Then he took Sandra out of the bathtub.

A group of people came to the balcony.

Trauma Team also arrived very punctually in three minutes.

AV parked on the edge of the balcony. Several armed men got off AV, nervously raising their guns and aiming at everyone.

But soon, they put down their weapons.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Su. Maybe Mr. Su doesn't remember us anymore, but I will always remember your life-saving grace."

In the confused eyes of Su Xiao, the team leader and a medic in the team took off their helmets.

A few months ago, they were ordered to go somewhere in Westbrook, pick up Platinum Member, and plan to take him back to the headquarters for treatment.

On the way, he was attacked by a cyber mercenary called "The Ripper" by the people on the road.

Except for the team leader and the female medic named Nadia, everyone else died.

If Su Xiao hadn't come to help in time, neither of them might have survived.

Because at that time, after Su Xiao killed the Ripper, he took off his clothes and left, hiding his merit and fame.

The team leader did not know Su Xiao's name and phone number, so he could not contact Su Xiao.

I thought we might never see each other again.

I didn't expect that we would meet in today's mission.

Su Xiao is also very happy to meet the people he saved before.

But he didn't forget that there was a dying patient on their side, and he wasn't here to chat.

After a few simple greetings, the female medical soldier injected Sandra with another shot of cardiotonic, then took the patient back to Trauma Team's AV, and AV left quickly.

Chapter 120 The realm of vitality and competition between all things is still before our eyes (4K)

See AV of Trauma Team, disappearing between the buildings.

Jack let out a long sigh of relief.

"Why are you so nervous?" Su Xiao gave him a strange look.

"Because I heard that Trauma Team only cares about their customers. They will not have a good look at other armed personnel who approach, and conflicts may even break out."

He seemed to realize that there was an ambiguity in what he said.

Jack quickly added another sentence.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of them, but it's just not necessary if we start a fight with them."

Su Xiao patted Jack on the shoulder. "I understand what you mean."

The target was successfully rescued and was not harmed.

The only one who was hurt was Scavengers.

That's really gratifying, Coca-Cola.

So the group of people started walking back.

As for the corpses of Scavengers, they stay here.

Naturally, there will be people from the medical center who specialize in collecting corpses and come to deal with them.

On the way back, Jack was eager to share his joy with others.

"Now I have enough money to buy a new car. I have chosen a pretty good one."

Seeing him so happy, Su Xiao was also happy for him. "Okay, Jack, but how do I remember that you said you wanted to buy a cool motorcycle before?"

"Motorcycles are popular, but that's not always the case when taking a girl on a date. What if it's windy or rainy? What's more, if I want to ride a motorcycle, I can borrow it from you, right?"

Su Xiao's "Fenrir" motorcycle was picked out by V and Lucy for Su Xiao.

This is a Japanese special edition motorcycle and is not sold in other countries and regions.

When the streets of Night City are filled with "Kusanagi CT-3X", "ARCH Nazare", and "Brennan Apollo"...

Riding on "Fenrir" and driving on the street, you will be the most handsome boy of Night City.

"It's a beautiful thought, Jack."

"Su, considering our friendship, you won't refuse to borrow it, right?"

"Look at what you said, you and I must borrow it," Su Xiao returned to the elevator in front of the corridor and pressed the button, "By the way, I have to call Wakako."

The call was quickly connected, and Wakako's face appeared on a pop-up window that popped up from Tactical Goggles: "Su, how are you? Is the customer still alive and well?"

"She has been handed over to Trauma Team. She is Platinum Member of Trauma Team. It only took them three minutes to rush over."

"You... didn't have any conflict?"

Okada Wakako's expression is a little strange.

"No, we are fine."

"That's good, that's good." Wakako's face softened, "By the way, Su, you don't need to go to Watson District in the near future, right?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Nothing, it's just that the NCPD has surrounded Watson District, and martial law is in place over there. If you or someone else

, if you don't want to be stopped by the cordon, you'd better be quick."

The elevator carried several people back to the underground parking lot.

Jack saw that Su Xiao's expression was a little serious, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"NCPD is blocking Watson District, I don't know what happened over there."

"It can't be that some big shot is coming to visit Night City, right?"

Jack laughed dryly a few times, and then realized a problem. "Wait, we only have one car, what should we do?"

Ever since the SUV that Su Xiao brought from the Buckle Family was destroyed in Eden Gang's stronghold, he has not bought a new car.

If there is a mission that requires several of them to act together, Su Xiao will simply call him Delamain Taxi.

Although taking a taxi to do a job sounds weird.

But it's actually not bad.

The main thing is that Delamain Taxi's windows and body are all bulletproof.

And we're always on call, so you don't have to worry about vehicle damage.

V and Jack were not used to it at first.

Later, slowly, I gradually adapted to it.

All four of them live in different neighborhoods.

Su Xiao and Jack live in Heywood.

Lucy is the closest, she lives in Japantown.

And V is Chinatown who lives in Watson District which is being blocked.

When they arrived, it was Su Xiao and Delamain who went to pick up the others.

But now Watson District is being blocked.

If V is sent back first, they may not be able to come out again.

And if you send them back first, you may not be able to send V back to Watson District.

"Well, Jack, you and Lucy wait here, I'll get another one for you, and V and I will take this car back to Watson District first."

"Then what if you go in and Watson District is blocked? How will you come out then?"

"It's okay. If not, I'll find a hotel to stay first. NCPD rarely blocks off a city area. The last time it was blocked, Pacifica was zoned out."

Immediately afterwards, Su Xiao expressed his worries. "There must be something wrong with Watson District, which is why the NCPD is going to such trouble. I don't trust V to go back to Watson District alone."

Lucy said without hesitation, "I'll go with you too."

Jack scratched his head.

"Then why not take another taxi? Let's get it together."

"Yes," Su Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Then I will open two rooms for you."

"No need to spend any money, I can live with Misty, she will definitely not mind."

It was drizzling slightly in the night sky.

Neon signs everywhere and holographic advertising projections soaring into the sky dyed the falling rain colorfully.

Pedestrians on the sidewalk might hold an umbrella and stroll in the rain.

Or stepping on the rain and galloping through the rain curtain.

Delamain Taxi faithfully carried Su Xiao and others towards Watson District.

"Fuck! What the hell kind of weather is this? The weather forecast is not accurate at all."

"If it's accurate, can we still call the weather forecast?"

"That's right. I'm already starving. Let's go get some solid food. What do you think?"

"Jack, they want to block Watson District, haven't you forgotten?"

Jack, who was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, had long forgotten all about it.

Now that I got a reminder from Su Xiao, I suddenly remembered this happened.

"Damn, you're right."

The rest of the journey was silent, with only the music from the car radio playing continuously.

Although I got a reminder from Okada Wakako.

And Su Xiao also kept urging Delamain to speed up.

But they hurried slowly, and were finally stopped by the NCPD on the bridge leading to Watson District.

NCPD's efficiency has never been so fast.

If we were to get information from the intermediary in normal times, it would be quick if the NCPD could leave tomorrow.

This time, for some unknown reason, the NCPD was more efficient than ever.

Not only were there several patrol cars parked on the bridge, but also the Walking Mech they purchased from Militech were brought out.

Su Xiao's face became more solemn.

It seems this is no ordinary blockade.

Don't know what happened.

Or talk about what is about to happen.

At the same time, he was secretly glad that returning to Watson District with V was indeed the right choice.

Delamain Taxi slowly stopped in front of the warning line.

A Female Cop came to the taxi.

"Watson District has been blocked, waiting for the next step... Mr. Su? Miss Lucy?"

Female Cop saw clearly the people in the car, all with shocked faces.

Su Xiao and Lucy also looked surprised.

What happened today?

Why did I meet an acquaintance twice in a row?

"Hello, Miss Li Nali, long time no see."

The name of this Female Cop is Li Nali.

He was one of the police officers who rescued Su Xiao, Lucy, and Rebecca when they infiltrated the Eden Gang stronghold.

After being rescued, Li Nali even made a special trip to Wolf Bar to express his gratitude to Su Xiao.
