Chapter 20 Accidental Discovery

24 hours.

Fifth Avenue is located in Manhattan, New York.

It is a small island in the center of New York, between the Hudson and East Rivers. As the smallest district in New York, it is also the wealthiest and most prosperous district in New York.

If America is the center of the world and New York is the center of America, then Manhattan is the center of New York.

Broadway, Wall Street, Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, Central Park, United Nations Headquarters, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Metropolitan Opera House, these famous names and the bustling places they represent are all concentrated on Manhattan Island. Even the headquarters of the United Nations is located on the west bank of the East River in Manhattan.

This was once the most desirable holy place, where every move, even a sneeze, can make the world's financial shock uneasy.

Someone once said: To destroy the world, you only need to destroy Wall Street.

Considering the financial turmoil caused by the subprime mortgage crisis that once swept the world, this statement is also reasonable.

However, "Wall Street" is actually just a microcosm and concentration point of Manhattan's financial power.

The black Mercedes-Benz is driving along the avenue. In the past Manhattan, pedestrians were always hurrying on the street, as if millions of big business were to be done every minute. The girls were always gorgeous and looking for rich Rich man, there are high-rise buildings with shiny glass curtain walls everywhere, and skyscrapers are one after another.

But with the outbreak of the American Civil War, the prosperity of Manhattan is going 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 collapsed, the tall Statue of Liberty in the distance has been turned into ruins, the prosperity of Wall Street no longer exists, and the exchange has changed. 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, and religious beliefs were shattered in chaos. God could not save his believers. The only thing that can save himself is a gun.

The racial civil war has severely damaged the United States, and its economy has been greatly damaged, and the prosperity of the past can no longer be seen.

When the car drove to the fifth avenue, the fifth avenue that Shen Yi had seen before, with an annual rent of 10,000 U.S. dollars per square meter, was now so depressed that no one cares about it.

Fifth Avenue used to be the central street in Manhattan, New York. It used to be the most famous gold selling cave in the world. synonymous with quality.

Every woman has dreamed of shopping on Fifth Avenue, feeling the madness of burning money in this land where every inch of land is expensive, and dreaming that one day she can enjoy a relaxing breakfast in a noble jewelry store.

Now, however, it's just a pile of rubble.

The places with the most prosperous economy are always the top priority targets.

When people yearn for those prosperous metropolises, they will never think that once the war starts, these economic lifeline cities are destined to be the first cities to suffer.

Ancient wars fought for armies, while modern wars fight for resources and economy.

The more prosperous a place is, the more it is attacked first. Therefore, the Manhattan area has become the area where the mutants attacked the most in the New York Civil War. It is also the area with the most mutants and the most powerful attack force, and it is also the area where the fighting is the most chaotic. area.

Government forces, mutant organizations, gang organizations, and associations of citizens who took up arms for self-defense formed an intricate distribution of forces here, like a canine-toothed pattern. You have me, and I have you.

It is not surprising that the distress signal is sent from here.

Through the car window, Shen Yi saw a building in the distance collapsing in a huge explosion.

The flames shot up into the sky, and smoke and dust were everywhere. Military police came from all directions, but no one could control the spreading chaos.

The residents took up their guns one after another, and they did not have the slightest trust in the government.

It has to be said 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 citizens is the government. Just imagine that whether it is a hurricane disaster, a volcanic disaster, or any other disaster, the government army will be in a state of hostility with its own people in the first place, and you can understand why this country has fallen into such a situation.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the bloody city is secretly fueling the flames.

There are always adventurers who become impatient after seeing themselves on the obliteration list, and finally take risks and come to Manhattan to try their luck, but here is the abyss of the entire New York.

When he came to the fifth avenue and looked around, Shen Yi found that this place was in the midst of a gun battle.

I don't know who is fighting with whom, and there are gunshots everywhere.

Shen Yi turned on the intercom: "Lille, I'm on Fifth Avenue, where are you?"

Lear was the airborne battalion soldier who found the distress signal, and Frost ordered him to stay here and wait for Shen Yi.

"Report sir, I'm watching the battle, it's fighting everywhere, humans, mutants, and gangsters, it's chaos, everyone is crazy, shoot anyone they see! My God, I never Didn't expect New York to be this bad sixty years from now. It's World War III!"

"Where do I go to find the person who sent the distress signal?"

"I saw them go to Central Park, sir."

"Understood." Shen Yi cut off the intercom, turned to the car owner and said, "Go to Central Park!"

The owner of the car was a middle-aged white man, and he yelled at Shen Yi: "Are you crazy? There is already hell, and we are standing on the edge of hell. You still want to drag me and my car to jump in together? No! I won't do it even if you beat me to death!"

Shen Yi casually put the spirit gun against the car owner's head and said, "Then kill you."

The owner screamed in fright.

Shen Yi said coldly: "I'll give you two choices. One: I'll beat you to death. Two: I'll drive. You can get out of the car, or you can follow me to the destination, and then drive away by yourself. Wherever you want to go where."

The owner of the car shivered for a while, and after thinking about it, he gave Shen Yi a surprising answer: "Okay, you drive, I want to stay in the car."

"You are not as timid as you appear." Shen Yi laughed.

"Because this car is all my belongings."

"Hope you had insurance on it."

"Yes, I bought it, but the insurance company is fucking bankrupt, and my company is also finished." The car owner wanted to cry but had no tears.

At this moment, another signal flare rose in the sky.

It is a colored signal flare sent by adventurers, which means that it is urgent.

Shen Yi's complexion quickly sank, he threw the owner of the car into the back row, and he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Central Park.

———————————————

Central Park, once the most beautiful city park in the metropolises of the world, is located on Fifth Avenue and Central Park West. This 340-hectare Central Park was once the most yearned-for place for Chinese artists. Many street artists have made their fortunes here, selling their work and becoming famous.

Zhan Luan also did not let go of this beautiful urban countryside. The Mercedes-Benz roared through the fifth avenue full of guns and bullets. The moment it left the crossing, it rushed into the west side of Central Park from the side and galloped on the light green grass. Go frantically around the scenic man-made lake to find the location of the signal flare.

When he came to the Central Park Zoo, Shen Yi finally found the adventurer.

About a dozen people are confronting each other in the tropical rainforest area.

There are only four people on one side, and seven people on the other side. Ten of the eleven people are adventurers. To Shen Yi's surprise, the four adventurers from the West Region who raced with them on the road yesterday were also there. List. They belong to the group of seven, and the other three are also adventurers. Judging from the appearance, one of them with a big beard is obviously Indian, and two of them also have Asian faces. The one with a short stature may be Vietnamese, the other one looks like a gangster, but he can't tell where he is from.

The West District unexpectedly united with the South District.

And the one who confronted them was the adventurer from the Eastern District who sent out the distress signal, three Chinese adventurers and a bald white young man—that young man was a mutant.

Surprisingly, although the number of adventurers in the East End is relatively small, the side with the most people seems to have nothing to do with the other side.

The three adventurers in the East Zone surrounded the mutant boy in a corner, and one of the female adventurers with an excellent figure was pointing a gun at the mutant boy's head, looking at the others coldly. Behind them is a paddock, some monkeys are jumping up and down in it, and some of them are imitating the humans outside and confronting each other, making squeaking noises from time to time, and making faces at the people outside.

Shen Yi's heart moved slightly.

He didn't drive directly, but turned up the collar of his windbreaker to block his side, pretending to be a passing vehicle, and quickly retreated after encountering a confrontation. After making a circle, he drove into the artificial rainforest next to him and stopped, quietly. observed.

It could be seen that the mutant was the cause of the war.

Shen Yi guessed that it was very likely that adventurers from one side found the mutant, but adventurers from other areas intervened, and a fight broke out between the two sides, which ended up in the hands of people from the east area. The adventurers from the west area and the south area therefore They joined forces to deal with the Eastern District, but the Chinese were known for their cunning and cleverness, so someone immediately used that mutant as a threat. Even though they were on the weak side, the situation was stalemate. However, it is impossible for them to leave, so they can only be forced to send out a distress signal and call for help.

What puzzled Shen Yi was, 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 spiritual exploration surprised him.

"Nedy Neil, a fourth-level mutant, has the ability: Elimination."

"A fourth-level mutant?" Shen Yi couldn't restrain the great surprise in his heart, and exclaimed aloud.
