from night city

Therefore, only by cooperating with himself can Mosley complete the task and maximize his benefits.

……

Just as Su Xiao thought, Mosley chose to cooperate with him.

Mosley didn't even consider other collaborators at all.

Because he felt that Su Xiao was a very suitable collaborator, and they would definitely get along very happily if they cooperated with Su Xiao.

Mosley invited Su Xiao to stay at the Great Empire Mall, and Su Xiao naturally would not refuse.

He chose the highest floor of the entire shopping mall and found a room facing the direction of the Badi Hotel and Meditation Bible Hall where the Voodoo Gang was located.

Let the animals help you clean and tidy up the room for you, and make it suitable for living.

Of course, the people in the Animal Gang are all rough guys, and even their leader, the Savage King, is a tomboy.

It is impossible to expect them to be considerate in helping you clean up.

But as long as it's clean, tidy and habitable, it's fine.

Lidya Su is not that picky.

Su Xiao called her home and told V and Lucy that she would be staying in Taipingzhou for a few days, so as not to worry them.

At the same time, he also asked them to prepare.

Once Mosley's budget request is approved, they will need to take action.

……

In the days that followed, Su Xiao lived peacefully in the Great Empire Mall.

In order to avoid being exposed, he, like Mosley, stayed at the Great Empire Mall and never left the door.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't do anything.

During the day, he would climb on the roof of the Grand Empire Mall and fly a drone over the Bharti Hotel and Meditation Bible Hall to conduct reconnaissance.

These two locations are the strongholds of the Voodoo Gang.

In particular, the latter is the real headquarters of the Voodoo Gang, and only its core members know of its existence.

Drones are all electrically powered, and they basically have to be returned after flying for an hour or two to recharge.

In addition, Su Xiao did not dare to let the drone fly too low, let alone let the drone lower its altitude and enter the Badi Hotel.

Even though there is optical camouflage, it is not truly invisible.

It's okay if it's far away, but you can see it with the naked eye when you're close.

Therefore, in the past few days, Su Xiao just used drones to conduct reconnaissance at high altitudes.

But even so, there is a lot of information that can be seen.

The biggest gain is that it confirmed Su Xiao’s previous conjecture, that is, the relationship between Haitian immigrants and the Voodoo Gang is symbiotic.

Maybe people living in China cannot understand that in poor and backward communities like the United States, the relationship between civilians and gangs is not completely incompatible.

You can say this is a Stockholm plot, but it cannot be denied that civilians who have grown up and lived in that kind of community are not so repulsive to gangs.

On the contrary, some of them may also feel that although they have to pay protection fees to the gang, it is the gang that protects them from harassment and trouble from other gangs.

This is exactly the case with the relationship between Haitian immigrants and the Voodoo Gang.

The ostensible stronghold of the Voodoo Gang is at the Buddy Hotel. Just by the name, you can tell what this place was originally intended to do. But later, with the departure of capital, this place became the territory of the Voodoo Gang.

No one is allowed to enter the space above the second floor. Only people from the Voodoo Gang can enter and exit.

The space on the first floor of the hotel was used by those Haitian immigrants and turned into a bustling black market.

In this black market, everything is sold, and there are even some scantily clad women ogling the passing customers.

The black market at the Badi Hotel will be closed at night, and no one will wander around the hotel.

The people of the Voodoo Gang are very vigilant. They arrange the sentry positions in different positions every night. They have no way of backing up and can only adapt to changes.

If the Batty Hotel is the official stronghold of the Voodoo Gang, then the Meditation Bible Church is the real base of the Voodoo Gang.

stronghold.

This stronghold is known only to the core members, not even the ordinary Voodoo gang members, let alone the Haitian immigrants.

The Meditation Bible Church is equivalent to a church for Haitians. They come here to pray and hold funerals.

But no one knows that the wall of the Bible Hall is just a disguised secret door that can actually be opened.

Once opened, an underground passage leading to the Voodoo Gang's true stronghold will be revealed.

This information was not detected by drones, but was told to him by Rogge's spy.

The real stronghold of the Voodoo Gang is located underground at the Meditation Bible Church.

However, this underground space was not dug by Voodoo himself, but part of the intercontinental maglev tunnel.

This tunnel originally connected the world, but was abandoned after the Fourth Corporate War decades ago.

The Fourth Corporate War changed many things, including the tunnel under Taipingzhou.

Later, the Voodoo Gang came to Taipingzhou. They discovered this tunnel and decided to use it.

They blocked both ends of the maglev tunnel, leaving only the remaining open space in the center as their secret stronghold.

At the same time, in order to conceal people's eyes and ears, a meditation Bible hall was built on it.

Of course, as mentioned before, only the most core members deserve to know about the secret underground stronghold of Jingxin Bible Church.

Therefore, when nothing happens, the top leaders of the Voodoo Gang - such as the leader Maman Bridget, the second-in-command Placid, and the third-in-command whose name is unknown but whose nickname is Neptune.

These high-level officials will stay at the Bati Hotel.

Similarly, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, they also introduced a lot of hacking equipment into the Badi Hotel and raised a group of less-skilled hackers.

When conducting some hacking operations, they were all completed at the Bati Hotel.

However, when they need to carry out some unknown secret operations, Bridget and other senior officials will come to the secret underground stronghold of the Jingxin Bible Church.

Not only are the hacking equipment here better than those at the Batty Hotel, but even the hackers who can enter here are carefully selected and elite.

Therefore, during the official operation, it was necessary to divide into two teams, one to clean up the Voodoo Gang in the Batty Hotel, and the other to wipe out the Voodoo Gang underground in the Jingxin Bible Hall.

The total number of people under Su Xiao's hands is less than 40.

The Voodoo Gang, including peripheral members, has close to 300 people.

It's almost a ratio of one to ten.

However, the people from the Voodoo Gang are far inferior to Su Xiao's people in terms of prosthetics and weapons.

What's more, Su Xiao also specially prepared some good things for hacker gangs like the Voodoo Gang.

……

When Mosley came to see Su Xiao again, the news he brought was not agreement, but rejection.

The British headquarters did not think the situation was as bad as Mosley's, and they only agreed to increase the budget by up to 200 million.

That is to say, Mosley can only pay Su Xiao a maximum of 1000 million yuan, not counting the share that Su Xiao previously negotiated with Mosley.

That is to say, excluding the 300 million given to Mosley, Su Xiao can only get 700 million.

Then Lidya Su will definitely not be able to do it.

Not only because there is not much money to divide, but also because the effort and reward are not equal.

Su Xiao is a very simple person. He can do as many things as he wants, and he won't use any extra effort.

This is how he works for others, and it is also the same now that he is his own boss.

You only gave him 1000 million and you want him to finish the job?

impossible.

In fact, it is impossible for network monitoring companies not to be able to come up with even this amount of money.

Su Xiao knew the reason why they were unwilling to increase the budget for Mosley. In addition to their disbelief in the report submitted by Mosley, another reason was that they deliberately stumbled Mosley and wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

There are too many people in reality who want to set things up for others even if they don't get any benefits.

Rather, it is good for this kind of person to see others tripping.

"You don't want to allocate money, do you? It's okay, just keep reporting to them."

Just like the protagonist Andy in the movie "Shawshank Redemption", he kept writing letters to the governor to apply for funding to build a library in Shawshank Prison.

What Mosley can do now is continue to report to the British headquarters.

Their current situation is nothing like "The Shawshank Redemption."

The prison library in the movie is considered dispensable in the eyes of others, which is why the prison has not had a library for so many years.

But the existence of the Voodoo Gang is a real threat to the security of Black Wall.

Colleagues and bosses who wanted to see Mosley make a fool of themselves were so patronizing that they forgot that if Mosley messed up, they wouldn't be able to reap the rewards.

If Mosley is fired because of incompetence, it will be someone else's turn to be "assigned" to Night City.

By then, will they still be able to laugh?

……

Mosley had the opposite attitude towards Su Xiao's thoughts.

He felt that doing this again would be of no use.

It's just that the money is not in place and Lidya Su is unwilling to do it, so there is nothing he can do.

There is nothing wrong with being idle, so I can only continue to try as Su Xiao said.

However, what Mosley did not expect was that things would turn around a few days later.

The attitude of the British headquarters suddenly changed.

Because their black wall detection program actually detected that an out-of-control AI had bypassed the black wall and came to the world on the other side of the wall.

This is a big crisis, and the entire British headquarters is moving quickly.

Everyone was full of energy and burst out with 12 points of strength.
