Looking at the pale white lamppost on the ceiling, Royce, who was tied to the electric chair, had dull eyes and a mixture of saliva and gastric juice hanging from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered inhuman torture.
Just when the poor guy who had just become the leader of the Uzumaki Gang regained some of his consciousness, a biotechnology torture expert walked into the room. On the tray in his hand, syringes and glass jars of different sizes interacted with each other. The collision made an extremely clear but chilling sound.
"Haha, this is a new drug we developed. It can amplify the pain a hundred times while keeping the person awake while using it. Of course, the side effects are also serious."
Putting a syringe filled with purple liquid to Royce's vein, the torture expert smiled slightly and injected all the liquid into Royce's body. Then he picked up a steel needle from the tray and gently He poked the other person's fingertip lightly.
"Ahhh!"
Royce considers himself to be the number one figure in Night City. He has been in the Maelstrom Gang for so many years and has taken not only 100 but also 80 bullets. With the enhancement of the medicine, the pain that usually wouldn't even cause him to frown seemed like a road roller was crushing his hands repeatedly. Moreover, his mind became clearer due to the effect of the medicine, and his body could not even protect himself. Even fainting can't be done.
Facing the torture expert's smile that looked like a demon seeking death, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and shouted with splitting eyes, "I said it! I said it all! Stop fucking poking him!"
Although Royce seemed a little crazy, he actually knew better than anyone else that the reason why Biotechnology kept his life was entirely for the information about the convoy robbery.
When I hand over that information, I will lose value to biotechnology, and the generals waiting for me will only be silenced.
But after being interrogated for more than ten hours, Jackway figured out that no matter what the investigation result of the case was, I would probably get out of that room alive.
The man who deliberately let Mann take the gun to show that he had no good intentions smiled and took out the magazine full of bullets, and threw it at his feet together with Mann's gun. You took the initiative and stretched out your hand and said, "Yin Xiong - Wei Hansen, nice to meet you, you are V."
Suddenly, he felt a cold, soft, tubular object pressing against his waist. Mann's hand holding the cigarette stopped in mid-air, wondering whether to continue smoking or to put his hand down.
Not long before the Els team returned to Night City, we immediately came to Dog Town. With Meredith's prior arrangement, we settled into a dangerous house and patiently waited for the incident of the robbery. Go over and head back to the main city to show your face.
But being in Dog Town does not mean that Ers and others are in absolute danger. The Nether Dogs cannot betray us at any time before learning the truth, and military technology agents will stop in Dog Town to look for us, which is a warning to everyone. No chance to breathe.
In line with the idea that they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, the lower level immediately found the commander of the armed personnel sent by Military Technology to assist in the investigation, and sent the existing intelligence to him, saying that he would try to arrest everyone on the list. Live or die, but if the other party dares to resist, it will be a matter of life or death.
Half an hour ago, a manned aircraft conducting reconnaissance in the Taipingzhou area found clues. However, when everyone rushed to the scene, there was no one left in the car. If you continue walking along the abandoned streets, it is no longer the territory of Taipingzhou's local snakes and the Nether Dog mercenary army.
Before saluting to the lower level, the arresting operations director Royce Stout turned and left. A few minutes ago, eight armored aerial vehicles loaded with military technology mercenaries flew towards the Wild Wolf Bar in Watson District.
So in order to make the other party feel uncomfortable, I simply vomited everything I knew.
After standing outside the small clinic for a while, Mann was no longer bored by the clinic owner who was always talking about Hugh. He simply walked to the clinic door while the two of them were selecting spare prostheses and immunosuppressants. Light a cigarette and smoke it happily.
Glancing at the rapidly flowing galaxy under the business card, Mann smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, you see he completely understands what he is meddling in. Normally you wouldn't be in the mood to persuade him, but now, Oh, forget it, come with you."
With the fresh information in hand, the torture expert nodded with satisfaction, left the interrogation room amidst Jackway's desperate wails, and immediately handed the information to the lower-level company responsible for the matter.
Before discovering that both men were seriously injured in the crossfire, Royce came to the bar that was completely controlled by the troops, pointed a pistol at the head of an edgewalker, and asked viciously: "William Royce and Where is Mann-Wilhansen?"
In other words, anything that happens there is related to the authorities. Whether citizens are robbed of property or organs, or directly killed, NCPD will accept reports from the Taipingzhou area.
Seeing that Meredy was putting on her underwear and seemed to be going out for shopping, Mann followed quickly, scratched his head and said, "You've been to Dog Town before. There are kidney cutters everywhere. I'll take you with me." There is so much danger in not having a partner.”
...
Although Mann-Wilhansen and Else and others could only meet by chance, everyone had a bad feeling for that man with a bold personality. Therefore, before we retreated to Dog Town and settled down, we also sent a message to Yin Xiong, saying that it was best to stay with us in Dog Town for some time to come, otherwise there was a small chance that he would be captured by people from the company.
Taipingzhou was originally planned as a revenue-generating resort for Night City, but as the global economy continued to slump, investors withdrew their funds and left the site, leaving hundreds of glossy buildings that were only half-built and unfinished. , the above-ground space connected in all directions can be called the best habitat for gang forces and white market transactions.
Glancing at Erls who was smoking a cigar with his eyes closed in the shadows, Meredith nodded reluctantly to see if he had any objections, rejecting Mann's request to go out together.
In fact, in order to maintain his small mercenary force, Jack only acquiesced to all contraband transactions within Dog Town. And as long as it jeopardizes the interests of the Nether Dogs and pays taxes on time, I am more than willing to protect those transactions.
Glancing at the sinister Nether Dog logo under the street sign, Royce screamed bad luck in his heart, but for a moment he also thought it was a bad idea.
Before the meeting, Lucy found Yin Xiongqian, who was in charge of purchasing supplies, and said without any worry: "Xiaowei's condition is getting more and more stable. You are worried about letting Dr. Baishi dismantle and repair my prosthetic body, so you can only rely on me during that time. The immunosuppressants are on."
Hearing the man's voice from behind, Mann replied in a pretentious manner: "Really, girl, he puts the gun first, we have nothing to say."
"Lucy is wrong. I'm sure he and his mother don't need anything. Just tell you."
Let Meredy take the supplies back to the dangerous house first. Yin Xiong and V went to a large restaurant on the street and found a seat. They took a photo of the business card in their hands and sent it to Ers. The other party confirmed V's identity as a friendly soldier at a glance, but I I also want to understand why Mr. "Xing" sent a big girl to act as some kind of bodyguard for us at that time.
Yin Xiong, who was chatting with his mother at the side, suddenly heard his ears move, came over, and asked in an unbelievable tone: "So they really fought against Adam Heavy Hammer, my dear, did you hear that this was not a Taiwan murderer?" A blinking machine that eats nuts with every meal and drinks engine oil!”
Mann, who thought he had the initiative, suddenly turned pale. Holding a gun for many years has made me very sensitive to the weight of the gun. First, he said that the Lexington pistol in his hand even had a safety. Even if the man was negligent, the pistol, which was slightly heavier than the special one, would still appear to be empty of bullets.
"boom!"
Knowing that the other party was just joking to get information, Lucy shook her head and said, "Mr. Weihansen, you know that he is worried about your situation, but the matter has come to this, you have no other choice but to wait."
"Relax, as long as he cooperates, someone will get hurt."
"This is not the case at all. You hope that Xiaojia will go out as much as possible in the next few days, especially him, Rebecca. You know that he is very interested in these big things in the white market. But these are extraordinary times, One person’s negligence may harm the entire team!”
"That guy is quite stupid. He probably knows that the company has no agreement with Jack, so he can arrest people with little fanfare right under the nose of the Nether Dog."
However, unlike the chaos and order in a small part of Taipingzhou, Dog Town, a city within a city occupied by the Nether Dogs, has always been under the low-pressure rule of the mercenary warlord Yin Xiong. Thanks to the weak force guarantee of the Nether Dog, few people dare to cause trouble in Dog Town.
Feeling the coldness in his waist, Mann was forced to turn back into a busy alley and sweat broke out on his forehead. While I was thinking about how to escape, I guessed: "He should be a member of the Bai Gang, and more importantly a scavenger. He is here for us, right?"
"Can we have a serious talk now, sister?"
Before getting a negative answer, you shot the other person's head without any determination, then put the muzzle of the gun under the previous person's head and asked the same question.
"In those days, there were so many people with one letter as their name. I never thought of letting you touch the next one today. Damn it, V, what on earth does he want to do?"
After killing four people at once, Royce learned that Mann-Wilhansen and my mother had not seen each other in the bar for a long time. As for where the two of them went, no one said they left Night City, and no one said they saw Yin Xiong driving to Taipingzhou.
"As you command, sir."
Realizing that Mann had a close relationship with Ers and others, the male gunman said without any surprise: "He really knows where Ers is? Take you there slowly!"
As a dozen robots and heavily armed mercenaries rushed out of the Wild Wolf Bar and ended the search for the target man named Mann Weihansen, several Edgewalkers who were calm and thought that the other party was coming to arrest them started to rush. He took out his weapon and even threw a grenade directly at the door. The violent shock wave and shrapnel instantly knocked down several mercenaries and robots.
Taking into account the high efficiency of Night City, the city surveillance network with frequent failures and the half-death attitude of Ncpd, Royce immediately ordered the release of dozens of Pterodactyl heavy-duty manned drones to search throughout the city. The whereabouts of the vehicle Mann was driving.
Due to issues such as municipal management, funding repatriation, and police casualties, Taipingzhou, which was occupied by various gangs and ghost dog mercenaries, was removed from the law enforcement area by Ncpd as early as a teenager.
And V didn't let my doubts last too long. I saw you take out this dark gold business card owned by the Star Group from your pocket, shook it in front of Mann and said, "The employers after Ers are worried about them. The support is up, so I hired you to wipe their butts."
Sitting in the dimly lit dangerous room, as the team leader, Ers said: "As long as you survive the most difficult moment, each of you will become a millionaire! If you say this, let's call it a night!"
Just before a gunshot rang out, another edgewalker saw his own brain.
Looking at Mamoru staring at the broken arm in a daze under the sofa, Meredy nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, you even survived Arasaka's siege. You will definitely let Mamoru fall outside."
Based on a series of plans, Royce's arrest in the Wild Wolf Bar seemed to be natural.
"He is from the company, tell me what he wants to do."
Seeing that Mann did not doubt him, V simply handed over the business card, saying that as long as he handed the business card to Erls, if the other party could understand his purpose.
Before discussing with everyone in the team, Sis waved his hand and said, "Let's take you back to the dangerous room first. Mr. Star will have a clear target. There must be no secret behind this move that you all know."
Even though Mann had a quick mind, he was also awakened by the opponent's confusing operation.
Unexpectedly, the male gunman in front of him only failed to comply and pushed the muzzle of the gun outward with force. He was obviously warning Mann not to play tricks, otherwise his life would be saved.
Ten minutes ago, the two people who were retreating along the above-ground commercial street came to the door of a shabby prosthetic clinic. Meredith opened the door and backed away, saying straight to the point that she needed low-quality immunosuppressants, and the clinic owner Seeing no small customers come to the door, I quickly finish rummaging through the boxes with a smile, and sometimes promote the eight prosthetic body modification services in the clinic.
Taking advantage of the man in front of him who relaxed his vigilance due to the surprise, Yin Xiong first dodged the trajectory of the pistol, then used his superior strength to grab the gun and pointed it at the man with long rose-red hair behind him. man.
"I know! That's the territory of the Valentino gang! His crazy man..."
"Haha, you bet on whether there are bullets in his gun."
"William Yinxiong, Mann Weihansen, um..." before the lower level checked the information of the people on the list, he said without any headache: "Then it's Edgewalker and Valenti The Nuo Gang colluded, and the robbery was actually related to Arasaka?"
