Chapter 50 Rescue (Happy New Year~)

"An unlucky corporate dog was kidnapped by a group of idiots who didn't know where they came from. They demanded a ransom of 1 before they would let him go."

In the Thracian car, Jack Wells told Ke Ling and V about the general situation of the mission.

"This family is very generous. They give 50 to live and 000 to die. Do you think they want to live or die?"

Ke Ling found it a bit puzzling. If you want to see someone alive or dead, don't you usually make a request when you can't find someone?
  Now that the target is still alive and well in the hands of the kidnappers, the family has already offered a death price, which is really a bit too generous.

"It's normal. If you can't pay the ransom, neither the company nor the NCPD will care about you, and your chances of surviving will drop by 80%.

In this case, they can only try it with people like us. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, they can recover the body. "

V looked familiar and casually explained that she could completely understand the family's brain circuit.

"No matter what, it's better than having all the corpses sold to scavengers, right?"

Jack Wills added, it was magical.

It is not an easy thing to live in Night City. This family can at least have the savings to try. More people encounter this kind of thing but are unable to do anything.

"Jack, the kidnapper sent us the meeting point."

The priest sent a location to Jack Wills. He was still the middleman for this mission, which is why Jack Wills took it happily.

"Get ready to work."

Jack Wills started the car and headed towards the junction. The map showed it to be an abandoned factory.

Like the industrial area in the north of the city, abandoned factories abound in the river valley area, but the reasons for their abandonment vary.

The Santo Domingo district where the River Valley district is located is the oldest district in Night City. It has survived several wars and has always played the role of a refuge for disaster victims.

After the major reconstruction, the victims moved away one after another, and the area became an urban industrial park and power plant.

The river valley area is the industrial core area of ​​Santo Domingo. It is still under construction and has only begun to develop rapidly in the past few years.

In 2069, after the Metal War, Arasaka returned to Night City. They occupied the port in Watson District, enclosed a piece of land, and built the Arasaka Beach for Arasaka's own use.

The entire Watson District was disturbed by Arasaka, and the industrial area in the north of the city, which was originally troubled by gang activities, also declined rapidly.

There was no choice but to move south, to the river valley area, to rebuild their factories.

The old factories in the river valley area were demolished, and new factories were built one after another. Construction sites were everywhere, and it was a bustling scene.

But not all corporate investments can be profitable. There are still quite a few facilities here that have not yet been completed. Some are unfinished before they are completed, and some have gone bankrupt and are waiting to be taken over.

And these abandoned or unfinished factories have naturally become places where all kinds of evil spirits and monsters hide, among which the Sixth Street Gang controls the vast majority.

"Is it possible that someone from the Sixth Street Gang did it?"

V asked, she was a little worried. If it was really someone from the Sixth Street Gang who did it, then the difficulty of this mission would skyrocket.

The Six Street Gang's combat effectiveness is quite good. Their team includes veterans, former police officers, and former corporate security agents. The gang members have basically received quite professional training.

Moreover, they also have weapons smuggling channels and are equipped with good equipment. Otherwise, they cannot replace the NCPD in the security management of Santo Domingo District.

"I don't know. The client didn't say it, and the robbers didn't say it either, but those bastards do often do things like kidnapping and extortion."

Jack Wills complained that in his eyes, the Sixth Street Gang were just a bunch of bastards who did all kinds of evil, and they didn't have a good image anyway.

"Whoever they are, we'll leave as soon as we're done." Ke Ling didn't agree with Jack Wills' words, not because he had a good impression of the Sixth Street Gang.

In fact, Ke Ling didn't have a good impression of all the gangs in Night City, except for the "Mox Gang".

The Six Street Gang is certainly not a good thing, after all, it has essentially transformed from a neighborhood vigilante group into a criminal gang.

Robbery, extortion, protection money collection, vehicle theft, and arms smuggling. The Six Street Gang, which was once committed to protecting the people, is now no different from those gangs that bully the weak in the community.

There's nothing wrong with Jack Wills's opinion, but that doesn't mean that the Valentino Gang, who doesn't have to deal with the Sixth Street Gang, is a good thing.

The conflict between these two gangs, on the one hand, is to grab territory, on the other hand, it is a business conflict. Basically, they can be said to be the same.

A group of three people drove all the way to their destination. They stopped outside the gate of an abandoned factory because the searchlight on the factory gate was shining on them.

"Come to pay?"

Behind the gate, which was like a steel fence, a man in flashy clothes asked. He had a gun in his hand and pressed his hand on the chain of the gate.

"That's right, redeem people."

Jack Wells answered, trying his best to hide his Latino accent.

"It doesn't look like he's from the Sixth Street Gang."

V muttered softly, this man's dressing style didn't match the Sixth Street Gang, and he had no characteristics of the Sixth Street Gang at all.

Combat boots, combat vests, knee pads, overalls, and baseball caps printed with the old American flag, stars, stripes and eagles are the standard equipment of the Six Street Gang.

"Get out of the car and come in alone."

The man did not open the door, but raised his gun and looked at the Thrace in front of him warily. This car was not easy to deal with.

"Let me go, I just got new equipment."

The three people in the car looked at each other, and Ke Ling said first that compared with these two people, he who had just changed to new equipment was naturally the most suitable.

Jack Wells and V did not argue. After all, if something happened, Ke Ling, who was newly equipped with subcutaneous armor, would have a higher chance of escaping than they did.

Ke Ling opened the door and got out of the car. At this time, there were two more people at the door. This group of robbers seemed to be quite crowded.

"Hands up, no weapons allowed."

The robber opened the door and made a small gap for one person to pass. All three guns were pointed at Ke Ling.

"Okay, take it easy, guys, I don't have any weapons on me."

Ke Ling raised his hand, and as he spoke, he slowly walked to the door and entered the factory.

Although you can get 30 for finding a dead person in this mission, it may not take so much effort to complete the mission.

But whether it is from the perspective of interests or from the perspective of personal hearts, Ke Ling and the three of them plan to try their best to save the hostages.

Saving one person and getting an extra 20 is definitely worth a try.

　Happy New Year to everyone~!
