Chapter 612: The End of the World (Part I)
Bang!
The last moment, the picture in front of Chen Xiaolian's eyes was still Luo Di's distorted and tangled face, and the next moment, without the slightest stagnation, as if seamlessly switching, another picture appeared in front of him.
A half-shattered, crumbling ceiling.
Chen Xiaolian's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly turned over and got up, looking around.
It's a standard room in a hotel, but it looks devastated. One of the two beds had shattered to the ground, and the mattress had been overturned on one side. On the other hand, Chen Xiaolian was lying, with a huge claw mark running from the mattress to the back of the bed, and even the wall against which the head of the bed was leaning.
The chandelier overhead and the TV in front of him were all smashed and scattered on the ground. In the window on the side, only one of the four panes of glass remained, and there was a pool of blood on the ground.
Chen Xiaolian walked to the window and squatted down to take a look. The blood had dried up completely, turning black and purple, and it looked like it had been at least three days old.
Chen Xiaolian stood up and looked out the window.
Outside, there is an endless, dense complex of buildings, almost all of which are towering skyscrapers. Some have collapsed, some are still standing, but they are also scarred.
And two of them are exactly the same, standing side by side skyscrapers, which made Chen Xiaolian stunned.
The Twin Towers of the World Trade Towers!
The World Trade Center was hit by a plane in 2001!
Other words......
This is Manhattan, New York before 2001!
What the hell is this!!
Chen Xiaolian was completely stunned.
Before entering the recycle bin, Chen Xiaolian had made countless assumptions about what kind of place this should be.
It may be like the Spirit Time House in Dragon Ball, with an endless horizon and no changes in the terrain.
It may also be a chaotic place, with no distinction between south, east, west, and north, like the universe.
But he never imagined that he would be here, seeing the scene of Manhattan Island in New York!
Moreover, before 2001, the twin towers of the World Trade Center had not collapsed in Manhattan, New York!
And...... What about the traces of destruction and blood in the room?
With a confusion in his heart, Chen Xiaolian stuck his head out of the broken floor-to-ceiling window and looked down.
The room he was in now was at least forty floors above the ground and was more than a hundred meters above the ground.
Let's leave!
Although in his consciousness, he immediately switched to Manhattan where he is now after Roddy fired, according to the description of the item function of the hymn to life, Chen Xiaolian knew that a hundred hours had passed since he "died".
There are still one hundred and forty hours left.
Not a single minute or second of these 140 hours can be wasted!
Chen Xiaolian immediately turned around, unscrewed the door, and rushed towards the door.
There was no power supply in the whole building, and there was still light from the window in the room, but once in the hallway, the environment immediately became dark.
Chen Xiaolian hurriedly tried to take out the lighting equipment from his storage space, but found that no matter how he called it, he couldn't open his storage space.
Damn it!
After trying several times, Chen Xiaolian still couldn't open the storage space, and even the interface of his personal system couldn't be opened.
In other words, his entire personal system, is here ...... Invalid!
Chen Xiaolian secretly scolded his mother.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaolian confirmed that the strengthening of personal physical fitness is still there. Even in the dark, it's not like you're completely invisible. Chen Xiaolian's eyes widened, and he cautiously groped his way through the corridor.
While watching the road under his feet and moving cautiously, Chen Xiaolian also kept an eye on his surroundings at all times.
Not only in that room, but also in the corridors of this hotel, there are traces of all kinds of fierce battles.
In addition to the scratches caused by the sharp claws and teeth, Chen Xiaolian also saw more bullet marks. There was even a door, the whole of which was melted into a puddle of metal, flowing on the ground, and then cooling and condensing again, apparently burned by the energy weapon.
Although these traces of battle seem to have taken some time, Chen Xiaolian does not dare to take it lightly. God knows when an assailant will pop up here.
Naturally, the building's elevators have long since ceased to function. Chen Xiaolian found the stairwell and walked down the stairs.
The stairwell was also full of traces of the battle, but all the way until he reached the first floor, Chen Xiaolian did not see any moving objects.
Pushing open the door of the stairwell and passing through the passage, Chen Xiaolian walked into the lobby. The lobby was the same as the previous rooms and hallways, the walls were mottled with scars, and various counter sofas were smashed and scattered to the floor.
The battles that had taken place here were noticeably fiercer than those seen along the way.
But it's still the same as before, and you can't see half a figure!
Chen Xiaolian thought for a moment, walked out of the broken revolving door, and stood on the street.
Dozens of cars were parked in the streets, some still intact, but others were clearly affected by the battle, or half of the body was mutilated, or overturned to the ground, and there was even a red sports car, half of which was still half of the body embedded in the wall.
Chen Xiaolian turned his head and looked around, and the position he was in now should be exactly in the center of the entire Manhattan Island.
Now that we don't have any goals, we ...... Let's just hang around!
Chen Xiaolian chose a sports car at random, smashed the window and sat on it. The car key is inserted into the car, eliminating the need to twist the wires.
After starting the car, Chen Xiaolian drove aimlessly on the street.
All you see along the way are full of devastation, but you can't see half of the living people.
The doubts in Chen Xiaolian's heart became stronger and stronger.
It looks ...... It's not at all like the "recycle bin" he imagined, but more like a copy!
He also went through the Tokyo copy. The scene of Manhattan in front of me is almost exactly the same as what I saw in the Tokyo dungeon.
Chen Xiaolian could even imagine that this was a huge dungeon, with at least hundreds of players and awakened people involved, plus the monsters spawned in the dungeon, it was necessary to destroy a huge Manhattan Island into what it is today.
But the question is......
Where did they go?!
Even if you don't talk about the Awakened, you don't talk about the monsters that appear in the dungeon.
But—this is Manhattan!!
There is no second place in New York City, or even in the United States, that is as bustling and densely populated as this tiny island!
Those ordinary people, it is impossible to kill them all!
Or take another 10,000 steps back and say, even if they are really killed, at least the corpse should be left!
Chen Xiaolian drove around for more than ten minutes, but all he saw along the way were bloodstains, broken cars, and collapsed high-rise buildings, but there was no half a figure!
Here, it's so weird!
was wondering, but Chen Xiaolian suddenly heard the roar of an engine from a distance in front of him.
Someone!
This was the first thought that popped into Chen Xiaolian's mind.
Then, an off-road vehicle crossed the street in front of it and flashed in front of it.
This is the first moving object Chen Xiaolian has seen since he arrived here!
He hurriedly slammed the accelerator and drove in the direction of the engine sound!
As soon as the car started, Chen Xiaolian suddenly saw a black shadow in the air in front of him, and flew after the off-road vehicle.
On the narrow street corner, the figure flashed by, and Chen Xiaolian only had time to see that it was a thin man with a jetpack on his back.
He didn't fly very high, less than a hundred meters, but he was much faster than the buggy.
The Ferrari California under Chen Xiaolian only took 3.6 seconds to accelerate to 100 kilometers, and it had already increased to top speed in an instant, turning the corner.
Ahead, the off-road vehicle was driving wildly, swaying from side to side. And the thin man chasing after him, with a huge cannon barrel on his right arm, was aiming at the off-road vehicle and pouring fire wildly.
With each flicker of the muzzle, a beam of energy shot out and blasted towards the off-road vehicle. The driver of the car seemed to be quite skilled, and he calculated the amount of advance every time, and dodged the bombardment of the energy cannon at the last moment. There were already more than a dozen deep pits on the ground, but not a single shot hit the off-road vehicle.
And at this moment, the man who was chasing behind had already noticed Chen Xiaolian behind him. The roar of California's engines is so high-pitched that it's impossible to ignore it.
The man glanced back at Chen Xiaolian, and the momentum of the forward pursuit remained unchanged, but his right arm suddenly twisted back, aiming at Chen Xiaolian's sports car!
Chen Xiaolian's heart froze, and he saw that the energy cannon on the man's right arm had lit up with a red light, and he braked suddenly, killing the steering wheel to the left, and the tires made a harsh grinding sound, dragging four deep black marks on the ground.
At the same time as Chen Xiaolian braked, the man's energy cannon also fired!
