Xiao Wu watched the young man back the car out of the moving carriage, and after a few bumps, he gradually moved away from the convoy.
"Let me tell you, this guy's driving skills are pretty good."
She muttered something and pressed the switch to raise the rear door fender.
"Huh~ Isn't it time to break us up now?"
"Well, are you ready?"
A female technician with a mohawk stood up, and the two additional robotic arms behind her were folded together like wings.
"Does it come naturally to you too?"
Xiao Wu tilted her head and asked.
"Of course, everyone in this caravan can do it naturally, but this is just one of our identities."
"Then why do you look like this? Your hairstyle doesn't match your face! Surely, shouldn't you all have normal aesthetics?"
"Because I am a front-line field worker who comes into contact with all kinds of people every day. I must have a normal appearance. I mean an appearance that is in line with this era. If they are like you, then others will know that I am naturally good at it.
.”
One of the female technician's eyes has been replaced with a microscope-like electronic eye, but her other soft facial features are not punk at all. She was definitely a beauty in the old days.
"Ah, so when I was wandering on the street before, people thought I could do it naturally?"
"It's very possible. Have you encountered any strange stares or stalking?"
"Ah, I was accosted by a strange old man, entrusted with a task, and then was intercepted halfway or something like that."
"Well, it's not normal until something goes wrong. There are quite a few people who just stare at it naturally. Come on, I'll help you install a simple AI now. After you go to sleep, this AI will be responsible for detecting the environment, and then at the appropriate time
Awakening awareness.”
"Why do you have to use AI? Can't your people wake it up?"
"Because we may not be with you by then, you can only act on your own. I will install a simple mobile frame on your head and reserve two quick-connect bodies. You have to assemble it yourself."
As the technician spoke, he took out a mechanical structure that looked like a crab and a spider from the tool box on the side.
"Wait a minute, you mean to put this thing on our heads?"
The friend couldn't help but asked loudly.
"Yes, what's wrong? Otherwise, how would you act if you only have one head?"
The technician looked puzzled, as if his gay friend was a fool.
"That's too curious! I don't want it!"
"???"
"Hmm... It's quite curious to think about it, a head with long legs running around... Well, don't pretend to be this thing for us, let's find another way!"
Xiao Wu couldn't accept this kind of thing either. For her, being torn into pieces was not a big problem, but having it reshaped randomly would be very uncomfortable.
"What can you do? If you don't like this insect-type mobile frame, I also have a mollusc-type one..."
"No, no, no! My body is very advanced, super advanced! I can do this, look!"
"Pfft~~~"
"Wow!"
The technician was startled because she saw Xiao Wu's head suddenly flying like a drone. Despite her extensive experience, this was the first time she had seen such a high-end machine.
"What is the structure of your brain...?"
"Oh, don't worry about the structure. Just think of it as our black technology. Okay, okay, hurry up and install AI for us! Also, my body is modular and quick-detachable. Don't go crazy.
My strength is broken!"
"Ah, I will pay attention. It is the first time in my life that I have seen such an advanced machine..."
"Hey, hey, there's something wrong with your eyes! You're not allowed to touch my body while I'm sleeping! No, I have to keep an eye on you! Wait until you finish unpacking the body and packing it up before going to sleep! Quick, quick, quick,
Stop nagging, I don’t want to fail in the city!”
"Hey~~~Okay."
…
West City is a city located to the east of Night City. The origin of this city's name dates back to the previous era, and most people now have no idea why it is called this name. But what is certain is that this name has absolutely nothing to do with its location.
.In some folklore, this city was once named after a certain person. As the times changed, the name was simplified to what it is now.
Caravans are the lifeline for the exchange of nutrients between cities and are vital to everyone. Therefore, even if a caravan has a problematic background, the rulers of the city will not deliberately make things difficult, but will invariably choose to pretend not to
You know. As long as they don't do anything outrageous on the surface, they are a regular and legal caravan. Private caravans do not need chaebol to expend resources to operate, but the loss of any caravan will affect the city's supplies.
Circulation. Unless absolutely necessary, no one will embarrass these third-party logistics companies.
The wilderness is very dangerous, not only with the harsh natural environment, but also with ferocious scavengers. Although these bandits usually only dare to attack small-scale caravans, they sometimes fight against regular caravans with the support of certain urban forces.
They are bandits and mercenaries, and doing dirty work for the chaebols is also their daily business. However, they rarely attack regular private caravans, and the targets of their dirty work are mostly private caravans owned by the chaebols. This kind of mission is extremely dangerous, but rewarding
It is also very generous.
Before sunrise, the convoy arrived under the majestic dark city wall of the West City. The city wall is hundreds of meters high, and countless defensive weapons and reconnaissance equipment are arranged above it. This kind of defense facility that was once eliminated due to the emergence of the air force has now been restored.
He regained his position as king.
For the weak military forces of this era, the city's defensive barriers are impenetrable copper and iron walls. Fixed turrets and missiles have absolute advantages in range and lethality, and high-power reconnaissance equipment makes all lurkers near the city invisible.
Escape. And those vertical take-off and landing aircraft that can only fly at low altitudes are all moving targets in front of fully automatic air defense weapons. Perhaps the earth's army in the 21st century can rely on firepower coverage to destroy this defensive barrier, but in this era there is no large-scale
The armed forces of the plutocrats were more than enough to maintain law and order, but it was absolutely impossible to fight a decent war. So everyone simply built high walls and lived their own lives. At most, they had small fights in the dark.
Confront it everywhere.
As for how Xiao Wu broke through this blockade, that is a secret.
After passing the identity verification, the thick door on the wall that can withstand nuclear explosions slowly opened, and the giant transport vehicles drove into the city one after another. They entered the logistics area isolated from the urban area, and then each vehicle had to undergo a security inspection.
.There have been instances in history where hostile forces hid in caravans and invaded the city, so since then, each city has divided closed and independent logistics areas to resist potential threats. The inner city walls here are also indestructible, even if they are detonated.
Small-yield nuclear bombs can also be blocked.
Of course, no one can build a serious nuclear bomb now. Although this is not a sophisticated thing in theory, the easily available nuclear materials have been used up in the last era and used
The last era is over. Modern people can't get the raw materials to make nuclear bombs, and there is no need to put in the effort to make them, so forget it.
But even so, you still have to be prepared. People in this era have a natural fear of nuclear weapons. After all, their ancestors used those things to wash the planet into what it is today. Even though this kind of terrifying weapon is no longer available
Exists, but what if? What if someone digs one out of the ruins? If not, can we just wait for death?
The giant transport trucks were parked neatly in the loading and unloading area, and all doors of each vehicle were opened for safety inspection. The technician with a mohawk glanced at the quick-connect machine hanging on the shelf, silently wishing the two good luck, and then jumped
Get off the car and meet up with your companions for inspection. The AI installed in their heads will check the surrounding situation and activate their consciousness after they are safe. Naturally, they will have already helped them sneak into the city. What happens next is up to them.
