People are in Night City, start to add points

"I go!"

There was an exclamation in the communication.

"What's going on?" River asked immediately.

"No, no, nothing, it's just that all the scavengers here are dead."

The officer responded immediately.

"Tsk, it looks like it was done by hackers. All the scavengers have their heads burned out. It can be seen that they died very quickly."

Hearing this, River stopped slowly.

"Same as the previous few times?"

"Yes."

"What's going on, have these bastards who sell organs offended anyone?"

"Who knew, the fourth scene tonight is all about this scene."

Listening to the discussion of the police officers in the communication, River frowned unconsciously.

"Okay, let's talk about this when we go back, Jimmy, take someone to check if anyone slipped through the net, and others will clean up the scene and rescue the hostages..."

After ordering one by one, River Ward weighed the gun in his hand, then raised his head, looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and slowly read a word in a voice that he could only hear.

"moon..."

—————————————————————

squeak--

David pushed open the bedroom door and walked out yawning.

"faster!"

Gloria's voice came from the direction of the kitchen.

"It's here!"

David quickly responded and quickened his pace.

On the wall of the living room, a large new built-in TV was broadcasting the news.

"Dear viewers, welcome to the evening news, first of all is an alert..."

David walked across the living room without looking sideways, pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table.

"Why did you come out?"

Gloria, who had already been sitting there, said with a slight complaint.

"I've called you several times, and the food will be cold any later."

"I'm not busy."

David smiled, first picked up the juice in the glass, and took a big sip.

"Eat quickly, the pizza I made for you today."

On the other side, Gloria pushed the plate towards David and said with a smile.

"I saw that this apartment is equipped with an oven, so I tried to make it. The taste should be okay. You can try it."

"Uh……"

David looked at the tomato sauce poured on the pizza, his expression suddenly became a little weird, as if he thought of something else.

Taking a breath silently, he quickly adjusted his expression and cut a piece of pizza.

Meanwhile, in the direction of the living room, the sound of the evening news continued.

"...Officer River Ward of ncpd cracked another major case of human trafficking, homicide, and organ trafficking!"

"I'm reporter Karina, and I'm bringing you a live report."

"Officer River, how did you find the clues in this case?"

Hearing this, the corners of David's mouth turned up, and he took a bite of the pizza.

It tastes really good.

Volume 122: Chapter 120 Chapter [-]: A Trap

Three days later, the 'Little Mule', which was still in a modified state, was driving on the streets of the northern industrial zone.

Today is the day for the second follow-up investigation to further determine the experimental location of the 'Prosthetic King Kong'.

At this time, in the closed space of the back seat of the 'little mule', David was soaked in ice water, his eyes were slightly closed, and his posture was quite stretched. On the body exposed to the water, strong and clear muscle lines could be seen—in order to obtain more comfort Based on his experience, he replaced the ice bucket of the cooling system with a small bathtub, the inside of which fits the curvature of the body better.

After sensing the transport vehicle a few hundred meters away from a distance, and making sure that he was not lost, David's thoughts gradually diverged, and he turned on the system in his mind.

【David Martinez, Level 16, Street Reputation 20,332 (You're famous now, you've left a deep impression on more and more people)】

After working all night that day, more than 100 scavengers died. Although their "levels" were not high, David's character level was pushed to 16 due to the accumulation of a huge number.

As for the three attribute points thus obtained, David added two points to the body and one point to the reaction.

[Physical body: 6 (running long distances? Flying over walls? You can do it like the protagonist of a TV series. From the perspective of physical fitness alone, you can already be called the best among human beings)]

【Response: 4 (Not bad for ordinary people, at least you can participate in low-level baseball games and play well, or play higher ranks in video games)】

As for expertise, David still hasn't figured it out.

As far as computer expertise is concerned, although it is enough for now, if we want to achieve that distant goal, we still need to continue to invest.

And physicality - strength/survival, and reaction - quickness/perception, the four specialties under these two attributes belong to different routes or 'schools', and can effectively make up for his current shortcomings.

But how to choose specifically depends on the comprehensive consideration of weapons, learning skills and other factors. Now David can only temporarily use the specialty points to avoid wasting the already insufficient specialty points.

drop--

At this time, a reminder of communication application sounded in the brain, and it was Regina calling.

David was a little puzzled, wondering why this female reporter, who was well suited as a middleman, suddenly contacted him.

Could it be that when the scavenger was solved, what loopholes were left?

shouldn't be...

With that in mind, he connected to Regina's communication.

"how?"

"I heard something and I have to tell you."

Regina's voice sounded extremely low, even a little nervous.

"The Tiger Claw Gang is looking for a student named David Martinez these days."

"what?"

David was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses and figured out the reason.

"I see." He chuckled, and then explained: "David Martinez recently helped Arasaka complete a big project."

Faced with Regina's kind reminder, David didn't mind revealing some information to her.

"I see……"

Hearing this sentence, Regina suddenly understood the doorway.

"No wonder it's the Tiger Claw Gang, no wonder the client is from Arasaka Tower, and that's the only amount of money."

After she paused for a while, a smile appeared in her voice.

"It seems that you are going well on the road to the top of Arasaka Tower."

"Where is this..."

There was another brief joking with each other, and then David hung up the communication.

"As expected of an experienced management, Bramwell's arrangement is still watertight."

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a commission issued by other factions in the Arasaka Tower. They don't know my specific role in the project, but they saw that Bramwell treated me well, so they made an attempt. Anyway, only It costs a small amount of money, which is nothing to them."

After thinking for a moment in his heart, David returned his attention to the surrounding situation and the transport vehicle ahead.

On the gray street, the 'little mule' followed the transport vehicle to the northernmost end of the industrial zone in the north of the city.

This is also the northern border of Night City, and further forward is the oil field area in Badlands.

"As far as I remember, Johnny Silverhand's tomb is near here, in the container at Ebnik Wharf to the west, and his pistol and car..."

This thought flashed by, and then David saw the transport vehicle in the distance slowly slowing down and driving into a certain factory building.

Like the experimental center for researching the anti-gravity system, it apparently belongs to a small enterprise that produces building materials, and seems to have nothing to do with Arasaka.

The whole factory area is composed of four strip factory buildings and one office building. It looks plain and unpretentious, without any special features, and the surrounding walls are also a little dilapidated. Let alone mercenaries, even street gangsters can slip in. degree.

As for the inside...

squeak--

At this time, the little mule stopped hundreds of meters away from the factory.

Immediately afterwards, Lucy, who was sitting in the driver's seat, took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

"and many more!"

David was taken aback, and quickly stopped her.

"Hey?"

Lucy stopped in a daze.

Apparently, she was going to go straight in with the assistance of 'moon' like last time.

"We've got to do it differently this time."

David smiled wryly, marked a certain location on the map, and continued.

"Drive the car here first."

At the same time, in David's brain computer, a picture after another appeared, which was exactly the place he had marked.

There is a corner of the factory area. Under the cover of pipes and layers of brick walls, there is a huge iron door hung with a tarpaulin.

Behind the iron gate is a hidden passage paved with metal that can accommodate several chariots entering and exiting at the same time.

The picture continues to extend, gradually entering the depths of the passage.

At this moment, David was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately froze the scene in front of him.

He saw the transport vehicle that he followed all the way.

At this time, the back door of the transport vehicle had been opened, but what appeared inside was not any classified equipment, but an Arasaka soldier armed with live ammunition!

They wore thick white body armor like samurai armor, and sat quietly in the compartment of the transport vehicle. Only one captain stood outside the vehicle, communicating with several Arasaka employees.

Soldiers, hiding in transport vehicles...

"parking!"

David suddenly realized something, and his voice became hurried.

This is a trap!

Obviously, Arasaka Tower was not unprepared, and they even took advantage of the opportunity to turn the transport vehicle into a bait.

The rest of Mann's team had to be alerted to stop immediately.

Volume 123: Chapter 120 Chapter [-]: A Little Surprise

Fortunately, the members of the other groups were cautious enough not to do anything beyond their capabilities, nor to expose themselves.

After receiving the warning from 'moon', they stopped immediately, waited for 'moon' to come over, and checked the tracked locations one by one.

A few hours later, David slowly opened his eyes in the back seat of the 'Little Mule' parked on a certain street in the northern part of Meiquan District.

"Things are getting troublesome..."

With some headaches, he raised his hands and rubbed the center of his brows, causing a splash of water.
