If we calculate the time, the groundhog contacted Jack at half past five this morning.
Compared with yesterday's performance, the other party was too proactive, so Peacock and the others were uneasy.
"We still have to go, and we have to do it as soon as possible."
Glancing at Morty who was still dreaming, Peacock spoke his opinion softly. After hearing this, the other two could only nod in agreement.
For the current Peacocks, Miss Morty is really a hot deal.
They could neither leave the girl alone nor take her with them any longer.
They didn't even dare to contact Meredith again, so the only way was to bite the bullet and keep going.
According to the previous division of labor, Wei disappeared again. Jack drove Peacock and Morty to meet the country mouse.
"No, no, absolutely not!"
When he saw the groundhog, he shook his head and rejected Jack's request.
Of course, the place where they meet now is not the secret passage. According to the previous agreement, only Marmot and Morty can go to the secret passage.
It was also because of this that when Jack proposed that they accompany Morty to the secret passage, Marmot refused on the spot, leaving no room for negotiation.
His attitude is actually quite understandable: for smugglers like them, the location of the secret passage is the biggest trade secret.
Only by mastering the secret passage can a smuggler make a steady stream of money. If he revealed the location of the secret passage today, it would be like destroying his job.
The groundhog was so determined, but the peacock refused to give in.
If everything went well before, Peacock wouldn't be troublesome at this time. But after so many things happened, he really didn't dare to hand Morty over to this person.
"No! I have to see you send her into the secret passage, otherwise the deal won't be over.
If you don't agree, I can only take her away. As for whether you can work with Meredith, that's not my business."
In order to subdue the groundhog, the peacock moved Meredith out.
According to the rules of the river and lake, the smuggler can only get half of the money at most before the task is completed.
If he didn't agree to compromise, he would never get the other half of the reward. In addition to losing money, he would also have to face Meredith's wrath.
After some hard negotiations, the prairie dog finally gave in.
He agreed to let Peacock accompany Morty, but after getting in the car, Peacock had to put on a hood and earplugs, and he also had to turn off his bracelet and hand over other electronic devices.
This was a harsh request, but Peacock readily agreed.
After patting Jack on the shoulder, Peacock climbed into the other person's car. He put on the thick and heavy hood without even having to be greeted by the other person.
The car carrying Morty and Peacock set off on the road. Probably to lighten the atmosphere, the groundhog kept looking for something to talk to, so Peacock started chatting with him.
Of all the topics, the peacock was the most interested in life in the bad land. The woodchuck answered all the questions he asked.
During such small talk, the car drove for 40 minutes. When the man finally slowed down, it was already completely bright.
"Okay, we'll be there soon."
As soon as the groundhog finished saying this, the peacock took off his hood. Before the groundhog could get angry, he asked a strange question.
"Actually, you've never been in the Badlands at all, right?"
When the peacock asked this question, the groundhog immediately forgot to scold the peacock for taking off his hood.
Although he was still smiling at this time, his smile was already very stiff.
"Are you crazy? Of course I go to Badland often, how could I never stay there."
"Really? I just asked you so many details about life outside, but you didn't answer a few of them correctly.
Mr. Woodchuck, if you only knew the specious knowledge, it would be a miracle that you could survive until now.
Since you have never really lived in the bad land, I guess you are not actually a smuggler, right?"
"I'm not a smuggler? Haha! I'm not a smuggler, so what do I do? Do you have a brain problem?"
When the peacock directly punctured the window paper, the groundhog laughed even louder.
Just when he was laughing so hard that he was out of breath, the man's hand suddenly left the steering wheel and grabbed the peacock with lightning speed.
"ah!"
Amidst Miss Morty's screams, the peacock leaned back to avoid the opponent's grasping hand.
At the same time, the Prelude on Peacock's waist had already been unsheathed. He didn't even need to raise his gun to aim, he just shot the opponent in the face.
At this critical moment, the prairie dog showed amazing reaction speed. He knew that he could not outrun the bullet, so he immediately raised his left hand to protect his head and face.
44-caliber bullet penetrated the groundhog's palm, and then exited from behind the man's elbow.
Seeing the opponent's arm being twisted to pieces, Peacock was immediately convinced. However, he soon discovered that his thoughts were too beautiful.
Although he suffered such a serious injury, it hardly affected the groundhog's fighting ability.
The guy continued to lash out with that tattered arm, as if that's what his hand was made for.
"You fucking chip freaks!"
Seeing the electric sparks flashing faintly at the other party's wound, the peacock couldn't help but curse, but the woodchuck burst into laughter.
Unable to kill this guy with one shot, Peacock immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Before attacking Peacock, Marmot changed the driving mode to fully automatic. So now he can completely ignore the car and focus on fighting.
Trapped in such a narrow car, the opponent was a new human being who knew no pain and was extremely strong. He didn't last long before Peacock was choked by his neck and the hand holding the gun.
The battle between the peacock and the prairie dog broke out in an instant. When Miss Morty in the back seat realized what she was doing, the peacock was already blushing and having a thick neck.
Looking at Mr. Courier, whose whole face was pressed against the car window, Morty cried while grabbing the groundhog's arm, trying to help the peacock.
With her strength, this was like a small tree shaking a tree. The woodchuck just shook its arms, and Morty was thrown into the back seat and couldn't get up for a long time.
Just when the woodchuck was about to twist the enemy's neck with more force, Morty finally stood up.
At this moment of life and death, she bit her lip without crying or fussing, and took out a women's defense pistol from her bag.
"boom!"
When the two big men in front of her didn't notice her, Morty fired.
Because I closed my eyes first and then pulled the trigger, the bullet flew diagonally toward the driver's seat, still far away from the groundhog.
Even so, the groundhog was startled. He instinctively looked at the back seat and relaxed his grip on the peacock slightly.
Just such a slight slack was immediately caught by the peacock.
He completed the adjustment of the prelude muzzle by feeling, and then pulled the trigger.
When the prairie dog sensed the danger, it was too late. The bullet had already whizzed over and accurately shot into his eye socket.
The moment he was shot, the marmot jumped up and then fell against the car door on his side, causing the glass there to be stained with large amounts of blood.
"Good girl! Well done! Miss Morty, I'm fine, please sit down quickly!"
While breathing heavily, Peacock comforted the frightened and frightened Morty.
After letting Morty return to his original position, Peacock pulled the deceased away from the driver's seat, and then went to twist the steering wheel of the car.
"Damn it! I can't stop!"
After a quick check of the vehicle's condition, Peacock's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
During the fierce battle between the peacock and the prairie dog, the car never stopped and kept moving forward according to the set navigation position.
Now although Peacock has killed the groundhog, he still cannot control the car.
I don’t know how the marmot did it, but the trip computer is now completely locked. No matter what button he presses, there is no response.
Not only that, Peacock soon discovered that even the physical buttons on the car were now useless.
He couldn't open the car door or even lower the window. He and Morty were trapped in this small cage, heading where others wanted them to go.
"Morty, cover your ears and hide in the corner!"
After telling Morty to hide quickly, Peacock replaced the prelude with a new bullet nest.
"I hate electric cars! I especially hate smart electric cars like yours!"
While cursing like this, Peacock stabbed and shot at the dashboard in front of him.
Whether this will be useful, Peacock has no idea.
However, since this car is considered a machine, it must also follow the principle of miracles with great force, so Peacock can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
After being shot six times by Peacock, the electric car that had been running wildly suddenly lost power.
When it finally slid to a stop, the peacock immediately kicked open the car door, pulled Morty and jumped out.
"What? This is almost to the base of the city wall?!"
When they saw the high gray wall not far ahead, the peacock immediately realized where they were.
As the brightest pearl of human civilization after the nuclear war, Night City has a city wall that can be called a world miracle.
This super-large man-made structure known as the Wall of Sighs has an average height of 22 meters, with the widest point on the wall being 12 meters and the narrowest point being 4 meters.
A wall with a total length of more than 50 kilometers wraps the entire west and east sides of Night City, completely isolating this shining pearl from the outside world of Badlands.
It is said that the original intention of building this wall was to protect against gangs who coveted the city's wealth, as well as the mutant biomes wandering in the bad land.
As long as necessary, the City Self-Defense Forces of Night City can immediately climb the city wall to participate in the battle.
If the situation is urgent, the big companies in the city will also send private soldiers to help Night City tide over the difficulties.
Five years ago, there was a group of sand bandits with as many as 50,000 people in the bad land. They looted and plundered, and no human settlement escaped their clutches.
It was such an arrogant gang that failed in the City of Night that year.
Because they were unable to break through the city wall, the sand bandits could only flee wailing. After that, the city wall was nicknamed the Wall of Sighs.
During non-war times, there are not self-defense forces everywhere on the Wall of Sighs, at least not on this section of the wall nearby.
"This is really a good place..."
Looking at the impossible-to-climb city wall, the peacock couldn't help but sigh.
Although he killed the groundhog, he failed to change his and Morty's fate.
No matter who that prairie dog was working for, that guy's mission was to get them into this trap.
Peacock had no doubt about this. As soon as they got off the bus, Peacock saw billowing smoke and dust in three directions except the Wall of Sighs.
Such a movement would require at least 5 or more vehicles, so he and Morty were already surrounded by more than 15 enemy vehicles.
"Don't be afraid, Miss Morty, we still have reinforcements."
Patting Morty, who was about to cry, Peacock forced himself to smile.
After killing the groundhog, Peacock tried to contact Jack and Victoria.
At that time, he discovered that his bracelet had no signal at all. No matter what he tried, the result was the same.
The reason why this situation occurs is definitely not because Peacock is in arrears and is down.
Since this was a game deliberately arranged by someone, the other party must be fully prepared. So they used means to cut off the communication in this area in an attempt to completely isolate Peacock and Morty.
When discussing with Wei, they had imagined similar extreme situations, so Peacock was not stumped.
Unlike city dwellers who cannot do anything without electronic devices, Peacock has always been more willing to believe in the old methods.
Now he has no electromagnetic signal, but he still has flares.
