Chapter 1377: Containers Stacked like a Mountain

Translator: _Min_  Editor: Rainystars

A large warehouse that covered an area of ​​tens of acres, topped by an opaque graphene roof, was located between Town of Shenxiang and Fishbone Base. It was the suburb of Wanghai, but also the center of the NAC military government. The first Garden of Eden built by NAC was on the edge of Dianshan Lake, northwest of Wanghai. In the direction of Jiaxing, there were a large number of military factories and military bases built by NAC.

Under normal circumstances, this huge warehouse was always full of T-3 and T-4 power armors just manufactured by the military factories at the Sixth Street, as well as K2 kinetic skeletons mounted with optical engines, or used spacecraft fixed by Jiang Lin and other technologists.

This warehouse was heavily guarded by the First Division, and a radius of one kilometer was designated as the controlled zone. Any survivors who attempted to approach would be persuaded or ordered to leave.

For those who decided not to leave…

Probably no one would treat their own life with such carelessness.

On certain days, the army stationed near the warehouse would inexplicably receive a transfer order and then withdraw from the military restricted area completely. Once another group of soldiers and the trucks from logistics department arrived, the high-tech equipment in the warehouse were often replaced with containers filled with different necessities and goods.

Then the workers would load the containers onto heavy trucks with cranes and celebrate the day as if it was a holiday. Then they would ship the goods to the logistics centers near the Garden of Eden and separate everything into categories.

As for how often this special day happened…

It depended on the mood of the NAC General.

When Jiang Chen was free to transport materials between the two worlds.

Today was that special day, and the logistic trucks were lined up outside the warehouse.

Trucks were like commodities on the assembly line as they entered the warehouse from the east, waited for the cranes to load the goods, and then left the warehouse in a straight line from the west. Under the command of the logistics officials, they transported to their respective locations in an orderly fashion.

“Fifty containers stuffed with canned meat, my goodness…Where do you think these good things come from?” A logistic official who helped load the trucks exclaimed as he counted the giant mountain-like pile of containers against the checklist in his hands.

As a civil servant in the logistics department of the NAC military government, he recalled that when he came here a few days ago, it was a warehouse full of power armors and K2 kinetic skeletons. It didn’t take long before they became tons of food, supplies, and metal ingots.

An older worker who just loaded a counted container onto the truck wiped the sweat from his forehead. He watched the truck that left for the exit in the operating room, then tossed the heavily stained towel onto the station while he jokingly cussed.

“Don’t ask so much! Just focus on your work! If the count is wrong, you’ll have a lot more to worry about!”

“Whatever! How can I count wrong?”

The inside of the warehouse was bustling and so was the outside.

Next to the stream of vehicles moving forward, Jiang Chen handed a list to Wang Qing and at the same time reminded.


“The list is here, remember to double-check. It will be a busy few days.”

“Not at all.” Wang Qing smiled humbly. She nodded and said, “This is my job after all.”

A container could hold 800-952 boxes of goods. Jiang Chen sent 50 containers of canned meat this time. Based on 30 canned meat products per box, the number of canned meats alone was 1.35 million.

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Wang Qing.

Jiang Chen still remembered that when Wang Qing was first appointed as the head of logistics, she was just a timid and shy girl with freckles on the tip of her nose and a pair of glasses fixed on her face. The reason why she was appointed as the head of the logistics was that on the one hand, she was an accountant before the war, and on the other hand, she just needed to manage the small warehouse that was only a few dozen square meters in the backyard of the mansion. It was better to find a timid and fearful person than to find a fierce one.

With the expansion of Fishbone Base and the NAC territory, the burden on her had gradually increased. From the initial warehouse clerk to the head of logistics, and now, together with Lu Huasheng, who started in construction, became one of the most senior officials in the civil service system of the NAC military government. Her transformation up till now had been quite astounding.

“I have to thank General for giving me this opportunity.” Wang Qing smiled and her eyes gleamed with gratitude.

“Don’t flatter me, I didn’t teach you anything, but I often ask for your help.” Jiang Chen laughed, “By the way, are there any guys you like? Cheng Weiguo’s children can almost go and buy soy sauce themselves now and even Lu Huasheng got married quietly. In the first thirty people, you are the only one that’s still single, which is somewhat odd. So, if there’s someone you like, I can call the shots for you.”

“General, are you serious?” Wang Qing blinked and said.

“Of course.” Jiang Chen raised his chin and said with a joking smile, “As long as you don’t encourage me to destroy other people’s families, I can’t do that kind of thing.”

“Haha,” she had an urge to say something for a moment, but in the end, Wang Qing just pursed the corner of her mouth, swallowed that sentence, smiled, and shook her head, “I have dedicated my life to NAC. I haven’t found anyone I like for the time being.”

“You must remember to tell me if you find someone you like! Don’t tell me after you get married.” Jiang Chen jokingly scolded.

Wang Qing smiled.

“Okay!”

Not surprisingly, the entire warehouse had been working tirelessly from noon until dark. Wang Qing moved another group of staff from the logistics department, and everyone worked around the clock to load the trucks. After Jiang Chen saw that there was no place he could help, he returned to the mansion.

When Yao Yao saw her beloved big brother come back, she happily jumped into Jiang Chen’s arms and rubbed her face against his chest. Then she ran into the kitchen to prepare dinner for him.

Sun Jiao dragged him to the sofa in the living room and sat down. After a while, Xiaorou, who noticed the noise downstairs, also came down and sat opposite Jiang Chen. She playfully grabbed his arm.

“You finally came back,” Sun Jiao pouted, but when she looked him in the eyes, a lot of her complaints disappeared right away.

When the atmosphere gradually became sensual, Xiaorou, the third wheel, coughed at an untimely moment. With her index finger pressed to her lower lip, she grinned naughtily.

“Yes, you finally came back. When brother-in-law was away, my sister was quite lonely. Every time she took a shower, she would—”

“You,” Sun Jiao’s cheeks immediately turned red, and she glared at her sister fiercely, she wanted to cover her mouth, “What nonsense are you speaking!”

“AHHH, don’t come here, I just want to say, you take a long bath every day, hahaha, it’s itchy,” Xiaorou hid half of her body behind Jiang Chen and giggled while she tried to avoid the claws of her sister. Then, she looked to Jiang Chen pitifully and sought help, “Brother-in-law, my sister wants to bully me, help me bully her, okay?”

“Okay, okay, stop fooling around.”

It took a lot of effort to separate the embarrassed Sun Jiao from the pretending-to-be-pitiful Xiaorou. After the two sisters settled down, Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then looked at the closed door on the other side of the living room, and asked in confusion, “By the way, where is Lin Lin? Did she fall asleep so early today?”

“Lin Lin has been in the lab for the past while,” When Jiang Chen brought up Lin Lin, Sun Jiao looked worried, “You should go see her later, she misses you too.”

“Mhmm.” After stroking Sun Jiao’s hair, Jiang Chen nodded seriously, “I’ll go now.”
