Cyberpunk: 2075

"Taipingzhou, I haven't been here for a long time."

After passing through Oliver's hometown of Santo Domingo, the desolate scenery of Taiping State, which was half developed and abandoned, appeared in front of Carl.

Looking at Taiping State, Karl remembered something.

"After all, Mann and the others went to Dog Town to hunt down Faraday through the old captain's channel. I don't know what is happening to them now."

Dog Town was once a subdivision of the Taiping State area, but with the end of the Unification War, this land became the independent territory of the self-reliant former New American Colonel Kurt Hanson. Now, it has evolved into the Night Town. A city within a city.

"Dog Town? Let me look at the map."

Hearing Karl talk about Mann and his friends going to Dog Town, Oliver in the passenger seat looked at the car map: "It's not far from the place where we want to pick up Dexter Deshawn, but unfortunately it's Dog Town. The screening is relatively strict, so it doesn’t matter if it’s not easy to get in, otherwise you can go in and take a look.”

"What are you going to do in that cesspit?"

Jack in the driver's seat complained: "That place is Kurt Hansen's private kingdom that resells international arms. If something happens, he doesn't shoot in advance. Even law enforcement has his own way of doing it. It's not fun to go there and find it." ”

‘I’ve heard before that there are tribesmen who want to get involved in the black market there and get some dry food to try. Not to mention they end up in trouble, it would be nice to come back alive. "

V obviously also knows about Dog Town. For that place, any normal person would run over to join in the fun.

"It sounds weird to hear you say it, but it seems like that's all."

Karl thought it was quite normal not to shoot in advance when there was something going on in the street. That was not the case in Night City. It was the same thing anyway. If you put it in Dog Town, it would be like a cesspool. The locals in Night City had to separate and go out to the city within the city. Unique discrimination, right?

Karl paused for a moment and continued: "Maybe there will be a mission for us to go in. You guys are talking about this and that now and you are disgusting with Dog Town. Maybe we will still have to go there, and then we will have to get in." It’s a cesspool, let’s use a better word, otherwise it will be disgusting to think about it later.”

"What kind of work can Dog Town take... Hanz? Oh, he seems to be a middleman in Taiping Prefecture. Is it possible that he also works in Dog Town?"

Jack asked, and then got the answer from T-BUG's communication: "According to the information, most of the business that Hanz is involved in is in Dog Town. It is better to say that the business in other places in Taiping Prefecture is where he has free time." The rest of the commission.”

"Hands is doing Dog Town work." Jack understood: "Then it wouldn't be strange if we receive work from Dog Town in the future. I just hope that he won't do any troublesome work, such as asking us to empty the warehouse. There is a stronghold of the 'Netherworld Dog', the armed organization under Walter Hansen. Even if the work is completed, the whole Dog Town will be in trouble. "

"Why don't you think about other things?"

V smiled: "For example, if we were to kill Kurt Hansen, the boss of Dog Town, that job would be more interesting."

"The boss of dog town, the boss of bullshit."

Oliver was reciting the words that a group of New American elements within the Sixth Street Gang used to describe Kurt Hanson, the New American traitor. He, the sharpest among the group, noticed two black spots, one fat and one strong, appearing in the distance. .

"I thought I saw Dexter Deshawn and his bodyguard. He was standing over there smoking a cigar." Oliver smacked his lips. "I didn't expect that. I thought he would shrink back if he left a spot. , did not show up until we arrived, and it turned out that this Dexter-Deshawn was really unusual. Did he find out about our arrival in advance, or was he not worried at all? He actually stood on the road at the appointed place waiting for us. ”

"Whether they have excellent intelligence capabilities and discovered that we are coming, or they are fearless, it can only mean one thing."

Karl looked at Dexter Deshawn, whose figure became clearer as he approached: "That means he is sure that this place is very safe.

I also have the ability to make sure this place is safe. "

"It's also possible that he's just stupid and doesn't know the danger, but looking at his confident appearance while smoking a cigar, it doesn't look like it.

So troublesome. "

Jack stared at Dexter Deshawn: "He can control the safety of this place, so our journey back to Night City will not be easy."

"Soldiers come to cover up water and earth. Carl, how do you use a Chinese idiom to describe it?" V continued to smile indifferently: "Whatever, anyway, kill one of the troubles, and after killing them, there will be no more trouble."

"You are so murderous, V."

When they arrived, as the negotiator of the team, Karl got out of the car and carefully looked at Dexter Deshawn who was also looking at himself.

Judging from the appearance, this guy who is known as the "Black Fat Jesus" in Night City seems to be capable of big things.

Dexter Deshawn has dark skin, a fat but strong body, and his neck is extremely thick, obviously after some form of exercise. His black hair is shaved very short, almost bald, and he wears a A pair of sunglasses, the gaze revealed from under the sunglasses is both sharp and deep, with a shrewd and alert temperament, which is very consistent with the killer gaze he is rumored to have on the streets.

Karl's eyes moved down. Dexter Deshawn was very practical in his clothing. The coat was dark red and the lining was black. This convenient clothing not only helped him hide in the dark alleys of Night City. His shape can be changed at any time. His left hand is intact, but his right hand has been replaced by a golden prosthetic limb. Judging from the luster of the golden prosthetic limb, he chose a rather expensive one that has never been used. Bionic skin mask model.

The data in Carl's mind helped him figure out the price of the prosthetic arm.

"It comes with a prosthetic body that has power enhancement and behavioral calibration. The outer layer is gold-plated. The market price is around 300,000 euros."

Quite expensive.

When Karl finished sizing up Dexter Deshawn, Dexter Deshawn had also finished sizing up Karl. His eyes glanced at Karl's personnel who couldn't see any difference from ordinary untransformed personnel. hand, and finally stared at Karl's face. Looking at that face, Dexter Deshawn showed a smile and stretched out his hand:

"Mr. Carl, it's an honor to meet you."

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Dexter Deshawn."

Reaching out to shake hands, Karl was actually a little surprised inside.

Normally, he would address the intermediary as sir, madam, etc., but this was the first time he was addressed as sir by an intermediary.
