From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

"Pure White: After so many years of research, internet regulators and large companies should have solutions to deal with the original version of the RABIDS virus. It will certainly cause huge losses, but it shouldn't be able to destroy a local area network. [Unintelligible characters]"

Sasha: That's scary enough...

After the discussion ended, Sasha handed the cat she was holding to Leo and jumped up.

"I need to go home and look at some documents. Goodnight everyone!"

Da da da da——

She sprinted towards the elevator at top speed, her fingers blurring as she frantically pressed the call button.

Everyone waved goodbye to her helplessly.

Afterwards, everyone agreed on a meeting time for the next day and then dispersed.

In the apartment, Leo and V each held a cat and leaned lazily against each other.

"I'm so tired, I've been standing almost all day..."

Leo rested his head on V-shaped thighs and stretched vigorously.

V teased the cat with one hand and ruffled its hair a couple of times with the other, saying, "Who told you to always be in such a rush, trying to finish a week's worth of work in one day?"

“Let’s call it high efficiency!” Leo retorted.

Seeing that he wouldn't listen to reason, V poked him with Death Wish's titanium alloy tail: "Be careful not to make a mistake in your haste."

Leo is a man with Type 5 subcutaneous armor, so he doesn't take a mere titanium alloy cat tail seriously at all.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensed his physical condition, and suddenly realized that he had been out of control for too long.

The "hot-plug" prosthetic implant technology in 2077 is quite advanced, and with the help of stimulants and painkillers, a little exercise should be no problem.

"Elbow, come with me to the bathroom! Tonight I'll make you cry and beg for mercy!"

""

V didn't understand why he dared to make such outrageous remarks, but she was fearless in the face of any challenge!

The cat was tossed aside, and the two men stormed into the bathroom.

That night, the battle lasted for two and a half hours.

The prosthetic body had only been installed recently, and after overexerting himself, his body was slightly sore, which weakened Leo's fighting ability. Otherwise, he felt he could have easily lasted all night!

early morning.

After waking up, Leo quickly rolled over, yanked open V's eyelids, and provocatively said, "6-4, how about that!"

V, having failed to feign sleep, rolled his eyes dramatically, his face full of indignation: "You got a prosthetic body just for this? That's cheating!"

"Why didn't you admit you were cheating when you used S.A.R.S.!"

Leo pinched her weak spot twice, watching her whimper and struggle, feeling quite pleased with himself.

The synthetic lungs enhanced his oxygen uptake capacity, fundamentally improving his physical endurance.

His specialized lumbar muscles allow him to unleash powerful machine gun thrusts, which are highly effective when launching a fierce attack.

The effects of the synthetic kidney were not very noticeable, but his recovery ability was indeed improved, and he was able to get back to work after a short rest.

With the support of these cybernetic bodies, even a powerful being like V-Giant could only suffer a regrettable defeat.

"If you're so capable, try doing this every day and see who can't take it anymore!"

V shouted a provocation at him and quickly ran into the bathroom.

Later, after finishing breakfast, the two began checking their equipment.

This afternoon, a fierce battle will rage in the eastern suburbs. Even though their role is that of a supervisory team, they must be prepared to fight at any time.

At 9:00 AM, the entire Immortal Squad assembled.

Sasha will also be participating in this competition, responsible for maintaining network communications at close range.

V gave her the Death Wish, letting this cybernetically modified cat go back to her old ways.

Sasha wholeheartedly agrees!

The group drove two cars back to the Badlands in the eastern suburbs.

After getting off the vehicle, the first thing they did was to visit Old Wei—this conscientious and responsible prosthetic doctor had almost collapsed from exhaustion the day before, and, worried about the patients' health, he simply stayed at the camp.

"Old Vivi, how's it feeling living in the nomad camp?"

Li Aoli shouted a greeting to him.

Old Wei, who was washing his face, glanced at them, smiled and shook his head: "It's alright. It's quite interesting to live in a motorhome occasionally. It's just that these young people are too energetic. They sing and dance, keeping us up until midnight."

"Hey, it's perfectly normal for young people to be excited about making their mark on the world. Everyone goes through that phase, right?"

Jack thought of his lost youth—when he was a teenager, just after joining the gang, he had a very exciting and exhilarating period that he really missed.

However, he now has a premonition that his past regrets will soon be made up for, and he will do so by becoming famous!

Killing Kinetic Energy Shotgun Loaded.

Although they are not as high-tech as smart weapons, kinetic weapons have their own unique charm, such as this gun muzzle that is so thick that two fingers can be inserted into it!

When it fires over the enemy's head, the immense recoil is something he'll experience countless times, and it will always excite him!

Chapter 284 Pre-war Speech: A Great Era Has Arrived!

With the arrival of the Immortal Squad, the camp, which had just quieted down, became lively again.

New recruits who have already joined the Wings of Freedom, newcomers eager to join, and mercenaries who have traveled from the eastern suburbs and even the city center specifically to make a quick buck. (Part 5)

The number of people gathered in the camp far exceeded that of yesterday, roughly three hundred people.

"Wow, this is quite a scene! Back in Night City, you've managed to create such a commotion without making a sound. Typical L!"

The one speaking in a languid yet coquettish tone was none other than Rebecca, whom we hadn't seen in a long time.

She was wearing a very large Kevlar bulletproof vest today, with only her head and calves exposed.

Leo noticed that her hands were wearing exoskeleton mechanical gloves of different colors, one red and one blue, which made her fists appear very large, creating a subtle and endearing contrast with her slender wrists.

"How about that? Pretty cool, right?"

Rebecca, under V's scrutinizing gaze, walked confidently to Leo, put one hand on her hip, raised her right hand high, and wore a proud expression.

"Thanks to you, I've saved up a lot of money recently, so I bought these combat shock-absorbing exoskeleton gloves. These things are amazing! Not only are they bulletproof and reduce gun recoil, but they also increase arm strength. I arm-wrestled with a big, silly girl from the animal gang and dislocated her arm!"

"You're going to arm wrestle with someone while wearing exoskeleton gloves? What idiot would want to arm wrestle with you bare-handed?" Leo was speechless.

"Those idiots from the Animal Gang, saying that only naturally built muscles are real muscles, and that even with an exoskeleton, my skinny arms and legs are useless... Then I flipped them to the ground, and they were crying and clutching their arms, haha!"

As she loudly mocked the animal gang, Leo noticed Dorio, who was following behind, looking helpless.

As a girl from an athletic family, she spent almost her entire childhood in the gym, and naturally became a professional athlete when she grew up.

You could say she's a member of the animal gang who isn't actually part of it.

At least in the eyes of outsiders, her exaggeratedly large size is the standard feature of the animal gang.

"Rebecca, we're here to talk business."

A giant hand rested on Rebecca's head, much larger than the exoskeleton glove in her hand.

Leo genuinely felt that this kind of hand was more suitable for playing basketball—with just a gentle squeeze, he could "squeeze" the basketball into his palm.

The man with such enormous hands must be Mann.

He grabbed Rebecca's little head, easily lifted her up, and placed her behind him.

Ignoring her grumbling, Mann raised his hand to greet Leo:

"Hey, L, it's been a while. When I first heard about the purge order, I thought someone was joking, but when I saw that you were the one who issued it, I knew it was probably true."

"It's just a minor squabble, nothing serious."

As he spoke, Leo's gaze swept over the guests and he noticed that everyone in Mann's team had arrived.

Pila and Qiwei were standing at the back of the line. When they saw him, they both nodded and greeted him.

Lucy is still nowhere to be found; I wonder if she's still stealing chips in the subway...

Leo snapped out of his thoughts, chatted with Mann for a few moments, and learned that they were still working for Faraday. He then said meaningfully:

"Here's a piece of advice, Mann: be careful when taking jobs from him lately. If military technology is in chaos, the pressure will naturally build up, and Faraday might make a foolish move to put you directly in front of Arasaka."

These words came out of nowhere, causing Mann to frown deeply.

Judging from L's words, military technology will soon be in chaos, and they are targeting Arasaka Corporation. Could it be that there is some friction between the two large companies?

He couldn't understand it, but he dared not ignore L's warning and kept it in mind.

In the distance, Panan and several other leaders had also received the notification and were rushing over.

While there was still some time, Rebecca stepped forward again and asked in a low voice, "L, is there any progress on my request? You haven't forgotten our agreement, have you?"

Leo subtly turned his head slightly, showing V the back of his head: "The people who transferred the bank's assets are professional hackers, so finding information on the internet won't be easy. However, we're going to have a showdown with the Voodoo Gang soon, so we can just search their database and the truth will come out."

"Soon after?" Rebecca looked surprised. "After defeating the Chaotic Blades, you're going to fight the Voodoo Gang? Did those guys offend you?"

"Yes, they keep sending me spam emails, we have to teach them a lesson."

Leo couldn't reveal specific information, so he brushed it off with a casual remark.

Rebecca naturally didn't believe this, but she also knew that they were in a public place, and it was better to ask some questions in private.

As they spoke, several leaders approached.

In just one night, these people became radiant, full of fighting spirit and energy.

"L, our people have been divided into groups according to Lord Shinku's instructions and are ready to depart at any time!"

"Hmm, well done. Remember to install the NCPD file scanner on everyone. Don't kill the unlucky guys who were kidnapped by the Chaotic Blade Society along the way."

Having gone through the Cleaners incident, Leo has gained a deep understanding of these criminals.

They knew that their camps often contained kidnapped travelers and held hostages, which was an important source of their income.

Thor nodded firmly, his expression resolute: "Don't worry, we've scattered the people from each family and made them supervise each other to try to prevent this from happening."

Just as Leo was about to reply, he saw Cedric raise his hand awkwardly: "L, our tribe has sent seventy-five people, all strong and healthy young men. But they haven't completed their prosthetic modifications yet. Can they come along today?"

No wonder there were so many more people today; it turns out the people from Red Ochre have arrived.

Leo thought for a moment and shook his head in refusal: "I don't want young people without cybernetic bodies to die in vain. Let them undergo modification surgery in the camp, and they can join the battle tomorrow."

Cedric breathed a sigh of relief; he felt the same way.

The tribesmen without subcutaneous armor were too vulnerable; a single bullet could easily take their lives.

With L's words, he was able to quell the restless young people who were clamoring to go to the battlefield.

After confirming the strategic plan with several leaders, Leo walked aside alone and began to mentally prepare his pre-battle speech.

Time passed quietly, and the aroma of food wafted through the camp.

The Bright family's food truck was bustling with activity, but even so, it couldn't provide lunch for nearly four hundred people.

Left with no other choice, the young people lit a campfire, skewered the food with iron skewers, and started an open-air barbecue.

Laughter and clamor rolled like waves, and dense crowds were everywhere.

Under the leaders' instructions, the new recruits only ate until they were about 70% full before putting down their chopsticks and staring intently at the dining car.

There, the members of the Immortal Squad occupied the largest table and were eating slowly and deliberately.

In military terminology, there is a term called "five togethers," which means eating together, living together, working together, training together, and having fun together.

Leo couldn't do the last four, so he could only stick to eating together.

After barely filling his stomach with synthetic food, he stood on the platform once again.

The young people who were laughing and joking immediately shut their mouths when they saw him.

The new recruits who had officially joined the organization stood up straight.

A solemn atmosphere permeated the crowd.

Even the mercenaries who were just there to join in the fun instinctively stood up, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
