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

Veterans living on the streets, bankrupt vendors, and even cyber-psychopaths.

In just a few minutes, another look of Night City under the neon lights and another group of people appeared before the world.

They are all patients who cannot afford regular prostheses, and everyone can identify with them.

Regardless of whether they were numb or moved, everyone fell silent after watching these few minutes.

Just as they were trying to figure out their inner emotions and didn't know how to express them, the scene changed and a person appeared in the video.

She had black hair and a pretty face. Her expression was hard to tell whether it was calm or wooden. Her obsidian eyes held a little light that seemed to show both pity and determination.

Finally, she spoke.

Chapter 264 The world will eventually belong to those who suffer!

"In the face of evil and injustice, in the face of darkness and oppression."

"Whose side are you on? Night City."

"I am the hive, and we choose to fight."

“We choose to fight, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.”

"Because fighting makes us remember why we are human."

"From the west coast of the Pacific Ocean to the port of Maryland, from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico, every Night City citizen, every person who still has hope in their hearts, we need your help."

"Choose to fight, now and forever."

......

In the office, everyone is there.

Bai Rui, V, Jack, Dr. Victor, Judy, and even Panam who came to help.

Everyone was there, but no one spoke.

The evening glow shone into the house through the floor-to-ceiling windows, waiting with them.

"You won't believe it, we succeeded!"

Nancy opened the door and walked in, her face full of excitement.

"The video reached three million views in just a few hours, and is still rising rapidly. Most people are on the side of the Hive. Bai Rui, we won this battle!"

Faced with Nancy's excitement, Bai Rui just nodded calmly.

People's hearts came to their side.

Once again, the ancient concept of justice came into play.

How effective this will be remains to be seen.

But now Bai Rui will not forget that they still have a real battle to fight.

“Dulululu…”

The phone finally rang.

Bai Rui, who had been waiting for a call for a long time, picked up the phone.

Roger's voice came from the other end of the phone, becoming more and more anxious.

"Bai Rui, the Tiger Claw Gang is moving!"

"A large number of Tiger Claw gangs are gathering in Japan Street. NCPD has issued a Level 2 alert. The Kabuki District and Little Chinatown will fall into silence."

"The war... has begun."

"I understand."

If it was a few days ago, Bai Rui would still feel a little uneasy, but now, she just feels calm.

She is ready.

The hive is ready.

At a glance, V, Lao Wei, Judy, Panam..., they were all looking at him, their eyes full of expectation and fighting spirit.

Just let the Tiger Claw Gang come over.

Bai Rui thought to himself.

She stood up.

"Everyone, success or failure depends on this move, let's go!"

......

This night is destined to be a restless night.

On the third night after declaring war, the Tiger Claw Gang finally launched their attack in a blatant manner.

A large number of Tiger Claw Gang fighters gathered on Japan Street, ready to cross the river bridge into the Kabuki District, and then to the Beehive Building in Little Chinatown.

As the Tiger Claw Gang gathered, a breathtaking number came through.

Eight hundred people.

The Tiger Claw Gang assembled a total of 800 people to prepare to attack the Hive.

A lion will fight a rabbit with all its might. Although the Tiger Claw Gang did not think the Beehive could pose any threat, they put all their efforts into it from the beginning.

In their eyes, this may not be a war, but just a demonstration.

The beehive will be crushed by them like an ant.

Faced with the Tiger Claw Gang's high-profile actions, the NCPD remained silent.

In fact, the NCPD has remained silent in all the gang wars. As long as there are no weapons of mass destruction, the unspoken rule of not harming civilians has been violated. They are happy for these gang members to fight each other. The only thing they need to do is to make civilians stay at home and throw the bodies on the street into the river after the war.

A gang war usually does not last long. After all, probing is done in ordinary street fights. Once a large-scale attack is launched, it means that one side is sure of victory.

This usually doesn't last long, a few hours at most.

The NCPD's assessment of this operation is that within an hour, the Hive will be completely destroyed, and the Tiger Claw Gang will win once again.

At the same time, the hyena-like media in Night City also smelled the blood and came up. Hundreds of drones from various media came to Little Chinatown and Kabuki District to bring first-hand information to their cruel audiences.

There's nothing more thrilling than a gang war.

All the people in Night City were caught in a frenzy, waiting impatiently in front of the TV for the fight to start, just like they were waiting to watch a football game. Human lives were nothing more than visual material to stimulate adrenaline.

......

Bai Rui brought his men to the second floor. On the first floor, everyone had already gathered.

All the Hive mercenaries, plus a dozen reinforcements from the Adecardo family.

There are two hundred and thirteen people in total.

Two hundred versus eight hundred.

Everyone is mentally prepared that this will be a tough battle.

Standing in the corridor on the second floor, Bai Rui could clearly see the dense crowd on the first floor. He was familiar with all these faces.

Veteran, mentally ill, unstable.

There are many names for these people in Night City, but Bai Rui believes that they have only one identity: victims of war.

They found themselves and wanted to live a normal life here.

But now, Bai Rui had to push them into war again.

Bai Rui felt an indescribable guilt.

As if it were fate, an unknown force always pushed people into painful choices, as if it was destined from birth.

"Nancy, are you ready?"

Looking at the faces downstairs, some enthusiastic, some calm, but not afraid, Bai Rui grabbed the railing and felt like he wanted to say something.

"Get ready. The live broadcast has begun. I have also authorized all media to reprint this. At this moment, the entire Night City is watching you."

Ok.

Bai Rui nodded silently, then spoke slowly.

“Our alliance is strong and vibrant.”

“Right now, we are being tested, and this is not happening by accident.”

"The Tiger Claws attacked us out of greed and arrogance."

"They're betting we'll be scared."

"You bet we'll drop our guns and run away, not daring to put up a fight."

"They think our unity will crumble at the first test."

“They think we’re weak.”

“But they were wrong.”

Bai Rui emphasized his tone.

“That’s so wrong.”

"Even in the city, war is never far away from us."

"Corrupt corporations, brutal gangs, and betrayal at every turn."

“You have been victims.”

"You were driven into battle but you didn't know why, you died in the trenches but no one knew, you came back but you were only told lies!"

“This is a time when fear overwhelms hope, and they do whatever they want, thinking it will last forever.”

"But they don't know that the flame of resistance burns in our hearts."

"If the world's suffering belongs to us, then the world should also belong to us!"

"Fight, brothers and sisters!"

"What we lost were our chains, and what we gained was the whole world!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Victory, Lili!"

"Fight, fight, fight!"

Bai Rui's roar hadn't even finished before it was overwhelmed by the overwhelming cheers.

Waving their guns and patting their chests on the armor they had picked up, the Hive Mercenaries shouted and roared, their eyes bloodshot, their pupils and the blood vessels in their necks swollen to the extreme.

Bai Rui's words struck their hearts directly.

They were in a frenzy.

"Let's go and fight. According to the previous plan, we will give the Tiger Claws a warning."

Bai Rui stopped looking at the cheering crowd, wiped the sweat from his face due to the speech, and looked at V and Jack behind him who could not hide the shock on their faces.

Amid the cheers, their hearts were shaken. Bai Rui's fair face seemed to be filled with some kind of sacred light, and they unconsciously knelt down in front of her.

Bai Rui's skin now looks as white as glass under the light, his expression is cold, and the fanaticism in the ripples of his eyes is rolling like magma.

She was like the goddess of war who had descended to earth, and people's hearts were like plasticine that could be kneaded at will in front of her.

Make friendly forces fanatical and make enemies tremble with fear.

In front of the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, the neon lights of Night City flicker at night.

Only those who understand the power of money know how much money is flowing under the surface through these lights at night.
