Players Invade Cyberpunk-Chapter 765 - 247: Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse
The internal structure of the Cleaner stronghold is complex, with smuggled goods crates filled with weapons, ammunition, and prosthetics piled everywhere.
According to the original plan, the prosthetics inside would be boxed and sent to the airport, then pulled to the Soviet Union, with a portion of the exchanged arms left in Night City, while the remaining majority would be sent to various locations in North America after completing the transaction at the sports field.
But now the Soviet Petrochemical trading partner has been detained in the Taiping Continent prison, and the local Cleaner strongholds have been continuously picked off, forcing both sides to temporarily suspend the transaction, causing a large quantity of goods to be stockpiled here, including quite a bit of Cleaner private stash.
For example, the Astra hovercar suspended mid-air by a crane, a Minotaur bipedal mech obtained from Netherworld Dog at a glance, Huang Ban's octant drones, and so forth.
Unfortunately, the Cleaners themselves lack technical reserves, only fiddling with prosthetics, so all these damaged mechanical large items are under repair and modification, unable to operate normally.
Brother Ni and the others who infiltrated were quite envious to see it, but currently, they're on a mission, actively searching for another node on the local network as mentioned by Pandora.
Along the way, they encountered many Cleaners, all looking hurried, most gathering their belongings to clean up uninvited guests at the front of the stronghold, while a few took advantage of the chaos to perform little sneaky acts, privately stashing military prosthetics goods.
In the chaos, Brother Ni and his team unexpectedly passed through without any Cleaner detecting a group had already reached the depths of the stronghold.
"My goodness, the stuff here isn't worth millions by market price, is it?"
Shui Yue clicked his tongue in wonder, having seen no fewer than a hundred boxes of weapons along the way, with bullets measured by the ton, although most are Russian goods he didn't recognize, still calculated by weight, it's worth a lot.
"Such a lucrative scenario... doesn't add up."
Brother Ni felt puzzled too, as the earnings and risks of a raid are linked, though the stronghold has a boss considered unsolvable and a large number of Cleaners, it shouldn't be worth such price.
Unless there are other unseen risks hidden within.
He stayed cautious but didn't take it too seriously, since they were already here, it would be nonsensical not to kill all the Cleaners and grab loot.
As for risks, that will be considered later.

Dog Town is only so big, fire a shot anywhere, and within minutes basically, half of Dog Town knows, not to mention players here firing away, rockets exploding loud enough to startle heavens, others couldn't possibly be unaware.
Unlike the Night City folks who avoid gunfights, Dog Town residents are definitely bloodthirsty spectators.
"Who's firing over there? So fierce, is there a war?"
"Could it be Netherworld Dog? I heard Hansen's pissed at the Cleaners, last time they even hijacked his goods, he's probably here to settle the score."
"But I didn't see any military vehicles of Netherworld Dog passing through here."
"Whoever fights against whom, none are good, I'd say the more dead, the better."
"It's so intense, I think at least 20 Cleaners will die."
"Hey, do you think it might be related to those people?"
"Which ones? Besides Netherworld Dog, who else in Dog Town dare oppose the Cleaners? Must have a surplus of kidneys."
"It's those folks who came today, weren't they selling water to you a few hours ago?"
"Them?"
The speaker hesitated.
Before leaving, Rorschach specifically instructed someone to take the Cleaners to eliminate those who sold water on his turf, which led to several small skirmishes in the waste yard, resulting in Rorschach and the Cleaner's people being annihilated, and the battle prowess of newcomers left local residents uneasy.
"They don't have any grudge against the Cleaners, do they?"
"Not necessarily, I heard the people behind the Cleaners got messed up by that company, now both sides are at odds..."
Speaker says unintentionally, listener takes it to heart.
The melon-eating crowd inside Long Beach Waste Yard discussed fervently, some even started a betting game on which side would suffer more casualties.
Only someone felt extremely guilty.
I was just speaking casually, fellows.
Who knew you'd be so fierce, I just mentioned a person's name, and before the effect even dried here, you're already fighting them.
Alek was quite certain, the ones clashing with Cleaners couldn't be Netherworld Dogs, Hansen has conflicts with Cleaners but it's merely about money, hardly a reason to send a force into Cleaners' lair for a showdown.
It must be those new lunatics.
Therefore Alek dared not interact with those customers at all, for letting them know that Rorschach's name was revealed by him, Moth Bar would surely be in chaos.
But why would they hassle with the Cleaners?
Could they be mistaken?
Alex had a splitting headache, as a Special Intelligence Bureau officer, she had remained in Dog Town without leaving, partly because there were no new instructions from above, and partly because she seriously didn't want to get involved in these absurd affairs.
But now Horizon Corporation has entered Taiping Continent, and Dog Town as the core, those lunatics here certainly won't miss the opportunity to stir things up in this place, the situation is turning weird.
Hansen, Taiping Continent, Little Beidou Laboratory, any element would be enough for New America and military tech to step in, as an insider Alek couldn't escape.
And just at this critical moment, she heard the name Solomon Lid again, as if an invisible hand by fate was driving everything.
