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

After everyone was arranged, Bai Rui was the only one left in the office.

Only then can she think about future decisions.

The Hive's armament must be strengthened.

After this battle with the Tiger Claw Gang, Bai Rui deeply understood that the current Hive was still too weak.

Not only are their numbers seriously insufficient, but their combat power is also clearly insufficient.

However, Hive's current funds are clearly insufficient to expand these.

The main source of income for the Hive now is Bai Rui's Xibeihuo prosthetics business. Although under her genius operation, prosthetic manufacturing has been largely automated, it is difficult to feed more people with this limited output.

We have to open the bar as soon as possible, and find other business avenues.

Bai Rui must get the Hive's funds moving as soon as possible.

Because she has enough money, she can recruit more people and make more attempts to improve the combat effectiveness of her subordinates.

Bai Rui knew that the Hive's high-end combat power was still okay. His girlfriend V and good brother Jack were now considered first-class mercenaries in Night City. Together with herself and her body, the high-end combat power was still barely enough.

But Bai Rui was still not satisfied, because she knew that no matter how strong the body was, it had its limits.

V and Jack both have very little prosthetic surgery on their bodies. Although they have become first-class mercenaries through experience and intuition, they are still flesh and blood after all. How can they compare with those guys who have modified their entire bodies?

Yes, she was talking about the one with Adam Sledgehammer.

According to Bai Rui's classification, the strongest mercenaries still alive in Night City can be described as "legends". Adam Hammer, the missing Morgan Blackhand, and Johnny Silverhand who is about to win the resurrection match, all belong to this category.

As V and Jack have not yet fully grown up, they can only reach the "epic" level below "legendary", just like her two current bodies.

Growth takes time, but Bai Rui doesn't have that time now. Jack and V are not very interested in prostheses, so she wants to take another shortcut.

That is, exoskeleton armor.

That's right, she plans to use exoskeleton armor to increase the strength of her subordinates. This is what she has been thinking about and preparing for recently.

Now, the Tiger Claw Gang's incident has sounded the alarm for her. It's time for her to speed up the development of the first generation of exoskeleton armor.

Chapter 142 It is common sense that Qingmei cannot defeat Tianzhang, Evelyn, become the loser!!!

Although Bai Rui thought about a lot of things, it was actually very simple and clear after summarizing it.

That is to make money and train soldiers.

To put it more elegantly, it means building high walls, storing up food, and slowly becoming king.

Although Night City is different from the border area, there is no king of Night City.

But in short, Bai Rui has started her action.

At this time, Judy, exhausted, had just returned home.

She was indeed very tired, both mentally and physically.

"Judy, you're finally back. I was so worried. The streets were in chaos just now. They said the Tiger Claws were going to go to war with Mox. I called you, but you didn't answer!"

As soon as I entered the door, Evelin, who was anxiously walking around in the living room, came to greet me.

Evelyn has changed a lot now. Her expression has become much softer, and her words are filled with weakness and concern that she rarely showed before.

Evelyn was still wearing the white T-shirt she had taken from Judy's closet, and she had no makeup on her face, looking very peaceful.

If her former acquaintances saw this, they would never associate this ordinary girl who could be seen everywhere on the street with the heavily made-up socialite.

According to Bai Rui, this Evelyn has a new skin - "Everyday Evelyn".

However, Evelyn, who looked anxious, was about to hug Judy as usual, but was forced back by a very pungent smell as soon as she got close.

Her brows furrowed subconsciously, and Evelyn only then noticed that something was wrong with Judy's condition.

He looked so tired that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, but that was not a big deal. The main problem was that his hair, which had been beautifully groomed, was now a mess on his forehead, covered in sticky dirt.

Judy's body was also covered with mud spots like sequins, especially the front, which looked like it had been soaked in muddy water.

From the shapes of the yellow mud, one can imagine how Judy crawled through the mud.

So Evelyn was stunned for a moment, and her open hands froze in the air.

In this situation, she couldn't do it either way.

"It's okay, there were just some... little incidents."

Finally, it was Judy who broke the deadlock. She waved her hand and dragged her heavy body into the house. Once she entered, she went straight to the bathroom.

What else could be the reason for all this awfulness?

Judy didn't expect that the secret passage Bai Rui mentioned was a muddy passage. She couldn't even lower her head or bend over, and had to walk on her stomach.

If it were just that, it would have been fine. But when she struggled to get out of the muddy sewer-like tunnel, bulging black plastic bags and snowballs from the garbage dump hit her head.

The exit of this secret passage is actually in a garbage dump.

What a genius idea! Haha, although Judy thought so, she couldn't laugh.

So, she returned to the apartment in this terrible state.

In the bathroom, with the shower head turned to the maximum, Judy rubbed her skin as if she had a grudge, not afraid of water getting into her prosthesis.

She used to think she wasn't mysophobic, until now.

No matter how she rubbed it, she could still smell the fermenting sewage and garbage from the landfill.

It was not until she rubbed her skin all over until it turned red and felt that the tattoo was about to be rubbed off that she felt a little better.

After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, Judy felt her body relax and her mind temporarily freed from the previous heaviness.

"Hey, Judy, here."

As soon as I entered the bedroom, I saw Evelyn sensibly placing a pizza heated in the microwave on the low table.

"I'm sorry, I can't cook, but I thought you were out all day and maybe you were hungry."

Evelyn scratched her head, feeling a little sorry for the slightly curled edge of the pizza in front of her.

She hadn't done this often before, so mistakes were inevitable.

"Evelyn..."

Seeing Evelyn sitting obediently on the bed with her hands and feet restrained, Judy shook her head with mixed emotions.

Evelyn had changed so much since she woke up from her coma that even her best friend hadn't quite gotten used to it yet.

After all, no one could have imagined that the Genting socialite who used to be extremely confident and as proud as a peacock would become what she is now.

Judy could only attribute this drastic change to a change in her temperament after experiencing a life-and-death crisis.

Maybe Evelyn has figured something out.

But in short, Judy was still pleased with the changes in her best friend.

It's much better than the socialite Evelyn who was mercenary and calculating and could use anything as a stepping stone to climb up.

"Thanks, Evelyn, but I'm not hungry yet."

Judy shook her head and sat down meekly next to Evelyn.

After the half-day homeless tour, Judy has no appetite for the time being.

"Okay, maybe we can go out for dinner later."

Evelyn was not sad about Judy's rejection.

After all, she was too embarrassed to let Judy eat the dry pizza.

Evelyn looked at the exhausted Judy, her eyes full of pity.

In fact, not only do others know that she has changed a lot, she herself is also very clear about it.

However, this change was not sudden. Instead, it was something she thought clearly after almost dying once.

Money, power, fame and fortune, just like many girls who have fallen into prostitution, she fell into the big web woven by these tempting things in her life in Night City and pursued them tirelessly.

Because she felt that all the troubles in life were due to not having enough money, not having enough power, and not having enough fame.

It's not about how much she paid, she became the top star in Cloudtop, she dealt with the upper class of Night City, even people like Arasaka Yorinobu were her frequent guests.

She had money and fame.

The money she makes in a day is more than many people save in their entire life.

Like many people, she thought everything she had could protect her.

But in the end, she found that everything she relied on and pursued was just a joke.

She was almost killed in a cyber attack, and all the money she had saved and the so-called connections she had accumulated were of no use at all.

Even the savings she had earned from selling her body were taken away by the Genting Club in the blink of an eye, while her business friends were all indifferent.

But in the end, it was Judy, her best friend, who saved her.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the nervous concern in Judy's eyes.

At that moment, Evelyn realized who in this world truly cared about her.

So, as if she had crossed a hurdle invisibly, Evelyn said goodbye to the past and stepped into a new world.

Everything in the past could no longer cause her any ripples. At this moment, her heart was filled with calmness as peaceful as water.

The first half of her life may have been ridiculous, but she still has a chance to correct it, to learn about new life, and to cherish the truly precious things that she had never noticed before.

So looking at Judy, Evelyn's emotions became heavier.

Although the food was a failure, she was confident that she had other ways to comfort Judy.

Judy was still lost in thought when she suddenly felt a chill and someone gently turned her face away with a hand.

"Evelyn..."

The first thing Judy saw was the emotions churning in Evelyn's calm eyes, and she understood her purpose in an instant.

Without refusing, Evelyn hugged Judy with both hands, her soft body pressed tightly against hers. She buried her head in Judy's neck and licked it affectionately, making an intimate sound of water.

The two are best friends, but they also have that kind of relationship from time to time.

It’s okay for best friends to open up to each other and have some sex occasionally.

This is the unique friendship between girlfriends in Night City, and this is what it’s all about.

Judy is no stranger to this and has enjoyed doing it in the past.

Because this kind of entertainment is the least harmful to the body nowadays.

But today, Judy can't find the passion she once had.

Passively feeling Evelyn's intimate caress, Judy endured it all with a frown.

Moreover, I felt more and more irritated.

Because she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It was as if something was embedded in my mind, and I suddenly thought of the figure I was hugging on the back seat of the motorcycle.

The smell of the other person and the feeling of black hair hitting his face became even clearer because of his current situation.

In a trance, he even felt a little hazy, as if the person doing these things to him was not Evelyn in front of him.

Judy was in confusion and distress.

But when Evelyn wanted to go a step further, the sudden movement woke Judy up like a drowning person.

"Wait, Xiao Ai! We can't do this."

The ambiguous mood was suddenly interrupted. Judy pushed Evelyn away as if strength was suddenly poured into her body.

"Judy..."

Seeing the confusion and puzzlement in Evelyn's eyes, Judy turned her head away guiltily.

"I'm sorry, Evelyn. I'm...not feeling well right now. I don't really want to do this."
