Chapter 143 The Truth About Red Ochre
When he learned that the gene fusion of biotechnology could actually allow ordinary mercenaries to gain the power to fight mutant beasts, Li Ang was also a little surprised by this research.
Judging from Francis' description, the effect of this genetic fusion seems to be much more powerful than he imagined.
No wonder Miles Rosalind is so interested in this project. It turns out that the genetic fusion of biotechnology can enhance the strength of the human body. It is really not an ordinary enhancement!
If Ivanov is equipped with a light power armor and thrown into the battlefield, he will definitely be regarded as a humanoid weapon capable of killing everyone.
"Mr. Francis, thank you for your knowledge. You can go down and rest first. I will arrange for you to visit Anna's surgical laboratory tomorrow morning."
Li Ang said, now that things are almost settled, it's time for Francis to leave. After all, Li Ang doesn't have the habit of leaving people to eat late at night.
"Okay, Mr. Li Ang, I wish you a sweet dream."
After saying that, Francis, accompanied by Morgan and Lucy, left the office, leaving only Leon here again.
After thoroughly clarifying the next layout idea, Li Ang ordered the AI White Queen in the room to call President Miles.
When the call was connected, Li Ang did not say too much nonsense, but said directly:
"Your Excellency, our company has a newly developed technological product called polymer. I believe you will be very interested in it."
…
…
The outskirts of Night City, a bad land.
The fine yellow sand all over the sky, swept by the raging Hada sandstorm, tightly enveloped the camp of the Luan Dao Hui, and the roaring hurricane blew through the bad land, as if the end of the world was coming.
At this moment, V, Panan and others are still besieged here and cannot escape for the time being.
But the good news is that there is enough food and water in this camp, at least enough for these people to last for a week or two.
Moreover, there was no malfunction in the engine device outside. This was thanks to V not using his gun to shoot at the gangsters, thus avoiding damage to the electrical equipment.
Otherwise, these unlucky guys trapped in the camp by sandstorms would have to walk back and forth in the dark every day.
"It seems that the hada wave will not disappear for a while. According to the worst-case scenario, it will probably last for a day or two."
V frowned tightly and looked out at the dim world outside through the glass doors and windows. The fine sand in the sky was like yellow mist, covering everything around him in a hazy and blurry manner. The visibility of the road ahead was extremely low.
Just when V was thinking about whether to send a message to Li Ang and report the situation here, Jack suddenly ran over to him and said: "V, Thor is awake!"
"Come on, let's go take a look quickly."
Immediately, V and Jack came to the room on the other side. Thor, who was slumped in the chair, and Nash, who was tied up, were all under Panan's strict supervision.
After a while, after seeing Sol gradually waking up from his coma, Panan on the side immediately went up anxiously and asked:
"Thor, shouldn't you be staying at Camp Adecado? Why were you captured here by Nash, the leader of the Random Knife Club?"
Looking at the familiar face of Panan and the unfamiliar mercenaries V and Jack, Thor was too lazy to think about what was going on. After taking a few breaths, he responded slowly:
"I originally planned to sign a contract agreement with the biotechnology company and let people from the Adecado family transport goods for the company from now on."
"Everything was settled, but before leaving the camp, I suddenly met a wanderer who escaped from the laboratory."
"He said that he was a survivor of the Red Ocher tribe and hoped that I would take him away from this place of right and wrong. I felt compassion for him, so I took him into the car."
When they heard this, everyone already roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
This is probably because Thor's rescue was exposed, and the biotechnology company specially sent people from the Sword Society to clean up the door.
If you want to cooperate with the company, you have to become someone else's Black Glove. Now Black Glove not only doesn't help with the matter, but also rescues someone else's experimental product. It's no wonder that Thor suffered such a disaster!
"Where is the man from the red ocher tribe? Where is he now?" V asked.
If the rescued wanderer was still alive, he should know a lot about the inside story of the biotechnology laboratory, but they did not find this person in this camp.
"He's dead."
"After Nash caught up, he shot the guy in the head and stuffed him into the trunk of Panan's SUV."
When he mentioned this wanderer, Thor's eyes showed great sadness and regret.
I don't know if he regrets that he didn't protect the wanderer, or regrets that he was nosy and caused such a disaster.
When Panan heard that it was Nash, the bastard, who stuffed dead bodies in the trunk of her car, she wanted to shoot Nash in the head right now.
"Hold!"
Panan kicked Nash hard with his thick-soled leather boots, simply expressing his anger.
The moment he learned that the important witness had been killed, V shook his head in disappointment. If no one told him the specific situation in the biotechnology laboratory, then he would have no way of deciding what to do next.
"Did that person tell you anything before he died?" V asked relentlessly.
He didn't want to miss any chance to find out the truth.
Facing V's question, Thor thought carefully and continued:
"He told me a lot about human experiments, gene fusion, and drug testing of biotechnology companies in the car. He also said that many people from the Red Ochre Tribe died at the hands of Joanne."
"Joanne specializes in using wanderers to test genetic drugs. Most of the Red Ochre wanderers died in the drug testing process."
When he heard the familiar name "Joanne", V immediately remembered the female director of the company he had seen on TV, Joanne Koch!
She is the technical director of biotechnology and has a very high status in the company. She can be regarded as one of the top company elites in Night City.
I didn't expect that she would be one of the main planners of this matter.
"So, you and the wanderer were both attacked by the Random Swordsmen, but Nash only killed the wanderer and left you alone?"
"I want to know why."
V's question immediately alerted Panam. She was also curious about why Nash left Thor alone.
Could it be because...these two people have reached some secret cooperation that cannot be revealed!
