Chapter 29: Taiping Chau
Late at night, a car drove from Kings Avenue to Taiping State.
Old Falco drove the car with one hand, a cigar cigarette in his mouth, and Qi Wei sat next to him, at this moment, the female hacker lady was smoking quietly, through the mask prosthesis, white smoke spewed out, lazily leaning against the car window, Qi Wei looked at the night sky outside.
From here, the high-rise buildings become low-rise houses, and the view gradually becomes wider, and the scenery... Not to mention, the scenery of Taiping Island is really good.
There are two talented hackers in the team, and Qi Wei is only responsible for scouting the route on this trip, so she rarely feels that the task is very easy.
Looking at Qi Wei's expression, Falco couldn't help but smile and said, "Hey, how are you doing?" ”
"How's that?" Qi Wei turned her head to look at Falco, her elbow against the car door, her fist against her head, and with Qi Wei's tall and slender figure, she would look a little elegant.
"I heard you've officially joined Mann's team?" Falco thought for a moment and spoke.
"Well, the Mann is good, and he is very quick to divide his money, but this one advantage is enough for me to follow him, after all, it is not easy to find a boss who can divide the money well in Night City." Qi Wei said softly.
"Haha, those who can work harder, I also like Mann, although I just drive a car, he gave me 2500 euros, which is not a small amount of money." Falco nodded and said in admiration.
Drive a car, wait at the door for Mann and they will take the little boy from the North Oaks from inside, and he will get 2,500 euros for a round trip, which is not a small amount of money.
Falco is not a member of Team Mann, but a part-time driver.
And the reason why Mann found Falco is because this time he is going to Taiping Continent, that ghost place is a dangerous area with a "disaster" level, and the Ncpd of Night City will simply go there and let the people of Taiping Continent manage it themselves.
It's not a very welcoming place for strangers, so if you want to go to Taipingzhou, you'd better have good relations with the local gangs, otherwise...
Well, so it's important for a skilled driver to be ready to run, and Falco, as the best in this business, is naturally willing to come as long as Mann has the right price.
It was a large truck with the logo of a small logistics company on the outside.
With the company logo, although it is also very likely to be attacked by gangsters in Taiping Chau, it also has a deterrent effect, isn't it?
But no one would have thought that in the back box of this suspected logistics vehicle, it was full of people at the moment.
Dorio and Mann sat together, both resting with their eyes closed.
Lin Wen and Mann sat opposite each other, with David and Sasha beside them, the kitten was close to Lin Wen, his eyes were constantly emitting yellow light, and the temperature of his body was constantly rising.
She's looking for any surprises along the route.
And next to David sat Lucy, and next to Lucy sat Sasha.
David lowered his head, looked at his hands, and said that it was impossible not to be nervous...
How is this possible without being nervous?
This was his first mission!
Lin Wen saw David's nervousness, reached out and patted him on the back, and said in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, you just need to listen to Mann well, teamwork is the most important, don't be too reckless, I will watch you from the side." ”
"You're not going to make a move?" David turned his head to look at Lin Wen and said.
"If I make a move, what else will happen to you?"
"Fucking brag over there," Rebecca whispered.
She has a bad sense of Lin Wen now, because this guy provoked her when he entered the door.
What she hates most is being treated as a child by others, and it's not her fault that she's not tall!
She's an adult for a long time, okay?
And as a gunslinger in the Mann Group, of course she is combat power! But what about this guy?
Damn, I'm really being looked down upon!
Rebecca sat next to Dorio, dissatisfied.
"Then I'm going to trouble you to sweep the formation, if there is any accident, please help us." Mann opened his eyes and looked at Lin Wen, putting away his smile, he became serious.
"Don't worry, I'll still do this little thing. It's a deal, Mann. ”
Mann smiled, "Because of David? ”
"You're really good to him, why didn't I meet a guy like you when I debuted?" There was a hint of envy in Mann's tone.
yes, David was really lucky.
There is a mother who only thinks about him, and a cheap stepfather who takes care of him strongly.
"What do you say... Mann, do you want to be my son? Lin Wen looked at Mann strangely.
Dorio opened her mouth to say something, but finally closed her mouth.
Mann and Lin Wen stood together, saying that if they were father and son, everyone would think that Mann was the father, but in fact, Lin Wen, who was young in appearance and had a delicate face, no one knew how old he was this year...
But what is certain is that Lin Wen is much older than Mann.
After all, the brain computer used by this guy is an old model 20 years later, and that style has long since disappeared with the war, and even if it survives to the present, it has been replaced with a new brain computer.
Therefore, it can be concluded from the brain computer that Lin Wen is more than ten years older than Mann, plus the people who could install this batch of brain computers at that time...
Well, being Mann's dad isn't too much.
"When you fuck!" Rebecca scolded again.
Lin Wen's senses for this stinky loli also came down, and it was okay to have a bad mouth, but it was not okay if this mouth was too stinky...
"Rebecca!" Mann reached out and patted Rebecca on the back of the head, and Lori lowered her voice and sat there without speaking.
Tinkering with her two small submachine guns, Rebecca was aggressive.
"It's almost there."
At this time, the speed of the car slowed down, and Falco's voice came out of the stereo, and at the same time, Qi Wei's voice also entered everyone's mind.
"Sure enough, here... They occupy a small abandoned supermarket, and the number of people... It's about fifty people, and the rest can't be detected. Qi Wei said aloud.
Lin Wen listened to this voice with some envy.
It's impossible not to be envious, in the era of people being digitized, the lethality of hackers is hugely terrifying, but... It's useless to Lin Wen, 3% of the prosthetic body of his body, just a brain computer and a few small programs, or the old-fashioned machine that came with it when he crossed over, although it will also be burned, but with Lin Wen's body, a few hundred degrees is a trivial matter, purely when it is warm.
Therefore, hackers are a toy in front of Lin Wen.
Ah, it should be said, all of them are toys in front of him?
"Get out of the car!"
The car stopped, and the boot door opened, Mann stood up and said in a deep voice.
In an instant, everyone in the car stood up, including David, who also stood up nervously.
"Falco, I'm sorry you're waiting here, we'll sneak over from here, we'll give you a message when we come out, and we'll be at the location three minutes early to pick us up." Mann raised his fist and touched Falco, who had his hand out of the window.
"No problem, Mann, I will, as soon as Qi Wei says it, I'll act immediately."
"Well, pay attention to safety, be careful of the situation nearby, don't be too careless, this is Taipingzhou." Mann nodded.
"I know what to do, Mann." Qi Wei said.
Mann didn't say any more, and bent over, he and Dorio walked in the front, Pyra with a small suitcase, and Lucy and Sasha also cated forward.
David learned the movements of a few people, and then turned around, intending to find Lin Wen, but when he turned around, he only saw Rebecca following him.
"See what?" Rebecca muttered.
"Me, my dad... No, what about Lin Wen? David whispered.
"Huh? Didn't that guy follow? Rebecca was stunned and turned around.
It was pitch black behind the buttocks, and the night in Taiping Island was different from several other districts, dark and primitive occupied most of it, after all, this was a place that was cut off from power and water by Night City.
"Keep up, little ghost!"
Ahead, Mann said in a deep voice of displeasure.
"Yes, Mann!"
David hurriedly answered and followed.
Lucy glanced at David, the corners of her mouth hooked, and a somewhat disdainful smile appeared.
Sure enough, it's a rookie!
At the same time, Lin Wen appeared on the top floor of the small supermarket, looking at the scene inside, Lin Wen sat on the beam of the ceiling, dodged the camera, and smoked a cigarette silently.
Sure enough, it's the chassis that cuts the kidney...
Lin Wen spat out the smoke ring and sighed inwardly.
——————
Recently, there are various reasons.,So the comment area and this chapter say they've been controlled.,It's not like I deleted it.。
Then, it's about the zodiac signs that some book friends are complaining about.
Friends, the Asian culture in 2077 is really strong, if it's a purely Western work, then I definitely won't make any zodiac signs, but this is cyberpunk, the Japanese Asian culture is a strong criticism, Jack uses chopsticks to eat and clip the oden BUG is not less complained about by everyone, right?
Then, I can also understand that everyone feels old-fashioned, after all, what are the eight King Kongs, black and white impermanence, the zodiac, twenty-four people or something, it is really a rotten title used in the novel, but in this book, it is not the protagonist group who is self-proclaimed, but outsiders look at the animal mask, and then give a title, Lin Wen does not wear a mask, of course he will not do this.
In the end, I hope that everyone feels old-fashioned, not low, thinking that outdated and thinking LOW are two different things, if even we think the zodiac sign is low, then it is really too good... The works of the devil stick often appear in things like the zodiac, as well as the adventures of Uncle Long or something.
I saw a book friend who said that the zodiac signs are too poisonous and very low...
I'm all numb
