Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

……

Jenkins decided to take a gamble. Since he knew he would suffer a terrible fate if he failed in the struggle anyway, he might as well take the risk. He chose Night Corporation from among the companies in Night City as the source of the leaked company secrets.

If those blue-eyed people saw Jenkins, they would definitely say...

"6, someone's opened it!"

Jenkins, who had prepared the false intelligence, also mentioned the security department, saying that the department's use of false intelligence led to a misjudgment at the very beginning of the operation.

Rintaro: "Someone's been blatantly cheating! Isn't anyone going to do anything about it?"

Finally, Jenkins decided to escalate the matter to a higher level.

This intelligence will either get Jenkins out of his current predicament and buy him time and opportunity for a counterattack, or it will mean they all die together!

Chapter 107 Kill

"What? You want me to raid Vito's stopwatch shop and steal things? Sig! Are you kidding me! Don't you know how ruthless that guy is?"

"Damn it! Are you even a mercenary?! Do you know how much money they paid for this biotechnology project? Enough for you to live a life without working!"

"So many? What if he retaliates against us?"

"Retaliation? By then we'll have already flown away by air. There's no way he'll find us then!"

"Then how will you pinpoint the location of the object? I've heard that stopwatches are equipped with heavy machine guns in the military."

“Biotechnology requires a chip that can be stored in a constant temperature environment. His dilapidated house doesn’t have that capability. We sent people to scout his shop and found a suspicious high-power charging station, but there’s a hidden spot in the repair shop.”

"I've taken my car to get repaired once. They have heavy machine guns there, and their guns are almost as powerful as cannons!"

"Don't worry! I spent a fortune buying you some good stuff in Dogtown. I can take down even missiles, let alone cannons!"

"Is it really that amazing?"

"That's what the guy selling the goods in Dogtown said. I tried it with an armor-piercing round, and it didn't even leave a mark."

"Alright! Then see you in the next life."

Vito silently read the behavioral data of the reborn mercenary corpse. Just two hours earlier, when he and Jack were on a mission, the repair shop was attacked. Li Ying, who was changing the power supply to the incubator, killed four mercenaries, but she herself was also seriously injured.

Cha rushed out quickly, and the mercenaries underestimated the power of the modified machine gun turret. They were surrounded and wiped out in the repair shop.

Gloria is trying to save Liying, while Vito puts the biotechnology chip into the new incubator, his suppressed anger about to erupt.

Two hours ago.

The repair shop wasn't doing much business today. Liying was cleaning up the shop and also replaced the power supply for the chip incubator. Knowing that the chip was very important to Vito, Liying took it very seriously.

"Only one last set of wires needs to be connected before the power supply module can be completely replaced."

Liying murmured softly, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, her fingers steadily gripping the power connector, precisely aligning it with the slot.

Just as the power supply connector was about to lock into place, a deafening roar suddenly exploded!

At the entrance of the auto repair shop, a heavy machine gun suddenly roared wildly, spitting out tongues of fire. Thick bullets tore through the air, hitting the ground and splashing up pieces of gravel. The ear-piercing gunfire instantly shattered the silence of the shop, making the entire roof vibrate.

This heavy machine gun is a defensive fortification specially set up by Vito. It is equipped with a locking system and will never fire automatically unless armed personnel forcibly break in!

A surprise attack!

Liying quickly pulled out the Future and shielded the incubator behind her.

A full twelve fully armed mercenaries were launching a tactical assault on the auto repair shop. Dressed in combat uniforms and wearing full-coverage helmets, they were clearly well-trained professional assassins, their target being the biotechnology chip inside the control room.

The two mercenaries at the front were clad in super-heavy ballistic overcoats, with thick composite armor plates covering their entire bodies and even their prosthetic joints being extremely protected, making them resemble mobile steel fortresses.

They charged head-on at the heavy machine gun emplacement without hesitation, enduring a hail of bullets. The metal bullets dented their armor and sparked blinding flashes, drawing all the fire and creating an opportunity for their teammates to advance.

"Damn it! The firepower is off, you guys hurry up!"

The remaining ten men quickly divided up the tasks. Six of them instantly dispersed, occupying the high points and vehicle cover around the repair shop to form a tight outer perimeter, blocking all entrances and exits, and keeping their guns pointed firmly at the interior of the shop to prevent any possibility of breakout or support.

The remaining four men picked up their kinetic assault rifles, lowered their stances, and swiftly advanced towards the control room. Their movements were agile, and their tactical coordination was flawless.

"The target is in the internal operating room. Damn it, we have to get it!"

Four ganking mercenaries rushed to the door of the control room in an instant. Without the slightest hesitation, they used their gorilla arms to tear open the door.

Bang bang bang!

Li Ying's three-shot burst from the future accurately struck the eye of the gorilla-armed mercenary.

"Someone's here! Tony's dead!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

A burst of bullets came in from outside the door.

Liying was shot in the abdomen.

She groaned and collapsed onto the incubator.

"Idiot! Don't hit the chip, rush in! There's only a pistol inside!"

Their goal is chips!

Liying glanced back at the incubator; it had been riddled with bullet holes.

The pale blue interior lights began to flash wildly, and the power lines, affected by the ricochet, emitted crackling sparks.

Liying's heart tightened—the chip absolutely could not be compromised!

She inserted the chip into her brain, where the environment was kept at a constant temperature. At the same time, Li Ying made up her mind that unless she died, no one would be able to take the chip away.

She gripped the pistol tightly, enduring the pain as the wound went from numb to excruciating.

"There's an exoskeleton armor blocking the way inside, so we'll break in one by one!"

When the mercenaries stormed in, they saw a woman who had been shot pointing directly at them; she clearly didn't have much of a prosthetic body.

This deal is in!

boom!

A bullet struck the mercenary's medium armor first.

Then, Liying nimbly took precise steps, her body pressed against the wall, drawing an arc in the less than five-square-meter operating room.

She flipped her wrist, pointing it towards the gap in the mercenary's armor on the back, a weak point in the medium-weight armor.

Boom!

The mercenary collapsed to the ground without even letting out a scream.

The other two mercenaries were instantly enraged and simultaneously turned their guns on Li Ying, bullets whizzing past her ears and hitting the mechanical arm behind her, scattering countless metal fragments.

Li Ying crouched down, lowering her body to the minimum, and rolled to the door. She raised her gun with her right hand, aimed at the line connecting the mercenary's neck armor on the left, and steadily pulled the trigger.

boom!

The bullet precisely pierced through the gaps in the armor, striking the carotid artery. The mercenary clutched his neck and collapsed to the ground with a thud, his combat uniform instantly soaked in blood.

The last medium-armored mercenary went completely berserk, abandoning his precise shooting and wildly firing his rifle while charging towards Li Ying, wanting to use his armor advantage to engage in close combat.

Li Ying's eyes remained calm and unwavering. Driven by her combat chip, she made the most accurate predictions. She suddenly dodged the barrage to the side, pushed off the ground, and leaped into the air to the mercenary's side.

With his left hand, he gripped the mercenary's wrist tightly as he held the gun, while with his right hand, he pressed the muzzle of the gun firmly against the gap in the helmet below the mercior's eye socket, showing no mercy whatsoever.

boom!

The last gunshot rang out, and the mercenary fell heavily to the ground, never to move again.

In less than ten seconds, three mercenary corpses wearing medium-sized armor fell to the ground, blood flowing through the cracks in the floor.

Li Ying was breathing heavily. She could no longer feel the pain in her wound, but the wound wouldn't disappear into thin air; it was affecting her movements.

The heavy machine gun blew up two heavily armored mercenaries, and Xiao Cha, who came to provide support, also eliminated the mercenaries outside one by one.

Liying immediately turned and lunged at the incubator, intending to make emergency repairs, but her vision became increasingly blurry, and she eventually collapsed onto the incubator.

Xiao Cha, who arrived quickly, carried her to the operating room. She was quick and efficient; she swiftly cut open Li Ying's clothes to perform surgery.

Upon receiving the notification, Vito instructed Cha to pile all the bodies in the repair shop, close the door, and wait for his return.

Vito then called Stins and told the surrounding NCPDs not to meddle, and after receiving their assurances, he transferred five thousand euros to Stins.

Chapter 108 Shedding the Pharmaceutical Factory Clothes

The humanitarian laboratory for biotechnology was destroyed, all researchers were killed, and all data was destroyed.

This loss infuriated the biotech company, as the experiment was not only costly but also crucial for the company's transformation into a true hybrid.

Biotechnology has gone to great lengths to gather information about the attackers.

At this point, a mysterious informant told Biotech that their chip might be in the hands of a Night City mercenary.

Meanwhile, the informant claimed to have access to the stolen chip data and said he was willing to make the deal if the price was right.

On one hand, the biotechnology company spent a huge sum of money to buy the data, and on the other hand, it hired people to check whether the chip was really in the hands of a mercenary.

Then came the raid by the Reincarnation Mercenaries.

Vito asked Jack to help transport Gloria and Reynolds, while he took Cha to the car to find the middleman who distributed the orders.

He had another prosthetic volume chip inserted into his brain. Some people are addicted to alcohol, some are addicted to sparkling, and perhaps Vito is now also addicted to prosthetic volume chips.

"Little Cha, when we go in, we'll beat up anyone we see!"

"it is good!"

The two arrived at a pharmacy that provided health insurance. This pharmacy was owned by a middleman who connected with mercenaries. He had gathered a group of people here to provide expensive prosthetic rejection inhibitors and painkillers to patients at the bottom of society.

He had collaborated with biotechnology companies for many years, and even his ability to act as an intermediary was supported by biotechnology. The endless corporate espionage war led biotechnology to focus its efforts on this continent, ultimately choosing Night City.

When Vito and Cha went in, the shop assistant was introducing the products to the two young men.

"Prosthetic rejection? That's because the inhibitor you're using is too bad! Try this, the latest product in biotechnology. I can tell you, other pharmaceutical companies have tried every possible way to crack the formula of this inhibitor but failed. In the end, they had no choice but to secretly buy it and mix it into their own products."

"If you buy our painkillers, you can have your entire body below the neck replaced with prosthetics and nothing will happen!"

A young man, not quite believing the guy in front of him, questioned him.

"Didn't the news say it all? Your painkillers are completely useless; it's all made up!"

"Making it up?"

The shop assistant's eyes widened as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If this were made up, biotechnology would have gone bankrupt long ago. You young man clearly doesn't understand what a ruthless business war is!"

This is all dirty water being thrown by companies that can't stand seeing success in biotechnology. The news even said it was leaked by a hacker. Where is that hacker now? Who knows, this information might just be a pile of shit they've been shoving in their offices!

The two young men were somewhat hesitant. Their budget was limited, and this prosthetic installation was the key to joining a gang. They couldn't afford any mistakes, as those gangs wouldn't accept people who were drooling and whose prosthetics were malfunctioning.

The shop assistant seized the opportunity to continue tempting her.

"You two are going to do something big, right? Listen to me, buy the best inhibitors and painkillers, and get a good pair of arms. That's the beginning of your legendary journey!"

I've been in this business for so many years, and many famous figures in the underworld have bought their stuff from us. I think you guys are pretty good, so I'll secretly add a can of glitter to your bags later. This stuff is the hottest right now, and all the big shots love it!

Write your names on this paper; consider it as me asking two legends to sign them for me in advance!

Finally, the two young men were persuaded by the salesperson. They had already spent most of their savings of many years on a set of second-hand prosthetic bodies, and used the rest to buy low-quality inhibitors and painkillers with severe side effects.

They walked out of the pharmacy filled with hope for a bright future, then each tried a small puff of glitter. They knew it was good stuff and had to use it sparingly—before joining the gang, they couldn't even afford a house.

After seeing the two young people off, the shop assistant gave a disdainful laugh.

"Two more idiots shouting about being legendary in the next life!"

After finishing speaking, the clerk hummed a little tune and returned to the counter, crumpling up the autographs on the counter and throwing them at her feet. There were already several similar crumpled pieces of paper there.

The shop door was slid open.
