Chapter 55: The First Field Trip
West Sea Coast.
The sea breeze swept up layers of waves, constantly slapping against the cliffs, rushing out of the foaming stars, with a faint salty taste.
Between the steep cliffs, there is a gentle slope that extends into the sea, which is one of the few tidal flats suitable for landing.
David Martinez stood in the wind, wearing a full black tactical uniform, looking out over the endless sea.
He was followed by a Arasaka special service team, quietly waiting for the target to appear.
David was appointed as the captain of the operation this time, responsible for picking up and dropping off the goods sent from Kyoto, due to the need for secrecy of the operation, the number of people in the team was small, and he deliberately chose this unmanned tidal flat to land.
Since his last attack, he has been quickly promoted to a higher rank, and has also undergone a higher-level cyber prosthetic transformation.
His eyes were kept staring into the distance and never took his eyes off, this was the first time he had led a team on a field mission.
It's almost time for the designated handover, and it's inevitable that I'm a little nervous.
A moment later.
A huge ship appeared in David's sight, and after confirming that the other party belonged to Arasaka, his tense nerves were relieved.
He then ordered his men to fire flares to signal their location.
Soon.
A hole opened in the cabin of the giant ship, and two waterway amphibious armored vehicles drove out, entering the water and heading in the direction where David was.
After the successful arrival of the armored vehicle, the two sides communicated and confirmed.
A total of two pieces of goods need to be delivered to the company square Arasaka Tower.
Seeing that everything was confirmed, David ordered the special service team to get into the car and set off on the road.
The route is very remote, the terrain is wasteland all the way, there are no existing traffic roads, and no one usually notices it.
The convoy galloped rapidly on the loess, with dust and sand at its tail.
David sat in the cab, checking the radar image from time to time, always paying attention to the movements around him, and did not dare to slack off.
Although there is little sphere of influence involved in this road, there is also a risk of intelligence leakage.
The mission was under the ministry and was approved by Susan Abernathy.
He suspected that there might be something wrong with this, but he wasn't sure what the other party was going to do.
But what David knows is that once the goods are robbed, his career in Arasaka will basically come to an end, and all his previous efforts will be in vain.
He doesn't like working in the company, but he doesn't hate it.
For him to join Arasaka, Gloria paid too much, and Tang Yu also took the risk to help.
To have today's job and treatment, there is too much hard work and hard work behind it, and he can't ignore it.
Now he has a small start in his career, and he has made meritorious contributions inexplicably, and has also been rewarded and promoted.
'I guess I didn't disappoint them,' David thought to himself.
Since Tang Yu was promoted to the public relations department, he has not seen Tang Yu again, and he has not had a chance to express some things he wants to say.
David felt that maybe one day in the future, when he also tried to rise to that position, he would be able to face it calmly.
While his thoughts were wandering, he suddenly received a report from the team members.
"Sir, we have discovered that an unknown force is approaching our route at ten o'clock!"
David's heart sank, what should have come has finally come.
At this time.
Dozens of kilometers in front of the Arasaka convoy, on a weathered stone mound, stood a girl with two ponytails, looking into the distance with an electric telescope, her hair swaying in the wind on both sides.
Everywhere she swept, there was a vast expanse of dust and sand, and she couldn't even see a ghost.
"What's the matter, Mann, are you sure someone is going to deliver here, and a wave of people are coming here to intercept the goods?"
Mann, who was sitting at the front of the car, replied with a serious face: "Faraday's information is here, yes. ”
Rebecca put down the binoculars and hung them around her neck, and said dissatisfied: "That asymmetrical four-eyed errand, every time it is mysterious, it is definitely not good to talk and hide it, I think next time, it is better not to take his job, the key is that something went wrong, that guy will definitely sell us as soon as possible." ”
With the lesson of the military-grade Sianweistein, Rebecca simply abhorred this kind of irresponsible middleman.
"It's too far from Gloria's commission, and there is also the company's backing, how good, you can wave as much as you want."
Mann laughed helplessly.
Rebecca's words are a bit too much, they are mercenaries, and naturally they will take on whatever work they have and money.
Gloria doesn't always have a high-priced list, they usually spend a lot of money, and they can't always wait for the family's livelihood.
This time, after a long time, Faraday found them again and arranged this commission, and gave them a generous honorarium.
And the content of the commission is not complicated, just waiting here for a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches.
After the Arasaka convoy was hijacked, they went to rob the other party's goods and sent them to the designated place to hand over the errand.
Based on the information given by Faraday, Mann judged that this list was not very difficult, and even if it could not be done, he would be able to get out of it with his whole body, and there would be no serious damage or even casualties in the team.
After snatching things in the wasteland, they run away, leaving almost no horses' feet, and it is easy to escape by car.
Rebecca was not interested in the mission, and jumped off the stone pier, took off the binoculars and threw them to Dorio.
"Look, I'll get in the car and squint for a while, and then call me if there's a situation."
Dolio grabbed the binoculars, smiled, and jumped up on the stone pier that was more than a man high.
As soon as she raised her binoculars, she exclaimed, "Mann, there's a situation!" ”
As soon as she heard this, Rebecca immediately turned around, raised her hand high and climbed the stone pier, desperately climbing up, her two fat legs kicking on the pier.
"Dolio, pull me, pull me up, I want to see!"
Dolio had no choice but to pause his hand and reach out to Libeb to pull it up.
Rebecca couldn't hold back her excitement, and hurriedly grabbed the binoculars and looked: "Where?" Where? ”
Dorio had no choice but to straighten the telescope for her, pointing it in the direction she had just been.
Sure enough.
Rebecca spotted a convoy heading in their direction.
She adjusted the focal length, zoomed in on the vista one after another, until she saw the front sign and shouted, "It's Arasaka!" Arasaka team! ”
Then.
She moved her gaze to the driver's seat again, and found that the person sitting in the passenger seat was carefully checking the ammunition of the machine gun, and his appearance was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Huh? Isn't that the son of the lady of Lizzy? ”
Hearing this, Mann also turned over on the stone pier, took the telescope from Rebecca's hand, and checked again, and found that it was really David Martinez.
Is this a coincidence or an intentional arrangement?
Mann was unaware of the problems within the Arasaka Company, so he had to return this information to Gloria first.
Before he could put down his binoculars, he noticed movement in the distance from another direction, a convoy was rushing towards David from the side, most likely a hijacking team.
Mann took a closer look at the hijacking convoy again, and there were quite a few of them, apparently trying to snatch the cargo in one fell swoop.
He quickly made a decision: "Dorio and Qiwei keep an eye on the Arasaka convoy, pay attention to David's personal safety, I will pass the information to Gloria, Pila, Rebecca, you pack your things and follow me into the car, responsible for snatching the goods from the hijacking convoy!" ”
Mann jumps off the stone pier and gets into the car as soon as possible, followed by Rebecca and Pila.
His eyes turned, and he quickly sent the situation to Gloria, who received an immediate reply.
[Gloria Martinez: Mann, I'm sorry, I can only trouble you again, David just needs to be safe, you should be more careful. 】
After receiving the reply, Mann no longer hesitated, and began to move with one foot on the accelerator, looking for a better position to cut off the beard halfway.
Dolio picked up the binoculars and continued to check on the convoys of both sides.
Seeing that the hijacking convoy was approaching quickly, the Arasaka convoy lowered their windows one after another and fired wildly at the hijacking convoy.
David even leaned out of the roof window of his car and mounted a heavy machine gun to bomb indiscriminately.
Dorio soon discovers that the Arasaka convoy does not seem to have enough firepower, and the convoy does not have many people with them.
Is it deliberate? She had to suspect that the kidnapping was most likely organized against David.
Even if David survives the abduction, it may be difficult for him to stay in Arasaka if he loses his goods.
Dorio then told Mann about his speculation, wanting to confirm Faraday's commission, whether or not to do it.
Mann, who was speeding in the car, replied decisively: "Of course the commission will be done, but there is a high possibility of failure." ”
Dorio smiled, "It seems that I can only go back to Gloria to make up for it." ”
Braving a hail of bullets, the hijacking convoy crashed directly into the Arasaka convoy and quickly separated the two amphibious armored vehicles.
As planned, after ramming the Arasaka convoy, someone quickly jumped onto the amphibious armored vehicle, forcibly blasted the cockpit door of the vehicle, and desperately fought to get in and seize control of the vehicle.
Seeing this, David didn't care about strafing with the machine gun, picked up the machine gun, turned over on the roof of the car, jumped into the enemy convoy, and shot indiscriminately.
The other team members also supported with firepower, but the opponent had the advantage in numbers, and the gunfight was chaotic, and the few special service members were killed one after another.
David killed several people in a row, snatched an open-top off-road from the other party, and killed one of the amphibious armored vehicles.
There was a fierce fight in the cockpit, and after David got closer, he jumped up without hesitation and got into the cockpit to fight.
There was a burst of gunfire, the cockpit was splattered with blood and minced flesh, and several electronic screens were cracked by stray bullets.
The unmanned armor tilted badly, made a bend in place, and hit several vehicles in succession.
David quickly rushed to the driver's seat and tried to control the car, only to find that there was a problem with the driver's instrument dial.
He looked anxiously out the window and saw that another armored car was already driving into the distance under the escort of the hijacking convoy.
David was so anxious that he watched as the other party left some people to continue the massacre, and the special service members were killed one by one.
He could only defend the hatch to the death, so as not to let the armored car also fall into the hands of the enemy.
After killing a few more people who wanted to enter the hatch one after another, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be new movement outside.
A business modified car that came out of nowhere, knocked over two cars, and killed in the hijacking convoy.
The hijackers outside had their heads bubbling like electric shocks, and then they fell down with a puff of white smoke.
There are hackers?!
The opponent moved extremely fast, and the remnants of the hijacking convoy were also shot dead one after another, and the movement outside became smaller and smaller.
David slammed on the brakes, finally stopped the armored car, and rolled out of the cockpit.
Seeing the mess all over the ground, the convoy was completely destroyed, and all the team members who followed him on the mission were killed in the attack.
He jumped off the ground and walked towards the modified car that had just been saved, clutching the machine gun tightly in his hand.
Seeing David's vigilant face, the driver Falco explained with a smile on his face: "Relax friends, we were invited by your mother." ”
My mom?
David was stunned for a moment, he thought that the other party was another group of people who wanted to hijack the goods, but he didn't expect it to be the rescuers invited by Gloria.
Dorio and Qiwei got out of the car and saw David with a confused face, and Dorio explained.
"It's a bit complicated, but you should have seen us, in your house."
After being reminded, David immediately remembered that on the night not long after the car accident, a group of cyberpunks suddenly broke into his house, begging for something.
Could it be that after Gloria became the boss lady of Lizzie, she hired them as a commission?
David didn't know much about his mother, but he could sense that she was getting more and more simple.
He put down the gun in his hand, the fierce battle just now made him nervous, and after confirming that it was his own person, he said apologetically.
"Thank you."
If it hadn't been for them just now, David probably wouldn't have been able to save anything, and now at least one cargo is in his hands.
Dorio didn't care about that, and when he saw the mess all over the place, he suddenly found that the back door of the armored car had been broken.
She reminded: "The goods you are shipping may have to be relocated. ”
David hurriedly turned around, only to find that the rear compartment door had been blown open during the battle, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation.
When I came to the trunk of the car, I found that there was a pair of mechanical cabinets lined up inside, large enough to accommodate one person to lie in.
A string of characters on the counter is marked - prosthetic King Kong.
In the mechanical cabinet, a set of combat implants were fixed in order, two prosthetics like black giant wheel engines, which made him extremely curious.
Seeing David standing in the back compartment and not moving, Dorio and Qi Wei also stepped forward to check.
Dorio asked, "What is this?" ”
David shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
On the contrary, Qi Wei on the side, holding the electronic tablet to input some model information of the combat implant, said after confirmation.
"It should be an experimental integrated combat implant, with its own anti-gravity system, as well as magnetic field control, probably newly developed by Arasaka Company."
David looked at this prosthetic body and was a little distracted, thinking that when he conducted the physical function test at that time, he got a good evaluation of physical function.
Katsuo Tanaka boasted to him that the R&D department had several top-secret combat implants, and he might have a chance to let him try them.
David was a little worried when he saw this mechanical cabinet, how to get such a big guy back, the car was basically scrapped, and there was a piece of goods that was snatched away, and he couldn't go back to this operation.
Why don't you load it up?
Perhaps you can use this battle implant to retrieve the goods, and then send both goods back to the Arasaka Tower.
Qi Wei saw his thoughts, and said indifferently: "I advise you not to do this, this kind of experimental combat implant may have just left the factory, and it has not been tested for compatibility, and the intensity of use is too high, and your brain and nerves will not be able to withstand it." ”
Dorio told him to wait, saying that Mann had already gone to grab the goods.
Before David's thanks could be uttered, Dorio received a message from Pila.
"Come on, we've been ambushed, and Mann has been shot."
Dorio looked horrified.
Not tonight!
I originally wanted to write two chapters, but it was too late, and four thousand words is equivalent to two chapters.
