I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Esmeralda-style blood-frozen tunnel - the absolute zero-degree earth!

The ground quickly froze outward with the soles of Stephen's feet as the center of the circle, turning the entire ground and a large group of unlucky ghosts standing on it into white ice sculptures. Their postures were forever fixed on the last ferocious expressions, and then A small stretch of quiet battlefield was filled with white cold mist.

"Stephen

,how's it going? ! "After evacuating the crowd, Klaus joined Stephen and asked him immediately.

"No, Yakari headquarters is unwilling to interfere in this other world operation. We have to rely on ourselves."

"I knew..." Phil on the side sneered and shrugged his shoulders, "They are all a bunch of rigid guys."

"It's not that simple. Don't be too naive, Miss Grace. How many do you think the total number of fangs all over the world are?"

Stephen said with a cold face, then suddenly reacted and blinked in surprise: "Hey, why are you still following us? This is too dangerous! Klaus, why didn't you send her away?!"

"Uh, this..."

Klaus was stunned and looked at the girl beside him.

Because she was so calm and frightening in the face of this chaotic scene, even as if she was familiar with this situation, and she was still trying her best to help others, so much so that she almost forgot that she was actually just an ordinary person.

There was no trace of confusion in her blue eyes, and her shining soul full of light was what surprised Klaus the most.

Chapter 170 First Encounter

Gracefield came to the unlucky guy who was frozen into a string of ice sculptures by Stephen, and broke off a long knife from his hand. The broken ice shards and severed hands fell to the ground and scattered everywhere. .

She weighed the weapon in her hand and said: "Send me away? Who dares to drive on the street in this situation? There is no transportation, and such a big city is full of turmoil. Where can Mr. Stephen send me? go?"

"Stephen, Phil is right, it is safest for her to be with us now."

"Can...."

"Don't worry, Mr. Stephen. I've learned a few women's self-defense skills, and I can still protect myself easily. If you think I'm holding you back, you can just throw me away when the time comes. I won't say anything. of."

Stephen turned his head and smacked his lips vigorously, saying nothing more.

"Phil, we will not abandon you, nor will we abandon anyone." Klaus stared at Phil firmly.

Whoosh whoosh!

Several shells roared past the heads of the three people again and exploded not far away.

Stephen knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and immediately shouted: "In this case, stop talking nonsense here, find a place where you can hide first, we are living targets here!"

"But where can we hide?" Klaus punched again and knocked away a group of masked FFFs that rushed forward.

Phil immediately looked around and saw the street sign that had been cut off by bullets and fell on the street. He said: "This is Witherphone Street. Follow me. I know this can lead to a safe place."

"how do you know?"

"Stephen, we have no choice, believe her!"

There is a growing trend of gangs from other worlds approaching the three of them. If they don't move, they will definitely fall into an endless battle.

Stephen gritted his teeth and stepped hard on the ground. Several ice walls rose from the ground, temporarily blocking the surrounding guys.

"Damn it, lead the way quickly!"

"Go this way!"

.......

Following Phil's guidance, Stephen and Klaus teamed up to open a bloody path through the chaotic crowd, and then plunged into the intricate streets and dark alleys.

"The situation here is so complicated, are you sure you won't take the wrong path?" Stephen was a little worried, his tone full of distrust.

"No, my memory is good!"

get lost? joke!

When my wallet was not rich at that time, I often followed Leo to "do justice" in various alleys of HL. Even with the help of God's Prosthetic Eye, I could see the invisible and be blocked by the camouflage illusion. You know all the secret passages so well that you won’t get lost even if you walk with your eyes closed!

Although HL is not exactly the same now as it will be three years later, these fixed buildings should not change much, as long as you avoid those weird random entrances.

Phil led Klaus and the two of them to turn left and right, and came to a fork in the road. On the right was darkness, and on the left was an old wooden door with a faint light.

This is it...it's almost unchanged from three years ago.

Phil stopped and stared in a daze at the old wooden door at the end of the fork on the left, which would be one of the fixed entrances to the secret society Lebra's headquarters in an unknown period of time.

But now... Phil looked back at Klaus meaningfully.

Who knows what's behind the door.

The dark road on the right is no longer familiar. Going down, you can enter an abandoned shaft that leads to No. 42 Street, but you have to walk a short distance, which is also the one in front of the city wall gate of the quarantine area.

Will you meet a guy with a white mushroom head clamoring for a hamburger?

"Phil, what's next?" Seeing Phil stop, Stephen asked her while watching behind him.

"Nothing to follow. It's safe here for the time being." Phil raised his hand and pointed to the dark passage on the right. "The underground waterway on the right can lead to 42nd Street. If they call for backup, they can meet there. The door on the left is I don’t know what’s behind, but I suggest you don’t go in for now.”

After hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Stephen leaned against the wall.

He wiped his sweat and said, "I didn't expect you to really be able to run around in this kind of maze. There were several times when I suspected that I would be blocked in a dead end by a group of strange guys."

"Good job, Phil." Klaus took out his cell phone and prepared to call Gilbert.

But there is only a busy signal. I don’t know if there is no answer or for other reasons.

"The phone can't be reached..."

"It's possible that the communication line has been cut off. The outside has been blown up like that. It's normal for the signal to be intermittent." Stephen also looked at the mobile phone that had no signal for the time being and put it away again.

"Then what are we doing now?" Phil asked.

"We need help. Even if we want to save more people now, the strength of a few of us is far from enough. It is even said that if the source of this unrest is not contained, it is possible that this situation will continue for another week. ." Klaus took off his glasses and wiped the stains off with his clothes.

"But how can we stop them? Even they themselves can't count how many forces there are among the people fighting outside." Stephen covered his head with a bitter look on his face.

"Most of them are just gangsters who are just joining in the fun and don't mind making a big deal out of it. The only people who need to pay attention are the biggest forces in each neighborhood..."

"Huh? How do you know."

Phil, who was asked by Stephen, shook the map in his hand that was stained with blood: "Rely on this."

"Where did you get this?"

"I happened to touch a headless guy on the road. It seems like a blind cat just stumbled upon a dead mouse."

"No wonder you know the alleys here..."

Phil laughed dryly and did not deny Stephen's guess, which saved him from having to explain more.

He unfolded the map with a bang, and with the faint light not far away, Phil pointed to one of the blocks and said: "Look, it's marked on it who is the biggest boss in each area. It seems that they are a group of guys from another world. It was already planned."

"Does everyone want a piece of this cake? And they're not afraid of eating so much in one go that they'll kill themselves if their appetite is too small."

Stephen took a rough look at the marked map, "Is this our current location?"

"Yes."

"It's indeed not far from 42nd Street... The mark above is a government-controlled area... Is there still a government now?"

"It's always been there, but it's just ignored because it can't be controlled, but that area is also the place where human life is densest. I guess they will build a wall to surround themselves in it in the future." Phil said in a teasing tone road.

Stephen also sneered and said: "Oh, it's just a turtle's head. It's just the best way to avoid the chaos. Let's go there."

"There are independent communication network equipment in the government-controlled area that can keep connected to the outside world. If you want to call help, it is really a good choice there."

"Then it's decided." Klaus patted Phil on the shoulder and said, "That's really helpful, Phil."

"It's nothing."

Just as a few people were packing up their maps and preparing to leave, the wooden door on the right was suddenly knocked open with a bang.

Klaus and Stephen immediately prepared for battle and stood in front of Phil.

As the dust from the door being knocked open gradually dispersed, a giant man in a black trench coat, about the same height as Klaus, slowly walked out from under the light, holding a huge gun that looked extremely lethal in his hand. The feeling of oppression even made Stephen swallow silently.

The huge gun muzzle flashing with cold light leaves no doubt that he only needs to gently pull the trigger in his hand, and the three people on his side will be blasted to pieces in an instant.

"who are you?"

Under the dim light, a rough voice broke through the silent air and hit the ears of Klaus and others. The tall figure even had a pair of sunglasses on his face, making people wonder whether he could see the road clearly.

Chapter 171: This road is blocked

"Before asking for someone else's name, shouldn't you tell yourself your family name first?"

After hearing Stephen's answer, the strong man in black raised his weapon and said unceremoniously: "The gun in my hand is a carefully modified distortion field launcher produced by the Blacksington Factory. Don't doubt it, I have used it to kill at least Twenty faceless guys were crushed into a puddle of meat that even my mother wouldn’t recognize, so don’t have any evil intentions!”

"We're just passing through and will be leaving soon," Krause said.

"Leave? Where can you go? The streets are in fucking chaos now! Bullets and laser cannons are flying around like they are free. I have every reason to suspect that you are here to invade this shelter!"

"Shelter? You call such a dilapidated house a shelter? These brick and concrete houses are as thin as paper in front of howitzers, and you plan to hide here and wait for the storm to pass?"

"Who are you?" The strong man looked at the brown-haired girl behind Klaus, and his tone seemed to slow down a bit.

These three guys all looked human, and they had no weapons. They were probably lost in the alley with a girl running around at this time, he thought.

Phil couldn't be more familiar with the man in front of him. He was the man later called "Arsenal" in Lebra - Patrick. I didn't expect to meet him here. It seems that Klaus doesn't know him yet.

"I'm Grace Phil, this is Klaus and Stephen. We are preparing to cross the underground waterway on the other side to 42nd Street to seek support."

"Hey, Phil!" Stephen shouted, as if he was dissatisfied with Phil telling all his plans to the stranger in front of him.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Stephen. This city is in such chaos now. Human beings are all in the same group. We have to stay together to stay warm in order to survive."

Phil walked out from behind Stephen and others, came to the front, raised his hand and said: "So, what is your name? And, can you put your finger down from the trigger? This gun must make a lot of noise, in case it goes away If there is a fire, we may not survive.”

The strong man snorted and put the weapon on his shoulders, and Stephen and Klaus also temporarily put away their fighting postures.

"My name is Patrick. This place is not a shelter at all. I just escaped from the smashed weapons store with my assistant. What you said makes sense. In the current situation, if humans don't report to the group, it is estimated that it will take three days." From now on, there will be no place for us in this HL.”

"Then do you want to go together? With more people and more efforts, you will be waiting for death sooner or later if you stay here."

Patrick smacked his lips and said: "What you kid says is really unpleasant, but damn, I can't refute... Nika!"

He turned around and said hello to the house, and a girl with a ponytail ran out from inside.

"This is my assistant, Nijia. You have to take her with you, otherwise we won't have to talk."

"Of course, Mr. Claus?" Phil subconsciously wanted to ask Claus for his opinion.

"No problem, I will be responsible for protecting everyone."

The girl named Nijia picked up the suspenders of her overalls that had slipped off her shoulders, took out a pistol from her waist and loaded it, "We don't need your protection, Patrick and I can take care of ourselves."

"That's the best." Stephen nodded, "Without further delay, let's set off..."

The group of people followed Phil to the dark alley on the other side, where there was indeed a huge cast iron manhole cover on the ground. Without being reminded by anyone, Klaus stepped forward and acted as a coolie, lifting the heavy manhole cover.

A strong smell of rotten rubber mixed with the smell of rotten eggs came from the shop, making everyone dizzy.

"Ahem! Are you sure this place really leads to 42nd Street, Phil?" Nika asked, fanning her face vigorously.

"Uh, probably." Phil felt a little unsure at this time. You must know that the shaft here was abandoned three years later, and there was nothing else except a little smell unique to the sewer.

But now... who knows if it is still in use, mixed with excrement and domestic sewage from various races.

"How about I go down first to explore the way?" Phil couldn't put his companions in an unknown and dangerous situation, so he offered to go down first.

"It's too dangerous, Phil." Klaus stopped Phil who wanted to jump first, "Let me go."

"Uh...well, Mr. Claus, be careful."

Phil, who subconsciously held the long knife at his waist, did not forget that he did not have as much vitality as before and could squander it at will, so he had no choice but to nod.

When Klaus jumped down the wellhead without hesitation, Patrick said from the side: "Wait, take this with you."

He took a lighting rod out of his arms and threw it to Klaus.

"You don't use us as tools to explore the road. You are quite manly. It's too dark down there. Don't die."

"Mr. Claus is not the kind of person you think...Stephen is."

"Hello!"

"Haha, just kidding." Phil waved his hands quickly, swearing that this was definitely not a retaliation for Stephen's constant doubts about his behavior.
