Cyberpunk: 2075

"The transport crew is fine, the verification is correct....pass it."

The personnel at the checkpoint outside Night City watched Adecado's truck drive slowly in front of them, and watched the account changes displayed on the prosthetic eyes. Their expressions remained unchanged, and they quickly greeted the next vehicle. .

I was lucky today. Adecado's car passed by during my shift, and I made a little extra money.

"Luckily, today is an acquaintance check."

Adecado's truck driver said to Karl, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "A new guy came in last time when we were transporting goods. It took us a long time to get there."

"Are inspections so easy now?"

Karl saw that he didn't even get out of the car, and the Adecado driver just opened the window and stuck his head out to successfully complete the verification, and he had a rough impression of the current cargo delivery.

"It's okay to live up to your reputation, but you also have to understand the rules. Transport prohibited items that shouldn't be transported less. Even if they are discovered, you have to bear the responsibility yourself. As long as the people from the city council don't take the time to check, nothing will happen. If something happens, even if you go in and stay there for a while, you will be released on bail.”

The driver sent by Adecado to help Karl transport things said this, and still mentioned the things they were transporting:

"But the thing behind us is not within this scope. The most we can do is sneak some smuggled real meat and firearms in. If someone like you, KK, is discovered, you will have to come forward, otherwise It’s hard to explain.”

"This thing is indeed...:

Carl nodded in understanding.

Once the transportation of ACPA is discovered, it is not so easy to solve. This is not a pediatrician's transportation of real meat that can be ignored by sending some ordinary NCPD police officers to take care of it. No matter how minor this incident is, it will not be solved easily. It has to be put on the city council's meeting table, and it might become another political incident.

The people in the city council will not believe that this thing belongs to Carl's team. Because of Carl's status as mercenaries, those people who are extremely paranoid will 90% suspect that this ACPA is brought in, and someone is entrusting Carl behind the scenes. team, and the person behind the scenes may be targeting himself who has not received relevant information.

By then, the incident will have nothing to do with Karl and the others. People in the city council may have started to take action in various places, and the news should be broadcast for a while.

In fact, if the city council is just suffering from paranoia and trying to clean up each other, Karl would not care. After all, he is happy to take on some work during this period, but it would not be good if the cost is that the ACPA is disposed of.

The ACPA that has not been exposed is basically a gang that more or less hides it for its own use, while the ACPA that is exposed is only for "special treatment". The last time it was exposed to the public, Carl personally participated in the ACPA Regarding the incident, Military Technology and Arasaka's press release have been arguing for a long time. This is a scary big toy that would be fine if not exposed, but would escalate to a political level if exposed."

Sitting in the moving truck, Karl was actually thinking about Sol's suggestion to store the ACPA in Adecado, but some things were always a bit obsessive.

Carl has remembered this thing ever since he lost two forearms due to this thing. In addition to the thoughts of other people in the team when he returned home this time, Karl's own idea of ​​following up on the research also played an important part. .

To open an ACPA, you need to install special prosthetics and equipment. Naturally, Carl would not choose to open such a thing by putting more burden on his body. What he wants more is to find this thing by disassembling and studying the ACPA. weakness.

Tutorials about ACPA and equipment information are all top secret. Even if you can buy related Black Mewtwo and information on the black market, it is still limited. It is definitely not as good as directly holding an ACPA in front of you for research. And as long as Karl studies this ACPA thoroughly, he will definitely be able to solve it by analogy when dealing with other ACPAs.

Carl does not need to reverse engineer the information to decipher the ACPA. That aspect may be of interest to V. What Carl wants is to know where the ACPA is burdened when taking action, where it will not be noticed, and where it is a weak point, and then in real When encountered, target that well-studied area with surgical precision.

As long as you study this thing thoroughly, the Adam Hammer wearing dragoon-modified armor will be close.

In the past battle with Adam's Hammer, because he was not familiar with things, he could only attack at the weakest point. Karl also remembered that based on his understanding of Adam's Hammer, Adam's Hammer would never leave this weakness next time. Well, if they were to face each other again, he would have to rely on his understanding of the armor to dismantle it.

As the saying goes, things can only come in threes. Karl and Adam Hammer competed twice. Once they failed miserably, once they were tied as a team, and the third time.

Carlco had to let this legendary crusher kneel in front of him.

"It won't be far."

Clenching his hand and feeling the strength of his arm, Karl looked outside through the glass in front of the car window.

After driving into the city and passing through Santo Domingo, they encountered a group of NCPD police officers blocking the road as they passed through Haywood and prepared to go from the city center to Watson District.

Judging from the situation, it seems that something happened on the road section in front of me.

"Passage is temporarily not allowed in front, please go around."

A woman in NCPD police uniform came to the truck and gestured for the truck to detour, but Karl, who looked familiar to her, lowered the window: "Oleona?"

"Are you...KK?"

Oriona, who had met Karl once before when she took on the Cormac mission, was stunned, and then her expression changed slightly: "Did you actually start picking up transportation jobs?"

"I'm also wondering how a former mercenary became NCPD."

Listening to Karl's words, Oliona looked at him, then looked around:

"Didn't I think I was rescued by you and the NCPD that time? You know, as for the family blood thing, both Cormac and Kilai died after that incident, and I don't have anyone I know well in the city anymore. Originally, I listened to the old captain and wanted to continue working as a mercenary under him;

As a result, at that time, Andy sent me an invitation and asked me if I wanted to try out for any special team of the NCPD. I considered my uncle's situation and that he might plan to take revenge on my family after he was released from prison, so... ． "

"So you accepted Andy's invitation?"

"That's right. In the past, my father always asked me to find a serious job. It would be better to choose some bullshit military technology. Now I didn't expect that I would become the NCPD."

Oriona sighed: "Seeing you reminds me of the current atmosphere in the team. When I first joined, I didn't know how you did it. Everyone in the team respected you until I got first place. Until I received a bonus, I understood why so many people are willing to wait for you and work hard for you;

Hell, working as a cop is more profitable than being a mercenary, safety is guaranteed, and benefits are pretty good. If I had known better, I would have been a mercenary before.

You've been working as a pawn for a long time. People on the streets don't think it's appropriate to say pawns. I'm afraid they don't want others to compete for their position. "

"My subordinates will work hard for me?"

The more Carl listened, the weirder he got: "Is this what Andy is promoting?"

"There is no need to publicize it. Who in the NCPD doesn't know that everyone can eat, drink, get a lot of money, and who is helping with equipment. But you, you seem to have no idea at all."

Oriona complained and waved to the other NCPD officers: "Make way, clear up, it's Carl."

Hearing that it was Karl, the NCPD who was setting up a cordon next to him made a commotion, and then moved very quickly. Half a minute later, a cleared route appeared in front of the truck.

"Come over, our legendary Mr. KK."

Oriona crossed her hands and said, "Remember to come to the NCPD station and have something to eat together when you have time. Everyone in the station is waiting for you to come and show off. I still owe you a life."

"As long as you don't call me sir, it's easy to talk about. Besides, our legend, these words are too disgusting."

Karl complained and waved to Olionna: "I will go when I have time. Say hello to Andy and Mr. Johnson for me."

'Say hello...:

Watching the truck Carl was riding in slowly passing by, Oliona glanced at her colleagues standing on both sides, looking at their expressions of respect and respect even though they could not see it.

"I'm afraid not everyone will have to say hello to you later. TMD and NCPD have become the KK's nest."

She said that, but Oliona looked at her account which had just been paid not long ago, and then thought about the life she had saved, she still stood there and paid attention to the car Karl was sitting in.

Mr. KK...

This time the true kindness is not over yet.
