Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

Chapter 100 If there is no gold in the world
Strictly speaking, the frontal combat effectiveness of the company agents who caused trouble for the three Lear people this time did not exceed that of V and Jack.

But he did his best - waiting for an opportunity to ambush the target and put the blame on the trio, laying mines and detonating motorcycles to prevent tracking. With these two skills, he created a situation that would be a surefire kill for ordinary mercenaries.

The bad thing is that Lille was not only more thoughtful, but also showed street ruthlessness in making decisions, and the two thugs lived up to their expectations and arrested him on the street.

And even if he died, the agent still had a backup plan.

The chip was not destroyed on the spot - the data inside had been altered.

Project name: Project Nightingale.

Head: Emilia Morton.

Possible cause of the accident: Emilia Morton violated regulations by releasing gamma-rabies into the edge of Night City during the trial to clear out the near-validity vaccines and α-nerve sustained-release agents that were stranded in the Night City drug warehouse.

Emilia Morton?

Leal rubbed his chin, how could he remember that the main cause of the accident was Joanne Couch?
The name Emilia Morton is very familiar, and she might be another biotechnology employee who was assassinated in the game.

The chip must have been modified - otherwise it makes no sense that Joanne Couch wasn't mentioned at all.

This clue and evidence even completely ignored Kochi, which was not good because Lear could not use this to coerce her.

He had to find a way to contact Emilia Morton and find out the real situation.

Thinking of this, he called Murphy again.

Correspondent: Murphy.

Didu——
Murphy: "Dude, what's going on with that bitch Kuno? I saw on the news that there was a terrorist attack in the Civic Center today. You weren't affected, were you?"

Lille: "It's okay. We're hiding far away. Cuno is dead. Didn't the news show it?"

Murphy: "I'll go, good news! I'll buy you a drink next time we meet."

Murphy: "The news didn't mention this. It's probably that the NCPD is investigating. Oh - that's not right. You killed that bitch Kuno. What does the NCPD need to investigate?"

Murphy: "She's really dead?"

Lear: "It's so damned. Show me the photo, [picture]."

Murphy: "Holy crap, are you so cruel?"

Lear: "There was no way. She refused to admit it and wanted to call the police, so we had no choice but to take action."

Lear: "How's it going over there?"

Murphy: "That's right. I was here waiting for Mendoza this morning. He was the media reporter. His location is at the city center subway station."

Murphy: "But today he suddenly said that he had made an appointment with someone in biotechnology, and he said that we would just meet together. The time was pushed back a bit, and we kept waiting. Now he said that he was already on his way over. ”

Lear: "Who? Emilia Morton?"

Murphy: "I'll go, God! How did you know that this is the person Mendoza is dating! It is said that she was just fired yesterday!"

broken.

Manuel Mendoza plans to ask someone to come out with him to examine the evidence.

As it happened, Emilia Morton was fired and approached Manuel Mendoza.

Now insiders and media people are all gathered together - those in the media have some subtle distortions in their social cognition.

On the one hand, they feel that there must be some dark side at the top.

On the other hand, they feel that the top management is dark, but they must abide by the rules.

For example, this meeting was held at a subway station in the city center. People were coming and going, and they ran away after meeting. There was no way something would happen, right?
Therefore, they look down on the vulgar lower-level people in Night City and are suspicious of the upper-level people in Night City. They feel that the upper-level people are insidious and the lower-level people are cruel.

However, the actual situation is that there is no shortage of ruthless characters who are both insidious and cruel at both the upper and lower levels.

Murders occur every day on the streets of Night City. How can a company that can scare these murderers away be stopped by this little trouble?
Whether Morton meant to bring people together or not, the situation was dangerous.

Lear frowned: "You said you are already at the subway station?"

Murphy: "We are already here on the subway. Something happened?"

Lear secretly said fuck it - it's too late.

Lear: "Something has indeed happened. Is Mann next to you? Let him come in."

Mann: "Hey, Burger King, what's up?"

Lear: "Biotechnology sent out agents yesterday to clean up, and Emilia Morton may also be killed." Mann: "It doesn't matter, we will protect her, nothing will happen to the meeting, and the meeting place is the city center subway station, they How to do it?"

Lear: "Your first day dealing with the company? There was a time when gangs occupied the city center and NCPD was unable to manage it, so they came to the company."

Lear: "The company began to implement a curfew, and anyone who did not comply with the curfew would be shot indiscriminately. Since then, the company has established its absolute control over Night City."

Lear: "Do you think you have more dignity than the Maelstrom Gang and the Valentino Gang?"

Lille: "Get your weapons and protect all witnesses. If you want to finish this job and avenge your teammates, just listen to me."

Mann: "How do you know? Wait a minute, Faraday called me."

Lille: "If you still want to keep your current teammates, listen to me and don't answer - from now on, you will only talk to me."

Mann: "What are you talking about?"

Leal hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.

I had a busy day yesterday and basically just slept for a while while waiting for the car to be repaired.

Now it’s time to work again, and it’s a time-consuming job.

V walked up to Lille with his hands crossed: "What's wrong? You look very tired."

"We are very tired. We have to go back to the municipal square now. There is a high probability that we will face the company's regular army again this time."

Jack and V looked at each other.

V hesitated and asked: "This is a job. Lear, don't blame me for asking questions. I just want to know why we are doing this now? We don't have any money."

Lille was silent for a moment and said: "I have been planning to rob biotechnology equipment, that thing can make me die less quickly.

This order may not be much money, just to find a way to save my life. "

V and Jack looked at each other and smiled.

Not for money?
If it’s not about money, what’s the problem?

"You should have told me earlier." V sat down next to Lear and hugged him, "You don't think we will throw you out, do you?
Besides, you still owe me 76 yuan. You have to pay it back before you die, right? "

Jack smiled and said: "V is right - I mean the first part, we are not very educated. If you think that thing can be useful, we have to get it back to you no matter what."

Leal also smiled.

Everyone in this team was tricked into joining the team - in short, they can make a lot of money.

But from the bottom of their hearts, they are not money-minded bastards.

Otherwise they would have become company dogs long ago.

Lille patted himself, stood up, and said solemnly: "Listen, I have a hunch that what we are going to do this time will cause a serious chain reaction.

The danger is incomparable with the previous missions. If you are not careful, you will die. "

V clicked his tongue: "Is it more dangerous than the time in Atlanta?"

Lear nodded: "It might be more troublesome than that time - but on the bright side, you are not the same person you were in Atlanta, and Jack is not the nervous novice who was still smuggling."

Jack scratched his head: "Was I so cowardly at that time?"

V and Lear looked at him and said nothing.

Lille continued: "But in short, after crossing this hurdle, we will have a broader world in front of us - we will have more enemies and more dangers, but - the future will be brighter, so, as usual"

Leal held out his hand.

"Everyone has joined in?"

V and Jack put their hands on each other.

"of course."

Lear was suddenly moved.

With just a word from him, they dared to fight with him into the dangerous municipal center again, face company soldiers several times their size, face the super-corporation that made Night City fearful, and form a deadly feud with them.

Fundamentally speaking, money is not what they pursue.

The core of punk is not failure, but the courage to rebel——
When the world roars in with a heavy giant screen, crushing everything you know in the world, just a small wave can destroy all your hopes.

Can you still stand upright and roar into destruction?

"Jack, V, you know what, if there is no gold.
We are already heroes. "
