Chapter 389 New York a hundred years ago!

The rest of the road was not peaceful. We encountered several waves of robbers and bandits, but they were all killed by Victor and James.

Although the two are still young, their performance in the battle is very fierce. With each battle, the two have more and more combat experience, and the damage they receive in the battle is getting less and less.

At the beginning, in addition to knocking off the weapons that were aimed at them and posing a threat to them at the beginning of the battle, Chen Mo also had to pay attention at all times during the battle, and often needed to help eliminate some potentially fatal threats.

However, later on, the two of them were able to respond flexibly to ordinary situations, trying to avoid the enemy's attacks during the battle and not giving them the chance to launch fatal attacks. The number of Chen Mo's attacks during the battle gradually decreased.

In this battle, the two of them showed extremely high fighting talents and became more and more proficient in fighting skills. However, this was only compared to their original state. If they really took turns in fighting skills, the two of them would also

It is equivalent to the level of a street gangster who often fights. With his extraordinary physical strength, endurance, and powerful self-healing ability that ignores ordinary damage, he can bully ordinary robbers. But if he really encounters an enemy with excellent fighting ability, he can only

Kneel down.

However, there is a long way to go. With their extraordinary talents and powerful talents that are completely born for fighting, Chen Mo is confident that he can train them into the most powerful warriors!

It took them nearly half a month to cross the Canadian border and enter the United States.

However, Chen Mo did not stop there. Instead, he continued eastward, passing through plains and mountains, passing through wilderness, villages, and towns. After nearly ten days, they finally reached their destination, the largest city in the United States, New York.

.

New York in the early 19th century was familiar yet unfamiliar to Chen Mo.

Back in the world of Captain America, he had lived in New York for quite a while, but that time was already in the first half of the twentieth century, almost exactly a hundred years ago.

The majestic Trinity Church has stood in Manhattan for more than a hundred years, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with its strong medieval Gothic style, has been built for more than thirty years. Many of the buildings on Wall Street, the financial center of the United States, are no longer the same as they were a hundred years later.

Big difference.

However, there is still no Statue of Liberty standing on the island at the mouth of the Hudson River, and the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan Island has not yet begun. Many landmark buildings that Chen Mo will be familiar with in the future will be located here.

At that time, the city was just a collection of low-rise bungalows, small buildings and even an undeveloped wasteland. Only in the southern part of Manhattan Island could one see more shadows of the future metropolis.

Although New York at this time was already the largest city and economic center in the United States, with very developed finance, industry and commerce, compared with later generations, it was far inferior in terms of development level and city size, but it also had more of a ten-dimensional character.

The retro charm of the ninth century and many ancient buildings that have been demolished in later generations can be seen everywhere at this time, making this future modern city full of a strong historical atmosphere.

The area of ​​New York at this time was far less than that of later generations. Not to mention the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island, the four future major urban areas of New York were still just patches of farmland and pasture, which was the core of New York.

The earliest developed area of ​​Manhattan was only a small part developed at this time.

The current central city of New York is actually very small compared to those large international cities in the future. Only the southernmost part of Manhattan Island, centered on Wall Street, covers an area of ​​only a dozen square kilometers. The northern part of Manhattan Island further north is still considered a suburb.

, mainly distributed in residential areas, factories and farms.

However, New York is developing rapidly, and the urban area is rapidly moving north.

Although the area of ​​the southern central city is not as large as that of later generations, and there are not many towering skyscrapers, it is still full of tall buildings, each tens of meters high. Luxurious buildings stand on both sides of the street, which has a prosperous atmosphere of a metropolis.

Wall Street, which is only 1.5 kilometers long, has already become as prosperous and busy as later generations. As the financial and commercial center of the United States, it is home to dozens of large banks, insurance companies, securities and stock exchanges, and hundreds of major companies.

The headquarters of the company and employing hundreds of thousands of people.

A business, trade, finance, and insurance employee in a suit and tie hurriedly walked among the high-rise buildings, presenting a bustling scene.

As the carriage drove along, Chen Mo was okay. He just looked at the scene outside the window casually with scrutiny and recollection. However, Victor and James had always lived in the countryside and had never traveled far, let alone seen so many tall and magnificent people.

The buildings and the wide, neat but extremely busy streets felt so novel for a moment, and I looked around dizzyingly.

No wonder the husband wants to develop in the United States. Only such a developed and beautiful city is worthy of his abilities. Compared with this, the manor where they originally lived is simply the most backward and remote countryside.

Two little guys who had never seen the world, one was poking his head outside the car, and the other couldn't sit still in the car. One moment he lay on the left window and looked up at the tall buildings on the roadside, and the other moment he ran to the right window.

Looking out the window, I looked at groups of neatly dressed people in suits and leather shoes on the street.

Chen Mo didn't say anything to them, and let them look around curiously. From time to time, he gave instructions to Victor, who was driving in front of him, and headed towards a hotel that he remembered should have been completed and opened by this time.

Turning a corner, a familiar building appeared in front of Chen Mo. Compared with the World War II period a hundred years later, this building has not changed much, but it just looks brand new.

After nearly a month of journey, this dusty carriage finally stopped slowly in front of a luxury hotel next to Fifth Avenue.

Chen Mo, Victor and James walked into the hotel lobby amidst the greetings from the doorman.

The two people who were looking around curiously in the car just now became attentive this time. They did not look around curiously at the magnificent hall of the hotel as before, but acted very calmly.

James was born into a wealthy family. Although the place he grew up in was not as prosperous as New York, the manor he lived in was not much different from this hotel in terms of luxury. The only difference was that it was larger in area and had higher floors.

The shock to him was far less intense than the "huge" city he saw outside.
