Chapter 500 Night Talk in the Afterlife
In the night city, the streets are deserted.
But the game spread across five regions, five gangs joined the fight, and magically stopped on their own territory.
The number of people watching the game may account for more than half of the entire city. Millions of people watched three mercenaries sweep across the city, and five gangs methodically formed part of the game.
The Mackinac pickup truck at this time - in fact, just judging from the appearance, no one would think that it was still a Mackinac.
But the graffiti on the body of the legendary Mackinac only has the characters "Mackinac" painted on it.
After Lille got off the bus, his main consciousness came to New York.
The empty streets of Night City instantly turned into a crowded Times Square. The news broadcast that the election results were about to be announced and the new president would be announced soon——
"Recently, Africa Alliance recognizes Somalia’s new ruler Legal rights, but the government is not the transitional government that has existed for more than ten years. "
"The new government stated that they launched an attack on the USS Truman aircraft carrier that illegally entered the waters off the coast of Africa. And caused the aircraft carrier to sink."
"U.S. Defense Department officials denied it and said that the aircraft carrier was undergoing maintenance at a military base."
"This incident affected the voting intentions of a large number of voters. According to predictions, the number of effective voters this time may reach the largest number in history. "
"According to previous nominal survey results, 53.6% of Americans think they need a tough president, while 44.9% of Americans think that as the world's most powerful economy, we should Pay attention to the increasingly fierce conflicts of globalization
And try to use peaceful means to resolve conflicts, including those currently occurring on the African continent, with the African Union.
As of 18:00, presidential candidates. The difference in votes between Barnes and Rodriguez is only 2.2 percentage points (50.2% vs. 48%)
The votes between the two are very close in many swing states. Public opinion is in a tug of war, and the election results may be determined in the next few hours.
If the vote counting lawsuit goes to the Federal Supreme Court, it will take even longer.”
The situation of public opinion separation is relatively serious. In fact, this is also the trend of the electoral system in recent years. With the economic decline, , unemployment is soaring, rich and poor are divided, and people's thoughts are also divided.
As the base camp controlled by the Atlas Group, the political atmosphere in New York is stronger than ever, with a large number of young people and workers marching on the streets. , the atmosphere is obviously much better than those in the swing states.
They are celebrating more - Stark Industries has announced that it will move its headquarters from New York to Houston, and the hateful warmongers have been driven away, and they are celebrating.
Lear suddenly felt a little emotional: Night City has become an underground emperor, and Marvel is here.
People are also choosing leaders.
Liel moved the blanket on his body. He was watching TV at home at the moment. Many people could take a nap after voting and then get up to watch the results, but he couldn't.
And actually, things in Night City are not over yet.
The underground emperor still has to have a coronation ceremony.
"Lille——" Mom brought a pot of hot tea and put it on the table, "Are you going to stay up late tonight?"
Liel nodded: "Let's see what Americans want."< br>
"You sound like an old fox when you say this." Maya smiled and sat next to Lear, "Why do you look a little tired?"
Lear shrugged.
I am indeed a little tired, but it’s not because I stayed up late, it’s because I got into fights from time to time.
Physical health is much better here, but mental fatigue is still there.
Seeing her son's appearance, Maya also smiled, then put her arms around Lille's shoulders, and the mother and son dangled back and forth.
“You are my pride.”
Liel scratched his nose with his finger, a little embarrassed: “It’s not over yet, the election.”
“ This isn't about elections, presidents, or power." Maya paused and looked at the TV.
Most of the time, she didn't understand Lear's thoughts at all. Ever since Lear woke up, he was completely transformed, both mentally and physically.
Being beside Lille, she also knew about the battles taking place in New York, and she also unconsciously understood the battles taking place overseas.
As an immigrant from Latvia, she does not think like others that war is a frivolous thing, as if it is just a game on the sandbox.
Fools always think that war is just that, and that they always win, win, win.
The fact is that human beings are quite vulnerable to the same kind of malice, and malice will spread and be contagious. Lille is now a person who may be directly attacked by a lot of malicious people at any time.
But that’s how it is to raise a child. If you are lucky, you will see him walking the same path as you, becoming like you, and then taking your experience with him, he will go far in the pursuit of happiness. Some.
If you have bad luck, you have to learn to let him go in worry.
Maya fell into memories: "You are just like your dad, you never complain, you are always energetic, you always work hard, you always try to make things better."
Lear said nothing. He had never seen the father here, but the father in his previous life was also this kind of person.
What's even more coincidental is that my mother in my previous life also said the same thing.
Sometimes I always feel that my two lives are a bit blurry.
Liel watched TV for a while and suddenly said: "You are the reason why I work so hard. I hope that the people who love me and the people I love can live happily in the world."
Maya seemed a little sleepy, rubbed her eyes and smiled: "You and your dad are exactly the same, but when it's time for you to say this to the girl who is attracted to you, you can't stutter, and you can't stutter. Just like your dad."
As she spoke, she fell asleep.
Lear stared at the TV, preparing to actively switch his consciousness to Night City.
The popular election has begun, and all he can do is wait for the results, but he still needs to finish the work in Night City.
【Switch main consciousness? ]

[Consciousness switching. 】
Three mercenaries walked into the Afterlife Nightclub.
Roger leaned against the bar, holding a drink in one hand and expressing welcome with the other.
"What music do you all like to listen to? Today is a special case. Even if you like old-fashioned disco music, the speakers will be turned on for you."
As soon as he returned here, Lille felt My whole body hurts, but I have to say that it would be better to stay at home.
"The sound is good, but it would be even better if people sang." Lille took Jack and V to sit in front of the bar, and put Muramasa under the table with a snap, "For example, let's put that rock star Kerry Orodine please come over.”
Rogge glanced meaningfully at Muramasa on the ground, but didn't ask anything.
"Haha, if you had told me earlier, he might be happy to come over. It's too late now. What would you like to drink?"
Liel waved his hand and said before Jack and V could speak: "Come first. Two cans of engine oil, tell the people outside the door to come in one by one and help me pull a thread, I We have to deal with this thing at hand."
After that, he looked at Jack and V: "It is medically necessary to adjust the prosthetic body first, and then drink."
The two of them felt suffocated. He was panicked, but he still listened to the advice, lying on the bar with a dead look on his face, holding his head and waiting for Lear's instructions.
"It has been prepared for you a long time ago. I will go and help you deal with those people first. Don't let them wait too long."
After Rogge said that, he walked out the door.
Liel pulled out a line from the bar and connected it to the neural interface. He wanted to interrogate Muramasa first.
Information is very valuable.
"Xiao Lizi!" V suddenly interrupted Lille and waved his hand in front of him, "Is there anyone else outside? What are you doing?"
Lear glanced at her: "You don't need to know too much about things that use your brain, just wait and open the interface."
Where the two of them were not paying attention, Jack secretly looked at Rogge's back. Muttering:
“Does this mean Rogge is our agent?”
After muttering, he stopped V who was about to show off to Lille: “V! You Do you know what legends Rogge had?"
"I don't care!"
