Chapter 380: Collision
Arasaka Waterfront is also located in Watson District, where they were invited by Mayor Ryan when the Unification War reached California.
Since then, the territory has been effectively occupied by the Arasaka army, which has become their stronghold.
The buildings in this place are built according to the standards of the city's military buildings, and the NCPD has no law enforcement authority here, and once you cross Watson District and come here, the road is full of Arasaka's drone armor, drones, and heavily armed soldiers.
Lille secretly worked with Kaniek to block the surveillance and tracking equipment on the float, but the area around the Arasaka waterfront was completely no-fly.
Will Arasaka let the trauma team's float car over?
They might think that someone needed to be rescued, which might have been Kaniek's idea, but it was unlikely that Arasaka would just let him swagger in.
There weren't many cars there, and the soldiers in Arasaka weren't stupid, so they couldn't see a problem with the floating cars.
Once exposed, Lille didn't think Caniek would be able to come and go freely in a place like the Arasaka Riviera.
Gotta keep up.
Boom β
"Can't drive!"
The minivan sped through the seams, shuttling like the wind!
Although the car is not good, David's driving skills are quite good.
The top speed of 120km is quite not enough to see in the city, but David has already stepped on the accelerator to the end, and when he pedals it again, he will step into the tank!
Stopping sharply and then accelerating sharply, this broken car is simply super dangerous to drive on the road, but fortunately, Night City's definition of dangerous driving is quite loose:
As long as you can't hit people and can't hit NCPD, it's not dangerous driving!
Even if you hit a car, it's just a small friction!
A sharp bend, and the outer wheels of the van are almost flying!
Pedestrians on the side of the road dodged one after another, but there was still a stunned Qing who was not afraid of death and slammed the accelerator when he saw this-
A sports car was overtaken, and the driver's expression on the car changed, and he immediately started the sport mode and hit the accelerator!
Little broken van, dare to overtake me?
Watch me overtake you hard and then turn you over!
Rumble!
I don't know where this young man came from.
Because locals know that the old broken car like Columbus Freight is generally not used by anyone to drag race.
But if someone is on the street with a car that includes but is not limited to Columbus Cargo, G240, Pit Viper, etc., you'd better stay away from them.
"Stupid!"
The sports car suddenly came to the side of Lille, and the driver of the car gave his middle finger up, ready to leave the car after a wave of humiliation.
Lille just glanced at him: Love road rage?
Rumble!
After another intersection, Mann's Mackinac rushed straight over!
This sports car looks like a toy car in front of a large pickup truck like Mackinal, and when the owner hears the sound, he looks back and his face turns white:
Mackinaw is almost three times as tall as his Mizutani Falcon!
Even without the legendary Mackinaw, this model is a typical road tank!
But he couldn't stop it!
Bang!
A standard tail flick that McKinaw actually only feels like a slight bump, but it's an unbearable weight for Mizutani Hayabusa.
The car stalled at once, was thrown off by two cars, and crashed into an elevated pier in the middle of the road.
Mann sat in the driver's seat of Mackinaw and gave Lille a thumbs up with his big white teeth.
Lille didn't care about the stunned blue of the overturned car, but looked at the air:
His worst fears were realized, Kaniek did not stay in the city center, and even flew at high altitude on the outskirts of the city!
His destination is the Arasaka Seaside!
But his target is a mercenary, how can a mercenary infiltrate Arasaka's facilities? It could only be that mercenary who was hired by Arasaka!
Things are getting more and more complicated.
The van and Mackinou drove up the highway at the same time, and Lille thought about it and decided to push Regina again to make a decision.
It just so happened that at this time, Regina also sent a message.
γFrom:Reginaγ
[Regina: I only found out that this one named Woolly Crowley was a mercenary, but the incident that happened a week ago was related to Valentino. γ
[Regina: In addition to the mercenaries, there were Valentino's people who clashed with him at the time, so maybe you can ask one of Heywood's intermediaries about the situation.] γ
[Regina: Regarding Kaniek, I looked up his prosthetic model and software version, which may help you keep him.] γ
[Regina: This order is a bit special, my benefactor is willing to add more money to his life. γ
Lille immediately sent a message to the priest.
[To: Father]
[Burger King: Father, I wonder what Valentino had with a guy named Woolly Crowley a week ago. γ
[Priest: It's a bit complicated. γ
[Burger King: You'd better hurry up and decide if you want to tell me or not, there's a cyber psycho who is chasing this Woolly Crowley, moving towards the Arasaka Seashore, and this mercenary's employer is not ordinary. γ
[Priest: Arasaka? γ
[Priest: Well, here's the thing, a week ago a hacker approached Valentino's young man and asked them to cover a few mercenaries with a batch of eavesdropping and surveillance equipment, but he didn't say who was spying on whom. γ
[Priest: But they did something wrong, and they were discovered by this guy named Woolly Crowley.]
This mercenary is so powerful that he basically blew up a building, killed everyone, is said to have a cyber psychotic episode, and killed several members of the trauma team. γ
[Priest: At the time, I thought it was a bit strange about how the trauma team came to the scene, and now it seems that the mercenary's employer is not ordinary. γ
[Priest: Now that you've been involved, I'd like to give you a job to help me find out who is involved in this.] γ
[Burger King: Yes, but it's not cheap. γ
[Priest: Don't worry, I know, please don't be cheap. γ
Outside the Arasaka waterfront, a Arasaka version of the Emperor Ragnar is parked on the street outside the monolithic building, followed by a Gudra Turbo 740, a powerful urban sports car, with a streamlined appearance, revealing an atmosphere that ordinary mercenaries can't afford.
Arasaka's soldiers and mechs are on the other side of the road - a fairly safe meeting place if you're from Arasaka.
Unless a floating car falls from the sky.
In the car, Deputy Mayor Hoult and Woolly Crowley had already used the place as a business car.
Hult crossed his legs and took out a cigarette case: "Good job this time, find out who is stumbling on me?" β
He is a bald head, and the image that appears on the big screen is with an amiable smile, which is more relatable than Ryan's poker face.
However, when he is in such a private occasion, he perfectly inherits the cold image of the gold lord Arasaka, and his actions are quite arrogant.
Woolley sat right in front of him - although he was an ordinary mercenary on the surface, the combat prosthetics on his body were all military-grade products.
One of his prosthetic eyes is Arasaka's custom-made combat compound eye, and the fist-sized eyeball structure is equipped with several prosthetic eyes that are sensitive to signals at different levels.
The two arms use the latest combination of artificial muscles and biomimetic structures to provide powerful and flexible strength, which, together with the gun chip in the head, perfectly controls the recoil of the bullet when it is fired, and provides dynamic balance when the attitude is out of control.
The two thighs support a variety of maneuvers such as super jumps and double jumps, and there is an anchor at the base of the hind foot, allowing him to hold his body in any plane.
Integrated bones and subcutaneous armor, military electronic kidneys and lungs.
Too many prosthetics are crammed into this not-so-huge shell, but the fighting power is higher and harder than 99% of street warriors.
It can be seen that Hult has invested a lot in him, but he has also gained something.
Woolly smiled, looking a little neurotic, it was obvious that as a person who had been cyberpsychotic, his mental state was different from ordinary people.
"There are only two names, one is Chu Qiaoxi and the other is James, give me some time, and I will do these two little pussies right away.
When will the new immunosuppressants arrive? β
"It's in the carriage." Hult gestured to the storage compartment at the back of the car.
There are so many hackers, and there are many who are almost on the verge of success.
However, with Arasaka helping him, most of the hackers were quietly solved.
This time he used his own people to solve things, although the scene was a little bigger, but this is a good thing, otherwise it would be bad for Arasaka to always treat him as a waste.
Wu Li immediately planned to get out of the car to take the medicine and leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked:
"Oh yes, I wonder how much it cost the trauma team to save me once?"
"One hundred and twenty thousand." Huo took a cigarette and said nonchalantly, "It's a little money." β
"Or do you make money by doing this, and 120,000 is also a small amount of money? I remember I was killed."
"That's not important, do your job."
In fact, if Woolley hadn't killed two members of the trauma team, the money would have been even lower-
One life is 55,000 compensation, which is a lot less, almost three times the average annual income of Night City residents.
But for someone like Hult, he really doesn't care about that little money.
As long as he can continue to be the deputy mayor, the money Arasaka gave him, as well as the money he embezzled from the municipal government, is enough for him to raise many such mercenaries.
The problem is that there are not many people who can put so many prosthetics and are so capable.
One person faced dozens of people and killed more than twenty.
Not bad, indeed.
Thinking of this, Holt suddenly thought of one thing: he knew all the equipment on Woolley's body, and he could control it, but he didn't know the gun.
"By the way, where did you get that automatic grenade launcher?"
"This," Woolley pulled out the transmitter component from his lower belly pocket and touched it baby, "The black market, the night city black market has been very lively lately. β
So it was brought by the Europeans.
Hult looked at the gun and suddenly thought of one thing: should he also pull the support of the Europeans?
They are much richer than Arasaka.
"Alright, so be it."
"Okay, I'm going to kill someone for you."
Woolley jumped out of the car, and there was a muffled sound on the ground, and it was clear that his seemingly thin physique was not light.
Whew-
But just as he was about to go to carry the immunosuppressants used inside Arasaka, he paused and looked up at the sky.
In fact, it wasn't just him, but the Arasaka soldiers in the nearby area all raised their heads
And the muzzle.
"Trauma team? Or is the company dog rich enough to afford it," Woolley looked at the floating car and suddenly smiled.
But laughing and laughing, he couldn't laugh
After seeing him, the floating car seemed to have found a target, and the vector engine instantly turned the front of the car -
If he's not mistaken, the float car seems to be flying towards him?!
The height of the float drops rapidly, but the speed does not decrease at all!
Woolley's full-body prosthetic body immediately goes into battle mode, and the people of Arasaka react faster than him!
"Fire !!"
The rain of bullets is like a meteor rising from the ground, with different thicknesses, and there are even floating cars smashed into the air by missiles!
The floating car did not retreat in the face of dense firepower, and rushed firmly towards Woolley, like a meteorite that crossed a meteor!
Kaniek only had Woolley's face in his eyes, and his mind replayed the past with his girlfriend, which was burned out by flames with a severe headacheβ
Consciousness is burning!
"Ahh
