"He's coming down, kill him..."
"Pay attention to the formation and mobilize some high-power weapons..."
As Xiao Xiao jumped down from the high-rise building and rushed towards the city, the armed forces gathered next to the guard hall building suddenly dispersed in countless directions. Various orders and roars emerged one after another, and each one had different shapes. Different armed forces were approaching quickly with their most powerful weapons, just like the sharp teeth of the city itself, Xiao Xiao was in the middle.
But amidst this tense and ferocious offensive momentum, there is another emotion that cannot be erased.
fear!
For most of the armed forces who have been sent here, one emotion that emerges in their hearts now is fear. No matter whether they are police officers or security forces, no matter how well they are trained, in the end, they still exist as human units.
People are afraid of unknown things, and now they don't know what Xiao Xiao is.
What kind of monster is that?
He could easily occupy a huge security hall building, destroy a helicopter by himself, and remain unscathed in a hail of bullets. Even just now, everyone saw that he jumped directly from the roof of a thirteen-story building. He fell down, and under the terrifying gravity and acceleration, he landed steadily on the ground with only the strength of his body and a few wires.
This is not a human being...
Everything proves that this is a monster at all, a monster beyond imagination.
As a human being, when faced with such a monster, the first thing to do is to run away and retreat, but there are people around you urging you to move forward.
They forced themselves to rush forward and fight that monster-level guy desperately.
"Damn it, why should we face such a thing?"
"Come on me, or if you don't, I'll kill you first!"
"..."
In the chaos, it may be an emotional conflict that is less obvious to people.
But in the observer's perception, this emotional conflict is as obvious as lice on the programmer's head.
"I found you..."
Facing this chaotic crowd, Xiao Xiao stood up, with an excited expression on his pale face.
These guys who have been contaminated by the Strangers are mixed in the key positions of various armed forces and functional departments in Yedi City. They can't tell the difference between them and other people at ordinary times. They will only unconditionally obey the Strangers at the most critical moment. instructions.
But at this moment, in Xiao Xiao's eyes, they were extremely conspicuous.
At this time, they had been divided into two types. One was brave and brave, not afraid of Xiao Xiao at all, and led people to charge forward. Because as beings contaminated by foreigners, they did not have the fear of death in their eyes, they just wanted to Try to kill the target Xiao Xiao.
The other one is sparing no effort to command and mobilize the armed forces at hand.
After all, the contaminated people are not stupid, their talents, thoughts, and wisdom still exist, but an order that cannot be disobeyed is implanted in their minds, kill Xiao Xiao, so for those who have the power to command, They will also understand that it is more advantageous to rush forward on their own than to direct others to rush forward, so they still choose to hide behind everyone...
But no matter what kind, Xiao Xiao can find them.
Around his body, three huge clairvoyant eyes sometimes merged and sometimes separated, flying over the area.
The three thorn dogs barked and pounced, knocking each armed team down at their feet.
From the eyes of a foreigner, Xiao Xiao's surroundings were tense and chaotic at this time, with countless forces violently exerting force. However, from the perspective of aboriginals, Xiao Xiao's expression was calm, unhurried, and the mental power around his body was surging. His own quietness formed a strong contrast, and the huge contrast was reflected in the eyes of the people around him, and even produced a strong feeling of dizziness and nausea.
"found it……"
They could barely see Xiao Xiao's body clearly, but Xiao Xiao saw them very clearly.
"The one with the black hat on the left and holding a submachine gun in his arms..."
"The commander on the right wearing a suit and sunglasses..."
"At three o'clock, the one who is fighting the rocket launcher is aiming at me..."
"...Holy crap, bazooka?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao turned his body slightly to one side, and his movements were as graceful as a ballerina who forgot to wear a short skirt.
The flaming grenade flew past his body, causing the building behind him to burst into flames.
Xiao Xiao sighed deeply, glanced at the man carrying the rocket launcher, and whispered:
"Xiaosi, let's start!"
"Starting from the person who hit me with a rocket launcher..."
"..."
"Copy that, President!"
Before officially issuing the order, Xiao Xiao had no idea where Xiaosi was.
He was just sure that he would receive his order based on the contractual superior-subordinate relationship between him and Xiaosi, but he did not expect that the moment he gave the order, the man who was replacing another rocket launcher would appear. Behind him, in the shadow, a pale face suddenly appeared. Xiao Si "grew" out of the shadow, leaning slightly and embracing his arms forward.
In his hand, he held a sharp cold blade. If he looked carefully, he found that it was in the shape of a belt.
Then he quietly touched the man's neck, and immediately his body retreated into the darkness, as if he had never appeared before.
The next moment, more than ten meters away, a man who was giving loud instructions suddenly lost his voice.
His throat suddenly split with a terrifying bloodstain. He looked around, only to see a thin figure. Without looking back, he got into a pipe with a diameter of less than ten centimeters next to him and quickly ran towards it. Another goal.
One, two, three, four...
Even Xiao Xiao didn't expect that he would feel that his life was so fragile at this moment.
He sought out those who had been tainted by the Strangers, but did not take action himself.
Firstly, my goal is too big, and secondly, I don’t have much experience in killing people, so I am afraid that if I kill too many people, I will have psychological consequences.
After all, for a guild leader like me, it’s normal for his subordinates to kill people, right?
But he didn't expect that Xiao Si's execution ability was so strong. He picked out the contaminated guys from the crowd and marked them one by one, and then, they quietly assassinated Xiao Si. Then, one by one, they covered their necks and fell to the ground. Because the movements were so clean, under the auspices of everyone, some people actually died for dozens of seconds before they were discovered.
Accurate and efficient.
Amidst the chaos of the crowd, a silent assassination was achieved.
Killing the aborigines was originally a very easy thing, but now Xiao Xiao felt a different kind of ease.
He even only needs to take a look, and the other person will die.
One or two were fine, but the chaotic armed forces around them. As more and more people died in the hands of Xiaosi, another atmosphere gradually appeared. The initial fierce explosion and crazy surge were quickly dissipating. As time went on, the offensive forces were gradually suppressed.
And the strangers in Yedi City discovered this even belatedly.
"what happened?"
"Where is our commander?"
"Captain Sun, you can't kill that monster, do you still want to charge at me? Captain Sun..."
"Damn it, did the guy named Sun run away?"
"..."
A lot of armed forces arrived at the scene. Logically speaking, various weapons and offensive momentum would hardly stop before killing Xiao Xiao. However, as time went by, this offensive momentum stopped and many people started In order to surround Xiao Xiao without attacking, the fish-fishing mentality caused by fear took over at this time, and they retreated dozens of meters away one by one to wait and see what happened.
At the same time, dead bodies whose necks had been smeared at unknown times were discovered, causing endless panic.
It just so happened that those who had their necks wiped were the hard-line militants just now, which made the offensive momentum even more sluggish.
"Brother Xiao is so amazing..."
And in this panic, the one who was most frightened was Xiaosi.
He had no idea who those people marked by Xiao Xiao belonged to, but he didn't dare to disobey the order. He couldn't even tell what he was killing at this moment. He just saw a piece of squirming and twisted flesh in front of him, countless tentacles and peeled skin. The monsters combined into various terrifying phenomena and headed towards Xiao Xiao, but Xiao Xiao was commanding himself amidst the attack with a normal expression.
Sometimes it marks a skinned aborigine, sometimes it marks the base of a wriggling tentacle.
Sometimes pointed at a certain eye.
All you need to do is erase these marked monsters.
Normally, facing the whole city and such a huge body of flesh and blood, I just did this little thing, and it didn't help at all, just like no one would think that an elephant would collapse due to a mosquito bite. But unexpectedly, Xiao Si found that as he carried out Xiao Xiao's order, the flesh and blood of this giant creature actually began to shrink, getting further and further away from Xiao Xiao's position.
"This city is actually afraid of Brother Xiao?"
Xiaosi realized with horror what this phenomenon meant, and his hair started to tingle with shock.
…
…
"Is it almost done?"
Xiao Xiao silently calculated in his heart that in just this moment, at least twenty or thirty people had died at the hands of Xiaosi.
"How many people have been polluted by Yedi City in various important functional departments?"
"According to the data in Black Gate City, there are actually not many people contaminated by strangers. There are only a few dozen in total. They are just lurking deep and only affect certain functional departments at the most critical time. role, and Ye Di City obviously does a better job than us in the defense system, so the number of Di City functional personnel they pollute must be more than us..."
"But in these armed forces departments, there are probably only a few dozen?"
"From what I can tell, it's almost impossible to find contaminated people around. So, is the first step completed?"
"..."
Thinking about this, he raised his head and looked at the deep night city.
From the perspective of a foreigner, what he saw at this time should be a city with teeth and claws. The endless flesh and blood turned into tentacles and a huge mouth, fiercely demonstrating towards Xiao Xiao, but inexplicably, the surging flesh and blood around Xiao Xiao's body had already He retreated in a big circle.
It was as if the city was afraid. Although it was still issuing threats, it just didn't dare to approach Xiao Xiao.
From the Aboriginal perspective, what Xiao Xiao saw at this time was a city in the midst of chaos and riots.
The armed forces marched towards the Guard Hall building at the same time. The surrounding citizens did not know what was going on, closed their doors and windows, and trembled.
But at this moment, Xiao Xiao, who had completed the preliminary cleanup, constructed a third perspective in his imagination. He seemed to see a huge invisible tree towering over Yedi City. The roots of these huge trees penetrate deep into the soil of Yedi City's social functions, and then wrap around specific people. Therefore, they are deeply rooted and integrated with Yedi City.
But now, I have cut off the deepest layer of roots.
Its connection with the city was weakening, and Xiao Xiao even felt its fear and anger.
"Why haven't you killed him yet?"
"It's going to kill you. Are those guys just for a living?"
Elsewhere, the strangers in Yedi City almost went crazy. They thought at first that if the city showed its rejection of Xiao Xiao and others, they would take the initiative to escape. After all, no one dared to confront a city head-on. As a result, Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao and others did not, but took the initiative to go deep. They thought that the power of the city was mobilized, and Xiao Xiao and others would be swallowed up quickly. After all, their power was limited.
There are not many strangers who can confront a city head-on, but they are all legendary beings.
Although President Xiao has a terrifying reputation, he is far from this level.
However, the result is still not the same. After all this time, Xiao Xiao is still doing well and is still causing trouble in the city...
"I'm not for a living..."
And following the president's stern questioning, someone finally realized the problem and murmured: "But..."
"……already dead."
"..."
The president didn't even react for a moment: "What's dead?"
"That guy is still alive and well..."
"..."
"It's not about President Xiao, but the aboriginal people who were bought by us and helped us mobilize the power of the city..."
The man who discovered the problem murmured, "They're dead."
The president was horrified: "Which one? Which one is dead?"
"Every……"
The voice of the person who answered the question was a little difficult: "Everyone."
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
The president yelled in disbelief: "In order to control the armed forces in the city, we spent tens of thousands of points and bought countless aborigines in key positions. They can help us mobilize the city at critical times. They can mobilize almost every armed force in this city to fight against invasion. They are the foundation of our perfect defense system..."
"Which stranger can destroy all these armed forces?"
"..."
"No, that's not the case..."
Listening to the president's roar, the speaker also stuttered and sat down almost in despair: "It's not that those armed forces were eliminated. In fact, those armed forces were not even seriously damaged. They... they just arranged us accurately. The people inside have been removed, just like cutting off the threads on a puppet, we...we have lost control of those powers..."
"how so?"
Listening to his explanation, all the strangers in Yedi City were stunned.
They had never heard of such a thing before, so it was difficult for them to understand it.
In the logic of foreigners, there is no reason for this kind of thing to exist.
"No, they only cleared out some of the people at the bottom. At the higher levels, we still have..."
Someone realized something else, it was Bai Cheng who had newly downloaded his consciousness: "As long as we pass the order from above, we can continue to mobilize the armed forces of Yedi City to attack them. President, those people above were purchased by you personally. It's up to you to come Order..."
"No, that's not quite right. Let me think about it. It's not quite right..."
The president rebuked loudly at first, but now his face suddenly turned pale, and he gradually thought of some questions:
"Our perfect defense system means that we can perfectly mobilize the power of Night City..."
"But, but those guys..."
"I don't know how they did it, but they have cleared out the people we installed in the armed forces, causing us to lose direct command of the city's armed forces. Although the people we left in the city hall are still there, if , if these people above are also eliminated by them, won't our... the defense system we spent so many points building, completely collapse?"
"..."
"..."
As he thought about this, a feeling of panic finally began to flow into his heart.
"not only that!"
At the same time, Xiao Xiao was also silently calculating in his heart: "What has been cleared out now is only part of the control power of the mother body on the lowest level of Yedi City. It is conceivable that in the middle and even high-level people of Yedi City, there will be those who have been controlled by Foreign Land People who pollute people, the mother body of Night City, perfectly controls this city through these people, and now, if those roots are also cut off..."
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the city: "Will you completely lose control of this city?"
I vaguely feel that things may not be as simple as I thought.
But really, it’s worth trying...
"The special investigator sent by the Black Forest is not dead yet..."
At this time, the high-level meeting of Yedi City was also full of panic. The high-level people of Yedi City who first realized what this meant did not dare to express their opinions directly. They knew the existence of the mother body and were afraid of being contaminated, but they did not He dared to directly stand up and confront the mother body, so things developed and there was a period of out-of-control behavior, and the armed forces took the initiative to hunt Xiao Xiao.
But in this hunt, Xiao Xiao did not die.
Gradually, the higher-ups in Yedi City were also considering whether they should order someone to invite Xiao Xiao over, or to control him, or to send a counter to negotiate with the other party, instead of indiscriminately doing so like now. , just a casual killing?
Even some people hiding in the middle and higher-ups of Yedi City began to hesitate.
Deep down in their hearts, they have not received any new orders yet, and their first goal is to kill Xiao Xiao.
But now, after all, I have realized that something is wrong, and I have made plans in my mind to give feedback to the owner.
The strangers in Yedi City were indeed aware of the problem at this time and were hesitating in their hearts.
However, Xiao Xiao anticipated these problems in advance.
"The second step to killing the city, let's begin!"
He looked in one direction, feeling unprecedented excitement and anticipation in his heart, which made his eyes brighter.
…
…
"What on earth does that big pervert want to do?"
Lin Bo and several of his subordinates in Dante's organization still don't understand Xiao Xiao's purpose.
They just experienced a series of shocks. From the beginning, Xiao Xiao decided to stay and fight against Ye Di City, and now, a long time has passed, and he still hasn't been killed by Ye Di City. Every step was beyond them. Therefore, when they calculated that the time was almost up and it was time for them to carry out Xiao Xiao's arrangements in advance, they felt extremely nervous in their hearts.
In front of them, a building had been infested with flesh and blood.
The huge cannon barrel has been pointed at the night sky of Yedi City, ready to be released at any time.
But Lin Bo didn't know what consequences it would have on Ye Di City if released.
"Whatever he wants to do, we have to work with him."
Instead, at this moment, the woman with messy hair suddenly put down the electronic instrument in her hand and said to Lin Bo solemnly: "I recorded all the data from the time he took the initiative to go downstairs to now, and I also realized that A question I’ve never thought of before!”
Lin Bo was slightly shocked: "What?"
The female researcher said: "Have you ever seen a stranger who can fight against a city?"
"I've seen it before..."
Lin Bo said: "Can't our mentor do it?"
The female researcher said: "Then have you ever seen a three-stage enhanced stranger that can fight against a city?"
Lin Bo was suddenly startled: "This is unreasonable."
"It's really unreasonable, but he is turning this into reality step by step."
The female researcher shoved the data she had just captured in front of him and said excitedly: "Have you forgotten that he said he wanted to give us a gift before? I now know what this gift is. He did not use the power of a stranger. To fight against the city, we take advantage of the flaws in the city’s own internal logic and the operating rules of the city from the perspective of the indigenous people..."
"Do you know what this means?"
"..."
Lin Bo's professional level was already higher than those of his subordinates, but sometimes his mind got a little weird.
Now after listening to her words, he was agitated and reacted: "Is this a logical problem from the Aboriginal perspective that we have been studying? If he can really complete it, then the topic we studied before will be a big step forward. Pushed a step further?”
"Damn it, he's not even a member of Dante's organization. How can he know more about this than us?"
"..."
Frightened and delighted, he almost panicked and immediately urged the light of Xu Qian to appear.
Regardless of whether this guess is correct or not, even if there is only one percent hope, we must cooperate with him at all costs.
…
…
"Boom!"
Just when the light of Xu Qian appeared, or in other words, a moment before the light that determined the key direction appeared, at the gathering place for strangers in Night City, the belated president finally guessed something. Horrible things. When he thought of the possible horrific consequences, he felt that his throat was blocked, and his body felt like an electric shock. He jumped up from the sofa:
"quick……"
His voice was trembling: "Everyone, let's go find President Xiao..."
"Kill him personally?"
Bai Cheng and others were also surprised: "That guy can kill hundreds of people from the Hell Organization in one breath. His strength is terrifying..."
"No, it's not..."
President Yedicheng shook his head repeatedly, his face pale: "Let's go apologize and beg him..."
"...please ask him to spare us!"
