Chapter 272 Second Red Sun

"Hello everyone! I am your old friend Stan! If you can still listen to my radio now, it proves that we are all still alive!

What could be more important than this?

As citizens of Night City, you can honorably call yourselves nuke bombers from now on. How does it feel to miss nuclear explosions twice in a row in your lifetime?

The good news is that the death toll this time is much lower than the last time. Apparently the residents of Night City already have rich experience in preparing for such accidents!

The bad news is that no one guessed the last issue of the Dead Man Lotto. The huge bonus will be eaten up by the dealer, making a lot of money, and even having spare money to pay bonuses to the security guards at the door!

The share price of the poor Colin Ning Group has fallen below the original issue price at 10 o'clock this morning. Of course, I guess you don't care about this at all, because everyone who cares about it has jumped off the rooftop now, haha, I hope they don't

Hit someone!

Residents of Night City, please pay more attention when you go out on the streets. In addition to taking more vaping, you also need to be careful of the rain in some areas today!

Now that we are talking about radixamine, Stan wants to tell you some good news. Knight's shopping mall is conducting a big promotion of radixamine. Any citizen in need can quickly make an appointment through email and order the quantity you need!

Of course, there are also rumors that the Valentino Gang has a considerable supply of anti-radiation products. Those brave people who are not afraid of being robbed can consider..."

Night City, which experienced the second Red Sun Incident, performed very smoothly. Neither the people nor the city's top officials fell into panic like last time.

Of course, this is just Night City's own feeling. As the only city in the world that was hit by two nuclear strikes in a short period of time but still stood firm, the whole world looked at Night City with suspicion.

On the night of the Second Red Sun, the city was reminiscent of the Paris where the king was guillotined. Angry citizens took to the streets armed with weapons and attacked the culprits they imagined.

The first to be hit were those superhuman teams that were usually relatively high-profile and aroused public outrage. The angry citizens of Night City and the superhumans fought a real war on the streets, which was so intense that even street gangs shunned it.

Hundreds of metahumans lay dead on the streets, and most of them had never even seen Lotus.

And to be fair, because of Tang Ji's existence, these superhumans hanging out in Night City have paid great attention to their daily words and deeds. The problems of superhumans in most other cities are far more than this.

Perhaps in order to restore his declining turnout, or perhaps to portray himself as a fearless person, when communications were cut off, Mayor Luther wore a body armor and a private security team, drove a car, and braved nuclear radiation.

Rushing from one area to another.

While he appealed to citizens to remain calm, he restored chaotic municipal institutions and put law enforcement agencies and firefighting systems back under unified command.

Tang Ji even saw him going deep into the city center and asking the Corinning Company's clean-up team to start work immediately. He also planned to requisition the Corinin Company's stock of radiation eliminators, but unfortunately the Valentino Gang got there first and had already emptied them out. Those warehouses.

Luther worked hard to put on a show and gained a lot. As the mushroom cloud of the second red sun gradually dissipated, he was affectionately called 'our mayor' by the citizens of Night City, and his approval rate broke the highest record in history.

This also led to some people even hyping up the public opinion that the nuclear bomb was deliberately planted by Luther in order to save his political career.

Luther didn't bother to comment on this. He had already won the pot, and arguing with those villains was a sign of self-degradation.

Moreover, he would be deceiving himself too much by insisting that the nuclear bomb had nothing to do with him. Someone had indeed warned him in advance, and he even knew that the nuclear bomb was a means used by some people to blackmail the Night City legend.

It's a pity that the man obviously didn't accept this trick. Luther planned to carry this matter into his stomach and take it to his grave. He didn't want to be driving on the road one day and be suddenly hit and killed by a passing 'pedestrian'.

"The Walter Group has just contacted us, hoping to take over the job of Corinning Company to clean up the ruins in the central area." Luther's secretary Eve handed Luther a somewhat premature message.

Although Colinin Company suffered a big fall, it is not yet bankrupt. Now there are competitors applying to replace them, which is a bit too confident.

Luther is still waiting for a reply from Corinning Company, and it will be up to them to decide whether to continue the previously signed contract. After all, the small probability of being hit by another nuclear strike can only be considered bad luck for them.

Because the original land sale was thorough enough, and the ownership of various infrastructures, attached buildings, toll collection rights, etc. were all sold to the Korining Company, so the City Hall settled the accounts. This time, it was attacked by a terrorist attack. Night City There was almost no financial impact.

Luther opened a bottle of champagne in a great mood, sat on his luxurious sofa, looked out the window at the Night City, and was full of expectations for the future.

With the occurrence of the Second Red Sun incident, Luther's new media image will surely spread, and it is almost foreseeable that the overall support rate will rise sharply.

He felt that he was very lucky because the spontaneous demonstration by the citizens of Night City ended at the right time. They did not expand the riot and chose to go home before everything was irreversible.

Luther originally thought that the superhumans and mortals who died on the street would use their corpses to cast a new business card for Night City. He savored the aroma of the champagne, narrowed his eyes, and only one word remained in his mind: luck.

And out of sight of Luthor, Tang Ji had just calmed down the wave of anger intertwined with new and old hatreds, or should be said to have been put on hold for the time being.

The city's anger needs a clear and correct target. If Tang Ji does not restrain it, it will be pointlessly vented on all superhuman beings.

Different from the time in Paris, this time the anger of all beings provided by Night City was so majestic that after Tang Ji 'took away' that extra anger, he was in a state of excitement.

The inexplicable impulse kept trying to trick him into venting, venting, and destroying for Angelina, Tang Anran, and everything he had lost.

Tang Ji locked himself in a shopping mall in Taiping Prefecture that was closed down by its developer before it even opened. As a new development zone, Taiping Prefecture's most indispensable thing is all kinds of unfinished buildings.

In the Great Empire Mall, Tang Ji remembered that there seemed to be such a name hanging on the door. A small and unpopular gang occupied this place, but they were scared away when Tang Ji came in.

At this time, Tang Ji was indeed very frightening. The skyrocketing flames of hatred surrounded him, covering an area of ​​nearly 100 meters nearby.

Before he entered the mall, the flames of hatred had already poured into the mall gate. Several street warriors on guard were looking at the mushroom cloud in the distance. When they saw Tang Ji, one of them knelt on the ground with weak legs and kept kowtowing to Tang Ji.

The entire shopping mall has a circular structure, which shows how ambitious the original investors were. Unfortunately, it has now become a garbage dump.

With great willpower, Tang Ji restrained his intention to catch up with and kill the group of street fighters. He sat cross-legged in the center of the building and tried to calm down.

At the same time, we are waiting for Wang Zhengdao to bring over the superhuman that Tang Ji brought back from the Neon Body Warehouse. The old man with the ability of "The Way of Tranquility" was thawed by Wu Qianying in the name of research a few weeks ago.

Ryunosuke Motoki has a very good mentality and takes his situation calmly. He just pretends that he is traveling abroad and idles on the Moonlight Gold every day. He also tried to activate the sex doll on the ship twice and was ordered by Foreman.

Got an eviction order.

Of course, the impact of the Second Red Sun Incident on the outside world is rapidly growing. Night City, which suffered two consecutive nuclear weapons attacks, and Paris, which just suffered a terrorist attack not long ago, have made everyone realize how big the world is now.

Danger.

As the stock price of the poor Corrining Company plummeted, Hyperion Group, which owns advanced radar technology, suddenly saw a sharp increase in its stock price due to one of its concept products.

Neutron beam radar can detect dangerous weapons with reflective elements such as nuclear bombs by releasing a directional neutron beam to penetrate high-density materials and generate gamma ray bursts.

Eight hours after the second red sun event, eighteen sets of this neutron beam radar, which was originally only used as a technical reserve, were sold, and the price soared from the initial 150 million federal coins to 500 million federal coins.

In the latest news released by Hyperion Group, it has been officially announced that the inventory is zero, and the remaining three radar systems are only for rental, and the rental order has been dispatched two years later.

In addition, the attack against superhumans that broke out in Night City last night also became a hot topic. For a time, it was regarded as a holy place by many superhumans as 'Jerusalem', and it has a tendency to become the center of anti-superhumanities.

"This is a violation of human rights! There is no evidence that the nuclear explosion that occurred last night is related to metahumans!" A metahuman UP host with more than 500,000 followers publicly criticized the riots in Night City: "Night City

The superhumans in the city must unite to resist this atrocity!"

"Anyone with conscience should oppose this unprovoked attack. I am ready to go to Night City to save my brothers and sisters. I will broadcast the entire journey live. Please wish me good luck." Another.

The superhuman UP owner, who has just over 10,000 fans, said that he would practice it personally.

Although someone reminded him in the comments of the video that it was Enforcer Tang's territory, he still planned to give it a try for the sake of the number of fans.

"How come no one mentioned that Losas was responsible for the first Red Sun Incident? Now that it has happened for the second time, the residents of Night City believe that it was a superhuman being who did it. This is based on facts!"

"This is the theory of original sin and cannot be generalized!"

"Death to metahumans!"

"Night City deserves it!"

...

There was a commotion on the Internet, but the popularity of the Seven Virtues was not suppressed according to Cathy's orders.

Indeed, almost all video sources were deleted, and users who had saved them offline could only watch their storage hardware suddenly fail after their devices were reconnected to the Internet.

But there are still a large number of netizens actively discussing the grievances between Tang Ji and the Seven Virtues team. Most of these people are fans or haters of Tang Ji.

After they discovered that someone was secretly suppressing the situation and deleting video evidence, they immediately became more fanatical to fight against it.

The few videos that were saved on offline devices were carefully preserved by these netizens as evidence, and were copied and spread offline through person-to-person communication.

And soon some people connected the conflict that occurred in Jinshan City with the Second Red Sun Incident in Night City.

"Is there a possibility that the Seven Virtues are another vest of Losas? As we all know, Law Enforcer Tang has always regarded Losas as his mortal enemy. There is almost no connection between the Seven Virtues, but he chases and attacks the Seven Virtues team for thousands of miles.

..”

"I have an uncle who works as a law enforcer in Jinshan City. He witnessed the scene with his own eyes. The Seven Virtues team showed the same thing as the portal that Losas used in Paris more than once. After the live broadcast was interrupted, there was a large-scale super

The scene of human parachuting is simply the second in Paris!"

"If the Seven Virtues are Losas' new vest, then wouldn't the Walter Group behind it..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Walter Group and W Palace are now working in the same building. You can judge the background..."

"We need to strengthen cooperation with the federal government." The legendary company was holding a board meeting. The directors, composed of a small number of pioneers and naturalized people, were looking at the new plan proposed by Cathy Walter.

Walter's innovative medical system, a bold plan that was originally shelved indefinitely, is now being taken forward.

This plan has actually existed much longer than the Walter Group. This plan was first proposed by Aslan during the Byrons Pharmaceutical era.

The core of this plan is to use gluttonous flesh and blood tissue as raw materials to create a panacea for trauma. It can directly heal minor trauma through injection and heal skin wounds caused by third-degree burns and below.

But this plan was ultimately replaced by a more conservative plan because it would greatly offset the advantages the Blazers had.

Now, Cathy Walter has taken out this plan and put it on everyone's table. Some senior naturalized people even remember the last time they attended a meeting to discuss this plan.

Although this drug, which is finished as an injection, has a one-thousandth chance of causing cancer, its impact on the entire medical world is definitely comparable to the birth of penicillin.

Humanity has never mastered such a powerful therapeutic agent. If the dose is large enough, it can even regenerate a person's severed limbs.

Of course, in order to limit its efficacy, the plan also clearly requires the addition of a large number of inhibitors to the ingredients to ensure that it does not break through the boundaries of science and develop from a magical perspective.

"We need a real core product to become a company that cannot fail like military technology." Cathy Walter looked at the board members present, among whom Kacalf was sitting first on her right: "If we can't do anything to Tang Ji,

In situations where strategic deterrence is created, we must ensure that the federal government is on our side."

Of course, Cathy noticed that many naturalized people had expressions of astonishment and disbelief on their faces. Although these old and young foxes immediately concealed their expressions, when the pioneers officially admitted that they could not control someone like them,

The impact on the indigenous people is self-evident.

Fortunately, the naturalized people sitting here today are all high-level naturalized people who have broken away from low-level worship and are tied to this camp by interests.

After decades of contact, many of them have realized that these pioneers are not as powerful as they imagined, but they still choose to stand firmly on the side of the pioneers for the sake of their family interests.

This is also the reason why they wanted to break away from these naturalized people before returning. They lacked respect for the players and instead acted in vain.

This is obviously not the mask that the pioneers want to show to the first batch of players entering the world. At least in the short term, they plan to rely on the majesty of the forerunners to restrain the players' behavior.

But now all plans have come to nothing. The first thing Cathy has to do is to ensure that the Blazers group can persist until the first batch of testers enter the game, so that they can share the firepower.

As for whether the world will be fully open in the future? That is no longer something Cathy Walter can predict.
