I give the world destruction and rebirth

The news of Wolfgang's appearance at the Taha Gang's shelter spread throughout the world in less than half an hour. Even Soult and Annie, who were 'visiting relatives' in Night City, heard about it.

At this time, Surte was taking Annie to the Afterlife Bar to inquire about the news. As a legendary place in the past, Rogge, who was good at dancing, had regained the right to operate the Afterlife Bar after several years of hard work and paying a corresponding price. And completely turned this place into a neutral place.

The Afterlife Bar opens its door to welcome every visitor to Night City, regardless of identity or background. As long as they don't openly bring trouble, Rogge is willing to buy them a drink.

Before the Apocalypse, this place used to be the most disciplined place in Night City, but now is a new era. Rogge has chosen a more open business policy. Only players and naturalized people are not allowed to enter. Others, even dogs, are not allowed to enter. I can get some food here.

"New here? I've never seen you like this before." The bartender at the Afterlife Bar is a tall, thick man who looks like Martin who just joined the bar. In terms of body shape, he is very suitable for this position.

The newcomer the bartender mentioned was of course Surte. He found it troublesome, so he put on the dust cap and mask he got from the predators on Annie, and ended up wandering around in a cloak.

When I entered the bar, the specially made protective clothing and cloak leaked occasionally. Just looking at the material, it was not ordinary.

People who can work as bartenders in the Afterlife Bar are good at observing people's emotions. When a person wearing expensive equipment sits there and drinks in a swaggering manner, and there is no sign of nervousness in his body, then he is definitely not easy to mess with. After the first round of asking two guests who set foot in the Afterlife Bar for the first time, they only kept the most basic inquiries.

"Come and visit Night City. I used to be from Night City." Surte showed a bright smile. He felt that he was really from Night City. After his parents passed away, he only found a home here. Feel.

It's a pity that this world is full of disasters, and we don't know how much remains of the house where they hid.

Although Surte just gave a simple answer, the bartender still extracted the information he needed. The newlyweds came from a large shelter, and spent the period of the big storm in a dormant warehouse. Otherwise, The other party will not be so young.

As the big storm gradually subsides, humans begin to return to the surface, and those humans who once hibernated in hibernation chambers are gradually waking up.

Taking Valentino as an example, they are planning to revive the hibernating population. In fact, they are blocking the food supply line to revive the population.

Gusvota wants to be the first person,

To achieve such an ambition, Gusvota needs a lot of human resources, not just the Valentinos. Their background is too low after all. They may be trained to become qualified warriors, but a country ultimately needs to have Teachers, scientists, judges, etc.

And those shelters that were one step behind became the perfect substitute for the Valentinos. Vault 97 alone allowed Valentino to completely control Night City. If they work harder, maybe the entire California is not a dream. !

The biggest problem facing Gusvota now is that there are too few vehicles available to effectively influence and control the refuges in the surrounding areas. The ubiquitous predators have also become a refuge and a refuge. communication is the biggest problem.

There is a proposal on Gusvota's table at this time, which comes from the former Federation Commander Luther.

"We all know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we are slow, we will miss it." Luther talked in front of Gusvota: "When our ancestors came to this strange land, they relied on railway connectivity. We have created one piece of civilized land after another, so that civilization will not be destroyed in silence like an isolated island. Now we can do it again."

"Mr. Luther, I'm afraid you have forgotten that before you guys came here, my ancestors had been living here for hundreds of thousands of years and had a prosperous civilization." Gusvota reminded lightly.

Although the Valentino Gang has always considered itself a local gang in Night City, they rely on culture as a link to maintain relationships within the gang.

They are Mexicans, Colombians, and the real owners of this land.

"I'm just giving you an example. You don't want to play any racist tricks on me at this time, do you?" Luther almost choked to death at the other party's words.

Looking at the current population distribution of Night City, maybe these Valentinos are the main population, and everyone else is considered a minority. From a more strict global perspective, the entire human race is considered a minority. Endangered species.

"I just want to remind you, at least don't use your rhetoric outside." Gusvota saw Luther deflated, and then remembered the other person's previous identity, and he felt relieved: "Is our steel production enough? "

"You can dig deep into the ruins of the city. We are sitting on the largest unnatural iron mine in the world, aren't we?" Luther has never worried about steel production. He estimates that digging up a few blocks of scrap metal will be enough for them to build the railway all the way. The East Coast.

"I will ask people to conduct a feasibility study. We also have to consider the possibility of the predators destroying the railway." Gusvota said solemnly: "Before the big predator Kona's group is eliminated, the railway plan I’m afraid it’s just a concept.”

"I agree with this, but the reason why they can develop to this point is probably because of your support, right?" Luther asked with a smile.

Facing Luther's question, Gusvota just smiled and did not answer, neither admitting nor denying.

A mature politician will naturally learn what it means to leverage others' strength. Valentino needs to expand his influence, and providing help in times of need is naturally much more effective than adding icing on the cake.

For example, Palm Springs Asylum, if it were not for the harassment of the big predator Kona, I am afraid they would not fall to Valentino so easily.

But this kind of thing cannot be said clearly. Gusvota does not believe that people like Luther have never done anything dirtier than him. What happened in his shelter is dirty enough. You know, Luther's The shelter is still in a semi-closed state so far, and the few Valentinos who are qualified to go there for vacation have kept silent about what happened inside.

"We are completely opposed to Kona." Gusvota concluded the matter.

But Luthor's look of "You keep making it up, I believe it all" made Gusvota feel a little sick, so he said a few more words: "We suspect that there are multiple sponsors behind Kona, and his rise is faster than we expected. Much faster.”

As a veteran in the political arena, Luther naturally understood the subtext - we are not the only sponsors, we are not even the title sponsors, and now we are out of luck. Not only is the big predator Kona not our dog, he has become our food. This human tiger needs to be taken seriously now, and no one should think about playing the tacit understanding card.

But are there other sponsors behind the Grand Predator Kona? Luther felt that he smelled a familiar smell of conspiracy, but he did not want to share this matter with Gusvota for the time being. After all, Valentino, an emerging force, was a bit too 'dictatorial' in Luther's eyes. Yes, it is not a good thing for a force to be dominated by one family.

Until Luther has enough say, he doesn't intend to let Valentino get any benefits from his past connections.

With this idea in mind, after Luther left Gusvota's office, he secretly made an appointment with a clone of Mikkelsen to come to his shelter to get together.

Luther found this Mikkelsen by chance. The other party used the standard version of Mikkelsen's face without any cover-up. He was completely bullying Valentino because his previous level was too low and he had never seen him in person. looks.

It can be imagined that when Luther came to the Valentino people's territory for the first time to discuss cooperation matters, he suddenly passed by Mikkelsen wearing a garbage collector uniform and stared at him with meaningful eyes. What mood.

In short, Luther failed greatly in that negotiation and accidentally lost many of the rights he should have fought for during the negotiation.

But working with Mikkelsen again would still bring more advantages than disadvantages to Luthor. Don't you see, politicians who had a bad relationship with Mikkelsen or were not strong enough now can't even find their ashes.

If you look at the occupations of survivors around the world, you will find that in terms of proportion, even garbage collectors have a higher chance of entering a shelter than politicians. This is still based on the fact that there is an entire shelter in the name of preserving the government structure. On the basis of specifically housing government officials in the name.

It can be said that human beings returned to the surface to develop after the weakening of the big storm without a greater degree of conflict. In addition to physical distance restrictions, there were not so many politicians with big ambitions, which played a considerable role.

"What kind of wine is this?" Soult asked with a grin on his face. As a wild child, he had actually drank several times before being taken away by Tang Ji, but what good wine could be obtained by the Skull and Bones Party? liquor.

After being supervised by Tang Ji, Soult faced a strange situation. He could kill people, but he couldn't drink.

Then, before Sirte came of age, the Apocalypse came, and no one in the shelter dared to give Sirte a drink. On the one hand, Dr. Wu Qianying watched closely, and on the other hand, Dr. Wu also publicly stated that if Sirte did not Be careful if you drink too much and want to go out for a run. Whoever provides him with drinks will chase him.

It turned out that no one wanted to run around with Surte, so Surte never drank again until he entered the hibernation chamber.

But he has always been curious about why those unscrupulous mercenaries in the team drank so much every day that they ended up with something like this, which was just as bad as he remembered.

Annie also had a taste of it. Although the so-called cocktail in the Afterlife Bar had added as many additives as possible to increase the taste, the base liquor brewed with the products of the Gray Field Project could not be saved at all.

However, considering that in this post-apocalyptic environment, human civilization still has abundant food to make wine, you have to admire Mikkelsen's foresight back then.

Without the Gray Field Plan, I am afraid that the shrinking human civilization in the future will have to reduce its population by one-third to survive the big storm. Instead of being like now, those shelters that are functioning normally will have a normal population even before they are opened. increase.

"Is Rogge here? We have met before. Maybe she would like to meet an old friend." If Surte hadn't stuck out his tongue like a puppy when he said this, with a grimace on his face trying to get rid of the strange taste in his mouth If you go out, you will feel more like Tangji.

But because of the high-tech equipment under his cloak, the bartender still cautiously said that he didn't know if Rogge was here now, but because of the customer's face, he was willing to make sure.

Soult was very pleased with the bartender's reaction and felt he was being respected.

Anne sat there without saying a word. She wanted to pretend that she didn't know Surte. Even though she had a lazy temperament and was one of the Seven Deadly Sins, she could clearly see Rogge behind the bar. sitting in the office.

A few minutes later, the bartender reappeared, pointed to a security guard not far away at the bar, and asked him to take over. He led Soult and Annie to Rogge's office.

After many years, Rogge seems to have not changed much. As one of the old legends of Night City, her connections and financial resources are beyond the reach of ordinary people. She has brought a lot of medical supplies and a very high level Gao's prosthetic doctor entered the shelter and used it as a foundation to start his new career.

Even now, Rogge's Prosthetic Clinic is still one of the most indispensable resources in Night City. Many people who have survived from the old era are counting on it to adjust, repair, and even replace their prosthetic bodies. .

"I have a very good memory. If I have seen you, I will definitely remember it, but for now I don't remember that I have seen you. Boy, if you don't want to be beaten up later, you'd better just say so. What's your purpose?" Rogge just glanced at Surte and said directly: "I'll give you twenty seconds."

"Twenty seconds is too long, Rogge, I am Surte." As he spoke, Surte was already sitting opposite Rogge. No one saw how he passed, and the bartender who brought them here was just about to He put on a fierce look, intending to tell them to be wise and not to cause trouble, but now he was trying to relax his expression.
