Chapter 19 Call for Help
Fourteenth hour, ten o'clock in the evening.
In the night sky of New York, the stars are shining all over the sky, like countless diamonds on the black tapestry, shining brilliantly.
Shen Yi sat on the balcony and looked up at the sky, motionless for a long time.
The door of the room was pushed open without a sound, and a figure came in lightly.
Stepping on silent steps, she approached Shen Yi step by step...
Shen Yi suddenly said: "It is said that women belong to cats and they walk silently. It really makes sense."
The figure who came in quietly let out a pleasant 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 Hong Lang, he will come in by kicking the door; if it's King Kong, he will knock on the door before coming in; only women have the leisure to play such a trick to scare people." Shen Yi smiled and turned to look to tenderness.
Under the night, Wenrou was wearing a snow-white evening dress with a low cut and long skirt, revealing a large snow-white chest, with clearly defined hills and valleys, a string of diamond necklaces hanging on her chest, and an emerald bracelet on her wrist.
She was smiling at him.
"Have you put on makeup?" Shen Yi was a little surprised. He put some blush on his gentle face, some eye shadow, and a pair of false eyelashes. The pair of big eyes that were already bright were even more lively and lovely with the long eyelashes.
"Does it look good?" Gentle asked.
"good."
"I thought you didn't like women with makeup."
"Men are not women who don't like makeup, but women who don't like makeup that doesn't look good, or who have nightmares after taking off makeup." Shen Yi said with a smile: "You are already very good-looking, adding some makeup will be icing on the cake , nothing wrong."
"You're good at coaxing girls."
"Just telling the truth. By the way, where did you get the necklace and earrings?"
"When you asked the soldiers to help you find Armani, I asked them to carry it for me." Rourou said with a smile.
Shen Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
A woman is a woman, and she likes shiny things by nature.
"Since it was my soldier who took it for you, does it have to be my gift?" Shen Yi asked.
Gentle and playful, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Never mind, the bloody point of recruiting soldiers was made by the fat man, and I gave the order. At best, you are renting labor. If you want me to thank you, send it by yourself Come here."
"In the bloody city, diamond necklaces and emerald bracelets are not considered good things."
Gentlely pointed at Shen Yi: "You said it, then you said, what gift should you give me?
"You will take advantage of the situation."
"Women are the best at asking men for gifts."
"But this is not Earth."
"It's the environment that changes, not the people."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Yes, it is only the environment that has changed, not the people.
Shen Yi sighed.
He said softly: "But the problem is...to survive in this place, we often have to erase humanity."
Tenderness is also speechless.
She moved a small soft stool and sat down beside Shen Yi, looked at the starry sky under the night, and murmured: "The little guy cried very sad just now. They are not at all like the unreal existence we thought, but We adventurers are becoming less like humans. Every day we face blood and killing, and we think about survival and strength every day... We are like machines, executing the orders of the bloody city mechanically and rigidly. No The power to resist is not qualified to bargain, compared to them, I think we are the NPCs."
Shen Yi said lightly: "You think too much. Thinking about such problems will only distract you and make you unable to concentrate. That's not good for you."
"But we are facing it!"
"Then continue to face it!" Shen Yi stood up suddenly: "This is not a journey without an end. In the center of the bloody city, there is a holy tower. As long as we complete all five difficulties and become marshals, we Then you can enter the holy tower and challenge the highest task. At that time, all the answers will naturally appear in front of us.
Since this is the case, we should go on well. Although this road is very long, as long as we are alive, we can always make it. "
Gentle looked at Shen Yi 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: "Being a human...you have to have a goal."
Carefully chewing Shen Yi's words, looking at Shen Yi's back tenderly, his mind was suddenly in a trance.
When she came here at this moment, she had nothing to do at first, she just wanted to chat with Shen Yi, but she didn't expect that the topic would become serious as soon as it started.
Instinctively wanting to find a lighter topic, while moving his eyes, he saw a pair of trousers with needles and threads on the table next to Shen Yi.
"What's wrong with these pants?" Rourou asked curiously.
"Oh, the zipper of the trousers is broken. I sewed a few buttons back on."
"Can you still sew?"
"It's not difficult." Shen Yi smiled.
Rourou put the pants back: "It's better to change a pair directly."
Shen Yi smiled without saying a word.
After thinking about it, she said softly, "It's late, go to bed early."
"Not sleepy." Shen Yi thought for a while and said, "Call Luo Hao over for me."
"What's the matter with him?"
"Tell him something about fighting. You know that sometimes the best way to make a person not afraid of fighting is to let him win the battle and get benefits." Shen Yi said with a smile: "If you can It would be better for us all to let Fatty play a role. What he lacks now is not just courage..."
Gently nodded in agreement.
In Fatty's room, the little guy was lying on the bed, seemingly asleep.
Seeing Wen Rou come in, the fat man put his finger to his mouth and made a hissing gesture.
Gentle and softly asked: "Have you coaxed him well?"
"Tired from crying, I fell asleep by myself." The fat man smiled.
"You go to Shen Yi's place, 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. Besides, he's already asleep."
The fat man left the room, gave Jerry a tender look, and then left.
...
When he woke up in the morning, Shen Yi was brushing his teeth.
The door was kicked open with a bang.
Hong Lang came in carelessly: "Congratulations, Shen Yi, you have been dismissed."
"What?" Shen Yi turned around and asked vaguely with his mouth full of toothpaste foam.
"You're not number one anymore." Hong Lang grinned and opened the bloody coat of arms.
Twelve hours have passed, and there have already been earth-shaking changes on the leaderboard.
The new No. 1 place appeared at midnight yesterday, and it was the No. 2 place in the original North District. The current kill value is 34 points. The second place is also from the North District, with 32 points. Shen Yi ranked third. As for Ruan Rou and the others, they dropped below the top 20.
In terms of regional rankings, the North District has also regained the first place, and the South District is catching up, and the points of the East District are almost the same.
"It seems that everyone was very busy last night." Shen Yi whispered while wiping his face with a wet towel.
"This regional competition mission, our team is probably the only one that is so casual. I guess many people didn't sleep last night." Hong Lang replied.
King Kong's words sounded at the door: "This reminds me of the story of the tortoise and the hare. What are we? A rabbit that fell asleep because of pride?"
"We may not be rabbits, and those people are not tortoises." Rourou also came over.
The fat man also appeared with a bitter face: "I'm about to enter the kill 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 a one-night effort, other adventurers have already caught up, so who can sit still. Hurry to 198th Street early and get rid of the mutants there, this is everyone's only thought now.
Shen Yi flicked the towel: "If this is the case, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
———————————————
A new day, a new game, no one dares to slack off.
The 23rd hour of the competition mission.
A group of six rushed out of the hotel roaringly, Shen Yi walked in the front wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, followed by Gentle, King Kong and Hong Lang in the same attire, they looked like the three Neo in the Black Empire Group, quick and powerful in action.
King Kong was the first to jump into the open-top Land Rover off-road vehicle that he had just bought yesterday. For adventurers, this kind of car with large displacement, high horsepower, square and full of impact is becoming their favorite.
Sitting in the driver's seat, King Kong smiled and said, "Your driving is too crazy, let me do it, and Gentle will show me the way."
Gentle and sweet smile Qianxi: "Whoever needs me?"
Shen Yi said: "Men will always need women."
Everyone laughed together.
The Land Rover Mercedes was on its way to 198th Street, and National Guard soldiers were everywhere.
The riots of the adventurers yesterday made the already turbulent New York even more chaotic, and even news reports came out.
Americans would not have imagined that such a commotion would last for three full days.
Rourou sat in the front row and pointed the way, while throwing a few walkie-talkies: "I bought this when I was shopping yesterday. With this, it will be convenient for everyone to contact. You don't have to go through those summoned soldiers. Bloody City has A special walkie-talkie that can be used in any mission world, if you can earn more this time, everyone will equip it when you go back.”
Hong Lang was surprised and asked, "You still have the mind to go shopping?"
Gentle made a graceful gesture of brushing her hair with her hands, her posture was seductive: "Just like you still have the desire to appreciate women, it's all natural."
Except for the fat man and the child, the three men in the car laughed at the same time.
At this moment, Shen Yi's communicator suddenly rang.
It's Frost.
"Frost, what's the matter?"
"As per your instructions, sir, we are massing towards 198th Street. While massing, one of our soldiers spotted a signal on the road that you have requested our attention."
Shen Yi froze: "You mean the distress signal?"
The distress signal is the contact method agreed upon by adventurers in the East Zone before leaving. According to the agreement between them, although the adventurers in the eastern region are scattered, they still have to take care of each other. Once someone encounters danger or trouble, they will use the distress signal to request support from other adventurers. When Shen Yi issued mission 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, some adventurers had already sent out emergency calls for help.
"Yes, sir." On the other end of the intercom, Frost's voice was still calm and calm.
"What is the exact location?"
"Around Fifth Avenue."
Without Shen Yi's explanation, the others also heard Frost's words.
Some adventurers in the Eastern District were in great danger and sent out a distress signal, which surprised everyone.
Rourou 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 rely on others, New York is too big, it's still a question of whether other adventurers can see it."
"But who knows if it's too late now? A battle doesn't take too long." Hong Lang's rebuttal was also reasonable.
"Going to have a look doesn't affect anything, anyway, we will have time to deal with the mutants when we come back." Shen Yi said.
At this moment, Frost's voice came from the intercom again: "Report sir, there seems to be something wrong on 198th Street. Our people found that some mutants seem to be about to leave Isborough Church."
"Damn, how did this happen!" Hong Lang punched the car, and he yelled at Shen Yi: "What should we do now?"
Shen Yi's expression also changed.
Suddenly, the mutants on the 198th Street suddenly began to move, but the adventurers in this area were in danger.
Hong Lang yelled: "I can't care about that anymore, go to the street immediately and intercept those mutants. It should be too late now!"
"What about the other companions? Just leave it alone?" Rourou said dissatisfied.
"It's too late to take care of myself, how can I have the time to take care of others?" Hong Lang said.
King Kong reminded: "You'd better not forget that this is a regional competition. If no one saves them and our people die too much, if we fall to the last place in the region, we will all be wiped out."
A murderous look flashed across Hong Lang's eyes: "Then we'll kill more mutants to make up for the shortage, and if not, we'll kill some adventurers from other districts. Didn't we already kill one in the North District?"
Shen Yi interrupted Hong Lang: "Do you think that the other party is just a domestic animal, waiting for you to kill?! No one is easy to deal with! Believe it or not, you are shouting to kill Luo Hao now, and he dares to fight you desperately!"
The fat man nodded seriously.
Shen Yi patted Hong Lang: "In any case, we are all Chinese, everyone should help each other. Don't forget why the Eastern District is known as the strongest in the bloody city. It is not because of our personal strength, but because of our unity! As long as If conditions permit, we will try our best to help, for others, and for ourselves."
Hong Lang opened his mouth and said after a long time: "Then let those mutants go like this? That's the only mutant gathering point we know now."
Shen Yi replied: "I'll talk about this later, Wenrou, first check the location of Fifth Avenue."
"You don't need to look it up, it's the most famous street in the world, and it's also the fashion place that women yearn for the most. A battle takes place there... It's like a gunfight in a museum. There is a cruel beauty in burning zithers and cooking cranes. "
Talking tenderly, she clicked on the map, found Fifth Avenue and zoomed in before Shen Yi's eyes.
Shen Yi carefully looked at the map to find the way to get there. After looking at it for a while, Shen Yi raised his head and said: "The distance is not close. By the time we come back from Fifth Avenue, the mutants on 198th Street have long since disappeared. But at present we don't know which team is in danger, and which team is in danger. What kind of danger is it? What Hong Lang said is not completely unreasonable. We want to save people, but we have to complete our own work. Saving people is a good thing, so let’s avoid it by sacrificing ourselves. I think so, you guys Go after mutants on 198th Street, and I'll go to Fifth Avenue alone."
"Are you crazy? Do you want to deal with a problem that a group of people can't solve by yourself?" Hong Lang grabbed Shen Yi's collar and shouted. Although this person is rude, stingy, selfish, and even cruel, with a lot of problems all over his body, at least one advantage is that he is absolutely loyal to his friends.
There are not many people included in his circle of friends, but Shen Yi is one of them.
He absolutely cannot accept Shen Yi going on an adventure alone.
"I didn't say that I must go to the dangerous situation alone. This time I am saving people, not killing people. The situation is different. I want to see the situation over there first, observe it before making a decision. Maybe it can be resolved without resorting to force What's the problem?"
Hong Lang sneered: "This is a bloody city, not an orator's podium. Your mind can only be used as an aid, not a one-shot decision!"
"If something cannot be done, I will not force it. As I said, I save others, but I will not sacrifice myself." Shen Yi said lightly.
This reassures everyone a lot.
"What about the killing value?" King Kong asked.
"It's fine to leave some for the paratroopers to kill. They were summoned by me, and they will be counted as mine if they kill them."
"Well, I think that's the only way to go." King Kong nodded.
"Are you sure this will work? In case you are discovered..." Ruan was a little worried.
"Give me your remaining blood points, if you can't beat me, you can run away."
Everyone immediately understood what he meant.
Because of Wen Wen and the others, each of them left hundreds of blood points before entering the mission world, and they handed them over to Shen Yi at this moment.
Thinking of Shen Yi going there alone, Rou Rou felt a little uneasy. Looking at Shen Yi with a pair of wonderful eyes, Shen Yi smiled, and turned on the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Contact me at any time if you have anything to do, don't worry, I won't hold on."
"We try our best to make a quick decision here. Remember, when we are not here, you'd better not be a hero. If you can, try to delay the time." King Kong said loudly.
"rest assured."
"There is a fork in the road ahead." Wenrou cried.
"Let's 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 speed.
At a casual stop in the middle of the road, a black Mercedes-Benz was forced to stop. The owner poked his head out and cursed at Shen Yi: "Bastard! Get out of the way!"
Shen Yi strode over: "It's just a ride, can you take me to Fifth Avenue?"
"We have different paths!" The owner said impatiently.
"You will change your mind." Shen Yi was full of confidence.
The muzzle of the Spirit Musket was aimed at the head of the car owner.
