Company Square.

Located in the heart of Night City, it is a globally renowned landmark.

The Company Square, which was rebuilt on the site after the Fourth Corporate War, is home to some of the world's most famous supergiants.

Countless legends were born here in the past, and they are still talked about today.

Today, the company square is based on a five-layer three-dimensional composite disc to develop and build a super hub that integrates transportation, landscape, park and commerce.

At the same time, the land disk expands one floor underground, forming a total of six floors of the disk core building.

The top layer of the disc is inlaid with the famous 'Eye of the City', which is a large grid of load-bearing glass.

With the disc as the center, there are several supergiant company buildings, and directly opposite them are the Arasaka Tower and the Military Science and Technology Building.

On the left and right sides are located giant enterprises such as Peizhuo Petrochemical, Kangtao, and Biotechnology.

Two holographic fish, one blue and one gold, wander on the giant disc day and night.

Right now.

Between the fourth and fifth floors of the company square, there are gradually many pedestrians gathering.

They all stood on the square disc and watched the giant projections, which were the posters for Kerry's concert.

What caught their attention the most was one of the ghost fire masks of the Warrior Band.

Several NCPD fat-bellied officers were guarding the perimeter of the field, pulling up a cursor cordon to try to disperse the crowd and prevent them from congregating.

But now that the concert stage is still being built, there are already so many people, which somewhat exceeds their expectations.

However, NCPD police officers do not receive much subsidy when they go out in the field, and as for these gatherings, as long as they blatantly make trouble, they will only turn a blind eye.

At this time.

In the high-rise office of the Military Science and Technology Building, Meredith is holding a cigarette in one hand, overlooking the situation on the company square.

She has also heard a lot of rumors recently, and she has a premonition that something big is going to happen in the company square, and as for who the spearhead is pointed at, she has to wait.

Cleo Deen, a former member of the Martial Arts Band, was going to hold a concert in the company square, and the announcement was in full swing, and even many old things from the Six Street Gang came forward to support it.

In addition, there is a grapevine that someone wants to take the opportunity to start a riot against the company, and even the lucky wheel has been opened, betting on which company will win the lottery.

Meredith discovered that some Six Street Gang veterans were still secretly discussing biotechnology.

She realized that there might be some kind of connection between these things, and today, it feels even stronger.

Fortunately, this riot is most likely not aimed at military technology, she just sent people to monitor the situation in order to respond to all changes.

Riots, concerts, biotechnology, what the connection is, or who is pulling the line, she wants to figure out.

Meredith looked up at the Arasaka Tower on the other side inexplicably, remembering the man.

"It can't be you, right?"

In fact, Meredith's intuition told her that this matter might have something to do with Tang Yu.

But I can't figure out what Kerry's concert has to do with Tang Yu, no matter how you look at it, the two of them are people who can't be beaten.

If she wanted to confirm this suspicion further, she had to arrange for her men to investigate it carefully.

"Looks like there's another show tonight."

Meanwhile.

Tang Yu is standing on the high-rise of the Arasaka Tower, overlooking the company square through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling electronic window screen.

Sasha was standing obediently behind him, equally curious about what was happening in the company square.

Kerry's concert stage has begun to be built, all kinds of equipment are being delivered, the scene is stable, and many people gather to watch in advance.

Tang Yu has already received information from the agents, and all major companies have prepared some forces to prevent riots tonight, but the biggest action is the biotechnology company.

Biotech is under martial law in the whole building tonight, all employees leave the venue, start remote work, and at the same time strengthen the intelligent security of Kangtao, each floor is equipped with security robots, the number has increased to three times the usual.

In order to prevent people from carrying dangerous goods into and out of the building, they strictly scan the identities of people entering and leaving the building, and strictly check the items they carry.

At the same time, a comprehensive security inspection of the building is carried out to prevent security breaches.

Tang Yu understood that this was the rumor that had been released, and biotechnology had learned through various channels that there were forces secretly spreading the dirty things they had done.

Coupled with the growing rumors of this riot, biotechnology is also worried that someone will take the opportunity to do something.

However, Tang Yu didn't care about the preparations made by biotechnology, because the real danger was not in the building, and even if he checked the head, he couldn't find out why.

In addition, the storage pulse device is gradually charged, and the trace current changes are within the safe range, which does not attract attention at all.

Tonight, the biotechnology building will surely become the most dazzling fireworks.

In addition to Tang Yu, there are many people in the Counterintelligence Department who are paying attention to the situation tonight.

In the office area of the Counterintelligence Department, all kinds of gossip and gossip are flying all over the sky.

As a dense exchange center for Arasaka's intelligence, any rumor of Night City spreads and amplifies here infinitely.

Several bombshells fell one after another today, making it completely impossible for the staff of the Counterintelligence Department to work with peace of mind.

David Martinez is even more so, sitting in his office can't calm down at all.

After working for a while, he has initially integrated into the atmosphere of the office area, and although he does not provide any valuable information, he is a suitable listener.

Every time his colleagues talked about it, David would show a very serious and surprised look, which greatly satisfied their desire to perform.

In addition, David is usually tight-lipped, hard-working and knows how to measure, so he is naturally favored by his sisters and aunts.

Especially the blonde beauty in the workplace, every time she sees David's youthful appearance, she can't help but tease him twice.

David was surprised that Tang Yu actually came to work today, and what he didn't expect was that there was a beautiful female assistant by his side.

He immediately noticed a strange change in the atmosphere of the office area, which seemed to have an inexplicable sour taste.

David guessed that Minister Tang, who had always been a loner, suddenly had a delicate and beautiful female assistant next to him, which would make people feel a little lost.

David pretended to be ignorant, listening to the gossip of several female colleagues, but remained silent.

Colleague Sister Amorous, a pair of black socks and long legs stacked, said mysteriously: "There are so many good shows today, Kerry has a concert, there are forces that want to take the opportunity to riot, and the black market has begun to bet on which company will win the lottery." ”

The short-haired cool sister next to her was a little incredulous: "No, why is there no movement at all in such a big wind company, how can this concert still get out of the way." ”

Sister Feng looked like you didn't understand, and analyzed in a low voice: "Because someone is pushing behind, someone is putting a line to fish, and someone is watching the show." ”

The short-haired cool sister suddenly understood, and muttered: "No wonder Boss Tang went back to work today, probably because he was worried about the concert chaos." ”

Sister Feng nodded and said: "That's the case, but the riot is just a rumor, whether it will happen or not, you have to hold a concert to know." ”

"It's been so many years, and those people who listen to the songs of the martial arts band are afraid that half of their feet are buried in the soil, maybe it's just a carnival of old guys."

David heard it in a fog, Tang Yu's return to work was related to the concert, and there were other forces that wanted to use the concert to set off a riot.

Today, the office area is very lively, and all kinds of news are spreading everywhere.

David summed up the rumors he had heard.

The first one that was most discussed was that Tang Yuxin arranged a strange beautiful assistant, and the gossip index was directly full of stars.

David suddenly remembered that Gloria seemed to have asked him if the top management of the Arasaka company had an assistant secretary.

But he didn't think much about it, just asked more if she was curious.

The second is about the movement of the concert, there are many theories, but there is basically no basis.

This time Kerry's concert was jointly checked by the city hall, NCPD and other departments, and there was no problem.

If there is really a riot, it is also someone else who is taking the opportunity to make trouble, trying to rub off on the popularity of the martial arts band.

Now the major companies in the company square have certain actions and are under martial law.

David has been listening to the chatter of his colleagues, and after finishing the errand at hand, he took advantage of the dinner to have the opportunity to walk out of the Arasaka Tower and come to the company square disc hub.

As the minutes ticked by, the sky began to darken.

He looked at the scene of the singing stage and saw the poster of the martial arts band, feeling a little familiar and very unfamiliar.

The stage position was basically set up, and a large amount of wine was constantly being carried inside, which was supplied to the audience for free.

These things were really too far away from him, and he was not quite sure that crazy rock 'n' roll could really set off a riot.

It is important to know that after the redevelopment of the company square, it has been listed as the safest area by the NCPD, and it is a key protected place.

On top of the hub disc, some NCPD officers were already on the scene to maintain order.

Suddenly, David saw from a distance that groups of people were walking towards the concert site.

Most of them have gray hair, stubbled beards, jeans, and silver prosthetic limbs, either prosthetic arms, or prosthetic thighs.

There are even men who are limping on their feet, and they also follow the excitement and walk to the hub disc, and a steady stream of people gather towards the concert position.

Their presence immediately attracted attention, and NCPD officers began to come forward to inquire about the situation.

Those old guns were all flushed and full of alcohol, and said directly: "Lao Tzu is here to see the concert, the martial arts band, it's about you." ”

After saying that, he tried to run into the NCPD officer and go inside, but was still stopped outside.

NCPD officers began to call for reinforcements, but in the absence of a clear ban, they had no power to prevent others from watching the concert, so they could only complete identity verification and security checks, and then let them go after confirming that there was no problem.

In this way, although the veterans were not convinced, they still followed one by one to be scanned and checked, and entered the concert position after confirming that there was no problem.

After all, the NCPD has real guys in their hands, and this group of people is not ambiguous in their hands.

The stage has been set up, the colorful lights are dazzlingly lit, and the giant sound equipment is firing up, emitting a dull and impactful sound.

Many people who passed the inspection gathered on the platform to chat enthusiastically, laughing and twisting their clumsy bodies from time to time, and the atmosphere began to gradually become restless.

David found a phenomenon that most of the audience present were older, wearing old prosthetic bodies, and their faces were flushed due to perennial drinking.

He probably knows the origin of these people, they are basically retired soldiers, and it can be seen from the clothes alone that these people are not living well.

But they stood under the light and shadow posters of the martial arts band, gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and dancing freely.

Some are laughing and nostalgic for their youthful past, some are cursing the damn life, and some are keeping their mouths shut and drinking.

David couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the martial arts band was a thing of the past, and the fans who loved them were really old.

It's just that to his surprise, more and more people gathered in the square, and many young people also joined in the carnival position.

What David found interesting was that the crowd that came to Kerry's concert and the employees of the company who passed by formed two distinct lines.

One walks on the left and the other on the right, and it seems that there is a common tacit understanding between the two.

The street rock veterans look down on the company dogs, and the company employees disdain to be in their company, and their eyes are full of indifference.

As more and more veterans converged on the square, gradually, the fourth- and fifth-floor positions of the concert have become a little crowded.

The NCPD began to cordon off the concert position, not allowing the crowd to continue to pour into the position, but there were too many people to take care of it, and many people found an opportunity to rush in through the grass.

In order to control the scene, the NCPD began to invest more police officers to maintain order at the scene, and although the concert position was stabilized, the crowd on the periphery did gather more and more.

Many of them are already getting high, shaking their heads to the sound of subwoofers, and then getting drunk with beer.

The gradually manic crowd made many NCPD officers frown and cursed: "This day, I don't let people rest." ”

The night has completely enveloped the entire Night City, and the neon lights of the company square rush into the sky.

Seeing that it was not early, David turned around and returned to the office area of the Counterintelligence Department, but he didn't expect his colleagues to lie down by the window and look down.

It turned out that everyone was watching the concert scene, and he hurriedly found a vacant seat and continued to watch.

The major companies in the entire company square were brightly lit to watch this manic rock concert.

Only the biotechnology building is deserted, all employees have evacuated the building, and robots on the floor by floor patrol the designated area according to the instructions.

At this time.

With the concert position as the highest point, the five-story hub disc was pulled down on one side, and it was densely packed with people.

The crowd raised six gestures, whistled incessantly, shouted the name of the martial arts band, and shouted Kerry's name.

As the crowd chanted in unison, more and more people joined in, shouting.

"Kerry! Kerry!! Kerry!!! Kerry."

The cries rose higher and higher.

Amid the cries of the crowd, a golden floating car passed between the company buildings and reached the top of the disc hub, standing still.

This scene further stimulated the fiery atmosphere of the scene, and at the forefront of the stage position, countless people began to look forward to Kerry's appearance, and kept waving their hands into the air.

Eventually, under the shouts of the crowd, the floating car slowly lowered until it stopped on the stage.

It's late at night, but the enthusiasm in people's hearts has just been ignited.

The golden, luxurious door moved upwards, and Kerry, dressed in a silver scaly jacket and holding his favorite tomahawk electric guitar, slowly walked onto the stage.

Kerry looked at the crowds of spectators and couldn't help but feel the atmosphere of the year.

At that time, he was still a young man, wearing a blue patterned turban, and he followed behind Johnny, the big brother, and played as much as he wanted.

Now, he has become the last afterglow of Night City rock, and I believe that no one but him will hold such an outdated rock concert.

Kerry looked around and was alone.

But it doesn't matter.

He told himself that this concert, he believed that Johnny could see it, Nancy could see it, Danny could see it, and Henry could see it.

He believes.

Someday, the Warrior Band will be able to reunite again.

Kerry never imagined that there would really be so many people who still miss the Warrior Band.

Because today's track is a special performance of the martial arts band, there is no single album of his.

This is enough to show that so many old fans in the audience still miss the martial arts band and remember the rock youth they once had.

Kerry no longer hesitated, and with a wave of his big hand, a wave of electric music erupted.

Rub and rub!!

The chanting of the audience came to an abrupt end, and everyone seemed to be passed through by electricity, feeling the unique charm of rock and roll.

Kerry approached the microphone and looked up at the high-rise buildings in the company square, one after another, standing in front of him like giants.

He tried to understand how Johnny felt back then, what it was like to face a giant giant.

Oppression, fear, surrender, unshakable.

Looking down, indifferent, pitying, like ants.

Now a flame ignited in Kerry's heart.

The flames were spiraling out of control.

Johnny's arrogance and stubbornness are incomprehensible, and in the same way, his romance and fire are incomprehensible.

Rock 'n' roll is his blowing horn of battle while his weapon.

Turn my body into fire.

Let me go burn the city.

Burn all the towering buildings to ashes.

Let the flame that rises in the heart no longer be controlled.

Kerry withdrew his gaze, and at this moment he understood.

He wants to use rock, the spirit of the martial arts band, Johnny's romance, and his own performance to awaken the fire in everyone's hearts.

Let's do it together.

Burn the city to ashes

A huge wave of electric guitar rock roared out, and the sound cannon of the audience was in full swing.

The electronic music played by Kerry quickly shook the scalps of countless people at the scene, and the sound waves set off bursts of hair and ribbons flying.

The entire company square reverberated with this strong electric string.

Rhythmic and rhythmic drum beats, paired with low guitar electric sounds, make a bass boom.

Countless people began to dance back and forth with six gestures held high to the beat.

“Ca-can，you，feel，it！”

“Can，you，touch，it， get ready 'cause here we go”

“Ca-can you feel it？.”

Kerry is selfless in singing, and he wants to awaken the fire in the hearts of the audience with his singing.

Kerry played wildly, roaring, roaring.

The atmosphere of the audience was completely detonated, and countless people began to sway to the rhythm of Kerry.

Immerse yourself in the world of rock 'n' roll.

“ I'm，chippin' in！”

“Not，backing，down！”

“Never，backing，down！”

Yeah!!!

As the concert atmosphere advanced to its peak, countless people were attracted by Kerry's wonderful performance.

At this time.

One after another, modified off-road vehicles began to gather towards the company square, driving slowly at various traffic crossings.

Outside the concert venue, crates of wine bottles were lifted out and transported into the company plaza, where a fire was brewing in the biotechnology building.

Tang Yu stood in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoying Kerry's wonderful rock performance.

I have to admit that Kerry's performance did sing the soul of the martial arts band and the fire in his heart.

It's a pity that only Kerry appeared in the martial arts band this time.

Niu Bi is that the martial arts band only Kerry sang this time.

Hear this.

Tang Yu tilted his head slightly and asked Sasha beside him.

"Do you want to see a fireworks?"

Hearing the sudden question, Sasha hurriedly looked up at Tang Yu, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Pyrotechnics?

This is the company square, isn't all fireworks banned at today's concert?

Sasha was stunned for a moment, seemed to realize something, nodded slightly, and muttered.

"Fireworks. Sasha wants to see the fireworks. ”

Tang Yu gently raised his hand and stretched out his index finger, pointed not far away, and said indifferently.

"Look."

Sasha looked in the direction he was pointing, and a building was reflected in his pupils, the Biotech Company Building.

Suddenly.

A dazzling electric light burst out of the ground in an instant, piercing through the entire biotechnology building.

The building is lit up with white flashes that illuminate the entire company square.

Followed by.

At the top of the building, a dazzling electric spark exploded, and it exploded like fireworks in midair.

Biotech won the lottery.

It's not tonight, and I'm in a hurry just now. Good night Yanzu, I will report in the next chapter tomorrow.
