Book 4 Chapter 32: Apocalypse Wasteland (Part 2)

Days had darkened . Driving on desolate streets, occasionally some Terminators would come out to “rob”, but those things would then overwhelmed by Shen Yi’s group .

But all along the way, they did not see a living being .

“In front of us is Los Angeles City Hall . ” Zhou Yiyu stopped the vehicle .

Not far from them was a broken red building standing in the wind . A sign marked with the words “The Los Angeles City Hall” lied on the ground . A gust of wind blew through it, bringing a buzzing sound and silent sorrow .

Jumping out of the car, Shen Yu headed to a collapsed stone monument .

There were some words on it .

“In 2004, July 26th, two days after Judgement Day . ”

“The robots are finally here . ”

“We resisted for two days, but we could no longer stop the attacks of these cold-blooded machines . Emily is dead, Margaret died, and Lance died . My comrades-in-arms, my lover, my child, all my partners are dead . ”

“They have made great contributions to the prosperity of this country . They were once the best scholars and experts in the world, and they finally became the bravest fighters . ”

“They died and died under the wheels of the machine . ”

“It was us who invented the machine . It was our creation that in turn overthrew us . ”

“The LA city is about to fall, and the world is already in darkness, but humanity will not perish . May future generations bear in mind today, this moment . One day, humanity will return and become the master of self again . ”

“This is the final announcement of Clifford Armstrong . It will surely become a true future prediction!”

Concentrating on this stone, Shen Yi focused his eyes .

He slowly erected the collapsed stone monument and bowed before it .

That was a tribute to the warriors’ spirit, whether or not they actually existed .

Jin Gang strode from the rear: “I just contacted Hong Lang . They still need a little while to get there . The exact time is not clear . We have to wait for them . ”

Zhou Yiyu frowned his brow: “The Terminator may come back to kill at any time . We cannot stay too long . ”

“It is not our custom to abandon our teammates . ” Jin Gang immediately said .

“I didn’t tell you to give up your teammates . I just told you not to be stupid . ”

“Then why did you say that? Since we did not expect that everyone would be separated, ưe only prepared one map, and it is now in Shen Yi’s hands . It’s not easy for others to find the direction of Los Angeles . They don’t even know exactly where they are . How can we find a goal without knowing its position?”

“Don’t you have Crystal Tears Pendant?”

“It can only be used to find one person . ”

“Don’t you have two people together? If you find them, you will have only one left . ”

Jin Gang took a look at Shen Yi, if he used the Crystal Tears Pendant to find Hong Lang and Wen Rou first, and then search for Fatty later, it would solve many problems .

But Shen Yi shook his head unequivocally: “No, the Crystal Tears Pendant cannot be used lightly . The mission has only just begun . Who knows what will happen later? If we find Hong Lang but Luo Hao is in danger,we won’t know his location . What can I do to save him then? Be patient, Crystal Tears Pendant should be used for those who need it most . ”

Jin Gang and Zhou Yiyu also thought about it, and Zhou Yiyu said helplessly: “They’d better be faster . ”

Since the decision was to wait, the three people simply strolled freely into the City Hall building .

Entering the building, the first thing that catches the eye was a spacious circular hall .

The hall was bleak, and documents were scattered all over the place like waste paper .

The stairs leading to the second floor had long  rotten . As long as one exerted one’s effort, one could take down the whole floor . Even if no one stepped on them, occasionally overwhelming heavy sounds would be heard .

The end of the second floor was the office of the mayor .

Behind the large desk, a skeleton was sitting on a chair .

There was a sharp hole in the skull .

Shen Yi looked forward and said: “This should be the mayor . He committed suicide . ”

Saying that, Shen Yi picked up a rusty pistol from his desk .

Life should be the most treasured thing .

But in the face of great suffering, many people would choose to give up life .

For many people, death was a relief, allowing them to avoid bearing the enormous burden of suffering .

Because of this, there was no shortage of suicides in Bloody City .

The reason why such people made this choice was because they did not see hope .

Putting the pistol down, Shen Yi walked to the window .

From there he could see the ruined ruins in the distance, seeming desolate and unpopular . Creepers were full of run-down buildings, with wild grass growing wildly . Several wild wolf were walking through the ruins of the distant places…

Animals and plants were expanding their living areas, human beings were dying, and the earth was recovering . This made people lament .

He was looking out at the scenery outside the window and suddenly a person stumbled into his sight .

Xi Xiaofan .

When no one noticed, he had actually woken up .

Out of the car, he walked wildly and in a dumb manner on this land .

As he moved further and further away, he went to a street that was tens of meters away from them .

Just at this time, a Terminator with a M449 heavy machine gun appeared on the distant street .

Shen Yi shouted loudly, quickly jumped out of the window and ran to Xi Xiaofan .

The distance was too far away, and he knew that he could not arrive in time . He could only hope that Xi Xiaofan would have a trace of will to run away from danger .

However, Xi Xiaofan only looked at the long street .

The gun of the Terminator turned towards Xi Xiaofan and fired .

————————————

Just as the Terminator’s heavy machine gun fired, a silhouette suddenly rushed over the Xi Xiaofan’s shoulder, hugged him and they both tumbled behind an abandoned old car .

The whistling bullets swept across the air and hit the top of the two men’s heads, preventing them from to taking any step .

Shen Yi rushed to the side of the Terminator as he he took out the Spirit Flame Gun . The bullet hit the Terminator and sparks flashed . The Terminator suddenly turned its gun .

Just as it was about to fire, an abandoned car unexpectedly dropped and slammed heavily on the Terminator, pushing it to the bottom of the car .

The heavy machine guns are still sweeping, but the guns were turned in the direction of the Terminator itself, and the Terminator’s AP value was eliminated . The red light in the eyes gradually dimmed .

Seeing this scene, Shen Yi stopped .

Behind him, Zhou Yiyu and Jin Gang also rushed over .

The three men took a look at each other, and a strange feeling arose in their hearts . That was because they had clearly seen this situation before .

It was in the movie Terminator 4 .

With the gradual growth of time lived in Bloody City, everyone now understood that everything in the mission world was mostly a background . In many cases, the mission of Bloody City had nothing to do with the original story .

The X-men 3 mission they experienced last time, did not follow the original story .

This time the Survival mode similarly did not involve the original story .

Everyone was confused by the Survival mode that even ignored the original plot .

They did not expect that they would see the beginning of the plot .

What had just happened was clearly a scene from the Terminator 4 . The cyborg Marcus had arrived in Los Angeles . Because he did not know his environment, he was attacked by the Terminator T-600 . As a result, he met Star and Kyle Resee .

That Terminator was the one which was crushed by heavy weights, and it was exactly the same scene as they saw in the movie .

Then, a fluffy little girl, with a pair of dark eyes, who looked less than ten years old was standing on the roof of the building . A pair of twinkling eyes were watching them .

Next to the little girl, stood a sixteen year old boy, Kyle Resee .

The one who rescued Xi Xiaofan was Marcus, a tall man wearing a trench coat with the resistance’s sign .

“What the hell, I thought we wouldn’t have anything to do with the story itself . ” Jin Gang whispered .

“It is indeed strange . Our quests and the story itself do not conflict . In this case, why should the content of the story happen?” Zhou Yiyu also did not understand .

“Bloody City will not do anything useless . Look at the past and you may find some clues . ” Shen Yi said, striding over .

At that time, Marcus had already picked up Xi Xiaofan and was watching them with cautious eyes .

From his reaction, it was clear he knew and understood the current world situation from Kyle and Star . What was interesting was that this should have happened after this scene, but it seemed that there were some errors in timeline .

It was that error that caused Xi Xiaofan to fall in distress and be subsequently rescued .

This should not have happened .

So was that related to the change of mission’s content?

If so, what did it mean?

Shen Xin leaned towards the side and walked towards Marcus with a grateful look: “Oh, thank you so much, sir . You saved my brother…” He pointed at his own head: “He has serious autism and he always likes to run around, so I always have to worry about him . ”

He tried to grab Xi Xiaofan . He did not expect Xi Xiaofan to yell loudly at his face, and to struggle to go sit in a corner, shaking his body . , His eyes straightened .

Marcus looked at Xi Xiaofan in the distance and looked at Shen: “The two of you don’t look like brothers . He is not enthusiastic about you . ”

When he spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally stepped aside and was standing in the middle of Shen Xiao and Xi Xiaofan .

“Cousins . ” Shen Yu replied very seriously: “After the Judgement Day, we haven’t met . At that time, he was only two and a half years old . In 14 years, I used to think that he was dead . But I discovered him two weeks ago . At that time, I didn’t recognize him at all . If I didn’t see his father, my uncle Boris’s dying message…”

Speaking of this, there was a sad expression on Shen Yi’s face: “Boris was dead . He was not killed by the Terminator . He starved to death . He gave all his food to his son . Before he died, he begged people to protect his child… When I was young, he was good to me . I still remember one time I climbed a tree and broke my leg . It was him who was carried me to San Andre Hospital … he stayed with me for a whole night, and until now I still remember that it was in May 13th in 2004, 40 days before the Judgement Day broke out . God, it was a nightmare…”

Shen Yu’s unfamiliar lie was almost perfect, not only in terms of detail, but also in his story, his character, his name, his time, and his place . Not mention that his expression was sincere .

Zhou Yiyu whispered to Jin Gang: “I’ve never seen a person who can come up with a lie that is so natural and smooth, and even play two roles . He can easily become the best script writer in Hollywood . Do you know how he did it?”

Jin Gang grasped the scalp and replied: “Maybe his Innate Talent also enhances his ability to lie . His lie is indeed too good, you should not believe any of those words . ”

“…”

Listening to Shen Yi’s words, Marcus’s guarded expression gradually disappeared .

In this chaotic era, people should help each other rather than being hostile to each other .

Humans’ enemies were the machines!
