Riding Su Wan's car home, the matter of the General Services Department finally came to an end.

This time, Bai Ye and Su Wan both successfully passed the crisis. On the way back, Su Wan couldn't stop the smile on her face, it seemed that she was indeed too relaxed.

White Night also felt relieved. A big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

Now, at least his plan to go to Area 31 has not been disrupted. He had plenty of time to prepare, and in a short period of time, the men in black from the General Services Department had no reason to bother him.

This crisis is solved, and the other crises on Bai Ye's body are still urgent.

The deepest secret hidden in him, and the biggest problem, Johnny Silverhand still needs to find a way to unravel.

This is the biggest threat to the white night, directly threatening his life.

After the events of Jiuhua Temple, Johnny Silverhand's erosion of the white night has become more and more serious. Bai Ye knew that he had to act as soon as possible to get rid of this henchman!

On the other hand, although the affairs of the General Services Department have come to an end, as the number of players continues to increase, the strength of White Night gradually increases, and the possibility of being discovered is also increasing. I was lucky this time, but what about next time? And next time?

Paper can't hide the fire. The General Services Department will still end up being a big problem for itself.

During this time, there have been more and more people in black in the General Services Administration. The frequency of appearing in the eyes of the white night is also increasing. On the streets, in the alleys, in the malls, all kinds of public places. White Nights have been inadvertently spotting their presence lately.

The surveillance of players is becoming more and more intense and urgent.

The General Services Administration's lockdown of the entire city of Marina is also getting tighter.

I don't know when this place could become an isolated city. It was completely controlled by the General Services Administration.

If you don't leave, you may never be able to leave.

Bai Ye thought to himself.

Before I knew it, the car had driven to the community of the white night. Bai Ye got out of the car and said goodbye to Su Wan.

"White Night, thank you! It scared the hell out of me today. ”

Su Wan looked like she was palpitating, and said while holding her chest.

Bai Ye smiled: "It's nothing, you must be careful yourself." ”

"Just because you have passed the customs this time does not mean that there will be no danger in the future. You must be careful in what you say and do, and be careful in everything. Otherwise, it will not only affect you, but also your family. ”

Su Wan listened to Bai Ye's words and nodded again and again: "I know." I'll be careful, don't worry. ”

Sending Su Wan away, Bai Ye returned to his apartment.

Sitting on the couch, White Nights is once again ready to get into the game and see if there is anything he can do to help him survive in the wilderness through the swamps between Area 31.

He pressed the "V" mark and started the game.

The screen slowly opened, and on the dark black background, the fluorescent red font slowly emerged.

[Passionate dreamers, you have returned to Night City again]

[For some reason, you decided to look for some prosthetic bodies related to survival]

[You walk through the dark alleys and come to the clinic of the black market prosthetic doctor]

"There's business coming in again," muttered Dr. Victor, and when he saw that it was you, he reached out behind a door—"Evelyn is there, and there is no sign of waking up."] ”】

"I'm not here to see Evelyn. "Your words surprised Dr. Victor, who looked up at you.]

["I need a prosthetic body that will help me trek through the swamp, is there?"] "You're making a strange request. 】

[However, Dr. Victor just looked at you with strange eyes and recommended a prosthetic body for you]

"It's a lung-modified, enhanced prosthesis that does exactly what you want," says Dr. Victor. "It's just that installing this prosthesis requires a relatively strong physical fitness, which ordinary people can't bear. 】

[You ask, "How many prosthetic levels do you want?" ”】

["It takes a physical level of 9 to strengthen it," Dr. Victor immediately said, "If you're ready, come to me."] I'll keep this good product for you. ”】

"This is a very good lung prosthesis, don't blame me for not reminding you. "It enhances the amount of oxygen absorbed and stored in it, allowing you to have a much higher lung capacity than normal," Victor said. Speeding up the ventilation function can also strengthen the blood gas barrier to resist more toxic and harmful gases. With it, you are the endurance superman. ”】

["I know, the attributes of these two days are not enough, come and get it in a few days. You replied. 】

[Your body is 8, and you can't install this prosthetic yet, is it an upgrade?] 】

[LV5-LV6 upgrade cost: 5,000,000 USD]

[Sorry, you don't have enough dollars to upgrade]

Of course, Bai Ye wants to upgrade, but unfortunately he doesn't have enough money right now. I can only look at the righteous body and sigh.

[You say goodbye to Dr. Victor]

The upgrade cost $5 million, and the money to be paid to Dr. Victor for the prosthetic upgrade. Where to get so much money on the white night?

He remembered that Su Wan had said to herself before that she could help herself get 10 million within a week.

If the 10 million can be obtained successfully, the hole can be filled directly.

However, Bai Ye didn't just put his hope on Su Wan alone. He had to figure out something himself.

The first thing he remembered was his first pot of gold. At that time, he had just received the enhancement of Night City, and he used hacker chips to directly ransack several ATM machines.

Of course, this is not possible now. After what happened last time, the bank has made a big improvement. Not to mention the presence of the General Services Administration.

From an obscure and mysterious organization to taking control of almost the entire city, it didn't take long for the General Services Department to take over. Bai Ye is sure that the bank must also have the eyes of the General Services Department.

Then hope, it's time to put it in the Night City game.

White Night returns to the game and contacts a few intermediaries.

[You took the initiative to contact Kazuko Okada, which surprised this middleman a little. 】

["Isn't this the young man I am most optimistic about? Even the Tiger Claw Gang and the Shoho Jotaro can't stop you, it's really skyrocketing. ”】

Hakuya had never seen Kazuko Okada so enthusiastic. It seems that after killing Shoho Jotaro, his fame is really extraordinary.

"I hope you can keep it up and become a legend of Night City."] "Okada's words seem to have a deep meaning. 】

["Say, what do you want to do when you look for an old body? ”】

[You tell the intermediary that you're going to do something big lately, and you hope that she can contact you if you have any news.] 】

[Kazuko Okada laughed: "What an ambitious young man. Do you know the meaning of the so-called big life? ”】

[Kazuko Okada didn't say much, just said that she would contact you if she had news.] 】

Turn off the game during the night. For a while, it is estimated that there will be no breakthrough in the game.

For the next two days, White Nights was in an orderly preparation.

As long as he has free time, he learns about survival in the wild, and saves a lot of key information in his mobile phone.

Of course, the most important thing is all kinds of off-road equipment, such as high-density and high-calorie, all kinds of food that is easy to preserve, simple tents that can be set up quickly, etc.

Not only that, but he also prepared for the tracking of the man in black. In order to prevent being discovered by the people of the General Services Administration, he also prepared a camouflage suit. Consolidated some knowledge of counter-reconnaissance.

There is also some US dollars that need to be used to get to Area 31, which is also put on me at any time.

Put all the equipment you need into a backpack. If you need to, you can leave at any time with your bag on your back.

In the end, there was only $10 million left.

This is the last, the most critical step, and the most difficult one.

Without Su Wan's help, he really wouldn't have been able to get so much money in a short period of time.

He also got into the game a few times in the past two days, looking for some opportunities. It's just that there is no good news from the middleman.

After leveling up, you will be able to increase your physical level and replace your lung prosthesis. Strengthen your stamina, go long distances, and travel safely through swamps will be better.

After this period of preparation, Bai Ye also clearly knew that the danger of walking this swamp road was very high. Although there are maps, there are too many unknown "traps" in the swamp.

Even experienced explorers who want to traverse this area will need a lot of preparation.

Two years ago, a well-known wilderness survival expert disappeared while crossing the swamp alone, and his life and death are unknown until now.

Although White Night has a physical fitness that surpasses that of ordinary people, and a strengthened prosthetic body in Night City. But in front of nature, these can only be said to have evolved from small ants to larger ants, and the difference is not too big.

White Nights must be fully prepared.

At this time, Bai Ye's mobile phone suddenly received a new message.

"Xiaoye, are you home? I'm my uncle, I've come to your community to see you. Are you convenient now? ”

It was a text message from Uncle Bai Ye.

After the last time my uncle sent a message, Bai Ye still stored his mobile phone number in his mobile phone, and the note was "Zhuang Wen".

Zhuang Wen is the name of his uncle. His sister, Bai Ye's mother's name, is Zhuang Yan.

"Didn't you say you wanted to get together for the New Year...... It's not yet the Chinese New Year, why did you come? ”

Bai Ye was a little surprised.

Could it be otherwise?

However, thinking that the Chinese New Year was not too far away, he let down most of his guards in his heart. I guess it's just a matter of coming to see him.

Bai Ye didn't want to have anything to do with this uncle, but the other party had already arrived downstairs at this time, and if they didn't see each other, it would be too ruthless. Bai Ye put down his phone, thought about it, and decided to meet his uncle.

If he's still the same disgusting old look, he'll just turn around and leave.

Bai Ye changed into his coat, picked up his phone and went downstairs.

After looking around a few times, he didn't see where his uncle was. There was only a thin stranger, constantly looking at the exterior of the building.

Bai Ye walked over with some hesitation.

I also saw him on the other side, and after being stunned for a few seconds, I called out in surprise: "Xiao Ye? Is it Nighto? ”

Hearing this voice, Bai Ye dared to be sure that this man who looked a little strange was his uncle Zhuang Wen.

"It's me." White Night's short answer.

Uncle Zhuang Wen looked happy, he looked Bai Ye up and down carefully: "You have really grown up a lot, you are so tall!" I remember you as a child. ”

When he said this, Bai Ye's face was a little unsightly.

Uncle may also remember that what he did was not very authentic, and changed the topic a little bluntly: "You are in good health, it seems that you have been exercising all year round." Exercise well! It's so much better than when I got into bad habits. ”

In the end, he hesitated for a moment and carefully patted Bai Ye's shoulder: "Okay, it's good that you've grown up." I'm almost unrecognizable when it's changed. ”

Speaking of which, what Bai Ye thought in his heart was that the change in his uncle was really huge.

It turned out that he was sloppy and sloppy, full of swearing, and no matter who saw it, he would unconsciously feel disgusted. That kind of drunkard image is also one of the reasons why Bai Ye hates Zhuang Wen.

The uncle in front of him looks thin, but his eyes are bright, and he looks very energetic and energetic. It's not like the same person at all.

Zhuang Wen completely changed. After a short period of contact, it not only removed the hateful image in Bai Ye's heart before, but also gave Bai Ye a little good feeling.

Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Let's not talk about it below, let's go upstairs." ”

When my uncle heard Bai Ye's words, he seemed a little surprised and incredible. He nodded solemnly and said again and again: "Okay, okay, good." ”

When he came to the room of Bai Ye upstairs, his uncle looked at it cautiously and did not dare to touch anything. Bai Ye brought tea, he picked it up, and praised: "It's so good, you take care of yourself in an orderly manner." ”

He felt that this topic might be about Bai Ye's mother, so he quickly stopped talking and stopped continuing.

The two exchanged a few words, chatted and chatted Bai Ye found that his uncle had changed too much, and he was unexpectedly a very good person.

I don't know if I saw the wrong person originally, or if Zhuang Wen learned from the pain and became a new person.

At this time, Bai Ye asked, "Uncle, how is your work?" ”

He knew that Zhuang Wen had lost his job a long time ago, but it was hard to say.

Zhuang Wen said calmly: "The original job was lost a long time ago, and then I found a job as a plumber repairer, which is not bad." Now life is on the right track. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Wen suddenly said, "Xiaoye, can I take a look at your sewer pipe?" ”

White Night didn't understand why he said that. Anyway, he didn't have any secrets to hide from the sewer pipe, so he nodded and agreed.

Zhuang Wen came to the kitchen, opened the cabinet door and took a brief look, then knocked and returned to the dining table to sit down.

"This building is a little old." Zhuang Wen said solemnly: "I saw outside just now that some concrete cracks have appeared. If you go to your kitchen, the sewer pipe doesn't sound right, which proves that the building is a bit old. ”

"It's better to live in a different place recently, it's not safe here." Zhuang Wen kindly reminded.
