21. The final blockade

When the first rays of the morning sun hit the ground, the whole of New York awoke from its slumber, the city of 3,000 people was like an awakened beast, the endless stream of vehicles seemed to roar to the sky, the bad air was seen as a symbol of civilization, and we all know that another sign of civilization is to show its existence to the world.

In the past thousands of years, human civilization has never stood on the stage so confidently and scolded Fang Xuan as it is now, nor has it been as cruel as this era, perhaps just pulling the trigger can take away many lives.

Take away those things that are most precious to everyone.

Matt Murdoch, dressed in dark red leather armor, stood up from the basement beneath the ruins of Hell's Kitchen, his completely opaque black visor was already full of cracks, and the very delicate battle stick in his hand had been broken in three to resist the falling stones at the first wave of bombs, and at his feet was a mass of scrap metal distorted by flames and explosions, as if it had been burned by flames, and it was pitch black.

He looked up, and the staircase leading to the ground in front of him, the solid mix of concrete and steel, had completely collapsed.

The basement floor was covered with cold ashes, and Matt staggered over them, trying his best not to think about the origin of the ashes, but the black ashes left his crooked footprints, as if to declare that no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the memories that followed.

Matt Murdoch was breathing hard, like a dying beast, and he squeezed his painful forehead fiercely, as if trying to squeeze the pain out of his brain in this way, but the smoke of last night was still surging in his brain, the sound of the explosion was still echoing in his ears, and the heavy smell of blood seemed to remain in his nostrils.

He stretched out his hands, smacked his head twice, and gritted his teeth to hit the broken basement entrance above his head, the echo was low, the door could not be pushed open at all, and the dust that fell from the cracks, all of which showed the fact that it was:

The passage above him had been crushed by the collapsed ruins. He's trapped... Like a beast trapped in a cold cage, he clenched his fists and slammed two punches into the pile above, but he didn't get anything but pain.

"Ahh

Matt shook his fist in disgrace, his body was covered in bruised blood, as a bystander, he had experienced the war last night in its entirety, the basement where he was hiding was attacked by 3 bombs, the Hand Ninja and the members of the Devil Gang fought to the death above him, bullets flew out of the chamber, sharp blades came out of the sheath, and the sound of blood slashing into the flesh burst out, those low breaths that represented death and blood, he heard them all.

Like a nightmare imprinted in his heart, a nightmare of destruction in Hell's Kitchen, he is most likely the only living witness.

"Ruined... It's all ruined. ”

He leaned against the corner of the wall tiredly, like a helpless child, clutching his hair with both hands, muttering to himself, at this moment, Hell's Kitchen was rampant, and the self-righteous Night Demon was broken at this moment after a brutal total destruction.

His life, the home he grew up in, the justice he protected, the justice he insisted on, the cause he vowed to persevere in his life, were all ruined, all the darkness and light he had experienced, all the hatred and love, those despair and hope, all his memories, were gone.

What is left after last night's destruction?

"Rebels... Clear all... There is no such thing as slipping through the net. ”

"Good, raze this place!"

Two staccato conversations suddenly reached the ears of a dazed Matt, causing him to jerk his head up, and a flash of anger flashed across his face under the opaque visor.

That voice... Last night's destruction began with this voice.

Hatred is a good thing, it can make people full of motivation in the heart, as long as it is used properly, it can make you burst out with unimaginable power, and when you are at a loss, hatred can also easily guide you in the direction.

On the ground, Cyber was covered in sunlight and somewhat weakly leaned with a cane, walking through the ruins that burned with gunsmoke, and around him, the Devil Gang fighters who had just eaten the morning game were still patrolling with weapons, and occasionally catching one or two guys who were hiding and trying to escape, these villains would often brutally drag them out of their hiding places, beat them to death, and take pleasure in it.

In this regard, Cyber did not want to stop it, and Sergei, who was hanging his shoulders and wearing a strap on the upper half of his body, followed behind him, answering Cyber's questions from time to time.

There was silence where the two men walked, and in the early morning wind, the ashes that covered the ruins were blown up, and small whirlpools of dust rolled up in the low air, even in the place where the sun was born, could not change the despair and dead silence that lingered in this place.

"A hopeless place of death, ha..."

Cyber looked at his surroundings with a blank face, and where ordinary people couldn't see, the souls stayed blankly in place, each soul representing a death, and these remnants were the same as the ones he had seen in Gotham, as if they had been gnawed by wild beasts, mutilated.

"But that's my revenge, like?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, he turned his head, and the dense remnant soul covered the front and back, left and right, he snorted, and wrapped a black spark in his fingertips, casually pointing at the remnant soul beside him, as if he had lit firewood, sending it to completely dissipate between heaven and earth.

He clapped his hands, scattered the dust that didn't exist, and asked casually,

"I heard you found something strange in the fort last night?"

"Well, it's a huge basement. ”

Sergei replied with a solemn face, "Wrapped in strange energy, Arwyn Kid has measured that it is at most a super-sized basement with a king-size size, but Santa Kid was attacked as soon as he went down, and he said that it was as large as a geologically deranged underground castle." ”

"Shadowland?"

Cyber nodded knowingly, the Ancient One had already said this, so this was an incident that had to be dealt with, but he was more concerned about other things,

"Catherine..."

"We didn't find it, we searched every inch of land, every piece of ruin. ”

Sergei lowered his voice, "But I didn't find anything related to Catherine's little girl, and I suspect now that the little girl must have run away and not been caught by the Hand Clan, or worse, she was still in the Shadow Realm." ”

Cyber pursed his lips, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes,

"Dorothy's injuries are bad, and Saimia can't be contacted, so we can't rule out this possibility, so get ready, we'll be in the shadows in a moment!

"More than 800 people were killed or wounded. ”

Sergei said with some gloom, "Only more than 500 souls have been collected, and nearly 400 brothers have remained on this land forever, which is really our worst loss in recent years." ”

"Alas, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred. ”

Cyber sighed, and then a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "Since my brother has taken this place for us, it is impossible to hand it over again! This will be the first piece of land for the Devils in New York, and this place will be ours!"

"Bang"

As soon as Cyber's words fell, the ruins around him exploded, and the broken bricks and stones were thrown into the sky, and a dark red figure grabbed a twisted sharp steel in his hand and pounced on Cyber.

"This is not yours! You destroyer! Give me a ride from Hell's Kitchen... Get out!"

"Huh"

Sebo pushed Sergei away, and his body took a step back, because he was slapped by Shou Lao's claw, he was still in a strange weakness, and his body staggered a little, but he still dodged Matt's surprise attack, and the sharp steel almost slid down Seiber's chest.

The cane in his hand whistled and swept towards Matt's head the moment he retreated, but at the moment of the shot, Matt made a bowed movement, perfectly avoiding the blow, and Sergei, who reacted, raised his intact fist and roared angrily and smashed at Matt from behind, but he was also dodged by him for the first time.

"Get out!"

Enraged, Matt turned around and whipped his leg at Sergei's wound, knocking the bear-like creature back several steps, and the shards of steel in his hand swung at Cyber again, who was not fit for fighting, and he kept retreating, as if he had been beaten back by Matt.

"Devil!

In the face of a furious Matt, Cyber did not panic, his empty left hand swayed, and the heavy silver pistol fell into his hand.

"Enough fighting, isn't it?

When he stepped back to the 13th step, Cyber's wrist flicked, and four bullets were fired with a bang, and there was no need to aim at all, and the four bullets blocked Matt's dodge space from all directions, but to Cyber's surprise, Matt's body twisted three times in a strange way in front of his eyes, dodging all the bullets in less than 1 second.

But he couldn't dodge the fist that followed, which inspired the hot flow of punches on Matt Murdoch's chest, in a weakened state, this punch was powerless, but it also smashed Matt's body away, and the members of the Devil Gang who were patrolling around also saw the boss being attacked, and rushed in with weapons to help.

Matt, who was smashing to the ground, heard the noisy shouts of these people, waved his fist hatefully, threw the steel shards in his hand, and then turned and ran out of the empty alley of the ruins.

"Chase, catch him, kill him!"

Sergei, grim-looking and pained, waved his arms and roared, and more than 20 people chased after him, turning his head to look at Cyber who was standing there, who raised his wrist, where there was a wound that was rapidly healing.

"Are you alright, Boss?"

Sergei asked, and Cyber shook his head, and he looked at where Matt had disappeared, and there was a curious expression on his face,

"An interesting soul, ha, it looks like the bad things in this place are not over yet, keep it locked, Sergey, until we get rid of this place completely!"

"And what about the reason for facing the public? Kama Taj's barrier was removed after 2 days. ”

"Let's just say that the Gotham Christian consortium is going to invest in Hell's Kitchen... It's just a demolition. ”

Cyber waved his hand, "Bring in a few large construction machines to make a show, those locals will only care about what they will get from this demolition, it's nothing more than a handful of bills, it's not a big deal." ”

On the other side, in the depths of the Shadow Domain, the space of this basement completely filled with the power of the beast has been completely distorted, and the most conspicuous feature is that the space here has become extremely large, and the combination of the basement built in a special way and the power of the beast has made this basement truly become an upside-down castle.

The samurai, who are still loyal to the new leader of the Hand in the end, patrol the area, making this already eerie space even more dangerous, but it has not been cut off from the outside world.

Murakami, the new leader with a lot of strange lines on his face, stroked the handle of his katana at his waist, and his back to the people behind him, his voice became hoarse like a scrub rubbing.

"How do they answer?"

Suowanda, a black man with black lines on his face, picked up his mobile phone and glanced at it, his face was full of disappointment,

"There was no answer at all, so they were going to abandon us like that?"

The black man clenched his fists, his face agitated, "Hell, they advised us to use Gotham as a second stronghold! They encouraged us! Now they want to die?"

"Don't be stupid!"

The Botu sitting next to Murakami threw his gloves aside in annoyance, "We have made it clear that we have been abandoned, and now the Devils Gang is still blocking the block, instead of complaining, we should think about how to break the situation." ”

"Alexandra, how's the soul collection going?"

Murakami asked without replying, and the last person hiding in the dark snorted, "Everything is ready, including the perfect material, what are you going to do?"

"Without further ado, we will make a sacrifice tonight, wake up the beast, let the material accept its power, and then we will kill it and reorganize the hand. ”

Murakami's tone was very calm, not like a person at the end of his rope at all, "At that time, whether it is the Devil Gang or the snake hiding in the dark, whether it is the shadow warrior who uses us, or the Foot Gang who betrays us, these accounts, we will slowly settle these accounts with them." ”

"Lady Gao is dead, and she died like a real Hand Ninja... Death is in our sight."

Murakami's voice became lighter, "The last vestiges of the old era of the Hand have dissipated, but this is a good thing and has taught us a profound lesson, we need more strength to support our own ambitions, so let's be pragmatic and save our lives before we think about anything else." ”

He turned around, his eyes calmly admitting his mistake, he swept over the three people in front of him, stretched out his hand, and put it in front of him,

"It's time to fight for yourself, face a strong enemy, show courage... After tonight, we will be true brothers and sisters. ”

At the same time, Cyber stood at the entrance of the Shadow Domain, looking at the dark vortex-like gate, behind him, the members who were ready to assault were ready for everything, Santals, Alvin, Xia Sen, etc., just waiting for Cyber to give an order, they would enter the Shadow Domain, but at this moment, a member of the team hurriedly ran in and whispered in Cyber's ear,

"Boss, there's a strange guy who wants to see you... He claimed to be a special envoy, and he said that he had news of the eldest lady. ”

(Recommend a book "The Best Cultivation Immortal Shenhao", this book is not very suitable for old bookworms, but if you want to change your taste, you can go and see it, the author is also a very powerful guy, and he is currently in a swing period, so everyone gives him some warmth.) )
