Chapter 621 The Fall
The Crystal Palace finally dived into the atmosphere unstoppably. Before that, it circled the entire world eighteen times at an extremely fast speed. Countless people saw the city in the sky that was once hailed as the greatest man-made object in the sky. It gets bigger and bigger circle by circle, and finally under the friction of the atmosphere, it leaves a path of fire.

Numerous high-definition cameras faithfully recorded the whole process. The Crystal Palace is worthy of the title of an ergonomic miracle. Its main structure tenaciously survived the friction of the atmosphere.

The self-defense system worked brilliantly throughout the four-hour run, intercepting numerous attacks and leaving a trail of fireworks in its wake.

For the first time, the puppy video got rid of the entry of superhuman, and let the entry of Crystal Palace#阿坂集团#artificial miracle once again occupy the headlines.

At 10:38 in the morning, the Crystal Palace passed through the atmosphere in the airspace near the Neon, and returned to the homeland where it was determined to create it. Hundreds of millions of Neon people raised their heads and saw small black dots the size of sesame seeds flying over their heads. Some lucky ones may It can also cause death from penetrating wounds from scattered hard parts.

Maybe it is for the advertising effect, maybe it is to celebrate the new emperor, Arasaka Insurance, a subsidiary of the Arasaka Group, officially proposed a special claim day for the death of the Crystal Palace. All customers who have purchased the Arasaka Accident Insurance before, if they are lucky enough to be smashed by Crystal Palace debris They are willing to double the compensation for death and injury.

Considering that today is the day when Saburo Arasaka's death is announced to the world, and that the Crystal Palace is Arasaka Group's most important space asset, the ironic effect of this move is almost full, and anyone can easily pass this The extremely unserious activity felt the impact of the Arasaka Group's change of helm on this mega-corporation.

From this point of view, Arasaka Lai Xuan spent the smallest price to get the greatest reward. All he needs is to send a signal to tell all Arasaka people that he is the new emperor now, and the old emperor has already gone to his palace with him. Claimed.

At 11:53, the angle was already very low. There was a scary meeting between the Crystal Palace and the federal east coast city. A civilian jet was directly crashed by the Crystal Palace when it was trying to take a close-up view of the Crystal Palace.

At 11:58, the residents of Night City could already see the huge Crystal Palace flying over the city at a frightening speed, and the quiet little Miaomiao, who was thrown back to the street by Wang Zhengdao, saw the huge floating object above his head after waking up. , Rolled his eyes and passed out again, and several homeless men ransacked his wallet and clothes.

At 12:01:06, the Crystal Palace had arrived at the scheduled crash point, and the homeless tribes and logistics transport vehicles within a range of [-] kilometers all received the signal to leave at a dangerous speed. As for how many people will listen, no one knows.

At 12:01:19, under the watchful eyes of Tang Ji and Wang Zhengdao, the Crystal Palace collided with the earth with a destructive momentum, but at the moment before the collision, the previously laid quick-response gel field unfolded, and at zero It swelled rapidly in a few tenths of a second, trying to act like a car.

That was deployed by Mikkelsen in advance, but as far as Tangy is concerned, it is meaningless. The quick-response gel is not a panacea, at least it cannot provide a buffer for this kind of thing.

The impact splashed hundreds of meters high and hundreds of tons of sand. Accompanied by the hurricane brought by inertia, the area flew sand and rocks, the earth trembled, and the sky and the earth tumbling.

Tang Ji stood at a position three kilometers away from the landing, and his sunglasses were already broken by the splashed stones. Fortunately, the eyes behind the sunglasses were stronger than the sunglasses themselves, and the oncoming sandstorm brought a piece of sand and stones to Tang Ji's The feet are all buried.

The impact of the Crystal Palace caused a 7.2-magnitude earthquake, which could be felt even at the Night City border checkpoint [-] kilometers away. The few homeless tribes living nearby now have to break their heads The flow bears its own losses.

It left a 2000-meter-long 'scratch' on the ground, and four full impact points. The Crystal Palace bounced on the ground three times as if it was floating, and exploded at the last landing point.

In the end, less than 13.00% of the structure remained at the final impact point, and the rest were all scattered on the ground for several kilometers around. The radioactive materials carried in its power chamber spilled on this land, making it unstoppable within a thousand years. Not a blade of grass grows.

The federal army, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly entered the field and surrounded the surrounding area, prohibiting anyone from approaching.

Mikkelsen took a helicopter and landed in the nearby area after the storm and aftershocks ended. All four of his clones have lost contact. Judging from the current situation at the scene, there will definitely not be any survivors. unless.
"Sir, we have scanned three life signals!" The drone team quickly sent back the message from the search drone.

Mikkelsen was very curious as to who could survive more tenaciously than his four clones, so Tang Ji walked into the ruins area where the wreckage of the Crystal Palace turned into.

What was once a trillion-dollar engineering marvel slammed from the tracks and what was left behind looked no better than the rubbish left behind after a car accident, littered with debris that would still be burning if it wasn't for the violent impact Let there be not many combustibles around, and it is already a big fire at this time.

Tanguy is very efficient at this job, and save for a few oversized wreckage that he can't move, he can walk around the ruins along the sidelines.

Flame, poisonous and harmful gas, high temperature, suffocation, and even radiation pollution, none of these can harm him, he is a man of steel in the true sense.

"The first life response is 160 meters in front of you, and it is moving slowly. You have to speed up." Mikkelsen's voice came out through the communicator, and Tang Ji quickly saw the target of the life response he said.

A pool of muddy flesh. He used to be a human being. He was wearing a burnt black suit. Obviously, the material was very special. Even after encountering so many things, he still remained roughly intact. The bondage of the new master.

The bones and even the internal organs of the man's whole body were broken, but the tough skin still bound the solid-liquid mixture in his body, like a snake, slowly escaping from Tang Jilai's direction under the peristalsis of the muscle tissue.

"It's a gluttonous cell implanter, and it's already been covered." Tang Ji pawed at the flesh and blood tissue overflowing from the opponent's clothes with his feet. Individuals who survived by themselves no longer exist, and now this pool of flesh and blood is just gluttony.

A group of gray-black flames covered the 'survivor', leaving only a broken suit after the flames.

"Very good, the next target is 640 meters northwest of you, in the wreckage numbered C." Tang Ji heard Mikkelsen say this through the communicator, but Wang Zhengdao had already brought another Mikkelsen Appeared in front of Tang Ji.

"I didn't ask you to come here for some rescue mission. We can also deal with a single gluttonous cell infected individual. I came here to let you judge by intuition. What is here is a threat to us and the entire human race. " Mikkersen whispered to Tang Ji: "The ghost will not hesitate to expose its ambitions, but also to throw the Crystal Palace to the earth. It must have something to ask for."

"Intuition?" Tang Ji felt as if he was offended, but he didn't.

"If I could, I'd have brought that coward Mr. Luck, but I haven't been able to find him since what happened on the Crystal Palace, and he probably just happened to be lying in bed hiding from all my eyes and cameras. Sleeping in a corner, but now I can only rely on you." Mikkelsen said helplessly.

Due to some kind of self-preservation mechanism from Mr. Lucky, Mikkelsen has never come into contact with Karl Weller without Tangy nearby. The other party's damn ability directly avoids the probability this choice.

I'm afraid that even if Karl Weller is willing to cooperate with Mikkelsen himself, his ability will not allow it.

"What judgment do you have?" Tang Ji couldn't turn his intuition into a radar to control at will, he could only get more information from Mikkelsen.

"The power core, the power core of the Crystal Palace." Mikkelsen expressed his thoughts: "When Saburo Arasaka started planning the Crystal Palace, I wondered about this question. How did he obtain such sufficient energy? If Arasaka A new, more efficient and more stable controllable nuclear fusion technology has been developed, and it should have come out to compete with us long ago."

"So I suspect that it may be some kind of rare resource that cannot be copied, or simply that a superhuman with the ability in related fields is doing repetitive work day after day." Mikkelsen's tone was somewhat hopeful: "In short, it doesn't matter What it is, and whether it still exists, can't let the ghosts get it."

In addition, it can't affect the current cooperative relationship between Ghost and him, but Mikkelsen didn't say this. If Tang Ji can handle things so perfectly, it will appear that he is incompetent in the middle.

Or to put it another way, if Tang Ji can do such a perfect job, then Mikkelsen may have more than 4000 clones, and I am afraid that none of them can rest in peace.

"Tlaloc Tlaloc wake up!" A loud noise made Joel Martinez gradually regain his sanity, and it took him a while to realize that Tlaloc was his current name.

"What happened?" General Joel Martinez's consciousness began to fill the entire hardware body of Tlaloc, and the omnipotent Tlaloc returned.

"There is a deviation in the Crystal Palace plan, and the wreckage is currently located in the wasteland 350 kilometers northeast of Night City." The ghost's tone was full of regret, which made Joel Martinez a little jealous, and he also hoped to relive such anthropomorphic emotions.

Tlaloc completed the inspection of his entire plan and understood all the variables that had been generated in the time that humans could not react. Tangji Tangji Tangji, he is like an uncontrollable variable, and every time he appears, he brings a lot of trouble.
Wait, the omniscience of the name Tlaloc receded, and the consciousness and memory belonging to Joel Martinez returned. He still remembered every second when he was killed by the opponent.

It seems that this time, the victim was a different person, the well-known Saburo Arasaka. Tlaloc found the traces left by Saburo Arasaka in digitization of the soul in a moment across the endless cyberspace, and confirmed that there is nothing but ghosts on the Internet now. , besides oneself, there is at least one independent consciousness.

According to the ghost's original plan, the Crystal Palace should have crashed in a dense tropical rainforest swamp in South America. The mass of quick-response gels arranged in advance, as well as the attributes of the swamp itself, can preserve the structural integrity of the Crystal Palace to the greatest extent. .

However, now that the Crystal Palace is directly crashing into the vicinity of Night City, Tlaloc can feel the emotional change behind the ghost,
He was mad.

Tlaloc tried to unpack the entire Crystal Palace fall plan, which was a very veiled act, and he hoped that his small movements would be hidden from the eyes of the ghost.

He did it to a certain extent, and through the unpacking of shallow information, he realized that inside the Crystal Palace there was a secret passenger who was not on all lists, a metahuman who had mastered some special abilities.

That's what the Ghost is aiming for.

"I need you to immediately send a prosthetic soldier into the fall area of ​​the Crystal Palace, disguise them as players, or whatever forces, I want that superhuman, it is the focus of our foothold in the world." The ghost may have noticed that Tlaloc This small gesture directly tells part of the truth.

The reason why the Crystal Palace was able to lift off so much earlier was because that damned superhuman possessed some kind of ability to strengthen the magnetic field. This ability eventually led to the controllable nuclear fusion reactor of the Crystal Palace being able to maintain stability for a long time.

The time when the superhuman was discovered can be traced back to half a century ago, almost the same time as the construction of the Crystal Palace. At that time, Saburo Arasaka had not yet formed a systematic concept of the existence of the superhuman. He regarded the superhuman as a gift from God. An opportunity to complete the Crystal Palace by yourself.

For so many years, that superhuman has been hidden in a secret cabin in the core area of ​​the Crystal Palace, in a state of being brainwashed, focusing on maintaining the work in front of him, working hard without complaint.

Although Saburo Arasaka hid very deeply, the ghost still found this clue and became crazy about it.

For these Internet beings, the importance of energy is self-evident. Phantom agrees with Saburo Arasaka that it is a gift from God.

Specter was sure the target had survived the fall, and he only hoped that Tlaloc's men would find it before Tanguy.

Tlaloc's prosthetic soldiers are a new type of soldiers modeled after the federal government's prosthetic soldiers. The only difference is that these soldiers are all clones, not natural persons. After they are informed of their targets, they can use time-sensitive elements unscrupulously.
