Since you have decided to do it your own way, there is no need to talk too much with the intermediary.

The choice of the three of them was to continue to the bar and finish their drinks, and by the way, to figure out what they were going to do next.

V raised his hand: "First of all, we should buy a car." ”

Lille: "No, if you want to buy it, buy the V340, otherwise you will definitely feel distressed." ”

Jack: "Why? Is this so expensive? ”

V: "yes, why, I want to buy a sports car!" ”

Lille sighed: "This living water is very deep, first of all, who do you think gave Faraday the commission?" ”

The two looked at each other, and V took the lead and said, "Another company's company is a dog." ”

Yes, there is progress - Lille applauded softly.

The vast majority of mercenaries will think that working for a middleman is different, and it is not working for a company dog anyway.

But not really.

But before the question was over, Lille asked:

"Which one is that? Arasaka, military technology, or the Yeshi Group, or the unnamed synthetic food processing company across the street from the apartment building? ”

"How do I know that I'm not the middleman - the opponent of biotechnology, Moore Technology? There seems to be a lot of overlap in their businesses. ”

"I think it's Arasaka."

Jack and V were stunned, wondering why Lille said that, and because Arasaka was a real behemoth.

How does Lille explain it? He didn't need to explain, anyway, he hung up.

The customer of the Nightingale Project is military technology, and of course the only one who thinks about military technology all day long can only be Arasaka.

Calculating the time, military technology estimates that it has stabbed the European Space Agency for Arasaka breaking the terms of the commercial monopoly and launching things to the moon without permission.

The Arasaka Intelligence Department estimated that the scalp was scratched, where to find a city, and the counterintelligence department had to kill a large number of people.

And there's another reason why Arasaka can't investigate biotechnology directly — there are some security contracts between the two companies, and if the investigation of the employer comes to light, Arasaka's reputation in the private security sector will be greatly damaged.

Faraday probably hadn't met anyone in Arasaka, so he certainly wouldn't have left a trace.

Of course, considering Faraday's magical and rare way of commissioning, maybe he took on other orders.

Nightingale plans to intervene in this matter - coincidentally, there is also an entry point on Lille's side, and that is the Red Ochre tribe of the witnesses.

However, it would be a good thing if Moore Technology could pull them into the water.

Lille pinched his eyebrows and said, "Let's start with the Red Ochre Tribe, they have cooperation with biotechnology, let's find out the content of their cooperation first, and then see if there is a chance to take this opportunity to hack in."

Maybe we'll have to make two trips to the Badlands, we'll have to put our gear in the car at all times, and we'll have to buy a leather-durable car.

Or just use this Mackino, and we'll add some money to the red ochre and buy it from them. ”

Lille, they also bet two V340s from the Red Ochre Clan, and grabbed them from the Sixth Street Gang, the big deal is to add some money to exchange it.

After hearing this, V was deflated: "Hey, then when can I buy a sports car?" ”

"Let's finish this ticket."

"Then let's go to the red ochre now?"

Lille was just about to speak, when he suddenly noticed unread text messages and missed calls on his phone.

Just now, for the sake of talking, he put the communication on mute.

From: Hector.

Lille immediately realized - something was wrong.

Hector: Lille, how are you doing? One of my people has run out, Cedric Mahler.

Hector: You haven't seen it, I've been lying in a tent before, and I've felt a lot better after taking the extended-release medication, but yesterday he said he couldn't take it anymore, and today he's gone.

Hector: Neville says he may have gone to Night City, and he took a gun with him when he left.

Hector: He probably went to Biotech, saying he wanted to get revenge on them.

Hector: Can you do me a favor if you can? Neville had gone after him, but I was afraid something would happen to them.

Learlle: Okay, I'll take a look.

Hector: Thank you, and besides, there were dead people in our tribe, and Cedric took the bodies away, can you send them back if you can?

Lille: I try my best.

Hecto replied quickly to the message, and it could be seen that he was staring at the communication interface all the time.

But seeing this name, Lille frowned and thought for a while, feeling very familiar.

So he sent another message.

Lille: What implanted prostheses did Cedric Mahler have?

Hector: He's a good guy.

Hector: recoil slowing prosthetic system, strengthened prosthetics, strengthened tendons, built-in stimulants, tactical prosthetic eyes, bionic joints.

Lille: What brand?

Hector: The tendons are Moore-Tech, the rest are stalls, and he has modified the tactical prosthetic eye himself.

Lille: Any idea what version of ICE he uses?

Hector: I don't know, but we can't afford to use good things.

Lille: What about weapons?

Hector: An affordable firepower killing shotgun, he modified the counterweight himself, and it is very handy to use.

Lille: Got it, let's do it first.

Lille immediately got down from his chair and said to the two, "Come on, there is a man named Cedric in the red ochre who is pulling the corpse and running to find the biotechnology to settle accounts, Neville is chasing him, let's go and see the situation." ”

Jack and V finished the wine on the countertop in one gulp.

"Let's go, then."

Neville the Red Ochre drove his clan's pit vipers through the traffic roads of Night City.

He's in a hurry--

Cedric is the eldest brother in the clan, and he fits himself with a lot of prosthetics, and usually helps in the clan to change cars and fight.

Although this big brother spoke very badly, he really thought about the tribe, as can be seen from the fact that he was one of the first batch of guinea pigs who volunteered to become biotechnocrats.

The Wanderer Tribe is like a big family, and it may be difficult for you to like one person completely, but when something happens, everyone will help.

Ding Dong –

Caller: Jack.

Jack: "Neville? Are you chasing Cedric? Is there a place for him? ”

Neville: "Jack! I have, the cars in the tribe are all positioned, he didn't turn it off, but he drove too fast, I didn't catch up! ”

Neville: "I'll send it to you now." ”

After sending a message, Neville called Cedric again.

Cedric: "Hello? Boy, stop, I know what you're trying to say, they killed Andri!

There are still many people who have not recovered! If you want to come, bring a weapon and kill the biotech bastards, or don't fucking bother me! ”

The phone hung up, and Neville didn't even have time to speak.

"Don't do anything stupid"

Cedric drove a Galena Gecko - it was a modified car.

The standard Galena can't hold out for a minute in the desert, but this one is different.

The glass has been replaced with military-tech bulletproof one-way visible armor, the entire front of the car has been reinforced, the roof is equipped with a 360-degree high-definition camera, and there is a small javelin bullet launcher.

The alcohol 2 burned deadly, the exhaust holes spewed flames, and the exaggerated speed and noise showed the driver's mania, and the other cars on the road avoided it.

Ding dong.

Cedric is on the phone – Brandon Murphy.

Finally, the other party connected.

Cedric: "Miscellaneous hair, our people are dead, what the do you say?" ”

Brandon Murphy: "By protocol, you know the risks associated with the experiment."

Cedric: "But death isn't included in it!" Look for yourself what Andri looks like now, and Lao Tzu's nerves are hurting now! ”

Cedric: "Looks like someone fucking has shoved an oscillator into your head!" ”

Brandon Murphy: "I don't care about that, I thought you were here to send the body for us to study, and if there's a problem, biotechnology is the only way to find a solution." ”

Study?

The corners of Cedric's mouth twitched, but he suddenly calmed down.

Cedric: "Yes, yes - fuck you, research and give us a solution!" ”

Brandon Murphy: "Okay, then, I'll send you where I sent you, and we'll take care of it." ”

Cedric: "Not the Biotech Building?" ”

Brandon Murphy: "No—it may be biofouling, and the company needs to confirm the contamination before dealing with it." ”

Cedric: "Grass you. Okay, okay, I'm just rushing there. ”

Brandon Murphy: "That's right, the company won't leave you alone, and we can find a solution." ”

The solution?

X Dead You X,...... （）

Cedric's eyes suddenly flashed on the camera a few times.

That's the shaky image information caused by the chaos of the data stream.
