Chapter 159 "Ordinary Smuggling"
Taiping Prefecture, the most chaotic area in Night City. After the investors went bankrupt and ran away and the war started, the NCPD had completely abandoned this place.
A group of hackers from Haiti established the Voodoo Gang. With the support of local residents, the Voodoo Gang became a real local snake, making this territory a lawless place.
The most dangerous mercenaries in Night City gather here, evading pursuit from the NCPD and the company, while waiting for the next valuable mission.
This is also the first stop of David's commission: arriving around a war-torn area called Dog Town in Taiping Prefecture to pick up the goods.
Since entering the Taiping Prefecture area, NCPD has been almost invisible. This place has its own unique order.
Lucy is always paying attention to the state of their prosthetics, and is wary of anyone who walks by them -
And David.
"I'm going .Why are there so many unfinished buildings in this place?”
Looking around like a curious baby.
Well, David has repeatedly mentioned that a typical Santo Domingo person, if his mother hadn't let him go to Arasaka College, he might never leave Santo Domingo in his life.
Even if you go to school, it’s just two points and one line.
As for himself, apart from watching Black Mewtwo, he basically doesn’t watch any news.
Lucy looked helpless: "Watch your gun, don't look around, concentrate, we are working now."
After being reminded, David quickly entered the state, with his right hand Place it where you can quickly reach the gun.
After walking a few more steps, David suddenly smelled a pungent smell - just at the corner ahead.
As he walked along, he looked in that direction curiously, and it wasn't until he crossed the corner that he discovered that there was a garbage dump.
On the garbage heap, there lay an undisguised corpse with its eyes gouged out.
David's muscles tensed up and he grabbed the pistol in his pocket on the spot -
"Haha, look at it, foreigner, I just said - give me money."
Not far away, there were two guys squatting on the ground smoking cigarettes. The speaker stretched out his hand to the person next to him.
Then another person reluctantly gave him a euro note.
"Hey, boy, let me give you a piece of advice. This place is not for rookies like you. Turn around and go back."
David put away his smile and shouted: " How to get to Dog Town?”
“Hey, this guy wants to go to Dog Town, hahahaha——”
The two of them laughed so much that they shed tears. It was as if they had taken drugs. Their mental and physical states were obviously not right.
Two drug addicts were laughing wildly next to the garbage pile with corpses lying on them. This weird scene made David a little uncomfortable.
Lucy patted him: "Pay attention, and remind you one last time."
David nodded.
The sun is shining brightly in Taiping Prefecture, but everywhere you look, there is ruin.
Poor people hide in the shadows and indulge in the pleasure of drugs. Their overstimulated nerves make them no longer dare to look directly at the most beautiful thing in Taiping Prefecture -
sunshine.
Soon, David arrived at the target location-a parking lot far away from Dog Town.
As you can see through here, the so-called Dog Town is completely a city in a fortress - David has only seen low-level troops with military technology, but these stationed in Dog Town are different.
Armored vehicles, heavy weapons, and military prosthetics are all standard.
"It's no joke there." Lucy also swallowed secretly.
David nodded: "Were there any traces of being followed on the way here?"
"Yes." Lucy's face looked a little solemn, "There are more hackers in Taiping Prefecture than I thought. Much, I don't know if this is normal or not, I've never been here."
"Did you get rid of them?"
"Please don't talk nonsense."
< br>
David touched his nose: "I really don't know how you hackers work. I should learn something too."
"You should not learn something, but learn a lot of things. Ours The cars have arrived.”
Two Columbus Freight trucks arrived belatedly, bearing the Respectable Logistics logo.
In the car, it was the Mann team who had cooperated with Lille once——
David was the contact person. His character would not betray Lille, and the Mann team , are experienced mercenaries who ensure that things go smoothly.
Lucy sighed when she saw the car and came into contact with the hackers from Mann's team.
Acquaintance.
“David, listen up, get in the car for a while, and don’t say anything to others - Burger King is a cautious person, if you are not careful, he may fire you.”
“It’s not a hacker I know. I considered bringing her into the team at that time.”
In the car, Qi Wei said.
"Someone you know? That's easy. Let them get in the car."
Mann leaned out from the driver's seat and waved to David and Lucy: "Get in the car."
His modified prosthetic hand, which was a mixture of gorilla components and projectile launchers, had been blown up in the subway station and replaced with an ordinary prosthetic hand without any reinforced components.
David and Lucy each got into a car——
Mann looked at David who looked stunned and said: "Newcomer? Which film are you in? ?”
"Santo Domingo."
"Saint Domingo?" Mann was a little surprised, "I haven't seen it before. What did you do before?" "Uh, steal skill chips."
"Such a big span? From stealing skill chips to smuggling arms from NCPD and military technology, what is your relationship with Burger King?"
As soon as David opened his mouth, he remembered what Lucy had just said. Instructions.
So he immediately shut up and shook his head: "It's about work. When the goods come out, they will be counted according to the list given to you. If there is anything missing"
"Don't worry, we know what to do."
The car drove slowly to the designated delivery point, which is located behind Dog Town. Not far away, you can see Nether Dog loading and unloading goods.
An armored transport vehicle slowly arrived at the delivery point——
Mann and his team stood there, the largest man and his girlfriend Dorio stood in front, Libby Ka and Pyrrha were at the back.
The hacker was hiding in the car - and David, regardless of whether he was a novice or not, knew how to deliver goods or not, he was the first-hand mercenary hired by Lille.
So he had to stand in front of Mann - at least in a line.
"Rare - a group of poor novices can buy so many things."
The driver of the car also looks like a mercenary - but his two prosthetic hands are military goods. , and the level is not low, it is the kind that is not particularly large in size but has top-notch effects.
David turned on his scanner:
[Military technology gun control prosthetic arm (unknown model)]
[Description: The standard arm equipped for military technology assaulters in the Unification War. For specially matched firearms, the user can almost not be affected by recoil. Increase arm strength during fighting. 】
“Don’t look at it, kid, hurry up and receive the goods.”
Boxes after boxes of arms were placed on the ground, waiting for inspection.
Mann winked at his people, and Rebekah and Pyrrha stepped forward and began to inspect the firearms.
If you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.
For mercenaries of their level, the best technical weapon they have access to is a technical shotgun like Sadara. It has a simple structure, is reliable, and is powerful. However, the shortcomings are also obvious and it is very expensive. .
For most mercenaries, modifying a kinetic energy weapon would be a better choice, such as a killing shotgun with affordable firepower. The gun body is durable and has a lot of room for modification.
All kinds of pistols are more popular in Night City - but this is not because people don't want to use better ones, but because they can't afford them.
And now, they have obtained the arms.
MK31 heavy machine guns, 4 pieces;
Military-style Ajax rifles, 10 pieces;
Sardara technical shotguns, 4 pieces;
No recoil 2 Force M5 rocket launchers, 4 rounds of ammunition;
Javelin individual surface-to-air missile, 6 rounds;
SPH explosive launcher, explosive grenade, electromagnetic pulse grenade, concussion grenade, multi-function radar
The more they counted, the more solemn the group of people looked——
The things they had on hand and These things are just toys compared to them, and these things are really used on the battlefield.
Burger King told them it was just an ordinary smuggling.
But their understanding of the four words "ordinary smuggling" seems to be somewhat different.
David had no reaction at all - he just thought these things were pretty awesome, as if he had never seen them on the street or in the news.
So he immediately said: "There are few things, there are two heavy machine guns, 4 rockets are missing, and there are grenades"
"Boy, are you sure?"
The mercenaries responsible for carrying the goods wore masks and tactical masks and looked like gangsters.
Mann’s heart sank——
David shook his head: "I'm sure, something is missing."
Quite stunned - he just wanted to do things well and not live up to his elder brother's expectations of him.
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point, and the man on Mann's side moved slightly closer to the weapon.
But the person on the opposite side suddenly laughed: "That may indeed be less. Check if there’s anything else in the trunk - Damn, this car is a bit big.
You’re a soldier.”
The other party carried two more boxes of munitions—all of them this time.
After the confirmation, the armored transport vehicle drove away, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Mann slapped David on the shoulder: "David, right? What do you think?"
David looked confused: What do you think?
However, he felt that he could not look too stupid, so he said: "There are still things to transport, and the work is not finished yet."
The group of people wiped their sweat and loaded the goods into the car.
The little Rebecca nudged David lightly and gave him a thumbs up.
".You mean, the person who receives the goods is a stupid young man? Is he a novice?"
"The big man looks like a veteran, but he is at the level of a normal mercenary, and he has a pretty good body shape. They are big and have no brains.
There are many people in Night City who think that they are invincible if they have an awesome prosthetic body, and they may develop cyberpsychosis someday.
The leader was definitely a novice, but he was as stunned as a construction robot, a good prospect for the army—the kind who would not be suspicious if he was asked to carry out a suicide attack. "
These days, being a soldier is almost the same as being a terrorist.
Hands listened to the report from his subordinates, sipping his tea cup.
"Interesting - but I don't like it when someone makes extra money from me. "
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned. A large snowflake suddenly appeared in the right prosthetic eye, and then suddenly fell out!
He reached out to hold his eyeballs, and then they popped open, making him sweat profusely.
"I"
"There will be no next time, remember to remember."
