Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 37 Aunt Mei
Tang Yu and Jack found the destination for tonight's transaction.

Abandoned steel manufacturing plant in an old industrial area.

The abandoned steel factory is located in Chengbei Industrial District, or NID for short.

This area used to have everything, but with the end of the United War, Arasaka Corporation returned to Night City. In order to control Night City’s best channel to overseas parks, it started a big battle against Watson in the fields of commerce, manufacturing, and finance. massacre.

Until the factories went bankrupt one after another, Arasaka finally acquired Watson's Binhai Industrial Park and officially named it Arasaka Seaside Park.

Coupled with the damage caused by the earthquake and financial crisis in the past, most of the factories have been unable to operate and can only be abandoned.

Now the NID in North City Industrial Zone has become synonymous with garbage, disorder, and chaos in Night City.

The NCPD's threat level assessment for Watson North is: Extremely Dangerous.

It's getting late.

Before it was completely dark, Tang Yu and Jack confirmed the general layout of the abandoned steel plant based on the information map prepared in advance.

After careful comparison and confirmation, the only place suitable for trading is the steel forging workshop.

Rows of old workshops have a spacious internal structure, and various mechanical workbenches and containers are used as obstacles, which are very suitable for hiding and concealment.

Tang Yu and Jack came to the west of the abandoned steel factory, and the barbed wire fence was built as a fence.

The west side belongs to the open-air working area of ​​the steel factory, which used to be a flat cement plate pavement.

Due to long-term inactivity, wild grasses and green plants have eroded the ground, and the knee-deep weeds are lush.

The barbed wire was already rusty and dilapidated, and Jack tore open a gap in the barbed wire.

"This place is gloomy. If you say that there are ghosts in the middle of the night, people will believe it. I really don't know how those people from the Whirlpool Gang can live here!"

While complaining, Jack cut the wire, and the two were able to pass through the wire fence smoothly.

Tang Yu turned on the 'Dragon Fist' smart glasses sent by Lao Wei to scan and detect the situation ahead to prevent his whereabouts from being photographed and tracked by electronic equipment.

After inspection, except for the weeds all over the ground, rusty and broken lampposts and scattered containers, no electronic equipment in working condition was found in the entire open-air area.

Passing through the scattered containers on the open grass, I came to the large warehouse, but there was still no one.

The two continued to move towards the core area of ​​the factory.

Tang Yu used Longquan smart glasses to investigate while explaining the current situation to Jack.

"Tonight's situation is quite special. In order to prevent the leak of news, I haven't told you the specific details."

Jack waved his hand and replied with confidence: "Hermano, you know that I believe in you, and it will be over if you do what you say later!"

But in order to let Jack know what he will face later, Tang Yu still made it clear that the Special Operations Department of the Arasaka Company will snatch the prosthetic body, and that military technology will carry out subsequent attacks.

Jack shook his head repeatedly after listening: "This is too complicated. Seriously, if the military technology company doesn't come, the prosthetic body may fall into the hands of those company dogs."

Tang Yu said very positively: "Military Technology will never let go of this opportunity, because I know them very well, no, I should know their special operations director 'Aunt Mei' very well."

Jack heard that Aunt May didn't know anyone at all. He was born in Heywood and he didn't like company employees by nature, and he had almost zero contact and understanding of the company's senior management.

"Is it your distant relative?"

"That's not true. If I had this kind of backer, I wouldn't be working for Arasaka."

The "Aunt Mei" mentioned by Tang Yu is a joke, referring to Meredith Stott, director of special operations for military technology.

Back then, in order to investigate the attack on the military technology transport convoy, she entrusted Tang Yu to deal with the Whirlpool Gang.

At that time, Tang Yu, Mr. V and Jack were all poor jingle cyberpunks, after they beat Meredith hard.

The three of them swept the whirlpool gang and won her good appreciation.

Later, Tang Yu and Meredith dealt with each other several times, and the two of them were quite familiar with each other.

I ended up getting a good pistol from Meredith, but I didn't use it much, so I forgot about it.

Tang Yu felt that Aunt Mei's way of playing was a bit wild, but it was true that she couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and in the end she could only be blacklisted.

What he didn't expect was that Meredith would be promoted later, becoming the director of military science and technology, politics and diplomacy, and frequently appearing on major news in Night City, and she was in the limelight for a while.

The key is.

Meredith is very strong in execution, and always likes to handle things personally, and her attitude towards Arasaka is extremely tough.

So Tang Yu judged that as long as Mann followed what he said and found a channel to pass the information to military technology, Meredith heard it and would never miss this opportunity.

After all, she and Susan Abernathy have been true enemies from the past to the present.

The two passed through the warehouse area and entered the core production workshop area. There are rows of production workshops here, but only one of them is the place where the members of the Maelstrom Gang gather.

The Maelstrom Gang has a wide coverage in Watson, and its members are basically small team activities, with more than thirty people and five or six people.

And Tang Yu expects that there will be no more than ten members of the whirlpool gang participating in this transaction, and they will only gather when conducting large-scale operations.

A piece of military-grade Swan Westin is not very important to them.

Tang Yu and Jack found a hidden corner and turned on the thermal energy scanning function of Dragon Fist to check the rows of workshops one after another.

Through the thermal energy information transmitted by the lens, Tang Yu's vision became dark, and soon found that in the workshop in the middle, there were human-shaped color thermal images moving, and the number of people counted was six.

Tang Yu turned off the scanning function and said to Jack: "They are active in the workshop in the middle, six people from the Maelstrom Gang."

Jack carefully inspected the old guy at work, a military-tech kinetic pistol.

The Lexington pistol, nicknamed Justice Glory.

This nickname does not describe how powerful this pistol is, but that every street kid or cyberpunk who debuts in Night City will start with it.

Because the NCPD ordinary police officers in Night City have a lot of people, and they control the street gangsters.

Those who came out to hang out have more or less been shot by it, or have seen it show its power.

Due to the lax keeping of gun sources, many Lexingtons flowed into the market to participate in gang fights.

Night City has a high record of deaths from this gun.

In addition, the small size of the gun makes it easy to hide in your pocket for self-defense.

It was also when Tang Yu started cyberpunk.

Seeing the Lexington in Jack's hand now, he felt a little nostalgic, so he took out his JKE-X2 Kenshin pistol, handed it to Jack and said.

"Would you like to try this one?"

Jack looked up at the Kenshin in his hand, and said indifferently.

"The gun is a good gun, but the guy still knows how to handle it."

Tang Yu didn't talk nonsense with him, he directly forced Kenshin into his hand, changed back to Lexington, and quickly inspected the gun body skillfully.

There were a few more shooting and aiming actions, and I found that the feel and gun feel of the year were still there.

While there's no ballistics co-processor to aid in aiming, you can't go wrong with the feel of a fired gun.

"Except for some wear and tear, the maintenance is not bad. Why did you keep this old gun for so long?"

Jack looked a little weird when he heard this.
"You really talk more and more like my mother, and you smell like someone from here."

But his eyes looked at the Lexington very cherished.

"I'm more nostalgic, so my mother often asks why I have so many old things in the warehouse. I will tell you secretly that I still have the belt that my dad used to draw me."

Speaking of this, Tang Yu was silent again.

When attending Jack's funeral, Misty brought him the belt that he had seen in Jack's warehouse, and also knew about Jack's drunken and violent father's past.

Tang Yu put the cheap pistol back in Jack's hand, looked at him and said seriously.

"Treasure what's in front of you even more, this time I have to settle the important matter with Misty for you!"

Jack: "."
