Chapter 49: Searching
"Serena, Serena...... Reply......"
"Serena, I know you can hear me, answer me quickly......"
"Serena, you're in extreme danger right now, you shouldn't be angry......"
"Okay baby, stop making trouble, I know you see the problem......"
"Listen to me, Serena, I care about you, I want to protect you, you can't just avoid me...... Yes, the people around me have done something wrong, but you can't expect people all over the world to love you...... Don't be willful, baby, no matter how sorry the world is for you, no matter how dark the world is, no matter how bumpy your road ahead is, you have to believe...... At least I've always cared about you......"
"Remember Van Helsing's world? You were Anna at that time, and you took on the oath of your family, and you never gave up on promises that could not be fulfilled. You are a strong girl, and you will never be defeated by any difficulties and setbacks...... Remember how much you longed for me to come back to you? I'm back, I'm back to you! But now you want to go alone?"
“...... Please, Serena, speak! hell, I've never begged anyone like that in my life!"
Shen Yi is about to go crazy!
He kept talking into the intercom, but there was no reply.
This forced him to think about the worst.
Fortunately, Serena finally replied.
"I'm fine...... Shen Yi. Serena's tone was indifferent, without a hint of emotion.
"Oh my God, you're finally talking, tell me where you are?"
"You don't have to come to me, I'm safe now. It's not that I don't believe you, Shen Yi, it's just that I don't want you to have a conflict with your teammates. As you said, I can't expect people all over the world to love me, with you...... I'm already satisfied. It's a pity that you don't belong only to me, you have your own people and you have to consider their feelings. I know what I'm wanted...... That's not you...... Or ...... you guys Capable of fighting. ”
At the last sentence, Serena's words trembled slightly, finally revealing the inner anguish of her forced composure.
Shen Yi finally understood that she left Zhou Yiyu, not to escape for her life, but to prevent Shen Yi and her team from cracking.
A strong and united team is the fundamental guarantee for adventurers to survive in the city.
For this reason, she would rather face whatever could happen herself.
She loves herself more than she loves her!
It is the sum of two worlds, two lives, and two relationships.
It's the love that lasts from the previous life to this life!
"Serena!" Shen Yi exhaled in a low voice.
"That's it, I'm glad to see you again. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself. ”
Serena's voice lowered and fell.
"No, Serena!" Shen Yi shouted, "You can't just give up! Those who are chasing you have endless abilities, they have too many ways to find you!You need me...... I've disconnected from my team, and whatever I do next, it won't bother them. ”
"What did you say?" exclaimed Serena.
Shen Yi smiled: "I have said everything I should have said." Now tell me where you are, and I'll go find you!"
Serena finally hesitated.
After a long time, she said, "Do you remember the apartment we were in together......? I can smell you......"
―――――――――――――
Sixth Avenue.
It used to be one of Fox's busiest shopping streets.
After the explosion, the entire Sixth Avenue was hit the hardest because it was located at the center of the explosion, and the entire Avenue was almost in ruins.
In the center of the avenue is a large crater, which looks like the effect of being hit by an extraterrestrial meteorite.
There is a large amount of waste rock piled up in the pit, and the ruptured underground water pipe is still flowing non-stop, and the pit is gradually turning into a muddy pond due to the blockage of the pipes.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the pool.
A thick mass of energy exploded around the hand.
Rumble!
A man flew out of the pond, and it was Marcus.
He was naked/naked at the moment, and his skin was covered in scorch marks from burns, as well as severe trauma from the impact of the air wave.
Marcus didn't care, though, as the wounds on his body were healing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and would soon disappear without a trace.
Despite this, Marcus, who was disgraced by the explosion, was extremely angry, and with his wings spread behind his back, Marcus flew into the air, and after turning around in the air, he finally locked on to a direction and flew down.
Marcus had just left when another man emerged from the pond.
Alex.
Compared to Marcus, he looks much more embarrassed.
His clothes were in tatters, revealing shriveled skin, a severe cut on his lower abdomen, which almost disemboweled, exposing his intestines, blinding one eye, and leaving only three fingers on his left hand.
But Alex didn't care, and reached out to grab another person under the water, and threw it towards the ground.
He grabbed three people out in a row, and then walked back to the ground step by step, stuffing his exposed intestines back as he went, and by the way, he took the raw muscle and applied it to the wound.
The injury in the lower abdomen is easy to deal with, but the problem is that there is no intermittent ointment and regeneration pill, and the blind eye and the two fingers that were blown off cannot be recovered in this mission.
It made him hate it to the bitter tooth - he had never been so miserable before.
The three adventurers who had been thrown earlier woke up one by one and were all stunned when they saw Alex.
They sat up and looked left and right.
Alex's tone was cold: "Don't look at it, it's all here......"
"Alex, what did you say?"
"I said Kurt was dead, Brad was dead, and Dale was dead...... All killed by that bastard!" Alex replied with a fury in his heart.
The six adventurers who chased Shen Yi with him could be said to be all of his most effective men, and now three of them died in the first battle, plus the young man, his team lost half of its manpower, which can be said to have suffered an unprecedented blow.
In fact, just to save the three people in front of him, he had already exhausted all the body protection crystals. If it weren't for the existence of a defensive prop like a body protection crystal that can resist any attack, even Alex himself would have been doomed a long time ago.
At the beginning, I worked hard to find this kind of one-time props that can resist all kinds of powerful impacts in the wilderness, and I thought that I could greatly increase the chance of survival in future missions, but I didn't expect that under the first battle, not to mention all the use, it would still suffer a heavy loss, which is something that Alex never dreamed would happen before entering the world of this mission.
"Shen Yi......" Alex kept chewing on the name in his mouth, like a wolf's bite. If hatred is a means of attack, then at this moment, Shen Yi has been hit by Alex.
"Boss, what are we going to do now?" asked one of the adventurers.
Alex didn't answer, but fell into a long thought.
Although he hates Shen Yi so much now that it hurts to the bone marrow, at the same time, he also knows how terrible Shen Yi is.
As a leader, the more frustrated you are, the more you have to be calm.
Above all, you must learn to accept the lessons.
Maybe compared to Shen Yi, Alex's leadership style is too rough, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to learn.
By now, at least, he knew that reckless impulsiveness didn't help.
After thinking for a while, Alex finally said, "Burbit, I'm going to hack into the Fox road control system, let's take a look at the situation in this area first." ”
"My system invasion ability is only level 1 and won't last long. ”
"As long as you can find the information on the actions of other adventurers in the West End. ”
"What's the use of that?"
"Do as I say!"
Burbeech can only take out the computer and start hacking into the city's road traffic control system, as Alex said.
Since cameras are installed on most of the major roads in modern cities, it is possible to observe most of the city by controlling the urban traffic system.
Alex hadn't done this before because Burbee's abilities weren't strong enough to support a full-blown invasion, and the North Side itself didn't take the collection of information seriously.
But after facing Shen Yi this time, Alex finally realized the importance of data collection.
Despite a massive explosion, Fox's urban transportation system was not paralyzed, and most of the cameras were still working.
Burbeech constantly switches between cameras that can be used in the vicinity, and through them he looks around, and he switches very quickly to achieve the best search effect in the time he can control.
Alex's gaze always follows the beating of the computer screen. He doesn't have superhuman memory and observation skills like Shen Yi, but he also has an excellent memory and delicate observation.
"Stop!" Alex suddenly pointed to a picture, "zoom in here." ”
The picture is enlarged, and Alex finally sees the picture of Shen Yi and Zhou Yiyu talking on the cross street.
"It's them!" Burbit exclaimed excitedly, he didn't expect to find Shen Yi so soon, and he could only say that he was lucky.
Alex approached the picture to observe it carefully, and muttered: "Only he and the other two adventurers, looking at their faces, are Orientals, they should be Shen Yi's direct subordinates, and the one in the car has not appeared in the direct battle in the passage...... It should be the adventurer in charge of the caretaker, the direct combat ability is not estimated to be strong, and the car is modified...... It should be a guy who focuses on the direction of technology development. ”
Alex gestured to the frame: "Zoom in here." ”
The picture was further enlarged, and Alex saw that Zhou Yiyu was saying something loudly, and his expression was excited.
"There is no Serena...... If he was a caretaker, then Serena should be with him. Shen Yi has no reason to let Serena act alone, people like him...... It is bound to be relieved that everything must be in your own hands. ”
Although he doesn't have a deep relationship with Shen Yi, Alex already knows enough about Shen Yi.
To a certain extent, he and Shen Yi are actually the same kind of people, they are both so proud, conceited, and have a strong desire to control everything. The difference lies only in the ability and the size of the means to realize this desire.
"Something went wrong. Even though he couldn't hear what they were saying, Alex sensed something just by looking at the expressions on their faces as they spoke. His eyes lit up: "A million bloody spots...... I understand...... It seems that not everyone wants to protect Serena like Shen Yi. Serena must have run away, she is not in Shen Yi's control!"
Alex exclaimed excitedly.
"Run out of energy!" exclaimed Burbit, sweat already oozing from his forehead, he had begun to overdraw his life to maintain control of the system.
As a non-true hacker, an adventurer who relies entirely on abilities rather than technology to hack into the system, it takes him a lot of energy or health to maintain this intrusion.
"Hold on!" Alex shouted, "Go backwards! Look at what happened before Shen Yi came back, we can definitely find the direction of Serena's movement and rewind the time to ten minutes ago!"
The image recoiled rapidly, and Alex stared at the frame without blinking, until he suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
As his finger fell, everyone saw Serena coming down from the black lightning and heading to another street, disappearing from the screen in the blink of an eye.
"Switch to Cross Street Camera!" exclaimed Alex.
Burbit quickly switches cameras, and Serena appears on the screen again.
She traveled very fast, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared again.
"Search the Neighborhood!"
The footage began to change, searching for all footage in the vicinity of the time period, and a road map of Serena's walk gradually appeared.
"I can't hold it anymore!" said Burbit, shaking all over.
"Hold on a little longer!" Alex cried frantically, the road map that Serena had walked in his mind was becoming clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, Burbitch screamed and let go, fell to the ground motionless, and the picture disappeared.
The other two adventurers hurriedly held him up.
"He's fainted!" one shouted.
Alex ignored it, his eyes full of madness and excitement.
After a long while, he took a long breath and said:
"I know where she went...... The western suburbs, where a vampire lair is located. The place where Serena used to take Michael in the original plot. ”
He strode forward: "Let's go kill her and complete this urgent mission!"
