Chapter 236: Return to Hongcheng!

Bai Ye and Yuan Jie found some clothes from the inventory and replaced the old clothes to avoid being recognized by the people of the General Services Department.

"What's next?" Yuan Jie sighed: "There is no signal either. Can't find where the family is. ”

He was looking forward to being able to contact his family, but who knew that the General Services Department would move so quickly and directly block the signals around Hongcheng.

Bai Ye comforted him and said, "Get out of the city!" It's very likely that your family has already left Hongcheng before. When you get to the place where there is a signal, you can see the message they sent you before they left. ”

Yuan Jie listened to Bai Ye's meaning and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you going to go out?" ”

In the face of war, the idea of the vast majority of people is to leave as soon as possible. But he didn't seem to mean that way when he saw the white night.

"I'll tell you the truth." Bai Ye said to Yuan Jie seriously: "I have an incurable disease. It's a disease of the brain, and if it's not cured, you won't even live for a month. ”

"The plants that were stolen before were just for curing."

"And now, the only medical AI that can cure me is in Hongcheng, what do you think I can choose?"

"If you go back, you may die in the war. But if you don't go back, you'll die 100 percent of the disease. ”

After Bai Ye's words were finished, Yuan Jie was silent.

He didn't expect that Bai Ye, who looked healthy on the outside, was actually suffering from an incurable disease.

I wanted to persuade Bai Ye to go out with him, but I couldn't say anything. Bai Ye didn't go back to die, but for his own life!

What else could he say about that?

Yuan Jie was silent for a long time, and patted Bai Ye's shoulder: "Brother, don't be discouraged. This kind of thing will definitely be solved. ”

Bai Ye smiled; "Then I'll borrow your good words."

Yuan Jie thought for a while: "Why don't I go in with you?" Maybe my family is still in there? ”

White Night decisively refused this time!

This is different from the last time Yuan Jie helped pick the lock. Last night was very chaotic. The guards were busy putting out the fire, and their condition was relatively safe.

But going to Hongcheng is different. It was a real place of war. Guns have no eyes, and if you are not careful, where does a stray bullet come from, it may kill someone else.

Yuan Jie's strength is basically clear. I have been engaged in cultural work for many years, and some of the ideas that I have finally obtained are also in preparation for prison escape. In terms of frontal combat, defense, speed, etc. are not up to par. Isn't going to the battlefield to death?

Yuan Jie is a good person, and Bai Ye doesn't want him to follow him to death.

"Absolutely not." Bai Ye said solemnly: "You also know how dangerous war is. ”

"I'm not like you, I have a lot of combat prosthetics on me, almost specifically made for fighting. Even if I encounter an encounter, my chances of survival are very good. So I dared to take the risk. And I don't have a choice. ”

"But you have. There are still your wives and children waiting for you outside Hongcheng. Do you want to make your children orphans? ”

As soon as he said this, Yuan Jie was silent.

Bai Ye urged: "Now the matter of the camp on the mountain has not spread, hurry up and leave, it's still too late." Otherwise, they may set up a checkpoint here in order to capture the captives. At that time, I didn't have a chance to run if I wanted to! ”

Yuan Jie was shocked when he heard this.

That's really the way it is.

The people of the General Services Department have the means to connect with each other. They contacted and looked for themselves in the line out of the city, and it was not so easy to run.

He didn't want to be in a prisoner of war camp again! And if he is locked up again this time, his life may not be guaranteed.

"I see, take care!"

Yuan Jie finally made his decision.

Bai Ye nodded and said, "We'll see you outside Hongcheng." I won't spend too much time. ”

Of course, these words are to comfort Yuan Jie. After Bai Ye went in, he didn't know if he would be able to come back alive?

Yuan Jie and Bai Ye exchanged contact information, said goodbye to Bai Ye, found a car and left the car, and entered the torrent out of the city.

Bai Yemu sent Yuan Jie away.

Next, he was alone again!

White Night found that it seems that since the Night City game, he has been in this state for the vast majority of the time.

Johnny Silverhand in his body may be one of his companions in a sense. But this is not a good company, the two of them are like fire and water, each wants to get rid of the other.

White Night has to return to the city even if he risks his life. Just to kill Johnny Silverhand!

He moved from the small dilapidated abandoned house where he had just been. Come to the vicinity of the highway.

He dared to say that when he entered Hongcheng, he should not be pursued by the General Services Administration.

The General Services Administration would certainly not have imagined that there would be a madman who would not escape from the prisoner of war camp and do not leave here, but go deep into the tiger's den!

From the perspective of a normal person, this is simply looking for death. 、

Therefore, Bai Ye's return to Hongcheng has an advantage: he will not be interrogated and interrogated.

But there was one thing he had to solve: there was still a long way to go into Hongcheng. This stretch of road is full of GSD vehicles at this time, and there are no other cars coming here at all.

If Bai Ye drove his own car in, it would be too conspicuous.

The General Services Administration would not have interrogated him, but seeing his very abnormal situation, it is estimated that he will become suspicious, and even interrogate his behavior and ask about his identity.

That's when it's dangerous.

White Night misses Ilsa very much at this time.

With Ilsa's ability, he will have a lot more choice. As long as you can change your appearance, you have a lot of ways to return to Hongcheng.

I don't know how Ilsa is doing now, has she escaped from Hongcheng and is away from the danger here?

White Night wasn't too worried about Ilsa's safety. Her ability to change disguises far exceeds that of most people, and besides, Ilsa herself is not wanted or anyone is asking her trouble, so she must be much safer than Bai Ye herself.

Bai Ye turned on the communication terminal again, but there was still no signal.

He estimated that the black-clad people of the General Services Department should have a machine to restore the signal. After all, they need to communicate with each other, and they also need to communicate with the outside world.

If he had the chance, he could get something similar from the man in black.

Hakuya thinks about how to get out of here. He opened the satellite map and looked for nearby terrain. Let's see if there are any routes that will get you out quickly.

Soon, White Night found a clue.

That is the "Blackwater Town" that he once marked on the map.

Is the route from Blackwater Town to Hongcheng that no one will take?

White Night calculated. The road in front of him is undoubtedly the main route for the General Services Administration to transport troops, equipment, and various reserves. Can't go from here.

But driving in the other direction, it is the route from Heishui Town to Hongcheng that I am very familiar with.

The General Services Department has just cleaned up the entire town of Blackwater, so there shouldn't be any troops left there! Plus that route is already inhabited......

Here's a chance! White Nights thinks this route is worth trying!

As he said he would, he pulled his car out of his inventory and sped all the way up the road.

I made a big circle and came to the similar wasteland road before.

There are so many fewer cars here than anywhere else!

White Night was pleasantly surprised.

The vast majority of vehicles drove out of Hongcheng and headed into the distance. There are far fewer vehicles at this exit than there used to be, as Hongcheng only has one exit for residents to leave the city. Therefore, the people who managed to escape from there drove directly along the road.

On this highway, there are no vehicles going to Hongcheng at all, only Bai Ye is alone.

White Night galloped on the highway as fast as he could, and soon arrived near Blackwater Town!

When he arrived here, Bai Ye was surprised to find that the town that had been going to take the path and enter the woods to look for a long time now suddenly appeared on the side of the road!

The big words "Blackwater Town" are hung at the gate, as if welcoming tourists.

White night look. By this time the town was in a dilapidated state, and there was no one in it. The buildings are also in tatters, which is a good thing done by the people in black in the General Services Department.

This strange place is no longer the scenery of the past at this time. I guess it will continue to be dilapidated like this in the future.

Bai Ye thought, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly found a place that was different from what he remembered.

He clearly remembered that when he left, there was a pit at the gate.

The pit was bombarded by the General Services Department with a hand cannon, and at that time, Bai Ye could see clearly, and the entire bluestone slab was directly shattered.

But at this time, the ground turned out to be intact!

What's going on?

It's impossible for the General Services Administration to be idle and fix what it has broken, right?

Could it be that the town was automatically repaired?

When Bai Ye thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart!

He looked up at the sign of "Blackwater Town" and felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably. It was as if the dead thing was staring at itself.

He glanced into the town again. I suddenly found that the door that I had just seen that had been kicked out was now as good as new!

It's definitely not that he's dazzled! It's the real thing!

Bai Ye dared to be 100% sure. When he looked at it just now, the door was still rotten.

Bai Ye couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

This place, something is wrong! Something is wrong!

I thought that everything was made by the strange creatures inside the lord and the strange servants, but who knew that even if there were no creatures in this town, it would still be so unusual!

Bai Ye took a deep look at this strange town. Turn around and get back into the car and drive away.

He had a hunch. In the future, some people will be tricked into entering here, and those people will become new weird townspeople......

The cycle goes on and on, and it never stops.

However, he himself will never be affected by this strange town.

Leaving Blackwater in the night, he soon came to the intersection where he had been bustling before.

It's also very different here. Originally, there were all kinds of vehicles in all directions, but now there are only many vehicles coming out of Hongcheng.

All kinds of shops near the intersection are closing. Convenience stores, car repair shops, restaurants, ...... All shops are closed.

White Night was not surprised by this. He estimated that the people who left here should be the first to leave.

After all, to be able to do business here, they are all well-informed bosses. When they heard that something was wrong, they should have already run away.

Continuing to drive forward, the scenery is becoming more and more familiar.

When Bai Ye was about to arrive near Hongcheng, he suddenly stopped his car suddenly!

As fast as he could, he placed his car in the inventory.

Then quickly run towards the nearby factory area.

We've arrived at the place where the General Services Department has set up a checkpoint!

In the white night, you can see the extremely tall walls of Hongcheng, as well as the black pressure of the troops of the General Services Administration! They have all kinds of war machinery here, and there are many men in black to watch over them.

However, this should be the place where the backup facilities are stored. The battle strategy of the General Services Department is to hit the point where the power strikes the city wall, so that the strong city wall is destroyed and the gap is created, and then the results are expanded and won in one fell swoop!

It seems that someone at the checkpoint has ultra-distant vision and has spotted the existence of White Night. At this time, two men in black were being sent to walk over here with weapons.

Bai Ye didn't expect that there would be such a troublesome enemy, so he could only leave here quickly, find cover and hide.

The most troublesome thing here is that it is surrounded by wasteland, and there is no place to hide. The only thing that can block the enemy's view is the factory area.

Because of the incident in Hongcheng, the factory has long been completely shut down. The huge chimney, which had been emitting black smoke for 24 hours, stopped. The roar of the machines was inaudible, and there was silence all around.

White Night entered the factory area and found a building to block his body. It's like a labyrinth, and it's hard to find yourself if you don't have special abilities on the other side.

While he was hiding, he thought about how he should enter Hongcheng.

There are troops guarding the gate. Like swaggering in, that's absolutely impossible.

Entering through the fence? Not to mention whether the man in black would see such a thing as himself, the high wall itself is twenty meters long, made of a special alloy, and there is no place to climb at all.

If they could have climbed, the black-clad people would have entered through the wall. None of them have been able to storm Hongcheng now, which has explained a lot of problems.

White Night is in trouble for the time being.

Meanwhile. He heard the voices of two men.

"Did you find anything?"

"Nope! Were they dazzled just now? Not to mention people, I haven't even seen a mouse. ”

"Not necessarily. This factory area is intricate, and who knows where the kid is hiding. ”

"Let's keep looking. After half an hour, if you haven't received the goods, you can go back. ”

The man in black of the General Services Administration!

They're really chasing the factory to find White Night!

Not only that, but their location was also very close to Bai Ye's position at this time.

Bai Ye could clearly hear their small voices and footsteps as they walked!

Maybe the other party walks around the corner and can find the existence of the white night!

Chapter 237: Preparing for Surgery!

Bai Ye cautiously bypassed the two men in black and walked towards the depths of the factory.

There was no way, he had to do it now.

It is obviously unwise to arouse the vigilance of the man in black. The purpose of the white night is to return to Hongcheng and use the blue flower to heal himself, not to fight with the man in black and die.

The factory area is very quiet, and the faint sound of artillery can be heard in the distance.

It should be the offensive and defensive battle between the General Affairs Administration and Hongcheng at the main gate, and the voice came here.

The war is raging!

White Night hid behind the building, and could hear the voices of the two men in black who were searching. They didn't find anyone for two and a half days, and the default was the guard's eyes. As he walked, he talked about the war.

"We're lucky if we don't fight here."

One of the men in black said.

Another shook his head: "Not necessarily! It's also dangerous to launch a general attack. It is estimated that all the troops will be dispatched at that time, and no one will be able to escape! ”

Bai Ye listened to the words of the two men in black, and thought in his heart: "General attack? ”

It seems that the situation in Hongcheng is not very good.

Soon after the General Services Administration began to start the war, it was already thinking about a general offensive. Even the low-ranking men in black are discussing.

Thinking about it, Hongcheng is just a city after all, although it has been prepared for war in advance, and it also has the technical blessing of Night City. But the scale is too small compared to the Federation.

Whether it is troops, technology, or various materials, it is impossible to compare with the Federation.

It's only a matter of time before it doesn't last. It's just that Bai Ye didn't expect it to be so fast.

White Nights are constantly moving through the industrial area.

He knew that he would definitely not be able to enter the gate in front of him. During the war between Hongcheng and the General Services Administration, the gate was completely closed, and the General Affairs Department could only garrison troops here, unable to enter.

Then there is only one way, which is to take a detour to the frontal battlefield and see if there is any chance there for White Night to blend in!

This is an extremely dangerous practice, and of course Bai Ye himself knows it.

On the frontal battlefield, the battle on both sides must be very fierce at this time. Artillery fire was continuous, and all kinds of weapons attacked each other. If Bai Ye wants to enter Hongcheng in this situation, it is simply a life of death.

But he still had to get there.

I need [Emma] to help me treat my physical problems!

[Emma] This kind of artificial intelligence, maybe there is only one such one in the world, which is very precious. If you miss it, you won't have it.

Moreover, there is also a feeling in Bai Ye's heart that he can trust [Emma]. For other artificial intelligence, there is no such inexplicable sense of trust at all. Even if the technology is superb enough, Bai Ye does not dare to entrust his life to other artificial intelligence.

It can only be said that the white night at this time has no choice.

He made a detour along the city walls, all the way to the vicinity of the frontal battlefield.

This is the main gate, and it is also the place where the battle between Hongcheng and the General Services Department is fiercest!

The battle was going on outside the city gates. Bunkers were created from a large amount of discarded materials on both sides, and they relied on bunkers for various operations.

Countless bullets cut through the air and landed on the opponent's territory.

Smoke is billowing out!

The situation here, and at the other gate, are two extremes altogether.

This fight is in full swing, and on the other side, the years are quiet.

White Night hid in a nearby bunker. At this time, the battle was very fierce, and no one noticed his inconspicuous existence at all.

He observed the battle on both sides and soon noticed something abnormal!

Except for the occasional use of heavy firepower, the two sides have always tacitly agreed that they have not used anything that can decide the outcome of the battle. Even ordinary artillery shells were rarely used, and soldiers on both sides fought each other with weapons.

The scale is very small.

What's going on?

Bai Ye wondered in his heart, such a battle seemed to be fierce, but in fact, there was still a lot of room for improvement!

What is the General Services Department doing, grinding foreign workers?

Judging from the current scale, where is this war, it is simply two larger gangs fighting each other.

This can't be a battle volume of the level of the General Services Administration and Hong Cheng!

Bai Ye was on the edge of the battlefield, and he was closer to Hongcheng's side. Now he finally discovered the situation on Hongcheng's side!

It's not humans fighting, it's a lot of robots!

Countless steel robots, equipped with a variety of weapons, keep firing!

There are a lot of things that are produced in an emergency, just a steel skeleton, and they rush to the battlefield.

Not only pure artificial intelligence, but also some modified people with prosthetic bodies all over their bodies, at this time, their eyes glowed strangely, and they were also fighting desperately. Looking at their bodies in the white night, they are even wearing black trench coats from the General Services Administration!

There is no doubt that even the black-clothed people of the General Services Department, who have a relatively high degree of transformation, have been controlled by Hongcheng's resistance forces for some reason, and are fighting for Hongcheng!

No wonder the General Services Department is reluctant to fight with all its might, but with the method of war of attrition! At this time, even if they use high-level combat weapons, all they can do is kill the robots!

What's the use of killing these mass-produced robots? After beating one batch, another batch will be made, and the stream will continue!

That's why there is a stalemate at this time!

Bai Ye had some doubts in his heart, he didn't know when Hong Cheng's technology was so developed, and he could even control so many robots to fight at the same time, it was simply incredible!

He knew too well in his heart that only technology to the level of Night City, coupled with highly developed artificial intelligence, could control a large number of robots to fight.

Hong Cheng's technical level, before he left, has been developing in that direction. But it's not that simple to get to the level of adequacy.

Someone is helping Hongcheng! Who is it?

Bai Ye didn't have too many doubts in his heart. At this time, what is more important to him is how to enter Hongcheng.

He looked at the fierce battlefield and felt that he had basically no chance.

With so many robots, no matter where they go, they will be immediately discovered. In such a tense battle, the opponent is likely to shoot himself without hesitation and kill him!

There is also a large amount of fully automatic firepower capable of self-aiming on the wall. Anyone who tries to get close to it will be targeted and killed.

White Night didn't want to be a victim of this war inexplicably.

What can I do?

Just when he was very distressed, suddenly a familiar voice sounded in his head.

"You're back?"

Bai Ye's heart was shocked, [Emma]!

It's Emma's voice! And she recognized herself!

I've been disguised and transformed, and my whole body is completely different from the original. How did Emma recognize herself?

[Emma] seemed to guess what Bai Ye was thinking, and said calmly: "The perspective of artificial intelligence to see the world is different from that of humans. I recognize you, but I don't need to look at your appearance. ”

Bai Ye couldn't care much, and hurriedly said to [Emma] in his mind: "[Emma]! I need to get into the city now, can you help me?" ”

Emma smiled, "Of course." You just go straight inside, and these robots won't fire at you. ”

Bai Ye looked at the robots with red light in their eyes, and some of them walked into Hongcheng's bunker suspiciously.

Countless robots, all standing in their positions, as if they didn't see Bai Ye at all, Bai Ye walked past them, and they didn't react.

"Wow." White Night shuttled between the artillery fire at this time, but was not harmed at all. It's an amazing feeling!

In this way, with the help of [Emma], Bai Ye easily crossed the battlefield and came to the vicinity of the Hongcheng city wall!

The problem that he had been bothered by himself for a long time and couldn't think of a way to enter the city was simply solved. A piece of cake.

He came to the gate of the Hongcheng city wall as fast as he could. The gate was closed, but there was a small gate next to it for temporary supplies. White Night went straight through the small door.

The Hong Cheng inside was completely different from what he was used to before. Various buildings have been temporarily converted into combat facilities, and there are no cars or pedestrians on the wide roads, and various autonomous robots are constantly moving to carry supplies.

As far as the eye can see, there is no one in sight. Only the silent robots are moving, and the atmosphere is very solemn.

The robots lined up in a neat line, carrying a large number of bullets and guns, walked out of the city gate like an assembly line to provide ammunition for the combat robots outside.

White Night made way for them and looked in the direction of the center of the city.

"You're in." Emma's voice rang out in the heart of the white night again.

Bai Ye had countless doubts in his heart at this time.

Obviously, [Emma] is different!

The original [Emma], whose scope of activity was the medical department of Huinuo Biotech, could sometimes use the Internet to enter other parts of the company and talk to White Night.

This is quite normal.

But now, White Night heard Emma's voice even outside the city!

At the time, he thought it was a hallucination!

If it weren't for the fact that those robots couldn't seem to see themselves, Bai Ye wouldn't have believed what he had experienced!

Entering Hongcheng, too, so far away from the [Emma] host, you can clearly hear her voice and communicate with her.

"[Emma]! This...... What the hell is going on? ”

White Night asked.

Emma's voice seemed to be a little too busy at this time: "I'm busier here...... You go back to the company! I'll tell you everything here. ”

"Also, the time is very tight. We need surgery for you! ”

Bai Ye didn't dare to delay, drove his car from the inventory, and galloped all the way to Huinuo Biotech.

What I can know is that the vast majority of people in Hongcheng have already evacuated at this time. Along the way, White Night didn't even see a living person.

All the shops have been closed, and the fully automated cleaning robots on the streets have been transformed into logistics robots, providing a steady stream of supplies to the outside.

Looking at such an empty city, but with a war-killing atmosphere, Bai Ye felt extremely strange in his heart!

Bai Ye drove at full speed and soon arrived at Huinuo Biotech.

Originally, there were people coming and going, and the place was very lively, but there was no one at this time. There are only a large number of robots shuttling through it. Bai Ye could see that many robots seemed to have just been produced and put into the battlefield.

He didn't waste anything in between, hurry into the company and come to the medical area!

As soon as he arrived, he heard Emma's voice!

"You're finally here!"

Emma's voice was joyful. And the sound here sounded vibrant, much more exciting than what Bai Ye had heard outside before.

"What the hell is going on, [Emma]?"

White Night asked.

"Time is urgent, do you get your blue flowers?" [Emma] didn't answer his question directly, but asked.

White Night pulls out the chest containing the flowers from the inventory.

When I opened the box, the blue flowers were swaying.

Emma's voice was pleased: "It's good to get it, great!" ”

She said to Bai Ye, "Now I can operate on you!" ”

"Time was tight, so I prepared for surgery first. If there is any problem, I will tell you in a moment! ”

Bai Ye has a stomach full of problems in his heart. Of course, he also knows the priorities of things, and saving his life is always more important than satisfying his curiosity.

Emma was holding a sophisticated medical robotic arm and reached over. Bai Ye handed the blue flower to [Emma]: "Then let's do surgery first." Kill Johnny Silverhand! ”

Emma picked up the blue flower and carefully checked the color of the plant: "Not available for the time being." It takes 12 hours for the blue flowers to be processed. ”

Bai Ye was puzzled: "What's going on?" Isn't it ripe? ”

It couldn't be that it wasn't ripe, when he saw the blue flowers bloom with his own eyes. Moreover, it took a lot of calculations and preparations for the Lord to make the blue flowers bloom.

[Emma] said to him, "No. In order for the blue flower to work, it is impossible to use it directly, and the active ingredient must be extracted. ”

"The process would have taken at least 72 hours, or about three days. Now that the situation is urgent, I can only find a way to control the extraction process to 12 hours. ”

"The first six hours required a thorough analysis and scan of the blue flowers. The last six hours are the process of machine extraction. ”

[Emma] explained in great detail. Bai Ye, a medical layman, also understood.

"That means that it takes twelve hours before the operation can officially begin, right?"

White Night asked.

[Emma] said, "That's right! ”

"I just hope that our team outside can hold out until that time!"

Emma's voice had always been full of confidence, and it was the first time that Bai Ye had heard her feel a little unconfident.

"By the way, Professor Sergei, have they all left?"

White Night asked.

Originally, the operation was planned to require the help of Professor Sergei. But looking at the current situation, it seems that [Emma] can only operate on herself.

"That's right. As soon as the war began, Fino Biotech transferred all of its key personnel. ”
