Chapter 274 "Too Lazy to Persuade to Surrender" The Top of the 09th Unified Branch Building

On the surface of Eridana C, this side of the "Recruit Camp" on the outskirts of Costia City.

The Free Liberation Rebels who came to support had already been eliminated by Maggie Shaw alone.

At this time, she was sitting on the wing of a Pelican taking a rest, looking up at the blue sky illuminated by the stars.

Moreover, in the sky, there would sometimes be flashes of cyan-blue light released by high-energy beams, as well as the faint firelight of ship explosions.

And these scenes only lasted for a moment before returning to a brief period of tranquility.

"Forehead"

"It hurts."

However, the wails of the rebels for their broken arms and legs could be heard all around her.

Looking at it, most of the rebels' arms and legs were broken and twisted by brute force, leaving them lying paralyzed on the sand, unable to move.

Some rebels coughed up blood and were in a daze. It seemed that their internal organs had been injured to varying degrees.

There were also some guys who completely lost their breath and turned into corpses.

There was no way, even if Maggie could control her strength, to ordinary people, it would be like experiencing a serious car accident.

Cutting off hands and feet carries the risk of becoming disabled, but at least life is saved and internal organs are damaged.

Then you can only leave it to fate.

Now, Mike and Leon were carrying medical kits in their hands and were providing simple treatment to the rebels who were coughing up blood, and then manually setting the bones of the guys who had broken hands and feet.

The two of them are not only proficient in various vehicles and electronic equipment, but are also good at battlefield medical treatment.

After all, usually, if an investigator on a mission is injured, he has to deal with it on his own.

Before the company's fleet arrived in the Eridana system, the two of them had already rescued many rebels who had been "blasted" by Maggie.

Leon, Mike, and Maggie supported part of the "resistance" spirit of the rebels in their hearts, so they tried their best to avoid killings as much as possible.

As for whether the rebels will harbor resentment in the future, it is not within their scope of consideration, because a company will be responsible for handling it.

Secondly, these are all "population", which is one of the important resources that the company values.

There may be high-quality soldiers among the prisoners. Moreover, the company's biology department developed a "lie detector" with an accuracy of nearly 100% a few years ago based on consciousness transmission technology.

In conjunction with some of the prosthetic technologies of Universe 09 (Cyberpunk), if the company wants to "manipulate people's hearts", it will be a question of whether they want to or not.

What's more, their boss also has a different kind of "mind-reading skills" and "manipulation skills" that are unknown to outsiders.

On the other hand, looking at the ODST per capita veteran, it is too lazy to take a long-term view.

"You" raise your hands and surrender, then for the sake of your compatriots, "your" hands and feet will be temporarily disabled at most.

After the battle is over, ODST will provide the best medical services.

But if "you" choose to fight, then ODST won't even bother to waste time shouting surrender, and will kill him directly.

This also enables them to have an extremely efficient task completion rate.

Swish-swish-!

Suddenly, a meteor shower fell from the sky.

This moment attracted the attention of the three Lyons.

"Good guy" Mike looked at the "shooting stars" of different sizes, which are the remains of old battleships, and said:

"This freedom of liberation is really famous for its radicalness. It really dares to be tough in the face of the company's fleet."

"Melissa gave them a chance to surrender. It was the path they chose."

Lyon shrugged, showing little sympathy for liberation.

Moreover, after he witnessed the hijacking process on the Neptune, he increasingly felt that human beings seemed to be "far superior" to all intelligent races in terms of internal fighting.

From his perspective, the only way for mankind to abandon civil strife is through absolute and sole "power" and extreme external rejection, especially against alien groups with different ideologies and values.

The most important thing is that there must be a single "person" at the top to ensure that such a regime can operate normally and efficiently.

Otherwise, we will eventually fall into the footsteps of history, just like many human governments in the universe. They were extremely powerful and internally clear in the initial stage, but in the middle and late stages they became "bloated" and "stinking of corruption", breeding the so-called powerful people.

"Agent Monadi (Mike)." At this time, Melissa's indifferent voice came through their headset communication:

“The company successfully suppressed the liberated fleet and successfully captured one of the targets of this operation. Now the Nova Nuclear Bomb is already the property of the company.

Next, the company will begin to take control of the orbit. Currently, the 7th Orbital Assault Regiment and 3rd Combat Battalion, which has arrived with the fleet, will soon be deployed to your area.

Additionally, Agent Monadi, your immediate supervisor, would like to have direct contact with you. "

After Melissa finished speaking, she transferred the communication, and then Ada's words came, and she only heard:

"Kennedy, Monadi, and Xiao, the mission of the three of you has changed to assisting the company's fleet and ground forces to quickly deal with the hidden danger of freedom and liberation, and make the Eridana system our stronghold.

At the same time, the Engineering Department will also build an Ark teleportation device on the surface. After that, the Gray Judge will also teleport to the Eridana system. "

"Okay director." After Mike responded, he asked again:

"By the way, how is the situation over at Redfield?"

"They are progressing smoothly and there are no emergencies. If the flight is not delayed, they will arrive at the Earth in the universe in 48 hours." Aida did not hide anything and said:

"And according to Aya Brea, the commander-in-chief of the Arbiter's operations and the director of the Supernatural Phenomenon Control Department, there may be extremely threatening supernatural phenomena on Earth 08.

That's why they are preparing to move their deployment to Erida Na C, which is closer to Earth 08.

If necessary, you may also accompany the Arbiter to deal with the so-called supernatural phenomena, understand?"

"I understand."

"Very good, then the rest of the matters are up to you to judge."

After Aida finished the last sentence of advice, she took the initiative to cut off the communication.

And, while Mike and Aida were talking, there was another dense "meteor shower" in the sky.

When the call ended, the "meteor shower", that is, the ODST's single-soldier airdrop cabin, had broken through the atmosphere and "attacked" directly near the recruit camp where they were.

Boom-boom--!

When it was only about a kilometer away from the ground, the individual airdrop pods started the phased buffer and fell inside and outside the new recruit camp.

Ta-ta!

The hatch popped open.

A group of "Hell Paratroopers" left the airdrop pod and quickly occupied a favorable position, ready to completely control the new recruit camp that was breached by Maggie alone.

When Leon and his friends saw the friendly forces arrive at the scene, they could finally relax and rest. After all, the three of them had not been able to close their eyes and sleep well for 36 hours.

As for the passengers and crew of the Neptune, they were also able to be released from prison.

In other words, when Leon and his friends were busy fighting against the rebels who were liberated by freedom, they did not have the spare time and energy to take care of the hostages.

In other words, the passengers and crew were also hungry for a long time.

April 14.

"Cyberpunk: 2077" universe.

The blooming of the morning sun made the "infamous" Night City at dawn.

More than a month has passed since the ninth space gate was opened on March 8, 2002 in the main universe.

The frontline base located in the southeast of Night City has also removed the optical camouflage awning, and its size is more than three times that of a month ago.

The Engineering Department used the local ready-made resources to provide ammunition, weapons and other supplies to the Royal Knights from Terrala, the Night Owl Commando, and ordinary armed members.

In addition, two Paris-class and four Fides-class ships, as well as a Heroic-class super-heavy cruiser were assembled and welded for Dorn, the Primarch responsible for the integration of the Cyberpunk universe.

Although the crew members are a group of "newcomers" with no actual combat experience, all of them are the company's reserve and have received a year of special training. In theory, they are capable of low-intensity "naval battles".

As for the two orbital assault regiments that were originally trained in the Edge of Tomorrow universe, they were deployed to the frontline base in Night City according to the dispatch of their commander-in-chief, Miles Quaritch from the Avatar universe.

Before the fleet took off, all ODSTs were "stuffed" into the ships and rushed to low-Earth orbit together.

At the same time, Jack Krauser, the commander-in-chief of the emergency response, will also be on standby in the main universe AECS, and will be dispatched to Night City one after another to ensure that Dorn does not have to worry about insufficient troops when executing the unified war.

Of course, as the governor of Terra, Dorn is also dispatching more armed security and elven soldiers to join the integration.

At present, the total number of AECS, ODST and other infantry, armor, and air units gathered in the Cyberpunk universe has exceeded 300,000.

As for the west coastline where Night City is located, as well as the central and northern parts of America, they have all become Atlas' "assets".

The east and south are still fighting stubbornly, and South America has become the "base" of military technology.

When facing a common enemy, especially an enemy that seriously infringes on the interests of capital, the giant companies in the Cyberpunk universe have shown "unprecedented" unity.

Arasaka sent secret troops to try to infiltrate the territory under the jurisdiction of Atlas to indirectly provide assistance for military technology.

In response, Dorn directly ordered two Fides frigates to carry out a saturation bombing of Arasaka's headquarters with electromagnetic main guns and plasma secondary guns.

By the way, Arasaka's factories, branches and important facilities on the island country were bombed with "conventional" metal hydrogen missiles.

The reason why Dorn did not care about the civilian casualties of the island country was that the people of the island country had long been influenced by Saburo Arasaka and had engraved the idea of ​​militarism into their bones.

So when the integration progress reached the island country, the company would also intervene forcibly and let the biological department provide all-round assistance to completely eradicate these abnormal and extreme ideas from their minds.

And the artificial intelligence led by Serin, plus the first mass-produced synthetic humans, are the key to Atlas's ability to ensure low casualties in the army.

After all, in "Cyberpunk" where the Internet and prosthetic technology are prevalent, these "species" created by humans have maximized their functions.

At this moment, Dorn is leading his direct Royal Capital Knights and the Night Owl Commando in South America to encircle and suppress the last main force of military technology.

As for Night City and the surrounding areas, Dorn's elf confidant Aoi is responsible for the continuous security war and ensuring the safety of the front-line base.

Looking down from the air.

Night City is generally still the same as before the space gate was opened.

However, the fifth corporate war, which was initiated by Arasaka and united with a group of gangs suppressed by Atlas and the siege launched by the free mercenaries, caused a large number of buildings and streets in Night City to suffer varying degrees of damage.

At this stage, Hextech robots with spider-like appearance are shuttling between cities to assist the engineering department and local workers in post-war repairs and reconstruction.

At the same time-

"Today's open positions have been updated, and all residents can browse them on the public screen and the company's official website."

"Residents who have completed yesterday's indicators, please go to the company's community office as soon as possible to collect your salary."

At the same time, the official broadcast of Atlas was also heard in various streets and blocks.

Due to the outbreak of war, Atlas cleared the gangs, and replaced the NCPD (Night City Police Department) from the inside out, and many other factors.

The already extremely low employment rate has become even more difficult to look at.

Based on the rich experience accumulated from rebuilding the new Paris in "Edge of Tomorrow" and the new Los Angeles in "Doom", Atlas began to reconstruct the order in Night City.

The first is to issue "vouchers" or "credit points" that can be used in the local area network and traded in reality to replace the euro in "Cyberpunk".

Of course, at the time of issuance, Atlas will purchase and recycle all the euros in the hands of Night City residents according to the market conditions of the local universe.

After that, it is to provide a large number of jobs to allow the people to "be self-reliant".

As for those drug addicts and those who have completely fallen into depravity, Atlas will expel them from Night City and arrange them in closed communities in the suburbs.

Atlas will provide the most basic meals and shelter. Anyway, with the existing resources, it is completely able to support these people.

But apart from food and accommodation, there are no other compensation and benefits, and don't even think about medical services.

Even if you are determined to regain your life, Atlas will still have a set of rigorous tests to identify the authenticity of these guys.

Atlas's philosophy is "for humanity", but it does not mean to become a complete "nanny".

Since Atlas provides a good environment, humans should be self-reliant and work hard to get rich.

Finally, there is the original Arasaka Tower.

Since Atlas became the real leader of Night City, this iconic building has become a branch building with a red and white "Λ" logo.

At this time.

Two large airships painted in black are landing on the apron at the top of the building one after another.

When the hatch opened, a group of young people walked out of the cabin slowly,

Among them were David Martinez, who was a trainee security guard, and Rebecca and Lucy from Mann Group.
