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

Chapter 1197 Thank You For Using Eden Technology

The steel tracks broke one after another, and the suspending cables continued to collapse. The steel fragments mixed with concrete debris hailed down from the air.

Instead of immediately turning on the vortex engine, Jiang Chen kept gliding down, using the debris as cover to move toward the edge of the city.

While gliding, his eyes were locked on the ground, searching for any potential incoming missiles.

Fortunately, no missiles headed his way.

When the altitude dropped to 500 meters, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, and the vortex engines ignited with a full thrust to halt the fall.

“BOOM!”

Both feet planted deep into the ground, and the impact wave hitting the ground blew dust and gravel a dozen meters away, formed cracks along the surface of the road.

When he looked down at Yao Yao, he was relieved.

The lovely face was obviously startled, but fortunately, she was not hit by flying debris.

Jiang Chen opened the mask on the helmet and looked at Yao Yao, “Are you okay?”

Yao Yao’s soul seemed to have returned to her body. Lying in Jiang Chen’s arms, she looked into his concerned eyes and nodded firmly.

“I’m good.”

“Phew,” looking at the girl’s courageous expression, he smiled softly. Then he looked at the other side of the street. He took a deep breath before his seriousness returned. “It’s not safe here, we have to get out of here as soon as possible. You have to hang on for just a while longer.”

Although he was not attacked when he fell, he was not sure whether or not Ding Liwei’s people saw him. If they were on their way to his landing spot, every second they stayed where they were would increase the dangerousness of the situation.

“No problem.” Yao Yao tightly grabbed onto the nylon buckle on the power armor, then she pressed her face on Jiang Chen’s chest and closed her eyes. Her gentle voice had a hint of tenacity, “Yao Yao is prepared!”

“Hold on tight.”

The sliding wheels popped out and the vortex engines reignited its blue flames, pushing the power armor toward the other side of the street.

While maintaining high-speed movement, Jiang Chen opened the communication channel and established contact with Lu Fan.

“…Where are you?”

“We have three people here, in… in a building? DAMMIT! Someone is nearby…”

There were chaotic gunshots on the other side, occasionally accompanied by one or two explosions and the sound of broken glass.

Obviously, Lu Fan encountered Ding Liwei’s force, and there was no doubt it was the Second Militia’s power armor company!

According to the information provided by Song Chenyu, the power armor company was made up of a full hundred people…

“Their people… there are too many power armors!”

“Don’t directly engage with them! Can you retreat?” Jiang Chen said immediately.

“We should be able to retreat. The P-series has one less set of vortex engines! Where should we reconvene?”

Where should we reconvene?

Jiang Chen just wanted to report a position but realized that he did not have a map here.

“…just pick a direction first. I will provide a gathering place immediately!”

“Just pick a direction?! O…kay!”

As soon as the communication ended, Jiang Chen was about to release the reconnaissance drone, but a series of red dots flashed on the radar. These red dots were separated into three groups, from three directions, they surrounded him, blocking all directions of escape.

The enemy had already discovered him.

“Fu*k!” He cursed in a whisper.

Immediately, he stopped the gliding momentum of the wheels and turned a corner at a forty-five degrees angle. He rushed straight up the stairs in front of an office building and smashed through a locked front door. He then retrieved the wheels before running upstairs.

Stopped at the top floor, Jiang Chen picked an office and broke through the door.

“Wait for me here, I’ll be back soon.”

Jiang Chen left Yao Yao in the office. He looked at her eyes, and after leaving some serious instructions, he walked out.

In the hallway outside the office, Jiang Chen turned on the life signal detection radar, and his eyes locked on the series of red dots.

Based on the flashing red dots, at least 20 power armors were in the building. There were four or more located in each of the four directions of the office building.

The equipment of both sides was all the best available in the 22nd century. Once an enemy entered the vicinity, they were all each other’s hunters and prey. It was impossible to escape unless Jiang Chen was familiar with the terrain.

Unfortunately, in a battle happening on an entirely foreign battlefield, both the hunter and the prey, were completely clueless. It was already difficult not to get lost, let alone escape the pursuant.

Jiang Chen recognized the situation and decided not to run

Without a doubt, it would be almost impossible to escape the pursuit of a group of power armors while holding a person.

It was better to get rid of the troubles while no one was around!

“If you really miss me, let me make your dream come true.”

With a murderous vibe, Jiang Chen swung his right hand and tossed out two drone hives from the storage dimension. Dozens of Hummingbirds emerged from the drone hives and formed several attack formations in the air. The muzzles underneath the drones exuded a deadly reflection.

Then, four Reptile drones and four Python drones were also placed into the battlefield, and together with the Hummingbird drone attack groups, they rushed toward the floor below.

In the modern world, these drones would be enough for him to sweep the victory.

But in the apocalypse full of technology, it would be too arrogant to think these drones could eliminate a group of power armors.

But with a few nuclear grenades, a few plasma bombs, he certainly could stand a fighting chance…

…

What to do?

Being left in the office, Yao Yao looked around anxiously.

Although Jiang Chen did not say anything to her, she had already vaguely guessed that the Second Militia was after them. And the reason why he decided to stop running and enter this building was most likely because of her.

As soon as Yao Yao thought that she had become his burden, tears quickly began to roll down her face.

I came… came to help him, but…

Using her sleeves to wipe her teary eyes, Yao Yao bit her lower lip and began to search the office she was in.

Just then, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Near the wall, she found an interface of the data line.

Sitting next to the desk, Yao Yao quickly took out her tablet and placed it in her lap. She pulled the dusty data cable off the desk and attached it to her tablet.

Looking at the line [Connection Successful] on the screen, the little girl shook her fist in excitement.

It works!

Although she did not know if she could help, she must try!

As her fingers began tapping at lightning speed and lines of codes started to flood the holographic screen, muffled explosions started ringing in her ears. Soon sweat began to form on her forehead as she desperately tried to calm her nervous heartbeat.

[Data transfer is complete, acquiring permission…]

Faster!

Her little fist clenched tightly as she looked at the progress bar on the holographic screen and began praying.

Finally, there was the melodious sound.

An instant look of joy reflected through her lovely big eyes but it was quickly replaced by shock.

The line of words that appeared on the screen was…
