14th hour, 10 p.m.

The night sky of New York is full of stars, like countless diamonds on a black tapestry.

Shen Yi sat on the balcony and looked up at the sky, motionless for a long time.

The door to the room was silently pushed open, and a figure gently touched in.

stepped on silent steps, approaching Shen Yi step by step......

Shen Yi suddenly spoke: "It is said that women belong to cats, and there is no sound when they walk, which really makes sense." ”

The figure that crept in let out a beautiful laugh.

It turned out to be gentle.

She put her little hand on Shen Yi's shoulder: "How do you know it's me?"

"If it's a flood wave, he'll come in by kicking the door, if it's King Kong, he'll knock on the door before he comes in, and only a woman will have the leisure to play this little trick of scare. Shen Yi smiled and turned his head to look at Gentle.

In the night, Wen Rou wore a snow-white evening dress with a low-cut long skirt, revealing a large snow-white breast, the faintly visible hills and ravines were clearly contoured, and a diamond necklace hung on her chest, and a jade bracelet was worn on her wrist.

She was smiling at him.

"Makeup?" Shen Yi was a little surprised, he smeared some blush on his gentle face, put on some eye shadow, and wore a pair of false eyelashes, and a pair of already bright big eyes became more and more smart and cute against the backdrop of long eyelashes.

"Is it pretty?" asked gently.

"Not bad. ”

"I thought you didn't like women with makeup. ”

"Men are not women who don't like makeup, they don't like makeup that doesn't look good, or women who have nightmares when they take off makeup. Shen Yi smiled: "You are already good-looking, and putting on some makeup is the icing on the cake, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"You're good at coaxing girls. ”

"It's just telling the truth. By the way, where did the necklace and earrings come from?"

"When you asked the soldiers to help you find Armani, I asked them to carry it for me. Gentle grin.

Shen Yi couldn't cry or laugh.

A woman is a woman, and she naturally loves shiny things.

"Since my soldiers took it for you, do you have to count it as a gift from me?" Shen Yi asked.

Gently and playfully tilted his head and thought about it, and then shook his head: "No, the bloody point of recruiting soldiers was made by the fat man, and the order was given by me, you are at best renting labor, you want me to be grateful to you, send good things over yourself." ”

"In Bloody City, diamond necklaces and jade bracelets are not good things. ”

Gently pointed at Shen Yi: "What you said, then you say, what gift should you give me?"

"You're going to take advantage of it. ”

"Women are the best at asking men for gifts. ”

"But this is not the Earth. ”

"It's just the environment, not the people. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Yes, it's just the environment, not the people.

Shen Yi sighed.

He said softly, "But the problem is ...... To survive in this place, many times we have to erase human humanity. ”

Gentleness is speechless.

She moved a small soft stool and sat down beside Shen Yi, looked at the starry sky under the night, and muttered, "The little guy cried very sadly just now." They don't look like they are the real ones we think they are, but we, the adventurers, are becoming less human. Every day is faced with blood and killing, and every day is thinking about survival and strength...... We are like machines, mechanically and rigidly carrying out the orders of the bloody city. There is no power to resist, no bargaining qualifications, and compared to them, I think we are NPCs. ”

Shen Yi said lightly: "You think too much, thinking about this kind of question will only distract you and make you unable to concentrate, which is not good for you." ”

"But we're facing it!"

"Then keep facing it!" Shen Yi suddenly stood up: "This is not a journey without an end. In the center of the bloody city, there is a holy tower. As soon as we complete all five difficulties and become a marshal, we can enter the Holy Tower and challenge the highest mission. At that point, all the answers will naturally appear in front of us. In this case, we should go on well, although this road is very long, as long as we live, we can always get there. ”

looked at Shen Yi gently and in a daze.

After a long time, she said, "Are you sure you can get there?"

Shen Yi turned around and didn't look at her: "Be a man...... There has to be a goal. ”

chewed Shen Yi's words carefully, looked at Shen Yi's back gently, and suddenly felt a trance in his heart.

She came over at this moment, she didn't have anything to do, she just wanted to chat with Shen Yi, but she didn't expect that as soon as the topic opened, she would enter a heavy one.

Instinctively wanting to find a lighter topic, his eyes flowed, and he saw a pair of pants on the table next to Shen Yi, with needles and threads on them.

"What's wrong with these pants?" asked Gentle with some curiosity.

"Oh, the zipper of my pants is broken, and I re-sew a few buttons up it. ”

"You can also do needlework?"

"It's not very difficult. Shen Yi said with a smile.

Gentleness put the pants back: "It's better to just change it." ”

Shen Yi smiled but said nothing.

After thinking about it, he said softly: "It's late, go to bed early." ”

"No sleep. Shen Yi thought for a while and said, "You help me call Luo Hao over." ”

"What's the matter with him?"

"Tell him a little bit about the fighting. You know that sometimes the best way to keep a person from being afraid of battle is to let him win the battle and get the benefits. Shen Yi smiled: "If you can make the fat man play a role, it will be good for all of us." It's not just courage that he's lacking now......"

Gently nodded in agreement.

In the fat man's room, the little one was lying on the bed, apparently asleep.

Seeing Gentleness coming in, the fat man put his finger to his mouth and made a boo gesture.

Gently asked, "Have you coaxed him?"

"I was tired of crying, and I fell asleep by myself. The fat man smiled.

"You go to Shen Yi, he has something to do with you. ”

"Then ...... here," the fat man looked at the little guy with some hesitation.

"It's just a mutant kid who can fix cars, there won't be any problems, and he's already asleep. ”

The fat man left the room, gave Jerry a gentle look, and then left.

......

When he woke up in the morning, Shen Yi was brushing his teeth.

The door was kicked open with a thud.

Hong Lang came in with a big grin: "Congratulations, Shen Yi, you have been brushed down." ”

"What?" Shen Yi asked vaguely as he looked back with a mouth full of toothpaste foam.

"You're not number one anymore. Hong Lang grinned and opened the blood crest.

Twelve hours have passed, and there has already been a sea change in the leaderboard.

The new first place appeared at midnight yesterday and is the second place in the original North Zone, with a current kill value of 34 points. Second place is also in the North Zone, with 32 points. Shen Yi ranked third. As for Gentle Rou and the others, they suddenly dropped to more than twenty.

In terms of regional rankings, the North Division has also regained the first place, and the South Region is catching up, and the points of the Eastern Region are already close to the East Division.

"Looks like everyone was busy last night. Shen Yi wiped his face with a wet towel while tracing his mouth.

"This regional competition mission, it's probably our team that is so casual. I guess a lot of people didn't sleep last night. Hong Lang replied.

King Kong's words rang out at the door: "This reminds me of the story of the tortoise and hare race, what are we? Rabbits who fall asleep because of pride?"

"We're not necessarily rabbits, and those people aren't turtles. Gentleness also came over.

The fat man also appeared with a bitter face: "I'm fast on the erasure list again." ”

Early in the morning, everyone gathered in Shen Yi's room.

"It seems that I can't sit still. Shen Yi laughed.

Indeed, seeing that it was only one night's work, the other adventurers had already caught up, and who could sit still. Rushing to 198th Street early and getting rid of the mutants there is the only thought on everyone's mind right now.

Shen Yi threw the towel: "Since that's the case, then what are you waiting for?"

――――――――――――――――

A new day, a new competition, and no one dares to slack off.

The 23rd hour of the race mission.

A group of six people rushed out of the hotel with a roar, Shen Yi walked in front wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, followed by the same dressed gentleness, King Kong and Hong Lang, they looked like the Neo trio in the Black Empire, moving quickly and powerfully.

King Kong was the first to jump into the open-top Land Rover off-road vehicle that he had just gotten yesterday. For adventurers, this large-displacement, high-horsepower, boxy and punchy model is becoming their favorite.

Sitting in the driver's seat, King Kong smiled and said, "You kid is too crazy to drive, let me come, show me the way gently." ”

Gentle and skillful: "No matter who needs me?"

Shen Yi said: "Men always need women. ”

Everyone laughed together.

Land Rover Mercedes on the road to 198 Street, all the way to see the National Guard soldiers.

Yesterday's big commotion by adventurers made the already turbulent New York more and more chaotic, and even the news reports came out.

Americans would not have imagined that such a commotion would continue for three whole days.

Gentleness sat in the front row while pointing the way, and threw a few walkie-talkies: "This is what I bought yesterday when I went to the mall, with this, it is convenient for everyone to contact, and there is no need to summon soldiers through those summoning soldiers." Bloody City has a special walkie-talkie that can be used in any mission world, and if you can make more money this time, you can equip it when you go back. ”

Hong Lang was surprised and asked, "You still have the heart to go to the mall?"

Gentleness made a graceful gesture with her hands to lift her hair, and her posture was sultry: "It's just like you still have the heart to appreciate women, it's all nature." ”

In addition to the fat man and the child, the three men in the car laughed at the same time.

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

It's Frost.

"Frost, what's the matter?"

"On your orders, sir, we are assembling on 198th Street. During the build-up, one of our soldiers spotted a signal on the road that you asked us to pay attention to. ”

Shen Yi said: "You mean a distress signal?"

A distress signal is a contact form agreed upon by Eastside adventurers before leaving. According to the agreement between them, although the adventurers in the Eastern District are scattered, they still have to take care of each other, and if someone encounters danger and trouble, they will use the distress signal to ask other adventurers for support. When Shen Yi gave the task instructions to the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion, he also asked them to pay attention to these signals.

What Shen Yi didn't expect was that just 24 hours after the competition, there were already adventurers who sent an emergency call for help.

"Yes, sir. On the other end of the intercom, Frost's voice was still steady and calm.

"Where exactly?"

"Around Fifth Avenue. ”

There was no need for Shen Yi to explain, and the others also heard Frost's words.

The adventurers of the East Side are in great danger and send out a distress signal, which shocks everyone's hearts.

Wen Wen hurriedly asked, "Do you want to help?"

Hong Lang said: "Maybe there are other adventurers who saw the signal and went to help? I think we should take care of ourselves first." ”

King Kong immediately objected: "Don't always expect others, New York is too big, and it's still a question of whether other adventurers can see it." ”

"But who knows if it's too late? A battle doesn't take too long. Hong Lang's rebuttal is also reasonable.

"It doesn't affect anything to go and see, anyway, it's too late for us to come back and deal with the mutants. Shen Yi said.

Just then, Frost's voice came over the intercom again: "Sir, there seems to be something going on on 198th Street, and our people have noticed that some mutants seem to be preparing to leave Isber Church. ”

"Hell, how can this be!" Hong Lang punched the car, and he yelled at Shen Yi: "What now?"

Shen Yi's face also changed.

Suddenly, the mutants on 198 Street suddenly begin to move, while the adventurers in the district are in danger.

Hong Lang shouted, "I can't care so much, let's rush to the street immediately and intercept those mutants." It should be too late!"

"What about the other companions?

"It's too late to take care of yourself, how can you have the kung fu to care about others?" Hong Lang said.

King Kong reminded: "You'd better not forget that this is a regional competition, if no one saves them and causes too many of our people to die, in case they fall to the last place in the region, they will be wiped out by all of them." ”

A murderous aura flashed in Hong Lang's eyes: "Then let's kill more mutants to make up for the shortcomings, and if we can't do it, we will kill some adventurers in other districts." Haven't we already killed one of the North Side?"

Shen Yi interrupted Hong Lang: "Do you think that the other party is all domestic animals, waiting for you to kill?! No one is easy to deal with! Believe it or not, if you are shouting to kill Luo Hao now, he will dare to fight with you!"

The fat man nodded earnestly.

Shen Yi patted Hong Lang: "No matter what, they are all Chinese, and everyone should watch and help each other." Don't forget why the East End is the strongest in the Bloody City, not because we are strong personally, but because we are united! As long as the conditions allow, we try to help, for others and for ourselves. ”

Hong Lang opened his mouth, and after a long time, he said, "Then just let those mutants go? That is the only mutant assembly point we know now." ”

Shen Yi replied: "I'll talk about this later, gentle, check the location of Fifth Avenue first." ”

"You don't need to check it to know that the most famous street in the world is also the most fashionable place for women. Battles took place there...... It's like a shootout in a museum, burning the harp and cooking the cranes has a cruel beauty. ”

Gently speaking, he clicked on the map, found the Fifth Avenue and enlarged it in front of Shen Yi's eyes.

Shen Yi carefully looked at the map to find a way to get there. After looking at it for a while, Shen Yi raised his head and said, "It's not close, when we come back from Fifth Avenue, the mutants on 198 Street will have long since disappeared." However, it is not clear which team is in danger and what kind of danger it is encountering. What Hong Lang said is not entirely unreasonable. We have to save people, but we can't help but do our own things. Saving others is a good thing, so let's spare oneself. I see this, you go to 198th Avenue to chase the mutants, and I go to Fifth Avenue alone. ”

"Are you crazy? Do you want to deal with a group of people alone?" Hong Lang grabbed Shen Yi by the collar and shouted. Although this person is rude, petty, selfish, and even a little cruel, and has a lot of problems all over his body, he has at least one benefit, that is, he is absolutely righteous towards his friends.

There are not many people who are included in his circle of friends, but Shen Yi is one.

He absolutely couldn't accept Shen Yi going on an adventure alone.

"I didn't say that I had to go into danger alone, this time it's to save people, not to kill people, the situation is different. I'm going to go and see what's going on there, and then I'm going to make a decision. Maybe you don't have to use force to solve the problem?"

Hong Lang sneered: "This is a bloody city, not a orator's podium, your mind can only be used to assist, not to settle the situation in one fell swoop!"

"If I can't do it, I'm not going to do it. As I said, I save others, but I don't give up myself. Shen Yi said lightly.

This reassures everyone.

"What about the kill value?" asked King Kong.

"Just leave some for the paratroopers to kill, they were summoned by me, and they killed them as mine. ”

"Well, I think that's all I can do. King Kong nodded.

"Are you sure this will work, in case you are discovered......" Gentle was a little worried.

"Give me the rest of your blood, and I can run away if I can't beat it. ”

The crowd immediately understood what he meant.

Because of their gentleness, each of them left hundreds of bloody points before entering the mission world, and they were handed over to Shen Yi at this moment.

Thinking that Shen Yi wanted to go over alone, Wen Rou was a little uneasy. Looking at Shen Yi with a pair of wonderful eyes, Shen Yi smiled and lit up the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Contact me at any time if you have something, rest assured that I won't hold it up." ”

"We're here to try to get the job done as quickly as possible, and remember, when we're not here, you'd better not be a hero. If you can, try to delay as much time as possible. King Kong said loudly.

"Rest assured. ”

"We're at a fork in the road. Gentle exclaimed.

"We'll see you later. Shen Yi opened the car door, jumped out of the Land Rover, and rolled on the spot, offsetting the inertia brought by the rapid speed.

Casually making a stop in the middle of the road, a black Mercedes was forced to stop. The owner of the car poked his head out and yelled at Shen Yi: "Bastard!

Shen Yi strode over: "It's just a hitchhiker, can you take me to Fifth Avenue?"

"We're not going the same way!" said the owner impatiently.

"You're going to change your mind. Shen Yi is full of confidence.

The muzzle of the spirit musket was aimed at the owner's head.
