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

One after another, vehicles broke down and became stuck in the dust.

Soon, the van took several people into the depths of the storm and completely shook off the pursuers.

"Phew, maybe I need some blood pressure medicine."

Looking at the pursuers who had completely disappeared, Bai Rui let out the breath that had been held in his chest.

It was not easy for the main body to go out on duty, but after all the twists and turns, I almost couldn't hold on.

Damn, why?

Thinking about his own tragic experience, Bai Rui felt a little indignant.

Logically speaking, with the way he looks, whether he debuts in person or live streams in a disguise, he should be able to make a lot of money from the Night City otakus.

Is it still necessary to do this business of licking blood on the edge of a knife every day?

No, absolutely no.

......

"The storm is so strong, we have to find shelter for a while."

There was a strong wind outside the car window, and the noise seemed to be about to smash the window.

As the wind grew stronger, Panam's steering wheel was drifting and his vision became dim. He could only see the thick sand and dust in the sky that looked even thicker than yellow oil paint. The light from the car headlights could not even penetrate one meter.

It would be unwise to continue driving under such circumstances. They had to find a place to avoid the sandstorm first.

Fortunately, the wasteland is not really all sand like the desert.

There are many ruins of buildings in the wasteland that can provide shelter from wind and rain, thanks to Night City’s previous foolish expansion and resettlement plan.

Build new towns in the wasteland to alleviate Night City’s serious population problem.

The plan was perfect, but reality gave a slap in the face to those who really believed it.

Those fools who sold their property in the city to participate in the resettlement plan found that in this vast wilderness, the clean water and complete living security guaranteed by the salesmen in suits and ties could not be said to be unavailable, but simply did not exist.

All I could see were empty houses, the scorching sun, and land where nothing but cactus hair could grow.

Therefore, except for a few areas with decent living conditions, most of the newly built buildings are abandoned and are still being swallowed by wind and sand.

But for the group of people struggling in the storm, these abandoned houses became a life-saving straw.

"Look, there's an abandoned farm over there, Panam, drive over there!"

This is actually what Panam planned.

The person at the back didn't have the steering wheel and didn't know the real situation. She felt that this broken van was about to fall apart. The wheels kept drifting and were about to overturn the car and throw them to the ground, eating sand.

The car stopped just in front of the abandoned house. As soon as the door was opened, several people carried the injured Mitch and rushed into the house.

Bai Rui took the time to glance back, but this one glance left a deep impression on her.

The sky does not disappear completely, and all that can be seen by the naked eye is chaos.

Within a visible range of less than two meters, the dim air was filled with rolling sand and dust, and the evil whistles that came one after another were enough to pierce through people's eardrums.

The door closed tightly, and with a bang, it separated the two worlds inside and outside.

The room was pitch black, but it was a peace of mind at the moment because the violent wind and sand were isolated outside.

After taking a few glances with their guns and making sure that there were no homeless people or bandits hiding in the house, Scorpion and Thor put Mitch on the ground with his buttocks facing up.

"It's too dark, can someone go see if they can get some electricity?"

Panam was walking to check if the doors and windows were secure, but he almost tripped over an empty can on the ground and couldn't help but complain.

Unlike other modified guys, she, a flesh-and-blood person, does not have prosthetic eyes with night vision mode.

"I gonna go see."

Bai Rui leaned against the fireplace and took a few breaths. When he heard Panam say this, he got up and went to find the power switch in the house.

It's pitch black here, and it feels really uncomfortable without any light.

Bai Rui groped his way to find the power switch. The remaining people were either sitting on the old sofas or leaning against the wall, breathing slowly and recovering their strength.

After such a big fuss just now, when they sat down, their bodies felt like they had been beaten up. Fatigue and exhaustion swept over them all at once, and several of them almost collapsed on the spot.

"I'm going to go see Bai Rui."

Only V, despite the fatigue that was rising up in his head, went to find Bai Rui.

Chapter 224 Friends, have you heard of the Beehive? ! !

In the dark corridor, Bai Rui was tinkering with the electrical box on the wall, trying to find out which circuits were still useful.

V came from behind and leaned against the wall with his arms folded.

"Why, you're too shy to see anyone and come to me?"

Bai Rui joked as he worked.

"Tsk."

V's answer was crisp and clear.

After watching Bai Rui's operation silently for a while, V couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This house has been abandoned for at least a decade. Does the power system really still supply electricity here?"

"You know the chaos in Night City's power system. Even the solar windmills in the wasteland don't know which ones are broken and which ones are still usable."

"What's even funnier is that they even supplied electricity to a long-abandoned factory for five years."

Bai Rui blew away the dust on the slot, inserted the spare plug, made sure it was firmly plugged in, and then pulled the switch.

Sparks flashed a few times on the circuit board, but it finally stabilized and the lights in the room came on.

"Mmm, done."

Bai Rui put his hands on his hips, with a look of great pride on his face, as if he was about to praise me.

"Awesome, awesome! Our Bai Rui is truly a little genius!"

V couldn't help laughing when he saw Bai Rui's cute look, but he still resisted the urge to rub Bai Rui's little head with his hands, and even took the time to wipe the dust off the little naughty boy's nose with his index finger.

"Hey, you're coaxing the kid."

Bai Rui sensed something was wrong and reacted. He was annoyed by V's attitude of teasing a child. He shook his head to avoid V's disrespectful hand, rolled his eyes at him and walked out.

......

"The Luan Dao Society is very wrong this time. They want to find out everything, including the location of the tribe, the deployment of troops, how many guns, how many vehicles..."

In the living room, sitting on the sofa, Saul talked about his experience when he was imprisoned by the Luandao Society.

Unfortunately, all the Adecados who were captured with him were killed. Only he survived because they wanted to pry information about the Adecado family from him and use it as a bargaining chip.

But Thor, who was rescued, did not relax.

From the questions asked by the Luandao Society, he sensed something very bad.

"You mean, they want to launch a general attack on us?"

Panam listened for a while and expressed his guess.

"That's what I'm afraid of."

Thor nodded solemnly.

As a new outsider, it is normal for Adecardo to be hostile to local gangs of fallen wanderers such as the Randao Society and the Night Walkers.

But now it is no longer as simple as fighting for the road and attacking lone individuals. Judging from the tone of the Luan Dao Society, they are planning to wipe out the Adecardo family in one fell swoop.

Hearing this speculation, several people from the Adecardo tribe felt solemn.

Because they know that the current Adekado might not be a match for the Luan Dao Society.

If an all-out war breaks out, they will definitely be the losers.

And the failure of the Wanderer family is really a serious matter.

The scorching sun and scarce resources in the vast desert can devour every last bit of humanity.

If a family fails in an all-out war, it will most likely have no breathing space.

Those who are lucky enough to survive will be hunted down like wild dogs until all the resistance forces are dead, leaving no one alive.

Failure means total destruction.

Every wanderer knows this well.

"The atmosphere seems very solemn, everyone."

Just as everyone was silent, Bai Rui came over with V.

With his hands folded, Bai Rui sat at the table and just looked at them.

She heard what several Adecados had said earlier.

In fact, even if she didn't hear it herself, Mitsuhide heard it all.

"Let's not talk about sad things. I am very grateful for your help. Without you, I would have died in the hands of the Random Sword Society."

Thor shook his head and was about to change the subject, but was stopped by Bai Rui.

"Ah, it's okay, go on. We are friends who have been through thick and thin together. If you tell me what's wrong, maybe I can help you."

Bai Rui shrugged. She hadn't heard enough of this gossip.

She has always had a very good nose, just like she can tell which girl it is by smelling her perfume.

She sensed from Thor's words an opportunity to bring the Adecardo family to her side.

Thor supported his chin with his hand and pondered for a while. Although he didn't think the mercenary in front of him could be of any help, he continued speaking.

After all, this is a reality that we are forced to face, and it is not a secret at all.

"We can't win this battle on our own. We have to..."

Thor hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by someone else.

"So we have to rely on the company, is that what you think, Saul?"

"Sell us off to Biotech?"

Panam spoke out first, and looking at Thor's expression, he knew that Panam was right.

"But we are wanderers, how can we rely on the company?"

Looking at the two big guys arguing as usual, Scorpion and Mitch couldn't get a word in and were just minding their own business.

One of them was looking up, as if there was a beautiful girl in faded clothes on the ceiling; the other one was wiping the dagger again and again, and after he finally finished wiping the dagger, he began to wipe his big leather boots.

It’s not because they don’t have their own ideas, but they are too embarrassed to say them.

Search

Thor wanted to keep his family away from conflict, so he brought them to Night City.

Then he turned to biotechnology, and earned supplies and protection by running errands for them and repairing generators in the wilderness.

This sounds like a helpless move.

But it seems that this helpless move doesn't work.

The company is still the same shitty guy, making them work like dogs but not delivering any real results. The talk of providing protection is just bullshit.

The Luan Dao Society and the Night Wandering Ghost continued to provoke them on the road, and tried every means to find the location of their camp in order to completely destroy them.

And they retreated again and again, and retreated back into their old nests.

It sounds very cowardly, and it is indeed very cowardly.

But is it right to listen to Panam?

Even if they let loose and fought against the chaotic swords, they had no advantage in numbers and weapons, so they could not win and could only die in vain.

So the quarrel between Panam and Thor can only end up like before, with no result.

Because Adecardo still looks like he's breathing, but he actually has no choice at all.

Following the company means slow death, as you never know when it will be sold out. However, if you really fight for territory, you will only die faster.
