Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 506 119. Unknown

Walking into the church again, the current situation inside the church gave Carl a new feeling.

In layman's terms, the church that Carl now saw was in chaos.

The podium was in a mess, and the surrounding environment was also made a mess by people who left in a hurry. There were also a few corpses lying on the ground that had been dealt with by V and his team. However, compared to the scene they had seen before, where a person was chanting evil words and the people below were either taking drugs or listening devoutly out of fear, like zombies, the current situation was much better.

The resurrected corpse is the most famous and frightening feature of voodoo. There are even rumors that the inspiration for zombie horror movies in the past came from the resurrected corpse of voodoo.

The origin of the resurrected corpse is a curse.

If someone has offended someone and that person wants the most horrific revenge, they might go to a voodoo wizard.

The wizard will give them something special - a poison potion made with pufferfish toxin.

Once this potion enters the body of the person being retaliated against, it will interfere with their nervous system and heart function, causing functional disorders and putting the body into a state of suspended animation. He will then be declared dead by the wizard and buried in the ground.

After the funeral, the wizard will dig out the person who is not dead yet and rescue him. Then he will use the person whose brain and nerves have been destroyed by toxins and who is like a corpse and can only rely on instinct to obey orders and eat as a slave. This slave who has lost his mind, is unconscious and can work and can be enslaved and dominated by his master at will is called a zombie.

Carl was well aware of voodoo's concerns about the resurrected corpses. In his opinion, those people who had gathered to pray out of fear were no different from the resurrected corpses, even if they were conscious.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable staying with a group of zombies. In comparison, this kind of empty place where everyone has recovered their brains and knows where to escape is more pleasant.

"It feels a bit like school days in the afternoon in autumn. Everyone is groggy and nods and raises their heads like zombies during the teacher's lecture."

Not sure if this could be considered a good memory, Carl muttered to himself as he walked into an open side door next to the church and then went down through the tunnel that had been opened.

The further he went down, the more Carl had a special sense of déjà vu.

Why does the surrounding scenery look more and more like a subway station?

"Could this be a subway tunnel built during the construction of Taiping Province? I didn't expect the Voodoo Gang to put their lair in such a place. This place is indeed not bad. If something goes wrong, they will just run along the subway route."

"This is the tunnel for the interstate maglev train."

The T-BUG channel explained: "It used to be possible to travel across the seabed to all parts of the world through this place, but it was abandoned after the war. If the Voodoo Gang hadn't taken the initiative to open the connection today, who would have thought that their lair, which had been hiding, would be in a place like this."

"Abandoned after the war?"

Carl listened with some doubts: "Which war is it, the war of unification of the new United States?"

"It's still a long time ago. The Fourth Corporate War was started by the American Marine Technology and Energy Company and the French International Marine Company. In the end, Militech and Arasaka were involved, and almost all the mainstream companies in the world took sides in the war."

"That's a bit early."

Carl passed through the dark tunnel and saw a long section of carriages standing across the track.

Interstate maglev train.

It looks quite luxurious.

At the same time as he saw the train, Carl also heard gunshots and running sounds, as if a battle was going on on the other side of the interstate maglev train.

"I wanted to walk faster, but ended up walking slower because I was looking at things on the way. Oliver and the others will definitely say I was lazy later."

Carl thought so in his heart, but he did not speed up his pace at all. Because as he approached, all he could hear was the buzzing sound of the thermal samurai swords cutting through the air and the screams of people, and among the sounds, a female voice was particularly piercing.

"KK Squad?! Why are you doing this? I remember we didn't provoke you. Stop it. You can stop now. Who hired you? We are willing to pay double, no, triple!"

Hearing the flustered female voice, Carl walked past the interstate maglev train with an exquisitely decorated interior, came to the other side, and then met the owner of the female voice in the dim tunnel.

She was a black woman wearing a thick coat, with short hair and thick lips. She looked quite old. On her face, which was not so clear in the black environment, a pair of prosthetic eyes were shining.

The first time Karl saw her, he already knew her identity.

Maman-Bridget.

The leader of the Voodoo Gang and one of the most feared hackers in Night City.

Under her leadership, the Voodoo Gang has successfully launched countless cyber attacks against companies and other gangs. As a result, she has been included in the wanted list and reward list by many forces. In the public's impression, she is a very dangerous person.

However, this hacker, who was so powerful online that most Night City citizens were terrified when hearing rumors about him, was extremely vulnerable when attacked in real life, and his performance was even worse than that of Placide, whom she had always looked down upon in the gang and contemptuously called a beast.

This is not something particularly strange.

Hackers have countless ways to kill beasts like Placide on the Internet, but when they meet face to face in reality, it is the beast's turn to show off.

A beast like Placide could tear apart countless hackers like Mammon-Bridget in reality, not to mention easily getting rid of Placide's KK team.

Retreating continuously under the protection of the Voodoo Gang, Maman-Bridget said that she wanted to fight for peace, but in fact she was trying to invade the system of the KK team members present, hoping to turn the tide with the help of a hack. It was in this situation that she noticed Carl who walked in and looked very leisurely.

Without any hesitation, Maman-Bridget had already chosen the candidate.

If the KK team can subdue KK, then there will be no need to worry about the others.

With this thought in mind, she picked up the device she carried with her, trying to break through KK's ICE and establish a connection.

But almost the next moment she was about to invade, Carl noticed her movements.

'Data intrusion?'

Carl subconsciously raised his gun, but just as he raised the gun, he discovered something quite unexpected.

The device in Maman-Bridget's hand suddenly exploded.

The explosion instantly enveloped Maman-Bridget's head.

Without any movement, the notorious Voodoo Gang leader died in the explosion of the equipment in his hand.

?

Is this what happened?

Carl, who didn't feel any intrusion, didn't understand why.
