Chapter 126 The Rising Sun in the Bad Land
“Sun. I haven’t seen you for months.”
An old Mackinac pickup truck temporarily changed to black and red stripes was running on the road .
Facing the rising sun, the wanderer's skin began to burn.
“Boy Neville, I’ll leave the tribe to you. Don’t be like that old bastard Hector and choose the wrong direction.”
Thinking these words in his mind, the wanderer lowered his head lower and lower. Finally, the car crashed straight into the guardrail on the roadside, and then according to the set program, the car exploded violently.
When company agents caught up, all they got was ashes.
The morning sun rises, and the Badlands begins to become hot and dry.
The wanderers believed in the fairy tale future promised to them by biotechnology - "chasing the sun to the end of the world", and eventually became unable to even see the light.
“But they have spent the most heroic day in their lives today. May their spirits be sublimated in the flames.”
Badlands.
Neville muttered to himself.
After a whole night of madness, the rest of the time is used to say goodbye.
The pursuit actually ended when Lille and the others crossed Heywood's bridge and arrived in Santo Domingo.
Technically, when Lille enters Santo Domingo, he is going home. He can control the traffic network here with just a glance.
From the enemy's point of view, this was a rather sudden incident, and the manpower on duty itself was not enough to search the entire city.
The scale of the subsequent riots will be huge, and the company's pursuit capabilities will be mutually restricted due to insufficient intelligence and their own agendas.
Intelligence agents soon got the news that Arasaka was suspected of being behind the scenes, which will further weaken the desire to pursue and enter the stage of strategic adjustment.
At this point, all they can do is immediately assess the damage, implement contingency plans, and then discredit their opponents to try to get more from the political table.
Liel sat tiredly in the driver's seat, grabbing the steering wheel, but feeling infinitely sad in his heart.
".Is that the last one?"
In the other car, Neville nodded: "Elton, like Cedric, is a legend in the tribe - of course, not as good as Your Night City standards.”
Obviously, Neville was talking about the Lear trio.
But what he didn’t know was that the standards of Night City Legends were not like this, and the trio was an oddity.
Most people will die in what happened tonight, and the difficulty of surviving and dying together are not at the same level.
At this time, the other two legends are already fast asleep - they still need further treatment, but Lille has already prepared emergency treatment, so just go to sleep.
As for himself, the effectiveness of the lizard potion was fading, and the super-speed regeneration had exhausted all the energy drawn from the nutrient solution.
The long-term impact on him remains to be studied, but currently it seems that there are no other side effects except that the system keeps popping up boxes to eliminate some violent symptoms.
Lille returned:
“The core of becoming a legend is not to make waves, but whether you live for yourself, and when your life comes to an end, whether you can Tell yourself with a clear conscience that this is your choice.
He is already part of the legend, tell us his story. "
"His story takes place during the Unification War, when Junko troops rolled through the Free State and a small group of Junko scouts arrived on his farm.
In order to prevent the war from burning to the farm, he gathered nearby farmers and killed the scouts——
But obviously, this will not stop the war from burning over, and I don’t know. What did he think, or maybe he didn't tell the whole story.
In the end, Junke still ran over the farmland, nationalized his assets, and listed him as a wanted criminal. ”
It's an old-fashioned wandering story, but this Elton is obviously a little too grumpy and doesn't think about whether killing the Scout will achieve his goal.
Or maybe it was the farmland that he could not return to for a long time that made him lose his mind.
Maybe he knew the result before he took action, and he just wanted revenge, just like today.
After Neville finished speaking, he felt a little more relaxed and continued:
"If he heard what you said, his beard would probably stand up to the sky."
Lear smiled: "I'm sincere - what will happen if he hears this?"
"Took out a large box of beer from his trunk, and then booed at the people beside him If anyone refuses to accept it, come forward -
'I promise to drink you until you vomit!' - Haha, you should really see how drunk he is! ”
After laughing, Neville looked at the endless bad land and suddenly felt that things were not that bad.
He suddenly began to understand the somewhat relieved expressions on the faces of elders such as Cedric, Hector and Elton when they bid farewell to their old friends.
If you don't die like this, but stay in a tent and never see the sun until you die, that would be too depressing.
"44, all dead, but a worthy death."
The old man has come to an end, and new legends have risen - now they must be considered legends, at the cost of 44 lives. "Hector said that you will be in charge of the tribe from now on - what are you going to do?"
All 44 good players died suddenly. Red Ocher's combat effectiveness is now greatly reduced, and it can even be said to be nothing. combat effectiveness.
Except for the elderly, children, and some women who have no fighting ability, the number of young men left in the tribe is quite small and they don't have much experience.
"Continue to do what we are doing, smuggling or something like that, but there may not be anyone willing to give us jobs like this."
Neville smiled bitterly.
After a heroic night, the reality is still cruel.
The Adecado tribe of Red Ocher is not known for its fighting. With so many good warriors dead, who is still willing to give them jobs?
Lear had been waiting for this.
"You don't have to worry about it. The most powerful big brothers in Night City are here now. Are you still worried about not finding a job?"
No job?
On the way, his phone was going to be blasted.
If a big brother with this kind of status can't find a job, then no one else will be able to find a job either.
The car was finally almost reaching its destination, and all the way from Lille, I saw red ocher converted RVs and tents.
"That's true." Neville smiled, stretched out from the driver's seat window, and shouted to the tribesmen, "Come and watch a few people around to see if anyone is chasing you. The company dog and the police!”
This voice woke up V and Jack beside him——
I have to say that Hector still has some discernment in choosing people.
“So now we need to take shelter in the Badlands.”
"That's it."
Liel nodded, and then continued: "Let's take good care of our bodies first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
V walked back with a snap. , looking up to the sky and howling:
“Ah——Why should we avoid it now? Lime? I want to go to the next life! Think of the way those people will look at us!”
Lil glanced at V: “That’s what the kid was doing.” Bantahou also avoided the limelight in the bad land, and anyone with a brain knows how to avoid the limelight.”
"Really?" V was a little confused.
"Really - Jack, I already reported to Mrs. Wells and Misty when I came here."
Jack scratched his head: "I was just going to ask this What's going on?"
V jumped up with a snap, and then shrank his stomach with a ferocious expression - the movement was too violent, and he suffered internal injuries.
“Ouch. Damn, I’m really seriously injured this time. How much can we get?”
Lear smiled coquettishly: "Would you be angry if I said I didn't have a point?"
Jack and V looked at each other and shrugged at the same time.
Lille mentioned this at the beginning of this time - the goal of this operation was not for money.
As for the core goal: whether Lear can recover, this question is not even necessary to ask in their opinion -
What kind of sick man can fly at a manticore and dismantle its engine? ?
But now Lear seems to have completely returned to human form.
Jack asked curiously: "What happened yesterday? You looked like a lizard? That was so fierce!"
V moved his butt directly to Lear's side Side, looking at Lille's tail——
Eh? Where's the tail?
Looking at V, he patted him with his hands.
Lear looked helpless: "Don't look, it was a state of emergency yesterday, thanks to the biotechnology equipment."
"So you are okay now?" V pinched Lear's arm again, "No. Ah, it’s the same?”
“. Any experiment requires time to study and sort out the results.”
V nodded sadly: “Okay, but it doesn’t look like you are doing that. I am very sick.
So I have no money this time - I really don’t know when I can buy a sports car.”
"Speaking of this - actually we didn't get nothing. Do you still remember that I had people attack the Impala Motor Company?"
Liel smiled mysteriously.
Boom——
There was a strong engine sound outside the camp, and it seemed that a car was approaching quickly——
No, if you listen carefully, there is more than one car. .
[Communication request: Old Captain]
Old Captain: Dad, the car is here, come out and see the baby!
