In addition to the armored body to protect guests' personal safety and information privacy, the interior of this car is no different from that of a luxury car.

This is life.

"Su, how do you know that Riot Control Unit's heavy-duty aircraft will definitely arrive?"

"Because it was Lucy who called us."

Later, Su Xiao was unable to call for reinforcements because it was interfered by the communication jammer, so Lucy was asked to hack into Riot Control Unit Subnet in order to call Riot Control Unit for "support". The details were properly told to Rebecca.

Rebecca After listening to the whole thing, his eyes widened with a look of astonishment.

"Can it still be like this?"

Rebecca thought to herself, if it were her who was trapped inside, and the world would not respond to the calls, and the earth and the earth would not work, the only thing she could think of would be "fight them, kill one to back them up, kill two and earn one."

Was it possible to do this?

"Of course... not to mention this, you have worked hard on this mission, are you exhausted?"

"Haha, compared to physical fatigue, it's actually more..."

Gu Gu Gu Gu...

Rebecca touched his belly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Santo Domingo You are familiar with this place. Just tell me which restaurant is delicious. I will buy the order."

Rebecca's eyes lit up. "Really?"

I immediately became excited and started communicating with Delamain on the screen behind the front seat.

Su Xiao turned to look at Lucy who rested his head on his shoulder on the other side.

He helped her push the hair away from her forehead.

"Are you okay?"

Lucy shook his head gently. "It's okay."

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

Lucy shook his head again. "What happened before was too dangerous. Don't do that again next time."

Su Xiao understood that what Lucy was referring to was that Su Xiao had previously asked her to take Female Cop and evacuate with the NCPD, leaving the rear alone.

That's not because he is trying to be a hero, but if he doesn't stay behind and block the only entrance and exit, delaying time...

Eden Gang people will rush up and kill everyone.

No matter how corrupt the NCPD is, there are still good police officers among them.

Moreover, Su Xiao also does not want Lucy to be harmed.

Even though she is wearing Customized Bulletproof Combat Suit made by herself, Su Xiao will still protect her subconsciously.

The car stopped outside the restaurant designated by Rebecca.

Su Xiao Ask Lao De to wait outside and don't leave yet.

I will have to rely on it to send the three of them home later.

Entering the restaurant, I found a seat by the window and sat down.

Su Xiao lets Rebecca order whatever he wants, and of course Lucy also.

After eating and drinking, the three of them came out and returned to Delamain Taxi.

Su Xiao then contacted Old Captain.

"Su, why did it take you so long to contact me? Are you okay?"

"There was an accident. When we wanted to go out, NCPD also came with News 54. The funny thing is, they went to the wrong place. They should have gone to another place."

Su Xiao paused for a moment and continued, "Later, a big war broke out and many people died. All News 54's people died, and a lot of NCPD also died. The rest almost all suffered losses."

Old Captain came over with a slightly hoarse voice. "Fuck, that's really miserable, what about you guys?"

"We are fine. Except for some scratches, there is nothing serious."

"That's good, what about Eden Gang?"

"From now on, there will be no more Eden Gang."

Old Captain looked at Su Xiao on the screen in shock, and took a breath. "You killed them all?"

"How is that possible, unless you give me a set of Power Armor, which is about the same, and there are hundreds of them."

"So what happened?"

"We killed half of them, and then Riot Control Unit came."

Old Captain Got it.

Riot Control Unit is an elite special operations unit of the NCPD.

They have only one goal: to eliminate Cyberpsychosis.

Members of Riot Control Unit can choose their own weapons, enjoy the best prosthetics, the latest prototype equipment, and enjoy complete autonomy in the execution of operations.

The rest of the NCPD gives Riot Control Unit a wide berth, making them a bit like China.

As long as Riot Control Unit arrives at the scene, there will be casualties, so an internal investigation is inevitable.

Of course.

Although Riot Control Unit's goal is to eliminate Cyberpsychosis, they will not ignore it if they see a crime taking place.

And as long as they go out, they will never leave anyone alive.

It is a good thing that there is one less gang in the city, especially a lunatic gang like Eden Gang. Although Old Captain himself works in a gray industry, there are a lot of unruly and selfish garbage in this industry, and he does not like them.

"It sounds like your trip is not easy. Let's do this. I will give you double the reward personally. Thank you for your hard work."

Su Xiao glanced at the money transferred from the account in surprise.

It is indeed twice as much as promised before.

"That doesn't mean you have nothing to earn?"

Old Captain actually smiled and looked very grand.

"It's just less

It's just a small profit, so what does it matter? You are very good, Regina is indeed the right person, thank you, Su."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, about the other thing I said before."

"I know you are very tired, so I don't mean that you have to go today. You can go back and rest, and you can come back in two days."

Su Xiao is very curious about this other thing Old Captain asked for.

"What is it? If it's not too much trouble, I'll take care of it for you today. I'll finish it today. I don't really like to put things off until later."

"No procrastination? Then City Hall should give you a Night City Ten Outstanding Youth Award," Old Captain joked, "Actually, this is my personal private matter, not an entrustment from the client."

"I have a subordinate named Juliette. She has a lot of precious information. She was going to send it to me, but I have been unable to contact her."

Su Xiao asked, "How long has she disappeared?"

Old Captain poured himself a cup of steaming coffee and took a sip.

"Two weeks... Listen, I am a patient and reasonable person. I know that a person's work and family are both important. If you don't know how to balance work and rest, your body will definitely collapse. I understand that, really."

"But, Juliette disappeared for two weeks because of 'something happened at home'. What does Juliette think of me? Does she have any respect for me?"

"I like her because she got me a lot of excellent data from "Zeta Tech", but... well, it's a bit hurtful for her to be like this now, can you understand?"

Su Xiao nodded.

"I understand."

It's not that he agrees, it's that he really understands.

Anyone who has ever worked knows that many companies have regulations that say "if you don't come to work for three days, you will be automatically dismissed and your salary for that month will be deducted."

Old Captain could tolerate Juliette disappearing for two weeks.

In this regard, he has indeed surpassed many company leaders who are not human beings.

"Anyway, what I need to trouble you is to go to her home to see what's going on, but remember that the information she owes me comes first,"

"Juliette does have two brushes, but if she wants to make a fuss, then... I also said, the information comes first,"

Old Captain said it very tactfully.

But the meaning is actually very simple.

Old Captain assigned the work to Juliette.

Let Juliette help with Zeta Tech's information.

Juliette disappeared for two weeks after obtaining the information, citing "something at home" as an excuse.

Two weeks is too long.

It was so long that Old Captain had to wonder whether Juliette was contacting other people in private and receiving kickbacks from both parties.

Old Captain is a person who likes to follow rules.

The rules he established are not only beneficial to him, but also beneficial to the employers who seek his help and the mercenaries who work for him.

That is a true win-win situation (hello, hello, hello, hello, everyone).

But if someone doesn't follow the rules, Old Captain will also teach him why Night City's flowers are so red.

Juliette and her husband live in a small two-story house in a suburban area of Coronado Farms.

The roads here are quite spacious, but the vegetation and greening are far inferior to North Oak.

Therefore, when the wind is strong, sand will fly all over the sky.

The people and houses here also look dusty.

Although the roads are spacious, the living environment is one family and one small bungalow.

But many people would rather go to places like the Glen, Chinatown, and Japantown and live in small and cramped apartments.

I don't want to settle here either.

There is no other reason, it is simply because this place is too desolate compared to the above-mentioned urban areas, and there are basically no job opportunities.

Moreover, the small number of people and the wide space also mean that the public security situation is not good.

"This is it."

After getting off Delamain Taxi, Su Xiao walked to Juliette's house.

"Let me see first."

Now he has developed the habit of scanning every place he goes to.

"There is no Laser Tripwire, and there is no Sentry Turret... There is no one in the house, but there is an anti-detection jammer in the basement. I don't know what is going on inside."

He said to Lucy and Rebecca who were following him, "Let's go in and take a look, but be careful."

The three of them came to the front door of the house.

Su Xiao pushed the door.

The door didn't move at all.

"The door is locked, it's an electronic lock."

"Leave it to me."

Lucy placed his fingers on his temples, and his eyes flashed with red light.

Soon, the door opened with a sound, "Okay."

The first thing Su Xiao saw when the door opened was the smart home panel that was still on on the sofa in the living room.

The light falling from the second floor shines on the winding staircase leaning against the wall.

Placed on a stand, there was a TV of about 40 to 50 inches with a black screen.
