From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

Leo said nonchalantly, "A local middleman in the eastern suburbs. He has no manpower or guns, but he got started early and is relatively well-connected. He's just a small fry."

V couldn't help but glance sideways: When this guy next to her first arrived in Night City a month ago, he was so clumsy and impulsive, practically acting like a fake middleman. And now, after such a short time, he's already starting to look down on the local "veterans."

The vehicle traveled several hundred meters forward, and from a distance, the brightly lit "GARAGE" sign came into view.

A small group of people had already gathered at the entrance to the parking lot.

There were five men and two women, including a robust old woman.

Two armored vehicles were parked on the side of the road. Leo nudged V on the shoulder and instructed her, "You go with Jack. Only she is allowed to come. Stop the others."

V nodded and got out of the car with Jack in the car behind.

The strongest member of the Immortal Squad and the most intimidating-looking big guy went out together, directly overwhelming Dakota's group of auto mechanics with their imposing presence.

After exchanging a few words, Dakota walked over alone and sat in the seat that V had vacated.

Leo glanced at her a few times and casually handed her a poster.

[Purge Order]

After carefully reading through the document, Dakota rubbed his temples, a sudden wave of fear washing over him: thank goodness he came; if he had left L standing there, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Her informant assured her that Kangtao's hovercar had come by, accompanied by a senior company executive, and had unloaded a lot of cargo next to the camp.

Based on this, even if L is not one of Kangtao's people, he is still inextricably linked to them.

What does Kang Tao want to do?

When the names of large companies were mentioned, her voice would lower, as if she were afraid of disturbing something.

"Kangtao?"

Leo shook his head.

"No, it has nothing to do with Kangtao, it's just my personal idea—I want to revitalize Stone Ridge Mountain, and I plan to get rid of the annoying rats first."

Dakota wasn't surprised at all when he heard him refer to the Chaotic Blade Society and the Night Wanderer as rats.

People in big companies, in their eyes, are all animals or insects except for those in the same or higher positions.

She knew she couldn't stop L's actions, but she still couldn't help but advise him:

“L, things aren’t as simple as you think. This place is self-contained: the Chaotic Blade Society, the Wanderers, the Company, and the Drifters. They form a complete whole. If any one of them is missing, the delicate balance will be broken.”

"So...why pursue a 'delicate balance' instead of establishing a new balance?"

Leo dismissed her words with disdain.

"The Chaotic Blade Society in the eastern suburbs has at most a thousand or so members. I will wipe them all out and bring a new order to the eastern suburbs with blood and fire. Your people are welcome to join if they are interested, but if they dare to get in my way, then you'd better watch out."

After issuing the blatant threat, Leo pointed to the car door and said, "Alright, that's enough. You can think about what you're going to do."

Dakota got out of the car with a blank expression, clutching the poster tightly in his hand, and watched the two luxury cars drive away with a roar.

"Boss, what happened?"

"Who's that guy? That car is really nice!"

Her employees gathered around, looking at her with concern.

Dakota hesitated for a moment, then handed them the poster: "The East Suburbs are about to change. Get ready."

Rising to Fame: Chapter 273 What's in the Freezer... Oh my god, a miracle outside the freezer!

Having resolved a trivial matter, the vehicle continued its journey.

As they approached Hongfeng Pass and entered the city area, Leo said, "Don't go into the city yet. Turn left at the next intersection."

Vera lightly pressed the accelerator, her face full of doubt: "Are you sure?"

Turn left ahead and you'll head straight for the garbage mountain...

Leo smiled strangely and repeated, "Confirmed! Head deeper into the landfill, I'll take you to meet a 'true legend'!"

"A legend living in a landfill? My God..."

V held his forehead, for the first time losing interest in the word "legend."

Come to think of it, it's ridiculous enough to fail and die dramatically while doing something great, but how can there be a legend that's associated with a landfill... That's just too disgusting.

Regardless, the captain had given the order, so the two vehicles had no choice but to turn left and head along the garbage mountain range of Night City.

Leo dared not open the window, looking at the right side of the vehicle with disdain.

There, a row of interconnected concrete warning posts formed a makeshift boundary. The side with vehicles was considered the outer edge, barely leaving a passable path, while the inner edge was filled with all sorts of trash.

He strongly suspected that the Night City municipal authorities were simply dumping garbage there and then doing nothing about it.

Looking into the distance, a bonfire, whether caused by human intervention or an accident, was burning fiercely, sending up plumes of black smoke, but no one came to deal with it.

No wonder the environmental pollution in Night City has been slow to improve...

Continuing on, they passed a 2% alcohol gas station.

In the game, this place was attacked by night ghosts, resulting in a minor security incident.

But it's still open here, and some people dressed as scavengers are gathered in the gas station chatting.

When they saw the two luxury cars approaching, a look of surprise appeared in their eyes.

Even more incredibly, the two vehicles didn't stop; they continued deeper into the garbage mountain.

"Holy crap... that's a modified GTS 'G-Trailer', and a Type 66 in the back. What are they doing in this garbage dump with such good cars?"

A scavenger drinks a beverage and shoves his companion.

The other person glanced at it a few times and then turned back: "It's probably a place to dump corpses or something, otherwise why would they come to this godforsaken place?"

The scavenger who spoke first was tempted: "How about... we go and rummage through them after they leave? Their car is so nice, the 'trash' they threw away might be quite valuable."

"You go if you want, but I'm not going. That place is haunted..."

"Uh...you're right..."

Remembering the urban legends circulating in the garbage mountain area, the scavengers gave up the idea of ​​going deep into the garbage mountain.

Leo and his group encountered no obstacles and continued south, deep into the garbage mountain.

The further you go, the more blurred the line between the garbage and the road becomes. In the last stretch, the red and white warning posts disappear, and the garbage is piled up directly on the road, completely engulfing it.

The terrain also rose, and the vehicle drove up a real mountain of garbage.

"Shall we go further?"

Vera asked.

Leo nodded: "Continue, follow the path cleared by the scavengers."

“Oh, no…”

V took out a wet wipe beforehand, covered his nose, and casually drew his pistol, making thorough preparations.

The vehicle moved slowly along the rugged mountain road, and after two or three hundred meters, it reached the end of the road.

All sorts of garbage were piled up, blocking the road.

"There's no road ahead, and I don't see anyone around here."

V looked around warily, but found no trace of any living person. He then turned to look at the culprit.

Leo understood the confusion in her eyes and explained, "Don't all the legends of your Night City have to die first? Of course there are no 'living people' here."

V understood. "Which unlucky guy died in a place like this... Morgan Blackhand? Johnny Silverhand? And which other legendary figure's remains are still unknown?"

"Neither of those are true, you'd never guess!"

Leo chuckled twice, covered his mouth and nose with a wet tissue, and got out of the car.

Enduring the pungent odor, he led his friends to a corner of the "circular plaza" and, based on the game's location, found a specific freezer among the many abandoned ones.

“This should be it; it looks relatively new.” Leo’s prosthetic eye gleamed as he carefully examined the freezer that “bears a miracle.”

"An old freezer? This is what you brought us here to find?"

V carefully avoided the puddles on the ground, and tiptoed to observe.

"Here's a piece of advice: in Night City, it's best not to open abandoned freezers. At best, they might contain expired food with a stench that could kill you; at worst, they could contain rotting corpses or proximity bombs."

"This is alright, it's a modified hacker freezer... I guess."

Leo couldn't make any guarantees either, after all, a game is a game, and reality is reality.

“Hey, this is easy.” Jack casually walked to the front. “You guys step back a bit, I’ll open the freezer and see. With my carbon fiber muscles and subcutaneous armor, bombs are just a tickle!”

With a brave warrior volunteering, Leo stopped trying to be a hero.

After giving him a few instructions, he retreated to a relatively safe distance.

Jack strode forward, about to bend down, when he heard V shout a warning: "Wait a minute, something's not right!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone instinctively gripped their guns and looked around.

The depths of the garbage mountain remained quiet, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through.

There's no one around, and nothing is moving. What's V so nervous about?

Although nothing unusual was found, everyone trusted V's superhuman intuition and prepared for battle.

Jack slowly backed away, while the other four stood back to back, checking their surroundings.

V's gaze swept across the hillside, slowly focusing on the east side of the freezer, where several vehicle wreckages were piled together.

“Something is slowly approaching, it started when Jack got close to that freezer.”

Leo was horrified. He knew exactly what was in that freezer—the body of the legendary hacker Bartmore.

Could this actually be a trap?

Did a big company deliberately leave his body here to use as bait?

Not so much...

Just as he was about to warn V, he saw V pause and focus his gaze on a certain spot.

Following her gaze, through the gaps in the vehicle wreckage, a pair of gleaming eyes silently stared at the crowd.

Eyes that can glow?

Could it be a robot?

Leo instinctively raised his gun to aim, but it was blocked by V.

"Wait, it doesn't seem to have any malicious intent."

"it?"

"Yes, that size, it should be a cat."

V's guess was correct.

After a few minutes of stalemate, the figure hidden behind the wreckage cautiously emerged.

That's a cat, a black cat... a cybernetically modified black cat!

Upon seeing the cybernetic prosthetics covering its entire body, Sasha was suddenly stunned: "Hey hey hey—! This cat! This cat looks so familiar! I feel like I've seen it somewhere before!"

"Let me think about it...let me think about it carefully..."

She scratched her head and looked very excited.

After a dozen seconds, her eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right! This is Bartelmos's pet cat—Death Wish!!"

Rising to Fame: Chapter 274 The Legacy of Hacker God Barthemos! (Two-in-One)

A wish for death?

Barthes's pet!?

This is a true legend—a living legend!

Leo's mind went blank for a few seconds. He had come here for Barthemos's body, but unexpectedly found his pet cat, which was even alive...
