"Ding! Earn a base point reward and hand over Joanne Koch, the head of biotechnology R&D, to Arasaka without being discovered, rewarding 50 points. Current progress is 1/1. ”

A familiar system chime echoed in David's head.

It also means that the task on their side has been completely completed.

Stand on the rooftop of a biotech company's hotel.

Watching the hidden floating loading box disappear into the sky, even David couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At present, although the mission process on both sides of him and Jack is a little twisty and tortuous, it is progressing smoothly according to the original plan.

After putting on his exoskeleton mechanical magic weapon, Jack directly completed this stealth mission like a god.

And interestingly, even the second before Joanne was stunned, she didn't understand why her act of secretly calling security would have no effect.

After a brief fuss, Jack directly rewarded her with the other party's favorite big mouth.

And David himself directly swept away all kinds of high-end instruments in the hotel, and sent the genetically modified rice seeds needed by Jiang Chen to the group in the form of red envelopes.

Soon, the two of them left the scene of the crime after putting on invisibility cloaks, and the signal jammer was canceled.

V's call came as soon as possible.

"You guys did a great job! The biotechnology side hasn't found out that their company hotel has given you Huo Huo yet, and now they want to dump the pot, and they have no tricks at all! ”

"Jenkins is very satisfied with your work efficiency, and the reward will be increased by another 20% when the concrete evidence is available."

As soon as he heard this, Jack was immediately refreshed.

directly hugged David's shoulders and cheered at him excitedly.

"My mother, 100,000 euros will be increased by 20%? David, we are developed, I know that following you will definitely have a future! ”

That's 120,000 euros!

It's enough for him to do tasks for a year or two!

And now they have only been following David for more than ten days, and this income has basically gone into their pockets!

This made Jack, who had been fighting almost all his life, worship David's methods even more.

Of course.

This small amount of extra reward is obviously not a big deal for David, who is already a big dog.

However, this move by V's boss is obviously also a show of goodwill to him, indicating that the other party has recognized their strength.

This is what makes David really feel rewarding.

Because this also means that as long as the next finishing work is successfully completed, then the line here in Arasaka can be completely built.

is naturally one step closer to him stepping into the top middleman.

And after seeing Jack's performance, V couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face.

Although her first impression of David was not very good before, now the other party has proved his value and strength with facts.

Letting Jack follow the other party is obviously much more reliable than the guy messing around on his own.

So it seems.

In the future, I can say a few more good words for them, so that Jenkins can also give more blood as a reward for future cooperation.

However, the future planning will obviously have to wait until later.

Although David's task has been completed, there is obviously a small process left to complete his commission.

That is, when Mann's body is also delivered to them, this matter can be considered completely over.

Thinking of this, V also continued to ask the two of them.

"By the way, what's going on with Team Mann right now?"

"They already said they got the body, so I guess we should be on our way back now."

David replied as he dialed Mann's phone directly.

After all, V happened to be calling now, so it would be better for Mann to report the situation directly to V's employer, and save himself the need to relay it later.

To David's surprise, however, it was.

When the phone rang for a moment, Mann's side was connected, but the voice from the other party made David's expression change slightly.

Because it wasn't Mann's trademark gruff voice that came to everyone's ears first, but a loud roar of guns and the roar of the nocturnal wanderer.

Such an engagement was obviously not a normal thing for Mann Team, who had already obtained the corpses.

No doubt.

When David and the others were in action just now, Mann Team also encountered some unexpected situations.

Thinking of this, David immediately asked Mann in a little anxious.

"Mann, what's going on over there?"

It was clear from the voice that had just come from Mann's side.

They must be being chased by a group of nocturnal ghosts right now, which is why they didn't answer the phone so late.

After hearing David's words, Mann didn't have any ink and directly reported the situation on his side to the other party.

"We seem to have been betrayed by the inner ghosts in the red ochre, and now the army of nocturnal ghosts is about to surround us."

On the periphery of the sandstorm with yellow sand fluttering in the sky.

A speeding off-road pickup truck is being wildly strafed by more than a dozen night wanderers riding on cool motorcycles at the moment.

Behind these motorcycle vanguards, a huge convoy looms on the edge of a sandstorm.

No doubt.

The man chasing Mann was clearly the huge convoy of Night Wanderers.

After Mann loads the corpse onto his vehicle.

They chose to return as soon as possible.

And yet even so.

They were still attacked by these nocturnal ghosts on the outskirts of the sandstorm.

If it weren't for the information that was detected in advance by relying on the magic weapons given by David.

Now they are afraid that they have been completely surrounded by the huge convoy of night wandering ghosts.

But even if it was a short time to escape.

But for the nocturnal ghosts fighting on the mainland, it was obviously only a matter of time before they wanted to pull Mann Team and his party into the encirclement again.

Now that David was finally able to get in touch, Mann naturally waited anxiously for the other party's arrangement.

This bad situation directly made David's brows wrinkle all of a sudden.

He saw that Mann and the others shared their positions, and even in the case of running in both directions, it would take more than half an hour to meet the other party.

This meant that Mann and the others had to survive the more than half an hour on their own.

If the opponent is just a nocturnal ghost, then with his own Sac Smoke Bomb, David believes that Mann and they should be able to hold on for a little time.

But here's the problem.

Although the current night wanderer ghost doesn't think it's a big deal, he hasn't even notified the biotechnology side.

But if the time drags on too long, or it is hit hard by your own army of flowers.

In that case, the nocturnal ghosts will surely seek help from biotechnology.

If he can't join Mann and the others before the support of biotechnology, then there is only a dead end for them.

Thinking of this, David asked V as he rushed to the road with Jack to call for a Dlamain taxi.

"V, can you protect Mann over there?"

If Arasaka can help in this operation, things will obviously be much easier.

However, V shook his head apologetically and continued.

"The stinking cousin of Abernaci is stuck with us all the time, and it should be unrealistic for our support to reach the confines of the Badlands."

But with that said, V thought for a few seconds before continuing.

"But if you can get into the confines of Night City, then we can protect you no matter how much biotechnology makes trouble."

The implication of this sentence is that if you want Arasaka to help, you need to at least send the evidence to Night City.

Although it still hasn't solved the urgent need, it can be regarded as a relatively good way to deal with it.

After all, even David was confident that he could single-handedly wipe out the Kang Tao army hired by biotechnology.

But if you do that, it's going to be a bit too big.

Obviously, the best solution to the struggle between companies is to leave it to them to bite each other.

And if you only go to the outskirts of Night City, the time is relatively less urgent.

After receiving this exact answer, David also said to Mann.

"I've rushed over to you now, hold on a little longer! I really can't do it, and then throw out that secret weapon I gave you. ”

In response to David's reply, Mann was slightly stunned for a moment, and then fired back at the night wanderer behind him, and asked suspiciously.

"Secret weapon? Oh, that little ball, yes! But David, what the hell is that? ”

David replied without even thinking about it.

"A very good smoke grenade."

In the sac he gave Mann, he installed a secret large-scale smoke dispersion device, as well as dozens of one-time self-detonation enhancements.

It can be thrown and sprayed, and it can also make the enemy completely lose their sense of direction.

Isn't this just a smoke bomb?

As for Ruhua, who can be military, this hole card David doesn't want to reveal to Mann Squad for the time being.

After all, the people of Mann Team have cooperated with him, but they are obviously not their own people who can be fully trusted like Jack.

Just like Qi Wei, who didn't come to participate in the operation this time, this little thing is a staunch two-five-boy warrior.

Therefore, it is still necessary to be cautious and need to be kept.

When this operation is over, he will also explain this matter to Mann and the others again.

Then formally bring those who can be trusted into their own forces.

But what David thinks of Mann doesn't know, the only thing he knows now is.

The mysterious secret weapon that David left him was actually just a smoke bomb???

Boy.

No matter how strong the smoke bombs are, how strong can they be, according to the current situation, they will be exploded in less than half an hour.

What can a smoke bomb do?

However, after David finished telling the relevant matters, he had already hung up the phone and started to rush at full speed.

So Mann had to accept the fact that he was present.

"How? Is there a solution to this situation? The old lady can tell you that in another twenty minutes at most, or even less, the army behind will catch up! ”

Panan shook off the motorcycle next to him in snakeskin, and asked Mann at a rapid pace.

To this, Mann replied in a slightly embarrassed whisper.

"Well, David probably won't be there for a while, and he's going to use the secret weapon he gave us if we can't hold it anymore."

Hearing this, Panan's face was immediately overjoyed.

"Roar! Secret weapon, I love the word! So what's the secret weapon? ”

Even the props that David took out were so useful, let alone such a mysterious secret weapon.

In this way, this small crisis should be able to save the day.

However, Mann's answer completely froze the smile on her face.

"It's a smoke bomb"

"! You're kidding me, aren't you? Smoke grenades are also called secret weapons? ￥%#@%”

Although after hearing that smoke bombs were the secret weapon, Panan's Zuan Soul had already begun to burn.

But she did her job brilliantly.

It took more than twenty minutes for Mann and his party to fight back before they gradually fell into the encirclement of the opponent's large army under the encirclement and suppression of the night wandering ghosts.

"The ammunition has long been gone, only the bullets of the pistol remain."

Dolio looked at the already empty combat preparation material, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

A dignified atmosphere has quietly swept everyone's hearts.

At the moment the ammunition is almost exhausted, and everyone is already wounded to a greater or lesser extent.

In such a situation, it is clear that being surrounded by nocturnal ghosts is already the worst-case scenario.

Even those nocturnal ghosts who surrounded them had already playfully given up their firepower suppression at this moment, and were ready to directly stop them and capture them alive.

If they fall into the hands of these cannibals alive, what will happen to them is no longer what they can imagine at this moment.

However, it still takes some time for David to arrive, and the only way they can fight back seems to be the secret weapon that has been sneered at all the way by Panan.

"I can't hold it anymore."

After glancing at everyone's poor state, Mann wiped the dried blood from his face before pulling the small black ball out of his pocket.

Now it's life or death, but it all depends on whether this smoke bomb is as powerful as David said.

Come to think of it.

Mann gritted his teeth and poked his upper body out of the skylight again, and then slammed the "smoke bomb" in his hand into the huge convoy of nocturnal ghosts behind him.

Such a last resort of resistance naturally shocked the hearts of the night wandering ghosts, but after seeing the thick smoke that expanded and spread in an instant.

A loud and loud laugh instantly rang out in the convoy.

Only then do you throw smoke bombs at this time?

I'm afraid that this big man has already scared them into mental problems, hahahahahaha!

However, the laughter apparently did not last long.

When the nocturnal ghosts noticed that the expanding smoke was actually enveloping them as if it had life.

A strange feeling swept through their bodies.

You must know that they are moving at high speed now, and the smoke from the smoke bomb cannot have such an effect!

However, it was clearly too late to realize that something was wrong.

Under such a dense fog that completely covered the line of sight, the huge convoy instantly became their most fatal weakness.

Vehicles that couldn't see the route collided wildly, and then further formed a domino effect and collided with countless vehicles behind them.

The sound of the crash and the explosion of vehicles echoed through the empty land in an instant.

"Thermography !!"

The roar of the leader of the Night Wanderer reverberated through every vehicle shrouded in thick fog.

This prevented further deterioration of the situation.

However, as they all exhaled, they didn't notice that countless strange creatures invisible to the thermal imaging were already lying around their car windows or doors like ghosts.

The next moment.

One by one, like a demon in the fog, they had already smashed the windows of the car and then vented their deadly fire into the car.

"What the hell is this???

"Ahhh What the hell!!"

", help!!"

All of a sudden.

The dense firing and cries for help instantly echoed in the originally large convoy.

Round after round of vehicles or flower-like explosions, like thunder flashing in the dark clouds, constantly appeared in the smoke.

Under the influence of this.

Even the encirclement that had been strictly guarded against Thunder had completely collapsed at this moment.

It was easy for Panan to drive the Thunderbolt out of the smoke and the range of the Night Wanderer.

After a long distance from the convoy of the Night Wanderer, Panan finally shifted his gaze to the team behind him, which was almost two-thirds less.

Even if she was just watching the play from the outside, she could clearly feel how strange this so-called secret weapon was.

Come to think of it.

Panam pointed to the crippled convoy of Night Wanderers behind him, and looked at Mann with a strange expression.

"You call this a smoke bomb?"
