Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 252 14. Apple
Carl got off the car with the certificate, but found that there seemed to be no need for him to participate in it.

Judging from their appearance, that group might be Night Wanderers, also known as the Badlands Whirlpool Gang. Although they did not follow orders very well in this operation, their combat effectiveness was still acceptable given their numbers. With the cooperation of the military technology personnel, the total number of people who could beat the Arasaka Transport Team might not even be ten, so that was more than enough.

With a personnel gap of nearly four times and an ambush, the Arasaka personnel were beaten so badly that they couldn't raise their heads as soon as the firefight started.

Seeing this scene, Carl silently took out the chip from his pocket and put it back.

The chip is an intelligent auxiliary chip, which is used in conjunction with the weapon in Carl's hand for intelligent aiming. It can be regarded as a substitute for installing an intelligent connected prosthesis.

In fact, Carl's shooting skills do not require this kind of intelligent auxiliary chip, but as the saying goes, if it can aim automatically, who would bother to calibrate it by themselves? This classic gun is Carl's lazy gun, but today, even the lazy gun is not needed.

No wonder Blanca finally let me come over after thinking about it. This is a job that you really don't need to do yourself. It will be the same whether you are there or not.

Thinking about the reward Blanca offered, that he could pick two things to take away, Carl probably understood.

So, she just felt that she was free anyway, so she might as well come here and find an excuse to make some money from the company affairs?

this.
If Mann Brown and the others knew that when they went out on a job, they relied on their connections to get things.
Considering his reputation among his fellow mercenaries, Carl wore his helmet more firmly, completely obscuring his face.

The more he wears this outfit, the cooler it becomes. He wants to see what kind of goods Arasaka is transporting.

Carjacking is a skill that makes the second time familiar. Moreover, the team led by Meredith has robbed the Arasaka transport team more than once or twice. They have been doing it before, but it has only been more frequent recently.

Surrounded by military technology personnel, the Arasaka escorts were unable to send out distress signals, identify the enemy, or leave any code words, so they died quickly and the battle was over within four minutes. During the entire process, no one on the carjacking side was injured, except for an unlucky wanderer who rushed too fast and was shot in the chest and killed on the spot.

The car was hijacked, and the group of vagrants surrounded the armored vehicle and began searching for bodies.

This was a very lucrative job, with Euros as payment, and they could drive away an armored vehicle. It also looked like the truck could be repaired and driven away as well. If they had done this alone, it would have taken the lives of 20 to 30 people.

The wanderers were searching for bodies next to the armored vehicle, but no one thought of searching the truck before the military technology team arrived. Only with a good foundation of trust can there be more cooperation. This group of wanderers has already earned too much from the cooperation with the military technology, and there is no need to do something that will ruin future cooperation for the sake of a single trip.

"They are night-wandering ghosts."

Carl stood beside Meredith, watching Meredith's men talking to the leading wanderer, and confirmed his previous guess: "I saw that mark on them."

"It's just a gang formed around Night City by the Luan Dao Society who were driven out by the tribe. I can't remember the name."

Meredith spoke indifferently, her tone still containing that arrogance, but she was obviously somewhat happy that the job was successfully completed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up while she spoke.

"The person in charge of this job said that you will pick two first, and we will take the rest back. You have to see which truck it belongs to first. You have to be quick, otherwise the Arasaka personnel might react."

Meredith gestured to the trucks, one in front and one behind, one overturned and one with a dented front end, and asked Carl what he thought.

She had no objection to Carl picking things up without doing anything. It was not a matter of Carl's reputation there, but simply a matter of task remuneration.

She knew very well that if something happened, for example, there was a high-ranking agent or ninja among the Arasaka personnel in the cargo transport, then the attackers would be the ones to suffer, and perhaps all the personnel would be killed. At that time, Carl would be their most reliable insurance. It was obviously worth exchanging two items in the cargo for an insurance. "Okay."

Carl had no objection to his reward. He chose to look at the second truck first. As the truck's cargo box opened, piles of well-sealed wooden boxes appeared in front of Carl.

At Meredith's signal, a military technician dressed in Arasaka soldier's uniform came over, scanned with a special scanning artificial eye, confirmed that there were no traps, and then went over to open a box.

The things that appeared inside made everyone present stunned. No one expected that this would be the thing in the box.

"apple."

Meredith frowned at the fruits in the box, then signaled the person opening the boxes to open another box, and found that it was still filled with apples.

"strangeness."

Meredith muttered.

Fresh fruits are very precious and expensive in Night City, but according to Arasaka's freight situation, shouldn't this kind of thing be transported by ship? Why use vehicles? And Arasaka is transporting apples, Christmas Eve and Christmas are all in the past, and real fruits can't be sold at the highest price in the market today, right?

Meredith looked at Carl, walked to another truck, and asked his men to open the overturned cargo box.

As the cargo box was opened, a box of goods shook out directly from the box due to the shaking. After being opened by military technology personnel, the goods that appeared in front of everyone were no different from the previous box.

'Apple again, why?'

While Meredith began to think carefully about the possible reasons behind Arasaka's transportation of apples, Carl was quite happy and had already picked up the boxes.

It has to be said that this kind of goods pleases Carl more than any weapons and equipment.

Carl has already received a batch of weapons from Mr. Kenichi Shiro. Ordinary weapons are not really needed. Compared with this, being able to bring back two boxes of apples is obviously more exciting.

As Carl looked left and right at the boxes, trying to tell from the outside which box had the better apples, he saw a mark on the box.

mark?

Carl looked around at the other boxes and saw the same mark in the same place on each box.

This mark looks like a claw.

A sharp claw firmly grasped the corner of the box.

　ps. I want to try my best to update, but things keep happening, it’s really annoying.
