Chapter 29 Noble in the Cloud
Pang Xiang, an indigenous baby, was almost boiled alive by his biological parents because of his obesity.
Like the lucky few in the desert, radiation deprived him of his IQ, but gave him something unique.
That is power.
The combined strength of the two robots is two tons. However, in the struggle with Pang Xiang, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
‘Click’ ‘Click’
This is the sound of parts twisting in the mechanical body.
Pang Xiang’s face gradually turned red from suppressing his emotions, and a trace of indescribable animality overflowed from his eyes.
"You...go away!"
Pang Xiang's arm was like a red iron pillar, and he slammed into it. With a loud noise, the two robots were pushed back three times in a row. After a step, there was a burning sound of "hiss-", and a shallow five-finger mark was left on the chest.
"Radiated creatures appear..."
"Biological energy increases...combat mode turns on..."
The robot's eyes immediately turned red and converted to infrared mode, while its palms retracted into their arms. With a 'pop' sound, four high-strength carbon alloy knives were ejected.
“Don’t come over here, we will take action if you come over again!”
Tiepi was panicking, gritting his teeth, pulling the bolt of the submachine gun in his hand, looking at Zhao Ji with hatred, but Zhao Zhi A robot next to the robot had already turned on the guard mode and blocked him.
"Excuse me, what are you going to do to my dear men?"
Zhao Zhi's right shoulder sank, and he didn't know when he got up and put an arm on his shoulder.
His alarm system had no response at all, and the other party gave him the feeling of a man-eating beast.
The carbon alloy knife of the robot at the front is suspended in mid-air, unable to move.
Looking closely, a tiny claw is stuck on the blade.
When the other captains saw this, they all watched the excitement.
“What are you doing, stop!”
Director Zhou’s ‘priority’ is obviously higher than that of Zhao Zhi. As soon as he spoke, the two robots immediately canceled the combat mode and entered patrol again state.
At the same time, the gravity on the shoulders also disappeared.
Zhao Zhuo turned around, only to find that the supervisor and several captains of the elite team were just going out, and one of them was grabbing the fat man's head with a smile, not knowing what to say.
Zhao Zhuo's pupils shrank, this person was actually him...
"What's going on?" Supervisor Zhou frowned and said, it's okay to look down on these mechanical hunters, but at this point, what's wrong with this newcomer? There is no overall perspective.
“Director, they are smuggling military supplies and selling ordnance!”
“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense,” the senior engineer lazily put his arm on Pang Xiang’s shoulder. Said: "Tiepi, show the supervisor the document bag in the back seat of the car."
The supervisor frowned and took it, opened it, and found a thick stack of authorization documents, which contained information about the decommissioning of some armored vehicles, Contracts for rectification and sale.
If there is any problem with the document, just look closely and there will definitely be.
But if he really takes a closer look, he will have a problem.
"It's okay. It's a legal sale and there is a formal decommissioning process."
Looking at the armored fighting vehicle that was at least 80% new, Zhao Ji opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word.
If he dares to refute, it will be his turn to have a problem.
"Is everything okay? Let's go then. Fat Xiang did a good job this time. I'll treat you to a big meal when I go back."
"Have a big meal, good, good, good!" Fat Xiang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. , saliva is about to flow out.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, the other captains left one after another. Only a gloomy old man took the initiative to stop the senior engineer.
His eyes were dim and bloodshot, like an old falcon, and his modified right hand was a knife grip even more advanced than Keiko Matsushima's.
There is a knife holder but no knife, or in other words, the knife is hidden.
"Miyamoto, what's the matter?"
Gao Gong narrowed his eyes. After being promoted to the 'Dark Night Warrior', he could clearly feel the murderous aura in the other party that was similar to his own, but more intense.
This is a mechanical hunter who follows the assassination trend, and he is one of the top ones.
"I just heard that Gao Sang assassinated the leader of the reapers. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true," Sanzo Miyamoto said in a hoarse voice.
In terms of combat power, the Reaper Commander is two to three times that of the average C-level Reaper. No one knows how the high engineer killed it.
So there was a rumor that the leader of the reapers was actually assassinated by him.
As both the top assassins, Sanzo Miyamoto naturally wanted to meet this ‘new generation assassin master’.
"Haha, really?"
"Just borrowing foreign objects is not the right way after all. Gao Sang must have used Mr. Finger's 'medicine' to successfully assassinate him."
The senior engineer immediately understood that these 'rumors' of assassinating leader-level monsters were most likely spread by Littlefinger.
The advertisement actually hit me in the head! The next time you divide the money, you have to ask him to pay for the advertising fees.
"So, what are you going to do, prove yourself with strength?" Gao Gong said with great interest.
Miyamoto Sanzo shook his head and took out a bottle of 'protective cream' from his arms.
"What I mean is that now I also have evil ways. Coupled with my methods, the prey I will assassinate in the future must be above you."
"Uh- —”
It wasn't until Miyamoto Sanzo left that Gao Gong came back to his senses and smacked his lips.
“This old man is interesting.”
“Brother Gao, are we going to go hunting now?”
“No hurry, go back to the bar first, there are some I haven’t figured it out yet.”
The Rose Gasoline Bar was rarely empty today, and the high-pitched metal percussion turned into low jazz. The dim lights and the hoarse female voice created an ambiguous atmosphere.
As soon as the senior engineer entered, before he could react, he was pushed down on the sofa by Sister Rose. It took him a long time to struggle up, gasping for air, his lips were filled with a fishy smell, and his mouth was bitten. Darling, ordinary rich women don't have this kind of fighting ability. Is this the strength of a domineering female CEO?
“I am very satisfied with your recent performance.”
Behind the bar, Sister Rose personally mixed Gao Gong a glass of wine, her emerald eyes behind her red hair narrowed slightly. , holding a lady's cigarette in his hand, with a very charming smile.
She should be talking about 'desert skin'.
The senior engineer picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Has everything been resolved?"
"It was resolved, or in other words, it was compromised."
"How was it resolved?" Gao Gong asked curiously.
“I personally broke into his territory, put a gun to his head and asked him to sign a contract, and took some of his illegitimate children to play outside.”
Good boy, really. Boss, you can't afford to offend.
The senior engineer stuffed the cherry from the wine glass into his mouth and asked in confusion: "How come the security team has made such big concessions? Are they really willing to give up their autonomy and development rights?"
"How can they not give up," Black Rose sneered. Said: "The security team itself is just an OEM product. It is just a temporary authorization from the mechanical mastermind, wearing a tiger skin and pretending to be a real tiger. If it doesn't do well, it will be accepted as promised."
"Temporary permissions? You mean, the security regiment does not belong to the mechanical legion's legion list, but who can modify the underlying logic of the master brain? Even the top cyber cowboys can't do it."
" I've heard people say that the mastermind of Night City has the most powerful computing power among the nearby mechanical cities."
"Have you heard of the Cloud Nobles?"
Of course I have heard of it. The nobles of the planet who live in the circular space station known as the "City in the Clouds", the last main task of the cyber test site in the previous generation was to obtain the Ark tickets from these nobles and escape from this exploding planet. planet.
According to Sister Rose's explanation, the security corps itself is actually an unofficial organization that is both black and white.
The reason why they are able to prosper in the iron sand desert is that a certain or a few cloud nobles have used their privileges to gain control from the command library of the intelligent mastermind of the Evernight City. Temporary permissions for the desert.
Although this authority is temporary, under some tricks, the 'temporary' period can continue to be 'temporary'.
The only thing is that the content of this authority is to ensure the ‘security’ of the desert.
Once the desert is no longer 'safe', this authority will be immediately withdrawn, and the real mechanical army will replace the security corps, control the desert, and fight against the radiated beasts.
Once the mechanical army moves in, this huge gray chain of interests that has lasted for decades will be directly severed.
Very few people know about this matter. The only people who know about it are a few desert tycoons, oh, and Sister Rose in front of me.
“So, as long as they can keep this interest, they would rather let others sit on the table than let AI overturn the table.”
The mechanical mastermind and the cloud nobles maintain a balance state.
The cloud nobles and local powerful factions also maintain another balance.
The desert tycoons also divide their territories of influence among themselves to maintain a balance.
Once this balance is broken, it is like there is a problem in the food chain, and everyone wants to become a higher-level hunter.
Wang Tian thought this way, so he was eager to annex Black Rose's underground intelligence network to expand his power, so that he could use this as a basis to fight for better conditions from the cloud nobles.
Then he was beaten all over the head by Sister Rose, who had a deeper background.
"So, the nobles in the cloud would rather distribute their profits to mechanical hunters without foundation than to these local snakes."
"That's right."
Sister Rose's red lips are in the dim light She looked particularly alluring under the bright light, but the words she spoke were particularly strong and domineering.
She nodded at Senior Engineer.
“So, you must be the first person in this hunt.”
"No problem," Gao Gong grinned, indescribably confident.
Black Rose narrowed her eyes, "You don't need my help?"
"At least this time, no need," the senior engineer grinned: "I never lie to others, Especially if I don’t lie to you.”
Black Rose felt strange again. The person in front of her had always been very confident, but the previous confidence came from a kind of fierceness that no one knew, but now the confidence was more like her. Things that can't be seen clearly.
This made her feel excited for no reason.
"You have to think clearly, if you don't do this well, you will end up very miserable."
Sister Rose always keeps her word, even if the other person is her little wolf dog, if she fails to fulfill her ambitions , will also be severely punished, and even killed on the spot.
“I won’t say the same thing a second time.”
Gao Gong leaned forward and gently wiped Sister Rose’s lips with a tissue. The bright red lipstick looked good but not easy to use. , all a bit spent.
It’s not that the senior engineer has a high sense of moral integrity, it’s just that based on his experience in his previous life, some rich women and bosses like this tune. If you want to refuse, you will welcome them, if you want to welcome them, you will refuse them. If you really have no moral integrity, People turn around and kick you.
And this kind of silly attitude of you getting my person but not my heart, or what I like is your person, not your money, can scratch the other person's itch.
Sure enough, Sister Rose's emerald eyes were shining brightly, and her red lips whispered: "Then you really have to do a good job, otherwise I will punish you."
There is nothing wrong with this tone. The murderous aura was completely flirtatious.
"Then how are you going to punish me?"
"Kneel down."
"With this posture, do you think I'm the kind of person who just shows off his words?" Gao Gong was furious.
"Then do you kneel down or not?"
"Okay."
Today is the first update, let me take a break, and there will be more next week recommend.
I thought I could still save a few chapters, but I cried with laughter.
Next week we will continue with two more updates.
