Chapter 49 Firelight and Ropes(1/2)

At eight o'clock that night, the River Valley area fell into silence. Many households in Lin Wen's apartment building turned on bright lights, announcing to the outside world that there was an owner in this home. But when standing in front of the glass window

, looking outside, people can also be seen in the nearby apartment buildings, and they are also nervously looking at the situation outside.

When the time came to nine o'clock, rustling sounds came from the streets. Under the dim yellow light unique to Santo Domingo, vehicles, motorcycles, figures, and even drones appeared in the sky, and small planes lit up.

Under the yellow light, the situation in the two areas of Santo Domingo and Heywood was photographed.

At Lin Wen's house, Jack was holding his hand against the glass, lowering his head and looking down. He looked for a while, then raised his head to look at Lin Wen and said:

"Hey, Lin Wen, those guys from the Sixth Street Gang have come out, let me take a look... Damn, there are quite a few of them. Didn't they say 500 people beat 500 people? What's going on?

It looks like it’s over a thousand.”

Jack said to Lin Wen who was putting away the dishes in the kitchen, but he said that Lin Wen was putting away the dishes, but in fact there was an automatic dishwasher. After all, this is 2077, no matter how poor this place is in Santo Domingo

, those self-service items are still useful...

Like in better places, especially in high-end residential areas like Westbrook, every household is electronic. Cooking? Just click on it!

David originally wanted to see it, but when he saw Lucy entering his room, he ran in after her and was now packing his things in embarrassment.

Lucy was sitting on the swivel chair, holding the armrest with both hands. She was silently looking at David who was packing his things.

The young man turned his back to himself and groped on the bed.

But to be honest, Lucy is really not interested in David's little baby.

As for Mewtwo in that regard...it's normal for teenagers who are in puberty to look at it.

"I said...you won't do the same thing, right?"

But looking at David's awkward way of packing things, Lucy still felt funny.

David killed more than two hands of ruthless characters at least. He had never been so nervous during the fight, but now... he seemed to be in adolescence when his parents suddenly broke into the room and hurriedly hid Xiao Huang.

Books and prohibited items are the same for teenagers.

"What?" David put away a violent and astringent Mewtwo, and he...he would occasionally look at suffocation, but he just looked at it! He didn't have that preference!

But this kind of thing obviously cannot be explained clearly, so when David hid this Mewtwo, he even used Sean Westan, for fear that Lucy would see the package cover.

Mann: Is that what the hell you're doing with a Siam Westin?

"Tell me, sister, are you still a baby?" Lucy asked, raising her eyebrows.

David was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly and retorted loudly: "How is it possible? I'm already an adult, how could I be, be..."

"Tsk, I was indeed right about this reaction."

"you you!"

"Damn it, there's a fight!"

Outside, Jack's shout attracted the attention of Lucy and David. After the two looked at each other, they both stood up and walked out.

David breathed a sigh of relief. If he wanted to continue talking about this topic, he would really break his guard.

In the living room, Jack was pressing his big face against the glass window, looking down funny.

"Didn't I say it starts at ten o'clock? It's still fifteen minutes before ten o'clock!"

Jack shouted loudly.

David also looked over and saw a conflict breaking out on a street not far away, but because it was a little far away, David couldn't see it very clearly.

Fortunately, Victor replaced him with a prosthetic eye. Therefore, David could clearly see the current situation in the distance by using the function of the prosthetic eye at this moment.

"Wait a minute, those guys don't seem to be from the Valentino Gang?" Jack said.

"Yes...Jack, they seem to be people from the Animal Gang." David said in surprise. He had dealt with people from the Animal Gang. These guys with big muscles and abnormally large bodies were probably from the Animal Gang.

No one is running away!

"Animal Gang? Why are they here? They even fought with the Sixth Street Gang." Jack said in confusion.

"Wait a minute, they don't want to fish in troubled waters, right?" Jack suddenly reacted, clapped his hands hard, and then said: "Haywood is guarded by the Valentino Gang, there are many people, and they are united, so they are

Don’t dare go to Heywood.”

"You mean, the Sixth Street Gang is protecting us now?" David asked.

"Protection? You're thinking too much." Lucy put her arm on David's shoulders and leaned against him and said lazily:

"In the eyes of the Six Street Gang, this street and the people on this street are just their assets, so they are just protecting their assets from infringement."

"..." David was silent.

Assets?...

He felt that what Lucy said was right. The Six Street Gang's gang graffiti was all over the streets and alleys of Santo Domingo. This area did belong to the Six Street Gang.

"It's broken, there's someone coming over there too, David, look at the road over there, who's coming?" Jack reached out and patted David's shoulder, indicating to David to see who it was.

His prosthetic eyes are not as advanced as David's, and he can only see roughly. After all... Jack doesn't have much money in his pocket. Although Mrs. Wells owns a bar in Heywood, Will

The Si family is not rich, and Jack will not go to Mrs. Wells to ask for money.

Therefore, Jack still uses the old style prosthetic eyes.

"It's those lunatics from the Whirlpool Gang." David looked over there. Many large cars were driving on the road. In the window of the oncoming car, there was a missing face. The whole face was made of machinery, and the hollow space in the face exuded...

Scary dangerous man with red light.

He was driving the car with a maniacal laugh, and behind the car were a group of madmen from the Whirlpool Gang.

"The Whirlpool Gang is here too, and the Scavengers are bound to come anyway. I say, Santo Domingo is really not safe tonight." Jack said with his arms crossed.

As he said that, he glanced at Lin Wen, who found that Lin Wen and Gloria were sitting side by side on the sofa, watching Stanley's late-night news show.

At this moment, a doctor who called for the protection of birds was being booed, and some people were throwing things on the stage.

"Have you forgotten about bird flu? Look down here, doctor, the people sitting here, they all have friends and family members who died from that epidemic, but now you want us to protect birds? Your body

Could it be engine oil flowing in it? How could you say such cold words?"

"No, Stanley, that's not what I meant. Listen to me, the epidemic really has nothing to do with birds. If we continue to exterminate birds like this, it will only cause greater damage to the ecology we live in. Believe me, I will investigate

After that epidemic..."

"Shut up!" Stanley stepped on the table, pointed at the doctor's nose, and waved his arms: "You really turned a blind eye to this, right doctor? Because you didn't have any family members who died in that epidemic!"

"This is not the same thing at all!" the doctor shouted.

"There's a fight outside, how can they still watch the news with peace of mind..." Jack smacked his lips, and his desire to share disappeared immediately.

"The people from the Sixth Street Gang are starting to retreat. The people from the Whirlpool Gang and the Animal Gang are all lunatics. This street is going to suffer." Lucy lowered her eyes and said with certainty.

"Of course, the people of the Sixth Street Gang are different from the people of the Valentino Gang. For the sake of their families, the Valentino Gang can fight against the devil, but what about the people of the Sixth Street Gang?" Jack said proudly after listening to Lucy's words.

.

He was also a member of the Valentino Gang, but even if he has left the gang now, when Jack introduces himself, he will say: "I am the son of Haywood, a member of the Valentino Gang, and my body is full of blood."

The blood of legend, the future legend of Night City!"

Well, these are all his own words.

"There should be a fight over at Heywood by now, right?" David looked at Jack and said.

"Maybe, but I can't say for sure," Jack said.

Time passed bit by bit, and David and the other three didn't move a step, just looking at the situation below.

Just as Lucy said, the Sixth Street Gang began to give in. After dozens of corpses were lost, the Sixth Street Gang withdrew from the neighborhood and began to form a group to protect other places, the places abandoned by the Sixth Street Gang.

, it naturally became the paradise of the Animal Gang and the Whirlpool Gang.

It was as if they had made a deal. When they met, the two gangs with different beliefs did not fight. Instead, they communicated well and began to rob the neighborhood.

The iron door of the store was blasted by a rocket launcher, the door of the convenience store was smashed, and these guys broke in.

"Why haven't the police come yet? It's been half an hour. There's no way the police haven't received the message." David looked at this scene and said very unhappy.

He wanted to go out... wanted to do something. He had lived on this street for a while. When David went to school every day, he would go to the convenience store to buy some food, and in that store, David also

I had a few words with the chubby white-bearded boss.

Very familiar?

Not really.

But... there is still some friendship.

David is a very emotional guy. If Lin Wen and Mann hadn't warned him to rein in his sense of justice, he might have run away by now.

He is no longer the unarmed boy he once was. Now he is wearing an advanced prosthetic body. Although he has not yet installed weapon implants like Mann, David can easily kill vicious gangsters with just his strength and firearms.

and mercenaries.

Fat Jesus Deshawn's bodyguard was killed by David with his head cut off.

"Police? Then you have to wait for them until morning. They won't come until morning."

Jack sneered and said, "If this happened in Westbrook, the police would arrive in ten minutes, but this is Santo Domingo, an abandoned industrial area. Do you understand David?

Whether it's Heywood or Santo Domingo, in the eyes of those bastards, the more people who die, the better."

"Anyway, Night City never lacks population. People enter Night City every day."

David was silent.

The three of them stood quietly by the window, watching the gang members clean up a street.

"Hey, are those guys coming towards us now?" Jack suddenly said.

David nodded.

There are a few lunatics from the Whirlpool Gang coming this way. It seems... they are planning to go upstairs?

David clenched his fists, and the discomfort became more and more intense.
To be continued...
