Although the fully capitalized big brother has lost its former glory, its size and strength are still very good compared to the beautiful country that has been so fragmented that it has lost its status as a dollar.
The well-known high-tech military industry (TECHTRONIKA) and Rostovic (ROSTOVIC) are the super companies of the Soviet Union.
The former is good at producing some weapons that are outrageously brutal on paper, such as the SPT32 Icestorm Heavy Sniper Cannon and the RT-46 Storm Revolver.The representative products of the latter are all kinds of messy trolls, such as the DB-2 Sadara, the favorite technology-charged shot|shot|shot|gun of the terrorist mobile team.
In indoor warfare, you only need to mark the enemy on the display of the prosthetic eye, and you can use this powerful weapon nicknamed "Concrete Ripper" to blast all the targets into mud across the bunker.
Should it be said that he is an old man?
It's a pity that the unbreakable alliance defeated its opponent in the cold war, but fell under the corrosion of capital.This former Big Brother, like the old rival across the ocean at 25 to 49 degrees north latitude, is no longer complete and powerful in the true sense.
Explosive recession in the economy, collapse of social order, panic among the people...
Luo Qi didn't know who the girl's parents were at that time, and why she appeared in Night City.
All he knew was that the cute, white, white-haired and blue-eyed Eastern European lolita was the original top-quality product in the store, with a quality that is still rare even if the supply is abundant.
The price is as high as more than 100 million euros.
The reason why I can't remember clearly is because Luo Qi only saw it when he was rummaging around, and it disappeared completely after refreshing in the next second.
The shopkeeper explained with a smile that he was afraid that he would be caught off guard by some rich and powerful boss, most likely someone from Arasaka—because the black market is not far from the Arasaka seaside area.
"Hey Lucky, what's wrong with you?"
Jack frowned, looked at Luo Qi who was holding the store's PDA in a daze, exchanged glances with V behind him, and swallowed, "You don't want to buy a woman, do you?"
The good brother wants to liberate his masculine instincts, and Jack can understand that even if he has to hide it from Mowell, he dares to risk being beaten as a dog to cover Luo Qi's visit to the brothel.
Can……
Looking at the girls who were less than [-] years old on a whole page, Jack's face became more and more ugly, he closed his eyes in pain, and sighed tremblingly.
"Salva á tu pueblo... (Save your people)"
Human trafficking is a heinous crime for the Valentino gang who believe in God and the Virgin Mary and even Santa Muerte.
Especially the faction of Father Sebastian Ibarra. Although he did not expressly prohibit it, he would never allow his subordinates to do such a thing.
Burning, killing and looting is what gang members are best at.
Only the trafficking of women and children is despised by most people.
Do you know who has the lowest status and the most miserable life in prison?
Rapist!
Especially the scum who pick on children.
The Valentinos were not good guys, but they hadn't lost all conscience.
"..."
Luo Qi put down the PDA and turned his gaze elsewhere.
Silently looking at the crowd in the distance, he stood there for a while, then turned his head and looked at Jack.
Jack saw a pair of calm eyes without any waves.
It was so calm that it even lost some vitality of color, it was terribly cold.
"Is there any style you like?" The shopkeeper continued to sell his products without discernment, rubbed his hands, and smiled, "They are all good products, and they are available at any price. There will be a batch of new arrivals every day, leave a contact information? I will notify you when the time comes?"
He thought Luo Qi's reticence was hesitation.
This is how many people look when they first buy these "two-legged damsels."
I want to, but because of my face and my little morality, I'm sorry.
At this time, in order to increase sales, a professional salesman like him is needed.
Selling one is one's performance and one's commission.
Isn't it a fool to make money but not make money?
However, just when Luo Qi turned his eyes coldly and met the shopkeeper's gradually stiff smile, Jack suddenly took a step forward.
"!?"
He rubbed his eyes.
This subconscious action has not been changed until many years after the replacement of the prosthetic eye.
Jack felt that his prosthetic eye might be broken. As expected, the products of small brands are not as good as those of big manufacturers like Chilus, and the quality control is quite mediocre.
I even almost admitted the wrong person.
Jack let out a breath, and before he reached halfway, he choked again.
As the man turned his head, the prosthetic eyes captured the visual signal of the full face.
"Lucas?"
Jack said incredulously, and stepped forward, "Lucas!?"
The person who heard the voice was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his head, busy with the things in his hand.But Jack rushed in front of him with a "dong dong dong", and before he had time to run away, a big hand grabbed his arm.
"Lucas? It's really you!"
There was a complicated expression on Jack's face.
It was the joy of seeing an acquaintance, a little strangeness and nostalgia after a long absence, as well as a little doubt and surprise.
He hesitated to speak, and the words he kept in his mouth seemed to be very long, but the only thing he could say was "You...".
"he is?"
Luo Qi walked gently behind Jack step by step, with his hands in his pockets. The pure white long Tang suit and the newly replaced RGB neon streamer scabbard made him look like a "cyber-style street warrior".
"My childhood friend lived in the same neighborhood as me." When Jack introduced him, his face was filled with a smile of reminiscence. "When he was eleven or twelve years old, he moved to Taipingzhou."
Taipingzhou is a chaotic place.
Although it is not as mixed with fish and dragons as Heywood's beautiful scenic spot, it is actually slightly better in terms of the attribute of the lawless place.
The Voodoo Gang, the Animal Gang, and to a lesser extent the Valentino and Sixth Street Gangs.
In the northeastern part of Taipingzhou, the seaside area closest to the city center, gangs are mixed, and even the NCPD doesn't like to run here.
Similarly, the more dangerous, disorderly, and less regulated areas are, the more suitable for adventure.
In other places, opportunities and dangers coexist, but chaotic places including the beautiful scenic area have a little opportunity in danger.
Over the years, Jack wasn't completely cut off from this Valentino gang named Lucas.But since Jack started working as a mercenary, he hasn't been to Pacific Island very often, so the two haven't seen each other for many years.
"I have an impression." Gustavo walked over, while observing the surroundings with a steady peripheral vision, "Hi, I haven't seen you for many years."
"Hey... hello, hello, hello..."
Lucas nodded at his head covered with typical Valentino gang tattoos, and greeted everyone with some embarrassment.
"Who are you working with now? What is this luck?" Jack patted Lucas' thin shoulder with a huge slap, curiously.
He lowered his head, as if he wanted to read some information from these seemingly ordinary cardboard boxes.
"I, I don't follow anyone, just run and smuggle."
Lucas held down the box that Jack was touching, and smiled sarcastically.
The weather is not cool, especially because there are so many people and noisy people in the black market, the physical work of carrying does not take long to make people sweat profusely.Lucas wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he lifted the four stacked boxes with a "hey", and the implants in the legs and shoulders made a high-load "squeak" sound.
Old style, mediocre performance, genuine counterfeit products produced by third-rate companies, from the notoriously inferior "Decker".
V glanced through the scanner, took a panoramic view of the information, and gave Luo Qi, who was also aware of this, a wink.
This old acquaintance of Jack's doesn't seem to be doing very well.
"Okay, keep busy."
Jack also felt that this was not a good time to exchange pleasantries, so he greeted Lucas and walked back with a bitter face.
"Before you know it, time flies so fast, haha, haha..."
He thought for a while, looked at Luo Qi, grinned reluctantly, and began to smile awkwardly.
It's just that slightly furrowed and drooping eyebrows betrayed Jack's thoughts.
And Luo Qi, V and Gustavo stood in a semicircle, looking at him without saying a word.
"Uh……"
Jack rubbed his head, the last trace of feigned joy disappeared from his eyes, and his face showed sadness.
He always thought that he was not doing well, but when he really reunited with his old acquaintances, he realized that he was already prosperous in the eyes of most people.
"It's the first time I've heard that people who do smuggling don't follow the boss."
Luo Qi's one sentence exposed Lucas's rhetoric.
Self-employed smuggling is not impossible in Night City.
But companies and gangsters will soon use facts to educate the ignorant boys——
What is black eating black.
And those four cardboard boxes, according to the "rich experience" of Luo Qi and others, were not smuggled goods at all, but "imported fruits" stuffed with "white powder".
Selling fruit in the black market?Do not make jokes.
This is like going to a kiln to listen to music——
You Apple and Qu'er, is it serious?
Chapter 75 The situation is more complicated than we thought
"What should we do now?" V looked at the surrounding scene and asked in a low voice.
In the crowded black market, there are not few places to start, on the contrary, there are too many.
After a round of investigation, not only did they not find any traces of the Chaotic Knife Society, but they were almost regarded as scouts or competitors.
As long as the IQ is online, the Luan Dao Club, who has just arrived, will never try to intervene in black market transactions that do not belong to their business scope.
What they are better at is the business of doing the next job.
"I'm sure that the Chaotic Knife Society must have been here." Luo Qi and V held the same point of view.
As a wanderer, V is extremely sensitive to the smell of the same kind.
Among other things, they have seen no less than three times in this black market just for objects full of traces of use in the Badlands style.
Not only is the quantity large, but also the old and new ones are different, and there is almost a sign that says - "snatched from other homeless".
This kind of loot, Adecardo will only make the best use of it as a treasure and put it away, and the companies will not restrain these "junk" at all. Except for the Chaos Knife Society, Luo Qi really can't think of a second force that will Do this kind of thing.
"It now appears that the Chaos Knife Society is not only related to missing persons, but also operates other projects..." V analyzed, looking at Gustavo, "How is the situation there? Any news?"
Gustavo is responsible for contacting the Valentino gang in the black market. Although the Wa gang is also divided into many factions, it is unrealistic to expect them to do their best to help, but it is harmless to ask for clues in the name of the priest.
However, the actual situation was so complicated that Luo Qi and the others were a little confused.
There are many clues pointing to the Chaotic Knife Society, but there is not even a single piece of evidence that may be solid.
Some goods were exchanged hands by black market merchants many times, or the identity of the other party was unknown during the transaction.Many people have seen the Chaos Knife Society in action, but no one has had direct contact with them.
The Chaos Knife Club, which has always been known for its rough and bad style, now seems to be hidden in an impenetrable fog, rustling, sneaking, and not seeing its real body.
From "the careless bandit of the evil land", he suddenly transformed into a "sneaky outlaw".The changes in the Chaos Knife Club not only concealed their real situation, but also blinded Luo Qi who was looking for them.
Although a black businessman from the Valentino gang expressed his concerns, the business should continue.Compared with possible conspiracies, the quality of the purchased goods and the quality of the business are more worthy of their concern.
The longer you inquire in the black market, the greater the chance of exposure.
But in order to avoid alarming the enemy, it is impossible for them to act with great fanfare.
Just when they were frowning, Luo Qi suddenly locked his eyes on the familiar figure behind the passing crowd.
It was Lucas, the old acquaintance of Jack.
Just after confirming it, Luo Qi pretended to be calm and breezy, folded his arms, and looked at the floor as if chatting.
"Keep your current eyesight and don't move around, be natural." Luo Qi yawned without sleepiness, "Center on me, at 7 o'clock, next to the wall, that's Lucas."
Jack couldn't help but turned his head. After seeing that it was indeed Lucas, he was trembling when he was discovered, and quickly turned his body in the opposite direction, pointing at a weapon on a booth in the distance, and began to comment.
"Oh, it's so expensive for this kind of rags, haha, it's ridiculous..."
