Jiang Chen held onto Yao Yao’s little hand as they strolled around the streets of the Sixth Street, the bustling market gave him a sense of pride and accomplishment .
Resources were becoming plentiful, people no longer looked impoverished, and the clothes on them were no longer made out of mutant fur or rags . Penniless people also no longer have to sell themselves as slaves . NAC’s subsistence allowance didn’t allow these people to live a comfortable life, but they could feed themselves .
The neatly built concrete houses once again stood on top of the ruins, replacing the shacks that used to be made out of iron and wooden supports . The landscape that was originally only seen in the Inner Circle now was common in the Outer Circle, benefiting every survivor in the Sixth Street .
Order in the market no longer needed to be maintained by hanging human heads and bodies treated with formalin . The word law for the first time regained its meaning on this soil . If someone dared to destroy the order, NAC’s fierce garrisons would be the first to let them know their own stupidity .
Almost every month, Jiang Chen took a trip with his guards to the NAC area; sometimes in the Sixth Street, sometimes in Jia City, Hang City, or Hongcheng . Except for Yizhou Island, due to the distance, he visited all the settlements with more than 10,000 people .
The Sixth Street was undoubtedly the most prosperous among all settlements .
The tours served the purpose of observing the people’s living conditions but were mostly used to strengthen his own rule while maintaining his presence among the survivors . If he didn’t appear enough, people wouldn’t remember what he looked like .
The guards in kinetic skeletons surrounded him while the power armors guarded them further away . They left enough space for Jiang Chen and Yao Yao while protecting them in the middle .
No matter where they went, the sight of soldiers, traders, and civilians was always in awe and worship . Some people even stopped and took off their hats to pay tribute .
As the General of the NAC, he was not only the ruler here but also the spiritual leader of the survivors .
Other than the people who admired him, many women worshipped him as a hero and all looked at him keenly, directly revealing their desire . Because of their excellent genes, other than those who were too “skinny”, most of them were stunning .
As for the little girl he was holding, they selectively ignored her . It was not uncommon for polygamy to exist on the wasteland . It was the privilege of the strong and the obligation of the strong to enjoy more spouses .
Even the “civilized people” who only awakened not long after, after they accepted the reality that the civilization they’ve known has disappeared, most remained silent about natural selection, and some even were proactive in seeking stronger spouses . In order to live a life where they didn’t have to survive on nutrient supply, those who passed through the “struggling period” chose to approach powerful men and ignore their many spouses .
The sight of those women made Yao Yao very uncomfortable . The instinctive sense of danger made the little loli fearful, so she tightened her grip on Jiang Chen’s arm .
Before coming out, Sister Sun Jiao cautioned her to look after Brother Jiang Chen, or else there may be more and more sisters at home . She knows exactly what these women want through their gazes, but she couldn’t do anything about them .
Yao Yao pouted with some frustration as she thought about her own body .
Only if my chest is a little bigger…
Although Brother Jiang Chen occasionally kissed her and occasionally did some weird things, all the moves stopped before the final base . She was no longer a child . Even with the inhibitors stunting her growth, she was already twenty years old .

However, Brother Jiang Chen always viewed her as a child . However, she could do the stuff that Sister Sun Jiao and Xiaorou do .
If you don’t try it, how do you know it’s not good?
“Do you not like summer?” Looking at the loli’s puffed mouth, Jiang Chen misunderstood her mind and rubbed her fluffy hair . “This good weather is hard to come by . ”
“I like it, but once summer is over, Brother Jiang Chen will rarely come back…” She moved closer to Jiang Chen and used her little hand to gently grab his sleeve as she muttered in a quiet voice .
“How come? Yao Yao’s hot pot is so delicious, I am looking forward to the winter . ” Holding onto Yao Yao’s small hand again, Jiang Chen smiled .
It would be great if they could fix the Holy Shield System before winter arrives .
The apocalypse already entered the Small Ice Age . For the next while, the weather would only get colder and colder . Wanghai City is located in the south and the effects of the storm would be bearable . Jiang Chen heard that at the beginning of the year, in the area north of Shangjing, the entire settlement was frozen into a dead city, and people who could survive turned into cannibals .
How could the those deeper in the north survive? It was not a problem that can be solved with one or two bottles of vodka .
No one would be spared from this global disaster .

Taking Yao Yao’s small hand, Jiang Chen took his guards to tour a few prosperous areas in the Outer Circle and finally ended this month’s routine inspection .
Yao Yao was sent on the returning helicopter . Jiang Chen did not go back together with her . Instead, he went to the Inner Circle to see Chu Nan, who had just finished a scheduled meeting .
Just half a month ago, when Jiang Chen came back last time, he hired a battleship from the Beluga Observation Station and transported a 50-person investigation unit across the Pacific Ocean to the North American continent .
He had been curious for a long time . Asia was basically in shambles, so what would North America look like?
Although both CCCP and PAC were unable to land in North America, nuclear weapons certainly made frequent visits .
Similarly, Jiang Chen was also curious about Africa . While the whole world was showered by nuclear bombs, Africa surprisingly didn’t get hit due to its poor economic status . They only got secondhand smoke from the monsoon crossing and fought themselves to death .
However, he couldn’t expand to Africa yet due to the distance . It was rumored that monstrous sea beasts over hundreds of meters long roamed in the Indian Ocean . It would be difficult to get to the continent . While many epic mutants dwelled in the Pacific Ocean, the risk was much lower taking the Bering Strait .
After seeing Chu Nan, Jiang Chen got straight to the point .
“Is there any news from North America?”

“According to your request, our people have established an outpost on the West Coast . ”
Although Chu Nan did not understand why the General was interested in North America, he sent a reconnaissance unit . A simple post was built on the ruins of the West Coast, and a radio communication base station was set up to contact the Sixth Street .
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded with satisfaction .
“Oh? Then tell me about it . What is it like there?”
