Chapter 50: The Story in the Carriage

The road to the edge of the city was always bumpy, and Li Ji had to hold on to the handrails on the backrest.

It was an old-fashioned personnel carrier, and the cargo compartment he was in was a double row of seats facing each other.

"Mint-flavored, one?"

Puma took out a delicate tin box from his pocket, opened it and took a photo of a family of three, took one out of it, and handed it to Li Ji.

"Mint? I thought this thing was extinct a long time ago. ”

Li Ji took the cigarette and swept his eyes over the photo, where the woman was smiling happily.

"It must be synthetic!" Puma closed the lid, carefully put the cigarette case back to his chest, saw Li Ji staring at him, and grinned: "Lucky charms, can bring good luck." ”

"Your wife is beautiful, and so are your children."

Puma picked up the sledgehammer at his leg and carved something into it with a knife.

"Of course, it's a pity that they will never hear your praise."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I'm not the only one who lost loved ones in the war."

Li Ji looked at Puma's sledgehammer and asked with some curiosity: "Do you like to use cold weapons?" I thought you were the kind of macho guy with a whole bunch of bullet chains wrapped around and then holding a heavy machine gun to strafe. ”

"You said it a long time ago!"

The veteran sitting across from Li Ji laughed as he carefully wiped his shiny sniper rifle with a handkerchief.

"Ever since one time he fired five minutes straight, and then he didn't hold the guy in his hand, causing a large piece of his chest to be burned by the red barrel of the gun, this guy doesn't need that anymore!"

As he spoke, the man approached Puma's side with a strange smile, and while he was not paying attention, he ripped off the clothes on Puma's chest, and a long scar came into Li Ji's eyes.

"!"

Puma kicked the man and put him back in his seat.

"Get to know, my name is Lao Dao, which means that the bullet is as sharp as a knife, the one you gave Puma today is really exciting, I have wanted to do this for a long time!"

"Li Ji, it looks like you're an excellent sniper."

Puma snorted and put on his armor and carved it back and forth on the hammer.

"Look at your skin, it shouldn't be original, right? Why is this scar still there, designer custom version? ”

Li Ji moved his buttocks, the hard seat and the bumps on the road made his ass suffer a lot.

"Prosthetics have to be a little human, right? I hate to be a steel can that is shiny all over my body, and I don't like to look at any of the stars who are all metal all over, and I don't know how these young people like this. ”

Puma said a little proudly, but the old knife on the other side interjected at this time: "Yes, so every time you look for those little girls, you say that they are left when you duel with people, and then enjoy those adoring eyes, hehe, you are really sassy." ”

"That's better than you, you can entertain yourself with Mewtwo movies all day long!"

Li Ji smiled and watched the two arguing, and the other people around him seemed to have long been used to them, and they all laughed constantly.

"I actually admire you for being able to build an organization like the Six Street Gang in such a chaotic era and bravely challenge the authority of the authorities."

Li Ji said softly, his eyes sincere.

"That's that, don't you know how majestic the brothers were when they followed the black-eyed big brother."

Puma stood beside him with the hammer and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "At that time, the war had just ended, and Night City barely had an NCPD that could manage things, but there were so many ruffians and second-class dealers, who could they scare with a small broken pistol?" ”

"That's why the brothers picked up the guys again, ready to teach the stunned young people who were making trouble in the city a lesson, and told them that Night City won't be their turn to go wild!"

"But after that...... After ......"

Puma's high-pitched voice dropped suddenly, and he picked up the hammer next to him, carving something one by one.

"Times have changed since then, we are all old, we can't fight young people anymore, and we have watched the Six Street Gang go from heroes respected by everyone to a cancer that is spurned by others."

The old knife continued Puma's words.

"Maybe we can't keep up with this era anymore, the dream used to be to protect the city of the night, so that it becomes a prosperous and peaceful super city, where everyone can live a happy life, and now ......"

"Prosperity is prosperity, but you still have to be vigilant when crossing the street, for fear that a bullet will fly on the side of the road and kill you before you even notice it."

"Originally, we were all retired, but the young people in the gang are really not talking, and what they are doing now is what we desperately wanted to eliminate in Night City."

"It's a pity, it's old, it's old......"

Li Ji was speechless, looking at the veterans who were talking and laughing just now, and now they are silently wiping their weapons.

The sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground seemed to be suddenly amplified several times as if in silence.

"Are you about to fall into the ground? I can't wait to miss the glory days? ”

The warrior sitting on the other side of Li Ji sneered and stretched out his palm to Li Ji.

"Crossfire, machine gunner! Under my cover, you can open champagne in the enemy's lair! ”

Li Ji shook hands with him and found that this person's hand strength was not ordinary.

"Fortunately, your ancestors are the aborigines of this place?"

Looking at the other party's sturdy body and shiny black bald head, Li Ji asked in surprise.

"yes, you kid can't have bones? Come to me when you have time, I'll accompany you to practice, don't look at our lack of culture, we are the underground boxing champion of Santo Domingo for three consecutive years! ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Ji was suddenly in awe, this fierce man named Crossfire was definitely a big master.

Before he could say anything, the knife on the other side spoke: "I said a few brothers, it's almost the same chat, how will you do it later?" Do you just rush in to save people? There's got to be a little bit of a plan. ”

"The plan is, rush in, find someone, take someone out, and then leave."

Puma seemed to be finally done with his sledgehammer, and said with a grim face.

"So after you rushed in, you saw a row of heavy machine guns pointed at you, and then the brothers opened champagne in front of your grave to mourn, do you dare to be outrageous?"

The old knife never seemed to forget to sarcastically mock Puma, and said with slanted eyes.

Puma snorted, ignoring the old knife's provocation, and instead put his arms around Li Ji's shoulders.

"You're a hacker, the kind that uses your brain, remember to follow me later, I'm rough and thick-skinned, it doesn't matter if I'm blown up, your small body, I'm afraid I'll be reimbursed for a stray bullet, but it's okay, Uncle will cover you for a while!"

I was underestimated! Li Ji sighed in his heart, and at the same time a faint smile appeared on his face.

"No problem, I'll kill the hackers on the other side too, so they don't turn your eyes off."

"Hey, hey, that's good, hackers are the most annoying, just kill them all!"

Puma gritted his teeth a little, but Li Jiquan didn't see it.

At this moment, on the glass connecting the cockpit and the cargo compartment, Jig Blackeye reached out and pulled the glass open, staring at everyone with a pair of dark eyes.

"It's almost there, the recruits know how to calculate the enemy's location, what are you old bones waiting for?"
