The Creators: From Night City

The residual anesthetic made Isa's vision look like it was covered by a blood-colored filter, and the restraints of the operating table dug deep into her skin, making her unable to move.

She was attracted by the noise of the bone saw and unconsciously turned her head to look to the side.

She couldn't help but scream when she saw her companion being disemboweled on the operating table.

A few hours ago, the two were twisting their curvy bodies on the dance floor of a nightclub, but now when they meet, they are separated by heaven and earth.

"By the way, didn't I just hook up with a rich and handsome guy? Why am I here now?"

She spent three seconds looking around her, and another two seconds thinking about the cause and effect. She soon realized that she was trying to hook a rich man but ended up being hooked instead.

As the saying goes, the best hunters often appear as their prey.

Like a scam, the scavenger group has various ways of acquiring customers.

The most classic method is to kidnap people directly from the street.

Secondly, they can also use various methods to set traps on the Internet, mostly with clichéd means of enticement such as getting rich overnight, becoming famous overnight, a one-night stand, a rich woman asking for a child online, a job with free food and accommodation, working from 9 to 6, and a monthly salary of 30,000 euros.

The means may seem low-end, but as long as the audience is large enough, there will always be some smart and intelligent people who will be fooled.

Of course, another way is to buy.

Where there is demand, a market will be created; where there is interest, people will naturally participate.

Anglerfish, the new-age cyberhuman trafficker.

They would use various means such as free Mewtwo trials, money, sex, fraud, etc. to kidnap and lure humans, and then sell them to scavengers or medical institutions that need human experiments.

Isa is a typical example of someone who was targeted by an anglerfish, drugged, and sold to a scavenger.

The reason is that the prosthesis she wears is a high-end product, so she is naturally a high-value person.

The professional nightclub girl who recognized the reality immediately screamed.

However, the scavengers who perform the surgery are not regular doctors who are bound by rules and regulations. They have plenty of means and strength to deal with such medical disputes.

A big fight helped the little white mouse calm down from its fright.

The amateur doctor was applying special lubricating cooling oil to the saw, and Isa's newly bought studded top was roughly torn open by another scavenger, revealing her proud breasts.

This pair of breast prostheses was her capital to hang out in various nightclubs, and it cost her a lot of money at the time.

On weekdays, she always likes to wear carefully selected and matched clothes to highlight these two plump little cuties.

This is her core competitiveness in hanging out in nightclubs and making money, and it is her winning magic weapon that makes her stand out from many other glamorous girls and superficial besties.

But unexpectedly, it became the cause of her death today.

A sharp-eyed anglerfish had apparently spotted her 'core competitiveness' among a group of alluring women, set up a trap to kidnap her, and also took her best friend along.

To some extent, this also fulfilled her original intention of installing these two little cuties - to stand out from the crowd.

The uncovered "core competitiveness" is exposed under the operating light, but it is not as tempting as it was when it was vaguely visible.

Although the 'audience' was equally drooling over it, their focus was obviously a little strange.

"Boss, these two girls look like good people."

"Butcher" Khalid is obviously more professional and has a keen eye for talent.

"I told you to study but you didn't listen. All you did all day was drink and mess around."

He took the opportunity to scold his younger brothers who had no ambition to make progress.

"I've told you all before, love what you do and learn to keep up with the times. I don't ask for anything else, but at least you should be familiar with the new prosthetic models released by major companies. Otherwise, you'll be like him, blind and unable to recognize valuable goods. Not being able to recognize them is a small matter, but making less money is a big deal."

Khalid ignored Isa's resistance and reached out to squeeze her chest.

"These two treasures are from Body Quality Company's 'Sleep' series of prosthetic breasts. They appear to be the latest model. They're truly premium, high-end products. From the feel to the various functions, they're far superior to other prosthetic erotic devices on the market."

The old scavenger tapped the nightclub girl's head kindly, signaling her to be quiet.

"Save your energy, sweetheart."

"Be careful when you start digging it out. Make sure it's intact. Don't damage it. If it's not in good condition, it will be ruined."

The shame of being watched was suppressed by the fear of impending death. Isa finally couldn't help wailing and begging for mercy.

The result was a second big fight.

"This one is different. It has nothing on it. Its kidneys are pretty bad. I can tell it's been messing around a lot. But it looks like it can still be used. Remember to soak it in nutrient solution after you take it out. Don't let it get damaged again like last time. If you mess it up again, I'll kill you too..."

Just as 'Butcher' Khalid was training his younger brothers by words and deeds, several vehicles gathered from all directions outside the building.

Several ordinary-looking Mackinaw Larrimore trucks, led by three Thornton-produced "Black Mamba" box trucks, were parked in the open space outside the building.

Two of the "Black Mamba" container trucks opened, and combat teams wearing special "Sky Soldiers" combat uniforms filed down from them, each hiding around the building.

This 13-man combat team is the result of Mann's outstanding work.

They are all former workers of working age at the Coronado farm. Most of them are "cyber-savvy people" with families, stable assets and clean backgrounds.

After several months of systematic military training by Mann, coupled with continuous actual combat exercises, their military combat skills are now comparable to the private armed forces of large companies.

The [Standardized Rioter], [Standardized Oppressor], [Standardized Breakthrough], and [Standardized Shuttle] in their hands, and the [Heavenly Soldier] standard combat uniforms on their bodies, ensure that they are two to three generations ahead of the enemy in terms of weapons and equipment.

This is compared with the elite of large companies. If it is a scavenger, it would be a different story.

It can be said that it is almost equivalent to gun against gun, except that one is a Red Cherry rifle and the other is a 7.65 caliber, fully automatic submachine gun.

Not to mention the two 'heavenly generals' acting as door gods on the left and right. The heavy machine guns in their hands were the first standard heavy weapon of [Anti-Entropy] made by Jiang Bing based on Dolio's 'annihilation'.

There is no major improvement, except that the caliber has been "slightly" increased on the original basis, almost doubling the power at the expense of reducing the firing duration.

Of course, the ammunition supply box is also made into a unified shape to facilitate users to disassemble and replace it at any time.

All the combat uniforms on their bodies were painted black, and the shape of the masks on their faces was specially modified by Jiang Bing to look like Guy Fawkes masks.

The all-metal material makes the mask look extremely ferocious.

Not to mention that the other "Black Mamba" container truck is a rare information combat command vehicle in Night City.

Chapter 222 Strong Showdown

The carriage is equipped with the "Dark Web Mirage-07" cyber network combat platform produced by European Business Machines Corporation.

The "Dark Web Mirage-07" is nicknamed the "Cyber ​​Coffin" by the underground hacker community in Night City. Its computing power is extremely high, and continuous use for more than 2 hours may cause the user's cerebral cortex and synapses to overheat, resulting in brain burns, which can easily cause a person to die on the spot.

Despite this, it remains the dream rig coveted by all top cyber hackers.

In addition, in order to make up for the disadvantage of the weak hacker power of [Anti-Entropy], Jiang Bing spent a lot of effort to transform it. Not only did he optimize the shortcomings of heat dissipation, but he also integrated a lot of powerful equipment into the car.

First of all, the vehicle body interlayer is made of a full set of EMP buffer layers to resist tactical-level electromagnetic pulse attacks.

The exterior of the vehicle is equipped with a full set of optical camouflage repeaters. Although it cannot achieve optical invisibility, it can change the exterior color of the vehicle with one click, making it easier to blend into city traffic and camouflage.

Jiang Bing also had two light drones in the car, one military-grade high-altitude reconnaissance drone with optical camouflage, and a box of pseudo-nano swarm launchers.

The latter is a prototype technology that Jiang Bing developed during his recent practice.

It can launch self-destructive clusters of tiny swarm robots, physically penetrate enemy operating panels or equipment interfaces, and establish hard-wired backdoors for remote control, which is particularly effective against targets in closed intranets.

In this regard, Jiang Bing has learned some lessons from the "Voodoo Gang".

The roof is equipped with a foldable high-power "multi-frequency radar antenna" that can intercept all unencrypted signals within a radius of 5 kilometers, automatically decode and trace the source of threatening targets from a long distance.

Combined with the "Dark Web Mirage-07"'s built-in dynamic data furnace and fake base station network functions, it is enough for users to walk around Night City freely.

Not to mention that through the quantum signal array in the car, Qiwei, who is far away in the Badlands, can provide almost real-time assistance at the network level.

After obtaining the Voodoo Gang's 'legacy', Qiwei, an already extremely talented hacker, became even more powerful. With the computing power support of many large servers of the original 'Poseidon' carrier, the attack power on the network soared.

Mann was dressed as a [Heavenly General], his left hand still holding the thick shield that was strong enough to serve as the door of a bank vault, and his right hand was replaced with an [Anti-Entropy] standard projectile gun.

The people are his, so naturally he is in charge of this combat mission.

Old Logan was wearing the [Heavenly Soldier] combat uniform, but he didn't wear a helmet. Instead, he wore his cowboy hat and held the same [Standard Defender] shotgun as Vincent.

Slippery got out of a Mackinaw Larimore and handed over information about the cleaners in the building to the two men.

As the eyes and ears that Jiang Bing had always relied on in the early days of his business, the 'slippery' 'Orphan Gang' developed rapidly after receiving secret funding from [Anti-Entropy]. Its invisible tentacles had already spread across the entire Coronado Farm. Wherever there are children, there must be the 'Orphan Gang'.

Not to mention the "sly guy" whose brain is so sharp that he is suffering from increasing hair loss, and who has already begun planning to take control of the low-level sex doll prostitutes who make a living in the Coronado farm area.

If he really wants to accomplish this, and cooperate with old Logan's "Workers Mutual Aid Association", I'm afraid that the intelligence of [Anti-Entropy] at Coronado Ranch will be like a dragnet, more informed than the NCPD.

Speaking of NCPD, as long as Song Leckley can successfully take over, NCPD will be considered half of their own.

After completing the final confirmation, Mann, who came from the military technology special forces, said nothing more. He waved his hand and the operation proceeded as planned.

Nightclub girl Isa was like a pig, struggling constantly on the operating table.

In order to ensure the integrity of the nerve fiber stripping of the prosthetic breast, she was not even given anesthesia.

Just as the scavenger finished adjusting her own bone saw and walked towards her with a grin.

Just as she was staring in despair at the old blood and flesh splattered all over the surgical spotlight above her head, tears streaming down her face.

Just as the butcher "Khalid" was eloquently telling his subordinates the little tricks of various industries.

Just as the rapidly rotating bone saw created a swirling airflow, causing Isa to feel involuntarily waves of phantom pain on her chest skin.

All the lights in the abandoned pharmaceutical factory suddenly went out. Without electricity, the bone saw in the scavenger's hand naturally stopped turning.

"C, is the transformer overloaded again?"

Just as a scavenger was cursing and wanted to go to the generator room to check the situation, a miserable wail spread throughout the factory.

The entire abandoned pharmaceutical factory fell into silence in an instant.

It was not until the "butcher" Khalid kicked the corner of the table while cursing that everyone came to their senses and drew their weapons to prepare for battle.

A street sweeper tiptoed towards the door in the dark, trying to find out what was going on.

But before anyone reached the door, the thin metal door and its frame exploded inward.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the unfortunate scavenger's terrified wail could be heard: "It's the masked demons, a group of them, a group of masked demons!!"

Gunfire rang out instantly.

But as the crisp sound of bullets hitting metal continued to ring out, a burly figure broke through the dust barrier and appeared in front of the scavengers.

Just as everyone was panicking and terrified by the masked demon's past brutal deeds, more dark shadows surrounded them from all directions.

The first body died standing up.

To call it a corpse is not appropriate.

Mann used the shield in his left hand as a mobile cover. When he rushed to a distance of less than ten meters from the scavengers, he fired a high-explosive bomb from the [Standard Oppressor] shotgun in his hand, blowing the upper body of the person who was shot into a bloody mist.

He was at best half a corpse.

The next moment, more gunfire instantly tore through the darkness.

Some of the people present had prosthetic eyes equipped with night vision capabilities, while others, although unable to see, did not stop them from pulling the trigger to the bottom, pouring bullets and their anger into the man-eating darkness.

However, these actions are doomed to be futile.

Several dark shadows flashed out from behind Mann. The assault pistol on his left fired a homing missile from the under-mounted micro-missile launcher under the barrel, accurately blasting a scavenger who was trying to activate the defensive turret into a flaming fireball; the assault pistol on his right fired a series of gunshots that seemed to be connected into one sound, covering the space in front of him with a barrage of bullets.

"Raven, please make sure to clean the second floor promptly."

Lucy's prompt came from the team voice.

Two gunshots responded to her warning. The dart-shaped bullets fired by the [Standard Shuttle] directly penetrated the metal corridor, cutting the two scavengers who wanted to occupy the commanding heights into two from bottom to top.

"Covering fire, press forward."

Chapter 223: A devastating sweep

Mann quickly poked his head out from the edge of the shield and quickly examined the current situation on the battlefield. Almost instantly, he used his rich combat experience to come up with the most appropriate attack plan at the moment.

Several fully armed soldiers were ready to sprint under the flying bullets.

However, because it was the first time that the entire team went out fully armed, the following scene was somewhat beyond Mann's expectations.

He had anticipated that the firepower intensity of the current team's equipment might be a bit excessive, but he didn't expect it to exceed the standard to this extent.

The explosive projectiles of the [Standard Oppressor] alone were enough to send the scavengers fleeing in panic. The dense explosions made it impossible for them to raise their heads, let alone organize any effective counterattack.

The two [Standard Annihilation] also began to spray out a torrent of metal, which directly resulted in the several assaulters being destroyed together with the enemy and their bunkers before they had time to engage in close combat.

The battle ended extremely quickly and with a whimper.
