Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 366 128. Entering Dog Town
"I'm sorry, Mr. KK, I didn't expect you to come in such a special vehicle."

A captain of the Hellhound team who was in charge of guarding the gate came hurriedly over. After waving his hand to signal the Hellhound in charge of the inspection to move aside, he came to the car window and apologized to Carl:

"The procedures for your arrival have been approved. I will have someone open the inspection gate immediately. You can go in directly. Mr. Kenichi Kazuya is already waiting for you in Dog Town."

After listening to the captain's apology, the people in the car finally came to their senses. It turned out that the Hera they modified was too ordinary and common, so these people never thought that they would come in such a car.

Carl looked at the apology of the captain of the Hellhounds and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

The current situation is like someone going to inspect a luxury hotel in ordinary clothes, but being stopped by the security guard at the door. The lobby manager inside recognized his identity and hurried over to apologize.

What a classic plot of pretending to be cool but then getting slapped in the face.

However, Carl's temper was not so bad as to do anything just because of a misunderstanding. In response to the apology from the Dog Town captain, Carl smiled and expressed his own apologies.

"No, we just don't know the rules."

In the eyes of the Netherhound worker who was passionately arguing with Oliver and Jack just a moment ago and was now in a panic, he saw in disbelief that KK, the killer in Night City, whose reputation even he had heard of, actually took the initiative to apologize.

Carl said, "We forgot that small cars have to use secondary roads. This is our responsibility."

"Is that so?"

The team leader, who obviously did not expect Carl to apologize, was stunned at first, and then he did not know what to say. After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "But it is also our responsibility that we did not recognize you. Please come in quickly."

After a while, as the gate between the blockade dog town and Taiping State opened, Hera, which had stopped, restarted.

Watching Hera moving forward, the captain of the Hellhound team still couldn't quite accept the fact that KK took the initiative to apologize to them. At this moment, he heard the young Hellhound next to him muttering to himself: "KK, it seems that he is not as terrible as the rumors say, who would peel off people's skin and roast them over the fire if they disagree with him."

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this. As soon as he mentioned it, the captain of the Nether Dogs went up and kicked him, causing him to stagger.

"What are you talking about? You don't know how to control your mouth all day long. You are used to scolding outsiders all day long, right? Next time, I will have to find someone who easily gets angry and pull out a gun to blow your head off, so that you will learn to keep your mouth shut."

After being kicked by the captain, the young man from the Nether Dog obviously didn't dare to say anything. However, after listening to the captain's scolding, he was still a little unconvinced: "I didn't know he was KK"

"Don't even mention KK. The other few people you just talked about were so loud that I could hear them from a long distance away. Do you know who they are? I told you to pay more attention to the people in Night City. Those two are called Oliver and Jack. If a fight breaks out, I'm afraid our entire team combined wouldn't be enough to defeat them alone. You actually dared to argue with them. You think you're capable, don't you? Don't count me in if you don't want to die."

"But we have automatic machine guns and unmanned combat bipedal mechas. They can't kill us all by themselves."

Another kick.

"Then if we fight, will you still be alive? The fight is with others, but your life is your own. Next time you keep talking nonsense, let your sister teach you a lesson, you son of a bitch."

Hearing about his sister, the young man of the Nether Dog dared not speak, and could only lower his head and answer: "Yes, brother-in-law."

"Call me Captain. I don't have a stupid brother like you."

“But Captain, you just called me a bastard, does that mean you were calling my sister too?” “Fuck you!”

Not knowing that the Hellhound behind him was beating another Hellhound, he sat in Hera's car. As the door opened, a new world appeared in front of Carl and the others.

In the driver's seat, Oliver, who had Kirusi's optical prosthetic eyes, saw the huge circular building in the distance through the bulletproof window in front of him. He couldn't help but say, "Is that the stadium in Dogtown? It's really big. I can see it from such a distance."

"That's probably because you installed a new type of artificial eye. I can see the general shape. I'll have to ask Lao Wei to replace my artificial eye with a better one. The magnification is not enough."

As Jack spoke, he stared at the stadium in the distance:

"EBM Petrochemical Stadium, I've heard of this place before." He said, "It was originally built with funding from EBM Petrochemical Company, but later because Taipingzhou was abandoned, the project was forced to stop halfway through. From the outside, the stadium is indeed magnificent. I remember there was a rumor that after the Unification War, the Hellhound shot down a nuclear cargo airship from the New United States, and that airship happened to crash into the stadium. The nuclear-powered generator on the airship meant that Dog Town no longer needed to rely on external energy supplies. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Eighty percent of it is true."

Oliver looked at the streets around him. "From what I can see, it's clear that there's no shortage of electricity. As a city within a city, if it doesn't have its own way to generate electricity, it would have been controlled by the city government of Night City a long time ago."

"Stop talking so much."

Jack didn't intend to go into more depth on the topic of resources. He turned to Carl and asked, "What did Kenichi and Kazuya say? Where is he waiting for us in Dog Town? Is it the Gemstone Blue Building?"

"That place is the lair of the Hellhounds. Although I don't mind it, I don't think Mr. Kurt Hansen would be too happy if I went there without an invitation."

Carl flipped through the latest message sent by Kenichi and Kazuya.

"We will have the opportunity to go there and discuss business with Mr. Kurt Hansen during this trip, but we will go there as representatives of Arasaka. Now, the hotel we are going to stay in has been given to you. It is also managed by the Hellhounds. Since we are both Hellhounds, can you make do with it, Master Jack?"

"Okay, but it's useless for me to agree to this. The driver is right next to us."

"I just hope this job can end in a safe way."

Oliver sighed, "We are representing Arasaka and negotiating with the Hellhounds. Although we are just representatives and don't need to negotiate business, it still feels weird like we are wearing dog skins and pretending to be someone else. So, Carl, what does that lady, your friend, think?"

"do not know."

Karl told the truth: "She paid us, so we did it. We didn't ask any other questions. Isn't that what mercenaries do?"

"But the relationship between you and her is not just that of mercenary and employer."

Oliver stared at Carl suspiciously. He didn't doubt that Carl was hiding any mission in this regard, but he trusted Carl, but he was not so sure about the eldest lady of Arasaka.

Who knows, this might be the means that the young lady wants to use to lure Carl into the company.

The more you get involved in the company's affairs, the harder it will be to get out.
