Chapter 339 Another Kind
Walking into the nightclub, a large number of mercenaries focused their attention on the three of them, and the scanners updated their characteristics again.
Outsiders don’t know, but the locals know how outrageous these three eldest brothers are: I hope they won’t get involved with them in the commission.
There are a lot more people in this place than usual - first come first served near the water, foreign mercenaries are not qualified to come in to find work, local mercenaries have this information.
But it’s not easy to make money.
"I told you to fucking come here! If you don't come for the operation, I will go out and kill you first."
"What? I can't protect myself? Just wait for me!"

In the open box, Lille saw a man who was about to expire lying on the table.
The neck uses reinforced components, but it has been beaten to pieces. It looks like it was cut out by some kind of high-temperature blade. The ports are charred and neat.
His companions gathered around, some squatting on the ground, some with broken arms. The captain was anxiously calling the phone at the table to contact the prosthetic doctor he could contact.
But
The people on the table will not survive, this is Lille's judgment.
Walking all the way to Rogge’s box, the Queen of the Afterlife has been waiting for her for a long time.
Obviously she knew everything about what happened at the door. As soon as Lille entered the door, she spoke:
"The one you just killed is called Arctic Wolf. The name of the team is Ice Hunters. They are from Oslo. It’s quite famous there.”
Rogge had already acquiesced that the guy was a dead man.
V sat down on the sofa and grabbed the tequila on the table.
“It’s not that good, except for playing some dirty tricks, that’s all.”
Roger motioned to the man next to him to take out a chip and put it in front of Lille: "They are not simple. If you are interested, you can take a look."
In line with the mentality of learning and expanding the database, Lille still chose not to let go of any chip.
The contents here contain confirmed information about the ice hunters.
This is a team that has been in business for more than a year and operates around Northern Europe.
Norway is a small country. The status of a small country that has completed a high degree of nationalization is not low in the cyberpunk world. It relies on rich oil resources to survive.
Although the properties of petroleum resources as energy have been greatly replaced by alcohol 2, the industrial properties still exist. Generally speaking, they are relatively abundant. Abundance breeds various problems.
There are many commissions, most of which revolve around the exploration rights of oil resources. According to reports, the employer is Su Petrochemical most of the time.
Due to the requirements of the combat environment, their prosthetic systems must be able to withstand severe cold and adapt to harsh terrain in the wild. This squeezes space for bullets and other supplies, and more space must be left to carry fuel.
This has developed their habit of favoring melee weapons and small arms. If there is a need for long-range combat, they will consider equipping combat vehicles.
Moving to Night City, their prosthetics have undergone certain changes, but they are obviously still not adapted to the environment here.
Experience in cold weather. Filling the database is good, but it won’t be used in a short time.
At the same time, Lille also noticed a problem: the two groups of mercenaries he has come into contact with so far are both from Europe, and both are from Northern Europe.
"It is indeed not simple. You are just young and energetic."
Rogge nodded slightly: "Sometimes you talk like an old man in his seventies or eighties, just like me."
Liel shrugged shrugged: "I'm just stating the facts. , I am young, but he is very talented.
Can you tell me about the news in the city? I know that there are many foreign mercenaries coming recently. ”
Roger had a strange expression: Are they angry?
They didn't smash up the company plaza.
“I guess this situation was caused by you.”
Things have to start with the big vote at the beginning——
Lille’s goal at the time was Biotechnology DNA editing equipment has indeed been obtained.
The way he escaped was to find a pure enemy, Faraday.
Faraday was investigating the Nightingale Project, and Leal portrayed himself as a super stupid young man who was also very loyal and helped the Rangers to express their dignity.
From the current point of view, not many people will think that he is the lizard man. The problem is that the operation involved a confidential device of biotechnology, and this device produced a powerful biological weapon. .
"Biotech is the inventor of alcohol-2 wheat. Pezo Chemical and Su Petrochemical are the monopolies of alcohol-2 wheat sales. They don't care how many biotech executives die, but the risk of technology leakage makes them We have an excuse.
We have an excuse to arrive in Night City."
V said strangely: "But we don't know the technology of alcohol 2, we are just a commission."< br>
"That's the case on the surface." Rogge looked at Lille, "Really not?"
Lille shook his head.
Indeed no, the seed distribution of Alcohol 2 wheat is quite strict, and the DNA editing method is completely confidential.
To get this thing, you have to either physically invade the highest-security locations of these companies, or start a cyber-corporate war with them.
Don’t Su Shihua know? He doesn't have to know.
"But you don't have the final say on this thing. Do you understand what I mean?"
V suddenly said: "So they want to call white things black, just to grab meat in Night City. Eat."
Jack thought for a while: "But why? Which piece of meat do they want to eat?"
" Good question," Roger paused. , "Everyone knows that every company wants to control the world, but no one knows exactly what they want to do now.
So if you want to know the answer to this question, you can only ask the CEOs yourself."
Night City is not a big place but has a lot of things. Since Lille began its activities, biotechnology has been in bad luck. Executives have been killed, reputations have plummeted due to leaks of experimental secrets, and a lizard ran out of the building.
Military technology was violently beaten in the city center, with a large number of combat personnel casualties. Senior officers were killed at the border checkpoint, a helicopter was shot down, and the Centaur mecha was even more impressive in the city center. .
Arasaka Company was violently beaten by network surveillance, and a small piece of the Soul Killer was taken away for research.
On the surface, Kang Tao did not suffer any serious injuries. In fact, they had been shrouded in accidents since the Atlas vote. They were also attacked by Arasaka and Junke when they passed through the border checkpoint. Suspicions are now being secretly targeted.
In the end, Su Petrochemical used this excuse to get into trouble with Peizhuo Petrochemical. If the troops couldn't get through, would it be okay to let some immigrants over?
All the five major companies have had rare big problems and big news.
Perhaps Su Petrochemical is not the only one that has come to mind. Local companies have been in bad luck, and a lot of things have been exposed. Which company doesn't want to know the latest developments of its competitors?
Rogge continued: "The good news is that now rich people are willing to spend money. The bad news is that work is more dangerous.
And just like the idiot at the door, he smells like a foreigner. There is always something unruly about it.”
"Is there anyone famous?" Jack asked the question he was most concerned about, "That's...you know, Old Snake, Black Hand."
Roger smiled: "It's hard to say, but If you met them, would you go up and ask for an autograph?"
"That's not true."
"They are mercenaries, not celebrities. If they met, you wouldn't? Feeling happy.”
That’s true.
People admire these legendary lone wolves, not just because they talk nicely to their juniors and even give them autographs.
I admire them because they have done shocking things, but mercenaries have employers, and it is a life-and-death struggle.
The most famous Morgan hacker was hired to attack Arasaka Tower and is admired by others, but in fact, his employer was another infamous company, Military Technology.
Maybe some famous mercenaries have been hired?
Jack used to be full of fantasies about these big guys, but now, the fantasies are not that far away for him.
Rogge looked at Lille: "The situation is very complicated now. If something like this happens here in the next life, no one will take the risk and break in.
It's hard to say about other places. I suggest you be more active recently. This is not just my hope."
Liel took a deep look at Rogge: "If conditions permit, I think so too."
"Very good - you. This young man is smart enough. It's easy to talk to you. If you have any trouble, just tell me and I'll help you.
You help me and I'll help you. That's how Night City is. "
After saying that, a mercenary walked into the box and said something to Rogge.
Almost at the same time, Lille received a call from an old acquaintance.
[Contact: Morton "Sergeant"]
[Sergeant Morton: There is a job, our place in Santo Domingo has been taken away! 】
[Sergeant Morton: Urgent, come here now! 】
Rogge looked at Lille: "It seems that you have also received the message. The Sixth Street Gang's place has been smashed. The person who did this job said that he will pay the protection fee in the future.
I heard that you I helped the sergeant deal with a traitor before, but it seems that he didn't deal with it properly himself.
He’s blocking people there now.”
“This guy is quite interesting.” Jack smiled, “He even asked us to do some work for him.”
"Why not, you are the best in town."
Night City is a place where there is no profit and no early start. Strictly speaking, the only time the Burger King Squad faced off against the Sixth Street Gang was on official business.
Not only do they have no grudge against Sergeant Morton, but their relationship is generally quite good - the Sixth Street Gang contributed a lot of start-up capital.
Liel stood up from the sofa.
Now that he knows what the situation is, he really has to help.
There are enough companies in Night City and it is urban enough, so we still need to control it.
"But this feels quite strange." Jack said, "I used to fight to death with the Sixth Street Gang, but now I still work for them when I have nothing to do."
"We are mercenaries." Lear shrugged shrugged.
“Work only for money?”
“Of course not, we are another kind of——” Lear patted Jack on the shoulder, “Work for yourself, so we A group of people, no competitors, get in the car and explain to you slowly."
The three of them walked out of the box, and Jack walked to the door of the afterlife and suddenly took out a booklet:
"The Enforcer's Handbook" - by Morgan Blackhand.
This scene was seen by V: "You don't really want to ask him for an autograph, do you!"
"No, no! I just want to write a reference like this in the future. "
Looking at the backs of the three people leaving the nightclub, Rogge suddenly felt emotional.
She motioned to her men to pour her wine, and at the same time said: "Are you a little excited when you hear someone say your father's name?"
The man chuckled: "A bit, but that's not me."
Roger also smiled and started sending messages to several contacts.
[Rogge: I said they would take action. I can see that Burger King is not the kind to kill or bury someone. 】
Small update, a little awkward
