Chapter 157: The Lost City (Part II)
When it was dark, Zhang Xiaogang proposed to go back for dinner. The other three also knew that the dinner in the bar must have been very bad, so naturally they did not object.
Walking out of the bar, the four of them found that the street was bustling.
Under the organization of the U.S. military, the residents of Manhattan are returning one after another. As night falls, street lights come on, indicating that the power system has been partially restored and is beginning to supply power to the infrastructure. To the surprise of the four, some of the entertainment venues were already open, and the foyer was brightly lit. The sound of motors can be heard all over the streets, indicating that these entertainment venues generate their own electricity and have a lot of fuel in stock.
"I have to admit that the vitality of the United States is very strong." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "In addition, Americans do know how to enjoy life. ”
"Let's go back." Luo Jinyong doesn't seem to be used to it.
"Okay, go back to eating and sleeping." Zhang Xiaogang knew that it was not good to provoke right and wrong now. Although there were armies to maintain order, they were very limited in number. The police who returned to the city were busy relocating residents, and they simply did not have the spare energy to maintain social order. The original social order is gone, and the United States is a country where all people have guns. Until the situation stabilizes, violent crime will certainly be commonplace.
During the day, Zhang Xiaogang found that many shops had been ransacked.
The turmoil will continue for some time, and until law enforcement agencies such as the police return to normal, Manhattan will be a forest of steel where the jungle eats the jungle.
Among other things, there were several doormen with automatic weapons standing at the entrance of the nightclub across the street.
"That's the Mermaid nightclub?"
Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said in a low voice: "Don't star, you're not afraid of eating guns, we're different." Also, you have to learn English, especially speaking. ”
"There's got to be time, right?"
"Let's go, this is a place of right and wrong, and it's not good to stay for long."
Chu Tianjiang retracted his gaze and followed Zhang Xiaogang towards the branch road where he parked.
As soon as the four of them reached the intersection, three motorcycles rushed out of the side road with a roar. Chu Tianjiang reacted extremely quickly, and immediately saw that there were two riders wearing helmets and black leather jackets on each motorcycle, and the three people sitting in the back were holding submachine guns. Chu Tianjiang took an arrow step and blocked in front of Luo Jinyong. Zhang Xiaogang and Fang Yuanyuan's reaction was also very fast, protecting Luo Jinyong from both sides.
It's just that the three motorcycles didn't come at them.
Whizzing onto Seventh Street, three motorcycles slid sideways and stopped in front of the Mermaid Nightclub, where three gunmen opened fire at the same time.
Gunshots rang out, and pedestrians on the street were suddenly in chaos.
The nightclub's doormen were clearly not easy to do, and they were on guard when the motorcycles appeared, and by the time the gunmen fired with their submachine guns, they were already hiding on the spot.
Immediately afterward, the doorman began to return fire with a carbine.
In an instant, Times Square turned into a bloody battleground.
They are all military men!? Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times. Zhang Xiaogang and Fang Yuanyuan also saw that both sides of the war had received strict tactical training.
After a short time, several riders were shot one after another, but they were not killed.
Obviously, he wore body armor, and it was a military body armor that could resist small-caliber rifle bullets, and maybe it was a high-grade body armor with a ceramic protective layer.
The body armor that can be bought by the people can only block the bullets of pistols and submachine guns.
The battle lasted less than a minute, and the whistling of military vehicles could be heard from the south, and it must have been the army in charge of security patrols who had heard the gunshots.
The three riders on the motorbike immediately increased the throttle and prepared to flee.
"Bang-bang-bang-" The gunfire was muffled, as if a muffler had been installed.
Before the three motorcycles could run, the three drivers were shot in the head and killed instantly. They wore bulletproof helmets, and after installing a muffler, the bulletproof helmet that could still be pierced was definitely a large-caliber sniper rifle, and possibly even an anti-materiel rifle with a caliber of 0.5 inches.
Sniper!? Chu Tianjiang was shocked again. A small nightclub has snipers as guards, and they use large-caliber sniper rifles.
"Bang-bang-bang-"
Three more shots, and two gunmen were killed, but one of the gunmen was already lying on his side, dodging the deadly bullets, and then rushed across the street to a restaurant.
As the snatchers entered the restaurant, the three snipers opened fire again.
"He's injured, on the right shoulder."
Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Interesting, this nightclub can afford to hire special forces, and those gunmen are not ordinary people." ”
"Do you want me to find the gunman?"
"Be careful not to reveal your identity. Go straight back when you're done. We'll stay and see how the Yankees end, and we'll go back later if there's nothing to do. ”
Chu Tianjiang didn't dwell too much, and after entering the branch road, he went around to the back door of the restaurant.
There was no blood on the floor, and it was clear that the gunman had stopped the bleeding from the wound in the cafeteria. After adjusting to the ultraviolet mode, Chu Tianjiang saw a series of footprints on the ground.
Following the footprints, Chu Tianjiang came to American Avenue, then turned south and entered East 42nd Street.
New York Public Library?
Chu Tianjiang followed the footprints into the library, and at the social science book lending office, the footprints disappeared.
Because the library has long been closed, no one will be interested in books in times of disaster, so the library is unguarded and there are no lights.
Hearing a slight noise coming from behind him, Chu Tianjiang smiled and pretended not to be aware.
Although the footprints are gone, there is a string of handprints on the table at the borrowing desk. Chu Tianjiang had long thought that the gunman had already discovered him and hid it. It was not difficult to find the gunman along the handprint, but Chu Tianjiang decided to wait for the rabbit, because the person who was wounded by the gunshot would not be able to run far.
"Who are you, and why are you stalking me?"
The muzzle of the gun was pressed against the back of Chu Tianjiang's head, and Chu Tianjiang also stopped at the sound of metal striking when he opened the safe.
"I'm not your enemy, and that gun in your hand is of no use to me."
"Really?"
Chu Tianjiang heard the sound of the ram being pressed down, indicating that it was a pistol, and it was most likely a pistol with a muffler installed.
The gunman wanted to flee for his life and certainly didn't want anyone else to hear the gunshots.
It's just that the gunman will definitely not show mercy.
In the flash of lightning, Chu Tianjiang had already turned around and grabbed the pistol. Before the gunner could pull the trigger, the pistol sleeve was removed.
The gunman was shocked, and Chu Tianjiang was also shocked, because the gunman was a woman!
"You ......" In the blink of an eye, the pistol was dismantled, and the gunshot wound on the shoulder was not carefully treated, and the gunman fainted in shock.
Damn, how is it a woman? Chu Tianjiang grabbed the gunman's arm and helped her to lie on the ground.
A thick cotton cloth was attached to the right shoulder of the gun, which appeared to have been treated only briefly, and the gunman's pale face indicated that he had lost a lot of blood.
Chu Tianjiang didn't think much about it, and immediately tore open the gunman's tight leather coat.
The cotton cloth had been soaked with blood, and the wound was still bleeding. It is a typical penetrating wound, and judging by the shape of the wound, the warhead has been shattered, and shrapnel must have been left in the body.
What to do? Save her, or leave her to fend for herself here?
If she is left to fend for herself, there is no need to stalk her.
Chu Tianjiang pulled out the multi-functional dagger on the gunner's left arm and activated the heating function of the Doomsday Warrior system. After heating to a thousand degrees Celsius, Chu Tianjiang pressed the dagger against the wound.
"Ahh
The gunshot screamed with one hand, and Chu Tianjiang hurriedly stuffed a thick book into her mouth.
By the time Chu Tianjiang stopped the bleeding from the wound, the gunman had already fallen unconscious again. Her blood pressure was less than sixty, her pulse was very weak, and she had lost a lot of blood and her life was hanging by a thread.
Damn it! Chu Tianjiang cursed.
Obviously, it was impossible to take her to the manor, otherwise Chu Tianjiang's identity would be exposed. But if she doesn't have a blood transfusion immediately, she will definitely die. In addition, shrapnel is removed from the body, antibiotics are needed to prevent infection, and tools to suture the wound.
If you have already saved, then save it to the end.
Chu Tianjiang picked up the gunman and put her on the floor behind the counter at the borrowing counter before leaving the library to look for plasma and first-aid medicine.
Medicines are easy to say, but plasma is tricky.
At the time of the evacuation, all pharmacies were closed. Although many pharmacies were looted, it was impossible for the robbers to take all the medicines.
I searched for several pharmacies, but Chu Tianjiang didn't find any plasma. Only the blood banks of the hospitals have plasma, and all hospitals are controlled by the army.
What to do?
Looking at her skills, that girl is either an agent or a soldier, and her physical fitness will not be too bad, even if she loses blood seriously, she should not be able to die.
The gunman was still unconscious, but his breathing was much smoother.
Chu Tianjiang was not wordy, nor did he act recklessly.
Removing shrapnel, which requires reopening the wound, will again lead to blood loss. The gunman had already suffered heavy blood loss and was therefore at risk of dying when the shrapnel was removed.
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Tianjiang knew what to do.
After injecting a sedative into the gunman to ensure that the gunman would not wake up during the operation, Chu Tianjiang first took off the gunman's clothes, and then unfolded the Doomsday Warrior system, wrapping the gunman's whole body up and down, exposing only the head and wound parts, and then applying pressure on the gunman's limbs to press the blood in the limbs back into the body, and by applying pressure to the arteries, the blood flow to the wound was stopped. After the last, Chu Tianjiang tightened the part of the gunman's heart, measured the heart rate in real time, and performed a heart attack when he was pressing.
Thinking about saving people, Chu Tianjiang didn't notice the proud figure of the gunman.
Chu Tianjiang is bold by nature, and he can't be ruthless to women, even if he notices it, he won't think about it, let alone take advantage of others.
Ready, Chu Tianjiang picked up the dagger and reopened the wound.
No blood came out, indicating that the method Chu Tianjiang thought of did work. Not long after, Chu Tianjiang took out three pieces of shrapnel and several broken bones from the wound, and also removed the necrotic muscle tissue. There are no large blood vessels near the wound and no major nerves.
What is it? When stitching up the wound at the shoulder blade, Chu Tianjiang found a colorful butterfly on the gunman's shoulder.
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Tianjiang suddenly thought that he had seen this kind of tattoo in Yan Wenbin's file. People with such tattoos are all part of a secret army known as the "Flower Butterfly".
She's an agent of the US intelligence agencies!?
Chu Tianjiang suddenly felt his head big. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore. After I went back, I told Zhang Xiaogang, wouldn't everything be clear?
After confirming that the gunman was still alive, Chu Tianjiang dressed her and fed her some milk.
In Manhattan, food is more valuable than medicine. This generation of milk was found under the refrigerator of a ransacked food store, and it is unknown if it has expired.
Subsequently, Chu Tianjiang injected the gunman with another antibiotic.
Chu Tianjiang had already done everything he could, and he wasn't sure if the gunman would survive. Just thinking that this girl turned out to be an agent of the US intelligence agency, and she must have provided it very powerfully, Chu Tianjiang felt that even if she died, it was not worth regretting.
If she really survived, she might not be grateful to Chu Tianjiang for saving her life, but she might become a mortal enemy.
It's just that Chu Tianjiang didn't leave in a hurry.
He had to find out who the gunman was, and why he attacked the Mermaid Nightclub, otherwise he wouldn't have to follow her and bother trying to save her.
