Chapter 125 The deal is settled
The fears of the older generation of Night City residents have come true—
Things soon turned into armed riot control. The company's soldiers carried guns and patrolled the streets under the cover of armored vehicles. Anyone who was sneaky was shot dead 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 was a place where secrets were stored. Of course, there would be plans for this kind of attack, which was 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 these 30 minutes, the number of attacks on the networks of major companies increased dramatically, and they lost the support of most servers. The success rate of these attacks also increased significantly!
Lone wolves, hackers, middlemen and even the company's own agents who had been planning some conspiracy had all moved into action, either to defend or to invade, and the entire Night City was in chaos.
But Faraday knew that order would eventually return to the company's hands——
Those rising floats can prove that 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 was a blackout in the company square, and he knew that.
He also knew that there had been a terrorist bombing of a motorcycle in the Civic Center the day before - and 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 has only been 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 when Mann's team arrived at the Civic Center.
Then, Mann lost contact - not even a word to this day.
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: "Unplug the network cable quickly!"
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, 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 Project Nightingale 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
call--
The hovercar 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 had just run down quickly ran up. Just as he was about to say something, the agent fired a bullet at him, hitting him between the eyebrows and damaging his brain stem.
There are many bodyguards in this residence, but you don't have to 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.
"Clear space around."
The agent reported the reconnaissance information, and then the float 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'm just investigating biotechnology as requested."
Faraday tried to be tough.
"Investigation as required? The people you hired killed nearly dozens of military soldiers in the city center, defeated the violent terrorist mobile team, and destroyed several Manticores——
Do you know what this concept is?
Look at Night City, all the chaos you can see now are all caused by those few people!
I checked the commission sent to you by the operator. The commission content is "secret investigation". How can you not understand the words "secret investigation"? !
Let you investigate secretly, not attack military science soldiers, let alone storm the 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 working - he should never have approached 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 Six Street Gang uniforms appeared, lifeless.
"They've 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 vehicle 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 toward the roof!
boom! !
It almost turned into a skirmish, but the other side quickly retreated--
But the leading woman soon 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 says the thief—or the most audacious bandit that Night City has seen in recent years—
They even stole the core components of the DNA cutting device and a large number of controlled high-tech parts!
As soon as the news broke, 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 and called the NCPD, sending cordial blessings in Russian and saying that if they couldn't see anything within 3 hours, they would look for it themselves--
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 was something that no other company wanted to see.
And they all believe that Su Petrochemical has the courage and courage - they are the winners of the second corporate war, and the country they are on the surface is even a butcher who has dropped huge-yield nuclear bombs in the Middle East.
Just because they are weak in North America doesn't mean they are paper tigers.
The top priority is to return the things first - as for this pot.
The things and information are all here at Faraday. Even if they deny it, they can't completely prevent the pan from sticking.
Sooner or later, hackers from other companies will find clues. Being secretive will only deepen suspicion. It is better to disclose the known action trajectory.
Who would have thought? A dozen hours ago, Arasaka was still enjoying the military science jokes, but now he is being blamed for it for no apparent reason.
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 is now placed on Arasaka. This is 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 blame stronger.
Either you will suffer a dumb loss, or you will drag your competitors to suffer a loss, even though this will put you in a position of blame.
But it is not Arasaka’s current style to suffer the consequences of being dumb. Abernathy is sure that the company will definitely use this to make a fuss——
Their top leader in Night City is the 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 and requesting more support. "
"Roger, support troops on the way - new orders received, Director Abernathy, to continue the mission."
"content?"
"It is said that there was a sighting of a 'lizard man' in 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, and if relevant clues are found, give priority to collecting relevant intelligence. "
ah?
Abernathy froze.
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 trying to get their brains out, 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 senior executives sick and unable to sleep when they think of being fucked by someone with this name.
Moreover, if it is done too seamlessly, it will appear a bit false.
There are so many mysteries in this world, and this bizarre incident that has a lot of different opinions is no exception——
This order is closed.
