Chapter 4 Type of Entrustment: SOS: Mercenaries are urgently needed
"Hah...... Ha ......"
In a dark alley, Shirahoshi was leaning against the wall and gasping for air, his back was charred black, and the fibers of his clothes stuck to his skin due to the high temperature.
Bai Xing still had palpitations in his heart when he recalled the firelight just now, and in two days, he was faced with two life and death moments.
It's okay to say that you don't have that ability the first time, but the second time, even if you have the ability to be a stand-in, it's still the same, in the end, your combat experience is still too lacking.
He touched his back with his backhand, and as soon as he touched it, a sharp pain and burning sensation were transmitted into his brain, coupled with a lingering feeling of nausea and dizziness in his head.
The ability of the "Platinum Star" also has a cooldown, this time is about three seconds, if the cooldown is over, then no matter how he uses it, it will not be a big deal, but at the moment of crisis just now, Shirahoshi forcibly started and stopped during the cooldown, which caused his head to be as uncomfortable as a pinprick now.
Shirahoshi's state at this time can be said to be extremely poor, and even a random homeless man on the street can easily solve him.
"I'm going to the hospital again......"
Shirahoshi picked up a package on the ground, which he had placed here in advance, containing the items he had bought on the black market before he came to act, and after buying it, he remembered that he didn't know how to use the Lexington pistol and two boxes of ammunition.
A few bottles of the Force-Cure Type 2, as well as the explosives he used to blow up the opponent's stronghold just now, he used one pack just now, and now there are four packs left.
These things alone cost him a whole five thousand euros, especially the five packs of explosives, which, according to the boss who sold him them, are military technology.
Bai Xing took out a bottle of healing medicine, held it against his mouth and nose and inhaled it fiercely, and the healing medicine in it poured into his body and immediately made him feel a lot better.
He carried the bag back to the place where he had fought Hawley, and looked at Hawley's unrecognizable corpse in silence.
Hawley and his little brothers were chatting just now, and Shirahoshi could hear it clearly in the shadows next to him......
It's just a pity, it's a fucking night city......
After thinking about it, he decided to erect a monument next to Holly, bury Holly, and by the way, bury his past self.
"Let's go to the hospital quickly...... Yes! Pain, pain, pain! ”
After doing all this, Bai Xing grinned and endured the pain of recurrence, and walked towards the hospital that he had visited several times in a short period of time.
——————————
In a luxurious apartment in the city center, Sirzati sits on a sofa in front of a coffee table in a rich golden bathrobe, and he takes a sip of coffee from the coffee table.
Sirzati opened the computer and selected one of the emails, read it for two seconds, and then deleted it.
??? : Your two little brothers were killed, I know where they are, in a dark hotel on Jerez Street, in the annex.
Hawley: Who are you?
Hawley: Why help me?
Hawley: Anyway...... Thank you......
——————————
The next morning.
Shirahoshi woke up from the hospital bed, skillfully walked to the front desk, skillfully paid, and then left the hospital in distress.
This night, he slept away another thousand euros!
"What! How can you do that! That's mine! It's mine! ”
"Hey, are you free tonight? I know there's a good place to go......"
"You want a bite too? Pay me first! Cousin! ”
The chaotic sounds of the street kept coming to Shirahoshi's ears, but there was one voice that stood out inside - Stanley.
"Good morning – Night City!
Let's take a look at last night's Dead Man's Lotto – a full twenty-six!
Thanks a lot to Santo Domingo! I heard those two huge explosions, and I guess you didn't miss them!
On top of that, there's the endless gang fight, and they're fighting again! I'm your iron buddy Stanley, come with me and start a new day in the city of dreams! ”
Stanley, this guy is like an alarm clock, ringing every morning in Night City on time to turn over a new day in Night City.
Shirahoshi withdrew his gaze from some of the electronic screens hanging outside the shops on the street, and he was naturally aware of the so-called explosion.
At this moment, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and Bai Xing took out his mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at the incoming call.
Muammar Reyes.
He knew this name, the most well-known intermediary in Santo Domingo, known as "Old Captain", but what puzzled him was how the other party knew about him? Is it because of yesterday's revenge?
With doubts, Shirahoshi answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Shirahoshi, I heard that you killed Hawley's gang yesterday? Alas...... That's a pity, I have a good opinion of them, Holly is quite trustworthy, and he works well.
I'm sorry, but it's not like I'm trying to get revenge on him or anything, after all, strength is king in Night City. Just I wanted to ask you, are you interested in working with me? ”
"Where did you know my name?" Shirahoshi asked the question he was most puzzled about.
"Hey, I'm an 'old captain,' and it's not hard for me to find someone in Santo Domingo."
That being said, he had never said the name Shirahoshi to anyone, after all, he didn't know anyone in Night City, so he couldn't just pull someone on the street and say, "Hey! I'm Shirahoshi! Let's make friends! ”
That's stupid too.
The only thing he can think of is the bastard of Sirzati, that guy is a proper old fox, after all, he is in the company, and in terms of intrigue and trickery, he is playing clearly, but even if Shirahoshi knows this, he can't do anything, one is that the other party is deep in Arasaka, and the other is that he doesn't know anything about these at all.
Bai Xing didn't bother to think about those problems, it was true to temper himself now, and when the time came, the soldiers would come to block it, and the water would cover it.
"Do you have any commissions from you now?"
Muammar smiled and said, "Of course, friend. The Six Street Gang, you know, right? There was a little boy who was kidnapped by them, and his father immediately called me to ask me to find a reliable person to rescue his son. I will send you the specific location by mail.
I'm sure this is just a minor test for you, but you've killed Hawley's guy, and he's not a nobody.
That's it, I'm waiting for good news from you, brother. ”
With that, Muammar hung up.
Shirahoshi flipped out the new email he had just received on his phone and confirmed the location, not far away, in a restaurant near here.
——————————
In front of Pai Tomei's Restaurant –
"Hey, it's said that I can make a lot of money after this ticket is finished, and I'm going to go to Twist Street to have a good time."
"Come on, aren't you afraid that your waist will not be protected? Isn't that the implant you just fitted? ”
These are two strong men wearing tactical vests, military boots on their feet, and brass snake rifles in their hands, and if you don't notice the blue skull symbol with the number "6" on their armbands, you can really think that they are a group of regular standard armed forces.
The Six Streets Gang, Santo Domingo's largest gang, a group of retired veterans who fought in the Fourth Corporate War, formed the Six Streets Gang due to disappointment with the NCPD in Night City.
It is said to be under the slogan of "bringing justice to Night City", but now it is nothing more than a group of bullies and gangsters in Santo Domingue who do underground business.
Shirahoshi was standing at the corner of the opposite house at this time, observing every move of this restaurant, and there were more than a dozen people who could be seen on the bright side.
He still holds a piece of food in his hand, which is his habit, and when he is nervous or thinking about a problem, he always wants to eat something.
It's just that yesterday's energy bar was changed to a hot dog, and when it comes to this white star, it's a little angry, and he only knew from the street advertisement after eating that energy bar yesterday that the hanging energy bar was actually a protein energy bar made of TM bugs!
Maybe the people of this world have long been accustomed to such food, but Shirahoshi said that he is completely powerless against it.
He took another bite of the hot dog, thinking in his head where to start with the action that was waiting for him.
"Old Captain" is said to be easy, but to do it, this test is not so easy, Holly Nabo himself used explosives to kill a large number of people first.
But it doesn't work.
If the target is blown up, where will he cry? This is the first order of my own serious eight, and I must do my best! In this way, he can make a name for himself.
Thinking of this, Shirahoshi began to act, and his figure disappeared around the corner in an instant, but the drunk next to him looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Damn, wasn't there someone just now? Could it be that my wine hasn't woken up yet......"
In this regard, Bai Xing said that don't ask, asking is to stop at the time, it is better than stopping on the stairs to move people's crumbs at a certain time!
The gray world is a world that belongs to Shirahoshi alone.
Shirahoshi's figure had already come to the back door of the restaurant, no surprise, there were also guards here, the guard in front of him was motionless, and his expression remained serious and stared ahead, but this seriousness looked a little ridiculous in Shirahoshi's eyes.
A hand knife slashed out, and the Tianling Gai who was guarding in the middle did not scream, did not burst juice, and even that serious expression did not change.
At the end of the stop, the guard's body suddenly fell down, and the strength of the "Platinum Star" had turned his brain into a mess, and the white star caught the guard's fallen body and the gun in his hand, so as not to make a sound to alarm the personnel inside.
After throwing the body into the garbage bin, he summoned the "Platinum Star" to pinch the lock of the back door directly into powder, and then lightly touched the door.
"That's really ......"
Shirahoshi shrunk behind a grocery box and asked the stand-in to observe the situation, and the pupils of the "Platinum Star" contracted and dilated, and immediately shared the number of people in the restaurant and the location information to Shirahoshi.
The situation inside was indeed more dangerous than what he had just seen from the outside, dozens of heavily armed gang members were on the alert all the time, including a super man who was a circle taller than the others, carrying a Type 31 heavy machine gun.
Produced by military technology, it has great power and rate of fire, and it should have been a weapon for stationary turrets or vehicles, but you can always see it in the hands of some of the thugs and gang members in Night City and be swept into a sieve.
"It's you, the first target ......"
