Endless Battlefield: Starting from Night City to Create a Vest

In the world of cyberpunk, the United States has not become an international hegemon. The country has even been torn apart by the European Union, and only a few continents still belong to the United States.

So the currency used is Euro.

Night City was built on the ruins of the United States, and as we all know, these people always have their own unique insights on population control.

It has also resulted in large tracts of land becoming barren, with even yellow sand filling the sky and tumbleweeds occasionally sliding across the rock walls.

This situation is extremely dangerous for two children aged eight or nine.

Although the two possess unimaginable advanced prosthetics and hacking techniques, these are of no use for survival in the wild.

Going to Night City? First you have to know where Night City is, right?

Fortunately, Arasaka's base is not far from cities in other continents, but the only problem is how they explain where they came from.

But this is easy to solve.

It is very easy for hackers to forge files. They just need to crack their own system and then make changes to the system's ownership and previous cases.

Big data survey?

There is no way to modify this, after all, it is on someone else's cloud drive. Although it is possible to hack into it and make local modifications, it can temporarily deceive the user.

However, with Arasaka's power, it is actually very simple to investigate children aged eight or nine, especially those who entered the city alone. It may not be possible to find them immediately in a short period of time, but over time, with big data verification, the truth will soon be revealed.

This is also one of the main reasons why Lucy changed her position every once in a while in the original work, for fear of being investigated. Now with his joining, the company is likely to increase manpower to conduct searches.

As for why no one cares about Night City?

The reason is very simple. At that time, Night City was not managed by the state, but by capital. In addition, many giants gathered in Night City, which led to the inability to unify the data and gangs fighting each other.

The daily data is even more difficult to count.

This also means that Night City can be used to hide people, but it is also because of this that Night City has become a place to pursue dreams.

Mercenaries, assassins, legal dealers of drugs or illegal Mewtwo.

Night City is an inclusive city that encompasses both good and bad. As long as capital can make a profit, it is a paradise.

The premise for ordinary people to enjoy the benefits is that they do not go against any company, no matter which company it is.

Wu Guang licked his dry lips. Fortunately, they had a full meal before coming out, otherwise they might not have the strength to walk on the street now.

The girl with the watermelon head is called Yi, which is only one character. It is said that she was adopted by Arasaka from an orphanage that was about to go bankrupt. She knew clearly that she was abandoned in the orphanage by her biological parents. Although she was young at that time and did not know what abandonment meant, she knew instinctively that she was abandoned.

So she simply stopped mentioning her last name.

When Wu Guang heard about the other party's experience, he felt quite sympathetic, but he was not surprised. After all, he had long known that these people were abandoned by society, and there would be no trouble even if they disappeared.

The memories of his previous life were even more tragic. He was sold by his stepmother, and his biological father and stepmother discussed it in front of him, and even scolded why the owner of this body was not a girl and would be more valuable.

I will cry if I continue.

In terms of misery, the boys and girls are all the most miserable.

"Wu Guang, I'm so thirsty...why don't we take a break?" Yi looked at her thick little legs, which were trembling and unable to stand steadily.

As a hacker, the most daily exercise for her is probably getting out of bed. The rest of the time she is either lying down or sitting. She seldom exercises. You could even say that she has stopped exercising since joining Arasaka.

I was able to follow Wu Guang for a whole night and half a day, and the distance I walked in this short period of time was longer than the distance I had walked in the previous eight years.

Wu Guang sighed when he saw this. He also wanted to take a rest, but they couldn't stop. If they stopped, they might be discovered by Arasaka and killed.

"There is a crossroads ahead. Once we get there, we can take a rest." Wu Guang tried to persuade the girl to keep trying.

But the girl pouted her face: "That's what you said an hour ago."

Wu Guang scratched his head and wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it. After all, who knew if there was a crossroads ahead. He just mentioned it casually, just like his mother often said when he was a child, we will be there soon.

I inexplicably experienced the feeling of being a parent.

When Wu Guang was struggling with what excuse to use to deceive the little girl, a car appeared in Wu Guang's sight in the distorted distance, and the direction of the car was exactly their direction.

Seeing this, Wu Guang immediately pulled Yi towards the edge of the road. Seeing a few tumbleweeds nearby, Wu Guang and the girl went straight in.

I saw a car! It might not be Arasaka's, so I need to confirm it first.

The confirmation method is very simple.

Wait for the other party to get close, then hack directly.

In order to prevent the other party from rushing forward when restarting the system, or intentionally rushing towards them, they need certain hiding places and obstacles, so they run down the slope and hide.

Soon, the distorted car in the distance took on its true form: a pickup truck.

There was also cargo being pulled in the back, and the driver was a bald uncle with an untidy beard. One of his hands was hanging outside the window, and he had a big gold chain around his neck, looking like a gangster who was very afraid of school violence.

Wu Guang's eyes lit up when he saw this.

You can tell at first glance that he is not from Arasaka. All employees in the company have to pay attention to their appearance and wear formal attire.

However, Wu Guang was not careless and did not intend to walk directly onto the road and raise his thumb to indicate that he wanted a ride.

He squatted quietly behind the tumbleweed pile, waiting for his opportunity.

"Yi! You hack into the vehicle and see if you can make it stop. I'll have this guy reboot the system."

"it is good!"

The pickup truck was not moving very fast, only about 40 to 50 mph. With the speed at which they could decipher it, they could still hack into it as it passed by.

The reality is easier than you might think.

The moment the vehicle entered the invasion range of the two, Wu Guang restarted the opponent's system, causing the opponent's body to lose control, and Yi even invaded the vehicle.

Fortunately, this car is not purely manual, but has an AI chip. As long as the AI ​​is invaded to slow down, the car and the person can be safely stopped in front of the two of them.

If they were missing one person, it would be a bit difficult to control the situation so easily.

"Hey! We have a car!" Wu Guang was very excited. With a car, they could quickly escape from this dangerous place.

Yi was even more excited because she finally didn't have to walk anymore.

On the other side, inside the Arasaka base.

The leader of Wu Guang and others listened to his subordinates' report with an incredulous look on his face.

"What did you say? Those little bastards ran away! They ran away under the supervision of so many of you living people!" Oak listened to his subordinates' report dully and even scratched his ears with his hands.

"A group of eight or nine-year-old kids?! They ran away under your surveillance! Without leaving any trace? They left the base?" Oak's words could be said to come out of his mouth one by one.

He worked so hard to gain the trust of the higher-ups, just to give him another chance, and signed a pledge to complete the task brilliantly, but... isn't this fucking mess?

How to report to the higher-ups?

They said these kids disappeared from the base? It's haunted? What era is this? It's haunted!

Oak felt his blood pressure rising, and there were stars appearing in front of his eyes.

The person who reported to him was also trembling with fear at this moment, but he still mustered up his courage and said: "But we still managed to recover six with the help of the system positioning!"

When Oak heard this, his high blood pressure eased a little.

"It's not bad if we can get six back! At least the plan can be carried out. And the remaining three people must be brought back for me, dead or alive, as long as the prosthetic bodies can be brought back, otherwise these losses will be borne by you and your team."

The person reporting this had a complicated expression on his face.

Seeing the other party's expression, Oak said unhappily: "If you have something to say, just say it. This is a dereliction of duty on your part. If I didn't need you to chase the remaining three now, you would have been fired by now!"

The person who reported it said hesitantly: "All six people are dead."

"..."Oak's blood pressure rose again, so high that it directly broke through the Baihui acupoint and almost burst out. As a result, he fainted.

"Lord Oak!"

five minutes later.

"Who gave you permission to shoot? You must hit the vital parts! They are just children!" Oak didn't know what to say for a moment, and even thought that these people were too cruel.

The person who reported the incident looked taciturn and dared not speak.

"Say!"

"Lord Oak, we were all knocked down because of the drones. By the time we realized the seriousness of the problem, the drones had already killed the enemy autonomously."

"So you told me that the system located it and then recovered it?!" Oak looked at the reporter with bloodshot eyes. At this moment, he wished he could eat this guy alive.

What do you mean? Let him despair directly, then give him hope? And then crush it yourself! ? Are you a devil!

"...I later located them using the system and retrieved these six."

"... Then I have to praise you!" Oak felt that he couldn't breathe. How should he explain this? There was no hacker left. The key point was that if they had escaped by killing, he would at least have a better excuse.

Now everyone in the base is fine. If we have to talk about the losses, yes, Que did have a drone.

"Bring all the information to me! No, I have to go with them myself!" Oak, who had high blood pressure, finally went with them himself. What if these FWs messed up again?

He has to watch the whole time!

The reporter didn't think much about it when he saw this. He led Oak to the surveillance camera.

Then the two of them started to look all the way after Wu Guang and the others disappeared after finishing their meal.

Nothing at all.

Of course, it wasn't that there was nothing at all, but the screen was black. When the picture appeared, it was the drone shooting the group of kids.

And they were all killed with ease, as if these kids were deliberately released and then chased by drones.

"...Wait, weren't there three who escaped? Why is there only one in sight? And why is the drone not chasing after him?"

“Lord Oak, this is beyond the maximum range.

"You mentioned the system positioning before. Can you locate those three guys now?"

At this moment, an adult male hacker was operating in front of the computer. He soon shook his head and said, "Three guys have reset the system. They were divided into two groups, two people in each group. They reset the system at 1:12 last night and deleted the tracking and positioning system. Currently, they cannot be remotely located. This is the last location where they disappeared.

The other was at 5 a.m., which is where she disappeared.”

Oak looked and found that there was no reference for the vanishing points of the two people. They were restarted less than 500 meters away from the base. There were too many future routes.

The other one is much easier to judge. The place where he disappeared is very close to the nearest city in Di Asia. Maybe we can catch him by going there.

"Send people to this city to investigate! It's just a kid, he should be able to sneak in, and the two targets are unlikely to go the same way as this person. Search this area thoroughly. Oak marked out a desolate area and said, "These little things are just a group of children! They can't run far. I'll give you five days, you must catch these bastards for me! Make sure they're alive!"

"Yes!"

The order was quickly given.

Several teams in the base set off quickly.

If Wu Guang were here at this moment, he would find that they were assigned ten teams, or fifty people, to hunt down the enemy, while Lucy only had two teams.

After finishing everything, Oak rubbed his temples, feeling that his luck had been bad. How could he have played such a good hand so badly? He didn't achieve much and directly lost a group of hacker seedlings.

The key is that if they die, it's fine. The prosthesis can be dismantled and refurbished and can still be used. The loss is nothing more than some dispensable orphans. Although it is a bit difficult to collect them, it is not a difficult task. The cost of the loss is still acceptable, but the loss of the prosthesis is a big loss! Each set of prosthesis starts at 100,000 euros.

If these three guys cannot be brought back, the cost of education, prosthetic repairs, drones, etc., the loss will start at 800,000 Euros.

For a team leader of a project, this loss was enough to cause him to step down as commander of his current base.

No, we have to find someone to take the blame!

That guy who is not a good guard can be taken care of! And he seems to be alive! And he has an alibi! And the guards, oh! That troublesome spy in the armed forces department can also be dealt with! If done properly, even all the other spies in the base can be eliminated at the same time! That's what we have to do!

Oak quickly came up with a plan to pass the buck and purge the group, and began preparations.

As for recovering Wu Guang and the others, although it was important, nothing was more important than passing the buck! If he failed to pass the buck, he wouldn't need to worry about the loss and could just wander around with them.

Although it seems that he, as the base commander, suffered the greatest loss, it was also an opportunity, and it also created a rare opportunity for him. As long as he used it properly, he could put the blame on other factions!

PS: This is a 4,000-word chapter. I worked the night shift and it’s a bit late when I get home. I’m too lazy to share it. I’ll continue to work hard tomorrow.
