Start in Night City

His left hand comes from

He pulled out the technical revolver from his holster and fired without charging it.

There was just a bang, and the hole-ridden window glass shattered directly. Half of the co-pilot's head was blown off, and he was too dead to die.

"Su, come back quickly!"

He turned around and saw that Jack had already turned the front of the car in the right direction. V and Lucy, who were sitting in the back seat, kept suppressing fire on the white pickup truck behind them.

Make sure that no one sitting in the roofless cargo bed behind the white pickup truck dares to operate the general-purpose machine gun.

Su Xiao took out two grenades, threw them in the direction of the white pickup truck, and then quickly returned to the car without even looking.

Just hearing a bang, the white pickup truck turned into a ball of blazing flames in the explosion, with flames reaching into the sky and smoke filling the air.

After Su Xiao got in the car, Jack stepped on the accelerator and took them away from here.

…

Driving along the main road heading out of the city, we gradually left the scene of the gunfight farther and farther behind us.

Su Xiao scanned the surroundings and found no enemies with guns nearby. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "We are safe."

He looked at the others: "Are you all okay?"

Jack concentrated on driving and didn't look back: "It's okay."

"José, where are you and your girlfriend?"

"I...I think I'm okay, sir."

"That's good."

"gentlemen?"

"What's up?"

Jose seemed to be about to cry: "Are we safe? Have we gotten rid of them? Will the Salamanca Group still catch up?"

Su Xiao couldn't answer this question, so he could only encourage him.

"Don't think about this now. If you're a man, don't cry and act like a man."

Jose nodded and said, "I...I understand."

This protection target is quite obedient and sensible. What Su Xiao is most afraid of is the kind of yelling in some movies, or even deliberately rushing to dangerous places, causing many unnecessary casualties in order to save him/her. .

Fortunately, neither Jose nor his girlfriend are such scammers.

When a gunfight breaks out, you know how to crouch down with your head in your hands, not to run around, and not to yell to distract you.

While driving, Jack turned his head and glanced behind him, and he said on the communication channel.

"Su, what do you think is going on? Did the people from the Salamanca Group come too fast?"

"Concentrate on driving, Jack," Su Xiao paused for a while and said, "It's too fast."

From the moment they rescued the hostages, headed to the airport, to when they realized something was wrong, they immediately chose to leave the city...

They didn't waste any time in these processes.

But the Salamanca Group's response and execution were frighteningly fast.

Whether it was calling in Tijuana police to seal off the airport or sending out thugs to attack them, the efficiency was staggering.

But this also raises a question.

what is going on?

As if he suddenly remembered something, he opened the car window, and then leaned half of his body out of the car window, looking up to the sky.

The sky is clear today, and the weather is as good as when Togo Heihachiro commanded the combined fleet against the Baltic Fleet commanded by Roger Stevensky.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he activated the scanning mode of the tactical eyepiece.

But found nothing.

Chapter 234: Not active after get off work, there is something wrong with my brain (4K)

"Isn't it a drone with optical camouflage?"

He leaned against the car window and observed again for a while, then muttered to himself and returned to the long queue in the car.

Jack turned and glanced at him: "What's wrong? Did you find anything, Sue?"

Su Xiao shook his head: "I thought that the Salamanca Group could come so quickly because they deployed drones, but I just observed that there is no trace of drones in the sky."

"Forget it, don't think about this for now. Let's leave the city first. As long as we get to the border, everything will be fine."

…

A long wall has been built on the California border with Mexico.

The wall stretches from the Pacific coast in the west to the Republic of Texas in the east.

The wall is not so high that people cannot climb, but on the top of the wall, there is an electrified barbed wire fence, and behind the wall, there is a turret equipped with an automatic turret every few hundred meters.

Since the collapse of the United States and California joining the Western states, there have been countless illegal immigrants trying to cross the border and enter California.

But none of them succeeded.

They were either roasted alive by the electrified barbed wire, or beaten into sieves by the automatic turrets on the turrets.

The only access across the border is at checkpoints manned by troops from the western states.

…

When they arrived outside the checkpoint on the border, there was already a long queue outside the checkpoint.

Jack parked slowly behind the car in front.

He stuck his head out of the car window and looked out, but he only saw at least dozens of cars in front of him before it was their turn.

He returned to the car, grinned and said: "Okay, let's wait slowly now, we can't force our way through."

…

In this way, time passed bit by bit.

although

Although I haven't returned to Night City yet, the atmosphere in the car is obviously much more relaxed.

Jose no longer looked like he was mourning.

When the number of vehicles waiting to pass inspection increased from dozens to more than 20, the gate at the entrance to the checkpoint suddenly closed and the roadblock in front of them slowly rose.

"what happened?"

"Look there."

Looking in the direction Lucy was pointing, she saw scrolling subtitles on the holographic display above the checkpoint.

"Summer working hours - 8:00 to 15:00, winter working hours - 9:00 to 15:00."

Su Xiao quickly took a look at the time and found that the current time was 14:36.

Jack, who was sitting next to Su Xiao, said, "Damn, isn't the closing time three o'clock in the afternoon? It's only after two o'clock, are these bitches touching me like this?"

However, no matter how he cursed, it was an indisputable fact that the checkpoint stopped passing. Su Xiao saw the vehicles queuing in front and were slowly turning around and leaving the checkpoint.

"Lucy, help us find a motel nearby."

It was not Lucy who spoke, but V: "There is a restaurant on the road we came from. It only takes about ten minutes to get there."

"Okay, let's go there."

Jack hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Would you like to go to other checkpoints?"

The border between California and Mexico is very long, and of course there is more than one checkpoint.

But Lidya Su thought about it and shook his head to deny the proposal.

"Since this checkpoint has been closed, the other checkpoints are probably about the same. We'd better find a motel to stay in and wait until tomorrow before we set off and cross the border."

Su Xiao dared to be so sure because all the checkpoints on the border were set up by the United States.

After the collapse of the United States, these checkpoints were taken over by the new America and the countries that broke away from the old United States (Texas, California).

Su Xiao believes that the Salamanca Group has the ability to corrupt Tijuana's official power, but he does not believe that the Salamanca Group still has the ability to command people in California.

…

After driving for more than ten minutes, we finally saw the motel that V mentioned.

At this time, several cars were parked outside the motel.

They must have planned to go to the checkpoint to cross the border, but found that the checkpoint was closed and had no choice but to find a place to spend the night.

After finding a seat, Jack parked the car, and then Su Xiao booked three adjacent rooms at the front desk.

He shared a room with Jack, V and Lucy, and finally José and Maria.

They stayed in the outer room, leaving José and María in the inner room so they could be looked after.

This motel looks very shabby, at least thirty years old, but the accommodation fee is not cheap, almost twice that of a regular hotel in Tijuana.

But it's such a desolate place with no village or shop. If I don't want to sleep in the car, I have no choice but to live here.

Fortunately, Jose's father, Dante Gonzalez, promised to cover all the expenses for the round trip. If it's more expensive, then it's more expensive.

In addition, this motel has water and electricity, unlike some hotels that only have power and water for a few hours a day, and the rooms provided are clean and tidy with no peculiar smell, which is not too bad.

…

Time soon came to night.

Because they had nothing to do, after dinner, both Su Xiao and Jack lay in bed early to rest.

In the middle of the night, Lidya Su couldn't sleep and got up from the bed.

He walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked outside.

It was dark outside the motel, with no other light except for the lights and holographic projections of the checkpoint in the distance.

As for the road outside the motel, it was as quiet as death.

He stood by the window and stared out the window for a while, then closed the curtains again and prepared to go to bed.

But just when he returned to bed, he suddenly heard a very quiet sound coming from the corridor outside.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, but there was no sound again.

If it were anyone else, they might think that they heard it wrong and wouldn't care anymore.

But Su Xiao reached out, fumbled for the tactical goggles that were placed on the bedside table while sleeping, and put them on her face.

In the dark room, a red light lit up on the tactical eyepiece.

Several figures standing in the corridor, holding weapons, suddenly appeared in Su Xiao's field of vision.

Su Xiao picked up Murasame who was placed beside the bed, pulled out his samurai sword, walked lightly to the door of the room, then opened the door suddenly, drew his sword and slashed.

The killers standing in the corridor did not expect that the door would be opened from the inside. They had no time to react and were struck by the knife from the right shoulder and then from the left waist.

A large amount of warm blood immediately sprayed throughout the corridor.

The remaining killers had already reacted and hurriedly shouted "Fire! Kill him!"

But Su Xiao was already like a cheetah, rushing into the crowd.

Suddenly, everyone felt that time slowed down.

They could clearly see the bullets being fired slowly making ripples one after another in the air.

You can also see a series of afterimages caused by Su Xiao

.

Time resumed its flow, and a blood arrow shot out from everyone's neck at the same time.

The killers clutched their necks and fell down, spurting blood.

What was seen in the eyes that were slowly losing their vitality was the elegant back of Su Xiaoxue Zhenna's knife.

The door opens.

V and Lucy both rushed out.
