It's a wide pedestrian street, and it's usually the time when it's busy, but it's empty. The two walked to the easternmost corner of the street, and in the distance, they could see five stone balls lined up side by side and an old black heavy motorcycle parked on the outside of the stone balls.

"Shall it?" Jill tentatively glanced to the side, and immediately understood when she saw the smirk on Caroline's lips. Caroline strolled to the locomotive, completed the side span, start, and 180-degree turn of the car in one go, and then turned her head proudly to signal him to get on.

As soon as he sat down, the locomotive sped out "suddenly".

The cool breeze generated a strong wind, whirring from both sides. Because of some sweat from running before, Jill could feel the coldness on his body growing exponentially, and after 8 minutes, he finally couldn't hold back, hugging his chest and curling up his body, and sighed in his heart: "It's obviously July, but it's like entering late autumn, and the contrast is too stark." ”

As for the cause of this phenomenon, he asked Caroline on the way to pick up the locomotive, and the other party told him that it was caused by quantum fluctuations, which had lasted for half a year, and he had not been able to find a cure yet...... However, he clearly remembered that the problem of quantum fluctuations had been solved five years ago. His thoughts were like a rope that had been beaten to death, making him depressed and irritable. He tilted his head to one side and stared at the streets of New York that had receded from the glamour, feeling that the wind was not so stinging on his face.

"Bear with me, it's not far away." Caroline reminded loudly.

The locomotive was just on the Queenstown Bridge, and the sea breeze howled by, drowning out Caroline's voice. Gil had a look of disbelief, so there were only a few words that came to his ears. Aroused by his curiosity, he began to think that Caroline was reminding him of something. Unconsciously, he straightened his head and sat up straight.

He had to brace himself and know how to be at peace with what happened.

Tonight's crescent moon is exceptionally clear and bright, revealing a faint white light even when it is obscured by thick clouds. The white light meets the neon of the city, reflected by the River East, outlining the cold, metallic silhouette of the Aglia spaceship hovering overhead. It happened to be facing the bridge, and the two eyes the size of a truck flickered and flickered, creating a sense of oppression and extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, two orb robots came out of nowhere, hovering left and right in mid-air in front of the locomotive, turning the crystal ball-sized eyeball between Jill and Caroline.

"What is this?" Jill asked casually. In order for Caroline to hear, he deliberately raised his voice to the maximum.

"A patrol drone sent by Mother Agria." Caroline let go of her hands and placed her left thumb on the metal wristband on her right wrist. The metal wristband was spread out and recombined to form a purple three-foot knife. She held the knife diagonally and slashed at the left side of the drone.

Jill was puzzled and concluded that the two drones would be safe and sound. However, in the next second, he saw the arc of light cut both drones in half with its corners.

The drone landed in response and rolled around the bridge deck a few times before stopping the movement of its eyeballs.

"Sit tight." As soon as the words fell, Caroline had already hooked the gear of the locomotive to "6", and the locomotive sped out like a bullet that had been unloaded. The modified locomotive has the blessing of 6 gears, and the speed reaches 180km/h, which can be comparable to mid-to-high-end sports cars. In an instant, the iron fences, cable-stayed cables, cable towers, and the color of the water of the East River on both sides were all illusory.

In this way, the drone was able to avoid tracking, and Caroline showed Jill the locomotive performance that she was proud of. However, Jill didn't want to appreciate it, and felt that every second was tormenting. He could really feel his face twisted by the strong wind, and every hair was letting go of himself, but thankfully, it only lasted 58 seconds.

The moment the locomotive stopped, Jill finally felt free to breathe. He was surprised when five spiral buildings shaped like giant potato chips skewers emerged. Besides, he knew that there must be many surprises waiting for him.

Caroline told Jill that her room was on the 77th floor of the second building, with a clear view of Roosevelt Island and the River East, where she could enjoy the night view.

However, Jill was not quite sure that he would be in the mood.

"Hahaha, Jill, your hair ......" got out of the car, and Caroline laughed when she turned to see Jill's exploding hair, swaying back and forth with laughter. She secretly rejoiced, because she had found another important piece of evidence that would prove that Jill was the person she was looking for. If it is judged by percentages, the matching index has increased by 20% to 70%.

Jill hurriedly used his ten fingers to straighten his hair, and after quickly geographing it three times, he felt that it was unsatisfactory and pressed it again with his palm.

"As compensation, I'll give you some information about drones." "We have to start with negotiations." On the second day of their arrival on Earth, Agria forced negotiations with the coalition government, but in the first hour of the negotiations, they had quietly invaded the world's population database, and after the negotiations failed, they began to select and kill people with riotous emotions or social disordered personality disorder one by one to create public opinion. Then, they pointed the finger at some people with high social status and influence, especially those who advocated racial segregation, and killed them one by one, so as to further expand social panic and contradictions. Because most of the incidents happened at night, as soon as 19 o'clock, the citizens hid in their homes and locked their doors......"

An elevator descends to the first floor and is slowly opening. There was already a woman standing in the elevator. She has black hair, a pair of clear blue eyes, a beautiful face that is pale but charming, and a slender figure set off by a red one-shoulder slim dress and a pair of black high heels.

The woman looked at the two of them generously, smiled at them, and walked out of the elevator as she walked out.

Jill could clearly smell the fragrance of the woman as she passed him. He rolled his throat involuntarily. When Caroline saw this, she snorted at him and pulled him into the elevator.

Jill stands on the left side of the elevator, and it's up to him to press the floor button. The elevator doors closed slowly. Through the crack in the elevator door, he watched the woman's graceful figure fade away, and wondered: where would she go so late?

He stole a glance at Caroline, who was thinking thoughtfully about something.

In the square space, it is as still as water, and the number of floors with only floor displays is rapidly changing from small to large. "Ding", the 77th floor arrived. When the elevator doors opened and closed again, Caroline couldn't hold back: "Ah, I can finally speak." Really, I would have chosen another elevator if I knew it, and I had already finished talking about drones along the way. Slowly, slowly. ”

She led the way in front of her, opened the door with the code, and gently pushed: "This is my room, it's not bad." ”

Jill can have an unobstructed view of the entire Loft apartment from the entrance, the decoration is simple and prefers warm colors, the furniture is simple but does not lose the sense of elements, and the design of large curved floor-to-ceiling glass windows makes the vision full of shock and enjoyment, as if walking into a pavilion in the sky.

"Sit casually." Caroline said. She walked straight to the pantry, took out a glass bottle of mineral water from the built-in refrigerator, took two large sips and took another bottle from it, walked to Jill and handed it over.

She sat down in a hemispherical chair next to her: "I'll continue." In response to Agria, the coalition government created JA, and while adopting an information blockade, the Blade team encircled and suppressed the shaped beasts, and protected or confined the relevant personnel. However, in the face of our information blockade, Agria used drones to conduct four-dimensional scans on the streets of New York City to target people's behavior. Once locked, they will be able to retrieve the location information and time of the target person at any time within 24 hours. There are backs and forths, and we naturally will not compromise, as long as we wear specific clothes with high thermal insulation bionic fibers can solve this problem. ”

She picked up the water bottle and poured a small sip of water into her mouth, moistening her throat: "There is one thing, I have to say sorry to you, that is, half a year has passed, and we thought you would definitely not be able to come back, so we applied to cancel your name." ”

"In other words, I'm a black guy now." Jill sighed. He wanted to laugh, but suddenly he couldn't.

"However, there are also benefits of black households, for example, at this stage, your name is not in the information of the population database stolen by Agria, in a sense, you are a transparent person, even if you don't wear a protective suit of bionic fibers, drones will not do much to you. On the Queenstown Bridge, I cut down the two drones just in case. Caroline continued. She got up, walked between Jill and the coffee table, and walked to the side of the bed next to the glass window.

There is a 1.7 meter high pull-out wardrobe consisting of a simple double-bar hanger. The number of clothes is not very large, but it is distinct, one row is black and white, with bandeau tops, jackets and short sleeves, and the other row is colorful, with pink, green, silver-gray dresses and skirts.

Caroline picked up an army green jacket with a cat's head on the back from the innermost part of the black and white side, returned to Jill, and handed the jacket along with two $100 sheets: "This jacket is very important to me, you sold it for $200 and gave it back to me." ”

The eyes are facing each other. Caroline greedily rested her gaze on Jill's eyes. After 5 seconds, Jill looked away slightly unnaturally, and she realized that she had lost some "shape". She turned to leave, when she suddenly thought of something, turned to Jill and said, "There are cereal and canned fruit in the fridge, if you are hungry, you can eat a little." It's best not to go out at night. Also, I'll come over to you tomorrow at 12 noon to have dinner with you. ”

The moment the door closed completely, Jill let out a long breath. He slammed to his feet, approached the refrigerator, opened the door, and saw a large bag of fruit cereal and two cans of yellow peaches next to each other in the middle of the refrigerated area. However, he is allergic to yellow peaches. He picked up the bag of fruit cereal and checked it and found that there were no yellow peaches in it, so he was relieved to eat it.

"Bah, Bah", he said as he munched on his cereal as he walked to the window. Somehow, he suddenly wanted to see the night scene outside.

New York has faded away from the décor of bean lights and waterwheels, and has become arrogant and cold. Jill never imagined that New York would become so quiet. He looked over the River East, where he could only see the tail of the ship, where a huge bird stood in the shadow. He thought he was dazzled, and when he blinked and looked again, the bird flapped its wings coldly and flew in the direction of Manhattan.

"It's a mess. Slept, slept. In order to feel full, he chewed cereal until his cheeks were a little sore.

Just after 5 a.m., Jill got up.

He decided to make a trip to Sturett Abbey, located in northwestern Brooklyn. From here, he needs to take the subway for 30 minutes. At this time, the sky outside the window was still gloomy, and it was so depressing that people couldn't breathe. He shook his head vigorously to sober himself up, and then went out.

The elevator's mirrored display broadcast events in New York in real time, including a large explosion at 2:30 a.m. at the Old Broadway intersection, causing the subway station to collapse and the building to collapse, causing widespread casualties. Shocked, he realized that it was the only way to go through the subway, which meant that he had to get off the train one stop earlier to change to fly.

There were already a lot of people on the streets, and the shops on both sides were also open. He found a breakfast shop, where the line was already in line, and he gave up after estimating that it would be at least half an hour before his turn. When he entered the subway station, he saw a sea of people, but it was still orderly. It took him 5 minutes to get on the subway.

When I arrived at my destination, it was already a quarter past 6 in the morning.

It is a monastery in the unconventional sense of the word. It is built along the slope, integrating the ground floor overhead, free plane, horizontal long windows and free façade, the whole is boxy, and belongs to the modernist architectural style. The color is a single white, unpretentious and neat atmosphere. Behind it is a small semi-enclosed oak forest, lush and green, and beyond are the tall buildings, which are scattered together.

A pitch-black asphalt road winds its way to the monastery and appears to be long, long.

"It hasn't changed at all." Jill said secretly.

When he got out of the car, he was just about to close the passenger door, but he heard the sound of a motor coming from the monastery, so he got into the car again and said to the driver, "Master, go back first, wait for the locomotive to come out, and then follow her." ”

"Gotta add $5." The driver's master opened his left hand to Jill and said with five hands.

Jill nodded in agreement without hesitation.
