Cyberpunk: 2075

"It's finally here."

Carl rolled over from the roof of the car, patted the dust off his body, and moved his somewhat stiff hands and feet: "Taipingzhou, I'm here."

"I can finally breathe."

Oliver held the car door and gasped, staring at the Taipingzhou neighborhood in front of him: "Look, it's really different from Night City."

"Taiping Prefecture was planned as a resort in the past. Of course it looks different. If you look at the streets, it is difficult to see the super skyscrapers that can be seen in the city. Except for some buildings, most of the buildings in Taiping Prefecture are The hotels and accommodations, which are at the same height and are designed to be widely spaced, look like villas and are specially designed for tourists from all over the world.”

Jack looked at an abandoned three-story hotel with a crumbling structure and said, "It's just abandoned now.

,

"The sun is shining brightly."

Karl raised his head and looked at the sky. He could easily see the big sun in the sky: "When I was in the city, every time I raised my head, I could only see high-rise buildings and the GG slogans of various companies, or... Various lights, like Taiping Prefecture, a place where you can see the sun wherever you look up, don’t look like you are within the scope of Night City.”

"On vacation, if you design the environment to be like a city, it's as dark as a sewer, who will come?"

Oliver looked at the surrounding environment and looked to the right in surprise: "I can actually see the blue sea. I thought I could only see it from the dock area and other places. It was full of oil and serious pollution. It was black. The yellow sea."

"That's what it looks like when you look at it from a distance, but it's not much different when you look closer."

Jack also looked at the sea, which rarely showed a touch of blue:

“I heard that when it was being designed, Taiping Prefecture had plans to design a special isolation water purification process offshore to ensure that the seawater flowing into Taiping Prefecture’s beaches was suitable for diving and swimming. However, as Taiping Prefecture The development plan was shelved, and the design that was said to cost a lot of money was abandoned halfway. What we see now is probably just the sewage discharged from factories in other areas, and it has not flowed here yet. "

Listening to Jack's words, Karl thought about Night City's laws prohibiting the discharge of industrial sewage:

"Although I know that it has become common sense for those companies to ignore the law, I remember that there are quite a few companies in the city who are tit-for-tat. Don't they want to disgust their rival companies over the sewage discharge?

"What disgusting things are you doing? Are you going to blow up the other person and wait for the other person to blow you up?"

Oliver sighed and looked at the sea again: "Looking at the sea, thinking about the past scenery it may have existed, and then thinking about the place in Santo Domingo, sometimes, I really don't know what to say."

"If you really care about the life and death of the people at the bottom, it is no longer a company."

Karl said, watching V come over after checking the car, and asked casually: "How's it going V? Is the car okay? There are dings and chirps on the road, which is really scary."

"It's okay. It's an old habit. Even assembled cars are like this. It sounds scary, but it's actually like that."

V said nonchalantly and asked another question: "Speaking of which, are you here now and ready to work?"

"almost."

Karl turned his head and looked at a building complex. Taking the information, he introduced himself to the outsider V as a temporary Taiping Prefecture resident: "The most dazzling pearl in the central part of Taiping Prefecture was originally planned to be a commercial city that accommodates everything. The Great Empire Shopping Center for open business is where we want to go.”

"The most dazzling pearl, the shopping mall...

Listening to Karl's words, V looked at the abandoned buildings, but he couldn't find any pearls among the ruins.

"All I saw were collapsed and abandoned buildings."

V continued: "Just like a small town abandoned by humans in a bad land, it gradually lost its sound in the wind and sand."

"You talk weirdly about art, are you reading a book?"

"The knowledge inheritance of us wanderers begins with books."

V said, taking out a unity produced by the Constitution Military Industry: "So, the location has been determined, when will we start?"

"Do it?"

Oliver, who was next to him, looked over and noticed the gun in V's hand.

V is, while giving them a ride, he also plans to go with them to deal with the Animal Gang?

It turns out that what V said before is that they are all friends and don't need to worry about so much. It not only means that he is not afraid of gang members and can send them to their destination, but it also means that he is ready to go together?

Jack watched V's performance from the side and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Regarding V, for some reason, Jack felt that he was very compatible with him and believed in his abilities.

It feels like V's joining is not a big deal.

Oliver stared at V, looked at him, but didn't say anything.

Karl, on the other hand, naturally threw a few things at V.

"Then get ready first."

"This is...Fuerkan Type III. I remember this is the best model on the market, right?"

V took it and looked at the thing in his hand in surprise. This thing was not cheap. Karl threw two tubes at once.

"Be prepared, take it."

Karl pointed to the other things thrown at the same time: "There are also necessary grenades and smoke bombs, all equipped with them.

There is too much space in your waist. "

"Too."

Naturally, he put the things where they should be. V asked Karl: "So, when will we take action?"

"Now."

Karl made a summary in the team communication that V came in.

"The goal is to get back the car entrusted by the middleman. The possible enemy is the Animal Gang group that has recently expanded from the west to the center for unknown reasons in the Great Empire Mall. The number is thirty Animal Gang elites. The key target is,

The leader of this group is the recent temporary boss of this area, the Savage King. "

The intelligence is summarized and the target is clear.

"Focus on the vehicles entrusted by the middleman. If they encounter obstacles, clear them and evade them. If necessary, put safety first and just engage in direct firefights. Fire support will be left to Oliver as always, and external hackers will be handled by T-BUG.

I, KK, Jack, and V, all three of them rushed in. "

It is also clear how the operators will act.

All that is needed next is...:

"Get started."

At the same time that the KK team started to take action, in the Great Empire Mall, the Savage King happened to curse. The big and thick-waisted female leader of the Animal Gang was cursing her client:

"The maggots in the manure pit want us to occupy the Great Empire Mall to defend against the voodoo gang's counterattack before we start distributing money.

Next time I believe that long-term network surveillance commissions are highly remunerative, I will be an idiot. "
