Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Xiangzi pointed back at the old radio on the doctor's desk.

"Next time you use the 20% dose of Brain Dance Therapy, turn down the volume of the radio."

Xiangzi said.

Chapter 310: Site selection completed, water and electricity first

Walking out of the clinic, Xiangzi wrapped his coat tightly in the cold January wind.

She exhaled deeply.

Along with the cold air, the smell of green leaf smoke and solder that filled the streets also entered my mouth and nose.

"(Maybe we should get more tobacco varieties.)"

Xiangzi thought.

Cheap e-cigarettes always have a lingering smell of solder. When too many people smoke, the air smells like tar.

Although Xiangzi has the lowest level of restrictions prohibiting [inhalation directly into the lungs], there are still some guys who are more seriously cyber-modified who would rather pay a fine than put the e-cigarette directly into their lungs - because it feels more "cool" that way -

But that would be very wasteful and cause serious environmental pollution. Moreover, it would accelerate the aging of the lung prosthesis and significantly increase the number of repairs.

Importing some advanced e-cigarettes and turning them into a status symbol may solve this problem. Because among the believers, those who have undergone lung modification usually perform better than others.

"..."

But if high-end e-cigarettes are to be made into a status symbol, Xiangzi has to smoke them himself.

It is not convincing to say that something that even “leaders” don’t use is advanced.

Xiangzi frowned because of this.

Tobacco, alcohol, drugs, intimate contact with or without cybernetics and special software. Xiangzi doesn't like these behaviors that can easily bring dopamine and endorphins.

These would remind her of the room that smelled of drugs, her father who died in his own vomit, and his bones that broke at the slightest touch.

The cyberpsychiatrist said that this was an unhealthy behavior for her. He said that she resisted quick relaxation methods because she was showing signs of endogenous endorphin intoxication, and he used a lot of terms that Xiangzi suspected he was using to show off his academic expertise.

"This disease is very rare in the cyber age. It is a kind of mental cleanliness... It means that the patient can only accept the happiness obtained through his own efforts and pursue it fanatically... It manifests as a workaholic with extremely high tolerance... Over-effort is a problem with a high lethality index in the cyber age, and it is usually complicated by cyber psychosis..."

The cyberpsychiatrist also said something like this.

However, after knowing that this problem would not have any impact on his work and could be suppressed by taking medication, Xiangzi did not pay any attention to it.

In fact, when the therapist was talking about the second half, Xiangzi had already started to think about the construction of the 3D printing workshop in the territory.

Xiangzi walked out of the corridor of the half-finished building where the cyber psychiatrist lived.

One of the two gunmen following her briefly left.

A moment later, he returned here driving a small [Galina "Rat"].

……

[Galena "Rat"] speeding on the road.

Xiangzi sat in the car, watching the buildings, the tall pump towers of the underground seawater pumps, and the cooling tower of the Chun No. 2 Power Plant passing by outside the car window.

Power supply facility area, water supply facility area, and surrounding maintenance personnel residential area.

These three small areas, collectively known as the "Infrastructure Zone", were started to be built during the "Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land" or "Phase 2 of Michelle Park".

After the regional functions were modified, only this part was hardly modified and was retained naturally.

The urban construction team simply added a few more towers to the area. Moreover, these new towers were completed long before the virus "destructively occupied [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land]".

It is worth mentioning that due to insufficient land allocated in the original plan, the newly built part of the power plant was changed to use wind power and solar power generation methods that are on the verge of being eliminated.

Xiangzi thought that the people who initially approved this plan simply did not want the [Infrastructure Zone] to squeeze out the economic areas such as the residential and food zones on the left and right.

But the fact is that now, these wind and solar power generation methods ensure that the "evil gangsters" - Ave Mujica and their followers, can still have electricity when the complex grain alcohol fuel needed for the Alcohol No. 2 Power Plant is difficult to obtain.

“(The person who approved this plan probably never thought that his plan allowed a group of gangsters to survive.)”

Xiangzi thought with self-mockery.

……

The riot that occurred in [Phase 2 of Reclamation Land] about three months ago was a disaster.

Xiangzi fired a shot and turned on the light.

To this day, Xiangzi has to admit that he is still not calm enough and cannot control himself properly in an emergency.

At that time, Xiangzi could not accept the failure.

It was as if all the blood in her body was pumped to her brain. She only knew that she shouted something, but she couldn't even remember what she shouted.

Afterwards, she recalled what happened when she looked at the super dream disc extracted from her head for [Brain Dance Therapy].

She was forcibly taken away by Chuhua and Hailing.

The two men dragged Xiangzi away and injected him with twice as much sedative as the normal person, and only then did they successfully make Xiangzi fall into a coma.

They brought Xiangzi back to the ground.

Xiangzi's Chaomeng didn't see the situation on the ground because she fainted at that time.

But her teammates saw it.

Later, when Chu Hua reviewed the incident, she said that she thought at the time that "the fifth corporate war was about to start here."

Hai Ling said: "The high-energy weapons fired by the Toyokawa family and the Seven Bands lit up the sky red."

Mu said: "All channels are down. The electronic warfare content is zero."

Miao Meng said, "I don't know. After the network crashed, the remote hackers could only play Tetris in the computer room."

Just by listening to their stories, Xiangzi felt that this place was over.

But then the battle never really turned into a major war.

Xiangzi is crazy. The big guys are fighting. Chuhua and Hailing are anxious to leave Reclamation New Land Phase 2 to find a cyber psychiatrist and avoid becoming the target of EMP bombs, virus bombs and even white phosphorus bombs.

They retreated with the crazy Xiangzi. Xiangzi almost bit off Hailing's hand, but everything was still under control. Chuhua held Xiangzi tightly and pressed her into the back of the Columbus freight van, while Hailing drove the vehicle out.

Neither of them paid much attention to the situation around them.

However, they still remember seeing Afterglow, RAS, Morfonica, and the Toyokawa family's private soldiers when they left.

But when they rushed through the [Reclamation Phase 2] level, they saw Poppin'Party and Roselia entering from another path.

Chapter 311 Listen to the Cyber ​​Psychopath

The entrance of Poppin' Party and Roselia obviously changed things.

Because after that, the red clouds above [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land] caused by the high heat rays gradually dissipated.

Chuhua and Hailing appeared in Morfonica's territory. They took Xiangzi and broke the window of a private cyber psychiatrist's clinic, jumped in, and threatened the therapist with a gun to inject Xiangzi with antagonist drugs - even though the therapist trembled and said that the possibility of saving Xiangzi was very low.

But low is not impossible.

Xiangzi did wake up after being injected with antagonist drugs.

She didn't go crazy or hurt anyone. She stood up suddenly and jumped off the bed. She was sweating all over, closed her eyes, and breathed and swallowed with big mouthfuls, like a rabid person with a fear of water.

"..."

The therapist took out a new antagonist injection, but was blocked by Chuhua and Hailing at the same time.

They waited for a while.

Xiangzi slowly opened his eyes.

Her pupils were still in an unfocused state, but she spoke.

"…Is [Reclamation New Land Phase 2] still being fought?"

This was the first sentence Xiangzi said.

Hai Ling turned on the news channel in her head, looked out the window, and told Xiangzi, "At least the gunfire and explosions have stopped."

The second sentence Xiangzi said was:

"Let Meowmeng and Harmony call out the [Believers]."

The third sentence:

"Go to Moon Forest to pick them up, and we'll take the [believers] into [Reclamation New Land Phase 2]."

The fourth sentence...

The fourth question was asked to the cyber psychiatrist.

"How many people are there in your family?"

Xiangzi asked, staring at the therapist with her hard-to-focus golden physiological eyes from under her bangs that were wet with cold sweat.

"...I am the only one..."

Said the therapist who was being held at gunpoint by Chuhua.

"How is the situation with loans and payment of 'local taxes'?" Xiangzi asked again.

"…The loan still has 30 years left, and the tax…hasn't been paid this month…"

"You'll have ten minutes to pack your things."

Xiangzi raised his hand and said to Chuhua and Hailing:

"Take this guy away."

……

It's a good thing that Xiangzi wakes up.

But her cyberpsychosis was obviously not cured.

[Columbus] The freight van picked up Miao Meng, Mu, and the server they moved out of the Moon Forest under the pretext of maintenance.

Both of them have received the current situation reports sent by Chuhua and Hailing.

But they were still shocked when they saw Xiangzi.

Xiangzi was obviously abnormal.

Even without the scan, it was clear that she was sweating too much. She was lying on the center console of the passenger seat, her pupils trembling irregularly in her eye sockets, and her face twitching unnaturally.

"... [Believer] I'm calling out... Hey, you look like you took a whole tablet of Co-Moistol..."

Even Miao Meng was frightened.

"Meow Meng, Mu."

Xiangzi said. The whites of her eyes turned an unhealthy gray and her voice became hoarse.

"Into the new land."

"...The gate of [Phase 2 of Reclamation Land] is being tightly blocked by BCPD." Mu said slowly, "It will be difficult for [believers] to enter..."

"Prepare the explosives," Xiangzi said, "let's force our way through."

"Ah?" Miao Meng was incredulous. "Wait, if we all rush in by force... that means we become wanted criminals? Then how can we move around in the main city? Will we move around with stars?"

"We won't come out again." said Xiangzi.

"Ah... what? The battlefield, the virus, let's not talk about that, food and water--"

“Now is the chance.”

Xiangzi is still sweating. She pressed her forehead and said.

"What should we do if we meet someone from BCPD?" Mu asked.

"shot."

Xiangzi said.

"What about the people you met from [Seven Bands]?" Mu asked again.
