Chapter 43: Uncle and Shota

"Brother Jaime, why do you say the Night Clan wants us to drive their car to make deliveries?"

Halfway through, Shady leaned her head against the car window, looked at the glittering neon lights outside the window, and asked.

"Who knows what medicine is sold in Ye's gourd, we just need to deliver the goods."

Shady turned her head to look at the metal nameplate around Jaime's neck, hesitated and asked:

"Brother Jaime, they say you've been a mercenary before? And slaughtered his boss? ”

"yes, what, are you interested in the glorious past of my middle-aged man?"

Taking advantage of the red light on the road, Jaime pulled out another cigarette and handed it to Shady at the same time.

"Taste? You're getting old, too. ”

Seeing that Shady took the cigarette and choked and coughed, Jaime laughed and said:

"Before the War of Independence, I fantasized about becoming famous with my good buddies, so a few people carried ancestral submachine guns and started working as mercenaries without thinking about it."

"Somehow, the war came all at once, and we weren't in Night City yet."

"I heard that there are people in the Free State who can recruit people who can go to the battlefield, and the pay is quite generous, and the brothers are total, where to fight is not to fight, so I ran to defect."

"Later, I learned that the big financier who recruited us was military technology, and the purpose was to send it to Night City and Arasaka to fight hard, these guys from the company, they only know how to put cold guns in the back, and give us all the work to do the life, what a fucking fuck."

"Later, in a small town outside the city, I saw a military technology officer raping a little girl, and without thinking about it, I pulled out a gun and did it, and slapped the crumbled head."

"I thought this was the end of the matter, but the little girl couldn't stand the threat and confessed to me, but fortunately, there were a few good buddies who barely escaped with their help."

"It's just a pity that there are not many of them left."

Jaime touched the nameplate hanging from his chest, the list of names on it reminded him for a long time.

"Hey, I had such an unforgettable hatred at the beginning, I went crazy in the wasteland and wanted revenge, but in the end I still couldn't do anything to ordinary people, and now after so many years, even if I look at the names of my old friends, I can't remember what they look like."

Tucking the nameplate back into his clothes, Jaime put away his memories, looked at Shady next to him, and asked:

"What about you, little one, how did you join the Spark."

"I'm an orphan, the boss saved me, I thought I could go somewhere else anyway, and Xinghuo is not bad here, and Big Brother Three-Fingered is also very good to me, so I stayed. What about you? ”

After experiencing several red lights in a row, Jaime seemed a little unhappy, so now he didn't look at any red lights or red lights, anyway, it wasn't his own car, and he went all the way.

"I used to like to read books, especially old books from hundreds of years ago."

"After so many years in Night City, I have long seen through the virtues of a company, even some gangs that seem to be free, but they are full of the rancid smell of a company."

"But Xinghuo is different, it's so different."

"I don't know any lofty ideals, I just think it's very similar to what I saw in the book, the Tower of Babel that runs through the heavens and the earth, beautiful and dreamy."

"So I willingly fought for it, not for the sake of the two dates in my pocket, but really looking forward to the day when this tower could be suspended in the sky and wipe out the unbeatable company on it."

Xia Di finally finished the cigarette in his hand, wiped a handful of snot and tears, and then said:

"You still say that you don't believe in dreams, and sure enough, the old man's mouth is full of contradictions."

Jaime smiled, didn't speak, and stared at the road in front of him.

"Brother Jaime, the destination of this mission is Dance of Death, which is the territory of the Vortex Gang."

"Yes, it's just those crazy people who don't want to die, half-human and half-ghost who have transformed themselves, such a big lump of metal lumps on their faces, and they are not allowed to use anesthetics, I think they are even more crazy than crazy games."

"yes, that's a bunch of lunatics, a bunch of damn lunatics......"

Shady stared at the streets of Night City, and although the night was cold, there were still people sleeping in tents in the corners, out of place with the skyscrapers in the distance.

"My parents died at the hands of those madmen." Xia Di said faintly.

"Boy, are you trying to ......?"

Jaime held the steering wheel and looked at Shady suspiciously.

"Don't worry, big brother Jaime, I have a sense of proportion, and I won't mess around during the mission."

"Can you tell me? It's still a moment away from the destination. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, my parents are big idiots, attracted by the Vortex Gang's exaggerated membership propaganda, and finally collapsed on the operating table at that beginning."

"Condolences."

"Actually, I know what they think, doing the hardest work all day long, receiving the most meager salary, but fantasizing that this place can bring me the best future, so I dragged my family to Night City."

"In the process of being bullied by the gang again and again, they chose to compromise with the gang, and I became an orphan."

"But at least this gives me one more goal for the rest of my life, which is to blow up those dog crumbs into the sky!"

Shadimo rubbed the "Three Thousand 2.0 for your life" in his hand, and the eyes of Jaime next to him suddenly became a little strange.

"Actually, I can help you, but after the task is handed over."

"I understand, Brother Jaime, Brother Three-Fingered, they have worked hard for this name of the Night's Watch who has completed the task 100% for a long time, and they can't be ruined in my hands."

"Yes, I still have to admire the boss's mind, outsiders still think that the 'night watchman' is a lone wolf, who knows that this is a vest, when the mission is made, everyone is swarming on the ground."

Jaime sighed as he watched as Shady climbed into the back seat, opened the window connected to the warehouse, and eagerly wanted to enter.

"Boy, this isn't our car, be careful that the company's people have set up surveillance here, they often do this kind of thing."

"It's okay, look at what this is?"

Shady took out a black device from her bosom and pressed it a few times.

"This is the shield that the boss used before, it seems to be very powerful, I asked for it from the three-fingered brother."

"When they asked, they said that they had encountered a gang fire on the way, and they were affected by their blocking signal, and I will go! Such a big mecha! ”

Shady had already entered the hold, and all Jaime heard was a clanging sound coming from inside, and when he came out again, the 3,000 bombs in his hand that cost you three thousand lives were gone.

"Be careful, we're almost there."

Jaime was also in good spirits at this point, and the Dance of Death Bar was not far away.

But the closer you get to your destination, the more you can hear the sound of guns firing.

Jaime and Shady looked at each other, both puzzled in their eyes.

"Slow down and get closer, Brother Jaime, I feel like there's a war going on up ahead."

"It's not like, it's someone fighting, and now there's no need to make it up, we did run into a gang fire."

"It's fucking infighting......"

Jaime sighed and watched with mixed eyes as the two Vortex Gang members shot at each other in front of the door.
