Chapter 113: Panan, the Soul of Night City (Thanks to '~Yui·I~')

Afterlife.

As the most popular bar for middlemen and mercenaries, it's not an exaggeration to say that she's the heart of Night City.

Gloria didn't expect that her first commission would begin here.

Receiving the commission for the investigation of the Bad Soil Infection at the Afterlife Bar is a new milestone in her life journey.

And all this is inseparable from one person.

Tang Yu.

In the box.

The client from the Badlands Wanderer tribe has left after leaving a deposit of 30,000 yuan, and the two parties have agreed to set off in the afternoon and drive to the Badlands tribe in the evening.

After Gloria accepted the commission, she felt that the burden on her shoulders was a lot heavier, and the safety of the tribe of thousands of wanderers, the safety of the mercenary operations, and the expectation of successfully completing the commission were all in her hands.

She realizes that as an intermediary, if she wants to make a name for herself in Night City, she must think carefully and take care of all aspects, but if there is a mistake in the middle, the mercenary's operation will be blocked, and finally the benefactor's commission will end in disappointment.

Gloria is very aware of her position, and she didn't intend to be just an intelligence dealer and make a little middleman from the beginning.

So regardless of the reason, she will definitely not do it, and she will give any commission to the mercenaries, which is not what a reliable middleman should do.

She was already a little sure of this commission from the Badlands Wanderer tribe.

Gloria looked at Tang Yu with a blank look, wanting to take the initiative to explain her opinion on this commission.

Tang Yu stopped what she wanted to say in advance: "You continue to arrange, the other party is very sincere, and the remuneration is a lot, which is a big commission." ”

He had already seen that even now, Gloria still had a strong sense of dependence.

When encountering problems and decisions, I hope to get his approval or his support.

Tang Yu can understand her complex mentality now, and it is inevitable that novices will be apprehensive on the road.

After Gloria heard Tang Yu's statement, she seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and she didn't say anything more.

She nodded, her prosthetic eyes turning, and began to contact Mann and them.

But actually.

Gloria always seeks Tang Yu's opinion on everything, and she has her own careful thoughts in it.

If she really made up her mind independently in everything, then she would have a lot fewer opportunities to deal with Tang Yu.

Just like this commission, she can make an appointment with the client first, and after discussing the content of the commission, she can directly relay it to Tang Yu over the phone and ask him to decide.

But Gloria didn't choose to do that, and for some reason, she didn't want a debriefing on the phone.

Maybe she just wanted to meet, and in addition to talking about work, she listened to Tang Yu personally talk about those interesting people and things, like funny stories like stupid monkeys.

When she was waiting at the afterlife bar today, she saw Tang Yu followed by a beautiful girl, and she felt indescribable emotion in her heart.

But when she found out that Sasha was just standing behind Tang Yu, she seemed to realize something.

Two glasses of wine, one for her and one for Tang Yu.

Gloria drank chili pepper agave, almost choking on the smell of chili pepper, and drank it all, indeed, as Tang Yu said, it was very top.

Spirits, truths, stories, life, she gradually began to enjoy these novel experiences.

Sasha sat quietly and waited, and she asked, "Mr. Tang, are you going to the Badlands today?" ”

She knew that the client's request was to investigate the Badlands tribe.

Sasha hadn't been to the Badlands yet, but she knew through her studies that it was very dangerous, and if she did, she wanted to prepare in advance.

Tang Yu nodded slightly: "This trip to the Bad Land Tribe is supposed to go, and the commission is a lot of honorarium, which can be regarded as a good job." ”

Regarding the fat difference in hand, Tang Yu has no reason to refuse.

Sasha said with concern: "Sasha wants to make some preparations in advance, prepare enough guns, ammunition and weapons, the bad land is too dangerous, Sasha must protect your safety." ”

Of course, Tang Yu knew the danger of the Badland, but he had already made a plan, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I also have someone in the Badland, so it's not wrong to gallop to the Badland to find her." ”

He didn't plan to contact Panan personally, with his current status as a company dog, I'm afraid that Panan would only throw down a sentence when he answered the phone.

"Who are you, what a stupid *company*, fuck off!"

Knowing that Tang Yu had already made arrangements, Sasha suddenly felt a little discouraged, and she didn't help in any way, almost making it impossible for her to realize the desire in her mind and have a vigorous defense battle.

But when she heard that Tang Yu also had people in the bad land, she was immediately impressed, and Tang Yu's wide connections could be seen.

And she also discovered an interesting phenomenon, Tang Yu would take her to meet different people almost every time she came out.

The first was the Arasaka Tower, and I met Tang Yu's top superior, Michiko Arasaka.

Then there was the divination house, and I met the fiancée of Tang Yu's brother, Misty.

There is also a prosthetic clinic, where I met Tang Yu's good friend prosthetic doctor, Lao Wei.

Now at the afterlife bar, I met Tang Yu's middleman, the red-haired beauty Gloria.

Coming to the Badlands to meet his new friend again, Sasha felt that he was gradually integrating into Tang Yu's life, becoming more and more like a follower, even though she didn't help with anything.

But Sasha quickly thought about it, and the special assistant naturally included taking care of Mr. Tang's daily life.

It is also her main responsibility to serve Mr. Tang as an exclusive maid with peace of mind.

Gloria quickly completed the communication, and on the phone she informed the Mann team in detail about the commission and made a reasonable analysis and prediction.

Mann happily accepted the commission, expressing his trust in Gloria.

Apparently.

After experiencing the big revelation together, Gloria and the Mann team have established a foundation for cooperation.

Gloria hung up the phone and turned her head to relay the situation to Tang Yu.

The tribe is located in the Badlands on the outskirts of Night City, and Mann's team will take the guys and rush to their destination by evening.

She wanted to know Tang Yu's plans, and asked softly, "Mr. Tang, are we acting with Team Man?" ”

Tang Yu had already made other arrangements and recommended another person to Gloria, a senior and authentic Badland expert.

"You try to contact her, her name is Panan, she is from the Adkado family, a tribe of wanderers, although she is not a serious mercenary, but she also receives some commissions from the city."

"With her, our trip to the Badlands can be regarded as a collection of wind."

"In addition, Panan has a fiery personality, and if she asks about anything, tell her what she has commissioned, and she likes people who have something to say."

Tang Yu is familiar with Panan's personality and doesn't like to deal with middlemen in the city, but she still cares a little about the Wanderer Tribe.

After all, she is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and she can't see the wanderer tribe being made into such a miserable situation.

Gloria received a business card push from Tang Yu, and was surprised that he had such a high opinion of Panan, presumably a great wanderer in the Badlands.

She made up her mind and dialed Panan's contact information, but she didn't know how hot the other party's temper was, which was worth Tang Yu's special advice.

It didn't take long.

Communication is on.

Gloria heard a question on the other end of the phone, revealing extreme displeasure.

"Who's you?"

Gloria thought to herself that the other party seemed to be really difficult to get along with, so she politely replied.

"Is it Ms. Pannang? Hello, I'm Gloria. ”

Panami was still very upset, and continued to ask, "Gloria? What for? How did you get this phone number? ”

Gloria couldn't help but look up at Tang Yu in the face of Panan's indiscriminate bombardment, her eyes were slightly helpless.

She pondered for a moment, had an idea, and replied with a smile.

"It's an old acquaintance of Panan who recommended Panan to me, saying that Panan is an expert on the Badlands, and I have a commission here about the Badlands tribe and want to find Panan."

"What, are you Panan?"

Gloria deliberately made a detour, and while explaining her intentions, she praised Panan so that she could rest her anger.

Although Panan was still very upset with the stranger's harassment, it was obvious that he was no longer as aggressive as he was just now.

"I'm Pannan, yes, but the acquaintance you're talking about is Rogge? The old cousin who was idle and had nothing to do after the army began to do things again. ”

Gloria didn't expect Panan to guess Rogge's head, so she just smiled and didn't clarify, and continued to talk.

"I don't want to meddle in your grievances with Rogge, I just want to know if you can take us around the Badlands."

Panan was skeptical: "It's as simple as just walking around?" ”

Gloria patiently explained, "There is a wanderer tribe that has a series of deaths, and the cause is unknown for the time being. ”

"I've already arranged for someone to investigate the matter, and to be on the safe side, I'd like to ask you to be your guide."

"After all, I haven't been to the Badlands, so I need to find a good-known Badlands expert to make sure I come back alive."

Panan on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and when he learned that it was about the Wanderer Tribe, he said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll take this job, how many of you? When to go? Do you want me to have a car? And where is the destination? ”

Gloria looked up at Tang Yu and Sasha beside him, and then said to Panan.

"There are three of us here, we will leave in two hours, I will send you the address now, we will rush to their tribe before evening, of course, it is better for you to prepare the car on your side."

Panan was also straightforward, and replied directly: "It's okay for the three of you, then meet at the railway station on the edge of the city, I'll send you the address, with my Thunder, you can run any line in the Badlands, but the back seat is a little messy, I have to clean up, and I'll meet in two hours." ”

The two agreed on a time and place to meet, and then hung up the phone.

Gloria immediately informed Tang Yu of the news: "Mr. Tang, Panan has already agreed, and we will meet at the edge of the city in two hours." ”

Tang Yu nodded, since everything had been arranged, he could leave for the Badlands after having lunch.

The three of them got up, left the box, and walked out of the bar.

Railroad station on the edge of the city.

Parnan was bending over to sort out the contents of the trunk, jeans and a tactical waistband that hugged her waist tightly, perfectly framing her mature curves.

She has been running on the badlands for a long time, and has wheat-colored skin as healthy as the sun.

The trunk carries a lot of things in the car, and she has to sort them out one by one to make room for the back seats.

Weapons, ammunition, medical kits, etc., are indispensable, and the most important thing is, of course, the kinetic sniper rifle, which is the treasure of her tribe's good brother Mi Wedge, and it can't be broken.

Panam disassembles the sniper into several large parts and puts them in a weapon case.

She was busy with her work, but she heard someone behind her shouting, "Panan? ”

Panan continued to bury himself in the trunk, but replied, "Here it is, but you still have to wait for me to tidy up the trunk, and then check the Thunderway's engine to make sure it's okay before hitting the road." ”

When Gloria saw that she had found someone, she didn't ask any more questions.

Tang Yu and the three of them had already arrived at the meeting place, and Panan had arrived one step ahead of them, making preparations for the final departure.

Gloria and Sasha waited patiently.

Tang Yu walked to Panan's side and saw Panan hunched over, packing up the kinetic sniper rifle 'Watch', and he was a familiar old friend.

When I think of the bits and pieces I spent in the wilderness with the wild girl in front of me, I feel good to be back again.

Sighing and familiar, Panan is really the soul of Night City, and casually praised: "Not bad." ”

Panan glanced at him suspiciously, and asked unpleasantly, "Not bad?" What's good? What's not bad? ”

Tang Yu smiled: "The body of the gun is good. ”

Panan didn't know the person in front of him at all, and said directly: "Nonsense, even if you have some vision, run around in the bad land, how can you do it without a ruthless guy, don't stand here stupidly, you get in the car first, I'll leave after checking Thunder later." ”

Sure enough, it's still the same temper, but it's much better than the first time we met.

Tang Yu turned around and walked to the front of the car, opened the hood of Thunderway, and then began to check it carefully, adjusted the lower oil valve and valve casually, and found that there was no major problem.

"I've seen Thunder, there's no problem, I'm healthy."

Panan replied loudly in the trunk: "Why do you still know how to modify cars, don't you see it." ”

She said that she sorted out the trunk, pressed the rear door hard, walked to the front of the car, and checked it carefully, and sure enough, there was no problem.

"Okay, no problem, just get in the car and go, I looked at the map, it's still a little far from us, but I arrived before the sun set, no problem."

Panan pressed the front cover of the car and was about to walk to the driver's seat, but was stopped by Tang Yu's shouting.

"How about I drive it?"

Panam looked back in disbelief: "You? Did you drive well? Don't underestimate Thunder, she has a lot of weight! ”

Tang Yu thought to himself, Panan, I'm afraid you have forgotten back then, how I hugged you with one hand, drove the Thunderbolt with the other, and fought with the Random Knife Club and the company's drones.

He continued: "Try it and you'll know. ”

Panan said with some amusement: "Okay, if you dare to break Tingwei, I will break your leg." ”

After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to walk to the co-pilot, opened the car door, and shouted to the other two girls: "Don't be stupid there, get in the car, let's go to the bad land!" ”

Hearing the shout, Gloria and Sasha hurriedly walked over and got into the car from the left and right.

Tang Yu skillfully sat in the driver's seat, fired, started the engine, pushed open the overhead sunroof, clicked on the electronic screen to start various equipment, ventilation, radar, positioning, radio, and so on.

The engine of this camouflage off-road pickup truck let out a thunderous roar.

A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of Panan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, and when he saw Tang Yu operating Thunder so skillfully, he couldn't help but wonder if he had stolen his car.

You must know that Thunderway was transformed by her own hands, and many electronic systems are additional, not the kind of rotten things that are casually opened on the street.

Tang Yu is obviously the first time to drive the Thunderbolt, but he is as skilled as an old driver, and the starting sequence is exactly the same as his driving habits.

She was really confused.

Panang asked a little suspiciously, "What, have you ever driven a similar car?" ”

Her Thunder has never left her, so naturally it is impossible for someone to steal it.

Tang Yu couldn't deny it, remembering that Panan once said that sitting on Tingwei was her complete body.

"Sit tight."

He stepped on the accelerator directly, and Thunder Might galloped out like a wild horse, sprinting towards the road ahead, all the way to the Badlands.

Sunset, desert, dust, roads, pickups, classic bad land scenery.

In the car, Panan asked: "I've met for so long, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Panan, who of you is Ge Heya?" ”

Gloria sat in the back row and explained, "I'm Gloria, Gloria, the one you contacted with Panan. ”

Panan smiled slightly: "Gloria, I remember, it's a good name, so, what about you, female doll?" Why did you come to the Badlands with you? ”

Sasha politely replied, "Lady Panang, my name is Sasha, I'm a hacker, and I know a bit about fighting. ”

Panan looked back at Sasha again, and found that the implants on her body were not cheap, so he teased: "There are not many hackers in the Badlands, and even our tribe has few serious hackers, so what about you?" He looks so handsome, and his whole body is cleaner than anyone else. ”

Hearing Panan ask Tang Yu, Sasha and Gloria were a little nervous, if Panan knew that Tang Yu was from the company or a high-level executive, according to Panan's temper, I am afraid it would be difficult to say in the future.

Tang Yu avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "Tang Yu, you can call me Tang." ”

Panan nodded, now everyone knows each other, so he continued: "Don, your car is driving well, so far, I haven't seen anyone who can stabilize Thunder like this, you are the first, it seems that we have a good appetite." ”

Tang Yu drove as he wanted, and he was running the entire road with one car, plus Thunderway's strong cross-country ability, it was very suitable to run this kind of wild road.

"Thank you, the main thing is that the Thunder car is good."

Panan smiled: "Don't talk to the old lady, what is your mission this time, isn't it to investigate the infectious disease?" How to say that after a walk, I left. ”

Gloria sat in the back row and explained the situation of the tribe to Panan in detail, telling her that a team of mercenaries had arrived at the tribe site.

They are now mainly responsible for keeping up, preventing surprises, and ensuring that the investigation mission is successfully completed.

After hearing this, Panan was very angry: "It must have been done by the dog * company again, except for that group of miscellaneous pieces, who could come up with such a ruthless method, the old lady has seen too much of the dirtiness of the company*, you have taken a good job this time." ”

"Ugh"

Gloria was silent for a moment, secretly glanced at Tang Yu's face, and found that his demeanor was normal, and he didn't seem to care about what Panan said, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sasha didn't know why Panan hated the company so much, but seeing that Tang Yu didn't mean to blame her, the murderous intent in his eyes was quickly covered by a smile, after all, Mr. Tang had said before that Panan was his person.

Sasha: "Yes, Ms. Pannan."

Instant noodles: "Let's sing a song for everyone' You are my only ~~~ 'Thanks' ~ only one ~ 'The gold lord boss helmsman rewards!'" ”

V: "Ahhhh Instant noodles! Don't leave me again! How can I live without you! ”

Johnny: "It doesn't have to be, it's a bit too much. ”

V: "Hahaha, Ang! I figured it out, you're jealous, aren't you? ”

Johnny: "Jealousy? You've been kicked in the head by a donkey! ”
