Moore Technology mid-rise floating car garage.
Luo Yin stayed in the elevator with a cold expression and deep eyes. Even the closed elevator space did not give him much sense of security. The bad news that continued to come from his ears made his mood gradually change from peaceful to heavy.
Even though he was calm and strategizing before, when faced with pieces of bad news, he still felt anxious like an ordinary person.
I haven't felt this kind of mood for a long time.
Looking at the past, for a person like him who stands at the top of the world, there are very few things in the world that can make his mood fluctuate violently.
But it happened that in this city, which was known as the freest and most chaotic city in the world, a mercenary whom he had never heard of before actually let himself suffer!
No, you have to calm down. You must not lose your mind because of this matter.
Luo Yin's slightly distorted expression suddenly calmed down. The biological monitoring system implanted in his body adjusted his hormone levels and endocrine system in time, allowing him to regain his composure in the blink of an eye.
The elevator door opened.
As soon as he walked out of the elevator door, Luo Yin saw the huge garage floor with bright lights and countless float vehicle managers running on the floor, as if they had encountered some kind of emergency.
Seeing his arrival, a manager who was always waiting in front of the elevator door came up to him and said in a somewhat anxious tone:
"Mr. Luo Yin, your private aerial vehicle is ready and ready to go at any time. However, the situation is a bit urgent now and we have to ask you to wait for a few minutes."
Luo Yin frowned, glanced at the messy garage, and asked sharply: "What happened?"
"Because the company building was suddenly attacked, several senior executives who stayed in the company to work overtime wanted to leave in a floating vehicle. It was okay at first, but now the situation downstairs is not good, and the outside world came to support our floating vehicle. The combat team has been wiped out! The gangsters outside have anti-aircraft weapons. If you go out rashly, your float vehicle will probably be hit."
"Now there are two floating vehicles that were hit by the gangsters with missiles after they went out. Fortunately, they turned back in time, otherwise they would most likely crash in the middle."
Luo Yin raised his eyebrows, his expression became gloomy, and he said sternly:
"What's the solution? Don't tell me that you are running around here like ants, just to show off to me!"
After all, it is his own personal aerial vehicle, and Luo Yin naturally knows that this extremely expensive custom-made aerial vehicle is not as good as a military aerial vehicle in terms of protection.
He is not an army soldier, let alone a military enthusiast. For him, an aeroplane is a means of transportation. Who the hell would install explosion-proof steel plates and armed systems for his means of transportation?
Although Night City is chaotic, it is not a war zone. Even Luo Yin never thought that he would encounter such an incident tonight, let alone these floating vehicle managers.
The manager broke into a cold sweat and said with a trembling voice:
"After learning about the situation outside, we immediately loaded your private aerial vehicle with external armed systems and anti-attack devices, which can effectively avoid surface-to-air strikes. According to our calculations, the anti-aircraft weapons used by the gangsters The weapons are very good. For your safety, we..."
The more Luo Yin listened, the more impatient he became. Halfway through, he waved his hand and interrupted the manager's explanation. He stared straight into the other person's eyes and asked seriously:
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense, just tell me the result."
He didn't have time to waste here listening to the explanations of these small staff, which made his identity very cheap. If he didn't need help from the other party for this evacuation, he wouldn't even have a word with the management staff in front of him.
"Give me another 5 minutes! It only takes 5 minutes. We will definitely upgrade your floating car and ensure that there will be no mistakes when you go out!" the manager begged humbly.
Luo Yin squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the time column on the data panel, and said in an indifferent tone:
"The clock starts from now. If you haven't solved the problem after 5 minutes, all of you will be fired on the spot within one second!"
The manager's face turned pale, but he still managed a smile: "Thank you for giving us this opportunity."
Luo Yin was too lazy to waste time with him and waved his hand to tell him to get out of here.
The management staff rushed to Luo Yin's floating car in a hurry.
Five minutes is neither long nor short, but for Luo Yin, a person like him who earns millions every minute, it is impossible to waste just a few minutes for no reason.
His eyes brightened, and he dialed the phone number in the command room.
[Mr. Luo Yin, hello, do you have any instructions? 】
On the other end of the phone, the security commander's tone was a little urgent, as if he had just escaped from a tense and anxious war, and the next second he was arranged to call his superiors to report the situation. He had obviously entered a battle state, but he still had to try his best. Slow down your tone and argue with your superiors.
[How is the situation now? 】Luo Yin asked.
[The target has reached the 100th floor. The security force, bounty hunter team and Mr. Lancelot you assigned have all been ambushed there, but Mr. Lancelot wants to make direct contact with the target so that he can help you. After delaying enough time, the plan of ambush and sneak attack was abandoned. 】
[Yes, I understand. He will do as he asks. ] Luo Yin nodded.
After all, he is not a professional combat commander. It is better to leave this kind of work of fighting the enemy and delaying time to professionals.
Luo Yin is very clear about his own strengths and weaknesses, and he also knows that his primary purpose now is to escape, not to dictate to others in their professional field.
[I understand that now Lancelot has made contact with the target, it is expected to be delayed for five to ten minutes...]
In the surveillance command room, the security commander made a few gestures, asking his subordinates to keep an eye on the surveillance screen to prevent unexpected situations from happening, and also asked them to report the situation at any time. Then he walked to the corner and talked patiently and attentively with Luo Luo. Yin communicated without looking at the surveillance screen.
Luo Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
Five to ten minutes, such ample time, was enough for him to escape from the company building in time.
Even if that Mo Ying wanted to catch up with him later, it would not be an easy task.
[Where are the support troops on the ground? Why haven't they arrived yet? Doesn't this city's police department care about this? ] Luo Yin continued to ask.
On the other end of the phone, the commander's face was obviously stiff, but he still managed to report:
[We have reported the situation here to the NCPD of the city's police department as soon as possible, and they have dispatched the police team in time, but the result is not very good? 】
Luo Yin frowned, but was not surprised and asked: "What happened?" 】
[The traffic arteries near the company are blocked by some gang members. There are a lot of dangerous goods on the road. It will be difficult for them to get here for a while...] The commander explained.
[Why not use robots to open roads? 】 Luo Yin was puzzled.
[People from the ncpd said that they also thought about using robots to clear the road, but those people were quite shameless. Everyone had a trauma team membership chip, and they took turns to shoot themselves in the thigh so that the trauma team could be summoned. Round after round, there was no time to rest. The ncpd did not want to confront the trauma team head-on, so it was kept being held back. 】The commander said with a dry throat.
Luo Yin fell silent and fell into brief contemplation.
After a while, he sighed, found a Chinese word in the database loaded by the processor in his brain, and said with half emotion and half admiration:
[A very good method. I have always suspected that Mr. Mo Ying is from East Asia, but now it seems that he is most likely. In Chinese terms, this is to drive away wolves and swallow tigers. 】
Just when Luo Yin wanted to continue questioning, he suddenly heard a busy tone from the other end of the phone. It seemed that something unexpected had happened in the command room.
【What happened? ] Luo Yin asked in a cold tone.
There was silence for a long time on the other end of the phone, and finally the commander's shocked and desperate voice came:
[Sir...the team sent to stop the target...were all destroyed, and we lost the network permissions on the 100th floor]
In an instant, Luo Yin felt that his heart almost stopped.
His hands and feet began to feel a little cold, so he took a few deep breaths to calm down, and the biological prosthesis in his body also adjusted his condition in time.
[Can’t Lancelot hold on for even a minute? ] Luo Yin asked after calming down.
【Yes, sir. 】
[Where is Mo Ying’s current location? 】
[We lost network access to floors 88-112...but he was not found on the floors below, and he did not continue running down. 】The commander said.
Not down? Luo Yin couldn't help but fall into thinking.
Obviously, after taking over the network authority, their side undoubtedly lost control of layers 88-112.
And considering that Mo Ying owns an aerial vehicle, although the model of the aerial vehicle is not known yet, since it can approach the building quietly without being detected by the detection device, let's consider the aerial vehicle as the top model.
Since they have obtained network permissions, it means that all the air defense facilities on the rooftop have been destroyed, and the opponent's aerial vehicle will definitely take the opportunity to land on the rooftop. Only in this way can they have a chance to intercept their own aerial vehicle.
The stairs leading to the rooftop have collapsed. If Mo Ying wants to go to the rooftop, he must take the elevator instead of relying on his own impressive speed.
At the speed of the elevator, it would take him at least a minute or two to get there.
As a result, Mo Ying only has two options:
Either rush to the rooftop in person and chase him in a floating car;
Either trust your teammates and let them chase him in a floating car while you fight all the way over.
Based on Luo Yin's analysis of Mo Ying's character, he believed that the other party would definitely choose the former method.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it at present is to wait and see.
If Mo Ying was already on the rooftop and got on the floating car, if he took the floating car out now, he would undoubtedly be playing into the opponent's trap.
After all, Laura's accident is still vivid in her mind. That monster-like guy has the ability to hijack planes in the air!
As long as the other party's figure has not appeared on the surveillance screen, they will stand still.
In terms of time consumption, Mo Ying's side would definitely not be able to waste them.
Just when Luo Yin was deciding on his strategy, another voice came from the other end of the phone:
【gentlemen! Please also pay attention! The target appeared on the 88th floor and was rushing towards the floating car garage floor through the stairs! Extremely fast! Please evacuate immediately, we will send the remaining security personnel to carry out suicide attacks to buy you time! 】
Luo Yin was stunned again.
Mo Ying didn't choose to take the floating car, but instead rushed towards his position?
The opponent actually chose to trust his teammates and gave them the task of killing him?
Or is there something special about that floating car that can destroy his own floating car in the air?
Just when Luo Yin was lost in thought, the manager finally came over, sweating profusely and obviously exhausted.
"Mr. Luo Yin, your aerial vehicle has been modified. Please hurry over. We have cleared the take-off channel for you."
His voice interrupted Luo Yin's thinking.
Luo Yin hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards his floating car.
However, when he saw the appearance of his private floating car, he couldn't help but be stunned.
How should I describe these upgrades...
It's like a tank equipped with barbed wire mesh, and then it is said that these barbed wire mesh can effectively block RPG attacks.
It is also like a sniper covering the turf. It is said to be an excellent camouflage, making it difficult for the enemy to detect the sniper's traces with the naked eye.
】
Although these "upgrades" may seem unreliable, they are actually very effective.
Nowadays, Luo Yin's private float car is roughly the same. The float car that used to be as smooth as a mirror and resembled an elegant swan has now been transformed into a "silly duck".
The anti-tracking metal armor was temporarily installed using rough welding technology, the thermal decoy honeycomb launcher externally placed at the bottom of the aerial vehicle, and the thickened and enlarged exhaust hole at the tail... Every modification is full of practicality style
Seeing Luo Yin who was a little stunned, the manager on the side couldn't help but start to explain:
"Mr. Luo Yin, although your floating vehicle does not look very beautiful now, I dare to use my life as a guarantee. These upgrades and modifications can definitely ensure your personal safety."
"Your float car is the best private float car model in the world. It is like an excellent sword embryo. It only needs a few modifications to forge a sharp sword. Time is tight. We didn’t have time to give the float car some cosmetic touches, but it’s absolutely reliable.”
Luo Yin was silent for a while and suddenly asked:
"If a military aerial vehicle is chasing me, can this aerial vehicle guarantee my safety?"
The manager was stunned and quickly answered with a smile:
"Absolutely 100% reliable. If you want to destroy an aerial vehicle, you must have a powerful enough attack, and our modification can just allow your aerial vehicle to avoid these attacks."
"Then what if someone jumps out of the cabin, uses a thermal cutting device to open the gap, and jumps into the car?" Luo Yin asked.
manager:"......"
What the hell is this?
Is there such a kind of Sabi in the world who can do such risky things?
"About this issue... Please forgive my ignorance, sir, I have not considered this issue, but if you are really worried, we may be able to install an induction grid on the armored part of the shell, but this is a big project, if you Can you give us enough time..." The management staff hesitated.
Luo Yin sighed and waved his hand:
"Forget it, let's use it first, there's no time."
He had been on the phone with the commander. On the other end of the phone, the middle-aged man was desperately urging him to leave quickly, saying that the target had broken through all layers of defense and was rushing towards his position.
That guy doesn't have all the surveillance rights in the company building. If he wants to accurately find out his location, he must kill them layer by layer.
Luo Yin understood that Mo Ying was forcing him to make a choice.
Or wait for him to kill him.
Either take advantage of the opportunity to escape now, the other party must have arranged other means to destroy his aerial vehicle in the air.
This is a conspiracy, but Luo Yin must make a choice.
"How many float vehicles are still in the garage that have not yet taken off?" Luo Yin suddenly asked the manager.
The manager was stunned and said nonchalantly: "There are five cars in total."
"Arrange all the floating vehicles to take off with me and evacuate to various locations. I need them to help confuse the enemy!" Luo Yin ordered.
It's night time now.
All the aerial vehicles took off, and even if the gangsters on the ground had ground-to-air means, it was impossible to accurately find out which aerial vehicle they were on.
But if the other party also arranged for a floating vehicle to chase after him, then he could only hope that these modifications were reliable enough to ensure his safe evacuation.
The manager's face was a little ugly. After all, the five floating vehicles were a large amount of property, and his job was to maintain these properties. But now Luo Yin's order was like throwing out a few pieces of garbage at will.
However, he finally had to obey Luo Yin's order and arrange for his subordinates to activate the remaining five floating vehicles.
...
Soon, a total of six float vehicles began to fly out of the garage one after another, like geese flying south in a formation.
Several anti-air missiles were quickly fired from the rooftop of another building, accurately hitting two aerial vehicles.
Inside his floating car, Luo Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
The modifications made by the maintenance staff were reliable enough. At least his float vehicle was not hit by the lock.
Since it can block the anti-air lock of the gangsters on the ground, it means that Mo Ying's anti-aircraft methods are just like that. Perhaps it is just like what the managers said. No matter how advanced their aerial vehicles are, it will be difficult to target them in the air. His personal float vehicle was destroyed.
It seems that this time, it should be safe.
Luo Yin sighed deeply, opened the wine cabinet in the car, took out a few bottles of wine from the freezer, and enjoyed it alone.
However, before he could be happy for long, the commander's anxious voice sounded again in the communication channel:
[Mr. Luo Yin, we have lost the location of the target, he is missing now! 】
The unexpected fright made Luo Yin spit out the wine in his mouth, but he had no time to care about his gaffe.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Wasn't Mo Ying killing people on the floor? What else does he want to do?
Even if you want to go up to the rooftop and ride the float car, it will take a minute or two to take the elevator.
And a minute or two is enough for him to escape from Night City in a floating car!
The person on the other end of the phone quickly answered his questions.
[No, no, he didn’t disappear, but ran to the 89th floor. There is no surveillance there! 】
[He broke the glass, he jumped off the building!
】
Luo Yin was stunned and immediately ordered the in-vehicle intelligent AI:
"Turn on the external monitoring of the floating vehicle. What happened?"
Soon, accompanied by a gentle female voice, the display screen in the car showed a scene:
Under the moonlight, a man wearing a mask smashed the window of the building and jumped into the sky outside, like an owl spreading its wings.
However, in mid-air, a Manticore float car that had already been suspended here stopped smoothly close to the building.
The propellers on the man's feet spurted flames, and he jumped vigorously in mid-air. Finally, he reached out and grabbed the floor of the side door of the aerial vehicle, turned over and jumped into the aerial vehicle!
Now, Luo Yin finally understood.
He made a mistake.
A fatal mistake!
How could he try to figure out the behavior of such a monster with normal human thinking?
