Chapter 237 Respective Roads

west coast.

David Martinez frowned, looking into the distance from time to time, with a slightly anxious and nervous expression.

Where he is located is the front garrison, establishing a buffer zone leading to the coast behind him.

On the sea not far away, there is a large super aircraft carrier moored, as well as multiple guarding armed fleets.

David received a message from Gloria not long ago, telling Tang Yu that he was on his way to the Kujira aircraft carrier, and hoped that he would protect Tang Yu's personal safety as much as possible.

When he learned that Tang Yu was about to go to the West Coast, he was surprised and even hard to believe.

What Tang Yu did in the company square made it clear that he had a falling out with Arasaka, but now he wants to come here to meet two members of the Arasaka family. There must be a deep reason behind it.

He has wanted to see Tang Yu for a long time, and today may be one of the few suitable opportunities.

After looking around for a while, a black car finally appeared in David's line of sight, which was the exclusive car of Arasaka Company.

David immediately stood at the forefront of the position, commanding the Arasaka security guards on duty to prepare for release.

As the vehicle slowly entered the site, the guards raised their hands to signal to slow down until they stopped.

The vehicle came to a steady stop, David took a deep breath and then quickly exhaled, arranged his military tactical belt, and took the initiative to step forward with his men and horses.

The car door opened automatically, and Tang Yu stepped out of the car and looked at David who was walking towards him, and found that he was much taller, with a sunny and handsome face with sharp edges and corners, and a more capable and calm temperament.

David greeted with a smile, not as reserved as before: "Mr. Tang, you are back."

After finishing speaking, he ordered his subordinates to guide the car to the dedicated parking area, and then explained to Tang Yu: "I have to ask the headquarters first, and I can send you there after confirmation. The car is temporarily parked here at the checkpoint."

Tang Yu nodded without saying much, and followed David's pace to the inside of the checkpoint.

"Are you going to sit in the office? It may take a while to wait for the notification to confirm."

Tang Yu waved his hand and refused, and suggested: "Go to the beach and have a look, they have come all the way."

The two then walked for a short distance along the west coast, standing on a high stone wall platform, looking at it at will, and they could have a panoramic view of the huge aircraft carrier formation as far as they could see.

Tang Yu asked about his experience that day, and David told about meeting Mann's team in the wasteland and the reason for wearing the prosthetic King Kong.

David thought about meeting Mann in the old Vina a few days ago, and said with some emotion: "Mann has removed all the combat implants, and returned to Taiping State with Dorio to plan to run a boxing match."

"Other members of Mann's team occasionally go to Lizzie's Bar to pick up some jobs, but I heard from my mother that there are not many times."

The sea breeze blew slowly, and David lowered his head and said softly: "Mr. Tang, actually, I have been here all the time, and I want to say it."

"Thank you."

Even though Tang Yu has been suspended and may even face expulsion, David's attitude towards Tang Yu remains unchanged.

That day, he rushed to the company square wearing a prosthetic King Kong, and was maliciously targeted by Susan Abernathy. He almost lost his mind on the spot and ran away and killed him.

But at the critical moment, he fainted inexplicably, and safely disconnected from the prosthetic King Kong, and had a very real and cruel dream.

In the dream, he was executed by Arasaka because he seriously violated the company's regulations and killed the senior executives of the superior company.

After a crushing battle, he was torn apart by Adam's heavy hammer on the spot, his flesh and blood flew all over the place, and he exploded to death without a whole body.

But when he woke up with a splitting headache, he found himself lying in the ward, and even his limbs were reconnected with Arasaka's excellent cyber prosthetic body.

After returning to Arasaka Tower, he went up instead of down. Because of his great contributions, he got the chance to be promoted to the deputy director of the Special Operations Department.

This accident in the company square, this extremely real dream, and finally sitting in the top position of the company, David knows that he cannot do without one person.

That is Tang Yu.

He really couldn't be more familiar with this hard-won experience, it was exactly the same as the car accident he experienced when he met Tang Yu for the first time.

It was Tang Yu who made another shot, pulled his life back from the derailment, and even gave it a lift.

"It's all over." Facing David's thanks, Tang Yu's words were as indifferent as the sea breeze, and disappeared after drifting by.

David's heart seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand, which was painful and suffocating.

After a moment of silence, he still firmly expressed his thoughts: "I will go on this road, no matter how difficult it is."

Tang Yu nodded slightly. What David wants to take is not only the company's road, but also the road of trying to grow up and shelter the people around him.

He looked at the increasingly resolute and steady David, and he could vaguely see the shy and kind boy from before.

The two stood side by side, gazing at the sea for a while, and then someone stepped forward to remind them that they were notified by the headquarters that the special car for the aircraft carrier was ready.

Tang Yu didn't stay any longer, and accompanied by David, he took an amphibious armed vehicle to land on the aircraft carrier.

The vehicle enters the interior of the cabin through the aircraft carrier's lifting board, and then transfers to the electric car to go to the cabin after getting off the vehicle.

Until arriving at the elevator passage dedicated to the Arasaka family, a man with thick bangs guarded the door and stopped Tang Yu's special car.

David saw Oda, the personal bodyguard of Huazi, a member of the Arasaka family, so he stopped the journey and sent Tang Yu off the car to the elevator.

"Tang Yu got out of the car and followed me, and the others left immediately." Oda said in a cold voice with no expression on his face.

"Go back first." Tang Yu didn't intend to let David follow him.

After speaking, he followed Oda into the elevator and went straight to Arasaka's exclusive cabin area.

Each area inside the aircraft carrier is generally divided into several small and narrow spaces, but the Arasaka exclusive cabin area is similar to the level of refinement in the Arasaka Tower. A leisure and relaxation treatment room has been specially built.

When he came to an office gate, Oda stopped, the aperture of the prosthetic eye turned, and performed the final security scan on Tang Yu as usual.

But he found that Tang Yu hadn't implanted any prosthetic body, and no useful information could be obtained from the scan, so he said coldly: "In order to ensure the safety of Miss Huazi, I must conduct a body search on you, please cooperate."

After speaking, he wanted to make a move, but suddenly found that his whole body was fixed in place, unable to move at all.

Realizing that the situation was wrong, Oda immediately activated the combat mode, and the red prosthetic mask immediately covered his face, and the combat implant was activated instantly, and the red light circulated all over his body.

But still based on how he struggled, he still couldn't move an inch, and in a state of shock, he was convinced that the accident in the company square was the work of Tang Yu.

"Oda, don't be rude!"

The gate slid open automatically, and a shout came from inside.

At the same time, Oda suddenly knelt on the ground, the titanium alloy bones in both knees were completely shattered, so he could only reluctantly apologize: "Sorry, Mr. Tang, I was reckless, please come in."

Only then did Tang Yu let go, without even looking at the people underground, he went straight into the office.

Inside the house, Laixuan Arasaka sat on an office chair, staring straight at him, as if admiring Tang Yu's method just now.

Arasaka Hanako stood behind him, wearing a one-piece white dress, with her hands folded in front of her belly, quite dignified and noble.

Seeing Tang Yu come in, she took the initiative to say, "You talk first."

After finishing speaking, Hua Zi then turned and left, and walked into another room through the side door.

A smile gradually appeared on Arasaka's originally calm face: "I really didn't expect you to have such abilities. I really lost this round."

Tang Yu knows the ideals and obsessions in Lai Xuan's heart, but this is destined to be a dead end. To bring this terrible world back to life, it is not enough to just rely on wars to destroy everything.

"You don't have to do this. I know I can't persuade you, but if you want to know the truth, I can tell you."

Things have come to this point, Arasaka Yoshinobu's fate is already doomed.

A dragon slaying warrior risked his life to kill his evil dragon father, but in the end he found that the dragon slaying sword he was holding high was a gift from the evil dragon, how ironic and weak it was.

Arasaka Raisun suddenly stood up, clapped his hands heavily on the table, angry and desperate: "The truth? Hahaha, is the truth important? Can it change this damn bloody capital and this corporate system? Today's World Corporation is no longer a zero-sum game, I don’t want to know the truth, I want a result, do you understand?”

Tang Yu replied indifferently: "It's a pity that the result you want will not bring about a better world, at least for me."

"Don! Don't you understand that as long as the hegemonic company exists for a day and Arasaka exists for a day, no one can live in this world safely! Wake up!" Laixuan Arasaka still has not given up his last hope. As long as Tang Yu agrees, he even now Then you can return to Arasaka Tower, declare war on Saburo Arasaka, and give him the biggest surprise before he dies.

Tang Yu could only respond with silence.

a long time.

Arasaka Laixuan understood Tang Yu's intentions, and could only slump on the chair and sneer, "I understand, you are afraid of losing what you care about, and this has become the root of your weakness."

Tang Yu neither affirmed nor denied, maybe one day in the future he will embark on the road of rebuilding the world order, but not now.

Lai Xuan lost his mind and said: "Go, you can go to Hua Zi, she is waiting for you inside, I hope you will not regret it one day."

Now there is only one way left for Lai Xuan, sacrifice himself to fulfill Arasaka Saburo, and force Tang Yu to take the road of fighting against Arasaka Company.

Tang Yu knew that Lai Xuan's mind had been made up, so he didn't say anything more, got up and walked towards the cabin where Huazi was.

Arriving at another room, Arasaka Huako had been waiting for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Tang, please follow me."

The two walked back and forth through the corridors and walked towards another place.

The two entered a laboratory through various access control systems. Hanako Arasaka walked to the console and stood still, turned around and asked, "Lai Xuan has decided to return to the capital and is ready to inherit the Arasaka Company. May I ask if Mr. Tang is interested?" Continue to work in Arasaka Company?"

"That depends on the sincerity of your company." Tang Yu joked.

Arasaka Hanako took out a relic biochip and embedded it into the access port on the console.

A huge blue holographic image appeared in the midair of the laboratory, suspended high, standing in front of the two like a giant with hands behind their backs.

Facing the giant statue, Arasaka Hanako bowed in respect.

"Father, I have brought it for you."
