Chapter 313: You have two choices
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi
When Wang Zhaowu, who was responsible for the camp, knew Jiang Chen would be staying for a few days, he personally cleaned out a comfortable office and bedroom for him. He also told Jiang Chen to let him know if he had any concerns.
But Jiang Chen didn’t bother the camp staff nor did he interrupt the normal operation of the camp. When he was bored, he sat in front of the table and began writing.
“Your message has been sent to the underground.” Xu Lu walked into the command office as she smiled looking at Jiang Chen writing at the table.Jiang Chen dropped the pen in his hand as he stretched and stood up from his chair.
“Wu Yaguo’s response?”
“They rejected it and expressed their shock to our decision.”
Jiang Chen didn’t look surprised at all. “That’s expected, what’s their answer?”
It was expected. Whether it was their rejection, or shock.
“They locked the elevator and closed the door of the fallout shelter. They want you to examine the friendship between the two parties calmly.” Xu Lu smiled.
Hearing that, Jiang Chen burst out laughing and shook his head.Too naïve.
“Boss, what if they follow Han Junhua’s strategy?” Xu Lu asked in a quiet voice.
“Lock the door? Haha, that’s impossible.”
Looking at the confident expression on Jiang Chen’s fae, Xu Lu was slightly puzzled. With her intelligence, she could think through the strategy to make the residents of the fallout shelter start a coup, but she was unsure why Jiang Chen was so confident with them not locking the door.
A hint of confusion naturally didn’t escape Jiang Chen’s eyes, but he only smiled and didn’t explain.
“Speaking of this, what’s the maximum capacity of the elevator?”
“Based on its design, 20 tons,” Xu Lu was more confused as she answered. She did not understand why Jiang Chen asked such a question.
“20 tons? Okay. From today on, every noon, send people to dump two tons of sand down to the ground.
Xu Lu thought for a moment before a sudden realization smile appeared on her face.
“As you wish, boss. Any other things you need?”
Jiang Chen scanned the regulation still yet to be completed on the table as he felt slightly wary. He then thought for a moment before responding.
“Mhmm… Where is Han Junhua?”
“In the basement of the camp.”
A dubious smile spread on the surface his face.
“I am tired now, take me to see her.”
…
Han Junhua’s current condition would disappoint the representatives and Wu Yaguo.
After Xu Lu had taken her to the surface, the torture and humiliation she imagined didn’t come. In fact, she didn’t receive any inhumane treatment.
Or rather, the Fishbone base was treating her too nicely.
She was surprised, but when she asked Xu Lu, she only received a mysterious smile.
The medical professional treated the wounds and bruises on her face and connected her broken ribs. With their current medical condition, it was easy to treat these types of injuries. However, what surprised her was that the survivors on the wasteland possessed such technology.
Immediately, she was taken to the basement.
The bed was soft, and there were a table and chair. Although thick chains hung on the wall, no one cuffed her.
Once it was time for food, a young female soldier would bring in steamy dishes for her. If she wanted to go to the bathroom, the same female soldier would put her in handcuffs, point at her with a taser, and send her to the washroom.
This confused her. Did he only want to lock her up?
Just like this, two days passed.
The metal door to the basement opened, a male and a female walked in.
When she saw Jiang Chen’s’ half-smiling face, Han Junhua was surprisingly calm.
Just like the day she stood in front of the type 50 electromagnetic pulse cannon and faced Jiang Chen with a pistol to her head while she counted with her emotionless voice.
Jiang Chen pulled up a chair in front of the former fallout shelter leader. Xu Lu stood beside him and smilingly looked Han Junhua in the eyes without saying a word.
“What are your thoughts?” Jiang Chen looked at the calm Han Junhua as he said with a grin.
Her luscious black hair dropped to her shoulder, under the two delicate eyebrows were a pair of peaceful eyes. The bruises could still be seen, but after treatment will disappear in no time. Her uniform was changed into regular fallout shelter clothes. The tight-fitting clothes drew out her lithe figure.
He heard that she was beaten in the fallout shelter, but she looked alright now.
“Are you here to mock me?”
“Of course not. But you don’t seem to be afraid? You have nothing to threaten me with now.” Jiang Chen laughed.
Han Junhua didn’t say a word as she just quietly looked at him, just like during their initial meeting.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Jiang Chen continued, “How does it feel to be betrayed by the citizens you protected? Despair? Hatred? Disbelief-”
“Unfortunately, none.” Han Junhua shook her head, “What is your plan for me?”
None?
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. “What do you think my plan is with you?”
“Vein injection.”
“What is that?”
“A humane way of dying. Of course, if you find it troublesome, a bullet is enough too.”
“No, I think you are mistaken. It would be a waste of god sent if I execute you.” Jiang Chen laughed.
Although she had flaws in her personality which made her unfit for a management role, after some tweaking, she would be great for a role in the military.
Till the current stage, the Fishbone base didn’t lack talent in any other areas except for commander talent.
When they fought, it was just raindrop-like bombs, then an infantry charge. This type of battle strategy would be enough for small-scale battles but followed by the growth of the Fishbone base, he couldn’t expect his enemies to continue to be weak.
From their initial countering, Jiang Chen had plans to recruit her. The colonel of PAC, although he didn’t know why she became the leader of the fallout shelter, to be able to control a divisional level of battle was nothing to scorn about.
“My loyalty only belongs to the PAC,” this girl was clearly not cooperative as she said emotionlessly.
“But that doesn’t exist anymore.”
“Do you really think so?” Han Junhua asked.
Jiang Chen paused for a moment as he thought she has yet to learn the reality of the surface.
Therefore, he contemplated before speaking.
“PAC? Go find them lightyears away. You have two choices in front of you, join me, or-”
Jiang Chen took out a pistol from his pack, with a “clang” sound he loaded the gun. Before smashing the pistol on the table in front of Han Junhua, he provocatively looked her in the eyes.
Xu Lu worriedly looked at the pistol on the table, and then at the expressionless Han Junhua. She gently dragged Jiang Chen’s arm, “Boss…”
She was worried that Han Junhua would do something that endangers Jiang Chen.
“Don’t worry, go for now.” Jiang Chen waved his hand as he signaled to her not to worry.
Although she was worried, Jiang Chen’s order for every “knight” was absolute. Xu Lu gave a look of warning to Han Junhua before she closed the door behind her.
Han Junhua glanced at the gun on the table and looked at Jiang Chen questioningly.
But Jiang Chen only responded with three concise words.
“Live, or die.”
Han Junhua was silent, and then she picked up the gun.
Jiang Chen calmly looked at her.
Then, she pointed the pistol at her temple, just like when they first met that morning.
“You… Why bother?” Jiang Chen used a helpless voice.
“My mission has already been completed. To die as a soldier is my glory.”
Is every PAC official so stubborn?
“It’s hard to understand.” Jiang Chen looked at her as if she was a monster.
“You didn’t belong to that era, you wouldn’t understand.”
As she said this, she pressed the trigger.
Jiang Chen shook his head and closed his eyes.
The sound of the striker being hammered diffused into his ear-
