I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)
chapter-1018

Chapter 1018 Do you dare to do this again?

“Do you dare to do this again?” Jiang Chen’s hand stopped in mid-air as he looked at Natasha who was begging for mercy; a smug look appeared in his eyes.

“No…No!”

Although she didn’t exactly know what he was referring to, she did not dare to be argumentative at this moment.

Watching Natasha’s blond hair swing back and forth, Jiang Chen finally nodded in satisfaction and put down his raised hand.

Training seemed to be successful.

Natasha glared at Jiang Chen with a hateful look and turned her head back. Jiang Chen was not surprised either, if someone slapped his butt, he would feel hateful towards them too. However, compared to being hated, he was more worried that she would again disappear on him without saying a word.

“Do you know why I slapped your butt?”

“…” Natasha didn’t speak, her lips pressed tightly together.

“Do you know how worried I was?”

Although he couldn’t see her face, he could clearly feel the tensed muscles in her abdomen relax slightly.

Jiang Chen smiled and didn’t speak further. He released her wrist and waist and then let her go.

Natasha, who “regained her freedom”, did not come down from his lap. She just stayed in his lap.

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly heard the sound of splashing water.

That sound was very soft and very quiet as if a pearl had fallen on the sofa.

He froze for a second, then reached out to comb her hair back. When he saw her teary eyes, he suddenly panicked.

Although he wanted to punish this girl, he never wanted to make her cry.

Just as Jiang Chen was helplessly looking for ways to appease her, Natasha’s right hand pressed against the sofa and she slid down from his lap. Then she looked at him.

Due to the lack of room inside the car, she could only kneel in front of him as she softly bit her lower lip. Her face was written with weariness and bloodstains were still visible at the corners of her mouth, and now tears were emerging from her eyes.

“I hate you.”

“I—”

Jiang Chen was just about to say something, but his lips were quickly blocked by Natasha who rode onto his legs. A soft and indescribable thing aggressively entered his lips, causing havoc.

Suddenly, the frightened Ayesha accidentally stepped on the gas and almost knocked off Jiang Chen’s teeth

With a glorious and victorious expression, Natasha wiped the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and said fiercely.

“I hate you… you stole my heart.”

This time, Ayesha almost stepped on the brakes, and Jiang Chen in the back was completely stunned.

Although he was moved, it was exactly like the plot of a romantic comedy.

But it was not the time for Jiang Chen to think about this. With both of his hands around her waist, he coughed, then continued the plot.

“Then just hate me forever.”

However, this seemed to have worked extremely well.

Natasha’s eyes gleamed with tears as she “munched” on him.

Enjoying the softness, for a glimpse of a second, Jiang Chen noticed with the corner of his eyes that even Ayesha, who had never been jealous, started to pout.

…

To avoid the Ukrainians and Arrow on their journey home, Jiang Chen made Ayesha take the long way. Instead of crossing the Russian-Ukrainian border directly from the forest on the east, they drove along the forest to Starobersk and took a detour of more than fifty kilometers.

Although they were already far away from Donetsk’s front line, driving at night was still very dangerous. Turning on the lights could cause them to be detected easily from a far distance, but driving without lights meant that they could accidentally drive into a ditch. The most pressing issue now was to find a safe spot to spend the night.

Fortunately, at the edge of the forest, Ayesha discovered a logging yard. Judging from the rusty iron gate and the mushrooms on the woods, this logging site seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Since there was no owner, they requisitioned this logging yard.

After they drove into the warehouse, Ayesha stepped out of the vehicle and deployed four Hummingbird drones into the area. She then connected the drones to the terminal at the back of the vehicle.

Jiang Chen was taking out the outdoor gasoline stove from the trunk of the vehicle. There was no shortage of food and water, so he started to cook noodles in the middle of the warehouse.

It didn’t take long before the delicious aroma filled the warehouse. The three people soon started to slurp on the noodles placed in stainless-steel bowls.

The noodle was far from delicious as the ingredients were dried meat and dehydrated vegetables, but they devoured the food. Jiang Chen didn’t mind the taste of his food, Ayesha enjoyed whatever Jiang Chen cooked… As for Natasha, it was purely out of hunger.

In the past two days, she only drank the sour nutrient supply. It was the first time she even ate anything remotely hot.

As the night grew darker, the three laid their sleeping bags in the middle of the warehouse and then arranged their lookout schedule. Originally, Ayesha insisted Jiang Chen does not participate, saying that she could watch two shifts. However, in the end, she could not convince him and had to agree to include him.

Ayesha would take the first shift. With a long day of driving tomorrow, for the safety of everyone, Jiang Chen insisted on putting her in the first shift.

After extinguishing the fire of the gasoline stove, darkness gradually returned to the warehouse.

As his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, Jiang Chen saw through the faint moonlight that Natasha, in her sleeping bag, was staring at him with her emerald eyes.

“Still awake?” Jiang Chen closed the zipper of his sleeping bag and smiled.

“I can’t fall asleep that fast.”

“It’s better to go to bed early. We still have a long way to go tomorrow. By the way, speaking of it, it was you that night…”

“Don’t say it.” Realizing what he wanted to say, Natasha looked away while interrupting him. “It took a lot of determination.”

“No, what I want to say is that I didn’t feel that night at all. When will we have another in-depth session?” Jiang Chen said with a smirk.

There was a curvature on her mouth, and Natasha said while raising her eyebrows.

“Okay, once we go back.”

The two chatted, and soon their sleepiness started to catch up to them.

Jiang Chen was yawning and just about to pass out when Natasha suddenly asked in a quiet voice.

“How did you know I was here?”

“When the soldiers under my command were in the north, they met a captive named Skanov. He claimed to be an informant of the Russian Security Service. He mentioned your name when proving his identity.

“Is that so? Skanov is not dead yet.” Natasha sighed with relief, “Yes, what about the document?”

“The document?” Jiang Chen was confused.

Natasha’s face suddenly turned pale, and the sleepiness she had accumulated instantly disappeared.

“You didn’t get it?”

Jiang Chen frowned.

“Be clear, what document is it, what is on that document?”

“It’s a list… The organization asked Skanov to withdraw, and the list contains the intelligence resources he can use. There is also an encrypted file, I don’t know what it is, I only know it is important!”

“Tell me the name of the informant,” Jiang Chen said.

Natasha’s expression was a little hesitant at first since this involved the Russian Security Service’s confidential information on the Ukrainian issue. Even if Celestial Trade was an ally, the organization was not part of Russia.

Jiang Chen knew what she was thinking and yawned.

“Forget it.”

“Mario Melnikov.”

“Just one?” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and gave Natasha a surprised look.

“And also…”

After reporting the entire list, Natasha seemed to have had her energy drained away as she hid her head in the sleeping bag, upset.

“Is this treason…”

“It must be, but you can save the lives of those informants,” Jiang Chen said while editing the audio file. Then, he sent the file to the Ghost Agent Headquarters through quantum satellites. “Why don’t you immigrate to Xin once the war is over? ”
