Chapter 125 The deal is settled
The fears of the older generation of Night City residents came true——
Things quickly turned into an armed riot, with company soldiers carrying guns. Under the cover of armored vehicles, they patrolled the streets and shot anyone who was a little sneaky on the spot.
The little thieves who were ready to make a move were ushered in the massacre. In the alleys, corridors, and dark corners where the neon lights of Night City could not be found, more conflicts were taking place, and then disappeared in the sound of gunfire.
The power outage did not last long - this was an EMP attack. After all, the company building is a secret storage place. Of course, there will be plans for this kind of attack, which is not uncommon.
30 minutes later, the company building lit up again. Although it could 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 skyrocketed, and they have lost the support of most servers. The success rate of these attacks has also increased significantly!
Lone wolves, hackers, middlemen and even the company's own agents who had been planning some conspiracy for a long time all moved into action, either to defend or to invade, and the entire Night City became a mess.
But Faraday knew that order would eventually return to the company's hands -
Those rising floats can prove it - whoever controls the sky will win.
He was now on the roof of his luxury apartment, and could clearly see the floating armored vehicles taking off and the company square that was once again lit up.
In the past, he would admire the beauty of Night City here, dreaming that one day he could climb to the top and overlook the Night City.
But now, he is a little panicked——
There is a power outage in the company square, this is what he knows.
He also knew that there had been a terrorist bombing of a motorcycle in the Civic Center a day earlier - and then, that was all he knew.
For the Lille trio, it was a long three days, but for Faraday - it was only three days, not three months, not three years!
It is quite normal for the general commission time to be extended to a monthly basis, but it was only three days since he got the clue from Lear, that is, from Brandon Murphy.
The panic was because when martial law was declared in the city center, it happened to be the time when Mann's team arrived at the Civic Center.
Then, Mann lost contact - not even a word until now.
Could it be that he was caught by NCPD or military science?
Mann's team is also wanted by the NCPD, so it doesn't seem impossible to be caught under martial law - and it's very possible to be killed.
But was he caught or killed?
Will it implicate him?
This kind of unknown is the most tormenting, especially for someone like Faraday who likes to control everything.
He immediately decided not to vote——
However, at this moment, he suddenly started to receive documents - passively!

[Device information.]
Faraday was stunned - he yelled at the bodyguard beside him like crazy: "Quickly unplug the network cable!"
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran towards the computer room——
But Faraday collapsed and stared blankly far away. A floating car was heading straight towards this direction. .
It was really far away, but he had a feeling that it was definitely coming towards him.
".It's over, it's too late."
[Communication being accessed]
Burger King: The commission has been completed, and all the information about the Nightingale Project is here.
Faraday: Do you know what you did? !
Burger King: Of course I know, damn, there are monsters in the biotech building, it scares me to death.
Burger King: Give me the money quickly. Are you happy now? Riding on Arasaka’s thick thigh? You're welcome.
Faraday: I thank your mother
Huh——
The floating car slowly hovered on the roof - it was the people from Arasaka.
A series of red error messages popped up on Faraday's prosthetic eyes. His body felt nauseated and he immediately knelt on the ground.
Two Arasaka agents in suits jumped out of the float vehicle and walked over, one from the left and the other from the right.
The bodyguard who ran down just now ran up quickly. Just as he was about to say something, the agent shot him a bullet, hitting him between the eyebrows and damaging his brain stem.
There are many bodyguards in this residence, but don’t think about it, they must all be corpses.
Faraday could only watch all this with fear——
From now on, his body no longer belongs to him, and considering that Arasaka is coming, maybe his soul doesn't belong to him either.
"The surrounding area is clear."
The agent reported the reconnaissance information, and then the aerial vehicle slowly stopped on the platform, and a woman with a shaved head came out.
"Faraday - you are really awesome. Do you know what you have committed?"
"I am just investigating biotechnology as required."
Faraday tried to be tough.
“Investigation as required? The people you found killed nearly dozens of military soldiers in the city center, defeated the violent terrorist mobile team, and destroyed several Manticores——< br>
Do you know what this is? Look at Night City, all the troubles you can see are caused by those people!
I checked the operators for you! I sent a request, and the content of the request is "secret investigation." How can you not understand the words "secret investigation"!
I am asking you to investigate in secret, not to attack the military soldiers, let alone to attack by force? Biotechnology Building! ”
Faraday felt that he could understand every word this woman said, but why were they so strange when they were connected together?
His brain has stopped functioning - he should never have contacted Burger King with the intention of spying on them in the first place!
Those are three fucking bombs!
At this moment, Agent Arasaka drew his katana and slashed into the air!
"Enemy attack!"
Almost at the same time, another Arasaka agent moved simultaneously and stabbed him with a knife!
The optical camouflage faded, and a man wearing a Six Street Gang costume appeared, lifeless.
"They found this place - take him away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Faraday's brain-computer interface suddenly burst out with sparks, and he collapsed to the ground.
The agent nodded and was about to take Faraday away when a bullet blew out his head!
Sniper rifle!
The float car rose slowly, but the driver saw a surface-to-air missile rising from a building in the distance, and then hitting it directly!
Boom!
The missile exploded in the air, and the aerostat's engine was damaged and it made an emergency landing again!
However, the person who fired also revealed his position. On the ground, a rocket from Arasaka's convoy flew towards the roof of the building!
Boom! !
This almost turned into an encounter, but the other party quickly retreated -
It was just that the leading woman quickly received news that armed forces from other companies were approaching.
At the top of the stairs, a huge Arasaka bird soldier rushed out carrying an instrument that Faraday had never seen before——
"Director, everything is here!"
When the woman called the director saw this thing, her temples secretly swelled and hurt——
Biotechnology said that the thief——or the night The most audacious robber has appeared in the city in recent years -
He even stole the core components of the DNA cutting device and a large number of controlled high-tech parts!
This news just broke out. Peizhuo Petrochemical, which had always been very docile in 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 Petrochemical dialed the satellite phone, called the NCPD, sent cordial blessings in Russian, and said that if they couldn’t see anything within 3 hours, they would look for it themselves——
< br>Monopolies are super sensitive to things that are subject to monopoly. Alcohol 2 wheat is the lifeblood of energy giants.
They attach great importance to their monopoly on this thing, and the machines and technologies that can produce alcohol-2 wheat are therefore strictly controlled.
The more such machines appear on the black market, the higher the cost of regulation will be, and the cost of maintaining the monopoly will also rise, so this kind of opening cannot be opened.
Besides, who can determine what the thief’s purpose is? Just like the news, because of a couple of homeless people? Who believes it?
And this is a good excuse, a very reasonable excuse - an excuse to reach out to Night City.
What Su Petrochemical said is something that no other company wants to see.
And they all believe that Su Petrochemical has the courage and courage - they are the winners of the second corporate war, and their apparent country is even a butcher who has dropped huge-yield nuclear bombs in the Middle East.
Just because they are weak in North America does not mean they are paper tigers.
The top priority is to return the things first - as for the pot
the things and information are all here with Faraday. Even if they deny it, it is impossible for the pot to be completely non-stick.
Sooner or later, hackers from other companies will find clues. Being secretive will only deepen suspicion. It is better to disclose the known action tracks.
Who would have thought? A dozen hours ago, Arasaka was still enjoying the jokes about military science, but now he is inexplicably being blamed.
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 doing this work was either a fool or an extremely shrewd conspirator——
The blame was now placed on Arasaka, which was a big loss.
But Arasaka had to accept this "gift" and try his best to make his competitors suffer some losses.
And this kind of confrontation will make the scapegoat more firmly held.
Either you will suffer a dumb loss, or you will drag your competitors to suffer losses, although this will make the scapegoat more firmly held.
But being dumb is not Arasaka's style now. Abernathy is sure that the company will definitely use this to make a fuss -
Their top leader in Night City is a representative of the hawks from the Arasaka family.
"This is Abernathy, the headquarters, the biotechnology stuff has been found, and the incident report is being uploaded.
We are under attack, requesting more support."
" Received, support troops on the way - new orders received, Director Abernathy, to continue the mission."
"Content?"
"It is said that someone has witnessed a 'Lizard Man' in the Company Square, and the Intelligence Department is collecting information.
Your task is to assist the Counterintelligence Department in interfering with the operations of other companies. If relevant Prioritize the collection of relevant information for clues.”
Huh?
Abernathy was stunned.
And she could clearly hear that the operator was hesitant, as if he was confirming the task content again.
Collect information on what?
Outside the building, in the shadows, Lear looked at the company dogs who were braining out the dogs, and watched Arasaka take away all the components.
The chaos is subsiding, and the information being spread will spread the flames across the company.
Of course this will not completely remove the Lille trio from the center of the incident, but the most the company can get is a name——
An extremely idiotic name, the kind of name that would probably make the company's top executives sick and unable to sleep when they think of being fucked by someone with this name.
Besides, if it is too perfect, it will appear a bit false.
There are so many mysteries in this world, and there is no shortage of this bizarre incident that has a lot of different opinions——
This ends the story.
