The next day, the sun was shining brightly in Taipingzhou.
The majestic but dilapidated unfinished buildings, the white smoke from burning garbage floating in the sky, the chaotic and cluttered roads, and rows of dirty tents and dilapidated shanties under the overpass...
Everything is like a remnant left after prosperity. High technology and primitive ecology blend together to form this chaotic place.
Although Lin Mo had previously cleared out all the high-level Voodoo Gang hackers who occupied this area, since the lower-level gang members and middle-level operators did not suffer much loss, this area is still under the jurisdiction of the Voodoo Gang.
Inside.
However, the loss of the high-level hacker team was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Voodoo Gang, and they also lost their livelihood.
——Internet extortion, Internet fraud, information theft... These are ways to make huge profits in the online world. After losing a large number of top hackers, these income sources have been greatly reduced.
The final result is that it begins to affect the financial operations within the gang, causing the gang's influence to be less than before and its threat to be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, most of the residents in this area are Haitians, and the Voodoo Gang, whose members are almost all Haitians, also firmly controls the "control" of this area.
“It seems like there’s not much to see in this shabby place. Isn’t it just an enclave that has been abandoned by the government? There are burning garbage and debris everywhere... We can’t enter the Haitian residential community, V
, you brought me here because you were too busy?"
Taipingzhou, on the road next to the Haitian residential community.
A beautiful-looking second-hand car was parked on the side of the road, and the man in the passenger seat was chattering away at the woman next to him.
After enduring it for a long time, V finally decided not to coddle this annoying guy anymore, raised his arm and hit the steering wheel hard, and the vehicle suddenly made a high-pitched horn sound.
V pointed her finger at Johnny. The color of her nails was attractive, but it could not hide her coal-black face at the moment:
"Otherwise, with this face, this pair of sunglasses, and your silver arms, wouldn't you just go to a busy place like the city center just to deliver performance to the NCPD?"
Johnny raised his eyebrows, but was not intimidated by V's words and actions. Instead, he crossed his legs with interest and said in a calm tone:
"Hey, you have quite a temper. This is how you treat your employer when doing your daily tasks."
V smiled slightly, like a witch deceiving an ignorant child:
"Sorry, you are not my employer, Lin Mo is. You are just my mission target now, and I have done many similar jobs. Once, I even stuffed a fainted person into the trunk of the car and escorted him all the way to the destination.
, since he has fainted, he will not complain to me afterwards."
"Everyone praises me for my efficiency in doing things, because I can complete tasks in the simplest and most direct way. Now Lin Mo just asked me to protect you, not to be your tour guide."
Johnny ignored V's complaints and took out a cigarette from his pocket leisurely.
"Do you mind if I smoke one?" he asked V.
"I'd like to introduce you!" V raised his voice and spoke word by word.
"Hey, it seems I have to smoke now." Johnny nodded with satisfaction, then took out his lighter and slowly lit the cigarette.
The corner of V's mouth twitched a few times, and he kept comforting himself in his heart that adults don't remember the faults of villains, and there is no need to argue with such a rotten person. On the other hand, he opened the car window to let the smell of cigarette smoke float outside the window.
Except for a few limited places in Taipingzhou, there are basically no people on the main roads or other deserted areas.
Their vehicle had been parked on the side of the road for a while, and only a few cars had passed by the side of the road in such a long time.
This is also the reason why V chose to bring Johnny to Taipingzhou on the first day. There are fewer people and less trouble, and he will not be searched by the NCPD. It can be said to be a very safe "hanging place" for Johnny.
"After you finish smoking that thing, where should we go next?" V opened the window on his side, put his little head out, and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside.
However, even though she thought so, she still forgot that Taipingzhou was a chaotic and dirty place, and the air here was not very fresh.
After taking this breath of air, she only smelled a "faint" smell of garbage.
"Fuck." V cursed.
"Where else can a bird like this hang out in a place where it doesn't poop?" Johnny sneered and shook his head, having lost interest in exploring this area.
"If you really want to go shopping for a while, there are still many places to choose from." V's eyes shone slightly, he opened the map program software of the processor in his brain, looked at the places he had listed in advance, and said one by one:
"Like an abandoned amusement park on the coast."
"Oh, cheap entertainment facilities from the old era, specially built for the mentally retarded." Johnny shook his head disdainfully, and nodded his head with his finger.
V automatically ignored Johnny's sarcasm and continued to give his opinion:
"How about going to the Haitian residential community? There is a market built by them there. It is one of the few places in this area where there are still people. Maybe we can go shopping there?"
Johnny still looked disdainful, glanced at V, and continued to mock:
"With your IQ and your tiger-headed appearance, you still want to go to Taobao? Thank God if you can't be cheated by a black merchant. But don't worry. Fortunately, I am still here. I will tell you when you are cheated.
To remind you."
"Oh? Yes, then I really thank you." A bright smile appeared at the corner of V's mouth, but his eyes were as cold as ice, and his tone was warm and cold, which made people shudder.
Johnny nodded with satisfaction, showing no intention of getting off the slope.
It's not like he didn't hear V's strange aura, but he didn't mean to be merciful now.
"But...I don't have any money in my pocket right now. Girl, can you lend me a few dollars? When I find some good stuff, I promise I won't treat you badly." Johnny continued.
"Let's go shopping somewhere else." V ignored Johnny's opinion and was too lazy to listen to his continued insistence. He had no intention of obeying him at all.
Want to take money out of her pocket?
There is no door!
She went on to introduce the next location:
"The only other place you can visit is Dog Town, but it is not under the official jurisdiction of Night City. It is almost completely separated from Night City. The local management organization that replaces it is called Nether Dog.
Their leader is called Hansen..."
However, before he finished speaking, Johnny suddenly interrupted:
"Wait a minute, V, I feel something is wrong."
V frowned slightly, thinking that Johnny was doing something wrong again. He just raised his head and wanted to ask, but suddenly saw a group of people walking silently towards their car from the car window.
