The change in "Taipingzhou" has naturally attracted the attention of many "companies". Even if it is said to be an "N don't care" area, "Night City" is still paying attention to the situation in "Taipingzhou".

Anyway, "Taipingzhou" is also a part of "Night City", and this area does have potential for development.

As long as proper investment and vigorous demolition are carried out, "Taipingzhou" may leap to become the top resort resort in "Night City". Many "companies" are waiting for "Taipingzhou" to have problems, waiting for " Picking peaches".

However, this "peach" doesn't look so easy to pick this time.

"Where the hell did those guys come from?"

Meredith Stott was very puzzled. As the operation director of "Military Technology", she has been looking for opportunities to make contributions and be promoted. Therefore, she is paying attention to the troubles of "Night City". The change in "Taipingzhou" naturally caught her attention.

"Company executives" are the new nobles in this world. They sit on luxurious chairs on the top of skyscrapers in the company district, overlooking the city from a height, and controlling everything in the city. Every ambitious "company" employee hopes to be able to Climbing to the top floor, Meredith was naturally not surprised.

No way, this is the ultimate goal of everyone living in "Night City". Gloria Martinez also hopes that her son David Martinez can become a "company executive".

What's more, the connection between "Military Technology" and the "New Aramco" government is so deep that becoming an executive of "Military Technology" is basically becoming a member of the "New Aramco" government.

"I haven't found out yet, but they are very powerful in combat. Both the voodoo gang and the entrenched scavengers were beaten to death."

Meredith's employees looked serious. The investigators they sent were not allowed to intervene. Those people were tough and did not sell their "military technology" face.

"Which company are you from?"

Meredith is a little anxious. It's not that they haven't tried the idea of ​​"Taipingzhou", but the benefits of cleaning up "Taipingzhou" are not proportional to the effort, so they have never done anything to "Taipingzhou".

After all, there is the "New Ami" government behind them. If too much power is mobilized in "Night City", it will definitely cause a backlash from all parties.

"Night City" is independent after all. It's okay outside the city. They definitely can't send large troops in inside the city, and it's difficult for a small army to defeat the bastards of the "Voodoo Gang". Even if Meredith wants to make meritorious service None are capable.

The street fights can't be won, and financial weapons have no effect on the rotten "Taipingzhou", so Meredith has no choice but to eat a piece of fat, but now it's different, the turning point has appeared, someone defeated " The voodoo gang' bastards, here's their chance to act.

Logically speaking, if they can't get rid of the "voodoo gang", if they can get rid of them, it means that they are stronger than them, and they can't possibly try to get rid of them.

However, they can't deal with the "Voodoo Gang" because the "financial means" are ineffective. If they are replaced by other "companies", even if they can put more power in "Night City" than them, they can be financially hostile to them. The odds are slim.

In the land of "New Ami", there are really only a handful of forces that can compete with the "military technology" that has almost integrated with the "New Ami" government.

"Continue to investigate, even if we can't force them to quit, we still have to take a share."

Meredith has a firm attitude. In the current "Night City", "military technology" is definitely not popular. After all, they are on the opposite side of the interests of "Night City".

They hope to turn "Night City" into a part of "New Ami", while other "companies" hope that "Night City" will continue to be a "freedom city", and "Night City" can be successful and independent because of With the introduction of international forces including "Arasaka", the positions of the two sides are naturally opposed.

"Military technology" wants to occupy more voice in "Night City", and obviously "N don't care" area "Taipingzhou" is a good choice, they need a new sphere of influence.

"Yes, Director."

Meredith's orders will be carried out very well. Although she is not a real high-level person, she is still considered a middle-level person. Naturally, ordinary employees will not disobey her, nor dare to disobey her.

Meredith is very confident in herself. She plans to step into the top ranks of "military technology" within five or six years. For this reason, she will desperately fight all kinds of "military technology" in "Night City". Against forces and individuals, she is the "hound dog" of "military technology" in "Night City".

"Hound" moved his nose, and other "hunters" naturally cast their eyes on "Taipingzhou". Jack Wells still knows the situation of "Night City" very well. "Taipingzhou" is such a big area. Cake, the "company" will never let it go, if you don't do it once, beat them to the pain, let them retreat in spite of difficulties, it is absolutely impossible to stand firm.

On the other side, the Mann team returned to their stronghold and started a discussion meeting.

Regarding Villian's invitation, they obviously need to discuss it carefully. Join and become a direct report.

"What do you all think? Tell me."

Everyone sat in a circle in the sofa booth, and Mann opened his mouth. Let alone what he thinks, he must first understand what the team members think, maybe someone will be tempted, after all, it is right in front of him. Opportunity.

"Is that guy credible? What's his background?"

Pila snapped his wrists. He didn't have much interest in this, and he didn't trust Villian that much. The main thing is that he is a guy with a very detached personality, and he has no interest in joining the "company". .

"Remember Sasha?"

Rebecca's expression was not very eager, she mentioned a name, which was a little strange to Qiwei and Lucy.

Mann was silent, as were Dorio and Pila. Obviously, they knew the man named Sasha.

"Sasha? Who is it?"

Lucy was a little puzzled, she had never heard of this name.

"Sasha Yakovleva, the hacker before Qiwei joined."

Dorio gave an explanation, and it's no wonder that Lucy didn't know Sasha. Lucy was introduced by Qiwei, and Sasha was even before Qiwei, and Qiwei had only heard of Sasha's name.

"Died on a mission targeting biotech."

Rebecca's tone was a little sad. She and Sasha had a good relationship.

Mann lowered his head. It was the corpse he collected for Sasha. He called Sasha, but Sasha didn't answer. After he rushed over, Sasha just fell off the "biotech" building and ended up He fell solidly onto a car, and there was no way he could even go to the hospital.

"Don't be swayed by unnecessary feelings."

Qiwei was wearing an iron mask, so she couldn't see her expression clearly, but her words still aroused Rebecca's dissatisfaction.

"Old woman, what nonsense are you talking about?! What are unnecessary feelings?!"

Rebecca didn't like Qiwei very much, because although Qiwei joined the team, she didn't always act with them, and she rarely participated in parties and celebrations afterward. Wei's overly rational character doesn't go well with Rebecca.

"To be honest, is it because her former partner died in the hands of the company that she should give up the opportunity in front of her? Didn't she take the task herself? Didn't she go to the company first and then be killed by others? ?”

Qi Wei's tone was cold, but there was nothing wrong with her words.

"In our line of work, it's normal to die in a certain task, especially for a large company."

Qiwei's attitude is obviously in support of joining Villian's team. With their status, it is possible to work as mercenaries for the "company" and earn a penny of hard-earned money. It is almost impossible to want to cross class and get rid of the current life. Impossible, but this kind of opportunity given by Villian is rare for everyone.

"."

Rebecca was furious, but she really couldn't refute it. After all, she wasn't a newcomer anymore, and she wasn't that naive. Being an enemy of a big company was the most dangerous task. Even if the entire team was wiped out, it would be normal. In their line of work, they are doing the work of exchanging their lives for money.

"Hey, hey, what's the situation? Why are you arguing?"

The dull atmosphere was broken, and an uncle dressed like a waiter walked in. He is a professional driver of the Mann team, and he cannot be counted as a core member, but because he is deeply trusted by Mann, he has been cooperating with him. Whenever he needs passenger service, he will come to him .

"Falco, now there is a good opportunity in front of you, how would you choose?"

Seeing Falco coming, Mann said, in fact, Falco really integrated into the team after the death of Mann and Dorio. Before that, Falco was more like a foreign aid to help.

But because of the good relationship, Mann still called Falco over, and if Falco wanted to join, then take him with him.

From this point of view, Mann is really an interesting "boss".

After briefly explaining the situation to Falco, everyone turned their attention to Falco. The current situation is that only Qiwei in the team clearly expressed his desire to join, and Rebecca and Pila both Not very happy, Lucy remained silent, Mann and Dorio hadn't made a choice yet.

"I'm a homeless man, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help?"

Falco was a little surprised at first, and then began to hesitate. He has always been a homeless driver, and his best thing is driving. Others are average. He doesn't think that a certain big force will lack drivers, and he is not I would be happy to be a driver for some big shot.

"Do you think there will be a shortage of thugs? He just took Taipingzhou, and it's all his subordinates there now."

Pyla complained, he didn't even know what that guy liked about them, just because they were locals of "Night City"?

"I want to join you."

Lucy lit a cigarette and made a clear statement. Of course she didn't want to join. She escaped from Arasaka's laboratory and didn't like those big forces.

"."

Now it's all right, more than half of the team refused to join, no matter what Qi Wei said, it was obviously impossible to change everyone's minds.

As the "boss", Mann obviously has to take care of what the members think.

Although he is a little moved, if there is no one under his command, joining seems to be meaningless, and it is difficult to get ahead.

They can all see that Villian has no shortage of thugs at all, and there are quite a few fighters who attacked the city in "Taipingzhou".

Even the locals have been topped by Jack Wells.

"Then refuse."

Mann made a decision. It may be a good opportunity to join, but it is also accompanied by great risks. It is better to control his own destiny. He managed to make a name for himself. It takes courage to change another track and start again.

"It's not necessary to break the relationship so simply. Even if you don't join, it doesn't mean you can't help him with things. Isn't that what we do? Just give money."

As the only survivor of Mann's team after "The End of the Show", Falco, the old vagabond, has a lot of experience in the world, and his proposal was immediately approved by everyone.

Doing things for "Military Technology" is doing things, and doing things for Villian is also doing things. They are not thugs specially raised by "Military Technology".

"Didi."

As soon as the decision was made, Mann received a call. The caller was Faraday, a "middleman" related to "military technology".

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Mann connected the phone, and "Four Eyes" Faraday appeared in front of him.

"Investigate who did what happened in Pacific Island."

Faraday's words are concise and concise, without the slightest respect. Although they are all people who make a living in "Night City", Faraday obviously thinks highly of himself.

As soon as this mission came out, Mann was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that "Military Technology" was eyeing "Taipingzhou".

"How much is the reward?"

Mann didn't show a question, but asked as usual.

"The task of military science and technology, the reward is indispensable to you. It depends on the value of the information. The higher the value, the higher the price."

Faraday's answer confirmed Mann's thoughts, and it turned out that "military technology" was eyeing the interests of "Pacific Island".

"Okay, just wait."

Mann agreed, and Faraday hung up.

"what's the situation?"

Everyone looked at Mann.

"Is it easy to earn money at both ends of this task?"

Mann rubbed his chin. He was thinking about what to do with this matter. Maybe he could eat two ends and receive two shares of money.

"See how Villian reacts after being rejected before deciding."

Dorio made a suggestion, not because she was cautious, but because she had to guard against it. Some people may really become angry after being rejected.
