Chapter 31: The Great Cleaning

Taiping Chau, which was once the chassis of the Voodoo gang, made it their home by gangs from Haiti. When the Ash Company decided to establish a ground headquarters in Taiping Chau, the demise of the Voodoo Gang was a foregone conclusion.

The only uncertainty is the time of destruction. As the Ash Corporation announced that it would clear the gangs in Taipingzhou, the NCPD in Night City sent a large number of police officers to block the passage out of Taipingzhou.

Barricades, car stoppers, heavily armed NCPD officers, this blockade nearly blocked the voodoo gang's escape path. Immediately afterward, the Ash Corporation went into action.

The Techno-Priests of the Mechanicus quickly invaded the Voodoo Gang network system, and in front of the extremely involuted oil guys, the voodoo Gang's heavy ICE firewall and their proud network technology were defeated like chickens and dogs. The sheer amount of scrap code overloaded their hacker chairs, leaving the voodoo hackers who were barely fighting the mechanical priests in the scarlet error and overload.

Immediately afterward, the red Starfall robot entered the streets and began to kill. Starfall Robots are relics belonging to the Golden Technology Age, and unlike most of the mechanical creations that use wet parts, these white-like combat robots are equipped with a logic engine and a silicon chip at the core.

The Starfall Robot is almost pressed on the heretical red line of artificial intelligence, and due to this, its performance is limited, and it still cannot fight independently. Therefore, the mechanical education chooses to let the data craftsman accompany the robot to change the instructions for it.

However, after coming to the cyberpunk world, the Sage of Clecisis immediately used the technology here to transform and upgrade the Starfall robots, and now the whites walking on the street are already automated control versions.

The promethium flamethrower behind the Starfall Robot lifted, and the blue flames burned a Voodoo thug to ashes, leaving the Voodoo Gang with no hope of survival in front of the Mechoni Order's robots.

In the Voodoo Gang underground stronghold, Placid and Brigitte are completely panicked, most of the Voodoo members are cyber hackers, they can't fight those robots in reality, and they are no match for the mechanical priest on the web.

"What are we going to do, Brigitte? Those red robots are already coming in, Neptune has become a roasted brain, and Oreste is missing. "Plasid is very anxious, half of the core members of the Voodoo Gang have been lost, and they must find a way to escape from the hands of the Ash Company.

"Don't make a noise, Plasid, I'm trying to figure it out." Brigitte is desperately trying to think of a way out, everything is over, any voodoo hackers on the network will be invaded by the mechanical order as soon as they get in, and finally become a roasted brain flower or go crazy directly, and the stronghold of the voodoo gang is also surrounded by groups, as long as the voodoo gang dares to break through, it will be burned to ashes by lasers and flames.

In the unfinished buildings, in the churches, in the underground tunnels, these Haitians held out in despair, leaning against the relatively strong places with their guns and waiting for the sweepers to break in.

Bang, bang, bang, a Starfall robot smashed the exterior wall with its power fist and rushed straight in, and the voodoo hackers in cooling suits raised their guns and pulled the trigger to the end.

The barrage of bullets rattled the starfall robots' hard armor plates, but the small arms scraped off the robot's red paint at most. A deep-cutting personnel anti-personnel grenade was thrown, and the red laser that could cut off the human body was absorbed by the terracotta steel armor plate.

The first wave of Voodoo attacks was all fended off by the Sturdy Defenses of the Starfall Robots, and in the face of bullets, the Starfall Robots used their power fists to pinch the head of a Voodoo hacker straight into the head. Immediately afterwards, the promethium flamethrower on the back spewed extremely hot flames that burned any resistance to charcoal. In a small environment, flamethrowers are at their most effective.

With the sweeping team pressing forward step by step, the Voodoo Gang was also killed from the original size of more than 200 members to only Brigitte and a dozen people around him.

The complex underground tunnels are still a little difficult for the Starfall robots to operate automatically, so the Space Marines appeared. Sergeant Fawkes, a primordial Star Marine, whose genetic sequence is derived from the Emperor's Son, walks into the last stronghold of the Voodoo Gang.

Fox grabbed his automatic blaster and changed the firing mode to semi-automatic, and then moved a little deeper into the colony. Soon he encountered the first batch of enemies, a few voodoo gang minions, and with just a few pulls of the trigger, these Haitian blacks who read the local language became corpses on the ground.

After seeing the effect of the shot, Fawkes turned on the safety of the automatic blaster, which was too powerful against these weak enemies, so he chose to put away the blaster and directly use the fist of the combat knife to face the enemy.

Listening to a few loud gunshots and approaching footsteps, the Brigittes were in complete despair.

"Brigitte, I'm going to get the intruder's attention, you hide first." Placidid has decided to sacrifice himself to fight for a glimmer of life for the soul of the Voodoo Gang.

The strong black man clutched his shotgun, ready to confront the intruder, confident that his big gun would be able to delay long enough.

With a thud, Fawkes punched the closed door, and almost at the same time Plasid opened fire, he emptied the magazine of the shotgun as quickly as he could, but to his despair, the usually powerful shotgun did not even knock the intruder to a stiff, and then Plasid saw only a flash of swords, and he was cut in the throat.

The feared Plaside was killed by Fox in this way, and he couldn't even resist. Fawkes examined the taskbar and confirmed that it was only the second-in-command of the Voodoo gang, and then began to search for the boss, Brigitte.

Fawkes turned on the thermal imaging integrated in his helmet, and there was no apparent heat source in the room other than the recently deceased Plasid, and he left.

Brigitte lies in the blood-soaked ice water and pretends to be a hacker corpse, knowing that she can fool thermal imaging and successfully disguise herself as a dead person. But alas, Space Marines are not so easy to deceive.

She had just thought she had managed to escape, but a hand reached out from the darkness and grabbed it and lifted it up, this trick was still too simple.

Holding Brigitte in one hand and opening the communication channel with the other, Fox said, "Lieutenant Solomon, confirm the capture of the leader of the Voodoo Gang, Maman Brigitte...... Okay, I'll do it. With that, Fawkes walked out of the tunnel.

At this point, the Voodoo Gang has been completely wiped out, except for the leader Brigitte, all the 230 members of the Voodoo Gang have died, and nearly 1,000 non-members of the Voodoo Gang have been arrested or killed. These self-righteous scumbags who see other groups as footcloths have completely withdrawn from the Night City stage.

Now that the trash has been cleaned up, it's time to get ready to get down to business.
