Chapter 45: Ghosts

59th hour.

The Land Rover continued to drive on the roads of New York after a single refueling.

Aimless.

Gentle in the car watched the data changes on the leaderboard: "Everyone is hunting faster, some people are exploding, and more and more people are finding mutant colonies. The ranking change is like the monthly ticket list at the starting point, the competition is terrifying, there are two people who surpass me, Hong Lang and King Kong, but there is still a distance from Shen Yi you. Theoretically, we would only lose the top four at most, and it is unlikely that we will be on the obliteration list. ”

"That's because we made Magneto's hunt list. Hong Lang laughed. He was wrapping his gun in a thick loop with some strips of cotton cloth he had found. He hoped that this would isolate Magneto's ability to influence the metal magnetically, though he also knew that the chances of such an approach were slim.

"If you're worried about that, I think you should add Professor X. I'm sure Stormgirl won't give up. King Kong added. He was driving and laughing with everyone.

"Then we might as well add the human government forces, we seem to have become the most wanted criminals on the same level as the mutants. Shen Yi also smiled.

He's chatting with little Jerry, mostly to know something about Magneto's men.

If nothing else, the second wave of hunting will still be dominated by Magneto's men.

"It's strange, are we here to hunt or to be hunted?" shouted King Kong.

"There is no eternal hunter in the world, and it is not uncommon for prey and hunter to often switch between each other. Strangely enough, some of us still pay a lot of attention to the rankings. Shen Yi said with a smile.

Gentleness gave him a roll of the eyes.

After occupying the top spot, Shen Yi's team focused more on Magneto rather than the leaderboard itself.

The beneficiaries of the rules will always pay attention to the interests outside the rules, and the bound people of the rules will pay attention to the interests within the rules.

At this moment, King Kong, who was driving, suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the car came to a sudden stop with an unpleasant sound of tires rubbing against the ground.

Then there was a bang.

The Ferrari driven by Weina behind him hit his head hard and hit the rear of the Land Rover, and Weina screamed loudly: "What the hell are you guys doing?"

King Kong ignored her, jumped out of the car and rushed to the front to look.

"What's going on?" Hong Lang Gentle also jumped down.

When I came to the car, I didn't see anything.

King Kong touched his head: "Strange, I just seemed to see a little girl suddenly appear in front of my car, so I hurriedly braked." How this will be nothing. ”

"What kind of little girl?" asked gently.

"Dressed in white and with long hair...... She suddenly appeared on the road and looked back......"

"There's nothing here. Gently shook her head helplessly: "Maybe you're dazzled, it's already dark now." ”

"Yes, maybe......" King Kong said in some confusion.

Since everyone had their own things to pay attention to just now, including Shen Yi, they didn't see the girl in white that King Kong said.

There are no people or objects in front of the car, and everyone can only think that it is King Kong dazzling.

Hong Langwei laughed: "This is the world of the X-Men, not the world of the Midnight Bell! What little girl in white, do you think you have hit a ghost?"

"Maybe it's a hallucination? Could it be that some mutant who is good at illusion is secretly playing tricks? like the son of General Stryker in Part 2?"

"It's possible. Shen Yi nodded.

He turned back to the car and shouted, "Luo Hao, do you feel anything?"

"There is no danger approaching us at the moment!" replied the fat man loudly.

With the fat man's response, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forget it, this is a bizarre world, and it's not a big deal if something weird happens, so let's not waste time here. King Kong said.

Everyone nodded back to the car, but Shen Yi was still standing in place.

He understands King Kong.

He knew that King Kong was not a person who was dazzled or could fall into hallucinations. If the flood wave or the fat man fell into a hallucination or a momentary dazzle, he would still believe it, but King Kong ......

After thinking about it, he slowly closed his eyes and activated the three-dimensional image memory.

The next moment he seemed to travel through time and space, the whole time and space were distorted in an instant, and everything was rapidly regressing, like a rewind screen on a video tape jumping quickly.

He saw the oncoming Land Rover drive backwards into the distance, from braking to accelerating......

And he himself was standing in this counter-current time, and countless strange rays of light flashed in front of him, adding a mysterious color to this image.

Then the time lapse stops and resumes to normal travel.

He was standing in the middle of the highway and saw car after car pass through him.

He was able to see the movement of all objects around him.

In the distance, the Land Rover drove again. He could hear everyone's voices. I was in the car and said loudly: "There is no eternal hunter in the world......

Huo Ran looked back, and a white figure suddenly appeared beside him.

It was a little girl in a snow-white robe.

As King Kong said, she really exists!

Her hair was so long that it covered half of her face, and it was impossible to see her face clearly, except for the big bright eyes.

However, for some reason, Shen Yi felt a trace of melancholy, loneliness and helplessness from that look.

She walked past Shen Yi, barefoot, stepping on the ground without a trace of stains.

She just walked on the highway in a daze.

The Land Rover roared in.

Shen Yi finally couldn't help but shout: "Be careful!"

At that moment, he forgot that he was in a three-dimensional image memory, and all he saw was an illusion.

But that's when he was shocked.

He saw the little girl in white suddenly turn around and glance at where he was.

It was exactly what King Kong saw.

At this glance, Shen Yi was terrified.

At the same time, King Kong drove the Land Rover and hit the little girl hard......

The image is shattered!

The curve of time emitted an intense light, and the whole space became distorted.

The next moment, Shen Yi found himself standing in front of the car again, and King Kong and they were honking their horns in the car.

"Shen Yi, what's the problem? Get in the car!"

Looking at the empty ground, Shen Yi muttered to himself: "This is not an illusion. ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Hour 60.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

The night view of New York is actually extremely beautiful.

Even in this chaotic era of the Great Depression.

During the day, the city is full of skyscrapers and canyons, so you can't see the sun all day long, and you can only see a glimmer of sky when you look up.

At night, it's full of colorful neon lights, beautiful posters, and bewitching swimsuit girls on the big screen everywhere.

The U.S. economy was depressed by civil strife, but some special regions were not affected at all, but flourished.

Forty-second Street is New York's most famous red light district.

Every night, the blood-colored red light illuminates the sky, and even the taxis there are painted with the silhouette of a **woman. Tourists from all over the world flock to and from here and out to watch the sex dance floor refurbished and unfurnished sex shows. It is a strange mixture of New York and the god of liberty, a symbol of humanity's noble pursuit, the picturesque Central Park, the skyscraper and the Museum of Modern Art, which showcases the great creativity of Americans.

In the wake of the war between humans and mutants, this is one of the few areas that has not been affected.

Its business is still thriving - both humans and mutants have a need to vent.

The Land Rover stopped at the corner of 42nd Street.

Shen Yi and the others got out of the car, and Wei Na and the others also came over to meet Shen Yi.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Vena.

"Eat dinner first, I'm hungry. Shen Yi replied as he walked towards a nearby restaurant.

"He's still in the mood to eat?" said Lake, pointing to Shen Yi's back and turning to Weina.

"Why don't you eat? Even if you die, you have to be a full ghost. Vina said angrily as she followed.

Feller immediately asked, "Then why do you want to come to Flower Street to eat?"

Lake replied, "Maybe he still wants to be a merry ghost." ”

King Kong shook his head again and again when he heard it from behind, and smiled at Gentle: "These foreigners ......"

Feller's ears were tipped, and when he heard King Kong's words, he immediately turned his head: "Hey, I said gorilla, this is the United States." Here, you're foreigners, you know?"

King Kong pouted, "You better take care of your nose, idiot." ”

Gentleness and Hong Lang laughed out loud at the same time, although King Kong looks like an orangutan, but people are not stupid, and the words with developed limbs and simple mind cannot be fulfilled in him. When Shen Yi was away, King Kong was the head of the team, so Feller could only stare at King Kong's lesson.

By this time, everyone had already entered the restaurant and found a seat to sit down.

Shen Yi went to order the food and came back, sat on the gentle side, and asked with a smile: "I just heard someone say something about me behind my back?"

Wen Rou was about to speak, but Weina interjected, "We're just wondering why you're here for dinner, maybe you have some ideas." ”

"Thoughts?" Shen Yi laughed: "Why do you have to have an idea? We happened to come here, and then I saw a large group of beautiful girls, and I thought it was good, and it happened that my stomach was hungry again, so I decided to eat something here, and by the way, take a look at the beautiful scenery and street girls here, isn't that okay? ”

"Girl, you mean those swashy bitches out there?" said Weina in a disdainful tone.

King Kong said very seriously: "Don't look down on bitches, they are also human beings, and selling ** is much better than getting something for nothing." ”

To her surprise, she replied, "That's not what I mean. ”

"What?" asked King Kong strangely.

Gentle sneered: "She said that she looked down on the makeup of the girls outside." She was referring to the thick grooming part, not the bitch part. ”

Vina nodded repeatedly.

All the men rolled their eyes together.

Sure enough, only women understand women.

"Their makeup is terrible. Wei Na said very dissatisfied, and at the same time took the food brought by the waiter, and while picking up a vegetable salad to her side, she said loudly: "The eyeshadow is too thick, the powder is too thick, and the worst thing is their eyelashes, which are simply terrible." They don't know what makeup ...... is."

Weina continued to make loud and disgruntled comments: "They should learn how to dress themselves. Like them, they will only hurt their skin, and together with their irregular life, they will grow old quickly! This is a very terrible thing for a woman!"

"You used to be a makeup artist?" Shen Yi asked.

Wei Na shook her head: "No, I am a new product developer at Dele Cosmetics, and I am responsible for the design and development of twelve new products, nine of which have good anti-aging effects. I was brought here when I was working on the thirteenth product...... Thirteen is really an unlucky number. Miss Gentle, if you are interested, I can tell you which cosmetics are better to use in the Bloody City, which are not very expensive, you only need a few bloody spots to buy the best and cheapest products. I promise it will delay your beauty and youth for at least twenty years......"

"Really?" Gentle eyes lit up.

The two women suddenly found common ground and began to talk endlessly.

King Kong looked at Shen Yi with some confusion: "Aren't we going to discuss how to deal with the crisis below?"

Hong Lang said meaningfully: "The building is already crooked." ”

Shen Yi was very serious: "You really have been in the forum for a long time." ”

Perhaps sensing that their current topic was not serious, he coughed softly: "Oh, I guess we should stop discussing makeup." ”

"Why?" Wei Na disagreed: "Men can still think of seeing beautiful women when they fight, why can't we make ourselves more beautiful?"

Gentleness: "I mean, I don't have to mind too much about what kind of cosmetics I use to make my skin better and more youthful. Because in the bloody city, it is a blessing to be able to grow old. ”

Vina was stunned.

She was a little distracted, and weakly pulled the steak and salad in front of her: "You're right, I just haven't ...... for a long time It's been a long time since I've relaxed. Facing life and death every day, either killing or being killed, is really tired of me. I really want to go back to my office and continue the experiment that used to give me headaches. ”

She held her face and wept softly.

Behind all the strength, there is their own pain and helplessness.

Gently sighed softly, patted Weina on the back, and whispered something in her ear.

Wei Na listened very carefully, and a smile appeared on her lonely face.

What they said, no one knows.

Because that's a secret between women.

But at that moment, Shen Yi suddenly felt a hint of happiness.

Because he saw that the estrangement that had been caused by the insistence of Wei Na and the others to leave was stitched up again at this moment.

At this moment, Shen Yi's intercom suddenly rang.

It's Frost.

Shen Yi connected: "What's the matter, Frost?"

"I have something important to report to you, sir. ”

"Say it. ”

"Following your instructions, we are scattered throughout New York to closely observe mutants and adventurer information. Just now one of our young men spotted two seriously injured adventurers, one of whom was the same woman who had been with you. ”

Anwen?

Everyone jumped.

Hong Lang shouted into the walkie-talkie: "You said An Wen is dead?"

"No, sir. Frost's voice was still calm and composed on the intercom. For him, only Shen Yi was the commander who could command him, and everyone else was just friends and partners. The feelings and memories of the World War II world still exist, but they are like distant memories that do not serve any purpose: "She is not dead, but it is clear that she is dying." She was badly wounded, and with her was another wounded, who looked like you were also injured, but not too badly. We've found some mutant corpses around them, and unfortunately we can't heal the wounded, I'm afraid only you can save them, sir. ”

"Where are you now?" Shen Yi said in a deep voice.

"Thirty-sixth Street. ”

"It's not far from here. Gentle shouted.

"Go and save people immediately!" Shen Yi shouted and rushed out of the restaurant.

Lake complained dissatisfiedly: "Damn, we're still wanted, and now we're going to run to save people, God knows how long we're going to be busy." It's been 60 hours and I've only slept for four hours!"

The whining returned, and no one dared to stop.

The adventurers rushed out of the restaurant, started the car and left.

The owner of the restaurant rushed out with a shotgun in his hand, fired several shots at the back of the car, and yelled, "Bastard!
