The Creators: From Night City

Chapter 61 Foot Wipe

After hearing this, Ser's face showed bitterness. He sighed, knowing that there was no turning back.

Just as he was about to speak, his wife secretly pulled at the corner of his clothes, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were immediately swallowed back.

It can be seen that Zhang Alex has a sister who loves him.

But Pyrrha would rather jump out of a 20-meter window to save Rebecca.

Looking at the middle-aged chef with an embarrassed face, Jiang Bing could not feel any empathy.

"There is no choice." Jiang Bing looked up and gestured to Ser.

"Either you and her die first, and then we can find Zhang Alex."

"Or, give me an answer now."

At this moment, Jiang Bing looked like a cold-blooded gangster godfather.

"Don't tell me you and she are innocent. It makes me angry because it insults my intelligence."

In the end, Searl chose to compromise.

"Very good," Jiang Bing nodded. "One last question, Chef. Just tell us your previous supplier of organic meat, and we'll quietly leave here, as if we had never been here."

There was no need for Searle to hesitate about this question, and he answered it very readily.

Voodoo Gang!

The three people who got the answer walked out of the restaurant.

David, who had just gone out and had not yet been beaten by society, spoke hesitantly.

"Just now~"

Jiang Bing didn't let him continue.

“Either you control your life, or your life controls you.”

After throwing a word to shut David's mouth, Jiang Bing went downstairs without looking back.

Lucy was left alone, bumping David's shoulder and motioning him to follow the group.

Zhang Alex did not come to the restaurant, but fortunately, the pickup truck he drove for purchasing, although tattered, had the most basic positioning function. As the restaurant's property, the owner, Sear, could naturally get the latest positioning.

Near Linhai Park in the southwest of the valley area.

This place has a complex environment and open terrain, making it very suitable for illegal transactions or as a meeting point.

On the way to the garden, Jiang Bing took the opportunity to contact Gloria.

Jiang Bing: Any news on the other middlemen?

Gloria: Not yet. I've asked all the middlemen I know to help me find out. It might take some time.

Jiang Bing: Try to contact the middleman in Taiping Prefecture. The most important one is a middleman named Hands. See if you can get his contact information.

[Gloria: Any news from Zhang Alex?]

Jiang Bing: He didn't go to work today. Fortunately, we've got his real-time location and we're on our way.

[Jiang Bing: However, the restaurant where he works previously supplied organic meat to the Voodoo Gang.]

Gloria: Those crazy Haitians?

Gloria: Yes! They're considered the biggest organic meat smuggling force in Night City.

【Gloria: I understand. I'll try my best to contact you.】

Jiang Bing: Finding people is the most important thing; money is not a problem.

Linhai Park is called a park, but there are not many green plants.

The lush trees have colorful lights, billboards, and loudspeakers, but not many leaves.

The steps at the entrance of the park were also quite lively.

There are new-age gurus who sell courses on quantum meditation and cyber enlightenment, and they are not professional at all, with the image of monks; they are addicted to "glitter" and high; they are purely homeless and wandering; there are twos and threes of low-class scoundrels who hang out in groups; there are also those who come to Night City for serious shopping and tourism.

The last one is the most awesome, the one who drinks too much horse urine and runs naked.

And she’s a woman!

The demons are dancing wildly, and the ashes are free.

Fortunately, the three of them have become accustomed to it.

As the hacker in this temporary team, Lucy naturally tracks the signal of Zhang Alex's pickup truck and guides David.

Finally, the car drove out of Linhai Park and stopped on the west side of the highway.

Lucy's prosthetic eye stopped blinking and pointed to the beach in front of the vehicle's left side. "The signal is right there, but it hasn't moved in a long time."

In fact, she didn't need to say anything, Jiang Bing had already seen the broken pickup truck parked on the beach.

Accompanied by the sound of the tide, the three of them walked closer.

The pickup truck door was wide open, and a little yellow-haired boy fell beside the car, lying dead there. Half of his body was still submerged in the water, rising and falling with the waves.

Apart from them, there was no one else on the huge beach.

This place has a wide view, is located in a remote area, but is well connected. As long as you have a car, it is indeed a good place for business connections.

Of course, it's also a good place to dump corpses.

If everyone hadn't followed the trail, no one would have known that the little yellow-haired boy had rotted here.

Looking at the smooth beach, apart from our own footprints and the tracks of the pickup truck, it was empty.

The little yellow-haired boy died suddenly and mysteriously on a deserted beach. If this happened in a crime drama, it would take at least five episodes.

Fortunately, Jiang Bing was knowledgeable and experienced. After turning over the little yellow-haired boy's body, he figured out the cause of death in no time.

My brain was fried by hackers.

As the one with the most say, Lucy carefully identified the prosthesis on the little yellow-haired boy and gave a clear answer.

"It's likely that someone remotely detonated a pre-implanted virus, causing the brain to overload and rapidly heat up, essentially cooking it."

"This method is extremely complex to use. It's not something you can simply implant into a puppet. You have to bypass the prosthetic's ICE protection and rewrite the underlying code. However, if successful, the victim's brain and brain-computer interface are essentially destroyed, making it difficult for others to find anything."

"Foot cloth"

Jiang Bing uttered a word that both of them understood, but at this moment they were a little confused.

Typical voodoo gang inhuman behavior.

There is nothing unclear at this point.

The Voodoo Gang, the largest force in Night City smuggling organic meat, learned from Little Yellow Hair Zhang Alex that someone has been smuggling organic meat recently, not only at a low price but also of good quality.

If they smuggled the animals in from outside, the price wouldn't even cover the shipping costs, so based on Little Yellow Hair's intelligence, the Voodoo Gang concluded that the other party had a newly established breeding farm around Night City.

After all, they would never guess that this organic meat was smuggled from another world and there was no transportation cost at all.

There is not even any purchase cost, and dozens of deer only consume two steamed buns.

Whether it was for the purpose of eliminating competitors, or to follow the clues and seize the farm, after some investigation and finding out Rebecca's situation, they started killing and robbing without hesitation.

As the intelligence provider, Zhang Alex not only did not receive any reward, but was also brutally murdered.

Once a person dies, all traces are wiped out. Even if the voodoo gang is suspected, there is no evidence.

Without substantial evidence, their case cannot be accepted officially, so they want to resort to violence. This group of dynamic groups entrenched in Taiping Prefecture are also fearless.

The entire set of actions is comprehensive and very much in line with the local characteristics of Night City.

It's a pity that I offended the wrong person.

Chapter 62 The moon is dark and the wind is high

Just when Jiang Bing was calculating that he would need a few days to kill all the Voodoo Gang members, Gloria called and temporarily saved this group of black guys who liked to play tricks.

When the call was connected, Mrs. Martinez's face was full of excitement.

Gloria: Boss, we've contacted Hands, the middleman from Taiping State. As you expected, he has information about Rebecca. Jiang Bing: How much does he want?

Gloria: That's the main reason I called you. He doesn't want any money. He wants to see you after this incident.

Gloria's words made Jiang Bing full of doubts. Gloria had always been the one who showed up as the middleman, especially recently. Jiang Bing had basically given her all the power, so it was logical that Hands would not notice him behind Gloria.

Unless, it is from other channels.

Jiang Bing absolutely dared not ignore the intelligence capabilities of these big-name middlemen, so this possibility was not impossible and the probability was very high.

[Jiang Bing: Are you sure you want to see me?]

Gloria: Yes, I don't know how he got the news, but he did specifically ask to see you, Boss.

Jiang Bing thought about his recent actions in his mind, and after making sure that he had not revealed any clues that should not be revealed, he made a decision in his heart.

【Jiang Bing: Promise him.】

Taking advantage of the gap, Jiang Bing turned around and instructed Lucy.

"Send a report about this little yellow-haired boy to his brother-in-law. We can't take the blame if it's not our fault. And find someone to collect his body to avoid polluting the ocean environment."

Jiang Bing didn't kill anyone, but he took advantage of the situation to destroy his heart.

Soon, Gloria sent over a surveillance video, along with an address in Taipingzhou.

This surveillance video comes from a camera at an intersection.

In the video, several vehicles were dragging a bullet-riddled Tingwei Colby CX410 Lone Peak truck through the intersection.

This car is Rebecca's vehicle. It is the delivery car that Jiang Bing personally equipped for Rebecca, the first employee of the [Anti-Entropy] sales department. Jiang Bing would definitely not make a mistake.

Hands' people were so considerate as to pause a certain video segment and zoom in on part of the image.

Through the glass of the carriage in the picture, you can vaguely see Rebecca's unconscious figure.

This made Jiang Bing feel a little relieved.

Taipingzhou was originally planned as a resort to generate revenue for Night City.

In the 1960s, led by the Ye Group, many investors followed suit, hoping to make money through this tourism project. They invested a lot of money to turn this poor southern suburb into a thriving tourist destination.

When the entire Taiping State was built, a large number of homeless people and local people were employed, as well as a large number of Haitian immigrants.

But later, with the impact of a global economic crisis, investors withdrew their funds, resulting in the indefinite suspension of the Taipingzhou resort plan, and most of the buildings were left unfinished after only half of the construction was completed.

By 2070, when the United War ended, the previous investors wanted to restart the project, but the many gangs and residents entrenched here were not happy about it.

Over a long period of time, West Wind Manor and part of the seaside area have been transformed into slums by them. In order to drive out these stubborn residents, the company has resorted to means including lethal force, but has been defeated by local forces led by the Voodoo Gang.

Subsequently, with the entry of NCPD, the entire war situation continued to escalate. In order to avoid a large-scale escalation of the war, NCPD finally announced its withdrawal from Taiping State, and the municipal government also announced the closure of all services.

However, the local people still live well on their own.

Since neither the NCPD nor the company has any control over this area, Taiping State has truly become a lawless area.

The residents here are accustomed to the large-scale transactions of arms, drugs, and gang fights.

Not to mention that there is a former military technology military group entrenched here - Dog Town.

However, Jiang Bing doesn't care about the above.

He came here to do only three things.

Killing, dying, and saving.

Taiping Prefecture, on the rooftop of the Grand Empire Shopping Mall.

Jiang Bing, wearing [Power - Wind Lord], crouched on the edge of the roof.

As night falls, Taiping Prefecture becomes distinctly different from the nearby Night City.

Without public electricity from the municipal government, residents of Taiping State can only use generators to be self-sufficient.

This results in lights not being widely available in Taiping Prefecture. Compared to the valley area which is as bright as day, this place can only be described as a starry sky that barely illuminates the dark night.

The wind is picking up.

It's a good time to kill people when the moon is dark and the wind is strong.

At the door of the unfinished building not far away, a light flashed, and Mann fired a shot to announce the start of the attack on the Voodoo Gang.
