The so-called "referendum" is indeed just a show. When "Dogtown" was flattened by the army, the referendum in Night City can basically be declared over.

At this time, various companies have basically negotiated with "New America" ​​and they will no longer make trouble and prevent the return of Night City.

In fact, these companies are actually the real troubles that "New America" ​​has to face when taking over Night City.

As an independent city, Night City is coveted by various companies, and the previous manager "Arasaka" naturally accepts all investments. After all, they themselves are outsiders. The more foreign companies settle in, the more solid their rule will be, and the more power they will have to fight against "New America".

And this time, the "leader" Arasaka suddenly withdrew, and the defenseless companies had to face the front of "New America". This situation was too sudden, and they were not prepared at all.

At this moment, it is impossible to dispatch troops to fight to the death with "New America" ​​and defend the independence of Night City. So they can only protect the interests of the company first. As long as "New America" ​​guarantees their interests, they will support the return of Night City.

And Rosalind Miles has come to the gates of Night City for the second time. She is naturally prepared for how to deal with this situation. Everything must give way to unification first.

Therefore, the interests of the company are temporarily guaranteed. At least Rosalind Miles promised not to raid their home. As for the subsequent cooperation, we will talk about it later.

After negotiating with the company, the only enemy to be eliminated, "Dog Town", was destroyed. Everything went very smoothly. The army of "New America" ​​officially entered Night City and took over this big city that has been independent for many years.

In Northern California, the situation is similar. Only after negotiating with various local companies, "New America" ​​can enter Northern California peacefully. The companies stop resisting, and the government of Northern California can't stand it, so naturally there is no way to create trouble for "New America".

After the New America entered Night City and Northern California, the first thing to do was to replace a group of its own people.

And those leaders who advocated independence before naturally did not have a good ending. Although the New America could not directly take action against them in the case of peaceful recovery, it did not mean that they could not take action against them.

Soon, the former mayor of Night City, Lucius Lane, was investigated. Various charges were thrown at Lucius Lane, and they were not all groundless.

At least he did commit bribery, murder, selling out the interests of the city for personal gain, and making laws that favored companies.

And with these evidences, it was enough to sentence Lucius Lane to death, and it was easy, and it was the kind of death penalty that was broadcast live across the United States.

"Correctional Capital Co., Ltd." took over this death penalty. It is a company that specializes in this. Broadcasting death penalty across the United States is no longer a new thing. It is even a very mature industrial chain. At that time, there will be TV lotteries and so on. It is very colorful.

Lucius Lane, once a symbol of freedom and an independent hero, became a street rat in the blink of an eye, cursed by everyone, and his reputation was instantly reversed.

In early 2070, during the last "Unification War", the army of "New America" ​​arrived at the gates of Night City. Congressman Lucius Lane used his connections to directly invite the "Arasaka" company to repel the "New America" ​​people and preserve the independence of Night City. Later, Lucius Lane also successfully ran for mayor.

After he became mayor, Night City relied on the new international positioning of the "International Free City" and attracted large-scale investment, and prospered again, but this prosperity was not enjoyed by everyone, because the companies settled in Night City not to benefit the people, they just wanted to take a base in North America.

And Lucius Lane, the mayor, would not protect the rights and interests of the citizens of Night City. He only wanted to fill his pockets, and sold out the interests of Night City in exchange for bribes from the company. Those who disobeyed him would be secretly eliminated.

Therefore, many people feel happy about Lucius Ryan's arrest, and even feel that justice comes too late.

When Lucius Ryan was in office, many knowledgeable people accused the city hall of corruption and selling out the city's interests, but most of them were settled by the city hall.

Now, Lucius Ryan has finally suffered retribution, which is naturally very happy. People celebrated on the streets and said that they must draw a prize during the live broadcast of Lucius Ryan's execution. It would be even better if there were double happiness.

At this time, many people began to think that maybe returning to the "New America" ​​would not be bad?

"I didn't expect that Lucius Ryan would become a breakthrough to open the wall of people's hearts in Night City."

In the Next Life Bar, everyone was still discussing the concert, and when everyone got together, they naturally talked about the recent major events in Night City. Mayor Lucius Ryan and his cronies were liquidated, which was naturally the biggest thing recently.

In addition, there is actually a breaking news, that is, the invaders who once occupied "Dog Town" will be executed.

Some senior officials of Kurt Hansen and his lackeys "Hellhounds" were captured. Rosalind Miles naturally had no reason to keep them and directly sentenced them all to death.

Unfortunately, in Night City, this news was not as explosive as Lucius Lane's news, and not as eye-catching as Lucius Lane's news. Kurt Hansen, who wanted to squeeze into the upper social circle, also lost to others in the death penalty, and did not cause much waves in Night City.

"Lucius Lane deserved to die, and I have long disliked him."

Jack Wells said. As a Heywood native, they certainly have the position to say so. After all, Heywood has been troubled by the government. The new city hall is in Heywood, and Lucius Lane took office there. He has always wanted to purge Heywood and sell Heywood for a good price.

And the Valentino gang organized the Latinos to continue to resist, and they have been fighting against the city hall and corporate dogs in Heywood to resist their ambition to occupy Heywood.

"No one can guarantee that the next one will be better than Lucius Lane."

V complained, the world is black, will the next mayor definitely do better than Lucius Lane?

"If the company's problems are not solved, it will be the same no matter who comes."

Johnny Silverhand expressed his own views. The company is the source of everything. The mayor who does not cooperate will eventually be eliminated by the company. For example, Mr. Knight, the founder of Night City, was killed because he blocked the company's way.

"Maybe the rule of New America will be different?"

Sasha proposed a different idea. She didn't believe in "New America" ​​much. She was not familiar with Rosalind Miles, but she believed in Ke Ling. Ke Ling said that New America would be reformed and Rosalind Miles would bring something different.

"Who can say for sure?"

This topic was quickly ended. After all, it was Ke Ling's statement, and everyone couldn't question it. But under the influence of inertial thinking, they didn't believe it would really be useful.

Ke Ling didn't explain much. Whether the reform can work or not, and to what extent it can be changed, we still have to see the effect.

The topic was turned back to the concert. The war was over, and they could finally come out and grab the heat again. Night City was not hurt, but it was "defeated" after all. At this time, someone needed to stand up to boost morale and change the slightly depressed atmosphere of Night City.

"You can start the promotion, but the concert time must be staggered with Lucius Lane's live execution."

Ke Ling said while drinking coffee. No matter what, Lucius Lane is the mayor of Night City. He was also known as "independence hero" and "freedom symbol".

This guy's live execution is also very attractive, otherwise it would not be snatched up by the live execution company. It is estimated that it was sold at a good price. The recent publicity momentum is also very strong. It is not easy to compete with this guy for traffic.

"Finally, it can start."

Everyone was excited. The current "Samurai Band" is not short of money, fame, and connections. It has top stars, TV anchors, reporters, and Johnny Silverhand, a huge gimmick. It is too easy to heat up the atmosphere.

"."

Henry was very embarrassed to see everyone expressing their opinions and finding ways out. After all, he was the only one in the "Samurai Band" who was useless.

Dani glanced at Henry and ignored him. After confirming her mission, she left directly.

After the discussion, everyone soon dispersed and started to do their own things. In fact, Johnny Silverhand didn't have anything to do.

Before the concert, he didn't need to show up, but would be a gimmick until the concert started.

Cry Orodion, Danny, and Nancy would all announce that Johnny Silverhand would return, and the "Samurai Band" would reunite. They would throw out the news that Johnny Silverhand was still alive.

This can be said to directly maximize the traffic and people's expectations. There must be many people looking forward to the concert.

Even if you are not a fan of "Samurai", you will definitely be interested in Johnny Silverhand's "comeback", or "resurrection". After all, Johnny Silverhand's reputation is greater than that of "Samurai", and the "shocking explosion" has engraved him in the history of Night City.

As expected, under the promotion of the members of "Samurai", the entry "Johnny Silverhand's resurrection" instantly became a hot topic, and the whole Night City was shocked by the news.

That's Johnny Silverhand, who disappeared for more than 50 years, and now suddenly announced his comeback?

At this time when Night City is occupied by "New America", a former "anti-corporate hero" suddenly resurrected, which is a hot topic in itself, not to mention Johnny Silverhand, a rock boy full of controversy.

The hot discussion of "Johnny, take us to charge again" also became a hot topic, and even attracted the attention of the "New America" ​​officials, which is enough to show how hot the "Johnny Silverhand's resurrection" is.

"We will not stop it, and we will send people to maintain order."

In response, President Rosalind Miles, who was still staying in Night City, personally came forward to guarantee that the concert would proceed normally.

This still made the people of Night City relatively satisfied. Of course, that was all. The people of Night City were obviously tired of New America. After all, it was New America that let them down first.

After the nuclear explosion, New America gave up Night City. Night City could be what it is today and could rise again without relying on New America.

Rosalind Miles also understood this, so she used gentle methods against Night City. She first tried to change the attitude of the people in Night City to make them less resistant to the new America.

One of the ways to do this is to first take down the former mayor who is severely corrupt and deceitful. Especially since this guy also carries the title of "independence hero" and "symbol of freedom". This is simply killing two birds with one stone, and can also hit Night City. The idea of ​​independence.

Soon, the live broadcast of Lucius Lane's execution began, which naturally set a record-breaking rating in Night City, and the organizer "Correctional Capital Co., Ltd." naturally made a lot of money.

After the live broadcast of Lucius Lane's execution, the upcoming "Warrior Band Concert" became the only hot spot, and just as Jack and V had thought before, just the pre-sale of tickets was enough. It just sold like crazy.

In fact, not only the tickets, but also the venue where it was held were sold at sky-high prices. In order to compete for the right to host the event, major stadiums started bidding directly. Before the event even started, the "Martial Arts Band" was making a lot of money. This was their I didn't expect it at first.

"That's fucking crazy!"

Jack Wills complained. He really didn't expect this to be the case. The impact was much greater than they thought at the beginning. There was no way. This was the result of a variety of factors.

"This is the first game that has become so popular. Too many people are curious."

Ke Ling was actually a little surprised. Johnny Silverhand and Samurai Band definitely did not have this level of influence, even with Kerry Orodine, the "God of Rock" and "American Idol" Again, this is truly phenomenal influence.

"The popularity should last for a while. Anyway, Nancy is already planning to hold a few more shows. People are so enthusiastic that the tickets for the next few shows are all sold out."

V said, "You are a bastard who doesn't want to make money if you don't have money. You must seize such a huge popularity. Danni and Nancy, who are also working in their own jobs, also think so. It's not like they have too much money to use up. Let's open it up." After a few concerts, I won’t have to work hard for the rest of my life.

"It's normal. Who can resist this feeling that everyone is rushing to send money?"

Ke Ling didn't find it strange. Not to mention these two, even top stars like Kerry Orodine couldn't resist this flow of traffic. It seemed that the "Martial Arts Band" might really be able to survive. The team reunited for a while.
