In Night City, I was picked up by a female V

"Besides, do you think I'm a little girl who needs comfort from others?"

"and......"

Panam glanced at Mitsuhide.

"Your comforting skills are terrible."

"Well, thank you."

It seemed that he had messed up, and Bai Rui was so embarrassed that he wanted to pick his feet.

“But it’s really unexpected.”

"Accident? What accident?"

"I thought you were just a sharp-tongued person, but I didn't expect you to have the heart to comfort others."

"Just kidding, if you know me well enough you'll know that I'm actually a very friendly person."

"Yeah... indeed."

Panam gripped the steering wheel and clicked his tongue as he listened to Mitsuhide's shameless words.

"Are you familiar with Stone Ridge Mountain? I heard it's a ghost town now. There's not even a hair left. Everyone has either moved back to Night City or fled."

"Then you know almost everything."

Night City's overpopulation has always been a problem, and the Night City Council has also made efforts to build several outlying towns around the wasteland.

But all these efforts came to nothing. The merchants and residents attracted by the cheap land prices soon discovered that the wasteland was a barren place with a lack of water, electricity and food, and occasional sandstorms.

So, the plan was successfully ruined, leaving only a mess and empty buildings in the wasteland.

This problem is particularly serious not only in Stone Ridge Mountain, but throughout the United States. There are at least thousands of such ghost towns across the country.

After the invasion of war and over-development, nature no longer welcomes humans, and begging for food in the wilderness is an extremely difficult task.

Only wanderers can barely survive on the earth while migrating everywhere, just like the cacti standing on the ground. It makes people wonder what kind of hardship can wipe out the vitality in this wilderness.

Chapter 124 Reward plus update!!! One hour and fifty-five minutes to complete Stone Ridge Mountain!!!

"This is it, Stone Ridge Mountain Town."

Looking at the scene outside the window, Mitsuhide couldn't help but speak.

He finally understood why these places were called ghost towns.

All the buildings are available, including bars, residential buildings, and even a primary school.

But everything seemed to have been abandoned. The street signs were rusted, the houses were covered with dust, the windows were smashed as expected, and glass fragments could be seen scattered on the cracked asphalt road. Of course, like everything else, it was buried in the dust.

If that were all, Bai Rui could still say that this was all left behind by a master who had gone out and forgotten to come back, just like a childhood toy locked in a box, and the rural hometown that he was about to leave with a bolt on the door.

Although it is old and weathered, it makes people wonder if the owner will come back one day, and then everything will seem to return to its original state.

What really sentenced this town to death was the sound.

The dry wind from the wasteland whistled, bringing with it dust and sand, making the creaking fences and overturned iron sheets whimper, as if something was crying or wailing.

When hearing this voice, people suddenly realized that everything was over, and the idea that a certain opportunity could return everything to the way it was was ultimately just a delusion.

The town was dead, completely.

"...The Randao Society will come after dark. We just need to get some electricity to give them a surprise."

"Let's go to the substation and see if we can get these old machines started."

Towns outside Night City generally use solar energy, and even Night City itself has a considerable portion of its power generated by solar energy and wind power. This does not mean that Night City pays attention to environmental protection.

Rather, the fossil energy on this land has been exhausted in wars and over-exploitation.

But thanks to this, the wilderness is littered with half-broken wreckage of wind turbines, which can be useful from time to time.

Panam hopes that this substation can still generate some electricity.

Maybe not, he can handle all the random swordsmen by himself.

Mitsuhide wanted to say this, but when he saw Panam's serious look, he decided to just go along with what he wanted.

After all, I took on the responsibility and got the job done. Maybe a strong-willed person like Panam might not appreciate it.

So, Mitsuhide still let Panam check the substation.

"The transformers in the substation provide power to the streetlights and billboards at the intersection. When the time comes, as long as the circuit is connected, this place will be as bright as Christmas, you know."

Panam squatted on the ground, fumbled with the open electrical box for a while, and put forward his ideas.

"Once they see the lights, they will be scared like a group of mice. That's when we will perform."

Mitsuhide nodded.

"Yeah, that's it..."

Now that we have the solution, the question is how to restore power to the substation.

Finally, Panam decided to use the battery in the car to start the fire.

Connect the two cables to the car's battery and a burst of sparks will appear, which means it's done. Mitsuhide only needs to guard the switch terminal and give a surprise to the Random Swordsmen who will come at night.

"I'll ambush at the top of the tower so that the entire intersection of the town can be covered. Wait for my signal and then turn on the switch immediately."

"Um, yes, ma'am."

In this way, two people, one ambushed on the top of the tower, and the other ambushed next to the electric box on the iron house, waiting for the night to fall and the random attacks to come.

"...It's getting dark."

Mitsuhide said something when he saw the sunset in the sky.

"Yeah, I saw it."

Panam's noisy words came to my ears.

Panam is a complete flesh man, without any modification on his body. Even the way he makes phone calls is the same as Mrs. Wells, who is also a flesh man.

The Wanderer Tribe does have some anti-cyborg traditions, but they are not so severe. They will all install some basic prostheses to a certain extent. After all, they are all on the edge of death, and the strengthening of the human body by prostheses is obvious to all.

Therefore, guys like Panam who do not have any prosthetics on their bodies are rare even among the wanderer tribe.

Out of curiosity, Mitsuhide asked directly.

"Prosthetics? Hmm... you are really curious."

Panam, who was standing on the top of the water tower, looking at the end of the road in the distance through the sniper rifle scope, felt speechless.

"The answer may bore you. I'm not against prosthetics. I just didn't have money before, so I didn't get one. Later, I thought it was good not to have prosthetics, so I just stopped getting one."

Not all questions have answers, and not all answers are satisfying.

At least the reason why Panam didn't wear prosthetics is simple: he didn't have the money before, and he has no interest now.

"Um... okay."

Mitsuhide felt that he was embarrassing himself.

But meat is good, especially young meat, Bai Rui likes it the best.

It’s better to wait until you are too old to walk before getting prosthetics.

"Wait, don't make any noise, someone is coming!"

Suddenly, Panam's hurried words came to my ears.

Before Panam finished speaking, he could faintly hear the roar of an engine, getting closer and closer, and it sounded like it was coming towards him.

"I saw it. Damn, it's the Luan Dao Society. That's my car. I'm going to kill these bastards."

Panam spoke excitedly. When she saw her beloved car, the "Tingwei" SUV being driven by someone, she was furious. She gritted her teeth and wished she could smash and kill those who had defiled her car.

Listening to that familiar engine sound, it now only brought pain and humiliation to Panam. She couldn't believe how these unscrupulous bastards treated her beloved car.

Mitsuhide, listening to Panam's furious speech of helplessness, like a victim of NTR, hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Hey Panam, calm down, follow the plan, we can get your car back."

"Uh... yeah! It's okay, we can do it quietly and grab my car."

Although the sound quality was poor, it was not difficult for Mitsuhide to hear that Panam was suppressing his anger.

"Okay, don't shoot yet. Let me do it. I will make sure your car doesn't sustain any damage."

Guangxiu saw three or four cars coming with headlights on at the end of the road and told Panam not to worry.

Next, all we have to do is get those guys out of the car.

After all, we still have to consider Panam's car. If we cut both the man and the car into pieces, Panam's line will be doomed.

".....Fuck, why is it so dark, where is the person?"

Three or four cars of the Luandao Society stopped at the intersection. At this time, night had completely fallen and the buildings on all sides were submerged in the dark sky. Only their outlines could be seen vaguely.

On the road, members of the Luan Dao Society got out of the car, but they couldn't help but shout and curse.

One reason was that the wasteland was too cold at night, so cold that the breath they exhaled turned into white frost. Several members of the Luan Dao Society got out of the car, rubbed their hands, and looked unhappy.

The second reason was that the people from the Six Street Gang who had agreed to trade with them had not arrived yet, which made them even more angry.

However, since they arrived a little early and it was not yet the agreed time, they could only wait for a while.

"You, and you, watch that direction. And you two, don't hide in the car, go to that building and watch the direction of the main road."

A female member of the Luan Dao Gang with a Mohawk hairstyle got out of Panam's car. As soon as she got out of the car, she started giving orders to the other Luan Dao Gang members around her, asking them to move, as if she was the leader of this group of people.

However, everyone was busy, but she was happily leisurely. She took out a cigarette and lit it, while also complaining about the overly cold air at night and the wind that could kill people.

"Okay, hurry up and take my car back while they are in chaos!"

"It's best to do it quietly. If you're discovered, I'll open fire to help you!"

"Just wait and see."

Listening to Panam's hurried instructions, Mitsuhide calmly pulled down the hand valve on the electrical box.

There was a "pop" sound of electric sparks, and the wires on the lamp posts around the intersection also exploded with electric sparks, making a teeth-grinding sound of electricity.

As the electric current suddenly flowed in, the surrounding street lights and neon signs immediately burst into light, illuminating the entire road.

"What the f*ck is going on!?"

"Fuck! We're ambushed!"

This sudden change shocked the Luandao Society, and they were at a loss for a moment. At first they thought that the Six Street Gang was going to rob them and kill them.

"Quick, quick, hide!"

The man with the mohawk closed his eyes due to the blinding light, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.

With her rich experience in gun battles, she immediately shouted, bent over and ran behind a trash can on the side of the road.

"Well, let's take this opportunity to kill that cousin. I saw the car keys on her waist!"

Seeing that the attack had already begun, Panam quickly pointed out the target to Mitsuhide.

"It's okay. I can handle it."

Seeing that the Rantokai fell into chaos, Mitsuhide knew that his opportunity had come, and at the same time he did not forget to comfort Panam.

"Look, I'm going to show you a speedrun through Stone Ridge Mountain."

"what?"

Before Panam could hear Mitsuhide's words, Mitsuhide had already turned into a black shadow and rushed out.

During the charge, the two knives at the waist were instantly unsheathed, making crisp sword sounds.

A "sensitivity" and a "scalpel" are both fine swords. Using them to deprive the enemy of his life is a pleasure.

The "scalpel" was Kikyo's trophy, but obviously, she didn't need that thing, so after Bai Rui's fair distribution, the knife fell into Mitsuhide's hands.

And now, it is about to drink the blood of its first battle.

"Fuck, what is that?"
