Chapter 183 Adekado Sharpshooter
"Get ready to go."
In the safe room, Lucy turned off the office system, and after confirming that the surveillance smart defense was turned on, she looked at V behind her and said.
V stood up from the seat and stretched, as if he was bored after waiting too long.
Since a few hours ago, she has been sitting in this chair, quietly watching Lucy busy in front of various electronic screens.
V couldn't help lamenting that he really wasn't suitable for sitting in an office, and he yawned and dozed off after a while.
Seeing that he finally came to work, he can finally go out to exercise his muscles and bones, V said bluntly.
"Let's go, catch someone who doesn't want a brain today."
After explaining the situation to Gloria not long ago, V began to work and live with Lucy.
One is to help Lucy with some field tasks and earn some rewards. After all, Gloria does not have a way to survive every day.
The second reason is that she wanted to express her gratitude. Seeing that Lucy was in charge of the network monitoring work alone, she was obviously a bit out of control.
The content of the work is not complicated. She sits and waits for Lucy to monitor cyber sabotage criminal activities on the Internet. After tracking the target clues, they set off to the destination together to arrest those cyber hackers.
Performing these tasks is generally not dangerous. Most hackers are in teams of two or three, and the value of force is not high.
Although these cyber hackers have many methods of attacking the Internet, under the escort of Lucy, she just rushed in and killed people, and she was never hacked again.
Sometimes if the task is fast, the target person will have already lost his mind by the time the two of them arrive at the scene.
The two work well together.
Lucy applied for an informant subsidy from Internet Monitoring, and V received an expense subsidy every time he was on duty.
Due to the shortage of regular Internet surveillance soldiers and not short of money, there is plenty of money to spend on hiring informants, and the money V got is no worse than commissioning.
After packing up their things, the two left the safe house.
As they descended the stairs, Lucy explained.
"This time we're not going to arrest people, we're going to the Badlands now, Adekado wandering tribe."
Badlands?
V is not very clear about the purpose of going to Badlands, and the scope of network monitoring should not include Badlands.
"Adecardo, I've heard that the famous big family on the Badlands, their leader Thor is quite famous, but the wanderers don't seem to welcome the city people."
Lucy said bluntly: "This matter was arranged by Tang Yu, and it may be related to the subnet Poseidon in your mind. You will know the specific situation at the scene."
V felt a little strange.
Was the man in the suit involved in this?
She followed Lucy's pace and came downstairs to the apartment building, where a Delaman was parked on the side of the road waiting.
V was a little surprised when he saw Delaman's taxi: "I'm afraid it's not cheap to rent this guy to go to Badlands, right? This trip is worth half a month's work for me."
Lucy opened the car door and said with a chuckle, "What are you afraid of? Someone is responsible for paying the money."
V muttered, and Bao Delaman went to the bad land, which was more or less a bit of a triumphant behavior.
The two immediately got into the car.
After Delaman received the designated customer, the mechanical voice said: "Welcome to take a taxi in Delaman, and Delaman will wholeheartedly provide you with the best ride service experience."
"This time, the destination has been accurately navigated for you. Camp Adecado in the Badlands. Mr. Tang specifically asked me to convey my instructions to you. He is already waiting at the destination."
"If there are no other doubts, Delamain will be ready to start."
"Lao De, let's go." Lucy said indifferently, her tone unconsciously resembled Tang Yu's.
V heard that Mr. Tang was already waiting at the destination, and there would be no other person who chartered this car except him.
Thinking of Tang Yu's style of sending the company's top management, it would be more reasonable if he took Delaman to the bad land.
However, she still has some understanding of the bad land environment, and the degree of danger there is no less than that of the streets of Night City, or even worse.
It is a paradise of criminals and disorder. Although there is chaos in Night City, at least there are armed pockets like the Terrorist Mobile Squad.
If someone dies inexplicably on the bad soil, even the shadow of the corpse may not be found.
V was faintly worried: "Is this mission dangerous? Why did he go too?"
She felt that Tang Yu shouldn't be the kind of person who would take risks by himself. He must have planned to go to the bad land this time.
Lucy looked down.
She knew why Tang Yu went to the Badlands in person. In addition to communicating with the Adekado family, there was another reason.
During the deep dive, she could not have any outsiders, but Tang Yu could only be with her.
This trip to the Badlands requires a deep dive into the cyberspace, and through the signal source placed by the Mann team, find the address of the matrix space to identify the purpose behind it.
She looked at V next to her and said bluntly.
"If it goes well, there shouldn't be any danger. It's just that this mission has something to do with Ye's Company."
V remembered that a few days ago, she and Tang Yu went to the annual meeting of the overnight company, and the content of that party immediately appeared in her mind.
Supercar, high heels, tying shoelaces, leaning on arms and dancing.
No, no.
It should be the strange attack by the waiter, Miriam Knight's thought-provoking conversation, and the new infrastructure plan announced by Ye's Company that night, emphasizing the matrix space.
It's just that in the past few days, the matrix space is no longer a secret, and the cooperation between Ye's company and major companies has already been on the table.
And if the matrix space construction goes well, it will provide network services to the entire Night City residents.
V asked with a bit of surprise: "Is it related to Ye's company? I remember that when I investigated the cyber madman, the first destination was the site of Ye's company. The janitor at the construction site was very strange, as if he had been It's like brainwashing."
"Furthermore, Ye's Company's charity plan is not as good as they say, and some brutal experiments may be going on behind the scenes."
Lucy nodded slightly. Regarding what V said, she already understood that Ye's company's actions are not within the scope of network monitoring duties, unless there is evidence that they are destroying the black wall, or even trying to help the wandering AI outside the black wall. Advent.
And this evidence is probably hidden in the matrix space.
Delaman heard the key word 'Ye's Company' in the conversation between the two, and the expressionless bald image appeared on the electronic screen, and the mechanical voice said.
"Now there is an advisory broadcast about Yeshi Company's instant news, do you want to listen to it?"
"Let's talk." Lucy looked indifferent. She also knew a little about Ye's company's negotiation of matrix space cooperation with major companies.
Network monitoring also sent representatives to participate in the talks, but most likely they were just going through the motions.
In order to bypass network monitoring and supervision to the greatest extent, Ye's Company also specially invited representatives from the municipal government to participate in the talks, trying to hold the supervision authority in Night City's own hands.
After all, Network Monitoring is not a local service organization in Night City, and its manpower is insufficient.
It is basically impossible to completely supervise the matrix space alone.
With Night City Municipal Government joining in the joint supervision, network monitoring can also save manpower and material resources.
Internet surveillance is much more tolerant of these big and well-known companies than general team organizations.
These upper-level decisions have nothing to do with Lucy, and she can't shake the decision to monitor the Internet.
After getting permission, Delaman continued to report the news: "Today, under the leadership of the city representative Jefferson Perales, Ye's Company held business project talks with various companies such as Arasaka, Military Technology, Biotechnology, and Kangtao. "
"Consultations and discussions were carried out around the implementation of the new infrastructure plan of Night City proposed by Ye's Company, and intentional cooperation discussions were conducted on the key network service project 'Matrix Space'."
"With the agreement of major companies, the first stage of 'matrix space' will be launched tomorrow to provide some basic network services for major companies."
"At the same time, the matrix space operation supervision will be included in the scope of municipal supervision and the network supervision agency will be jointly responsible for supervision."
"According to the known information so far, many companies, including Arasaka, have signed cooperation agreements with Ye's Company, and some companies are still in the stage of intentional negotiations."
When Lucy heard the news broadcast, there was not much new content, and it was basically the news she already knew.
Arasaka was arranged by Tang Yu, and it must be the first batch of companies to reach a cooperation. Only in this way can Ye's company open the matrix space.
On the contrary, V next to him felt that things were getting weirder.
Jefferson Perales, on behalf of the municipal government, took the lead in the negotiation of cooperation between the companies.
At the party that night, Lucius Lane's plan came to nothing.
This is properly giving Jefferson a face.
The people of Night City are not optimistic about this matter, and Night City will switch to the network service provided by Matrix Space of Night Company in the future, which makes them feel uneasy.
They figured they might as well use the last public network left after the crash, at least the corporations weren't as pervasive.
If the network provided by these big companies is changed, who will dare to surf the Internet with confidence in the future, and I am afraid that there will really be no privacy left.
and so.
Jefferson incorporated the matrix space into the joint supervision of municipal and network surveillance. To some extent, it can be regarded as the better of the worst results.
Delaman continued to report: "After the disclosure of this new infrastructure plan, it was not welcomed by the people of Night City. On the contrary, many underground hacker organizations and groups have voiced out this matter through channels, opposing the implementation of the new infrastructure plan, especially the matrix. Space Web Services."
"Fuck, these companies are really bad. Is this going to drive everyone to hell?"
V is used to hanging around on the streets, and he has already figured out the temper of this city. Compared with life or death, Night City needs space more, a space that people can use freely.
This is the charm of Night City, and it also attracts people from all over the world to gather here and come to Night City to pursue their dreams.
Now that corporations want to take away even the last bit of cyberspace, the people of Night City certainly don't like it.
Fortunately, the current service targets of Matrix Space are only major companies, and it has not affected a wider range.
"It's true that no one would expect any kindness from the company." Lucy murmured with lowered eyes.
"If the new infrastructure plan is really successful, Night City will be no different from a cage."
V agrees with this statement: "That's right, if staying here is no different from going to jail, can it still be called Night City?"
Delamain continued to broadcast the latest advice he had learned.
"Doctor Paradox publicly stated that the Matrix Project launched by Ye's Company is to turn the entire Night City into a suitable fertile soil."
"Used to cultivate the gods they worship, those AIs that roam in the cyberspace."
"At that time, everyone will have to worry a bit. Maybe one day another voice will suddenly appear in your head and say it to you with a smile."
"Your brain is good, it's mine now, hehe."
Valley area, large municipal conference room.
After the meeting ended, the participants in suits and leather shoes stood up one after another and went out one after another.
The military science and technology business group was the first to leave the conference site, followed by Meredith Stott, who was behind the vice president in charge of external public relations.
The military science and technology delegation is not small this time, and it has shown great importance. A senior vice president, accompanied by a director, and three ministers from the administration department, project department, and special operations department led the team to attend.
Although the military technology has given Ye's company enough face on the surface, they still conservatively refused to cooperate with Ye's company, choosing to continue to wait and see the follow-up of the situation.
Military Technology has cooperated with Ye's Company on many projects. The security of Ye's Company is basically entrusted to Military Technology to be in charge of, and at the same time, they purchase their weapons and equipment in large quantities.
Meredith originally thought that Military Technology would agree without hesitation, but the result was completely different from what she thought.
The branch of military technology in Night City does not need the network services provided by Ye's Company at all.
Even if the cooperation seems redundant, for the sake of the long-term cooperative relationship between the two companies, joining the matrix space will not have much impact on military technology.
Meredith soon realized that the crux of the matter was not here.
The main reason is that Arasaka's attitude is so weird that they agreed to cooperate without hesitation.
According to intelligence sources, Arasaka was the first to respond to Ye's company's proposal, and only other companies followed suit.
What exactly Arasaka wants to do, and what purpose is behind Ye's company, these make her uncertain about the situation.
After the vice president of military technology got into the car, he signaled Meredith to find her in the office after returning to the company.
After a while.
The military technology business team returned to the company building, and Meredith went straight to the vice president's office.
She stood at the door of the office and waited for a while. After showing that the door was unlocked, she walked in.
The senior vice president of military technology management in front of him is not only one of the board members in charge of Night City affairs, but also Meredith's immediate boss.
Military technology attaches more importance to Night City than other regions, and even the management is highly equipped.
Seeing Meredith's arrival, the vice president said bluntly: "You should pay attention to the matter of Ye's company's matrix space recently. The above means that you don't want to see another country within a country appear in this area. "
Meredith's heart skipped a beat, she agreed with a serious face, and then turned and left after taking the order.
She probably guessed something.
The higher-ups don't want Ye's Company to successfully implement the new infrastructure plan, so as to turn Night City into an 'independent' kingdom.
What they want more is a chaotic and disordered Night City, and finally find a chance to re-merge into the territory.
The importance of Night City to the west coast of New America is self-evident. It is not only an international metropolis, but also has an excellent deep-water harbor, and its regional economic strategic value is extremely high.
Meredith took the public elevator all the way back to her office and lit a cigar.
She was holding a cigar and standing in front of the panoramic glass with a sad expression on her face. This matter really made her a little difficult.
Tomorrow, the matrix space will be opened, and it is obviously too late to bury hidden stakes to sabotage, and this approach is too stupid. Once the leak is leaked, it will inevitably give the impression of ineffectiveness.
Ye's company's security is in his hands, and the conflict between Congressman Jefferson and Lucius Lane seems to be a good starting point.
It is really not easy to sabotage the new infrastructure plan.
Meredith took a deep breath, her brows furrowed even tighter.
Camp Arcador.
Wearing a cowboy hat, Tang Yu shook the gun in his hand. After checking the bullets, he turned it around twice in his hand.
This is an old revolver, which is a hard currency munition. It does not have any intelligent auxiliary equipment, and whether it can hit it depends entirely on the user's hand feel.
Not many people use this kind of gun nowadays, and Cassidy is a loyal believer in cowboys and revolvers. Even in his old age, he still loves these antique gadgets.
"The gun is good, but you have to see your real ability, whether it is as powerful as Panan's blowing." Cassidy stood aside, watching Tang Yu play the revolver with a smile.
Panan, with a pale complexion, stood aside with his hands on his hips, and said proudly: "Don, don't let everyone down, let them increase their knowledge, the demeanor of a sharpshooter, I absolutely believe in you, if you win the game, we will be together later." Touch one!"
Wearing overalls and overalls, Mitch was waiting for the gun match with great interest, and said emphatically, "Although Don gave me a big one, I think Cassidy's chances of winning are better, after all, no one has played it these days. It's such an antique."
Panan looked unhappy, trying to find Tang Yu back, and said loudly: "Mitch, let's make a bet. If Tang wins the game, how about giving him your 'Watch'?"
Mitch put on an old-fashioned look: "Even if you don't make this bet, I think it would be a good idea to give 'Watch' to Tang."
These words made Panan choke, and he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Fuck you, Mitch, don't use this to piss me off."
Before the quarrel between the two ended, a few gunshots were heard, followed by the sound of glass bottles shattering.
Panan quickly looked sideways, only to see Tang Yu and Cassidy both drawing their guns and shooting at the same time during the interrupted moment.
In the distance, glass bottles burst in response, and debris flew everywhere.
When the two men retracted their guns, everyone immediately checked the shooting results.
There was one glass bottle left in Cassidy's target range and missed, while Tang Yu's six glass bottles were all penetrated and exploded without exception.
This precise and fast marksmanship surprised everyone present.
To know.
Both of them used cowboy-style guns to shoot, and it was difficult to judge the accuracy of the glass bottles in the distance even with the naked eye, let alone play freely with the gun feel.
Cassidy has practiced this pistol-and-shoot technique for years, so he knows it by heart.
But it was the first time for Tang Yu to win the game with a full score.
It is clear at a glance whether it is luck or strength.
"I'll go, that's fine, Tang, I'm sure I saw you right."
After finishing speaking, Panan looked sideways at Mitch and asked proudly.
"How about it, Mitch, now you have nothing to say, 'Watch' is handed over to such a sharpshooter, it doesn't count as burying your craftsmanship."
Mitch was calm: "Anyway, I don't know how to use a sniper rifle, and you will give it to Tang for me later, but to be honest, it would be great if I can come to Taiwan again sometime."
Tang Yu took off his cowboy hat, returned the hat and pistol to Cassidy, and said, "There will be a chance soon."
Cassidy took the object and praised: "What Panan said is still not accurate, you are not a sharpshooter, but a natural sharpshooter on horseback."
Everyone laughed.
Tang Yu came to Panan and said softly: "Panan, I have something to do, let's talk alone for a while."
Panan nodded and followed his steps.
After the big guys finished, the two came to an empty tent and sat down.
Panan took out two bottles of beer from the freezer, bit the lid off with his teeth, and handed Tang Yu a bottle.
Tang Yu took the cold beer, and the two touched each other.
Panan said with some pride: "I didn't expect you to integrate into Adeka very quickly. If only Saul was here, he would appreciate you very much."
Sol led some key family members to the city to discuss business with the company. For this matter, Panan even had a fight with him.
Tang Yu took a sip of beer and looked at the Loess Tribe under the afterglow of the setting sun, feeling as if he had returned home.
He had spent some time here with Panam and knew everyone in the tribe well.
The wild and gentle Panan, the righteous Saul, Mitch, and Scorpion, the good hackers Dakota, Carol, etc.
Tang Yu once sat here with the tribe members playing folk songs and enjoying the bonfire surrounded by the silence of the wilderness.
He also indulged with the wild girl under the stars, and accidentally saw her shy and sensitive side.
Those times were good.
And now.
The Adecardo family is thriving, everyone is still talking and laughing, and the flames of war have not yet affected them.
Tang Yu thinks this is very good, and it is best for the family to be together.
He said slowly: "This is exactly what I want to say. Since Sol is not in the tribe, you don't need to participate in this operation, so as not to make trouble when Sol comes back."
The relationship between Panan and Sol has been a little tense recently. If Panan does not discuss with Sol and privately mobilizes tribal forces to support Tang Yu, it will inevitably cause greater differences.
Tang Yu doesn't want Panan to be kicked out of the tribe again, cherishing the present is the most important thing, and who will make it clear what will happen in the future.
Panan said confidently: "I thought it was something, don't worry, Sol is not that kind of stingy person, he will remember the favor you gave to the tribe."
"It's just that what's the goal of this operation, and it's preparing for deep-diving equipment, and it's going to use the convoy. I've long wanted to do something big."
Tang Yu saw that the time was ripe, so he spoke.
"The target is Ye's Company. I plan to sneak in from the maglev tunnel in the suburbs, install the signal source program chip, and see what the hell they are doing."
Ye's Company?
Panan looked very surprised, and asked again: "I know that construction site, it is a security arrangement with military technology, do you have any plans?"
While the two were chatting, the hooded Scorpion came over and said in a deep voice.
"Panan, there are two people from the city who say they are looking for you and Tang."
Panan looked at Tang Yu suspiciously, only listening to him.
"Everyone is here, ready to do it."
None tonight.
