"Let's go."

In the safe house, Lucy turned off the office system, confirmed that the monitoring intelligence defense was turned on, and then looked at V behind him and said.

V got up from his seat and stretched, as if he had been waiting too long and was a little bored.

She had been sitting in this chair since a few hours ago, quietly watching Lucy busy in front of various electronic screens.

V couldn't help but sigh that he was really not suitable for sitting in the office, and after a while, he yawned and dozed off.

Seeing that he finally came to work, he could finally go out and move his muscles, V said very dryly.

"Let's go, let's catch someone who doesn't want brains today."

After explaining the situation to Gloria not long ago, V began to work and live with Lucy.

One is to help Lucy do some field tasks, which can earn some honorarium, after all, Gloria doesn't have a way to live every day.

Second, she wanted to express her gratitude, seeing that Lucy was in charge of network monitoring alone, she was obviously a little lacking.

The content of the job is not complicated, she sits and waits for Lucy to monitor the cyber sabotage activities on the Internet, and after tracking the clues of the target, they set off together to the destination to arrest those cyber hackers.

Performing these tasks is generally not dangerous, and most hackers are two- or three-person squads, and the force value is not very high.

Although there are many cyber hacker cyber attack methods, under the escort of Lucy, she just rushed in and killed indiscriminately, and no one was hacked again.

Sometimes if the task is fast, by the time they arrive at the scene, the target has already burned their brains.

The two work together quite tacitly.

Lucy applied for an informant subsidy from the network surveillance, and V received a fee subsidy for each attendance.

Due to the shortage of regular military personnel in the network monitoring and the fact that there is no shortage of money, the funds for spending money to hire informants are very sufficient, and the money in V's hands is no worse than that of commissioning.

After packing up their things, the two left the safe house.

Lucy explained as she descended the stairs.

"This time we're not going to arrest people, we're going to go to the Badlands now, the wandering tribe of Adakado."

Badlands?

V is not very clear about the purpose of going to the Badlands, and the scope of responsibility of cyber surveillance should not include the Badlands.

"Adakado, I've heard of the famous big families in the Badlands, and their leader Thor is famous, but the wanderers don't seem to welcome the city's people."

Lucy said bluntly: "This matter was arranged by Tang Yu, and it may be related to the subnet Seagod in your mind, and you will know the specific situation when you arrive at the scene." ”

V felt a little strange.

Are people in suits involved in this affair?

She followed Lucy's lead to the downstairs of the apartment, where a druman was parked on the side of the road and waiting.

When V saw the Draman taxi, he was a little surprised: "I'm afraid it's not cheap to rent this guy to go to the Badlands, right?" This trip is worth half a month's worth of work. ”

Lucy pulled the car door and chuckled, "Afraid of what?" Someone is responsible for paying for it. ”

V muttered, Bao Druman ran to the bad land, and somewhat touched Kaizi behavior.

The two then got into the car.

After receiving the designated customer, Delaman's mechanical voice said: "Welcome to Delamein Rental, Delamain will be happy to provide you with the best quality ride service experience." ”

"This destination has been accurately navigated for you, the Badlands Adicado camp, Mr. Tang specially asked me to convey the instructions to the two of you, and he is already waiting at the destination."

"If there are no other doubts, Delamain is about to get ready to go."

"Old De, let's go." Lucy said indifferently, and her tone unconsciously resembled Tang Yu when she spoke.

V heard that Mr. Tang was already waiting at his destination, and there would be no second person besides him who had chartered the car.

Thinking of Tang Yu's high-level style of sending the company's top management, if he Bao Druman went to the Bad Land, it would be much more reasonable.

Still, she knew something about the Badlands, which were as dangerous as the streets of Night City, if not better.

It's a haven for criminals and disorder, and while there's chaos in Night City, there's at least a backing of the Terrorist's Task Force.

If you die in the Bad Land, you may not even be able to find the shadow of the corpse.

V was faintly worried: "Is this mission dangerous?" Why even he went. ”

She felt that Tang Yu should not be the kind of person who would take risks in person, and this time she ran to the Bad Land, she must have some plans.

Lucy's gaze was calm.

She knew why Tang Yu would go to the Badlands in person, in addition to communicating with the Adcardo family, there was another reason.

During her deep diving, she couldn't have any outsiders, only Tang Yu could accompany her.

This time to go to the Badlands, you need to dive deep into cyberspace, and find the address of the matrix space through the signal source placed by the Mann team, so as to find out what the purpose behind it is.

She looked at the V next to her and said bluntly.

"If it goes well, there shouldn't be any danger, but this mission has something to do with the Night Clan."

V remembered that a few days ago, she went to the annual meeting of the overnight company with Tang Yu, and the content of that party immediately appeared in her mind.

Supercar, high heels, lace-ups, dancing in your arms.

No, no.

It should be the strange attack of the waiter, the intriguing conversation of Miriam Knight, and the new infrastructure plan announced by the Night Company that night, and the matrix space that is emphasized.

It's just that in the past few days, the matrix space is no longer a secret, and the cooperation between the Yeshi company and major companies has already been on the table.

And if the construction of the matrix space goes well, it will provide network services to the residents of the entire Night City.

V asked with a little surprise: "Is it related to the Night Company, I remember that when I investigated the cyber maniac before, the first destination was the field of the Night Company, and the janitor at the construction site was very strange, as if he had been brainwashed." ”

"And the charity plan promoted by Ye's company is not as good as they say, and some inhumane experiments may be being carried out behind the scenes."

Lucy bowed slightly, she already knew what V said, what the Night Company did was not within the scope of network monitoring, unless there was evidence that they were destroying the black wall, and even trying to help the wandering AI outside the black wall to come.

And this evidence is likely to be hidden in the matrix space.

Dlaman heard the conversation between the two of them involving the keyword 'Ye's Company', and an expressionless, bald figure appeared on the electronic screen, and said in a mechanical voice.

"Now there is a consultation broadcast about the instant news of the Yeshi company, do you need to listen to it?"

"Say it." Lucy's expression was indifferent, and she also knew something about the negotiation of matrix space cooperation between Ye's company and major companies.

The cyber surveillance also sent representatives to the talks, but it was most likely just a formality.

In order to circumvent the supervision of the Internet to the greatest extent, the company also specially invited representatives of the municipal government to participate in the talks, trying to control the regulatory authority in the hands of Night City itself.

Cyber surveillance is not a local service in Night City, after all, and it is understaffed.

It is basically impossible to completely own the regulatory matrix space.

With the participation of the city government of Night City in joint supervision, network supervision can also save manpower and material resources.

Cyber surveillance is much more tolerant of these large companies than the average team organization.

These decisions at the top have nothing to do with Lucy, and she can't shake the decision of online surveillance.

After receiving permission, Dlaman continued to report the news: "Today, under the leadership of city representative Jefferson Perares, the Yeshi company held business project talks with Arasaka, military technology, biotechnology, Kangtao and other companies. ”

"Consultation and discussion were held on the implementation of the new infrastructure plan of Night City proposed by Yeshi Company, and the intention to cooperate with the key network service project 'matrix space' was discussed."

"After consultation and agreement of major companies, the first-order form of 'matrix space' will be launched tomorrow to provide some basic network services for major companies."

"At the same time, the supervision of the operation of the matrix space will be included in the scope of municipal supervision and the network supervision agency will be jointly responsible for supervision."

"According to the current known information, a number of companies, including Arasaka, have signed cooperation agreements with Yeshi Company, and some companies are still in the stage of intentional negotiations."

When Lucy heard the news on the air, there was not much new content, and it was basically the news she knew.

There is Tang Yu's arrangement on Arasaka's side, and it must be the first batch of companies to reach cooperation, and only in this way can the Yeshi company open the matrix space.

On the contrary, it was V next to him, who felt that things were getting more and more strange.

Jefferson Perares represented the municipal side and took the lead in negotiating cooperation between companies.

At that party, Lucius Lane's plan was not in vain.

This is properly giving Jefferson a long face.

The people of Night City are not optimistic about this matter, and Night City will change to the network service provided by Night Clan's Matrix Space in the future, which makes them feel uneasy.

They felt that it would be better to use the public network that was left after the Great Crash, at least the company was not so pervasive.

If you change the network provided by these large companies, who will dare to surf the Internet with confidence in the future, I am afraid that there will really be no privacy left at all.

So.

Jefferson's inclusion of the matrix space in the joint supervision of municipal and network surveillance is, to some extent, the better of the worst outcomes.

Delaman continued: "After the disclosure of this new infrastructure plan, it was not welcomed by the people of Night City, on the contrary, many underground hacker groups and groups have spoken out on this matter through channels, opposing the implementation of the new infrastructure plan, especially the matrix space network service. ”

"Damn, these companies are really bad, are they trying to force everyone to go out of the way?"

V is used to wandering the streets, and has already figured out the temper of the city, and Night City needs space more than life or death, and space for people to sway freely.

This is the charm of Night City, and it attracts people from all over the world to come to Night City to pursue their dreams.

Now that the company wants to take away even the last bit of cyberspace, the people who live in Night City are certainly not happy.

Fortunately, at present, the service objects of the matrix space are only major companies, and it does not affect the larger scope.

"It's true that no one expects the company to be well-intentioned." Lucy's eyes were downcast, and she muttered.

"If the new infrastructure plan is really successful, Night City will be like a cage."

V agrees: "That's right, if staying here is no different from going to jail, can it still be called Night City?" ”

Delaman continued to broadcast the latest inquiries he had learned.

"Dr. Paradox has publicly stated that the Matrix Project launched by the Night Company is intended to turn the entire Night City into a suitable fertile soil."

"To nurture the gods they revere, the AI that roam the cyberspace."

"Everybody will have to worry a little bit by then, maybe one day another voice will suddenly appear in your head and smile at you."

"You've got a good brain, it's mine now, hehe."

Valley area, municipal large meeting room.

After the meeting, the participants in suits and leather shoes stood up one after another and went out with their front and back feet.

The Military Science and Technology Business Group was the first to leave the meeting, followed by Meredith Stott, behind the vice president in charge of external public relations.

The military science and technology delegation is not small, and it attaches great importance to it, with a senior vice president, a director and three ministers of the administration department, the project department, and the special operations department attending the meeting.

Although military science and technology gave the night company enough face on the surface, it still conservatively refused to cooperate with the night company, and chose to continue to wait and see for the follow-up.

Military science and technology have a lot of project cooperation with Yeshi company, and the security of Yeshi company is basically handed over to military science and technology, and at the same time purchase their weapons and equipment in large quantities.

Meredith had expected that Military Technology would agree without hesitation, but it turned out to be completely different from what she had thought.

The branch of Military Technology in Night City does not need the Night Clan Company to provide network services at all.

Even if the cooperation seems redundant, for the sake of the long-term relationship between the two companies, joining the matrix space will not have much impact on military technology.

Meredith soon realized that this was not the point.

The main reason is that Arasaka's attitude is too weird, and they agreed to cooperate without hesitation.

According to intelligence sources, Arasaka was the first to respond to the proposal of the Night Company, and only then did other companies follow.

What exactly Arasaka wants to do, and what is the purpose behind the Night Company, these make her uncertain.

After the vice president of military science and technology got into the car, he motioned Meredith to look for her in the office after returning to the company.

A moment later.

The military tech commercial team returned to the corporate building, and Meredith headed straight to the vice president's office.

She stood at the door of her office and waited for a while, revealing that the access was unlocked, and then walked inside.

The senior vice president of military technology management in front of him is not only one of the board members in charge of Night City, but also Meredith's immediate boss.

Military technology attaches far more importance to Night City than other regions, and even the management is high-matched.

When the vice president saw Meredith's arrival, he said bluntly: "Recently, you have been staring at the matrix space of the Yeshi Company, which means that I don't want to see another country within a country appear in this area." ”

Meredith's heart thumped, and his face grimaced, and he turned away as soon as he received the order.

She probably guessed something.

The boss does not want the Yeshi company to really implement the new infrastructure plan successfully, so as to build the night city into an "independent" and "independent" kingdom.

What they wanted more was a chaotic Night City, where they finally found a chance to reintegrate into the territory.

Night City is of great importance to the West Coast of New America, not only as a cosmopolitan city, but also as a deep-water harbor with high strategic regional economic value.

Meredith took the public elevator all the way back to her office and lit a cigar.

She stood in front of the panoramic glass with her cigar in her hand, her face a little sad, this matter really made it a little difficult for her.

Tomorrow, the matrix space will be opened, and it is obviously too late to bury dark piles to cause destruction, and this approach is too stupid, once it is leaked, it will inevitably leave the impression that it is ineffective.

The security of the Night Company is in the hands of the company, and the conflict between Congressman Jefferson and Lucius Lane seems to be a good starting point.

It is not easy to disrupt the new infrastructure plan.

Meredith exhaled a deep puff of cigarette and frowned tighter.

Adecardo Camp.

Tang Yu wore a cowboy hat, flipped the gun in his hand, and after checking the bullet, he took it in his hand and turned it horizontally and vertically twice.

This is an old revolver, which belongs to hard currency arms, without any intelligent auxiliary equipment, and whether it can hit depends on the user's feel.

Not many people use these guns these days, and Cassidy is a big believer in cowboys and revolvers, and even in his old age, he can't get enough of these antique gadgets.

"The gun is good, but we have to see if you are as good as Panang." Cassidy stood aside and laughed at Tang Yu's revolver.

Panan, who was skinned with a wheat complexion, stood aside with his hands on his hips, and said proudly: "Don, don't let everyone down, let them increase their knowledge, the demeanor of the sharpshooter, I absolutely believe you, if you win the game, we will meet one later!" ”

Mitch wore overalls, waited for the gun with amusement, and said with added vinegar: "Although Don gave me a big one, I think Cassidy still has a better chance of winning, after all, no one has played this kind of antique these years for a long time." ”

Panan looked unhappy, tried to find Tang Yu back on the field, and said loudly: "Mitch, then let's make a bet, if Tang wins the game, how about you send him the 'watch'?" ”

Mitch put on a look of an old god: "Even if you don't make this bet, I think it's good to give 'Watch' to Tang." ”

This made Panan choked, and he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "you, Mitch, don't use this set to anger the old lady." ”

Before the two could end their quarrel, they heard several gunshots, followed by the sound of glass bottles shattering.

Panan hurriedly looked sideways, only to see that Tang Yu and Cassidy both pulled out their guns and shot at the same time.

In the distance, glass bottles burst one after another, and debris splashed in all directions.

When the two put away their guns, everyone immediately checked the shooting results.

Cassidy still had one glass bottle left in his target range that missed, and all six glass bottles on Tang Yu's side were all broken down and exploded without exception.

This accurate and fast marksmanship surprised everyone present.

To know.

Both of them use cowboy guns to shoot, and it is difficult to judge the accuracy of the glass bottle in the distance, even with the naked eye, let alone play with the sense of the gun.

Cassidy has been practicing this technique of drawing a gun for many years, so he knows it by heart.

But Tang Yu won the game for the first time.

It's clear whether it's luck or strength.

"I'll go, it's okay, Don, I really didn't misread you."

With that, Panan looked sideways at Mitch and asked proudly.

"What's going on, Mitch, you don't have anything to say now, 'Watch' to such a sharpshooter is not a burying of your craft."

Mitch was calm: "I won't use a sniper rifle anyway, and you will give it to Tang for me later, but seriously, when can I come to Taiwan again." ”

Tang Yu took off his cowboy hat, returned the hat to Cassidy along with the pistol, and said, "There will be a chance soon." ”

Cassidy took the object and complimented, "Panan is still not accurate, you are not a sharpshooter, but a natural sharpshooter who rides a horse." ”

Everyone laughed.

Tang Yu came to Panan and said softly: "Panan, I have something to do, let's talk alone for a while." ”

Panam nodded, keeping up with him.

After the big guy left, the two came to an unmanned tent and sat down.

Panan casually took out two bottles of beer from the freezer, bit the lid with his teeth, and handed Tang Yu a bottle.

Tang Yu took the cold beer, and the two touched.

Panan said with some smugness: "I didn't expect you to integrate into Adicado quite quickly, if only Sol was here, he would definitely appreciate you." ”

Thor led some key family members into the city to discuss business with the company, and Panam quarreled with him over this matter.

Tang Yu took a sip of beer and looked at the loess tribe under the afterglow of the sunset, feeling like he was home.

He had spent some time with Panang here and was familiar with everyone in the tribe.

The wild and gentle Panan, the righteous Thor, Mitch, and Scorpion, and the good hacking skills of Dakota and Carol, etc.

Tang Yu once sat here with his tribesmen playing folk songs and enjoying a campfire surrounded by the silence of the wilderness.

He also indulges in a wild girl under the stars, and unexpectedly sees her shy and sensitive side.

Those times were wonderful.

And now.

The Adicado family is thriving, everyone is still talking and laughing, and the war has not yet reached them.

Tang Yu felt that this was good, and it was best for the family to get together.

He said slowly: "This is exactly what I want to say, since Thor is not in the tribe, you don't have to participate in this operation, so as not to make Sol come back and make trouble."

Panan's relationship with Sol has been a little tense recently, and if Panan doesn't consult with Sol and privately mobilizes the power of the tribe to support Tang Yu, it will inevitably cause even greater disagreement.

Tang Yu didn't want Panan to be driven out of the tribe again, cherishing the present is the most important thing, and who can say clearly what will happen in the future.

Panan said confidently: "I thought it was something, don't worry, Thor is not the kind of stingy person, he remembers the favor you send to the tribe." ”

"It's just that what is the goal of this operation, and it is to prepare for deep diving installation, and it is to use the convoy, I have long wanted to do a big ticket."

Tang Yu saw that the time was ripe, so he spoke.

"The target is the Yeshi Company, and I'm going to sneak in from that maglev tunnel in the suburbs, install the signal source program chip, and see what the hell they're up to."

Ye's company?

Panan looked very surprised, and asked again: "I know that the construction site is a security arranged by military technology, do you have any plans?" ”

While the two were chatting, the hooded scorpion came over and said in a deep voice.

"Panan, there are two people from the city, saying that they are looking for you and Don."

Panan looked at Tang Yu suspiciously, only to hear him say.

"Everyone is here, let's get ready to do it."

Not tonight.
