Chapter 512 Two Kinds of Mayors
“Mayor Lane has started a battle to eliminate homelessness.”
Liel walked into the passage and came underground. This place is Ryan's favorite invitation-only Mewtwo club has a lot of perverted Mewtwo content. Compared with the perverted black Mewtwo made by Zhengfa Jotaro, it is not cruel, but weird.
This is the Red Queen's race. The Mewtwo Club was established to satisfy the weird fantasies of prominent people. It has wide connections and strong privacy.
But now, the ground is full of corpses with their brains burned off, and the broken cables are beating like they are alive, and sparks are flying, becoming one of the few lights in the darkness.
The LCD screen started playing news.
The distorted colors play the news of the past, the things that happened in Night City that no one cares about.
"The results have been remarkable. In the past month, reporters have counted a total of 654 homeless people who were forcibly cleared by the NCPD, many of whom were shot dead on the spot."
[Pelare S: Is this what you want? This is what Lane calls the art of statistics. 】
Lil didn’t say anything, and the octopus arm threw out a steel pipe and smashed the TV.
But there are also a lot of TVs here.
“The mayor signed the ‘Night City Technology Upgrading Plan’ last month, which aims to improve the living standards of Night City residents so that everyone can enjoy the beauty brought by high technology. "
"In the past month, the street firepower in Night City has become uncontrollable. Gangs have easier access to rocket launchers and high-yield explosives, and a large number of illegally modified prosthetics have flowed out of the black market, aggravating the situation. Conflict makes Residents live in fear."
"There are rumors that a group of gang members called the Bozo Gang have established a terror order in the civilian market and forced residents to meet the sales quotas of some company sales staff."
[Peralez: Ryan claimed that he would introduce high-tech technology, but in the end we all saw the results. High-tech bullets and explosives destroyed cities, disrupted people's lives, and made them live in fear. 】
Lil shook his head, blew up another TV, and continued to move forward.
“We know that in order to improve the environment of Night City and prevent sandstorms, Mayor Lane built an artificial windproof earth wall outside Night City, and the Pezo Petrochemical Company built a water storage dam outside the city. , this once became the most eye-catching super project in Night City and has existed for several years."
"But we recently discovered that due to the cost-saving policy of Pezo Petrochemical Company and uncontrolled scrapping. Business, lead detected in dam’s reservoir The amount exceeds 100ppb, and the mercury content exceeds 5ppb
In addition to a variety of heavy metals exceeding the standard, the levels of toxic chemicals including benzene, polychlorinated biphenyls and other compounds are also more than five times the normal value.”
"Although Pezo Petrochemical has repeatedly stated that the dam will not leak, the probability of severe birth defects in the Santo Domingo region has reached an unprecedented 33.9%, and the prevalence of chronic diseases is as high as 87.8%."
"And the PH value of rainfall in Night City is below 5 all year round, and the concentration of toxic haze particles in the air on foggy days can reach up to 300g/m."
[Peralez: This is the freedom that Ryan preaches, Pezo Petrochemical Free, but Night City has to live in their shadow. 】
[Peralez: His freedom is out of control. 】
Lille kept walking forward and found that the door of the luxury box room at the end was open, and Peralez was standing in the room, standing straight.
He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and he looked a little strange, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
This surprised Lille.
I didn’t expect it to be here.
The last news was played on the LCD screen behind Peralez:
"In 2076, Night City was rated as the worst area in the United States, far ahead of the violent crime rate and poverty line It has the largest population in the United States."
"This is where Lane was built. Knight, the founder of Night City, wanted this place to be a paradise, but it ended up being a hell."
Peralez's voice had an unidentifiable tremor that was inaudible to humans, but obvious to the AI.
Behind him, Ryan's body was shaking violently, as if he had woken up from a nightmare. Except for the muscles and organs on his face, he couldn't feel anything else!
"Fuck-ah" The numbness in Ryan's ninja body put all his attention on his mouth and throat.
“But people still flock to it. This is the scarcest resource in the 21st century-you, Holt, you two idiots will never understand!
That’s why, I It’s the mayor, but you’re not!”
Ryan's face turned red, and every time he spoke, there was an exaggerated numbness and tingling sensation in the muscles of his chest!
But he knew he still had to speak, just like he always did in public -
Hoot and Peralez were just showing up, but he meant it He attached great importance to this kind of speech, because he really thought that he might have such a day!
"It may be a lie or an illusion, but your dream is so close, as if...as if...as if it's within your fucking reach!" Ryan gasped after shouting, but he didn't dare to wait at all. He waited until he took a complete breath before continuing. He was deeply afraid that his energy would be gone and he would be unable to speak again!
“If you want something, you have to learn to do whatever it takes! This is the rule of this city!”
Lian tried his best and scratched his neck: "How is it possible that wealth will fall from the sky just sitting at home doing nothing?
How is it possible to be a dog by licking other people's shoes and still expect fairness? Is it normal?
How is it possible to lie on the sofa and dream? Are you really knocking on the door?
The company has the most advanced technology, the largest production line, and the smartest talents. They wear Chaomeng headbands all day long to masturbate and think about it all day long. It's either a big steel cannon or a small soft abalone. You tell me that such miscellaneous people should be happy and successful?
Go fuck yourself——"
After Ryan finished shouting, his muscles suddenly choked, and he fell straight on the sofa, looking at Lille with his big eyes——
Something bad happened , He didn’t even finish his words.
Peralez shook his head and looked at Lille: “Look, Ryan is such a person, it’s no wonder that Night City has become what it is today.
But you and I are different. I know you are not the so-called 'liberal fanatic'.
People can be educated, they can be changed, they can be"
Liel raised his eyebrows: "Can they be tamed? "
Perales didn't think there was any problem and nodded happily.
"As long as there is enough data and a complete model is established, human behavior is not difficult to predict.
If it can be predicted, it can be intervened. If it can be interfered, it can be controlled. The direction of society is not completely disordered.
Look, I know you have a lot of opinions about the company, but you can trust me. ”
Liel was noncommittal and silently scanned the current Peralez.
Domestication is a special word. Humans think that they can tame all lower-level animals. Perhaps this idea has also been passed down to AI.
For example, the AI he is communicating with now——
This blue-eyed gentleman.
It was obvious that Peralez was no longer speaking by himself. The sunglasses were used to cover up the fluorescence produced when a large amount of data flowed through the brain, and perhaps had some enhanced control effects. Lille was silently analyzing its wave frequency.
Jack and V did not speak. The current conversation was a bit beyond their knowledge.
But to be fair, although Ryan spoke like a bandit and a scoundrel, it made it easier for them to accept it.
What Peralez was talking about was obviously about building a paradise, but it always felt hard to accept, and it felt like a strange yin and yang.
Lille took out Yinglong from his clothes and motioned Peralez to move aside——
If this were said to him in his twenties, he would strongly agree.
The unruly people really need to be disciplined, it’s too much.
But he couldn't stand it, and now there were two unruly people around him, and he himself became a unruly person.
"Get out of the way, last warning."
Lian was happy, and Peralez sighed.
".Okay, then just think that I saw the wrong person."
In the slightly surprised eyes of Jack and V, Peralez stepped aside.
Liel stared at Peralez’s face and thought.
Now that we are here, let’s do it big.
