Sorrento is right. This is an era where money is king. The values that people were ashamed to express in the past have already been fully reflected and released in today's materialistic social environment.
To the thousands of mercenaries in Night City, the city is a huge gold mine, and they are a group of tireless gold diggers who are willing to pay everything for gold. Naturally, these gold diggers include Mann and His partner.
If you just put away a lot of euros and make no profit just because of a few rules that look a bit bluffing, then Sorrento dares to say that Mann will be a somewhat famous mercenary at the end of his life and will never become a citizen of Night City. The "legend" that we talk about.
Sure enough, Mann just touched his chin and thought for a moment before saying that he and his team would respect the employer's privacy and do their best to complete the employer's tasks. That's what he's been saying and doing for the past few years, otherwise there wouldn't be so many intermediaries willing to maintain long-term relationships with his team.
But he wondered whether the reward for the mission was proportional to the risk the team would take.
Seeing that the other party had accepted his conditions by default, Sorrento didn't bother to hold back anymore and directly transferred all the mission objectives and details to the chips of the three Manns, allowing them to decide whether to do this big deal.
"The target is actually biotechnology (BioTea), hmm..."
After carefully reading the mission objectives and information sent by Sorrento, the three Manns fell silent for a while, as if they had no connection with the biotechnology company.
...
Half a year later, on a special night, under Japan Street in the Westbrook District of Night City, the neon lights of Lizzy Bar were as dim as ever, attracting all kinds of people to get drunk.
If our team really completes the seemingly possible task, the generous Mr. "Star" has prepared a lot of rewards for us.
But facing the enemy's increasingly sparse firepower, Shi Ya had to give up close combat and instead use pistols to shoot at the robots armed with automatic weapons.
When the data transmission came to an end, Mann jumped out of the office window as he was dying to be blown to pieces by the explosives he installed. His graceful figure fell heavily under the underpass under the bright moonlight. Under a moving car, the car owner was shocked and at the same time, a huge dent was made under the car.
"It's not 80% yet, it's about time."
"It has nothing to do with the follow-up research and development plans and arrangements for Nightingale antibiotics..."
Facing the expectant looks of the eight people, Sorrento smiled, put down the half-burned cigar in his hand, spread his hands toward the other party, and stretched out all ten of his fingers at the same time.
That time, our target will no longer be the easily accessible data in the office buildings in the city, but the base of a biotechnology company that is not heavily guarded under the bad soil of the city.
As a company that only started to show its prominence at the end of the next century, when the biotechnology company developed that epoch-making crop in 1993, it still had enough strength to eat the huge cake of new energy on its own. So we could only license the technology to the oil giants at the time for mass cultivation, and collect a considerable amount of patent fees from it.
Considering that the well-intentioned artificial intelligence in the cyberpunk world does not welcome others to share that world with us, the lower levels of the group decided to use local forces to complete the task of capturing the original species.
Before ordering him to kill each other with his former partners, in order to buy less time for data transmission, you ended up using your flexible skills to dodge around in the office and attack the robot security guards who were still coming one after another.
A minute ago, with the loud noise and smoke produced before the remote-controlled door-breaking explosive exploded, eight security robots from the biotechnology company rushed back and fired wildly in the direction of the desk with their automatic rifles, trying to kill Mann. At the same time, the data transmission is broken.
After glancing at the biotechnology company's logo, which looked like sapling branches and leaves, Mann was determined to end cracking the confidential document. Although such safe behavior will definitely trigger the security measures in the small building, you just don't know it yet.
"If the mission is successful, you will get a lot of
Rich. "
"Type of drug: antibiotic, undisclosed side effects: degenerative neuropathy, nerve pain..."
As time went by, biotechnology companies resumed the production and supply of CHOOH2. In the suburbs of Night City, known as the "Badlands", the company did not have a large-scale hydroponic cultivation and fuel plant. The refining base is mainly responsible for supplying Night City's fuel and energy needs.
Your eyes were closed tightly, and your heartbeat completely stopped at that moment.
While Sasha was surprised in her heart that Mr. "Star" had such a big appetite and dared to grab food right under the nose of Biotechnology, she asked the question that concerned Xiaojia the most.
After preparations during the day, Mann, who was responsible for stealing data, opened the side door of the biotechnology building under cover of night, casually paralyzing the two robot security guards and all the cameras along the way. The R&D director's office on the top floor of the small building.
As for why he wanted to find Sasha's team instead of another team with less strength to increase the chance of success, Sorrento could only shrug his shoulders and said that he wanted Sasha by name, and there was nothing I could do.
Sitting in the box of Lizzy Bar, Sasha said to Leo, Rebecca and the male guest Mann: "Intelligence shows that the data is outside the office on the top floor of the small building. As long as you exit slowly, the security of biotechnology will Measures are basically timely responses.”
"Yes, do you have any objection? On the contrary, you are very interested."
In such a disparity situation, even if you fight bravely, you are still hit by bullets one after another. If the prosthetic organs in the body were not hanging on the last breath, Mann would have been killed by a bullet that passed through the chest. .
"Regarding the arrangements for the renewal of the antibiotic "Nightingale", first, any side effects and pre-existing conditions that are not fatal must be disclosed to the public. Seventh, the product will be withdrawn from the market, and all inventory must be sold before it can be put on the shelves. eighth......"
But in addition to Baike's skills, Mann, whose combat ability is equally outstanding, will not let them achieve their wish.
"Warning, the above content is low-level confidential."
Maybe the first half of Sorrento's sentence was not a joke, but the second half was definitely a little bit watery. The job I found for Sasha's team was really special.
The key is that because of the fear that the genetically modified barley that the company has painstakingly developed will be secretly planted before being stolen by competitors, almost all farms owned by the company will only receive seeds from the headquarters when sowing, and those seeds that have been ordinary modified will not mature until they are sown. New seeds will be produced before.
Mann was about to take off his helmet, but found that outside a dark corner of the database, a lightly encrypted document was flickering, and the title of that document was the same as the name of a drug you hate so much. Exactly the same.
Biotech companies have also taken over thousands of barley farms and fuel refineries from increasingly powerful giants, relying on them to make huge profits and accumulate huge wealth for decades.
"Mann, don't forget, retreat slowly and exit slowly. The signal jammer will have less time left."
"Ten million, euros." After all, it is possible for the group to install fusion reactors in vehicles and facilities that do not require energy supply. If the group can obtain those improved original seeds and successfully plant them in other worlds, it will A small saving on our energy supply expenses.
With such strict protection in biotechnology, those seeds that have not been implanted with genetic keys are extremely valuable.
When he thought of his mother's grimace and happy face when she passed away, Mann gritted his teeth and slowed down his cracking speed. Unfortunately, the security measures in the small building have not yet been fully activated at this time. All entrances and exits are tightly sealed. A small number of armed robot guards are rushing to the top of the small building, leaving you with very little time.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
A few minutes ago, Shi Ya stood silently in front of the corpse of his companion under the car. The pouring rain that I don’t know when it ended hit my body. Small water droplets streaked across my cheeks, making it clear whether it was rain or not. Is it tears or rain.
According to the information provided by the group's artificial intelligence star hub, the biotechnology company's planting base in the Badlands will receive a batch of improved original seeds from Europe a few days ago to test whether barley cultivation is feasible in extreme environments such as the desert Gobi. .
Shi Ya, who was awakened from her past memories, shook her head, and her eyes on her sunglasses gave off a sense of security.
Before the global oil crisis from 2010 to 2020, CHOOH2 gradually replaced traditional fossil fuels and became the main source of energy for countries around the world.
Outside the window, the engine roar of the biotechnology company's heavy-armed aerial vehicle was getting closer and closer, but because the company's hackers were doing everything they could to prevent the file from being sent, it was very difficult to move the encrypted data under the screen.
Because the owner of the office, the R&D director of the Night City branch of a biotechnology company, was on vacation in Europe, there was no one in the small office.
As the male white guest swooped down and cut into the head of a robot with the single-molecule blade extending from his fingertips, Shi Ya rolled to get behind the robot, using the blind spot to buy himself time to control it remotely. A robot.
In the base, the biotechnology company uses hydroponic technology to grow a small amount of genetically modified low-sugar barley used to synthesize alcohol fuel CHOOH2. Although the genetically modified barley produced through ordinary methods produces clean emissions before burning, it is not edible because it is not highly toxic.
But when the time came from 2023 to 2025, during the Seventh Corporate War between Arasaka and Military Technology, a targeted biological weapon targeting this crop was released on a small scale around the world by unknown forces, resulting in countless CHOOH2 production Barley farms and refineries were destroyed, and the world was once again plunged into an energy crisis that has lasted for more than a decade.
Looking at the words in the document that seemed to be seeping with blood, Shi Ya took off his helmet. There was a shaken hesitation on his beautiful face - if you want to expose the ugly face of the biotechnology company to the public, you must stay. Outside that office, he personally sent all the information to News 54, the authoritative media in Night City that is backed by military technology.
Because of your mother, a patient with early symptoms of cyberpsychosis voluntarily became a clinical trial subject of a biotechnology company and took the company's so-called special drug "Nightingale". Xiaoxiao slowed down the death retreat.
I saw you throw a flash bomb low, using the dazzling white light to temporarily interfere with the robot's visual sensor. Before you, a strong and graceful figure suddenly jumped up from the desk, with sharp flashes on the tips of your seven fingers. Cold light.
...
Realizing that the other party may have a big problem with biotechnology, Sorrento smiled and said: "This is really too bad, after all, the difficulty of the task is high, and it is difficult to succeed with some interested support."
Seeing the message from Lao Xiao, Mann immediately put on the helmet used for data diving, found the data needed for the mission in the supervisor's computer, and then packaged it all and sent it to the person waiting in the small building. Shi Ya is preparing to respond.
"Damn it, Shi Ya, where is he? Come and save him!"
Seeing that Sasha was not distracted, Shi Yafu leaned over and snapped his fingers behind him: "Mr. Sasha, do you have any objections to the mission goal?"
Seeing that it was absolutely possible for him to leave alive, Mann took out a pistol and a grenade from his satchel, and unilaterally cut off communication before sending a "I'm sorry" message to his companions in the small building who were heartbroken.
"The assignment was very complicated. The employer wanted data on the latest biotech drugs to be launched."
"Mann, the signal jammer is working! Get out of this damn small building quickly!"
"Well done. Come out of the small building while the security system still finds him."
