Jiang Chen stopping gazing at the street and looked back at her. “I’m going to hold here. Do you have any good ideas?”

“Hold here?” Zhao Qiuran looked at Jiang Chen, shocked and confused. “Why do you want to hold here? Is there anything else besides garbage?”

“I just asked if you have any good ideas.” Jiang Chen shrugged.

“Well…” Seeing Jiang Chen did not intend to reveal his plan, Zhao Qiuran sighed and gave up the idea to question him further. She then pointed to the courtyard of Dongcheng Hospital. “You know, because of the existence of the Throwers and Roshan, hiding in a narrow building is not a good idea. My suggestion is that we build a fortification at the gate, keep most of the zombies out of the walls, and then eliminate large zombies like the Roshans.”

Jiang Chen touched his chin and nodded.

“What about materials?”

“Materials? They’re over the place.” Zhao Qiuran showed a smug look as she looked around to the ruins of the main building. “You just need to lend me some hands.”

She is indeed an experienced lone traveler.

Although her equipment was a lot worse compared to Jiang Chen’s guards, her survival ability was far superior to anyone from Jiang Chen’s side.

From the roof of the building back to the ground, everyone first cleared the zombies left in the courtyard.

Then, under Zhao Qiuran’s command, all the 19 guards except Lu Fan began to “move bricks”.

With the strong load-bearing capacity of the kinetic skeleton, the reinforced concrete blocks marked by Zhao Qiuran with a marker were moved to the door from the ruins of the main building, and then under her command, a bunker was somehow built.

Not only was a movable door created, but there were holes left for shooting. To prevent the Throwers from tossing in baby bombs, she made a few forks out of steel and placed them in front of the shooting holes.

The hospital wall itself was very high, as long as they manage to hold the main gate, at least from the main building to their current building, there was no need to worry about other zombies. They just need to be cautious of Roshan approaching their bunker. Or else, it should not be difficult to hold this place down.

Just as Zhao Qiuran began to build a “tower”, Jiang Chen took Lu Fan to the side and opened the holographic map on his watch.

“I just said that we have to hold this place. Now I’m going to tell you why I am doing this.”

“Because Dongcheng Hospital is the entrance to Line 27?” Lu Fan replied before Jiang Chen spoke.

“Not bad.” Jiang Chen applauded and nodded. “You’re making good progress.”

Lu Fan smiled and embarrassedly touched his forehead.

After clearing his throat, Jiang Chen tapped on the holographic screen, and all of the more than forty subway lines in Shangjing were highlighted.

“What do you see now?”

“Shangjing Subway Map?” Lu Fan frowned.

“This is a treasure map, one of which has an entrance to Subway Line 0, which is the treasure of the Pan-Asia Cooperation.”

Jiang Chen took out the card he won at the auction from his pocket. “The key is in our hands, but we are not the only holder of the key and opening the door with a key is not the only way to get to the treasure.”

“Now a group of robbers is underground, and they are choosing to use explosives to clear the way.”

“It was not an earthquake just now?” Lu Fan looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

“There is no doubt that the Russians did it, and they used nukes. Only nukes could damage civil defense facilities to this scale. Also, they must have tactical nuclear bombs equivalent to at least 10,000 TNT.” Jiang Chen put away the card. “If we followed DND rules, since there are dungeons and treasures, there must be monsters and traps. Obviously, the idiots blasted a passage with a nuke, but they also released some unwanted things.”

Lu Fan would like to ask what the dungeons, treasures, and DND rules meant, but seeing the General was so engaged, he put away those thoughts for now.

“So… what should we do now?” Lu Fan asked.

“What should we do? Of course, it is to find the treasure before everyone else, and at the very least before the Russians.”

“Is that our target?” Lu Fan forced a smile.

“Of course.”

Jiang Chen’s fingers tapped on a few more points on the map, and the three subway lines, Line 35, Line 27, and Line 2, were separately marked.

“Line 27 passes through the South Gate of Pingan Street and passes through Dongcheng Hospital. It is connected to Line 2 and Line 35 inside the Third Ring Road. Line 35 is the subway line where the Russians are located. Line 2 passes through Pingan Street, then heads east.”

“What are the mysteries of these three subway lines?” Lu Fan looked at the holographic map and frowned.

“Line 2 passes directly below the Pan-Asia Cooperation Building. Use your imagination, what kind of subway line will pass under the political center of the Pan-Asia Cooperation?”

When Lu Fan heard Jiang Chen’s words, his eyes gradually brightened up, as if he had captured a hint in his head.

Jiang Chen did not wait for Lu Fan to digest this information, he pointed to Line 35 and continued.

“The only thing we can confirm now is that the Russians detonated the explosives on Line 35, not only blasting an entrance but also blasting a subway line stuffed with dangerous mutants and zombies. I’m afraid now, Lines 35, 27, and 2 are all packed with zombies.”

“How can we get in?” Lu Fan said with the skin on his head crawling.

“We have power armors,” Jiang Chen said, looking at Lu Fan. “And hence why I called reinforcements.”

Even with power armors, it would not be an easy task to create a path among zombies. But since he learned the secret of Line Zero, he would not let it slip away from him.

“I still have another point I don’t understand.”

“Go ahead.”

“What are the DND rules?”

“…” Jiang Chen looked at him silently and then looked away. “Forget about it.”

The atmosphere felt a little stuffy.

Lu Fan touched the back of his head, forced an awkward laugh, and then nodded.

“Okay, okay…”
