Chapter 388: The Enemy
In the Civic Center, a shopping street area, the crowd was in turmoil, and the screams resounded one after another in the area, and then there were bursts of dense gunfire, and the deafening gunfire completely broke the peaceful atmosphere of the Civic Center.
The crowd surged, and innocent passers-by began to run frantically through the streets, holding down their bodies, reducing their own bomb area, and running away in panic through the streets.
More than half of the vehicles on the road have disappeared in this short period of time.
In the chaotic crowd, the members of the Tiger Claw Gang, who were dressed meticulously in suits, saw that the movement had become loud and the goal of dispersing the innocent people had been achieved, and they quickly put down the guns in their hands.
After confirming that the personnel in the area had begun to disperse and that there were no casualties, the men immediately put away their guns and left the scene according to the predetermined escape route.
As members of the Night City gang, these Tiger Claw members are well aware of the city's rules
- As long as there are no casualties, even if you do commit a crime, the NCPD will not even pay attention to you.
Even if it causes social turmoil, as long as there are no major problems or endanger the interests of the company, then you only need to stop for a while to avoid the limelight, and it is very likely that you will be safe in the future.
Therefore, as long as the NCPD can flee before the NCPD arrives at the scene, then no one will be held accountable for such small things such as shooting in the street and shooting indiscriminately into the sky without causing casualties.
Calm soon returned to the chaotic and bustling streets, and the commercial streets that used to be bustling with people were now empty.
Littered garbage stained the clean roads, shopkeepers closed their doors when the situation was bad, and the whole street was depopulated, and people hiding in buildings did not even dare to show their heads.
Minutes after the gunfire had subsided, some shopkeepers thought the shooters had left the scene.
They quietly opened the windows of the shop, trying to observe the movement outside.
However, what caught their eyes next was a Arasaka company vehicle passing on the main road, and a trauma team floating car floating in the air.
Every armed man who stepped out of the vehicle was silent and silent.
The noise from the vehicles when they were activated, and the NCPD that followed with the announcement of the announcement, immediately discouraged the shopkeepers from opening their stores again.
Soon, the Arasaka troops, who were gradually gathered on the side of the road, set up an array, and the leader of the Arasaka Action Team led by him looked around the street with a frown, his eyes scanning back and forth at the entrance of the alleys of those streets.
A 3D diagram of the area came to his mind, and if nothing happened, the abducted Arasaka management would be imprisoned in a series of buildings in front of him, and unknown enemies would most likely be ambushed in the alleys.
"If I'm not mistaken, this must be a shopping street, where have all the people gone?" The squad leader looked at his assistant beside him.
"According to the message from the NCPD, it seems that before we arrived, a group of gang members dispersed the crowd here... I don't know if it's a coincidence, but their actions have really facilitated our actions." The assistant immediately replied.
The captain bowed slightly, then looked at both sides of the road, and saw that the NCPD officers had begun to set up warning lines on the road crossing this commercial street, and began to maintain order around this commercial street.
Obviously, these NCPD officers don't seem to be trying to get into the troubled waters, most of them are just ordinary police officers, armed with a small pistol, and it is difficult to expect them to play much of a role.
However, the captain of the Arasaka Action Team had expected this, and he only sneered at NCPD's retreat, and immediately continued to look in front of him.
"Captain, when should we act?" The assistant asked.
"Don't worry, our mission this time is not to save people, but to leave all the enemies who stole the company's secrets here." The captain said indifferently:
"We just need to seal it
Lock it up and wait for the trauma team to go in, and when they're done testing the enemy's abilities, it's not too late for us to go in."
The assistant bowed slightly, turned around and instructed the other team members to put on their arms and block all exits in this area.
The goal of their outing was not to save the abducted research director from the beginning, but to ensure that the company's internal secrets would not be leaked.
Ignoring his own safety and being abducted by the enemy on the street, and putting the company's secrets at risk, is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty in the eyes of the company, and the management named Tanaka, as a project director of the research department, should be held responsible for his actions.
Therefore, starting from the motives of his own team, the team leader really has no need to act in time.
Soon, under the gaze of everyone, the floating car of the trauma team floating in mid-air slowly landed on the roof of a building as if it were looking at death.
They seem to be planning to attack from mid-air, and if they can successfully establish their position on the platform of the building, it will be easier to continue attacking the building where the target is located in the future.
The fireworks that exploded completely shattered their plan of action.
The object with a long stream of gunpowder smoke slammed into the outer shell of the floating car, and the violent explosion and shock wave almost overturned the floating car, and the front end of the body of the vehicle was raised high, and the armed personnel of the trauma team inside almost did not fly out.
But before they could stabilize their position, the missiles that followed like a torrent of rain poured over them seemed to be pouring over them without money.
The flames and smoke that rose one after another also formed a series of dark clouds in mid-air.
The floton's countermeasures system was finally activated, and the electromagnetic device created a dense power grid to block most of the missiles, and the driver struggled to dodge the missiles.
However, in the face of the dense number of missiles fired from the rooftop, no matter how strong the defensive countermeasures are, they still cannot avoid the risk of being hit after all.
The trauma team was completely defeated.
The broken floating car almost fell apart and fell headlong on the road - if it hadn't been for the other party's sudden timely stopping, they wouldn't even have a chance to fall.
Fortunately, the completely destroyed floating car did not cause a detonation, and several members of the trauma team who had escaped with the help of a cushion device staggered out, and issued a hoarse warning to the colleagues who came after.
"This kind of firepower... Which company is it?"
The captain of the action team, who stood at the bottom of the building and witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but clench his fists, and his heart was filled with anger.
High-heat explosives are rarely available in Night City, and even regular corporate security forces are rarely equipped with explosive weapons capable of wreaking havoc on city buildings.
And those marginalized people who usually only eat the "scraps" of the company, most of their weapons and equipment are obtained by attacking the company's armed personnel or purchased in weapons stores.
How could they still have the heavy firepower of such an explosion?
"Captain, the enemy has explosive-type heavy weapons, and we can't establish air superiority by arming vehicles such as floating vehicles... What's next? Directly execute the breach?" The assistant asked calmly.
The captain stared coldly in the direction of the rooftop, but due to the angle, he could not see the enemy on the rooftop.
"Arrange for snipers to be on standby in nearby high-rise buildings at all times, and once the enemy shows up on the rooftop of the building, directly order them to fire, they are now hiding in the building, even if they have heavy weapons, they can't use them casually."
"Others, come with me!"
