Chapter 601: Picking up the bricks again
[Mr. Hands: Burger King, you did a great job alone]
[Liel: What's wrong? The data inside can be used to check taxes, but I didn't pursue the matter of someone planning to bury me underground. 】
[Mr. Hands: Okay, okay. Let’s open the skylight and speak frankly. 】
[Mr. Hanz: Your data is indeed barely enough to complete the commission, but your behavior makes the client very dissatisfied that I asked you to work. 】
[Mr. Hands: So next time.]
[Liel: Next time, you should consider accepting my commission. 】
[Lille: I want to clean up the Scavenger’s lair in the Long Beach Stockyard. The Scavenger has been having fun in Night City for so long, and it’s time to take care of it. 】
[Mr. Hands: Now you have turned your attention to the scavenger again. You must know that there is a reason why the scavenger is so big. People can't afford it.】
[ Lear: Stop pretending. You work for the Europeans and don't care about the life and death of Luxor Villa. It's just for some benefits, isn't it? 】
[Lille: There are three forces in Dog Town: the Nether Dog is the most direct reason for the existence here, the Voodoo Gang is the network defense line that cuts off the company here, and the scavengers are the reason for ensuring the daily supply here and maintaining the long-term existence here. 】
[Lille: Luxor Villa is one of the scavenger's biggest customers. If this place is attacked, it will only be a matter of time before the scavenger becomes a soft persimmon and is replaced. 】
【Lille: If you don’t take action at this time, you will just be the middleman for the rest of your life. 】
[Mr. Hands: There is nothing wrong with being a middleman. 】
[Lille: Then you should be the middleman now. I want to take down the Long Beach Stockyard and help me determine their location. It is best to lure people out. 】
[Lille: I'll give you 24 hours, and I'll give you 500,000 if the matter is done. You can handle it yourself. 】
[Mr. Hands: Let me think about it. 】
Lille has no doubt that Hands will join this vote, because if he doesn't, he will never have a chance -
Hanz is the middleman, and from The mid-level and senior managers of a giant company who were running away obviously had a better judgment of the situation than Hansen.
In the original plot, Hansen dug into an unfinished AI project of military technology underground in Dog Town, hoping to achieve a higher level of military strength and independence, and get rid of the current situation. Awkward situation, clear up and go ashore.
This all-or-nothing operation attracted hackers with ulterior motives, causing him to lose his life. Hanz relied on V to complete several commissions in Dog Town, sold favors to Europeans and NCPD, and severely damaged scavengers and wizards. Poison Gang.
After Hansen died suddenly, he took advantage of the situation and interfered in the internal affairs of the Nether Dog. Relying on the benefits brought by the entrustment, he had every chance to create bridges and let Europeans, that is, network monitors, replace the Voodoo Gang. NCPD replaces the scavengers and actually controls Dog Town.
Hansen is an officer, and Hanz is a politician. The former prefers an all-or-nothing approach, while the latter is scheming and takes action after making decisions.
But things are different now. Hanz does not have V who can kill a whole family for 250 as a thug. The external NCPD and even Night City have been controlled by Lear, and the Night City gang is following them wholeheartedly. Big brother mixes.
If he is smart enough, he will find that he has no room for maneuver.
He once thought that Burger King would be the big-headed mercenary who came to Dog Town to help him open up the situation. Now he must accept a reality:
The big-headed mercenary he once thought has the ability to completely replace Hansen. , can even do better than him -
Once Dog Town is captured, Taiping Prefecture will even have a chance to redevelop!
Of course, he can also choose to continue working for the company. Maybe the company is planning a big conspiracy against Burger King, and maybe it just needs him.
Taiping Prefecture, as the NCPD announced the reactivation of the local branch, locals launched riots and protests——
However, without the support of the Voodoo Gang, they would not even be able to achieve urban communication under the high-intensity communication jammer.
Mercenaries and lone wolves who have the ability to communicate through interference simply do not dare to take the risk of being discovered to provide communication guarantees for people. Without guarantees, people are individuals, and individuals cannot fight against organized forces. Group. The flag of Night City was raised in the NCPD Taiping Prefecture. River and the old man were at the door, looking at the locals of Taiping Prefecture who were retreating and the dilapidated scene of Taiping Prefecture. They were filled with emotion——
< br>"I said, we have been promoted, but why do we feel like we have been demoted?"
Lao Han's emotion was not unreasonable. He had always dreamed of being promoted, but he did not expect that after the promotion But came to Taipingzhou.
Yes, from now on, the two of them will manage the local police station and police force, becoming precinct chiefs.
Bang——
Valentino's Mackinaw pickup truck parked in the square, and a Vortex gang wearing an engineering exoskeleton staggered into the temporary warehouse area with human-high boxes. , still cursing and not knowing what he was talking about.
People from the Sixth Street Gang drove their armed taxis to guard the area. Although the tactical equipment they wore was cheap, they were armed to the teeth, including bulletproof shields, tactical goggles, and military firearms.
As for the painting, the most common 666 pattern in the past has become a variety of hamburgers with a 666 sandwiched between them. It is a bit weird, a bit blatant, and a bit swaggering, but it does have unparalleled suppression power against other criminals.
The Tiger Claw Gang rides motorcycles to act as mobile patrol security between various strongholds, ensuring that every block is under control -
Even drug addicts who are high and do not leave the controlled area will be shot to death on the spot. .
Looking at this scene, the two NCPD officers felt even weirder:
It was said to be an NCPD branch, but in fact they were just two serious NCPD policemen here. Everything else is outsourced, even to their old rivals in Night City.
To a certain extent, they did a better job than their colleagues in Night City.
It may seem strange, but there is no "corruption" among gang members here, and criminal behavior is literally dealt with with a heavy hand and killed on the spot, without exception.
"I feel like a polished commander." Old Han's thoughts were a little subtle, "But it's better than being on top, right?"
"Much better——"
River shook his head and looked at the tower crane in the distance with a smile.
The rusty abandoned tower crane was suddenly powered on, the indicator lights lit up one after another, the machinery made a harsh sound, and the dust on it was shaken off.
[Adecado Family Sol: The equipment here is indeed still usable, and the structure is complete. 】
[Adecado Family Panan: No, you have to protect yourself from radiation. The radiation dust is a bit too high. 】
Within a week, Taiping Prefecture seemed to have changed from a lifeless state to a promising future in an instant. Although it is still very poor now and may remain shabby for some time in the future, they have taken a step forward. first step.
Night City began to take back its jurisdiction over Taiping State, and began to try to pick up the bricks and mortar in the mess, and build the beautiful world that had been envisioned.
[OCT Domain Announcement: Attention all gangs, prepare to enter Dog Town. 】
River was stunned for a moment, and everyone paused in their work.
Burger King is finally taking matters into its own hands the biggest obstacle to building its future out of bricks and mortar.
Old Han on the side suddenly said: "Does this mean we don't need to worry about it? We are the police!"
"Haha, get ready to work."
