128: End and return

The thunder was speeding through the streets of Night City, and the atmosphere inside the car was a bit subtle.

Toke was focused on driving, while Valentine occasionally glanced at Fang Yun, Hua Meiying, and Bai Xuerou in the back through the rearview mirror, a complex emotion in his eyes.

"These two women's gazes towards Fang Yun are a bit suggestive; maybe I shouldn't have let Fang Yun sit in the back with them? Tsk, a misstep."

Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou, at first, seemed a bit reserved, frequently looking at Fang Yun, but as time passed, the two gradually relaxed without realizing it.

Although they were still apprehensive about the upcoming new life, as soon as they saw Fang Yun, their uneasy hearts would calm down.

To avoid meeting the gaze of Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou, Fang Yun leaned back in his seat, chose to close his eyes and rest, while thinking about the next course of action in his mind.

"This commission is about to be completed, but the matter is not actually over yet."

"I need to find time to go to Carter Company. Whether or not Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou's parents have truly met with misfortune, I need to verify it myself."

"However, the most important thing right now is to safely deliver the magnesium strips to the designated location in the North City Industrial District first."

"I wonder if that rich woman will come looking for trouble after she finds out that Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou were rescued by me."

While thinking, Fang Yun quietly opened his eyes a crack and glanced at Hua Meiying.

"..."

At this moment, Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou, who had noticed Fang Yun closing his eyes to rest, also leaned their heads together and were there, feeling sleepy.

Obviously, they were a little tired.

Fang Yun closed his eyes again, experiencing the comfort brought by the smooth progress of the thunder.

"Toke's driving skills are good. From now on, when we take the thunder out, I should just let him be the dedicated driver."

"This feeling of swaying in the car is indeed quite comfortable."

The thunder was moving forward at a steady speed on the street.

About ten minutes later, the thunder drove into the North City Industrial District.

The location given by Old Captain was an underground delivery point in the northwest corner of the North City Industrial District.

Toke followed the navigation instructions and parked the car in front of a warehouse.

Toke turned off the thunder and then turned to Fang Yun and said:

"Fang Yun, wake up, we've reached the delivery location."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and he instantly became alert.

"That was close, I almost actually fell asleep. I never felt that riding in a car was so sleep-inducing before, why did I almost fall asleep today? Strange."

Valentine also turned around and saw Fang Yun looking like he had been startled awake, and couldn't help but tease:

"Oh, isn't this the sleepyhead? Hurry up and cheer up, this is the final step. After we deliver the goods and return to the camp, you can sleep however you want."

Fang Yun awkwardly scratched his head:

"Haha, I got it, I got it. It's really not my fault, it's just that Toke's driving skills are too good, sitting in the back feels a bit sleep-inducing."

When Toke heard that this involved him, he immediately laughed heartily:

"Haha, it seems I'm to blame. My driving skills are just that good, there's nothing I can do."

There were a few people standing outside the warehouse. When they saw a vehicle stop, one of them walked out and came forward to inquire.

"Knock, knock, knock."

That person knocked on the thunder's car window a few times, interrupting the conversation between Fang Yun and the other two.

"Are you Old Captain's people?"

When Fang Yun and the other two saw someone coming, their expressions immediately became serious, and they stopped chatting.

Toke rolled down the window and said to that person:

"Something like that. We've brought the batch of goods Old Captain wanted."

That person's expression relaxed:

"It seems it's you."

"Old Captain has already arranged it. Follow me, drive the car to Warehouse 2, and just unload the goods inside."

Toke made an "OK" gesture with his hand.

Following that person's guidance, Toke drove the thunder into the warehouse and finally stopped in front of a warehouse inside.

The door of Warehouse marked with "2" gradually opened.

Fang Yun, who had already gotten out of the car, opened the trunk and began to move the magnesium strips with Valentine, while Toke remained in the car.

Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou had already woken up because of the conversation between Fang Yun and the other two just now, and were sitting in the car at this moment, looking a little uneasy.

Toke glanced at them through the rearview mirror.

"Don't worry, it's just unloading goods. After the commission is completed, we can return to the family camp."

Hua Meiying and the other nodded, obediently sitting in their seats and waiting.

Soon, the magnesium strips were moved into Warehouse 2.

"Since the goods have been delivered, our mission is complete."

The person who guided Fang Yun to Warehouse 2 was now beside the warehouse door.

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, that person nodded:

"I'll tell Old Captain."

"..."

"Alright, all the goods have been delivered intact, you can go."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun shrugged:

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back."

Valentine stood beside Fang Yun, pressing his shoulder and rotating his arms a few times:

"It's time to go back to the camp and deal with those two people's matters."

The door of Warehouse 2 slowly closed, and Fang Yun and Valentine also returned to the car.

When Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou saw Fang Yun return, a look of relief appeared on their faces.

"Are we returning to... the family camp?"

Hua Meiying asked softly.

"Yes, the commission is complete, returning to the camp."

Fang Yun smiled and replied to Hua Meiying's question, but his mind was thinking:

"Carter Company has only set up one sales point in Night City, at least officially."

"To find information about Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou, I need to first find where Carter Company's database is located."

"Before that, it's not advisable to alert the enemy. Let's return to the family camp first."

Toke started the thunder again and drove away from the warehouse.

Because the return journey was relatively long, under Fang Yun's guidance, Toke turned on the car music, and a cheerful tune sounded inside the thunder.

Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou talked softly under the cover of the music.

Fang Yun leaned back in his seat, looking at the rapidly passing scenery outside the window, feeling a little helpless.

"You two, stop whispering, I can hear everything clearly."

Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou, naturally, didn't know how powerful Fang Yun's cybernetics were, and were still whispering together.

Bai Xuerou (holding Hua Meiying's hand): "I feel a little scared."

Hua Meiying (smiling slightly): "Don't be scared yet, let me be scared first."

Bai Xuerou (pouting slightly): "Oh, I'm talking about something serious with you."

Hua Meiying (pinching Bai Xuerou's hand): "With Fang Yun here, what are you afraid of? At worst, just give yourself to him, he won't abandon you, right?"

Bai Xuerou (her pretty face blushing): "Hehe, that's true. But I'm just worried that I might do something wrong and make Fang Yun dislike me. Haven't you thought that?"

Hua Meiying (a blush appearing on her cheeks): "I have thought about it. But, but I think Fang Yun is a good person and shouldn't dislike me just because I made a small mistake."

Bai Xuerou (stealing a glance at Fang Yun): "Yes. Fang Yun is tall and strong, and very handsome. He didn't ask for payment after saving us, and even provided us with a place to go when we were homeless. And, don't you think Fang Yun has a strange attraction about him? Every time I see him, I..." (Bai Xuerou stopped talking, her face flushed and her legs clamped tightly together)

Hua Meiying (also tightening her legs): "Don't say anymore, if you keep talking, I'm going to..."

Fang Yun heard Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou's "whispers" from beginning to end.

"..."

"What a sin."

"I didn't expect the power of a hero saving the beauty plus a chicken feather crown to be so great, it directly made them 'fall'."

"And..."

Fang Yun sniffed the air.

"This customized cybernetic body is a bit too sensitive."

"I seriously suspect that this kind of cybernetic body involves neurological modification, and even built-in hypnosis and psychological suggestion programs."

"Damn Carter Company."
