Cyberpunk: 2075

After the Whirlpool Gang vehicle carrying Carl and his employer Blanca drove into the industrial zone in the north of Watson District, it did not enter a factory as Carl imagined, but turned around and finally turned in front of an apartment.

In the past, when Watson District was still scheduled to be another city center, the rich had built many apartments on the edge of the industrial zone in the north of Watson District, as if this would separate them from the area where the lower-level employees lived;

However, with the decline of Watson District, there were fewer and fewer apartments where rich people lived. After the rise of the Whirlpool Gang, in order to avoid being asked for the necessary "protection fees" by the Whirlpool Gang that often visited, they all moved out of this place. Now, the people living in the apartments in the industrial zone in the north of Watson District, enjoying the isolated life of the "rich", are just factory employees.

Information about Watson District flashed through his mind, and Carl appreciated the location of the other party who talked to his employer later.

Compared to the gloomy, steely factory that brought Carl some bad memories, this kind of apartment building is obviously more to his liking. Apart from other things, looking outside at the large expanse of sunshine will make him feel much better.

Although the sunshine in Night City will not be so bright because of the haze caused by pollution.

After the vehicle stopped in front of the apartment building, the first thing Carl saw was two members of the Vortex Gang standing in front of the apartment building. They each held a Saratoga submachine gun that looked well maintained.

[Military Technology M 221 Saratoga]: As a weapon originally designed for corporate security, the iconic click of this submachine gun is obviously more favored by gang members... Of course, it is not denied that it is because of its relatively low cost and easy modification. In short, if you can see this gun that is smaller and cuter than the same submachine gun on the street, it is recommended that you stay away from people who own such guns, because Saratoga is not Lexington, it is not easy to mess with.

How can you recall information and attack with gun discrimination? They are all military technology guns. In the past, Lexington and Saratoga were given the names of sister ships of aircraft carriers. In 2075, they are still compared.

As a half-Lexington lover, Carl changed Lexington and put it at home, but he still misses Lexington, his first gun. However, even so, when he saw the Saratoga submachine gun, his hand still slightly touched the Kenshin pistol on his waist.

If these madmen of the Whirlpool Gang ignore their own people and start shooting inside, he can't protect his employer.

Although the possibility is not great, as a bodyguard now, he must pay attention to this aspect.

The Whirlpool Gang was not so crazy. They pulled the people who were negotiating business over and killed their own people together. After the car stopped, the two Whirlpool Gang members holding Saratoga submachine guns moved away from the front of the apartment to the sides, and their weapons were also lowered to the outside, showing a welcoming and welcoming gesture.

"It's time to get off the car."

The employer Blanca said this, opened the car door and walked out. Carl looked at the driver who was silent in the front seat, and after confirming that he was not going to say anything, he also got off the car, but he heard a little sound when he got off the car.

It was the sound of the gun safety switch being turned on.

And the direction of the sound was from the front seat.

'It seems that this negotiation is ready to block the road. '

He got off the car calmly, without showing any surprise. Carl walked slowly to the employer's side, followed her and walked into the four-story apartment building in front of him under the welcome gestures of the two Whirlpool Gang members.

After they had completely entered the apartment building, one of the two gatekeepers from the Whirlpool Gang approached the driver holding a Saratoga submachine gun.

"Did they show any special behavior along the way?"

"No, the company dog ​​seemed a little nervous along the way. Her adrenaline increased a lot in my artificial eye scan, but she should be simply nervous about the upcoming negotiations, not intending to break the contract."

"What about the bodyguard who followed him? Is this the guy who killed the devil and took down one of our Whirlpool Gang's bases before?"

"That kid..."

When he was mentioned, the artificial eye of this Whirlpool Gang member who had a high status in the gang and had a scanning artificial eye but served as a driver flashed red, and then he spoke in a way that he was not sure of or believed.

"He was not nervous at all from beginning to end, even when he knew he was being taken to our territory. Compared to those miscellaneous mercenaries who were so nervous that they almost peed their pants as soon as they got on the car, he was quite courageous, but..."

"But?"

The member of the Whirlpool Gang guarding the door didn't quite understand why his friend was hesitant. He was not like his usual self at all.

"I always feel that the reason he doesn't care is because he can easily kill me if he wants to. The reason he is not afraid is because my life has always been in his hands. Can you believe it? When I drove over here, I didn't even dare to run a red light. It was just because he was sitting behind me. I didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, for fear that he would make me feel bad with a wrong look. I waited until he left before I dared to take the gun and open the safety."

The member of the Whirlpool Gang, who felt like he had survived a catastrophe, responded with a loud voice, and a look of panic gradually appeared on his face. He reached out and touched his back, only to find that his back was covered in cold sweat.

"You are exaggerating..."

The member of the Vortex Gang guarding the door was saying this, but he noticed that the expression on his friend's face was not a lie. His words could not help but pause, and then he asked again as if to verify: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Maybe more exaggerated than what I said. In my opinion, although this guy has no subcutaneous armor that can withstand bullets, and he is wearing just an ordinary basic bulletproof vest, I think if he wants, he can kill all of us by himself without getting hurt."

"Not even a little hurt..."

The member of the Vortex Gang guarding the door looked at the apartment behind him that Carl had entered, and said a little unconfidently: "There are ten people from our Vortex Gang standing in the negotiation room today. Ten guns are pointed at him. He can't kill them all in one breath..."

As he said this, he was not sure of his words.

Because he recalled that when the other party passed by him and glanced at him, he also had the same strange fear as his friend.
