From ship girl to machine god

And for wanderers, a good car is also very rare.

This is not just a matter of the price of a good car and the difficulty of acquiring it, but also that a good car for the wanderers must go through various adjustments and modifications by themselves.

Whether a wanderer is qualified or not can be determined by looking at his car. A good wanderer will definitely have a good car that has been carefully modified.

Obviously, these wanderers have very good eyesight. They can see that the Beamon in front of them is not only a good car, but also has been carefully adjusted and modified.

"Don't think about it. Unless you grab it, only those corporate dogs can get a car of this level." Obviously some of these people know enough about Beamon to know that this car is difficult to obtain.

So the topic quickly turned from the car back to some internal topics of the Adkados tribe, but the eyes of these wanderers still looked at this heavy armored transport vehicle from time to time.

It wasn't until someone mentioned Sol, a name that was familiar to Blue Bird, that Blue Bird, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, turned his attention to this group of wanderers.

Chapter 44 People to unite with

In the original cyberpunk game plot, which characters were impressive? Thor, who valued love and justice, and finally led his entire family to accompany V into Arasaka Tower, but died in Adam Hammer. The leader of the wanderers in his hand definitely counts as one.

Although it is not as frustrating as good brother Jack, nor as fascinating as Panan and Judy, the image of a man who is tied down by his family and life, shouldering the burden of life, but full of heroic spirit, is Thor is portrayed very successfully, and it is hard to forget this man who is willing to face a powerful enemy with you in the end.

When V met Thor in the game, he was the timid old stubborn in Panan's words, but he was also the big hero in Panan's words who could blow up the company's equipment and set off fireworks in order to make the children happy in the past.

At this time, Thor gives people the impression of a hero who dared to fight and fight when he was young. In the end, his edges were smoothed away by life, and his sharpness was also worn away.

And as V gets more in touch and communicates with Thor and the wanderers of Adkados, he can gradually understand and understand what this seemingly stubborn man is thinking.

He is the leader of the family, and every decision he makes is related to the life and death of hundreds of people in the entire family, which forces him to treat everything carefully.

Jade Bird can understand why Thor has become so conservative and stubborn, because when he is alone, he will naturally take things lightly and do anything if he refuses to obey. But when a person takes on the responsibility, he will inevitably be tied up.

What held Thor back was the group of wanderers who moved to Night City with him. They chose Thor to be their leader, and Thor would be responsible for the lives and deaths of these people.

It was as if Panan had left the family, but when something happened to her and she needed help, Sol immediately took everyone in the family out to help her.

Although Sol said all kinds of bad things about Panan, you can still feel from his actions that he is a man who values ​​love and justice and cares about his family.

Although when chatting with him in the plot, when he mentioned the homeless man who died helping Johnny Silverhand blow up Arasaka Tower, Thor looked disdainful and said, "I died like this for a madman who wanted to blow up Arasaka Tower." What kind of friends are they?" But when V finally chose to ask them for help to blow up Arasaka Tower again, Thor roped in the entire Adkardos people to help, even though many people died in the process. Yes, even he himself risked his life for it.

Maybe Thor is not the kind of good brother who is willing to accompany you through all kinds of dangers, and who doesn’t care what you want to do but will definitely accompany you to the end. But when you need him, he will definitely appear where you need him and let you Feel free to leave your back to him.

For Jade Bird, a man like Thor is certainly a friend worth making, but more importantly, in Jade Bird's view, the Rangers are a group that is born to resist the company, a group that can unite to overthrow the company.

Jade Bird is indeed working for Military Technology, and has even shown a cooperative attitude towards Military Technology's next so-called legend-building plan, but this does not mean that Jade Bird does not intend to overthrow the company.

On the contrary, after discussions and conversations with old Morgan, she determined the goal of overthrowing the company.

And cooperation with military technology, to a certain extent, is preparation for overthrowing the company later.

Since it can cooperate with military technology in order to overthrow the company, Jade Bird can also cooperate with these wanderers in order to overthrow the company.

And if we must find a class or group that truly has a spirit of resistance or a revolutionary foundation in this cyberpunk world, homeless people are undoubtedly the ones with value and potential.

First of all, the birth of the homeless group is a group of homeless people who have lost their jobs. So from this point of view, the homeless group can be regarded as proletarian.

Judging from their current living conditions, the wanderers can also be regarded as propertyless. Even though they own cars and the big tribes even own territories, they still do not have the means of production.

Of course, from the point of view of not possessing the means of production, the street gangsters and mercenaries in Night City, or all classes and groups in the world except giant corporations, can be regarded as proletarians, but wanderers are indeed The group with the most potential among all.

First of all, they have a complete organization. Although this organization looks more like a completely new nation, it is undeniable that the composition of the Ranger family and tribe is indeed a fairly complete organizational form.

And more importantly, this organization also has a considerable degree of armed force and a large number of people.

Although in the original game plot, the only wanderers who appeared in Night City were a handful of about a hundred people led by Thor, the Adkados tribe itself had a scale of tens of thousands, not to mention It is said that each of the seven wandering families is a large tribe with tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people.

There is no clear affiliation between the wanderer tribes, but more of a relationship similar to that of a primitive tribe. Although they both belong to the same large tribe, they also have various different relationships with each other.

This is like the American Indians before they were killed by the Americans and became a minority. Although they are all called Indians, they have different tribes, and each tribe is scattered into different small tribes, and each one Small tribes are the most basic natural group of Indians.

But just like the Indians would form the Iroquois League to unite, when the Rangers faced difficulties and threats, various families and tribes would help each other and unite to deal with the outside world.

So whether it's just liberating a single Night City, or completely overthrowing corporations across the world, the Rangers are a force that needs to be united.

However, from Jade Bird's point of view, there is no rush to get involved with the entire homeless group at the moment. After all, the two parties do not have that level of trust, and Jade Bird does not have the size to hold a dialogue with the entire homeless group.

For now, the right thing to do is to establish contact with these Adkados wanderers and lay a good foundation as a starting point. There is no need to rush.

After thinking about this clearly, Qingniao said hello to Mann, left their car and came to the Rangers.

Chapter 45 The Blue Bird Talking about Cooperation

Blue Bird's actions undoubtedly aroused the high vigilance of the Rangers.

Although she looks like just an ordinary little girl, she is still a mercenary in the eyes of these wanderers, and no one among the wanderers will look down upon any mercenary, even if she is just a mercenary who looks young. Big little girl.

"You're not welcome here, company dog." A homeless person was the first to express hostility and resistance.

Just by his voice, Jade Bird could tell that he was the former wanderer who hated the company.

Blue Bird didn't care about his attitude, because although other wanderers also showed resistance, they were not as hostile as him.

But this is not a good thing from a certain perspective. After all, the unity of the wanderers is well known. Compared with strange mercenaries, they are undoubtedly more important as family companions.

If this wanderer remains hostile, even if Blue Bird can establish a relationship with this group of wanderers, it will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Thinking about how much energy V put into building a good relationship with Adkardos despite Thor's resistance, you can understand how much influence it has when someone interferes with you when you want to build a good relationship with a group of people.

Solna is just conservative and stubborn, not hostile.

So Qingniao turned to look at the leader of the group of wanderers, and just stared at him expressionlessly without speaking.

The person who was suspected to be the leader of the Rangers team also felt the pressure of being stared at by Blue Bird, so he took the initiative to say: "What's the matter with you, little girl? If nothing happens, please keep your distance from us. Rangers don't like it." Deal with you city folk.”

Although this wanderer's attitude was slightly better, he still showed a repulsive attitude in his words.

Qingniao didn't take this seriously, and only said after the other party took the initiative to speak: "Are you from Adkados? I just heard you mention Thor. I have heard of his name. It is said that he is a very good person. great people."

"Yes, Thor's name is indeed very loud in Adkardos. It's not surprising that you have heard of his name." The wanderer who was talking to Blue Bird didn't feel anything bad about her saying Thor's name. Qiqi still said with a cold attitude: "But what does this have to do with you? If nothing happens, just go back to your own place. You are not the same as us wanderers."

In response to these words, Qingniao finally showed a raised eyebrow expression and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "That's not necessarily true. Although I am indeed working for the company on this order, it does not mean that you and I have nothing in common.

For example, I think you would be interested in robbing the company's fleet, right?

I heard just now that you are very interested in my Behemoth. If you have a chance to grab one, are you willing to cooperate? "

Although she was attacked by the Ran Sword Club before and the battle was easily resolved, it also reminded Qingniao that since the other party could attack her, she could also attack these people.

It's just that before encountering these wanderers, the Cyberpunk team couldn't allocate manpower to do this.

But now that these wanderers are coming to their door, Jade Bird naturally doesn't mind using them to defeat its competitors, and at the same time, it can establish some connections with these wanderers and lay the foundation for a good relationship.

The other party obviously did not expect that Qingniao would make such a proposal. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Wanderer is not interested in dog-eating dogs between dogs in your company, and even if we want to talk, there should be someone who can make the decision." When we talk, can you, a little girl, have the final say?"

Obviously, these wanderers still have some thoughts in their hearts, but their disgust and resistance to the company make them instinctively reject it.

In fact, homeless people themselves are a group with a certain xenophobia.

The wanderers themselves exist as a family group, and everyone is a family member who helps each other. This not only unites them, but also forms a life circle that excludes outsiders.

Anyone who wants to come into contact with them will be excluded from this circle, unless you can do something to make these wanderers accept you into their circle.

This kind of rejection may be troublesome for others, but it is not difficult to solve for Qingniao.

"I think I should still be able to say what I say. At least in front of my subordinates, my words are counted." Qingniao said, still with an expressionless face, but at this moment he showed He showed some dignity: "Let me introduce myself. I am a mercenary in the bar of Afterlife in Night City. I am the undisputed strongest and the boss of the Cyberpunk team. You can call me Blue Bird."

While Qingniao said this, he also took out a coin from his pocket. In front of the group of wanderers, he only used his thumb and index finger to bend the copper-zinc alloy coin into nine pieces. Ten Degrees and then threw it to the leader of the Rangers.

The leader of the Rangers took the coin and tried to restore it to its original shape but it didn't move. He looked at the blue bird carefully and saw that she didn't look like she was equipped with a powerful prosthetic body like a gorilla arm. The look on her face His expression suddenly became serious.

At the same time, he also began to believe what Blue Bird said and her claim to be "the undisputed strongest".

After all, bending a coin with just your thumb and index finger is not something that can be easily done simply by relying on physical strength.

"Well, it seems that you are indeed not simple, but this does not seem to have anything to do with us accepting your proposal." Although the leader of the Rangers did believe what Jade Bird said, the fact that Jade Bird worked for the company still made him distrustful. Qingniao is repulsive and does not intend to cooperate with her.

However, Qingniao just said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "Showing strength is a necessary prerequisite for reaching cooperation. At least I have proved to you that I have the strength to cooperate with you, right? As for whether to reach cooperation, it depends on you. , I just give you a chance to choose.

In fact, my own strength alone is enough to solve all competitors. The reason why I cooperate with you is just that I hope to get to know the people of the famous Adkados tribe. If you are not willing, I will not reluctantly.

But I still advise you to think about it seriously. The opportunity to get military technology Behemoth is rare.

I don't think you want to resist the firepower of the company's security forces to rob it, right?Although I have done the same thing, I don't think you can do the same thing. "

Chapter 46 Ambush Site Selection

Qingniao does not have a strong eloquence, nor is she the kind of strategist who can enter the enemy camp alone and persuade a hundred thousand troops to surrender with just one mouthful.

But driven by profit, it would not be a problem to persuade these wanderers from Adkados to join her in this job.

After all, although these wanderers were tough-talking, they quickly chose to be decisive when faced with a military technology Behemoth and other possible gains presented by Blue Bird.

After taking care of these wanderers, the first thing they had to do was to find the other teams.

Although there is only one main road from Night City to Los Santos, that doesn't mean everyone will take this road.

Just like this group of wanderers, they did not take the interstate highway, but chose to cross the bad land directly, relying on the powerful sand terrain off-road ability of the wanderers' vehicles to cross the harsh terrain that ordinary vehicles cannot traverse.

So it’s uncertain whether several other teams will choose to go interstate.

But finding them may be a problem for the Blue Bird, but it is very simple for the Rangers.

"If you want to go from Night City to Los Santos, besides the interstate highway, there are several other roads you can take. In addition, if you want to cross the Badlands, there are only two fixed routes you can take, and these routes will Passed three small towns." The leader of the wanderers took out a map to explain to the blue bird, and marked the locations of the three towns on the map: "Two of the three small towns have been abandoned, but one of them is currently There are homeless people who have set up camps, and we only need to contact them to know if there is a team passing by.

As for the town that is not abandoned, I do not recommend taking action there, because it is a must-pass point when entering Los Santos, and a California National Guard is stationed there. If you take action there, it is likely to attract regular troops. blow.

It may take a day or two for this sandstorm to completely subside, but by tomorrow morning it will basically not affect travel in our Rangers’ car.

So we should go here, the only one of the three towns that is currently in a completely abandoned state, and set up an ambush here to wait for the prey to fall into the trap. "

Relying on the Rangers' familiarity with the surrounding terrain, the Ranger leader quickly formulated a very feasible plan.

In the opinion of this wanderer leader, as long as he sets up an ambush in an abandoned town, he can easily ambush the other teams mentioned by Blue Bird and obtain satisfactory harvests from them.

"It's a good plan, but the mercenaries can also think of anything you can think of." Regarding the Ranger leader's plan, Jade Bird raised objections: "You somewhat underestimate the mercenaries of Night City, especially These are these teams of mercenaries hired by military technology.

They have all been in Night City for many years, and they have become famous enough in this circle to be hired by the director of military technology to do a commission.

With their strength, it is indeed possible for you to set up an ambush and capture one or two of the teams, but you will suffer a lot of losses. "

Hearing what Blue Bird said, the leader of the Rangers was slightly unconvinced, but when it came to the lives of other people in the team, the Rangers' tradition of paying attention to every family member prevailed.

He suppressed his emotions and asked Qingniao: "What do you have in mind?"

"It's very simple, other things remain the same, but we set up an ambush outside this still functioning town." Blue Bird chose the place that was the least suitable for setting up an ambush in the opinion of the leader of the wanderers.
