Start in Night City

Lucy blinked, Qilusi's prosthetic eyes zoomed in to enlarge the distant scenery, and then she nodded: "I see it."

"Hack in and tell us what's going on inside."

"I see."

Lucy's eyes lit up with red light, and everyone else waited patiently.

It took several minutes for the light in Lucy's eyes to disappear.

"You are right, there is indeed no one in the airport."

"Did you see any signs of damage or explosions?"

Lucy shook her head and said, "No, I have checked all areas inside and outside the airport, and there are no signs of damage."

"That's weird."

Su Xiao originally thought that the airport was closed because of the emergence of terrorists or cyberpsychosis.

But if these are not available, then why is the airport still closed, and even the police are asked to block it?

Any store will try its best to stay open, because only when it is open will people come to shop.

If a "store" like an airport stops operating, it will cause huge economic losses.

The senior management of the airport and the Salamanca Group will understand this truth.

"Su," Jack glanced at Jose and Maria, who were sitting in the back row, sandwiched between V and Lucy. They didn't dare to speak for fear of disturbing them. He said in the communication channel, "Will you?

Is it related to them? "

Lidya Su also glanced at them quickly.

"It's not impossible."

If the Salamanca Group already knew that the hostages had escaped, then it would make sense for them to contact the Tijuana Police Department and ask them to block the airport.

After all, flying out of Tijuana is the quickest way.

And if this way is blocked, they can only drive away.

Although Tijuana is not far from San Diego, California, it is only 19 kilometers in total, and San Diego also has an airport, where they can fly back to Night City.

But Tijuana is a city in Mexico after all, and San Diego, California, belongs to the western states.

The two are blocked by a long barrier.

If you want to go to San Diego, you have to cross the border.

This is a lot less hassle than taking a plane directly in Tijuana.

Jack looked at the Tijuana police officers standing behind the blockade in the distance and asked, "Then what should we do now? Are we going to break through?"

Su Xiao immediately shook her head and rejected Jack's proposal.

"It's useless to break in. Of course these police officers can't stop us, but don't forget, there are only planes and no pilots in the airport. It's useless even if we rush in."

"Now, this is all we can do. We first go to find a motel outside the city. Places like motels generally do not register personal information, so even if we check in, we don't have to worry about people from the Salamanca Group looking for us. Come up."

"Then, let's... wait a moment. A question suddenly occurred to me. Why don't I call the pilot directly and ask about the situation?"

In Lidya Su's mind, an idea suddenly flashed out.

After they got off the plane and left the airport, the pilot assigned to them by Dante Gonzalez stayed on the plane and did not leave the plane.

The two parties also exchanged phone numbers in case of emergency.

Lidya Su had forgotten this just now, and only remembered it now.

If the pilot has been evacuated along with the airport staff, it would be best to call him to find out what's going on.

"I'll fight."

Two blue lights lit up in Jack's eyes.

"How about it?"

"Can't get through."

In this world of 2077, although mobile phones still occupy a place, more people are accustomed to using built-in communication implants.

The latter is not only convenient, but also more concealed.

In particular, mercenaries, field agents, and the military who often operate on the front line also prefer to use built-in communication implants.

That pilot also used this instead of a cell phone.

Now that Jack says he can't get through, there is only one possibility:

The pilot sent to them by Dante had been discovered by the Salamanca Group and brutally killed.

"Let's go, let's go now."

Su Xiao made a quick decision and overturned the previous plan to see the situation: "We are leaving Tijuana right now."

Although I don’t know how the Salamanca Group got the news - logically speaking, even if they found out that the hostages were missing after Su Xiao and others left, they shouldn’t have been able to pinpoint their escape route so quickly. take plane.

Just kidding, if the Salamanca Group was so powerful, they would have ruled the entire Mexico long ago. How could they still be just the king of Tijuana?

But no matter how the Salamanca Group knew the news, and how it was so efficient, it allowed the Tijuana police to close the airport...

All in all, it's no longer safe here.

They can't stay here any longer.

Jack was surprised and said: "Leave Tijuana? What do you mean..."

Lidya Su didn’t even think about it.

"We drove across the border to San Diego and from there we flew back to Night City."

Chapter 233 The sky is clear today (3K)

"But crossing the border requires formalities. We don't have valid documents. We will be caught at the border and there is no way we will be allowed to pass."

"Just look for the smuggler." Although Su Xiao has never been to Tijuana, he knows that at the border between California and Mexico, there have always been smugglers who make money by taking people across the border.

Although they do not have valid documents to go abroad, as long as they find the smuggler and give the smuggler a sum of money, they can cross the border like other stowaways.

As long as it crosses the border, it is no longer within the territorial scope of Mexico, and it also leaves the sphere of influence of the Salamanca Group.

Now that he had made up his mind, without further ado, Su Xiao immediately started the car, left the airport, and headed out of the city.

…

After driving some distance along the road out of the city, Su Xiao suddenly noticed that Jack, who was sitting next to him, frequently looked in the rearview mirror.

"Jack?"

"Su, have you noticed that there is something wrong with the white pickup truck behind you?"

Hearing this, Su Xiao also looked behind through the rearview mirror.

They saw a white pickup truck more than ten meters away from them, following them at a leisurely pace.

On the roofless cargo compartment behind the white pickup truck, a 7.62mm general-purpose machine gun was installed very arrogantly.

Not only that, the car was also filled with people armed with weapons.

If Su Xiao hadn't known that he was

Mexico, if you don’t know, you think this is Afghanistan.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Jose nervously leaned against the window of the back seat and looked back. After seeing the white pickup truck behind him, his face suddenly turned pale: "Are we being assassinated?" Has La Manca Group discovered it?”

His girlfriend Maria, who was huddled together with him, was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

Lidya Su's face also became a little uncomfortable.

His eyes glanced at the fork road not far ahead. When he was about to approach the fork road, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and steered the SUV towards the fork road.

More than ten seconds later, the white pickup truck following behind also turned into this fork in the road.

Jose and Maria's expressions became even more ugly.

And Su Xiao was also sure that the white pickup truck behind was coming towards them.

Jack also realized this: "Damn, the people from the Salamanca Group came so fast."

"Could it be that the police officers guarding the airport gate tipped off the Salamanca Group?" V frowned and asked, "But how did those police officers know that Jose and Maria were in this car? "

All the windows on the SUV they rented were one-way.

Only people sitting in the car can see what's going on outside through the car window.

No matter what, people outside can't see what's going on inside the car.

Even though the Tijuana police officers had noticed the SUV outside the airport, they could not have seen Jose and Maria sitting in the car.

If it was a guess, then it was too accurate.

Su Xiao looked serious: "V, Lucy, prepare your weapons and keep an eye on the white pickup truck behind you."

"Keep your head down."

The two women held Jose and Maria down, took out their pistols, and placed the weapons against the window behind them.

Be ready to fire at any time.

The white pickup truck following them did not attack them, but kept following them.

Seeing that they were about to go off the road, the white pickup truck just followed closely.

Just when Jose couldn't help but fearfully asked, "Is there a mistake?"

A garbage truck suddenly rushed out from the main road in front.

The timing of the collision of the garbage truck was very good. It happened to be that their car came out of the side road and just as it emerged on the main road, it slammed into their SUV.

"Su?!"

Jack saw clearly the garbage truck, which was almost as big as a truck, and instinctively exclaimed.

At this moment, Su Xiao slammed on the brakes and turned the steering wheel all the way.

Finally, the fate of the car body being hit was avoided.

Instead, the front of the car was hit by an oncoming garbage truck. The front of the car turned a large circle in the opposite direction, and everyone in the car shook.

Before the vehicle stopped, Su Xiao's right hand was still on the steering wheel and her left hand stuck out of the window.

The super smart pistol fired several rounds of bullets, killing the driver of the white pickup truck following him and the machine gunner manipulating the general-purpose machine gun behind him.

Needless to say, the white pickup truck behind must have informed the garbage truck, so the garbage truck could seize the opportunity so accurately.

If Su Xiao hadn't controlled the SUV just now, they would have been knocked over by the garbage truck, and then swept to death by the white pickup truck behind them.

Now, Su Xiao took advantage of the opportunity to avoid the approaching garbage truck, leaving a gap in the Salamanca Group's encirclement. He seized this opportunity to kill the driver and machine gunner of the white pickup truck first.

This is called striking first to gain the upper hand.

"Jack, you drive; V, Lucy, nail the white pickup truck behind and don't let the remaining enemies control the machine gun."

Their SUV is not the armored SUV that Su Xiao got from Military Technology. This vehicle is not bulletproof.

Although Su Xiao made customized bulletproof combat uniforms for everyone, including himself, Jose and Maria did not have them.

After finishing the explanation, Su Xiao opened the car door, took Murasame, jumped out of the car, and headed straight for the garbage truck in front of her.

The garbage truck that was originally expected to hit the body of the SUV ended up only hitting the front. After missing the SUV, the driver of the garbage truck subconsciously stepped on the brakes, but the vehicle still followed the inertia and hit a house on the roadside. wall.

The driver wanted to back the car out, but the garbage truck was stuck. The wheels were allowed to rub against the gravel and rubble that had been shattered by the collapsed wall, but the vehicle could not get out.

Just when the driver was sweating profusely, Su Xiao was approaching quickly from behind with a knife.

He saw the muzzle of a gun sticking out of the cab, and the next moment, a large number of bullets came.

Su Xiao's foot speed did not slow down, she pulled out Murasame and waved the knife tightly.

The bullet hit the whirlwind formed by the blade, splashing out countless sparks, and the bullets that were fired were bounced away one after another.

Su Xiao suddenly stepped on the ground, her body shot out like a sharp arrow, her speed surged, and she was in front of the cab of the garbage truck in an instant.

With a wave of the blade in his hand, a red light flashed, and the cab and the driver inside were cut in two by Su Xiao.

The co-pilot raised his pistol and fired three more shots at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao just waved the blade lightly and blocked all the bullets.
