from night city

But the shaking legs and his expression at the moment.

All revealed the irritability in his heart.

Seeing this, Lidya Su suddenly thought of an idea, "Jack, do you want to make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?" Jack became interested.

"If you win, I'll pay for your drinks for a month."

"Su, you finally made some money, you..."

"It doesn't matter. If you run out of money, you can make it again."

"Now that you say so...hehe, Su, you will regret it." Jack rubbed his hands, as if he was already imagining that he would drink alcohol every day for the next month.

You can tell what Jack is thinking just by looking at the beaming expression on his face.

But Lidya Su didn’t expose it either.

"Then what if you lose?"

"Losing? How is it possible? It doesn't exist."

Jack felt he had a great advantage.

Su Xiao is a wanderer.

I have only been in Night City for a few days.

Can a native like him understand it deeply?

joke.

No one knows NCPD better than me.

"If I lose, I will eat your laptop on the spot."

As soon as Jack finished speaking, he heard the sound of police sirens below.

Chapter 23 If the NCPD dares to come, I will eat this computer on the spot!

One police car after another roared towards the Whole Foods factory.

At least there are dozens of them.

Maybe all the police from Night City will come.

A large number of police cars were divided into two teams.

One team went straight to the main gate, and the other team went around the back.

Countless police officers wearing bulletproof vests and armed with firearms got out of their cars and used police cars as cover to surround the Whole Foods factory.

Following the police car were several black vans.

After arriving at the destination, no one got out of these vans, but the carriages opened to both sides, like flower buds in full bloom.

What got off the black van was the walking mecha that NCPD purchased from Military Technology at no expense.

The three to five meter tall mecha was completely black and exuded cold murderous intent.

"Fire in the hole!"

The walking mecha fired grenades one after another, blowing open the door of the Whole Foods factory.

"GOGOGO!"

Police officers poured in like a tide and engaged in a fierce gun battle with members of the Vortex Gang inside the Whole Foods factory.

The sound of gunfire and fire can be clearly transmitted even from such a distance.

However, the NCPD has serious walking mechas, and grenades and Gatlings are constantly pouring out. The Uzumaki Gang lacks heavy firepower. Even if they are drugged and not afraid of death, they will only suffer heavy casualties.

On the viaduct, Jack looked confused.

He couldn't think of anything.

Why did these guys from the NCPD suddenly change their temper?

Is this the wrong medicine?

……

Brick took several of his cronies and finally escaped from the secret passage.

Fortunately, the exit of the secret passage is located on another street next to the Whole Foods Factory.

Even though the NCPD has surrounded the Whole Foods factory, it's still safe.

Near the exit of the secret passage, there is a car specially used for escape.

Brick and others got in the car and sped towards the Dance of Death Bar, another stronghold of the Whirlpool Gang.

In the car, Brick punched the window.

He really couldn't figure it out.

He spends a lot of money on NCPD every month.

How could NCPD take care of itself?

The more Brick thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more angry he became.

Finally, I simply called the informant in the NCPD.

Only then did we finally learn that the driver who was delivering goods to the Whole Foods factory was caught at the border inspection station, which triggered what happened next.

Moreover, the NCPD chief originally planned to treat Brick with courtesy first and then fight with him.

But this is a tough request from the mayor.

The director had no way to refuse.

The director of the NCPD is different from the director of the border inspection station.

The latter belongs to military technology and can nominally give the mayor some face.

But if a choice needs to be made between the company and the city hall, the webmaster will not hesitate to stand with the company.

But the NCPD chief is different. He is directly under the control of the city hall.

I definitely don’t dare to secretly make small moves when Mayor Ryan is paying the most attention.

After making the call, Brick asked, "Who hired that driver?"

A close confidant next to him replied: "Kirk, the one from Heywood, the middleman who has a very unsatisfactory life."

"F*ck! I damn well know that bastard is unreliable! Kirk, right? Bastard, you're dead!"

Brick's spider-like prosthetic eyes flashed with a dangerous red light.

……

"Okay, the show is over, let's go back and tell Pepi the news. He won't have to worry about Kirk anymore."

Su Xiao saw gunshots coming from the direction of the Whole Foods factory.

It gradually stopped, and I knew that the battle inside was probably almost over.

After all, the NCPD even brought walking mechas over, and it was another raid...

The Uzumaki Gang was caught off guard. Whole Foods Factory is a workshop for processing food and sparkling food, not a military fortress. It's surprising that it can withstand it.

As for the division of gangs in the city, Su Xiao learned a little bit about it from Jack.

Know that the Whole Foods plant is Brick's turf.

That is Kirk's employer.

Su Xiao was not worried about what would happen if Brick died in the Whole Foods factory.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Brick dies or not.

Even if he does die, someone will take over.

As for Kirk, it wasn't just Brick who was tricked, but the Maelstrom Gang.

This account will not be forgotten if the boss is changed.

If he had been better informed, he would have taken the bucket and run away by now.

For Kirk, his best days are yet to come.

Compared with the big trouble that is the Uzumaki Gang, Pepi's debt is nothing.

As long as the Whirlpool Gang still exists, Kirk will never dare to show his face again.

At that time, even if he really dares to go to the Wild Wolf Bar again, it will not be Pepi begging him for a few days of grace, but it will be his turn to beg Pepi not to report to the Uzumaki Gang.

……

On the way back, Su Xiao asked Jack to help her find an apartment.

Living in Jack's garage all the time is not a problem.

Jack's garage has no windows, and the rolling shutter door of the garage is closed (given the shocking public security situation in Night City, I dare not leave it open), and it is stuffy and hot.

And there are still so many people, all crowded into the small garage.

Anyway, I have some money on hand now, which should be enough to pay the rent for a few months.

"It doesn't matter if the house is older, but it needs to be on a higher floor and clean. I don't want to be around garbage."

Night City is full of high-rise buildings. If you want a better view, you have to live on a high floor.

Otherwise, if you open the window, your view will be tightly blocked by the houses next door and opposite, just like the Kowloon Walled City, it will be very depressing.

"Okay, just take care of this little thing, buddy."

Jack agreed wholeheartedly.

Then, he said with a bitter look on his face.

"Well, about what I said before, about losing the bet..."

Lidya Su didn't seem to care and said, "Jack, we were just joking, you won't take it seriously."

"It turned out to be a joke, hahaha, yes, Su, you are really good at joking."
