People are in Night City, start to add points

If you continue to go southwest, you will enter Taipingzhou, and then continue to a protein farm with an area comparable to a large area of ​​the city.

According to the marks on the map, the experiment site where the target is located is still outside the protein farm, and has already penetrated into the bad soil.

"We don't need the past."

Mann rested his chin on one hand, shook his head, and retorted.

"Just like the previous plan, let's do it on the way back. There are almost no people on the protein farm, only sporadic company employees, and it is easy to avoid."

"What about the exact location?"

"We need a location suitable for hiding, but also convenient for running..."

Amidst the chatter of the crowd, Moon spoke slowly.

"In the middle of the protein farm, there is an abandoned factory."

At the same time, images and information of that area emerged in everyone's minds.

"Okay, let's go now and investigate on the spot."

Mann immediately said in a deep voice.

According to the information found in Kasili's brain computer, King Kong will end the experiment tomorrow morning and return to Arasaka Tower.

In other words, they have one night to choose a location and set up an ambush position.

"I'll get the driver I contacted to come here now. It just so happens that he comes from a homeless family and is relatively familiar with the bad land."

Mann pondered a little, then raised his head.

"It's done, we will meet him at the border of Taipingzhou later, let's go now... everyone."

He paused for a moment, then glanced at his team members, his voice suddenly became much lower.

"There will definitely be arrangements on the Arasaka side, so everyone should be ready."

Hearing Mann's words, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became a little heavy.

Everyone understood what he meant. Last time, Arasaka's soldier squad appeared in the transport truck used as bait, so what about this time?

And not only that, in Night City, the power that Arasaka can deploy is predictable, but in Badlands, everything is unknown.

To put it bluntly, if there are any last words, I'm afraid they can be written in advance now.

This time, it's for real.

"Okay, let's talk in the car first."

Dorio clapped her hands, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, Lucy, who had been sitting in the corner and had been silent all along, spoke.

She pursed her lips, and then said in a low but calm voice.

"Give me some time, I'm leaving for a while."

Volume 133: Chapter 130 Chapter [-]: Farewell

"Give me some time, I'm leaving for a while."

Hearing Lucy's words, the rest of the mercenary team all cast their gazes.

"Hey, don't make trouble."

Qi Wei frowned slightly, and said in a low voice.

"What time is it?"

As the person in the team who knew Lucy the most, she immediately guessed what the other party was thinking.

"What are you doing?"

Mann also turned his head, staring at Lucy with a sense of oppression.

The scrutiny of everyone undoubtedly brought great pressure, so Lucy's expression was slightly frozen.

"If it's something unrelated to the mission, don't go."

Although he didn't know the specific reason, Mann also guessed a lot from Lucy's face.

He lowered his face and said in a more serious tone.

"I have to think from the perspective of the whole team, so I can't..."

"Let her go."

Suddenly, the rock singer-like figure made a sound.

"I'll be watching."

As Moon spoke, Mann's unspoken words were immediately blocked in his throat.

He opened his mouth, then his expression eased, and he changed his words.

"...In that case, let's go and come back quickly."

Seeing that Mann agreed, Lucy was obviously relieved. She nodded and stood up, got out of the gap between the car and the wall, and quickly left the alley.

"Will there be a problem..."

Looking at Lucy's back, Pila muttered in a low voice.

"What if she uses some method to leak the secret to Arasaka?"

"sb."

Rebecca interrupted him unceremoniously, and glanced at the still figure leaning against the wall, seemingly distracted by other things.

"Mr. Moon will make such a mistake?"

"Too……"

Beside, Mann, who was frowning, looked at them and let out a soft sigh.

In the dark alley, everyone gradually became quiet, waiting for Lucy to come back.

—————————————————————

The city of Night, which has just entered the night, is the most noisy moment.

The stream of cars and horses meanders fast under the illumination of neon lights, and the shrill horns and people's yelling sound from time to time.

In the dark corners of the streets and alleys, a series of shady deals are being concluded. The sex puppets who show off, the gangsters who dare to come out to blackmail and rob with a broken gun, as well as gang members and company dogs, wake up the city. The real vibrancy of Sin City.

Lucy came from the end of Haiyan Street, she didn't say a word, she just walked forward with her head down, her beautiful silver hair was covered by a hood, her hands were in her pockets, and she was walking with a patter.

A few guys with bare chests and backs and full of tattoos came out of the dark alley, noticed her uniqueness and beauty, and just wanted to stop her, but in the next moment, their eyes darkened, and they took a few steps back and fell back into the alley.

The smell of burnt wires wafted through the smoke, but the girl didn't seem to care about it and just kept going.

"Don't leave us!"

"Help!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

In the depths of my mind, ripples of the past suddenly appeared, which were memories from a long, long time ago.

Even so, she remembered their faces, even their names, and what they had seen before they died.

Naturally, I also had the mood at that time.

In 2022, the legendary hacker Bate Moss destroyed the first generation of the Internet, betting his anger and madness towards capital into that terrible catastrophe.

The collapse of Chuwang caused a series of terrible consequences, including but not limited to the death of many people, the loss of a large amount of confidential information, and... those terrible and powerful crazy Als who are full of hostility to human beings.

Some people say that they inherited the will of Bartmos to destroy the world oppressed by vampires. Some people regard them as the biggest threat to the current order, build a black wall for them, and monitor them vigilantly.

And to Lucy, they were death.

As long as she can remember, she has been working for Arasaka.

The parents are unknown, the past is unknown, the first thing to exist in this world is to survive.

Learn complex and advanced knowledge, win in the same group confrontation, and survive.

Complete the difficult problems arranged by the adults, dig deep into the useful data in the old network, and survive.

Avoid the Crazy AI, Avoid the Crazy AI, Avoid the Crazy AI...

She and her mates haven't always been able to do this, in fact, as time goes on, they come to realize that it's an impossible thing to do.

As children younger than them join the ranks to replace their dead buddies, all realize they just don't have future expendables.

Young children, out of fear and longing for the future, rebel.

That was the first time she killed people, using puppets to make adults twitch and fall to the ground, turning into lifeless corpses.

Then there are the frantically flashing lights and the high-pitched chirping of the siren.

The memory in the middle is already a little fuzzy, she only remembers that the security forces came like a tide, and she could only run out with all her strength, with tears in her eyes.

She didn't know how long she had been running, but she only knew that when she finally exhausted herself and fell to the ground, she was surrounded by endless wilderness.

All the other children were left behind by her and stayed forever in Arasaka's secret base.

From then on, she fled all the way, always full of vigilance, and gradually didn't care about others.

In this state, it is naturally difficult to have any friends. Qiwei may be one of them. It was Qiwei who brought her into Night City and taught her how to survive here.

—In Night City, trust no one.

To be honest, Qiwei doesn't need to teach her.Compared with all the past experiences, Night City is no different, and it is even simpler in terms of 'surviving'.

Stealing chips on the city rail express, receiving some simple hacking tasks from middlemen, and occasionally killing a few malicious gangsters... Life is still the same, nothing has changed compared to the past, so I have not changed.

Until that day, at the space center.

Two people who are also interested in the moon met by chance, and the boy with a shy smile said the phrase "I will help you realize your dream".

You are really a child, such an immature promise, obviously you just met each other, and you don't even know the other party's name.

Of course, I still haven't changed, and even used the puppet to erase his memory—as a mercenary, I naturally have to keep calm and rational, care about my own life, and eliminate all risks.

Then it was a purposeful approach again, the task assigned by the team, there was no way to refuse it.

Dating under a disguised identity, meeting again and again...

And, when I overheard the Tiger Claw Gang offering a reward for him, I subconsciously searched for it, and then stood in front of him.

Lucy slowed down and leaned against the street lamp covered with colorful stickers, long shadows were cast out in the warm light.

Since when did his place in my heart become so important?

I, who should have paid more attention to my own life, was driven by an inexplicable instinct to sacrifice my life to save others.

Even if they realize that they are not people from the same world after all, maybe it is the best arrangement to never see each other again and return to the state that people like themselves should have, but they can't really do it.

call--

Lucy let out a breath slowly and lowered her gaze.

The attack on the floating car and the Ventura Street Hospital was dangerous enough. If Mr. Moon hadn't taken action, the outside agents and security team alone would have killed the mercenary team, not to mention the one who appeared later. woman.

And what they have to do now is far more daring than then.

At this time, Arasaka was already prepared, and no one was surprised what kind of enemies and dangers he would encounter next.

That is, to die.

In fact, she is not afraid of death. After all, she has experienced too many things on the verge of life and death. It is not so easy to escape from the secret base in Arasaka.

It's nice to be alive, isn't it?

For a person like myself, perhaps dying in an uninhabited corner, on a certain mission, is the most appropriate destination.

She had been mentally prepared for this, so she always wanted to 'escape', longing for a life other than this, but it was not real, and she could only rely on the vague 'go to the moon'.

It was supposed to be like this, but——

But just now, just recently, she no longer thinks so.

When she was about to participate in the mission of narrow escape, the thought in her mind was that she didn't want to die.
