The Creators: From Night City

After a while.

The culprit who caused chaos in Night City peeked out from a small alley with a strong sense of stealth. After confirming that no one was around, he got into the Goodla 66-type 640 TS that Mann had recently purchased and drove away.

As for Jiang Bing's Mackinaw Larrimore, Gloria drove away as soon as the fight started.

…………

Night City encountered a sandstorm that occurs once in a century.

The east wind blowing from the Badlands brought with it a huge amount of sand and gravel, covering the entire Night City in a yellow sand curtain.

However, the number of pedestrians on the road is still not small. Apart from the cattle and horses running around for their livelihood, there are also many more NCPD patrol officers than before.

With the shelter of tall buildings, the wind and sand did not have much impact on pedestrians' travel, but it was a bit difficult for Jiang Bing to travel, especially with his typical red windbreaker, which was very eye-catching.

This forced him to change his appearance to [Power-Chiyou] and even added a smock over the conspicuous red color.

But he seriously underestimated the outrageousness of Night City.

Haywood, the southern Valley Beltway exit, midway along Pipeline Street.

On the radio screen at the bus stop on the street, Jiang Bing’s brilliant victory two days ago was being broadcasted.

"Regarding this conflict, our station has learned from an NCPD insider that it was caused by two teams of Edgewalkers who unprovokedly attacked an NCPD team on normal duty, which led to the subsequent escalation of the conflict."

"Whether the suddenly appearing variable red nano armor is a new product from Arasaka or a military technology laboratory, we don't know, but the attacker's iconic retro red long trench coat has set off a retro trend in the fashion world."

Jiang Bing thought that this was a serious news program, but he was foolishly surprised to see a sudden advertisement.

On the screen, a red windbreaker that was almost a one-to-one replica was worn by a model, who was performing various shameful and immature actions in a very formal manner. In order to achieve a high degree of restoration, he even wore a cane.

With the slogan "Put it on and become the next brave warrior to sweep away the terrorist squad", it's unknown what others think, Jiang Bing just feels extremely annoyed.

Good, good, good! , it really is money first, capitalism.

"These days, everyone is trying to sell products in some way."

But you know what, the sales are really good.

You can actually see people wearing the same clothes in groups of three or four on the street.

Just when Jiang Bing was thinking about whether he should find a way to collect some copyright fees, a bus disguised as an unmanned passenger car stopped at the platform, the door opened, and Jiang Bing got on the bus calmly.

The people in the car were not passengers from Night City, but fully armed [Anti-Entropy] armed forces.

Mann and Dolio were wearing [Heavenly General], [Annihilation], and a thick shield placed on one side.

David, Lucy, Pyrrha, and Qiwei were wearing their respective [Heavenly Soldiers] combat uniforms, organizing their weapons and getting ready for battle.

Only Rebecca was still fiddling with her hastily made pocket-sized version of "Heavenly Soldiers".

Because of time constraints, she only got the dress before getting on the bus, and it was a rare sight at the moment.

According to each person's individual prosthetic assembly, the layout of the corresponding combat uniform also needs to be slightly adjusted.

For example, Mann is equipped with a projectile arm and Lu's suit has a monomolecular thread, so the arm parts of the two combat uniforms need to be additionally modified so that they can be used synchronously with the prosthesis.

As for Rebecca, the standard size was not available and she needed to have it altered.

This time, the elite forces of [Anti-Entropy] are mobilized in full force.

But it was not Falco who was driving, but V. Vincent.

He had just fallen out with his own family, and the current leader of the Buckle family wanted to merge the entire family into the Snake State. V. Vincent and some wanderers opposed this.

After the family's true end, he simply left the family and joined [Anti-Entropy] to engage in smuggling.

Now he has become the backbone of the logistics and transportation department.

Now, the young man was looking around anxiously.

It's nothing, the guns and cannons of the crowd are nothing, the main thing is that the "ore cracker" in the back half of the bus is really too terrifying.

Anyone who sees this thing knows it's illegal.

Mann fiddled with the RIG on his wrist, checked the time on the datapad, and asked aloud.

"V, is your friend reliable?"

Chapter 144 Jack Wells

The young man immediately promised.

"Jack never breaks his promise, and with the priest guaranteeing it, don't worry."

While the two were talking, a very distinctive roar of a motorcycle suddenly reached everyone's ears.

The sound is very unique, soft and dense, seemingly weak, coming from far away.

Easy to ride 150.

This series of fart sounds, like someone who had eaten a lot of soybeans and was about to poop, easily awakened Jiang Bingchen's forgotten memories.

A burly figure huddled on a small motorcycle split the curtain of yellow sand and entered everyone's sight.

"arrive"

V quickly opened the window, but was covered in dust by the sand that rushed in.

"Jack, here."

The other party threw the motorcycle, which was basically an iron frame, to the side of the road and walked towards the bus.

"Hola a todos (hello everyone), this weather is really bad."

Jack, with a bun hairstyle, got in the car and greeted everyone in a familiar manner. His sturdy body was comparable to Mann's.

If the bus wasn't spacious enough, everyone would have felt cramped the moment he got on.

He first nodded to V, then looked up and looked around the car.

He was stunned by the fully armed crowd, the obviously oversized heavy guns and high-end combat uniforms.

“!Hala!”

Realizing that a gaffe might make him appear unprofessional, Jack immediately tried to make light of his previous performance with a joke.

"Everyone's pretty well prepared, huh?"

V, who was in the driver's seat, introduced himself to everyone.

"Jack Wells, my good friend, the local boss of Heywood."

No matter how socially awkward Jack was, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed under the gaze of so many eyes.

Jack was unusually modest. "Well, I just grew up in Haywood and was involved with the Valentino gang for a few years. I'm not really a local boss."

"Then you are all members of [Anti-Entropy]." His eyes moved across everyone's high-tech combat uniforms, and finally stopped at the leader Jiang Bing.

He was the only one wearing all black, covering himself tightly, standing out from the crowd.

"Sabul."

"Jack Wilson, an excellent mercenary."

Jiang Bing looked at the familiar face in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.

"Did Sebastian Ibarra tell you all the details?"

When it comes to commissioned business, Jack immediately adopts a professional attitude.

"The priest told me that he would take you to the seaside villa area in Meiquan District first, and then take you out of the city and solve all the troubles along the way, right?"

"It's mainly NCPD's trouble." Jiang Bing added.

Jack's eyes lingered on the people's cameras.

"indeed."

"Don't worry, the priest has taken care of everything, we just need to go."

The Valentino Gang has been entrenched in Haywood for decades, and the priest first joined the Valentino Gang and then became a middleman. In the Haywood district, whether it is the gang or the NCPD, he has a say and can get things done.

As expected, the bus kept stopping and starting in the thick yellow sand, but no NCPD came to check it out.

"This sandstorm is really big. I don't know when it will end."

Jack was looking for trouble on the way and took the initiative to speak up to start a conversation.

He is just like that, he can't sit still.

But Mann and others were doing pre-war inspections and no one responded.

Jack chuckled.

"almost"

Jiang Bing took the initiative to answer.

In order to avoid suspicion, he did not bring his own cane, but only brought a revolver. After checking it, he put it back into the armpit holster of the combat uniform that [Power-Chiyou] had transformed into.

Of course, this combat uniform is also red.

"Speaking of which, are you going there to seek revenge?"

"I'm going to collect a debt." Jiang Bing pulled out who knows how many single-molecule samurai swords there were, and after carefully checking the condition of the weapons, he put them back into the sheath.

The [Kenshiri-adachi Armament] samurai sword, which is strong enough to cut gold and jade, is like a consumable item in Jiang Bing's hands, and its service life does not exceed one month.

"All the people living there are rich people," Jack sighed.

“And of course, there are people with power.”

After a pause, Jack gave his final summary.

"In short, they are all big shots."

The Meiquan District is located on the western coast of Night City. Although the ocean is completely unsuitable for living creatures, it does not hinder the value of seaside villas.

This level of residence is not something you can get just by having money. You have to be powerful or extremely wealthy to own your own detached villa in the city center where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

Although generally speaking, power is equivalent to money, the two are inseparable.

Hal East, the largest director of East Construction Company, lives here.

His information is not difficult to find, at least it is easier to find than the new coward who took over the biotechnology food department.

Gloria didn't even contact Rogge, but found Haywood's priest and found out all the information about this bastard.

Hal East, male, from Atlanta, thirty years old, the illegitimate son of City Councilman Stewart Jakojan.

His mother is Ste Giacojan's sister, her biological sister, Leni Giacojan.

Lainie Giacoran married her ex-husband Durant East decades ago, and not long after they started their happy marriage, Hal East was born.

The unfortunate cuckold king died under unclear circumstances before he could be happy for two days, leaving behind a large fortune that went to the widowed Lainie East.

Soon after, Ste Giacoran was waving large sums of euros and successfully joining the ranks of politicians.

You taste, you taste carefully.

I can only say that the city is full of tricks.

"The houses here are so beautiful." Rebecca exclaimed as she looked at the various villas passing by the car.

"Why have I never noticed this before?"

“Because you probably only wanted to see pizza and noodles, Dama (Ms.)”

Jack started a conversation, he was the type of person who would not let anything fall on the ground.

"arrive."

Driver V gave a voice reminder.

"Let me repeat again, the other party has hired professional security from Arasaka, so please be careful." Mann repeated to his team members.

Dolio sneered twice, "It seems someone is guilty of something."

"Qiwei, Lucy, seal off the battlefield, and the rest of you, prepare for a strong attack."

Everyone picked up their own tools and closed the helmets of their combat uniforms.

"Remember, we only have three minutes from the time the alarm sounds until we retreat."

Everyone nodded in unison, and stepped through the open car door into the wind and sand.
