Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

He and Mitch are veterans who served in the Unification War. They probably experienced more bullets than everyone else on the scene, even more than Suzi. After all, she had just successfully transformed and the Unification War was over.

They have seen too many inhumane things done by military technology and NUSA. In the late period of the unification war, it was first to gain a strategic advantage, and later to gain an advantage at the negotiating table. Military technology used many methods that violated international law and human rights. Scale, purposeful massacres.

Of course, the world has become like this, and no one cares about them at all.

Everything that the Buckle family has suffered, not to mention the past, even now, in Night City, which claims to be a holy place of civilization and prosperity, similar things happen all the time.

In the North Oak district of Westbrook, company agents shot and killed poor people in the street.

In Night City, the distinctions between poor, gangsters, and homeless identities are sometimes not so obvious, and they can be transformed into each other when needed.There is only one purpose, and that is to obtain more materials necessary for survival.

The North Oak area was once a barren land in Night City.

Fifty years ago, when the sea level and tsunami hadn't swallowed the Bay Area, and the city center hadn't been leveled by a thermonuclear bomb, people still lived mainly around the company square (the original version).

At that time, there was nothing in the North Oak area except the dry hills on the northeastern border of Night City.

In 2023, Johnny Kid Silverhand sent the North American headquarters of Arasaka to the sky with a nuclear bomb, and within 25 years, it has become a gathering place for temporary refugee camps and slums.

This continued until the early 50s—

The Night City government, backed by mega-corporations at the time, decided to clear the area by force.

The corporate press declared it a "war on crime."

This action also became synonymous with corporate brutality and prejudice, but it was not the only bad thing they did in the development and operation of Night City, so it remained in the history of no one.

Developers from the company uprooted the North Oak slum and razed it to the ground.

A few years later, this area with a wide view and a good location has become an area where every inch of land is expensive.

Years of corporate media play downed and silenced the whole thing - not only to avoid negative PR (which they didn't even care about), but also to boost land values.

Of course, the latter is the point.

Many rich people were initially reluctant to buy land where the squalid homeless had once lived.

Today, these past events are almost completely forgotten, like everything else for decades.

In addition to the top symbols, North Oaks is home to high-flying corporate CEOs, hedge fund managers and investment bankers, as well as high-end residences for all kinds of entertainment personalities - such as The Dream experience producers, stars and musicians .

Outsiders are not welcome here, and private security is tight.

Arasaka Corporation, Military Technology, Zeta Technology, Kangtao Intelligence... You can see the security services and promotion methods provided by major companies in the sales halls or event centers in this area.

Some people like to make their hundreds of square meters of backyards and swimming pools open-air, some people like to install security turrets on every roof and corner, and some people like to put dozens of security robots and drones at the front door.

Of course, as long as they can afford this string of zeros, this piece of land belongs to them completely.

The airspace in this area will also be monitored by security agencies. The speed at which the elite troops of the NCPD arrive at the North Oak Mountain villa area a few kilometers away is definitely faster than the civilian area 200 meters away from the corner of the entrance.

But I have to admit, the scenery here is still very spectacular.

The entire area is made up of large estates, some of which have their own micro-biomes and artificial landscapes.The mansions of Yoshinobu Arasaka, Michiko Arasaka and Kerry Eurodeen are all in North Oaks because here, no one cares if you are a business owner or a rebellious rocker, what matters is how much you have Money, much fame.

Of course, this is also the place where every citizen dreams of living every night, just like what they experienced in Black Super Dream.

Even in such a place where the crime rate is destined to be very low, the number of people who die on the streets every night is still considerable.

He who lives in the streets is like a fly, and he must be like a fly, missing nothing of opportunity and nothing of value.

The trash cans in the wealthy area are far better than the hazardous solid waste of Petrochemical.Not only is the risk factor low, but the value is also unimaginably high.

Rich people dare to throw out everything, including but not limited to - high-end clothing with labels not even removed, unopened high-end food, 99 new "old" implants, top-notch entertainment products that are tired of playing... …

What they throw away is sometimes even more expensive than everything on the shelves of ordinary stores combined.

There is such a group of people, or a means of subsistence, that the target is the trash cans in rich areas like North Oak.

Go in sneakily, come out sneakily, and then sell them on the black market, and you can make a lot of money.For these low-level people who have never seen a few dollars, it is enough for them to live a satisfied life.

However, this is illegal.

According to Night City's laws, the property of the upper classes is protected by law, including their trash cans.

And there is also a law that it is illegal to enter their land.

That is to say, the behavior of a homeless man entering a rich area to search for trash cans violates two laws specially set up for the rich at the same time.And if they sell these things on the black market, then they violate the third law.

In this process, for the purpose of "self-protection", the local residents have the right to shoot and kill these foreign "intruders".

Security robots and drones are good performers.

People call cyber hackers "Netrunners", mercenary lone wolves are called "Edgerrunners", and people who dig through garbage and smuggle it to the black market are called "Junkrunners".

Obviously, this is a slightly ironic word.

However, it is not the "dung beetles" who live in these cracks that are ridiculed, but the upper-class people who don't even want to give them any living space.

If it weren't for the fact that scavengers in rich areas were not the mainstream, then I am afraid that it would be the occupation with the highest death rate in Night City.

Kangtao Company shot and killed homeless people in the North Oak District in the street for the simple reason that they violated all kinds of messy laws.The actual situation is that when he was rummaging through the discarded clothes, he picked up the "secret" chip stored in his pocket.

Regardless of whether he watched it or not, he was shot once and for all, because the words of the dead are the most serious.

And follow the streets of North Oak District all the way down, and enter the outskirts of Japan Street, where the historical remnants of the old slums have been relocated.

A large number of homeless people and street gangsters gather under the overpass and outside the high walls in the no-care area. From time to time, people from the company come to "clean up" because some "secrets that cannot be said" are accidentally leaked.

It's like the Buckle family who got the biological virus agent.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

Chapter 140 Four Anna and William Are Still Alive! ?

But what is the purpose of the Chavez tribe snatching the biological virus?

Perhaps it is to sell the virus to other companies for more profit; or it is a lackey hired by military technology to recycle it as much as possible; or it has some ideas and intends to use these viruses to destroy certain forces...

Even for this purpose, he did not hesitate to destroy his reputation and killed the Buckle family.

Just when Luo Qi started to guess, V told him a piece of news that shocked him.

"The smuggling route of the respectable logistics is the responsibility of the Chavez tribe in Snake State."

"what!?"

Luo Qi didn't react, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened.

The disturbance caused by Kejing Logistics at that time was not small.

Illegal smuggling of people, prohibited drugs, narcotics, military-grade prosthetic body, black super dream, arms... as long as it can be smuggled and profitable, almost all of them are in their cargo list.

The Chaos Knife Society and the Scavenger are their effective thugs, but the former got caught up in the wind and caused a lot of turmoil in Night City, which was finally suppressed by the joint police forces of major companies.

This is the part of town.

If you want to smuggle across national borders or even intercontinental routes, someone must be responsible for every link in the upstream, middle and downstream of the route.

Snake State is responsible for the journey from Night City to the sea.

At the beginning, Luo Qi had heard Melissa and Rogge talk about it, but because Snake State didn't go to the city to meddle like Chaos Knife, the flames of war didn't burn on them in the end.

"The Chavez tribe is responsible for ensuring the safety of transportation on this route. The goods shipped from Night City must arrive at the port in northern California before they can be transferred to intercontinental freighters and sent to Europe or Asia."

V opened the world map, and then zoomed in to the coastal areas of the western United States, and clicked an approximate location on the coast of California, north of Night City.

"Some depart from the Arasaka beach, and some depart from the port of Night City. It is obviously the most cost-effective to go to these two places for bulk cargo."

Luo Qi said, "But the Arasaka beach is in Arasaka, and the port of Night City requires high fees. If Kejing Logistics doesn't want to share a piece of the pie with the city government, then they will choose to send some lighter smuggled goods from here. Kinds of three don’t care about the port and send them out.”

These are all what he heard from Rogge, and now that he is replaying the replay, the feeling is even more profound.

"There are still purchases, they will not enter the port in Night City."

Panan said, "The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, and the fewer people involved, the better. After all, they have to compete with the smuggling market of other companies."

Choose the port of Night City, and then you will know all the import and export plans, and get a share of the profits from your peers and other capital; or choose to go to the port, except that the road is a little troublesome, but you can smuggle whatever you want without any scruples.

The answer is obvious.

This truth is clear to even homeless people who are not involved in the political struggle of capital at all.

Leaving aside the distance between the Chavez tribe in Snake State and Night City, the number of opponents alone is enough to make V's revenge plan go to waste.

If it was a company from Night City who did this, such as Arasaka, the solution is very simple, just find Arasaka's property and blow it up to the sky, and it's over.

But the other party was at least a few hundred kilometers away, and all his resources were in Night City. Whether it was weapons, equipment or human intelligence, it was impossible to provide support that far away.

Panan reached out and touched V's back, comforting him silently.

And Luo Qi found a place, sat down, and began to think about how to deal with the Chavez tribe.

This group of guys holding biological virus preparations, if they want to transfer what they have on hand, they must come to Night City, because only here are the best buyers and markets in California and even in the United States.

A free and independent city, but also a paradise for crime.

He is now thinking about it not only as V's brother, but also as a terrorist mobile team.

Destroying the Chavez tribe is the best result, because it means that the person who caused the problem has been solved, and the problem itself will not be the original problem if it leaves the person who caused the problem.

Biological virus agents are in the hands of Chavez, with absolute uncertainty and accompanying risks.

If it is in Luo Qi's hands, although it becomes another problem, at least there is a lot of room for manipulation, and direct harmless destruction is the simplest and rude solution.

Also, he didn't want to wake up one day and someone would call him saying there was a plague in Night City or something.

"Fuck, these sons of bitches."

Luo Qi is now also in a situation where he can't go up or down. He can't take care of the Chavez tribe in the distance, so he can only think hard in order to get a solution.

"Huh? Wait."

Luo Qi suddenly thought of something, and a flash of inspiration passed through his brain.He searched carefully, trying to find the disappearing clues through vague traces.

After suffering a series of blows, Kejing Logistics not only did not stop smuggling, but also injected capital to strengthen the smuggling industry chain, making it more efficient and safer, so as to reduce the probability of accidents.

As for the Chavez tribe in Snake State, since they are still running Badlands freight lines for respectable logistics, they will definitely travel between Night City.

Then catch one up and ask to know.

However, most of those who can run the smuggling line in person do not get along well with their elder brother, so they do this kind of thankless work.It is not realistic to expect them to have access to multi-core secrets.

"Have you had any trouble with Shebang?"

Luo Qi asked suddenly.

"Why do you ask that?" Mitch froze for a moment, then shook his head, "As far as I know, no."

Looking around, the Ardecaldos shook their heads one after another.

They can be regarded as a family of homeless people who pursue peace, which coincides with the idea of ​​Adekadobon. Of course, this is also the idea of ​​the Bright family.

Except when dealing with company transport convoys.

Although Snake State gives people a mixed feeling, not everyone can communicate with them normally or even friendly, but they will not fight.

There is no gap between each other, which is normal.

But Luo Qi was just asking, if a group of wanderers could stand on the same front as them, it would undoubtedly be more convenient to act.

"If you want me to say, directly in the name of the Terrorist Mobile Squad, blow up that son of a bitch Chavez, and it will be over."

Said Adecardo, who had a quick temper.

"No, that way we won't be any different from them." Luo Qi shook his head, resolutely rejecting this ridiculous proposal, "Think about it, how did you feel when the night ghosts attacked the camp?"

Luo Qi didn't show any sympathy for the chaotic knife meeting where Wo and PDG strangled you to death before, because they were a group of outlaws composed of young and middle-aged people.

But if he was asked to launch an indiscriminate bombing of a tribe with women, children, old and young, he asked himself that he couldn't do it.

The world keeps reminding people of the law of the jungle, but he doesn't want to live in the guilt of his life.

To be a human being, you have to have some backbone.

"There are many ways to deal with them, but it's more troublesome." Luo Qi said, "If we can't hit them from a distance, we will hit them close."

The home of the Chavez tribe far away in Northern California has to go through mountains and rivers to deal with it, and right now outside Night City, there are people from Chavez who are smuggling.

There is also a difference between smuggling and smuggling.

At best, Adekado bought and sold arms and medicines, most of which were commercial products with outrageous tariffs. V, Luo Qi and Jack, when they smuggled an iguana, they were chased and killed by Arasaka.

And respectable logistics?Good guy, "Human Resource Management" is doing so well.

Human traffickers, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, are the stuff of killing thousands of knives.
