Cyberpunk: 2075

Chapter 506 119. Not sure why

Entering the church again, the current situation inside the church gave Karl a new feeling.

In layman's terms, the church that Carl now sees is a mess.

The podium was in a mess, and the surrounding environment was also messed up by people who had left in a hurry. There were still several corpses lying on the ground that had been taken care of by V and the others first. However, compared to the ones I saw before, a person was reading on it. The people below are either taking drugs or following the words devoutly out of fear. It's like a scene like a resurrected corpse. The current situation is much better.

The resurrected corpse is the most famous and frightening feature of Voodoo. There are even rumors that the inspiration for zombie horror movies in the past was the resurrected corpse of Voodoo.

The source of the resurrected corpse is the curse.

If someone has offended someone else and the other person wants the most horrific revenge, they may go to a voodoo shaman.

The wizard will give them something special - a poison potion made with tetrodotoxin.

Once this medicine enters the body of the person being retaliated against, it will interfere with their nervous system and heart function, causing functional disorders and putting the human body into a state of suspended animation. Then he will be declared dead by the wizard and buried in the ground. .

After the funeral, the wizard will dig up the person who is not dead, rescue him, and then treat the person whose brain and nerves have been destroyed by the poison, like a corpse, who can only rely on instinct to obey orders and eat, as a A slave is used by a slave, and this slave who has lost his mind, is unconscious, unconscious, but can work, and is enslaved and controlled by his master at will, is called a resurrected corpse.

Karl knew very well that Voodoo had something to do with resurrected corpses. From his point of view, those who had gathered to pray out of fear were no different from resurrected corpses even if they were conscious.

Being with a group of resurrected zombies would make people feel uncomfortable. In comparison, this kind of empty place, where everyone has recovered their brains and knows how to escape, is more palatable.

"It feels a bit reminiscent of school time in the autumn afternoon. Everyone is groggy, nodding and looking up like a resurrected corpse during the teacher's lecture."

Not knowing that this was a good memory, Karl murmured to himself, walked into an opened side door next to the church, and then went all the way down in the tunnel that was opened.

The further down, the more Karl felt a special sense of déjà vu.

Why does the surrounding scenery look more and more like a subway station?

"Could this be the subway tunnel built during the construction period of Taiping Prefecture? I didn't expect the Voodoo Gang to put their base in a place like this. This place is really good. If something goes wrong, they just run along the subway route."

“This is the tunnel for the interstate maglev train.”

The T-BUG channel explained: "You could go across the seabed to all parts of the world through this place, but it was abandoned after the war. If the Voodoo Gang hadn't taken the initiative to open the connection today, who would have thought that they had been hiding The old nest will be in a place like this.”

"Abandoned after the war?"

Karl sounded a little confused: "Which war is it, the New American Unification War?"

"It's early. The fourth corporate war was started by the American Ocean Technology and Energy Company and the French International Ocean Company. In the end, Military Technology and Arasaka ended up, and almost all the mainstream companies in the world were involved in the war."

"That's a little early."

Karl walked through the dark tunnel and saw a long section of carriages standing across the track.

Interstate maglev train.

It looks quite luxurious.

While seeing the train, Carl also heard gunshots and running sounds, as if someone was fighting on the other side of the interstate maglev train.

‘I wanted to walk faster, but I ended up slowing down while looking at things on the way. I’m sure Oliver and the others will say I’m lazy later. ’

Karl thought so in his heart, but his pace showed no intention of speeding up at all.

Because as he got closer, all he heard now was the buzz of the thermal samurai swords cutting through the air and the screams of people, and among the sounds, a female voice was particularly harsh.

"KK Team?! Why are you doing this? I remember we didn't offend you. Stop. You can stop now. Who hired you? We are willing to pay double, no, triple!"

Amid the panicked female voice, Karl walked past the interstate maglev train with a rather elaborate interior decoration, came to the other side, and then saw the owner of the female voice in the somewhat dim tunnel.

It was a black woman wearing a thick coat, with short hair and thick lips. She looked quite young. At this time, on the face that was not so clear in the black environment, a pair of prosthetic eyes were shining. .

The first time Karl saw her, he already knew her identity.

Maman-Bridget.

The leader of the Voodoo Gang and one of the most feared cyber hackers in Night City.

Under her leadership, the Voodoo Gang has successfully launched countless cyber attacks against companies and other gangs. As a result, she has been included on wanted lists and bounty lists by many forces. In the public mind, she is a very dangerous person. .

However, this hacker who was so powerful on the Internet that most Night City citizens were frightened when they heard the relevant rumors appeared to be extremely vulnerable when attacked in real life, and his performance was even worse than that of the hacker she had always looked down on in the gang. Placid, whom he despised as a beast.

This is not a particularly strange thing.

Hackers have countless ways to kill beasts like Placid on the Internet, but in reality, it is the beast's turn to show.

A beast like Placid can tear apart countless hackers like Maman-Bridget in reality, not to mention easily solving Placid's KK team.

Under the protection of the Voodoo Gang, Maman-Bridget kept retreating. On the one hand, she wanted to fight for peace, and on the other hand, she was actually trying to invade the system of the KK team members present in her actions, hoping to use a hacking to turn the tide. It was in this situation that she noticed Carl who walked in and looked very leisurely.

Almost without any hesitation, Maman-Bridget had already chosen the candidate.

KK team, if KK was subdued, then the others would not be a problem.

With this idea in mind, she picked up the device she carried with her and wanted to break through KK's ICE and connect.

But almost the next moment she wanted to invade, Carl noticed her action.

‘Data invasion? ’

Carl subconsciously raised his gun, but just as he raised his gun, he found something quite unexpected.

The device in Maman-Bridget's hand suddenly exploded.

The explosion instantly enveloped Maman-Bridget's head.

With almost no movement, the famous voodoo gang leader died in the explosion of the device in his hand.

?

What happened?

Carl, who did not feel any input invasion, was confused.
