Chapter 292: What does NCPD protect?
Watson North District Blockade, NCPD has been notified to set up a blockade here as always, heavy armored vehicles and police drones are already in place.
But they were not notified to enter.
If nothing else happens, the Terrorist Mobile Team will intervene immediately. After they deal with the most threatening guy, NCPD will enter the scene to finish.
River was standing in front of the car. His police rank had been promoted from detective to sergeant.
Although the process was somewhat tortuous, looking at the whole process, River, as a police detective, tracked down the Tiger Claw criminal gang and eliminated the heavyweight leader Shohō Jotaro, and the whole incident also involved a lot of corruption within the agency.
This means that he does not want to participate in these struggles. Otherwise, if he bites the bullet and takes half a year's salary and borrows some money to visit the director, it will be more than enough for him to be promoted to police superintendent.
Because of this, his old partner, Lao Han, was sighing in the car right now -
The police rank was only a small promotion, and there was almost no change in his position.
“Alas, the best opportunity was missed all because of someone’s stupid head!
Now, guard the whirlpool gang in the gun battle. Oh no, it’s an artillery battle now. Pity my old arms and legs, don’t get killed by stray bullets."
River held his hands and said helplessly: " Can you be more serious? How long have you been talking about this? "
"Don't you think about it? I missed a good opportunity this time. I don't know when I will be promoted next time. Maybe
there will be some fun in catching the lizard man! But I'm afraid that if you are like this, even if you catch the lizard man, you will only be promoted to one and a half levels! "
River glanced at Old Han and took two steps forward, further away from the car.
Seeing this, Old Han's voice became louder and he continued to mutter:
"Oh, some people never cherish the opportunity for promotion."
River walked to the man on duty next to him. Although the position of the new man has not changed, the promotion of the police rank has given him more people.
Some new people.
This newcomer is quite young and has just graduated from the police academy. The body armor, copperhead rifle, and police hat are all meticulously placed where they should appear, just like their meticulous owners.
Seeing River approaching, he immediately put the gun to his side and saluted River.
"Okay, we don't pay attention to this on site."
"Okay, sir!"
The newcomer held the gun to his chest again, and River looked at him like this He looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't -
Especially when he saw the look in Lao Han's eyes: He was like this back then!
It seems really stupid now.
"Do you smoke?" River took out a cigarette case from his pocket, but the newcomer shook his head, "It's better if you don't smoke. Elmar's name is hard to pronounce.
Before Are you working as an investigator? Why, are you uncomfortable working there?" Elmar's cheerful expression showed some gloom, and he nodded: "This is not allowed to be investigated. If you don’t want to investigate, you might as well go to the streets and become a patrolman.”
River felt more and more that this kid looked a lot like him.
As an investigator, you are not allowed to investigate anything, but in fact, even if you are transferred to a patrol officer, you can't do anything.
Most of the time I just clean the battlefield.
So River patted Elmar on the shoulder: "Actually, we patrol officers are about the same. You'd better be mentally prepared."
"But at least the bonus is easier to get. Right? If someone commits a crime, we will just shoot. There won’t be a leader calling me to ask me not to shoot, right?”
That’s hard to say, River could only smile bitterly.
Elmar didn't notice the reluctance in River's smile, and continued to say excitedly: "And you might even see the awesome Mackinaw when you go out on the street.
Sir, you are being spread throughout the bureau. Meet the mercenaries on the legendary Mackinac. What was going on that night? "
"I would say, Dagong is like that!" Old Han shouted in the car, "Without the lizardmen, I guess with ten or eight Mackinacs, you idiot might still have a chance to be promoted!
But, just dream! River! We have no chance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a Mackinaw suddenly turned out from the end of the deserted street.
Mackinac is just a pickup truck product of Tingwei Company. It has been mediocre for so many years, but it is different now.
Especially when this car appears in the most tense and heated area of Night City
The policemen around the blockade who are still waiting for instructions are obviously nervous and unconsciously He put away his smile and straightened up.
McKinac had never had a direct conflict with the NCPD, but just looking at this car made them nervous.
But it’s not just one——
One after another, the lights overshadowed the street lights, slowly and firmly heading towards the blockade!
It’s a whole fleet of cars! It’s eight Mackinacs out of ten!
The car lights overshadowed the lighting, but as the car lights passed through the lighting area of the street lights, these lights hit the vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun, showing the barrel and gun body one by one. .
Then there are the distinctive graffiti on the car body, as well as the words that the graffiti uniformly bears: Adecado.
Of course, there are also a large number of burger sandwich elements, which are a popular element in Night City recently.
[NCPD operator: Attention all units, there is a situation in the area. Witnesses said they observed a large number of armed vehicles driving in a convoy on the road. 】
[NCPD operator: Vehicle model Mackinaw Larimore, illegal modification]
[Police officer: The target situation is updated to 10-23, repeat, the target is at the scene, 10 -20. 】
The communication channel fell into silence.
"Gu"
One policeman swallowed and didn't know what to do.
They looked at each other and saw similar emotions in their colleagues' eyes, shock, confusion, and uneasiness.
The air seemed to freeze.
The armored Mackinaw at the head slowly stopped in front of the blockade. River patted the stiff Elmar: "That's about it."
After saying that, he put on his hat and walked towards Mackinac.
[Ding Dong——]
[Correspondent: Burger King]
[Burger King: Chief River, you haven’t seen your promotion in a few days? ]
[River: You’re not here to show off your team, are you? Where’s your pass? 】
[Burger King: It should be soon. 】
【NCPD Police Channel Communication】
[NCPD Operator: Attention all police officers in the area, further action instructions have been received. 】
[NCPD Operator: Please release the vehicles of the following NCPD outsourced members, vehicle numbers: NC-1102, NC-1277]
River quickly received the release notice, and the police behind him They were also obviously relieved and their bodies relaxed a little.
He took a few steps back, and the NCPD armored vehicles and mechas waved to him and stepped aside.
Wait a moment.
River suddenly saw two tattered Columbus freighters following at the end of the convoy. The bumpers were even crooked.
[River: Why are there two broken vans following you? Is it your person? 】
[Burger King: Yes, the car is a bit broken, but the person is not bad. 】
The van also drove slowly past River, because it was an ordinary car. Through the glass, River saw David and Mann inside smiling at him.
That smile was so innocent that River's dusty memory was suddenly awakened:
It seems that I have seen this kid before!
I think I saw it when the bad land was sealed off last time!
The van drove through the blockade. River looked at the van and silently remembered the appearance of David and others.
Tagged Burger King Guy.
The Mackinac motorcade passed the blockade, and the frozen air began to flow with the traffic——
River turned his head, just in time to watch the NCPD watch the Mackinac motorcade enter the chaotic area. In the eyes.
I felt ridiculous in my heart: He is the police, but now he needs to outsource to solve the problem.
Who are the defenders of order in Night City? What exactly does the NCPD defend?
The convoy passed and the blockade was slowly restored, and River didn't want to think about this problem anymore.
River opened the car door, sat in the car, and teased Old Han: "I just counted, there are fourteen Mackinaws in total."
"You" Old Han After holding it in for a long time, he said, "Awesome!"
Unfortunately, they all knew that Mackinac had nothing to do with them this time.
“But it seems that this is the end of the matter, and the Terrorist Mobile Team is no longer here.”
boom!
Before he finished speaking, the fourth giant mushroom cloud rose tonight, lighting up the entire Watson North District!
[NCPD operator: The threat level in the area continues to rise, and the violent terrorist mobile team has been dispatched! 】
River suddenly raised his head, and five Manticore aerial vehicles passed high in the sky!
The Terrorist Mobile Team is also dispatched!
