Chapter 114: Awesome Marksmanship (Thanks to 'Feeling Your IQ Pulled Down')
Late at night.
Badlands outside the city.
A fleet of haunted trains is speeding over the wasteland, modified in neon light.
One of the pickup trucks was in a cargo box, and the three body bags were jolting, and Rebecca secretly unzipped the bags, revealing the whole zombie face, and looked around.
"I shouldn't have found me yet."
She thought about it, but continued to remain in a dead state and waited for Mann's attack signal, and then she would join forces to flank the group of corpse thieves.
In order to observe the situation of the convoy, Rebecca sat up quietly and found that the vehicle next to her was loaded with a lot of military technology equipment.
After looking at it carefully, I couldn't see why.
But she heard the nocturnal lunatics sitting in the car and wondering loudly what to do with the three body bags.
"Boss, you're right, we only got three corpses on one trip today, and we can't exchange it for a few dollars."
"They started to become alert, they didn't go out to scavenge for food for days, and they didn't have a chance to cast D."
"That's it, boss, if it goes on like this, there may be no corpses tomorrow, won't this financial road be cut off?"
The night wandering ghost boss snorted gloomily and coldly: "That group of company dogs are standing and standing, Lao Tzu said that he would directly throw D into the water source of the horse, but they refused to do it, and they still talked to Lao Tzu about the test process." ”
"According to Lao Tzu, the price of the corpse has to be increased for him, 10,000 euros per body, otherwise Lao Tzu will throw the corpse under the Night City Company building, and see if the company dogs are honest!"
The others laughed wildly and echoed: "The boss still has a way!" Right! A body of 10,000 euros, depending on whether to buy a horse or not! ”
Rebecca vaguely heard their chat, a corpse can be sold for 10,000 euros, and the industry is really profitable.
No wonder people in the tribe have been poisoned to death, and now she understands that it is this group of garbage that is causing trouble.
She gritted her teeth, her anger was already stacked, and she wanted to pull out her gun and explode the heads of these scum now.
But she held back fiercely!
Because Mann told her that there were deeper hidden guys behind the scum, and those were the culprits.
Rebecca knows that the culprit is actually the company dog!
If you shoot and kill this group of scum now, it will inevitably disrupt the plan and finally cut off the clue.
Therefore, Rebecca suppressed the anger in her heart, tried to calm down slowly, and waited for the right time to attack.
Thinking about it, she suddenly thought of Tang Yu.
"Company, you'd better not let me know you've done dirty things, or else."
Rebecca actually didn't hate Tang Yu, but when she thought of his status as a senior in the company, she couldn't help but panic.
I have dealt with the company so many times, and none of them have seen the company good, and it is all some shady deeds.
Rebecca felt a little cramped, squirmed and shifted her position, dodging the other two bodies, sulking, and lying down again to close the body bag.
At this time.
In the darkness, Mann is driving to track a convoy of nocturnal ghosts.
Originally, I was worried that I would be lost in the wasteland in the night, but the opposing convoy was as bright as a large light bulb, and their traces could be seen with the naked eye.
So there's no need to trouble Qi Wei to turn on the positioning, just pull away a little and keep a distance, so that the other party can't find out.
The only trouble is that you can't turn on the headlights when you run at night, and from time to time you will run over some stones, and the driving is not very stable.
But Falco and Mann are both veteran drivers, and the situation can still be handled.
On the other side, Panam was driving the Thunderbolt, also following the Night Wanderer on the side of the convoy.
The hot-tempered Panan had wanted to go straight to the job, even if Gloria didn't include it in the gratuity.
But Panan doesn't have any affection for the nocturnal ghosts, the dregs of the Badlands who often attack the Orthodox tribes.
With their formidable firepower, brutal character that is not afraid of death, and terrifying methods of killing, few tribes are willing to provoke them.
The Wanderer Family, Adicado, has suffered greatly and has been harassed by them many times.
Panan, who had no place to spread fire, finally caught this group of nocturnal ghosts this time, and said that he would crush them if he said anything.
"The old lady said, tonight is the death period of this group of scum, these rotten things of these night wandering ghosts, there is no good thing, and it is not unjust to kill any of them!"
Fortunately, Tang Yu next to her persuaded her and said, "The garbage naturally has to be cleaned up, but you still have to catch the big fish behind." ”
Panan's eyes were observing the road conditions while monitoring the movement of the night ghost convoy, and asked directly, "What big fish, are you talking about the company?" The old lady doesn't care about this! ”
Tang Yu explained: "The night wanderers must have another purpose to snatch the corpse, I suspect that they are colluding with the company to do some crazy experiments with the tribe, judging from the information sent back by Mann, it is likely to be the development of super viruses and antibiotics or something." ”
Panan sighed very unhappily, and then scolded: "It's a damn company again, I have advised Thor not to cooperate with the company, but he just won't listen, look, this is the fate of the tribe being targeted by the company!" ”
"In any case, the old lady must help the tribe, even if the commission does not have this work."
"I knew that their tribe was called Red Ochre and was an orthodox tribe of wanderers, but I didn't expect them to be targeted by the company and the night wanderers."
Tang Yu has long understood the dirty practices of major companies, and there must be more than one similar deed in the bad land.
If he guessed correctly, the development of bioweapons such as antibiotics and the cultivation of superbugs are most likely related to biotechnology.
As one of Night City's top companies, it specializes in the research of genetics, pharmaceuticals, microorganisms and other biological front-end fields, and its business scope covers agriculture, energy, medicine, machinery and even cyber prosthetics.
For biotechnology laboratories, every time a new product is developed, relevant clinical trials must be conducted.
There are many channels for biotechnology clinical trials, in addition to paying for the recruitment of drug clinical trial volunteers in Night City, clinical trials will also be carried out through scavengers and other gangs, and small-scale emergency clinical trials will also be put on the front line of the battlefield.
But these clinical trial samples are far from sufficient, and they will set their sights on the Badlands Wanderer tribe outside the city.
In the city, the company has to keep a fig leaf, at least on the surface, but outside the city, the company has no scruples.
As long as the company is willing to spend money, the Random Knife Club is willing to take the job.
In a tribe, men, women and children, tall, short, fat and thin have everything, which almost meets the data requirements of all aspects of drug clinical trials, and is the best test sample group.
Randao will make huge profits by working for the company, and by the way, he will rob the house to enrich the bottom bank.
Their weapons and equipment are abundant and firepower, and they are far more advanced than other scavenger ranger tribes.
Even the Adcardor family, which is as strong as the Adcardo, can be attacked and harassed by the Night Wanderer.
As a subordinate organization of the Ranlash Society, the Night Wanderer is like a mad dog and is never restrained in any way.
Just like the nickname of the real boss of the night wanderer, called the Hound Man, he compares people to prey, hunting like dogs.
The convoy of night wanderers was still speeding away, and the tail of the car was rolling up puffs of smoke and dust, and they sat in the car and roared loudly.
"Boss, hey, hey, it looks like dog meat has been delivered to the door!" A night wanderer took a military technology electronic tablet, found the clue, and immediately sent a message to the leader wirelessly.
Night Wanderer Leader: "What's going on?" Do you see it clearly? The dogs are not scared away, how dare they catch up, first put a few drones to probe the situation. ”
After receiving the leader's order, several people immediately flipped over to their respective trunks and began to take out the drones, and under one operation, eight drones circled and began to rise into the air, flying in the direction of Mann and the others.
Qi Wei sat in the car and monitored the movements, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, and spoke to Mann wirelessly.
"Mann, drones have been released on the other side, and it is very likely that we have been detected by counter-reconnaissance."
Mann was driving in front of him, and when he heard Qi Wei's words, he scolded angrily, "Damn, how did they find out?" ”
Qi Wei speculated and analyzed: "Their convoy should be equipped with a military-grade anti-reconnaissance radar, and after following it for so long, I am afraid that it has entered the locking range, so I sent drones to investigate the specific situation." ”
Mann was a little annoyed, he still had dozens of seconds to make a decision, whether to stop the car and turn off the ignition, wait for the drone to fly over, or kill the drone directly and ask for the other party's information.
He fell into deep thought, and then asked Qi Wei, "How many drones do they have?" ”
Qi Wei immediately replied: "Eight drones have come in our direction. ”
Mann knew that there was no way to do it now, and eight drones would be able to scout and scan a wide area, and it would be easy to capture the tracks as long as the thermal imager was turned on.
Parking and turning off the engine not only does not play a big role, but will also be thrown away by the other party, and you must work with the other party and force the other party to tell the information in person!
Mann made a quick decision and sent a message to Celestial and Falco to get them ready for battle.
Dolio, who was the co-pilot next to him, also picked up his assault rifle, turned off the gun safe, and installed a holographic scope to assist in shooting in the dark vision.
Dorio leaned out of the window and aimed in the direction the drone was flying from.
Soon.
She saw several drones circling in front of her and made a decisive move.
Click!
Several flaming bullets shot out in a straight line, directly shooting down one of the drones, falling in flames, smashing into the ground, and then being crushed by the wheels.
The sound of gunfire echoed across the wilderness, alerting the nocturnal ghosts ahead.
Dorio continued to shoot at the drone, and although she shot down another one, her actions apparently caught the attention of the other party.
The remaining drones immediately surrounded the Mann convoy and began to rain down fire.
Da da da. Da da da.
The crackling light of the fire flickered in the night, and Mann's new car was baptized by bullets for the first time, and the doors and windows on both sides showed a large number of cracks.
Faced with intense fire, Dorio had to retract into the window and roll up the window to fend off the drone fire.
Qi Wei in the rear car immediately leaned out of the window and launched a remote invasion of the drone in the rear, and the RAM manager memory was running rapidly.
She first scanned and locked two of the drones, opened the intrusion protocol to quickly enter the internal terminal of the drone system, and then cracked the running code, implanted new operation instructions, and snatched control of the opponent's drone.
Soon.
The three drones were then controlled by Qi Wei, who aimed her fire at the other three drones.
After a random shot, three drones crashed directly.
Seeing that the threat of fire from the air was lifted, Mann couldn't help but praise, "Qiwei, well done!" ”
Qi Weiyi's eyes rolled, and he said calmly: "It's not over yet." ”
After saying that, she once again operated three drones to rush towards the night wandering ghost convoy and shoot wildly.
In order to avoid accidentally injuring Rebecca, the pickup truck with the body bag was also deliberately avoided.
The firepower of the three drones poured rapidly, instantly blowing up an off-road vehicle, and suddenly a burst of flames ignited on the wasteland.
The night wanderer found that the electronic tablet in his hand could not operate the drone at all, so he could only watch the drone strafe his convoy.
"Grass on horseback, those dogs hacked our drone!"
"Get the drone down, step on the horse! I'm about to shoot into a sieve! ”
"What stupid* thing? Don't hurry up and beat Lao Tzu down! ”
Several nocturnal ghosts immediately began to lean out of the window and shoot wildly at the drone.
Under the powerful firepower, the three drones did not last long before they disintegrated in the air and smashed into the ground with stray fire.
When Rebecca heard the movement outside, she thought it was a fight, and quickly opened the body bag to take a look at the situation.
When she noticed that the night wanderer was being beaten by her drone, she couldn't help but praise: "Good job, old woman." ”
Suddenly, Rebecca saw that instead of moving on, Rebecca began to turn around and drive backwards.
All she heard was the night wanderers yelling, "Catch those dogs, let's have dinner tonight!" ”
"The dogs who trample on the horses dare to mess with us, and they must kill those dogs!"
"Oooh! Turn around, have fun! ”
Mann in the rear thought that the other party would increase his firepower and continue to move forward to get rid of himself, but he didn't expect the night wanderer to turn the head of the car and kill him.
His expression gradually became solemn: "Qi Wei, be careful, they have killed you!" You can't fight them here, you have to find a place to take cover! ”
Mann knew that the opponent had a clear advantage over him in terms of firepower and number of vehicles.
Once surrounded by the other party in the open area, I am afraid that they will find an extremely dangerous situation, and we must take advantage of the favorable terrain to stop them now!
Qi Wei immediately began to operate the computer and inquire about the surrounding favorable terrain.
A few seconds later, Qi Wei immediately teleported Mann wirelessly: "Found a place, go to the right, there is a highland canyon tunnel, go there and fight them, at least don't worry about being surrounded in the rear." ”
After receiving the map information, Mann thought for a moment, and felt that there was no problem with what Qi Wei said, the narrow high-slope canyon could completely block the car at the entrance and block the attack of the night wanderers.
He decisively turned the head of the car to the right and headed towards the high slope canyon, so as not to fall into the encirclement of the night wanderer convoy.
The situation on the battlefield begins to change dramatically, from Mann tracking the Night Wanderer convoy to the Night Wanderer convoy besieging Mann.
Taking advantage of the safe time left, Mann immediately sent the address to the Horde and asked them to find a way to help.
Gloria is also informed of the situation, and they prepare to fight the Night Wanderers in the High Slope Canyon.
The headlights on the night tour ghost car are fully on, instantly illuminating the large desert in front of them, and directly spotting Mann's convoy.
"See! They are not far ahead, rushing forward! Oooh! ”
"I'm going to skin their dogs! Dare to hack Lao Tzu's drone! ”
"Haha, you can't let them run away!"
The Night Wanderer began shooting wildly at the Mann convoy in the distance ahead, but the distance was too far for the bullets to reach the body.
The convoy of Night Wanderers began to pick up speed frantically, chasing Mann and the others, the distance getting shorter and shorter.
Dorio leaned out of the window, set up the four remote-controlled mines he had prepared, and threw them on the road, waiting for the night wanderer convoy to approach.
She looked in the rearview mirror and saw two vehicles on the other side pass over the mine, and pressed the blast button.
Thundered!
Four mines detonated instantly, flipped the two cars into the air, and then smashed heavily on the road, exploding on the spot and scrapping.
The car was wrecked and people died!
Far from frightening the nocturnal ghosts from the explosion, they became furious, shouting for Mann to show them color.
"Give those dogs a taste of the big guys!"
On a large modified pickup truck, two nocturnal ghosts roll over to the roof turret, aim their guns at Mann, and press the button.
Shout!
A large steel cannon came out of the pipe, dragging a long tail flame and flying towards Falco's long van.
Falco noticed that the rear of the car was abnormal and immediately shook the front of the car in an attempt to dodge the shells.
Boom! Thundered!
The bomb kicked up a large cloud of fire and smoke on the wasteland, but Falco avoided it in time, and the van stabilized after a heavy bump.
But because of the slowdown of the steering wheel, the night wanderer ghost convoy quickly approached and fired wildly at the van.
The crackling bullets continued to bombard the car door, and Qi Wei, who was sitting in the car, said expressionlessly: "Falco, drive slower again, and get ready to dodge another shell." ”
Falco was so nervous that he didn't have time to care too much, and hurriedly said, "These guys are biting too hard!" ”
In order to cover Falco and the others, Mann had to slow down and launch an indiscriminate attack with Dorio on the night wanderer behind him, but he still couldn't stop the night wanderer from pursuing.
Soon.
The Night Wanderer refilled the cannonball and aimed the barrel at Falco, who was close at hand.
The two night wanderers smiled hideously: "Hey, hey, hey, ready to bake"
Laugh at!
An inaudible penetrating sound swept by, and before the two nocturnal ghosts could finish their words, a large hole appeared in their brains, and they rolled over and fell to the ground on the spot, and were immediately crushed to death by the rear wheels.
"Damn! Marksmanship isn't bad! ”
At this time, Panam was driving the Thunderway, keeping a certain distance from the night wanderer convoy.
Tang Yu sat in the co-pilot, holding a camouflage silenced sniper rifle through the window, aiming at the night ghost convoy.
The muzzle of the silencer, which had just been shot, was still steaming with a trace of heat, and was immediately carried away by the wind.
"I told you, it's the body of the gun."
It turned out that Tang Yu and the others found that Mann and the others were deeply surrounded by night wandering ghosts, so they kept their distance and walked parallel to the night wandering ghost convoy.
And Tang Yu used Pannan's sniper rifle to 'watch', aiming at the night wanderers in the distance, just when he found that the other party wanted to open fire and bomb Falco's car.
So he made a decisive move, pierced two with one shot, and killed two gunners.
Panam has also played 'Watch' sniping, and knows what it's like, sniper headshots are not that simple, wind speed, movement, light, etc. will affect sniper accuracy.
Obviously, Tang Yu's sniper strength is not bad, and it can even be said to be terrifying.
Although she didn't say anything, she secretly admired Tang Yu's good marksmanship in her heart, after all, it was a dark night vehicle chase, and there was no chance for him to think about the best time to shoot, all opportunities were in an instant.
If that bullet had been empty, I'm afraid Mann wouldn't have been in a good situation.
Sasha saw Tang Yu hit the target and praised happily: "Okay! Awesome marksmanship! ”
Instant noodles: "By the way, can you find out where the boss of the gold owner 'feels that his IQ is being pulled down'?" I'm going to shake his hand. ”
V: "Unlikely, for two reasons. First, this person did not leave any traces, and second, he held a hand through the network cable. ”
Instant noodles: "Oh, yes, when I was in a good mood, I forgot about this stubble." Here, worship the gold lord boss 'I feel that my IQ is lowered' helmsman is rewarded! ”
