Chapter 732 Backcountry


Chapter 732 Backcountry

[Johnny: What? The world's youngest doctor, the chairman and founder of the multinational Atlas Group, the Doctor of Destruction who split the United States? ! ”]

[Johnny: I want to play with a girl! Find me a girl quickly!]

[Lille: You must be sick!]

[Strong Ni: I want to be afraid! 】

As Leal returned to the Marvel world and began to scan the intelligence and information recently entered by the automatic crawler and his subordinates into the master control, Johnny also followed suit.

Seeing this, Johnny lost control of his facial expression!

No, buddy, you are not a street kid?

But take a closer look: Lille was not born rich. In his youth, he was affected by a traffic accident involving an illegal transport vehicle and became disabled. After becoming disabled, he relied on his mother and father to take care of him. As a result, During the care period, my father died of overwork.

After waking up, I faced debts and physical disabilities, as well as the threat that my home would be annexed by unscrupulous developers, and even a fight broke out in the neighborhood.

Although the intensity of the battle is much lower than that of Night City, Johnny is not a fool. He even learned some rationality in Lear's head:

In a city where the law is basically functioning normally, in a city The worst kind of battle is a city where you use submachine guns to fight. Chasing people in a car on the street already adds intensity to the city.

Night City is not a place where crime is rampant from the beginning. Generally speaking, when a place where people live and work in peace and contentment suddenly starts stealing and extorting with impunity, the next stage will be robbery, armed robbery, Home invasion;
< br>In order to determine who grabs what territory, it will turn into street fights and gun battles.

However, the deterioration of New York gradually improved after Lille started to engage in owners' associations and workers' mutual aid associations like a fool -

Johnny felt a tearing feeling in his head: Leal was definitely the most powerful criminal in Night City, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to break into Arasaka's database and abduct him.

Even from the perspective of the Transformers world, he is definitely not the flawless "good guy" in most movies.

If you just look at the news in the Marvel world, Nari is really that kind of important person who is extremely capable but also extremely cruel, and it is difficult to evaluate whether he is good or bad.

However, Johnny could also see the history of Lille's fortune, Lille's "glorious deeds".

It was so glorious that Johnny felt a little ashamed of himself. He thought everyone was just a street guy. Dude, apart from guns and medicine, I have nothing but respect for my cowardly neighbors who don’t have much to lose, and “obey the law” honestly

What nonsense!

[Johnny: Tell me, a super wanted criminal and sociopath like you is actually a good guy here? ! 】

[Johnny: I don’t believe it, you must have a dark room dedicated to dealing with fear. 】

Lille has a black line on his head.

[Lille: You mean, people like me have to be afraid? 】

[Johnny: Stop pretending. If I don’t laugh at you, I will join you. Take us there quickly. 】

[Lille: Get out of here. 】

The data that Johnny read was already the previous one. In fact, after Lille arrived in Latveria, he was directly preparing to enter other worlds.

After closing the "pian sector" set aside for Johnny, the world in front of him became much cleaner.

The base where Lille is currently located is located in the mountain. The interior is like a castle, supported by a high-strength alloy frame. Exoskeletons and tools are used to dig walls and pipes directly into the rock and soil. There is very little movement during the construction. , the concealment is also good.

When Lille walked out of the workshop, there were two Latvian guards guarding the door:

Like all Latvians, the long-term lack of food and clothing made them more or less Most of them have chronic diseases or disabilities. One of these two people is missing a large piece of his face, and the entire abdomen of the other is replaced with a prosthetic body.

The limbs, mainly the fingers, can be replaced to varying degrees, leaving convenient interfaces for the exoskeleton.

This level of prosthetics is considered to be a medium to high level in the cyberpunk world——

In the eyes of modern people, the cyberpunk world is a world where prosthetics are rampant, but in fact Among the middle and high-level people in society, the transformation of prosthetic bodies is very restrained, especially the transformation of military prosthetics.

Johnny believed more and more, here, he must be that kind of capitalist that he is very familiar with but unfamiliar with!

But when Leal walked out of the room, Johnny secretly glanced at the sensor, and what he saw in the eyes of the two guards was a bit strange: Although the two guards looked very professional and motionless, their eyes There was almost no fluctuation, but Johnny felt that these two guards really regarded this job as a...

As a job with a strong sense of mission, and even mixed it with some. The craze!

It looks a bit like him playing the guitar.

[Johnny: I underestimated you, Xiaolizi. I didn’t expect you to follow Arasaka’s tricks. You did a lot of brainwashing for them, right? 】

A small line of text appeared in front of Lille.

Lear didn’t say anything and walked straight outside——

This secret base has all the occupations necessary to maintain life: gardeners, farmers, skilled workers, construction workers, security guards , researcher

It’s just that gardeners cultivate genetically modified animals and plants, farmers cultivate soil from Wakanda, skilled workers operate engineering robots, and construction workers use exoskeletons
< br>

All data will be transferred to the research institute for data analysis and optimization. Unfortunately, the level of scientific research in Latvia is not high. The main work is just ordinary operations research and optimization, and collecting experimental data.

These equipments are all familiar to Johnny. What is unfamiliar is the harmonious atmosphere here. Although it is tense, it does not complain all the time. It is full of energy but does not make people feel breathless

Is it really possible for anyone to have such a pleasant time at work?

Just thinking about it, Lille's sensitive sensors allowed Johnny to see the workers who were repairing the pipes talking through the wall:

"Hey, Philip, let's check in after get off work later. Advanced mechanical principles? ”

"Okay, it just so happens that I've been thinking about some weird technical problems recently."

They are even discussing enrolling in classes after work! Still said it with a smile!

Johnny, an uneducated second-rate kid, a super rebellious young man who skipped school and did not study when he was a child, did not work when he grew up, became a deserter in the army, and returned home to be anti-social, completely unable to understand what is happening in front of him:

What does it mean? Why do people like to work? Why do you like learning? Why can you still say it with a smile?

[Johnny: Your brainwashing skills are too strong, maybe you are the one I need to hit]

[Lille: Haha, some ignorant people are anxious. 】

Bang.

As Riel walked down the aisle, the sound of conversation stopped.

After this stop, Johnny felt that he was done: the situation was even more outrageous than he imagined, because he was surprised to find that not only the security guards in this place were highly prosthetic!

Even production personnel have to undergo such a high level of prosthetics? It must be the terrible capitalist Lille who has alienated these workers, these poor people

This will definitely prove that Lear must be a rich bastard. After all, what employee is not afraid of the boss?

What worker doesn’t hate his or her leader?

What?

Before he finished thinking about it secretly, Johnny suddenly saw the expressions of the Latvians who had stopped communicating and looked at Lille. It can be summarized in one or two sentences.

If it is just worship, it may be that the weak admire the strong; if it is just gratitude, it may be that Lille first took away their land, forced them to have no way to go and then brainwashed them; if it was just submission, then It may be that they have become accustomed to a life without resistance and suppress themselves from questioning an unfair system.

Or maybe there is only fear, dependence, and love.

In short, as long as you look at it with this train of thought, Johnny can always make up ten thousand reasons.

But the way the Latvians looked at Lille was too complicated.

It’s so complicated that it’s hard for Johnny to deceive himself. These people are brainwashed, deceived, and controlled by power.

All the way out of the fortress and out of the mountain, a quiet mountain village stands quietly at the foot of the mountain, where people on vacation are following the local customs of Latvia, singing and dancing together——

Although they have the most advanced technology and can theoretically enjoy the most extreme technological entertainment, they choose this least technological approach, without Mewtwo, no drugs, and no fully automatic airplane cups.

They are indeed living people who choose their own leaders.

This even made Johnny feel strangely jealous

[Lille: You said that music has a soul. How would you evaluate the music here? 】

【Johnny: Backcountry people don’t know what they are enjoying.】

[Johnny: But the music is good. 】
