from night city

Maria's eyes suddenly widened, and a blood line appeared on her neck. A large amount of blood rushed out of the blood line, and soon dyed her neck and chest red.

Her left hand, which was originally wrapped around Jose's neck, couldn't help but let go and instinctively covered her own neck.

At this moment, Su Xiao let go of her right hand and dragged Jose, who was still dazed and unresponsive, back a few steps.

To prevent Maria's blood from splattering on him.

Maria covered her neck. She stretched out her hand towards Jose, but the latter subconsciously shrank back.

Maria stumbled and finally fell on her back.

She was like a fish that had landed on the beach, twitching and struggling on the ground, and her blood quickly stained the ground beneath her red.

Finally, Maria stopped moving.

Her eyes were still looking in Jose's direction.

She is dead.

From the tactical eyepiece, the scan confirmed that Maria was dead.

Only then did Su Xiao let go of Jose, letting the latter run to Maria's side and kneel down to cry.

Jack looked at Maria's eyes that had lost their luster and sighed.

"I didn't expect that it would be her calling and texting the Salamanca Group to report our location."

"Then shall we return to Night City now?"

Su Xiao shook his head: "Didn't I just say that? If we don't get rid of the Salamanca Group, our troubles will be endless."

"Are you really going back to Tijuana?" Jack, V and Lucy looked at each other, "I thought that was just for Maria, the traitor."

V asked: "Su, are you really sure?"

"I already have an idea. In fact, we don't need to destroy the entire Salamanca Group. It is Hector Salamanca who advocates revenge and retaliation against us. As long as he dies, the Salamanca Group's Will the successor not continue to bite us?"

Jack was stunned for a moment: "Why? If the priest dies, no matter who killed the priest, no matter where he escapes and hides, I will definitely chase him to the ends of the world."

It's not that he didn't learn anything from the priest, but he felt incredible.

If the boss dies, then the next boss who is designated as the successor by the boss will avenge the previous boss. Is this not surprising?

Unless the successor is a white-eyed wolf.

But the problem is, if the successor is Bai Yanlang, how can Bai Yanlang be chosen as the successor?

It is said that those who are obsessed with the authorities know clearly that V is in a different position from Jack, so she can jump out and answer Jack's questions.

"This is different, Jack. The priest is very good to you and takes good care of you, so you have the idea of ​​seeking justice for the priest. This is normal, but the Salamanca Group is a group driven by money and interests. .”

"Didn't Mr. Gonzalez say it before? In the past few years, Hector Salamanca has become more and more unpopular. He has alienated his subordinates and organizations so that they will not have the idea of ​​revenge for Hector."

Lidya Su also nodded, agreeing with V's statement.

"V is right. As long as we kill Hector, the newly appointed group boss will only be able to win people's hearts and say a few words to show off."

"But I will never continue to send killers on the premise of harming my own interests. After all, as long as the new boss is not stupid, he will never rashly offend his predecessor who can kill him."

"If you want to kill Hector, count me in!"

At this moment, an angry roar attracted the attention of four people.

Everyone turned their heads, but they saw Jose wiping away his tears with an angry look on his face: "Mr. Su, please let me join you. I want to avenge Maria with my own hands!"

"This is absolutely impossible," Su Xiao shook her head. Even if Jose stared at her with angry eyes, Su Xiao remained firm and unmoved, "You are the employer's son. Our mission goal is this trip. We I won’t put you in danger.”

Jose gritted his teeth and said, "No one can stop me! Not even you!"

Su Xiao said calmly: "No, I can. You have been quite honest along the way, so I have no objection to you, but if you insist on seeking death..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xiao's figure disappeared from Jose's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a burst of electricity, Jose felt a tingling sensation on the nerve socket in the back of his neck.

Later, he was shocked to find that his body

His body was out of his control, and now he couldn't even open his mouth to speak, let alone move a finger.

If you lose control of your body, you will naturally be unable to stand any longer.

Jose fell forward involuntarily, but was caught by Su Xiao and stuffed into the back seat of a pickup truck.

Jose wanted to ask Su Xiao what he had done to him, but he couldn't control his lips and tongue at all, and he couldn't make any sound.

But Su Xiao, who saw what Jose was thinking, answered the doubts that troubled Jose before closing the car door.

"This is a blocker. In short, it is a cyber tool that can block the human body's electronic brain and issue instructions to the body."

"You can rest assured that this thing is harmless to the human body. If you have to make a similar analogy, it is actually similar to the silver bracelets (handcuffs) issued by the state."

The other three people watched helplessly what Su Xiao did to Jose.

They didn't stop.

It was only when Su Xiao closed the car door and returned to them that Jack shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Jose is going to be mad. When he goes back, he will most likely complain to his father."

Lidya Su spread her hands.

"He won't do this. I'm not harming him, but saving his life. Of course, if he can't even see this, then it's his father who should worry, not me."

"In the long history of Siris, there have been many foolish kings who did not distinguish between right and wrong, loyalty and evil, and the fate of these foolish kings was basically not much better."

“If a person doesn’t even have the most basic ability to distinguish right from wrong, then it’s useless even if he graduates from New York University, and it’s useless even if his family has dozens or hundreds of branches for him to inherit. Sooner or later, he will be defeated by himself. It’s a waste of time.”

"However, this is beyond the scope of our discussion. Now, let me assign tasks."

"V, Lucy, you follow me back to Tijuana. Jack, take Jose and drive towards the City of Night. Don't stay when you encounter cities along the way. Food and accommodation will be in the wilderness until you arrive at the City of Night. city."

"There is a small town outside the bad land south of Night City. That town is very close to Night City. When you arrive, don't enter Night City yet. Just stay in the hotel in that town and wait for us. After finishing my work, I’ll go over and meet you.”

Jack didn't say, "I'm going with you," but instead said, "I got it."

Someone had to take Jose, and Jack knew that.

And since Su Xiao named him and not anyone else, Jack believed that Su Xiao must have his own reasons.

So I said no more and accepted this task.

Chapter 244: When a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, he shoots him in the back (3K)

In Tijuana, there is a long table in a secret stronghold room of the Salamanca Group. The main seat of the long table is empty, but the two sides are full of people.

These people are all well-known leaders within the group. No matter what they do in Tijuana, even officials from the Tijuana City Hall must act based on their faces.

They say that if there is light, then there will never be a place in Tijuana that cannot be illuminated.

But just such a group of big shots at the apex of power in Tijuana are looking sad and restless at the moment.

Silence is like a thick fog that lingers.

Finally, after a long while, one of the leaders hit the table hard and said angrily.

"Is Hector crazy? He actually sent a killer to San Diego. What does he want to do? Does he want to provoke the anger of the western states?"

The other leader disagreed: "What are you afraid of? The troops from the western states may not dare to cross the border. Even if they guess that we did it, do they have evidence?"

The leader who spoke first glared when he heard this.

"Are you stupid? If the western states want to deal with us, they may not just use force. They will impose an economic blockade, a trade embargo on us, and even increase their efforts to secretly support the rebels who are dissatisfied with the Salamanca group. People If you want to fight us, the only way is to fight over us."

The leader who was choked also slapped the table and said angrily: "If they dare to block us, we will send killers there to destroy their schools, hospitals, squares and other crowded places, causing them to be turned upside down and unable to live in peace. "

"You stupid pig, we are in business to make money, and we are not really terrorists. What benefits can we get from doing this?"

"The advantage is that the western states will realize how powerful we are, so that they will no longer dare to despise us."

The leader who spoke first was furious.

The other leader puffed up his chest proudly, but was despised by the other leaders in their hearts.

This leader's nickname is Mad Dog, and just like his nickname, he is a guy with a bad brain.

Hector kept him for the same purpose as raising a biting dog, purely to deter others.

But this mad dog himself felt that he was appreciated by Hector, and he always looked smug in front of other leaders, which made other leaders very unhappy.

Everyone knows the temper of a mad dog, and knows that you can't win an argument with him, and he won't listen to reason, so they simply ignore him and ignore him.

Another older leader pretended not to see the mad dog and said: "The Western Countries

The threat to the state is the sword and gun on the surface, but what I am more worried about is the dagger hiding in the shadows. "

The other leaders were stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"Other groups have long been coveting the Tijuana occupied by our Salamanca Group. It is difficult to say that they will not take advantage of this moment to join forces with the western states to drive us out of Tijuana."

A leader with burns on his face was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this impossible? Aren't we compatriots?"

"Compatriots?" the older leader sneered, "Do you believe this? If I remember correctly, Juan, you have three wives and five children. Each of your children was sent abroad to receive the best education. Education, you will also take your wife to travel to Asia and Europe every year.”

The leader with burns on his face was obviously displeased and said: "What are you talking about? What I do with my wife and my children is none of your business!"

"It's none of my business, but look at you, and then look at the people at the bottom of Tijuana who are struggling, with only meager Mexican pesos every month, let alone going abroad, they don't even have time to rest, you will Do they treat them as compatriots?”

The leader, who had burns on his face, stood up suddenly and said angrily: "You...what do you mean?!"

The older leader waved his hand to signal the other party to calm down.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to accuse you, because I am the same, not just you and me, but everyone here including Mr. Hector Salamanca is also the same. Why can the 1% of us live so well? ? By exploiting 99% of the people."

"What I want to say is, if we don't do what we should do, we should stop talking about 'compatriots' and the like. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to say this, and it will make others laugh at our naivety."

If North America is now a country controlled by companies, then Mexico is an out-and-out country controlled by groups.

Just as the Salamanca Group's sphere of influence is Tijuana, other large and small cities in Mexico are also controlled by other groups.

The relationship between the various groups cannot be said to be one of mutual love, at least it can be regarded as a life-and-death relationship.

The current sphere of influence of each group is not determined by everyone's good words and discussions, but by real swords and guns.

Many people died and a lot of blood was shed before the territory was finally demarcated.

The conflicts on the surface were gone, but turned into various rivalries behind closed doors.
