The wanderer friends outside the city value this business even more, because for the wanderers, farms and pastures are the basis of survival. They farm land, raise chickens, live a self-sufficient life, and also go to Sell ​​smuggled organic meat in the city and buy other things you need.

Living outside the rule of law and relying entirely on tribal autonomy, the wandering tribes still lived like nomads in the 1970s.

But compared with the city, it is not certain which one has the "rule of law" better. The laws of the tribe are much easier to use than those in the city.

The Rangers value loyalty most. No matter what the code of conduct is, loyalty to the tribe always comes first.

In fact, most of the wandering tribes around Night City have been here for a long time. As one of the largest cities in the United States, Night City has sufficient attraction and spending power.

The unregulated bad land outside the city also provides ample living space for the wanderers. Many tribes choose to settle outside the Night City. If they can avoid wandering, who would want to run around?

"The Badlands is really big."

On the Thracian car, V said, she and Jack both traveled to the Badlands a lot. They used to take smuggling orders, so the road to the border station was naturally very familiar.

The environment in the Badlands is harsh. Vast deserts, Joshua trees, low hillsides, dry oil fields, piles of waste, and isolated towns form a picture called dilapidated. Asphalt roads crisscross the wasteland, but some of them have been buried under sand.

"Sometimes I think, it's really amazing that those homeless people can survive in a place like this. I definitely wouldn't be able to stand it. I can't stand just eating sand here every day."

Looking at the dust sweeping not far away, Jack complained. They had left the city and arrived on the bad land. Thrace was driving on the road. This car was actually not suitable for driving out of the city. This was not that A professional off-road model.

"Do you think people don't have entertainment options? Mobile libraries, network operation stations, communication centers, and larger homeless camps even have their own mobile cinemas and theaters."

Ke Ling glanced at Jack and said, to put it harshly, the education level of the homeless people was much higher than that of the cow and horse residents in the city, and their lives were much more fulfilling than those of the cow and horse residents in the city.

Most wanderers are more educated than the cows and horses in the city, because they follow the educational tradition of old American rural families, rather than the current "barbaric education."

In many cases, the spoken language of homeless people is often more complex and sophisticated than the language used by residents of big cities.

"Really? I always thought they were homeless wretches, but there are actually homeless people watching plays? Studying philosophy?"

V obviously has some prejudice against homeless people. After all, in the official propaganda of the city, homeless people are a group of social parasites who make a living by stealing and attacking careless travelers. They are plunder that must be braced for when traveling in a bad land. By.

V didn't have much contact with the people of the homeless tribe. Those homeless people always wore rustic clothes and were very fussy about doing things. They were not happy at all and were not to her liking.

"The Wanderer tribe appeared no later than Night City, and it has been almost a hundred years now. They have naturally summed up their own survival philosophy. Don't really think of them as a group of homeless vagrants. Think of Mei Tower Group.”

Ke Ling mentioned a name, Meta Group, which was one of the original seven wanderers. But unlike other wanderers, Meta Group is now a serious registered company and holds a large number of shares in many logistics companies. It can be called a "logistics giant", occupying more than 50% of the U.S. market.

The corporate headquarters of the Meta Group is located in Meta Port, a mobile island where the entire company is wandering at sea.

"Tsk, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that the Meta Group is also one of the seven wandering nations. Do you think that Victoria Meta still thinks she is a wandering person? I don't think she will."

V couldn't help but be speechless, but she obviously didn't think that the Meta Group was still related to the wanderers, driving a mobile island to wander around, right?

"Who knows, anyway, there are no people from the Meta Group among the people we want to meet, but there are families from the Adecados. These Adecados have been rooted outside Night City for a long time, at least fifty or sixty years. They also helped during the Great Reconstruction.”

Jack interjected, he was talking as he drove, he had already done his homework in advance for the person he was going to meet this time.

"Night City owes them. After the nuclear explosion, the Ye Group and the city government hired them to remove nuclear radiation and remove the ruins and rubble at the Arasaka Tower ground zero point. The ruins were cleaned up, but the promised treatment was not available, and people died. A lot of people."

Ke Ling also knew a lot about the relationship between Adecado and Night City. After all, the wife he chose when playing male V was Panam, and Panam Palmer was a member of Adecado. .

"Tsk, I hope these Adecado people can be more friendly."

V was speechless again. This didn't sound like a good thing. These homeless people in Adecado wouldn't hate the city people more than the Haitians in Taipingzhou, right? Companies are really evil.

Thrace moved forward hard, which made Jack keep mumbling that he should buy another car. Thrace preferred armored commercial vehicles, which was really inconvenient in the bad land. It was okay to have roads, but there were no roads. It's so refreshing to run.

"Someone is coming."

Ke Ling's ears twitched. He leaned out of the window and scanned the surroundings with his prosthetic eyes. Sure enough, there were two cars approaching, as well as several motorcycles.

“The Wanderer’s Little Mule.”

Jack looked in the rearview mirror and recognized what kind of car it was. Tingwei's Colby Lone Peak, nicknamed the Little Mule, was a car that could pull, so this car was very popular among wanderers who often moved around.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of gunfire rang out, and the "little mules" were obviously not very friendly. They started shooting directly at Thrace, intending to force Thrace to stop. This group of people obviously came with bad intentions.

"Fuck! Maybe Luandao knew it!"

V cursed, stuck his head out and started to fight back. With a "bang bang bang" sound, a motorcyclist was swept out of the car. The rider fell to the Gobi ground and rolled around.

"Bang bang bang!"

Ke Ling also fired back. His marksmanship was already quite good, and with the help of his visual cortex, although he was not a marksman, his accuracy was good and he could pose quite a threat. The motorcycles the two of them were pressing down on Don't dare to move your hands forward to harass.

But unfortunately, the "little mules" were much faster than Thracian on this bad soil. Two "little mules" came over from both sides and started to squeeze Thracian. This made Jack very angry. , although the "little mule" is also equipped with light armor, it can't compare with Thrace. How dare you come and collide with it?

"boom!"

Jack was not polite and directly rammed into the "little mule" next to him. The two cars collided and the armor of the car body scratched out sparks. At this time, the advantage of Thracian's heavy body was reflected. A "little mule" "Mule" was quickly pushed aside.

"boom!"

There was an explosion, and a rocket bomb hit the road. Fortunately, Jack swung his tail and successfully dodged. He began to curse, these random swordsmen have no moral ethics!

Luan Dao is the collective name for the wanderers expelled from the wandering tribe. They are the real homeless. They mainly make a living by looting. They often wander in the bad land and ambush unsuspecting passengers and company transportation. team, and their most ardent target, the other wanderers' camps.

"Stop the car and get rid of them."

Ke Ling made a decision. These gangsters may have misunderstood. It can only be said that the image of Thracian "business armored vehicles" is too deeply rooted in people's hearts. They may think that the car is a company dog, and kidnapping and extorting company dogs is also a gangster. People like to do it.

"Buzz! Bah!"

Jack braked gracefully and Thrace stopped on the highway. Ke Ling opened the car door and jumped out, directly hitting a "little mule". Four scales stuck out and plunged directly into the open window. , the people from the Luandao Club opened the window and shot, obviously they did not expect Ke Ling to be so fierce.

"Bah!"

The two "little mules" made an emergency stop, and the motorcyclists also gathered around. V got out of the car, holding a gun in his hand, and drove the Sianwistan directly. "Bang, bang, bang" gunshots continued to sound, and the marksman's bullet pointed at him. Wherever they hit them, they would fall to the ground quickly.

In the first wave of firefights, the people of the Sword Club were stunned. This was completely different from what they thought. They thought they caught a fish on the chopping board, but it turned out to be a shark that chose people to eat.

"Fuck! The idea is tough! Get out, get out, get out!"

After being stunned, some people immediately turned around and wanted to evacuate. For the Luan Dao Club, there was no such thing as companions. They were all a group of scum who gathered together because they had no other choice and had nothing to do with each other. camaraderie.

However, Ke Ling, V, and Jack obviously didn't intend to let these people go. These bullies wanted to run away after causing trouble? What do you think they are? The lady in the dark alley?

"Buzz buzz!"

Ke Ling and the other three were massacring the people of the Luan Dao Gui, and another group of people came closer, with conspicuous signs on their cars.

"It's from Adecado."

Ke Ling recognized the sign. It had a red background, a white dinosaur head, and the word Adecado written on the back. A serious tribe of wanderers would put the sign in a conspicuous place. The wanderers valued this kind of family affiliation very much. .

The wanderers are divided into different states, and the states are divided into many tribes, and the tribes are further divided into families. This difference can be judged from their colors, jackets, and decals on their cars and motorcycles. Even each family has its own unique own logo.

"Bang bang bang!"

Adecado's men started shooting, and the targets were naturally those from the Knife Club. They came over to help very proactively.

"Kill these nocturnal ghosts!"

A female voice roared, and Ke Ling looked over. It was a black-haired woman. She leaned out from the passenger seat and kept firing with a gun. She looked wild, like a grinning cheetah.

"Panam."

Ke Ling recognized the woman at a glance. It was naturally Panam Palmer from Adecado. She was not much different from her image two years later, except that she looked younger.

Ke Ling, V, and Jack cooperated with Adecado's people to eliminate all the random knife guilds. This gang of random knife guilds was actually organized. They called themselves "Night Wandering Ghosts." As you can see, this The gang's clothes all have cyan colors, and their logo is a cyan ghost.

"Thanks, friend Adecado."

After the battle ended, Jack took the initiative to negotiate with Adecado's men. Adecado's men drove two cars. Panan got out of the car and came over with long legs to shake Jack's hand.

"Don't worry about it, it's our job to deal with the night wandering ghosts, and you are very powerful. You can deal with them without our help."

As Panan spoke, he looked at Ke Ling and V with some surprise in his eyes. Where this handsome boy and beautiful girl stood, it was difficult to connect them with the two people who had just killed everyone.

"No, thank you for your help. I'm Jack Wills, and this is Devil and V."

Jack opened his mouth to introduce himself. He especially liked to introduce himself. He would chat with everyone and tell others his name. He mainly had a lot of friends and could know a few people from anywhere.

"Is it you?!"

Panan's face became even more surprised, and he couldn't help but exclaimed. This made the other homeless people in the car get out of the car, and they gathered around, thinking that something had happened here.

"Sure enough, it's a bit earthy."

V approached Ke Ling and complained in a low voice. Of course she was talking about clothes, which made Ke Ling's mouth twitch. What is the focus of this?

"Do you understand what practicality means?"

Ke Ling replied to V. In fact, he didn't really appreciate the street style of Night City, it was a bit too exaggerated.

Compared with the exaggerated street style, the clothes of homeless people are at least practical. Living in a dangerous bad land, their clothes generally pay more attention to function rather than formal fashion. They basically carry backpacks and satchels with them. To ensure that essentials are always within reach.

When traveling to a bad land, it is common sense to bring sufficient water, food and self-defense weapons. The former is to prevent starvation or thirst, and the latter is to prevent being beaten to death. The wandering tribes do have bottom lines and principles, but still There are many people making a living on the highway, such as the "night wanderers" who were killed just now.

In fact, the existence of the Wanderers is an important reason why homeless people are notorious. For most urban residents who do not often encounter homeless people, the Wanderers are homeless, and they carry out various Wanderers. Robbery, ambushes, and attacks on small towns and suburbs were collectively known as "tramp raids."

The Rangers couldn't defend themselves against this inexplicable negative comment, so the normal Ranger tribe would be mortal enemies of Luan Dao, and Adecado and Nightwalker would often fight.

"Are you here to discuss business?"

Ke Ling stepped forward and asked. It was not just the Adecado family they wanted to meet this time. There were many tribes that took the path of Klee Hall, and Adecado was just one of them.

"That's right, let's go. We're almost at the agreed place. Let's talk about it when we get there."

Panan was very resolute. After being surprised, she immediately returned to normal and greeted Adecado's people to get in the car and prepare to leave.

"Let's go."

Ke Ling and the other three also got into the car and set off towards the target together with Adecado's two cars. The meeting place was chosen by the Rangers. It was obviously a place where various families would express their anger with each other.

Soon, they came to their destination, an abandoned small farm. There were many such buildings in the bad land, and there were even deserted ghost towns. Most of these places were occupied by wanderers, who would turn these buildings into It can become their meeting place, living area, hospital, school and other facilities.

"It seems that quite a few people have arrived."

By the time Ke Ling and the others arrived, many cars were already parked at the meeting place, and the group of nocturnal ghosts had indeed delayed some time.

"It seems that everyone is in a hurry. Who asked you to kill Klee Hall? Well done. In fact, I have already disliked the old guy. I hope you can be more reliable than that guy. We Rangers can't He’s not someone to be bullied either.”

Panan got out of the car and joined Ke Ling and the others, complaining as they walked.
