Chapter 656: Changes in Night City
However, this operation also successfully provoked resistance from gang members, and there were more street fights.
The NCPD's personnel losses actually increased significantly.
At the same time, the middlemen also received a lot of orders, and the conflicts between mercenaries and gangs gradually intensified.
Today, the gang members in Night City are actually on the edge.
In the past, when the Whirlpool Gang and the Voodoo Gang were around, things were relatively stable. After all, the division of power had already been completed, and they had reached a delicate balance with each other.
And it was because of the actions of Wu Guang and the Internet Monitoring Bureau.
There are only a few people left in the Vortex Gang now, and they are all drug addicts with severe drug addiction and have no way to escape. Although the drug factory has been blown up, there are still a few people in the gang who can make drugs. Rather than saying that they are the Vortex Gang, it is better to say that they are a gathering place for drug addicts.
They are all non-threatening guys.
Not to mention the Voodoo Gang, which is now completely gone.
As a result, the Animal Gang was targeted by the NCPD, and their lives became extremely miserable.
The remaining Moxes are a gang made up of sex dolls. They do have fighting power, but they mostly want to maintain their own interests. They are a small group that sticks together for warmth.
The remaining gangs are the Sixth Street Gang, Valentino, and the Tiger Claw Gang.
Three companies dominate the market.
However, the Sixth Street Gang is essentially retired military personnel, and they were formed because of chaos, injustice, and the inaction of the NCPD.
Now that the NCPD wants to maintain order, they will not get too involved and may even cooperate.
Of course, the premise is that NCPD is really doing its job.
As for Valentino and the Tiger Claw Gang.
One is made up of street thugs, and the other is from Neon.
It is also the most intense resistance.
After all, both have relatively stable incomes, and the Tiger Claw Gang controls a gold-consuming den like Genting, so many people want to join in every day.
But unfortunately, Arasaka had already put his hand deeper.
The top brass of the Tiger Claw Gang are exploited every day.
As for jumping up and resisting?
How does a gang go against a company?
Arasaka's actions also prompted the military to respond.
Although they don't know why Arasaka wants to attack a gold-consuming den like Genting, they will not sit idly by and take action directly against the Rokugai Gang.
For a time, every gang in Night City was in danger.
Of course, the so-called action is actually more of a way to win over the gangs and make them become the company's field staff, or contract workers in short.
In the past, the company would also seek assistance in this regard. After all, Arasaka and the Tiger Claw Gang are very close, and to be honest, the military and the Six Street Gang are actually one family.
Now that they have returned, neither side will resist too much. If that doesn't work, they can just replace a new group of senior executives.
The only group that still has the ability to resist is the Valentino gang.
There is really no one who cares about them and no one wants them.
At this time, V stood up. As a person who was born in Heywood, he had a deep cooperation with the priest, the middleman, and he also got the signal from Wu Guang, so V stood up.
At the same time, Lucy also began to take steps to replace the remaining remnants.
Begin to take control of the Watson District.
Although Mann's team is still a mercenary group, they are also gradually beginning to gain power.
A month is neither too short nor too short a time, and it is enough time to do a lot of things.
Many middlemen in Night City also learned the news.
Many middlemen have gradually realized the problem.
Some of the more marginal ones, such as the old captain, were more well-informed and prepared to evacuate Night City at the first opportunity.
It’s not that he’s afraid, but there are no suitable businesses in Night City anymore.
The old captain's main business is stealing vehicles and being a professional middleman to clean up the mess for the company's people.
To put it bluntly, his existence is for the purpose of corruption.
Some second-generation rich children of high-ranking officials all like cars, and the old captain can get one, so he accepts the relationship and therefore comes into contact with second-generation rich people, and most of them are company people.
When the company makes a big move, he is always better informed than other middlemen.
So he was also the first one to realize that if he continued to stay in Night City, he might rot there.
As a well-known middleman in Saint-Domingue, his departure naturally spread quickly.
Other well-known middlemen have also realized the quiet transformation of Night City, and naturally some of them are planning to give up and move to other cities. After all, the world is so big, and there is more to it than just Night City.
The reason why middlemen can gain a foothold in Night City is because of their cooperation with other companies and tacit understanding with gangs, which acts as a buffer between multiple forces.
Now the gang is in danger, and the company is taking a tough stance.
The orders that these middlemen can receive are gradually decreasing.
And since they can't give out orders, their mercenaries naturally have no tasks to do and no food to eat.
Over time..
People's hearts are scattered.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to take the mercenaries and some of his men and move directly to other cities.
For example, San Diego is also an autonomous state and is just as chaotic, but once you go there you have to start all over again.
Many of the middlemen were hesitant, but Wakako, for example, had already packed up and left.
After all, at her age, she is very open-minded. Middlemen are needed because of chaos. Although Night City seems to be in chaos now, it is actually just the gang’s final counterattack.
Soon after this turmoil, Night City will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Then came Dano Tinovich and Regina Jones, one of whom was playing in a band in the city center. The reason he became the middleman was his fame. Now that the company's control has increased, he naturally quit and focused on playing in the band.
It's just not rooted in Night City anymore.
Regina Jones is a middleman in Watson District. She used to be an independent journalist. She has seen too many things and come into contact with many powerful and wealthy people, which is why she stands in the position of middleman.
Now, due to the control of gangs and companies, she has to gradually stay away from disputes.
After all, if she continued, she would soon be noticed by people in the company.
After all, she has a lot of dirty laundry on the company, and if the water in Night City becomes clear, she won't be able to escape.
A total of four well-known middlemen left, and many small middlemen were ecstatic. The departure meant that their chances of becoming responsible middlemen in the region increased.
Rogge sat in the afterlife, looking at the obvious decrease in the number of mercenaries, and she just shook her head and sighed.
leave?
There is no way Roger will leave the afterlife.
Although Afterlife is the heart of mercenaries in Night City and a well-known trading place, many small middlemen made their fortunes here.
But speaking of fame, even if Rogge no longer acts as a middleman, this bar can provide her with a living in her old age.
So instead of leaving to fight, it’s better to spend your old age here.
Of course the most important thing is...she won't leave if Johnny comes back.
As for the priest, he cannot leave because his home is here. Unless Valentino is gone, he will also be gone.
At the same time, as the number of mercenaries decreased, the scavengers became more and more arrogant. Coupled with the fighting between NCPD and gangs, countless prosthetics were equivalent to picking up money for free.
Although Night City is developing in a good direction, mercenaries, gangs, and some darkness will still exist.
The middlemen have gradually become the winners.
