Chapter 601: Taiping Zhou

In the latest email, David said that he had met a young girl with whom he was doing something not so legal to make money.

"Girl? Did you meet Lucy? ”

Xia Yu browsed the email sent to him by David and muttered casually: "It seems that the plot is still on the right path, and that guy still has Sianweistan on his body." ”

According to the opening plot of the Edge Walker, it was the car accident that caused David to lose his mother, and then he was bullied by his college classmates the next day, which made him put on the non-prosthetic San Weistein in desperation.

This prosthetic was stolen by Gloria from the dead cyberpsycho, and only by sneaking around and doing some illegal smuggling can Gloria keep her little family running.

After putting on Sianweistein, David first went to the academy to beat up his classmates and bullied them, and then dropped out of school without hesitation.

On the way home from school, he met Lucy, who was stealing chips to make extra money, and the two hit it off and decided to cooperate to steal chips.

Then, that same night, he joined Mann's team by chance, and just as David gradually integrated into the team, the members of the team died one by one, until even the boss Mann died.

By the time the end of the day, the team had been wiped out, leaving only Lucy and a bearded driver alive, and even David smashed into a mosaic.

However, this is only the beginning of the plot, and David has not even joined Mann Team yet, and has only just met Lucy.

The time of encounter is earlier than in the animation.,I don't know if it's a butterfly effect or what.。

After thinking about it, Xia Yu replied to David's email, to the effect that Night City is free, and you can do whatever you want.

After replying to David's message, Xia Yu refreshed his mailbox and found that the college had also sent him an email, mainly asking why he didn't come to school.

Mail from the Academy, huh......

I can't read it back.

Turning off the interface in front of him, Xia Yu crossed his hands against the back of his head, and his body went soft and lay down on the bed again.

"Let me think about it, the Animal Gang, the Vortex Gang, the Tiger Claw Gang, the Scavengers, the Voodoo Gang......"

"Where did the Voodoo Gang come from? Taiping Island seems to be, and Dog Town seems to be coming in Taiping Island. ”

Xia Yu suddenly remembered one thing, in Cyberpunk 2077's DLC Shadow of the Past, Dog Town is next to the stadium in Taipingzhou, including the Taipingzhou Stadium itself is included in the scope of Dog Town.

Dogtown is the fortress of rebel Colonel Kurt Hansen, who defies the evacuation orders after the Battle of Unification and carves out his own private domain and black market, becoming the dictator of Dogtown.

Dogtown is not a luxurious city, but a dilapidated city within a city, a subdivision of the former Taiping Chau.

While most of the residents of Dogtown are on the verge of poverty, they can also be said to have escaped the rule of corporations.

But if the residents of Dogtown had a choice, the vast majority would have chosen to work in a company rather than stay in this impoverished city-within-a-city.

Dog Town didn't have much attraction to Xia Yu, he just suddenly remembered that Taiping Continent in Night City seemed to be a three-way zone.

Not to mention that the company has settled in it, even the NCPD is too lazy to care about it.

Taiping Chau was originally planned as a night city for income-generating resorts, and the project originated from the economic recovery in the 60s of the 20th century, when some investors wanted to make money from tourism projects.

These investors have invested heavily in turning this impoverished southern suburb into a thriving tourist destination.

However, the joint war in 2069 caused most investors to withdraw their funds and abandon Taiping Chau, so most of the buildings were left unfinished before they were completed.

After the termination of the investment, thousands of people had nowhere to go and were abandoned here.

The vast majority of them are cheap laborers hired by investors, mostly Haitian immigrants.

Later, in an unprecedented civic initiative, the Voodoo gang united with local homeless people to establish the Creole community in Taipingzhou, which quickly degenerated into the decadent it is today.

Taiping Chau, which was supposed to be a tourist attraction, is now nowhere to be seen by tourists, only gangs that have no scruples to use violence.

The collision of ideals and reality always brings endless disappointment, and Taiping Zhou is just one of the microcosms of this world.

"You can go to this three-way zone and try your hand."

Thinking about it, Xia Yu sat up, if he uprooted the Voodoo Gang in Taiping Continent, then the company would definitely pour into this area with a thousand thanks.

Even though the Zephyr Manor and seaside area of Taiping Chau have been transformed into slums by local communities, as long as these nail households are gone, the restarted Taiping Chau is a benefit that no one can refuse.

After the end of the joint war in 2070, the previous investors intended to restart the project, but they were resisted by the voodoo gangs.

The NCPD's intervention further exacerbated weeks of widespread unrest, and the NCPD's chief, fearing a mass massacre, ordered the withdrawal of police forces from the area.

In order to stop the local community from revolting, the city council shut down all services in Taiping Chau, trying to force the Voodoo gang and the locals to relocate, but to no avail.

Since then, Taiping Chau has become a three-way zone, and the city council, the NCPD and the corporate army have no control over Taipingzhou.

Xia Yu didn't think of being kind enough to help the company, he took a fancy to the three characteristics of Taipingzhou.

If you go to subdue the voodoo gang, then if you want to do something in the future, you can use this as a starting point, and you are not afraid to make wedding clothes for others.

"Forget it, I've skipped class anyway, and it's not bad for a few days."

After deciding on the next goal, Xia Yu didn't bother to continue to go back to the academy for classes, he had been skipping for a day, and if he had one, there were two, could he still be expelled? The tuition fees were paid.

Before he went, he asked Sasha for a map.,This girl's message to him is a second reply.,It's much faster to find the other party to ask for a map than to find a map directly on the Internet.,And it's a lot more accurate and detailed.。

He's a hacker anyway, and it's impossible to perfunctory him with a map that can be found on the Internet.

It didn't take long for Sasha to send the map without asking.

The map sent not only marked the scope of the gang, but also the various regional divisions, the approximate location of all the Voodoo strongholds, etc., which cannot be found on the Internet.

Xia Yu: "Thank you, thank you a lot!" ”

After roughly scanning the map, Xia Yu replied to Sasha, this map was exactly what he wanted.

After having the approximate location of the Voodoo Gang's stronghold, he didn't need to find them one by one, and he could directly enter the stronghold and kill, saving a lot of time.

Sasha: "Hehe, of course, when are you going to come and play?" I'll tell you a secret, I've got a new look. ”

Xia Yu: "Next time, I've been a little busy lately, so I won't come first." ”

Sasha: "Alright then......"

Sasha: "If you want to go to the Voodoo, be safe, they are extremely xenophobic, and most of the members of the Voodoo Gang are top cyber hackers, and you are a full-body prosthetic ......"

Xia Yu: "Peace of mind, it's okay." ”

Sasha: "Stay safe!" ”

After hanging up the communication with Sasha, Xia Yu opened the window, jumped into the sky, and went straight to Taiping Continent, the southernmost point of Night City.

This time he didn't rush over, if he was in a hurry about everything, it was a bad habit.

It took a short time through various transfers before Xia Yu came to this area that was once developed as a tourist resort.

As far as the eye can see, there are no boutiques for all ages, no pop-up prosthetic clinics, and no happy crowds of tourists wandering around enjoying the best time of their lives.

There is only extreme poverty, crumbling infrastructure, and rampant gang violence.

But with the poverty and violence, there's a lot of potential, and with the right investment and vigorous demolitions, it could become Night City's top resort destination.

Of course, the premise is that the nail household here agrees.

"Tsk, this is the way to hell."

Looking at the amusement buildings in Taiping Continent that looked luxurious at first glance, but were in tatters, Xia Yu frowned.

These buildings have long since lost the role they once used to plan projects and are now the only home for homeless homeless people.

The homeless here are no different from the homeless people in Night City, staring blankly at the air, living one day at a time.

I don't know what the meaning of living is, but I don't want to die so casually, which is a true portrayal of these homeless people.

To be honest, Xia Yu didn't think the residents here wanted to live like this.

But instead of letting the company pour in, they would rather guard their homeland and not back down, because they knew that if they really let the company enter Taipingzhou, they would even lose this extremely poor home.

Just as Xia Yu was looking at these homeless people, those homeless people also cast unkind glances at Xia Yu, they didn't welcome outsiders to come here.

Xia Yu was covered in the skin of a ghostwalker at the moment, but he was not afraid of these sights, anyway, his true face was not revealed.

"Hey, where the fuck are you stupid, do you know whose territory this is?"

Just as Xia Yu was thinking about where to start, two gang members suddenly walked over to him, and they kept cursing and swearing as they came.

Judging by their attire, it is unmistakable that they are members of the Voodoo Gang.

The Voodoo Gang, made up almost entirely entirely of Haitians, is a secret gang that is constantly on guard against outsiders.

The gang was originally founded by voodoo priests and priestesses, immigrants from Haiti, a high-caste class in Creole culture.

Yes, Haiti still maintains a very strict caste system, and the members of the Voodoo gang are basically high castes, which is why they can maintain gang unity.

People of the same class will spontaneously maintain unity for the sake of their own privileges.

Because the Voodoo's clothing and body modifications are somewhat similar to voodoo, their clothing often has a "voodoo" style, such as dreadlocks, tattoos, and ornaments made of bird and rodent bones.

But even so, they themselves do not identify with the name Voodoo, which was given to them by other gangs.

Looking at the two members of the Voodoo Gang who came over, Xia Yu didn't talk nonsense, and directly swung his knife and slashed it horizontally, killing him easily.

Seeing someone killing people in the street, the expressions of the homeless people around them changed, and they fled here in a hurry.

Although gang fights and drug dealings have become the norm in this area, the locals have long been accustomed to it.

But when they suddenly saw a reformed person with a whole body prosthetic killing people on the street, they were still a little frightened in their hearts, after all, this reformed person who killed people on the street was very likely to become cyberpsychotic.

Indiscriminate cyberpsychosis is extremely murderous, and they don't want to be involved.

In addition, the Terrorist Task Force will not come to Taiping Chau to help them kill cyber psychosis, and if cyber psychosis occurs, only the Voodoo gang will solve it.

"Why are you running so fast, I'm not a random killer."

Xia Yu looked at the homeless people who were fleeing, and took two steps forward with the long knife in his hand, but this made those homeless people escape faster.

Obviously, someone is completely unaware that he is a cyber lunatic in the eyes of others.

Seeing the others running farther and farther, Xia Yu didn't bother to explain, he really wanted to explain to those who ran away that he was not a random murderer, that was not a pure fool.

Shaking off the blood on the knife, Xia Yu opened the system, took out the Ghost Walker's card from the card slot, and then replaced it with the card of Thunderbolt.

Coming here was originally to train the proficiency of thunder and lightning, so naturally you have to use thunder and lightning to fight, although the ghost walker will be at the full level if you use it again.

But it's not bad at this time, anyway, there will be more opportunities to fight in the future.

After inserting the Raiden card, Xia Yu pulled out Raiden's weapon, the "High Frequency Wave Knife", and rushed towards a stronghold on the map.

He won't kill innocent people, but he won't show mercy to gang members.

There is no good person in the gang, maybe killing all of them will kill innocents by mistake, but killing nine and letting one go, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net.

Moreover, the Voodoo Gang's dressing style is very distinct, and they are not afraid of killing the wrong person or anything.

With the strange tattoos and ornaments made of bones, you can tell at a glance that they are members of the Voodoo Gang.

As for the resistance of the members of the Voodoo Gang, he didn't pay attention to it at all, the low-level members had little combat power, and the high-level members were hackers.

In general, there is no threat.

The physical combat power of the hacker will make every gun go up to the sky, and the prosthetic body on the body has basically nothing to do with physical combat.

They are the strongest on the network, and their combat methods are almost always based on hacking into the network, such as paralyzing the enemy's prosthetic body, or stuffing the enemy's neural network with a puppet virus, etc.

Although Raiden is a mechanical transformer, his transformation technology comes from the Metal Gear world, and it is not a transformation technology from the cyberpunk world at all.

Those hackers who want to paralyze the modified prosthetic body of Thunderbolt must first understand this technology before they can crack the intrusion, which is equivalent to stuffing viruses into other people's computers, and also have to understand how other people's computer systems are written.

In a few moments, someone in the Voodoo Gang's headquarters noticed the intruder.

"Plasid, someone is invading us, our other strongholds in Taiping Continent are being uprooted one by one, and all the people in the stronghold are dead."

A member of the Voodoo gang suddenly ran up to a strong black man and reported loudly.

The black strong man's name is Plasid, and he is the second-in-command of the Voodoo Gang, and the people around him are in awe of him, and everyone is obedient without him lifting a finger.
