Carmela began adjusting the device, and soon, the person's precise image was scanned. Vito connected him to the NCPD database and filtered it, and his personal information appeared.

Angela Ace, known for her "angel eyes".

Members of the Night Wanderer.

Suspected of kidnapping, smuggling, selling unlicensed prosthetic bodies, murder, human trafficking, and robbing government officials.

"Good heavens, this guy really knows how to do all sorts of evil."

Vito glanced at the person next to Angela Ace and was surprised to find something unexpected.

Brian Simpson.

Members of the Night Wanderer.

Suspected of selling prohibited stimulants, fraud, and kidnapping.

"There might be an old acquaintance of yours, Brian Simpson, I don't know if it's the one you're looking for."

Vito sent Carlo a photo and then continued his investigation.

"Continue, let me see. Six 'Drone' drones, and what else? Four fixed turrets. Mark them."

Let me find out where their center is. Does this show-off Angel Eyes really enjoy dragging people to eat sand and feel the cold wind next to an Optimus Prime?

Because the camp was in a small town, Vito couldn't be sure where the Bayonet Gang stored their data; he could only keep an eye on which house Angela ultimately returned to.

"Vito, the battery only lasts for twenty minutes. We need to give the dragonfly three more minutes to land!"

Carmela reminded Vito that controlling the dragonfly with a mobile signal station was quite a burden, but Carmela gritted her teeth and persevered.

"Keep an eye on it. The defenses are all set up. Wait a bit longer. I need to find Angel Eye's hideout."

Fortunately, the Bayonet Gang members weren't masochists. After listening to Angel Eyes' victory speech, they all hid back inside the house.

Angel Eyes and Simpson went to the town police station.

"Even this run-down town used to have a police station. The rate at which NCPD has deteriorated in recent years is comparable to a meteorite fall!"

Vito had Carmela land the drone and disconnected her from the personal connection.

Only after the screen was cut off did Vito notice Carmela's pale face.

"Is this thing really that dangerous to drive?"

Carmela carefully landed the dragonfly, then took off the device and replied.

"Dragonfly has a flaw: its simple signal station can damage the user's nerves when it takes off and lands, so it must be equipped with a special signal vehicle. Military technology has phased out this thing for many years, but many dragonflies are still in use now."

"Why?"

"Because people are much cheaper than new devices."

Chapter 72 Let's wait for the unexpected to happen first.

Plop!

Carlo's prosthetic hand emitted a burst of flame.

Several people lit cigarettes around Carlo's hand.

Vito took a deep breath. Since arriving in Night City, Vito's smoking habit had become increasingly stronger. Even in the slightly better-quality Badlands, he would always light up a few cigarettes in his spare time.

"Putting a lighter on a prosthetic body, Carlo, you're quite creative!"

Jack looked at Carlo's prosthetic body with amazement.

"He used to always forget to bring a fire starter, which meant we'd be freezing cold every time we camped in the wilderness, and we'd have to huddle in the car. So he started bringing this thing with him."

Carmela rested for a while and now looks much better.

Vito, a cigarette dangling from his lips, squinted at his left eye as he fiddled with his tablet.

"Good news, folks. The Bayonet Gang's patrols are much laxer than we thought. There are no surveillance cameras, no one patrolling near the camp, and no decent guards."

"To be honest, I feel like the Bayonet Gang doesn't respect you guys at all. With such lax defense, even Dr. Kenpo could have gotten in and out seven times."

Carlo spat on the ground.

"These bastards, they'll pay the price for their laxity!"

"Who is Dr. Jianpeng?"

Carmela asked.

"Jianpeng is a shady gang in Night City, a scumbag with no professional ethics. He charges me five euros just to look in the mirror!"

Vito still gets an itch to think about it now.

Jack then spoke up and asked Carlo.

"Was the person Vito photographed lying to your sister?"

Carlo crushed the embers with his hands.

"That bastard, Simpson, I'm going to kill him!"

Vito's cigarette was mostly burned, and the ash dripped down naturally.

"Don't worry, you'll have plenty of opportunities to get revenge. I've taken a good look at the robots in the Bayonet Gang's camp. Although these robots are charging, they're ready to fight at any time. So the Bayonet Gang isn't afraid of anyone attacking their camp at all."

But are these Comptos bodyguard robots really as powerful as you say?

Carlo brushed the crumbs off his hands and replied.

“They are very difficult to deal with; they are more agile than ordinary civilian robots, or rather, they have a more combat-oriented mindset.”

Vito spat out his cigarette butt and handed the tablet to Carmela.

"They probably used some kind of chip. Jack and I took action, and you guys are here to meet up with the Snake Gang."

I can give you a small suggestion: you can attack the camp from the east, south, and west, and then ambush a group of men on the road to the north. Remind Max to keep a low profile and not give himself away.

After they finished speaking, Vito and Jack began to check their equipment. Vito handed his kinetic submachine gun to Jack as support firepower.

Both of them fitted silencers to their guns.

"Wishing you a good gaming session!"

Vito and Jack nodded, then plunged into the darkness.

They crept slowly toward the town in the dark, choosing to sneak in from the west, where the police station was closest and the security was laxest, with only one night owl patrolling the route.

They first crawled into a dilapidated house, where they could better avoid the drone patrols.

Vito and Jack crouched on the ground, their footsteps so light they were almost inaudible.

After exiting through the side door, the two found their way to the auto repair shop next to the police station. Their plan was to go from the roof of the auto repair shop to the second floor of the police station, since the two buildings were very close and just a step away.

Vito opened the side door of the auto repair shop. The dilapidated door creaked as it opened automatically, causing Vito and Jack to reflexively draw their pistols, ready to kill the startled person.

But no one paid attention to the sound of a broken door; the night ghosts here were already used to the town's dilapidated state.

Vito breathed a sigh of relief and gestured for Jack to follow him into the auto repair shop.

The auto repair shop had long been emptied out, with only the holographic TV on the ceiling remaining as original furniture.

The holographic television was on, broadcasting social news from Gillian Jordan, the main anchor of Channel 54 News.

"The king of crime in the Kabuki district has been murdered, Jotaro Seifu..."

A few supply crates were casually placed in the room and turned into beds. Three night-wandering ghost gunners wearing headbands and watching Mewtwo were twitching on the beds.

Vito glanced around and, seeing no heavy prosthetics, gestured for Jack to take action.

He pulled out a knife and stabbed one of the Night Wanderer's gunslingers in the heart, while Jack swiftly snapped the necks of the other two.

Once on the rooftop, Vito, having learned his lesson, didn't hack into the broken doors and windows. Instead, he changed his plan and decided to sneak down from the third-floor rooftop.

A signal station is set up on the third-floor rooftop, so there is a dedicated door that can be opened. This door is manual, and the noise is controllable.

He texted Jack, telling him to wait discreetly on the roof of the auto repair shop, and then quietly climbed up the police station wall to the third floor.

He used a knife to remove the screws from the iron mesh door, then slowly removed the door and sneaked into the police station. To Vito's surprise, there were no gunmen patrolling the entire police station; the Bayonet Gang had simply lowered the bar for the entire industry.

There was no data storage device on the third floor, so Vito went down to the second floor, found an evidence room where no one was in either of the rooms, opened the window, and let Jack in.

The two continued to explore and finally found a bunch of makeshift servers and several computers in an office. Vito told Jack to keep watch while he sneaked in and started downloading data.

After plugging in the personal connection and inserting the external chip into his computer, he sent a message to T-bug.

[The data cable is connected, and the puppet has been uploaded. Please download the file as soon as possible.]

[Received, releasing reptiles.]

About five minutes later, T-bug finished and sent a message to Vito telling him that he could disconnect.

Vito removed the chip from the computer and put it into a specially made magnetic shielded box for safekeeping.

The entrusted objective has been achieved; now all that remains to be dealt with is the Bayonet Gang.

He and Jack planned to exit through the police station's main entrance and then quickly drop an electromagnetic bomb at the location where the robot was charging.

Although Vito was very confident in his electric fireworks, the C7 explosive in the electromagnetic bomb had a small detonation range, which was not enough to blow up the paralyzed robot from a great distance.

As the two passed the room directly opposite the stairwell, Vito glanced inside and saw Angel Eyes and Simpson lying on a large bed, their arms around each other.

Vito said.

"So the security of the entire police station is worse than that of Arasaka Yoriyuki's suite in the Konpaku Building, because you're afraid of being disturbed, is that it!"

Vito ignored the two men and went down to the first floor with Jack. At that moment, a ghostly figure was stretching at the entrance of the police station.

Vito glanced at the robot in the middle of the town and estimated the distance.

At a distance of about seventy meters, it would take three seconds to throw an electromagnetic bomb, after which the two men would retreat directly to the west.

Vito pulled out a bomb and gestured for Jack to take out the person blocking the doorway.

Jack stepped forward and choked the Night Wanderer to prevent it from making a sound. Just as he was about to break its neck, Jack was struck hard in the abdomen.

"Damn it! Vito, it's a robot!"

Chapter 73 Betrayal Can Bring You Freedom

Any living being would feel pain and fear when attacked, but the Super Beast wouldn't, nor would the robot, because it's not a living being.

Sometimes, people tend to let their guard down when something is almost done. Jack and Vito both forgot to take a quick look before starting.

Vito, no longer concerned about being exposed, handed the robot disguised as a night watchman to Jack and dashed out of the police station.

Jack took a step back, delivered a powerful kick to deflect the Night Wanderer robot's raised gun barrel, and then quickly drew the Rational Shotgun from behind his back.

The rational gun fired two shots at the robot's head, knocking the robot to the ground by the powerful kinetic energy.

Then, Jack saw the Night Wanderer robot cover its face with one hand and push itself up from the ground with the other, and then it ran away in a flash.

Bang! Sizzle!

The electromagnetic pulse bomb detonated, destroying the Night Wanderer's robot. Vito quickly sent an attack message to the Snake Gang, then ran back to the police station. The whole process took less than ten seconds.

Where are the robots?

Vito yanked Salatoga off his back and deftly threw him off, then asked Jack, who was standing there dumbfounded.

"Ran."

Jack hadn't expected such a strange thing to happen.

"Never mind, let's get to the police station first, take out Angel Eye, pull out Levi, and then focus fire on Angel Eye later, that guy has heavy armor!"

Vito didn't stop and rushed towards the second floor, with Jack close behind.

Angela the Angel is a veteran of the Unification Wars. He was originally Kurt Hansen's subordinate, but after the Unification Wars ended, he didn't want to stay in that godforsaken place, Dogtown, with Hansen, so he went out and became a night owl.

This guy was a ruthless killer. With his cybernetic body and cruel methods, he quickly rose to prominence. He formed his own Night Wanderer Gang, the Bayonet Gang, and often engaged in murder and robbery.
