Chapter 152: Magic! It must be magic!
Can a smoke grenade make a difference in a fierce car chase?
Normally, it's obviously not very good.
But the smoke bomb in David's mouth is obviously not a normal smoke bomb.
So it's not hard to understand that negative is positive.
But such an easy to understand fact is obviously an extremely incomprehensible thing for Mann Team and the tormented nocturnal ghosts behind them.
A smoke bomb annihilated more than a dozen modified heavy off-road vehicles and severely damaged the arrogance of the remaining night wanderers.
This kind of unbelievable result is as outrageous as Aunt Cappuccino, who directly carried Grandpa Lu away with seventeen cards.
Faced with Panan's strange question, Mann couldn't help but pretend to be calm with his trembling hands, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and then looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and replied.
"You just say this. Smoke grenades don't work, and it's over. ”
Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, Mann's heart was already roaring wildly at this moment.
Smoke grenades of GodTM!
If it weren't for the fact that a ghost-like face slashed against the window of the car in front of him just as he rushed out of the smoke, maybe he would have really believed David's nonsense.
As for why such a ghost can pop out of a smoke bomb?
As a staunch materialist warrior, Mann decisively changed his faith when faced with such an incomprehensible truth.
Magic, it must be magic!
No wonder David didn't tell them about this at the beginning, after all, it was the other party who said it, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe it.
Thinking about the differences that Lucy had told him about David before, Mann was now more sure of his thoughts.
But since he has discovered the truth, he should also keep it a secret for the trust of the other party.
Thinking of this, Mann folded his hands around his chest, and felt like he had gradually understood everything.
In this regard, Lucy on the side did not speak.
But the only one who had seen David's cultivation was the first to react to Mann's meaningful eyes.
There could be no mistake, David was definitely using some kind of power that they couldn't understand, and Mann knew it.
Was it something related to the strange abilities David displayed that day?
In this way, perhaps David's statement that he wants to change this society is not the enthusiasm she imagined.
The other party trusts them so much, should he also keep this secret for him?
Even though this idea sounds silly in Night City, Lucy inexplicably chooses to help David.
Thinking of this, she and Mann looked at each other with a sympathetic glance and nodded slightly.
Although the two of them were thinking about the same thing at all, they inexplicably came to the right conclusion at the moment and began to shift the current topic.
This couldn't help but make the rest of the people, who were already confused, feel more deeply impressed by this "smoke bomb" and the David who made it.
Obviously.
Team Mann wasn't just impressed by this terrifying secret weapon.
The terrible night wandering ghosts have been completely destroyed by this sudden attack at this moment.
They are such a big convoy, close to the people of the small hundred!
There's even a lot of heavy armed forces, as well as a bunch of the latest technology from the company.
After eating a weird smoke bomb from the other party, there were only a dozen cars left that could be called old, weak, sick and disabled?
What an international joke!
Thinking of this, Holder, who is the current leader of the night wandering ghosts, kicked the deputy who was already cold next to him with a hideous face and kicked off his car.
With the nickname of vulture, he has always been the only one who commands the night wanderer to eat the corpse of the target, how can he be injured by the prey!
Originally, he thought that this would still be an easy hunt as before.
However, in the thick fog just now, he broke into the car like a demon and shot at him like a flower, but he taught the night wandering ghost leader a hard lesson.
If it weren't for his quick eyes, he used the deputy next to him as his own meat shield and threw the Ruhua that was about to explode out of the car in time.
I'm afraid that even he himself will die under this strange attack.
However, even so, the bakugan kid who got into the car at some point still taught him a hard lesson.
Let this vulture, who is notorious in the bad land, officially become a funny leftover old man at this moment.
Although he watched Holder cover his crotch and start a new round of impotent rage, the little brother next to him still reported the current situation to the other party in a panic.
"Boss, the biotechnology side still can't be contacted!"
Apparently.
The biotechnologists who were supposed to be in charge of connecting with them had now been slaughtered by two unknown people who had infiltrated the company's hotel.
However, this point, the people of the night wandering ghosts obviously don't know, they just think that the other party has dropped the chain at a critical moment.
After hearing this bad news, Holder's expression immediately became more and more angry.
"Fuck! Lao Tzu knew that the stinky watch would be unreliable at a critical moment!! ”
"! Then contact military technology, if these dogs really run away with corpses, don't think about any of those company dogs! ”
Their team has already suffered a heavy blow from the blow just now, and even if they are paid enough this time, it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time.
Now Holder doesn't want to continue this cat-and-mouse game, which has gotten out of control.
They couldn't have taken any bigger losses!
So you have to let the people in the company take the next risk.
"Military technology? Boss, if you offend these people, we won't have a good time in the future! ”
Boom!
Without any extra nonsense, Holder directly shot this chattering nocturnal ghost member.
Then he turned to the other person beside him and growled.
"Damn, what the are you doing!! Don't you see that labor and management are annoying? Hurry up and contact that slut in Meredes for labor! ”
Still offended military technology?
If you really let these mercenaries who came out of nowhere escape, then the matter is really serious.
It's the opposite.
As long as those guys haven't taken the body away completely, then the matter is still within the scope of the company dogs.
He can still tell which is more important and which is more important.
Soon, there was a rush of contact from subordinates.
Immediately afterward, a serious woman wearing a black-and-gray military technology uniform with short brown hair was displayed from the screen in the car.
Merades Stout.
Head of Operations for the Military Technology Group and the Military Tech Executive in Project Nightingale responsible for connecting with Joanne Koch.
If this incident happened, in addition to biotechnology, military science and technology will also have bad luck.
And the military science and technology executive in charge of the docking of this plan naturally would never want to see such a situation.
"It's you, the nocturnal ghost who works with that woman in biotechnology, give you ten seconds to explain why you're looking for me."
Merrides thinks she has a good memory, especially with a brain-assisted prosthesis, and she doesn't forget important things about her.
But the leader of the night wanderer in front of him obviously didn't have much connection with her, so Meredes obviously didn't take the other party very seriously.
However, Holder's harsh speech next obviously made her feel that something was wrong.
"Ten seconds? I'm going to it! If you don't want you dogs to poke out of the red ochre thing, send reinforcements to labor and management! ”
Holder clearly knew that once this incident was leaked, these company dogs would definitely be more nervous than him.
With a handle in his hand, he naturally became stiff when he spoke.
And hearing the other party's speech, Merrides obviously realized that something was wrong.
"What do you mean? What happened to Joanne Coch? ”
As soon as he said this, Holder felt even angrier.
"Fuck those biotech shit, I can't get in touch right now!"
"Labor and management can tell you that the bodies that were drugged have now been snatched by a group of mercenaries, and if your support doesn't come again, they'll run away!"
Hearing this, Meredes' eyes turned completely cold.
Although she now wants to directly throw the noisy night wanderer on the other side of the phone into the cement and throw it into the sea.
But one thing the other side said is true.
That is, the evidence of this plan must not be leaked into the hands of hostile forces.
Although the main person in charge of the project is from the biotechnology side, once the matter is exposed.
Military technology as a collaborator will also be affected.
As a project docking person, I will definitely be affected by it at that time.
Case.
Let's wait for this matter of dumping this garbage full of excrement into the sea until this matter is resolved.
Thinking of this, Merades finally spoke slowly again.
"I've already contacted the nearest Kangtao security guard to rush over to support, you wait for a while, and later someone from my side will also go over to recover the relevant evidence."
"And there's a rift passage ahead, as long as you drive people inside, wait a minute, Kangtao's people will help you block them on the other side."
"It's pretty much the same, so hurry up with your guys."
Before Holder could finish scolding, Merrides had already hung up the call first.
It's not because of the tone of the angry other party, after all, whether this operation is successful or not, Holder is already a dead person in her eyes.
and a dead man to get angry, which is clearly not in her style.
It's because something so big has happened, and Joanne Cocci's side still hasn't reacted at all.
No, it should be said that there has been no reaction from the biotechnology side, which is obviously an extremely strange thing.
With her knowledge of Night City, if it weren't for the fact that the biotech side wanted to play with their military technology and blow themselves up.
The only possibility is that Joanne Cocchi has had an accident without biotechnology noticing.
If that's really the case, then in this period of hollow time when biotechnology reacts.
Then there are many ways she can deal with it.
Even in the worst case, at least she can be guaranteed to get out of this situation that threatens to collapse.
However, the ability to quietly deal with Joanne Cocchi is obviously extremely rare in Night City.
But now is not the time to think about these inconsequential questions.
The key is to quickly collect all the information and arrange the tasks.
Thinking of this, Meredes immediately frowned and issued an order to his subordinates to assemble and investigate.
Then he left his office and personally commanded his subordinates to operate at full strength.
and on the other side of the Bad Soil.
After the baptism of secret weapons, the night wandering ghosts have completely given up their plans to chase and fight at this moment.
It was only after confirming that Mann and the others were close to running out of oil and running out of lamps that they drove them in the direction of the Great Rift Valley that they had planned.
After all, on the other side of the rift, a semi-mechanized security force from Kang Tao was already deployed.
If the troops of these companies fight the damn mercenaries, they will naturally be able to sit on the sidelines and prevent the mercenaries from pulling out something strange to attack them.
Even if you don't know much about this strategy of the nocturnal ghost.
But after having used up the secret weapon, Mann and the others are naturally happy to have a short delay time without fighting.
Although the leader of the nocturnal ghost behind him, who calls himself a vulture, looks like he is spewing trash talk with a loudspeaker, and he is as beaten as he is.
However, the matter of revenge is obviously not something that they can think about when they only have pistol ammunition left.
It is precisely because of this that even if they know that the other party has driven them into the Great Rift Valley, there must be something wrong.
At present, Mann and his party obviously have no other choice before David's support arrives.
However, while everyone was enjoying this short period of "peace", the next moment Lucy, who was observing the detection artifact through the eyepiece, suddenly changed her expression.
"Oh no, there's an ambush ahead, it's Kangtao's troops!"
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly put on the eyepiece again and then watched the picture transmitted back from the eyepiece.
For a moment, after seeing the semi-mechanized army that shone in the metallic color of the sun.
Everyone's hearts were half cold.
No doubt.
Just by looking at it, they could know that the Kangtao army in front of them, which was less than a three-minute drive away, was definitely much stronger than the night wandering ghost convoy behind them.
In their current state, I'm afraid they won't even be able to beat even one of the opponent's armored vehicles.
Not to mention a heavily armed army!
All of a sudden.
Even the most grumpy Panan bit his lower lip at this moment, and then threw away the eyepieces, his eyes showing a strong look of unwillingness, but he sighed and said nothing more.
She knew they had done their best.
Being able to accomplish the feat just now with the strength of a few people is already remarkable.
It's just that the power of the company is obviously more desperate than they think.
This is Night City.
This is the Free City.
Thinking of this, Panan couldn't help but show a sneering look, and then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
"Fuck, it's a blast with their group of bitches!"
And Rebecca repeated her surprise at this moment.
"! Their group of bitches are bursting!! ”
"Tsk! It's with them that they exploded, not that they exploded. ”
"No, they blew up!! Brake, brake quickly!! ”
Rebecca, who was in a hurry, directly swung her tail with a dragon and then threw the eyepiece back onto Panan's head.
The next moment.
Look at the image coming from the eyepiece.
Panan's expression changed suddenly, and then he stepped on the brake and pulled down the handbrake in a panic.
I saw that in their eyepieces, the Kangtao army, which was originally ready to go, was now like the scene of a fireworks show, constantly blooming dazzling fireworks.
In the midst of the wails of the Kangtao soldiers and the roar of the explosions.
A communication message finally came into everyone's minds, making them all subconsciously relieved.
David: We're here.
