Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 299 Modify data and dig holes for military technology
Progress after that was smooth sailing.

Mann and his team took Tanaka and Jimmy Kurosaki to Japan Street, an old apartment building that was deeply familiar to Li You. It used to be the stronghold of the scavengers.

The first mission after the prologue in the game, to rescue Sandra Dorsett, is carried out here.

Of course, there is also the follow-up "Spring Dream" subplot. Our V brother just bought a black Mewtwo from a vendor and watched it. As a result, he was so dizzy that he moved it here to prepare for his waist.

That is to say, V woke up early, otherwise it would really be all over the place.

In short, this place originally belonged to the scavengers. Mann and others had cleared them out in a previous commission, so they temporarily occupied this place.

After getting the data, he can throw Tanaka directly into the bathtub and pretend to be a scavenger.

Mann was already busy extracting the data from Tanaka's mind, while Li You was sitting on the sofa outside waiting with peace of mind.

He is not worried about any accidents. The current situation is already different from the original animation.

——In the past half month, David and Mann have been practicing their strength seriously.

With his intervention, many problems have disappeared into the backside of the world, becoming fragments in a timeline that no longer exists.

However, he was jealous. In order to avoid being arrested by the company for research, Li You also emphasized that he must not transform in the presence of outsiders. So that time just now was actually David's first actual combat. He had only tried it with Li You and Mann before.

And since everyone in Tanaka was captured, V unceremoniously included him in his plan.

As for the "transformation" password, it is obvious that it was set by Li You...

Although he only mentioned it to V now, which was a bit like cutting it off first and telling him later, fortunately, his favorability with V seemed to be up to par. V just complained and didn't argue with him.

In the cyberspace, Qi Wei complained while fighting against the ICE in Tanaka's mind.

Otherwise, he would not have taken on this mission with confidence.

"...This won't happen again." Li You was sitting in the living room outside, stroking the handgun X. The seat he was sitting on was the sofa where Mann recalled the killing.

Li Youyou was very sure. After all, in today's world line, there was really no possibility of overturning.

The only problem is that Li You will still be jealous when he sees him transform.

And Sasha was there. She is not as experienced as Qi Wei in deep diving, so she is responsible for maintaining the operation of the jammer. In this way, even if Tanaka's brain suddenly explodes, the jammer will be fine.

It would have been perfect if Tanaka hadn't accidentally let Tanaka run away in the end. In the end, it was David who caught him.

He picked up his phone and looked at the message history.

In the anime, Pyrrha herself was shot dead by a cyberpsycho on the roadside for insignificant reasons. It was also that time that David once again felt the Night City and the cruelty of cyberpunk life.

And it was also because of this that Mann called David and Lucy over to dig up data on Qiwei's behalf - which was also the beginning of a series of subsequent tragedies.

Now, Mann will not go crazy, and Qiwei will not go to the hospital. She has the ability to complete the task of cracking the protection and extracting data.

After catching Tanaka, Li You told V the content of this commission and added instructions.

Not to mention David, he has talent, interest, and perseverance, so he passed Aggie's first test two days ago, and Li You handed the belt to him.

"...In this way, I will send you a data form. After you obtain the data in Tanaka's mind, you have to get it, then compare it with the form, clear out all matching key items, and then give it to Faraday."

Oh, brother and sister Rebecca are still fine too. They are all fine. They just went back to their apartment.

At this time, David had been sent back to sleep by Li You. This kid has to go to class tomorrow, and it was Li You who personally called Gloria today before agreeing to let him come.

Not to mention this kind of weird setting that if it really appears, it can only be explained as the malice of the world. Even if it does happen, Li You has the last resort to find out.

In this world, Li You has blocked all possibilities of things going wrong in advance.

The tragedy of Mann's team in the animation was actually the result of multiple coincidences.

In the bathroom, Tianzhong was stripped into a fat white pig and tied to a chair, while Qiwei was connected to the deep dive interface and was searching for the required data in his brain.

Because there was enough manpower, Falco stayed in the underground garage on standby in case of any eventuality.

This is also for David's safety. Today's David does not have prosthetics such as subcutaneous armor to strengthen him, nor does he have a Siam Westan to allow him to travel freely, and the practice of Jinqi is still very young. So a set of armor that can be summoned at any time will be his talisman.

If there is still a problem, it can only be that Qiwei made a mistake when deciphering the data in Tanaka's mind, and then discovered that there was some special alarm device buried in Tanaka's mind, the kind that can send news of death back to Arasaka Company.

But this time, by coincidence, Mann and others were with Li You and the others, just after a certain commission was completed.

Should I say it or not, David is an adolescent boy after all. Even if there seems to be no special photography work in this world, he immediately understood the charm of the "transformation system".

The reason... originally, when Mann and the others encountered the cyberpsycho who defecated everywhere, they were with the rookie David.

She could also understand that this was how a mercenary's job was, dealing with the situation but not the person. At least Li You contacted her as promised.

In the end, it was proved that the hard training during this period of time had not failed him. The battle with Tanaka not long ago made Mann feel very happy. He had not fought so much in a long time.

"Hey, Arasaka's protection is really troublesome."

Lucy also withdrew. She was still hiding her deep dive interface, and there was no need for Mann and others to keep her.

So as soon as the cyberpsychosis appeared, Li You went up and suppressed it, and then packaged it and gave it to Regina. The Mann team's staffing was still intact.

But now, Pyrrha is still alive and well, and can still argue with Rebecca in high spirits after the mission is over.

Of course she didn't know that in the original world line, as soon as she finished saying these words, Mann, who was on the verge of a cyberpsychotic attack, pulled him out of the ice bath and beat him so violently that his alloy chin was hit. It fell off and ended up in the emergency room on the spot.

However, they can't help with cracking the data, so the only ones here at the moment are Li You, Sasha, Qi Wei, Mann and Dorio.

Finally, Tanaka doesn’t know David at all, and David and Lucy haven’t even exchanged horoscopes yet. Even if the world line is really closed and Lucy is called to crack it, it won’t be as complete as in the animation. The army was destroyed.

As for Mann, his prosthetic body has been degraded and his cyberpsychosis is gradually receding. During this time, he also led his team to accept several commissions to test his skills, and was satisfied with them.

"In this way, the data you submit will still be true and can be trusted as military technology, but the key points will be hidden, and they can only get some superficial things."

"In this way, military technology knows little about the prosthetic King Kong, and they should pay more attention to this project in the future. Once they are fooled, the final control will fall into my hands."

"By the time they realize something is wrong, they will have already fallen into a big pit and will never be able to climb out again."

Li You gave V a thumbs up.

"Awesome, V! As expected of the second-in-command of the Counter-Intelligence Department, he came up with such an efficient strategy with ease."

V replied with an expression:
"(character middle finger)"

"Stop being so weird about me! You should think about how to convince your mercenary friends!"

Li You smiled back at her and said that this was nothing to him and she just needed to lie in bed and wait for the news. As a result, V cannot be read back.

Li You didn't care. He put down his phone, thought for a moment, and called Mann and Sasha aside.

"...You said you want to modify the data obtained from Tanaka's mind?" Mann was also stunned. If he didn't trust Li You enough now, he might not have listened at all.

"why?"

Sasha also looked at him in surprise, while Li You explained: "You should have guessed that this series of commissions for Arasaka are all the work of military technology."

"Actually, after last time, I asked a friend to check. Military Technology's target is a confidential development project that Tanaka is responsible for. Military Technology believes that if the project succeeds, it will pose a threat to them."

Halfway through his words, Sasha pouted: "It's that company woman again..."

Mann's eyes widened after hearing this: "Confidential project? Doesn't that mean..."

"Yes, not only are we caught in the middle by two corporate giants, but we are also involved in their most confidential affairs." Li You said seriously, "In this case, it would be dangerous if Arasaka discovered it, but even if we complete it perfectly I completed the task and submitted the data, guess what will happen?”

Before Mann could speak, Sasha had already answered: "... Military technology will probably instruct Faraday to silence those of us who are insiders. Because we have seen top-secret company intelligence."

She lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking of.

Li You agreed with her guess: "In this research and development project that Tanaka is responsible for, whether it is Arasaka or military technology, there will not be a few mercenaries who know the secrets alive in the world, unless we have someone To have legendary level of strength and influence.”

When he said this, both Mann and Sasha fell silent.

legend? Although Mann and Li You claim to have this goal, for now, it is obvious that they are still far from that level.

"...So, it is necessary to process the obtained data a little. We delete part of it and let the military science and technology know what it is and why it is not known. This way, they can focus on Arasaka instead of immediately Thinking of trying to kill us."

After hearing what he said, Mann thought it was very reasonable, so he said: "In that case, after Qiwei extracts the data, let's leave it to Sasha for processing. But how do we know what to modify?"

Li You shook his phone: "I have sent you the data form, Sasha."

While Sasha was receiving the documents, he muttered: "Sure enough, it's that company woman..."

"Well, let me ask one more question, is your company friend reliable?" Mann already understood the cause and effect.

"As a partner, it's very reliable." Li You answered simply.

"Then I'll be fine."

They were chatting here, and from the bathroom, Dorio came out with a separation chip: "Qiwei has done it, the data is obtained!"

"Very good!" Mann took the chip and handed it to Sasha with only a brief glance, "I'll leave it to you."

"Li You, does Tanaka need special treatment?"

Li You knew that Mann asked this because he was concerned about his relationship with his "company friends". But Li You also knew very well that since the message sent by V did not mention Tanaka's whereabouts, her meaning was obvious.

——You figure it out yourself!
So Li You said directly: "Don't worry, just proceed as planned!"

"Okay. Dorio, go help Qiwei. We will leave immediately after cleaning up. Sasha, remember to clear all the surveillance cameras near this building before leaving!"

"Row."

"no problem!"

"I'm going to install time bombs for Tanaka, oh, and Jimmy Kurosaki. The jammers on them are also working, right? Very good." Mann arranged the arrangements in an orderly manner, "Li You, please continue to be vigilant."

Li You nodded: "Yes."

Mann was undoubtedly more experienced in cyberpunk team operations, and Li You had no intention of competing with him for command. Instead, he conveyed his arrangements to Yuzi and Aiji who were standing guard.

This commission does not lack combat effectiveness, so both of them have been responsible for vigilance work. This is indeed an insult to talent, but Aiji has long been used to it, and Yuzi seems to be quite enjoying it.

Everyone quickly moved into action, busy but not in a hurry. They quickly cleaned up the scene in a sweeper style and then evacuated in batches.

An hour after everyone left, Jimmy Kurosaki woke up first.

He realized that he was tied to the chair and instinctively raised his head, but then he felt his hair being pulled by something, and then there was a soft "click".

Jimmy was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Tanaka, who was tied opposite him and still unconscious, and an old-style time bomb placed on his chest. The red numbers on it were beating, and they had just changed from "00:05" to "00:04". ":".

"No...no no no, no-!!"

Facing the fear of death, Jimmy Kurosaki's face was completely distorted. Unfortunately, before he could even finish the tenor chant, the countdown had already reached zero, and the time bomb exploded!

"Boom——!!"

The flames engulfed the entire bathroom and completely tore the two men apart!
The jammer was naturally damaged in the explosion, and the trauma team didn't know until then that two platinum VIP customers had just died together.

Relevant departments of the trauma team were immediately scrambled.

By the time the Arasaka Special Service Force arrived and wanted to collect Tanaka's body, almost twenty minutes had passed.

At this time, Li You had already driven away in the Merrimack, following the Mann team's armed off-road vehicle, a modified Chevrolet "Emperor".

By the way, Mann himself was driving in front, because Falco had a more important task. He was responsible for driving Jimmy Kurosaki's Sword in the Stone to the old captain to sell it.

There was nothing more to say next. Mann went to the afterlife, presented Sasha's processed chip to Faraday in person, and then left to wait for news.

This time, Faraday's reply came quickly.

Not only did he say "well done" to Mann, he also said that there would be no deductions from the remuneration this time - no more, no less, a total of 790,000 euros.

However, Faraday then said that the customer had not yet remitted the money, so Mann could only wait.

"...In addition, since you have completed this mission very well, the subsequent commissions may come soon, and I will leave them to you then. So if you are not in a hurry, just wait until the next two commissions are settled together."

Mann replied: "Got it."

If it were before, Mann and others wouldn't care too much about this kind of thing. After all, middlemen are most likely to take advantage of opportunities and will not embezzle the mercenaries' remuneration for no reason, otherwise their reputation will be ruined. If it's Party A's problem, it's the middleman's job to coordinate with them.

But this time, with Li You's advance reminder, Mann immediately thought, did Faraday really intend to silence him afterwards, so he delayed it on purpose?

Many times, all it takes is a seed of doubt.

Mann and Dorio looked at each other and already had a tacit understanding.

It's time to prepare.
