Chapter 383 The Second Life of a Mercenary (Supplement)
“News Channel 54 brings you a piece of breaking news.”
“Today evening, Arasaka Beach encountered a racer The 36-year-old Woolley Crowley shot at the Arasaka Company due to a psychotic attack. "The shooting lasted for a full minute and shot down 7 floats. The attacker shot down 7 floats in total." The truck was empty and caused casualties to several Arasaka Company employees, with three employees dying on the spot. "
"According to reliable sources, the Arasaka Seaside Warehouse No. 15 was also breached during the attack, and the safety of the cargo was compromised. to question.”
"After the battle, California Street was bombed. Although Arasaka Company was protecting company property, it was also questioned: Was Arasaka Company suspected of using excessive force?"
"According to grapevine, the game The implant used by Bo Psycho is a one-piece implant specially customized by Arasaka Company. Some people speculate that the cause of the disease may be related to this. ”
< br>"These employees were ordered back to work 30 minutes later, but Arasaka Company has not yet proposed a compensation plan for them and Night City Municipal Government."
"It is worth noting that the deputy Mayor Huot happened to be at this location during the attack and was unfortunately hit by a grenade. He has been sent to the hospital for treatment. "
The entire street was blown to pieces.
This should be the most powerful cyberpsychosis in Night City in recent years. The battle not only destroyed an entire street, but also knocked down several Arasaka float vehicles, resulting in even greater losses in mechas and combatants.
A total of 6 Arasaka employees died——
This is actually a lot. After all, company employees are indeed more difficult to die. This kind of large-scale bombing is even more difficult to die. Three of these people were even crushed to death by the Arasaka blast doors.
The floating vehicle also mainly deals damage. In fact, there is no direct shooting down, so in reality, it can be regarded as a big thunder and a small rain.
However, things like the warehouse being blown through still have a relatively large impact on the company.
Thanks to the power of the automatic grenade launcher, Woolley's rearguard was still very successful, so successful that Arasaka didn't even bother to catch up.
Mackinac pulled into the church in Haywood.
This is the permanent residence of the priest.
Many street kids can come here to seek refuge, because with the presence of the priest, no locals will chase them in and kill them.
There is a basketball court and open space behind, where Valentino's boys sometimes hang out.
But there is no one today.
V and Jack stood at the door, waiting for Mackinac and Columbus to enter the door before closing the door -
Today's matter is not a small matter, the church is no longer suitable to remain open to the public.
The car stopped, V leaned against the rear window, looked at the slightly embarrassed Lille and laughed mercilessly: "You like to sneak away? You almost died, right?"
Lille looked helplessly. glanced at her.
This time he really didn't want to escape. Who would have thought that Kanek had become a special cyber psychopath?
Woolley Crowley's combat effectiveness is beyond imagination. That kind of weapon can be called an ace support on the battlefield. If it falls into the hands of the right person, its lethality is immeasurable.
Originally this was just a simple intelligence gathering, but in the end it was almost involved in a head-on battle with Arasaka.
What a surprise.
“I didn’t expect so many accidents.” Lille opened the door and got out of the car, signaling Mann and others to carry the unconscious Kanek inside.
V put his hand on Lille's shoulder, pointed at Kanek and said, "Who is this?"
"I originally planned to ask him something, but I didn't expect that he had already become a mature man when I went there. Cyberpsychosis——
First, he ambushed his colleagues in the trauma team, then robbed the float vehicle, and finally went straight to the Arasaka beach to chase the enemy."
"You are really unlucky."
"That's right. ”
Lille suddenly paused——
Although unexpected, the whole thing didn't seem too disharmonious.
If I have to say something, here is one: Why did Kanek hijack the car and rush to the Arasaka beach, and happened to meet his enemy?
This is really a coincidence. If the conspiracy theory is anything to go by, Holt was also there and was bombed into the hospital, which is even more coincidental.
Lear just unplugged the remote control module in Woolley's prosthetic body, allowing him to get sick as much as he wanted. It was an accident that he sent Holt to the hospital.
But if you think about it carefully, Lille was in Woolley's system at the time, and there was no sign that anyone was controlling him to attack Holt.
The specific situation is full of mystery. Because Lille walked so fast, I don’t know how Holt was admitted to the hospital.
"What's wrong?" V asked strangely when he saw Lear suddenly stop thinking.
"I just think it's a little strange. Let's go in first."
Everyone locked the doors around them, put up signs saying "No visitors allowed in," and followed the priest into the church. 【Recipient: Regina】
[Burger King: I saved Kanek, but I can’t do anything about the other one. All the people in Arasaka came out. 】
[Regina: Okay, I know you tried your best. 】
[Regina: I checked Kanek's file and found that he was a mercenary turned regular. There are some rumors indicating that he is quite extraordinary; in addition, his girlfriend is called Nadia Neves. She was a top student, and it was she who introduced Kanek to join the trauma team. 】
[Regina: Nadia’s subject in college was about cyberpsychosis. I wonder if this is related to their experiences. 】
[Regina: I know you must have questions to ask him, but our employer here is pressing hard. He will be looking for someone in about 30 minutes. Please be mentally prepared. 】
[Regina: Don’t say I told you. 】
Actually, Lille didn't have much to ask, but he discovered a coincidence: Kaniek had the same style of Sianwistan as V.
So I was idle, so I simply started collecting the prosthetic body operation data on site——
However, the little octopus suggested that Lille should read it after waking up Kanek.
And some specific stimulation needs to be applied to him.
These stimulations lead him into memories.
“My dear Nadia and I first met on the battlefield. I killed their members before they arrived.”
“At that time, my intestines were filled with tears. I was beaten away, and I thought I couldn't go back to collect the reward, but she stopped to bandage me."
"I saved my life."
Lille and he were the only two people in the room.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he was gibbering.
Several data cables were directly connected to his spine and Sianwistan, reading all the data.
“Then there was another mission, and I killed the target before them. Coincidentally, it was her who came.”
“This time I was not so embarrassed; Recognizing her, she recognized me, unlike last time, she accused me of killing people every time.”
"I told her I was just doing it for the money."
"Oddly enough, I thought about her every day after that."
"Then the third time I took them The client was beaten to death, this time I did not choose to end the target's life before they came."
The empty eyes suddenly became brighter, and Kanek suddenly laughed.
"I have no grudge against the target, but I want to thank him. This is the first time Nadi asked me, and she asked me to let the target go."
"To be honest, I just work as a mercenary to make some money. I don't care who I work for."
"So I told her: Of course, but if you don't hire me, you won't be so easy to talk to next time. "
"Later, I became an employee of the trauma team and her colleague."
"I have been thinking about her life every day since I met her. , what kind of thoughts do you have, what kind of person are you?"
"This should be the beginning of my second life."
"After that, I saved 259 people, and I didn't miss once."
"Except for that one time, I couldn't save her, I saved a damn bastard."
Ka Nick's emotions suddenly became excited, and his voice became extremely low.
"Before I started this period of my life, I accepted 23 commissions and killed 34 people without ever missing a beat."
He slowly turned his head, and his unfocused eyes finally recovered. normal.
He looked at Lear and asked questions with longing eyes, but the words he spoke were quite slow, as if there was a language barrier.
“Is he——dead————”
Liel nodded.
Kanek seemed to be recovering from slow motion, closing his eyes half in relief and half in pain.
“I know you have questions, ask them quickly.”
