It is a small island located in the center of New York, between the Hudson River and the East River. As the smallest borough in New York, it is also the most affluent and prosperous borough in New York.
If the United States is the center of the world and New York is the center of the United States, then Manhattan is the center of New York.
Famous names such as Broadway, Wall Street, the Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, Central Park, the United Nations Headquarters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Opera House and the prosperous places they represent are all concentrated on Manhattan Island. Even the United Nations Headquarters
Also established on the west bank of the East River in Manhattan.
This was once the most coveted holy place. Every move here, even a sneeze, could shake the world's finances.
Someone once said boldly: To destroy the world, all you need to do is destroy Wall Street.
Considering the financial turmoil caused by the subprime mortgage crisis that once swept the world, this statement makes sense.
However, "Wall Street" is actually just a microcosm and concentration point of Manhattan's financial power.
The black Mercedes Benz drove along the avenue. In the old days of Manhattan, pedestrians were always walking in a hurry on the streets, as if millions of dollars of business were being done every minute. The girls were always gorgeous, looking for rich men everywhere.
Rich man, there are high-rise buildings with shiny glass curtain walls everywhere, and skyscrapers are lined up one after another.
But with the outbreak of the American Civil War, Manhattan's prosperity was fading away.
The United Nations Headquarters building at the intersection of First Avenue and 44th Street has been relocated. The Empire State Building on 34th Street in New York has long since collapsed. The tall Statue of Liberty in the distance has been reduced to ruins. The prosperity of Wall Street no longer exists, and the exchange has become
It was empty and deserted.
St. Paul's Cathedral, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Broadway and St. Thomas' Cathedral at the intersection of Wall Street. These representative religious buildings were destroyed in the battle. Religious beliefs were shattered in the chaos. God cannot save his believers.
The only way to save yourself is a gun.
The racial civil war caused serious losses to the United States, and the economy was greatly damaged, and the prosperity of the past was no longer seen.
When the car drove to Fifth Avenue, Shen Yi had seen that Fifth Avenue, where every inch of land was precious and the annual rent was US$10,000 per square meter, was now so depressed that no one cared about it.
The former Fifth Avenue was the Central Street in Manhattan, New York. It was once the world's most famous gold-selling cave, a representative place for top brands, a symbol of nobility and elegance, a leader in fashion, and a place of the highest quality and
Synonymous with taste.
Every woman has dreamed of going shopping on Fifth Avenue, experiencing the money-burning madness in this land where every inch of land is precious, and dreaming that one day she can enjoy a relaxing breakfast in a noble jewelry store.
But now, it's just a pile of rubble.
The most economically prosperous places are always the highest priority targets for attack.
When people yearn for those prosperous metropolises, they never think that once the war starts, these economic lifeline cities are destined to be the first to be destroyed.
Ancient wars were about armies, modern wars were about resources and economy.
The more prosperous and prosperous a place is, the more it is attacked first. Therefore, the Manhattan area became the area with the most intense mutant attacks during the New York Civil War. It was also the area with the most mutants and the most powerful attack power, and also the area with the most chaotic battles.
area.
The government forces, mutant organizations, gang organizations, and social organizations composed of citizens who took up arms to defend themselves have formed a complex distribution of forces here that is constantly being cut and confused, like a criss-crossing network of forces.
It's not unusual for a distress signal to be sent from here.
Through the car window, Shen Yi saw a building in the distance collapsing in a huge explosion.
Fires shot into the sky, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the military and police came from all directions, but no one could control the spreading chaos.
Residents picked up their guns one after another. They had no trust in the government.
I have to say that this is the tragedy of the United States. Whenever a disaster occurs in this democratic society, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the first enemy in the eyes of the people is the government. Just imagine whether it is a hurricane disaster, a volcano disaster, or When any other disaster occurs, the government troops will immediately be hostile to their own citizens. It is understandable why this country has fallen into such a situation.
Of course, there is also the possibility that Bloody City may secretly add fuel to the flames.
There are always adventurers who become impatient after seeing themselves on the erasure list, and finally take the risk and come to Manhattan to try their luck, but here is the abyss of the entire New York.
When he came to Fifth Avenue and looked around, Shen Yi found that there was a gun battle going on here.
No one knew who was fighting whom, there was gunfire everywhere.
Shen Yi turned on the intercom: "Lil, I'm on Fifth Avenue, where are you?"
Leal was the airborne battalion soldier who discovered the distress signal. Frost ordered him to stay here and wait for Shen Yi.
"Sir, I'm observing the fighting. There's fighting everywhere. There are humans, mutants, and gangs. It's chaos. Everyone is like crazy. They shoot at anyone they see! Oh my God, I never I never thought that New York would be so bad sixty years later. It would be World War III!"
“Where do I go to find the person who sent the distress signal?”
"I saw them going to Central Park, sir."
"Got it." Shen Yi cut off the intercom, turned to the car owner and said, "Go to Central Park!"
The car owner was a middle-aged white man. He shouted at Shen Yi: "Are you crazy? It's already hell there, and we are standing on the edge of hell. Do you still want to pull me and jump in with my car?" No! I won’t do it even if you beat me to death!”
Shen Yi casually put the spirit fire gun against the car owner's head and said, "Then I'll beat you to death."
The car owner screamed in fright.
Shen Yi said coldly: "I'll give you two choices. One: be beaten to death by me. Two: I'll drive. You can get off the car, or you can follow me to the destination, and then drive away by yourself, wherever you like. where."
The car owner trembled, thought for a moment and gave Shen Yi a surprising answer: "Okay, you drive, I'll stay in the car."
"You're not as timid as you appear." Shen Yi smiled.
"Because this car is my entire property."
"I hope you insured it."
"Yes, I bought it, but the insurance company went bankrupt and my company was ruined." The car owner was about to cry without tears.
At this moment, another signal flare slowly rose in the sky.
It's a colored flare sent by adventurers, which represents an emergency.
Shen Yi's expression quickly darkened, he threw the car owner into the back seat, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Central Park.
Central Park, once the most beautiful city park in the world's metropolises, is located on Fifth Avenue and Central Park West. This 340-hectare Central Park was once the most coveted place for Chinese artists. Many street artists started here. Make a fortune, sell their work and become famous.
The war also did not let go of this beautiful urban countryside. The Mercedes-Benz roared through Fifth Avenue, which was filled with bullets. The moment it left the intersection, it rushed into the west side of Central Park from the side and ran on the light green grass. Went around the scenic artificial lake frantically looking for the location where the flare was sent.
When arriving at the Central Park Zoo, Shen Yi finally discovered the adventurer.
About a dozen people were confronting each other in the tropical rainforest area.
There were only four people on one side, and as many as seven people on the other side. Ten of the eleven people were adventurers. What surprised Shen Yi was that the four West District adventurers who were racing with them on the road yesterday were also there. Column. They belong to the group of seven, and the other three are also adventurers. From the appearance, one of them with a big beard is obviously Indian, the other two also have Asian faces, and one is short and has an attractive appearance. He may be Vietnamese. The other one looks gangster-like, but I can't tell where he is from.
The West District and the South District have actually joined forces.
The party confronting them was the East Area adventurers who sent out a distress signal, three Chinese adventurers and a bald white young man. The young man was a mutant.
What is surprising is that even though the number of adventurers in the East District is smaller, the party with more people seems to be helpless against the other party.
The three adventurers from the East District formed a glyph and surrounded the mutant boy in a corner. One of the female adventurers with a very good figure was pointing a gun at the mutant boy's head, looking at the others coldly. In front of them Behind him is a paddock where some monkeys are jumping up and down. Some of them are imitating the confrontation with the humans outside, making squeaking sounds from time to time and making faces at the people outside.
Shen Yi's heart moved slightly.
He did not drive directly, but put up the collar of his windbreaker to block his side, pretending to be a passing vehicle, and quickly evacuated after encountering a confrontation. After making a circle, he drove into the artificial rainforest next to him and stopped quietly. Observing.
It was obvious that the mutant was the cause of the war.
Shen Yi guessed that it was probably an adventurer from one side who found the mutant, but adventurers from other areas intervened, and a fight broke out between the two sides. As a result, it fell into the hands of the people from the East District, and the adventurers from the West and South Districts therefore United to deal with the East District, but the Chinese have always been known for their cunning and intelligence, so someone immediately used the mutant as a threat. Although they were on the weaker side, the situation was stalemate. However, it was impossible for them to leave, as long as Can be forced to send out distress signals and call for rescue.
What puzzles Shen Yi is, is it worth fighting for a mutant for such a long time?
Thinking of this, he used mental detection on the bald white young man.
The results of the mental exploration surprised him.
"Nedinil, a fourth-level mutant, has the ability: elimination."
"Level 4 mutant?" Shen Yi could no longer restrain the huge surprise in his heart and almost exclaimed.
