Chapter 1 The City Without Owners
iChapter 1 The Borderless City
October 2101, Star County, Atlantic City.i
It was night, the moon was as bright as frost, but there were no lights in the city.
This city, known for its gambling and tourism industries, should have been one of the most beautiful night view on the east coast of Xingjun, but now it is like a ghost town. If you look at the sea from the shore, you can only see a hazy black shadow.
A black shadow was moving forward rapidly in the street. Judging from its speed alone, it had clearly surpassed the running ability of normal humans.
Some of the guerrillas lying in the streets and alleys also found the figure, but before they could lift their guns, the other party quickly left their sight and turned into the corner of the next street.
The black shadow seemed to be escaping from something, walking around the streets and alleys, and did not dare to slow down at all. He ran for about ten minutes while maintaining this high speed. Just as he slowed down a little and tried to check whether he could get rid of the pursuers, a substantial lightning hit him. The black shadow was shocked when he saw this and jumped high.
But when the road was shattered by lightning, there was a man standing at this moment. He was wearing a bright yellow tight sportswear, with a black line on the trousers and the side of the clothes. He had black hair, the length of the hair behind him was left to the base of his neck, and his sideburns were also very long. Seeing this, everyone probably guessed that, yes, this person was still wearing a nunchakus...
"Run? Run again! Can you run better than me?" Lei Huo imitated Bruce Lee's outfit in the game of death and shouted to the black shadow without hesitation.
The black shadow knew that he was entangled by this opponent and might not be able to take it off, so he simply gave up the idea of running away and took two steps forward. Under the moonlight, a figure wearing a black cloak, black clothes, black trousers, black boots, and black gloves appeared, completely wrapping his skin and wearing a mirror mask.
"A reckless person who does things without thinking." Jingface replied in his hoarse voice: "Do you know how dangerous this city is now? If you want to die, go farther and shout, don't involve me."
"Stop talking nonsense, hand over the things, don't force me to do it!" Lei Huo shouted.
They had just said a few words, and there were pursuers who felt that a white man in his thirties walked out from the corner behind Lei Huo. He was wearing a suit, sunglasses and black gloves, and a stern face. His chin looked rough and firm.
Jingfang knew this person. When the consultant and Dark Water invaded the frontline stronghold in Washington, Jingfang was almost killed by Dark Water. At that time, the man with sunglasses arrived in time to save Jingfang.
"I advise you to do what he said." He said to the mirror: "Faced with a bad temper, fierce ability, you have no choice at all."
"Dixter..." replied Mirror face: "So... Leihuo is your new partner, ha... haha..." His hoarse laughter sounded like he was choking on the sand: "It seems that the city is getting more and more lively." He took something out of his cloak and held it in his hand and raised it: "Do you want this?"
The blue light shining in his hands was like a fragment of the eternal core.
"Leave it to us, and then everyone goes their own way, no one will be hurt." Dixter said: "Zi lure the front line to stop pursuing your previous behavior."
"What behavior? Kill a few of you miscellaneous people? Destroy a few strongholds? Hum..." Jingfang replied with a sneer: "Didn't you choose to stand against me first? I would have worked with you before to deal with the counter-cross, but you compromised with them when you were threatened! What a group of hypocritical collectivists and cowards."
"You can say that we are the most profitable, which is not something to be ashamed of. If you don't have enough chips, why should we choose to give up our own interests and stand on your side to satisfy your personal revenge?" Dixter said.
"You're right." Mirror face put away the fragments again, and it seemed that he was not going to hand over the things: "So, you should also understand that since you can't give me any benefits, how could I hand over the fragments I've gotten to you?"
"After talking so much, you have to rely on force to grab it!" Lei Huo moved his neck twice, "You are really stubborn. You may not be able to deal with Dixter alone. Do you still want to be one-on-two?"
Lei Huo didn't take the mirror face seriously at all. Since he escaped from Hell Island and joined the zi lure front line, he has almost never met an opponent who can make him serious when he went out of the mission. Although the guy wearing a mirror mask in front of him was hiding under a special material clothing and his energy status was unknown, according to Dixter's description, his ability level will definitely not exceed the strong level. Besides, if this guy is very capable, why did he run around the street by being chased by him just now?
The mirror face didn't even take out the short sword, with empty hands, and said in a hoarse voice without fear: "I didn't want to fight with the fierce ability, but since I can't get rid of you..."
…………
In another part of the city, a man with short hair combed in the sky was squatting on the roof of a six-story building, with a cigar in his mouth.
He looked less than forty, his face looked a little fierce, his face was unshaven, and he was wearing dark clothes and a pair of military boots. He was obviously much lower-key than Lei Huo's outfit.
"Oh... it's so amazing. It's all here." Feng Feng took out the cigar from his mouth and whispered.
The gambling snake took a step forward and its figure was already parallel to Fengyuan: "The other two will arrive soon."
"I know, when Xue Xiao and Zuo Dao were still on the street, I noticed that only you, elusive, I don't know how you came from." Feng Feng was talking when the iron gate at the entrance of the rooftop was smashed to the ground with a punch.
"The lock seems to be rusted and not very flexible." Xue Xiao was still wearing a vest in late autumn, and his lower body was filled with camouflage military pants.
Zuo Dao followed him to the rooftop: "I was about to say that this door was opened inward..."
"Are you three here?" Feng Feng sniffed another cigar and asked after they approached.
"Yes, everyone else has tasks, and there are only two consultants and warlocks left in the headquarters. The boss took Yue Yao to contact Xing Tian's people." Zuo Dao replied.
"Are you acting together again? I said... Is the boss really with her..." Fenghuang said.
"Who knows, how can we ordinary people guess what the boss and Gu Li have? " Zuo Dao joked.
While they were chatting, the gambling snake was observing the situation around him. He looked at a seagull staying on the railing not far away and said to Fenghuo: "Who is Wei Sheng's eyes and ears?"
"That's right." Feng Feng replied: "I really envy him. He can be a spy without leaving home. It's not like me, it goes from the wind to the rain, water to the fire..."
At this time, Xue Xiao walked to him, and without saying hello, he reached out and took out a cigar from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and said, "Borrow a fire."
"You're really not here?" Feng Feng said, snapping his fingers, and the cigar in Xue Xiao's mouth lit it on its own.
"How do you know I'm putting the smoke here?" Feng Feng said.
"By smelling." Xue Xiao replied, dusting the ashes: "Speaking of it... I really want to smell a lot of interesting prey, and I'm a little excited." He laughed, "Tell me about the current situation in the city."
Fengsheng took out a tablet computer, clicked a few times, and expanded a map in the screen: "This is what I've painted by hand, just look at it."
"Is your art teacher drunk?" Xue Xiao glanced at him and said.
"Okay! That's it. The skill of creating scoundrels has improved!" Zuo Dao praised.
Unexpectedly, Xue Xiao turned around and looked at him and said, "This sentence is not a joke."
Jingzuo...the silence like dead silent, time seemed to have stopped for a few seconds...
Fenghuang cleared his throat: "Okay, let me answer you now. More than ten years ago, during my sentence, of course, I never went to Tide Prison, but during my sentence in a general prison, the prisoner in the same cell as me was a down-and-out painter. I heard from the prison spirit that this guy couldn't afford to buy wine, so he drank paint thinner, and finally burned his brain and other things... But I think the many graffiti he painted on the wall with dung were not much different from the so-called famous masters in contemporary Europe, and his paintings were impressive just by smell."
"Man... I don't want to hear similar stories in my lifetime. Can you say hello before you say such things in the future? Let me be mentally prepared." Zuo Dao said.
"Oh, do you feel a little disgusting, right?" Feng Feng sniffed another cigar: "Then you should listen to the story of the prison spirit asking me to wipe the walls clean. You can call it a 'sequel' and an easter egg. Do you know what it is? Yes, the painter guy uses more than his own shit. Sometimes I haven't had time to flush out the toilet..."
"You can stop at the right time." The gambling snake stopped the three of them from continuing to talk nonsense. He pointed to the map and looked at Feng Yan: "Map, situation."
Feng Yan shrugged, pointed to the map, and began to explain: "There are at least five forces in the city at present. First of all, the local army in the Empire here and a group of defeated soldiers formed by L. Their team has been broken up. There are only three or five people everywhere in the city, and there are as many as forty people. The total number is difficult to estimate. They are occasionally connected to each other, but it is dangerous to lure them in the city, and they cannot gather together.
The second group of people is the troops on the front line. They are all occupied by the coastal line on the east coast of the city. There are several very powerful players among them. It is difficult for any other force to break through this line of defense. However, on the other hand, this group of people is fighting against the enemy. Once defeated, they will fall into a situation where they cannot retreat and have to jump into the sea.
The third force is civilians, and their number is very small. They all hide in the largest shopping mall in the city. All those who stay outside die. They blocked all the entrances of the shopping mall and found some men with hunting rifles and all the rags that could be used as weapons to guard the rooftop.
The fourth group of people was guerrillas, which were counted as rebel forces, and a group of dangerous people, and the number might be equal to the remnants of the empire. They were the initiators of this incident. Of course, they did not intentionally, and those who would deliberately cause such a situation may only be the two big men in this world. This group of people were also scattered in various parts of the city, and they were already scared by what they did. Now, Ji was in a semi-crazy state when he saw people.
As for the fifth group of forces, that is, the survivors of Evin, ironically, most of the people who died were killed by monsters running out of their institute. Haha... Who would have thought that the secret agency of the empire was discovered by a group of civil guerrillas, and the current disaster occurred in chaos...
In addition, at this moment, the sixth force in the city should be considered to have appeared, that is, we have... well... one, two, three, four... four people and a bird."
Then, Fenghua pointed out several locations on the map, "This is the area with the most concentrated number of emperors. This circle is their base. Needless to say, the line is all about luring people on the front line. There are more guerrillas here and here. Finally, this place is a shopping center." He threw away the cigar that was almost finished: "No need to mention outside the city, the army on the front line was completely blocked, and even a bird could not fly out."
The crow on the other side of the railing called out twice at this time.
Feng Feng looked back at it, "I think Wei Sheng wanted to emphasize that he really couldn't even fly out of a 'bird'."
"I think I understand the strength of the blockade." The gambling snake responded.
Fenghuang continued: "There is another thing worth mentioning. Regarding the issue of supply, the city has been paralyzed for more than 72 hours. In addition to the civilians in the shopping center, they should be able to survive. People outside can only find ways to find things in buildings and be self-sufficient. But I don't recommend that we do this too. As far as I know, pollution has begun to spread from the underground research institute, and the speed is amazing, so the water source in the city may not be clean at this moment. Let's not talk about drinking, you'd better not touch it. And electricity, there are some, after all, those monsters have average IQ and are not smart enough to attack power plants or something. However, a fool on the front line is so stupid that he collapsed the power supply of the whole city during the battle."
The Gambling Snake was silent for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Our goal is to find 'that person' in the city. If he is not dead, he may be with the civilians in the shopping mall, or be regarded as civilians and empires. He is a capable person, and he will most likely use a false identity and will be hard to find him out with his heart from the perspective of others. But the current situation in the city is very dangerous. Even if he is a paper-level capable person, he may die at any time. We have to control the situation first and ensure that he will not be killed before we find him."
Zuo Dao's brains were also very quick. He probably knew what the gambling snake was making, so he quickly said, "Hey hey! You don't want us to solve the problems of pollution and monsters?"
"It is not necessary to do this, but the first step is that we have to catch an evin person first, get more information about the pollution from him, and then consider whether to solve the pollution."
Left nodded: "Oh, that is to say, if this kind of pollution is still done, we will solve the problem and then slowly find someone. If it is difficult, we will try to find that person in a short time and then escape, and let them do what they want to do if the remaining mess."
Unexpectedly, the snake gambling answered: "It's the opposite."
"Ah?" Zuo Dao was stunned when he heard this.
The gambling snake said: "If the pollution is not a big problem, we can feel at ease to find someone, but if the pollution is extremely dangerous, we will do our best to solve this problem."
"What are you doing? Learn from Lei Feng to do good things? Serve the people?! Do you know the consequences of doing this? You have to respect yourself, brother!" Zuo Dao became excited.
Xue Xiao was very calm, worthy of being a qualified perverted scientist, and his perspective on the problem was indeed different. He snorted disdainfully and said to Zuo Dao: "Are you stupid? If the pollution situation is very serious and may threaten the safety of all mankind, of course, you have to kill it in the cradle now, and you have to stand aside any other plan. And judging from the situation in this city, only we have the ability to do it at present."
It was right after thinking about it. If this pollution accident would lead to a global disaster, then human beings should stand on the united front. If this is not the case, then we should continue to fight. Then he realized that he was actually despised by this seemingly rough fighter. It turns out that he was terrible to be educated.
Feng Feng said: "Then, let's try to catch someone as follows: "
Before he could finish his words, a few kilometers away from them, a huge column of light rose from the ground in the city and rushed into the sky, even the clouds in the sky were washed away.
"What are you doing? Long Pozhan, is this?" Zuo Dao stared at him. He had already started to regret it at this moment. Yan Kong said that he was using this field mission to test his strongest strength and the power of the Divine Sword in actual combat. At that time, he felt it was unreliable. This old man, he slipped into the toy dome of the Arctic Ocean with the Marshal and Doctor Shi, and let the cheap apprentice come out to play with people, which is not kind.
"Hmph... It's interesting, I have to go and have a look." After saying this, Xue Xiao threw away the cigar in his hand, stepped on it, and jumped up, unable to stop him.
The expression of the snake gambling remained unchanged, calm as usual: "Oh... I didn't expect him to follow the team spirit." He turned around, his eyes suddenly became sharp and cold-blooded.
He looked at the railing at the far end of the rooftop and said to the two people beside him in a tone: "Is there something going to crawl, it's very soon, very quiet..." He paused: "And it's not a human."
