Start in Night City

They used huge trailers as fences and laid laser mines outside the camp.

There are also sentries standing guard high up.

When they saw the camp, the sentries in the camp also spotted them.

"Just stop here,

Panan got out of the car and said, "I'll just go down and negotiate with them. You stay in the car." "

Several people waited outside the camp for a while.

Two people walked out of the camp.

One of them was very bald and had a prosthetic leg on his left hand.

It's not a gorilla arm with enhanced strength, but it's another kind of combat prosthetic body.

The other, wearing a hood, looked a bit like someone from Assassin's Creed.

As soon as the hooded man saw Panan, he burst into laughter: "Hey, what kind of wind brought the big man back?"

Another bald man also said: "Hahaha, is this a human or a ghost? Or is it because I haven't sobered up yet?"

Panam also smells sweet.

"Hmph, fuck you."

After bumping fists with the two, the hooded man looked at the Delamain taxi following behind, and his tone changed slightly.

"Panam, are you in trouble?"

"No, no, they are my helpers."

The bald man's tone softened: "Not bad, Panan. I've only been in the city for a short time and I've already made friends."

"It's not what you think. The situation here is very complicated and cannot be explained in a sentence or two." Panan scratched his head.

"I remember that when you left the family, you didn't drive this car. You wouldn't trade your precious car for a friend, would you?"

"No, my car was hacked by someone. It was done by Luandao. Now we are going to recover the place. Mitch, Scorpion, you have to help me."

The bald man Mitch took out a cigarette and lit it: "There is nothing to say about our relationship, but..."

The hooded male Scorpion took over his companion's words: "But it's difficult now."

Panam was not a particularly patient person.

Now he saw his two companions looking in trouble.

She was too lazy to pretend and showed her cards: "Seriously, do you want to help or not?"

Mitch sighed.

"The old man asked us to stay here. Normally, we would collect generators with broken batteries or something like that."

Panan was angry: "Generator? Just because of a few broken generators? Are you two kidding me?"

"It really won't work this time, the camp needs us."

"Fuck, I believe you!" Panan was like an angry little wild cat, walking around with his arms crossed, "Did Sol not let you interfere? You still think that I am one of your own?" ?"

Scorpion knows about the conflicts between Panan and Sol.

So Panan thinks this way, and Scorpion doesn’t blame Panan.

Just a faint reminder:

"This has nothing to do with Sol. I'm talking about family matters. Don't bite."

Mitch threw the unfinished cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out.

"Listen to me, we can't leave the camp, absolutely not! But, but... Thor never said that we can't take equipment."

Panan was silent for a while.

Knowing that this is the limit of what Mitch and Scorpion can do.

Families have family rules.

Everyone must obey the family's rules and cannot act arbitrarily.

If Sol does not allow them to leave, if they leave the camp without permission to help him, they will most likely be forced to leave the family just like him.

It's hard to survive in a bad land, but it's not easy to make a living in the city either.

What's more, Mitch and Scorpion are different from him, and it's not like Thor can't tolerate them.

Seeing this, Panan stopped insisting.

"Okay, okay, then I want your sniper rifle, and then I'll get my other equipment."

"How about you wait here? If Thor sees you coming back, he will definitely go crazy. Scorpion and I will go get what you want."

…

After a while, Mitch and Scorpion left and returned.

Mitch held a kinetic sniper rifle in his arms.

Scorpion is holding a heavy equipment box.

"Here, this is your thing. This is my sniper rifle. Take good care of it, Panang."

The two helped Panan put things in the car.

"Don't worry, I will. I...I'll leave right now, so I won't be in your eyes."

Panan scratched his head, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

She was particularly not good at this kind of situation, and she instinctively wanted to escape.

Mickey and Scorpion looked at her with smiles.

It's like looking at your own ignorant girl.

"Go, go, call when you have time."

"Be sure to take care of yourself when you're out there."

…

Panam returned to the car.

Start the car and turn around.

Drive towards Stoneridge Mountain.

The Delama taxi carrying Su Xiao and the others followed closely behind.

No one said anything along the way.

The only sound left was the sound of the wind blowing through the wilderness and the swaying of the Joshua trees.

The sky is filled with yellow sand. In such a wilderness, if you ride a motorcycle, you will be covered in dust without exception.

"Panan, do you have a bad relationship with the patriarch of your family?"

"What? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Panan instinctively wanted to be tough.

"You don't even dare to go inside the camp. They bring everything out for you."

Panan said discouraged: "Saul won't look good if he sees me."

"Thor, he is the patriarch of your family?"

"No, it's their clan leader."

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Panan raised his eyebrows: "No.

, is now the time to talk about this? "

"It's not an hour but forty or fifty minutes' journey from here to Stone Ridge Mountain. Don't you feel lonely if we don't talk? Of course, if you don't want to talk, I won't force you."

Panan let out a long sigh.

Perhaps it was because Su Xiao and others were willing to help that Panan no longer guarded against Su Xiao and others like he did before.

Or maybe it's because you're depressed and need someone to vent to.

"The reason why we moved here is because Sol promised to change the family and give everyone a paradise to live in."

"But you also saw that there is nothing except a few tents on the sand. Promised Land, Promised Land is nothing."

At the beginning of the 21st century, Juan Adecado led his followers to form Adecado.

Juan, an immigrant, famously gave an impassioned speech to the media to mourn the death of his son in a gang fight.

Juan lamented the collapse of America, and the grief and loss he conveyed touched thousands of people like him.

Adecado originated in Los Angeles, but during the Crash, he led a large group of homeless people out of Los Angeles and headed to Mexico.

Later, Adecado united other wandering tribes and rebuilt Mexico City with their help, becoming famous throughout the world.

After Juan's death, the members returned to California with the leader's ashes and buried him in their native land.

For the next three generations, Adecado was led by members of the Santiago faction.

Adecado is now one of the most well-known homeless states on the West Coast.

They set up many temporary camps in the desert, but they never gathered together.

Their caravans roamed the West Coast, migrating from one place to another.

Panan's family is one of the Adecados.

Thor took them outside Night City.

He wanted his people to live a good life.

Chapter 197: Lion leading sheep, or sheep leading lion (3K)

Unfortunately, the opposite happened.

"I want to make some changes, but Saul is just a coward. If I leave my words here and count on him, the family will definitely be doomed."

"You are really not polite at all."

But Su Xiao can also understand Panan’s grief and anger.

This is actually a very classic question: let a lion lead a group of sheep, or let a sheep lead a group of lions.

Su Xiao herself used to be a homeless person.

Although it didn't last long.

But I know that the difference between a wise leader and a stupid leader is really the difference between heaven and earth.

If that leader, whose name he almost forgot, had not led the Bakker family to rob the Snake Country's convoy.

It will not attract revenge from Snake State.

Maybe he won't be annexed by the Snake State and end up with his family destroyed.

It's not just him.

So did the previous leaders of the Bakker family.

Originally, when Selita Bakr was leading it, the family was really strong at that time.

As a result, the succeeding leaders quickly ran out of supplies and broke contracts with other families.

The Bakker family was brought to the ditch, and now the entire family has been annexed by the Snake State.

Su Xiao's feelings for the Bakker family are not very deep, so she can still act calmly like an outsider.

But for old people like McCoy and others who have deep feelings for the Bakker family, it may be really difficult to accept it.

Su Xiao, the leader of Panan's family... Su Xiao knew nothing about him.

But if it is true as Panan said.

Then their family would be really in trouble.

Seeing that Panan still looked angry, Su Xiao changed the subject.
