Chapter 9: The New York Killing Race (3)
The clock is in the 8th hour.
Humvees whizzed through the streets, and Gentle still searched for targets with binoculars from time to time.
Hong Lang has always been paying attention to the leaderboard on the Blood Emblem.
Thankfully, during this time, adventurers' kill points have mostly increased limitedly. The top 10 adventurers also seem to have lost their good fortune and have been slow to rise in their grades.
This made Hong Lang breathe a sigh of relief.
When your own grades are not good, watching others do equally bad is undoubtedly the greatest psychological comfort.
Especially when this kind of achievement is related to your own net worth and life.
The Hummer has entered Brooklyn, and here it is almost officially in New York City.
Brooklyn was once known as a black ghetto, and due to its low level of education, it was once the most crime area in the United States, and was considered by some to be a place of chaos, squalor, and crime. With the change of times and the development of society, Brooklyn's former notoriety has gradually improved, although the black people here are still hostile to foreign races, but after the emergence of mutants and the birth of new racism, even the black people themselves are involved in this new race war.
Perhaps it is the history of black slavery that has made black people hate racism to the core, so a considerable number of blacks have a sympathetic and even supportive attitude towards mutants compared to white people. As a result, Brooklyn was the least affected by the fighting.
Most of Brooklyn's streets are laid out like a chessboard, and many street names are named with numbers. The wide and bustling commercial street is lined with small alleys and alleys of quiet residential areas, and the houses are colorful and colorful, but the architectural style of each street is often relatively consistent. Except for some apartment buildings with no more than six floors, most of the houses are two-storey buildings, with independent bungalows in the shade, small houses with fairy tale roofs, exquisite and practical duplex or townhouses, colonial style with open gallery arches, Victorian style with thin pillars, thick and luxurious brownstone, and so on. These old mansions with different styles, colorful, neat and beautiful, with a history of more than 100 years, are like well-dressed half-aged, and the vicissitudes of life are gorgeous. Strolling through the streets and alleys, enjoying the gentle leisure, watching the red flowers and green grasses in the front yards of every house, as well as the decorative pieces that seem to be scattered there unintentionally, are pleasing to the eye and beautiful.
The Humvee slowed down the streets of Brooklyn, and although New York City is now devastated by the war, the borough of Brooklyn, known as the City of Trees, remains intact in many ways – and it is ironic that what was once a chaotic place is becoming the safest place in all of New York.
Shen Yi sat in the car and watched the scenery on the side of the street, he suddenly pointed to a restaurant in front of him and said, "I ate at that restaurant." ”
Gently put down the binoculars and looked at Shen Yi.
"I was in New York on a business trip two years ago, and a guy introduced me to it. A young black man traveled all the way to China to learn Chinese cuisine, and when he returned, he opened a Chinese restaurant. Can you imagine? He did more authentic than most Chinese, but the business was not good. I ate there a few times and became friends with him...... I just saw him standing in front of the restaurant. Shen Yi smiled and looked gentle.
Gentle tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Do you think he would know you if you went over now?"
There was a hint of confusion in Shen Yi's eyes: "I don't know ......"
After thinking about it, he smiled and shook his head, "No, it's impossible. This is not the world we have experienced and are familiar with. They just look a lot like ....... ”
He looked at gentleness: "It's just a bunch of NPCs." ”
Gentleness opened her mouth, wanting to say nothing, but after all, she didn't say anything.
Shen Yi looked at the restaurant behind the car, his eyes were full of sadness - if the people in the mission world are just a group of NPCs, then what about themselves? What are they?
No one can answer this answer.
Indulgent thoughts spread out and gathered in the wind, and concentrating, he patted King Kong on the shoulder, "Stop here, I'll go get some news back." ”
"Are you sure you can find out what you're looking for here?" King Kong was a little skeptical.
The place where they are staying at the moment is called 230th Street.
New York's place names are often represented by numbers, starting at First Avenue and extending beyond the hundreds. For example, the famous fashion street Fifth Avenue and so on.
230 Street is one of the more famous streets in Brooklyn, but not because of its bustle, but because of its chaos.
Long before humans went to war with mutants, it was known as a place of chaos, a place of gang fighting. There are more than 20 homicides on 230th Street every year, and there are countless kidnappings, thefts, and so on. In the famous movie "Die Hard 3", the New York cop played by Bruce Willis was stripped down to only a pair of underwear, and a sign was hung on his body that said, "I hate." He was nearly eaten alive by the local blacks.
At this moment, facing King Kong's puzzled eyes, Shen Yi smiled slightly.
He whispered, "A place of chaos is often also a place of good information. ”
There's a nightclub on the corner of the street that's open.
In the war years, all industries withered, but the form of entertainment such as nightclubs was hardly affected. When people no longer have enough money to travel around and bask on the beach to see the beach beauties, getting drunk becomes one of the most economical forms of entertainment.
Especially those thugs and gangsters who don't know tomorrow today, for them, seizing the time to enjoy their youth is the focus of life.
Pleasant music is playing in the nightclub, a large group of dancers are singing and dancing on the big stage in front of them, bunny girls in three-point costumes are walking around with wine trays, asking about the needs of guests, and there are guests laughing loudly with girls in their arms everywhere, and the cigars in their hands are curling with a trace of smoke.
Shen Yi strolled to the bar, took out ten US dollars and put it on the counter: "Whatever you want." ”
The bartender quickly brought Shen Yi a martini.
The U.S. dollar was redeemed by Shen Yi before entering the Bloody City, and he preferred to solve problems in a softer way than those adventurers who entered the mission world first. 1 bloody point is exchanged for 20 US dollars, the exchange ratio of RMB and US dollars, and the bloody city fixes it into an eternal 5 to 1, Shen Yi once laughed and said that this is the bloody city's prediction of the future appreciation of the RMB, and Wen Rou thinks that the prediction is a bit demeaning.
"Need something more? The bartender gave him a courteous smile.
Shen Yi casually took out another ten dollars and handed it to the bartender: "Just answer my question." ”
"It depends on what the problem is. "The bartender was cautious and didn't take the money.
"I want to know who the most well-informed people here are. ”
The bartender's face was a little embarrassed, he thought about it, and whispered into Shen Yi's ear: "If there is no urgent matter, it is best not to look for him, that person is not easy to mess with." ”
"You just have to answer the questions. ”
"Add ten more dollars. The bartender replied.
Twenty dollars, the bartender quickly put the money in his pocket, and while wiping the table with a rag, he said as if nothing had happened: "Box 3, Mr. Mobley, I won't admit that I told you." ”
"Understood. Shen Yi nodded.
After going around the nightclub, Shen Yi found a place to sit down.
From here, you can see Box 3, and through the hanging beaded curtain, you can vaguely see a middle-aged man, holding a bar girl on the left and right. Outside the box, there were also two big men with large tattoos on their bare arms.
Shen Yi looked at the middle-aged man for a while, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and a bar girl came to him: "What does Mr. need to come?"
Shen Yi casually took out a stack of beautiful dollars and put it in the hand of the barwoman: "Choose a good bottle of wine for me and give it to Mr. Mobley in Box 3." ”
"Do you need me to bring anything for you?"
"Don't say anything. ”
Then the woman took the money and left.
It didn't take long for a bottle of high-end red wine to be delivered to Box 3.
The middle-aged man asked a few words in surprise, and after getting the answer, he looked at Shen Yi in the distance.
Shen Yi raised his glass to the man.
It didn't take long for the barmaid to come to Shen Yi's side and say, "Mr. Mobley, please come over." ”
―――――――――――
In the No. 3 box, Mobley stared at Shen Yi coldly.
This is a man with a cold face, and he belongs to the kind of person who knows what kind of person he is just by looking at his appearance.
Mobley is a well-known black hand in this area, and he is mainly responsible for collecting and disposing of dirt. The people who do this kind of work have the most contact with criminals, and they are also very well-informed, black and white, so they occasionally do some news trafficking business.
At this moment, Mobley looked at Shen Yi opposite, and after a while, he hugged the girl next to him and said:
"Do you know why I called this man? not because he sent him eight hundred dollars worth of wine, but because he didn't ask for anything in the process, you know it's easy to find a bunch of freaks in this world, but it's hard to find someone who is selfless and doesn't ask for anything in return. He said it to the girl next to him, but his eyes looked at Shen Yi: "I believe that he is not the kind of person who does not ask for anything in return, and in fact I don't deal with this kind of person." That would only mean one thing, our friend did have something to ask me for, and he was very bold and confident, but he clearly looked down on me Mobley, and he should have caught my attention with three thousand dollars of wine. ”
Mobley casually pointed to the wine on the table: "This bottle of wine will allow you to sit in front of me, but as soon as you say something that upsets me, I will immediately ask you to throw you out." “
Shen Yi smiled slightly: "I never thought of exchanging eight hundred dollars for Mr. Mobley's lunchtime, although you are not Warren Buffett, but in some ways you can also offer a pretty good price for lunch with you." Especially for well-informed people like you. ”
"I knew it was. Mobley muttered, and he wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Tell me, then, what do you want to know?"
"There's news about mutants. ”
"If it's ordinary news, walk out of this box, you can ask enough questions from any random person. ”
"News about where they are and how to find them. ”
"That's no ordinary news. Mobley narrowed his eyes, put the thick cigar in his mouth and took a few puffs of it, and then said slowly, "Ten days ago, a few miscellaneous pieces bought a batch of arms from Lyman Brothers. Someone recognized one of them as a mutant. One of my buddies took a closer look at where the weapons were going, and he got an address. ”
"I want that address. ”
Mobley looked at Shen Yi with some confusion, thought for a while, he dusted the cigar ash in front of Shen Yi, and then said slowly: "I don't know where you came from, but I'm not interested." I don't even want to know what you have to do with those mutant bastards. Want to get news from me? Yes. $300,000. ”
"300,000 US dollars?" Shen Yi smiled: "It's not cheap." ”
"That's the price for the FBI. ”
"Nope. Shen Yi shook his head: "If someone from the FBI comes over, they will throw you a copy of the information, which contains all the immoral things you have done over the years, which is enough to spend the rest of your life in prison forever." Then you will take the initiative to tell them all the news they want to know, in exchange for you to continue to live a good life, including continuing to slaughter guests like me. ”
Mobley laughed eating, he hugged the woman next to him hard, and pointed at Shen Yi with his finger holding a cigar: "I like this guy." ”
Then he slapped his hand on the table and whispered, "Take the money or get out!" For the sake of the wine, you have one last chance to walk out on your legs. ”
Shen Yi smiled lightly: "There is something I forgot to tell you." I'm giving you an $800 bottle of wine, not because I'm going to trade it for your lunch, but because I've noticed that New York is different from what I had originally expected. This is a time of chaos, and money, while still useful, is no longer dominant. There is another thing that has more use value than money, and it costs very little. Considering that money doesn't mean much to me anymore, I could have been more generous and use it as compensation for you. ”
"Compensation?"
"Yes. Shen Yi said with a smile.
He struck out with lightning and grabbed Mobley's head, slamming his head into the fruit bowl on the stage. The big man outside heard the sound and entered, and when he saw this situation, Shen Yi suddenly stretched out his left hand, grabbed the neck of one of the big men, and gently pressed the thumb of his left hand on the other party's Adam's apple, and the big man fell to the ground softly. Another big man was about to pull out a gun, Shen Yi stepped on his instep, grabbed his collar with his backhand, pulled him down, pulled him to the front of the stage, and knocked him on the back of the head, the big man also rolled his eyes and fell down on the spot.
This set of attack movements was as smooth as a cloud, and Shen Yi easily dealt with the two bodyguards beside Mobley without even standing up. The two women beside Mobley had just reacted at this time, and they were about to scream in fright, but Shen Yi had already put his fingers to his mouth and made a boo gesture.
Carrying Mobley casually, this guy has melons and fruits all over his face.
Picking a flattened grape from Mobley's face, Shen Yi took a small toothpick and said to Mobley with a smile: "Give me the address, otherwise I will pluck your eyeballs as grapes and stuff them into your mouth." ”
His expression was sven, not at all like a person who could make a spicy hand. But Mobley is accustomed to seeing all kinds of underworlds, and knows that looking at a person's ruthlessness and hotness is not based on his expression, but on his means. As soon as Shen Yi made a move, he easily put down the two bodyguards, without frowning, and said to himself that he would make a move, and his movements were fast and ruthless, which fully showed that this was a master who was accustomed to seeing wind and waves, and it was by no means a lie and intimidation.
To be able to get to this point, it is not necessary to see the coffin to shed tears, Mobley immediately replied: "145th Street...... The Hudson Building, there's an underground garage there, and there's at least twenty mutants there!"
"Good. Shen Yi nodded with satisfaction, and the hand holding Mobley was slightly released.
Dusting off the residue from Mobley's body and patting his face, Shen Yi said in as gentle a tone as possible: "You know that most of the time I don't like to use violence to solve problems, but I have to admit that it is indeed a very effective solution in many cases. This bottle of wine is an atonement, and I wish you a pleasant evening. ”
With that, Shen Yi stood up and walked out. He glanced around casually, and was about to leave, when suddenly a sight flashed before him.
A young Caucasian man was coming out of the next box, his wrist covered with a bloody coat of arms.
Adventurer?
Shen Yi was shocked.
At this time, the adventurer also saw Shen Yi, and his eyes also showed an unbelievable look of shock.
The two of them looked back at the box they came out of at the same time, and Shen Yi said sharply:
"Who's sitting in the box next to you?"
"My men. ”
"Is the guy who spotted the mutant in the box too? ”
"Yes. Mobley didn't understand why the other person was asking this question suddenly.
"Damn!" Shen Yi scolded angrily.
The Caucasian man not far away was apparently also questioning the people in the box, and received the same answer, with the same angry scolding.
The two men looked at each other again, their eyes spewing flames.
The next moment, they suddenly rushed towards the door of the nightclub at the same time.
――――――――――
Shen Yi rushed out of the nightclub quickly, jumped from the window into the Hummer with Jackie Chan's signature move, and shouted, "Hurry up!"
At the same time, the Caucasian young man also rushed out, ran to a red sports car not far away, and shouted the same way: "Drive!
King Kong asked as he activated, "What happened?"
Shen Yi replied in a casual voice: "It's nothing, it's just that I ran into other adventurers, and they also got the address, if you don't drive faster, it's someone else's if you arrive late." ”
"Damn!" King Kong scolded, slammed on the accelerator, and the Hummer rushed out.
Both cars started at the same time and sped towards 145th Street.
The red sports car started a little later than King Kong and fell behind the Humvee. The car was driven by a young and attractive blonde woman, and in the back seat of the car sat two men, one white and one black.
Seeing the Humvee pass ahead of them, the young Caucasian man in the passenger seat shouted, "Wena!
"Don't worry!" replied the blonde woman with a smile.
A control box on the bridge was opened, revealing a row of buttons. The blonde woman pressed one of the red buttons and smiled softly at the white youth, "Inject nitric oxide." ”
A wave of flames erupted from the tailpipe of the sports car, and the red sports car flew out like an arrow, overtaking the Hummer in an instant.
"Oh roar!" the adventurer in the red sports car let out a loud smug call at the same time, and the previous Caucasian man even stretched out his middle finger at Shen Yi in the car.
"Damn!" Hong Lang punched the console, smashing the console baffle to fall off, revealing countless wires inside: "King Kong, how did you drive a stupid car!"
"That car is modified!" King Kong replied loudly, "Our car is not as fast as it, and I am not familiar enough with the road!"
Shen Yi said: "Gentle, look at the map and find out the best route to 145 Street!" ”
Gently spread out the map, and kept swiping her fingers on the map: "145 Street is in the Queens District, and it takes at least sixty-eight blocks to pass from here, and if there is no traffic jam on the road, it will take about 40 minutes to get there." But at their speed, I estimate it will take 30 minutes at most. ”
"10 minutes is enough to kill all the mutants several times, we must get ahead of them, gentleness, find a route that will allow us to get there in twenty minutes!"
"It's so much simpler. Gentle drew a straight line with her fingers on 145th Street and her current location: "Just open a straight line." ”
The people in the car, you look at me, I look at you.
"Oh no!" King Kong shook his head, "That's crazy. ”
"Let me do the crazy stuff. Shen Yi smiled: "This time I'll drive, and you'll lead the way." ”
"But I'm not a professional navigator. Gentle exclaimed.
"We don't need to be professional. ”
At this moment, Hong Lang suddenly shouted angrily: "There was a rear-end collision accident in front, which is causing a traffic jam, damn, those adventurers did it." ”
"It doesn't matter. Shen Yi replied calmly: "We can't use this road for too long." ”
"Fasten your seatbelts!" King Kong let out a hysterical roar.
