Wood Manor, in the luxurious hall, where the executives of major companies in high-end suits gathered.

They held wine glasses and gathered in twos and threes, exchanging information and information on each other, talking and laughing.

"This time, Arasaka Tower did not choose to access the services provided by the matrix space, is it planning to build its own server to connect to the Internet?"

"It's useless to build yourself, even the basic network nodes in Night City are built by the Night Company, and if you want to connect to the Internet, you have to have a hand from the Night Family, and now the Night Company provides a free service end, why not use it. As for the offline localization storage of core data, not to mention the contract agreement, there is no need to worry about data leakage, if there is a problem, find Yeshi company. ”

"I remember that Arasaka supported the use of matrix space services at the beginning, since the incident in the company square, Arasaka has become conservative and cautious, it seems that Arasaka's internal system is now a lot damaged, easy to be exploited loopholes, and when the internal system is rebuilt and repaired, it should be reconnected to the matrix space, and one of the giants of Night City cannot connect to the public network normally, which is unreasonable."

"Haven't you received the information yet, Tang Yu, who openly rebelled against Arasaka, has returned to Night City, I heard that after a few rounds of talks with Arasaka, it seems that he still wants to stay in Arasaka Company and continue to serve, and even the position is reserved for him."

"No, he can still work in Arasaka? Arasaka has fallen to this point, all thanks to his hand. The news of returning to the city had already spread underground, and many of the company's senior hunters were staring at it, waiting for the diggers to leave. ”

"Who made his performance in the company square too explosive, Arasaka is in a hurry to block all news about him, but how can this kind of thing be hidden. What I heard is that Saburo Arasaka is critically ill, and there are very different opinions within the Arasaka family, so naturally they will not let go of this unique talent, and whoever gets him will be able to stabilize the current situation in Arasaka. ”

"This is not entirely true, you see, the people present at the scene are all young and unfamiliar faces, although the company square accident has implicated many company executives, but there is no shortage of substitutes."

The lights were staggered, and the hall gradually died down as Miriamnet slid out in a levitating wheelchair.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to invite you to come here to witness the launch of the matrix space and experience this historic moment together."

"My husband built the foundations of this 'free' city with a dream, hoping that it would become a new benchmark for future cities around the world, providing the best shelter for all those who have dreams."

"Intelligence, technology, convenience, inclusiveness, security, and the future will be the most distinctive labels of the city."

"After the accident in the company square, the operating systems of major companies were seriously damaged, the infrastructure was seriously damaged, and the operation of the whole city came to a standstill."

"This is a new wake-up call to us that we need a more harmonious and stable environment that can eradicate all dangers and disadvantages."

"Now, we will take a big step towards being smarter, more technological, more convenient and safer, and initially realize the Internet of Everything in the entire city."

"With the launch of the matrix space, we will get a cleaner network, a more convenient transportation system, a faster security response, and a smarter prosthetic control."

"On behalf of myself, and my late husband, Richard Knight, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your support in making this dream happen."

"Thank you!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall resounded with thunderous applause, wave after wave, and it lasted for a long time.

Miriamnet's old face squeezed out a smile, and slowly looked around the people in the hall, smiling and applauding as far as she could see.

At this moment, her old and cloudy eyes burst into brilliance, and she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and her years of hard work were about to become a reality.

The crowd in the audience had all been stained with her husband's blood, tarnishing the city's proper glory.

Now she wants to take back the city from these people and take revenge on the coveting seizures of the company and the bloody assassination of the gangs.

Miriamnet saw too clearly that these people in the audience were just vampires in human skin, and if they killed a gang, they would change into a new skin and continue to stand tall.

Only when all people are connected to the Great Being, and the selfish side is abandoned, can this city, the world, be truly beautiful.

She smiled more than ever, and even waved to everyone in the audience as she left the stage, even if it used all her strength.

Miriam Knight returned to the backstage waiting room, her tired eyes almost overwhelmed.

A holographic blue figure slowly condensed and appeared in front of her eyes, judging by the appearance of a woman.

She asked, "It's still too late, if you will, physical death is not the end." ”

Miriam Nnight smiled helplessly, her hoarse voice faint.

"When Richard leaves me, my end is here."

"Go ahead, there's more important things waiting for you."

"I want to sleep for a while"

After saying that, the old and tired Miriamnet, covered her wrinkled eyes, fell into a deep sleep.

The blue holographic figure stopped and floated towards the hall, reappearing in front of everyone.

People stopped what they were doing, focused their eyes on the blue figure, and waited for the launch ceremony of the matrix space to begin.

"Today, we are giving the city a new lease of life"

The ethereal voice of the blue figure echoed through the hall, and with a wave of his hand, he sent out a scale-sized modeling image of Night City.

Under the company square, a red point of light began to flicker faintly, beating rhythmically like the heart of the city.

Gradually.

The red shimmer grew brighter and brighter, so much so that it became the brightest presence in the audience, attracting all eyes.

Moment.

The red light is abundant, and with it as the central point, it turns into rays of light, extending in all directions, constantly filling the various mesh lines.

The red light lit up the company buildings, the network nodes, the traffic arteries, and the electronic installations.

The originally dark city was lit up again, as if it had a bright red life.

The company's top executives looked up, all with a look of novelty, and the shadow of the red city flickered in their pupils.

"Our company's public network service is back to normal, and the previously damaged office system is being repaired"

"The power supply system was successfully restarted, and the cause of the damage was found out"

"The traffic command system in various places is back in normal operation."

Good news continued to echo in the hall, and people were pleased to find that all kinds of systems that had been damaged were being restored in an orderly manner.

In the city full of red light, a building still stands alone, still dark and unlit, and that is the Arasaka Tower.

At this time.

At the top of the Arasaka Tower, the wind hunted and hunted, and David Martinez was tightly wrapped in a strengthened version of the prosthetic King Kong, staring at the distant sky with a pair of eagle-like eyes.

Several other company buildings in the company square have been successfully activated matrix space services, and the office system has basically returned to normal, only the interior of the Arasaka Tower is still under repair, and many defensive weapons are in a state of closure.

Coupled with the accident in the company square, Tang Yu killed too many well-trained Arasaka warriors, although the number of manpower has been made up recently, but the combat effectiveness is far from the same, in order to make up for the combat effectiveness, many elite samurai have also been transferred from the Tiger Claw Gang, which is one of the few weakest moments in the Arasaka Tower.

David did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and the enemy could attack from the base or from the air. He arranged most of his troops to guard the base, some of the Arasaka security personnel were on duty at the important elevators and checkpoints inside, and he led a small number of elite teams to guard the roof of the building for air raids.

The multi-storey transportation hub disc of the company square, the bottom three disc lanes have begun to be officially opened to traffic, and the vehicles like flowing water shuttle between them, forming several flowing halos.

Suddenly, a large truck that was moving suddenly turned around and rushed in the direction of Arasaka Tower, despite the danger of falling from a height.

The truck crashed through the guardrail that had just been built, slammed out of the three layers of discs and fell high.

Thundered!

The truck exploded violently, setting off a burst of fire that immediately blocked the traffic on the street.

Many passers-by also stopped in a daze and looked strangely at the location of the incident.

Immediately afterwards, another car sped out of the three-story disc, this time rushing harder and farther, crashing through the guardrail and sparking on the ground, and the destroyed body slid forward for dozens of meters, approaching the base of the Arasaka Tower.

Bang Dang!

The sudden crash was like a charging signal, and more and more cars flew out of the second and third discs, scrambling to smash into the ground towards the Arasaka Tower.

This crazy move immediately caught David's attention, and he stood on the roof of the building and stared at the situation below, and the scene gradually spiraled out of control, and piles of cars crashed towards the Arasaka Tower like crazy, some hit the wall of the base, some hit the tails of other cars, and one after another.

Soon, David received a report from the frontline team.

"Commander! Finding an anomaly, more and more vehicles are piled up at the door, and those owners are behaving like cyber maniacs, requesting to deal with it! ”

The offensive began.

David decisively ordered everyone to hold their positions and not leave the Arasaka Tower, and anyone who trespassed on the Arasaka Tower, no matter who it was, would shoot and kill them on the spot.

Within a few minutes, the front of the base of the Arasaka Tower was already full of smashed vehicles, and liquefied alcohol was flowing everywhere.

Completely ignoring the risk of being shot, the owners pushed the car door and staggered towards the Arasaka Tower, their prosthetic eyes glowing with a faint blue light.

As the first group of people who lost control approached the gate of the Arasaka Tower, the Arasaka elite team did not hesitate to shoot and shoot the opponent at the gate.

Many people began to find that the vehicles they were driving began to behave uncontrollably, the radio station switched arbitrarily, the navigation destination changed to the Arasaka Tower at will, and even actively turned on the automatic driving mode, constantly accelerating and rampage.

As the base of the Arasaka Tower was crammed with vehicles, the sparks collided with the iron sheets finally ignited the alcohol fuel, and immediately ignited a raging fire.

Boom! Thundered.

The flames burst into the sky, and the violent explosion set off a huge wave of heat that broke through the windshields of the surrounding vehicles.

Fragments of debris flew out, and many of them smashed on the façade of the Arasaka Tower, but they did not shake a single bit.

"Activate Level 1 Alert!" David Martinez did not hesitate to give the order.

A red alert immediately lit up inside the entire Arasaka Tower, and the last remaining security intelligent weapon system began to operate.

The battle mechs in the middle of the hall were on alert, and the barrels of the guns were pointed out at all non-Arasaka personnel.

The Arasaka Tower base charge continued, not too threatening, but the attack from the other direction began again.

I saw a group of drones suddenly floating in the distance in the sky, the wings swirling and buzzing, and one after another small missiles were dragged out.

Shout! Shout! Shout!

The missile bombardment slammed into the hard surface of the Arasaka Tower's hard shell, leaving only a thermal blast mark.

The heavy machine guns set up on the rooftop immediately launched a counterattack, and several tongues of fire instantly poured out bullets like a curtain of bullets.

Click.

The drone swarm exploded one spark after another, and the first wave of air raids was resolved.

But David's expression did not relax in the slightest, but became more and more solemn, the enemy's means could never be the only one.

It has only been less than three minutes since the opponent launched the attack.

In Wood Manor, a number of company executives have been alerted to the intrusion and illegal control of the company's office system.

Puzzled, they began to discuss each other, only to realize that the problem came from the matrix space they had just accessed.

The crowd angrily demanded an explanation, but then obediently shut their mouths.

The bodyguards and personal guards they had brought with them raised their guns and pointed their guns at them, with their prosthetic eyes glowing faintly blue.

Obviously, the Yeshi company came prepared this time.

The holographic blue figure was like a god standing tall, overlooking everyone in the hall, and the cold voice had no emotion.

"It is your deserved honor to be part of this evolution."

After speaking.

The screen suddenly went black in front of the eyes of all the company executives present, and then various code windows popped up to seize their company certification permissions.

At this time.

The technical staff of the military science and technology office system suddenly discovered that there was a program trying to tamper with the permissions, and although he tried his best to resist, he was still taken advantage by the other party and obtained control of the arsenal from a higher level.

"The emergency alarm was activated, and the office system was deeply incompromised!"

The door of the armed warehouse was wide open, one drone after another took off, and one after another intelligently controlled floating vehicles started autonomously, flashing lights and began to march out in an orderly manner.

In response to a red alert, the smart office system tried to turn off electronic devices to protect itself, but was still taken away by an unknown intrusion program.

A brand-new combat robot, under the effect of intelligent networking, suddenly focused on the prosthetic eye, turned to light up a faint blue light, and then acted in unison, standing on the transport floating vehicle.

Batches of combat units poured out of the major company buildings, and they arrived towards the Arasaka Tower.

David saw three armed floats flying towards the opposite building, and immediately ordered to aim and fire again, and at the same time sent Arasaka armed floats to take off and fight.

For a while, the entire Arasaka Tower was plunged into a hot war, with fiery red bullets flying everywhere, and high-temperature shells exploding one after another, making a deafening sound.

More transport floats arrive above the Arasaka Tower, and piles of Kangtao robots leap out of the air and begin to attack the Arasaka elite team.

The Arasaka elite team raised the plasma cannon and aimed it at the Kangtao robot, and the blue arc instantly destroyed the circuit it touched.

Seeing more and more robots, David no longer stayed, and directly activated the enhanced version of the prosthetic King Kong with full firepower.

Circles of gravitational field boundaries appear on the ground, flashing with rapid red light.

Rumble!

Piles of robots were crushed to pieces.

He raised his hands towards the transporter and turned on the magnetic suction again.

The strong magnetic field immediately enveloped the transport float, pulling it down and causing it to roll badly, and then uncontrollably falling to the ground.

In the sky, the number of military technology-armed floating vehicles increased to six again, and the powerful firepower instantly destroyed the Arasaka floating vehicles.

He activated the anti-gravity system, and the huge mechanical legs charged up and leaped into the air.

The tall mechanical figure flew out in a parabola and landed directly on the military science and technology armed floating vehicle, and then raised its iron fist and smashed it, dismantling the floating vehicle to pieces in an instant.

Before it collapsed, David jumped again and landed on another armed float, wreaking havoc, and the military technology armed float crashed one after another.

David suddenly received a call for help from the ground, the gate was severely blasted, and the Kangtao battle robot broke through the bottom line, and the two sides engaged in a fierce exchange in the hall.

He looked down at the crowd of people rushing towards the Arasaka Tower below, and his eyes gradually became serious.

Moments later, David tore through the last of the armed floats, and his tall mechanical body leaped forward.

This time, instead of jumping back to the top of the Arasaka Tower, he aimed for the bottom of the base.

A black shadow of steel descended rapidly, and multiple heavy pressure boundaries were activated at the same time, enveloping a large area of target units.

Bang!

I only heard a loud explosion, and the entire Arasaka Tower shook three times, and a slight earthquake was heard on the ground, and black smoke suddenly filled the spot.

All the battle groups that were hit by the impact flew out in all directions, knocking down parts everywhere and could no longer continue to move.

As the smoke cleared, David stood up at the center of the fall, a crack in the ground around him.

Without waiting for the other party to organize another attack, David turned on Sianweistan, and the whole person disappeared in place and rushed into the Arasaka Tower, eliminating the remnants of the robot as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion on the upper half of the Arasaka Tower.

"Report to the commander, there are a number of private floating vehicles crashing into the Arasaka Tower, three of which have broken through into the building, and are currently on the eighty-second, sixty-seventh, and fifty-third floors."

"Kill all the intruders!" David decisively ordered.

He looked at the time, and he had to hold on for five minutes!

In the Mikoshi space.

Tang Yu lay in the metal compartment and waited.

The movement of the battle outside had penetrated the ground and reached the basement, and even he could feel a slight tremor, which showed the intensity of the battle on the ground.

He estimated that the operation of the Wandering AI must be to attack from the front, and then find a breakthrough to enter the security center, and open the entrance to the space passage of the god by infiltrating the program given by Ultra.

Finally, the Relic biochip loaded with Ultra will be connected to the Divine Information Data Core, and if it is confirmed, Ott will devour all the soul imprints imprisoned inside, perfecting her last lack of emotional logic.

This is when Tang Yu made a move, he activated the soul killer program, entered the Shenyu space, and used his once full-level hacking skills to trap him in the Shenyu space again.

One minute earlier for fear of Ott's vigilance, one minute later for fear of Ott running away, everything has to be carried out just right.

Not tonight!
