The Creators: From Night City

Dakota was not very interested in the guns and ammunition. As the middleman put forward by the Adecado clan, her focus was now entirely on the necessities of life, especially water resources.

"How much do you want?"

Dakota didn't pause for a second. Any hesitation at this moment would be disrespectful to his intelligence and clan.

"We'll take whatever Anti-Entropy can provide."

Seeing the fish taking the bait, Jiang Bing smiled like a wealthy Middle Eastern man.

"Anti-Entropy can provide as much as you want."

What a joke! Do you know how valuable the profits are?

Dakota pursed his lips tightly at this moment, staring at Jiang Bing's eyes intently. After not seeing any intention of joking on the other's face, he quickly put on the oxygen mask on his face and took big gulps of oxygen.

Her heavy breathing made her look like she was seriously injured by the invisible aura emitted by Jiang Bingchao's ability.

"As long as what you say is true, I can agree to your proposal right here."

The almost unlimited amount of low-priced, high-quality water resources can play an immeasurable role in the development of the entire clan, which makes Dakota excited.

At this moment, her emphasis on [Anti-Entropy] has been infinitely elevated, even surpassing military technology and Arasaka.

Hear thunder in a silent place.

[Anti-entropy] is definitely not the small-scale fight it seems on the surface.

Looking at Jiang Bing's yellow skin, Dakota felt that there was a huge secret hidden under his sturdy body.

Could it be that that low-key country has quietly developed some advanced seawater purification technology?

[Anti-Entropy] might be extending another tentacle eastward toward Night City and New America, just like Kang Tao did.

The two tentacles, one in Night City and the other focusing on the Badlands, one for military and the other for people's livelihood, one for the wealthy and the other for the poor, the countryside surrounds the city and the city helps the countryside, uniting the top leaders and the wanderers.

This style should not be too obvious.

Dakota, who was self-deprecating, was now in a state of confusion with thoughts and ideas.

The other party's reply did not surprise Jiang Bing at all.

"As for the issue of the Luan Dao Society, it will be resolved soon. You can find a way to gather those 100 riders after that."

Only children make choices, but as an adult, Jiang Bing chooses to have them all.

Seeing Jiang Bing's reply so firm and certain, Dakota, who had been firmly suppressed in the negotiations, gathered his thoughts and said, suppressing his complex emotions: "Then I will wait for good news from Mr. Sabul."

After all, these are just one person's opinions. Before you actually see the real thing, no matter how much Jiang Bing says, it doesn't count.

Dakota unzipped his waist bag, took out a data chip and handed it to Jiang Bing.

"Inside this is information about the Luan Dao Society. [Anti-Entropy] can be used as a reference."

"Would it be convenient for me to ask how [Anti-Entropy] plans to deal with these people?"

Jiang Bing forced a slightly cruel smile.

"Eradicate all evil."

Small meetings are held for big things, and big meetings are held for small things.

After a long debate, Gloria finally reached an agreement with the three families on cooperation, completely unaware that two people hiding in the corner had quietly reached a preliminary agreement that would affect the entire North American situation.

The applicants said there were three families, but in fact they were just the people present. Kandal and Sidal had no problem and agreed very readily.

Mitch just accompanied Panam to take a look. In fact, Panam was the only one the Bright family wanted to apply for the driver position.

V didn't have any other thoughts and agreed readily. After all, the reward offered by [Anti-Entropy] was indeed very generous, and the recent series of unreliable decisions made by the Baker family had caused the family members to become divided, and also made him want to leave the family and go solo.

This job is a very good stepping stone.

Several people agreed to gather in front of Base No. 6 early tomorrow morning to officially start work.

There is no other way. If he doesn't recruit more people, Falco will sooner or later follow in the footsteps of many corporate dogs and will have to drive while taking stimulants.

V stayed in the repair shop to tinker with his beloved car, while everyone else went home, leaving their horses to rest.

On the way, Jiang Bing pondered the gains and losses of the recent negotiations. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he instructed Gloria, "Gather the members of Team Mann. There's a major operation coming up. Have them gather at Base 6 to discuss the action plan. This is also a good opportunity to upgrade their equipment."

Chapter 79: Bandit Suppression

Black clouds are threatening to destroy the city.

A sandstorm that occurs once in a century sweeps across the badlands.

The headquarters of the Luan Dao Society at the foot of Hongfeng Mountain is an abandoned and dilapidated factory.

On the hill not far from the factory, there was a convoy of more than ten vehicles parked.

The car windows were hit by gravel blown up by the strong wind, making a loud noise, but everyone in the car was quietly waiting for the time to attack.

There is only one exception.

Although Pila Sluthand's reckless nature has been restrained a lot due to the last Voodoo Gang incident, she still can't change her nature of telling dirty jokes.

"What should we call a sandstorm bigger than Hadaboo?"

Patting his 'Leopard Train' prosthetic leg, Pyrrha saw that no one paid any attention to him, so he could only say awkwardly: "Ha Jubo".

"Quiet," Dolio whispered.

"Be careful not to be overheard by the sentries of the Luan Dao Society."

Just as Pyrrha was about to retort, the car door was suddenly opened, and the person who got in was David, wearing the [Heavenly Soldier] combat uniform.

He folded up his fully sealed helmet, revealing his flattened head.

"Boss is right. This time storm has reached its maximum energy level. We can start our operation now."

Mann, who was also wearing a heavy combat uniform at the time, nodded to indicate that he understood.

Afterwards, instructions to start the operation came from the temporary combat channel established by Qiwei, and a group of people got out of a dozen cars.

Most of them were workers hired by Old Logan, and later transferred to the security personnel of [Anti-Entropy]. Old Logan knew the situation of each of them very well, and they could be said to be rare "good family guys" in Night City.

However, in the subsequent battle, these dozen or so security personnel were mainly responsible for playing supporting roles and seeing blood. The real main force was Mann and his team, as well as their new equipment.

This bandit suppression campaign was used as a small exercise for [Anti-Entropy], and also as a test for the new equipment that Jiang Bing had painstakingly developed.

[Tianjiang], [Anti-Entropy] heavy assault combat uniform, the heavy combat uniform is matched with the equally thick bulletproof armor, allowing it to ignore most bullets.

Positioned as a front-line tank, the [Tianjiang]'s main 'weapon' is a bulletproof shield that is large enough to protect the wearer and teammates behind him.

The solid metal shield is fifteen centimeters thick, and the extreme stacking of high-strength alloy makes the shield weigh a terrifying two tons.

Mann unfolded his helmet, wrapped it around his head, and installed a kinetic energy module from the world of "Dead Space" on his left arm. After being modified by Jiang Bing, its main function at this moment was to offset the terrifying weight of the shield.

Mann inserted his left arm into the special groove of the shield. The modified kinetic energy module was lit up, and the artificial gravitational field made the heavy shield become light as a feather, and Mann easily lifted it in front of him.

After moving the [Heavenly General]'s arm, the shield immediately emitted a dull whistling sound, which made Mann feel no heavier than carrying a layer of foam.

"No matter how many times you do it, this stuff is unbelievable."

Picking up the strange-looking handheld gravitational field accelerator in his right hand, Mann looked at his partner beside him.

Dolio also wore the same [Tianjiang] heavy combat uniform, but as a firepower person, she was not equipped with a heavy shield like Mann. Instead, she carried a Gauss revolver machine gun. This heavy weapon, named [Annihilation], was modified using SWS electric pulse rifle technology. It did not fire conventional bullets, but small steel balls.

After being accelerated by the built-in electromagnetic coil, these small steel balls can be accelerated to supersonic speed. Although the power of a single steel ball is not very impressive, the multi-barrel honeycomb design allows its firing rate to reach an astonishing 6000 rounds per minute.

So behind Dolio's [Sky General], there is an equally huge ammunition box, with 20 6.5mm small steel balls weighing nearly one ton. If it were not for the same gravitational field technology as Mann's left arm, this weight would be enough to crush her in an instant.

But now, the ammunition box, which was almost as big as an old single-door refrigerator, was also carried lightly on her back, as if it were nothing.

One of them is in attack and the other is in defense, and they are the absolute main force today.

Pila climbed to the top of a rock and resumed his old job as a sniper, but the gun in his hand was changed from the previous cat to the new sniper rifle developed by Jiang Bing.

This sniper rifle was named "Flying Thorn" by Jiang Bing. It is a new type of sniper rifle made by combining the 935 type joint rivet gun and the electromagnetic acceleration technology of Tsunami Defense Company. Both technologies use the principle of electromagnetic acceleration projectiles. Through the skillful hands of the "craftsman", they are fully integrated. While the power is greatly enhanced, the stability of the electromagnetic acceleration coil has also achieved a great breakthrough.

In terms of actual use, unlike technical sniper rifles like the Nekomata, which can only use armor-piercing nails of specific sizes and shapes, the ammunition of the [Flying Thorn] is more flexible and diverse due to its high stability. For example, it can use special high-explosive bombs, poison gas bombs, electromagnetic pulse bombs, etc.

However, due to its extremely delicate structure, it can only be made by Jiang Bing himself, and mass production is not possible for the time being.

Pyrrha was wearing a sand-yellow painted [Heavenly Soldier] combat uniform, which made her almost invisible in the violent sandstorm.

【attack!】

Mann took the lead, holding a heavy shield, but ran at the speed of a normal person, protecting Dolio as he rushed towards the gate of the Luan Dao Society's headquarters.

Following closely behind was Jiang Bing's bus, with Qiwei, David, Lucy, and Falco in the bus.

Everyone was wearing the same [Heavenly Soldiers], but Qiwei and Lucy's combat uniforms were a little special. In addition to many more cooling grilles, there were also metal pipes on the helmets that connected to the backpacks on the back.

This is a liquid nitrogen cooling device specially made by Jiang Bing for hackers.

With an inaudible muffled sound, a human heat source marked by Mann's RIG was knocked down by Pilla's precise shot.

This huge sandstorm made it almost impossible for ordinary people to survive outdoors, but in such a harsh environment, the Luan Dao Society still sent two minions to guard the gate.

Mann raised the handheld gravitational field accelerator in his right hand. After a brief period of charging, a violent shock wave erupted from the fist-sized muzzle, directly destroying the thick iron gate.

This mining tool, which Jiang Bing made almost no modifications to, was also manufactured based on the theory of gravitational fields. The artificial gravitational field it emits has an explosive power far exceeding that of conventional explosives, but the recoil is so weak that it can be ignored.

Originally designed to clear space dust and debris, this tool is also very useful for destroying obstacles and all enemies that stand in its way.

As Lucy, who fell behind, got out of the car and took over the surrounding cameras, the members of the Random Swords Society discovered the attack at the first moment and began to organize a fierce counterattack.

The first to spit out flames was the MK.31 heavy machine gun produced by military technology.

However, Mann nimbly blocked the powerful bullet with his heavy shield. The bullet could only leave a tiny dent on the solid metal shield. The impact force generated by the collision was buffered by the artificial gravitational field generated by the kinetic energy module, and when it was transmitted to Mann's arm, it had turned into a gentle caress.

As for other pistol and rifle bullets, there is almost no reaction when they hit the shield.

Chapter 80 Big Big Cannon!!

"Sizzle~~"

[Annihilation] poured out a metal storm forward. As a heavy firepower, it was positioned as a fire suppression weapon. Jiang Bing had not considered accuracy at the beginning of its design. Therefore, its impact point distribution was a terrifying surface.

The automatic defense turret that was firing was submerged in the metal torrent spewed out by [Annihilation]. The all-metal turret seemed to have its own time suddenly accelerated. Just a few seconds seemed like ten thousand years. The tiny steel balls scraped off its flesh and bones bit by bit, and it was quickly weathered into powder, and finally disappeared without a trace.

The high-strength concrete bunker was also shattered along with the enemies hiding behind it under the erosion of thousands of small steel balls with every breath.

It is difficult for enemies killed by [Annihilation] to leave their bodies intact, as everything melts in the metal torrent.

bunker?

In the face of sheer firepower, your cover is as ridiculous as you are.

Mann blasted a shotgun-wielding enemy who was trying to attack from the side into pieces with one shot, creating a safe space for Dolio to output damage.

David and Lucy surrounded the two humanoid tanks, carried out infantry-tank coordination, and fired their guns continuously.

To be honest, it's a bit unfair to get here.

The [Heavenly Soldiers] and [Heavenly Generals], which are based on the work clothes principle of "Dead Space", can ensure that the wearer can move freely in space, and a small sandstorm will naturally have no effect.

However, these members of the Luan Dao Society did not have any high-tech combat uniforms to wear. After they rushed out of the abandoned factory where they were entrenched and came outdoors, they were constantly faced with the invasion of wind and sand.

They were basically blind, while the whistling air currents covered up all sounds on the battlefield, and the blowing sand reduced visibility to freezing point.

Some smart guys turned on the thermal scan of their artificial eyes, but guess whether the combat suits from the 25th century have thermal shielding function.

Despite these adverse effects, they still organized an effective counterattack, which is enough to show their value as troublemakers.

As Dolio exhausted the energy of an entire high-energy battery, the entire entrance was almost reduced to ruins.

Vehicles, containers, prefabricated houses, searchlights, and concrete bunkers were all pitted and dented by the torrent of metal that had rubbed against them. They were also covered with densely packed small steel balls, as if they had been gnawed by a dog, with pieces missing here and there.

And those locations that were targeted by concentrated fire had long been mixed with the yellow sand, making it impossible to distinguish them from each other.

【Qiwei: Mann, upstairs! 】

After receiving the reminder, Mann turned his shield in time before the other party opened fire, blocking a high-explosive bullet fired by a Type 05 sniper rifle.

Several smart bullets flew out from the barrel of David's newly acquired Shingen smart submachine gun. After fine-tuning and turning in the air, they accurately penetrated the sniper's skull. However, in order to achieve the directional tracking function, the smart bullets sacrificed their power, resulting in these shots failing to penetrate the enemy's modified metal skull.

However, as Lucy glared over, the opponent's ICE was broken by the puppet written by Lucy. The virus quickly completed its self-inspection and then locked the weakest left arm prosthesis.

David took the opportunity to fire a few more shots, and the bullets continued to bombard the enemy's vital points. After spending nearly half a magazine of bullets, the opponent was finally knocked to the ground.

It is true that smart weapons are easy to use and brainless, but they consume too much money. Under the same circumstances, a problem that can be solved by a few traditional bullets will require at least several times the amount of ammunition for smart weapons.

A round of smart ammunition is enough to buy more than a dozen traditional gunpowder bullets, but its power is only half or even less. This is why smart weapons can never replace traditional kinetic weapons.
