Chapter 165 - 52 Practical Performance
Damp, chilly, dark—those are the common traits of all tunnels and caves.
The Stone Ridge Mountain tunnel is no exception.
This was originally a tunnel prepared for a transport railway for Night City, but in the end, the tunnel was constructed and the company went bankrupt.
Due to the inability to coordinate interstate railway construction, tariffs, and crossing taxes, plus endless lawsuits that dragged this railway company down to bankruptcy.
The abandoned tunnel eventually became a perfect place for the Night Wanderers to hide their ill-gotten gains, with containers, crates, and vehicles strewn in every corner of the tunnel.
There were stolen goods, purchased items, those sent over by the Chaotic Blade Association for smuggling into Night City to be shipped to other countries, and goods smuggled from outside through Night City to the United States or Free State.
Even the Night Wanderers here likely have no clue how much stuff is stored in the tunnel or the origins, which company or power these belong to.
The variety, that’s not even mentioning: prosthetics, firearms, chemical materials, metals, food, even fur coats—they do anything that can make money.

The swinging incandescent light above casts shadows of the Night Wanderers who are counting today’s shipments into Night City, lengthening and shortening them along the wall with the light.
The sunlight at the mouth of the tunnel seems a bit far from here.
