iChapter 1: The Borderless City

October 2101, Star County,

It was night, and the moon was like frost, but there were no lights in the city.

Known for its gambling and tourism industries, this city should be one of the most beautiful places on the east coast of Singjun at night, but now it looks like a ghost town. If you look from the sea to the shore, you can only see a hazy and undulating black shadow.

A black shadow sped through the street, and judging from its speed alone, it was clearly beyond the running ability of a normal human.

Some of the guerrillas who were ambushed in the streets also spotted this figure, but before they could raise their guns, the other party quickly lost sight and turned into the corner of the next street.

The black shadow seemed to be running away from something, walking through the streets and alleys, not daring to slow down at all. He fled for about ten minutes while maintaining this high speed, and just as he slowed down a little and tried to see if he had shaken off his pursuers, a substantial flash of lightning struck in front of him. The black shadow was startled and jumped backwards.

But seeing where the road was shattered by electric light, there was a person standing at the moment, he was wearing a bright yellow sè tight-fitting tracksuit, the seam of his pants and the side of his shirt were in the style of a black line, black hair, the length of the hair at the back was left to the base of the neck, and the sideburns were also very long. Seeing this, everyone probably guessed that yes, this person is still carrying a nunchuck......

"Run, you run again, you can still outrun me?" Lei Huo said loudly to the black shadow without hesitation, imitating Bruce Lee's outfit in the death game.

The black shadow also knew that he was entangled by this opponent, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get out, so he simply dispelled the idea of escaping, took two steps forward, and under the moonlight, a figure wearing a black cloak, black clothes and black pants, black boots, and black gloves appeared, completely covering his skin, and wearing a mirror mask.

"Reckless people who do things without thinking about their heads. Mirrorface replied in that hoarse voice, "Do you know how dangerous this city is now? ”

"Stop talking nonsense, hand over the things, don't force me to do it!" shouted Lei Huo.

Before they could say a word, the pursuers felt that a white man in his thirties walked out from the corner behind Lei Huo, he was dressed in a suit, wearing sunglasses and black gloves, with a straight face, and the line of his chin looked rough and resolute.

Mirrorface knew this person, and when the advisor and Darkwater invaded the Zì Yóu frontline stronghold in Washington, Mirrorface was almost killed by Darkwater, and at that time, it was the man in sunglasses who arrived in time to save Mirrorface.

"I advise you to do as he says. He said to Mirror Face, "In the face of a hot-tempered fierce ability, you have no choice at all. ”

"Dixter......" mirrorface replied, "so you ...... Thunderfire is your new partner, huh...... Haha......" His hoarse laughter sounded like choking on sand: "It seems that the city is getting more and more lively." He took something out of his cloak and held it in his hand: "You want this, don't you?"

In his hands shine with green sè light,

"Leave it to us, and everyone will go their separate ways, and no one will be hurt. Dixter said, "The Zì Yóu front line will no longer hold you accountable for your previous actions. ”

"What kind of behavior? Kill a few of you bastards, destroy a few strongholds? Hmph......" Mirror Face replied with a sneer: "Didn't you choose to stand against me first? I would have cooperated with you before, just to deal with the Reverse Cross, but you compromised with them under the condition of being coerced! What a group of hypocritical collectivists and cowards. ”

"You can say that we are in the best interest, but that is not something to be ashamed of. If you don't have enough leverage, why would we choose to give up our own interests and side with you in order to satisfy your personal act of revenge?" Dixter said.

"You're right. Mirrorface put the fragments away again, and it seemed that he was not ready to hand them over at all: "Therefore, you should also understand that since you can't give me any benefits, how can I give you the fragments that I have worked so hard to obtain?"

"It's so long-winded, it's not like you have to rely on force to grab it!" Lei Huo moved his neck twice, "You're really stubborn, you may not be able to deal with Dixter alone, do you still want to be one-on-two?"

Lei Huo didn't pay attention to the mirror face at all, since he escaped from Hell Island and joined the Zì Yóu front. When he went out on a mission, he almost never faced an opponent who could make him serious, and the guy wearing a mirror mask in front of him, although he hid under a special material costume and his energy status was unknown, but according to Dixter's description, his ability level would definitely not exceed the strong level. Besides, if this guy is very good at fighting, why was he chased all over the street just now?

The mirror face didn't even take out the short sword, with his empty hands, in a hoarse voice, and said in a fearless tone: "I didn't want to do it with a fierce powerhouse, but since I can't get rid of you......"

............

Elsewhere in the city, a man with sky-high short hair was sitting on the roof of a six-story building, with a cigar in his mouth.

He looked less than forty, his face was slightly fierce, his face still had an unshaven beard, he was wearing deep clothes and pants, and he was stepping on a pair of military boots, which was obviously much more low-key than the outfit like Lei Huo.

"Oh...... It's amazing, it's all come to this distance. Beacon took the cigar out of his mouth and whispered.

The gambling snake took a step forward, and its figure was already parallel to Fengxie: "The other two will be here soon." ”

"I know, I noticed when the blood lord and Zuo Dao were still on the street, it's just you, elusive, I don't know how you came here. As Feng Xie spoke, the iron door at the entrance to the rooftop was slammed to the ground by a fist from the blood lord.

"The lock seems to be rusty and not very flexible. "The blood lord is still wearing a vest in late autumn, and a pair of camouflage military pants on the bottom.

Zuo Dao followed him to the rooftop: "I just wanted to say that this door is open inward......"

"Is that just the three of you?" asked Beacon as he took another puff on his cigar and waited for them to get closer.

"Yes, everyone else has a mission, and there are only two advisors and warlocks left in the headquarters," Zuo Dao replied.

"Let's do it again?" I said...... Could it be that the boss really ...... with her," Feng Xie said.

"Who knows, the boss and Gu Li's things, how can ordinary people like me speculate?" Zuo Dao joked.

While they were chatting, the gambling snake was observing the surrounding situation, he looked at a seagull resting on the railing not far away, and said to Feng Xie: "That is the eyes and ears of Wei Province?"

"That's right. Feng Xie replied: "I really envy him, he can be a spy without leaving home, where is it like me, the wind comes and the rain comes, the water comes and the fire goes......"

At this time, the blood lord walked up to him, and without saying hello, he reached out and took out a cigar from his coat pocket, put it in his mouth, and said, "Borrow a fire." ”

"You're really out of sight, aren't you?" said Beacon, snapping his fingers, and the cigar in the blood owl's mouth lit on its own.

"How do you know I put my cigarettes here?" said Beacon.

"By smell. The blood owl replied, dusting off the ashes of his cigarette: "Speaking of which...... I wanted to smell a lot of interesting prey, and I was a little excited. He laughed, "Tell me about what's going on in the city." ”

Feng Xie took out a tablet, clicked it a few times, and unfolded a map in the screen: "This is my hand-drawn, just look at it." ”

"Is your art teacher an alcoholic?" said the blood owl with a glance.

"Okay! That's it, the skill of making slots has improved!" Zuo Dao praised on the side.

Unexpectedly, the blood lord looked back at him and said, "This is not a joke. ”

Silent ...... There was a dead silence, and time seemed to stop for a few seconds......

Feng Xie cleared his throat: "Okay, I'll answer you, more than ten years ago, when I was serving my sentence, of course, I didn't go to Cháo Xi Prison, but during my sentence in an ordinary prison, the prisoner in the same cell as me was a down-and-out painter, I heard from Prison Jǐng that this guy couldn't afford to buy alcohol, so he drank paint thinner, and finally burned out his brain or something...... However, I think that many of the graffiti he painted on the walls with dung are not much different from the standards of some so-called masters in contemporary Europe, and his paintings are impressive by the smell alone. ”

"Dude...... I don't want to hear a story like this in my life, so can you say hello before you talk about this kind of thing in the future, so that I can be mentally prepared. Zuo Dao said.

"Oh, you think it's a little disgusting, don't you?" Feng Xie took another puff on his cigar: "Then you should listen to the story of Prison Jǐng asking me to wipe the walls clean, you can call it a 'sequel', and an easter egg, you know what it is? That's right, the painter dude uses more than just his own, sometimes I don't have time to flush it out after the toilet......"

"You can do it in moderation. The gambling snake stopped the three of them from continuing to talk nonsense with a word, he pointed to the map and looked at Fengxie: "Map, situation." ”

Feng Xie shrugged, pointed to the map, and began to explain: "At present, there are at least five forces in the city, first of all, it is the local army of the empire here and a group of remnants of the defeated generals, their ranks have been scattered, and they are everywhere in the city, as few as three or five people, as many as forty, the total number is difficult to estimate, they have occasional contact with each other, but it is dangerous to move in the city, they cannot be combined.

The second group of people is the troops on the front line of zì yóu, and the coastal line east of the city is all occupied by them, and there are several quite powerful strong opponents among them, and it is difficult for any other force to break through this defense line, but on the other hand, this group of people is considered to be fighting against the water, and once they are defeated, they will fall into a situation where they have no way to retreat, and they can only jump into the sea.

The third force, the civilians, is very few in number, all of them are hiding in the largest shopping mall in the city, but those who remain outside are dead. They blocked all the entrances to the mall, found some old men with shotguns and all the rags that could be used as weapons, and guarded the rooftop.

The fourth group of people are the guerrillas, the rebels, a group of dangerous elements, perhaps as many as the remnants of the Empire. They are the initiators of this incident, of course, they didn't mean it, and the people who will deliberately cause this situation are probably the only ones in this world. The group was scattered all over the city, and they were already frightened by what they had done, and now the Kimi people were in a semi-crazy state.

As for the fifth group, which is Evin's group of survivors, the irony is that most of their deaths were killed by monsters that escaped from their own research. Hehe...... Who would have thought that the secret agency of the empire would be discovered by a group of civilian guerrillas, and that the current catastrophe would occur in the chaos......

In addition, at this moment, there should be a sixth force in the city, it is us, we have ...... Well...... One, two, three, four...... Four people and a bird. ”

Subsequently, Feng Xie pointed out several locations on the map, "Here, is the area with the highest concentration of emperors, this circle, is their base, needless to say in the east, a line is all people from the Zì Yóu front, here and here, there are more guerrillas, and finally, this place is a shopping center." He threw away the cigar he was almost finished: "Needless to say, outside the city, it was completely blocked by the troops on the front line of Zì Yóu, and not a single bird could fly out." ”

The crow on the other side of the railing crowed twice.

Feng Xie glanced back at it, "I think Wei Province wants to emphasize that it really can't even fly out of 'a bird'." ”

"I think I understand the strength of the lockdown. The gambling snake replied.

Feng Xie continued: "There is another thing worth mentioning, regarding the issue of supplies, the city has been paralyzed for more than seventy-two hours, except for the civilians in the shopping mall, they should be able to make do with it, and those outside can only find ways to find things in the buildings to support themselves. But I don't recommend that we do the same, as far as I know, the pollution starts to spread from the underground research institute, and the speed is very alarming, so the water source in the city may not be clean at the moment, let alone drink, you better not touch it. And electricity, there was originally, after all, those monsters had average IQs, and they weren't smart enough to attack power plants or anything, but a stupid hat on the front line was stupid enough to collapse the city's power supply during the battle. ”

The Gambling Snake was silent for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "Our goal is to find 'that person' in the city, and if he is not dead, he will probably stay with the civilians in the shopping mall, or be treated as if the commoners were with the Empire." He is a capable person, and eighty percent will use a false identity, and it is difficult to find out him from the perspective of others. But the current situation in the city is very dangerous, even if it is a paper-level ability, there is a possibility that there will be no corpse at any time, we must control the situation first, and make sure that he will not be killed before we find him. ”

Zuo Dao's brain also turned quickly, he probably knew what the gambling snake was up to, and quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, you don't want us to solve the problem of pollution and monsters?"

"We don't have to, but the first step is to get an evin guy and get more information about the contamination from him, and then we need to think about whether to fix it," the snake said. ”

Zuo Dao nodded: "Oh, that is to say, if this kind of pollution is okay, we will solve the problem easily, and then slowly find someone, if it is difficult to do, we will try to find that person in a short time, and then escape, and let them do what they like to do with the rest of the mess." ”

Unexpectedly, the gambling snake replied: "Quite the opposite." ”

"Huh?" Zuo Dao was stunned when he heard this.

"If the pollution is not a big problem, we can go to someone, but if the pollution is extremely dangerous, we will go all out to solve the problem first," the gambling snake said. ”

Do you know the consequences of doing this? You have to respect yourself, big brother!" Zuo Dao became emotional.

The blood lord was very calm, worthy of being a qualified perverted scientist, and he looked at the problem from a different angle, he snorted disdainfully, and said to Zuo Dao: "Are you stupid? If this pollution situation is very serious and may threaten the safety of all mankind, of course, it must be strangled in the cradle now, and any other plan must be sidelined." And judging from the situation in the city, only we are capable of doing it at the moment. ”

Zuo Dao is right to think about it, if this pollution accident will lead to a global disaster, then mankind should stand on the united front, if not, then we should continue to fight. Then he realized that he was actually despised by this seemingly rough fighter, and it was a terrible thing to be educated.

Feng Xie said: "Then, according to what the gambling snake said, let's try to catch a ...... first."

Before he could finish his sentence, a few kilometers away from them, a huge pillar of lightning rose from the flat ground in the city and rushed into the sky, and even the clouds in the sky were scattered.

"What are you doing? "What is this?" Zuo Dao glared, he had already begun to regret it in his heart at the moment, what did Yan Kong say Just to use this field mission to test his strength and the power of the god in actual combat, he felt unreliable at that time, this bad old man slipped into the toy dome in the Arctic Ocean with the marshal and Doctor Shi to mess around, but let this cheap apprentice come out and play with people, it is not kind.

"Hmph...... Interesting, I'll have to check it out. After saying this, the blood lord threw away the cigar in his hand, stepped on it, and leaped up, unable to stop it.

The expression of the gambling snake remained unchanged, calm as usual: "Hey...... I didn't expect him to follow the team jīng god. He turned away, his gaze suddenly sharp, cold-blooded.

He looked at the railing at the far end of the rooftop, and said to the two people next to him in a jǐng tone: "Something is coming, soon, it's quiet......" He paused: "And it's not human." ”
