Chapter 124: New York and Side Quests
After going around in circles, Xiao Zhen returned to the United States again, this time not back to North Carolina, but to New York, although both places belong to the east coast of the United States, but one south and one north, far apart.
Even at this time, New York was one of the world's financial centers, and since the fall of Great Britain, the world's first empire, the United States of America has risen unstoppably.
In New York, an old-fashioned sedan drove slowly forward, with the TAXI logo on it, even during World War II, New York, as the world's financial center, already had a taxi business.
The driver was a white man, the man was not young, about sixty years old, with a full beard and a peaked cap, but he was not as talkative as those black taxi drivers in later generations, driving quietly, with a heavy look in his eyes, obviously, he still had to come out to work at this age, but also because the family situation was not very good, and during the war, no one had a good time.
Xiao Zhen and John sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the scenery outside the car window, the countless recruitment advertisements reflected on the street wall, and even the propaganda advertisements of the American team, it seems that the American team has been successfully injected with super soldier serum.
Watching the car move forward little by little, passing Lincoln Park, driving to a bridge, which connects the interior to Manhattan, below is the Hudson River, which is the mouth of the Hudson River, from this bridge you can clearly see the Statue of Liberty, this statue is a gift from France to the centenary of American independence, and has towered on Liberty Island since 1886.
After crossing the Hudson River to Manhattan, I saw a towering building from afar, the Empire State Building, this building was just a few years old, brand new, calculated the time, it was completed in 1931, and it has only been 11 years now, as for the Empire State Building, it is the world-famous Times Square, Xiao Zhen did not go out of his way to see, the car turned right directly, after passing through Chinatown, Broadway and Wall Street, the car passed the Brooklyn Bridge, crossed the East River, and went directly to Brooklyn.
Brooklyn is located in the southern part of Manhattan Island and is one of the five boroughs of New York State.
Xiao Scar came to this place, firstly, because the American team was born in this place, and secondly, this is the place where the plot began, and now the plot has undergone slight changes, and the hollowing out of the church in a small Norwegian town makes Xiao Scar not know whether the next plot development is in line with the plot in his mind, and he wants to come over to confirm how much the plot has changed.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Scar refused the taxi driver's change, and then walked with John on the bustling shopping street.
Even in times of war, New York was still prosperous, after all, the war had not yet reached the United States.
"John, this is also the United States, you should be familiar with this place, right?" Xiao Zhen looked at the surrounding shops and pedestrians, as well as the billboards on the street, and felt that this place was not backward, although it was 1942, the prosperity of the whole New York City definitely caught up with the prosperity of the second-tier cities in the real world.
"Master, this world is still a little different from the world I am in, first of all, time, and then the environment, the difference is very big, it's too backward here." John looked at the surroundings and frowned and said, this world is in a period of war, of course, it can't be compared with the afterlife, but it is much better than the last days he was in before.
"Marvel World, this should be the earliest timeline." Xiao Zhen nodded, the technology in the Marvel world is not low, and it is only this movie that is lagging behind, in the later movies, even the space carrier flying in the sky can be built, and its scientific and technological strength is absolutely against the sky, not to mention the Guardians of the Galaxy, which takes place in the alien plot, those super technologies fight and destroy the world.
"Let's go, let's find a place to eat first, oh yes, you don't have to eat, so let's do it, you help me investigate the current information of the American team, I want to know where he is now."
Xiao Scar waved goodbye to John and found a place to eat, this time he found a Chinese restaurant and ate a taste of his hometown, the owner was a thin middle-aged man, with a happy smile on his face, and greeted every customer with a smile, and he squinted his eyes with a smile when he saw Xiao Scar, a 'fellow countryman'.
For a meal, Xiao Zhen ate more than a dozen dollars, and the shopkeeper gave a discount.
After eating, the first thing is to find a place to stay, which is simple, and in such a big city, it is best to find a place to stay.
As soon as Scar stayed at the hotel, John returned, bringing the information Scar wanted.
"The U.S. team is now touring every day, lobbying everywhere for the sale of Treasury bonds, and is now touring in Pennsylvania, and will probably be back in a while, of course, I can't find out how the itinerary is arranged." All John could find out was the information in the newspapers, and it was impossible for him to go to Pennsylvania and ask the tour team at such a moment's notice.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhen nodded, thought for a while, released Arnold and TX, and then said: "The three of you, one goes to Pennsylvania to follow the tour team and monitor the whereabouts of the American team at all times, the other goes to Washington in the south, I want to pay attention to the development of the war situation at all times, and the other one stays in New York and is at my disposal." "He's ready to make a move on the American team, since the main quest can't be completed immediately, let's complete the side quest first.
Super soldier serum, although it is dispensable for Xiao Scar, and the strength that can be increased is not much, but it is better than not pulling out a dime, not to mention, to complete the side quest, the shuttle will give a reward, which is the benefit that Xiao Scar values.
The three of them quickly assigned the task arrangement, TX went to Pennsylvania in the north to monitor the itinerary of the American team at any time, John went to Washington in the south to keep an eye on the development of the war situation, and Arnold stayed by Xiao Scar's side to be at his disposal at any time.
After assigning the task, John and TX took action, the two did not take the T800 with them, this time it was not a past battle, there were few people to hide, and there was almost no danger to them who could transform.
Time passed quickly, two days later, TX sent a message that the next city the American team was going to was Ohio, Ohio is located in the western direction of Pennsylvania, next to Michigan and Indiana, Xiao Zhen instructed TX to keep an eye on the American team, and then contacted John through the shuttle, and after making sure that the recent battle situation did not fluctuate much, he took Arnold to Ohio.
Team America, Super Soldier Serum, Side Quest.
Akron, Ohio, is less than a hundred kilometers from Lake Erie due to its proximity to the Great Lakes region, which has a strong heavy industrial atmosphere.
At this moment, in the middle of the city, a grand tour has begun.
The U.S. team, dressed in blue star costumes, performed a theatrical performance of beating the mustaches, and the audience applauded enthusiastically.
At this time, Xiao Zhen slowly walked into the tour venue, followed by two people with western faces, a man and a woman, it was Arnold and TX.
The two looked at the beautiful team performing in the field, their eyes moved, and they looked at Xiao Zhen, as if asking if they would do it.
Xiao Scar shook his head calmly, and said secretly in his heart: Sure enough, there is no John with high intelligence, such a place with many people to do it, I don't know how much of a sensation it will cause, even if it can succeed, it will be noticed by the U.S. government, Xiao Scar will not be so impulsive, he took the two of them to sit down, watched the tour, and patiently waited for the end of the tour, at that time, it was the best time to do it.
