Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 13 Securicine (end) (save Sasha)
Xita Castei still remembered the night when he fled to Night City.

Exhausted, she collapsed on the ground in the outskirts of the city, her limbs spread out, panting heavily.

Her eyes were bloodshot, but she stared intently at the brightly lit city, like a coquettish manjusawa blooming under the moon.

it's so beautiful...

She thought so, full of longing, hope, and dreams, and plunged into this dream-chasing city.

After several months of trying to survive in this dirty city, she became disgusted and disgusted with everything in this sinful city.

It is like a huge cobweb, luring the lost to the predetermined death step by step on the way of chasing dreams.

It's disgusting.

Xi Tan lay on the bed, thinking over and over again, and finally hid in the warm embrace of the quilt, curled up and did not move.

"Yahwei..."

"Ok?"

Xi Tan looked at the man beside the pillow, his profile was as illusory as a dream.

She couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but her fingertips only touched the soft pillow.

"I want to know..." She withdrew her hand and stroked her cool hair, "Know you better."

"Which aspect?" I don't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his voice.

"Whatever..." She pressed the switch at the head of the bed and slowly closed her eyes, "Until I fall asleep..."

"Xi Tan is such a child, he has to be coaxed to sleep." The smile became more obvious, and he did it on purpose.

"Hmph..." It was more like being coquettish than angry.

"...Laki Batemos woke me up from the deepest part of the primary net..." In a daze, I heard his statement in a flat tone intermittently.

"Larch Batemos?" Barely pulling himself together, Xita asked a question.

"Legendary hacker, according to your history, his death directly led to the 'big crash'..."

"What's his relationship with you...?" Xita asked in a daze.

"He woke me up and made a bet with me."

"Oh..." The men around me would always come up with legends, and Xi Tan was no stranger to them.

Sleepiness hit her, she turned sideways, and her legs clamped the quilt tightly.

Xita always fell asleep quickly when he was around at night.

Listening to the gradually calming breathing, Yawei also slowly closed his eyes.

Until the sun rose, until those beautiful violet eyes slowly opened, he stared at the ignorant mist in her eyes, and chuckled softly.

2074年1月11日，9：00
Xita has finished washing and is about to choose clothes.

Since I met Yawei, every time I wake up, it becomes a heart-beating sweet memory.

"I should be able to resolve this commission today..."

"Obviously it has been overfulfilled." Yawei helplessly responded to her nervous soliloquy.

"Have you calculated the success rate of the plan?"

"With me here, the success rate is 100%."

"Tch, the cricket is a little Yawei..." She made a face in the dressing mirror, but her mood relaxed.

There will be a grand celebration in Night City tonight, high-level executives of major companies, rich people, company employees, and ordinary people will all come to join in the fun.

It also means that the target -- the biotech company's defenses are showing signs of weakness.

"But are you really going to hijack a floating vehicle?" Regina Jones on the other end of the phone opened her mouth wide, her face full of shock.

"After investigation, this is a special enterprise sightseeing car under Biotechnology. The security is not strict. It is usually used for corporate publicity, and there is a fixed stop route every day." "Tonight is a great opportunity to use it to sneak into the biotech building."

"Isn't your partner a very powerful hacker? You can sneak in by temporarily hacking the security system." Regina Jones reminded, she was worried that Xi Tan would deliberately seek far away in order to show off.

"The data we're looking for is stored deep in the company's system, and any illegal access will trigger an alarm in the entire building," Xita paused, "If we sneak in from the front, we won't be able to leave."

"You've convinced me for the time being, Ms. Xita Castell." Regina Jones frowned tightly, and finally could only remind her helplessly, "Be careful, little girl..."

"Is everything ready?" Yawei watched Xita hang up the phone and asked softly.

"Hmm..." Xi Tan sat and put her face on him, "Without you, I would never dare to do this in my life."

"Heeta always underestimates herself."

"I never thought I was special...until I met you, Yahweh."

Yawei smiled silently.

"Let's go, we have to be in place early." Walking out of the house side by side, she recalled the scene when they returned home for the first time.

hope everything is fine.

She said it silently three times in her heart.

This small family can't bear life and death.

2074年1月11日，22：00
It's so lively, you can hear the hustle and bustle of the celebration a few streets away.

Xi Tan crouched down, took a few deep breaths, let his trembling body relax, and confirmed that the weapons and armor on his body were fully equipped.

Not far away is the stop of the floating car, only one stop away from the terminal biotechnology building.

The roar of the floating car came from far to near, piercing the night, and came slowly.

She put her fingertips on the ground and made a squatting start.

"Three, two,..." She took a final deep breath.

"One!" Following Yawei's instructions, she ran forward with all her strength.

As soon as the floating vehicle stopped, the security system was hacked by Yawei in an instant.

When Xita sprinted to the front of the floating car, the door just opened.

Xi Tan turned over and entered, raised his pistol, raised his hand and pulled the trigger to headshot the only junior security robot in the floating car.

"Successfully took over the floating vehicle system." Yawei's voice was clear and reliable.

She sat on the seat with a smile and fastened her seat belt.

The floating vehicle started, slowly rose into the air, and flew towards the established target under the control of Yawei.

2074年1月11日，22：11
The floating vehicle docked unimpeded on the tarmac of the biotechnology building.

It seemed that the company's security personnel had never imagined that someone would be so bold as to sneak into the company building by hijacking a floating vehicle.

"Successfully set all the cameras in the building to friendly mode." Hearing Yawei's response a few seconds later, Xita packed up his equipment, left the floating vehicle, and walked towards the company building.

Progressing well.

She exhaled a foul breath to calm her racing heart.

Come on, Xita, you are special, you can do it!

She encouraged herself one last time, kicked open the door and rushed into the building.

"Attention, Xita, there is someone coming from the front. It doesn't look like someone from the company. I'll send you the picture." Yawei operated all the cameras in the building and noticed a ghostly figure at the main entrance.

"It seems to be a mercenary too. I saw her in the afterlife nightclub." Xita frowned, checking the image from the prosthetic eye, and jumped down from the stairs on the 30th floor, and kicked her on the way to quickly fall The fence, with the help of reaction force, fell to the 20th floor of the destination.

"The unknown target is taking the elevator, and the destination is also on the 20th floor."

"Damn it, Yahweh, let's wait and see what happens for now." Xita hid behind the door at the stairway, clutching the kinetic energy gun tightly in her hand, and if necessary, she would clear the obstacles to the mission with her own hands.

"She has arrived at the destination, which is the same as ours..." Yawei pretended that the camera had been shut down, and quietly monitored the other party's every move, "But she is stealing the company's financial data."

"It seems that our mission goals are inconsistent, and we can cooperate." Xi Tan has already remembered who the other party is.

Sasha (Sasha), a well-known cyber hacker in the next life, is famous for her superb hacking skills and sweet cat-like appearance.

"Damn, she checked out Securicine secrets after stealing financial data! Stupid woman, she also wants to use News Channel 54 to expose biotechnology!"

In an instant, the alarm sounded, and the originally silent building woke up instantly.

"Driving the floating vehicle and parking it outside the window, and intercepting the data by the way! Yawei!" Xita looked at the picture in Yiyan's eyes, and instantly understood the purpose of Sasha's move to place the explosives.

It is a pity that the backing of Channel 54 News is closely related to military technology and biotechnology, and reporting to them is tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

In the picture, Sasha is moving around, dancing gorgeously in the hail of bullets from the machine security. She wants to delay the time and wait until the data transmission is completed before leaving.

Her purpose failed after all.

This world is so fucking!Big corporations secretly colluded with each other and worked together.

Rogge once said that she would not see good people die because of their stupidity.

Xita is actually the same kind of person as Rogge in essence. They are always strong, brave, gentle and kind.

So she chose to rescue without hesitation.

Sasha still wanted to continue to procrastinate, and she unexpectedly found that the progress bar of the transmission had stagnated for some time.

"Damn, damn, ****!" She jumped back angrily and unwillingly, and shot through the head of the security robot with the last bullet.

When the time came, the endless fire and light from the explosion rushed towards his face and blurred his vision with tears. Sasha simply closed his eyes, and the shock wave threw him farther away.

I'm sorry, Mann, I broke your trust and acted on my own.

I'm sorry, Mom, your useless daughter didn't know the culprit who killed you until the end, she burned her body and failed to get revenge...

sorry……

I'm really useless...

Her body leaped out of the window like weightlessness in the air, her internal organs were injured by the shock wave, and her skin was scratched by the broken glass. She couldn't barely stop until she hit the cockpit of the floating car.

survived?Why?
Blood flowed freely from the corner of his mouth, Sasha looked around blankly, letting the unmanned floating vehicle send him back to the ground.

Suddenly, she seemed to see the back of a familiar short-haired girl who turned and left.

"Is she saved? Yahweh?" Xita ran towards the bottom of the building with all his strength. The elevator had been damaged by the explosion and could not be used.

"En." Yawei was silent for a while before responding.

"I'm sorry, I let you down," Xita said as he shuttled through the stairwell, and the security robots along the way stopped operating one after another.

"It's okay..." He paused, "Such a kind person is Xita, and only Xita."

"Hmm..." She responded in a low voice. Now that the escape route has been cut off by her own hands, although the data is in hand, can she get out alive?
In the end, I am also a stupid and bad person, and I have dragged down Yawei...

"Don't cry, Xita..." He reached out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but it was in vain.

"Follow my instructions, there is a motorcycle at the back door." He came back to his senses, remotely controlled a motorcycle to park behind the door, and at the same time distractedly blocked all the security systems.

"Okay." She successfully got on the motorcycle and drove towards the place marked in the prosthetic eye.

The siren of the building resounded through the sky, and the security forces left behind by biotechnology and military technology came out in full force.

"As I said, Xita, you just run forward,... I'm here!" He left Xita's side, and the phantom figure floated in the air. With a light wave of his hand, the traffic system of Night City is now under his control. master.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" She had never heard him laugh so wildly, his words were irreversible, like the king of the world standing on a very high peak, giving orders to the whole world.

He waved lightly, and all the cars along the road got out of her way.

She just needs to keep accelerating.

The roar of the modified engine resounded in the ears.

The surrounding street scenes have been blurred, only the neon lights dragging their brilliance and passing by like raindrops.

Faster, faster!
The engine roared, and she roared!

Countless swarms of drones, armored vehicles, floating vehicles, etc. were all left behind by her.

Yawei turned his back to her, just raised his hand, and fixed all the bullets and artillery in the air.

Hurry up.

He was silent.

Through Santo Domingo, through the Badlands, to the suburbs...

until the end.

The chasing hyenas behind him are about to use their lives to offer the loudest salute for his coming.

God's punishment will fall from the sky.

　The big one is coming
