Chapter 287 Escalation of the situation

"WNS emergency report!"

"An oil storage warehouse in the northern industrial area exploded!"

"Preliminary investigations indicate that the incident was an escalation of a nighttime street shootout."

"The explosion was caused by an out-of-control vehicle hitting the oil storage station, causing a huge fireball and smoke."

The scene shown on TV seemed like the end of the world. Huge fireballs soared into the sky, and the shock wave shattered the glass of the entire street!

"It is estimated that approximately 20,000 to 60,000 gallons of alcohol-2 fuel of various specifications were turned into fly ash. The owner of the oil storage station, Kejing Logistics, has not yet responded further."

“This is the 11th street fire that has occurred in Watson District this year. Relevant personnel said that the Night City government should increase the security management of the area and introduce the high-quality services of Arasaka Company when necessary. "

"Experts claim that Arasaka is experienced in dealing with declining industrial areas and cited the company's security achievements in Chiba, Japan."

Ordinary people are afraid when they hear this kind of news. As soon as Lille heard it, he knew that Brick must have led someone to attack the gas station.

However, the picture captured on TV is really exaggerated:

The mushroom clouds are rising!

This symbolizes that the conflict between the Uzumaki Gang has completely come to light. The whole city will know that Brick is not dead yet, and he and his former good brother Royce have beaten the dog's brains out!

In the last scene of the picture, those who are interested can see several Vipers quickly rushing out of the flames. The guy holding the gun even has flames on his body, and the machine gun above the car is spitting out tongues of flame.

This car was obviously not bought for free.

While listening to the news, Lear put on prosthetic doctor gloves, and the robotic arm also replaced the replaceable hand with a prosthetic surgical component.

V and Jack were lying on the operating bed, and Lille and Little Octopus performed prosthetic adjustment surgery on them at the same time.

There are two main problems with Jack's gorilla arm. The impact exceeding the load-bearing strength caused the parts to deform and abnormal wear occurred internally.

Fortunately, none of the damaged structural parts were custom-made. They were all models that Lao Wei would use during surgery, so they were not that difficult to find.

The adjustment of V is mainly based on the recent operation of Klenchikov.

These two battles have proven that the Little Octopus's Klenchikov drive is quite stable. Compared with the Klenchikov used by ordinary people, it starts up faster and has a wider range of trigger conditions. It is not even worse than the junior model of Si'an Westan. How many.

But Si'an Westan's active activation effect can still play a key role in combat.

So the next step is for Lille to start really trying to repair Kontao's Sente.

Before that, implanted prostheses connected to the nervous system, including the Mantis Knife, need to be adjusted, recorded and compared——

The first step is to repair, because with Little Octopus, Lille can use the traditional AI training mode to find patterns from the operation of many Sian Westan, and then implement repairs.

Generally speaking, the data on these "many Sian Westin" is very private, and it is difficult to find many different models of Sian Westin.

But it's different now: the group of cybermaniacs in the Whirlpool Gang has the largest number of people equipped with this kind of prosthetic body.

If conditions permit, the next step is to increase the power of this Sian Westan.

Lear still had the Mewtwo that he had ripped off V's body and hadn't analyzed, which contained detailed records of Chibi's state when he was overloaded.

Kang Tao was very greedy for the data and wanted V to be an experimental subject.

And Lille hopes to solve this problem themselves.

The more you stuff yourself with technology that you don’t understand, and the more you rely on technology that you don’t understand, the outcome will often not be good.

Just as the operation was about to end, V looked at the TV and said, "The situation is a bit serious. It sounds like many people will die."

Lear nodded: "Rather, when the power changes, there will definitely be many victims."

Jack lay on the operating table and raised his head: "This doesn't feel very good, after all."

"I'm not done yet." Leal electrified the gorilla's arm, and Jack's arm jumped suddenly.

He put away the surgical tools and signaled that the two of them could get up.

".At this time, some people will focus on destroying the enemy, and some will focus on self-preservation, but only those who finally get the support of local people can become the ultimate winner in difficult times."

In fact, all gangs in Night City are essentially funded by locals.

The Six Street Gang was dominating the Santo Domingo area, but before that, they tried to establish the law and killed many NCPD doers.

Valentino is a role model for the street kids in the Haywood area. He is Catholic, has his own set of rules, and hits hard at the NCPD, scavengers, and corporate dogs who don't follow the rules.

There are also the Tiger Claw Gang that relies on the Japanese, the Mox Gang that relies on sex dolls and low-level workers, and the Voodoo Gang that relies on local people in Taiping Prefecture.

Every gang is the same. They profit from local industries, arm their own thugs, and rely on armed force to exert control over the local area and maintain order, making the region run smoothly and suck blood for a long time.

Although the Uzumaki Gang is a bit special, they are essentially the same. Now that they are busy with civil war, this territory has become an unattended area.

Adecado can take this opportunity to expand his influence.

"Okay, let's get started, deliver the goods first, and then see if there is anyone in Watson North who needs help."

V got up from the bed and moved around: "I have another question, why doesn't military technology take action? I'm afraid there won't be enough to fight the Uzumaki Gang."

"The company's deployment of troops in Watson District is a very important game point. Arasaka and Military Technology are keeping an eye on it. It's enough for you to know this.

In addition, don't underestimate the Uzumaki Gang, they are called the Cybermaniacs Gang for no reason. "

"Tsk, it's just some junk. It's not as powerful as my sister's Mackinac and Feitian Motorcycle."

As he spoke, V patted Lear on the shoulder: "Isn't there a great inventor like you?"

Lear said angrily: "Let's have some snacks, we've been stupid all day."

[Sender: Brick]

[Brick: Man, your car looks shabby, but it looks awesome in a fight! 】

[Brick: I’ll transfer the rest of the money to you. Do you still have the car? Please give me some more. 】

[Brick: Damn, this damn Royce has so much stuff. 】

[Transfer: +150,000 euros]

[Mysterious Hero: Of course, how much do you want? 】

[Mysterious Hero: I have something better, think about it? 】

[Brick: What? 】

[Mysterious Hero: Can’t the centaur mecha be opened? I have the driver here to help you flash your machine, 50,000 per unit. 】

Royce sat in his monitoring room, watching the video sent back, and was furious!

Surveillance showed that Brick relied on his knowledge of the oil storage station to secretly connect a route to steal oil. If he hadn't changed the patrol route, he might not have known that Chun 2 had been stolen!

It turned out that these guys were also talented people. They just took out their guns and started shooting. Brick also took the shot. After a back and forth, the oil tank was blown up!

Based on the current average price of alcohol 2, which is 5.3 euros per gallon, the loss will exceed 100,000 euros!

What's even worse is that Brick transferred all the funds saved at the oil storage station, and more than 400,000 euros were lost in one fell swoop!

With this explosion, other Brick loyalists in the Whirlpool Gang are about to rebel. They originally took over the gang painlessly, but now they are going to fight a civil war!

And it has to be fought!

As soon as he finished speaking, gunfire rang out in the Whole Foods factory!

Royce grabbed his pistol and strode forward, sending a message as he walked:

[Recipient: Anthony]

[Royce: Have you seen the news? That bastard Brick found a few armed vehicles from nowhere, and now he also robbed a gas storage station. 】

[Royce: Stop pretending to be dead and give us some real support! 】

[Royce: If I die, you won’t be able to get the data! 】

[Anthony: Waste. 】

[Anthony: I can’t be too obvious. Give me a list of the prosthetics you use and the things in the factory, and I will send you an upgraded driver. 】

[Anthony: Don’t fail again. 】
