Night City, Watson District.
"The first target, the Whirlpool Gang."
In the car driving to Watson, Xu Qingshan whispered.
The Whirlpool Gang is one of the T0-level gangs in Night City. It is located in Watson District and the North Industrial District (NID). Its headquarters is located in the industrial area of Watson. There are six other gangs alongside it.
The Mox Gang, the Sixth Street Gang, the Valentino Gang, the Animal Gang, the Tiger Claw Gang, and the Voodoo Gang.
The seven gangs all have different philosophies and missions.
The founder of the Mox Gang, "Liz", was originally a prostitute. After spending some years as a strip club owner, she founded the Mox Gang.
She treats her employees equally and protects them from violence from customers.
The Mox describe themselves as "protectors of street workers from violence and abuse."
The Six Street Gang was founded by a group of veterans who participated in the "Fourth Corporate War."
The slogan was that they could not tolerate the inaction of the NCPD (Night City Police Department), so they started to form the Six Street Gang dedicated to protecting the people of Lijing District.
But now it seems that their provocation of the law and their slogan of "bringing justice to the city" cannot stand up to scrutiny. Instead, they look like self-convenient excuses.
The Valentino Gang orders its members based on strict moral standards and centuries-old traditions.
They control the predominantly Latino area of Haywood, adhering to values such as honor, justice, and brotherhood, and are willing to pay the ultimate price to defend them.
…………
There are seven gangs, but only three appear in the anime.
The Animal Gang who killed David's mother, the Tiger Claw Gang who kidnapped Rebecca but was killed, and the Whirlpool Gang who was killed by David indiscriminately.
And the reason why he chose to attack the Uzumaki Gang first was not because he was weak, but because he 'fell in' on the Uzumaki Gang at a glance when he chose a gang.
Among the seven gangs, the only one he had come into contact with was the Uzumaki Gang. His first impression was very bad. Maybe that was why he chose the Uzumaki Gang.
"Queen, invade their systems in advance and burn the heads of the Uzumaki Gang directly if they are in danger."
Due to his intervention, the story has quietly changed. He does not want Rebecca to die again, especially because of himself.
"The Queen receives it."
Don't worry, Master, I will definitely take care of it.
After this period of study, and her 'capital' is far beyond this era, no system in this world can defend her, and she can successfully break through it as long as she is given one second.
'One second?' I believe. '
In this world, advanced AI and hackers are the most lethal group of them. The half-machine, half-digitized body of 'Cyberman' is most afraid of being hacked.
At worst, the prosthetic body cannot be used, and at worst, the head is directly burned off.
In the anime, Lucy has burned many people's brains.
It was just a bang, sparks and lightning flashed from the inside to the outside of his head, and he died without even knowing who his opponent was.
The game is even more exaggerated. V connected Johnny's "AI girlfriend" Ultra into Arasaka Tower and immediately killed a wave of people, almost "slaughtering all the people" in Arasaka Tower.
Having broken through ICE's protection, the Cybermen are extremely vulnerable.
…………
While Xu Qingshan was giving instructions to the queen, Mann did a pre-war mobilization in the car behind.
"Are you ready?"
Looking around, Mann, who was holding a big gun, grinned.
The first target was the Uzumaki Gang. To be honest, he was still a little stressed.
However, the weapon in his hand gave him a lot of confidence. This was the latest model, and it was a level stronger than his prosthetic hand cannon. You might not even find blood foam after one shot.
In addition to the gun, there were a bunch of explosives and rocket launchers on the side... which made him grin from the corners of his mouth to his ears.
He would believe this configuration even if he beat Arasaka.
"Yeah."*6
He caressed the gun in his hand with his palm, a confident smile on his face.
They have never fought such a battle of wealth. They were just a small Whirlpool Gang, and they were blown up by him today.
'Today... kill me hard! '
…………
An hour later, outside the Watson Heavy Industrial Zone.
Click~
The two modified cars stopped slowly, and Xu Qingshan and the Mann team got out of the car at the same time.
"Are you waiting here? Or?"
Looking at Xu Qingshan, Mann asked.
Mann couldn't figure out what he was thinking about this man wanting to act with them.
Contributing money and efforts, and also personally participating in the action, what kind of trick is this?
Although I know you are powerful, there is no shortage of powerful people in Night City. If you make a mistake, who can we ask for the balance? A dog company?
"Together, of course."
Holding a big gun, Xu Qingshan showed a smile on his lips.
What he wants is not to simply destroy these gangs, but to control these gangs. If he is not present personally, then this action will be meaningless.
Moreover, this action is not to protect one from seven, but to protect seven from one.
"Then be careful and stay behind us."
If you hadn't given me so much, I wouldn't have been so polite.
"Hidden behind me, you know?"
Standing next to Xu Qingshan, Rebecca curled her lips and reminded.
"Um."
Looking at Rebecca's cute expression, Xu Qingshan smiled and nodded.
…………
After some arrangements, Falco, Lucy, and Qiwei stayed outside to cooperate, while the other four 'protected' Xu Qingshan as they headed towards the Whirlpool Gang.
'Pyrrha, Dorio, you protect him, you know? '
In the team channel, Mann gave instructions to Pyrrha and Dorio.
He and Rebecca were the main damage dealers in the team. When the fight came, they would not be able to focus on protecting Xu Qingshan.
'Know. '*2
Although reluctant, the two of them had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, the deputy mayor has his original body and has not been mechanically modified at all. It would be even more disturbing if he was also in the team channel.
'Lucy, Qiwei, you invade their system as soon as possible. '
'yes. '*2
Even if the two hackers do not appear on the frontal battlefield, they can still play a key role in the battle.
Short-circuiting the opponent's system, restarting their prosthetic body,... a series of operations can play a decisive role at critical moments.
…………
Da da da~
Bang~
"Pyrrha! Cover those two guys."
"Know."
Needless to say, Pyrrha knew this and immediately threw eight grenades from behind the bunker, sending them steadily to the opponent's bunker.
Unexpectedly, the deputy mayor was also of the same character as his sister. He couldn't hold back and rushed out. If there were a lot of guns and weapons, and they attracted firepower, he might be beaten to a stop.
"Dorio, rocket!"
"Know."
The two of them immediately leaned out of the bunker and cooperated with Rebecca and Xu Qingshan in front to suppress each other.
'Qiwei, Lucy, are you okay? '
While outputting furiously, Mann urged the two hackers in the team channel.
'There are a lot of people on the other side, but... that's it. '
As Qi Wei's words fell, the whirlpool gang suddenly became silent.
"Rebecca."
"I know."
Rebecca and Xu Qingshan looked at each other, then charged and killed with guns in hand.
Da da da~
Violent gunshots resounded throughout the industrial area.
