The fears of the older generation of Night City residents have come true-

Things quickly turned into armed riots, with the company's soldiers patrolling the streets with guns under the cover of armored vehicles, but Fan was killed on the spot if he was a little sneaky.

The little thieves who were about to move were slaughtered, and more clashes were taking place in the alleys, between the corridors, in the dark corners of the neon lights of Night City, and then disappeared under the sound of gunfire.

The blackout didn't last long - it was an EMP attack, and the company building was a confidential place after all, so of course there would be a plan for this not so uncommon attack.

After 30 minutes, the company building was lit up again, and although it could still be seen from the flickering lights that the current was not stable, it was indeed lit up.

In the past 30 minutes, the number of attacks on the networks of major companies has increased dramatically, losing the support of most servers, and the success rate of these attacks has also increased significantly!

Lone wolves, hackers, middlemen, and even the company's own agents, who had been plotting some kind of conspiracy for a long time, went into action, either defending or invading, and the whole Night City was in chaos.

But Faraday knew that order would eventually return to the company—

The floats that rise will prove that whoever masters the sky wins.

He is now on the roof of his luxury apartment, with a clear view of the constantly taking off of the floating armored vehicles and the re-lit company square.

In the past, he would admire the beauty of Night City here, dreaming that one day he would climb to the top and look down on Night City.

But now, he's a little flustered—

There was a power outage in Company Square, and that's what he knew.

He also knew that there had been a motorcycle bombing terrorist attack at the Civic Center a day earlier – and then, that's all he knew.

It was a long three days for the Lille trio, but for Faraday – it was only three days, not three months, not three years!

It's quite normal for a normal commission to be extended to a monthly basis, but it's only been three days since he got the lead from Lille, that is, from Brandon Murphy.

The panic was due to the fact that martial law was declared in the city center, just as Mann's team arrived at the Civic Center.

Then, Mann lost contact - not even a word to this day.

Could it be that he was caught by the NCPD or the military department?

Team Mann is also wanted by the NCPD, and it doesn't seem impossible to get caught under martial law - and it's also possible to be taken down.

But was he caught, or was he killed?

Will he be implicated?

This kind of unknown is the most torturous, especially unbearable for people like Faraday, who like to be in control.

He immediately decided that the vote would not be done—

However, at this moment, he suddenly began to receive documents - passively!

【Device Information. 】

Faraday froze - he yelled like madness at the bodyguard next to him, "Pull out the cable!" ”

The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, and then ran quickly towards the machine room-

But Faraday went limp and stared in the distance as a floating car drove straight in this direction.

It's really far, far away, but he has a feeling that it must be coming at him.

"It's over, it's late."

【Connecting Communication】

Burger King: The commission is over, and all the materials for Project Nightingale are here.

Faraday: Do you know what you did?!

Burger King: Of course I know,, there's monsters in the biotech building, and I'm scared to death.

Burger King: Hurry up and give the money, are you happy now? Catch Arasaka's thick thighs? You're welcome.

Faraday: I thank your mother

Call--

The floating car slowly hovered on the roof of the house—it was the people of Arasaka.

A large string of red misinformation jumped out of Faraday's prosthetic eye, and his body was nauseated, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

The floating car jumped out of two Arasaka agents in suits and walked over one on the left and one on the right.

The bodyguard who had just run down ran up quickly, and as soon as he wanted to say something, the agent rewarded him with a bullet, which hit the center of his eyebrows and damaged his brain stem.

There are still a lot of bodyguards in this residence, but don't think about it, they must all be corpses.

Faraday could only watch with horror --

From now on, his body doesn't belong to him anymore, and considering that it's Arasaka who came, maybe his soul doesn't belong to him either.

"Surrounding clearance."

The agent reported the reconnaissance information, and then the float slowly stopped on the platform, and a woman with a flat head stepped out.

"Faraday—you're really awesome, do you know what you've done?"

"I'm just investigating biotechnology as requested."

Faraday tried to have a hard mouth.

"Investigate as requested? The people you found killed dozens of military soldiers in the city center, planted the terrorist mobile team, and blew up several manticores—

Do you know what this concept is?

Look at Night City, all the mess you can see now is all made by those few people!

I've checked the commission sent to you by the operator, and the content of the commission is 'secret investigation', which one of the words you don't understand?!

Let you investigate secretly, not let you attack the military soldiers, let alone let you storm the biotechnology building! ”

Faraday felt that he understood every word this woman spoke, so why was it a little strange to be connected together?

His head had stopped working - he shouldn't have been in contact with them in the first place with the mindset of spying on Burger King!

That's three bombs!

At this moment, Agent Arasaka on the side drew his katana and slashed at the air on the side!

"Enemy attack!"

Almost at the same time, another Arasaka agent moved synchronously and stabbed at the same time!

The optical camouflage fades, and a man in a Six Street Gang costume appears, lifeless.

"They've found it - take him away!"

As soon as the words fell, Faraday's brain-computer interface suddenly burst into a burst of sparks, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.

The agent nodded, and was about to take Faraday with him, when a bullet blew him in the head!

Sniper rifles!

The floating car slowly rose, but the driver saw a surface-to-air missile rising from a building in the distance, and then hit it straight over!

Rumble!

The missile exploded in the air, and the engine of the floating car was damaged and forced to land again!

However, the person who fired also revealed his position, and on the ground, a rocket from Arasaka's convoy flew towards the roof!

Rumble!!

It almost turned into an encounter, but the other side quickly retreated--

It's just that the woman in charge soon received the news that the armed forces of other companies were approaching.

At the top of the staircase, a huge Arrasaka bird soldier rushed out carrying an instrument that Faraday had never seen before—

"Director, everything is here!"

The woman who was called the director saw this, and her temples were secretly swollen and ached.

Biotech says thieves -- or the most daring bandits Night City has had in recent years --

They even stole the core of the DNA cutting device, as well as a large number of regulated high-tech parts!

As soon as the news broke, Peizhuo Petrochemical, who had always behaved meekly during this conflict, mobilized the nearest army on the spot and headed towards Night City!

That's a real army!

A few minutes later, even Su Shihua dialed the satellite phone, called the NCPD, sent a cordial Russian blessing, and said that they would come to find it themselves if they couldn't see anything within 3 hours.

Monopolies are super sensitive to monopolized things, and alcohol-2 wheat is the lifeblood of energy giants.

They valued the monopoly of this thing, and the machinery and technology that could make alcohol-2 wheat were strictly regulated.

The more such machines appear on the black market, the higher the cost of regulation and the higher the cost of maintaining the monopoly, so this kind of opening cannot be opened.

And who knows for sure what the thief's purpose is? It's really like the news, because of a few wanderers? Who believes?

And it's a good excuse, a very reasonable excuse - an excuse to reach out to Night City.

What Su Shihua said was something that other companies did not want to see.

And they all believed that the Soviet Petrochemical had the courage and courage to do so – they were the winners of the second corporate war, and their apparent country was even the butcher who dropped a huge yield nuclear bomb in the Middle East.

Just because they're weak in North America doesn't mean they're paper tigers.

The priority is to get the stuff back first - as for this pot.

The stuff and the information are all here at Faraday, and even if they deny it, they can't be completely non-sticky.

Sooner or later, hackers from other companies will find clues, and it is better to be secretive than to disclose known tracks.

Who would have thought? More than ten hours ago, Arasaka was still watching the jokes of the military department, and now he is inexplicably carrying a black pot.

The good news is that this information, called Project Nightingale, can still be used to make some fuss.

Thinking of this, the woman felt that the person who did this work was either a fool or a conspirator who was shrewd to the extreme.

The black cauldron is now buckled on Arasaka's head, which is a big loss.

But Arasaka had to accept this "big gift" and try his best to let his competitors suffer some losses.

And this confrontation will make the black pot more secure.

Either suffer a dumb loss, or drag your competitors to suffer too, although this will make the black pot lock.

But suffering a dumb loss is not the style of Arasaka now, and Abnassi is sure that the company will definitely use this to make a fuss-

Their supreme leader in Night City is a hawkish representative from the Arasaka family.

"This is Abnasi, headquarters, the biotech stuff has been found, and the incident debriefing is being uploaded.

We are under attack and we are asking for more support. ”

"Roger, support forces are on their way - new orders received, Superintendent Ebernathy, to continue the mission."

"Contents?"

"It is said that there have been sightings of 'lizardmen' in the company square, and the intelligence department is collecting information.

Your mission is to assist the Counterintelligence Department in interfering with the operations of other companies, and to prioritize the collection of relevant intelligence if relevant leads are found. ”

Yes?

Albernathy was stunned.

And she could clearly hear that the operator was also a little hesitant, as if he had reconfirmed the content of the task.

What is the intel to collect?

Outside the building, in the shadows, Lille watched the company dogs who had their brains punched out and watched as Arasaka took all the components.

The chaos is subsided, and the scattered information will burn the flame between the companies.

Of course, this won't completely disconnect the three from the center of the incident, but the most the company can get is a name--

An extremely brainless person, when he thinks that he has been by someone with this name, the company's senior management is estimated to be disgusted and can't sleep.

Besides, it is done too seamlessly, and it seems a little fake.

There are so many mysteries in this world, and it's not bad for this bizarre event with different opinions-

This is the end of the list.
