Chapter 127 Biotechnology

"Hello, my name is V."

V confidently extended his hand to Panam, saying that he was willing to be her partner and help her get back all the lost cars and guns.

However, facing this cocky guy, Panam was very impatient and shook off V's hand. She was so angry that she didn't want to pay any attention to V's approach:
"Stop talking nonsense to me. If you don't get my things back today, I will never let you go!"

Looking at this female homeless person with a temper as violent as that of a wildcat, Jack Wells at the side could not help but step forward and ask:

"This is really strange. Aren't there always groups of wanderers from Adecado? Why did you come to Night City alone?"

"You didn't leave the tribe without permission, did you?"

Seeing another big and strong mercenary coming towards her, the straightforward Panam was still not afraid. She glanced at Jack with a cold expression:
"What does this have to do with you? Just go wherever is cooler!"

After being scolded by Panam, Jack felt a little embarrassed. He was about to pull V away angrily, not wanting to get involved in such muddy water.

But V spoke first: "Listen, Panam, I can help you find your lost things, but you have to tell us the truth."

"Because we won't work together with people we don't know. Besides, you must be a wanderer who left the family alone, right?"

V is also a wanderer who left the Baker family. Having lost the protection of his family, he understands too well what it's like to be a helpless wanderer.

V saw his former self in Panam. At that time, he was also full of thorns, afraid that someone would think he was easy to bully and come to cause trouble for him.

At this moment, Panam had noticed that V seemed to exude a wanderer-like temperament, and her attitude became gentler than before.

"Yes, but I only left the Adecardo family temporarily and did not completely break with the people in the tribe."

Panam originally planned to come to Night City and work as a mercenary, hoping to try his luck and see if he could make a name for himself here.

But now it seems that she finds that she still cannot leave the Adecado family. Whether it is inner emotional identification or dependence on survival, the family can give her much more help than Night City.

It was because of some conflicts in the family that Panam was angry for a while and she did not return to Adecado's camp immediately.

'She is indeed from a family of wanderers.'

After listening to Panam's introduction, V nodded thoughtfully. How could a woman with few connections in Night City dare to leave the protection of her family so rashly?

I really don't know whether to say that Panam is a man of great skill and courage, or that he is simply a naive person with a bad temper and a straightforward personality, who doesn't even have this little bit of precaution.

"Panam, can I ask why you want to leave the Adekado tribe?" V asked again.

Generally speaking, wanderers will not leave the camp easily. After all, for a wanderer to come to Night City alone is no different from seeking death.

The domineering street boy, the sinister and cunning scavenger, the beastly corporate dog, each of them is a tough guy who is not easy to mess with.

Even V, who was very skilled, had to establish contact with a middleman in Night City before leaving the Buckle family, and then he dared to set foot in this free city with confidence. However, from Panam's impulsive behavior, V could see that she left the family on a whim and had never made any long-term plans in Night City.

If this is the case, either Panam offended an important figure in Adkadori and was driven out.

Or maybe someone offended her, and she was so angry that she came to Night City alone without even making any plans.

Then this terrible thing happened.

Seeing that V seemed to be trying to get to the bottom of the matter, Panam couldn't help but frown slightly. She was already a little annoyed by V's questions, but at the moment, no matter how unhappy she was, she had to endure it.

After all, Panam really needs a reliable helper now to help her snatch her car and gun back from those bastards of the Luan Dao Society.

Immediately, Panam took a deep breath, calmed down his slightly agitated mood, and then explained the actual situation to V:
"Our tribal leader, Saul Bright, is a complete idiot. He plans to cooperate with biotech companies and sell our people to those disgusting corporate dogs."

"I couldn't stand his behavior of licking the company's boots, so I ran here alone to try my luck, but now it seems that Night City is not as good as the camp in the Badlands!"

Panam folded his hands and spoke frankly with indignation.

Biotechnology companies have many of their own food processing plants, experimental bases and other construction areas in the badlands.

In fact, most of the wanderer families near the Badlands have close ties with various companies in Night City. Sometimes the wanderers will undertake transportation tasks for the company.

But not every wanderer wants to cooperate with companies, especially companies like biotechnology that like to use humans for experiments!
"Biotechnology……"

Hearing this familiar company name, V suddenly remembered the news he had just seen on TV. The mysterious deaths of wanderers from the Red Ochre Tribe seemed to be related to this company.

Although Biotechnology denied the rumor on TV, saying that it had nothing to do with the matter, V always felt that the opposite was true. This company was probably conducting some shameful experiments on homeless people.

"Why does your leader Thor want to cooperate with a biotechnology company? Logically speaking, biotechnology scientists don't need any technical help from you at all."

V continued to ask, now there are rumors that biotechnology is using living people for human experiments, so it seems that this is really possible!
Seeing V asking questions endlessly, Panam, who was about to lose her patience, took a deep breath again. She resisted the urge to curse and responded reluctantly:
"Biotech wants us to be their watchdogs and to participate in some of the company's research experiments. Fuck you, they're just going to make us guinea pigs!"

"But I don't know where that idiot Saul heard this idiotic rumor, saying that it's popular for gangs to cooperate with companies nowadays, and that the triads in Little Chinatown are dogs of LA companies."

"The Tiger Claws are following Arasaka, the Six Streets Gang's veterans are from the military technology industry, and even the Valentinos have connections with the Cuban Group."

"But what the hell does this have to do with us, Adecado? Why don't we just stay in the Bad Land and be our wanderers?"

"Fuck! I really want to shoot that idiot in the head and see what kind of mess is in his brain!"
