Chapter 728: A Scavenger
Corruption
This is a very common problem rooted in NCPD.
And this was the only choice Colyard had.
He chose to go along with the crowd. As the former regional director, he still had some connections. In the end, he chose to become a mercenary and then sell prosthetics.
At the same time, they also collected protection fees from gang members and secretly accepted money to do things.
It has to be said that after this set of operations, he was able to live a life without worries about food and clothing again.
His family no longer worried about money, his mother's condition gradually stabilized, and with money, he took his father to a better hospital for treatment.
I have to say that in Night City, as long as you have money, you can really solve a lot of problems. Even a cyberpsychosis patient who has entered the middle stage has actually improved with expensive treatment.
A happy future is just around the corner.
But his past misdeeds were exposed and his corruption was uncovered.
A rising star policeman named River Ward is rising. He is just, has no integrity, and always has a keen sense of perception about certain cases.
Looking at the man named River Ward, Colyard seemed to see his past self. In the end, he didn't say much and endured it silently.
I don't know when he has become the person I hated the most in the past.
Yet life goes on.
Without the stable income of being a police officer, the situation that had finally been stabilized was about to collapse again.
He had no choice but to find another way out.
At this time, a project that makes money quickly, is everywhere, and can also take revenge on those disgusting guys in the past appeared in front of him.
Scavenger.
It has to be said that scavenger is the fastest-earning profession in Night City.
Not only is the cost almost zero, but as long as you have the ability and sales channels, it is almost a sure-win business.
As for the safety factor, although it is not high, it is really profitable.
At first, he just wanted to take revenge on the executives who destroyed his biotechnology.
He started the action. It was easy to find his fellow scavengers, and since he was a former cop, he quickly found his target.
After a brief unpleasantness, they took action.
First he found the biotech executive and disassembled him into parts.
After that, he found a few people from other companies. I have to say that he was very brave, but at the same time, because he knew mercenaries and NCPD well enough, he was always able to escape in a thrilling way.
And made a lot of money.
After all, most of the prosthetics worn by company dogs are high-end and luxurious.
It is not only weak in combat power but also expensive, it is simply a fat sheep.
But there will always be a day when the fat sheep will be plucked dry.
In addition, he had been away from the police station for a long time and gradually lost confidence in the NCPD. How could his former companions still look up to him?
As for those who followed him? He didn't want to look for them now.
After all, if they knew that the rising star of the police drama they admired has now become a scavenger, who knows what their expressions would be.
Eventually, relying on his past experience, he roamed around large and small places in Night City doing the business of a scavenger.
I have to say he hid it very well. Until now, the police didn't know that he was doing the scavenger business.
Unfortunately, the biological combat cyborg launched by Arasaka changed the situation of the scavenger and made him realize that money is not so easy to make.
In particular, their own experience gradually became inapplicable, resulting in the team being frequently caught by mercenaries.
Gradually, his prestige in the team disappeared.
To the extent that his voice is declining. Originally, Colyard planned to wait and see near Dogtown and prepare to make a big move. After all, Dogtown has now become the largest gold-consuming den in Night City, with wealthy people coming in every day. They just need to make good arrangements, find a good retreat, make a big move and leave Night City.
He has even relocated his parents to another continent, and he has already figured out how to live there. He wants to completely get rid of this filth and start a new life.
Even if it's just to find an ordinary worker job.
However, the opposite happened. The decline of his voice caused his subordinates to become more perfunctory in their attitude towards him.
Until...I met Wu Guang and Yi.
……
At this moment, Yi silently watched the life of this man named Colyard.
Yi remained silent.
"So is he a good guy or a bad guy? Is he a scavenger, or is he an NCPD?"
Yi looked up at Wu Guang. Although Wu Guang looked funny with shopping bags hanging all over his body, his serious expression made Yi at a loss for words.
Wu Guang just shook his head: "I don't know what to say, right?"
Yi nodded. She saw justice and helplessness in this man named Colyard, but she also saw that he was a filial child.
If one were to describe Colyard in the past in one sentence, it would be that he was an upright, brave, and filial man.
But at the same time, she also wanted to describe him as despicable and shameless.
Because once he lets go of justice, this man starts to act badly. Many things no longer matter to him. The more just he was in the past, the more indulgent he will be afterwards.
Although the only thing that remains unchanged is his filial piety and concern for his parents.
Maybe...all he has left is the love and care of his parents.
"After all, there is no such thing as absolute justice or evil in this world. Simply put, what do you think of Lachi, the culprit who caused the network crash?"
"Bad, if it weren't for his reckless behavior, both technology and artificial intelligence would probably be quite docile, right? It's even possible that humans would have entered outer space earlier, and even completed the migration to Mars."
Wu Guang then sent a series of data reports to Yi.
The above describes the life of Luckey, the legendary Internet hacker, and why he became what he is.
Of course, Ultra also has help here, after all, Ultra and Lachi are good friends.
Then Yi fell silent.
This legendary hacker is indeed a bad guy, but he is also a passionate man. For the sake of his lover Spider Murphy, he chooses to invade countless networks and is even willing to destroy the entire network for her.
If Lucky is the protagonist of the story, then he should be the male protagonist of Mary Sue.
Not to mention it's quite romantic.
But...the whole of humanity has to bear the blame for this romance.
It's a bit hard to accept.
Yi looked at her silently with a frown. Many things were very different from what she had imagined.
Wu Guang did not continue to stimulate Yi. After all, if he poured too much into her at once, it would break down.
There was a reason why Wu Guang did this. If nothing unexpected happened, when he left, Y would follow him, either giving up her life or following Wu Guang. As for Yi, Wu Guang didn't know if she could follow him, so he just wanted to be on the safe side and teach her a lesson.
