Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

night.

Watson City North Industrial Area.

A fierce fight was breaking out in the abandoned steel factory, the fire burning a little light in the vast darkness.

The sound of gunfire can be heard echoing even from several kilometers away. For countless nights in Night City, it is not worthy of special attention.

Caitlin, deputy director of the Special Operations Department of Arasaka Company, is trying her best to organize a new round of attacks against Mann and others in the workshop.

Caitlin is a subordinate that Susan Abernathy focused on training when she was the director of the Special Operations Department. She received the task of snatching the military-grade Sian Westan prosthetic body tonight for military technology.

Caitlin initially thought it was a chaotic harvest, but she didn't expect that the people from the Whirlpool Gang had finished cleaning up, and the group of cyberpunks from Watson were still resisting tenaciously in the workshop.

The first batch of special operations teams that entered the workshop were mostly killed or injured and retreated.

She had no choice but to order an indiscriminate fire coverage attack first.

Although the artillery fire was fierce, judging from the detection results of the thermal imager, the five people on the other side hid in a blind corner to avoid the artillery fire and were still unharmed.

"Damn cyberpunk!"

Caitlin went on this mission and applied to send three Arasaka special operations teams from the Special Operations Department. The number of people in the operation was already quite large. If there were serious casualties, they would most likely face an investigation after returning to the company.

And there was not much time left. Director Abernathy ordered that the time limit be ten minutes, which means the results must be reported before ten minutes after nine o'clock.

She knew that the information about this transaction was revealed by an informant in the counterintelligence department, and that the counterintelligence department would launch an operation in half an hour.

Although Director Abernathy had already said hello, it was confirmed that the Counterintelligence Department had only sent a special service team, and the person in charge was the mole, Carter Smith.

But once the target prosthetic body is not obtained, and the upper-level investigation and leaks are revealed, not only is Carter Smith dead, but she will also have a hard time escaping the implication, and may even become the scapegoat.

Now that the wave of attacks failed to take down Mann and others, Caitlin ordered to stop the fire coverage.

She took the initiative to shout to the workshop: "I know you are trading that military-grade Sianwei Stan with military technology. We are willing to pay double the price of the Whirlpool Gang to buy it. We will pay you to deliver the goods. How about we leave after the completion of the transaction?" Sample?"

After Caitlin finished speaking, an Arasaka agent threw an electronic account chip into the workshop.

The chip that flew into the workshop happened to land on the exploded skull of a member of the Whirlpool Gang, and was inserted diagonally into the steaming blood and white brain flower of the ooze.

"There are 100,000 euros in it. After you get it, leave the prosthetic body and you can leave."

Hearing the movement in Arasaka outside, Mann, who was hiding in a corner of the workshop, shouted in a deep voice: "The prosthetic body has been taken away by the Uzumaki Gang, and I have nothing in my hand now!"

When Caitlin heard Mann's refusal, she looked gloomy and gnashed her teeth and cursed: "They are all on the verge of death and they still keep talking, so rush in and kill them all!"

The two special service teams, armed with Arasaka's sophisticated weapons, once again launched an offensive charge against Mann and the others.

The strong firepower caused dust and bricks to fall from the workshop, and the entire workshop shook as if there was a major earthquake.

Mann was also cursing madly in his heart. It was obvious that the prosthetic body had been stolen by the Uzumaki Gang and was not in the workshop at all, but this Arasaka woman just didn't believe it!

"Qiwei, how's Lucy doing there?"

Qiwei quickly replied: "There is no news yet. The people from Military Technology have arrived, but they have not taken action. They want us to fight Arasaka to the death!"

"Grass!"

Mann couldn't help but cursed.

The girl with twin ponytails was so angry that her veins popped out. She glared at the Arasaka special service team who was about to enter the workshop, and shouted: "Mann, don't hesitate, kill these bastards in seconds, and we'll get out ourselves!"

Mann and others no longer showed weakness and began to launch a strong counterattack against Arasaka.

All firepower, including machine guns, arm cannons, and high-explosive grenades, were directed at the faces of the Arasaka Special Service Team.

Even if the Arasaka Special Forces were wearing full bulletproof equipment, they could not withstand the firepower poured by Mann and others.

Suddenly.

The war broke out again.

The Arasaka Special Forces suffered numerous casualties in the fierce exchange of fire.

Sudden.

Mann's arm cannon jammed, causing a gap in heavy firepower.

The Arasaka Special Forces team immediately aimed at him, pulled the trigger, and a barrage of fire bullets sprayed from the muzzle, shooting towards Mann.

Seeing that Mann was in danger, Dorio quickly jumped and threw Mann down.

But because he couldn't dodge, he was shot three times in his right shoulder and arm, and the blood vessels in the back of his neck might have been blown out a little higher.

The five-man team instantly lost two firepower points, and the Arasaka Special Service Team immediately began to organize an effective attack and launch a counterattack.

Pyrrha wanted to throw another high-explosive grenade, but just as she threw the bomb, her palm was pierced and broken by several fire bombs before she could withdraw it.

Pyrrha was so shocked that she screamed: "Fuck, how can I do it all day long if my flexible prosthetic hand is broken??!"

The girl with twin ponytails smiled ferociously: "Leave it all to me to enjoy it, hahaha!"

The magazines of the two pistols were cleared away, and after throwing them away, they immediately took out a green-cased machine gun and aimed it at the Arasaka Special Service Team with a burst of fire.

Da da da! ! !

The opponent's whole body was shot by countless fragmentation bullets, turning into bright red blood and scattered backwards.

Qiwei seizes all the time to break into the Arasaka Special Forces ICE. However, Arasaka is very knowledgeable in the field of network hackers and specially strengthens the security level of ICE. It is really difficult to completely invade in such an emergency.

Qi Wei had no choice but to change her strategy and launch a protocol for long-range bombing, causing the opponent's prosthetic body to overheat and lose combat effectiveness.

The overheating of the cyber-intrusion prosthetics quickly took effect. Several SWAT team members had difficulty aiming and were unable to effectively use the operating system to control their body movements.

The girl with twin ponytails took advantage of this moment to fight back, holding a green shell machine gun and launching a crazy charge alone in the hail of bullets.

Mann quickly helped the injured Dolio lie down. Before he had time to show concern, he picked up the heavy machine gun and continued fighting.

We are now at a critical juncture, and everything must wait until Arasaka's people are completely dealt with.

However, after the well-trained Arasaka special service team broke into the workshop, they quickly found bunkers to provide fire cover.

The girl with twin tails charged wildly, but was immediately pulled back by her brother Pyrrha who risked his life to seize the position.

In order to protect herself, Pyrrha threw several electromagnetic pulse grenades into the air, which could temporarily disable electronic prosthetics within a certain range.

The Arasaka Special Forces lost their prosthetic support and their powerful firepower stagnated.

"Requesting drone support!"

What made Mann and others even more critical was that an Arasaka armed drone flew in from outside the workshop and launched a death charge attack on them from a high altitude.

Mann had to free his hands to deal with the four drones above his head, but he had just shot down one drone, and the other three had already launched fire.

Forcing everyone to move around in the workshop to avoid attacks, it would be difficult for them to hold on with this kind of offensive.

Mann is completely out of options. If he wants the team to survive Arasaka's attack, he can only call that person.

At a time of great crisis.

The fire attack of the Arasaka Special Forces suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, more violent artillery attacks and radio warnings suddenly sounded outside the workshop.

"Military technology is performing a special mission. Unrelated personnel should evacuate the scene immediately!"

Mann scolded: "Fuck, military technology has finally taken action!"

at this time.

Tang Yu and Jack, who were watching the battle from a distance outside the workshop, witnessed the entire process of the deal between the Mann team and the Whirlpool Gang, as well as the action of the Arasaka Company's special agents.

Even from such a distance, you can still see the fierce firepower between the two sides.

Jack said in surprise: "Don, your informant's fighting ability is indeed quite capable. Five of them almost destroyed two Arasaka special service teams. They are very powerful!"

Tang Yu nodded in agreement. He originally wanted to distinguish Mann's strength through this transaction. Now it seems that Mann does have the ability to become a legend.

Anyone who becomes a legend in Night City must pass the test of Arasaka, or at least defeat Arasaka to prove that you have the courage to go against the company.

Even if this behavior seems reckless, it is an indispensable part of the road to becoming a legend.

suddenly.

Tang Yu found Youdao's figure running quickly towards them, and through scanning, he could see that it was a member of the Whirlpool Gang.

Jack pointed at Dum Dum who escaped from the secret passage: "Don, look, there is a fish that slipped through the net, and there is something in his hand. It can't be the transaction item, right?"

Tang Yu smiled and said: "That boy is the little leader of the Whirlpool Gang, Dum Dum. He is a guy who grew up in a mourning den and has never seen the outside world."

Without saying a word, Tang Yu took Jack and jumped directly from the container several steps and landed on Dum Dum's only way to escape.

"Dumdum, long time no see."

As Dumdum ran away, he looked back to see if anyone was chasing him. He didn't notice that two people suddenly jumped out in front of him, blocking his escape.

He protected the safe with one hand and pointed the gun at the two of them with the other hand. His red prosthetic eyes flashed: "Who are you? You know I am Dum Dum of the Whirlpool Gang and you still don't get out of the way!"

Tang Yu had known this kid before and knew that he was a coward who was cruel on the outside but soft on the inside. He could really slip away faster than anyone else: "Put the safe down, at least you can go back with your head intact."

Dum Dum saw that the gun in Tang Yu's hand belonged to Arasaka Kenshin, so he asked gloomily: "Are you from Arasaka, ambushing me here?"

Just as Dum Dum was in a stalemate, there was another sound of embarrassing footsteps coming from behind.

"Royce?"

Dumdum turned around and found Royce with half his face dented in the prosthetic body.

Royce's face was severely damaged and his vision was blurry. He saw three people blocking the way ahead.

Just when he was raising his gun and preparing to shoot, he heard Dum Dum's voice, and he raised his gun to aim at Jack who was slightly closer and threatened him.

"Give it to me."

boom!

Tang Yu held Kenshin in one hand and shot Royce in the head, ending the Maelstrom Gang's sinful life.

Tang Yu didn't remember much about him. His impression was that except for the first half of Royce's prosthetic metal electronic face, the rest was completely rebellious.

He took advantage of the boss Brick to go out to work, rebelled directly and took the top spot. He also captured Brick alive and locked him up in the Whole Foods Processing Factory, hoping to starve him to death.

Tang Yu didn't even have time to listen to this kind of rubbish.

Dum Dum on the side was restrained by Tang Yu's cruel methods and looked back and forth several times.

Look at Royce's headless body lying on the ground, and then look at Tang Yu who shot decisively.

"Do you know that he is Royce from the Uzumaki Gang? If you kill him, Brick will never let you go!"

Dum Dum tried his best to emphasize boldly, but his tone obviously lacked momentum.

"Even if you are from Arasaka Company."

Tang Yu can't say that he has any feelings for Dum Dum. The main reason is that this guy is more fun and he has gotten goods from him several times, so he only said a few words.

"Put your things down and go back to give your boss, Brick, a message. It was Royce, the old thief, who broke the rules first. Brick, the thief, couldn't control him anyway. Arasaka was kind enough to clean up the internal troubles for him." clean."

Jack saw that the gun in Dum Dum's hand had slowly been lowered, but he was still stunned. He walked up to him, grabbed the safe from his hand, and kicked him hard.

"Why don't you hurry up and get out of here? Do you hear what I asked you to take back?"

Dum Dum was kicked by Jack and staggered a few steps, then rolled away and crawled away.

After staring at the whirlpool gang Dum Dum running away without a trace, Jack picked up the safe and looked at it, and found that it had a combination lock.

"Brother, there is a code lock. I wonder if the prosthetic body is inside. How about just shooting it open?"

Tang Yu thought Jack's idea was a good one, simple and crude. He was about to agree when he heard a cold voice behind him.

"The password is 1003."

Jack immediately turned the gun aimed at the safe and aimed at the intruder.

Tang Yu also looked sideways and found that it was an old acquaintance, the silver-haired girl in the carriage, the Saint of Thieves, a candidate hacker for the Mann team, and a cyberpunk with a secret.

Lucy.

All I saw was the cold moonlight.

Her silver hair faded into icy blue and light pink.

The neon pupils with a blue and purple background are still like a lonely clear pool, telling no strangers to enter.

But judging from the hot sweat on her forehead and the heavy breathing, she must have rushed here in a hurry just now to intercept the safe.

Unexpectedly, the safe has fallen into Jack's hands.

After Tang Yu saw that it was Lucy, he asked Jack to put down the old man in his hand: "It's one of his own."

Seeing that Tang Yu recognized her, Lucy said quickly with a somewhat anxious tone: "Mann and the others are surrounded by people from military technology!"

Military technology has come to an end, and the entire layout has come to an end.

Tang Yu was just about to finish: "Jack, give her the safe, and we'll meet the military technology people over there."

Although Jack didn't know who the other party was at all, he still threw the safe over. He also trusted the people Tang Yu trusted.

Lucy took the safe, and her eyes flashed with surprise. She seemed a little surprised that Tang Yu would throw the safe to herself so simply, and would also agree to rescue Mann and others who were surrounded.

She clenched the golden sharp single molecular wire in her hand.

In her opinion, there is no one in the company who doesn't stab someone in the back, so cyberpunks need to find a middleman.

Even if you know that the real financial backer is the company, you can only pretend to know nothing, just complete the task, and try to minimize direct dealings with the company.

Judging from the current situation, almost all development directions are beneficial to Tang Yu.

The company's internal competitors have been defeated by military technology, the prosthetic safe has been obtained, and the human body operating data of cyber madman James is at his fingertips.

As long as Tang Yu has a thought, he can even kill everyone involved in the mission, including herself.

In this way, Tang Yu can completely complete a perfect mission and go back to claim credit from Arasaka Company.

This is almost a perfect ending for Tang Yu.

At this time.

Lucy held the safe and looked up to see a luxury floating car slowly stopping above her head.

Then the door of the floating car opened automatically, and Tang Yu got up and walked into the floating car with Jack.

Tang Yu had just sat down after walking into the car, but turned around and found Lucy still standing there.

Jack asked from the side: "Since we are one of our own, do you want to call her with us?"

Tang Yu knew that Lucy didn't want to deal with people from the company, so he didn't call her to get in the car just now.

However, after Jack's reminder, now it seems that except for himself who can go to the workshop site, it may be difficult for others to understand the specific conditions of the site.

Because military technology has completely blocked the area around the workshop, ordinary people cannot get close to it, but Tang Yu has his own trump card.

Tang Yu waved to Lucy who was standing there: "Follow me if you want to see Mann and the others at the scene."

I originally thought she would agree, but unexpectedly Lucy just replied: "I'm waiting for your good news."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and the white figure instantly disappeared into the darkness.

Jack shrugged and said when he saw that one of his people in Tang Yu's mouth was so vigilant.

"It seems that she is very wary of you and has deep prejudices. Maybe she feels that there is no good person in the company."

"But without your status as Arasaka Company today, it would be impossible to resolve the matter peacefully."

Tang Yu directly ordered the smart butler to close the car door, and then took off towards the abandoned factory workshop.

"It can only be said that everyone has their own past, and it is their own choice who they believe or not believe in Night City."

Jack smiled and said: "Hermano, I believe you 100%, but if you now say that we drive this luxurious old artillery truck to snatch people from military technology, are you a little too underestimated of their armored guns? We can all shoot to the sky!"

"Who said there are only two of us? I also have a bodyguard team," Tang Yu said and looked out the window.

Jack curiously looked through the left floating window and saw an Arasaka Company armed floating vehicle slowly flying alongside them. Looking at the right window, there was also an Arasaka Company armed floating vehicle accompanying them.

Jack's eyes were full of excitement, and he said excitedly: "Hermano, I used to hate the company, but now the company works as a bodyguard for me, why do I suddenly feel a little happy?"

Tang Yu didn't take it seriously: "As long as you have power in the company, even Adam Hammer can call you around, let alone these Arasaka elite teams."

This is the power that Jenkins used his old connections to lend to Tang Yu. It would be a waste if not used.

Two Arasaka armed float vehicles and an integrated Arasaka elite team. This kind of combat power can almost start a small war.

Armed security represents one of Arasaka's three pillar businesses and is the embodiment of its highest strength.

As the final trump card, the elite team was enough to shake up the scene.

When he hacked into Arasaka Tower, one of the most troublesome obstacles was the elite team guarding Arasaka Tower.

What's more, what Tang Yu wants to do is not to go to war with Meredith, but to reminisce about the past and win over a few people.

He believed that for his own sake, Aunt Mei would not disagree.

When things have developed to this point, Tang Yu believes that his old boss Jenkins does have some strength.

Without this foreign aid, he and Jack would have to fight against military technology head-on.

It is impossible to fight.

Tang Yu can only rely on Tang Yu to go to Meredith to discuss, but without the armed strength to support him, it is inevitable that he will not be strong.

Tang Yu thought about it carefully, and before he was strong enough, he still had to make good use of the all-purpose skin of the company dog.

As the floating fleet approaches its destination.

Tang Yu could already see the military technology led by Meredith below taking control of the scene and wiping out the Arasaka SWAT team.

Mann's situation is extremely critical.
