Cyberpunk: My system is divided into good and evil

Chapter 164 Hope Valley
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the seven battle mechas shone brightly in the orange light.

As the truck compartment deformed and shrunk, the originally dim electronic prosthetic eyes on the seven mechs flickered electronically.

Appearing together with the shimmer, there is also the unique roar of engines belonging to the battle mech.

The most beautiful of the seven fighter planes is a milky white battle mech with thin black lines interlaced across it.

If you look carefully with a magnifying glass, you can see that these tiny black lines are spliced ​​by countless tiny patterns.

If you zoom in on the pattern, you can see that there is a circle of square corners outside the pattern, and inside the corners is a porcelain shape of a plum vase outlined with ink-colored lines.

This is the corporate logo of "Ceramic Technology".

And this fighting mech is the new A+ type fighting mech launched by Ceramic Technology at the beginning of this year - Yang Chunxue!

The battle mech that ranks first in terms of performance and comprehensive ability among the mass-produced battle mechs currently on the market!
On the mechanical head of "Yang Chunxue", which is the same color as the body armor, is a pair of electronic prosthetic eyes that are shining with dazzling white light at the moment.

I saw it stretched like a person who just woke up in the morning, and then the jets on the back of the soles of the feet spewed out blue flames, and suddenly lifted into the air and flew towards the depths of the bad soil.

The remaining six battle mechs of different colors looked at each other, and then took off in unison, quickly chasing after Yang Chunxue.

Looking at that speed, it is not much better than the A+ type Yang Chunxue.

In the orange-yellow sky, seven meteors with blue tail flames interspersed and passed, and then left behind seven white air swept by heat waves, which seemed inexplicably beautiful for a while.

……

……

Under the orange sky, on a broken road that is quite a distance away from the Emerald City at this moment, a convoy belonging to Osaka Military Industry is slowly moving forward.

Their destination is the town of Turing - the town that has turned into black coals at this moment.

The fleet has a large number of vehicles.

Among them are not only seven or eight armored personnel carriers with black background and white spots, but also four pure black "big nose" trucks slowly dotted at the rear of the convoy.

Among the four trucks, two of them carried two battle mechas, and two of them carried food and fresh water, as well as some necessary scientific equipment—they were not going to the ruined town of Turing for fun.

They need to understand the ins and outs of the bomb explosion in the back mountain of Turing Town, and even face some unknown and unknown risks.

At this moment, in the only seven-seater commercial vehicle in the convoy, Han Shilin frowned with some discomfort.

Although the seat cushion of the car seat is soft enough, Han Shilin's buttocks were still sore after bumping for half an hour on the road with many pits and severe cracks.

In addition to Han Shilin, there were two other men in black nylon tights sitting in the business car—they were mech pilots sent by the company's security department.

At this moment, there are still about three or four days' drive away from the town of Turing, and they cannot be allowed to stay in the closed cockpit of the battle mech.

Glancing at the two mech pilots with their eyes closed, Han Shilin bit her lip, and then cursed Siek Bligh in a low voice, she'd lose a bunch of hair every morning!

Just when Han Shilin lowered her head and cursed someone, a roar like a sonic boom suddenly came from far to near, and then quickly from near to far.

This voice is so familiar, I feel like I just heard it some time ago... Han Shilin looked through the front windshield of the car and saw seven white lines extending forward in the sky.

After just a glance, Han Shilin's eyes suddenly widened slightly unconsciously.

With an excellent memory, she instantly recalled the live broadcast she saw on News Channel 54 not long ago.

So she understood what the thing whistling in the sky just now was - a battle mech!
For no reason, she felt her heart tighten slightly, feeling a little inexplicably nervous and flustered.

And at the moment of the roar, the two mech pilots in the car who had closed their eyes and meditated opened their eyes, and also saw the seven white lines.

With many years of combat mech driving experience, not only could they hear that the roar just now was made by the battle mech, they even heard the engine model through the sound of the engines.

According to their understanding, these expensive and powerful engines will only be used on high-end models of combat mechas.

In other words... the seven battle mechas that roared past their heads just now are all A-type mechas!
Seven A-type mechs!
The two drivers suddenly felt that the tights on their bodies seemed to become tighter, and even made it difficult for them to breathe.

I hope that the destination of these seven mechas is different from ours... The two of them looked at each other, and the same thought came to their hearts at the same time.

……

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day when the sky was slightly bright, Jiang Shu had already got up from the bed, walked out of the room, and went into the public bathroom to wash up.

While rubbing his cheeks with clean water in front of the faucet, Jiang Shu recalled what happened last night.

After eating at the hotel last night, the four of them met again and went to a bar near the hotel.

This is the second normal bar that Jiang Shu has seen since entering Badlands.

It has to be said that from ancient times to the present, the development of entertainment in densely populated places will be much better than in sparsely populated places.

For example, in this bar located at the entrance of the small town of Aole, there are also performances by strippers.

Although due to the bad land environment, the skin and appearance of these girls are not even as good as the second-rate guys in the Emerald City bar, but looking at the fiery eyes of the men around them, it shows that in the bad land, such women are already quite amazing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu hastily lowered Kokiko's peaked cap even lower.

Sitting at the bar, Jiang Shu got a general understanding of "Hermos", which is only [-] to [-] kilometers away, through chatting with the bartender and eavesdropping on the conversations of the homeless people nearby.

In the eyes of many wanderers who have never seen the luxury of the Emerald City from birth to death, "Hermos" is equivalent to another Emerald City.

As long as you have money, you can get anything you want in Hermos.

Rare cyber components, high-end mechanical prosthetics, delicious fruits, the most advanced weapons and ammunition in the Emerald City...everything is available.

Even those white and tender women in the Emerald City who can feel and even skate can get it.

Most of the wanderers born in the Badlands did not have the habit of saving money.

After all, no one knows whether this meal tonight will be the last meal in this life.

So there is a saying in the neighborhood, "Hermos earns money, and Hermos spends it, but he never wants to take it home."

Behind every small town there is a powerful tribe.

Behind Hermos is an organization.

It's called "Blood Elk".

In the eyes of other homeless tribes who are bound by blood ties, this is incredible.

Because Badlands is just like its name, malice is the norm, and kindness is a luxury.

So in this place where you can be backstabbed at any time, only blood relatives can be trusted unconditionally.

When "Blood Elk" first appeared, no one thought that this kind of organization formed only by ideas could last for a long time.

At that time, there were even many tribes betting with each other on when it would end.

But there is no way.

"Blood Elk" forcibly survived the most difficult period, and then rose rapidly by virtue of the black gold veins, becoming a powerful force second only to Alsace.

In the low-pitched discussions among the nearby wanderers, Jiang Shu heard the deep worries in their hearts.

The "Blood Elk" has been expanding outward like crazy recently, causing many wandering tribes around to tremble with fear.

Recently, various gossips have been flying all over the sky, saying that "Blood Elk" seems to be trying to accumulate strength and intend to challenge Alsace's dominance.

Many thoughtful people even discovered that a large number of new weapons that even the town of Alsace had not had appeared in the weapon trading market of "Hermos".

This is obviously sending a signal - behind the "Blood Elk", there is support from the big bosses from Emerald City.

Therefore, the homeless tribes and homeless towns that were closer to "Hermos" quickly turned to "Blood Elk" overwhelmingly.

And quickly cooperating with "Blood Elk" threatened the remaining homeless people to join "Blood Elk".

The reason why Aole Town can still look peaceful and prosperous despite the crazy expansion of Blood Elk is because the Tro tribe behind Aole Town quickly threw themselves into the arms of Blood Elk immediately.

Although the blood elk is expanding wildly outside, "Hermos" is still singing and dancing, without the slightest tension.

It is still the first choice for relaxation and entertainment for homeless people hundreds of kilometers away.

The black gold veins controlled by Blood Elk are not in Ermos.

But in a huge valley more than ten kilometers away from it.

That valley was named after the blood elk - Hope Valley.

Like the back hill of Turing Town, where Jiang Shu and the others escaped just now, the area around Hope Valley is full of minefields.

The width of the minefield and the number of mines are more than three times that of the mountain behind Turing Town.

Hope Valley is surrounded by mines on three sides, but only one side is safe.

There, there are a large number of armed personnel belonging to "Blood Elk" stationed there.

They guarded the place with advanced weapons comparable to those of the Emerald City defense force, and strictly screened every wanderer who came in and out to ensure that they would not endanger the black gold veins or leave Hope Valley with black gold.

There are even a certain number of fighting mechs there to prevent any wanderer tribe from trying to plunder Hope Valley.

Every day, a large number of homeless people drive to Hope Valley, and after a strict search, they receive radiation protection suits and enter it, and then collect black gold ore.

In Hope Valley, the more black gold you collect, the better your rewards will be.

Many homeless people make money in Hope Valley, and then go to "Hermos" to spend.

When the money is almost spent, enter Hope Valley again and exchange your life for money.

After meeting Lufu in Blood Night Town for the first time, Jiang Shu and Lupa got from his mouth the plan that Reiko Osaka gave to the current leader of "Blood Elk" - Throck Mott.

The plan that Reiko Osaka gave to Srock Mott was simple.

That is, after the killer sent by Reiko Osaka from the Emerald City killed Mick Alsace, they cooperated with the chess pieces that Reiko Osaka had planted in the Alsace tribe to quickly occupy Alsace Town.

After the blood elk devoured the Alsace tribe, relying on the weapons and equipment provided by Osaka Reiko, they then dominated the bad land and became Osaka Reiko's right-hand man.

Apparently, the killers that Reiko Osaka spoke of were Jiang Shu and Lupa with a high probability.

And ever since they heard the news in Bloody Night Town, Jiang Shu and Lupa had the intention to fight against Osaka Reiko.

Although because Lucifer was in the hands of Reiko Osaka, they had to follow Reiko Osaka's words and kill Mick Alsace.

But Jiang Shu and Lupa wanted to prevent Blood Elk from ruling the Badlands after assassinating Mick Alsace.

Because they all know that once the bad land is unified, it will be an extremely powerful force.

Reiko Osaka, a lunatic, doesn't have many cards in her hand now, so she dares to do all kinds of crazy things.

Once a unified evil land becomes a sharp sword in the hands of Reiko Osaka, then Reiko Osaka, a crazy woman, will definitely do more insane things.

So the only way for Jiang Shu and Lupa to prevent the blood elk from dominating the Badlands after killing Mick Alsace is...they need to kill the blood elk before killing Mick.

As crazy as it sounds, it's the only way.

How to kill blood elk?

Jiang Shu and Lupa naturally thought of the easiest and simplest method.

Destroy the black gold veins they depend on!
Blowing up the Valley of Hope will naturally cut off the hope of the blood elk.

You know, the current blood elk is no longer the original blood elk.

The current Blood Elk is just a terrorist organization managed by Slok Mott with money.

Once the blood elk loses this golden tree, it is like a camel without water in the desert.

In addition to waiting to die of thirst, is to wait to die of thirst.

Once the black gold mine disappeared, Jiang Shu and Lupa didn't need to do anything.

Those blood elk bosses who can't get money will be the first to tear Slok Mort to pieces.

Because after these years of rule, Slok Mott's personal savings are even more than the income of all the remaining middle-level personnel of Blood Elk.

Half of the profits that the black gold veins brought to the Blood Elk went into Throck Mott's own pocket.

So once the black gold vein disappears, all members of the Blood Elk, and even the rest of the homeless towns and tribes that bowed to him, will regard him as the next black gold vein.

Sipping a cold beer and listening to the chatter of many drunk homeless people around, combined with the information Jarvis learned from hacking into a part of the host computer in Ole Town.

Half of Blood Elk's current armed personnel have now spread into the Badlands for military expansion, and most of the remaining ones are stationed in Hope Valley.

So what Jiang Shu needs to consider at this moment is how to blow up Hope Valley, and how to escape after blowing up Hope Valley.

After all, he didn't want to be torn to pieces by the red-eyed members of the Blood Elk and the Rangers.
