Zongman: Simultaneously travel through time and start a one-person chat group

Are they playing cards with Gloria? No, to be more precise, they are friends who save fallen women.

Of course, Gloria isn't the only one on Cyberjoy's list.

Because communication is just like that, there are many friends who I can occasionally communicate with, and Qiao Qiao has many of them.

After all, under the crazy crushing of the rules of this cyber society, the so-called human relations, morals, and customs, which are completely impossible to be considered as values, have all been forced to be abandoned.

Everyone is under tremendous pressure from society. If you don't want to become a cyber maniac, you will definitely need to find a suitable outlet to vent.

Many women cannot afford a psychologist when they are poor, so Qiao Qiao became the psychologist.

At this moment, Qiao Qiao subconsciously glanced at the heroine of the show, Lucy, who was standing next to him.

If Qiao Qiao was left alone here, then this series would be full of torture from beginning to end. At the beginning, she stabbed her mother, and then stabbed everyone one by one, leaving only Lucy alive, but it is not certain whether she still has hope of survival.

The origin of all these tragedies was that David and his mother were involved in a car accident caused by a fight between a gang and a company.

Many people were affected at the time, and David's mother was obviously seriously injured. However, because of poverty, the trauma team only took a look and confirmed that David's mother did not have insurance, so they left her there to die.

However, due to the delayed rescue and the accumulated fatigue from working so hard, Gloria's condition deteriorated rapidly...

Although it is also possible that only the cheapest treatment fees can be paid, which leads to the fact that doctors nowadays only care about money and disregard human lives.

As a result, David couldn't even see his mother for the last time. All he got was a cold reply from the computer: "The lowest level of medical care package does not include visitation." While he waited for his mother's ashes in the self-service incinerator on the street.

"That would be a shame."

A living person is reduced to ashes in just two days...

Qiao Qiao suddenly remembered that other Qiao Qiao had similar experiences.

But, fifty thousand euros.

This concept of value is no small matter.

You have to know that this price is enough to buy a military-grade prosthesis. If this money was used in a sex doll store, it would probably be enough to be carried out on a stretcher.

In this city where there is no humanity, only conflicts of interest, and everyone will betray you, it is impossible for anyone to use such a large amount of money for others.

Oh, except for Arasaka's compound interest service, maybe.

However, Arasaka requires you to have "good credit" to provide this service. That is, they will use big data to investigate your financial situation clearly, and will only generously lend you money after knowing that you can afford the expensive interest, rather than a cold response of "you don't have good credit".

With David's family and Gloria's deep debt situation, it certainly wasn't enough.

"Even if it is an investment to estimate the protagonist's potential, although David is the protagonist of Edge Walker, there is not a single bit of value on him." Qiao Qiao complained from the perspective of actual interests.

This world is not a hot-blooded youth comic, and the protagonist cannot reverse the predicament just by being passionate.

David has been hit by reality since the beginning of the show, even though he is one of the best students in an elite school.

This is true even for V, the real protagonist of Cyberpunk. In the first three scenes, he is beaten.

……

"The Five Turbidities are an evil world, a hell on earth." Qiao Qiao sighed as he lit a piece of white paper wrapped around an ancient herb and closed the phone.

"Excuse me, let's continue drinking."

However, this time, the glass that Qiao Qiao picked up was not filled up by the person next to him.

And it was snatched away.

“???” Qiao Qiao looked at Sasha who snatched the cup with a question mark on his face.

For some reason, Sasha seemed quite angry, like a cat whose dried fish was taken away from him. He said sarcastically, "Okay, just a phone call, a casual drawing, and a military-grade prosthetic body is given away directly."

Qiao Qiao finally understood and asked, "Are you monitoring my messages?"

"Humph!"

Needless to say, in the cyber world, it is extremely easy for Sasha, as a hacker, to eavesdrop on conversations.

"This isn't someone's mother who was in the hospital because of a car accident. You don't want to watch someone turn into a tin can."

However, Sasha didn't think so. With a look of disgust on her face, she said, "His mother? So 123 friendly? She's obviously one of your 'good friends'. You're so hungry that you won't choose what to eat. Eh - I didn't expect you prefer old ladies."

After saying that, Sasha stood up and prepared to leave.

"Don't you want to stay?"

"No more drinking. I'm full."

After Sasha left, the others, seeing that the situation was not good, greeted Qiao Qiao one by one with a smile.

Suddenly, Lucy, the heroine of Edgewalker, greeted Qiao Qiao and shouted, "Thank you for blocking it for me just now. Um, catch the bullet with your hand."

Cyber ​​characters usually have a crazy attribute, Rebecca is like this, so is Lucy. Now she looks noble and cold, but in fact she is also a crazy woman inside.

"Just saying thank you is useless, why don't you buy the bill for me?"

Qiao Qiao said with a giggle.

Although the balance shown on Qiao Qiao's account is not much now, at least he will not clean up the market here.

However, Lucy, who wanted to pay the bill, took a look at the prices on the menu and fell silent.

When Mann and others saw that the stingy cyborg doctor suddenly became so generous, how could they not rip him off!

The drinks ordered were all of the best quality, and he was tactful enough to leave early to prevent Qiao Qiao from suddenly changing his mind and running off to pee.

"..." Lucy was silent for a while, then looked at the balance in her hand and said directly, "Sorry, I can't pay it back. I'll talk to you next time."

"If you want to thank me, you have other options. You got a chip from David Martinez these days. You've caused him a lot of trouble. Return the chip to him and remember to say sorry to him. After all, we poor people should not bring harm to poor people."

When Cyber ​​Qiaoqiao was toasting and laughing, many important figures on the tower not far away were feeling a little uneasy.

194. Cyber ​​Bridge: The appearance of the Cyber ​​Beast Soldier makes Arasaka panic

Inside Arasaka Tower.

Countless Arasaka researchers were forced to work overtime, and the object of their overtime was the cyber monster that was now lying on the test bench.

Without even looking, Qiao Qiao knew through the Evil Ghost Network that while he and his friends were laughing and joking, one of the two cyber beast soldier experimental machines had been destroyed.

However, even though one was killed, the performance of these two Cybermon was truly amazing.

The first opponent the beast soldiers fought was the trauma team responsible for live medical work on the front line.

After they were injured, they immediately sent a signal to let the team arrive within three minutes. Then, the armed doctor who said, "As long as you have money, I will risk my life to rescue you even in a war zone" fought with two cyberbeast soldiers who were dismantling cybernetics.

As a result, the people were not rescued. Three minutes later, the trauma team company decisively chose to refund the money and left in a hurry, leaving only the trauma team's equipment on the ground for the cyber beast soldiers to upgrade their equipment.

After the Trauma Squad evacuated, the next in line was the Terrorist Squad, which was responsible for city security. This team was an elite special operations unit for the Night City defense.

All members are equipped with military-grade prosthetics, and are professional soldiers fully equipped with military equipment.

But in fact, this mobile team has a bad reputation, because as long as this mobile team arrives at the scene, there will be casualties.

Sometimes people even heard that as long as some powerful prisoners were willing to accept reform, they could join the department, which made the department's reputation even more notorious.

As for the Terrorist Mobile Team, the basic prosthetics include the Swanstein Type 2 chip, the Krenzikov nervous system, external power-storing legs, and powerful equipment that can freely carry various military-grade weapons.

It can be said that David's highest configuration among the edge walkers is just like this, and he is still thriving at the bottom.

Every terrorist mobile team has almost the same basic configuration. No wonder when Adam Heavy Hammer heard David exclaim, "How come you also have Sian Westin," he said calmly, "This is just a basic military configuration."

Because, in fact, that is the case.

Faced with countless members of the Terrorist Mobile Team who could briefly accelerate and move as if they were pausing time, the Cyber ​​Beastman did suffer a loss at the beginning, but he managed to rely on his thick skin and flesh to kill a member of the Terrorist Mobile Team. Then, after pulling out the Swanwesten from the opponent and installing it on himself, the gap between the civilian and military-grade prosthetics of both sides was greatly reduced.

A fierce battle ensued.

The final result was the victory of the cyberbeastmen. After stealing a series of military equipment including Swanwestin, the cyberbeast soldiers were able to evolve again.

The news that the cybermon soldiers had killed several groups of mobile teams in a row also reached the ears of many people.

The Terrorist Mobile Team represents the city's security level of combat power! They were also at a disadvantage at the hands of two unknown creatures that suddenly appeared. Such a major event immediately attracted the attention of a large group of people.

After all, there are no secrets in Night City's communications!

The Night City emperor Arasaka Corporation, which showed a very strong interest in the two unknown creatures, quickly dispatched action teams and various military vehicles for support, uh, wanting to be one step ahead of other forces in capturing the two unknown monsters.

So the Arasaka Operations Force tracked down the two behemoths and a small-scale war broke out in the badlands.

After Arasaka Corporation lost nearly two companies of troops, Arasaka finally invited Buddha Adam Hammer to join the battlefield.

In the hands of this only living legend, one of the invincible cyber beast soldiers was finally killed, while the other took the opportunity to escape and lost its trace.

However, Adam's Hammer did not pay a price in this small-scale war. Now, after being severely damaged, it is rebuilding its body.

When one of the beast soldiers disappeared, the one that was killed was quickly sent back to Arasaka Tower for testing.

When everyone thought that such a huge thing had a fully mechanical structure inside, however, the moment they took it apart, all the Arasaka researchers were stunned.

Under the cyber-machine-like structure, there is actually a flesh-and-blood biochemical humanoid that maintains this terrifying structure.

"Unbelievable~!"

"What a completely new species this is."

Looking at this cyber-flesh and blood technology structure, and seeing the countless prostheses being connected to the flesh and blood creations and able to be used, this has violated the three views of cyber scientists.

The biological samples were sent to the Arasaka Biological Research Organization, and a very horrifying report was soon received.

Because, according to the gene sequence inspection, the genes of this biochemical monster actually belonged to a human.

"My God, I can't imagine how a human being can turn into a biological monster."

"If it is a human, how can it operate such a huge body?"

"According to the cyberpunk human limb law, it is impossible for someone to install thirty arms, two tails, eight artificial eyes, and three hearts on himself and still be able to operate them freely. What's more, it is impossible for someone to install Sianweistan on his spine and install other Sianweistan on other spinal nerves at the same time."

"No neuro-inhibitors were detected in the body, which shows that this creature is able to bear the mental erosion of so many prosthetics."

After the dissection, no research was done on how flesh and blood drive the prosthesis, because the data obtained could not explain why this cyber monster could disassemble other people's prostheses and then install them on its own body like building blocks and make them work immediately.

As we all know, the more advanced the prosthesis is, the more similar it is to the human body before the modification, because it is a private customized bionic prosthesis, which is the most expensive.

For examples like Mann and David, whose bodies keep getting bigger and bigger, this is considered cheap modification.

They are all civilian-grade prostheses for public use, or even modified prostheses assembled from excellent parts taken from other cyborgs. The biggest disadvantage of this kind of prosthesis that is not synchronized with the original body is that it can trigger the onset of cyberpsychosis to a great extent.

The cyber monster before us clearly violates these two cyber laws.

First, they are not limited by cybernetics.

Second, this thing did not go crazy and become a cyberpsychopath, because from the video we can see that these two monsters have been learning how to fight more efficiently.

All these situations drove the Arasaka scientists almost crazy.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Impossible!"

The next day, the head of the biological research organization, with black eye sockets and seemingly in an indescribable state, issued a crazy declaration: "This flesh-and-blood monster is a human being. He is the future of our species!"

"Even when the creature's brain was blasted through, its flesh and blood are still active and regenerating. This proves that they are immortal creatures! Quick, inject the inhibitor quickly! Otherwise, they will be resurrected at any time."

"This thing has the quality of evolution. No matter what cyber equipment enters the body, after the initial conflict, the flesh and blood will transform itself according to the conflict. My God, I have never seen such a phenomenon. Cyber ​​prostheses that are not customized will not conflict at all. As long as they have enough cyber prostheses, they can continue to evolve!"

"They are also quite smart, with quite active brain areas and considerable learning abilities, and they will gradually upgrade their hunting strategies."

"If this thing is deployed in a downtown area, it will be difficult for ordinary troops to fight against it."

"' "Once the opponent snowballs and completes the co-evolution, then we are likely to face a monster of the legendary level of Adam's Hammer..."

"..."

"..."

Arasaka's chief scientist spoke like a madman to the higher-ups.

"It won't suffer from cyberpsychosis, can obey orders from its superiors, is immune to light firepower, and can only be destroyed with heavy firepower. Wow! What an excellent war weapon! Hahahaha, an immortal creature that is constantly evolving! What is this!"

……

Only after bringing down the chief scientist, who had not slept all night and was extremely excited, did the Arasaka executives start the discussion.

What the Arasaka high-ups are afraid of is not that this thing has some kind of evolutionary potential and how much of a threat it will pose to humans, because if such a crisis occurs, they can all go to the moon and become digital life forms.

So, their concern is that...neither scientists nor hackers can find any characteristics from this thing that are related to several other competing companies.

"Kantau? Or military technology?"

"But, there's no doubt that if this isn't Kang Tao, who can develop such cutting-edge weapons, it must be military technology."

For a long time, the technologies of multiple companies have been similar and basically balanced.
