Chapter Twenty-Four: Cannon Boom!

Three days later.

The city lord of Ryan, who had just finished the press conference, could be said to be in high spirits, and he felt that he had found the passion he had when he ran for the city lord again.

It's just that at that time, he was on the list of the big ship of Arasaka, and now, he has chosen military technology.

"What about Congressman Jefferson?"

He casually asked the followers around him, it seemed that he often didn't see Jefferson's figure during this time, and when he contacted him, he said that he was studying how to deal with Arasaka with military technology.

Fortunately, the results have been seen at this moment, and when he thinks of the angry and corrupt appearance of the people in Arasaka, the city lord of Ryan can't help but be secretly happy, and even put the slightest negligence of Councilor Jefferson in the back of his mind.

"This kid still has a good way of doing things, after being re-elected next year, let's see if I can arrange a deputy city lord for him."

Lord Ryan thought.

And at this moment, outside the Night City, in the camp of military technology, the person in charge, Youlan, is busy dispatching the convoy.

He's going to get out of Night City!

Arasaka's counterattack was unexpectedly harsh, and on the day of the outbreak of public opinion, some of the obscene deeds of military science and technology in the past were put on the table.

What is secretly controlling important state officials, secretly smuggling and selling arms, and using unfair competition to suppress opponents......

And the military science and technology side, of course, was not to be outdone, and released some painless scandals, and started a fight with Arasaka.

It seems that the two sides are arguing on the Internet, but in fact, Yulan, who knows the company's rules, understands that the two giants are diverting the public's attention and trying to solve the matter in private.

Don't you see that the news that broke out is all painless little things?

When he was first transferred from the headquarters to Night City, Yulan fantasized about being able to defeat the Arasaka entrenched here and reintegrate it into the sphere of influence of military technology, and Night City would be his own backyard at that point.

However, there was such a good opportunity before, but the high-level still chose peace talks.

"Aren't you afraid that the fifth corporate war will start? The high-rise has really been comfortable for too long! With Arasaka, whose headquarters is far away in the east, they can still cut such a large piece of meat on their own territory, waste! ”

angrily scolded the inaction of the higher-ups, but Yulan still understood that if he didn't leave at this time, when the two sides negotiated a new exchange of interests, then he would probably become a bargaining chip to calm Arasaka's anger.

Youlan used to do this kind of thing a lot, but at that time it was he who decided the fate of others.

"Jefferson? I'll be careful about making a deal with you, but when I'm back at HQ, I'll be able to persuade the higher-ups to revisit their strategy for Night City, and all you have to do is wait quietly. ”

After sending the email, the security convoy consisting of a number of military trucks left in such a huge way.

On the hillside a few kilometers away, most of the members of Li Ji and Xinghuo were ambushed here, and the three gun carriages were draped in thick optical camouflage, encircling a short section of the mountain road in an encircled posture.

And behind them, the last truck was covered with a huge black cloth, which was mysteriously hidden by Li Ji.

"You really don't need to wade into the troubled waters with me."

Li Ji helplessly looked at the three-fingered people who were engrossed in the ambush, the latter not only came, but also brought all the inventory that Li Ji had made recently.

Including more than a dozen special mortars, as well as thousands of fully automatic assembly line production of the 3,000 2.0 version, specially used as mortar shells.

Since the last attack on the Tigers, he tasted the sweetness of firepower, and Three-Finger has become more and more fond of these cute guys.

"Boss, your business is the business of the brothers, not to mention that this is also to avenge those dead labor friends? I've had drinks with them before! ”

"That's it, boss!"

"Our spark is going to burn these lawless company dogs to the ground!"

"Anyway, Lao Tzu's life was picked up for nothing, and I did it!"

Everyone was gossiping in the communication, but Li Ji had some moving emotions in his heart.

In Night City, not everyone will join you in a life-and-death battle with your head pinned to your waistband for an inexplicable ideal.

"Everyone, with our own safety as the first requirement, what we have to deal with this time is not the garbage of those gangs last time, but the military technology security convoy with sophisticated equipment!"

Three-fingered smiled, patted the mortar in his arms and said, "Our cannon is not bad!" ”

It seems that the three fingers have gradually come out of his father's shadow.

Li Ji sighed silently, and at the same time remembered the mysterious USB flash drive.

This thing seems to use a very old encryption method, and Xiaosha's computing power has been busy manufacturing equipment and hacking in the past few days, so she really didn't have time to crack it.

"It seems that we can only wait until this fight is over to think about how to get the information in it."

Li Ji thought, and then a crisp voice interrupted his thoughts.

"I don't have to come, it's my brother who can't bear to watch his savior expose the corpse in the wilderness, so I asked me to come and collect the corpse for you!"

The only person who can say such a thing is Rebecca, Lori.

"Then you have to take care of me, maybe I'll be blown up into a pile of minced meat later, and you'll be busy by then."

Li Ji rubbed Rebecca's little head and smiled as he spoke.

"If you die, I'm sure I'll be jumping on your grave every year!"

Rebecca angrily brushed away Li Ji's big hand on his head and said angrily.

"It must be very lively!"

After saying this, Li Ji's eyes froze, and he shouted in a low voice: "The convoy is coming, everyone is scattered and hidden, don't get together!" ”

Everyone quickly dispersed according to the arranged position, and before leaving, Leah stared at Li Ji's back silently for a long time.

The convoy of military technology slowly approached, and Li Ji knew that there was his target sitting on it, the supreme person in charge of military technology in Night City, Youlan.

At the same time, he was also a high-ranking councilor in the city lord's mansion, and single-handedly planned the attack on Night City and many factories outside the city a few days ago.

"Come and taste the wrath of the ants, bastard who cares about human life!"

Watching the military technology convoy enter the ambush site, Li Ji took out his company row remote control and activated the button of the bomb.

The bomb that had been planted in advance suddenly exploded, and the roaring flames almost overturned the entire convoy.

But the military technology was not inflexible, and rows of soldiers jumped from their transports seconds after the explosion sounded, firing fiercely at all nearby areas that might be hiding humans.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Don't be in love! This is most likely an ambush by Arasaka, damn it, I didn't expect them to be so fast! ”

Yulan, who was sitting in the car, was almost frightened when he heard the explosion, almost thinking that it was Arasaka who directly called missiles to attack him.

"Are you idiots! Hurry up and start the thermal imaging to find someone! Spread out, spread out! Are you going to be a living target when you get together? ”

He didn't notice that every word he said entered Li Ji's ears word for word.

"Spread out? Nice tactics, but you probably haven't tasted mortar bombardment! ”
