The hybrid who walks infinitely

Chapter 207 The Fifth Corporate War, Prologue
Look far away.

Lu Li, who had nothing to do, no accidents happened, and had no intention of intervening in Lucy's mission, actually discovered the joy when he arrived——

A building stands opposite Arasaka Tower, with an orange-red wall on the front and very familiar square characters on it:

Kang Tao.

A Far East company.

Under the cyberpunk world view, one of the largest weapon manufacturers on earth has continuously introduced the most advanced technology on the market over the years, gradually consolidating its position as Arasaka's competitor.

And in the field of high-quality weapons and equipment suitable for military and civilian use, the performance has always exceeded customer expectations.

But the most worth mentioning is Kangtao's outstanding performance in the research and development, patent and production of intelligent weapons and weapon systems. They have always been in the undisputed first place in the relevant market segments.

Out of curiosity, the snake group disbanded.

They collect further information for their owners in the form of bioelectricity.

[Kangtao was originally established in Southeast Baodao. Later it was reorganized and its headquarters moved to Shengjing.

Due to the bold and aggressive strategy and official support, it immediately entered the top market in the field of weapon manufacturing at an astonishing speed.

As of 2076, Kang Tao is primarily known for its weapons manufacturing, especially their latest generation of "smart" weapons -

The weapon launches caseless guided munitions using warhead rotation stabilization technology...]

"What a pity, the world is as dark as crows."

“When you see a red name, you shouldn’t have expectations.”

There was a hint of loss and emotion in his tone.

In her arms, Bulma blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously, "What's wrong."

After the words fell, a snake carrying all the information entered the mind of the beautiful girl scientist.

[Use your deep background to buy the Night City Council and exempt you from paying income tax;
Colluding with official institutions, sacrificing the interests of the poor, and planning to purchase Taipingzhou with one dollar;
Provide donations to support puppet spokespersons;
An explosion occurred in the oil refinery, killing more than 5 low-level workers. He immediately issued a false statement, claiming that he was not at fault, and that the accident was caused by the improper operation of the dead refinery workers.

The only credit to them is that they buy a gold membership to the trauma team for every employee at the cost of 50 years of service to the company. 】

After digesting all the information in an instant, Bulma became more and more puzzled. Capital is like this... quite normal, why does the dog man show disappointment.

Lu Li didn't explain, and immediately returned to normal, not bothering to dwell on the embarrassing matter.

It doesn't matter, the reincarnation will purify everything.

And at this time, Lucy, who was not stained with a trace of blood, put away her weapon, hummed and walked out of the Arakasa Tower, her steps were extremely brisk.

Anyone can see that Shu Ji is in an excellent mood, which is unprecedented.

Soon.

Leaders of other big companies who were always concerned about the fate of the Arasaka Company and prayed for their own fate saw an extremely dazzling white light burst out.

In the live broadcast, the air, sound, and picture seemed to be suffocated.

When their vision gradually recovered, people suddenly discovered that the tower-shaped building that symbolized the authority of this giant company seemed to have been swallowed up by something, evaporating on the spot, leaving only a bottomless pit.

A relaxed Lucy lit a main god cigarette.

Seriously, she knew, whether it was Arasaka or several other oligarchic companies, what would happen if one building was blown up? Just build another one.

Nothing can shake the foundation.

In the eyes of the big shots, no matter which legends in Night City are the struggles of the humble mice, because the things they did never really changed the social structure.

To put it more bluntly, from the point of technology point to the step of uploading consciousness, breaking the situation is far from being as simple as bombing buildings or killing people. If the leaders of blood-sucking capital arrange it casually, there will be countless resurrection points called mikoshi.

But... the East China Sea team will always be the most special one, a small test, and they need to make a plan for the next step.

at the same time.

I have never thought so deeply, and the cyberpunks who are right to watch the excitement coincidentally, and a term comes to mind:
Headquarters bombing.

The only uncontroversial part of this story is that it happened on August 2023, 8.

The scene is similar to today.

At that time, a nuclear explosion leveled a large area of ​​Company Plaza and the Civic Center.

Everything else, from the casualty numbers to the culprit of this attack, is pure speculation, gossip, lies and conspiracy theories.

The most famous version, and the one most widely disseminated by the company's public relations machine and media, claims that a group of unidentified terrorists launched an armed attack on Arasaka Tower and subsequently caused the explosion.

It's a pity that no one will take the company's propaganda seriously, and there are many versions popular on the street:

Some people say that this is self-directed and self-acted by insiders. The purpose is to escalate the conflict between Arasaka and military technology, and then cover up the evidence with carefully planned explosions.

There are also people who swear that there is a secret laboratory under the Arasaka Tower, and the accident was caused because the experiment was out of control.

Among them, how much is the truth, the freely employed cyberpunk and the residents will probably never know the answer, and even if they knew, the innocent victims affected in that tragedy would not be able to survive .

But they have witnessed history with their own eyes. It can be said with certainty that this incident is very likely to change the world pattern. In the live broadcast, those company dogs were executed one after another, and no one was spared.

War is inevitable!
"Sub-quest, clean up Night City within 10 minutes and destroy all oligarch arrangements here.

After completion, all participants will receive 1000 bonus points. "

And the declaration of the Lord God followed.

Bulma, who was making soy sauce all the time and didn't want to get blood on her hands, was also not left behind this time, which made her a little excited. It was the first time that the big ball of light, which was described as a black-hearted businessman, was praised.

Of course, space has no intelligence. To be more precise, it does not have emotions such as joy or anger, but only various pre-set mechanisms, so it will not make any changes because of someone's few words or praise.

……

Night City, Liberty City.

This time, it finally became worthy of the name.

The layout of the big companies has been wiped out, and most of the people who stay in the city alive and breathe the air are ordinary office workers, or mercenary cyberpunks.

And when a comet hits the earth like this, the bar is bound to be full.

"This is clearly a naked declaration of war, broadcast live around the world."

"All companies will send troops here, and even fire nuclear weapons. Can those mysterious guys catch it?"

Obviously, the people of Night City have already sat down in the front row of the auditorium, waiting for the giant corporations to join forces to launch the fifth global war.

During this period, few people wanted to flee.

And support outweighs opposition.

First of all, there is no escape.

If you stay in Night City for a long time, those who have grown up in the city for as long as they can remember can't help but wonder: Why do people want to live there?
The truth is, as long as you go outside the city yourself, this problem will be solved on the spot, even if you know you are in the abyss, you are still willing to stay.

After all, the outside world is even less exciting. With indiscriminate exploitation of resources, accelerating pollution, and rapid climate deterioration, it is not a good place to spend a happy weekend.

Even though there are many things wrong with Night City, it allows the citizens to get a short relief for an hour in the colorful casinos and flashy cocktail bars, forget about the miserable life, and pretend that everything will be fine.

But the barren land outside the city was barren, the oil field was raging, and the poisonous smell was even stronger, which couldn't even paralyze the nerves.

Nature, is dead.

In addition, for the bottom, their life has always been a pool of stagnant water.

There is no need to talk about whether you can see the end at a glance, such a stupid question, the facts are already clear, it is completely a pool of rotten, smelly stagnant water.

No matter how bad life is, it cannot become worse than it is now. The death brought by the war is not terrible, and the arrival of the East China Sea team has really awakened hope.

Without relying on the prosthetic body to fight and baptize an international metropolis in an instant, if you do it a few more times, won't things like the company be swept into the dustbin of history?

When everyone came to discuss the biggest change in history with different attitudes, the shackles were lifted, and Lucy, relieved, closed the global live broadcast and was participating in the meeting of the five-member special team of the East China Sea team.

【Company Name: Arasaka】

[Industry: Corporate security, banking, manufacturing]

[Founding time: the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

Founder: Arasaka Sasai]

【Headquarters: Tokyo】

【Branch Headquarters: Night City Enterprise Plaza】

[Key characters: Arasaka Saburo, Arasaka Yoshinobu, Arasaka Hanako, Arasaka Michiko]

[Number of employees: over 59.5]

[Market value: 8900 billion euros]

[Company overview: Arasaka Corporation is undoubtedly one of the most influential giant companies in the world. They provide services such as corporate security and banking...]

This is the information Lu Li holds in his hand.

Established at the beginning of the 20th century, Arasaka, as a real manufacturing company, once relied on Japan's pre-war and wartime economic conditions to skyrocket all the way.

Moreover, based on the foresight and business ability of its founder Arasaka Sasai, he successfully led the family out of the huge crisis after the defeat of the country, and continued to grow, becoming an enterprise with fixed assets all over the world.

After Sasai's death in 1960, Saburo Arasaka, an important target, took control of the company and began a series of far-reaching reforms—expanding high-level security and banking services and transforming it from a family business into a global group company.

In the fourth corporate war, which is the most recent one, Arasaka was defeated by his old rival Militech (military technology), and was hit hard by it.

In the following ten years, almost all forces withdrew to the mainland and split into three competing organizations:

The conservative [Nagi] group led by Arasaka Hanako, the [Hato] group led by Arasaka Michiko in alliance with the American government, and the rebel organization of Arasaka Yoshinobu, the son of Arasaka Saburo.

Affected by internal and external troubles, it was not until six years ago that Arasaka regained his vitality, returned to Night City, restarted the global layout, and demonstrated the dominance that an oligarchic organization should have.

"The old guy has lived for more than 100 years, and his body can't stand it any longer. According to the established fate, he will be strangled to death by his son next year, and he will be resurrected in the form of a digital soul with the help of mikoshi."

The speaker is Lucy.

Leaving aside the hidden setting and the theory of the convergence of the heaven and the sphere, she is actually the reincarnation who knows the world best.

Because of this, even the captain, Lu Li, was very willing to obey the arrangement.

"The founders of other giant companies must also have this method. It is obviously unrealistic to eradicate the roots in the short term."

The corner of Ji Ji's mouth raised, and he smiled, "But there's no need to deliberately find the Mikoshi space, clean up the forces they created, and replace them with robots, such loyal and reliable things."

"In this way, even if you return, it's just a lonely ghost."

A very simple truth.

The polished commander is of no use at all.

After the beheading operation, the machine creations developed by Bulma will be used to manage those large companies.

And as long as the benefits are raised, the low-level office workers won't care who is the boss at all.

"By the way, Arasaka Yoshinobu is the second son of Arasaka Saburo, you can try to win him over. With his help, the process of inclusion will be much faster."

"Okay." Lu Li nodded.

Data shows that Arasaka Yorinobu was born at the top of human power, but he was kind-hearted and sympathized with the unfair fate of the poor, and was seriously inconsistent with his father's aggressive capitalist rule concept——

I hate the intricate power struggles within the family, and look down on militaristic old immortals in my heart.

So when he was young, he broke with Saburo Arasaka after a big quarrel, and established the gangster [Steel Dragon], which symbolizes the spirit of rebellion, to violently resist his own group.

Unfortunately, under the godlike power of the company, it was crushed to ashes without accident.

After burying the youthful frivolity and the ashes left by his comrades, Lai Xuan realized that he could only disintegrate from the inside, to destroy the deformed Arasaka...

Engels?
Lu Li simply put a template on this person he had never met before.

Then, disappeared from Night City.

Beheading the old aristocrats is nothing more than a difficult matter that needs to delay time and prepare. After understanding the basic information, it can be executed directly.

The great enemy of the five-person reincarnation team will come in fifteen days...

early morning.

outskirts of Tokyo.

A Japanese-style manor, standing quietly in the sunshine, surrounded by tall and thick walls, yet simple and unsophisticated, the green potted plants used by the rich and powerful in Night City to symbolize wealth and status are everywhere here.

In addition, the special sign of the Arasaka clover is scattered outside, reminding tourists who accidentally approach here-this is the industry belonging to Arasaka, please leave as soon as possible!

Inside, there are gathered private guards in black suits, each of whom is carefully selected from the best-performing field agents, and a large number of the most advanced prosthetic bodies are implanted in their bodies.

This group of guards cooperated with cutting-edge equipment to closely monitor the surrounding situation, with serious expressions, and did not let go of any trouble.

In order to survive, Hanako Arasaka spared no effort, but the teleportation effect produced by the space bombing, with the normal technological level of the cyber world, cannot prevent it at all...
