Chapter 148 Leaf Buds! Plant polymer weapons!

However, to be on the safe side, V still used his prosthetic eyes to carefully scan the opponent's situation.

The final result was the same as he had guessed. Ivanov was only transplanted with subcutaneous armor, and other than that there was no cybernetic body that could be invaded!

‘Damn… Johnny, now we’re in trouble. ’

When V realized that he could not use hacking technology to hack into the opponent, he suddenly lost the confidence to fight against the monster Ivanov.

He is not an iron-headed boy. Of course, he cannot bravely rush to die even though he knows that there is no chance of winning. There is absolutely no point in doing so.

Just when V was thinking about how to escape and run away with Panan and Jack, he suddenly heard the roar of a mechanical engine.

Immediately, V looked up and saw a black floating vehicle that had parked above Ivanov at some unknown time.

"Fuck! It's our company's reinforcements that have arrived!"

When he saw the military-grade Manticore aerial vehicle marked 'LA Company', Mann, who was hiding behind the Beamon heavy truck, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that the support from the LA company was quite fast. Mann had just finished calling for help, and reinforcements arrived in less than five minutes.

The speed of this support was so fast that Mann thought that LA Company had built an aerospace vehicle base nearby. He had just finished calling people, and company soldiers came here within minutes.

Hearing the sound of the engine coming from the Manticore, the grinning Ivanov raised his head and looked up at the sky, eyeing the aircraft that might land at any time.

Soon, a black unknown object was suddenly thrown down from the floating car, and a shadow like a cannonball quickly hit Ivanov.

After scanning through the prosthetic eye device, V discovered that the thing was actually a person wrapped in power armor. The LA company was actually using people as cannonballs to hit Ivanov!

Just as V's brain was shutting down due to the scene in front of him, the soldier in power armor crashed to the ground and made a big hole in the ground.

Ivanov, who had quick reactions, had already moved his body to dodge the powerful and heavy Titan-falling blow. It was not until the dust in the crater cleared away that Ivanov could see clearly who was coming.

It was a soldier wearing an LA company T60 power armor device, with a sleeve similar to a launcher on his left hand.

"V, it seems that you can't deal with this monster. The boss specially asked me to help you. Just stand back and watch the show."

A familiar voice came through the holographic phone device, and V immediately recognized the owner of that voice. He was none other than Leon's number one bodyguard, Morgan Blackhand!

"Morgan, is this also part of Mr. Leon's plan?!" V felt that everything in front of him happened too coincidental and intertwined.

V felt that Li Ang had already calculated that he would use Chapter 6 to annihilate the power armor soldiers of the biotechnology company, and that he would release Ivanov from the black wall.

Then came the present. Ivanov, who no one could handle, was defeated by a heroic figure who suddenly appeared. V only often saw such vulgar plots in third-rate magazines.

But when he actually witnessed these things happening, V only felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as he was being dragged along by the LA company like a puppet on strings.

And everything is under Li Ang's control!

Faced with V's question, Morgan just smiled calmly and said:

"In my opinion, this is indeed the case, but I don't have time to chat with you now. This guy has gone crazy. I have to deal with the scene as soon as possible."

After saying that, Morgan Blackhand controlled the power armor and stepped forward, walking in the direction of Ivanov.

"Be careful Morgan! That guy's armor is very thick, you'd better hit him with missiles, otherwise you'll still have no chance of hitting him."

Seeing the unarmed Morgan Blackhand just walking over blankly, pretending to fight Ivanov with bare hands, V couldn't help but worry.

With just this ordinary power armor, there is no way it can defeat this genetic monster like Ivanov!

"Shut up and watch the show."

As Morgan Blackhand finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his left hand and fired a green spherical bullet from the cuff device.

Bang!

The spherical bullet hit Ivanov's body softly, failing to cause any substantial damage to him. All that was left on his body was a pool of green mucus and a few small plant fibers.

Seeing the soldier in front of him firing an inexplicable toy bullet at him, Ivanov was immediately irritated by Morgan's pretentiousness.

It's a fall from a high altitude, and it's a one-on-one challenge, but this is all it takes? How ridiculous!

"Damn! You're just going to hit it with something like this?"

V on the side, like Ivanov, were both speechless by Morgan's mysterious operation. Just when V was about to complain about something wrong with Morgan, Ivanov suddenly moved. Got it!

After seeing that Morgan Blackhand seemed to have no other means of attack, Ivanov attacked him unscrupulously.

His huge body was wrapped in a strong gust of wind. At this moment, Ivanov was like a physical cannonball being launched. If Morgan did not retreat in time, the fate waiting for him would be to be torn into pieces in an instant.

However, just when Ivanov was about to run in front of Morgan, Morgan just lightly pressed down the cuff device on his left hand.

The spherical bullet that Morgan just fired at Ivanov was actually a controllable plant weapon composed of polymers and mutant plants.

This thing is called a leaf bud. It is a mutant plant technology from the Vavilov Research Institute. It can be used as a kind of biochemical weapon.

In an instant, several white floating tentacles popped out of the cuff device, and the mucus and plant fibers remaining on Ivanov's body suddenly attacked Ivanov as if they had received some kind of signal.

I saw leaf-bud-like objects composed of mucus and plant fiber, burrowing into Ivanov's seven orifices as sensitively as a small snake.

His eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth were penetrated by these small and silky leaf buds, and eventually the polymer leaf buds quickly invaded the nerve center of Ivanov's brain.

Ivanov, who had been so aggressive just now, was now blinded by the leaf buds that had penetrated into his brain. The mutated plants were quickly eating and occupying his brain.

"Ahhhh!!"

Ivanov howled in despair and pain. He wanted to insert his hands into his brain and dig out the leaf buds that had messed up his brain.

But no matter how much Ivanov beat and tore his facial flesh, the heartbreaking pain still could not be effectively alleviated in any way.

A few seconds later, the leaf buds that had been nourished by Ivanov's brain flower suddenly broke through his skull. At this moment, Ivanov's head was divided into six parts like blooming petals of flesh and blood.

The ferocious and terrifying bloody scene, the smelly blood quickly spread along the wind in the bad land, and everyone felt that their stomachs were undergoing a cruel test.

Fortunately, these soldiers were well-trained, and no one vomited on the spot, but everyone frowned and their legs were slightly weak.

"Is this guy dead?"

Looking at Ivanov whose head had turned into petals of flesh and blood, Meredith finally breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing that he was still standing still, she couldn't help but wonder if the monster was still alive.

"Probably, don't move for now and wait to see what happens." Mann remained cautious.

At this moment, Joanne's mood was very complicated. On the one hand, she was grateful that her life had been saved, but on the other hand, she felt sorry for Ivanov.

After all, this is a genetic warrior created by a biotechnology company that spent countless funds and resources. If Ivanov's temperament can be controlled well, he can become a pure humanoid killing weapon.

Then biotechnology will definitely have its own place in the mercenary market!

Maybe President Miles of New America will obediently pay the bill to biotechnology and inject these big soldiers with this genetic drug.

But all these beautiful visions came to nothing with the special launching device in Morgan's hand.

The genetic warriors they were so proud of were so easily killed by LA Company's gadgets!

"V, how do you enjoy the show? You are not disappointed." Morgan took off the armor on his head and walked towards V with a smile.

"Not bad, it looks like Mr. Leon is going to make a fortune again." V looked at the miserable and terrifying Ivanov, and couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the device in Morgan's hand.

This damn thing is more deadly than his Mantis Knife!

Just when V thought the matter was over, he suddenly discovered that Ivanov, whose head had been split into petals, was actually moving behind Morgan Blackhand.

"Morgan! Watch out!"

V shouted, drew his gun, pointed it at Ivanov's head and shot several times. However, Ivanov, who was hit by the bullet this time, was like mud. After shaking for a while, he fell to the ground completely.

"Damn... why do you want to beat him to death? This guy is well controlled by me. It's really unnecessary."

"He moved behind your back just now. Aren't I worried that something might happen to you?" V didn't understand why Morgan said he was doing nothing.

Looking at Ivanov behind him, whose head was blooming and dying, Morgan Blackhand sighed, "Ye Ya can directly control this unconscious life form through the polymer device."

"The only drawback is that this thing is very fragile after being controlled by Ye Ya. It can be killed with a headshot."

V was stunned for a moment after hearing Morgan's explanation. He once again had a new understanding of the technological power of LA Company. If this thing was used in war, it would be unimaginable!

"This... this thing can also control people's behavioral consciousness?"

In hindsight, V suddenly realized that he was not here to save people at all, but to see this black technology product exhibition!

[This guy Morgan was ordered to come here to show off. I bet he must have video equipment installed on him. Maybe everything here is on the LA company's projection screen. 】

The figure of Johnny Silverhand emerged. He shook his head at Morgan and said: [Looking at his proud look, I guess he has been hiding for a long time, just waiting for something to happen to you. 】

[Now that the work is done, the company's product called Ye Ya has also shown off its face. Next, it's boss Li Ang's turn to make a fortune, and everything will be fine. 】

'If it can really end like this, the ending couldn't be better. It's a pity that we still couldn't rescue those wanderers this time. ’

V sighed inwardly, knowing that after his failure this time, he would not be able to take away those victims again.

Sure enough, after seeing Morgan Blackhand come forward to settle everything, Joanne walked out with a smile on her face and said to Morgan:

"Mr. Morgan, thank you for your rescue. I will pay a large sum of money to LA Company. Now please take all these people back."

"Whether it's on the bright side or the dark side."

After saying that, Joanne did not forget to glance at V with contempt. Her meaning could not be more obvious. Each of these people counts, and everyone will go back where they came from.

"Sorry, Ms. Joanne, you have to go back with us." Morgan smiled and motioned the other person to look in the direction of the float vehicle.

Soon, a group of elite violent terrorist mobile team MAX-TAC soldiers wearing light combat armor and tactical helmets came out of the landed Manticore aero vehicle.

They are the most elite violent terrorist mobile team in Night City, and most of the equipment and financial support they currently receive come from LA Corporation.

"Ms. Joanne, you are suspected of illegal human experimentation and have seriously violated the laws of Night City. Now I officially inform you that you have been arrested!"

The person who spoke was Dallas Foster. He was the captain of this mobile team and was usually responsible for the combat missions of this team.

As he finished speaking, Dallas took out an arrest warrant stamped by the Night City City Hall. The document also had Lucius's autograph on it.

Obviously, LA company can prepare all the information so comprehensively, which shows that it has a plan in advance!

Joanne's eyes widened angrily. She looked at V and then at the arrest warrant in Dallas' hand. She immediately understood that it was the LA company that was targeting her, which led to such a farce today.

But what Joanne couldn't figure out was why Li Ang would come to deliberately mess with her, and she had never offended anyone in the LA company!

"No, you can't arrest me. I'm the director of biotechnology. How could I conduct human experiments that violate the law? This is completely nonsense."

Joanne tried her best to stay calm, but she soon saw Panan and Jack not far away, who had come out with the red ocher wanderer from the laboratory.

As for those wanderers, each one has different scars on their body. The only thing they have in common is the resentful look they cast towards Joanne.

If there weren't soldiers from the Terrorist Mobile Team here, they would have rushed up and eaten Joanne alive.

However, although they could not kill Joanne, they could yell at her and expose the crimes of biotechnology.

Faced with the vicious looks and vicious curses cast by those homeless people, Joanne simply turned a deaf ear and said coldly to Dallas:

"I need to contact the biotechnology company. I believe it won't be long before you take back this useless arrest warrant!"
