Hell's Kitchen·The Blue Line.
The blue line consists of three lines, A, C, and E. These three lines stop at subway stations along 8th Avenue, providing convenient subway services to the eastern boundary of Hell's Kitchen, located in the southeast corner of Hell's Kitchen.
In particular, the 42nd Street-Porter Authority Transportation Terminal is a complex intersection located in the center of the city. It is a key node for Hell’s Kitchen to connect with the outside world. It is also a place full of contrasts and conflicts. Many people carrying large bags
Small groups of foreigners commute to and from the 42nd Street Station.
The first ray of sunshine in the morning has not completely dispelled the darkness of night, but the transportation hub has already begun to be busy for the day.
Subways, buses, and hurried pedestrians create a busy scene.
Between the flashing neon lights, you can see individuals of different races - humans, goblins, kobolds, and other alien races.
They either hurriedly shuttled through the crowd, or waited cautiously at the edge of the platform. Everyone had their own destination, and there were different stories behind each destination.
The air on 42nd Street is filled with a mixture of smells.
The moisture from the ground, the exhaust from passing vehicles, the aroma of food from fast food restaurants, and the unique smells of different races.
These smells intertwined in the air, forming Hell's Kitchen's unique scent imprint.
The figure of Operator Rich Robert the Mole stands out in such an environment.
He was wearing the black uniform of the Authority, with the external pedigree [Adam] on his shoulders flashing constantly. His hands were flat on the bulletproof vest on his chest, and two 'Authority-404 Micro Bolts' were hung below the vest.
gun'.
On his retina, every passing pedestrian and alien was given a green [normal] mark.
The mole's eyes quickly scanned every pedestrian on the street.
In the bustling crowd, whether they were humans or aliens, when they saw Operator Mole wearing the uniform of the Authority, their eyes showed a trace of fear and disgust.
They avoided the mole as much as possible, fearing that the "watchdogs" of Heaven would find an opportunity to empty their bolters. This behavior formed invisible ripples in the crowd.
Mole has become accustomed to this. He feels that he is quite lucky today and did not encounter "yellow code" and "red code" just after opening.
Encountering a "yellow code" means that 80% of these people have problems.
When encountering a "red code", don't hesitate to draw your gun and shoot.
This is the intelligence that Mole summarized after working as a grassroots patrol officer in the traffic department of the Administration for two months. [Adam]’s intelligence integration ability and crime assessment are so reliable that the mental work of grassroots officers is almost
zero.
However, Mole has heard that the newly established Municipal Affairs Bureau of the Planning Bureau plans to bypass some of [Adam's] control over the Bureau and set up a secretariat to re-adjust the Planning Bureau's control over grassroots officials.
If the Management Bureau is compared to his father's Kingdom of Heaven, then the Municipal Affairs Bureau is the resolution assembly, Adam is Eden, and the Secretariat is the buffer zone for upper and lower power.
Just as Mole was looking at the crowds of people walking back and forth at 42nd Street Station, the device on his chest suddenly flashed several times quickly, and then a voice was transmitted to his mind through the peripheral lineage.
"The Department of Municipal Transportation and Communications calls 42-Porter Authority Transportation Terminal. The Department of Municipal Transportation and Communications calls 42-Porter Authority Transportation Terminal. Please answer, pfft~"
Mole's spirituality poured into the peripheral lineage and answered:
"This is Mole, the operator of 42-Porter's authoritative transportation hub. Got it, please speak, pfft~"
"Mole, we have received reports of rear-end disputes involving unauthorized hover vehicles and two-legged arachnids at the west entrance of the transportation terminal. Please go to check and deal with it immediately. Ensure that traffic is flowing smoothly."
"Received, Municipal Transportation Department. I am heading to the west entrance to check the dispute. It will be handled in accordance with regulations and ensure smooth traffic."
"Understood, Mole. Please report the situation in time after completing the task. The Municipal Transportation Department is over."
"Understood, I will report back immediately after the mission is completed. 42-Porter's authoritative transportation terminal operator Mole ends."
After Mole ended his call with the transportation headquarters, he quickly walked toward the west entrance of the 42nd Street Station.
The side entrance was originally a normally functioning station in Hell's Kitchen, but with the impact of the fall of the New World, it became the intersection of interfaces for multiple otherworldly areas.
In order to maintain normal traffic and order in Hell's Kitchen, New Alliance cooperated with [Monster Power Company] to install multiple alien portal devices in this area. These devices ensured the flow of traffic at the west entrance to a certain extent.
However, the situation changed when management of Hell's Kitchen was transferred to the Authority.
[Monster Power Company], considering the angelic forces behind the administration, chose to divest and withdraw from Hell's Kitchen, which resulted in the alien portal at the west entrance losing professional maintenance support.
Without the daily maintenance of the power company staff, problems began to arise in the operation of these alien portals. Errors and delays in opening the portals often occurred, causing frequent traffic disputes and safety hazards in the west entrance area.
**********
42nd Street-West entrance.
After arriving at the scene, Mole was immediately attracted by the chaotic scene in front of him.
In the crowded traffic channel of 42nd Street in Hell's Kitchen, an unusual scene caught his eye: a bipedal dragon with a golden collar around its neck was standing in it, and its powerful and mighty feet accidentally stepped out.
The damaged hover car was making sparks and sparks, and it seemed that it might lose control completely at any time.
Riding on the back of this bipedal dragon is a human who has undergone illegal prosthetic transformation.
His arms were replaced with metal prostheses, a transformation that added a cold and unruly temperament to his appearance.
He had earrings and nose studs on his face, and these decorations were even more dazzling under his contemptuous and provocative expression.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The knight looked down at the car owner lying on the ground. The unfortunate car owner covered his head, blood seeping from between his fingers, and he was obviously seriously injured.
There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was enjoying the other person's helplessness and pain.
The knight made a mocking gesture towards the people on the ground. He was arrogant, as if the two-legged dragon he was riding gave him power over ordinary people.
"You stinky bastard, how dare you show off in front of me while driving a stupid federally manufactured suspension vehicle. Damn, let me tell you, this is Hell's Kitchen, not someone like you who drives a domestically produced car*
*** can come in."
Lying on the ground, covering his bleeding head with one hand, the car owner looked at the knight above him who gave him the middle finger, and couldn't help but feel angry.
"MD, I just bought a new car!"
The car owner tried to struggle to get up, but he was a little weak due to excessive blood loss. Not long after he stood up, he staggered and fell to the ground, causing the bipedal dragon knight to laugh even more mockingly.
At this moment, when the mole who arrived at the scene focused on the bipedal dragon, [Adam] popped up the monster illustration table at the right time.
【Draconia·Dragonborn】
[Boundary - The dragon species owned by the Draconian national power, the Draconian Empire. After the opening of the new world, this country was forcibly colonized by the financial forces headed by the Edici Federation. The two-legged dragons in its territory have been colonized by the Edici Federation.
The merchants of Dixi used [Forbidden Technique] and capsule technology to enslave them, and the enslaved alien beasts became new products of financial transactions.
At present, with Edici (New World), the border areas, and various realms (including many external forces including the Golden Court) have formed a stable triangular trade.
From the junction → Edici Federation (financial slave trade)
From the Edici Federation → All Realms: Alcohol, arms, high-tech products, industrial products and other high-precision items.
From all realms → Edici Federation: precious metals, ores, divine items, extraordinary products, ivy modifiers...]
"Sure enough, it's this kind of black market [capsule beast/elf] smuggled in through the triangular trade without a license plate."
The mole simply glanced at the neck of the Draconia Bipedal Dragon, which did not have any certification plate from the Mayflower Foundation, one of the three giants of the New Alliance, and knew that the riding capsule beast in front of him was a black market product.
goods.
Those rampant black market traders always hope to bypass the world tax of the border → Edici Federation and exploit the loopholes of the [Financial Street].
"And depending on the situation, the guy who modified the prosthetic body above used poisonous metal." Mole looked at the metal prosthetic limbs on the crazy Draconian knight with a professional look.
"It's lead." He quickly concluded the cause of the cyber disease in the Bipedal Dragon Knight.
Lead poisoning is a common cyberpsychosis induced by toxic metals currently on the market.
Mild lead poisoning can cause difficulty concentrating, memory loss, fatigue and depression, while severe lead poisoning can cause mental decline, behavioral problems, insanity and even violent behavior.
Regular prosthetic modifications will not incorporate large amounts of toxic metals.
But I'm sorry, this is the Edici Federation, this is the New World, and this is Hell's Kitchen.
Therefore, abnormality and unscrupulousness are the norm.
Looking at the cyberpsychotic patient who was obviously suffering from severe lead poisoning, Mole knew that if this situation was not controlled immediately, it would likely escalate into a more serious violent incident.
He quickly assessed his surroundings to make sure there were no other potential threats, then decisively drew his bolter and fired a warning shot into the air.
bump--
The loud sound of bolters echoed in the narrow passage, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Okay, now I need everyone to calm down!"
The Mole's voice was firm and powerful, full of unquestionable authority.
"Sir," he turned to the human who had undergone illegal prosthetic transformation, "please get off the bipedal dragon and stay away from the car."
The bipedal dragon knight who was severely lead-poisoned became particularly unruly under the Mole's stern warning.
His groggy mind did not make him shrink back, but instead inspired him to show contempt and provocation towards the management personnel.
His eyes were blurred, and his tone was full of sarcasm and disdain, as if he was mocking the seriousness and authority of everything in front of him. "Who do you think you are? You think you are an angel from heaven after wearing the uniform of the Administration? No, you just
They are just watchdogs of heaven! Watchdogs, do you know?"
His words were sharp and provocative.
"Hey, watchdog, let me bark to make you happy."
