Chapter 926 Current Night City (Part 3)

The scale of the camp of wanderers in the Badlands is even larger than Lill thought:

The number of wanderers in the United States is conservatively estimated to be more than one million. As a clan with no obvious political inclinations and religious beliefs and the most inclusive, Adecado has the largest number of people, but it has no organizational ability, which makes people feel very weak, and eventually led to a large number of tribes joining other clans.

The wanderers are also divided into tribes. Adecado is a large family. There were originally seven such large families, but one of them, the Meta clan, had transformed into a formal company at the beginning of the century and occupied New Mexico City.

In the decades of turmoil, the remaining six clans were either recruited and had deep connections with the company, or slowly wasted in the Badlands and greeted a slow death.

There are many main reasons: First, farmers in this world cannot farm.

Take North America as an example. Extreme climate and natural disasters have caused the desert range in North America to expand and the habitable area has also been greatly reduced. For example, a magnitude 10.5 earthquake occurred in Los Angeles in 1999, which directly caused 35% of the city to be flooded.

Typhoon Natalie, which is happening in Europe right now, is a natural disaster of the new era. The storm will not pass quickly, but will last for a while.

At the same time, large-scale and unrestrained underground resource exploitation has destroyed the geology of most lands. Wars have made it impossible for people to survive in rural areas. The market environment has collapsed and goods cannot be circulated, which is a vicious cycle.

But the most fundamental reason is that the company has exterminated "uncontrolled seeds".

I don't know since when, the only seeds that farmers can buy are those that cannot produce seeds and sterilized seeds, such as the seeds of alcohol 2 wheat. This crop has been circulated on the market through various technologies and processes such as genetic engineering and hybrid breeding. Only haploid crops that can only be harvested once are circulated on the market.

At the same time, for other types of crops, including food and cash crops, in order to monopolize agriculture, companies will target a crop virus to the entire North America, or even the world, and only crops that have been genetically modified by the company can be grown -

But don't forget that the land in this world is no longer suitable for farming.

Many factors have made the small peasant economy an impossible thing. Wanderers can only wander, not because they like wandering, they like to be homeless criminals.

So there are no farmers in this world. There are agricultural technicians in the company, but according to the commonly used classification method, they should be classified as workers.

Usually, this is a conspiracy theory, but Lille can confirm:

The biotechnology company is the biggest executor of this plan, and the Illuminati has clearly confirmed that they did so-

Antitrust law is a joke in this world, not to mention that the Central Executive Committee of the European Community also holds shares in those companies. What reason is there to stop yourself from making more money?

Cities don’t need farmers. Massive unemployment and turmoil make politicians unwilling to accept them, which has caused a large number of farmers to be displaced and become wanderers.

They are forced to wander. Adaptation is positive, but it is indeed a helpless move. So when Adecado began to be accepted by Night City and settled near the city, obtained stable jobs and respect, other clans also began to approach Night City.

The population growth rate of cities around the world is almost negative, only Night City has been growing year after year

Although it is not through natural reproduction.

Adecado was almost dissipated before. Even if they did not join the company, most clans would rather join the more tightly organized Snake State. Now this momentum has stopped somewhat.

".Then all the Adecados in the United States are coming. Shouldn't we go say hello to Thor and Panam?"

As soon as V finished speaking, he happened to pass by an Adecado camp on the side of the road. Several Adecados were driving a Mackinaw around a campfire. They seemed to be on patrol, and even brought two children with them.

The child reacted the fastest. He looked only 13 or 14 years old, between childish and beginning to enter society.

The education of wanderers is more advanced, focusing on practical operations, and forced by life.

Seeing Barley, the group's eyes were straight:

In Night City, there is only one armored pickup truck this big!

And what's even more amazing is that every time this super pickup truck returns with medals all over its body, that is, scars, but this time there is not even a scratch on it, it looks completely new!

"Legend!"

The excited voice of the child made V feel very happy. She rolled down the window and waved to the people outside. Her expression was very fake. I don't know how many ways she has tried to respond in the past two years. She looked like a star.

Lille didn't respond: "Not for now, but you can tell them you're back, let Thor come over. Uh, the place where you usually talk about things."

"Oh, you're getting shy now, isn't the place where you usually talk about things the afterlife? Have you lost your memory?"

V laughed at Lille mercilessly, then shouted to the people outside: "Let Thor come over to the afterlife!"

"Okay! And, welcome home!"

V lay back in his seat contentedly: "It feels good to be a star."

"What's the big brand on the conspicuous bag for?"

Lille pointed to the electronic display board at the core of the Adecado camp, which looked like it was taken down from some big factory.

"It's a bulletin board. One posts job information, and the other posts relief supplies information. Ryan and Peralez said they should find a way to keep these people here. Maybe they will be useful in the future.

But I guess they were persuaded by Saul. The bearded man kept saying "big family", "family", "we are a family" all day long. I guess they were scared.

Hey, no, in the past, Lark should have sent me a message when I returned to this place. Why didn't it receive it now?"

"Maybe it was scared by me."

In fact, Lil had already replied to Lark and blocked her communication. To be precise, she rewrote the system on V and Jack. The two of them had replaced a lot of prostheses and the drivers were also modified.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum!

Hackers need to know hardware knowledge, but hackers are not hardware engineers after all. Compared with Lil and Muramasa, 99.99% of the prosthesis drivers on the market are garbage.

So Lark already knew who else was in the car, and he was probably nervous in the office right now. Ryan, Perales, and Hansen were probably the same:

Not only because Lille had returned, but also because they had seen the war.

V shrugged, and the main point was to give up thinking, and whatever Lille said was true.

"Why are you scaring people - but there are more and more people here, but there are not so many jobs, and the same is true for supplies. Sol often says this."

"Soon the crowd will not be a problem. How is Santo Domingo now? Is the sergeant still in charge?"

A huge freight truck passed by Lille, and the driver on it was staring at the barley with his eyes wide open, drooling at the barley.

The truck was full of brand new Mackinaws, from pickups to armored vehicles. Obviously, Mackinaw Universal Vehicles specializes in heavy vehicles, and its sales are not bad, and there are also sales channels. It seems to be sold to Mexico, and there is also an Adecado convoy escorting it.

Obviously, these are all cars produced in Santo Domingo.

There used to be a windbreak wall on the way to Saint Domingo. Now there is a concrete structure on the wall. At first glance, it looks like the former Dog Town Fortress. The former Hellhounds are wearing the clothes of the city defense army and patrolling on it.

There are also fixed missile launch bases and other weapons on the wall. Obviously, although Night City is unable to take over the original border position of military technology, it has not given up setting up armed forces outside the city.

Ordinary cars entering the city will be inspected and questioned, just like the previous border wall, but Barley can pass directly.

"Yes, it's still him. The order in Dog Town also broke his other leg. This old guy is really tough."

Just after passing the wall, a brand new Saint Domingo appeared in front of him.
