Chapter 103: The Rain Falls
When night falls, Night City is once again transformed into a colorful world of neon lights and glittering billboards, and the road from the Afterlife Bar to the Company Square is brightly lit and the road is full of cars.
The black-and-gold taxis drive on the road, like a panther hidden in the night, and only when they pass through a small area of light illuminated by street lamps will they reveal their luxurious luxury.
Lin Mo sat in the back seat of the car, his eyes were solemn, as if a student was about to usher in a major exam that would determine the future trajectory of his life.
"I said Lin Mo, you dislike my car so much? Even if this car is not as good as your sword in the stone, the price in the market is not cheap, as for taking that combat taxi? ”
Just as Lin Mo was wondering if there was anything missing in tonight's action, Mann's voice suddenly came from his ears.
Before leaving, Mann had already linked him to an encrypted channel, so that the two of them could talk to each other at any time within a certain range.
"No, I just think that tonight's operation could be unexpected, and the choice of combat taxis is also to prevent that." Lin Mo replied calmly.
"If you want me to say, you just haven't adapted to the industry of marginal people, how can we people on the street use money to pave the way to work like you, you have this young master mentality, I think you have to learn to change, in my experience, tonight's action will never go wrong." Mann said earnestly.
As it stands, the riskiest part of the mission will not be inside the building, but outside the building.
No one knows whether biotechnology will send people back to check the situation during this time, and once such an unexpected time occurs, the personnel waiting outside to watch the wind must take on the task of covering and intercepting.
As for the interior of the building, the building's security system will not be turned on for the duration of the jammer, and the danger is not that high.
Therefore, in Mann's opinion, Lin Mo's overly cautious move was completely superfluous.
Lin Mo didn't reply immediately, after all, he could understand Mann's mood at this time.
Marginal people are such professions, including all kinds of people from three religions and nine streams, and the quality of personnel is also uneven, but as long as they are mixed up, they can basically earn a lot of commissions.
Today at the Afterlife Bar, he also collected a lot of superficial information.
For example, street gangsters, gang members, or ordinary mercenaries who are out on the streets may also have the opportunity to receive commissions from intermediaries if the time is right.
Different intermediaries naturally have different jobs in their hands, but the commission can be roughly divided into several grades.
For the lowest level of entrustment, the commission is generally only a few hundred to thousands, which is not much, but it is also half of the average monthly salary of ordinary people.
The commission of the second class is tens of thousands, and the completion of an order is basically a few months of eating and drinking.
And the business list that can appear in the afterlife bar, the commissions are all counted in the tens of thousands, which is a job that can only be taken by elites.
As for the most high-end commission, it has to be counted up to 100,000 euros, and it is almost impossible for a single person to eat, and it must be cooperated by teammates, and this kind of list is often called "big order" among the marginal population.
So in Mann's view, Lin Mo's behavior of advancing money to do things is not like a marginal person at all, and it is even difficult to understand.
"Why is the signal of this Shabi channel so bad, Lin Mo, can you hear me?"
After not hearing a reply for a long time, Mann whispered a few more words, and his voice rose a lot.
"I can hear it, as for tonight's action, I know it in my heart, don't worry." Lin Mo replied.
No matter how much he explained, it was impossible for Mann, who was born in different classes, to fully understand himself, and Lin Mo still saw this very clearly.
Even his sister, who has been eating and living with him for 8 years, can't understand his behavior, and now Lin Mo doesn't force others to understand him, he just needs to do his own thing.
"Although it is very immoral to say this, I have to say in advance that this is your personal behavior, and I have no way to reimburse you for renting a combat taxi." Mann explained helplessly.
"I know you don't have to worry about that, I just don't want any more accidents tonight." Lin Mo said.
Stealing information in the biotechnology building tonight, if it is successfully completed, the commission is only 60,000, and he really doesn't like this money.
No, even the so-called big list, he doesn't look down on it at all.
All he needs to do is to use money to clear some obstacles for himself in a moderate amount of money to the extent that Mann, Rebecca, Sasha and others can't understand, but not to alienate himself.
"By the way, when we get to the company square, we will pick up Sasha outside, she can take care of everything inside the building by herself, what we need to do is to place a jammer outside to prevent someone from entering the building from the outside, you haven't forgotten this plan!" Mann said again.
"Doesn't you really need me to go in and help Sasha?" Lin Mo frowned.
"You're not used to this kind of action, let's be honest and stay outside, if there is a jammer and the internal alarm is not triggered, the risk inside the building will not be much higher than outside, Sasha is enough to deal with alone, you will only drag her down when you go in." Mann said.
"Who knows if that four-eyed boy is reliable." Lin Modi muttered.
Mann laughed and said helplessly:
"I don't think that guy is pleasing to the eye, but it is undeniable that he is the best intermediary in the area, and if his intelligence goes wrong, it will not do him any good."
Lin Mo could only promise in silence.
The deeds given on the simulator are also ambiguous, and it is unclear whether the so-called "trouble" is inside the building or outside.
When the time comes, he will have to improvise, whether it is something on Mann's side or Sasha's side, he will not tolerate this kind of thing happening.
In the equipment bag that Sasha was carrying, he also put a small gift in it, even if there was an accident inside the building, it should be able to support her for a while.
The two exchanged information and took a ride in the car, and finally came to the bottom of the biotechnology building located in the company square.
......
Park the car on the side of the road and make your way to the roundabout area of the plaza, where Mann sets off on his own, trying to find a suitable position to crouch into.
Lin Mo parked the taxi in the most suitable running position, took off the backpack on the car, and then walked to the bottom of the roundabout stairs more than 100 meters away from the gate of the building according to the position given by Mann.
Above the roundabout is a pedestrian path and a belt of greenery, and on the way to each company building is a suspended "bridge road", and below is the road where cars come and go.
Looking at the familiar environment, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny.
After all, he often came here to go to school during the day.
But now?
He's probably going to make a big news.
"Just wait here, if anyone walks over and tries to enter the building, then the two of us will stop him!"
Mann walked to the entrance of the building and crouched, silently looking out at the entrance of the Biotech Building.
"Has the jammer been activated? Sasha, why didn't I see her. ”
Compared with Mann's carelessness, Lin Mo was extremely serious, asked two questions in a row, and casually threw the backpack on his body to the ground.
"The jammer wasn't on me, Sasha was carrying it, and she was carrying that hacking equipment bag with some other equipment inside." Mann points in the direction of the Biotech Building.
"Just now, knowing that we were waiting here, she had already walked in."
"How many minutes has it been in?" Lin Mo tightened his body, and his hand unconsciously grasped the hilt of the katana at his waist.
"Just got in, everything should be going well now, you can talk to her on the channel." Mann said casually.
Lin Mo nodded, turned around and asked on the channel: "Sasha, there's nothing wrong with you over there, is everything going well?" ”
"It's fine." Sasha replied briefly.
Hearing a brief reply of only two words, Lin Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't continue to ask, after all, people are now acting alone, and they need to concentrate on dealing with possible unknown risks, and it is impossible to be distracted from answering the inquiries of their teammates.
"Be safe and be sure to return within the duration of the jammer." Lin Mo continued.
It seems that the accident has not happened yet, and the deeds on the simulator also show that everything is going well in the early stages of the operation, and it seems that the situation will take a turn for the worse until later.
Tick.
A drop of wet water fell from the sky and hit Lin Mo's hair, and the air gradually filled the air with a trace of cold and wet rain.
Lin Mo raised his head and looked up at the sky, there were no shining stars in the dark night sky, dark clouds covered the sky of the Night City at some point, and the rolling thunder shook the heavens and the earth, coming from a distant place, as if the heavens and the earth were playing a rhythm in unison.
It's raining.
