The ashes and smoke of the ruins of the hotel gradually dissipated.

The leader of the Animal Gang, the Savage King, slowly opened his eyes and found himself buried in the construction slag with a marble slab pressed against his chest.

What just happened?

She blinked vigorously with a blank expression on her face, trying to recover from her vertigo.

It seems that something as black as a big meteorite has smashed down, directly destroying most of the hotel.

The Savage King pushed away the rocks in front of him, kicked the debris with his two thick legs, and stood up from the ruins of the building, falling the debris and stones one after another.

Before she could clean the dust from her hair, a black steel figure came into view.

I saw a black mechanical warrior standing tall, with a circle of smashing pits under his feet, a pure black mechanical prosthetic body of stainless steel, and a ten-barrel turret mounted on his left shoulder, almost no traces of the original were visible, only half of the human brain was embedded in the cyber prosthesis.

What surprised the Savage King even more was that the other party's mechanical prosthetic leg was printed with the pattern of the Arasaka Company.

The Savage King quickly realized something.

Adam Hammer?

The whole body is highly transformed, and with the logo of the Arasaka Company, there is no second one in the entire Night City except him.

The Savage King didn't understand why Adam's hammer was here, and the Arasaka people who worked with her didn't tell her about it.

If it weren't for Adam's hammer falling from the sky and smashing up the Voodoo Hideout, their capture of the Barty Hotel would have been a foregone conclusion.

But now Adam's hammer fell out of thin air, trampling many of the Animal Gang brothers to death in the hotel, which made the Savage King angry.

As if sensing movement behind him, Adam Hammer turned around and found that in the ruins behind him, two people had risen up, who should have been swept down by the aftermath.

A reckless woman with a majestic figure like a brute bull and seems to have a bit of brute strength.

One in a cape jacket with nerve tubes tied behind his head should be a cyber hacker.

The two stood on each side, their eyes full of hostility.

Adam's hammer blood red eyes turned, and he began to scan the identity information of the two men.

In the human resources database stored by Arasaka, the results were quickly displayed.

The other parties are the leader of the Animal Gang, the Savage King, and the Voodoo Gang high-ranking Plaside.

Seeing that the two seemed to be strongly hostile, Kate said to Adam Hammer in order to avoid any further complications.

"Arrest her, Master Lai Xuan's task will be completed, don't worry about them."

Kate didn't want an accident at this time, after all, Tang Yu was not far from the neighborhood, and he might rush over at any time.

With the strength of Adam's hammer, he can quickly leave here with the target person, and no one can stop him at all.

Adam Hammer ignored Kate, but turned to face the two of them, his tone was extremely cold, not paying any attention to them, and casually said, "You are just a pile of rotten meat." ”

Apparently.

Adam Hammer didn't intend to stop there, the target was already within his control, and he could take it away whenever he wanted, but scenes like this are rare.

When the Savage King heard that Adam had humiliated himself in this way, he was furious, crouched down, picked up the sledgehammer from the ruins, raised it high, and threw it at the other side.

The Savage King was not slow, and in just a few steps, he jumped in front of Adam's hammer, and then smashed down with a hammer, aiming at half of Adam's hammer's head.

Adam's heavy hammer stood in place, immovable, and when the savage king smashed it with a hammer at close range, he suddenly stretched out the palm of his mechanical prosthetic body, and directly resisted the sledgehammer, and the huge force was instantly transmitted to the ground, and the pit under his feet was a little deeper.

What?!

The Savage King couldn't believe her eyes, it was the first time she had seen someone alive under her hammer, and what she didn't expect was that the other party had resisted the hammer attack.

Adam held the hammer firmly in his hand and said mechanically, "I told you, you're just a piece of rotten meat. ”

After speaking.

His mechanical right fist clenched into a steel fist and slammed into the Savage King's chest.

Boom!

There was a loud bang.

The Savage King's eyes widened, and the whole person flew out upside down, rolling on the pile of waste rocks, and a fist deep imprint was obviously sunken in his heart.

She felt her heartbeat stop in an instant, and the huge force penetrated through her entire chest and abdomen, and the strong muscles she was proud of were vulnerable to the opponent's heavy punches.

The Savage King wanted to struggle to get up and fight again, but he lost all his strength, and even the sledgehammer fell to the ground, and his limbs twitched due to heart disorder.

If it weren't for her rough skin and thick flesh, this punch would probably not be as simple as breaking a few sternums.

Adam Hammer raised his hand and turned on the powerful arm cannon to aim at the Savage King who had fallen to the ground, and was about to shoot her with a single shot, but Yu Guang noticed movement on the other side.

He turned his head to look the other side, and saw that it was the Voodoo gang Plaside who had dodged directly from the same place to a further distance, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to escape the scene.

Adam's hammer turned the muzzle of the gun, re-aimed at Plasid, and fired a shot.

Shout!

The cannonball burst out of its chamber and shot towards Plasid, exploding in an instant, and the flames soared into the sky.

When the smoke cleared, there was no sign of anyone in the same place.

Plaside appeared in another place as if teleporting, and continued to flee into the distance with difficult steps, while aiming his machine gun at Adam's hammer in an attempt to block the pursuit.

Click.

But the magazine was quickly swept away, and he found that he could not shake the opponent's armor at all, and realized that the situation was extremely bad.

He was just about to switch magazines when he noticed another missile coming at him, and immediately activated Sianweistan to teleport away, only to find that Adam's hammer had caught up with him in the process of moving.

Plasid looked horrified.

He implanted a high-end Sianweistein, which could withstand the load with a top-notch hacker cooling system.

But Adam's hammer had caught up with him without much effort, which meant that it was almost impossible for him to get out of here.

"The rat is out of the hole, but it's not so easy to get back." Adam Hammer followed Plasid's footsteps, his tone tinged with disdain.

Plaside forcibly resisted the heat and scorching heat brought by Sanwistan, and immediately activated the invasion protocol, and if he wanted to break Adam's hammer's ICE, he could only barely get a chance of survival by destroying the opponent's implants.

Adam's hammer was unmoved, and his brain was loaded with Arasaka's highest-level security ICE, and Plaside would not be able to break through it for a while.

When Plasid was distracted, Adam's hammer and machine gun were a shuttle, and one after another fire bullets shot out, sweeping Plaside to pieces, instantly turning into a corpse that was cut in half, and fell on the ruins under the action of inertia.

After Adam's hammer had finished Plasid, he stopped and put away his heavy machine gun.

In just a few rounds, the Animal Gang Savage King was seriously injured, and the Voodoo Gang was almost wiped out.

Kate stood in the distance, patiently waiting for Adam to vent with a hammer, for this kind of terrifying guy, and Arasaka Yorixuan's personal bodyguard, she has some murderous habits, she is not easy to evaluate anything, the top priority is to take the target person away.

"Adam Hammer, the trouble has been solved, bring someone and prepare for the return trip."

This time, Adam Hammer did not disagree with Kate's opinion, and walked to the target with heavy steps, only to find that the other person had fainted.

He was about to stretch out his mechanical palm, intending to pinch the target's head and drag it out of the rubble, when he heard a command from behind him, and his tone was a bit majestic.

"Adam Hammer, your mission is done."

Adam withdrew his hand and turned to look at the people behind him, only to see that the opposing team was not small, led by a young man in a black suit, with two hackers standing on the left and right, and a team of Arasaka secret service officers behind him.

Also from the Arasaka company?

Adam Hammer didn't move, he couldn't see any expression, just a little puzzled by the current situation.

The content of the task he received from Arasaka Yorinobu was to obtain the data of the subnet Poseidon and disrupt the on-site operation.

Just fell from the sky, destroyed the Barty Hotel, killed all the people of the Animal Gang and the Voodoo Gang, and captured the person with the Poseidon data in his brain, which can be regarded as completing all the tasks assigned by Lai Xuan.

But now other high-level executives of the Arasaka company have appeared out of thin air, which makes him temporarily stop and have no new actions.

When Kate saw Tang Yu appear, she couldn't help but curse a few times, if it weren't for Adam Hammer having to waste time here, they would have left with someone a long time ago.

But she stood next to the super powerful Adam Heavy Hammer, and seemed to be very confident, and said coldly: "Tang Yu, I advise you not to use the name of Lord San Lang to grab credit, this mission was completed by me and Adam Heavy Hammer by hand, do you want to take it by force?" ”

She was not afraid of Tang Yu at all, but hoped that Tang Yu would take the initiative to make trouble.

At that time, Adam will shoot with a heavy hammer, and Tang Yu will be a dead end.

Even if it is investigated at that time, there is Arasaka Yorito protecting Adam's hammer, and there will be no substantive punishment at all.

Kate is gambling, betting that Tang Yu is using the name of Lord Saburo Arasaka to trick her.

She never believed that the Arasaka family would really attach importance to Tang Yu, everyone was just a child on the chessboard of the Arasaka family, and it was normal for the black and white to eat each other.

Tang Yu was eaten by Adam's hammer, isn't it a normal thing, the Arasaka family will never really punish Adam Hammer, who has been loyal to Arasaka for many years, for the sake of an outsider.

Tang Yu looked a little strange and asked with a little smile.

"Whose credit have I taken?"

"Is it the credit for Adam's hammer, or is it the credit of your Kate?"

"If it's the former, I'd like to know."

"Adam Hammer, you are not only a bodyguard of Arasaka Yorixuan, but also a member of the Arasaka Company, and you have a conflict with the work of the Counterintelligence Department, so what is the mission you are here for?"

Adam's heavy hammer prosthetic eyes flashed red, and he quickly recognized Tang Yu's identity information, confirming that he was the acting minister of the counterintelligence department, the same department as Kate.

As a member of the Arasaka Company, although he only obeys the orders of Arasaka Yoritobu, he is also obliged to cooperate with the relevant departments.

Other than that.

Adam Heavy Hammer also knew some information about Tang Yu, and the other party was now working in the company under the name of Arasaka Saburo, which made him a little scrupled, so he said mechanically.

"My task is to cooperate with Kate's operation and get the subnet Poseidon data, that's all."

Tang Yu nodded slightly, and said bluntly: "Then you can complete the task and leave." ”

He motioned to Lucy beside him to copy Poseidon data from V's brain memory chip and give it to Adam Hammer.

Lucy glanced at Adam's hammer, clenched the reading chip in her hand, stepped across the ruins to V's side, and saw that she was still unconscious, so she handed the reading chip directly into the biological neural slot and began to copy Poseidon data.

Adam didn't make any movement and let Lucy move, but Kate, who was on the side, couldn't help it.

She noticed that Tang Yu didn't seem to have the intention of provoking Adam's hammer at all, and was even willing to give up the Seagod Data.

Isn't stealing Poseidon's data a task assigned to him by Lord Saburo Arasaka, and he dared to sell it like this.

She couldn't command Adam to kill a Arasaka company executive for no reason, and the situation was completely different from what she had thought.

With a fierce light in her eyes, Kate looked coldly at Lucy, who was copying the data, but she didn't expect Tang Yu to dare to continue to connive at this defected deep-diving hacker, and asked sharply: "You are not small, do you really think that you can hide that secret?" ”

When Lucy heard this, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Tang Yu showed an inexplicable look and asked rhetorically.

"Shouldn't you ask yourself this sentence?"

"Saburo Arasaka ordered to investigate the voodoo gang's affair about cyberspace, and now you suddenly ran out with Adam's hammer and intervened."

"There is a high probability that the subnet Poseidon data has also been damaged, and this operation is not successful, and you have to bear some responsibility for it."

"Of course, if you admit that it was Arasaka Yorito's order, you just acted on orders, and you could keep your position, but Arasaka Yoritomu has to explain it to the chairman well."

Hearing Tang Yu's words, Kate was stunned.

Does Tang Yu want to throw all the responsibility on himself?

But now the situation is obviously that Tang Yu is not acting effectively, and it is himself and Adam who save the scene with a hammer.

She noticed that the red prosthetic eyes of Adam Hammer beside her had locked on her, and she couldn't help but feel a chill on her back.

After Lucy finished reading the copy of Poseidon's data, she took out the chip from the back of V's neck, looked back at Tang Yu and said bluntly.

"The copy has been completed, and the Poseidon data is indeed missing."

V, who was lying in the ruins, coughed lightly twice, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he was still unconscious.

Kate's face instantly froze, the Poseidon data was damaged, she didn't take this responsibility, but she couldn't get rid of it.

It's all Adam Hammer, a madman, who can obviously kill into the hotel, find a copy of the server and leave, but he has to wreak havoc on the hotel site, wantonly slaughtering and disrupting the established plan.

She realized that if she didn't leave the scene, she might really be planted here, no matter what the result was, she had already finished her work according to the orders of Lord Arasaka Yoritobu, as long as she didn't confess the mastermind behind it, it would be okay to be punished.

"Heh, since you think that I sabotaged Lord Saburo's actions, it is up to Lord Saburo to decide, and it is not your turn to be the master."

Tang Yu smiled meaningfully, looked at Kate and said word by word.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"I forgot to bring you a message just now."

"You're fired."

As soon as the words fell.

Kate immediately popped up a series of prompts in front of her.

[You are guilty of violating the relevant regulations of Arasaka Company. 】

[Your position and rank in Arasaka Company are being cancelled. 】

[All your activities and business division in Arasaka have been ordered to stop. 】

The message reminded her that all the job rank information was locked, and she could not enable any Arasaka company-related business and permissions, and the relevant employee benefits would be stopped immediately.

Kate was completely stunned, unable to believe the information prompted in Yi's eyes, and muttered to herself.

"It can't be."

"It can't be!"

"It's impossible for the Arasaka company to fire me, I'm Arasaka Yoritobu-sama"

Syllable!

A dark shadow flashed, and Kate's entire head disappeared in an instant, leaving only a headless corpse frozen in place.

A moment later.

The corpse, which lost control, collapsed to the ground in an instant, and a large area of bright red blood flowed from its neck.

Adam's hammer withdrew his hand, and some scraps of meat were stuck to the mechanical arm.

He couldn't kill the top management of Arasaka Company without authorization, but Kate had just been fired from Arasaka Company, and she was no longer from Arasaka Company, so she didn't need any burden to kill her.

After finishing Kate, Adam Hammer looked at Tang Yu and said in a mechanical voice, "It's more than innocent to die." ”

Tang Yu agreed, but he didn't smash Kate into a piece of flesh, which was somewhat regrettable.

"Now that you've cleaned up the scum for Arasaka, you've saved yourself some procedural troubles."

"If you go back and talk to Arasaka Lai Xuan, you should use less people like Kate in the future, it will be difficult to achieve great things."

After speaking.

Tang Yu motioned for Lucy to hand over the chip containing the Poseidon data and threw it directly to Adam's hammer.

After Adam's hammer received the chip, he put it into the slot to read and check, found that there was no problem with the data, put away his weapon and prepared to leave.

The Arasaka float descended, and he got up and got into the seat.

Before leaving.

He looked directly at Tang Yu and left three words.

"Interesting."

After speaking.

The floating car spewed four pillars of blue flames, lifted directly into the air, left the scene, and disappeared into the sky.

Tang Yu saw Adam leave with a heavy hammer, and immediately ordered Douglas to take the people of the Arasaka special service team to close the team.

Douglas was still in shock, completely unresponsive to what had just happened.

A high-ranking Arasaka, the dignified deputy head of the counterintelligence department, said that he would be fired, and he was killed on the spot by Adam with a heavy hammer.

Such a scene left an indelible impression on him.

He couldn't help but shudder, thinking of the fact that before the departure of today's operation, fortunately he didn't choose to report to Kate, otherwise it is estimated that there would be more than one death.

And.

Since Kate joined the Counterintelligence Department, she has been constantly looking for Tang Yu's bottom material, and he has also assisted some.

Obviously, Tang Yu had put up with her again and again, and she hadn't been to work in the company for a while.

But this Kate didn't know what to do, so she wanted to take advantage of the gap to dig up Tang Yu's information, implicating him and offending Tang Yu.

At that time, Susan Abernathan arranged for him to be transferred from the Special Operations Department to the Counterintelligence Department, just to help Kate gain a foothold.

With that in mind.

A strong sense of remorse rose in Douglas's heart.

In his mind, Tang Yu is now the living king of Hades, and even Kate can't resist it, let alone his little Arasaka worker.

He couldn't help but start to worry faintly about his own safety, and even Tang Yu's instructions forgot to reply for a while.

"Douglas, I don't want to repeat it a second time." Tang Yu's tone was cold, and he reminded him again.

Douglas was immediately so frightened that his soul was about to fly, and he hurriedly apologized: "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, and I promise that there will be no next time."

After speaking.

Douglas immediately closed the team and quickly left the scene with the Arasaka special service team.

Tang Yu explained a few words to Moseley, the senior agent of network surveillance beside him, and asked him to send the offer notice as soon as possible, so that Lucy could go through the entry procedures, and at the same time arrange for Lucy to carry out hacking activities in Night City.

Moseley simply agreed, and he saw clearly what Tang Yu had done just now.

For the Arasaka company's infighting, the degree of complexity and bloodiness is far greater than that of the Internet monitoring agency.

Moseley is just a veteran hacker agent, and he is not good at this kind of power play, let alone angering an existence like Tang Yu.

Therefore, for Tang Yu's requirements, he basically accepted them all, after all, hiring Lucy was promised from the beginning, and Lucy's performance in hacking technology can be described as amazing.

In fact.

He also knew that Lucy was Tang Yu's person, and he might have other plans for being installed in the Internet Supervision Agency.

However, cyber surveillance and major companies are basically in a common relationship, and public cyber security also threatens the foundation of the company.

This is why Mosley is not worried about Lucy's problems, on the contrary, he is willing to use Lucy to match Tang Yu.

After talking about Lucy's onboarding, Moseley also left the scene.

He went straight back to the Empire State Building to pack up the setup, and the Voodoo Gang mission was complete, which was a great achievement for him.

After quickly dismissing the unrelated personnel around her, Tang Yu had time to rush to V's side, and hurriedly moved away the large stone slab that was pressing on her.

I don't feel a tightness in my heart.

I saw that her left forearm was missing, and there were many piercing wounds on her body that were bleeding nonstop.

His face was painful, and his lips, which were originally sexy, had also lost their blood color and were extremely pale.

It was the first time for Lucy to see Tang Yu look so nervous, and she seemed to care about the girl lying on the ruins.

Tang Yu didn't care about anything else, decisively called a delaman, and then picked up V and walked across the ruins and walked towards the street.

Delaman soon arrived at the scene, opened the car door automatically, and said bluntly.

"Hello Mr. Tang, long time no see, Delamain is happy to serve you."

Tang Yu first put V into the carriage, and then sat in, Lucy quickly followed in the car, and pressed the seriously injured wound for V.

"Lao De, go directly to the Watson Little Chinatown Prosthetic Clinic, I will send you the specific location, and I will arrive as soon as possible!"

Delamain immediately closes the doors, activates overdrive, and the engine roars, the tires spun and the road goes wild.

From the Taiping Prefecture in the south of Night City, head straight towards Watson in the north of Night City.

On the way.

Tang Yu carefully examined V's injury, although it was very serious, it did not hurt the root, coupled with V's strong physical fitness, this wave of injuries could stand.

He was relieved.

You must know that the injuries V suffered back then were thousands of times more tragic than this, but he still resisted stubbornly.

V seemed to regain some strength, squinting at the slit to see where he was.

Seeing that he was leaning on Tang Yu's arms, he asked weakly.

"Someone in a suit."

"I wrote it down"
