24th hour.

Fifth Avenue is located in Manhattan, New York.

It is a small island located in the heart of New York, between the Hudson and East rivers. As the smallest borough in New York, it is also one of the most affluent and prosperous boroughs in New York.

If the United States is the center of the world and New York is the center of the United States, then Manhattan is the center of New York.

Broadway, Wall Street, the Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, Central Park, the United Nations Headquarters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Opera, these names and the bustling places they represent are all concentrated on Manhattan Island. Even the United Nations Headquarters is located on the West Bank of the East River in Manhattan.

It was once the most desirable of holy places, and every move or even a sneeze could make the world's finances unstable.

Someone once said that to destroy the world, it is enough to destroy Wall Street.

Considering the financial turmoil caused by the subprime mortgage crisis that swept the world, this statement is also reasonable.

However, "wallstreet" is actually just a microcosm and concentration of Manhattan's financial power.

Black Mercedes drives along the avenue, once Manhattan, pedestrians are always in a hurry to walk the streets, as if every minute is a multi-million dollar business to be done, girls are always colorful, looking for rich broadmen, everywhere there are glass curtain walls glittering high-rise buildings, skyscrapers row after row.

But with the outbreak of the American Civil War, the prosperity of Manhattan is fading.

The United Nations Headquarters building at the corner of First Avenue and 44th Street has been relocated, the Empire State Building on 34th Street in New York has long since collapsed, the tall Statue of Liberty in the distance has been reduced to rubble, the bustle of Wall Street is gone, and the exchanges are empty and deserted.

St. Paul's Cathedral, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Broadway and St. Thomas's Cathedral at the corner of Wall Street, these iconic religious buildings were destroyed in the battle, religious beliefs were shattered in chaos, God could not save his believers, the only thing that could save himself was a gun.

The racial civil war has caused severe losses in the United States, the economy has been greatly damaged, and the prosperity of the past is no longer visible.

When the car drove to Fifth Avenue, the Fifth Avenue that Shen Yi had seen was expensive, with an annual rent of 10,000 US dollars per square meter, was now depressed and cold to the point that no one cared about it.

Once Fifth Avenue, the central street of Manhattan, New York, it used to be the world's most famous gold grotto, is the representative of top brands, is a symbol of dignity and elegance, is the leader of fashion, synonymous with the highest quality and taste.

Every woman has dreamed of going to Fifth Avenue to shop for groceries, to feel the money-burning madness of this land of precious land, and to fantasize about one day enjoying a relaxing breakfast in a noble jewelry store.

Now, however, it is just a rubble ruin.

The place with the most prosperous economy is always the top priority.

When people yearn for those bustling metropolises, they never think that once the war starts, these cities that are the economic lifeblood are destined to be the first to fail.

Ancient wars fought for the army, and modern wars fought for resources and economy.

The more prosperous the place, the more it was the first to be attacked, so the Manhattan area became the most fierce area attacked by mutants in the Great Civil War in New York, and it was also the area with the most mutants and the most powerful attack force, and it was also the area with the most chaotic battles.

Government troops, mutant organizations, gangster organizations, and citizens who have taken up arms to defend themselves have formed an intricate distribution of forces here, like dogs and teeth, you have me, I have you.

The distress signal coming from here is not unusual at all.

Through the car window, Shen Yi saw a building in the distance that was collapsing in a huge explosion.

Flames rose into the sky, smoke and dust everywhere, and military and police came from all directions, but no one could control the spreading chaos.

Residents took up their guns, and they had no trust in the government.

I have to say that this is the sorrow of the United States, every time a disaster occurs in this democratic society, whether it is a natural disaster or **, the first enemy in the eyes of the people is the government. Just imagine that when a hurricane, a volcano, or something else happens, the government forces are in a state of hostility with their own citizens at the first opportunity, and you can understand why the country is in such a situation.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the bloody city will secretly contribute to the trouble.

There are always adventurers who get impatient after seeing themselves on the wipe list, and end up taking risks and trying their luck in Manhattan, which is the abyss of the whole of New York.

Coming to Fifth Avenue and looking around, Shen Yi found that there was a shootout here.

I don't know who is fighting with whom, and there are gunshots everywhere.

Shen Yi turned on the intercom: "Lille, I'm on Fifth Avenue, where are you?"

Lille was the soldier of the airborne battalion who found the distress signal, and Frost ordered him to stay here and wait for Shen Yi.

"Sir, I'm watching the fighting, there's fighting everywhere here, there's humans, there's mutants, there's gangsters, it's chaos, everybody is crazy, they're shooting at sight! Oh my God, I never thought New York would be so bad in 60 years. It's simply World War III!"

"Where do I go to find someone who is sending a distress signal?"

"I saw them go to Central Park, sir. ”

"Got it. Shen Yi cut off the intercom, turned to the owner of the car and said, "Go to Central Park!"

The owner of the car was a middle-aged white man, and he yelled at Shen Yi: "Are you crazy? It's already hell there, and we're standing on the edge of hell." You still want to drag me and my car and jump in? No! I won't do it if you kill me!"

Shen Yi casually put the spirit musket against the owner's head and said, "Then let's kill you." ”

The owner screamed in fright.

Shen Yi said coldly: "Give you two choices." One: I beat you to death. Two: I'll open it. You can get out of the car, or you can follow me to my destination and drive away by yourself, wherever you like. ”

The owner of the car shuddered for a moment, thought about it and gave Shen Yi a surprising answer: "Okay, you come to drive, I want to stay in the car." ”

"You're not as timid as you are. Shen Yi said with a smile.

"Because this car is all I have. ”

"Hopefully you've insured. ”

"Yes, I did, but the insurance company was fucking bankrupt and my company was ruined. "The owner wanted to cry without tears.

At that moment, another flare rose in the sky.

It's a colorful flare sent by the adventurer, which represents a hundred thousand urgency.

Shen Yi's face sank quickly, threw the owner of the car to the back seat, and he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Central Park.

―――――――――――――――

Central Park, once the most beautiful urban park in the world's largest metropolis, is located on Fifth Avenue and Central Park West. The 340-hectare Central Park was once a favorite destination for Chinese artists. It is here that many street artists made their fortunes, selling their works and becoming famous.

The war did not spare this beautiful urban idyll, as the Mercedes roared through the bullet-filled Fifth Avenue, and at the moment of leaving the crossing, rushed into the west side of Central Park from the side, galloped through the light green grass, and frantically searched for the location of the flare around the beautiful artificial lake.

When he came to the Central Park Zoo, Shen Yi finally found the adventurer.

About a dozen people are facing each other in the rainforest.

There were only four people on one side, as many as seven people on the other side, and ten of the eleven people were adventurers, and to Shen Yi's surprise, the four adventurers from the West District who were racing on the highway with them yesterday were also impressively listed. They belonged to one of the Group of Seven, and the other three were also adventurers, one of them with a big beard was obviously Indian, and two were also Asian, one of them was short and might have looked Vietnamese, and the other looked like he was all in a bad body, but he couldn't tell where he was from.

The West Side and the South Side have united.

They were confronted by the Eastern Side adventurers who sent out a distress signal, three Chinese adventurers, and a balding white youth, who was a mutant.

Surprisingly, despite the small number of adventurers in the East End, the outnumbered side seems to be helpless against the other.

The three adventurers in the East Side had gathered the mutant boy in a corner, and one of the female adventurers with excellent stature was pointing a gun at the mutant boy's head, looking at the others coldly. Behind them was an enclosure where a number of monkeys were jumping up and down, a few of them learning from the humans outside, squeaking and grimacing at the outside.

Shen Yi's heart moved slightly.

He didn't drive directly, but put up the collar of his trench coat to block his side, pretending to be a passing vehicle, and quickly evacuated after encountering a confrontation, and after making a circle, he drove into the artificial rainforest next to him and stopped, quietly observing.

It can be seen that the mutant is the cause of the war.

Shen Yi guessed that it was very likely that the adventurers of one side found the mutant, but adventurers from other regions intervened, and the two sides competed, and the result fell into the hands of the people of the Eastern District, and the adventurers of the Western District and the Southern District joined forces to deal with the Eastern District, but the Chinese have always been known for their cunning and intelligence, so someone immediately used the mutant as a threat, although the weak side also brought the situation to a stalemate. However, it is impossible for them to leave, so they can only be forced to send a distress signal and call for help.

What puzzled Shen Yi was that it was worth fighting for a mutant for so long?

Thinking of this, he used his mental probing on the balding Caucasian youth.

He was taken aback by the results of the psychic probe.

"Nedy Neal, a level 4 mutant, has the ability: Elimination. ”

"Level 4 mutants?" Shen Yi couldn't restrain the huge surprise in his heart anymore, and exclaimed in danger.
