Cyberpunk: 2075

Chapter 403 16. Checkpoint

"Hera is mostly broken."

In an abandoned town on the side of the road near Night City, V checked Hera and shook his head: "Oliver, your control is too rough. Coupled with the reason for our modification, it is probably impossible for Hera to start again. Too possible."

"You mean, Hera is going to be scrapped?"

Karl looked at the Hera with the roof lifted and white smoke still coming out from under the front hood. He couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia in his heart. Although he had never actually driven a Hera, this Hera was undoubtedly The witness of his career as a mercenary in Night City has been with him to this day. If it was to be scrapped like this, he would still be somewhat reluctant to part with it.

"It won't be scrapped. It just needs a place for professional repairs. After all, the current situation is no different from lying in bed."

V looked at the road signs around the road: "But we are not far from Night City. If you push the car for a while, you should be able to reach the checkpoint. After passing the checkpoint and pushing for a while, you can reach the Sunset Hotel. We are here. There, we can repair the car, and the car will be fine.”

"Want to push all the way?"

Jack rolled up his sleeves: "After all, the car has been carrying us for such a long time. We can't just abandon it in the bad soil.

Then I'll push from behind, and you guys push from the front, but keep your eyes on the steering wheel. "

"Just do it."

Oliver also rolled up his sleeves: "At least it's the car that's been accompanying me all the time."

After everyone decided to push the cart, Sky Hera once again drove on the road at a slow speed.

By the time the personnel at the checkpoint saw an unmanned car approaching slowly, the drone had also spotted four people pushing the car slowly beside the vehicle.

The appearance of the four people had some patterns. The personnel at the checkpoint looked at them through the drone and felt that the four guys covered in dust were wanderers in the bad land.

"The bottom of that car must be the bottom of Hera's car. It's so broken that it still needs to be pushed away. Another group of foreign wanderers and poor ghosts have come to our Night City to beg for food."

A checkpoint personnel connected to the drone spoke to his colleagues and controlled the drone to approach the person pushing the cart into the checkpoint area.

'The vehicle is parked out front and then it's scanned and inspected and we have to do immigration control. "

Listening to the sound coming from the drone, Oliver raised his head: "This is my first time entering the city through a checkpoint. It turns out this is such a procedure. It's strange."

"After all, we used to go to the Taiping Prefecture area, but now it's obviously impossible to continue pushing the cart to the Taiping Prefecture area and make a big circle into the city."

Jack used a little force to stop the Sky Hera in the scanning area of ​​the drone.

The four of them stood next to the car and waited, but the drone immediately flashed a red light after a brief scan.

"Warning, warning, dangerous weapons are carried in the vehicle. Warning, level four prevention regulations are activated. Dangerous weapons are found in the vehicle. Please control the situation as soon as possible!"

When Karl and the others were a little confused, following the indicator light of the drone, fully armed checkpoint personnel with Ajax rifles rushed out of the houses next to the checkpoint, and all Gotta point the gun at Karl and the others.

"The personnel are in place and are now conducting verification and inspection."

A person wearing the thickest body armor, while maintaining the action of pointing the Ajax rifle at Karl and others, walked quickly to the side of the sky Hera, and opened the car co-pilot under the guidance of the drone. There was a compartment, and then, an RPG was placed there.

"Warning, make sure dangerous items are present!"

When he saw that it was an RPG, the inspector's pupils shrank. He hurriedly took a few steps back, as if he was afraid that the RPG would be detonated. At the same time, he held the Ajax rifle pointed at Karl and his men more steadily. .

"In accordance with Night City's security regulations, we are asking why you entered Night City with high-danger weapons. Please answer!"

"Highly dangerous weapons.:::

The four Karls looked at each other, and then reacted as if they were waking up from a dream.

Oh, it seems that RPG weapons are indeed prohibited in Night City. They forgot.

Facing a dozen guns pointed at them, Jack thought about how to answer, but he didn't think of a good answer, so he asked tentatively: "If we throw this thing outside now, the car can go in first, and we can talk about it later." ”

"Answer!"

The gun was obviously pointed more steadily. It was obvious that before, there was only some doubt whether Carl and the others were carrying it intentionally, but now it is certain that they did it knowingly.

"Answer..."

Jack scratched his cheek.

I can't answer this kind of thing.

It can't be said that they bought the goods from Dog Town in Taiping Prefecture, loaded them into the car, ran to Los Angeles, and came back again. Because the car was lying on the ground, they had to push it through the checkpoint.

Seeing that several people were silent, the checkpoint personnel began to slowly surround them. At the same time, the personnel wearing the thickest body armor,

The warning was issued again:

"We now suspect that you are involved in smuggling dangerous weapons and have triggered the Night City Public Security Law. Now we require you to put down your weapons, give up resistance, and accept detention and questioning. According to the Night City Public Security Law, you have carried out dangerous transportation and will be punished. Two weeks to four weeks of temporary detention.”

"Four weeks of temporary detention..."

Oliver felt that the regulations were unexpectedly lenient. Only four weeks in prison was good, but when he thought about what he had heard from the Sixth Street Gang when he was a little boy in St. Domingo about the checkpoints and NCPD detention, he didn't want to go.

I heard that in their temporary detention center, they couldn't even eat synthetic meat. They had porridge for two meals a day, and they had to cook the porridge themselves. When they took it out, it was covered with mold, and there were only a few maggots occasionally that could be used as meat.

"Sorry, we may have to choose to resist."

Carl opened his hands slightly, with a little apology on his face: "If you want me to pay the fine, I don't care, but I have to hurry to repair the car now, and I don't have time to be detained."

Hearing Carl's words, the sound of releasing the gun safety almost immediately rang around them. The Ajax rifle was now ready to fire at any time.

"The target may be ready to resist!"

Looking at these people who were about to shoot, Carl sighed.

Since they were at fault first, they had no choice but to let them lie down and sleep for a while, and leave some medical expenses for compensation later.

Carl's other companions were ready to take action.

Just as the conflict was about to start, a voice ended the tense atmosphere.

"Wait a minute."

A police officer with a strange appearance and wearing an NCPD uniform came over.
