Chapter 62: City Entry
“Damn, this armored vehicle drives differently!”
“It’s wild and crazy enough. Listen to the roar of the engine and the grip of the tires. It’s as stable as a buddy’s butt in this bad land, unlike that car that floats!”
In the bad land outside Night City, the red car and the hard armored vehicle were driving side by side. Time passed little by little. After driving for a while, the sun in the sky began to set gradually. The setting sun radiated light, shining on Jack Wells and Ali’s bodies, and also covering Night City and the surrounding land.
Ali drove out of the car and looked at the scenery on the roadside through the window. The beautiful and warm red and orange color of the sunset formed a sharp contrast with the desolate wilderness of the bad land.
“Damn it, the more I drive Old Jack, the more unhappy I feel. It’s really a blind eye for those”Night Walkers” to have such a good thing.”
“Jack, if we don’t know how to use words, we can use less. Your poor vocabulary can’t come up with anything good. What is”blind”? That’s called”waste of nature’s resources”.”！”
“Ah, it’s almost the same idea anyway.”
Ali’s phone was playing voice communication, and he was driving while chatting with Jack in another car. They were still some distance away from the Night City Defense Station, but it looked like they were almost there.
Soon Ali and Jack arrived at their destination. They saw the Night City Border Station and drove in to undergo security scans and inspections before entering the city.
“For customs declaration, please drive your vehicle to the inspection area. During the inspection, please cooperate and stay in the vehicle. The security check will be over soon.”
The Night City border defense issued a mechanical notification sound, and then several heavy firepower turrets were raised. Several military combat drones were also flying and hovering in the air. Countless firepower guards and guarded against the vehicles in the inspection area. As long as you dare not cooperate, they dare to beat you into pieces in an instant.
If going out of the city is just a symbolic check, after all, your departure has nothing to do with them, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t get into the city, so the means are relatively loose, but the attitude of entering the city is completely different. What if the one coming in is a self-destructing car or a notorious wanted criminal, or a virus carrier, then their city defense will be a big deal.
Therefore, the city defense programs speculated on the vehicles entering the city with the greatest malice, and the detection can be said to be strictly guarded and ruthless.
The red light scanned the vehicle where Ali and Jack Wells were, and from time to time, several city defense soldiers equipped with heavy armor and implanted with many combat implants appeared around them. They were also using scrutiny and light to measure.
“Wow, so serious and nervous.……””Phantom” Brother, why do I feel like we’re going to take a break?”
Jack Wells’ voice rang out on Ali’s phone. Looking at the serious soldiers around him, Ali suddenly realized that something was wrong:”Jack, how did the middleman arrange entry into the station? Did he give us a clearance tool, like an exit document when we leave the city?”
“Yes, yes, yes, I have a customs declaration here. They said I can show it to them. Do you want me to take it to you?”
“Let’s talk about it later. The city defense procedures are still under inspection. We can’t get off the car yet.”
“The test was completed and no abnormalities were found”
“Now please show the soldiers your entry report.”
Soon the scanning process was over, the security turret retracted into the wall, and at the same time a city defense soldier came over and asked Jack Wells and Ali to get out of the car.
“Check the owner of the vehicle in the area, now need to proceed to the next step of questioning”
“OK, please wait for us for a moment.”
“Jack, give me the customs declaration form.”
Ali also got out of the car at this time. He came to the window of Jack’s armored car and took the customs declaration form handed over. There were several big English words written on it.:”L.O.A”！
“Oh my god, it’s exactly what I guessed, it’s really L.O.A！”
Ah Li frowned as he looked at the customs declaration form.
“L.O.A? I don’t understand what this means. What’s wrong, brother Shadow? Does this mean we’re in trouble?
Jack Wells shook his head to show that he didn’t understand.
“Lost on arrival means that the goods will be”lost” as soon as they cross the border. This bill is a naked warning to others that we are smuggling.”
“Oh no, what now?”
“What to do? If it’s somewhere else, it’ll be fine! But in Night City, where money is everything, we can use money to make up for this”little mistake” that doesn’t violate the principle.”
“In other words, if we want the checkpoint to turn a blind eye to our suspicious files, we both have to pay some tribute.”
“But I don’t think the middleman is stupid enough to let us”cyberpunks” who trade our lives for money pay for this. Jack, hurry up and get the account chip given by the middleman!”
Ali stretched out his hand unhappily.
“Oh… yes… if you hadn’t told me, I would have almost forgotten about it.”
Jack Wells seemed a little flustered.
“Yes, you forgot it.”
Ali took the account chip from Jack. Although Jack has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks tough and honest, that’s just appearance.
People who are really familiar with Jack Wells know that Jack weighs 100 kilograms, but he has 300 kilograms of mind. The son of Heywood is notoriously slippery!
“Brother Phantom, let’s not turn off the engine of this car for now, so that we can run away if something happens.”
“”Okay, let’s do it.”
Look, Jack is so smart. He has already figured out how to run away before he even does anything. Ali couldn’t say anything about this.
With the account chip and customs declaration form given by the middleman, Ali followed the instructions of the city defense soldiers and came to the border inspection building.
After putting the two pistols at the front desk, Ali entered the dark room used by border guards for interrogation.
After entering the interrogation room, Ali noticed that there were still traces of wet blood on the cushion of the chair.
It seemed that the poor guy who was interrogated last time was not lucky enough.
He was beaten up before he could reach an agreement.
“Come, please take a seat!”
There was only a desk and two office chairs facing each other in the room, and a border guard in charge of the inspection pointed to the blood-stained chair opposite and asked Ali to sit down with a smile.
Didn’t he see the blood stains opposite? Of course he knew, this was just to give Ali a warning, to let Ali know whose territory this was, and to remind the newcomers of the consequences of not being obedient.
“What? Are the mosquitoes at your border so attractive that there is so much blood on the seat?”
A Li said directly.
“Don’t be nervous, the last guy being questioned just had hemorrhoids and bled all over the chair, we’ll clean it up later”
“I see. If you hadn’t explained, I would have thought you had your period.”
“Hmm? You seem to be a bit difficult to talk to, right?”
Ali sat down on the chair and denied it quickly:”No, you are a police officer and I am a civilian. We will cooperate well when we come here.”
“Really? Then you’d better be a”civilian” and don’t let me find out that you are a”bandit”.””
“”Give me the customs declaration!”
Ali handed the customs declaration over. The border guard on the opposite side glanced at it briefly, then looked at Ali with a meaningful look.
He put the customs declaration upside down on the desk to prevent the surveillance camera from scanning it, then he took out a cigarette and lit it up, his attitude becoming more casual.
“Is it just the customs declaration? What are you shipping?”
“Isn’t it written on it?”
“Are you sure?”
The border guard’s face turned malicious.
Ali nodded, took out the account chip prepared by the middleman, pressed it under his palm, and gently pushed it along the table to the border guard opposite.
“Of course, there is an additional item on the declaration form.”
Seeing this, the border guard quickly covered the account chip with the customs declaration form to prevent him from being scanned by the surveillance camera. At the same time, he also used his artificial eye to scan the amount in the account chip.
This is really a good number. The border guard smiled and no longer looked so ferocious:”The information is correct, there is nothing unusual on the customs declaration form, it seems that you are indeed a”good citizen”””
“You are also a police officer with a keen eye for talent.”
“Then I can say goodbye now. After all, my butt is stained with my period. I need to go back and wash it.”
“Pants can be washed at any time, there is no need to rush this problem.”
Seeing that Ali was so sensible, the border guard also became interested. He began to keep Ali and chat with him:”I see there is a Rangers armored vehicle outside, why don’t you stay and explain it?”
“Tell me, which wanderer family are you following?���？”
“Officer, you asked too many questions. Aren’t they beyond your authority? I should have the right not to answer, right?”
“Oh? Do you really think so?”
“You know what? Every time I see someone like you, I’m glad that’s not me on the other side of the table.”
“Same here.”
The border guard looked at Ali coldly and said,”Well, you can go now. Your assistant is still waiting for you in the car. Don’t forget to take your personal belongings.””
“”Okay.”
Ali stood up and just as he was about to go out, he turned around and looked at the border guard, saying in a grim tone,”I hope our way back will be smooth and without any obstacles.”
“After talking so much, I also hope that you can make the right choice. Before leaving, I would like to give you a quote from a wise man.”
“Man is between heaven and earth”
“A heaven, a hell!”
“”Take care of yourself!”
Ali left, leaving a word, hoping that the guard could understand his good intentions. Of course, Ali did not forget to take back his”Maloryan Overture” and”Unification” pistols from the front desk.
Back in the car, Ali came back to Jack Wells. Seeing that Ali was fine, Jack was relieved:”What’s the situation in there?”
“I’ll tell you later. We have to leave quickly.”
“We’ll keep in touch later.”
The two of them got back into their respective cars. Ali and Jack drove out of the border station. After spending so much time, the sun had already set and the sky gradually darkened.
“”Shadow”, tell me what’s going on inside”
“It’s nothing, just a jerk from customs who asked a lot of questions. I hope he can be more sensible, otherwise we will be in trouble and so will he!”
“Are you saying that we might be in danger later?”
“”Open it, Jack, just open it, we will fight back if an enemy comes, and we will kill anyone who stands in our way!”
Ali did not answer Jack’s question, and his eyes flashed with coldness!
“Shit,”Shadow”! It seems that what you said is true. There are really people coming towards us, a whole convoy. I don’t think they are good people!”
“”Shit, it’s the company’s car! Damn military technology!”
Jack Wells became nervous before the car drove far from the border station.
“Please stop your vehicle immediately! The items you are transporting are company assets and are suspected of smuggling!”
“We repeat again, please stop the vehicle immediately! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk, and we will carry out a devastating attack!”
“Damn it! Drive! Jack, keep the accelerator on, you go ahead and I’ll cover your back!”
Ali cursed, and then he drove the”Sian Westin” and flashed onto the roof of the car. The car under his feet was unmanned and was about to go out of control. Ali had to hurry up and destroy the convoy from the military technology behind him!
【The military-grade eye system is activated, and the Qilusi Optical Prosthetic Eye Type 2 is activated!】
【Epic hacking technology activated! 】
Ali’s pupils flashed red light at a high frequency, and he scanned the���Tsk, countless data streams appeared in Ali’s eyes, [Target Location] [Contagion] [Shen Magnetic Short Circuit]】，【Prosthetic body overheating]!
He didn’t have time to laugh and joke with the people in the company. Ali directly used all his [Hacker Flow] skills and hacked into the convoys behind him with countless huge electronic viruses with infinite lethality using [Level 15 Epic Hacker Technique], killing these soldiers from military technology!
“Ah, there’s a hacker, I’ve been infected with an electronic virus!”
“I am an American soldier from Military Technology, I am black, and at this moment I seem to see my biological father who disappeared since I was born”
“So hot, so hot, so comfortable~”
“Shit, my body is 37 and my brain is 105. Have I awakened the love brain that goddesses love so much?”
“Love you 105, drops of pure distilled water~”
Soon the convoy behind Ali began to riot, and then they all started to lose control. The soldiers’ foreheads were flashing with lightning, and bursts of white smoke from mechanical overload emerged!
A hacker hacked in and destroyed the entire team of soldiers and vehicles. This was the powerful destructive power from the [Epic Hacker]. Ali used [Sian Westin] to flash back into the car, and when [Advanced Driving Skills] was turned on, he immediately stabilized the vehicle that was about to lose control.
One person destroyed a team, and the whole process took no more than ten seconds. Fortunately, Jack Wells drove in front and rushed forward with his eyes closed, otherwise he would be shocked for several hours before he could recover after being seen.
“Jack, I used them up.”
“I hacked their navigation system. They are on the wrong road now. We are safe for now.”
Ali was not lying. He did hack their”life navigation system”. They did run on the wrong road and entered”Cyber Heaven”, the road to meet Cyber God.”
“Awesome………”Shadow”, there is a garage over here that looks abandoned for a long time. Let’s drive in and take a look. Let’s avoid the limelight and sort things out first.”
“”Okay, I’ll be right behind you.”
Soon the two drove into the garage. Fortunately, the garage was big enough to accommodate two cars. After the car was parked, Jack Wells quickly pulled down the garage door to block the view outside.
Then Jack, the big guy, dared to hide in the garage, gasping for breath with his hands covering his restless and pounding heart. He was glad that he and Ali could escape again.
Although Jack Wells looks very miserable now, this is the year 2075 after all. Jack, who is still a street gangster, is also taking a job for the company for the first time.
Today is his first time out of Night City, his first time meeting wanderers, and his first time being chased by the company’s army. After experiencing so many things, he didn’t panic at the first time, nor did he stand there with a blank mind. This is already very encouraging.
“Damn, these bastards almost scared old Jack to death.”
“It’s really hard to work in a company. I thought 12,000 euros was a huge sum of money, but now look at what we have encountered.
First it was”Night Walker”, then”Adecado”, and finally the son of a bitch, who almost chased me to cardiac arrest,”Military Technology”””
“Which force is easy to mess with? What happened to the promise of”just leaving the city and taking some goods back from the person who is in charge”?”
“”Damn it, I almost fell for that damn middleman. These businessmen are all the same. They never tell the truth!”
Jack Wells paced back and forth in the garage, still cursing. It seemed that he was really shocked by this incident, and it was a big shock, but it also helped him grow.
Ali was silent on the side. After all, he had experienced a lot of such things in the game and had become accustomed to it.
After Jack Wells’ emotions were almost vented, he slowly said:”We were very smooth at first, and there was no trouble at all.”
