From ship girl to machine god

These are all changes brought about by the boss. It can be said that meeting the boss is the luckiest thing in my life!And the same goes for you. "

At this point, Mann patted him on the shoulder and asked David a soul torture: "Imagine what your life would be like if you didn't meet the boss?"

What would happen if he didn't meet the blue bird?Obviously this question left David unable to answer.

Although he would think about what would have happened if he had not met the blue bird these days, he really couldn't answer this question.

Had he not met the blue bird, perhaps his mother would not have been in a car accident at all. He would still be sitting in the classroom at Arasaka School, listening to the teacher's praises of Arasaka, and being trained into a dog that is loyal to the company.

Of course, it could also be a car accident, but because he couldn't raise the medical expenses, he could only watch his mother die because he had no money for treatment. He was dropped out of school because he couldn't pay the tuition, and ended up living on the streets instead of becoming a street gangster. , that is, he will also embark on the path of becoming a mercenary.

All in all, no matter what the situation is, it won't be better than it is now.

Therefore, David is indeed grateful to Jade Bird, not only because Jade Bird paid for his mother's medical expenses, but also because Jade Bird saved his life.

"I understand, without the boss, I might be dead now." David replied seriously to Mann, and at the same time expressed his own thoughts: "I will do what I should do and work hard to repay the boss. !”

David's words made Mann very satisfied. He smiled happily and said: "Yes, that's right! The boss may indeed not need us to do anything for her, but if we don't need it, that's the boss's own business.

For us, the only thing we need to do is to complete our duties and do our best to believe in and repay the boss, regardless of whether the boss needs our repayment!We all have to do it! "

"Yes! Boss Mann!" David's emotions were aroused by Mann, and his overall condition was undoubtedly much better than before.

Seeing this, Mann nodded with satisfaction and looked at the Arasaka convoy in the distance, which was gradually approaching the ambush circle. Then he shouted to his team members in the communication channel: "Everyone, prepare, the big fish has taken the bait! Don't do it." Carelessness allowed this big fish to get off the hook.”

Mann's words at this time did not mean that everyone should perform well and strive to annihilate this convoy at once, but he hoped to be able to hold back a little and draw out Adam Hammer, who was concerned about the prosthetic King Kong project, and this obviously needed to be held back. Get some firepower.

Otherwise, if these guys who have been equipped with a full set of new prosthetics are full of firepower, this team will have a luxurious package of Yan Family Wealth or the Hall of Rebirth.

In fact, others didn't need Mann's reminder at all. Blue Bird had already told them before.

So when the convoy entered the ambush circle, although Mann and others launched a fierce German attack on the convoy, they only beat up other vehicles around the transport truck and did not actually cause any major casualties.

However, they were not forced to stop as Mann thought. The transport vehicle in the middle began to accelerate away from the scene as if it didn't care about anything.

"Mann, ask Pila to release the drone. That transport truck is unmanned. I'll hack in and shut it down!" Sasha's voice came from the communication channel. As a hacker, she finally did not directly Charge on the battlefield, but learned to support from the rear.

After Mann understood the situation, he directly signaled Pila to fly the drone, and he shouted to Falco, who had been on standby: "Falco, bring the car! Let's catch up, don't let them run away. !”

Chapter 129 Hospital Attack

When Mann led David and others to rob the Arasaka motorcade, V and Jack were squatting outside David's mother's hospital room, bored.

"To be honest, although it's good to be like this now, it's still boring to stay here like this every day!" Jack complained with a yawn. Because he had to watch 24 hours a day, he and V even had room and board these days. Here it is.

Fortunately, both of them have endured hardships, and as people from lower class backgrounds, they are not particular people either, so they can still endure it.

The only thing that made Jack feel uncomfortable was the boredom of the night vigil. Because someone had to keep an eye on them 24 hours a day, he and V could only take turns, with one watching the other for a while, and rotating every few hours.

It's not hard to pass the time between two people talking during the day, but it's difficult at night when you're alone in the dead of night.

After all, if there is no entertainment, just sitting around will make people go crazy from boredom.

"That's what this kind of work is like. You have to be on guard 24 hours a day, and you have to be alert all the time. When I was still in Arasaka, this kind of work usually had two teams of people, or one team was divided into two groups and rotated. Make sure everyone is online at all times." Compared to Jack, V was not used to this kind of task.

In other words, she was used to it when she was in Arasaka, so she was not as bored as Jack and found it difficult to pass the time.

"Arasaka sounds quite humane, but I remember you always worked overtime before?" Jack smiled and tortured V's soul.

Hearing this, V just smiled bitterly and then sighed with emotion: "At that time, I was working hard to keep climbing up, and Arasaka's own system was like that, so working overtime became the norm.

To be honest, I haven’t experienced what it feels like to get off work on time for a long time. In other words, in Japanese companies, there is no concept of getting off work on time. "

"That sounds really miserable!" Jack curled his lips, muttered in a low voice and skipped the topic: "Speaking of V, based on your experience, do you think the people from Arasaka really came back to kidnap David's mother? Are you threatening him to pretend to be that bullshit prosthetic King Kong? Is it really necessary for us to be so guarded?"

Jack was very enthusiastic about taking on this commission because he was able to connect with a famous big shot like Qingniao and because they really needed work.

In addition, he and David were able to talk reasonably well, so Jack didn't think there was anything wrong with this job at first.

After all, mercenaries are just a group of guys who get paid to do things. Since someone pays them, they have to work. No matter what kind of dirty work it is, they must do it at the next moment.

This is the professional ethics of being a mercenary.

But after staying in the hospital for so many days without incident, and because of the relationship between himself and V, staying there for so long still made Jack feel tired.

However, in response to Jack's question, V's expression immediately became serious and he solemnly said to Jack: "Believe me Jack, there is nothing that the company cannot do.

Kidnapping, threats, intimidation...the company's methods are always [-] times dirtier than you imagine. When I was in the Arasaka Counter-Intelligence Department, I just handled it..."

Just when V was about to tell Jack about his personal experience, there was a sudden explosion outside the hospital, followed by a burst of fierce gunfire.

V stopped talking instantly, and Jack quickly looked at each other, then each pulled out their weapons, pointed the muzzles at the door of the ward, and then took turns to cover themselves and came to the door.

Listening to the fierce gunfire coming from outside, V winked to Jack and signaled him to cover himself, then opened the door and ducked into the corridor outside.

Jack immediately followed V and stepped out, and the two of them pointed their guns in the direction of the gunfire.

At this time, the corridors of the hospital were filled with gunfire and crying sounds. It was obvious that someone had launched an attack on the hospital.

V's first reaction upon seeing this was not to rush out of the corridor to see what happened, but turned to Jack and said: "Jack, quickly contact Miss Aotori and tell her something happened here! This must be someone from Arasaka, I can hear it. Their gunshots.”

When Jack heard this, he didn't waste any time and immediately contacted Jade Bird. He and V retreated to the room, pulling a cabinet to block the door.

Although this is of no use, it can buy them some time and play a certain defensive role.

V came to the hospital bed, looked at David's mother who was still in a coma, pulled out all the instruments and needles on her body, picked her up and carried her into the bathtub in the bathroom of the ward.

This was to protect David's mother from being injured by stray bullets during a fight later. After all, compared to the hospital bed outside, the wall in the bathroom could more or less block the bullets.

Although V clearly knows that the stopping ability of this hollow cement wall is limited and that technical weapons can easily penetrate it, it is still better than leaving it on a hospital bed outside where it may be hit by stray bullets at any time.

After settling David's mother, V did not rush out of the bathroom, but squatted down and blocked the bathroom door. He looked at Jack who was leaning in front of the door and asked him: "Have you contacted Jade Bird?"

"Jade Bird said her people will be here soon, so let's hold off for a while." Jack had already dialed Jade Bird's phone and told her about the attack on the hospital.

At this time, the expression on Jack's face was quite relaxed, and there was even a sense of joy that he finally had something to do. After all, he had been waiting here for several days and could finally have a good fight.

V didn't care about Jack's current mood. She just listened carefully to the gunshots outside to judge the situation of the battle.

This hospital has a military technology background, and military technology has also deployed security here, but V has seen those people, they are just ordinary security personnel. Although there is no problem in terms of combat effectiveness against street gangsters, they have to confront the company's combat troops or The agents were undoubtedly out of their depth.

Regarding the situation at hand, V was not as optimistic as Jack.

V, who is familiar with the company's style of conduct, clearly knows that since Arasaka dares to send people to attack the military technology hospital, there is no doubt that he has made enough determination. The ones who come will definitely not be just ordinary security guards, but the company's elite. combat troops.

With the level of military technology and security, it is estimated that they can only block Arasaka's people for a few minutes at most. This can be heard from the sparse gunshots that have begun to appear.

Now V could only hope that the people sent by Blue Bird would arrive soon, otherwise she and Jack wouldn't be able to survive for long.

Chapter 1 Arasaka Attacks

Of course, Blue Bird was prepared for the hospital to be attacked.

V and Jack are the first line of insurance to block harassment from some minor characters Tanaka may hire, as well as a small number of Arasaka security guards who may be sent.

After all, Tanaka is only the person in charge of the Prosthetic King Kong project and the director of the Arasaka Night City branch. His power and resources are limited. He can hire some mercenaries or send a team of ordinary Arasaka security guards.

If you want to dispatch elite agents or send a large number of combatants, this is obviously not something that a supervisor can handle.

Regarding this point, Aotori has confirmed with V. As someone who was once more or less the first-level supervisor of Arasaka, V is relatively clear about this.

However, considering the possible unexpected changes and the possibility of taking action personally when Adam Hammer was actually fished out, Blue Bird still asked Alpha and Lucy to take Rebecca with them as a second line of insurance and stay near the hospital. On call.

The reason why they are not allowed to be stationed directly in the hospital is to be able to take the initiative better.

After all, if you put this team of people directly in the hospital, they would have to deal with it, whether they were street gangsters or mercenaries.

In this way, it is easy for the enemy to collect intelligence through such small means, and thus be targeted based on the intelligence and become passive.

But it's different if they hide in the dark. General street gangsters or mercenaries can be left to V and Jack to deal with, while Alpha and the others can be used as reserve insurance to appear when they are really needed. It has an unexpected effect.

As for the second one, it was to take care of V and Jack's face and avoid unnecessary trouble.

The commission given by Blue Bird to V and Jack is to protect David's mother from being attacked. If he sends his own men to take charge of the same thing at this time, it will undoubtedly make V and Jack feel that Blue Bird does not trust them, and it will make them feel that Blue Bird does not trust them. They feel that they are actually being given a handout and will appear redundant in this mission.

This is obviously not what Jade Bird wants.

So even though Alpha and others are only one street away from the hospital, and they can directly monitor the hospital with their naked eyes, V and Jack still don't know that they are actually in the unfinished apartment building opposite the hospital.

Alpha discovered Arasaka's people as soon as the hospital was attacked, and immediately asked Aotori if they needed to take action.

But Jade Bird stopped them and waited until they received a call from Jack. Then Jade Bird sent a message to Alpha, allowing them to move.

After receiving the permission, the three people rushed out of the abandoned apartment where they were hiding without hesitation, and directly launched an attack on the hospital where the battle was in full swing.

This time, Alpha did not only use a short knife like he did when he teased David before. Instead, he pulled out the long knife from his waist, and pulled out a brilliant sword light that passed through Arasaka's team at the entrance of the hospital, and directly cut off three Arasaka security guards with one knife. upper body.

This was just a routine operation for Alpha, who had previously used Sianwistan. Her original prosthetic body could kill all the Arasaka security guards at the entrance of the hospital in one stop, not to mention the more advanced one she was using now. Customized prosthesis.

The reason why she only killed three was because Qingniao told her not to fully show her strength.

Therefore, Alpha did not activate the various abilities attached to the body's prosthetic body, but simply relied on the regular performance of the leg prosthesis to pull out the sword light at an extremely fast speed.

Behind her, Lucy shot out extremely thin single-molecule cutting lines from the fingers of both hands, cutting the two Arasaka security guards and the vehicle they used as a cover into a pile of pieces like a dance.

Although she is a hacker, since escaping from the Arasaka facility, Lucy has been running around the world to avoid Arasaka's pursuit. In the process, she has gradually developed her own fighting ability.

After all, if his combat effectiveness is not good, he will be captured by Arasaka and turned into a living graphics card.

Therefore, although Lucy's combat effectiveness cannot be said to be very strong, at least normal shooting and close combat are not a problem.

After Jade Bird changed her outfit, she not only had top-notch hacking abilities, but also had good combat effectiveness.

For example, the single-molecule cutting wires shot out from her ten fingers at the moment were specially made for her by Blue Bird. Each of these ten wires is five meters long and can carry at least ten tons of pulling force. After charging, it can be charged with high-voltage electric shock or generate high temperature. It can even change its physical properties instantly and become harder after straightening.

If we explain it in game terms, it can add lightning or fire attributes to attack. It can cause cutting or slashing damage in close combat, and it has certain blocking attributes.

There is an old saying that the weirder the weapon, the faster it will die. The word "fast" here has two meanings. One is naturally used by experts to make enemies die faster, and the other is used by people who don't know how to use it to make themselves die faster.

Lucy used to use single-molecule cutting threads, but at that time she only used one, and her level was just makeshift. Now she has to control ten threads, which is obviously not something she can control at once.

Fortunately, Blue Bird wrote a combat training program for her. Lucy spent a lot of time practicing, and then she mastered this strange weapon. She could instantly weave ten threads into a web, just like a spider hunting prey. Enemies are netted and then cut into pieces.

It may not be strong enough to deal with masters, but it's more than enough for self-defense.

Of course, it’s equally useful for cleaning.

However, Rebecca didn't make any special moves. She just used her two hands with two mechanical arms behind her to hold an assault rifle and two machine guns and shoot at the hospital entrance. The shooting was quite satisfactory.

However, the firepower output of the two machine guns was still enough. Except for the few who had been killed by Alpha and Lucy, the remaining Arasaka security guards were taken away by Rebecca in one round of strafing.

Looking at her results, Rebecca wiped her nose with satisfaction: "This automatic aiming combined with the mechanical arm is very useful! The boss asked me to collect combat data by +1!"

"A team of Arasaka security guards have rushed in. Rebecca, go and deal with them." Lucy had already invaded the hospital's internal network and saw the Arasaka security guards heading toward David's mother's ward through the camera, so she asked Rebekah to Card goes to support V and Jack.
