Chapter 6 The handsome knight with black hair and black eyes
Based on his intuition, he discovered that something was wrong with this girl. The fire of her life was already crumbling and might be extinguished at any time.
Just after carrying the girl out of the bathroom, Jack and Wei arrived. After signaling Peacock to stabilize the girl, Wei released the scanning light again.
"Data comparison is in progress: face similarity is 99%, skull similarity is 99%."
After hearing these two 99%, Jack immediately beamed with joy, but Wei looked serious because he also discovered that this girl was about to die.
"Quick! Put her on the table. I want to check the ID chip and access her health monitoring system."
Following Wei's instructions, Peacock quickly laid the girl down. At this time, Wei had turned over her ears, revealing the data interface there.
As soon as he saw the girl's ear, Wei took a deep breath, because there was a gadget plugged into one of the slots.
"what is that?"
Because he had only been in the city for half a month, Peacock didn't know what it was yet. Jack was experienced, so he explained it to Peacock.
"That's a hacking tool that can hijack smart chips. Even though it's so small, it can completely paralyze that little girl.
As long as it is plugged into someone's interface, the virus inside will interfere with the cyber operating system and forcefully seize control of the plug-in.
What’s even more vicious is that this thing cannot be removed directly. If you want to remove it safely, you must use professional tools to crack it.
If she pulls it out rashly, Sandra will become an idiot due to an intracranial short circuit."
While Jack was explaining to Peacock, Vee had already taken action.
He pulled a cable from his left wrist and plugged it into another slot behind Sandra's ear.
"Everyone, I have good news and bad news."
Wei is indeed a professional hacker. As the blue light in his eyes keeps flashing, he has read a lot of information.
Without further whetting the appetite of his companions, Wei revealed his findings before Jack could prompt him.
"First of all, the good news, we found the right person, she is Sandra Dorsett.
Gee, Jack, I can’t believe she’s a platinum member of the trauma team!
The bad news is: she's in terrible condition and she's going to die."
"What? What happened to this little girl?
Isn’t she a platinum member of the trauma team? Now that she’s about to die, why haven’t those legendary angels in white shown up yet?”
Jack's barrage of questions made Wei feel helpless. He continued to work and answered them one by one.
"This girl has been injected with so many happy drugs that her endocrine system has long been paralyzed.
The scavengers obviously knew that too, so they immersed her in ice water.
Only in this way can she hold on a little longer and the Scavengers can cut off her cybernetic bodies while she is still alive."
"Is it okay to immerse her in ice water again? Why didn't the trauma team respond?"
"Definitely not, physical cooling is no longer effective, and her heart is about to explode.
That thing behind Sandra's ear is a late-model millipede, and it's locked out all the communication modules on this chick.
The trauma team never received the distress call, so of course they weren't going to respond."
"Damn! These scavengers deserve to go to hell!
Wei, you are the best combat hacker, you can definitely crack the millipede, right?"
After finally figuring out the situation, Jack became even more anxious.
Neither decoding nor first aid was what he was good at. At this time, Wei had no time to answer him, so Jack could only stare.
"Jack, what's going on with that trauma team?"
When Peacock asked this, he kept moving his hands and continued to massage the girl's arms and palms vigorously.
After learning about the girl's condition, Peacock began to do this. Massaging the Laogong, Neiguan and Quze of the pericardial meridian can relieve the pressure on the heart.
No one taught him this, this was what Peacock knew before he traveled through time, and this is also Peacock’s biggest secret.
Peacock entered the Night City to save talents. He knew very well how weak his power was, so he never missed any opportunity to learn.
Although he didn't know what the peacock was doing, Jack didn't want to ask.
Now Jack also urgently needs to talk to someone, otherwise he will really be suffocated to death by himself.
"Peacock, although the name of Trauma Group is not loud, it is the largest joint auxiliary medical chain enterprise in the world, and its influence is no less than that of any arms oligarch.
This company is composed of medical personnel with professional combat training who provide customers with emergency medical services.
As long as they become their members, customers will be implanted with a biochip that can be used to call for help.
Once the biochip identifies a problem with the client's body, it will proactively notify the trauma team and dispatch an emergency response team.
As promised by the trauma team, their emergency response units will arrive at the scene in no more than seven minutes.
These guys have the best medical equipment and technology in the world, and they can handle it no matter what the situation is.
If it really can't be solved, they also have mobile cryogenic tanks.
That thing was able to reduce a human's body temperature to 24 degrees Fahrenheit in 30 seconds, which was enough to relieve any injuries and give them time to transport the injured.
In addition to members being able to proactively call for help, the trauma team's help chip can also be automatically triggered.
As long as a member's brain waves are found to be abnormal, it will automatically turn on and call the emergency team.
The trauma team is so awesome, as long as they are dispatched, people will almost never die.
But Sandra was unlucky. She was controlled by the hacker tool first, so this girl's life-saving chip was not activated.
Now whether she can survive or not depends entirely on Wei.
Wei is the strongest hacker I know, he can definitely take care of that millipede. Peacock, our work will not be in vain!"
Jack's words successfully aroused everyone's enthusiasm. After about a minute, the combat hacker achieved a breakthrough.
"It's done! Sandra's distress signal has been sent successfully. As long as we hold on for a while, the trauma team will arrive!"
Wei took off the disgusting thing behind the girl's ear and crushed it in front of everyone.
Only then did he notice what Peacock was doing. Although Wei had never seen this kind of first aid technique, Sandra's condition was miraculously maintained.
"Peacock, your method works! Hurry, teach me quickly, and I'll help too."
After realizing the effect of this massage, Wei also joined in. Jack ran outside and waited for the legendary trauma team.
"Coming! Coming! They are coming!"
After five minutes at most, Jack withdrew with a beaming face.
He was forced to retreat because a huge heavy armored aircraft had parked at the edge of the platform.
In the Night City of 2077, there are buildings with hundreds of floors everywhere, and this is also a true reflection of the different treatment of different classes.
Those upper floors must belong to relatively wealthy people. Of course, poor people without money can only live in the lower floors where they rarely see sunlight.
In order to facilitate the travel of residents of different levels, such high-rise apartments will have platforms attached to the outer edge of the building every dozens of floors.
In this way, people who live near the platform can travel nearby, saving everyone from fighting for the elevator.
Such a platform was not prepared for aircraft, but the aircraft outside fell from the sky in an extremely arrogant manner.
At this moment, it was hovering on the edge of the platform, and the air waves emitted by the turbine engine were so strong that no one could stand on the entire platform.
"Jack, Peacock, from now on you all do what I do and never touch weapons!"
Before Wei could finish his instructions, the aircraft turned on its external loudspeaker and started playing the exemption regulations.
"Warning! We are the trauma team emergency response unit, ordered to perform first aid missions.
The irrelevant personnel in front immediately put their heads in their hands and knelt down on the spot!
According to the Unlimited Defense Law of Night City, we reserve the right to fire at any time without any consequences."
Along with this threat, two automatic cannons popped out.
Looking at the red spot on his chest, Peacock felt quite unhappy. But Wei had already knelt down, so he could only do so.
"We are mercenaries who have accepted the commission of tracing the missing persons. Now that the mission is completed, the hostages are officially handed over to the trauma team."
When the people in the aircraft rushed out, Wei, who was kneeling at the front, immediately loudly announced his identity.
Those people turned a deaf ear to Wei's yelling.
Two of their armed guards, armed with assault rifles, separated the three brothers who were kneeling on the ground. Then someone came up, carried Sandra and left.
As soon as the platinum members of the trauma team entered the cabin, the aircraft left immediately.
It shot out blue flames and soared upwards, shattering the windows of countless houses.
"Okay, the task is completed, we can go!"
It wasn't until the aircraft left that Wei signaled everyone to stand up.
The combat hacker might be used to it, so he didn't think anything of it, but Peacock's expression was very stiff.
"Are you okay, Peacock? This is Night City. Sometimes we have to kneel down to earn even the most desperate money."
Patting Peacock's shoulder, Wei signaled him to be more open-minded.
Although this was his first collaboration with Peacock, the boy performed very well, so Wei couldn't help but want to mention Peacock more.
Peacock could feel Wei's kindness to him, so he nodded to express his gratitude.
The peacock was still a wanderer half a month ago, but now he has entered a city.
It is impossible for a wanderer to live the same life as a city dweller. A wanderer can do whatever he wants, but a city dweller does not have much freedom.
Peacock heard this from the veterans of the Motorcycle Brotherhood more than once. Dad Dick and the others were just unwilling to endure such constraints, so they gave up city life.
Dad Dick is a war hero who has won the Medal of Honor. With his qualifications, he is definitely qualified to stay in the city, but he would rather drag his children with him to earn a living in the bad land.
With this emotion, Peacock followed Jack and Wei away. As soon as the three of them left the apartment, Wei received the reward.
As the initiator of the task, Wei immediately allocated the 10,000 yuan without delay.
"Wei, isn't this appropriate?"
When Peacock found out that he actually got one-third of the total, he was surprised.
According to Jianghu rules, Wei who accepts tasks and provides information can get 1/3 first. Even if he divides the remaining 2/3 evenly, it would be very interesting.
"Peacock, just take it, that's what we do.
We all work together and share the money, we are equal brothers, there is no big brother taking the lead here."
Before Wei could say anything, Jack blocked the peacock back, while Wei also looked matter-of-fact and didn't take this kind of thing to heart at all.
The two friends were so open-minded that the peacock shut his mouth.
Peacock feels very lucky to be able to make such friends in Night City.
It's superfluous to say anything now. Peacock knows that doing is far more important than saying.
After distributing the income, the three of them went back to their respective homes.
Today's action made Peacock return with a full load: not only did he earn a quick buck equivalent to one and a half years' salary of an ordinary person, he also brought back an 80% new Defender light machine gun.
According to Jack's estimate, this gun can be sold for 300 to 400 yuan on the black market, but Peacock is still very satisfied because he now has a heavy firepower weapon.
Ever since he fought against the scavenger leader, Peacock realized that it was time to upgrade his weapons.
The .357 caliber revolver was fine in bad soil, but now it is useless.
He needs more powerful weapons because his enemies are more dangerous than the scavenger leader.
Although he had a huge sum of money, Peacock finally bought the second cheapest revolver in the gun store.
This revolver named Prelude is also a gunpowder kinetic energy gun. Its magazine also has 6 rounds, but the caliber has been increased to .44.
Because a large number of polymer parts are used, the Prelude is much lighter than Peacock's old gun.
In addition to this advantage, what makes Peacock most satisfied is that he can easily buy a variety of special bullets suitable for the prelude.
Pointed armor-piercing bullets, explosive bombs, round-nose bullets, incendiary bombs, electric shock bombs... When Peacock discovered that he had so many choices, he seemed to have seen the toy he had dreamed of for a long time.
For the next two days, Peacock continued to be his courier.
The only difference from before was that his daily gun practice time was increased by half an hour, and this was also to get familiar with Prelude's new gun as soon as possible.
At noon on the third day, Peacock received a call from Wei.
"Peacock, where are you? Are you free?"
"I can come over anytime I'm free."
"Peacock, there is still a sequel to the scavenger incident, and I would like to ask you to deal with it."
"No problem, what do you need me to do?"
"It's very simple. This time there is no need to use a knife or a gun. I need you to meet someone. Do you remember that bald girl, right?"
"Sandra Dorset?"
"Yes! The trauma team is awesome. Even though she was like that, they still saved her.
This made the little girl’s father extremely happy, so he sent a message through an intermediary and wanted to thank the warriors who rescued his daughter in person.”
"Isn't this appropriate?"
"Haha, Peacock, that girl has been clamoring to see the handsome knight with black hair and black eyes. What she wants to see is not me and Jack.
Besides, it's not convenient for me to meet her father, so you have to go this time."
