from night city

"What happened"

McCoy waved his hand irritably: "Fuck! Stop asking, just promise me!"

"Okay, I promise you."

"That's good." McCoy seemed relieved and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He patted Lidya Su on the shoulder and prepared to leave.

When everyone else had walked out of the tent, they suddenly turned back.

"One more thing, Sue." McCoy paused, looking hesitant.

He seemed to be debating whether he should talk about it or not.

In the end, McCoy decided to give Su Xiao a thorough explanation.

"If, I mean if..."

"If something really happens, you go to the chief's longhouse - that is, Chari's house. There is a tunnel there that can lead directly to the outside. Near the place where I often take you to practice, there is a cave inside. There’s a car hidden away.”

"That cave is easy to find. As long as you search carefully, you will never miss it."

"The car is full of gas, as well as emergency food, water, and supplies necessary for survival in the wild... and a small gift I personally prepared for you."

"If something happens, you should step on the accelerator to the bottom, drive as fast as you want, and stay as far away as possible."

Su Xiao froze for a moment.

"What's going on, McCoy? Can you just say it? I hate the Riddler."

"Don't ask anything, and don't pry around. Just run away when the time comes. Do you understand?"

This time, before Su Xiao could answer, a voice sounded.

A homeless man leaned against a box at the door of his tent.

"McCoy, so you are here. Charlie called you over, it was about that matter, you know."

McCoy nodded.

Follow the wanderer out.

"Su, mark my words and don't forget them."

……

Watching McCoy leave, Su Xiao looked complicated.

Although he originally planned to use the Bakker family as a springboard.

I don't want to stay here long.

but……

He looked at the gloomy sky outside the tent.

heavily clouded.

A storm seems to be coming.

"This is going to be a big deal."

He called out the attribute panel, and a string of data appeared in front of his eyes.

----

Close the properties panel.

He took out another box from under the bed.

What's inside is all kinds of grenades and anti-infantry anti-personnel mines.

There are a dozen in total.

At the bottom of the box, there is also a samurai sword and a cracker.

These things were all exchanged between him and other wanderers.

There is really no pay for working in the camp.

But he can privately collect some benefits and help the homeless people at the back to advance the order a little bit.

This is also impossible.

After all, if he was going to leave the Bakker family, he had to get something to defend himself, right?

Charlie didn't give him a gun, and he didn't pay him a salary.

I worked half a year in vain.

Shouldn't he be allowed to do some good for himself?

Outside the tent, suddenly the engine roared loudly.

Su Xiao put the box back under the bed.

Walking out of the tent, I saw a large number of vehicles leaving the camp.

In the social structure of homeless people, the family is the smallest unit, ranging in size from two to 100 people.

The Bakker family is quite decent, with a total of fifty people and eleven cars.

Now, eight vehicles drove out of the camp, carrying a puff of smoke into the distance.

It was Charlie who started the process.

After they left, Su Xiao pretended to have a normal reaction that ordinary people should have, found a homeless man who stayed, and asked in a very casual tone.

"What are they doing here?"

"I don't know, Charlie didn't say anything, but if he made such a big noise, he must be doing some big business."

The homeless man's tone and expression revealed endless regret.

Obviously he wants to follow.

As soon as I heard the words "big deal" and McCoy's sudden and repeated instructions...

Lidya Su felt uneasy in her heart.

……

Nothing happened that day, and the next day soon came.

The remaining wanderers lit a bonfire in the center of the camp.

Su Xiao went to get her share of food, then found a place with a good view to sit down, enjoying the distant scenery while eating.

In the Badlands, there is no need to worry about being attacked by wolves or wild beasts.

Because most of the animals are extinct.

This is a lifeless and barren land.

The most dangerous thing is people, that is, the Luan Dao Society.

The Gang is made up of bandits, criminals, and outcasts.

Banished from the Wanderer tribe, they form dangerous gangs that prowl the roads and suburbs in search of prey.

The name "Rantokai" itself is a combination of several derogatory words.

In the Wanderer tribe, an elder will formally declare someone to be a member of the Knife Club in a ceremony, and the guilty person will be permanently expelled from the tribe.

Despite their large numbers, the Blades are not enough to form a cohesive family or tribe.

They just fight on their own, like itinerant gangs.

Everyone is ruthless, destructive, and aggressive.

For most Night City residents who don't often encounter homeless people, the gangs are no different from the city's gangs.

Victims often report robberies, ambushes and attacks in towns and suburbs carried out by various gangs as "tramp attacks".

Therefore, this has caused many people's evaluation of the Rangers to plummet.

Suddenly, the outline of a car appeared in his field of vision.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up.

A homeless man on guard duty also sounded the alarm.

"There's a car coming!"

The wanderers sitting around the campfire grabbed their guns and came to the outskirts of the camp.

"It's our car."

"Why did only one car come back?"

The windshield was splashed with paint, making it difficult for anyone to see what was going on inside the car.
