Chapter 170: Mann Team's Concerns

Night City, Japantown, TURBO Restaurant.

When I woke up early in the morning, I saw a live battle broadcast. Mann was worrying with his brothers in the team that they might not be able to get Sian Westenstein, so they had to pay a deposit.

Just when I was having a headache, Gloria called me.

What could Mann say? Of course he wanted to agree at first, but after hanging up the phone, Mann fell silent again.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly silent?" Mann's partner and lover Dolio asked in confusion: "Who sent the message just now? From the looks of you, it seems that you have encountered some difficult problems?"

"...Do you still remember Sian Westin?"

"...I remember." After hearing Mann mention Sian Westin, Dolio's face showed a hint of helplessness, and he consoled:
"You saw the live broadcast of the battle this morning. That guy named Armstrong is clearly beyond our ability to deal with in terms of both strength and spirit. Since Gloria has already established a relationship with that guy, let's just ignore him for now. At least, losing a deposit is better than losing your life."

Dolio is well aware of his own personality as a dwarf. As the leader of a cyberpunk mercenary team, he is trusted by many people. Naturally, he also has a lot of psychological pressure and anxiety. Therefore, he is particularly eager for power, and looks forward to raising the upper limit of the entire team through the growth of power, so that his life can achieve a class leap.

However, having seen Armstrong's terrifying power, Dolio knew very well that his team was not even as good as the Terrorist Squad, and had no chance of winning against a monster that could tear an entire legion apart head-on on its own.

"We are not the army of some big company. We don't have the capital to gamble. If Gloria really turns against us, then that guy named Armstrong doesn't even need to do anything. Those big companies and middlemen will help him get rid of us just to make friends with him."

"You know, the connections of a monster like this are much more valuable than the lives of low-level people like us."

"I know, but the situation is different this time, otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up again." Mann shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Gloria wants to give me Sian Westin and ask me to go to Saint Domingo to find her."

"...There is such a thing?" Dolio said in surprise: "What are the conditions? For example, taking the opportunity to raise the price?"

"No, but I was asked to bring Lucy and Rebecca as well."

"Lucy and Rebecca?...That sounds like a strange request."

Hearing this, Dolio frowned in confusion and asked, "Are you sure this is what Gloria asked for? Then why did he call Lucy and Rebecca? They probably haven't met before, right? After all, in order for his son to go to school well, all the transactions before this were conducted in secret."

"I don't know either...so I'm worried too."

"Then go ask Rebecca and the others?" "Let's try." Mann said - he didn't want to give up on Sian Westin after all. A high-level military prosthesis of this level is a shortcut that can make a second-rate mercenary team directly become a first-rate one. He has been wasting too long on this road, and Mann doesn't want to give up this precious opportunity.

After asking Rebecca for her opinion, she heard Gloria wanted them to go, but Rebecca didn't react. She felt it was no big deal and just went. Lucy decided to stay put for the time being after a brief silence.

"You guys go first. I'll check on your situation. And you and Rebecca can go. Dolio and I will wait outside. This way it will be easier to rescue if something unexpected happens."

"I agree with Lucy's idea." Qiwei, the official hacker in the team, agreed with Lucy's idea and said in the team voice: "If we go together, we will be easily ambushed. Lucy and I are hackers, not frontal combat personnel. Also, don't forget to prepare Falco, so that even if something goes wrong, we can retreat in time."

"Okay, then it's decided."

After a brief discussion of tactics, Mann's team quickly drove to the apartment complex in Santo Domingo.

Looking at the broken walls and ruins that came into view, everyone present couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

There were no need to mention the broken walls and ruins, but more importantly, there were a lot of people here. A large number of people who originally lived nearby, or even lived in apartment buildings, were nearby, watching what was happening inside. From time to time, quarrels and violent conflicts would break out among the crowd. It was not because of anything else, but because there were a lot of body parts scattered in the ruins.

Although the Six Street Gang's artillery and prosthetic doctors arrived earlier and took away a lot of guns and prosthetics because they had met Armstrong, there were still many remaining guns and prosthetics. Each of these prosthetics from the international security experts of the trauma team was worth a lot of money.

Maybe the rich will look down on it, but for the lower class people living in the Santo Domingo district, if they pick up one, they will have enough food and clothing for the next month or so.

"Damn, it looks like it was hit by a missile. There's not even a flat area left. So how are we going to get in? This road doesn't look like it's easy to walk on."

"It's better not to get any closer to the car. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we will definitely be blocked from leaving."

Falco said helplessly: "If something really happens, driving in this road condition will only have the opposite effect. If you brake suddenly or turn a corner, the car and the person may fall over together."

"..." After hearing Falco's words, Mann scratched his head helplessly, then got out of the car and looked at a low-level man who was turning over bricks to see if he could see some advanced prosthetics and said:
"Why are you all here? Why don't you go in a little further? Aren't there a lot of prosthetics in there?"

Mann could clearly see that these scavengers kept a considerable distance from the core area of ​​the battlefield near the apartment building. And right next to you, there were many corpses lying in all directions. There were even many smart guns from Kangtao. With the automatic enemy detection function, it is no exaggeration to say that these guns can be sold at a high price of thousands of euros if they are put outside.

The scavenger didn't want to talk nonsense, but then he saw an extra fifty euros in his account, his eyes lit up, and he said:
"No, it's impossible. Some people tried to get through before, but they were killed by the Valkyrie that fell from the sky! I don't know what kind of prosthetic body it was, but it moved so fast that you couldn't even see its shadow!"
