Chapter 375 When you stare into the abyss
"Mom, why do you have to care about that company dog? I mean, the company employee?" David was very unhappy. "Have you forgotten that we were on the highway and the trauma team refused to save us?"
Technically, David first met Leal on the highway.
He had just finished his vacation that day, and Gloria made an exception to drive him to and from him. In the car, she asked him about his arrangements for the new semester, what expenses he might have, and how much they would probably cost.
Then Valentino and the Sixth Street Gang started fighting in the car, blowing up their little broken G240.
Gloria would have burned to death in the car if Valentino's Archito hadn't stopped and pulled her back.
I have to thank Achido for his gun and his big brother Burger King for his rescue in the hospital.
If there was one less process, he might not have a mother now.
Think about it this way, he didn't pay Lille and even earned commission from Lille. It's simply
So ungrateful!
David suddenly felt ashamed of himself.
Gloria taught without looking back: “Neighborhood is very important, and this is a member of the trauma team.
The trauma team won't rescue poor people like us, but if you know someone, maybe the situation will be different.
If the trauma team in charge of the rescue that day has an acquaintance of ours, maybe he can help us, and it won't take long."
David hesitated: It seems that the older generation likes to do this kind of thing. In a world that relies on money, they hope to use some cheap things to gain favor and relationships.
In the end, it’s not about money?
But soon, two members of the trauma team walked ahead of them, walked straight to Kanek's room door and knocked on it.
Upon seeing this, David immediately stopped Gloria, and the two of them slowed down and paused on the spot.
Bang bang.
The man knocked roughly on the door.
"Kanek! I know you're in there! You've been in there for a fucking week!"
"Hey." A member of the trauma team called out to him, "What are you doing?"
Judging from the voices, they were a man and a woman.
The man has a louder voice and sounds more irritable.
After being reminded by his companion, he clicked his tongue and said in a softer voice: "I'm sorry that what happened, and the company is also sorry.
Can you say a few words? I mean, if you're not in a good mental state."
David was a little surprised when he heard this: He didn't expect these corporate dogs to be quite humane.
As a result, the man said in the next second: "Then the company must terminate the contract with you. Damn, why is it so troublesome? Can't it be terminated remotely?"
"Hush! The company needs to study his mental state, not let you stimulate him!"
The woman took out a tablet terminal from her pocket, scolded the man to step back, and said something professional in a softer voice:
“You are not the first to have this happen, 3% to 11% of the company’s employees experience similar things every year.
But with the help of the company, they can all return to normal life quickly, and you should actively accept the company’s treatment.”
"Isn't it just a big deal to die? It's too fragile." The man sneered at this, took two steps back with his hands folded, and happened to see David and Gloria standing there.
So he yelled at David viciously: "Look at your mother?"
David forced a smile to hide his anger: "What happened? I live upstairs."
"Then just stay here. You'd better stay out of other people's business."
"Dies, don't be angry! This is his neighbor!"
The woman knocked on the door but received no response. She turned around and drank Diyes, and said to David: "Don't mind, our colleagues encountered some problems."
Dies originally wanted to say something, but he received a text message from the woman:
[Petro: Kanek Roswald may be resistant to us because of his work trauma. We can try to let this neighbor contact him. 】
David kept a straight face, but he felt that his mother behind him was eager to speak.
In order to control the conversation in his own hands, he chuckled, took a step forward, and indirectly pressed his mother: "What happened?"
Petro said in a sad tone: "His best friend who could become his wife died during the mission, and the whole person collapsed. We were worried that he would do something stupid."
Dies disagreed: "It's too fake. Does he look like he will collapse when he usually goes out to save people?
Those who didn’t know better thought he was out to collect the winnings from the Living Lotto. "
Petro glared at the man, and then said to David: "Can you go and see him? He may not want to see people from the company now."
David sighed, glanced at his mother, and then at the closed room 0613.
To be honest, what his mother said is not unreasonable. In Night City, you really need to have many friends.
But do you really have to worry about this?
What the two trauma teams said and did after they arrived flashed through David's mind repeatedly, and he slowly raised his head:
"I think what you just said was right?"
"Ah? Which sentence? Don't you want to see people from the company?"
"That's the sentence at the beginning: Stop meddling in other people's business. I guess this is your job and I have no reason to interfere.
But if I have some funds, I can consider it. "
Petro was stunned for a moment and looked at David carefully——
Only then did her professional prosthetic eyes realize that David's hand seemed to be in his pocket, but there seemed to be something in the pocket.
This isn't just a pocket thing.
She immediately put on a professional and cold expression: "Mercenary? If you can find a way to call Kanek out, I can provide some funds for your help."
"good."
David nudged Gloria, signaling for her to stay where she was, and then sent Lucy a message.
[David: Lucy? Are you here, there is an extra, H4 skyscraper 0613, the trauma team wants to get the people inside to respond. 】
[David: Can you take a look inside? 】
[Lucy: You can find an interface and let me check the situation. 】
David walked to the other side of the corridor, where there was an access point to the facilities and equipment in this area of this floor.
As Lucy enters the network, they quickly have answers.
[Lucy: No, the cameras are all off. They seem to be broken, but I can open the door. 】
David raised his head and gestured to Petro, indicating that he could choose to open the door.
Although this was not an ideal situation, Petro weighed in and decided to adopt this plan.
In David's eyes, a holographic HUD with a progress bar appeared in front of the door of Room 0613. As the progress bar gradually loaded, the red light symbolizing the lock turned to green——
Click.
The door was open and the lights were dim and flickering.
David bowed slightly, indicating that they could come in and pay.
[Transfer: +500 euros]
Gloria looked at this magical scene and didn't know what to say for a moment. She was holding a bag of cheap stress-relieving pills in her hand, and she didn't know whether she should follow or leave.
"Mom, let's go. They are here to perform official duties. Company dogs are not humane when they are at work."
"But...but this is our neighbor and I want to know what's going on with him, take a look."
Gloria looked at the door. The two trauma team members, Petro and Diez, looked at each other and carefully stepped into the door.
But the moment he stepped in, David's enhanced cochlea detected a strange sound in the cacophony of voices, music and wind.
It was a very slight buzzing sound, which was too abrupt in this noisy environment.
The enhanced cochlea immediately allowed David to identify its sound waveform——
This should be some kind of detection device kicking in, with an electronic oscillator producing a slight hum in the circuit.
This sound will also appear when the infrared board is triggered first.
Si'anwestan's instinct had already started, and his thinking time was shortened. Petro's front foot hadn't even touched the ground yet.
boom!
The flames instantly engulfed the entire front door of Room 0613!
The flames reflected in the eyes of those in the dark.
"Two, one dead."
