Chapter 9: The Dark World
CHAPTER IX
"Did you hear it, there was a gunshot just now!" Lin Li didn't expect that the person he was looking for was a few blocks away from this LAPPD department. Just as Lin Li and the knife man Mary were fighting, An Qi showed a solemn expression in this direction, and she heard the sound of gunshots.
"Gunshots? What gunshots? At this time, Anqi and the little fat man were sitting in a KFC fast food restaurant that ran day and night, and the little fat man was staring at the billboard of the white-bearded old man in Sandoz in a daze. Hearing An Qi's sudden speech, the little fat man turned his head and showed a puzzled expression. The little fat man didn't hear the gunshots, it was several blocks away from where Lin Li was fighting, and there were all kinds of uneven buildings along the way, which limited the gunshots to a certain range.
The little fat man's general's bloodline began to reveal over time, and his sensitivity to the blood of living creatures became stronger and stronger, but although his hearing and vision were not weakened, they were not much different from ordinary people, which was also the reason why An Qi could vaguely hear the gunshots that ordinary people couldn't hear, but he couldn't hear them.
The gunfire made An Qi nervous, and An Qi's nervousness also infected the little fat man, who became alert and reached out to shake An Qi's hand. An Qi and the little fat man were thrown together, and the two of them and the other seven newcomers were thrown in a warehouse by the main god, and they couldn't figure out the details of the seven newcomers, and An Qi and the little fat man both said that they were newcomers, and they mixed in the crowd and acted with others. It is more dangerous to act together, but the danger of acting alone will not be much less, and there is no news from Lin Li and Magino that neither of them acted rashly.
At this time, the little fat man and his group of nine people were all huddled in the KFC store, and the only clerk was dozing off behind the counter. Some of the newcomers had to stay together and whisper, and some were stunned with their pupils staring into the distance in a daze. The task given by the Lord God to the newcomer is to find Sarah Connor and follow her for 48 hours to survive, on the condition that she cannot leave Sarah Connor more than a hundred meters. This quest will only be activated if it is within fifty meters of Sarah Connor, so if they can't find Sarah Connor, they will never be able to activate the quest. Finding Sarah Connor means that there is a high chance that she will be attacked by the T-800, so they seem to be safe for now without activating the mission, which is the idea of most newcomers.
As if to prove that what An Qi had heard before was true, it was not long before the shrill sirens appeared from a distance and quickly disappeared, and the appearance of the sirens made the newcomers a little commotion. These people have no passports, no proof of identity, no place to live and no money. Once questioned by the police, it can be troublesome.
"Get out of here. Hide in this place for a while and wait until dawn to figure out a way! An Qi thought of the consequences of being met by the police, and lowered his voice and said to the little fat man, the most important thing is that because of the previous gunshots, the police will definitely investigate the suspicious people in the neighborhood, and they stay in KFC and are simply waiting for the police to find them. The little fat man nodded and quickly stood up.
"We need to get out of here. If we encounter the police, we will not be able to do our job if we are locked up. If you are repatriated and sent back to China, it will be even more troublesome. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to come out then! The little fat man amplified his voice and greeted the others, his voice just attracted everyone's attention without being too harsh to alarm the people outside, and his words suddenly made many people hesitate.
"Let's go. He's right, if we are interrogated by the police, we may even be in danger of our lives. The Los Angeles police in this day and age are not much safer than robber criminals, especially those of us who don't even have an identity! As soon as the little fat man said this, someone immediately chimed in.
"No, where can we go when we get out of the rut? I can't find that woman, we have no money and no identity, how to survive now is a problem, I think it's good to be caught by the police, at least you don't have to worry about eating, and you don't have to worry about meeting those black people who robbed *. It would be better if we were repatriated, we don't have to worry about encountering a terrifying monster like the T-800, China can't have that kind of thing, right? The other person retorted differently from the previous one.
"If you are repatriated, you don't have to worry about robots, but we don't complete the task, even if the main god who sent us here doesn't care about us, don't forget, according to the plot design of the Terminator, in a few years, Skynet will drag the whole world into a nuclear war, and then do you think you can still live?"
This was right, and the man who spoke before suddenly fell silent. In the world of the Terminator, according to the plot setting, 1997 is the time of the end of the world, even if you don't take the initiative to complete the task, the main god doesn't care, the people here can only survive until 1997 at most, and now if they are repatriated, they can only live for more than ten years, and if they can live for a few more decades, who wants to live only ten years?
"Let's go, avoid the police first! I heard that the church will contain some wanderers, so if we can't do it, we will find a church and stay for now, and then figure out a way after dawn tomorrow! This idea was eventually accepted by the majority, and several people were ready to leave the place first. The little fat man and An Qi exchanged some dollars before coming here, but it was impossible to explain the dollars at this time, unless they admitted that they were veterans who had experienced a few world circles, but it was revealed that An Qi and the little fat man were not willing.
A group of nine people are ready to leave KFC, whether they are willing to walk together in this strange place in the world or not, it still gives people more security. The little fat man pushed open the glass door of KFC, and as soon as he walked out, a police car stopped outside KFC with a 'creak'.
Two white policemen in the police car were talking and laughing in the car, and it was clear that the bodies in the police station had not affected their mood. The two policemen parked the police car outside the KFC door with a 'creak', and were about to get out of the car to find some supper, when they looked up and saw the little fat man who was about to come out of the KFC store. The whole Asian race is extremely abnormal in Los Angeles at this time. Even in Chinatown at this time, there are very few Chinese wandering the streets, let alone in other neighborhoods at this time, two policemen look at each other and touch the pistol at their waists.
"What are you guys doing? Stand there and don't move, put up your hands for me, so I can see your hands! The two policemen took out their pistols and pointed at the nine people, the little fat man was stunned for a moment, obviously did not expect to encounter this situation, and what was even more unexpected was that the two policemen took out their pistols directly.
"Officer, don't be impulsive, we are Chinese, we have no malice, we just want to leave here after eating!" One of the nine newcomers, who looked like Sven was in his early thirties with gold-rimmed glasses, spoke standard American English to dispel the tension. The main god can translate the languages of different races and countries, and this middle-aged man who speaks English himself is obviously a bit of a superfluous move.
'Bang' no one expected that one of the two policemen would shoot directly in this situation, and the sudden gunfire startled a few people, and then several newcomers turned pale and felt around themselves to see if they had been shot. The policeman's first shot did not shoot directly at the person, and the bullet landed in front of the middle-aged man Svenwen, and as long as the middle-aged man took another step forward, the bullet would fall on him.
"Raise your hands and stand against the wall!" After firing a shot as a warning, the two policemen yelled at several people, and under the real threat of the previous shot, both the middle-aged man and the other newcomers realized that the police here might be completely different from the police they imagined.
"Don't be impulsive, look at the situation!" An Qi slightly pulled the little fat man who wanted to make a move, just this opportunity to see these people clearly, and maybe this is also an opportunity to quietly separate from others. An Qi has always suspected that among the newcomers, there are also veterans who have hidden their identities like them.
Under the threat of naked *naked, several people were forced into KFC, and the clerk who was dozing behind the counter turned around and slipped away when he saw that the situation was not good, and the two policemen didn't know whether they didn't see him or didn't bother to care about him just as if he didn't exist. Several people were forced by two policemen to stand against the wall and turned to face the wall.
"You are not allowed to move, I have the right to shoot him if anyone moves!" A policeman sneered and suddenly reached out and touched a person's pocket, and soon the person's wallet was touched. Reaching out for his bulging wallet, the policeman's eyes lit up and he glanced at the other policeman. The other policeman nodded and yelled again, after which he opened the wallet.
"Shit, what are these things? You damn stowaways, garbage, social moths, pick me up your wallet! The flaming old man in his wallet blinded the policeman's eyes, and the expected extraneous speed became something that was not worth more than shit, which immediately made the policeman furious. The policeman threw his wallet in the man's face and cursed as he checked the others one by one, and the increasing number of red bills made his face more and more ugly.
"Damn*, you dirtier pigs than black* ghosts, I'm going to send you all back to your pigsty and let you eat in the pigsty!" The police determined that these people in front of them were not members of the Chinatown gang, but a group of smugglers who had just arrived in Los Angeles, and the smugglers were not people at all, for them.
"Maka, these guys are stowaways, what are we going to do with them?" Unprofitable The two policemen suddenly looked quite unhappy, and one of them asked the other.
"The chicken* heads in Chinatown may be interested in these women, and as for the men, I don't think the black clinics in Chinatown will mind breaking them down into parts and selling them. Ah, that's a good note, nine people, maybe we can make a small fortune, but before then, I'm going to play with these women! (To be continued......)
