Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Xiangzi walked out of the open space that had become an "ecological tank".

Behind Xiangzi, in the shadows of the street, four believers in black uniforms slowly emerged.

These believers are Xiangzi's bodyguards on this trip.

After Xiangzi walked out of the open space and came to the main road, they began to follow Xiangzi quietly.

They looked like four ghosts vaguely emerging in the cold rain.

……

As a result, the BCPD "Strike Force" officers disappeared into [Comprehensive Area 1].

The captain of Team T, a believer who was responsible for recaptured the police officer, reported his dereliction of duty and expressed his willingness to accept any punishment when Miao Meng arrived at the scene.

Miao Meng couldn't decide this matter on her own.

She informed Xiangzi about this matter.

Xiangzi did not punish the team leader of Team T.

Because she also believed that under the circumstances at the time, retreat was an inevitable choice.

“There’s nothing wrong with your decision.”

Xiangzi said this to the team leader of Team T.

She said this a week ago.

BCPD and RAS have both withdrawn from the [Food, Fuel, and Processed Products Zone].

Morfonica also temporarily showed non-hostile intentions.

The Food, Fuel, and Processed Products Zone, along with its protein factories, wheat plantations, BCPD's underground storage for "raiders," and countless unused processed product facilities, fell into Ave Mujica's possession.

New walls, new personnel arrangements, control of factories, exploration and development of regions, inspection and removal of dangerous open ports and antennas that may contain [insect swarms]...

Xiangzi was very concerned about the "secret weapons" that were taken away.

However, there are too many things to do at the same time.

All of these need to be decided personally by the five members of Ave Mujica.

Xiangzi gave priority to the members of Ave Mujica, including himself, to the task of stabilizing the situation in the territory.

Xiangzi himself was responsible for the overall coordination, as well as the deployment and transfer of personnel.

Chuhua was responsible for the construction of the wall.

Hai Ling was responsible for the control of the factory.

Miao Meng is responsible for checking and clearing dangerous open ports and antennas that may contain [insect swarms] - an old job.

Mu was responsible for the exploration and development of new areas.

As for the BCPD "stormer" officer who was carrying a "significant weapon"...

In fact, Xiangzi knew in his heart that it was unlikely to find him intact at this point in time.

Compared to the matter of "completely controlling the [food, fuel, and processed products area]", the matter of finding this police officer is on the borderline of "can be put aside for now" and "it is better to deal with it as soon as possible".

Let's put it down. It's an "important weapon" certified by the commander of the BCPD. If it falls into the hands of vagrants, it might become a threat to me.

If they say they won't release it... they don't know what it is, and it won't necessarily be used to point at themselves. Border defense, personnel deployment, personnel recruitment. There are more urgent things to do.

Xiangzi still sent Team K, his believers who were most skilled in infiltration operations, to track down clues according to the GPS location.

After all, the sooner the so-called "important weapons" are in one's hands, the sooner one will have more "options" in negotiations with other forces.

Team K moved quickly.

K Squad found the BCPD "Stormer" officer three hours after he disappeared.

At that time, in the front-line reports, the police officer's condition was described as "twice the original [Saint's Passion] scene."

He had been licked by wild dogs long ago. The guns and bulletproof vests on his body were gone. Even the plug-ins implanted in his body were roughly pulled out and taken away.

Having come this far, what else can be left?

Four "important weapons" that had never been seen before disappeared in the hands of the refugees.

【No recyclable items were found.】

Xiangzi received this report from Team K 12 hours after the incident.

But she was too busy.

It was not until a week later that Xiangzi had time to go to the scene in person to see what had happened.

"(…Although, looking at it myself, I didn't get any more information than what Team K reported at the time.)"

After all, I came here just to take a look.

Thinking this, Xiangzi walked towards the intersection.

This is a T-shaped intersection.

Ahead, the road split into two, north and south.

Xiangzi looked to the south.

She saw the towering buildings and factories in the [Infrastructure Zone] and [Food, Fuel, and Processed Products Zone].

The chimneys of the Alcohol No. 2 Power Plant, the protein factory and the processing plant emitted white smoke under the gray sky.

After being connected to the water and electricity from the [Infrastructure Zone], the protein factory and wheat plantation have been built.

The protein factory produces nitrogen fertilizer.

Nitrogen fertilizer is provided to wheat farms to quickly grow wheat, which is then supplied to processing plants to be made into ethanol fuel.

The Alcohol-2 fuel is then transported back to the Alcohol-2 Power Station in the [Infrastructure Area] to operate the new Alcohol-2 power tower.

A small basic energy supply chain was connected.

The factory was put into operation bit by bit, and production capacity was increased bit by bit.

Currently, the production capacity is only used to produce more steel fences to improve the border defense of the [Food, Fuel and Processed Products Zone].

But given time, these production capacities will be able to exert a force far more powerful than "defense".

After ensuring the food, fuel and processed products, the next step is to recruit believers... and arrange for our own people...

"..."

Xiangzi stood at the intersection, staring to the south.

She thought for a while.

"Do you want to go back?"

The bodyguard behind him asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry yet."

Xiangzi said.

Xiangzi would take time to come here, and of course he wouldn't just come to see the crime scene.

She was here to kick off the search for the "secret weapon".

"Look inside again."

As Xiangzi said this, he walked towards the north - deeper into [Comprehensive Area 1].

Chapter 393 Alley

As they walked along the main road deeper into Comprehensive Area 1, Xiangzi inappropriately felt a little nostalgic.

The streets became crowded.

Low pipes are crisscrossed.

Fortifications that had been built and then destroyed could be seen everywhere.

Outside the unused complex, a metal sign riddled with bullet holes swayed and creaked in the wind.

Even the wind feels sticky.

The air was filled with a mixture of motor oil and barbecue.

Occasionally, you can smell a subtle smell of burning electronic components.

“(It’s a bit like where I used to live.)”

All this reminded Xiangzi of the shantytowns under Morfonica's rule.

It’s just that the oil content here is heavier.

Xiangzi held an umbrella to block the rain that was as sticky as the wind and continued walking forward.

Deep in the surrounding alleys, there was a rustling sound, as if something was moving.

I can feel the malicious gazes coming from those directions.

Xiangzi glanced in those directions and continued walking forward.

In the darkness behind her, a figure gradually emerged...

then.

A darkness deeper than the shadows in the darkness appeared behind the figures.

Xiangzi's bodyguards appeared silently, grabbed the refugees who tried to take action from behind, and killed them.

……

The blockade of [Phase 2 of Reclamation Land] has lasted for more than 4 months.

Ave Mujica, led by Xiangzi, obtained resources by looting BCPD in the early stage, and later acquired the technology to break through the electronic fence, and began to loot BCPD and go out to purchase. Therefore, before taking over the [Food, Fuel, and Processed Products Zone], there was no serious food shortage crisis.

But that's because they are adjacent to the BCPD's material delivery line, and the [Infrastructure Zone] is also close to the waterway and can be shipped by ship, so this is possible.

[Comprehensive Area 1] is the area farthest from the main urban area of ​​Lezhicheng in the entire [Phase 2 of Reclamation Land].

It is for this reason that the refugees who did not have time to escape when the [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land] was blocked gathered here.

No preparation means no food reserves.

Four months passed under these conditions...

To be honest, in Xiangzi's expectation, it is not surprising that things here have developed to the point where people are cannibalizing each other.

but……

When Xiangzi walked forward for a distance, she found that the situation was better than she had expected.

Xiangzi saw some guards.

These guards wear high-quality artificial muscle fiber face armor and BCPD body armor.

In their hands, they held the [Military Technology M1 Saratoga submachine gun] equipped with the [CS-1 Taipan] muzzle and [OS-221 Omniscient] scope.

"..."

BCPD's standard equipment does not mean that the wearer is a BCPD member.

Xiangzi took a look and knew that these things were stolen from BCPD in the previous battle.

But since there are guards...

This means that this [Comprehensive Area 1] is not completely a place of the Dharma Ending Age.

Xiangzi walked out of the darkness and approached the two guards.

"who!?"

The guards raised their guns.

Xiangzi raised his hands.

"Can you let us pass?"

Xiangzi said.
