Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure

At the same time, in the bad land outside the city, the original abandoned town, wind farm, huge solar power station and satellite microwave transmission station were completely bulldozed. The large fusion reactor built by Jess is near Coronado Bay. Originally biotech's farm location.

Night City is bounded by the bay to the west and rolling hills to the east, and it's the largest city in Northern California, not the only one.

Night City has a permanent population of about 700 million people. It is quite a huge city. It is completely different from the cityscape in the game. This is just the registered population, and the number is so huge that the officials are too lazy to investigate. The existence of black households, the actual population exceeded the 2000 million mark.

Imagine what it would be like if the population of two Shanghai cities were squeezed into an urban area less than the size of one Shanghai district.

Therefore, in fact, the five urban areas of Night City are extremely large areas. The high-rise buildings are concentrated in Watson District and Heywood District. Watson District was once the most prosperous area in Night City, and Haywood District It is called the bedroom of Night City, and there are huge buildings here.

Tens of millions of people live in a structure like an ant nest, crowded, noisy, chaotic, gangs are rampant, toxic air and sewage flow across, the suffocating world is also the most cyberpunk place.

Then there's Seabrook, where there's no gangs, in stark contrast to Watson and Haywood to the west, where an artificial river acts as an invisible dividing line, dividing the world in two.

The Watson District in the west is chaotic, poor, full of poor people and gang members, and hundreds of corpses can be carried out every day, but refugees and refugees from the north continue to pour into Watson District, which makes Night City The birth rate is the lowest in the United States, but the actual population is growing crazily.

The Seabrook area is a place full of high-tech products, no gangsters, no messy lower-level entertainment venues, where corporate executives and middle-class people live, very futuristic.

Whether it is tall and tidy apartment buildings, ornately decorated hotels, or the endless speeding cars of 11, they are all clearly separated from other urban areas. In the east, Mission Hill is full of villas. Local residents ride explosion-proof vehicles, surrounded by professional security. In and out accompanied by personnel.

As for the Santo Domingo area, it is not like the backward industrial area in the game. This is where the company's test base is concentrated. The company's various production facilities, factories, and advanced research institutes are here. Since Jess destroyed the company After his rule, it became a paradise for scavengers.

The company dogs blocked every facility, took away the assets that could be taken away, and confiscated every penny in the account of everyone in Night City, and there are still a lot of valuables in these abandoned facilities. Things, especially those that can be traded with those in the Badlands.

"Boom!" The colossus of Jess fell into the ruins, and the ion cannon on the head quickly locked on the fleeing scavengers. With a few slight explosions, only some charred wreckage was left on the ground.

Next, professional Jess scavengers will quickly clean up this area. As a free AI with its own industrial capabilities, Jess is extremely advantageous if he really wants to start laying manpower, because as long as the factory continues to expand the server array The number and the number of Jace platforms, they have enough numbers to clear the ruins and remnants of the enemy.

The order belonging to outsiders is constantly expanding, which puts great pressure on the company, and the new US government, which is under the greatest pressure, immediately launched a war mobilization, while the situation in China and the Soviet Union is rather strange. To be precise, both sides There is mutual accusation and bickering - no one believes that these things with big Chinese signs have nothing to do with them.

The world of 2077 is a very strange international situation. In this world, the result of the Cold War was that the Soviet Union did not believe in the Star Wars plan and was not dragged down. The result was that the United States was dragged down.

After that, the United States disintegrated in the Unification War, and some of them formed the new United States under the bonding of military technology.As for the rest, they are divided into at least four or five countries, and the Free Republic of California where Night City is located is one of them.

Therefore, the current lighthouses of the world are the European Union and the Soviet Union, and as a hostile camp, it is impossible for Night City to use the Soviet ruble, only the euro—however, the US dollar is still on the site of the new United States, but now for various reasons , the euro is the world currency.

About one euro is equivalent to 4 yuan in the new US dollar, so now the pressure is the most

The two are the European Union and the New United States. Of course, the California Republic, a small country controlled by companies, is not a matter of pressure, because this pressure cannot reach them at all.

Just when the companies began to join forces to kill this outsider or figure out where they came from, Arasaka, the most stubborn and old-fashioned representative giant company, jumped back at this critical moment.

Raisaka Arasaka not only announced Arasaka’s mikoshi plan, but he didn’t know why he physically fired almost everyone on the board of directors. Next, he announced the abolition of a lot of Arasaka’s company laws and rules, and formulated a very rock-and-roll New rules for brats and anarchists.

This caused Arasaka's stock price to drop at an alarming rate, but he didn't care at all, he just wanted to destroy the empire and burn this disgusting place to ashes. Of course, Lai Xuan would not disband Arasaka's army like Shi Lezhi did. The guy decisively converted most of Arasaka's industries into military expenditures, and at the same time lifted the blockade of Night City.

When Arasaka's aircraft carrier formation left the Colorado Bay blockade, not to mention the new United States, even the Soviet Union was stunned, as if seeing a vegetarian wolf or tiger, it was unbelievable--in exaggerated words, it was a nuclear bomb The son of the president of the Arasaka Group, which can flatten half the world, is actually an idealist and liberal o

He is even going to really create a fair and free world on his own site, with no secret police, no censorship, no disgusting bureaucrats, AI is used to manage all kinds of chores, and everyone enjoys full freedom and happiness without Every day is like a mouse living in a garbage dump

The price is that Arasaka's liquidity and assets evaporate at an alarming rate, and a large number of middle- and lower-level managers of the company try to cash out and run away. After all, when the giant company Arasaka Group cannot bring enough benefits to itself, these middle-level managers Management and executives are the quickest to jump ship.

After all, Laisho Arasaka, the prince of the Arasaka Group, is actually the same kind of person as us? "V was stunned. Although I heard that this guy broke away from his father's protection, went to go to extremes, and played rock and roll, but he thought it was just the prince's Duniu Temple hobby.

"To be more precise, this guy is going to be the savior. I always thought it would be the most incredible thing in the world for a group of powerful girls to drop from the sky. I didn't expect this to surprise me the most this year." Vik Watching the small TV for a long time is also dumbfounded.

"Old Wei, how is Parker's situation?"

"It's not good, can you wake up and see your luck?" Parker is a typical person whose heart is higher than the sky and life is thinner than paper. She thinks that she can have both sides, but she never realizes that her value is actually just being used by others. Existence, neither the Voodoo Gang nor the Tiger Claw Gang thought of fulfilling their promises at all.

And it is impossible for her to get her part and fly away, so when V and Jack found her, her nerves had been burned by the lunatics of the Voodoo Gang, even if Lao Wei tried his best to heal her, it was useless.

In the original game, in fact, V and Jack were never hunted down by the Arasaka Group. It was Takemura who was actually hunted down. He was a witness who knew the truth. In the eyes of the Arasaka Group, V and Jack were just two mixed in. It's just a little gangster, it doesn't matter at all, their power has never been put on these two people at all, and they don't even know that these two people have taken important items from the Arasaka Group.

Of course, with Lai Xuan's personality, even if he knew it, he wouldn't care. His purpose was to destroy this thing, so the whole process was nothing but Zhucun's own opinion.

O

Under normal circumstances, V and Jack don't need to be so nervous, feel that they are involved in a big incident, but go downstairs normally, and nothing will happen if they leave among the passengers

O

"So what's the next suffocating thing? An alien invasion? Or a monster from another world?" Jack shook his head.

"Who knows? Maybe these people really established a good order like Lai Xuan? Let us be a decent person." V also looked a little confused, "Who knows?"

Brother 110—early

The turmoil in the Arasaka Group did not affect the countermeasures of other companies. Facing the current situation of the stock price plummeting and Jess's relatively low-key side, after the initial panic, the company quickly seemed to have found some kind of backbone.

First of all, they airdropped a large number of weapons and some heavy equipment to the gangsters in the Badlands. This really made it more difficult for Jess to clean up the Badlands and resume production—but, Jess may be a good tempered man, but Xiaoxiao definitely no.

The construction of face farms and breeding farms has been repeatedly blocked, and various gangs and homeless people on the bad land have continued to attack these construction sites without access to food and supplies.

To put it simply, those who are willing to return to live in Night City, work honestly, and obey the order can get a full ration without worrying about food and drink.

But the one holding the banner of "freedom" is defending his own freedom of burning, killing and looting, so he directly disposes of them all, and even conducts orbital bombing of every inhabitable area that can be found on the Badlands.

Of course, those mercenaries and intermediaries were also ordered to put down their weapons and resist in the shortest possible time, but most of the intermediaries refused, except the priest who did not run out or who could not give up Valentino's brothers and ran out. up.

In the past in Night City, they were legends in the underground world, calling the wind and rain. In the Badlands now, they are also big shots, just as Fatty De said, "Do you choose to become famous or become an unknown person?"O

Many intermediaries chose to become famous, and only a very few chose to be unknown. For example, the intermediary in Watson District, Regina chose to continue to be her own reporter.

She resisted Arasaka and the company's control over the news, and chose this path, still using her own way to investigate and reveal the secrets buried in Night City, so when Jess and Xiao Xiao found her and asked her to cooperate When helping to investigate the causes of Ai and cyberpsychosis hidden in Night City, and promised to destroy them, she did not hesitate to bring her own people to join in.

And not everyone chose to continue fighting for the dog food left behind by the company. A considerable number of Night City residents chose to return to the city after being deceived by those words full of lofty rhetoric and slogans. After all, Badlands are nothing. A place suitable for survival.

And some of them went a step further. They chose to join Jess's security force and use their combat skills and experience to serve the new boss. Most of them are from the Night City Veterans Association. These people have participated in several company wars and unification The veterans of the war were given up by the company.

They didn't get the pension they were promised, and they didn't get the job they were promised, just a whole body of pain, severe drug dependence and cyberpsychosis.

In Night City, there are two truths about cyberpsychosis. The first one is the super Ai developed by the Ye Group, which uses implants to conduct secret brain experiments that affect human emotions and cognition. Some malfunctions and accidents occurred, and the deaths of citizens caused by these were covered up in a cyber-psychotic way.

No one knows that this is a good thing done by the Ye Group, except Regina, but now this super Ai and its server have been destroyed, a sublight mass bomb from the orbit directly leveled the entire test base .

As for whether the Ye Group has such or other experimental institutions in other places, it is unknown, but even if there are, it doesn't matter, because a bigger blow will come soon.

The other is the problem caused by the malfunctioning implant. The patient has been in the pain of nerve damage caused by the implant for a long time, with mental insufficiency and difficult emotional control.

Endless torment that can only be relieved by taking partial medicines that only relieve the pain, not eradicate it.

What's more, the biotechnology that produces the drug has never thought of curing this symptom at all, why should it?A chronic disease that won't kill people immediately and is painful enough is the favorite thing of the medical group, and there is no benefit in curing it.

When Jess and Xiao Xiao came to these veterans with a brand new contract and prepaid compensation, no one could refuse this contract, especially since it was more favorable than the company's contract and had excellent reputation, at least for now Come to think of it, these outsiders never break their promises.

After part of the healing, these recovered veterans became the loyal dogs of this new faction, and Jace installed the Jace platform in their implants, so that they could share their combat experience and update the next generation of Jace combat unit.

And the equipment of these people has also been updated to the standard equipment of the Galactic Alliance Forces, a set of nuclear-powered armor with a shield, a main weapon, and a secondary weapon, which are divided into penetration weapons according to the type of implant and personal expertise. Fighter and fighter styles.

Because there is no relationship between supernatural powers, related equipment such as pioneers have no meaning to them. The rifles modified with Achilles technology rifles and mass effect technology are distributed as standard equipment, and they fire three sublight speed projectiles at a time. Even large fighting robots can be knocked down with a single shot.

And these old guys who are well-equipped, rich in combat experience, and good at street fighting joined in, and according to the experience they gained when struggling at the bottom and the familiar terrain, when they led the Jess extermination team to check the water meters one by one, the last one in Night City The end of gang power and the entrenched underground world has arrived.

"Open the door, City Public Security Bureau!" Hale, who said to open the door, kicked the door open. As a veteran who has fought in the jungles of South America for more than ten years, he has no habit of speaking nicely at all.

"It's these scavengers again, endlessly, like a group of mantises" ex N

CPD sniper Matt checked the blood-stained tools in the room, as well as several cold corpses, "They ran away."

"" I can't run far! "Hale made a gesture, and soon two drones flew into the room and began to scan for traces everywhere. The former military technology lieutenant Mowell who led the team lay on the window sill and watched for a while. There were traces of their actions. They It must be near here, search I"

"Go to hell, bitch!" Two scavengers who were obviously drugged rushed out from the secret door, and they were greeted by Hale's shotgun standing a few meters away.

"Sure enough, there is a secret door. There is an old saying in my original place. When you find a scavenger, there are at least a hundred of them hiding somewhere around." Matt joked.

He was a very popular police officer before, until a long-planned frame-up, his entire squad was finished, leaving him alive, the implant was remotely closed, and he couldn't bear the torture and went crazy .

In the end, it became a new cyber mental illness, but now it is cured, and after the recovery, he joined the new security bureau, why not?

The wages here are reasonable, the vacations are sufficient, new implants and free repair surgery are allotted, although no insurance is purchased—and no insurance company accepts orders—but complete retirement benefits are prepared.

In the same way, Mowell, who was tortured mad by the experimental implants of military technology, and half of her team, NCPD—some of the police officers who are still working and people who have dreams, of course, there are violent terrorists. All the members of the mobile team—they are all recruited cyber psychopaths.

He joined the Terrorist Mobile Squad in order to have a chance to recover, and now he can naturally join I" Xiaoxiao for the same reason and purpose.

It has to be said that these armed forces and personnel abandoned by the company are simply cultivating talents for Xiaoxiao and Jess for free. Some executives were fired because artificial intelligence was

Engineers who have been "Uyoted", the bankrupt middle class, injured or disabled veterans, etc., and after these people were cured and got new contracts, they did not hesitate to join the small army.

All the previous companies were almost unreliable, and none of the companies that barely managed to be in Night City, such as the ones in the Soviet Union (there was a mission to infiltrate the Soviet base to install a locator, so you could eavesdrop on their conversations), the only one left The Kang Tao under him can barely be regarded as the type to treat dupes.

However, Kangtao popularized intelligent weapons and smart ordnance, and because of Kangtao's good treatment, Kangtao's new recruits ranked at the bottom of all companies - other companies have to eliminate a batch every two or three years. After all Even Ye's Group, which claims to have defeated 3% of its opponents, has a slogan that they enjoy 99 days of vacation throughout the year—and Kang Tao o... Kang Tao bought trauma group gold insurance for every employee.

Among all the groups in Night City, it is the only company that buys five insurances for its employees. Of course, the salary level is therefore only No. 8 in Night City, which is a relatively low level. [Company dog ​​can see Kang Tao's recruitment documents at the beginning of the game. At that time, I wanted to change jobs, Arasaka?No dogs go! 】

Due to the gold insurance for all employees, Kangtao's employees' work-related injuries and abnormal death rates are the lowest in Night City. If there are fewer deaths, there will be fewer new recruits. After all, they are not doing charity.

Therefore, in this case, these optimized talents can’t bargain with the company at all, unless you have already obtained Kang Tao’s entry permit, but after obtaining Kang Tao’s entry permit, you will naturally take up the post immediately, trauma team gold Insurance is it not fragrant?What's more, Kang Tao also provides until the age of 70. (Kang Tao's gold insurance has been paid until the age of 70, a conscientious enterprise in Night City!)

Therefore, when these people face the more human-like Jess recruiting, it is conceivable how much loyalty they have to their original employers.

Compared with the company's talent pool, from the slums of Night City, Xiaoxiao has found people who can form a complete new team, including engineers, politicians, bureaucrats,

Police, doctors, firefighters, even teachers and hackers can be found.

Not to mention the vast number of veterans who were victims of the Unification War and patients with radiation sickness caused by the explosion of Silver Hand. Come on, these people are a liability and then they are all thrown away, leaving them to become cyberpsychopaths and beggars on the streets.

While all the accounts of the residents of Night City were frozen and sanctioned, Xiaoxiao also chose the big default method without hesitation. Everyone's debts were written off, and they even stopped using Euro accounts altogether. In order to avoid certain payment backdoors and magic Due to the existence of the Idol, Jess distributed all-purpose tools to every resident of Night City, completely bypassing the other party's interface and hardware.

"Open the door!" The second door was punched open, this time it was Mowell who did it, and this time the scavenger inside and the hapless Vortex gang didn't escape at all, "Damn it, the police came to the door! "

"Often my big gun!" The leader of the Vortex Gang picked up a light machine gun and fired at Mowell, and the latter rushed forward in two steps, relying on his own shield to last a few times, directly activating the "gorilla arm" and hammered the guy into the wall with one punch.

With the backhand, he pulled out the broadsword shotgun on his back, and with the dual support of the armor power and the gorilla arm, he shot directly at the vortex gang who rushed forward.

The battle lasted less than 10 seconds before everyone disappeared, well, literally disappeared, or everyone disappeared-whether it was a broadsword that could kill a half-ton krogan Even weapons that crumble into slag with armor and shields, or strengthened gorilla arms and the power of the forging machine, are not what these gangsters who have lost the supply of various technical products and can only pick up garbage and arm themselves can resist

"Only this few people. I think there must be something wrong with your intelligence."

"Then I have to go back and have a good talk with Chick Regina."

Astoria and the gang headquarters, there were only a dozen or so people in the end.

"There must be a problem with the intelligence. This is a trap. More people are coming! They all—Bu□口JJ

letter stop

"Grass!" Melissa jumped out of the window, turned over, hooked the mantis knife to the bracket outside the building, climbed behind a huge billboard, and then flew towards the ambusher who had been positioned. The sniper was still hiding In the corner of the opposite building

"One sniper, solved, but there are more, um, bazooka, military technology, Mowell, your job." Melissa kicked the corpse on the ground, rolling out of her arms A military technology sniper rifle with a bazooka next to it

"Military technology people? That's really great. I have a bill to ask them to settle. How many can you keep for me?"
