Start in Night City

"Put the gun down, they are our own."

Meredith came up from the back of the crowd.

After she spoke, the soldiers lowered their weapons.

Most of the soldiers dispersed and searched elsewhere.

Only a few soldiers remained to protect Meredith.

Meredith walked past the walking mecha that only had a pile of scrap metal left, and couldn't help but take a closer look.

There was a bit of shock in his eyes.

Of course she was familiar with this mecha, because it was one of the goods of the hijacked military technology transport team.

Su Xiao and others are missing neither arms nor legs.

He actually tore apart the mecha with his flesh and blood body without any injuries.

This made Meredith couldn't help but recall that when they were in the drainage channel under the viaduct, Su Xiao once said that it was just a gang, nothing to mention.

Now it seems that it is not a boast.

With such ability, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a legend in Night City.

"I admire your abilities. How about it? Are you interested in working for military technology?"

Said it was military technology.

In fact, it was Meredith who hoped to win over Su Xiao's team under his command.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in working for the company. I've always been a free-spirited person and don't like to be restricted by others."

Military technology seems to have a great reputation, but actually joining military technology, especially entering its security forces, may not necessarily be a promising choice.

Military Technology and Arasaka are mortal enemies.

Since the turn of the millennium, Military Technology and Arasaka have fought two massive wars, including the Fourth Corporate War and the Unification War (sometimes called the Metal War).

Someone may ask, wasn't the Unification War launched by New America to unify North America?

yes.

But that's not it either.

As we mentioned earlier, the president of New America is the former CEO of Military Technology, and the two maintain close ties.

And behind the Free State opposite New America, there is also Arasaka.

It was Arasaka who provided the source for the Free State

Continuous support allowed the Free States to withstand the attack of the new United States.

Thus, the War of Unification appeared on the surface to be a conflict and confrontation between national powers.

But in fact it is still a war between companies, or it can simply be regarded as a continuation of the fourth corporate war.

This is still a large-scale war.

There are countless small-scale conflicts, special military operations, and the like.

Unless he is like Adam Hammer and works as a personal bodyguard for the prince.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, it is just a knife in someone's hand.

Su Xiao didn't want to get involved in the conflict between Arasaka and Military Technology.

He was not an American to begin with.

Secondly, he is just an ordinary citizen who works as a gunman for the capitalists when he is full.

Meredith was disappointed.

But Lidya Su's answer was actually within her expectations.

I wonder if there is some invisible law at work:

Except for Heavy Hammer, none of the well-known mercenaries in Night City are willing to join the company.

Johnny Silverhand is like this;

So does Andrew "Old Snake" Wayland.

"Well, if you don't want to, I won't force you, but if there is any work, I will contact you. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."

"We'll see about it then. As long as it doesn't violate morality and the bottom line, and the remuneration is generous, it'll be fine."

The conversation is over.

Su Xiao gave the other three people a "let's go" look and prepared to leave.

But just as they were about to leave, a soldier might be trying to please Meredith, or he might be just being stubborn.

He saw the logo of Military Technology on the display screen of the metal box Jack was carrying. He stood up and shouted at the three of them without waiting for Meredith to give the order.

"That box is an asset of military technology. You can't take it away! Leave the box behind!"

Chapter 128 You are teaching me how to do things (3K)

The soldier's sudden loud shout attracted the attention of other soldiers who were still nearby.

They all cast their gaze over.

This couldn't help but make Jack and others nervous.

Now it's filled with soldiers with military technology.

I don’t know how many more are out there.

Their personal combat power, equipment, and firepower are not on the same level as the Whirlpool Gang.

If a fight breaks out, the consequences are unpredictable.

Moreover, once you become an enemy of military technology, you will be wanted by military technology.

In that case, their days in Night City would be over.

No matter how optimistic the middlemen in the city are about them.

I don’t dare to keep in touch with them anymore.

But if they keep this box, wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?

Jack and others were hesitant and anxious at the same time.

I don't know how to get over this hurdle.

In contrast, Lidya Su was calm and calm.

He did nothing, just crossed his arms and looked at Meredith leisurely.

He didn't speak, but he didn't hide the questioning in his eyes at all.

Meredith couldn't stand it anymore.

If a country is compared to a human being, then she can now understand how she felt when Germany had two pig teammates, Italy and Japan, during World War II.

"Did I give you a fucking opinion? That box is empty! There's nothing in it! Did you fucking understand?!"

Perhaps because he felt that he was not reassured enough, Meredith added angrily: "This matter is over now. I don't want to hear any more discussions about this. If I know who is talking nonsense later, I will Just sink him into the sea and feed him to the fish!”

He originally wanted to show off, but ended up being scolded so badly that he became a bloody soldier and didn't even dare to fart.

The other soldiers quickly looked away due to Meredith's anger.

No one dared to see Lidya Su and the others anymore.

Meredith snorted.

Then he waved to Lidya Su and others.

"Okay, you can go."

Jack and the others were relieved.

Although judging from how happily Su Xiao and Meredith had just talked, Meredith would most likely let them go.

But when Meredith actually lets them go, they really feel relieved.

But at this time, Lidya Su didn't leave immediately.

He just scanned it with the tactical eyepiece.

All the military technology troops who came this time came in armored SUVs and armored trucks.

Forget about the armored truck, it's not necessary.

But the military-tech armored SUV is a good thing.

In terms of defensive performance, it has broken away from the category of "car".

Not much worse than a tank.

"Ms. Meredith, you have so many cars, if you don't mind giving one to me."

Meredith frowned slightly, but still said to a subordinate.

"Give him the key."

With the lessons learned from the past, this subordinate did not dare to have any objections.

He quickly took off the key and threw it away.

Su Xiao took the thrown key.

He changed hands and threw it to Jack again.

"Didn't you say you like this armored SUV with military technology? This car is yours."

Jack was ecstatic.

Immediately I was moved.

I didn't expect myself

The words he said casually were actually remembered by Lidya Su.

…

Coming out of the Dance of Death bar, the four of them got into the armored SUV "kindly presented" by military technology.

As for the coupe that brought the four people here, Jack used intelligent navigation to make it return to the Wild Wolf Bar automatically.

Sitting in the car, Su Xiao asked Jack to drive to the next life.

While calling Dexter.

"How did things go, Mr. Su?"

Su Xiao did not answer directly: "Dexter, have you reserved seats for us in the next life?"

"Actually, I have made a reservation. As you know, I trust my intuition... Well, I just hope you won't disappoint me."

"Your intuition is right, the robot has it."

Dexter's face was full of joy: "Well done, Mr. Su, you really did a good job and you didn't disappoint me. Then just come over here. Let's talk in detail when you get here."

When Su Xiao ended the communication, Jack couldn't wait to ask.

"What did Dexter say?"

"He told us to meet him in the afterlife."

"Really? Hey, Dexter, here we come."

…

More than half an hour later, the car stopped outside Afterlife.

Jack parked the car and couldn't wait to get out of the car.

"Wait a minute," Su Xiao suddenly stopped Jack, who was eager to try, and looked at V and Lucy, "Lucy, you stay in the car, and the three of us can get out."

He had a bad idea in his mind.

If...that is, if, Dexter's so-called big deal is true.

So for a middleman of Dexter's level, what he can call a big deal task, what Su Xiao can think of is to take food from the company's mouth.
