Chapter 45 Ghost

59th hour.

Land Rover continues to drive on New York roads after one fill-up

Aimlessly.

Gentle was watching the data changes on the leaderboard in the car: "The hunting speed of everyone is accelerating, some people have experienced explosive growth, and more and more people are finding mutant settlements. Ranking changes It’s like the monthly ticket list at the starting point. The competition is frighteningly fierce. There are two people who have surpassed me, Hong Lang and King Kong, but you are still a long way from Shen Yi. Theoretically speaking, the most we can lose is only the top four on the list. It is impossible to enter the obliteration list because of the qualifications of the name."

"That's because we've entered Magneto's kill list." Hong Lang laughed. He was wrapping his gun thickly with some found cotton strips. He hoped that this would isolate Magneto from his magnetic ability to affect metal, although he knew that was highly unlikely.

"If you're worried about this, I think Professor X should be added. I'm sure Storm and the others will not let it go." King Kong added. He was joking with everyone while driving.

"Then why not add the human government army, we seem to have become the most wanted criminals just like the mutants." Shen Yi also laughed.

He was chatting with Jerry, mainly wanting to know something about Magneto's subordinates.

If nothing else, the second wave of pursuit will still be dominated by Magneto's men.

"It's strange, are we here to perform the hunting mission or to be hunted?" King Kong called.

"There is no eternal hunter in the world. It's not unusual for prey and hunter to switch frequently. What's strange is that some of us still pay attention to the leaderboard." Shen Yi said with a smile.

Gentle and sullen gave him a supercilious look.

After occupying the top spot, Shen Yi's team focused more on Magneto, rather than the leaderboard itself.

This is the way things are in the world. The beneficiaries of the rules will always focus on the interests outside the rules, and the rule-bound people will focus on the interests inside the rules.

At this moment, King Kong who was driving suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the car came to a sudden stop amidst an unpleasant sound of tires rubbing against the ground.

Then there was a bang.

The Ferrari driven by Wei Na slammed into it head-on, hitting the rear of the Land Rover. Wei Na screamed loudly: "What the hell are you doing?"

King Kong ignored her, jumped out of the car and rushed to the front to have a look.

"What happened?" Hong Langrou also jumped down.

When I got to the car, I didn't see anything.

King Kong rubbed his head: "Strange, I seemed to see a little girl suddenly appearing in front of my car just now, so I braked quickly. Why is there nothing here?"

"What kind of little girl?" Gentle asked.

"Wearing white clothes, long hair... She suddenly appeared on the road, and then looked back..."

"There's nothing here." Gentle shook her head helplessly: "Maybe your eyes are dazzled, it's already dark now."

"Really? Maybe..." King Kong was a little confused.

Since everyone had their own concerns just now, including Shen Yi, he didn't see the girl in white that King Kong said.

There is no one or anything in front of the car, and everyone can only think it is a diamond eye.

Hong Lang laughed strangely: "This is the world of the X-Men, not the world of the midnight bell! What little girl in white clothes, do you think you bumped into a ghost?"

"Maybe it's a hallucination? Could it be that some mutant who is good at making illusions is secretly playing tricks? For example, the son of General Stryker in the second part?" Or gentleness rescued King Kong.

"It's possible." Shen Yi nodded.

He turned back to the car and shouted: "Luo Hao, how do you feel?"

"There is no danger approaching us now!" The fat man replied loudly.

With Fatty's response, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forget it, this is a bizarre world to begin with, and it's no big deal if some bizarre things happen, let's stop wasting time here.

"King Kong spread his hands and said.

Everyone nodded and returned to the car, only Shen Yi was still standing there.

He understands King Kong.

He knew that King Kong was not someone who could dazzle at will or be able to fall into hallucinations. If Hong Lang or Fatty fell into hallucinations or was dazzled for a while, he would still believe it, but King Kong...

After thinking about it, he slowly closed his eyes and activated the three-dimensional image memory.

The next moment he seemed to travel through time and space, the entire time and space was instantly distorted, and everything was rapidly rewinding, just like the rewinding screen on a video tape skipping quickly.

He saw the oncoming Land Rover driving backwards into the distance, from braking to accelerating...

And he himself was standing in this countercurrent of time, with countless strange lights flashing in front of his eyes, adding a mysterious color to this image.

Then time travel stops and normal progress resumes.

He stood in the middle of the road and saw one car after another passing through his body.

He can see all the movement of objects around him.

In the distance, the Land Rover drove over again. He could hear everyone talking. I was in the car and said loudly: "There is no eternal hunter in the world..."

Looking back suddenly, a white figure suddenly appeared beside him.

It was a little girl in a snow-white robe.

Just as King Kong said, she really exists!

Her hair is very long, covering half of her face, so she can't see her face clearly, only her big bright eyes can be seen.

However, for some reason, Shen Yi felt a trace of melancholy, loneliness and helplessness in those eyes.

She walked by Shen Yi's side, her feet were bare, and she stepped on the ground without a trace of stain.

She was walking on the highway in a daze like that.

The Land Rover roared over.

Shen Yi finally couldn't help shouting: "Be careful!"

At that moment, he forgot that he was in a three-dimensional image memory, and all he saw were illusions.

However, at that moment, a scene that shocked him happened.

He saw the little girl in white suddenly turned her head and glanced at where he was.

It was exactly what King Kong saw.

This glance made Shen Yi's hair stand on end.

At the same time, King Kong drove the Land Rover into the little girl...

The image is broken!

The time curve emitted a strong light, and the entire space became distorted.

The next moment Shen Yi found himself standing in front of the car again, and King Kong and the others were honking their horns in the car.

"Shen Yi, why are you so dazed? Get in the car!"

Looking at the empty ground, Shen Yi muttered to himself: "This is not an illusion."

————————————————————————

60th hour.

seven o'clock in the evening.

The night view of New York is actually very beautiful.

Even in the chaotic years of the Great Depression.

During the day, the city is full of skyscrapers, and the streets are like canyons. There is no sunlight all day long, and you can only see a line of sky when you look up.

At night, there are colorful neon lights, exquisite posters and sexy swimsuit girls on big screens everywhere.

The civil strife made the U.S. economy depressed, but some special regions were not affected at all, and instead became more prosperous.

Forty-second Street is the most famous red light district in New York.

Every night, bloody red lights illuminate the sky, and even the taxis there are painted with silhouettes of naked women. Tourists from all over the world come and go, coming in and out of that door, to watch the sexual performances on the sex dance floor with all kinds of tricks. As a scene of New York, it is mixed with the God of Liberty, which symbolizes the lofty pursuit of human beings, the picturesque Central Park, the skyscrapers showing the great creativity of Americans and the Museum of Modern Art. Whole body.

It was one of the few areas left unaffected by the war between humans and mutants.

Its business is still booming - whether human or mutant, there is a need to vent/desire.

The Land Rover stopped at the corner of Forty-second Street.

Shen Yi and others got out of the car, Wei Na and the others also came to join Shen Yi.

"What do we do now?" Vena asked.

"Have dinner first, I'm hungry." Shen Yi replied, walking towards a nearby restaurant.

"Is he still in the mood to eat?" Lake pointed to Shen Yi's back and said to Wei Na.

"Why don't you eat? Even if you die, you have to be a full ghost." Wei Na said angrily as she followed in.

Fei Le immediately asked: "Then why did you come to Huajie to eat?"

Lake replied, "Maybe he still wants to be a flirt."

King Kong shook his head again and again when he heard it from behind, and smiled at Rou Rou: "These foreigners..."

Feller's ear tipped, and when he heard King Kong's words, he immediately turned his head: "Hey, I said gorilla, this is the United States. Here, you are the foreigners! Do you understand?"

King Kong curled his lips: "You'd better take care of your nose, idiot."

Wen Rou and Hong Lang laughed at the same time. Although King Kong looks like an orangutan, he is not stupid. If his limbs are strong and his mind is simple, it will not apply to him. When Shen Yi was not around, King Kong was the leader of the team, so Fei Le could only stare fiercely at King Kong's lesson.

At this time, everyone has entered the restaurant and found a seat to sit down.

Shen Yi went to order food and came back, sat next to Wen Rou, and asked with a smile: "I seem to have heard someone say something behind my back just now?"

Wen Rou was about to speak, but Wei Na interrupted: "We're just wondering why you came here to eat, maybe you have something else on your mind."

"Idea?" Shen Yi laughed: "Why do you have to have an idea? We happened to come here, and then I saw a large group of beautiful girls, and I thought it was good. It happened that I was hungry again, so I decided to stay here Eat something, and take a look at the beautiful scenery here and the girls standing on the street, isn’t that okay? Doesn’t everything have a purpose and meaning.”

"Girl? You mean those whores in heavy clothes outside?" Wei Na said in a disdainful tone.

King Kong said very seriously: "Don't look down on whores, they are human beings, and selling their bodies is much better than getting something for nothing."

What was startling was Vina's response: "I didn't mean that."

"What?" King Kong asked strangely.

Gentle chuckled: "She meant that she looked down on the makeup of the girls outside. She was referring to the part of heavy makeup, not the part of whores."

Wei Na nodded repeatedly.

All the men rolled their eyes together.

Sure enough, only women understand women.

"Their makeup is terrible." Wei Na said very dissatisfied. At the same time, she took the food brought by the waiter, and while picking up a vegetable salad beside her, she said loudly: "The eye shadow is too thick, the powder is too thick, Worst of all is their eyelashes, it's just terrible. They don't know what makeup is..."

Wei Na continued to make loud and dissatisfied comments: "They should learn how to dress themselves well. Like them, it will only hurt their skin, coupled with irregular life, it will make them age quickly! For women Say it's a terrible thing!"

"You used to be a makeup artist?" Shen Yi asked.

Wei Na shook her head: "No, I am the new product researcher of Dell Cosmetics Company. I am responsible for the design and development of twelve new products, nine of which have good anti-aging effects. When I carry out the research and development of the thirteenth product During research and development, I was brought here...Thirteen is really an unlucky number. Miss Gentle, if you are interested, I can tell you which cosmetics are more useful in the bloody city, they are not very expensive, you just need You can buy the best and cheapest products with a few blood points. I guarantee that it can delay your beauty and youth for at least twenty years..."

"Really?" Gentle eyes lit up.

The two women suddenly found a common topic and started talking endlessly.

King Kong looked at Shen Yi with some confusion: "Aren't we going to discuss how to deal with the next crisis?"

Hong Lang said meaningfully: "The building is crooked."

Shen Yi is very serious: "You really have been in the forum for a long time."

Perhaps sensing that their current topic was not serious, she gently coughed: "Oh, I think we should stop discussing makeup."

"Why?" Wei Na was very disapproving: "Men still think of looking at beautiful women when they are fighting, why can't we make ourselves more beautiful?"

Gentle: "I mean, I don't have to mind too much what kind of cosmetics I use to make my skin better and keep my youth. Because in the bloody city, being able to age is a kind of happiness."

Wei Na was stunned by it.

She was a little uninterested, and feebly picked up the steak and salad in front of her: "You're right, I just haven't...haven't relaxed for a long time. Facing life and death every day, either killing or being killed, this really makes me tired. I really want to go back to my office and continue the experiment that gave me a headache."

She held her face and wept softly.

Behind all the strength, there is their own pain and helplessness.

Gentle sighed, patted Wei Na's back, and whispered something in her ear.

Wei Na listened very carefully, a smile appeared on her lonely face.

What they said, no one knows.

Because that's a secret between women.

But at that moment, Shen Yi suddenly felt a little lucky.

Because he saw that at this moment, the estrangement caused by Wei Na and the others' insistence on leaving was stitched together again at this moment.

At this moment, Shen Yi's communicator suddenly rang.

It's Frost.

Shen Yi connected: "What's the matter, Frost?"

"I have something important to report to you, sir."

"Say it."

"According to your instructions, we are scattered in various areas of New York to closely observe the information of mutants and adventurers. Just now, a young man of ours found two seriously injured adventurers, one of whom is the woman who was with you .”

An Wen?

Everyone jumped up.

Hong Lang yelled into the walkie-talkie: "You said An Wen is dead?"

"No, sir." Frost's voice on the intercom was still calm and composed. For him, only Shen Yi is the officer who can order him, and the others are just friends and partners. The feelings and memories of the world of World War II are still there, but they are like a distant memory, and they have no effect: "She is not dead, but obviously she is going to die. She was seriously injured, and her There is also a wounded person with you, it seems that you are also injured, but not too bad. We found some mutant corpses beside them. The bad thing is that we can't heal the wounded people. I'm afraid it's just you We can save them, sir."

"Where are you now?" Shen Yi said in a deep voice.

"Thirty-sixth Street."

"It's not far from here." Rourou yelled.

"Go and save people immediately!" Shen Yi shouted and rushed out of the restaurant.

Lake complained dissatisfied: "Damn it, we are still being wanted, but now we have to run to save people. God knows how busy we will be. It's been 60 hours, and I only slept for four hours!"

Complaints come back, and no one dares to stop.

The adventurers rushed out of the restaurant, started their cars and left.

The owner of the restaurant rushed out with a shotgun in his hand, fired several shots at the rear of the car, and yelled, "Asshole! You didn't pay!"
