Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

"Hey, bug, did you hack in?"

Jack's loud voice rang out on the shared channel.

"It'll be a little while. They've set up a separate subnet here. It'll take a bit of time, but not too long. If you're bored, you can have a smoke with Vito."

T-bug is infiltrating the Vortex Gang's subnet, and today, Vito and Jack's target is the Vortex Gang's leader, Conte.

After losing the battle with the Tiger Claw Gang, these madmen who had modified their bodies with cybernetic implants all retreated to the old industrial area in the north.

They were involved in the business of selling stimulants and reselling prosthetic bodies, and occasionally they would steal a few orders from the company.

In Night City, Cyber ​​Psychosis was once another name for the Vortex Gang.

Conte is the new leader of the Vortex Gang. In recent years, being a gang leader has been a high-risk profession; the last one was killed in a street brawl last year.

After Conte took over, there was opposition within the gang. Royce, the former boss's second-in-command, was always nagging, which annoyed Conte.

How do you win over your subordinates?

After racking his brains for many days and inhaling countless sparkles, Kanter finally came up with a good idea.

Avenge the former boss!

Later on, Conte was unable to take down the Tiger Claw Gang, nor could he find the escaped Dexter DeShawn, but he was still very willing to cause trouble for a hacker.

So he gave the order that whoever killed T-bug would become his second-in-command, the gang's second-in-command.

And that's how trouble came to T-bug.

"Alright, the Vortex Gang's subnet has been compromised. This Kant isn't much better; his network setup is like a rotten piece of cheese. I've shut down their turrets and am using the cameras to locate Kant."

T-bug's voice rang out again.

Vito looked at the Whole Foods factory, put his arm around Jack, and pointed it out to him.

"Jack, look there, under that fence. That's where I was when I first came to Night City, without even a pair of pants."

Jack thought Vito was joking.

"I'm glad you weren't naked when I saw you."

"Found it. Kant is in the middle of the second floor of the whole food factory. I'll send you the location. After you see it, tell me how you want to infiltrate, and I'll plan the best route for you."

T-bug quickly sent over a topographical map of the entire food factory.

After Jack finished reading, he looked at Vito.

"The terrain is complicated. What do you think, Mano? Should we split into two groups or go together?"

Vito was also a bit troubled by this place. The Whole Foods Factory was crowded with a lot of Vortex Flymen. If a fight broke out and the other side called for reinforcements, he and Jack could easily be trapped in the factory.

"Bug, is there any way to make Counter come out on its own?"

"Jack asked."

"Sure, you can ring the doorbell and ask Kant if he wants to go to Fatty Chicken Wings."

T-bug was speechless.

At that moment, Vito suddenly thought of something and said to T-bug.

"We'll call Kant out, then you hack their access control system, and as soon as Kant leaves, you'll close the main gate. Can you do that?"

T-bug assessed the intrusion delay and then said.

"Okay, but are you really going to do this?"

Vito explained.

"The situation inside is complicated. An assassination attempt would inevitably alert others. We cannot give the enemy the opportunity to call for backup and block the door."

"Jack, go get the car ready. We'll leave once we've taken out Conte."

"Okay!"

With the plan finalized, Vito went to the entrance of the Whirlpool Gang to call for help.

"Hey, Qiuya, uh, I mean, is Kang Te there?"

"Damn it, where did this punk come from? What does he want with the boss?"

"Damn it, you idiot, make Kant come out here and see me, or you'd better wait to be shot!"

The whirlpool gang member inside was furious when he heard this; he had never seen such an arrogant person in his life.

He immediately opened the door, grabbed a machete, and confronted Vito.

"Damn it, are you looking for death? This is Whirlpool Gang territory, you dare come here looking for trouble?"

bump!

Without further ado, Vito delivered a powerful kick to his underling's chest, sending him flying backward and crashing to the ground. He felt as if his prosthetic body had malfunctioned.

"Tell Kant to get out here, or I'll blow this lousy factory to the sky!"

The Whirlpool Gang members struggled to their feet and then hurled threats at Vito.

"Damn it! You just wait! You've messed with the wrong person!"

At this moment, Kant was on the phone with Royce, discussing the issue of recruiting new members—well, not discussing.

"Royce, did you have your brain replaced with adhesive after surgery? I told you to recruit people, and you brought me two idiots and a lunatic? Why don't you just go out and grab a few people, lock them up, and shove some prosthetics on them? And you're even looking for volunteers? You're just asking for trouble! What did you say? Damn it, I have to go now, you better get this sorted out, Royce!"

Hearing that there was trouble at the door, Conte's anger flared up even more.

"Damn it, these days even the most insignificant people want a bite. Guys, grab your weapons!"

Conte and his gang stormed into the door in a fit of rage. Seeing only a young man standing there, he immediately drew his pistol and charged out.

"Damn it, kid, I'm going to gouge your eyes out and put twenty more in them!"

The moment Kant stepped through the door, something unexpected happened; the door was remotely controlled and slammed shut with a bang.

"Hey, Kant, T-bug says hello!"

dong dong dong dong!

The distinctive sound of the Ajax rifle rang out, and the large-caliber rifle bullet fired by this cyberpunk-world AK rifle shattered Conte's dream of becoming the boss.

The high-explosive shell struck Conte precisely on his modified composite prosthetic eye, shaving half of his head into the wall.

squeak!

Jack parked his Magician right behind Vito.

"The target lost vital signs, they realized what was happening, and the door was about to go out of control in four seconds."

Vito didn't rush to leave; he took a modified .31 heavy machine gun from the vehicle.

"He killed Kant, kill him!"

"The door's open! Get out!"

When the Vortex gang members rushed out the door, they discovered that Vito had closed it not to prevent them from running out, but to prevent Conte from escaping.

The 31 heavy machine guns sounded the death knell, each shot taking a life. Stray bullets pierced gas tanks in the factory, causing explosions, and members of the Vortex Gang were reduced to pieces amidst screams.

After firing all his bullets, Vito threw the gun into the car and went to check on Conte, carrying the euros.

"Damn it! A gang leader who only carries cheap stuff, why would I bother coming up with these schemes to outsmart you!"

Bang bang bang!

Vito, now fully certain of Conte's death, whistled as he got into the car and leisurely drove off with Jack.

In fact, Vito misunderstood Conte. Conte had installed an external combat prosthetic in the factory, but the incident happened so suddenly that he didn't intend to go through the trouble of wearing the prosthetic to deal with a mercenary who didn't know his own death.

"Bug, the delegation is complete. We're such a great team."

Birds with similar feathers will naturally gather together.

"Well said, Bug. I didn't know you were a philosopher."

"This is not my saying; it is Aristotle's."

"Uh, Ashmond?"
