The night sky in New York is filled with stars, shining like countless diamonds on a black tapestry.
Shen Yi sat on the balcony and looked up at the sky, motionless for a long time.
The door to the room was pushed open quietly, and a figure walked in gently.
Stepping on silent steps, approaching Shen Yi step by step...
Shen Yi suddenly spoke: "It is said that women are born in the year of cats and walk silently. It really makes sense."
The figure who came in quietly let out a sweet laugh.
It turns out to be gentle.
She put her little hand on Shen Yi's shoulder: "How did you know it was me?"
"If it was Hong Lang, he would kick in the door; if it was King Kong, he would knock on the door before coming in; only women would have the leisure to play such a little trick to scare people." Shen Yi turned around with a smile. To gentleness.
Under the night, Wen Wen wore a snow-white evening gown with a low-cut long skirt, revealing a large piece of snow-white chest, with a faintly visible mound. There was also a string of diamond necklaces hanging on her chest, and an emerald bracelet on her wrist.
She was smiling at him.
"Are you wearing makeup?" Shen Yi was a little surprised. She put on some blush, some eye shadow, and a pair of false eyelashes on her gentle face. Her big, bright eyes became more lively and cute with the long eyelashes.
"Does it look good?" Wen Wen asked.
"good."
"I thought you didn't like women wearing makeup."
"Men don't like women who don't like makeup, they don't like women who don't look good with makeup, or women who have nightmares after taking off makeup." Shen Yi smiled and said: "You are already very good-looking, and putting on more makeup will be the icing on the cake. , there’s nothing wrong with it.”
"You are good at coaxing girls."
"I'm just telling the truth. By the way, where did the necklace and earrings come from?"
"When you asked the soldiers to help you find Armani, I asked them to take it with me." Wen Wen said with a smile.
Shen Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
Women are women, and they naturally like shiny things.
"Since my soldiers got it for you, do you have to count it as a gift from me?" Shen Yi asked.
Wen Wen tilted her head playfully and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No, the bloody point of recruiting soldiers was done by Fatty, and the order was given by me. You are renting labor at best. If you want me to thank you, give it to me personally. Bring the stuff over here."
"In the bloody city, diamond necklaces and jade bracelets are not considered good things."
Pointing at Shen Yi tenderly: "You said so, then tell me, what gift should you give me?
"You will take advantage of it."
"Women are best at asking men for gifts."
"But this is not Earth."
"Only the environment has changed, not the people."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Yes, it is only the environment that has changed, not the people.
Shen Yi sighed.
He said softly: "But the problem is... to survive in this place, we often have to eliminate humanity."
The tenderness is speechless.
She moved a small soft stool and sat down next to Shen Yi. She looked at the starry sky under the night sky and murmured: "The little guy cried very sadly just now. They don't look like the unreal existence we thought at all. On the contrary, We adventurers are becoming less human. What we face every day is blood and killing, and what we think about every day is survival and strength... We are like machines, mechanically and rigidly executing the orders of the bloody city. No The right to resist and no right to bargain. Compared to them, I think we are NPCs."
Shen Yi said calmly: "You think too much. Thinking about such problems will only distract you and make you unable to concentrate. That is not good for you."
"But we are facing it!"
"Then continue to face it!" Shen Yi suddenly stood up: "This is not a journey without an end. In the center of the bloody city, there is a holy tower. As long as we complete all five difficulties and become the marshal, we Then we can enter the Holy Tower and challenge the highest task. At that time, all the answers will naturally appear in front of us. In this case, we should go on well. Although this road is very long, as long as we are alive, we can always go arrive."
Wen Wen looked at Shen Yi blankly.
After a long while, she said: "Are you sure you can go that far?"
Shen Yi turned around without looking at her: "As a human being... you must have a goal."
Chewing Shen Yi's words carefully, looking at Shen Yi's back tenderly, his mind suddenly fell into a trance.
When she came here at this moment, she originally had nothing to do and just wanted to chat with Shen Yi. Unexpectedly, the topic turned serious as soon as it started.
Instinctively, he wanted to find a lighter topic. As his eyes moved, he saw a pair of trousers on the table next to Shen Yi, with needlework and thread on them.
"What's wrong with these pants?" Wen Wen asked curiously.
"Oh, the zipper of the pants is broken, I sewed a few buttons on again."
"Can you still do needlework?"
"It's not difficult." Shen Yi smiled.
Wen Wenwen put the pants back: "It's better to just change into another pair."
Shen Yi smiled and said nothing.
After thinking for a while, he said softly: "It's late, go to bed early."
"I'm not sleepy." Shen Yi thought for a while and said, "Please help me call Luo Hao over."
"What do you want to do with him?"
"Tell him something about fighting. You know sometimes the best way to make a person not afraid of fighting is to let him win and benefit from fighting." Shen Yi smiled and said: "If you can It would be good for all of us to let the fat man play his role. What he lacks now is not just courage..."
Gentle nodded in agreement.
In the fat man's room, the little guy was lying on the bed, seemingly asleep.
Seeing Wen Wen come in, Fatty put his finger to his mouth and made a shushing gesture.
Wen Wenwen asked softly: "Have you coaxed him well?"
"I'm tired of crying, so I went to sleep." The fat man smiled.
"Go to Shen Yi's place. He has something to do with you."
"Then here..." The fat man looked at the little guy with some hesitation.
"It's just a mutant kid who can repair cars. There won't be any problems. Besides, he's already asleep."
The fat man left the room, gave Jerry a gentle look, and then left.
When she woke up in the morning, Shen Yi was brushing her teeth.
The door was kicked open with a bang.
Hong Lang came in carefree: "Congratulations, Shen Yi, you have been dismissed."
"What?" Shen Yi turned around and asked vaguely with a mouth full of toothpaste foam.
"You are no longer number one." Hong Lang grinned and opened the bloody coat of arms.
Twelve hours have passed, and earth-shaking changes have already occurred on the ranking list.
The new first place appeared at midnight yesterday. It was the original second place in the North District. The current kill value is 34 points. The second place is also from the North District, with 32 points. Shen Yi ranked third. As for Wen Wen and others, all of a sudden Dropped to outside the 20th place.
In terms of regional rankings, the North District has also regained the first place, and the South District is catching up, with points that are almost the same as those of the East District.
"It seems that everyone was very busy last night." Shen Yi said while wiping his face with a wet towel.
"Our team is probably the only one who made this regional competition mission so casual. I guess many people didn't sleep last night," Hong Lang replied.
King Kong's words sounded at the door: "This reminds me of the story of the tortoise and the hare. Who are we? Hare that falls asleep because of pride?"
"We may not be rabbits, and those people are not turtles either." Wen Wenwen also walked over.
The fat man also appeared with a grimace: "I'm going to be on the erasure list again."
Early in the morning, everyone gathered in Shen Yi's room.
"It seems that I can't sit still." Shen Yi chuckled.
Indeed, seeing that all the other adventurers had already caught up in just one night, who could stand still? Rushing to 198 Street as soon as possible and getting rid of the mutants there was everyone's only thought now.
Shen Yi tossed the towel: "In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
A new day, a new competition, no one dares to neglect.
Hour 23 of the competition mission.
A group of six people roared out of the hotel. Shen Yi was walking at the front wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, followed by Wen Wen, King Kong and Hong Lang who were also dressed in the same style. They looked like the Neo trio in Black Empire. Group, move quickly and powerfully.
King Kong was the first to jump into the open-top Land Rover off-road vehicle he just bought yesterday. For adventurers, this large-displacement, high-horsepower, square-shaped vehicle with full impact is becoming their favorite.
Sitting in the driver's seat, King Kong smiled and said, "You're driving too crazy, so I'll be the one to show you the way."
Gentle and Qiao smiled sweetly: "No matter who is in charge, he still needs me?"
Shen Yidao: "Men always need women."
Everyone laughed together.
The Land Rover was driving on the road to 198th Street, and National Guard soldiers could be seen everywhere along the way.
The adventurers made a big fuss yesterday, which made the already turbulent New York even more chaotic. Even news reports came out.
Americans would not have thought that such a fuss would last for three full days.
Wen Wen sat in the front row and gave directions while throwing a few walkie-talkies: "I bought this when I went to the mall yesterday. With this, it will be convenient for everyone to communicate without having to go through those summoning soldiers. Bloody City has A special walkie-talkie that can be used in any mission world. If you can earn more this time, everyone should be equipped with it when you go back."
Hong Lang asked in surprise: "You actually still want to go shopping?"
Wen Wen made a graceful gesture of holding up her hair with her hands, and her posture was sultry: "It's just like you still have the heart to appreciate women, it's all natural."
Except for the fat man and the child, the three men in the car laughed at the same time.
At this moment, Shen Yi's intercom suddenly rang.
It's Frost.
"Frost, what's going on?"
"Following your instructions, sir, we are gathering towards 198th Street. During the gathering, one of our soldiers found a signal on the road that you asked us to pay attention to."
Shen Yi was stunned: "You mean a distress signal?"
The distress signal is the contact method that the adventurers in the East District agreed upon before leaving. According to their agreement, although the adventurers in the East District dispersed, they still had to look after each other. Once someone encountered danger or trouble, they would use the distress signal to call other adventurers. The reporter requested support. When Shen Yi issued mission instructions to the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion, he also asked them to pay attention to these signals.
What Shen Yi didn't expect was that just 24 hours after the competition, adventurers had already sent out an emergency signal for help.
"Yes, sir." On the other end of the phone, Frost's voice was still calm and calm.
"Where exactly?"
"Around Fifth Avenue."
No need for Shen Yi to explain, others also heard what Frost said.
An adventurer from the East District was encountering great danger and sent out a distress signal, which shocked everyone.
Wenrou asked hurriedly: "Do you want to help?"
Hong Lang said: "Maybe there are other adventurers who saw the signal and went to help? I think we should take care of ourselves first."
King Kong immediately objected: "Don't always count on others. New York is too big. Whether other adventurers can see it is still a question."
"But who knows if it will be too late now? A battle does not take long." Hong Lang's retort was also reasonable.
"It won't affect anything if we go and take a look. Anyway, we can come back in time to deal with the mutants," Shen Yi said.
At this moment, Frost's voice came through the intercom again: "Sir, there seems to be a situation on 198th Street. Our people have discovered that some mutants seem to be preparing to leave the Isper Church."
"Hell, how could this happen!" Hong Lang punched the car, and he yelled at Shen Yi: "What should we do now?"
Shen Yi's expression also changed.
Suddenly, the mutants on Street 198 suddenly began to move, and the adventurers in this area were in danger.
Hong Lang shouted: "I can't care so much anymore, rush to the street immediately and intercept those mutants. It should be too late now!"
"What about the other companions? Just left alone?" Wen Wenwen said dissatisfied.
"It's too late to take care of yourself, how can you have the time to take care of others?" Hong Lang said.
King Kong reminded: "You'd better not forget that this is a regional competition. If no one saves them, too many of our people will die. If we fall to the last place in the region, everyone will be wiped out."
A murderous look flashed in Hong Lang's eyes: "Then we will kill more mutants to make up for the shortfall. If that doesn't work, we will kill some adventurers from other districts. Didn't we already kill one in the North District?"
Shen Yi interrupted Hong Lang: "Do you think the other party is just a domestic animal waiting for you to kill?! No one is easy to deal with! Believe it or not, you are shouting to kill Luo Hao now, and he dares to fight you!"
The fat man nodded seriously.
Shen Yi patted Hong Lang: "No matter what, we are all Chinese, and we should help each other. Don't forget why the East District is known as the strongest in the bloody city, not because we are individually strong, but because we are united! As long as If conditions permit, we will try our best to help, both for others and for ourselves."
Hong Lang opened his mouth and said after a long time: "Then let those mutants go like this? That is the only gathering point for mutants we know now."
Shen Yi replied: "We'll talk about this later, Gentle, let's check the location of Fifth Avenue first."
"You don't need to search to know that the most famous street in the world is also the most fashionable place for women. A battle there... is like a gun battle in a museum. Burning harps and boiling cranes has a cruel beauty. "
Wen Wen said, clicking on the map, finding Fifth Avenue and zooming in before Shen Yi's eyes.
Shen Yi looked at the map carefully to find the way there. After looking at it for a while, Shen Yi raised his head and said: "The distance is not close. By the time we come back from Fifth Avenue, the mutants on 198 Street will have long disappeared. But for now we still have It’s unclear which team is in danger and what kind of danger it is. What Hong Lang said is not completely unreasonable. We have to save people, but we have to complete our own affairs. Saving people is a good thing. Just sacrifice yourself. I see it this way, you go to 198th Street to chase the mutants, and I will go to Fifth Avenue alone."
"Are you crazy? Do you want to deal with troubles that a group of people can't solve alone?" Hong Lang grabbed Shen Yi's collar and shouted. Although this man is rude, stingy, selfish, and even cruel, he has a lot of problems with his body. , but at least one advantage is that you are absolutely loyal to your friends.
Not many people were included in his circle of friends, but Shen Yi was one of them.
He absolutely cannot accept Shen Yi taking risks alone.
"I didn't say that I had to go into danger alone. This time I was rescuing people, not killing people. The situation was different. I wanted to see the situation over there first and observe it before making a decision. Maybe it can be solved without using force. What’s the problem?”
Hong Lang sneered: "This is a bloody city, not a speaker's platform. Your brain can only be used to assist, not to determine the outcome in one fell swoop!"
"If something cannot be done, I will not force it. I have said that I will save others, but I will not sacrifice myself." Shen Yi said calmly.
These words put everyone at ease.
"What about the killing value?" King Kong asked.
"Just leave some for the paratroopers to kill. They were summoned by me, and their killings are mine."
"Okay then, I think this is the only way." King Kong nodded.
"Are you sure this will work? What if you are discovered..." Wen Wenwen was a little worried.
"Give me your remaining bloody points. If you can't beat me, you can still run away."
Everyone immediately understood what he meant.
Because Wen Wen and the others each left hundreds of blood points before entering the mission world, they all handed them over to Shen Yi at this moment.
Thinking of Shen Yi going alone, Wen Wenwen was a little worried. She looked at Shen Yi with a pair of wonderful eyes. Shen Yi smiled and turned on the walkie-talkie in his hand: "If you have anything to do, please feel free to contact me. Don't worry, I won't hold on."
"We'll try to make a quick decision here. Remember, you'd better not act like a hero when we're not here. If you can, try to delay as much time as possible." King Kong said loudly.
"rest assured."
"There's a fork in the road ahead." Wen Wen called.
"We'll see you later." Shen Yi opened the car door, jumped out of the Land Rover, and rolled on the spot, offsetting the inertia caused by the rapid speed.
Stopping casually in the middle of the road, a black Mercedes-Benz was forced to stop. The owner of the car stuck his head out and yelled at Shen Yi: "Asshole! Get out of the way!"
Shen Yi strode over: "It's just a ride. Can you take me to Fifth Avenue?"
"We drive on different roads!" the car owner said impatiently.
"You will change your mind." Shen Yi was confident.
The muzzle of the spirit fire gun was pointed at the car owner's head.
