Chapter 522: First visit to Taiping Prefecture
[Time for cross-dimensional main consciousness conversion: one hour and 33 minutes]
[Expected technology points deducted: 200]
Taiping State is a lawless place.
This place is located in the south of Night City, across a river. In the original urban planning, it will be built into a world-class resort and tourism center, bringing more abundant industries to Night City and attracting more investors.
However, when Taiping State was under construction, the Unification War broke out, Southern California was completely recovered by the New United States, and the army advanced all the way from the south to here, completely cutting off the original plan of Night City.
The tourist resort became a battlefield, and what was more troublesome was that although the war ended because Ryan moved to Arasaka and signed the Alvin Agreement to declare the end of the war.
But the problem lies here. At the same time as the Alvin Agreement was signed, a special forces unit called the Nether Dogs had sneaked into Taiping State and successfully launched a raid, occupying a piece of local territory, and still occupied that territory after the war.
Now this place will never become a tourist attraction: because that piece of land is still a war zone.
That is where Lille is going this time, Dog Town.
Of course, Lille still has some work to do before entering Dog Town. They can't enter Dog Town with such a half-crippled body. If they really enter Dog Town in their current state, they will be dealt with by the company agents and ghost dogs everywhere in a short time.
The three of them need time to recover their bodies, repair their prostheses, prepare equipment and even vehicles; at the same time, collect intelligence and find out what the company is like now.
To be honest, even if the violent terrorist mobile team was hit hard and the company was frightened by the nuclear explosion, it is a bit abnormal that they haven't sent troops to find them yet--
This is not Lille's narcissism, but this time they showed eye-catching technology, amazing and unexpected destructive power, and unwilling to obey.
These things combined, there is no reason why the company won't respond.
After all, this world is a world where major monopoly companies try to consolidate their positions and monopolize more industries, thus becoming what it is now.
The intelligence collection was also because there were still many strange details in the whole incident of Ryan's assassination, and he needed more intelligence to infer the whole picture of the incident.
But before that, they had to deal with the man hiding in the abandoned amusement park.
Taiping State is a lawless place, so there are no laws to speak of locally. If you have to say, there are only two rules:
One is not to provoke the local gang Voodoo Gang; the other is that if you have something to do, you can hire a hired soldier at your own expense.
The locals are not good people.
The three of Lille are in a very bad state, and a local person coming out now is definitely the worst situation.
"Voodoo Gang?" V's voice was very low, holding the Night in his hand, putting it behind him, and following Lille as if nothing had happened.
Jack's one hand was swinging normally, and the other hand was holding the golden ruthless woman hidden under the torn trouser leg.
Lille now has no octopus arm, and the cyber prosthesis is also completely shut down in the nuclear electromagnetic pulse. Because the tumor compresses blood vessels and nerves, he walks a little uncoordinated.
Unlike these two masters, without prosthetics and equipment, his muscles are completely in a state of muscular weakness, and he even lost an eye.
It looks quite scary.
Lille shook his head: "Not likely."
Logically speaking, the more prosthetics a person has, the easier it is to be paralyzed by electromagnetic pulses in this nuclear explosion. The Voodoo Gang is basically all network hackers. They should be busy repairing equipment, counting casualties, and retreating to defend.
The highly prosthetic mercenaries should have suffered considerable damage. Staying at home and waiting for the prosthetic doctor to repair is the best choice.
The only ones who can appear are ordinary people with a low degree of prosthetics.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the three of them are very unlucky, and the guy inside is a hiding mercenary.
The target location is an abandoned bungalow, with a warehouse behind and a stall in front. The sound came from behind the house.
The three people approached slowly and walked inside against the wall. Lille heard a slightly trembling sound.
These sound information were transmitted synchronously to the Marvel world. The little octopus immediately wondered:
[Little Octopus: Big brother, it seems that someone is shaking. 】
Lille winked at V and Jack, raised three fingers, and the two of them immediately separated and approached from two directions. When they reached the wall, they counted silently in their hearts
One
Two.
Bang!
A fast-moving figure rushed out from Jack's side!
Jack wanted to shoot immediately: although he was very tired, he would not miss at this distance!
But just as he finished aiming, the black shadow was tripped by the beach and fell to the ground--
"Ah!!!"
This is a child. The child ate a mouthful of sand and retreated in fear. Unfortunately, it can be seen that he was so scared that his legs could not be straightened. He could only move on the ground at a magical angle and posture, begging for mercy while moving.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything."
"Quiet!"
Jack squatted down and put the gun in front of the child's eyes, frightening the latter to shut up instantly, and his twisting body even seemed to stop in time and remained motionless.
"Child?"
V and Lille, who caught up, also found the child moving on the ground.
The child looked to be around 10 years old, with dirty short hair, a foul odor, and clothes that were black and smelly, almost torn.
But he looked quite healthy, and there was no trace of prosthesis, only a broken brain-computer interface slot.
Jack and V looked at each other and looked at Lear.
Lear was quite surprised: he ran into a homeless kid.
Just in time, they needed a messenger, and the three of them were a bit obvious targets.
So Lear squatted down and said slowly: "Kid, do you want power?"
The child looked at Lear's missing eyeballs, black smoke, burns, tattered coat, and the hacker radiator fins that flashed cold and messy in the moonlight.
He cried on the spot and nodded while crying.
This man doesn't look like a human, but a cyber madman.
"Not bad, what's your name?"
"Matt."
"Very good, Matt"
Having a local to lead the way will make things go faster, after all, Lear doesn't even know where they are in Taiping State now.
Lear limped to the side with Matt, who watched V and Jack walk towards the wreckage of Mackinaw and shouted in his heart:
I want to talk to humans! Even if it just looks like a human, it's fine!
"Let's fix your brain-computer interface first."
Taipingzhou is a lawless place, but for the sake of safety, it's better to use a person who has no connection with them as a "chicken" activity.
On the other hand, his prosthetic body is a bit damaged, so if it needs to be repaired, it must be dealt with comprehensively.
Matt's brain-computer interface is just a minor malfunction, and a brain-computer interface that stops working will be very little damaged in the electromagnetic pulse.
But after Lear said this, Matt, who was already crying silently, cried even harder.
Repairing the brain-computer interface? Here? In the abandoned amusement park in Taipingzhou? !
Why don't you just say you want my organs? !
Or does this evil cyber psychopath want to experiment on my head? !
But feeling the weight of the Yinglong submachine gun in Lear's hand, the kid couldn't say a word.
He's going to be sliced by a cyber psychopath.
