Infinity Armament

Chapter 137: Urban Balance (above)

“You better stop letting him run around. There are robots everywhere.” Marcus said.

“Yes, sir, thank you very much for your reminder.” Shen Yi nodded sincerely to Marcus, referring to Xi Xiaofan: “If you don't mind...”

“Of course.” Marcus took a gentle step back.

Shen Yi quickly came to Xi Xiaofan and knelt down and said to him: "Xiaofan, go back with your brother. ”

Xi Xiaofan just crooked his head and looked at the sky above his head.

His eyes were empty, as if he were dead.

Shen Yi grabbed Xi Xiaofan's arm and held him up. Xi Xiaofan was like a cat who had been trampled on the tail jumping wildly and screaming desperately twisting his body: “Mom... Dad... Mom... Dad! ”

The cry was terrific, the tone sharp, and the heart of the prick shook.

Shen Yi shouted, “All right, all right, be quiet. I'll take you to your parents, okay? Stop messing around. There are robots everywhere. I can't protect you if you run around again. ”

“Go home… Go home…"

“If you can keep quiet, I'll take you home! ”

Xi Xiaofan finally stopped moving.

Shen Yi clamped him back.

Coming to Zhou Yiyu and King Kong, he put Xi Xiaofan down and the teenager stood still without a slight expression.

His mouth was still mumbling: “Go home...”

This sighed King Kong, touching the teenager's head and saying in the lightest possible tone: "Hey, don't worry, we'll take you home when we get this done. ”

“Then… it is not… home…” Xi Xiaofan's stubborn mune sounded like a ghost.

Vajra's heart shook.

He looked at Shen Yi, and Shen Yi had no expression.

Yeah, that's not home!

No matter how good and safe the bloody city is, it's not home!

Maybe they won't be able to come home for the rest of their lives.

Shen Yi looked back at Marcus in the distance, and Kerlis and the stars on the roof had come down, standing behind Marcus, the three of them looking at this side together.

Thinking about it, Shen Yi took some food from the bloody crest and sent it to Vajra: "Give this to them. ”

Vajra walked over to Marcus with food.

Kyle's two children were apparently starving and saw the food rushing over and eating big.

“You don't look like you're being hunted down.” Seeing the food and seeing the clothes on them, Marcus suddenly felt something wrong again.

These foods are great, with fine snacks from China, French foie gras and caviar, and some canned meat. Even before Marcus fell asleep, he could not eat all of this - he was a criminal in a federal prison in the United States before he was converted into a semi-robot, executed and agreed to hand his body over to a scientific research institute for research… it was not the end of the world at that time.

And now the four men standing in front of him, each wearing clean and tidy clothes, although there are traces of dusty servants, the clothes are new, and each dressed well, even the autistic teenager is wearing a clean white shirt and a black coat - these days it's not easy to find a fit.

Even though Shen Yi's lies are perfectly woven, he still needs to explain why they can live like this in these chaotic and desperate times.

Just a few minutes ago, Marcus was still eating wolf meat just two days old.

Shen Yi walked over quickly: “We accidentally found a basement while fleeing the Terminator's pursuit. There are plenty of food and supplies and gunpaper and weapons, many of which are unused. The person who owns it died of illness… he did not accumulate drugs for himself. So we took some of it and went on. ”

“Is that basement far from here?” Kerlis asked.

“Far away, all the way here. We lost several of our partners. ”

This answer exasperates young Kyle greatly.

“Where are you going?” Marcus asked.

Shen Yi smiled: “Sir, I appreciate you saving my brother's life, but I am not your prisoner and I am not obliged to answer all your questions. As a thank you for saving people, I left you some food, and then... I think we should go. ”

“Please don't get me wrong!” Kyle screams, “We just want to find the Resistance and find John Connor. He'll lead us against the machine. Are you going to the Resistance? ”

Shen Yi looked at the look of anticipation on the young Kyle's face and shook his head: “No, we're not going to the Resistance Army. We just wandered around, fled, avoided the machine's pursuit. I think we're on a different path. ”

“You can't hide from them forever, we have to stand up and fight!” Kyle yelled.

As John Connor's "The Future" father, Jr. Kyle showed his rather courageous side.

When Kyle Reese said that, the bloody crest on Shen Yi's hand suddenly dripped.

“Triggering a plot mission: Kerlis' invitation to protect the lives of Marcus and Kerlis. Marcus is dead, minus 2,000 bloody points. Kyle Reese is dead, minus 3,000 bloody points. Not enough blood, wipe it out. During the course of the mandate, no coercive measures shall be taken against Kerlis and Marcus, otherwise the bloody spot will be deducted according to the degree of coercion. This task is a collective task, accepted by one person and assumed by all. No.”

Shen Yiyi looked back stunned. Only Zhou Yiyi Jinggang was looking at the bloody crest on his wrist. Obviously, he received the same instructions.

At that moment, Shen Yiyu suddenly flashed a thought in his mind. He grabbed Kong beside him and held his hand, while yelling at Zhou Yiyu: “Don't accept! ”

At this time, Zhou Yiyu's hand had been pressed against his bloody crest. His expression was exciting and he was obviously happy to suddenly get the plot assignment.

Shen Yi couldn't care less. The spirit gun appeared in his hand. One shot was being fired at Zhou Yiyu. He rolled over and hid from him. Then he found out that it was Shen Yi's gun. He yelled angrily: “What are you doing? ”

Shen Yi walked in and grabbed Zhou Yiyu and shouted: "Don't accept this task! ”

At the same time, he looked at Xi Xiaofan, only to see that he still stared at the sky, and did not respond to the hint on the crest, which only relieved him.

“Why? This is a rare hidden mission! We can get a huge reward.” Zhou Yiyu shouted away Shen Yi's hand.

“Failure is even more troublesome. Can you afford to lose 5,000 points? ”

“We will not fail, with me, no Terminator can catch us!” Zhou Yiyu was furious.

Shen Yi shook his head: “Don't you understand? Perhaps that is why we will receive this task. ”

“What did you say?” Zhou Yiyu was stunned.

“I said there's something wrong with this mission! Don't you think it's strange? Why do things happen so coincidentally, Marcus, when they don't show up, they don't show up late, but rather here, at this time? Time, place, it's all too coincidental. You know, the plot is not the main line of our mission! ”

“Our participation was originally the scene of Terminator 2018.” Zhou Yiyu answered in a low voice, and Marcus and others in the distance were stunned by the scene they were seeing, obviously unable to figure out exactly what had happened.

Shen Yi had thoroughly poked his own lies through.

But Shen Yi couldn't care less. He didn't have a good airway: “Then why us instead of the others? Marcus and Kyle Reese can meet anywhere in Los Angeles, why here? Near us? At this critical moment? ”

Zhou Yiyu was stuck, and he finally realized something was wrong: “Are you saying this is not a coincidence, but a deliberate urban arrangement? This mission has a trap? ”

“Yes!”

“Why?”

“The answer to this question is complicated when it comes to why. But first I want to ask you a question. According to what we know, mission difficulty in a bloody city is enhanced by region, and only after we cross a region will we encounter an obvious increase in mission difficulty, right? ”

“Yes, roughly the same difficulty as the difficulty zone task. ”

“That is, because adventurers are empowered every time they go through a mission. So, as soon as we're up fast as we can, our strengths can totally outweigh the challenges of the mission, right? If that were the case, we would be at great risk only if we entered a new difficulty zone, and by the time we got to the last mission in the region, it could be very easy, and normally it would have been better to accomplish more and more tasks under the same difficulty zone, right? ”

“… in theory. ”

“Then the question arises, why have I never heard an adventurer say that the last mission in a fixed difficulty zone was very easy? Did you ever hear that? ”

Zhou Yiyu grabbed the scalp: “No, but so what? What does this have to do with our task now? ”

“Of course there is.” Shen Yi replied very seriously: "I have been working on the bloody city, and I am not interested in why it exists, but I am interested in its working habits. When I first took part in an official mission, it was a team mission, and our opponent was just an ordinary German soldier, but our mission was to guard the bridge dead, which meant that we had no room for that mission! The second time is when we face a mutant with a specific function, when our mission is to hunt the mutant, which means we can pick our own opponents. In fact, most of the surviving adventurers didn't even see Magneto! And this time our task is to escape, our task is only to live, because our opponent is a constant robot! Haven't you noticed? Of these three tasks, all the world's difficulties are very different in themselves! The world of World War II is simply not as qualified as the world of Terminators and the world of X-Men. So why are they in the same difficulty zone? ”

“Is it because of mission patterns that the world is difficult to balance? ”

“Exactly!” Shen Yi shouted: “Bloody cities have been adjusting mission difficulty, not through the world's difficulty itself, but through mission patterns, which make a region roughly the same difficulty. That's why even as our strength grows over and over again, we don't feel how easy the task is… In the air carrier, we've confirmed one thing: Bloody City is bound to get involved when things change, and now we know it has only one purpose to get involved - to create balance! So inferring from this, if a few adventurers can easily accomplish the task, it's likely to create some extra trouble for such adventurers, and of course it gives the practice a very nice name: extra tasks! ”

“Damn...” Zhou Yiyu and King Kong called out at the same time.
