Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 359 121. Hospital
"Judy is really amazing. She was able to determine the approximate range of the target location based on a mark on the operating table."

Even though he was already in the car, V was still muttering the clues just provided by Judy.

"After all, she is an expert in the field of Mewtwo. She has handled countless Mewtwo, from ordinary to illegal. Among illegal black Mewtwo, operating tables appear quite frequently, so it is not too strange that she can recognize where this operating table is from at a glance." Sitting in the passenger seat of V's favorite car, the Thunder Galina GA40XT "Viper", Carl was not surprised by this.

Just like Old Wei can tell which Night City prosthetics doctor’s work is done by just looking at the prosthetic modification, if you study an industry for a long time, you will naturally accumulate a lot of knowledge.

Having said that, Judy did help them a lot this time. Not only was she willing to help extract the scavenger's dream, she was also willing to teach them how to extract the dream, and finally helped them find clues. They must remember this favor.

If Judy has any work later, I can help her with one.

While thinking in his mind, Carl continued to recall the clues in the car.

The operating table sign Judy found belonged to a defunct hospital.

The hospital was eventually forced to close due to competition from the trauma team and its poor location. Since it was located on the edge of Saint Domingo, close to the Badlands, no one was willing to take over this mess. As time passed, the hospital became abandoned and dilapidated like other buildings in Taipingzhou.
But it was once a hospital after all, and there were still a lot of medical equipment left inside. Some illegal Mewtwo workshops noticed this and began to operate secretly in the hospital, making the hospital seem to have a second spring. Obviously, the scavenger that V was looking for was using those remaining medical equipment to build their 'warehouse' there to store human bodies.

"Now I understand why those bastards kidnapped young people. Maybe they want to make some specific black dream in a black dream workshop in that hospital, so they let the scavengers kidnap people as materials."

V said, with a hint of disgust on his face: "It seems best to kill them all at once this time."

"Let's do this if we're done rescuing people before they get away."

Carl agreed with V's idea, but the priority was still to save people first.

V may not be able to eliminate all the scavengers, and they have to rescue everyone before the scavengers can react. For the sake of speed, the group of Black Mewtwo producers can be placed a little behind the scavengers and solved in due time.

Carl already figured out where the scavengers' "warehouse" was.

An old place with two consecutive rooms without windows is most likely the basement of a hospital. Considering the style of the scavengers, the official name of the "warehouse" in the past hospital era might be the underground morgue.

V's Viper was driving very fast on the road, and it didn't take long for him to get from Watson District to Santo Domingo.

The target hospital was on the edge of Saint Domingo and the Badlands, but that edge was a little beyond V and Carl's expectations.

Driving through Santo Domingo, after arriving at the destination, V and Carl saw their target hospital from the car in the yellow sand blown by the badlands wind.

"This is really quite marginal. If you drive a little further out, it can be considered the Badlands." V parked the car and looked at the hospital with many collapsed walls and a large area. He sighed: "Looking at the scale of this hospital, the business must have been very prosperous in the past, but it was eventually eroded by the wind and sand and became what it is today."

"In places like this, most of the people who come for medical treatment are homeless people, smugglers, and gang members from the Badlands. These people are the targets of the company and the NCPD. The reason why this hospital completely closed down is, on the one hand, because the types of patients are too homogeneous, and on the other hand, it is because of reports from the city's trauma team and the Night City Medical Center. After all, colleagues are enemies. Once they find evidence or flaws, they will naturally act as soon as possible to kill the other party."

While observing the abandoned hospital, Carl looked up relevant information:

"And there's another reason. Although it's located at the border of Saint Domingo and the Bad Land, there's never a shortage of medical supplies and wounded people due to the fights between smuggling gangs, but the value of human life is getting lower and lower. Rather than sending their accomplices to the hospital for treatment, people now prefer to save the money and share it with the rest of the people."

"In other words, they were reported and investigated, and their regular patients were gradually lost, so they couldn't hold on and closed down?"

"That's about it."

Karl said, “But it’s nothing to be sad about. When I was looking up relevant information, I found that there was a lot of negative information about this hospital. I can only say that its closure was the result of a failed fight between gangs.”

"Do you think I'm a naive child? Do you feel pity for me?"

V said speechlessly: "This kind of hospital specializes in accepting smugglers, gang members and vagrants. Although I am a vagrant and it is difficult for me to say this, a hospital will accept these people and regard these people as its main business targets. It can't be clean."

"So now it has become a den of filth and dirt."

Carl and V walked towards the hospital in the wind and sand. The sand and dust that blew in from the Badlands today and was rumored to be radioactive was not dense enough to blind people. As Carl and V moved forward, they arrived at the hospital after walking for about ten minutes.

Carl and V had parked their car a little further away in order not to draw attention, but they realized that it was totally unnecessary after they came over.

Because in this abandoned hospital, looking inside through the collapsed wall, it was filled with all kinds of cars. Even when V took a quick look, he saw no less than five vehicles with the Night Walker logo.

"It looks like we found the right place. Now that I think about it, maybe this place is still performing the duties of a hospital in some way after being abandoned. After all, the creator of Black Mewtwo knew very well how to torture people to the greatest extent. Maybe they also mastered some medical skills because of this."

As V said this to Carl, he saw a somewhat familiar figure outside the hospital's outer wall not far from them. Just like them, who were walking quietly in the wind and sand, he was looking at the hospital inside through the collapsed wall.

That person is.
After a wave of wind and sand blew past, when the dust subsided a little, V could clearly see who was the person who was sticking his butt out and leaning his body to look inside.
