Chapter 555 Batty Hotel
In Taiping State, due to the war between New America and Night City, the tourist resort and world financial trade block that were originally under development were shattered by the war.
Investors have withdrawn their capital, and unfinished buildings are everywhere. The locals have no place to go due to land annexation, and now they have no jobs. Xiti is a homeless person, and because of the increasingly chaotic nature of this place, homeless people from other places and Outlaws also began to pour in, and the place became increasingly chaotic.
Later, because Arasaka returned to Night City, although only Northern California was left that had not been recovered, the New United States still took care of this biggest competitor, and considering that the war had lasted for several years, it had no relationship with Night City. The city signed the Alvin Agreement and declared a ceasefire.
Since then, some companies have wanted to restore local order and continue to invest, but they have been resisted. The voodoo gang and locals beat them to pieces until the NCPD planned to take the lead in making some attempts to restore order. , but triggered a larger-scale riot——
Later, Night City did not consider restoring local order, and directly removed Taiping Prefecture from Night City's jurisdiction, turning it into a truly lawless place.
To be honest, this move was interpreted as irresponsible by the outside world, but in fact, if the NCPD teamed up with the company to move in, it would either be impossible to capture this place, or many people would definitely die, and the war would expand. range of risks.
Given the chaos in this place and the situation in Night City at the time, giving up was actually a good choice.
There are no police or companies here. If there are still people who plan to make a living or engage in illegal activities here, they can hire mercenaries themselves.
However, most people are barely living in chaos, but the entire area has not evolved into a super chaos. There is only one reason:
A very feared local gang maintains basic order.
What is the basic order? For example, a shopping mall that is still functioning normally.
The Badi Hotel, the base camp of the Voodoo Gang, is located on the tourist coast. It is a splendid and unfinished building.
There is an orderly market here, and you can even see live whole chickens. This kind of fresh meat with unknown origins is a first-level prohibited item in Night City. The main reason for the ban is that it is a future product. Biological products that have been quarantined may carry fatal diseases -
Mainly bird flu. There has been an outbreak of bird flu in Night City, so there are no birds here and the sky here is very clean.
Of course it's not today -
"Hurry up!"
Bridget of the Voodoo Gang is a black woman with short hair, wearing earrings with a very undersea religious flavor, and a uniform A close-fitting hacker suit, this kind of suit is very effective in dissipating heat. The special heat-conducting outer layer and the semiconductor in the interlayer can achieve a heat dissipation effect that far exceeds that of artificial skin, and does not require the addition of implantable prostheses.
Outside of the hacker suit, she wore a thick leather windbreaker. The outer skin of the clothes was made of tough synthetic fiber, which had a certain bulletproof effect. There was also a circuit board in the interlayer, which could act as a real-time system when necessary. The design of the communication components is full of ingenuity, and the materials are not cheap. It can be seen that she is an experienced hacker, and her status is not low.
She is the boss of the Voodoo Gang. The mysterious legend of Taiping Prefecture exists like a shadow in the hearts of local people.
However, the current situation of this fear is not very good. The skin near the cervical vertebrae has been completely burned through and is filled with frizzy carbonized skin. The clothes are even covered with black scorch marks. It is obvious that they were burned by the instantaneous high temperature. Many The place has been burned through.
The Voodoo Gang is the fear in the hearts of the locals, and it is also the shadow that Night City is extremely afraid of. Yes, but the nuclear explosion is the sun, and the nuclear electromagnetic pulse is like a gust of wind.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up the incarnation of fear and almost losing control on the spot. If it hadn't been for the automatic defense of some advanced near-AI software in her head, she would have died on the spot.
The nuclear electromagnetic pulse was too strong, and the origin of the explosion was very close to the Buddy Hotel. The electric current followed the signal tower above the surface and burned directly through the entire Voodoo Gang facility. She happened to be still in cyberspace at the time. Work in.
A nuclear explosion is a small sun in the real world. It is indeed bright. However, because it exploded on the coast, the damage caused was limited. The main victims were the violent terrorist mobile team and the NCPD along the coast.
Nuclear electromagnetic pulse is a real storm in cyberspace, a storm that destroys everything.
This storm can easily sweep away any hacker who is still in cyberspace at that time, and she is no exception.
The Voodoo Gang stronghold located below the Badi Hotel caught fire on the spot. Many hackers who were with her in the cyberspace and planned to take advantage of the chaos were burned into idiots on the spot!
Without these equipment, the Voodoo Gang will have no way to maintain local order!
So they spent the whole night doing intensive maintenance: first put out the fire, disconnect the lines, put aside the intact servers and equipment, and then disassemble the damaged servers, check the circuits, check the software, Data repair.
Brigitte was very tired, her brain was almost burned out and she had to work overtime. She was still working overtime in a state of nervousness.
But she has to act more impressive——
[Data retrieval progress: 54%]
[Percentage of complete data loss: 33%]
[Database to be confirmed: 13%] It’s almost over.
Bang!
The basement door was smashed open with great force - it was a fat man!
A super fat black fat man was thrown in and hit the ground hard!
The fat man was dressed in fancy clothes and had a gold necklace around his neck. This thing was pressed under his heavy body and rubbed against the ground, causing him to be strangled by this thing while he was still sliding. Just a moment——
The huge fat man made a strange sound after being strangled, and his whole body looked ugly and twisted as he reached out to grab the gold chain.
“It’s so disgusting.”
As the fat man was thrown in, another sturdy black man walked in. This man had dreadlocks, and his skin and clothes were also exposed to high temperatures. The burn marks were just not as obvious as Bridget's.
If I had to say it, there was an external memory enhancement device near his temple, and the black packaging board was burned.
He was holding a pistol in his left hand, and his body was covered in blood. It looked like he had gone through a battle, with some intensity, but that was just some intensity.
Placid, the second-in-command of the Voodoo Gang.
"Good job." Brigitte grabbed the pistol on the table and walked towards the fat man.
There have been too many changes in Night City these days. In fact, they were involved in many of them. The fat man in front of them was their middleman-Dexter Deshawn.
But when something happened, he wanted to run away just like last time.
How could it be possible to let him run away?
Not to mention anything else, not even a reward was given.
Dexter comically pulled away the gold necklace that was strangling his neck. He suddenly lost control of his strength and caused the necklace to break on the spot. Before he could feel sorry for the money, Brigitte's pistol It hit him on the chin——
Dexter reacted quickly now: "I'll tell you whatever you want to know! I'll tell you everything!"
"Of course you will. , ranyon, but you have to pay something for leaving without saying goodbye.”
Bang!
The bullet directly hit Dexter's shoulder, and the power of the large-caliber pistol directly punched a hole in his shoulder. Placid then kicked him!
Before Dexter could scream in agony, his entire right hand, including his shoulder and prosthetic limb, was violently kicked off and flew out!
“Ah!!!”
Bridget put down her pistol in relief: “Now we can talk properly.”
“This place is the Batty Hotel It’s indeed the Voodoo Gang’s place, but how do you know they’re here?”
The Savage King asked sincerely.
Although Taiping Prefecture is in chaos, the places covered by the Voodoo Gang still have basic order and can carry out normal transactions, and there are quite a lot of them.
Bati Hotel is indeed a big place, but who can directly confirm it? After all, all places have stopped operating at this moment, and everyone is hiding in dark corners waiting for basic order to be restored.
For Lear, although the plot is not consistent with the original work, this thing is like the Arasaka Tower in the company square, there can be no big mistakes. The Voodoo Gang has been here for a long time.
For the Savage King: I'll go, this place is just a few steps away from the Great Empire Mall, no wonder the Voodoo Gang got so anxious after they robbed this place, they kept sending them spam emails.
"Information." Lille looked at the dark Bartee Hotel without looking back, then turned to the kid Gomet and said, "Boy Matt, are you short of money?"
Matt thought that He was just here to be a human monitor, but he didn't expect that Lille would suddenly give him a job.
This is the job
He was stunned, pointing at himself as if he didn't hear clearly:
"I fight the voodoo gang?"
