The blockade line in the northern district of Watson, the NCPD, as always, has been notified to set up a blockade here, and heavy armored vehicles and police drone armor have been put in place.

But they were not notified to come in.

If nothing else, the Terrorist Task Force will step in immediately, and when they deal with the most threatening guys, the NCPD will come in and finish the game.

River stood in front of the car, and his rank had been folded, and he was promoted from detective to sergeant.

Although the process is a bit tortuous, throughout the whole process, River as a police detective tracks down the Tiger Claw gang criminal gang, takes out the heavyweight leader Shoro Shotoro, and the whole incident also involves a lot of corruption in the bureau.

This means that he is not like participating in these struggles, otherwise he gritted his teeth and took out half a year's salary and then borrowed some money to visit the director, and it was more than enough for Rocket to be promoted to police commissioner.

Because of this, his old partner Lao Han is sighing in the car at this moment--

The rank of police officer is only a small promotion, and there is almost no change in the position.

"Alas, it's all because of someone's wooden head, the best opportunity is missed!

Now, guard the Vortex Gang shootout. Oh no, it's an artillery battle now, pity my old arms and legs, don't be killed by stray bullets"

River clasped his hands and said helplessly, "Can you be serious, how long have you been talking about this!" ”

"Don't you talk about it, this time I missed a good opportunity, and I don't know when I will be able to get promoted next time, maybe

It's a bit of a play to catch the lizardmen! But I'm afraid that if you do this, even if you catch the lizardman, you will be promoted to a level and a half! ”

River glanced at Old Han and took two steps forward, further away from the car.

Seeing this, Lao Han's voice became louder, and he continued to read in pieces:

"Alas, there are people who never cherish the opportunity for promotion."

River walked over to the newcomer on duty next to him, and although his position had not changed, the increase in rank had given him a few more men.

Some newcomers.

The newcomer is quite young, fresh out of the police academy, and body armor, brass snake rifles, and police caps are meticulously placed where they should be, just like their meticulous owners.

Seeing River coming, he immediately put the gun to his side and saluted River.

"Okay, the scene doesn't pay attention to that."

"Yes sir!"

The newcomer held the gun to his chest again, and River looked at him like this, wanting to say something but couldn't—

Especially when he glanced at Lao Han's eyes looking at him: he was like this back then!

Now it seems to be quite stupid.

"Do you smoke?" River pulled out a cigarette case from his pocket, but the newcomer shook his head, "It's good not to smoke, Ermar's name is hard to pronounce."

Was he an investigator before? Take the initiative to relocate? What, it's uncomfortable over there? ”

Elmar's cheerful expression showed some gloom, and he nodded: "This is not allowed to be checked, that is not allowed to be checked, it is better to go to the street to be a patrol officer." ”

River felt more and more that this kid was very similar to himself.

As an investigator, I was not allowed to investigate anything, but in fact, I couldn't do anything when I was transferred to the patrol police.

Most of the time it's just cleaning the battlefield.

So River patted Elmar on the shoulder: "Actually. Our patrol officers are similar, so you'd better be mentally prepared. ”

"But at least it's easier to get the bonus, right? If someone commits a crime, we shoot it. There won't be a leader calling me to stop shooting, right? ”

That's not easy to say, River can only smile wryly.

Elmar didn't notice the reluctance in River's smile, and continued to say excitedly, "And you might be able to see the bullish Mackinou on the street.

Sir, it is rumored in the bureau that you know the mercenaries on the legendary Mackinaw, what are they like? What was going on that night? ”

"If you want me to say, grow up like that!" The old Han in the car shouted loudly, "There are no lizardmen, it is estimated that there will be another Mackinac with ten or eight cars, and you may still have a chance to be promoted!"

But what. Dream on! River! We don't have a chance! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a Mackinaw suddenly turned out at the end of the deserted street.

Mackinac is just a pickup truck product of Thunder Vision, which has been mediocre for so many years, but now it's different.

Especially when the car appears in the most tense and hot areas of Night City

The posture of the policemen who were still waiting for instructions around the cordon line was visibly nervous, and they unconsciously put away their smiles and straightened up.

McKinac had never had a head-on confrontation with the NCPD, but just looking at the car, they could get nervous.

But it's not just one --

One by one, the lights overshadowed the lights on the side of the street, slowly and firmly towards the blockade!

It's a whole fleet!

It's ten Mackinaw!

The headlights overshadowed the lights, but as the headlights drove through the lighting area of the street lights, the lights hit the heavy machine guns on the vehicle, showing the barrel and the body of the gun one by one.

Then there are the graffiti on the body, and the words that are uniformly attached to the graffiti: Adicado.

And, of course, there's the burger sandwich element that appears in abundance, which has been a popular element in Night City lately.

[NCPD Operator: Attention of all units, there is a situation in the area, and some witnesses have reported observing a large number of armed vehicles forming a convoy on the road. 】

[NCPD Operator: Vehicle Model Mackinor Larrymore, Illegal Modification]

[Officer: Target situation updated to 10-23, repeat, target is on the scene, 10-20.] 】

The communication channel fell silent.

"Goo"

Some policemen swallowed and didn't know what to do all of a sudden.

They looked at each other and read similar emotions, shock and confusion, and unease in the eyes of their colleagues.

The air seemed to freeze.

The armored Mackinault at the head slowly stopped in front of the blockade, and River patted the stiff Elmar: "That's pretty much it." ”

With that, he put on his hat and walked towards Mackino.

【Ding Dong--】

[Communication: Burger King]

[Burger King: Sheriff River, haven't been promoted for a few days? ] 】

[River: You shouldn't be here to show off the team, your pass. 】

[Burger King: It should be soon.] 】

【NCPD Police Channel Newsletter】

[NCPD Operator: Attention all officers in the area are aware of further action orders.] 】

[NCPD Operator: Please release the vehicle of the following NCPD outsourced members, vehicle numbers: NC-1102, NC-1277]

River soon received the release notice, and the police officers behind him were also visibly relieved, and their bodies relaxed a little.

He took a few steps back, and the NCPD armored vehicles and mechs waved their hands to the side as he waved.

Wait a minute.

River suddenly saw two tattered Columbus trucks at the end of the convoy, and the bumpers were still crooked.

[River: Why are you still followed by two broken vans?] Is it your people? 】

[Burger King: Yes, the car is a little broken, and the person is not bad. 】

The van slowly drove past River, as it was a normal car, and through the glass, River saw David and Mann inside smiling at him.

The smile was called innocence, and River's dusty memory was suddenly awakened:

This kid seems to have seen it before!

Looks like I've seen it the last time I sealed off the Badlands!

The van drove through the blockade, and River looked at the car, silently remembering the appearance of David and the others.

Tagged as Burger King Brother.

The Mackinac convoy drove through the blockade, and the frozen air began to flow with the traffic.

River turned his head to catch the NCPD watching the McKinaw team into the chaos zone.

I felt ridiculous in my heart: he was the policeman, and now he had to find outsourcing to solve the problem.

What defenders of the Order of Night City, and what exactly did the NCPD defend?

The convoy passed, the blockade was slowly restored, and River didn't want to think about it anymore.

River opened the car door, sat in the car, and laughed at Old Han: "I just counted, a total of fourteen Mackinau." ”

"You" Lao Han held back for a long time, "Awesome! ”

It's a pity, they all know that Mackinac has nothing to do with them this time.

"But it seems that this is the end of the matter, and the terror team is no longer used."

Rumble!

Before the words fell, the fourth giant mushroom cloud rose tonight, illuminating the entire Watson North District!

[NCPD operator: The threat level in the area continues to rise, and the terrorist mobile team has been dispatched!] 】

River suddenly raised his head, and five manticore floats flew through the air!

The Terrorist Mobile Squad has also been dispatched!
