Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

William stared at the screen, trying to find information about the murderer from this precious video, even though he knew that the other party was the Chavez tribe.

Anna's face was full of hatred and ferocity, and her right hand was silently pressed on the quick-draw holster around her waist, as if those arsonist animals were right in front of her, and she wanted to knock them down one by one like she did in the shooting range of the police academy. These executioners.

How unbearable.

Like a group of bereaved dogs.

Luo Qi's eyes were a little dazed.

The words that I accidentally heard in the past, the words of company employees or gang members mercilessly laughing at the distressed people, now involuntarily echoed in my ears, as if those people were beside me.

Taking pleasure in mocking people is just one of the city's fine traditions.

People who live worse than themselves are unlucky, happy;

Nobody cares.

Nobody cares.

Even if hundreds of Bakkers fell in the badlands of the night, for they were worthless wanderers.

In the eyes of the company, homeless people are like cockroaches and mice that grow out of the soil. If they are left alone for a period of time, they will reappear by themselves, but they have to eliminate them by themselves.It's better to let them fend for themselves, the more they die, the better.

Chavez's men came in.

Luo Qi didn't know if they came with the "will" of a certain company, or if this group of homeless people gathered under the banner of the Snake State were born brutal bandits.

Nearly primitive fully automatic kinetic energy weapons are raging in Buckle's camp, including modern versions of "century-old products" using 7.62mm and 5.56mm intermediate power ammunition.

Bakr's resistance once appeared, and then it lost its movement under the almost overwhelming firepower of the Chavez tribe, and returned to silence, replaced by screams and despair.

This small-scale battle is like a replica of a third world country. One side enters the field with an absolute advantage in firepower, and under the bombardment of unguided projectile explosives, it quickly defeats the opponent's completely unscaled resistance.

However, this is not the end.

Between the dark world, the continuous fire is like a grand bonfire party, and there are hideous masks in the void laughing wildly above this land.

By the time the camp where the Buckle family once existed was reduced to ashes by the raging fire, the people of the Chavez tribe had disappeared for a long time, and the sun had appeared in the sky, but there was no vitality to welcome the morning sun on the ground. Instead, the horrific mess is silently accusing the crime of bloody massacre.

No one saw their appearance clearly, no one saw what they took away, and no one knew what they were thinking at the time.

But they are the people of the Chavez tribe.

Luo Qi is sure because he believes in the intelligence capabilities of Melissa and Rogge.

V is more sure, because he can smell the carcasses of those badland hyenas.

The video ended here, the holographic image disappeared, and everyone was brought back to reality from that miserable night.

Then there was a quiet silence.

Chavez's action against Baker was not a gimmick created by the unscrupulous media or distorted rumors, but a real tragedy with video evidence.

The last bit of hope in V's heart was completely eliminated——

What if Buckle all ran away?In fact, it was not killed by Chavez.

But reality hit him hard.

The last gleam of luck in his eyes disappeared, and V looked a bit depressed.

Luo Qi didn't know how to comfort him, he licked his dry lips, ready to move.

He wanted to get out of the city, to a town a hundred kilometers away, and he wanted to bury all the scum and scum called the Chavez tribe in the loess and dust.

Seeing how completely burned Buckle was was not what Roach wanted, because it would not help in dealing with Chavez.

He opened the folder, and Regina gave him more than one copy.

(Communication with the other party has been disconnected)]

This was the first witness Max tried to contact. It can be said that it took a lot of effort to find such a wanderer from the Chavez tribe who was willing to leak secrets and knew a certain amount of information.

"And then? Did you find him again?"

Luo Qi looked at the communication record that stopped abruptly, and asked Max.

"Then I couldn't get in touch." Max didn't come over, but turned on the communication and sat in his office, "I don't know if I ran away in a hurry or was found and disposed of. It's broken."

What a toothache result.

"Alderness . . . never heard of it."

V repeated the crucial name, frowning slightly.

"He is the leader of the homeless who has only risen rapidly in the past year, but at that time everyone was busy running away from home. Aren't those people still busy... to attack you two? They are not so informed about the outside world gone."

William McCoy glanced at V, then at Roach, and said.

More than half a year ago, Luo Qi and V left the Buckle family. Following Jack's order, the three of them came to Night City together. Since then, they have never returned to live in the Badlands. Naturally, there are no channels for information.

As for those tribesmen who successfully developed their old grudge into a deep hatred, they successfully used their own methods to teach V and Luo Qi what it means to turn against each other.It's just that after staying in Night City for a long time, I gradually forgot the past grievances.

"Where are those people? Dead or run away?"

V asked.

William knew who he was asking, and it was nothing more than the scum who had done the crime back then.

Luo Qi was injured in that ambush protecting V.

"Most of them are dead. I don't know how many escaped."

William shook his head.

On the night of the video shooting, he and Anna were lucky. At the moment when the Chavez tribe launched an attack, they were on the outskirts of the camp. They had just returned from patrolling, and the car's engine didn't stop.

Seeing that there was no hope of rescue, the two of them directly left those scum who were "experts in foreign wars and experts in civil wars" and walked away with one foot on the floor, leaving them in the camp.

Besides the two of them, a clansman also ran out from the entourage, planning to go east and visit the Republic of Texas.So the two spared some way and sent him to the distribution area on the interstate highway, where occasionally there would be passing mercenary convoys to rest, and it would not be difficult to take a ride to the territory of the German Communist Party.

Then, when William and Anna came to Night City, they directly found a middleman, planning to meet with V to see how their old friends were doing.

Anna didn't want to hang out with mercenaries, after all, she was an ex-boyfriend who couldn't rub the sand in her eyes.However, with the contact during this period, she found that instead of choosing the messy NCPD, she might as well become a mercenary walking outside the law.

At least you can practice your own justice, and when you shoot a criminal in the head, no colleagues or superiors who want to kill you will jump out.

After exchanging information, William and Anna realized that they seemed to have nowhere to go.

It was the first time for them to leave the organization they had relied on for a long time, one was the homeless family and the other was the police station.

"I thought it would be easy to go away, but I feel a little homeless."

William smiled wryly, and said to V and Luo Qi.

Even when the family was down and infighting, he did not give up, and did not choose to leave like other young people with a clear head.And when the reality forced him to leave, he realized that this feeling of reluctance is called dependence.

"Lucky and I felt the same way when we came to Night City." V ​​smiled and comforted, "But you will find new family and friends."

His heart was also aching, but he had to hold on to comfort him.

If you are lost in Night City, you will die.

"We know a lot of middlemen, and we can introduce you to a lot of jobs." Luo Qi also patted him on the shoulder, "Come with us, it's hard to find trustworthy people."

When V and Luo Qi were at their worst, it was the customer information provided by William McCoy that allowed the two, who were delayed by a car breakdown and had no signal, to contact Jack.

This kind of friendship and sincerity is far better than the kindness others gave when they were doing well.

Chapter 140 Eight is both politics and capital

Although William and Luo Qi were not close friends in the past, and V was only friends, the invitation from the other party still deeply moved him.

Trustworthy people are hard to find, but in a super metropolis like Night City, opportunities are the rarest.

In this day and age, if you don't say anything about reciprocity, and don't add insult to injury to those who have helped you, you can already be regarded as having a strong character.Those plastic friendships that turn against each other and sell teammates as soon as they say they sell teammates are no worse than inferior implants.

These few words from Luo Qi are equivalent to letting them skip the most basic stage of hard work and go straight to the right track.

When they first came to Night City, Luo Qi and V also belonged to this kind of pure newcomers with no roots.

No reputation, no experience, no ability, no equipment, no credit guarantee, no reliable channels... nothing, let alone a brand name on the road.

Jack is Heywood's child. He grew up in this neighborhood. His mother, Mrs. Wells, is not simple, and the most powerful middleman in the area, "Father", also takes good care of him.

Luo Qi and V were first introduced by Jack. They were half-guided and half-guided from the hands of the priest, polishing and training everything needed to be a mercenary.
