Chapter 129: Freedom
Late at night.
Company Square.
At the rock concert of the martial arts band, neon lights and shadows flickered around, and the music wave overshadowed for a while.
Kerry's selfless roar and strong electronic fingering skills completely ignited the atmosphere of the audience to the peak.
Everyone was enthusiastic, stretching out their index fingers and little fingers, holding up metal salutes, and constantly shouting and cheering, bound to release all the suppressed emotions in their hearts.
Kerry felt more and more the flames rising in his chest, and they had reached the extreme.
He had never been so angry, excited, selfless, and emotional as he was today.
This is a stage that belongs to him alone, a crazy rock of one person.
But Kerry knew that everyone in the Warrior Band had given him strength.
He looked around the stage.
Gradually.
Kerry sees.
Nancy, the keyboardist, returned, standing to his right, with ten fingers and playing the electronic keyboard.
Danny, the drummer, is back and sits behind him, turning into a popping drummer, two beating sticks frantically beating the drum kit.
Henry, the bassist, returned, standing to his left, sweeping out bursts of bass current.
Finally, Kerry couldn't help but look at the middle of the stage, the man with silver arms, standing in front of him.
The man was still cool and wild, with a smoky voice, and he was wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night, looking at him half-back and saying.
"Kerry, we will never die."
Kerry raised his proud head, his eyes full of anger and roared wildly, singing "We will never die"!
“We'll,never,fade,away!“ ”
“We'll,never,fade,away!!”
“We'll,never,fade,away!!!”
“Yeah!!!”
Accompanied by Kerry's chanting, a dazzling electric light instantly illuminated the entire company square.
Boom!!!
A burst of brilliant electric fireworks burst out over the square, instantly attracting the attention of countless people present.
Everyone present looked up at the fireworks, the fireworks that rose from the company building, and the fireworks of different colors.
Quiescence!
Deathly silence.
Suddenly, the audience fell silent.
The pin drop can be heard.
To everyone's surprise, the biotechnology building was pierced by a powerful electric current.
The entire building instantly turned into a dazzling white light bulb, illuminating every corner of the Sifang Company Square.
This was followed by a large-scale high-voltage short circuit, sparks exploded one floor after another, and the glass shattered.
Eventually, the fireworks climbed to the top, lighting up the skies over Night City.
It's so fascinating, so bright.
Everyone was witnessing this moment, and everyone was silent.
Rock, company, high-rise buildings, electric light, fireworks, one after another deflagrated nodes, like a whip, ignited the most shocking scene of the concert.
After a few seconds.
When a major electrical circuit burned at a biotechnology company, the entire building immediately went into an emergency state with red emergency backup lights on.
The pitch-black building instantly turned into a red tower, flashing with eerie mechanical alarms.
At this time.
Everyone in the concert position looked at the biotechnology building and immediately reacted, this time it was the biotechnology company that won the lottery.
The shouts of the mountains and tsunamis rose again, and on the five-story disc, a dense crowd rushed towards the biotechnology building.
NCPD officers and the blockade could not stop anyone at all, so they could only let this torrent rush to the biotechnology building.
Kerry watched the biotechnology building, which was as bright as day, bursting into fireworks, and then seeing it plunged into darkness.
He was so shocked that his mind was tingling.
I saw countless audiences in the audience, whether they were old guns or young men, rushing towards the building like a tsunami at this moment.
Kerry seems to have realized that this is the soul of the Warrior Band.
Rock 'n' roll is not riot, not destruction, not disorder, not wildness.
It's a rebellion.
It's a struggle.
A kind of courage and romance that turns into a fire without hesitation, burning the enemy, burning the company, and burning all oppression.
Kerry no longer hesitated, picked up the tomahawk guitar again, and played it frantically.
Cheer for the crowd, cheer for courage, cheer for yourself, and let this fire burn more and more fiercely, and never die!
The sudden, large-scale high-voltage short circuit in the biotechnology building even caused fluctuations in the surrounding circuits.
The power supply of the office buildings of major companies has an unstable voltage, and the lighting is dark and bright.
Fortunately, with the complete shutdown of the biotechnology building, the surrounding power supply was restored to normal.
But the big drama in the company square has just been staged.
Serious traffic congestion began to occur at various traffic entrances of the company square, and some modified off-road vehicles occupied multiple lanes and stopped on the road for some reason.
The tribal wanderers, dressed in shabby denim clothes, stepped out of the car and began to push and insult each other, as if they were guilty of angry road syndrome, and put on a posture that never stopped.
"Why are you driving? Blind? ”
"What are you talking about when you step on a horse, Lao Tzu is just hitting you, there is a kind of you hitting Lao Tzu."
"Grass, him!"
At various intersections, the wanderers picked up sticks, wine bottles and other guys, and 'beat up' on the side of the road, no matter how long the queue was blocked behind, and the lane was chaotic.
Backbite! Backbite! Backbite!!!
The car owners, who did not know the situation ahead, anxiously honked their horns and cursed loudly.
"Made! Can you move the car to Lao Tzu first! ”
As soon as the words fell.
A hammer flew over and smashed into the glass of his car, and it was impossible to see who threw it.
The scene was suddenly chaotic.
Hundreds of Rangers' modified off-road vehicles, according to the established plan, almost blocked the main roads in the company square.
Thousands of homeless people are fighting in the streets, and the 'fighting' in the streets is in full swing.
Time.
A frenzied atmosphere permeated the square, as if it had been completely plunged into a riot.
Meanwhile.
Many audience members rushed out of the concert and rushed to the biotechnology building, picking up bottles full of gasoline along the way.
The crowd rushed downstairs, lit the gasoline bottle in their hands, and threw it at the biotechnology building.
A security robot in the biotechnology building, standing in front of the main entrance of the building, has a mechanical sound warning.
"Warning! Please stop the attack immediately, otherwise"
The words are not finished yet.
One after another, the flaming gasoline bottles smashed into the robot's head, instantly igniting an oily flame.
Surrounded by the temperature of the fiery oil, the Kangtao robots fell one after another.
People frantically threw their bottles into the air, and the fire gradually spread upwards from the second floor of the building.
"Grass Nyima's company dog, burn the guys, hahaha!!"
"Stupid * company, I really deserve to step on the horse, and I burn it well!!"
"Burn, burn, it's really exciting!"
"Oh ho! Oh ho! Oh ho! Burn it up! ”
"It's enjoyable, burn him for three days and three nights!"
Oily smoke and flames spread upwards from the ground floor of the biotechnology building.
Someone even took the opportunity to remotely unlock the company's emergency access control, and the iron gate of the main gate automatically slid open to both sides.
"Brothers, get the fire inside, rush!"
"Grass! Burn it well, I won't have to go to work tomorrow, burn it for you! ”
"Hahaha, burn this stupid*!"
Countless people frantically threw out the gasoline bottles in their hands, and the fire spread to the inside of the building.
Everyone vented their anger in their hearts and vented their anger against the company.
They already knew what the biotech company was doing, how many soldiers who had retired from the battlefield had been killed, and how many tribal wanderers had been killed.
Everyone is full of resentment, and the biotech companies are bound to pay a terrible price.
Among them, there are soldiers who have retired from the battlefield, beggars who live on the streets, homeless people who have come from outside the city, and young people who are full of hatred for the company.
They all know that if they don't take advantage of this opportunity, they may not have a chance to burn the company again in the future.
The power outage in the biotech building is a clarion call for a charge, and no one can stop this torrent of righteous indignation.
The fire became more and more intense, and the feelings of the crowd became more and more intense.
The NCPD officers looked at each other helplessly at the chaotic scene.
With their current strength, they are really powerless in the face of a large and emotionally agitated crowd.
The director of the NCPD has given an order not to use heat on a crowd without encountering a situation of firearms from a gun.
Even if they were given permission to shoot, no one would really be stupid enough to shoot a bunch of rock and roll maniacs unless they wanted to die in the line of duty.
There were no gunshots, just shouts and flames, and the manic rock music.
NCPD officers at the scene could only continue to call for reinforcements, but the reinforcement vehicles could not reach the scene at all, and they were all blocked on the road and could not enter the disc hub.
As a result, the NCPD police force on the scene was seriously scarce, and even most of the police officers gave up maintaining order and stood aside to laugh and watch the excitement.
Burning companies, NCPD officers said, is also quite interesting, such work is rare.
In the midst of the riots.
Kangtao's security robot power can no longer resist this powerful torrent of power, and it is either burned by fuel or the control system is paralyzed by hacking.
This shows that some unknown powerful hackers are also mixed in the crowd, taking the opportunity to hack into the Kangtao robot system and wreak havoc.
Soon.
Several emergency floating vehicles from biotechnology arrived over the company building and began spraying dust in an attempt to extinguish the fire and disperse the crowd.
"Please stop invading the company immediately, otherwise biotechnology will be strictly investigated to the end!"
Biotechnology does not dare to use firearms of mass destruction, and if a fire is fired, it may cause even greater conflicts and riots.
The only way to do this is to take soft evictions and try to keep the situation as low as possible.
The company has never treated the people at the bottom as people, but no one in the company wants to be the first bird.
Just like when the Arasaka company made the most trouble, he was finally taught to be a man by a nuclear bomb, and it took fifty years to catch his breath.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for biotech executives.
Soon.
The dust sprayed by the biotechnology float took effect, the fuel flame began to weaken, and many people's eyes were filled with smoke and dust, and their vision was blurred in an instant.
The rioters saw that the fire was suppressed by smoke and dust, and the oil fire in the inner hall of the building was also controlled by emergency fire.
So, someone else began to raise their arms and shout.
"Rush in, let's rush in, grab whatever you have!"
"That's right, if you can't burn it, you'll smash him!"
"Rush to rush, rob him!"
In the chaos, the crowd rushed into the biotechnology building with dust and smoke in the air.
Only by entering the interior of the building can you avoid dust interference.
The rioting crowd didn't have time to pat the dust on their shoulders, and directly began to break down layers of security prohibitions, and the tables, chairs and benches began to play freely, and when they saw the host, they began to smash them, and when they saw the server, they began to burn.
A large crowd of people was charging towards the building, and the Kangtao security robots on the floor were directly defeated.
Outside the square.
There were even some crazy guys who rushed to the Arasaka Tower frantically, but before they could get closer, they were quickly captured and subdued by the Arasaka security bodyguards.
There were also some frantic crowds that rushed directly to the NCPD officers, trying to take advantage of the chaos to seize their guns.
The NCPD officer immediately pulled out his stun gun and began shooting at the lunatics who rushed up.
But one fell, and there was still a large area, which could not be managed at all, and the situation was completely out of control.
The NCPD officers shrank their lines and gradually gathered around the convoy, which was able to save themselves.
Tens of thousands of people are probably already involved in this riot, and the NCPD police force is only a few hundred, which is a drop in the bucket.
NCPD Senior Inspector Stens, who was stationed at the scene, was standing on the roof of the car and watching the situation in the square, and couldn't help frowning and showing a sad face.
There were so many people involved in the riot that he saw quite a few Heywood kids, Valentino's gang members, and even the old bones of the Six Street Gang.
How did they burn the company today, and they all abandoned their old hatreds one by one.
Stings caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, Jack Wells, the big Haywood boy who was carrying boxes of gasoline bottles and rushing to the biotechnology building in the crowd, smiling more than anyone else.
He sighed helplessly, a little worried that today's concert would be like this, the situation was completely out of control, and he was afraid that he would be punished when he went back.
Stings asked all police officers present not to violate the rules, and tried to maintain order on the premise of protecting their own safety.
Of course, he also knows that maintaining a yarn.
Stings sat back in the NCPD armored car, picked up the pager and began calling the NCPD Center headquarters building.
He wanted to ask for reinforcements and directly send a violent terrorist mobile team to deter and deal with it.
Otherwise, the entire biotechnology building would be burned to the ground.
But the NCPD director was not in the office, and Stings had no choice but to hang up the communication.
Today's directive from the Director General is that there must be no active shooting, and no terrorist mobile teams must be mobilized to suppress the scene.
Stings also knew that this was done to prevent a bigger riot, but now the riot scene is out of control.
As the NCPD's watchman, the Terrorist Task Force is only responsible for dealing with cybermaniacs who pose a serious threat.
Although Stings is a senior sheriff, he does not have the authority to mobilize this powerful force.
He began to realize that something was wrong, and the rumors of such a big event as Kerry's concert and the opportunity of the forces to riot were all over the place.
Why did the NCPD do nothing, but symbolically sent a hundred or so police officers to maintain order, and strictly prohibited the use of firepower.
I really don't want to care about this mess, I can find a safer and more secure way, that is, I directly suggest canceling the martial arts band concert.
Stings, who had worked at NCPD for many years, was keenly aware of the frustration and looked out the window at the biotechnology building.
The chaos in the company square continues to escalate and intensify.
At this time.
In a factory park, under a large container, the sound of extravagance is being heard.
On the wall of the room, a curvy shadow was writhing vigorously, and the three spiral deep prosthetics were turning rapidly.
“*!!!”
A loud scolding suddenly came from the room, and the three of them were defeated, and they immediately collapsed on the sofa.
They took a big breath and then took off the Mewtwo ring from their heads.
Lucius Lane lifted his fat foot and kicked the watch between the two with a hard kick, and then showed a look of pleasure.
"This time, Hei Chaomeng is really energetic, his limbs are tied, and then he is shocked, and every ** in his body, especially **, is baked and burnt, happy! It's a pleasure! ”
The man on the left hand side chimed in: "The black super dream made by this kid is really good, the problem is that people are too ugly, and their figure is not good, next time let him pick a girl from Genting, don't keep up some rotten things on the street." ”
Lucius Lane agreed, closing his eyes and slumping down on the couch like a puddle of mud.
"Well, this can be there, I don't think Mox's little girls are quite suitable."
"The Tiger Claw Gang is also a soft bastard, the girls in the past had a riot, and the group of cherry blossom guys admitted it, it's really a waste."
Hearing this, the man on the right asked, "Are you sure you won't go to see the riot tonight?" I've given a death order, NCPD officers are not allowed to shoot, I'm afraid the situation can't be controlled, there will be a lot of news tomorrow, you are going to participate in the election recently, this is a very negative factor. I knew that I wouldn't be allowed to hold any concerts in the first place, and the riots wouldn't have been able to happen. ”
Lucius Lane looked at the director of the NCPD, smiled confidently on his fat face, and said bluntly.
"Hehe, I can only say that you don't understand Night City too much, and you don't understand what these bottoms are thinking."
"It's because the election is approaching that I didn't want to stop Kerry's kid from the beginning."
"And the bigger this riot is, the better, so that it will be good for me."
Hoult next to him was a little puzzled, he had recently assisted Lucius Lane in his campaign, so he asked, "What's the saying here?" ”
Lucius Lane closed his eyes and explained in a smug tone.
"Night City is known as the City of Freedom, and it is not even allowed to hold a concert or burn a company, and it is also called a Freedom City of Yarn."
"Hahaha"
The three of them burst out laughing.
Lucius Lane continued: "Now everyone is holding their breath in their hearts, if you don't let him vent, he will feel unhappy, and he will have to find a place to target. ”
"I'm sitting on the top spot now, everyone in Night City can scold me, if I don't let Kerry do this concert, I guess I won't even be able to cheat the tickets of these old men."
"In addition, riots are both a risk and an opportunity, and it depends on how you take advantage of them."
"In my opinion, the riots just prove that Night City is free, and I am a mayor who defends freedom."
"Tomorrow, not only will no one be held responsible, but we will also make some sweetness for them, such as getting a veterans' disability support program, a homeless food and clothing plan, and draw a big pie to hang up."
"There will be another press conference to hold biotechnology accountable, and let them arrange a high-level executive with a bit of a card to come out and publicly apologize."
"Isn't it just a matter of burning a dilapidated building, and biotechnology still lacks this money?"
"And biotechnology has a handle on military technology, Joanne Coch's business, a bunch of dirty secrets."
"In addition, the outdated rock kid Kerry is not so active, and there are people from Arasaka coming forward in this concert, it may be Arasaka Lai Xuan's line, which is not very clear at present."
"So use your brains, this concert, this riot, can't be stopped in any way, then just let them burn enough."
"Just like us, it's easy to say anything, isn't it?"
With that, the three of them burst out laughing again.
"Hahaha"
Hult praised repeatedly: "This trick is high, it's really not bad, that Jefferson is still shouting about freedom and rights all day long, we can also shout." ”
Lucius Lane laughed, "That's why I'm positive, and you're just a deputy." ”
He thought of his rival Jefferson, who, with his handsome appearance and loud slogans of freedom, had recently soared in popularity and became the biggest threat in the campaign.
Lucius Lane said disdainfully, "Jefferson is just a vase, and soon he will plant someone else's flower in his head, heh." ”
I read it later and I can get a chapter.
