The Badlands, in the barren region outside of Night City, in addition to the harsh weather environment, there are countless "wanderers" who live under this vast expanse of yellow sand.

A Mizutani Hayabusa off-road vehicle gallops across the yellow sand, rolling up billowing dust.

"Now, Sasha, how long are we there?"

Rebecca sat in the back seat, looking bored to death.

"It's coming, it's coming."

"That's what you said ten minutes ago."

"It's really coming soon."

Shirahoshi sat next to Rebecca and looked out the window.

"I mean, newcomer, you're not going to be the first time you've been to the Badlands, are you?"

Shirahoshi shrugged his shoulders and didn't deny it.

Rebecca rested her head on the back of the front seat, her little face flattened by the leather seat, and she looked away at Shirahoshi.

"You've been staring outside all the way, since we first came out of Night City, it's all sand, what's so nice about it?"

"I haven't seen anything in the world, I'm a turtle, okay?"

Shirahoshi said casually, thinking about another thing in his head.

At first, it was just a thought that flashed by chance, but now this thought is getting stronger and stronger, lingering in his mind.

"Now, Sasha." Shirahoshi asked.

"What's wrong?"

"When I was in the warehouse, you activated the projection device you gave me, right?"

"That's right, I'll start it remotely as soon as you come up."

"Can you still detect it? Is that projection still running? ”

"Of course not, we're all so far away from Night City now, it's long beyond my connection."

Bai Xing immediately asked, "What about before?" Before we leave Night City? Or did the device fail before the Six Street Gang chased after them? ”

“…… Not...... There is no ......"

Sasha's face sank, because as Shirahoshi had said, she hadn't missed a remote connection to the device before the Six Street Gang's pursuers arrived.

Shirahoshi was also silent, his ability was seamless, and with Sasha's device, he would never let the gang of the Six Street Gang find out so quickly.

Only Rebecca was still out of the situation in the car, and seeing that the two had been talking about the "riddler", she hurriedly asked with a blank face:

"What? What are you talking about? ”

Sasha's voice of gnashing teeth came from the front seat.

"We were sold."

Rebecca's anger instantly came up and shouted, "Huh? Which cub is it? See if I don't let him live or die! ”

"It's not clear yet."

Shirahoshi squinted his eyes and looked outside, and at the junction of the yellow sand and the sky, he suddenly caught a glimpse of some small black dots.

He summoned a stand-in and used the super eyesight of the "Platinum Star" to constantly enlarge his field of vision, and saw the true face of those small black dots.

It was a fleet of off-road vehicles, modified with either heavy machine guns or grenade launchers on top, and green sideways skulls painted on the hood.

Shirahoshi observed the other party's movements and reminded everyone in the car, "Someone is coming towards us." ”

"What?"

When Rebecca heard this, she leaned over to the window and said, "Isn't that nothing?" ”

"Don't worry, you'll see it right away—"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Xing's pupils shrank, and he quickly curled up, and at the same time reached out and pressed Rebecca's head down.

In the next second, the glass shattered violently, and countless bullets pierced through the window and out from the other side.

Before they could catch their breath, a bomb landed on the right side of the car.

The shock wave of the explosion pushed the car staggered like a small floating leaf in the waves.

"Damn it, Sasha! Are you okay?! ”

Shirahoshi's head was facing down on the bottom of the car, and his feet were on the roof, next to Rebecca, who was protected by him.

"I'm fine!" Sasha also shrunk under the cab, her face dirty, and it was clear that the explosion hadn't made her better.

"TM's! It must be a nocturnal ghost! ”

Rebecca struggled to get up, but was held back by Shirahoshi.

"Hey, what are you doing! Let go of me and let me get up! I'm going to fight with them! ”

"Don't be stupid, look at what firepower you have all over your body now!"

Previously, when Rebecca got out of the car, in order to move quickly, she didn't bring her heavy machine gun and shotgun "Iron Guts" with her.

The only ones I could handle were the two pistols at my waist.

"Huh? So what can you do? Aren't you very capable? Let's think of a way! ”

Shirahoshi didn't speak, but kept thinking about countermeasures in his head, and the "Platinum Star" saw the situation outside clearly.

There were more than a dozen cars on the opposite side, and the dust kicked up was overwhelming, and the modified firepower was extremely ferocious, and what was worse was that the opposite side only followed them from a distance and did not fight them in close combat.

Come to think of it, your own firepower is strong, you can form a perfect suppression, and you can quickly be reduced to pieces, so why take that risk to fight you in close combat?

Shirahoshi only felt extremely painful in his liver, and his "Platinum Star" seemed to be a bit useless at the moment.

This is the sore spot where the stand-in has a range of only two meters.

“……”

Boom Boom!

The incessant sound of bombs exploded in Shirahoshi's ears, pulling his thoughts back.

He let go of Rebecca and climbed out from under the car.

"I'll go down and hold them back, you go first!"

"Are you crazy!" Sasha's voice was incredulous and a little anxious, "Let's not talk about how many of them there are, even if you can really solve them, and then what?" ”

"This is bad ground! You're going to get lost here! ”

Shirahoshi didn't reply, but took a deep breath and opened the car door.

Just as he was about to jump, the mutation abruptly happened again!

In the distance, a car suddenly took off, this is a physical take-off, a sudden explosion under the chassis pushed it high, crossed the arc, smashed on another car in his own house, after two huge explosions, one after another.

What's the situation?

Shirahoshi looked at this unexpected scene and stood beside the car in a daze, with one hand on the open door.

"Boy!"

A familiar voice came from behind, and Shirahoshi looked fixedly, and a familiar SUV followed them at some point.

Pila was halfway out of the skylight, carrying a bazooka on her shoulder, wisps of green smoke from the mouth of the cannon.

The car soon caught up with them, the window rolled down, and Mann, who was wearing sunglasses, put his hand on the window and smiled:

"Put away your lone wolf mentality, you have a team now."

"Mann! Why are you here?! Rebecca climbed onto Shirahoshi's back and said in surprise.

"Qi Wei hacked the brain of the leader of the Six Street Gang who was chasing us, and found some information inside, so we thought that you might be ambushed, so we hurried over."

"I guess you know that, right?" A sneer tugged at the corners of Mann's mouth, "Someone sold our information. ”

He took out a shotgun from under his seat and tossed it to Rebecca, who took the gun and said as she loaded it, "But we still don't have enough of us!" There are so many damn nocturnal ghosts! ”

"Hold on a little longer, and I'll call another wave of reinforcements, and Adecador's men will be there soon."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Adricado's convoy to appear in the eyes of everyone present.

"It's Adicado's people!"

In the night wandering ghost camp, everyone's faces changed, and the leader of the team who led the operation could only reluctantly order: "We retreat!" ”

Shirahoshi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, this journey of twists and turns is finally coming to an end!

Adcardo's car surrounded the crowd, and the wanderers got out of the car, and suddenly a small lane was awayed in the crowd, and a man walked out.

"You're Mann?" The man looked Mann up and down.

"I am, who are you?"

"Saul Bright, leader of Adicado." He stepped forward again.

"Now that the crisis is over, let's hand over the goods to us."

"Thor, huh? We'll talk about the goods later, but we haven't calculated the accounts yet? ”

Thor frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, it's just that this commission, isn't it a little more?"

"Do you want to sit on the ground and start the price? It's not a good idea, unless you don't want to do it anymore! ”

"I want to sit on the ground and start the price? Looks like your people didn't follow the rules first, right? Men said stiffly, "Qi Wei, send him that thing!" ”

Qi Wei did as she was told.

Mann looked at Thor, whose expression was gradually deteriorating, and sneered, "This one is called Balek Maiti, is it your man?" Colluding with the Night Wanderer and betraying our information, you are the first to be unruly! ”

“…… It's really our fault. Thor took a few deep breaths, "But that's not what we Adcardo intended, you have to believe it-"

"No more nonsense! If we want to double it, let's ask if you give it or not! ”

Thor's face was cloudy, it was true that Adicado was in a difficult time now, and this shipment contained important information about the company, as long as everything went well, he could use this information to get on the company's thighs, thus saving Adicado from fire and water.

But now it is really difficult for him to come up with double the commission this time.
