Chapter 794 An Unexpected Discovery

"Oh my god, what the hell is this!"

Looking at the face in front of her, Panam was also startled, and hurriedly raised her gun to try to shoot. However, before she could pull the trigger, she saw the strange face outside screaming, and then a mantis knife suddenly popped out of his arm, breaking the glass directly and stabbing at Panam!

"Woo!"

Faced with this sudden attack, Panam gritted his teeth and hurriedly rolled away in a mess, and the sharp mantis knife almost cut through Panam's hair, swept past, and even cut off a few hairs!

"Wow ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The man who swung in vain screamed like a beast, and the mantis knife in his left hand popped out and stabbed Panam again. This time, Panam had no way to avoid it, and could only watch the knife stab into his chest!

At this moment, time became so slow in Panam's eyes. She seemed to have never felt time become so slow. She watched the other mantis knife stabbing at her, but her body was completely unable to move, as if she was pressed down by a thousand-pound boulder.

Is this the feeling of death?

However, just as Panam was waiting to die, suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed the mantis knife stabbing at Panam.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Panam's eyes widened in surprise. She turned her head and saw that D had stood beside her at some point, stretched out his left hand forward, and directly grabbed the blade of the mantis knife. In D's hand, the mantis knife was like being clamped by a clamp, and it couldn't even move.

"Woo... Ah...!!"

The man tried desperately to break free, but it didn't work, so he raised his right hand again---but this time D didn't give him a chance at all, but came directly behind him, twisted the man's arm directly, and then pressed him to the ground.

"Lucy, do it!"

When it comes to killing, D will not hesitate, but knocking someone out alive is beyond D's ability. With her current attributes, she can directly beat the opponent into pieces with one punch. What's more, the cyber psychopath has no reason at all, and there is no way to knock the opponent out. At this time, the only one who can be relied on is the hacker. After all, only they can overload the opponent's electronic neural network to make it comatose, so when D caught the cyber lunatics these times, Lucy was always responsible for assistance. Basically, she controls the opponent, and then Lucy invades the opponent's electronic neural network to make an electromagnetic short circuit, and then the opponent can lose consciousness, and then Regina can come to collect the goods.

This time is the same.

"Understood."

Lucy has also cooperated with D for such a long time, and they are familiar with each other. At this moment, she is also staring at the man who is struggling under D's body, her eyes flickering, and she begins to invade——As for directly connecting to the Internet, Lucy would never dare to do it. Just kidding, the other party is a cyber psychopath. If she directly uses physical connection, then she might be the next cyber lunatic!

"Kapa Kapa Kapa!!"

Under Lucy's gaze, the man's head also emitted arcs of electricity, but even so, he still did not faint on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Lucy was stunned.

"This is............"

"You bastard!!"

Before Lucy could react, Panam had already climbed up from the ground. She picked up the gun that fell beside her and aimed directly at the man's head.

"I want to avenge my dead family members!!"

"Bang!!"

While speaking, Panam fired directly, and at this time D also turned around in a hurry, grabbed the struggling man and dodged Panam's shooting. The bullet hit the wall and bounced directly, scaring Lucy to scream and retreat in a hurry. At this moment, the man's legs suddenly burst, emitting a dazzling light, and then his arms twisted with a click, and he broke free from D's hands. Everyone only heard a "boom". When the strong light in front of them dissipated, there was nothing left except a messy room and a big hole in the ceiling.

"What on earth do you want to do?!"

Lucy glared at Panam angrily and roared.

"Regina said to capture him alive!"

"But this bastard killed my family, I must take revenge!"

"Damn it, Regina didn't tell us!"

Lucy stamped her feet in anger and looked at Panam indignantly.

"The commission we accepted is to bring people back alive, not a corpse!"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Compared to Lucy's exasperation, D seemed very calm. Just like what he said to Lumiel before, betrayal is everywhere in Night City. Clients, middlemen, and even companions, anyone is always thinking about digging a hole for you. Besides, getting angry here won't change anything.

"Lucy, can you see anything?"

While speaking, D handed Lucy the arm that the man had just broken free from.

"…Wait."

Hearing D's question, Lucy also glared at Panam angrily, then took D's arm and examined it carefully.

"There is a problem indeed."

"There is a problem? What is it?"

"This mantis blade is the latest product on the market."

Lucy also knew that D never cared about the condition of these prostheses and implants, so she gave a direct answer.

"They won't be on the market for more than five days, but they're being pushed to this cyber madman! This is simply impossible!"

"Besides, what's the matter with what you said is really a problem?"

"When I hacked into the ICE of that cyber madman just now, I found that his ICE was very strong and difficult to hack. According to Regina, if this cyber madman has been rampant in the wasteland for ten years, then his system and firmware are already old and second-hand goods, and should be vulnerable! There is no way he can resist my invasion!"

"To be honest, it would be strange if a cyber madman could survive for ten years."

D commented, and then looked at Lucy again.

"Can you lock his position?"

"Fortunately... the tracking chip has been installed, and the other party is currently moving away from us..."

"Catch up."

D gave the order directly, and then glanced at Panam.

"I'll drive this time."

Hearing this, Panam was stunned.

"Hey, wait, that's my car............!"

However, before Panam finished speaking, Lucy stared at her with a light in her eyes, and the next moment Panam fainted without saying a word.

You do it on the first day and I do it on the fifteenth day, no one owes anyone anything.

"Let's go."

D didn't even look at Panam who fainted on the ground, and took Lucy out of the house and rushed into the car. Then he stepped on the accelerator, and the next moment the speeding off-road vehicle disappeared in the yellow sand and wind.

It is not easy to track a target in this weather. Fortunately, for the sake of safety, D stuffed a tracking chip into the man as soon as he subdued him. This is also to prevent these cyber psychopaths from escaping again after waking up. After all, Regina wants to catch them alive... If they run away, it will be too late to find them in the vast sea of ​​people, right?

Of course, the flying yellow sand makes tracking extremely difficult, and even the headlights cannot illuminate the area ahead. In addition, although this is a desert, there are also many gravels and trees. Often, a stone suddenly appears in front of the car while driving. If D had not reacted quickly enough, the car would have been smashed to pieces.

"It's right in front... He stopped, and the signal disappeared!"

"Squeak---!"

The off-road vehicle turned around and stopped steadily. In the sandstorm in front of it, a building could be vaguely seen, like an abandoned gas station.

"Is it here?"

"Yes, the signal disappeared here."

"Let's go in and find him, he can't run away!"

At this moment, D's curiosity also came up. Generally speaking, cyber madmen are lunatics who have lost their reason. It can even be said that they are like demons eroded by chaos, with only madness and killing in their minds. They will not hide or run away at all, but will only stubbornly tear apart every prey that dares to stand in front of them.

So of course, they will not update their implants and firmware.

So why does this guy have the latest implant weapons and upgraded ICE firewalls?

It's impossible that he became a madman after buying a mantis knife.

Then this matter is interesting.

This shabby gas station in front of me seems to have been deserted for a long time, and it is in ruins and mess everywhere.

However, this is just an appearance.

At the moment when D pushed open the door and walked into the gas station, suddenly, four cylindrical turrets stretched out on the ground of the gas station, aiming directly at D——————!

"Ding——————!"

At the same time, Lucy also rushed to take action, and saw two of the turrets suddenly stopped, and then closed and retracted again. The other two turrets were smashed into pieces by the power hammer thrown by D before they could show their power.

"………Military-grade turrets."

Lucy carefully checked it and reported to D.

"The power here is still going on. I can scan for signs of a lot of power usage."

"What else?"

"There seems to be a secret passage here... It seems to be here."

As Lucy spoke, she came to the cabinet behind the cash register of the gas station. She reached out and pressed it, and then the cabinet immediately slid open, revealing the hidden door inside.

"Can it be opened?"

"It's a bit difficult. I'll try. This encryption is not easy to deal with..."

As Lucy spoke, she stared at the control panel in front of her, and in front of her, blocks filled with characters appeared and disappeared. After a while, Lucy breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's unlocked!"

"Ding---!"

As Lucy spoke, the closed door in front of her opened, revealing the snow-white elevator space inside.

"Let's go in and take a look."

As D spoke, he walked in, and Lucy hesitated for a moment and followed. She is not stupid. At this point, it is obvious that this is no longer just an ordinary cyber madman. From the current situation, it can be seen that there is probably some secret behind this cyber madman, and this secret is most likely related to the company.

Hmm? You ask why?

It's very simple. Apart from the company, other forces don't have the spare money to build a secret research base under the abandoned gas station, right?

"Do you think this cyber madman built a research base under it?"

D leaned against the wall and looked at Lucy, who shook her head.

"Impossible, this must be the company... I say, D, do we really want to continue? It's not a good thing to be associated with the company..."

"I don't care."

D shook his head.

"We're already here, let's see what's going on here."

"………………"

Hearing D's answer, Lucy sighed helplessly.

She had no other choice.

"Ding——————"

Just then, the elevator stopped, and then a dark door blocked the way for the two. The door itself was ordinary, but the interesting thing was the pattern and text painted on it.

"Arasaka………………"

Looking at the sign in front of her, Lucy's face suddenly turned pale, and she couldn't help but take a step back, while D glanced at Lucy.

"Are you scared?"

"You must be joking. How many people in Night City are not afraid of Arasaka?"

"Hey, I'm not afraid."

"……………………Are we really going in?"

"Of course, we're already here."

Faced with Lucy's persistent questioning, D snorted and walked forward. At the same time, the scanner at the door also began to scan to confirm the other party's identity.

However, before the scan was completed, D picked up the power hammer and smashed it heavily on the heavy door of Arasaka Corporation.

"Court of Inquiry, open the door!"
