Night.

Watson City North Industrial Zone.

A fierce battle is raging at the abandoned steel mill, and the flames are lit up in the darkness.

The sound of gunfire echoing even from a distance of several kilometers is not a special concern for the countless nights in Night City.

Caitlin, the deputy director of the Special Operations Department of the Arasaka Company, is trying her best to organize a new round of attacks, targeting the charge of Mann and the others in the workshop.

Caitlin was a subordinate that Susan Abernathy focused on training when she was in charge of the Special Operations Department, and she was tasked with stealing military technology tonight.

At first, Caitlyn thought it was a chaotic harvest, but she didn't expect that the Vortex gang had cleaned it up, and the group of cyberpunks from Watson were still stubbornly resisting in the workshop.

The first group of special operations department special service teams to enter the workshop were killed and wounded by the bombing, and most of them retreated.

She had no choice but to give the order for an indiscriminate fire covering attack first.

Despite the fierce artillery fire, judging from the detection results of the thermal imager, the five opponents hid in a blind corner and avoided the artillery fire.

"Damn cyberpunk!"

Caitlin went on a mission this time and applied to send three special operations department Arasaka special service teams, the number of operators is not small, if there are major casualties, it is very likely to face investigation after returning to the company.

And there was not much time left, and Director Ebernathy ordered that the time limit given was ten minutes, that is, the results had to be reported before nine o'clock and ten minutes.

She knew that the information about the transaction had been leaked by a counterintelligence informant, and that the counterintelligence department would be operating in half an hour.

Although Director Abnacy has already been greeted by Director Abernathy, it has been confirmed that the Counterintelligence Department has only sent a special service team, and Carter Smith, who is still the inner ghost.

But once the target prosthetic body is not obtained, which leads to the revelation of the leak by the upper echelons, not only Carter Smith is dead, but even she will find it difficult to escape from implication, and even become an outcast.

Now that a wave of attacks failed to take down Mann and the others, Caitlyn ordered to stop the fire coverage.

She took the initiative to shout to the workshop: "I know that you are trading that military-grade Sianweistan of military technology, we are willing to pay double the price of the Vortex Gang to buy, we will take the money for you to deliver, how about leaving after the matter is completed?" ”

As soon as Caitlin finished speaking, one of the Arasaka agents threw an electronic account chip into the workshop.

The chip that flew into the workshop happened to land on the skull of a member of the Vortex Gang after it exploded, and was inserted diagonally into the bloody white brain flower that was steaming in the soft mud.

"There are 100,000 euros in it, and after you get it, you can leave the prosthetic body."

Hearing the movement of Arasaka outside, Mann, who was hiding in the corner of the workshop, shouted in a deep voice: "The prosthetic body has been taken away by the Vortex Gang, and I have nothing in my hands now!" ”

Hearing Mann's refusal, Caitlin grimed down and gritted her teeth and scolded, "It's hard to be dead yet, rush in for me, and kill them all!" ”

Armed with Arasaka's well-armed weapons, the two special forces once again launched an offensive charge against Mann.

The strong firepower blew up the dust, bricks and tiles in the workshop, and the whole workshop shook as if a major earthquake was happening.

Mann is also scolding his mother frantically in his heart, obviously the prosthetic body has been stolen by the Vortex Gang and is not in the workshop, but this old lady of Arazaka just doesn't believe it.

"Qiwei, how is Lucy's side?"

Qi Wei quickly replied: "There is no news yet, the military technology people have arrived but have not done it for a long time, because they want us to fight with Arasaka to break the net."

"Grass!"

Mann cursed.

The girl with two ponytails was even more angry, glared at the Arasaka special service team who was about to enter the workshop, and shouted: "Mann, don't hesitate, just kill this group of miscellaneous pieces, and we will kill them ourselves!" ”

Mann and the others no longer showed weakness and began to launch a strong counterattack against Arasaka.

Machine guns, arm guns, high-explosive grenades, and all other firepower greeted the Arasaka special service team in the face.

Even if the Arasaka Special Service Team was wearing a full set of bulletproof equipment, it could not withstand the firepower of Mann and the others.

Suddenly.

The Great War broke out again.

The Arasaka Special Service was killed and wounded in a heavy exchange of fire.

Suddenly.

The Mann Boom Cannon jams, causing a gap in heavy fire.

The Arasaka Secret Service immediately aimed at him and pulled the trigger, and a shuttle of fire shot from the muzzle of the gun shot at Mann.

Seeing Mann in danger, Dolio jumps down and knocks Mann down.

But because he couldn't dodge, he was shot three times in the right shoulder and arm, and he might have burst the back of his neck veins a little higher.

The five-man team instantly lost two firepower points, and the Arasaka special service team immediately began to organize an effective offensive counterattack.

Pyra wanted to throw another high-explosive grenade, but before she could retract her palm, she was smashed by several fire bombs.

Shocked that Pyra screamed: "Grass, Lao Tzu's flexible prosthetic palm, what are you doing all day long after you break it??? ”

The double ponytail girl smiled hideously: "It's fun to leave it all to me, hahaha!" ”

The magazines of the two pistols were swept away, and after throwing them away, he immediately took out a green-shell machine gun and aimed it at the Arasaka special service team.

Dadada!!

The opponent's whole person was swept away by countless fragmented bullets, and was shot into bright red blood and scattered backwards.

Qi Wei seized all the time to break the ICE of the Arasaka Special Service, but Arasaka is extremely accomplished in the field of cyber hacking, and deliberately strengthened the security level of ICE, and it is difficult to completely invade in this emergency.

Qi Wei had no choice but to change her strategy and launch a long-range bombardment to cause the opponent's prosthetic body to overload and lose her combat effectiveness.

The overheating of the cyber intrusion prosthesis quickly took effect, and several members of the special service team had difficulty aiming and were unable to effectively use the operating system to control their body movements.

And the two-ponytail girl took advantage of this time to counterattack, holding the green-shelled machine gun and launching a crazy charge alone in the rain of bullets.

Mann hurriedly helped the wounded Dolio to lie down, and before he could ask questions, he took the crane gun and continued the fight.

Now we are at a critical juncture, and everything must wait until the people of Arasaka are completely resolved.

But after the well-trained Arasaka special service team stormed the workshop, they also quickly looked for cover for fire cover.

The girl with two ponytails charged wildly, and was immediately pulled back by her brother Pyrrha risking her life to seize the throne.

In order to cover herself, Pyra throws several EMP grenades into the air, which can temporarily disable the electronic prosthetic within a certain range.

The Arasaka Special Service team lost its prosthetic support, and its powerful firepower stalled.

"Request for drone support"

What made Mann and the others even more critical was that a series of Arasaka armed drones flew in from outside the workshop and launched a death charge attack on them from a high place.

Mann had to free his hands to deal with the four drones on his head, but as soon as he knocked down one drone, the other three had already launched fire.

The forced crowd had to move around the workshop to avoid the attack, and it was difficult for them to hold on like this.

Mann is completely out of options, and if the team wants to survive the Arasaka attack, he has to call that person.

At a time of great crisis.

The fire attack of the Arasaka special service team suddenly stopped.

Immediately after that, more intense artillery fire and radio warnings suddenly sounded outside the workshop.

"Military technology is performing a special mission, and unrelated people and others will be evacuated from the scene immediately"

Mann scolded: "Grass, military technology has finally struck"

At this time.

Tang Yu and Jack, who were watching the battle from a distance outside the workshop, witnessed the whole process of the Mann team's deal with the Uzumaki Gang and the Arasaka Company's special services.

Even from such a distance, you can see the ferocity of the firepower of both sides.

Jack said in surprise: "Don, your informant's combat effectiveness is indeed a bit capable, five people almost wiped out two Arasaka special service teams, and the strength is very strong!" ”

Tang Yu also nodded in agreement, originally wanted to distinguish Mann's strength through this transaction, and now it seems that Mann does have the ability to become a legend.

Anyone who becomes a legend in Night City must pass the test of Arasaka, and at least fight Arasaka to prove that you have the courage to fight against the company.

Even if this behavior may seem reckless, it is an indispensable part of the road to becoming a legend.

Suddenly.

Tang Yu noticed that Youdao's figure was running quickly in their direction, and through the scan, he could see that it was a member of the Vortex Gang.

Jack pointed to Dumdum who had escaped from the secret passage: "Don, look, there's a fish that slipped through the net, and there's something in his hand, it can't be that transaction, right?" ”

Tang Yu smiled: "That kid is the little leader of the Vortex Gang, Dumdom, a guy who grew up in a mourning den and has never seen the outside world."

Tang Yu took Jack without saying a word, and jumped several steps directly from the container and landed on the road that Dumdum had to escape.

"Dumdom, long time no see"

Dumdum looked back to see if anyone was chasing him as he fled, but he didn't notice that two people suddenly jumped out in front of him, blocking his escape.

He protected the safe with one hand, picked up the gun with the other and pointed it at the two, his red prosthetic eyes flashed with a faint light: "Who are you?" Knowing that I'm Domdom of the Vortex Gang, don't get out of the way! ”

Tang Yu knew this kid before, and knew that he was a ruthless coward on the outside and soft on the inside, and he really slipped away faster than anyone else: "Put down the safe, at least you can leave a complete head to go back"

Dumdum saw that the gun in Tang Yu's hand was Arasaka Kenshin, so he asked gloomily, "Are you from Arasaka, ambushing me here?" ”

Just as Dumdum was at a stalemate, there was another sound of embarrassed footsteps behind him.

"Royce?"

Dumdum turned around and found that it was Royce with a prosthetic body sunken half of his face.

Royce's front door was hit hard, and his vision was blurred and rippled, and he saw that there seemed to be three people blocking the way in front of him.

Just as he raised his gun to shoot, he heard Dumdom's voice, and turned his gun to threaten Jack, who was getting closer.

"Give it to Lao Tzu..."

Bang!

Tang Yu shot Royce in the head with a single hand of Qianxin, and as a result, this Vortex Gang Hero was guilty of a lifetime.

Tang Yu didn't remember much about him, and probably had the impression that except for the first half of Royce's prosthetic metal electronic face, the rest were all anti-bones.

He took advantage of the fact that the boss Brick went out to work, rebelled directly and sat on the top spot, and captured Brick alive and locked up in a whole food processing factory to starve to death.

For this kind of garbage, Tang Yu doesn't have time to listen to nonsense.

Dumdum on the side was suppressed by Tang Yu's ruthless methods, and watched it back and forth several times.

Look at the headless body of Royce who fell to the ground, and then look at Tang Yu who shot decisively.

"Do you know he's Royce of the Vortex Gang, if you kill him, Brick will never let you go!"

Dumdum tried to emphasize as boldly as he could, but his tone was clearly lacking in momentum.

"Even if you're from Arasaka Corporation..."

Tang Yu didn't have any feelings for Dumdum, mainly because this guy was more fun, and he had made a few deals from him, so he said a few more words.

"You put down your things and go back to bring a message to your boss Brick, it's Royce's old thief who doesn't follow the rules first, anyway, Brick's fishing can't stop him, Arasaka is kind enough to clean up the internal trouble for him"

Jack saw that the gun in Dumdum's hand had slowly fallen, but the person was still stunned, so he walked up and grabbed the safe in his hand and kicked it hard.

"Why don't you hurry up and let you take the words back and hear them?"

Dumdum was kicked by Jack and staggered a few steps, and then crawled away.

Staring at the whirlpool to help Domdom run without a trace, Jack picked up the safe and looked at it, and found that it had a combination lock.

"Brother, there is a combination lock, I don't know if the prosthesis is inside, why don't you just shoot it open?"

Tang Yu felt that Jack's idea was good, simple and rude, and was just about to open his mouth to agree, but he heard a cold voice behind him.

"The password is 1003"

Jack immediately turned the muzzle of the gun aimed at the safe to aim at the comer.

Tang Yu also looked sideways and found that it was an old acquaintance, the silver-haired girl in the carriage thief, the alternate hacker of the Mann team, and the secret cyberpunk.

Lucy.

I saw the cold moonlight.

Her silver hair faded to an icy blue and light pink hue.

The neon pupils with a blue and purple background are still like a lonely and cold pool, revealing that no one should enter.

But judging from the hot sweat and panting on her forehead, she must have rushed here in a hurry to intercept the safe.

Unexpectedly, the safe has fallen into Jack's hands.

After Tang Yu saw that it was Lucy, he asked Jack to put down the old guy in his hand: "It's my own person"

Seeing that Tang Yu recognized herself, Lucy said quickly in a somewhat anxious tone: "Mann, they are surrounded by people with military technology."

Military technology has come to an end, and the whole layout has come to an end.

Tang Yu was just about to finish: "Jack, give him the safe, we will meet the people of military technology in the past"

Although Jack didn't know who the other party was at all, he still threw the safe over, and he also trusted the people Tang Yu trusted.

Lucy took the safe, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes inadvertently, as if she was a little surprised that Tang Yu would throw the safe to herself so simply, and would agree to rescue Mann and the others who were in the siege.

She clenched the golden-sharp monomolecular thread in her hand.

In her opinion, there is no guy in the company who does not stab in the back, so cyberpunks need to find a middleman.

Even if you know that the real boss behind it is still the company, you can only pretend that you don't know anything, just complete the task, and try to minimize the head-on relationship with the company.

Judging from the current situation, almost all the development directions are in favor of Tang Yu.

The company's internal competitors have been crushed by military technology, the prosthetic safe has been reached, and the data on the human body operation of the cyber madman James is at his fingertips.

As long as Tang Yu moved his thoughts, he could even kill all the people present who participated in this mission, including herself.

In this way, Tang Yu will be able to completely complete a perfect task and go back to ask for credit from Arasaka Company.

This is almost a perfect curtain call for Tang Yu.

Then.

Lucy held her suitcase and looked up to see a luxury floating car slowly coming to a halt overhead.

Then the floating car door opened automatically, and Tang Yu took Jack to get up and walk into the inside of the floating car.

Tang Yu walked into the car and just sat down, but turned his head to find that Lucy was still standing in place.

Jack asked, "Since it's your own person, do you want to call her along?" ”

Tang Yu knew that Lucy didn't want to deal with people in the company, so he didn't call her to get in the car just now.

However, after Jack's reminder, it seems that it is difficult for others to understand the specific situation of the site except for himself.

Because military technology has completely blocked the surroundings of the workshop, ordinary people can't get close at all, but Tang Yu has his own hole cards.

Tang Yu beckoned to Lucy, who was standing in place: "If you want to see Mann, they will follow up on the spot."

originally thought that she would agree, but Lucy just replied: "Wait for your good news"

After saying that, he turned to leave, and the white figure disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Seeing that Tang Yu's own person was so vigilant, Jack shrugged and said.

"It seems that she is very wary of you, and she has a deep preconception, probably because she thinks that there is no good person in the company"

"But today, without your Arasaka company identity, I am afraid it is impossible to solve it peacefully"

Tang Yu directly ordered the smart housekeeper to close the car door, and then took off and drove towards the abandoned factory workshop.

"It can only be said that everyone has their own past, and who to believe or not to believe in Night City is your own choice"

Jack said with a smile: "Hermano, I believe you 100%, but now you want to say that we are driving this luxury old artillery truck to rob people in the hands of military technology, is it a little too underestimate their armored guns, it is estimated that we will all go to the sky with one shot!" ”

"Who said it's just the two of us, I still have a team of bodyguards," Tang Yu said and looked out the window.

Jack was curious to see through the left floating window glass that a Arasaka Company armed floating vehicle was slowly joining them, and then looked at the right window, and there was also an Arasaka Company armed floating car flying with them.

Jack's eyes were full of excitement, and he said with some excitement: "Hermano, I used to hate the company, but now the company is my bodyguard, what's the matter with suddenly feeling a little cool?" ”

Tang Yu didn't care: "As long as you are powerful in the company, even Adam's hammer can be called around, not to mention these Arasaka elite squads"

This is the power that Jenkins used his old connections to lend to Tang Yu, and it would be a waste if he didn't use it.

Two Arasaka armed floating vehicles, a reorganized Arasaka elite squad, this kind of combat power can almost start a small war.

It represents armed security, one of the three pillars of Arasaka's business, and the embodiment of the highest strength.

The elite squad, as the final trump card, is enough to shake the field.

When he slashed into the Arasaka Tower, one of the most troublesome obstacles was these elite squads guarding the Arasaka Tower.

What's more, what Tang Yu wants to do is not to start a war with Meredith, but to catch up with the old and catch a few people by the way.

He believed that for the sake of his own face, Aunt Mei would not disagree.

Things have developed to this point, and Tang Yu thinks that his old boss Jenkins does have some strength.

Without this foreign reinforcement, he and Jack would have to face up to military technology.

It is impossible to fight.

can only rely on Tang Yu to talk to Meredith to discuss, but without the armed strength to support him, it is inevitable that his waist is not strong.

Tang Yu thought about it carefully, before his strength was not strong enough, the universal skin of the company dog still had to continue to make good use of it.

As the floating convoy approached its destination.

Tang Yu could already see that the military technology led by Meredith below had taken control of the scene and wiped out the Arasaka Special Service team.

Mann: Their situation is dire.
