from night city

Su Xiao's eyes passed through the police officers and looked at the airport behind them.

Although he can't see the situation inside now, the entrance and exit doors of the airport are indeed closed, and the huge display on the wall also shows "The airport has been closed. We apologize for the inconvenience and trouble caused to you." Such rolling subtitles.

Su Xiao thought for a while and said, "Can the airport reopen tomorrow?"

"This is not clear yet, so we can only tell you this."

Seeing that it was impossible to get any more information from these police officers, Su Xiao planned to get back to the car first.

"Well, thank you, officers, it looks like I'll have to find another job."

After waving goodbye to the Tijuana police officers, Su Xiao walked back to the SUV, opened the door and got in.

"How's the situation?" Jack asked impatiently. Others in the car, including Jose and Maria, also looked over expectantly.

"They said the airport was closed and the staff and pilots inside were evacuated."

Everyone was at a loss.

"Why? What happened?"

I originally thought that I could take a plane right away and go back to Night City.

But now I was told that the airport was closed and I had to stay in Tijuana.

No one can feel better.

"They don't know either."

"Can the airport be opened tomorrow?"

"They don't know either."

Jack's face showed obvious annoyance.

The atmosphere in the car seemed solemn.

At this time, Su Xiao suddenly pointed to a surveillance camera outside the terminal: "Lucy, have you seen the monitor over there?"

Lucy blinked, Qilusi's prosthetic eyes zoomed in to enlarge the distant scenery, and then she nodded: "I see it."

"Hack in and tell us what's going on inside."

"I see."

Lucy's eyes lit up with red light, and everyone else waited patiently.

It took several minutes for the light in Lucy's eyes to disappear.

"You are right, there is indeed no one in the airport."

"Did you see any signs of damage or explosions?"

Lucy shook her head and said, "No, I have checked all areas inside and outside the airport, and there are no signs of damage."

"That's weird."

Su Xiao originally thought that the airport was closed because of the emergence of terrorists or cyberpsychosis.

But if these are not available, then why is the airport still closed, and even the police are asked to block it?

Any store will try its best to stay open, because only when it is open will people come to shop.

If a "store" like an airport stops operating, it will cause huge economic losses.

The senior management of the airport and the Salamanca Group will understand this truth.

"Su," Jack glanced at Jose and Maria, who were sitting in the back row, sandwiched between V and Lucy. They didn't dare to speak for fear of disturbing them. He said in the communication channel, "Will you?

Is it related to them? "

Lidya Su also glanced at them quickly.

"It's not impossible."

If the Salamanca Group already knew that the hostages had escaped, then it would make sense for them to contact the Tijuana Police Department and ask them to block the airport.

After all, flying out of Tijuana is the quickest way.

And if this way is blocked, they can only drive away.

Although Tijuana is not far from San Diego, California, it is only 19 kilometers in total, and San Diego also has an airport, where they can fly back to Night City.

But Tijuana is a city in Mexico after all, and San Diego, California, belongs to the western states.

The two are blocked by a long barrier.

If you want to go to San Diego, you have to cross the border.

This is a lot less hassle than taking a plane directly in Tijuana.

Jack looked at the Tijuana police officers standing behind the blockade in the distance and asked, "Then what should we do now? Are we going to break through?"

Su Xiao immediately shook her head and rejected Jack's proposal.

"It's useless to break in. Of course these police officers can't stop us, but don't forget, there are only planes and no pilots in the airport. It's useless even if we rush in."

"Now, this is all we can do. We first go to find a motel outside the city. Places like motels generally do not register personal information, so even if we check in, we don't have to worry about people from the Salamanca Group looking for us. Come up."

"Then, let's... wait a moment. A question suddenly occurred to me. Why don't I call the pilot directly and ask about the situation?"

In Lidya Su's mind, an idea suddenly flashed out.

After they got off the plane and left the airport, the pilot assigned to them by Dante Gonzalez stayed on the plane and did not leave the plane.

The two parties also exchanged phone numbers in case of emergency.

Lidya Su had forgotten this just now, and only remembered it now.

If the pilot has been evacuated along with the airport staff, it would be best to call him to find out what's going on.

"Let me fight."

Two blue lights lit up in Jack's eyes.

"How about it?"

"Can't get through."

In this world of 2077, although mobile phones still occupy a place, more people are accustomed to using built-in communication implants.

The latter is not only convenient, but also more concealed.

In particular, mercenaries, field agents, and the military who often operate on the front line also prefer to use built-in communication implants.

That pilot also used this instead of a cell phone.

Now that Jack says he can't get through, there is only one possibility:

The pilot sent to them by Dante had been discovered by the Salamanca Group and brutally killed.

"Go, go now."

Su Xiao made a quick decision and overturned the previous plan to see the situation: "We are leaving Tijuana right now."

Although I don’t know how the Salamanca Group got the news - logically speaking, even if they found out that the hostages were missing after Su Xiao and others left, they shouldn’t have been able to pinpoint their escape route so quickly. take plane.

Just kidding, if the Salamanca Group was so powerful, they would have ruled the entire Mexico long ago. How could they still be just the king of Tijuana?

But no matter how the Salamanca Group knew the news, and how it was so efficient, it allowed the Tijuana police to close the airport...

All in all, it's no longer safe here.

They can't stay here any longer.

Jack was surprised and said: "Leave Tijuana? What do you mean..."

Lidya Su didn’t even think about it.

"We drove across the border to San Diego and from there we flew back to Night City."

Chapter 233 The sky is clear today (3K)

"But crossing the border requires formalities. We don't have valid documents. We will be caught at the border and there is no way we will be allowed to pass."

"Just look for the smuggler." Although Su Xiao has never been to Tijuana, he knows that at the border between California and Mexico, there have always been smugglers who make money by taking people across the border.

Although they do not have valid documents to go abroad, as long as they find the smuggler and give the smuggler a sum of money, they can cross the border like other stowaways.

As long as it crosses the border, it is no longer within the territorial scope of Mexico, and it also leaves the sphere of influence of the Salamanca Group.

Now that he had made up his mind, without further ado, Su Xiao immediately started the car, left the airport, and headed out of the city.

……

After driving some distance along the road out of the city, Su Xiao suddenly noticed that Jack, who was sitting next to him, frequently looked in the rearview mirror.

"Jack?"

"Su, have you noticed that there is something wrong with the white pickup truck behind you?"

Hearing this, Su Xiao also looked behind through the rearview mirror.

They saw a white pickup truck more than ten meters away from them, following them at a leisurely pace.

On the roofless cargo compartment behind the white pickup truck, a 7.62mm general-purpose machine gun was installed very arrogantly.

Not only that, the car was also filled with people armed with weapons.

If Su Xiao hadn't known that he was

Mexico, if you don’t know, you think this is Afghanistan.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Jose nervously leaned against the window of the back seat and looked back. After seeing the white pickup truck behind him, his face suddenly turned pale: "Are we being assassinated?" Has La Manca Group discovered it?”

His girlfriend Maria, who was huddled together with him, was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

Lidya Su's face also became a little uncomfortable.

His eyes glanced at the fork road not far ahead. When he was about to approach the fork road, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and steered the SUV towards the fork road.

More than ten seconds later, the white pickup truck following behind also turned into this fork in the road.

Jose and Maria's expressions became even more ugly.

And Su Xiao was also sure that the white pickup truck behind was coming towards them.

Jack also realized this: "Damn, the people from the Salamanca Group came so fast."
