Chapter 1161 The Power of FoodJiang Chen was skeptical of how much trouble zombie flesh could bring to the Russian tanks. However, when he saw the expression of Wan Peng and Xu Tiannan when he mentioned the subway system, and even Ding Liwei’s look of concern, Jiang Chen began to doubt himself too.In any case, everything would be known after the Hunter Corps return.

Just like this, the two sides reached an agreement at the negotiating table.

Ten million crystals as the military expense of NAC’s reinforcements. The two sides would jointly fight against the CCCP tanks.

As for the spoils, it would belong to whoever claimed them first.

“One last point,” Jiang Chen pointed to the direction of the giant wall of Pingan Street and smiled, “remove the weapons on the wall that are pointed towards us. Although those things have no deterrent to us, no one likes being pointed at by weapons.”

Ding Liwei thought Jiang Chen was about to propose another outrageous condition. When he heard Jiang Chen finish his sentence, he was relieved and said in a gentle tone.

“You can rest assured that we will remove the weapons immediately!”

The contract was finally signed, an electronic contract and a paper contract were produced with each side holding both copies.

At the end of the negotiation, Ding Liwei stood up and looked around at the other executives and then looked at Jiang Chen.

“Since the contract has been signed, it’s time for us to leave.”

“Wait, don’t rush to go,” Jiang Chen stood up and reached out his hand. “Look, it’s getting pretty late outside. You must have not eaten dinner yet. Why don’t you all have dinner here and then leave?”

Just saying this, Jiang Chen clearly heard many people swallowing.

In the beginning, Ding Liwei wanted to refuse this proposal.

But then he remembered that the canned meat in his fridge seemed to be all Fishbone branded, he didn’t want to leave anymore. The serious square face seemed to want to refuse, but he clearly didn’t want to say it. The awkward and conflicted expression on his face was almost comical.

It didn’t take much to convince them as all the executives stayed and followed Jiang Chen to the dining room next to the conference room.

It was another round table, just a lot bigger than the one in the conference room.

Soon, dishes with mesmerizing aromas were served on the table by a housekeeping robot.

Wuchang Fish, Steamed Pork Belly, Fried Eggplant with Meat, Pork Ribs Soup… Even the rice was the Yangzhou Fried Rice.

Their eyes fixed on the dazzling number of dishes, despite all of them being in the upper echelon of society. They were gulping as saliva secreted in their mouth as the aroma tempted their nose. If it were not because of their status, they would already have begun devouring the food.

“No need to be so serious, please eat.” Jiang Chen smiled and picked up his chopsticks first.

In tradition, guests must wait to eat before the host picked up his chopsticks. It was just the guests didn’t have the best etiquette when eating. They were decent at first, but they were about to use their hands and stuff their faces into the dishes.

After a burp, Wan Peng leaned back against the chair with his belly full and smudged the grease on his lips with his hand, he complimented.

“If you open a restaurant in Shangjing, I believe it won’t take long to earn ten million crystals.”

Jiang Chen laughed at this joke and didn’t speak.

He was very curious. If he let these starved beasts know that in the Sixth Street a thousand kilometers away many restaurants served these dishes, would they move to the south?

The table was a mess, but everyone was happy.

The executives were full of joy and left with big bellies. They all expressed their gratitude to Jiang Chen. Although the military expense of ten million crystals made them a little hurt, the meal just now gave them an illusion of it all being “worth it”?

Ding Liwei did immediately follow through with his words. After the group returned, the weapons on the giant wall were quickly removed.

Jiang Chen didn’t expect that a meal would have won the gratitude of so many executives.

Back in the military base, Jiang Chen went to his barracks and met Yao Yao, who was looking outside.

The little girl didn’t change her clothes yet. She was wearing a pale pink apron embroidered with a bear pattern on her chest.

After seeing Jiang Chen, Yao Yao’s eyes lit up and immediately stuck herself to him. She said in a mellow tone.

“Did Yao Yao help out?”

“Mhmm,” Jiang Chen smiled and touched Yao Yao’s small head, “Yao Yao helped a lot.”

When she heard Jiang Chen’s compliment, Yao Yao’s cute face was filled with a shy smile.

She blushed, she looked like a ripe apple that he wanted to bite into.

Of course, he wouldn’t actually bite Yao Yao’s cute face.

He gently left a good night kiss on her forehead, then he sent Yao Yao to sleep before he went to the command room in the center of the camp.

After he discussed with the officers of the expeditionary force about their combat plan against the CCCP armored units, it was midnight. It was then that Jiang Chen finally returned to his room and immediately collapsed into his bed, yawning.

…

The next morning, under the escort of two entourages, the Archbishop Xu Tiannan came to the gate of the NAC military base.

The soldier who received the order in advance allowed the entry of the old man.

It was still the same conference room, but this time, there was only an elder and a young man in the room.

Facing someone much younger than him, Xu Tiannan said respectfully.

“Why did Mr. Jiang bring me here?”

“It’s not a big deal. I just want to chat with Archbishop Xu.” Jiang Chen smiled, then gestured a guard to pour a cup of tea for the old man. When the fog floated up from the cup, he said, “I don’t know if you have heard of Eden Technology?”

“Eden Technology?” Xu Tiannan slightly frowned.

“Have you not heard of it?” Jiang Chen asked.

“If you are talking about the Garden of Eden Project, we have heard of it,” Xu Tiannan’s murky eyes were recollecting the past as he slowly said. “There was a disagreement in the Dusk Church, precisely because of the Eden Project. We came to Shangjing, and they went down to Wanghai…”

“Bo Yu?” Jiang Chen remembered the man wearing 121 hydrogen bombs. He also remembered accidentally poking a hole in him with a laser sword and helping him materialize his storage dimension.

“Yes,” Xu Tiannan nodded. “He was a man, very talented, but too arrogant. If I didn’t guess wrong, you should have already taken care of him.”

“It’s been too long.” Jiang Chen faintly smiled. “But what I want to ask is not about the Garden of Eden project, but the corporation behind it, Eden Technology. I heard that their headquarters is in Shangjing. Do you have any knowledge of it?”

Xu Tiannan pondered for a moment before finally shaking his head. “The Guardian Sect migrated to Shangjing for only a few years. We don’t know much about many things here. However, even though I don’t know, I know someone who definitely knows.”

“Who?” Jiang Chen asked.

“There is a pub on Pingan Street called Hell Courier. The pub is run by an intelligence dealer from a neutral survivor settlement. They know everything from the coordinates of Death Claw nests to the recent relationship between major forces. They leak the majority of the news in Shangjing,” Xu Tiannan said.

“Neutral survivor settlement?” Jiang Chen frowned. “Right, I have heard that there are thousands of survivor settlements in Shangjing, but when I look at Pingan Street, at most there are 100,000 survivors. Is there another Pingan Street in Shangjing?”

“Mr. Jiang must not know.” Xu Tiannan smiled bitterly. “Not all survivors have joined our alliance. There are also some neutral survivor settlements who, despite obeying the rules we set and purchasing assets here, they never considered themselves as part of the alliance.”

Neutral survivor settlements?

With the strength of the Shangjing Survivors Alliance, there are still existences that it can’t take down?

It seems that Shangjing may not be as shallow as what he sees on the surface…

As he rubbed his chin, Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully.
