Cyberpunk: 2075

Chapter 566 179. The Scavenger of Dog Town

"I don't think we need to exchange pleasantries, Mr. Reed."

The word "Mr." that Carl added to the address caught Reed's attention a little.

Not only does Carl have some intelligence about Reed, Reed also has control over Carl's intelligence, and he controls much more than Carl.

Life, hobbies, blood type, common fighting methods, etc. are all included. The intelligence shows that when Carl adds the word "Mr." to the address, he is expressing a certain degree of respect for male personnel older than himself.

Although we cannot be sure of the extent of this respect, nor can we explain where this respect comes from, whether it is habit or etiquette, what is certain is that when Carl expresses his intention to communicate, we only need to listen for the time being, and he will express his request himself.

Reed, who kept in mind the analysis, heard what Carl said next.

"Let's get straight to business. My mission is to establish contact with you and to assist you to a certain extent in the future. I don't intend to ask too much about your New America or the United Nations Intelligence Agency's plans, but you have the final say on what needs to be done now, and I will follow."

You have the final say and I follow?

Hearing Carl's words, Li De nodded secretly in his heart.

No wonder in the intelligence, whether it was written in the data or the personnel analysis within the CIA, Carl was praised to the sky, believing that if he joined military technology, he would be the Morgan Blackhand in 2077. He not only has the ability and strength, but also knows how to do things.

A mercenary who gets too involved in the mission is not trusted and is not needed, no matter how capable he is. However, a mercenary who is capable and knows the rules is indeed very easy and convenient to work with.

Since he has expressed that there is no need for further explanation and that he will do whatever you say, there is no need to be humble.

Li De spoke directly: "Come with me and go to a familiar place, but first..."

Li De looked at Carl's face that was revealed in front of him: "I need you to cover this face."

"It's not a difficult thing."

Carl inserted the chip and his appearance changed: "But when I entered Dog Town, I still kept my true appearance. Is that okay?"

"Just keep it somewhat hidden."

Li De said this, looking at the vehicle he came from in the distance: "You don't mind walking?"

“Taking a walk once in a while is also good for your mental and physical health.”

After changing his appearance, Carl said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Reed, is your whereabouts okay? Do you need a chip that can hide your face? Do I have any extra ones?"

"My face isn't very recognizable, and I also have this chip that was developed."

As Reed spoke, he inserted the chip into himself. Then his face, which originally belonged to a black man, turned into that of a white man, and the skin color of his entire body also changed.

“We have technology you can’t even imagine.”

"The upgraded version, not only the appearance can be changed, but the whole body can be changed. However, it looks like it is still projection technology, won't there be flaws when it moves?"

"It uses optical camouflage integration technology. There won't be any problems running it for a short period of time. Just don't let it maintain projection overload for a long time."

Li De didn't mind revealing this. Anyway, the military technology initially restarted the relevant projects because of KK's active use, and it wouldn't be long before Arasaka would have a copy of this technology, or even an improved version. Now that both Military Technology and Arasaka have it, it won't be long before it is put on the market.

"This thing is really good. The castrated version will probably be released soon. I might buy one then." Carl never hesitates to praise good things.

The two men chatted as they strolled away from the basketball court. Passing by them were several vehicles speeding towards the site of the firefight between Li De and the previous personnel.

As soon as the newcomers arrived at the scene, they took out the extremely deterrent rocket launchers without hesitation and fired at the vehicle abandoned by Reed.

The flames of the explosion shot up into the sky in an instant, and the heat wave swept in all directions.

Feeling the change in temperature, Carl turned his head slightly to take a look, and it was this glance that made him notice the details that he had not noticed when they passed by just now because they were blocked by Li De's figure.

The group had a marking on their vehicle.

This mark has not appeared in front of Carl in the city for a long time.

It’s not that the force represented by this mark does not exist, but in the area where Carl is active, they no longer dare to do certain things.

"Dogtown is still Dogtown."

Carl sighed: "Even the street cleaners can run out in public, Mr. Li De, I have to apologize to you. Your lateness is completely reasonable and I shouldn't say a few more words to you in this regard, because the street cleaners..."

Carl turned his head.

“But it’s a good thing.”

As Carl turned his head, his small maneuver of the vehicle was completed.

The engine of the scavenger's vehicle began to overheat, and the heat affected the surrounding equipment. During the heat conduction, the alcohol-2 fuel in the fuel tank was ignited.

The scavengers who were cheering and patrolling around for enemies while holding rocket launchers were facing the heat and dust brought by the rocket launchers, but suddenly they felt the heat under their buttocks, and the back cushion was directly ignited and caught fire, which made their cheers stuck in their throats and stopped abruptly.

They couldn't cheer any more.

As the alcohol-2 fuel was completely ignited, this highly contagious and destructive fuel quickly ignited all vehicles.

In the flames, the scavengers were burned and screamed miserably, trying desperately to escape from the vehicle. However, the rockets, grenades and other explosives they stored in the vehicle had become extremely unstable due to the sharp increase in temperature inside the vehicle.

Amid the roar of vehicles and explosions, those high-threat explosives were detonated one after another, making a series of deafening noises.

Flames shot up into the sky, heat waves swept across, and the entire scene instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Feeling the shock wave and sound of the explosion reaching here, Solomon Reed knew what was happening behind him without looking back.

"This method is to crack the vehicle's defenses and hack into the vehicle to make it self-destruct. "

This series of operations was completed at the moment of turning back.

Li De's heart's respect for Carl deepened.

KK, it turns out that it is not someone you can easily understand just by looking at one piece of information.

But under Li De's peripheral vision, Carl was in a good mood and even smiled.

People will naturally feel happy after cleaning up the garbage.
