Chapter 36 Good morning, hello mom, Night City! (Posted in the early morning of today)
“Good morning, Night City!”
“Yesterday’s Dead Man Lotto, the final result was a full 30!”
"Thanks to the endless gang wars."
Pop.
Jack turned off the radio:
“Hello, hello, that’s bullshit. There were more than 30 people who hunted us yesterday, and I don’t know if 3 survived in the end.”< br>
“The lottery is a lie, what is the Dead Lotto? The winners are all high-ranking officers of the NCPD, and they are all related households.
You know, others say that they will hold a lottery "Control number"
V also responded from the side, but his condition was a bit bad, his whole body was stained, and the palm holding the gun was blown to pieces.
Now she looked like a wanderer, her clothes all in tatters.
The three finally found a long-abandoned house in Bad Land to rest for the night. The good thing about this place was that it had a sofa and a bed.
The bad thing is that there is nothing but garbage, which makes people feel like they are garbage too.
“You still have the nerve to say it?” Jack wanted to say this angrily, but he really didn’t have the energy.
“Why am I so shameless? Don’t you think this feels good?”
Jack crossed his arms on his chest and said angrily: "This is a smuggling job! We should have come through safely! But Junke and Arasaka came, and there was a Demon Lizard!
Damn it, you don’t even need that thing to deal with cyberpsychosis!”
“Then you have to pay more—who keeps us alive?”
V stood up from the sofa with some force, in a good mood, and patted Jack on the shoulder: "Okay, brother, to be honest, we did use your customs declaration, but look Now?
We succeeded! Don’t give me any money. For the sake of your honesty, I can’t let you run away in vain.”
After saying that, the prosthetic eye flashed blue, and Jack immediately received the news.
[Transfer: +5000 Euros]
Jack was stunned for a moment: "I'll go. So much money?"
The transfer made Jack confused - how could he remember? He is the client.
Soon Jack reacted: "That's not right, so you guys."
[Transfer: +5000 Euros]
V stood on tiptoe and hugged Jack: "Okay, brother, you have done a big job, but you haven't recovered yet, wait until we process this batch of goods You can still make a fortune, what’s not to be satisfied with?
Stimulate your life and stimulate your income.”
Jack was speechless. It's so useful.
And he doesn’t have that much money for this commission.
Jack sighed: "You know, V, you're actually not that much of a jerk."
"Look at what you said - we'll leave when Lil wakes up."
"This friend looks sick." Jack said bluntly, "Both you and him were in bad shape last night. I didn't see the car crashing in. If I hadn't been awake, the car would have been damaged."
"Well, let him speak for himself - but don't look at him like this. It’s really impossible without him.”
Lil is actually awake, but he can’t move or even open his eyes.
In fact, from the moment he put on this strange Sean Westan in Atlanta, his whole body ached.
And once he uses this thing, his body will enter a state of severe pain and become stiff like a corpse.
Fortunately, he got off the hook. This kind of pain that was supposed to drive people crazy could not have much of a mental impact on him - it was a wonderful feeling.
Feeling the stiffness dissipate, Lille felt that his whole body was numb to the extreme.
Listening to the conversation between V and Jack, he felt a little strange - had there been a slight change in the lines of these two buddies.
If my roles were reversed, I would let you know what it means to be rich.
"Ha——"
The body returned to normal, he took a long breath, and then spit it out.
“Finally wake up—don’t die before you reach Night City.” Although V said this, it was unpleasant, but it was clear that she really cared about Lille. "I can't die - but I will die soon. Where is this?"
Jack said: "In an abandoned farm in the bad land, V said that he would wait until you wake up before making a decision."
Liel rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Have you opened the thing and read it? I mean Your stuff."
Both of them shook their heads, but after looking at each other, Jack made up his mind - just drive.
The cargo owner definitely doesn’t want his express delivery to be opened, but at this time, he still cares about the stupid cargo owner.
The cost of this smuggling order is only 4,000 euros, plus the reimbursement of bribes is only 5,000. Is this a small amount of money that will cost you your life?
Jack is not stupid - he might as well find a middleman to sell it himself.
As for Lille, he just wondered whether due to the butterfly effect, the thing in the box was not an iguana.
But the thing in the box was indeed an iguana.
As Jack touched the switch of the cargo box, Arasaka's logo appeared on the cargo information strip.
“Here we go, an extinct iguana! It looks like it’s from the Lesser Antilles! We’re in trouble now!”
"So." V had other questions, "Arasaka chased us for several miles for a broken lizard, and he didn't even hesitate to fight Junke?"
"This is not a broken lizard, it is endangered. Animals." Halfway through his words, Jack felt something was wrong, "But it's really not like that."
Liel was still rubbing his brows, sorting out his thoughts.
If this matter remains unclear, he is afraid that he will not be able to sleep.
“Based on the current information, I can only guess that Military Science’s move to rob us attracted Arasaka’s attention.
Maybe Arasaka has been keeping an eye on the military science department these days, just to see which smugglers they will attack so that they can intercept them? "
Jack asked: "Why do you want to focus on military science? "
". I guess it may be something in Atlanta. Arasaka may think that what happened in Atlanta is serious. After all, the official news is that Kang Tao attacked Junke.
According to this line of speculation, they should be in great need of military science or other similar information now.
But this still raises more questions - why do they need this information so much. ”
Lear pressed his eyebrows and suddenly thought of something——
In the upcoming 2077, a scandal was revealed in Arasaka. They installed an electromagnetic ejection device on the moon——
But in this world, only ESA is the only organization allowed to set up and operate such a device.
Military Technology discovered this and reported it to the European Space Agency, which triggered a threatening review from Europe.
The current time is early 2076. Maybe Arasaka noticed something? Is that why they pay close attention to all military science news?
But the biggest scandal of Military Science and Technology is actually that they secretly created a black wall with NUSA. What does that have to do with themselves?
There are too many conspiracies and deceptions in this world. In it, the mysteries will not become less because Lear is a time traveler. On the contrary, the butterfly effect may set off a storm.
“On the surface, I think this statement is quite tenable. But, forget it, there is no point in guessing here.
Now, let’s discuss how to deal with the stolen goods here. Well - first of all, the iguana, who are you going to sell it to?"
Jack shrugged: "The middleman I can trust is the priest - oh, by the way, I guess you don't know"
< br>
"Who said that?" V suddenly said, "Jack, it's actually like this. I'm also from Heywood, and I have a good relationship with the priest."
Jack was dumbfounded.
He pointed at V and then at Lille.
"So. You are not even wanderers, you are from Night City?"
Lil spread his hands: "That's it, okay, don't worry about this, then we will The goods are shipped to the priest, but the smart weapons will have to be processed after a while
Fortunately, with your help, I have something to ask him. ”
So. From beginning to end, he was the only one who was kept in the dark?
Jack looked at the smirking V and the indifferent Lille——
< br>He suddenly felt that when he was on the other side of the high wall, he had already returned to Night City.
They were all profiteers.
Alas, Night City, hello to you, mother.
