The Great Winter Soldier

Seven days later at night, Mike was walking in a hurry on the streets of Hell's Kitchen. It was already 7:6 in the evening. It gets dark very early in New York in the winter. It was already dark. Mike stepped on the thick snow. There was a crunching sound, and facing the flying snowflakes, step by step, he finally came to a dilapidated building. Facing the street was a convenience store. Mike turned in from the convenience store, not far behind the building. There was a side entrance, and that was Mike's destination. wx

Mike breathed a sigh of relief, holding a big paper bag in one hand, and holding the key with a trembling hand to open the red iron door.

Stepping into the shabby bar, the warm breath hit his face, which made Mike's body warm up a lot. The warm yellow lights, the small space was neatly tidied, and there was a Christmas tree placed in the hall. There were colorful lanterns with small pendants hanging on them. Although the house was empty and shabby, the decoration was very warm and made people feel comfortable. A warm atmosphere rose from the bottom of Mike's heart.

Mike passed by the bar and went straight to a backstage. As he walked, he saw Nicole sitting at the dining table and looking out the window at the dark streets. The building was divided into two parts. The front facing the street was the convenience store, and the back facing the dark alley was the bar, so Nicole could only see the dirty back alley.

"Ma'am, sir, have you ordered dinner tonight?" Mike asked softly, catching Nicole's attention.

Nicole retracted her thoughts and whispered: "Do as I say and ignore him."

"Okay." Mike said as he walked to the kitchen.

Nicole sighed softly. It was really difficult to have an ordinary Christmas. I don't know what happened to this city, it was so quiet and scary. In fact, through the investigation over the past few days, Nicole also discovered a shocking fact. Crime has almost been eliminated in Hell's Kitchen, and no one is stealing or robbing here anymore. The "carnival" atmosphere of the past is no longer there, and the place is open all night.

But every night, people here are all in a hurry, rushing back home and locking the door tightly. Hell's Kitchen at night is simply a ghost town. It's a good thing that there's no crime, but it's not a good thing if people here are panicked and you can't even see a ghost.

Compared to Hell's Kitchen, the crime rate in other areas of New York is rising steadily, which is eye-opening. The police officers in Hell's Kitchen drink tea and play cards every day, looking relaxed and relaxed, while the police officers in other areas of New York City are extremely busy. This is an extremely pathological social phenomenon.

Of course, it is not appropriate to say that the police in Hell's Kitchen are doing nothing every day. Their most difficult problem now is the problem of missing persons. Many people in Hell's Kitchen are missing, yes, many, many people. In such a good public security environment, this group of police officers really have nothing to do except investigate missing persons. What makes people find it interesting is that most of the missing people have criminal records or are in the midst of a criminal career. This has also greatly reduced the enthusiasm of police officers for missing cases, and they are unable to work effectively.

It wasn't until three days ago that two Hell's Kitchen police officers disappeared one after another, which attracted everyone's attention. Under strong pressure from the top of the country, various agencies and departments were effectively integrated and operated. The representative sent by the national department on TV I once vowed to find these people who disappeared out of thin air and give people a reasonable explanation, but it was of no use. A few days passed, and people only saw the security in Hell's Kitchen getting better and better, but they didn't see the situation. Not even a trace of the missing person.

Nicole thought of the neon lights that had been closed early at the club a few blocks away when she just came back. Nicole couldn't help but sigh. It was a famous entertainment venue, but due to the accident,

I am so depressed that I have to choose to close at night. This is simply unbelievable. Have you heard that entertainment venues such as nightclubs and clubs have the most customers at noon, but there are not even a single person at night? The weird atmosphere revealed by the entire city makes The person's scalp feels numb.

As for the Christmas that Nicole tried to prepare for Xia Tian, ​​I am afraid that she will have to spend it in such an atmosphere. There is no family atmosphere here, at least not what Nicole imagined. It is just an abandoned small bar. The original owner For some unknown reason, I hurriedly transferred it to Nicole. Only 5 or 6 round tables can be placed in the not-so-large space. The bar basically occupies a quarter of the entire bar, and the back kitchen The space is not large, but at least it is a serious kitchen. The bar has a side door at the back of the building, and there is a convenience store in front. The two stores share this medium-sized building.

Nicole was mainly interested in the second floor of this small bar. Although the partition was very low, Nicole could reach the ceiling with her hand, which made her feel a little depressed, but it was enough to live in. The second floor was originally filled with groceries and drinks, but now it has been cleared away by Nicole and Mike and used as a rest area. She and Xia Tian have been living on the second floor for several days. Poor Mike and Darwin were driven to the back of the first floor. Kitchen lounge.

But for Darwin, who was used to living a hard life, he was satisfied with having a place to live.

Nicole here is trying hard to sort out her thoughts and expressions, preparing to celebrate Xia Tian's first Christmas, while over there Xia Tian and Darwin are training hard.

In a very empty underground warehouse, Xia Tian's eyes were fixed on Darwin. At this time, Darwin's expression was very distorted and ferocious. His eyes were shining with a slight red light. His hands were wearing black leather gloves, and he was still carrying in his right hand. With a heavy iron chain.

"Yes, you don't need to burst out all the energy at once. When you are in a normal state, you can also use this ability to release it bit by bit. Take your time. We have plenty of time." Xia Tian said softly. , with his fingers in the gun guard, spinning the big revolver in his hand from time to time. This revolver is the 00 model produced by Smith & Wesson. Its power is among the best among revolvers. It has a large caliber and large bullets, also because the bullets are too big. Yes, the chamber can only hold five rounds. The total length of the gun body is 457cm, and the barrel alone is 266cm long. This gun is not used for military purposes, but for hunting large prey. It is basically a cannon among pistols.

This was specially prepared for Darwin by Xia Tian. This was also the next stage of Darwin's training course. At this time, Xia Tian looked at Darwin who was still in the physical body, but his eyes were red, and the black leather gloves ignited with red light, and then, The iron chain he held in his hand was also dyed red, and he swung the iron chain and threw it against the wall, leaving a deep crack.

Ghost Rider can enchant all his equipment. After Darwin can maturely use this ability on iron chains, Xia Tian is going to give this big revolver to Darwin. Such a large-caliber revolver can hunt wild elephants. , if he is possessed by Darwin again, he probably won’t be able to kill anything.

Darwin worked very hard. If his body hadn't recovered quickly, he would have been bruised and bruised at this time. Xia Tian spent almost the whole day training his fighting skills. It wasn't until night that Xia Tian was tired. He changed his training program.

Hell's Kitchen exudes weird atmosphere, which also makes Xia Tian have to speed up the training of Darwin. Once Nicole finds out any clues, one after another tasks are inevitable. I wonder if Nicole will bring anything good to Xia Tian today. information.

In fact, Xia Tian originally wanted to inquire about the information by himself and let Nicole train Darwin. Later, he thought about Nicole's fighting style. In the end, Xia Tian chose to teach him personally. The results were obvious. After these few days, Darwin used His abilities are becoming more and more mature, and to Xia Tian's surprise, Darwin's loyalty is slowly rising and has now reached 82.
