Cyberpunk: 2075

Chapter 488 101. Whole Food Factory

The Uzumaki Gang.

This is an organization established in the red era after the nuclear explosion in Night City in 2023. Its predecessor was once a gang focused on high-intensity crazy transformation. Later, through a series of developments and changes, it evolved into the current gang that is entrenched in the world. The Watson District of Night City has a gang with 1,300 members according to NCPD calculations.

Almost everyone in the Uzumaki Gang will eventually become a cyberpsychopath, but they often don't survive that day, and the crazy transformation in their bodies will overwhelm them and kill them. In this kind of situation, Under such circumstances, the members of the Uzumaki Gang are often young and strong, and are equipped with a variety of high-burden prosthetics.

Faced with such members of the Uzumaki Gang, in street battles, even veterans of the Sixth Street Gang who have rich combat experience, as well as the Tiger Claw Gang who are equipped with sophisticated weapons, will not be able to do well in front of them, and the Uzumaki Gang It is precisely because of this force that the gang can firmly occupy an area of ​​Night City with a smaller number of people than most Night City gangs. In recent years, under the leadership of the boss Brick, Under the command, it began to expand to other neighborhoods.

For Carl, the Whirlpool Gang was the first opponent he encountered when he came to Night City. It was when his head was almost exploded by a stray bullet from the Whirlpool Gang that Carl picked up the gun and aimed it at this Night City, give it a hard start. In the days when he first became a mercenary, his opponents were always the Maelstrom Gang, so intensive that he later started to complain about why it was... Those crazy guys from the Uzumaki Gang.

But now that I think about it, Karl hasn't received any related tasks involving the Whirlpool Gang for a long time.

This is not to say that Carl only targets other gangs, but that there are really no middlemen who will specifically publish tasks related to the Whirlpool Gang.

There's nothing wrong with targeting a few lunatics who won't live long anyway. Even if they go crazy, the Terrorist Mobile Team and the NCPD will deal with it. Why waste this money and see the corpse of that Uzumaki gang member on the street in a few days? .

There are no relevant tasks to be received, and on the other hand, the people of the Whirlpool Gang will not provoke Karl and the others for no reason. They will just go crazy, not fools.

There is a piece of knowledge that is not cold on the streets. The people of the Uzumaki Gang are not stupid. They have excellent prosthetic transformation and related technologies. Otherwise, they would not be able to support their crazy transformation. The gold content of that technology is because there are many experimental products within the gang. 's relationship may even be better than that of other gangs. There are even rumors that some companies' experimental products will be handed over to the Whirlpool Gang for them to use for pre-market 'clinical trials' on the gang.

This group of people know very well who they can mess with and who they are best not to mess with, and it is obvious that Karl and the others are the ones they should not mess with. Even the Whirlpool Gang does not want to mess with Karl and the others unless necessary. conflict.

But just because they don't want to, it doesn't mean that Karl won't cause trouble for them this time.

Taking people's money and doing things for them, Karl had no embarrassment about finding trouble with the Uzumaki Gang.

Just look for them if you want to cause trouble. What can the Uzumaki Gang do? You can't call the police and go to the NCPD for crying grievances.

"Bah."

Karl got out of the stopped Delamain car and stepped on the muddy and oil-stained ground.

Due to the organizational structure of the Whirlpool Gang, groups tend to act in groups unless necessary. Each of these groups will find a stronghold. In most cases, there will be more than thirty active members. This kind of action This method not only prevents one person's cyberpsychosis from affecting other groups, but also ensures the structure of the Whirlpool Gang. Under this kind of action habit, even the people around the boss of the Whirlpool Gang are no exception, and there are only more than thirty people at most.

The place where Brick, the boss of the Whirlpool Gang, recently occupied is a whole food factory located in the northern industrial zone of Watson District. According to the information given by T-BUG, that whole food factory seemed to have been in operation before, but it was destroyed by the Whirlpool. After the gang took over, it became their territory, producing large and small packages of synthetic food for them to sell. Maybe even the food sold by Carl and his gang at the food stall downstairs was purchased from the Uzumaki Gang.

About thirty people

Walking in the midday sunshine, Karl felt that the sun was a bit dazzling today.

It's too glaring.

I just don’t know if the sun on the ground was much more dazzling than the sun in the sky when the nuclear explosion occurred in Night City. Karl read the later accounts of some people who witnessed it, saying that the light of the nuclear explosion was almost two or three times as dazzling as the sun. , just looking at it from a distance can make you blind and shed tears.

Why did I suddenly think of that? It was strange.

Feeling that his thoughts today are a bit strange, Carl thought about it. Today's Night City, unless the corporate war starts again, should not be hit by another nuclear bomb. Military technology and Arasaka's interests are in this aspect, unless it is a war. Only confrontation at any cost can attract the kind of people who share the same interests. Otherwise, there shouldn't be anything going on, and the outcome will be the end of a nuclear bomb.

With this in mind, Carl approached the Whole Foods factory where Brick's Whirlpool Gang was located. The strange thing was that he didn't even feel anything until he was just fifty meters away from the Whole Foods factory. There's a peek inside the Whole Foods factory.

Is there no camera installed on the outside?

Carl, who had been planning to fight the Vortex Gang alone and find Brick to remove his limbs, strangely moved closer. Until he walked to the door of the Whole Foods factory and saw the scanning camera, Carl did not see any movement of the camera.

The camera hung there lifelessly, as if no one was controlling it.

‘Could it be that the information given by T-BUG was wrong and I went to the wrong place? ’

Carl compared the address shown in the information.

That’s right.

Did T-BUG get the wrong place? She actually made such a mistake. It’s really unlike her.

Just when Carl thought he had missed the target and that the territory of Brick’s group of Vortex Gang was not here, he heard a sound in the Whole Foods factory.

“Crackle, crackle—bang—”

The sound was far away, as if it was inside the Whole Foods factory, but the sound made Carl’s expression a little more serious.

Because he would never hear that sound wrong.

In the correct version of Yiyi!

There was a gunshot inside.

It seems that something unexpected happened.

Carl looked at the steel shutter door in front of him and did not hesitate for too long.

The monomolecular line passed by, and a rectangular gap appeared. At the same time, the defense machine gun that was automatically activated behind the shutter door sensed the intrusion and pointed the muzzle at Carl.

"Click, buzz."

The muzzle that had just been raised was automatically retracted the next second.

'Takeover completed. '

Carl walked forward as if he was walking in the street.

Let me see what's going on.
