Chapter 211 Los Alamos
"."
Lilaya was silent for a while. She didn't think it was necessary for Rogge to make up a story to lie to her. Even if his opinion was somewhat subjective, the real situation should be quite different. After all, Tas did not open his mouth to refute.
"So, don't think about whether these are available or not."
Rogge said, and she glanced at Ke Ling. Anyway, she felt that this matter was very unreliable, like some kind of urban legend.
"Whatever you say, I'm leaving."
Ke Ling stood up like a bear. Just now, Tas Santiago had sent him the marked location. After getting the location, the couple had no value to him.
But if they were willing to go, Ke Ling wouldn't mind taking them with him since they provided the address.
Ke Ling stood up to leave, and Lilaya stood up after him. She was obviously still very moved and was not convinced by Rogge's words.
Tas Santiago couldn't help but raise his forehead. He noticed that Lilaya simply wanted to go out for adventure. He pulled Lilaya and gave Kid Rock a look. Go ahead, but don't go with this Devil. .
Obviously, this Mr. Devil has completely different goals than theirs, and he doesn't want to be inexplicably involved in any big incident again.
Lilaya understood the look in Tas Santiago's eyes, and she sat down honestly. She was not a person who blindly pursues excitement.
Ke Ling left the Afterlife Bar and went directly to the old captain. There was no direct flight route from Night City to Los Alamos, so he had to drive there, a distance of nearly 1,600 kilometers, almost across the entire west. , of course, if you want to choose a car suitable for off-roading, don’t make it difficult for Thracian.
"This car is absolutely suitable, my newly modified Mizutani Hayabusa Wolf."
The old captain had been in the car business, and Ke Ling came to him to borrow a car. Of course, he took out the best car at the bottom of the box.
"The standard version is a city car. It is designed for smooth roads and is not suitable for driving in desert wastelands. It will break down immediately if it hits a pothole. But after the upgrade, this Wild Wolf can cut through butter like a laser knife. It traverses all harsh terrains with ease, and its insane engine makes all those with evil intentions follow you and eat dust!
Patting the hood of the wild wolf, the old captain boasted vigorously. Of course, this was not a boast. The Mizutani Falcon was quite fast, and even two Thracians might not be able to catch up with it. If the turtle shell on its body was removed, Maybe they can compete, after all, Thrace's engine is also very powerful.
"Just this one."
Ke Ling is not picky either. Mizutani Hayabusa's appearance is still good, and it also has a rear wing, which makes it feel like a supercar, but it is more wild and not the kind that can only run on the track.
"It's a gift for you, don't refuse, or I'll be unhappy."
The old captain Muammar Reyes threw the car keys directly to Ke Ling. His face was serious and he was not joking.
In the old captain's heart, he could not express his gratitude to Ke Ling in words. Ke Ling's appearance saved too many people in Santo Domingo and made great progress in what he had been doing. This kind of kindness He has been thinking about how to repay.
It's a pity that Ke Ling doesn't have much use for him. He doesn't know what to do if he wants to repay his kindness. Taking over the organic meat business before was not considered a help. On the contrary, he took advantage of it again, which is much easier. Not to mention the income, it also provides villagers with a safer way to supplement protein.
But this time, he was finally useful. He must perform well. Compared with what Ke Ling did, what he paid was nothing.
"Then I would be disrespectful."
Ke Ling smiled and did not refuse. This time he came back and brought a large amount of Rc cell inhibitors, and cured many people in Santo Domingo, including the old captain and the patients in Santo Domingo. Now he is absolutely Is his loyal fan.
Life-saving grace is a great kindness to most people, and it is especially important to those who are kind and righteous. You save my life, and I will give you my life back.
"You must find me wherever you can find us!"
The old captain looked serious. Ke Ling didn't want anything from them, but they wanted to repay their kindness. Moreover, Ke Ling's ability showed that the old captain felt it was worth betting on. This was obviously not a thing in the pool, maybe he could Transform into a real dragon.
The old captain has some "revolutionary plot" in his heart. He firmly believes that one day people will take back the power that should belong to them. To accomplish this, it is obvious that more forces need to be united and a strong leader is needed. He didn't think he could do it, but if it was Ke Ling, he might be able to win.
"See you."
After boarding the Mizutani Hayabusa Wolf and saying goodbye to the old captain, Ke Ling drove to the downstairs of Sasha's house. This time, V and Jack Wells were not needed to follow him, and there was no need for the two of them. , Besides, there must be people left in Night City.
But I have to bring the hacker with me, so Lucy and Sasha will go with them, and Ke Ling will pick up Sasha Yakovleva first.
"Hi~ Devil, this car is nice. Is it new?"
Sasha got in the car and asked with a smile. She thought that Ke Ling would continue to drive the "tortoise shell" Thracian on this trip. Now Thracian cars are very common in Night City. The company dogs finally realized the safety of this car.
However, it is said that Cyberdrifters are unhappy with this because it makes some originally simple killing tasks more difficult.
"The old captain gave it to me. This car is more suitable for long journeys."
While chatting and laughing with Sasha, Ke Ling drove to Lucy's home. After a while, the two met up with Lucy who was waiting.
The Mizutani Hayabusa Wolf is not a passenger car, but it is not a big problem for one man and two women to sit in it. It just needs the two girls to squeeze a little. Sasha and Lucy don't mind. Although they have known each other for a short time, they have a surprisingly good relationship.
"Are we leaving now?"
Lucy got in the car and asked Ke Ling. In fact, she could not come to Ke Ling's private affairs, but since Ke Ling invited her, she did not refuse. She did not mind helping Ke Ling. It can be seen that the improvement of personal charm has a great impact.
"Let's go."
Ke Ling did not hesitate and drove all the way east from Night City to Los Alamos. Basically, he drove all the way east without changing direction.
With the heat waves rising from the endless asphalt road, the Mizutani Falcon Wolf was at full speed, speeding forward on the Bad Land Highway. The scenery on the dry desert road was boring, and there were endless bushes outside the car, which remained unchanged for hundreds of kilometers.
The speed of the Mizutani Falcon Wolf would indeed make the wanderers far behind. If they wanted to stop this car, they must be prepared in advance.
Those wanderers who had the idea on their own had no effective means at all. Before they could start to act, the Mizutani Falcon Wolf had already whizzed past.
Ke Ling's ability to control his body, dynamic vision and other abilities determined that he could always drive the Mizutani Falcon Wolf at full speed. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was flying close to the ground along the way.
There were no dangers along the way. Ke Ling drove the car at the speed of the high-speed rail and arrived in less than six hours for the 1,600-kilometer journey.
"Los Alamos, this place has been abandoned for a long time."
When they arrived in Los Alamos, they drove on a dusty and potholed road. This road has almost become a ghost road. It may have been abandoned for a long time. The sand has completely occupied this place, but occasionally some cracked asphalt with a rebellious spirit has emerged from the sand.
Following this broken road, they drove all the way to a laboratory park, and the "Los Alamos Laboratory" was right in front of them.
"This place looks really broken."
Sasha complained. This place is completely different from what she thought. It is so famous, but now it is rotten as if it has been abandoned for decades.
Lucy was also a little surprised. It looked worse than the laboratory she escaped from. It looked like a dilapidated building.
"After all, it is a building from more than a hundred years ago."
Ke Ling didn't find it strange. No matter how famous it was, it was an old building from more than a hundred years ago. Moreover, in the past hundred years, there have been wars. The great United States has been divided and collapsed, and New Mexico has become a free state.
The three of them got out of the car after stopping at the door of the laboratory. Los Alamos lay in front of them like a seriously injured beast. It occupies a vast area and has tall buildings, but most of the buildings have collapsed.
The three of them entered the laboratory park and passed through the maze-like security gates and warning signs. There were "broken hub" signs everywhere, that is, "nuclear" signs, warning people of the danger here. Lucy and Sasha did a full set of nuclear protection and brought a lot of medicine. Ke Ling did not do anything unnecessary.
"Where should we go?"
Lucy asked. To be honest, this place is a mess. From the appearance of these collapsed and broken buildings, they can't guess where the experimental building where nuclear bombs may be stored is.
"PF-4, the legendary core of the US nuclear deterrence force, let me see the location."
Ke Ling looked at the location marked by Tas Santiago. After all, the big reporter had been here in person. He marked this place in detail. More than 30 years have passed, and this place has not changed much.
The three of them continued to move forward and stopped in front of a parking lot, which was full of various kinds of scrapped cars.
"Found it, PF-4 building, plutonium laboratory."
Ke Ling confirmed that it was the building in front of him, a two-story brown building with no style characteristics, very inconspicuous, mixed in a bunch of randomly scattered and equally featureless buildings, except that the individual buildings were too big, there was nothing special about them.
"Emm~ So how do we get in?"
Sasha's eyes flashed, and she began to search for nearby network signals. This might be a good way to locate the target. At the same time, she and Lucy quickly hacked several cameras and paralyzed several "buzzing" automatic machine guns.
Although other places in the park were very messy and looked like they had been abandoned for dozens or hundreds of years, this PF-4 building was obviously different. There was still a working defense system here, which seemed to mean that they were not in the wrong place.
"Go in through the gate."
Ke Ling walked straight ahead, but he did not go to the gate, but to a side door. The gate was not the door leading to the real laboratory.
The side door was tightly closed, and judging from the dust accumulated around it, it seemed that it had not been opened for a long time. There might be an internal circulation ecosystem inside, just like some shelters. Even if it is not opened, it can last for hundreds of years.
"Wait for me."
Ke Ling observed for a while. He was going to try the civil method first. If the civil method didn't work, he would try the military method.
Shadows surged under his feet. Although it was daytime now, the sunlight was blocked in this place, so Ke Ling could still use the shadow.
"Buzz!"
The shadow surged on the ground and went in from the side door that seemed to be tightly closed. Ke Ling smiled, and his figure flashed, and he appeared directly in the laboratory inside the side door.
"I'm coming in now."
Ke Ling looked around. It was dark inside and the lights were not on, but this did not affect Ke Ling's vision. He quickly found the lights and the door switch.
"Click."
He turned on the light and dropped the switch. The door opened with a "hum". The sound of the door showed that it was quite heavy.
"No matter how many times I see your ability, I still feel it's magical."
Sasha and Lucy came over and first expressed their surprise at Ke Ling's ability. After all, this ability was completely incomprehensible.
"Someone is coming."
Ke Ling didn't joke with the two because he heard footsteps. Sasha and Lucy immediately looked for cover. They were not like Ke Ling.
"It's a robot."
The "tat-tat-tat" sound of metal hitting each other was too obvious. Ke Ling made a judgment in an instant that it was a robot.
As expected, several teams of robots rushed over here with guns. This laboratory is very large, and there must be many guards inside.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Without any nonsense, the robots immediately launched an attack, even saving the trouble of asking questions. After all, Ke Ling and his team came in without permission, so there is no need to ask, they must be intruders.
"Buzz!"
Ke Ling's figure flashed, and he came directly to a robot. He stretched out his hands and grabbed the robot directly.
The shadow covered the robot, and the robot immediately began to transform. Because of its large size, the transformation took a few seconds. The surrounding robots shot at Ke Ling one after another, but all the bullets were blocked by Ke Ling's shadow.
"Bang bang bang!"
Soon, the transformation was completed, and the robot was transformed into a "shadow robot" by Ke Ling's "shadow hand". The "shadow robot" began to fight back, and the gun in his hand fired bullets with lightning power. The bullets hit the robots and a burst of electric current ran wildly.
Ke Ling's figure flashed, and he transformed several robots into shadows in succession. His "Shadow Hand" can be called the "Intelligent Machine Killer". Obviously, robots are not included in the living creature judgment of the "Shadow Hand". These robots can be transformed by him, but it is not known whether real "Intelligent Machines" can be transformed by him.
Soon, more than a dozen robots were transformed by Ke Ling's shadows. They opened the way in front of them with guns. Ke Ling called Sasha and Lucy to follow.
"."
The expressions of Sasha and Lucy were numb. Obviously, they didn't know how to react to Ke Ling's operation.
"The signal is much better here. The laboratory should be shielded from the outside world."
Coming to Ke Ling, Sasha said that she and Lucy had already located the control signals of these robots.
"Let's pull her out."
Ke Ling said with a smile. He thought that the guy watching in the dark should be scared.
"What the hell is this?!"
It is true. Angel, who had just sent away several teams of robot guards, is now a little confused. She was really scared. Who can tell her what happened just now? !
"What kind of strange ability is this?!"
The man just stretched out his hand and took away all the control of her robot guard! She didn't feel the network attack at all, it was the strange black power that worked!
"Whose family is it?"
Angel sent out a distress signal immediately, but she was a little pessimistic, because the enemy had already entered the laboratory, and she felt that it was too late to ask for help now.
But she couldn't be blamed for this, because what happened now was completely beyond her expectations, and even beyond her understanding.
