People are in Night City, start to add points

At this time, he suddenly received another message, it was from the kid who recently learned how to drive with him.

"You seem to be in trouble?"

Taylor ignored him, ignored the message, and continued down the dark, damp pipe.

I don't know how long it took, but the pipe finally reached the end, changing from horizontal to vertical. At the same time, there are iron bars on the wall for people to climb.

Due to years of drinking and lack of exercise, the journey just now has consumed most of Taylor's physical strength.He leaned against the wall and gasped for a long time, then gathered his last strength and climbed up with his hands and feet.

Volume 49: Chapter 49 Chapter [-]: I Have a Friend

Over Tyler's head, light shines through a crack in the lid and hits the wall of the pipe.

It was a route he had prepared a long time ago, from San Amaro Street all the way south to the Coronado Farms, down a deserted alley.

Almost no one would find this place, the homeless would look for a more spacious place, and the alleys outside were blocked by him with all kinds of debris, no matter which direction it was, it was quite hidden.

Taylor is confident that he can leave quietly and go to another residence, and no one will know where he went.

Boom, boom, boom—

The sound of hard-soled sneakers stepping on the iron bars continued to sound. After a while, Taylor finally climbed to the top and touched the heavy metal cover.

He supported the cover with his hands, and then he pulled it up with all his strength. With the creaking sound that made his teeth ache, Taylor finally climbed out of the pipe and returned to the shroud of light.

"what--"

After gasping for breath twice and wiping off the sweat from his forehead, Taylor got up from the ground and pushed away the cardboard boxes blocking the alley.

At this time, his gaze suddenly froze, and he stopped and stood there stiffly.

A familiar Tingwei 'little mule' was parked at the alley.

"If I were you, I wouldn't continue to stand there stupidly." In the brain, the kid named Josie Cullen sent another message.

"No matter where you're going, it's definitely safer and faster to take a car than to walk. Come up."

Taylor was silent for two or three seconds, then stepped forward and opened the car door.

"How did you find this place?" He couldn't help asking as soon as he sat down.

"When I arrived at your house just now, I saw a group of gangsters from the Tiger Claw Gang..."

"I asked how you found this!"

Taylor's voice suddenly rose. The exposure of this hidden route made him feel bad, and he even felt a strong sense of frustration and crisis.

"I have a friend who knows a lot about hacking techniques." David shrugged. "To be honest, your awareness of prevention is very poor. Just a random email can monitor your location."

The firewall I installed is not cheap, and it is not so easy to be breached under normal circumstances...

Taylor opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say the words, and said in a deep voice.

"Boy, you shouldn't join in."

"Pull it down."

David turned around and held the steering wheel with both hands.

"Those guys are going to demolish your house. It's like crazy. I don't want you to hang up so quickly. The tuition fee of 300 yuan has not been paid back. Where are you going now?"

"...No. 12 Jerez Street." Taylor's voice was a little dull, and he didn't refute.

The 'little mule' started slowly and drove on the narrow road.

David opened the system map in his mind, and first saw a conspicuous red dot on Japan Street, which was Lucy's real-time location.

"If I remember correctly, this is the apartment she rented..."

The thought flashed through him, and then David zoomed in on the map and found where Taylor was going.

Jerez Street is very close to their current location. After 5 minutes, you can already see small buildings with courtyards in the distance, separated from each other by barbed wire.

This is the most common Coronado farm neighborhood, and David recalled being chased by his own Sixth Street gang.

"No. 12 is on the south side, turn at the intersection ahead..."

Taylor, who was in the co-pilot's seat, leaned against the car door and kept scanning the street outside the window. While identifying the direction, he instructed David to drive.

"How did you provoke those guys?"

David turned the steering wheel and couldn't help asking.

"For the Tiger Claw Gang to leave their territory and come to the Sixth Street Gang to trouble you, this is not a small problem."

"Some things in the past." Taylor said sullenly: "Do you think I am willing to retire?"

"Is the life of an underground racer so exciting?"

The corners of David's mouth turned up, and he was about to ask a few more questions when his voice suddenly sank.

"No... Get down, hurry up."

He didn't explain too much, and Taylor's reaction was also very quick. After a brief moment of stupefaction, he immediately bent down.

Two or three seconds later, a colorful motorcycle sped past. On the car was a man with an airplane head and arms covered in tattoos.

"It's okay." David breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that they didn't see you on San Amaro Street, and they began to spread their hands to look for it. But this is just a formality. Coronado Farm is the site of the Sixth Street Gang, and the Tiger Claw Gang will not do it. Too arrogant."

"How did you know he was coming?"

Tyler was still hunched over, but with his head up slightly, looking along the edge of the window.

"I've said that, I have a very powerful hacker friend, otherwise why do you think I dare to come to pick you up?"

In order not to attract attention, David reminded Regina that this new identity named Josie Cullen was very ordinary, without any special features, and she was one of thousands of young people who wanted to come to Night City to make a fortune. one of the.

Although Taylor didn't know these details, David made up a hacker friend out of caution, so as not to expose the hacking ability that didn't fit Josie Cullen's "personality".

It's easier than I imagined...

In the driver's seat, David looked a little relaxed.

Taylor did not know where to get the news, and left the residence at No. 36 San Amaro Street ahead of schedule, which saved him a lot of effort, and even the expected fight with the Tiger Claws did not occur.

Now it is only necessary to send him to the destination, and Regina's request will be fulfilled.

As the distance continued to approach, Taylor's guidance became more and more clear. After 1 minute, the 'little mule' finally stopped slowly along the street.

Unlike other places in the Jerez Street residential area, No. 12 is located alone under a viaduct. The house looks dilapidated, and there are several scrapped cars parked in the yard. It seems that no one has lived in it for many years.

"If you want to find me in the future, come here."

Taylor shook his head rather emotionally.

"Anyway, boy, thank you for today."

He was about to open the door to get out of the car, and pressed it, but found that the door didn't move.

"and many more……"

David put his hands on his waist and looked around, frowning little by little.

"Is anyone else here?"

"what?"

Taylor tilted his head slightly, a little dazed.

"I said, there are others who know, will you come to this place?"

Following his voice, one figure after another came out from behind the fence not far away, in the cars parked on the street, and in the courtyard of Room 12.

They all had tattoos all over their bodies, and they walked out from all directions, holding cold weapons such as katana and ribs, and surrounded the 'little mule' in the middle.

Volume 50: Chapter 50 Chapter [-]: A Great Friend

On the concrete road, which is not considered wide at all, more than a dozen members of the Tiger Claw Gang kept approaching the 'little mule' with weapons in hand.

This picture is quite oppressive, and David even heard Taylor's breathing a lot faster.

"Caroline..."

Taylor uttered a name as if talking to himself, and then his expression suddenly darkened.He was silent for two seconds, then suddenly spoke.

"Boy, listen, I'll go down first later, and then you start the car right away, so it's still possible to leave."

"Ok?"

David turned his head in surprise, and found that Taylor's face was as pale as paper, and the hand without the prosthetic body was shaking slightly.

To be honest, David didn't expect Taylor to say such a sentence.The two of them have only known each other for a few days, and their relationship is limited to the three hundred yuan tuition fee, which is far from good enough to risk their lives.

Betrayed by a trusted person, exposing his position, so heartbroken?

Caroline... sounds like a woman's name.

"What are you in a daze for?" Taylor's voice trembled, interrupting David's association: "Hurry up, or it will be too late!"

"Uh, don't you think we can still salvage it?"

David scratched the port behind his ear and said helplessly.

"Rely on your hacker friend? No use."

Taylor took a deep breath, raised his metal arm, and flexed and stretched his palm.

"There are too many of them. Even if one is killed, the rest can kill us in an instant. Nothing can stop your broken car."

"...Don't say that, it cost me a lot of money."

"Don't you understand?!"

Seemingly annoyed at David's ignorance, Taylor turned his head suddenly, his yellow eyes from drinking too much were full of despair.

"I'm going to die. I've known since two years ago that I'm going to die. It's just a matter of whether it's sooner or later, but you're different... Fuck, forget it, open the door for me. Mochiji, you like this I can't survive a few days in Night City!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and in the end he didn't even bother to explain to David, but kept tugging on the car door.

"Calm down." David smiled wryly, looking out the window.

Those members of the Tiger Claw Gang have been forced to share, share!Small, said resource; source' group: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0'. 5,8! "5.;6 At a very close distance, one of the guys with green hair dyed his head swung a big knife and shouted something, the tip of the knife almost touched the door of the 'little mule'.

In fact, what Taylor said is correct, David who just crossed over would think the same way.

More than a dozen ferocious guys are surrounding the outside, occupying all directions without any gaps.

They can't break through by force. They don't even need to do it themselves. They only need a grenade to drive people to the ground. The Tiger Claw Gang is only keen on swords, not using hot weapons at all.

For the vast majority of people, this is a mortal situation.

"Actually, you're right about one thing."

David stared intently outside, seeing the Tiger Claws getting closer and gesticulating outside the car with their weapons.

He exhaled, and slowly leaned back in the chair under Tyler's desperate and puzzled eyes.

"If it goes on like this, they're going to wreck my car."

【Uploading line overload】

The green hair closest to the 'little mule' suddenly stopped his movements, and his expression froze for an instant.

[Upload completed, analyzing infection path]

[Available communication channel detected, uploading line overload]

when--

Bang, snap...

With one crisp sound after another, the katanas, ribs, and short blades that were held tightly in the hands fell to the ground one after another.

And their owners also seemed to have been pressed the pause button, standing in place like a sculpture, and then staggered down, several of them still had a little bit of smoke coming out of their heads.

Most of the lowest-level members of the Tiger Claw Gang used basic firewalls, which were behind by an unknown number of versions, so they were useless in front of David.

The puppets physically short-circuited and overheated their brains, destroying the fragile but vital biological brains, and then spreading them along the communication channel to the brains of other people.

Different from the 2077 game, the puppet in reality will actively invade all targets in the entire network. However, the disadvantage is that the upload speed will not be very fast, resulting in a sequence of infection.If the distance is not a problem, but at close range, such as now, it is easy for the opponent to notice and let those guys with grenades in their waists react in time.

But David's own "Line Overload" is different. After invading the first target, it will quickly separate countless offspring to infect the entire network. The speed of inability to react effectively.
