Chapter 617: But why did he feel almost thrilled at the same time???

The TV in the dining room was playing the news. Jiang Chen got into the habit of watching the news during breakfast when he came to Coro Island. Lately, he always saw Future Group in the news.
“We welcome Xin’s Ocean City project with our warmest wishes. The two countries are connected by blood with inseparable cultural ties. Penglai will become the point of cultural and economic exchange between us and we hope that the two countries can continue to develop through peace and achieve eternal friends.h.i.+p!”
Jiang Chen turned off the TV and shoved the last bit of scrambled eggs into his mouth then he went back to his room to change before heading outside.
He didn’t need to go to work today.
Precisely speaking, he wouldn’t go to work in the next few months.
Everything in the apocalypse was taken care of; the development of the New Malaysia Special District was on the right track along with the mining operation in Moro taken over by Future Mining, and a triangular industry chain was established between Ange Island, MLL Island, and Papua Island.
There was nothing Jiang Chen needed to strategize further.
After nearly a year of rest, things in the apocalypse were ready. It was time to expand the territory of NAC!
When he arrived at the gate, the modified Lamborghini was waiting for him at the door.
Ayesha was in the car. Her suited appearance with sungla.s.ses looked sharp as always.
After Jiang Chen entered the car, Ayesha drove off.
“Where are we going?”
“The underground warehouse.”
“Are you transporting supplies to that side?”
“Mhmm… I’ll probably be gone for a bit longer this time. I’ll have to count on you to take care of things on this side.”
Ayesha’s delicate fingers took off her sungla.s.ses. She turned her face and met Jiang Chen’s request with earnestness; she nodded.
“Don’t worry.”
Whenever Jiang Chen traveled to the apocalypse, only Ayesha could get into contact with him. If he had to make a decision on behalf of Future Group, Xia s.h.i.+yu would message Ayesha before Ayesha relayed the information to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen trusted Ayesha, and she never betrayed his trust.
The vehicle soon drove onto the ferry at the port before arriving at Ange Island. The car drove along the highway for ten kilometers before coming to a stop in a quiet rural area. Beside the Ange Mountain in the middle of Ange Island was a small military inspection station.
Behind the inspection station was a hollow cave. After the modification of construction robots, the cave was composed of tens of thousands of square meters of interior s.p.a.ce.
The place was previously used to store the BM-21 purchased from Russia. After the successful development of “Fireball-1,” the secret warehouse was temporarily abandoned.
Afterward, because Xin gradually obtained recognition of the international press, UA and other countries increased their intelligence-gathering work in Xin. To avoid secrets being leaked, the previous warehouses at the south port were abandoned. Therefore, this warehouse was officially renamed “Xin National Strategic Supplies Reserve Center” and became the distribution center between the two worlds.
Every week, food and mining supplies were transported into the cave. There were also occasional container-sealed kinetic skeletons, power armors, and Type-50 electromagnetic pulse cannons being transported out and s.h.i.+pped to New Moon Island.
Aside from the four Celestial Trade soldiers stationed at the gate and Jiang Chen, no one else was permitted to approach the inspection station.
The highest level of security was offered inside the cave.
Five Reptile robots and ten Python drones were used to patrol the area and attack any unidentified units attempting to enter the cave. The transportation of supplies was conducted through the construction robots with a maximum security level.
With the disguise of the mountain, even spy satellites couldn’t get a glimpse of their activities. UA experts suspected that the location was a secret military factory of Celestial Trade since there were living supplies and manufacturing supplies being transported in and military equipment transported out, but the CIB agents were still clueless about the internal structure.
No one could sneak in with the intensive security measures.
Ayesha stayed outside to keep watch while Jiang Chen walked into the cave alone. After he delivered everything, he still needed to return to the mansion as he wanted to make his travel point his home, not the desolated cave.
Jiang Chen gazed at the warehouse full of supplies. He picked up the supplies list from the construction robot and briefly glanced through it.
800 tons of grain products, 400 tons of easy-to-store vegetables, 300 tons of dairy products, 200 tons of canned food, 100 tons of preserved food, and fresh meat stuffed into tens of giant freezers… as well as some snacks.
For some strange reason, spicy strips sold extremely well on the wasteland. The evil food made out of preservatives and gluten had long gone extinct in the 22nd century, but it was reintroduced by Jiang Chen as an interdimensional traveler… Of course, this was out of the context of the story.
Jiang Chen sighed at the mountain of supplies and put on the bracelet designed by Lin Lin.
Once the Garden of Eden was completed, this general no longer needed to be a farm mover.
…
The supplies from the modern world were still piled in the backyard of the mansion. NAC officials were no longer shocked by their general’s ability to magically transport supplies from the outside. It wasn’t that no one was interested, but people were afraid to probe deeper. They were afraid that if they learned something they shouldn’t have known, the private force may shut them up for good.
Jiang Chen handed to list to w.a.n.g Qin then returned to his bedroom before traveling back to the modern world.
When he returned to his home in the modern world, he laid down on this bed and adjusted his “save point” before initiating travel again.
As soon as he came back to the wasteland and before he could gain his footing, he was “chewed on” by Sun Jiao, who flew toward him.
With the warmth pressed against his chest and gorgeous face in front of his eyes, Jiang Chen’s breaths began to shorten and his mind turned flirtatious.
If it wasn’t for someone else standing beside them, he would’ve had the impulse to “finish her” right here.
“Sister has been missing you dearly since you haven’t been on this side for a long time. She’s been thinking ‘What if he doesn’t want to come back to this side anymore?’ ‘Is he unhappy that he didn’t get to eat the small animal?’ She also says ‘Don’t leave…’ at night along with some other strange murmurs at night—” Sun Xiaorou, in a light purple dress, stood there with her hands behind her back with a pure smile on her face.
“Shut up, idiot!”
Sun Jiao gave her sister a hard stare, but the response she got was just her sister’s pure and innocent look.
The two sisters were both mischievous and naughty.
“Sorry.”
Jiang Chen hugged her slim but athletic waist and gave apologies to the beauty in his arms.
Although he had visited this side in the past half year, had dinner with the girls, shared intimate moments with Sun Jiao and Sun Xiaorou, examined the work of NAC, observed the training of the three divisions, and took away high tech products…
But just as Sun Xiaorou said, he hadn’t been here for a long time.
Since he set his focus on the modern world and the political crisis of MLL Island made him exert too much energy. During negotiations with UA, he almost threw all his chips on the bargaining table. The quantum satellites, robots, and Penglai all made him completely occupied.
“I don’t want to listen to your apologies.” Sun Jiao gazed into his pupils with her arms around his neck.
“Mhmm.”
Jiang Chen gently kissed her lips. He sensed her affection.
Their lips parted.
Sun Jiao curled in front of Jiang Chen’s chest and her eyes briefly scanned her sister behind her out of embarra.s.sment before quickly looking away.
“Hmm… Garden of Eden is almost complete; the environment here can’t be worse compared to your home.” The next words came out with great difficulty: “Could you… not abandon this side?”
“How could I abandon this side?”
This was his second home.
“Woah! So devious. I want to kiss brother-in-law as well.” Sun Xiaorou timidly shook her dress and blinked playfully at Jiang Chen.
“Ahem… could you not call me that?” Jiang Chen face-palmed.
The t.i.tle brother-in-law made him feel extremely guilty.
But why did he feel almost thrilled at the same time???
