Infinity, progress from Arasaka

There is no system that will execute the host if the task is not completed, nor is there any task guidance or reward for completing the task. She herself is just a slightly smarter girl and does not have the extraordinary power to concentrate all the powers in herself, so just follow the steps.

In short, she had no sense of urgency.

Vera learns whatever her parents tell her to learn, does whatever her parents tell her to do, and even if she is curious, she will first state her opinion and seek consent. She always performs well and becomes the "other people's child".

At that time, the suffocation of the cyberpunk world, the cruelty of Night City, and the struggles of the lower world were not truly presented to Vera.

She experienced more of the convenience and entertainment brought by the technological iterations in the cyberpunk world.

She has the luxury of growing up step by step according to her parents' expectations and becoming what they call a good child. She just needs to follow the path set by her parents and take over. Vera has no rebellious period.

Although I was not born in Rome, I am on the road to Rome.

Until Vera lost her support from wind and rain.

There is no more leeway...

In passivity, she must step up her urgency and face the true side of the cyberpunk world.

During that period, some people wanted to swallow up the inherited assets from her through "reasonable means", some wanted to cheat and defraud her, and some even wanted to marry her to obtain the "political legacy" of her parents and push her into bed and have sex with her.

Vera naturally would not obey and chose to resist.

She is lazy and cherishes her life, but it doesn't mean she is really cowardly.

After that, she changed her good girl attitude, handled her parents' funeral, properly entrusted the "inheritance", and then plunged into Arasaka Tower Academy and pushed herself into crazy study.

Perhaps the body and brain will truly mature at that time, or perhaps the soul and body will be completely integrated, or perhaps there will be a change in mentality.

Vera began to have very strange dreams.

As the dream deepened, she felt relaxed, peaceful and tranquil. Gradually, she saw the world in the dream clearly.

She seemed to be in another world, living another life, a very real one, with all five senses, and she could really control and act according to Vera's thoughts and ideas.

As time passed, Vera found that she had not forgotten anything she had seen and learned in the 'dream'. She was still in Arasaka Tower Academy without any change, but the power that continued to surge in her limbs and bones, and her increasingly clear thoughts were so real.

That's not a dream.

By now, Vera has become accustomed to another perspective, the existence of another 'me'.

Clearly there are two consciousnesses, two perspectives, two thoughts and ideas based on their own realities, but they blend together perfectly. It feels like that is the way it is. Vera does not feel any discomfort and it does not affect her at all. She will do whatever she thinks as she works at Umbrella.

To give an inappropriate example, Vera is like playing a game, controlling another self to play a role.

A role-playing game that can perfectly understand the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in the "game", acquire the knowledge, skills and insights therein, and even integrate everything there into one's own.

The power of two 'wei'.

This is how Vera jokingly calls her own power.

Even if both of them were just ordinary humans, adding them together would be enough for Vera to surpass the limits of human body functions. Moreover, there were many ways to enhance.

Where is Sanwei?

Vera was looking forward to it.

But the most important ones at the moment are:

vent!

"Director Russell has arrived."

At 4:9 pm, the Arasaka armored hovercraft that Vera was riding in drove to the old neighborhood in the northern industrial area of ​​Night City.

In the air at the corner of the street, after receiving Vera's order, the armored floating vehicles of the 2nd Special Assault Force Team dispatched from the Arasaka Force camp in Night City have arrived.

bang——

The turret turned downward, and the Arasaka armored hovercraft hovering near the intersection turned on its searchlight. Scarlet lasers were projected at the intersection to mark out a large landing area. Pterodactyl attack drones and Octant heavy combat drones were buzzing around.

The hatch opened with a whoosh.

dong dong dong-

The cabin was packed with Arasaka heavy-armored soldiers who jumped out, crashed to the ground, and landed steadily.

"Shit, something big is going to happen!"

"Go, go, go!"

"It's Arasaka's heavily armored soldiers!"

……

A storm is coming, and pedestrians who sense that something bad might happen immediately flee in all directions. Waiting for the traffic light? What the hell, it’s more important to escape!

Boom!

Zheng——

After landing, Vera swung the precision thermal samurai sword and the smart shotgun suitable for street fighting in her hands, put on the heavy bulletproof helmet, and lit up the scarlet holographic tactical goggles.

At the same time, on the other side of time and space.

The press conference at the Umbrella Building in San Francisco.

Surrounded by burly black-clad bodyguards, Vera, the director of Umbrella, was standing on the podium with an expression as if her father had died.

Audience:

"Director Russell, may I ask why you still choose to destroy nature and our common home after receiving our joint letter? Do you want our descendants to live in a cold world without greenery and animals?"

"Director Russell, I heard that the equal rights organization in San Francisco is seeking to sue Umbrella Corporation for alleged racial discrimination in its recent recruitment of new employees. How would you respond?"

"Director Russell, prosthetic limbs and artificial steel have replaced the flesh and blood given by God. In the face of opposition from the church organization, are you not going to say or write anything?"

"Director Russell..."

……

Every time they asked a question, the accumulated negative emotions burst out. On this side of time and space, it was as if she was being questioned personally. Under the helmet, Vera's breathing became heavier.

"Huh... your Qi training skills are still not up to par."

Since the 'me' in the other world cannot vent, let me vent it.

'Reasonable and legal' venting.

"The retrieval and cleanup mission begins!"

Killing time.

Chapter 015 Super Dream Experience: Arasaka Slaughters Uzumaki

tumultuous!

Running, wind, fire, explosion.

"call!"

"Hoohoo!"

The man opened his mouth so wide that he could feel the hot air he inhaled through his trachea.

It was a run with all one's might, breathing through mouth and nose, and it felt like a dull pain in the chest.

A suffocating atmosphere filled the air, as if there was endless darkness behind him and a huge devil's claw was approaching.

He turned his gaze:

Fires can be seen burning in the campsite painted with graffiti of a cracked-skull mechanical spider, the symbol of the Vortex Gang.

Illegally modified motor vehicles are everywhere, and the crowded, old, dirty and messy houses and narrow alleys are filled with thrilling sounds.

Manic heavy metal punk music, the roar of machinery, the vulgar conversations with the smell of alcohol, the inhuman howling of insane people, and, bang ...

Under the Arasaka samurai-style tactical helmet with a standing object, the demon mask with eyes flashing scarlet light became clear in the shadows.

Arasaka Heavy Armored Soldier.

The huge M2067 defenders in the hands of those corporate killing machines roared louder than heavy metal punk music, and the flames from the muzzles flickered and illuminated the narrow streets and alleys of the old northern industrial area, which seemed particularly dim as dusk approached.

Squeak, creak, creak—

Armor-piercing incendiary bombs hit the wall, rubble flying everywhere, and the cheap prosthetic external parts of the Vortex maniacs, which were not much harder than glass at this moment, exploded. The bullets penetrated the electroplating layer under their skin, and crushed the flesh and machinery in clusters of exploding sparks.

"Shit! It's the company dog, sneak attack!"

"Let's fight these ballless bastards!"

"Who brought Arasaka here..."

……

That's the dirty talk of the Uzumaki gang members.

It's easy to tell them apart. The exposed cyber implants all over their bodies, the terrifying degree of modification and the fancy metal tattoos all over their bodies, and the madmen who have had the flesh and bones from their frontal bones dug out and replaced with spider-like cyber compound eyes, you can tell they're from the Vortex Gang in Night City without even looking.

"The superior has ordered us to recover the company's lost goods and reclaim its assets. Anyone suspected of being hostile will be killed without mercy!"

There are also cold voices from Arasaka soldiers who are like killing machines.

Boom!

His eyes moved upwards following the sound.

The Octant heavy combat drone with the Arasaka Clover logo came roaring in with a piercing sound. The flames from its machine guns were like elongated, intermittent lasers, licking and cutting through the ground.

Several valuable modified speeding cars were smashed to pieces, emitting black smoke and exploding.

The world is spinning.

He was blown away by the gust of air.

After rolling for a while, his body let out painful groans as shrapnel cut into his torso. He was losing blood and his vision was gradually blurring. However, his hearing was still sharp, and various unrecognizable gunshots rang out one after another.

boom.

At this moment, accompanied by a whistling sound that squeezed the air apart, the anti-theft window on the second floor of the factory building exploded, glass splattered, broken concrete fragments and twisted and deformed old air-conditioning outdoor units fell down, and a tall dark figure lightly jumped down from the gap in the burning second floor.

It pierced the steel roof of a van modified by the Vortex Gang like a javelin.

quack-

The metal made a teeth-grinding twisting sound, and the exposed welding marks and rivet fragments flew high. The vehicle tilted and the driver's head hit the door directly. The person in the passenger seat almost flew out of the window.

Because of his close field of vision, he could see clearly who was coming.

A scary figure.

He is over 1.80 meters tall, with very long legs. He is wrapped in black clothes and black armor, covering his entire body tightly. A black cloak with a red background is fluttering behind him. There is an Arasaka Clover logo on his shoulder, and his head is covered by a matte black helmet with narrow V-shaped goggles emitting a creepy scarlet halo.

The sharp and slender metal-textured knuckles were stained with blood, and the hand was holding a tube that had been torn off, with blood-red and milky white liquids dripping from the head.

The head of a highly modified person with probably very little flesh on it.

hum.

The thermal energy samurai sword with an elongated and straightened blade was swung, making a crisp sound, clang!

It was like cutting butter. The cockpit of the Uzumaki Gang's van, which had been modified into a street-level armored vehicle, was cut open. Everything happened so quickly that the blade grazed the faces of the two screaming Uzumaki lunatics inside.

When the Arasaka woman left, the car overturned, but there was no movement in the cab, and the exploded sticky liquid flowed out from the gaps in the car.
