20demayo Chapter 48
Chapter 48
Inside the car, Jack Wells looked at Ali in shock, mainly because Ali’s move was too visually impactful. He just popped out and fired five shots, and then five lives went to see the Cyber God?
“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
“I don’t know if there are any spots on your face, but I think I’m dazzled.”
Jack Wells looked at Ali in shock. He really didn’t know why this young man who was a few years younger than him had such advanced marksmanship and reaction speed!
A revolver has a huge recoil, and he fired five shots in a row, and all five hit the target. Do you know what this means? This guy can be called a gun god! Anyway,
Jack Wells has never seen anyone who can play with guns so well since he was a child. Of course, it may also be that Jack’s family background is not good and his vision is narrow, but Ali’s almost invincible posture at this moment has been engraved in Jack’s mind.
“Watch the road and drive carefully. Don’t forget what Kako told you about Watson District being under martial law soon.���Li is pretending. What can killing five scavengers prove? Is it worth it for Li to show off for killing five scavengers? Dear readers, who in Night City doesn’t have a hundred or eighty lives on his hands!
“Ali, tell me the truth, how long have you been practicing your marksmanship?”
“How long? Let me think, at most it’s about 300 to 400 hours, no more than a month.”
Of course Ali didn’t lie, he was talking about the length of time he spent in the game, after all, if he said he had never practiced shooting, but just glanced at Jack Wells, and then signed in to have such shooting skills, I guess Jack Wells wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.
“I have been practicing shooting for more than ten years and I am considered a well-known marksman in Heywood, but I am still a lot younger than you. Alas
, Jack, I didn’t believe in talent before, I only believed in hard work. Now there is a living example in front of me, I can’t help but believe it.”There is no reason for Ali to lie to him, so Jack Wells naturally believed Ali’s words that he only practiced for a few hundred hours. There is no other way. Sometimes people have to admit the excellence of others.
“Jack, you don’t have to underestimate yourself. You are very talented. You will be able to achieve this kind of shooting skills in the future. I have no doubt about this.”
“Thank you, I’ll give you good wishes, Ali.”
Ali also gave Jack Wells some simple encouragement, it wasn’t really encouragement, it was just a statement of fact, after all, Ali’s”advanced marksmanship” came from Jack.
One’s own business knows one’s own business, Ali didn’t rely on talent, but on plug-ins, and Jack Wells was the one who really had a talent for marksmanship!
Soon the vehicle was driving to the curfew point outside the Watson District, and the NCPD had put up the roadblock signs. Jack Wells had no choice but to stop the car to see if he could ask the police officers to let them pass.
“The Watson area has been blocked off, and a cyberpsychopath has been found ahead. We need to wait for the next notification before we can pass. This is a necessary safety measure!”
The NCPD sent a female police officer to walk to Jack Wells’ car. Jack immediately started to talk to her, first praising the female police officer for her beauty and having a heart of gold. Then he said that it was not easy for him to work outside, and his daughter was still waiting for him, a useless father.
In short, with Jack’s high emotional intelligence and sweet words, the female NCPD police officer was convinced:”Okay, then I’ll let you go this time, but it won’t happen again next time.”
“Thank you, officer, you are a kind-hearted person!”
Jack Wells laughed and secretly gave Ali a look, a look of triumph. Jack weighed more than 100 kilograms but had a heart of more than 300 kilograms. Ali, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn’t help but laugh at Jack.
The two of them passed the checkpoint smoothly. Fortunately, they didn’t meet the crazy cyber psychopath. However, they did see a flying car whizzing by on the road. It was the flying car of the Terrorist Mobile Team.
“Did you see that, Ali? The floating car that just passed by is the exclusive vehicle of the NCPD. They are the gold medal thugs hired by the NCPD. Each of them is ridiculously strong and quite scary. In short, if we meet or see them on the road, we must stay away from them.”
Jack Wells introduced the customs and practices of Night City to Ali, and Ali nodded. As for the Terrorist Squad, he was very familiar with it. The Terrorist Squad was an elite special operations department of the NCPD (Night City Police Department). They had only one goal: to eliminate troublesome things, such as fighting cyberpsychopaths, and solving some troublesome people that ordinary police could not solve.
The police officers of the Terrorist Squad could choose their own weapons, enjoy the best prosthetics, the latest prototype equipment, and enjoy complete autonomy in the execution of operations.
However, despite having so many overwhelming privileges, no mentally normal person would join this team, because they need to endure combat prosthetics with powerful side effects, and face those perverted cyberpsychopaths every day!
Only madmen can deal with madmen.
Other departments of the NCPD keep their distance from the Terrorist Squad, which makes them have a transcendent status in the NCPD organization, which seems a bit like a country within a country.
In short, as long as the Terrorist Squad arrives at the scene, there will be casualties, like a bloodthirsty sword, if they don’t kill something, they will be in trouble.
They never return to the sword, so after each operation, they will immediately go through an internal investigation to check whether they killed the wrong person and whether they need to compensate.
In addition, most of the police officers in the Terrorist Squad are very… well… very individual. They often have prosthetics, are alone, and have only one purpose in life: to capture (kill) as many cyber psychopaths as possible, and even have some cyber psychopaths themselves.
Some people say that the distinction between the Terrorist Squad and the Cyber Psychopaths is not so clear. It is rumored that in the rare case that a cyber psychopath is captured alive, the prisoner will quietly undergo transformation and join the department. Many people know the truth of this statement, but it makes their reputation even more infamous.
Transforming cyber lunatics into the Terrorist Squad to fight against cyber lunatics, Ali, as a veteran in the game, naturally knows that this is true!
But now is not the time to talk about this. After all, the Terrorist Squad has nothing to do with the current Ali. Jack drove Ali to the door of the ministerial luxury residential area assigned to female V by the company.
“Ali, I’ll just send you here. Next time if there are other tasks or something, Old Jack will definitely count you as one!”
“Thanks, Jack. I had a very fulfilling time with you today!”
Ahead, the company security will come to patrol. Especially Jack is driving this rented broken car. This car is quite conspicuous in this company area where luxury cars are common, so he can only park the car outside the area.
The car stopped here, Ali got up and left the car and walked towards home. Ali had already walked away, but Jack Wells was reluctant to leave.
He looked at the area full of luxurious residences here. It would be a lie to say that he was not envious. His dream was to be rich, live in a luxury house, drive a luxury car and become a big man who had weight wherever he went.
But if it comes to jealousy, Jack Wells is not jealous at all. He is very realistic but also has romantic blood in his body. He is upright and will not have inferiority complex and will not look down on himself, because he also firmly believes that sooner or later he will become a famous legend in Night City!
