Zhang Lisheng, who had just returned to Earth after completing half of the journey of conquest of the Otherworldly Realm, naturally had no way of knowing what New York had become after Lu Dao left for more than a year.

After a moment's pause, he guessed based on what he knew: "Oh, it's not good, the streets are full of patrolling policemen and soldiers, well, of course, refugees from other cities, prices are very expensive, in short, everything is bad." ”

"Hah, it's pretty much the same as Boston. Bob sighed and whispered in a completely different attitude from the heartless appearance just now, and said no more.

The car sped forward in silence, and soon the skyscrapers in the distance were close in front of me.

When the car turned another corner and drove into New York City, Zhang Lisheng stretched out his head to look, but was surprised to find that the road in front of him was blocked by a torrent of steel for hundreds of meters.

"What a hell of a life, the road into the city is obviously empty, how can there be so many traffic jams here. The young man blurted out in astonishment, his voice landed, and the black girl next to him, who had not said a word, frowned irritably and said: "Are you an idiot, this is the traffic that is pouring in during the day, and it has not completely passed the inspection yet."

Damn, it looks like all the people in the small towns around New York are running out, and it must be worse. ”

"Jenny, calm down dear, things are not as bad as you think, even if the small town can't hold on, the metropolis is still very safe, and besides, the Federation has the 'Noah's Realm', isn't it..."The black girl's left-hand companion held her palm and whispered comfort.

"Noah's realm, ha. You don't know how popular a ticket to Noah is right now, even if we were willing to go to Manhattan 24 hours a day to pick up passengers, we wouldn't be able to make enough money for the ticket..."The black girl said in frustration.

"Hey, Jenny, your boyfriend was in the front seat of the car and suddenly said he was going to Manhattan to pick up customers, did you think about my feelings? Bob resumed his noisy tone and interjected disgruntled in the passenger seat, in exchange for a rare smile from his girlfriend and a kick on the backrest, "Shut up Bob." You idiot. ”

In the midst of laughter and scolding. The car slowly lined up at the end of the traffic, moving forward little by little, and seeing that the atmosphere in the carriage was a little lively, Zhang Lisheng took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Bob." What is the situation in Boston?"

"It's about the same as New York. The streets were filled with police, GIs, and people fleeing. Burgers are more expensive than gold nuggets, and the guys who used to rob the bank are now committing crimes at McDonald's. ”

"You said that the Tuhuan people's forces have been defeated, will things get better in the future?" the young man said.

"Maybe. However, since the Tuhuan people have locked the coordinates of Boston, even if the environment improves, who knows what will happen to Langdao in the future, so we will come to New York. ”

"Is the Internet still smooth in Boston?" Zhang Lisheng thought for a while, and asked tentatively, as soon as his words came out, Jenny next to him asked in surprise: "Internet, God, is there still a network signal in New York, how is this possible?"

The young man immediately realized that he had asked the wrong question, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, New York has become a 'cyber island', and I thought that Boston was a university city, and the situation could be better." ”

"Since the gods of the 'Sea Shrimp No. 1 World Realm' joined forces to destroy all our satellites, the new satellites have only been used by the military and emergency contact, and all the cities on the planet have actually become 'isolated islands', not to mention New York. Davin, who had been driving silently for a long time, suddenly said in a low voice.

Zhang Lisheng, who had a brief confrontation with the Lord of Truth of the 'Sea Shrimp No. 1 World Realm' and almost lost his life, changed his face greatly after hearing that the gods of the other world had jointly invaded the earth, and he no longer cared about revealing flaws and asked: "Mr. Dawen, do you know that the gods of the 'Sea Shrimp No. 1 World Realm' attacked the Earth's satellite?"

"The specifics of this matter are not clear to ordinary people, but we do have some inside information.

The attack came very suddenly, and it was said that some of the satellites happened to be in dense areas, and the whole sky was shining with colorful fire..."Bob replied triumphantly, and it took a while to report the Thunder Tyrant Somer, the Dawn Elder Saboniel, and the Ash Faith Flofit... and so on for the names of a dozen gods, but there is no Lord of Sorting in them.

By this time the car had moved to the entrance of the checkpoint, and a dozen mentally exhausted, heavily armed GIs and Atlanteans looked into the car routinely, and the first lieutenant said, "Okay boys, pretty girls, take out your papers." ”

Davin seemed to be accustomed to this kind of identity check, and took out several passports and driver's licenses that had been folded long ago from the storage box and handed them over.

When Zhang Lisheng in the back row saw it, he hurriedly leaned up and planned to make up a reason to explain that he didn't have his documents with him during such a special period, but he saw that the officer casually flipped through the passport in his hand and returned it, and tilted his head towards the subordinates beside him, and there were four or five soldiers with canvas bags behind their backs, holding a probe with a flashing green light in their hands and sweeping around the car.

After a few successive beeps, seeing that all the probes were still glowing green, the lieutenant nodded and said, "You can go in, young man, and I wish you a happy stay in this hollow 'Big Apple'." ”

"Thank you, sir. Daven sneered and started the car and drove towards the city.

Zhang Lisheng unconsciously looked at the checkpoint that was getting farther and farther through the rear windshield, and found that the sergeants were erecting barricades, obviously having finished their day's work, and they were secretly feeling that they were lucky, when suddenly a deep voice came from behind him, "Good luck, man, if you are found to have no documents, it will be very troublesome." ”

"So it's disgusting to say that those friends who left me in the suburbs. Hearing that Daven saw his flaws, the young man turned around and replied casually.

After a while, the car finally drove into New York City, and Zhang Lisheng looked out through the car window to see a long line of cars parked on the side of the garbage-strewn street, and many burning iron drums burning on the sidewalk next to the car.

Around these steaming iron barrels, some people leaned against the outer walls of the buildings, wrapped in dirty clothes and slept soundly, and some people held wine bottles while chatting while standing on the fire.

"What the hell, the whole of New York has become a big slum..."The young man muttered to himself in a stunned voice, when he heard Darven suddenly ask, "Man, where are you going?"

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that he was now penniless and had no credit card, his mother had already left New York, and his relationship with his girlfriend had changed.

After a few seconds, the name 'Maddie' flashed in his mind, and he smiled wryly and said, "Oh, if you know the address of Maddy, can you take me to Jasmine West Street, Mr. Darveon." Of course, this is just to try their luck, according to the current situation, eighty percent of Maddie's family has also moved to the Noahic realm.

"I also grew up near Chinatown in New York, and of course I know the location of Jasmine West Street, but it's too dangerous to go there late at night, and as far as I know, several neighborhoods around Jasmine West Street have become the battlefield of the 'cult'..."

New York City has a large number of new immigrants and communities of color, which have been ignored by the police in peacetime and have become a place where gangs run rampant, and now it will naturally become more chaotic.

With the help of street lamps, catching a fleeting look of surprise on the young man's face in the rearview mirror, Daven was silent for a moment and continued: "You didn't live on Jasmine West Street before, did you?"

"Oh, I just have friends living there, well, the place I rented before has been refunded," Zhang Lisheng shrugged and said, "But it's okay, I can take care of myself and leave me on the side of the road." ”

"At times like these, you have to sleep on the streets without documents, and you may freeze to death in the night when it snows heavily. Unexpectedly, hearing this, Jenny, who was sitting in the back row, said kindly: "Dawen, can we help him?"

"Help him, give him an extra down jacket and a new 'cigarette tube' when he gets out of the car," said Bob in the passenger seat, pouting: "Jenny, we are not those broad philanthropists who eat French dinner in a luxurious restaurant while breaking bread and throwing it out the window to feed the poor;

It's not the priests and nuns who get dazed by singing hymns and eating communion every day, and it's enough to give him a ride. ”

"But maybe he'll be our new 'brother', don't we, and don't forget that we're not the same as before. Jenny insisted on her opinion with an inexplicable remark.

Hearing his girlfriend's words, Bob's face changed, and he couldn't argue with it, and opened his mouth and said helplessly: "Don't fight for the baby, vote according to the previous practice, in short, I don't agree to make extraneous branches at this time." ”

"I think if I help people, I should help them to the end. Jenny then said, "What do you say, Rebery?"

"I listen to Davin. ”

"I know you're going to say that, my dear, and sometimes you have to say what you think. Jenny was a little dissatisfied with her friend's unassertive statement, patted the back of the driver's seat, pointed to the black-haired young man on the side and said, "Daven, you represent two votes alone, decide, should we throw this poor man out of the car on this cold winter night, or continue to help him?"

Before Daven could answer, Zhang Lisheng had already pursed his lips and preemptively said: "Oh, Miss Jenny, I may not be as miserable as you think, although I lost my documents, but I am Chinese, I have a good brain and a good kung fu, and I can live well in a bad environment."
