The last rays of the setting sun have also quietly dissipated in the distance of the horizon.

However, even so, the scorching fireball continued to fall from the sky like Hou Yi shooting the sun.

Looking at the octant that smashed into the ground like a meteor, Mann immediately took off his sunglasses in shock, and repeatedly confirmed the incredible scene in front of him before he exclaimed loudly.

"Oh my God! David, I said when did your marksmanship become so awesome! ”

He hasn't forgotten David a while ago, and he was still a novice marksman who couldn't even play with smart firearms.

How long has it been, and the other party has grown into a marksman who can pierce three and four with one bullet?

What's more, the other party still seems to have an original body!

What an outrageous talent!

However, Lucy is not so naïve about this.

The prosthetic body in her eyes can still see some ballistic trajectories clearly, plus she knows David's special abilities.

So I guessed at once that the other party had done work directly on the bullet.

But this is obviously even more shocking.

Is gravity or the control of magnetic fields?

An ability like this that she could only hear of in Arasaka or the most advanced fighting machines in military technology.

But David is clearly not a robot, so how exactly did he do it?

Under the amazed gaze of everyone.

David also handed the gun back to Panam, and then looked at the curious looks of the others at the moment and casually made up a joking reason, trying to alleviate the strange atmosphere now.

"This is a secret technique from the Far East, the art of gun fighting."

"Shake the gun body at the moment of firing, and let the barrel change the angle of the bullet to achieve the effect of turning the bullet."

Hearing this, Rebecca immediately saw countless little stars in her eyes.

"Oh oh! I still have this skill, so I'm going to try it when I go back!! ”

And after Lucy heard David's speech, the corners of her mouth brought a little inexplicable smile, and then she looked at each other directly.

Although he didn't say a word, he seemed to have said everything, which directly made David touch the tip of his nose weakly.

I almost forgot, this little girl seems to have seen her own cultivation.

Then it's a little embarrassing.

Then David snorted and stopped looking at the picture that made his toes buckle slightly.

"Hahaha, if you want to learn from me and teach you later."

Hearing this, Lucy finally spoke.

"I remember."

The ability to snuff out cigarettes in the air and even make bullets turn.

She wanted to take a good look at what kind of medicine was sold in David's gourd.

As for gunfighting?

Only children believe it!

Although the current atmosphere seems to have eased a little.

But this was only a temporary effect of David's impressive record.

Although no one mentioned it.

But everyone knew that what was about to happen was actually the most dangerous moment of their operation.

Because they're about to face the superpower of Night City, the armed army of military technology!

It's the only super company in Night City that can compete head-on with Arasaka's power!

If things don't go the way they should have gotten a little bit.

Then there is a high probability that their little lives will be explained here.

No matter how brilliant the previous record was, it was suppressed by the combat power of such a top company.

The power of the individual can only be destroyed.

Come to think of it.

The interior of the car, which was still a little lively, once again returned to its original depressing atmosphere.

Everyone stared at the Night City bayonet that was getting closer and closer to them.

Even David drove the alchemy with all his might.

Gather strength for the final battle that may come.

That's when it happened.

Rebecca's exclamation suddenly shattered the eerie calm in the car.

"There's a military-tech float car driving up!"

Hearing this, everyone noticed that a small black dot had grown in their field of vision.

It was a black-robed luxury business float with a yellow military-tech paint on one side of the door.

This style of floating car even requires hundreds of thousands of euros even if it has the lowest configuration, and the commercial value behind it is obviously the bulk of its high price compared to the actual function.

No doubt.

Such a special car, even in military technology, is definitely not something that everyone can afford.

Under the vigilant gaze of everyone, the floating car slowly landed in front of them, and then forced Panan's Thunder to stop in a way that was close to brutality.

Immediately afterwards, under the protection of three military technology soldiers in black combat uniforms, a woman with a grim expression and her hands in front of her also walked out of the floating car.

Long blonde hair, and the signature leather field suit.

At the moment of seeing the face of the comer.

David recognized the other man's identity.

Merades Stout.

Head of Operations of the Military Technology Group.

At the same time, the other party is also a military technology executive who docked with Joanne Couch in the Nightingale Project!

In this way, the purpose of the other party coming alone is extremely clear.

"Are you finally willing to show up? David Martinez. ”

"I have to say, you actually look younger than I thought."

Looking at David who walked down from the Thunder alone, Merrides' eyes couldn't help but flash a little appreciation.

It's a talent to be able to plan such a plan at such a young age.

"Director Merrides, you're a lot braver than I thought."

Listen to David's slightly threatening words.

Several soldiers beside Merades immediately pointed their guns at David to prevent the other party from making any next move.

However, this unreasonable act was soon stopped by the arrogant director.

I saw Merrides directly push away the soldiers who protected her behind her, and then stepped on her black high heels and walked straight in front of David, looking at David condescendingly.

"Very good, it seems that we all know the roots, so I'll get straight to the point."

"I need those corpses, I don't know what Arasaka paid you, but if you give me this million euros, it's yours."

As he spoke, Meredes motioned for the soldier behind him to open a leather suitcase.

It was clearly filled with stacks of green bills.

Such a scene directly widened Jack's eyes in shock, who had just recovered from lying on the roof of the car.

1 million euros!!

It's directly ten times higher than the initial reward given to them by Arasaka!

With this money, even in Night City, you can live a top-notch life of drunken gold fans!

If it weren't for David standing in front of Meredes at this moment, Jack would have wanted to agree directly for the other party.

Looking at Jack's reaction, the corners of Merades' mouth couldn't help but curve slightly.

With Merrides' knowledge of Arasaka, it is absolutely impossible for them to pay more than themselves for such a task.

As mercenary mercenaries, it is understandable for David to choose a higher salary, and if this can solve this conflict, it will naturally be the best.

But in this regard, David only shook his head indifferently.

Seeing that David gave the answer so decisively, Merrides couldn't help but show a little surprise.

"Are you worried that we will rebel or that Arasaka will retaliate against you?"

As he spoke, Merrides whispered in an ambiguous gesture as he put his face close to David's ear again.

"I appreciate your abilities, as long as you come to military technology, I guarantee that my position will be yours soon."

"You should know that what we lack more in military science and technology than money is talent."

In fact, Merrides is telling the truth.

She is already on the verge of reaching the threshold of promotion, as long as this incident can be settled smoothly, and she has been given such a capable subordinate as David.

Then in a few years, she should be able to climb to a higher position.

And if David is good enough to use at that time, it will naturally not be a problem to climb to her current position.

There is money and power.

She really couldn't think of any reason for a new middleman like David, who had no identity background, to reject her.

"Very tempting conditions, but I refuse."

David's answer was still like ice, and Merrides' already little patience was completely smoothed out.

I saw that after hearing David's reply, Merades' face suddenly turned cold again, and then stared at David's eyes.

"Interesting, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you right now? Even if you are not afraid of death, do you really know what will happen if you offend military technology? ”

"This is the last chance for you to change your choice, take the money or die?"

"So, Director Merrides, if you continue to talk about it if it doesn't make sense, then I'll be gone."

David's eyes did not make the slightest wave because of Merrides' threat, as if he was sure that the other party would not make a move at this moment.

After the atmosphere was so cold for a few seconds, the female executive finally gave up the idea of continuing to press, and then inexplicably showed a cold smile.

Because she knew that although the young man in front of her looked young, he obviously didn't eat his own set of carrots and sticks in the workplace.

It seems that this kid is even more difficult to bite than he imagined.

"Interesting, at least the idea that I want to recruit you over is true, tell me what do you think I think?"

As David thought, Merades' main purpose was to solve problems, not create them.

What's more, there is also the Arasaka army on the side, watching their every move.

Obviously, now is not a good time to flip the chessboard.

Hearing this, David knew that the conversation was finally back on track.

As for the solicitation that the other party said?

Oh, dogs won't believe the words of the company dog!

Even if it was true, there was absolutely no way he would go.

His aim is simply to become an intermediary to draw nourishment from these companies, and when the time comes, his power will take his place.

If you become an employee of a company, then this process will undoubtedly be greatly hindered.

But despite all that was on his mind, David opened his mouth again to bring the conversation back on track.

"Because it's not necessary for you."

The Nightingale Project is ostensibly a combination of biotechnology and military technology.

However, the actual R&D process is the sole responsibility of biotechnology.

In addition to providing veterans as raw materials at the beginning, all that remains is to pay and record the progress of the project.

However, in the course of the project that Joanne Coch provided to the military technology, the development of the drug was falsely reported.

Let the military technology think that the project is about to be completed, so it continues to invest additional funds.

In fact, this "drug" for the treatment of cyberpsychiatric has not developed any substantial development at all.

The lethality rate has been a terrible 100 percent from start to finish.

In such a situation, in order to facilitate the falsification of data, Joanne directly interrupted the use of veterans of military technology as a data source.

Instead, the wanderers of the Red Ochre Tribe were chosen to replace them.

In this way, not only is the data better faked.

It is difficult to obtain evidence even if others want to track it down.

When the time is almost over, Joanne will be able to temporarily find a new scapegoat to take over the responsibility for the project.

She herself was able to rise through the profits of the Nightingale Project.

But she probably never thought that someone who peeked at the plot would directly arrest her in advance.

It can only be said that this is all fate.

So now, if David punctures this matter, biotechnology will naturally suffer a heavy blow.

However, military technology has only suffered a little, but it does not need to continue to invest in an impossible project.

Overall, the pros outweigh the cons.

For Merades, even if this evidence is obtained, it will only allow her to personally expose the biotech conspiracy and give her a resume on her path to promotion.

But now if she chooses to do it, there is also a possibility that Arasaka will use this as an excuse to attack them directly.

At that time, the scene will be completely beyond her control.

On the one hand, there is a dispensable resume, and on the other hand, there is a war that can lead to great upheaval in Night City.

Obviously, the choice is not a difficult one.

What's more, it will take a little time for Arasaka to make this matter public at the moment.

If Merrides had enough means, he would have been able to throw all the blame on biotechnology before the incident.

Although there will still be a little impact, it will definitely not touch the root of the other party.

Under a slight reminder from David.

Merrides immediately realized that the other party's thoughts were indeed not much different from his original thoughts.

She brought someone to the scene this time to see if she could add to her resume without a large-scale conflict.

But now it seems that this credit is a bit difficult to get by.

The next moment, Merrides thought for a moment and then continued coldly to David.

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but what if I only kill you out of anger and don't take those corpses?"

"Do you think that under such circumstances, Arasaka is still likely to attack me?"

Hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene instantly cooled down again.

The three soldiers guarding Meredes immediately loaded their guns, and the intelligent firepower on the floating vehicle was also aimed at David's body.

This moment.

Even David wasn't sure if the moody woman in front of him was joking.

If the other party really just wants to make a move on them.

Arasaka, who has always been profit-oriented, naturally can't choose to make things big for him, a small middleman.

But it was clear that it didn't mean anything more to Merrides than to relieve his anger.

One way or another.

If the other party wants to make a move on himself, then he will definitely not be caught with his hands tied.

Thinking of this, David also silently drove the operation of Qi in his body.

Quietly, all the surrounding equipment was completely refined, and once the other party ordered an attack, he would directly take Meredes hostage and leave the scene.

But at this moment, a familiar female voice suddenly came into everyone's ears.

"No, no, no, Mr. David is an important partner of our Arasaka, and we will naturally do our best to protect our own people."

I saw another floating car with the symbol of Arasaka slowly landing near the two of them.

And the next moment, V, who was wearing a black Arasaka uniform, also walked straight in front of David and Meredes.

V's appearance was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely dissuading Merrides from the idea of retrieving the body.

watched V stand directly beside David and confront himself.

Merrides finally didn't hesitate anymore, just glanced coldly at V, who was smiling at her, and then turned around and sat back in his float.

There is a sentence that David said is indeed true, this matter is really not much necessary for her.

If Arasaka wants to keep David and them, then she naturally won't choose to damage the company's interests for personal grievances.

What's more, the other party is still a middleman who can be used by giving money, so it is naturally even more unnecessary.

"We'll meet David again, and hopefully the next time we meet won't be in a workplace like this."

As Meredes' faint voice echoed in David's ears, the next moment, the military technology army gradually disappeared from everyone's sight with Merrides' departure.

She really admired David's abilities.

Although it is a pity that the other party cannot be drawn into military technology by coercion and inducement, the other party is a useful intermediary.

There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and there is no need to completely tear your face now

Looking at the military technology army in the distance, David finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted V's shoulder and thanked him.

"Thanks, V. If you hadn't come, I don't know what would have happened. ”

V just shook his head at this, and then replied with a smile.

"It's me, thank you, this mission is done very well, and even I was stained, okay, I'll take the corpse of red ochre for testing first."

Speaking of which, David didn't have any inkblots and handed over the bodies of those red ochre members to V directly with the people in the car.

After getting the body, the poor company animal didn't have time to say a few words to everyone.

He was already called back by his immediate boss, and began to organize the examination of the corpse in full swing.

But look at V's reaction to leave with a smile.

Obviously, the other party should be in pain and happy.

【Ding! Complete the basic point mission: Obtain the key information of the Nightingale Project and reward 50 points. 】

After V retrieved the body, the familiar chime of the system in his head sounded again.

This mission finally came to an end at this time.

Master Wei, who had been tired for a day, finally collapsed on the ground tiredly at this moment, looking at the night sky that had been rendered with colorful neon lights at some point.

The gentle breeze swept across his face, making him feel a little relaxed and empty his brain that he had never felt before.

Of course.

What's even more relaxing is that Jenkins sends a large amount of mission money directly to his account after confirming that the task is completed.

There's nothing more intimate than the crisp voice of the payout.

After the results of the test on V's side came back, Sasha was able to return to them.

And just now, Meredes also quietly added David's contact information in a private capacity without V paying attention.

Combined with the words of the other party when they left, it is not difficult to tell that the other party should also want to entrust them with some difficult tasks.

At this point, everything has finally come to an end for the time being.

But now.

Before David could clear his mind, Rebecca's small face was already on his forehead.

"David! You've been lying in a daze for a long time, let's go, let's celebrate tonight! ”

Before David could recover from his relaxed and sluggish mood.

Immediately afterwards, Jack was also excited, pulled him up from the ground, and then said happily.

"Brother! We're going to be legends when we're done with this job! Think about how to pair the wine with your name in the future, hahaha, I came up with it all at once! ”

"A glass of vodka, with ice, lime juice, ginger beer, oh, and most importantly - a little more love~ Isn't it great?"

Yes? What a weird combination.

Before David could express his opinion to Jack.

The next moment, the excited big man had already skillfully sat on the roof of Thunder's car again and screamed excitedly.

And at this moment, Pannan's irritable voice and the roar of the Thunder Engine also sounded in everyone's ears again.

"I said how you guys are grinding and chirping like an old lady, get in the car, get in the car!"

"Wuhu ~ Bar Bar! David, come, come! ”

"We've got a lot of things to ask you."

Looking at the group of companions waving to him in the car, David couldn't help but smile a little relaxed.

Let's talk about it later!

As for now.

"I'm coming!"
