Start in Night City
Chapter 295
Su Xiao's car took the lead, and V's car followed. The two cars left the motel one after the other.
"Su, where are we going?"
"First stay away from the road and find a place deep in the wilderness to spend the night. When the checkpoint opens tomorrow, we will take advantage of that time to cross the border."
Lidya Su looked at the time.
It's now past one in the morning, more than six hours before the checkpoint opens.
So they had to find a place to spend the night first.
But you cannot wait directly outside the checkpoint, otherwise you may be regarded as a smuggler.
Jack suddenly said: "I just suddenly thought of a question. We don't have legal and valid documents. The checkpoint won't let us pass, right?"
Su Xiao glanced at Jack and said confidently: "Don't worry, I have a way."
…
When Su Xiao stopped the car, the car that V and Lucy were following also slowly stopped.
Lidya Su looked around.
There was nothing but their two cars.
It's a desolate place off the beaten path.
"That's about it here."
They had been driving for almost an hour and were already far away from the road.
Jack opened the car door and wanted to get out of the car, but as soon as he opened the car door, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside.
The temperature inside the car dropped sharply, and Jose almost crawled under the seat.
Jack apologized and hurriedly closed the car door: "It's too cold outside, and we don't have a tent or camping equipment. I'm afraid we can't spend the night outside."
"Then don't get out of the car, just stay in the car and make do."
Jose was sitting alone in the back seat. He could lie down on his side, but of course he had to curl up his legs.
Su Xiao and Jack couldn't lie down, but they could lower the seats.
Although this condition is not comparable to lying in bed, for now it can only be made do.
Jack suggested: "We take turns keeping watch."
Su Xiao rejected Jack's kindness.
"No, it's only a few hours before dawn. You can rest. I'll just keep watch."
Su Xiao leaned on the seat and put the smart pistol on her thigh.
He turned off the car lights and the interior lights, and after everyone else gradually fell asleep, the only sound left was the sound of the strong wind hitting the car windows.
Su Xiao observed the surroundings vigilantly, and every once in a while, he would use scanning to check the surrounding situation.
But there is no other living thing besides them.
Being in the depths of this wilderness, with the pitch-black night in front of you, it can give people the illusion that the end of the world has come, and they are the only survivors left in the world.
Lidya Su smiled and patted her cheek to stay awake.
This is actually just an illusion created by an information cocoon, just like interviewing passengers on the train, all of whom have bought tickets.
Time passed like this bit by bit.
What Su Xiao was worried about didn't happen in the end, and the whole night was spent peacefully.
At 5:30 in the morning, it was still dark, but Su Xiao still shook Jack awake.
"Jack, wake up, wake up quickly."
Jack shuddered and almost jumped.
Fortunately, Lidya Su caught him in time, otherwise his head would definitely come into close contact with the roof of the car.
"What's wrong, Su? The enemy is coming?"
"No, it's time to get up."
He went to bed around two o'clock in the morning this morning. He only slept for more than three hours. The lack of sleep time and the fact that he had just woken up made Jack a little confused.
After a while, I understood what Lidya Su said.
"Then I'll wake them up."
Su Xiao nodded and asked Jack to get out of the car to wake up V and Lucy in the car behind.
Although the checkpoint on the border does not open until eight in the morning, it takes an hour to drive to the checkpoint from their place.
And if you arrive early, you can get a seat first.
If you arrive at eight o'clock, you will definitely have to queue up again.
Jack returned to the car, he glanced at Lidya Su and said.
"Su, why don't you lie down for a while and I'll drive."
Su Xiao shook her head at first, but then she thought about it and realized that driving while fatigued seemed undesirable, so she nodded and agreed to Jack's proposal.
He first
Get off the bus, get on the bus from Jack's side, and Jack takes his seat again.
Su Xiao lay on the adjusted passenger seat, feeling the feeling of her back pressing against the seat. She immediately felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, and the fatigue from the night was relieved a lot.
…
An hour later, they were back at the border checkpoint.
Even though we had arrived at the checkpoint before seven o'clock, there were still several cars parked outside the checkpoint early, waiting for the passage of inspection.
If they really stepped on the spot, the team in front must be as spectacular as yesterday.
Jack drove the pickup slowly behind the cars.
"Well, are we here yet?"
Feeling the vehicle stop, Su Xiao sat up from the seat where she was lying.
"We're here, but you need to lie down for a while. Now..." Jack glanced at the time, "It's not yet seven o'clock, and the checkpoint won't open for another hour."
"No, I won't lie down anymore."
Declining Jack's kindness, Su Xiao opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
"Wait for me, I'll go do something and I'll be back soon."
Chapter 236: The food and clothing of millions of water workers (3K)
Su Xiao's goal was a gas station outside the checkpoint.
This gas station is close to a checkpoint on the border, and there are signs from the Western States hanging on it, which is a clear indication to everyone that this is an official operation.
Therefore, unless it is a crazy guy, it is impossible for anyone to dare to have the idea of this gas station.
The gas station opens much earlier than the checkpoint. The checkpoint only opens at eight in the morning. Now before seven o'clock, someone has already opened the rolling shutter door of the gas station and is ready for business.
Su Xiao walked straight to the gas station employee who opened the rolling shutter door, and suddenly said to him in a confused manner: "Six people, two cars, how much does it cost?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Xiao from head to toe with half confusion and half suspicion, pretending not to understand what Su Xiao was talking about.
"Go to the tanker and look. It's written on the display screen above."
"I don't want to refuel, I want to take us there safely. Note, I said take us there 'safely'."
Su Xiao deliberately emphasized the word "safety".
The other party looked at Lidya Su again.
Although Su Xiao was very unfamiliar, the pattern of the code words Su Xiao said was correct, so he no longer doubted: "Six people? Two cars? Do you have a gun?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who dares to go out without a gun these days? Have you never heard of 'My neighbor stores food and I store guns, and my neighbor is my granary'?"
"It won't be easy if you bring a gun," the gas station employee pretended to be embarrassed, "You have to pay extra."
"How much in total?"
"One hundred thousand, only euros, no new dollars or miscellaneous currencies such as Mexican pesos."
The US dollar used to be the world currency, but now the world currency is the euro.
The new U.S. dollar can only be used by the New America. Countries that broke away from the United States, such as the Republic of Texas, the Western States, the Pacific Alliance, and Night City, do not recognize the new U.S. dollar.
As for the Mexican peso, it can be used in Mexico, but it cannot be used directly in other countries.
You have to go to the bank to change it into euros.
"I'll transfer the money to you," the blue light on the tactical goggles Su Xiao wore on his face flashed a few times, "I'll transfer the money to you."
The gas station employee nodded: "I did receive it. Okay, you can go there later and just show off. No one will really ask you to see your ID."
Lidya Su also nodded slightly, then turned around and left, not intending to stay.
"Wait."
"Anything else?"
The gas station employee asked curiously: "How did you know that you can sneak into my place?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
After saying this, Su Xiao stopped staying and walked straight back.
Not just at the border checkpoints between California and Mexico, but also at the border between the Republic of Texas and Mexico.
In fact, this smuggler is not an outsider, but an insider on their border making extra money.
When the United States was still there, it was easy to cross the border from the United States to Mexico, but the inspections when returning from Mexico to the United States were very strict.
But at the end of the last century, after the collapse of the United States, the borders between the Republic of Texas and the Western States (California is one of the Western States), which was split from the old United States, took advantage of this natural geographical advantage to expand wildly. holding his wallet.
Although the United States does not have the phrase "depending on the mountains and the mountains, the water depends on the water", people understand similar principles.
This has long been a tacit secret.
This is what McCoy told Su Xiao when Su Xiao was still in the Bakker family.
McCoy has run several long-distance transports, to the Republic of Texas, the Pacific Union, New America and Mexico, but he has been to Mexico the most, so he is most familiar with this route.
Su Xiao had curiously asked McCoy before if there would be a day when this method would no longer be useful.
McCoy laughed loudly at that time. He said that this was the life and clothing of millions of canal workers, and it was absolutely forbidden to abolish the canal and transform it into the sea.
…
Jack left in the car
Seeing Lidya Su coming back, she quickly opened the door for him.
After Su Xiao returned to the car, Jack couldn't wait to ask: "What did you just do?"
"Bought a ticket for us to cross the border."
Jack was stunned for a moment.
Lidya Su did say before that he had a way to take them across the border.
But Jack didn't expect that Su Xiao's solution was to find a smuggler to sneak away.
Smuggling still exists in 2077.
Not to mention other places, take Night City as an example. Many people think Night City is not good.
Of course, Night City is indeed not good.
But many people couldn't stand it and still wanted to come to Night City.
He even went so far as to find a smuggler to sneak him over.
But those who sneaked over were miserable.
Because in this regard, Night City has long formed a slave trade industry chain.
Yes, you read that right, it is the slave trade industry chain.
If the person who wants to be smuggled has worked in a technical job in another country, he will be sold to a company and sent to the factory to make screws.
