Chapter 601: Recovering the Bricks and Tiles

[Mr. Hands: Burger King, you guys did a great job on this order]

[Lille: What's wrong? The data in it can be used to check taxes. I didn't even pursue the fact that someone was trying to bury me underground. ]

[Mr. Hands: Okay, okay. Let's be frank. ]

[Mr. Hands: Your data did barely complete the commission, but your behavior made the client very unhappy that I asked you to work for him. ]

[Mr. Hands: So next time.]

[Lille: Next time, you should consider accepting my commission. ]

[Lille: I want to clean up the scavenger's den in the Long Beach stockyard. The scavenger has been having fun in Night City for so long, it's time to control it. ]

[Mr. Hands: Now you've turned your attention to the scavenger again. You have to know that there is a reason why the scavenger has become so big. People can't afford it.]

[Lille: Stop pretending. You work for the Europeans and don't care about the life and death of Luxor Villa. It's just for a little benefit, right? ]

[Lille: There are three forces in Dog Town: the Nether Dog is the most direct reason for its existence, the Voodoo Gang is the network defense line that cuts off the company, and the Scavengers are the reason for ensuring the daily supply and maintaining its long-term existence. ]

[Lille: Luxor Villa is one of the Scavengers' largest customers. If this place is hit, it is only a matter of time before the Scavengers become a soft persimmon and are replaced. ]

[Lille: If you don't do it now, you will be a middleman for the rest of your life. ]

[Mr. Hands: There is nothing wrong with being a middleman. ]

[Lille: Then you go to be a middleman now. I want to take over the Long Beach Stockyard. Help me determine their location. It would be best if you can lure them out and kill them all. ]

[Lille: I'll give you 24 hours. If you succeed, I'll give you 500,000. You can handle it yourself. ]

[Mr. Hands: I'll think about it. 】

Lille had no doubt that Hanz would join the vote, because if he didn't, he would never have a chance-

Hanz was a middleman, and he was a middle-level executive who had fled from a giant company. His judgment of the situation was obviously better than Hansen.

In the original plot, Hansen unearthed an unfinished AI project of military technology under Dog Town, hoping to achieve a higher level of military strength and independence, get rid of the current embarrassing situation, and get a clean shore.

This desperate operation attracted hackers with ulterior motives, causing him to lose his life. Hanz relied on V to complete several commissions in Dog Town, and sold favors to Europeans and NCPD successively, severely damaging the Scavengers and Voodoo Gang.

After Hansen's sudden death, he took advantage of the opportunity to interfere in the internal affairs of the Nether Dogs, and relying on the benefits brought by the commission, he had a chance to matchmake, let the Europeans, that is, the network monitors replace the Voodoo Gang, and let the NCPD replace the Scavengers, and actually control Dog Town.

Hansen is an officer, and Hanz is a politician. The former prefers to go all out, while the latter is shrewd and cunning.

But now it is different. Hanz does not have V as a thug who can kill a whole family for 250. The external NCPD and even Night City have been controlled by Lil, and the Night City gangs are wholeheartedly following the big brother.

If he is smart enough, he will find that he has no room for maneuver.

He once thought that Burger King would be the big-headed mercenary who came to Dog Town to help him open up the situation. Now he must accept a reality:

The big-headed mercenary he once thought has the ability to completely replace Hansen, and can even do better than him-

Once Dog Town is taken, Taipingzhou may even have a chance to redevelop!

Of course, he can also choose to continue working for the company. Maybe the company is planning a big conspiracy against Burger King, and it just needs him.

In Taipingzhou, as NCPD announced the restart of the local branch, locals launched riots and protests--

However, without the support of the Voodoo Gang, they could not even achieve urban communication under the high-intensity communication jammer.

Mercenaries and lone wolves who were able to break through the interference and communicate did not dare to risk being discovered to provide communication security for people. Without security, people are individuals, and individuals cannot fight against organized groups.

The flag of Night City was raised in the NCPD Taipingzhou branch. River and the old man were at the door, looking at the retreating Taipingzhou locals and the dilapidated scene of Taipingzhou, and they were full of emotion--

"I said. We are promoted, but why do we feel like we have been demoted?"

Old Han's emotion is not unreasonable. He dreamed of getting promoted, but he didn't expect to come to Taipingzhou after being promoted.

Yes, from now on, the two of them will manage the local police station and police force and become branch sheriffs.

Bang——

Valentino's Mackinaw pickup truck stopped at the square. A Vortex Gang member wearing an engineering exoskeleton staggered to put a box as tall as a person in the temporary warehouse area, cursing and saying something unknown.

The Six Street Gang drove their armed taxis to guard the area. Although the tactical equipment on their bodies was cheap, they were indeed armed to the teeth, including bulletproof plates, tactical goggles, and military firearms.

As for the paint, the most common 666 pattern in the past has become a variety of hamburgers with 666 in them. It is a bit weird, a bit blatant, and a bit swaggering, but it does have unparalleled suppression power on other criminals.

The Tiger Claw Gang rode motorcycles between various strongholds as mobile patrol security to ensure that every block is under control——

Even drug addicts who were high and didn't leave the restricted area would be shot on the spot.

Looking at this scene, the two NCPD officers felt more and more weird:

It's called an NCPD branch, but in fact there are only two of them here, and the others are outsourced to their old rivals in Night City.

To a certain extent, they do a better job than their colleagues in Night City.

It's strange, but there is no "corruption" among the gang members here. Criminal behavior is really a heavy blow, and there are no exceptions.

"It feels like a commander without troops." Old Han's thoughts are a little subtle, "But it's better than being on top, right?"

"Much better--"

River shook his head and smiled at the tower crane in the distance.

The abandoned tower crane full of rust was powered on at once, and the indicator lights lit up one by one. The machine made a harsh sound and shook off the dust on it.

[Adecado Family Thor: The equipment here can indeed be used after repair, and the structure is intact. 】

【Adecado Family Panam: No, we have to do a good job of radiation protection. The radioactive dust is a bit over the limit. 】

Within a week, Taiping State seemed to have changed from a lifeless state to a promising future. Although it is still very poor now and may remain in ruins for some time in the future, they have taken the first step.

Night City began to take back the jurisdiction of Taiping State and began to try to pick up bricks and tiles in the mess and build the beautiful world they once envisioned.

【OCT Domain Announcement: All gangs pay attention and prepare to enter Dog Town. 】

River was stunned for a moment, and everyone paused for a moment.

Burger King finally had to deal with the biggest obstacle to picking up bricks and tiles to build the future.

Old Han on the side suddenly said: "Does this mean that we don't have to care? We are the police!"

"Haha, get ready to work."
