Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 244 Hello, Night City

matrix space.

The place was a mess.

Rebecca shot viciously, knocking out the blue-eyed man who was trying to block V's path, and then she was hit in the back by a bullet, which made her grin her teeth in pain, and almost couldn't hold the green gun in her hand.

Pila threw several cannonballs, and the waves of shells knocked over several blue-eyed men in an instant. Before he could be happy in the future, the blue-eyed man who was besieged was pressed to the ground in the next second, clasping his arms tightly, Unable to move at all, he could only watch helplessly as his golden mechanical palm was removed, but he still laughed loudly: "I can hold on for a whole day!"

V held the container tightly in his arms, and like a charging rugby player, he flexibly dodged the attacks of the other blue-eyed men, tried his best to protect the brain of Adam Heavy Hammer, and rushed to the end of the matrix core.

Dorio punched one person after another, and opened her unbelievably big eyes sideways, witnessing with her own eyes that V passed through the crowd in the melee, and then passed herself like the wind, and then placed the container in the matrix in good condition according to the established plan. At the core position, connect and start running.

In an instant, the blue data stream that was constantly rolling and surging on the server stagnated in an instant, and the blue cloud cluster in midair also stopped flowing.

This phenomenon gave everyone a shot in the arm. When they came back to their senses, they violently dealt with the blue-eyed man in front of them. They all looked at the core of the matrix in unison.

"Did it work?" Rebecca murmured, forgetting the pain behind her shoulder.

A few seconds passed.

A stream of green light suddenly rushed out from the core of the brain, quickly poured into the densely packed electronic circuit tubes like mercury, and then extended from all directions to the servers.

The server immediately executed the corresponding command after receiving the new signal. After shutting down, it fell into darkness, and when it restarted in an instant, a series of green scrolling codes lit up.

Sea God AI took over the entire matrix space, and then quickly built and generated a new firewall program according to the agreed agreement.

The blue-eyed man in the matrix space was burned out instantly, burst into sparks, collapsed on the ground and twitched non-stop.

Seeing this scene, V's pretty face showed joy, and now he somewhat admires Adam Heavy Hammer's brain, which can really carry the huge data traffic of Sea God.

"Hey, that's not bad, we succeeded!" Rebecca smiled triumphantly, even though her back hurt badly, it couldn't stop her dancing and expressing her inner excitement.

Pila shook his back vigorously, lifted the blue-eyed man who was still pressing on him with sparks, climbed up again, quickly picked up the palm of the golden prosthetic body that fell on the ground, and said distressedly: "It's broken, it's too bad Violent, this is the supreme version that Mann gave me."

Dorio finally breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat mixed with blood from her forehead: "Fortunately, everything is going well, Pillar, don't worry, Mann also has diamond-encrusted ones, isn't it more fragrant?"

Pilar laughed empty-handedly: "If it is set with diamonds, I'm afraid I can play for a week!"

soon.

The Poseidon data is uploaded to Cyberspace.

Lucy, who was busy marking the running AI, suddenly noticed an abnormality. A green light appeared at the bottom of the pillars that formed the black wall, and then immediately spread upwards and swallowed it, showing the trend of sparks starting a prairie fire.

In an instant, the black wall turned into a 'green wall', re-blocking the loophole gate, and blocking all AIs trying to enter the human network world.

The roving AI keeps attacking this 'green wall', trying to break through this new firewall program.

The green light rays branch out into nodes of light spots, and the light spots are horizontally interconnected with each other, immediately forming a tighter 'green network'.

"Sea God?" Seeing the miraculous scene in front of her, Lucy immediately thought that Tang Yu's plan had succeeded.

Although this new firewall is not particularly strong, but because it is a brand-new program system and devours the original black wall data algorithm, in a sense it is a new version ahead of the AI ​​that roams outside the wall.

Unless it is Ott's shot, the AI ​​running outside the wall wants to break through this 'green wall', and it will take a while to learn.

The gate was re-sealed, and Lucy's current task came to an end. All that remained was to hunt down the wandering AIs according to the marks. Some of them hid in the cyberspace, and some of them would enter the human world.

But no matter how they hide, it is difficult to escape the legal network of network surveillance, especially those AIs that make trouble, and it is easier to expose their own actions.

In fact, network surveillance does not have a one-size-fits-all attitude towards AI from outside the black wall. A few of them abide by the rules of the human world, and legally certified AI can obtain the right of residence, coexist in human society, and provide services within their capabilities.

Lucy suppressed the thoughts in her heart for the time being, these were all things for her, and she quit the cyberspace decisively.

Arasaka Tower, the underground Mikoshi Space Laboratory.

Sasha mercilessly trampled on the head under his feet, ending Mr. Blue Eyes' control of the body.

She didn't find any signs of Mr. Blue Eyes' data escaping, but she couldn't be sure that this was Mr. Blue Eyes' body.

Whether it's the real body or the fake one, it doesn't matter anymore, the dust of this battle is settled.

Sasha set off to the side of the long metal box, squatted down, pressed his ears tightly to the box lid, and tried to hear the sound inside.

The thick metal layer is extremely cold, and apart from the hard texture, there is no sound.

Although she knew that the Soul Killer program used by Tang Yu was the latest version, she was still uneasy, and she only hoped to see Tang Yu wake up sooner.

At this time.

The gate of Mikoshi's space slid open automatically, and Michiko walked in under the protection of several personal bodyguards.

The bodyguard entered the Mikoshi space and cleared away the remnant of Mr. Blue Eyes.

Xiao Michiko stepped onto the steel plate bridge and came to Sasha, lamenting that Tang Yu's plan had really come true.

It's just that now his soul imprint is trapped in the Mikoshi space together with Ott, and he can no longer escape from this space.

As for when Tang Yu in the metal long compartment will wake up, she is not sure, so she can only say in a deep voice: "Sasha, he will wake up."

Sasha nodded, and then asked earnestly, "Sasha wants to stay here until Mr. Tang wakes up, is that okay?"

Xiao Michiko's eyes gradually softened, and she agreed to her request. She was more at ease with a trustworthy person guarding her.

"can."

Arasaka Tower's ground floor lobby.

"Commander Commander?"

David Martinez regained consciousness in a daze. Although he could hear the call in his ear, the cyber system in front of him was still restarting and loading.

87% 91% 100%
The bright field of vision returned to the front of the eyes, and a shaking pattern appeared in the sight.

David blinked his eyes before his eyes stabilized.

An Arasaka agent was crouching next to him trying to wake him up, and a hacker was using a data connection to reboot and fix his operating system.

After a few seconds, David regained full body consciousness and took control of the huge mechanical body again. Only then did he realize that the connection with the prosthetic King Kong had been damaged in many places.

"how is the situation?"

The subordinates immediately reported the situation of the battle. The attack launched by the AI ​​has stopped. Mr. Blue Eyes broke into the Mikoshi space and has been killed. The security authority of the Arasaka Tower has been taken back.

Hearing that everything went well, David loosened his frown and smiled helplessly: "This time, you did a good job."

Afterwards, the engineering department called in a lift, fixed David up and lifted him up, and sent him to the R&D department to disassemble the prosthetic body.

The thick smoke on the top of Arasaka Tower gradually extinguished. This rebuilt giant tower has withstood the baptism of the first war.

In the armed floating vehicle not far from Wood Manor, Meredith waited quietly.

Suddenly, she received the latest information, and learned that the black wall of cyberspace had been rebuilt, the wave of attacking Arasaka Tower stopped, and Arasaka regained control of the situation.

"Things are still so stable, this time thanks to your blessing." Aunt Mei smiled a little, and immediately ordered to close the net, and dispatched a military technology special service team to attack Wood Manor, completely wiped out the last foundation of Ye's Company, Harvest the things left by the wandering AI.

Night City gradually regained its calm.

After a while.

In the underground black boxing gymnasium of Taiping Prefecture, a huge boxing match was held as scheduled. The dimly lit hall was bustling with many spectators.

In the waiting room, V sat on a long bench, wrapped his right fist with a white bandage, and the news was broadcast on the wall projection TV.

Standing by the side, Dorio put her hands in front of her body, and said with concern: "Today's match is a bit mysterious, you should be more careful after playing, judging from the current information, the opponent has not left any traces in the black boxing circle, it seems A newcomer who has just debuted, nicknamed Mad Dog, and the details are temporarily unknown."

V's black hair was tied into two boxer braids, falling behind the left and right ears respectively. He sniffled and said, "No problem, I can handle it. He should be careful."

The purpose of her boxing is very clear, it is to pass the time, no matter who is a newcomer or an old man, she must be prepared to be beaten when she enters the boxing arena.

These days, V has been fighting in Dorio's boxing gym. Because of his previous reputation, many people came to challenge him.

As V knocked out opponents again and again, his reputation became more and more famous, attracting many boxing fans to watch the games, and the business of the boxing gym was extremely booming.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Mann's figure is much thinner than before, but his complexion is obviously better. He said with a smile: "V's debut in the past few boxing matches, he has fought fiercely and with style, and the opponent is an ignorant street fighter. Boy, I hope to take this opportunity to become famous and gain countless money and fame, after all, the odds of winning against V are the highest in the whole night city."

Dorio was cautious, and said seriously: "I hope so, but there is a big client who has bet a lot of money, it is definitely not a wild way, and I am not sure that I will not play such a big game."

V didn't bother to take care of these things. Dorio had always been in charge of all matters before and after the fight, and he was only responsible for a hearty boxing fight.

These days, I haven’t met anyone who can fight, and it’s not even as good as the previous razor. The technique may not be very good, but at least it’s enough to resist beating.

At this time, the door of the waiting room was suddenly pushed open.

"Chica, long time no see. Old Wei and I are here to cheer you up." Jack walked in with confidence, followed by Old Wei.

Everyone greeted each other.

V raised his head to say hello, and then said with a smile: "Really, then I have to perform well."

Lao Wei comforted him as always: "Relax kid, there are not many people in the whole Night City who can resist your fist, if there are any, you will send him out of Night City."

"I like that." V tied up the bandage on his fist and clenched it hard.

Dorio reminded: "The boxing match is about to start. Rebecca and the others are waiting outside. Go meet them first, and then you can get ready to fight."

V patted his legs and stood up: "Let's go!"

Several people walked out of the waiting room and came to the bar in the lobby of the boxing gym.

Pila was doing his best to perform fancy acrobatics for several customers, which caused a lot of laughter around him.

Rebecca was alone on the single sofa, holding snacks, watching her brother Pila playing tricks with a bored face.

In front of the bar, Lucy and Qiwei sat side by side, each of them was lighting a cigarette, each passing the time.

Lucy turned her eyes slightly to the TV news program.

"In the past period of time, the tension between Arasaka and military technology has continued to escalate."

"Although the Arasaka Kujira aircraft carrier group has withdrawn from the west coast, the situation between the two sides has not been effectively eased. The two aircraft carrier fleets of military technology are hovering in Tokyo Bay to conduct live-fire military exercises."

"Some experts and analysts believe that the military technology's move is to fully suppress the Arasaka family when the internal conflicts in the Arasaka family continue to intensify. The confrontation may break out at any time, and even rise to the level of a nuclear strike hot war."

"However, things turned out to be another result, an incredible turning point. Arasaka Corporation announced that the research and development of relic biochips was successful, and Saburo Arasaka was reborn with the body of his own daughter Hanako Arasaka."

The screen suddenly switched to Arasaka's public press conference, and Hanako Arasaka appeared.

"Persistence can lead to victory—this is Arasaka's basic belief."

"Hakko Arasaka has dedicated everything to the Arasaka family. This is her honor, and it will be recorded in the annals of human history."

The screen switched back to the news anchor and continued to broadcast the latest news.

"New America President Rosalind Myers invited Saburo Arasaka for a private meeting to discuss the principles of long-term peaceful coexistence between the two parties."

"As the first step of sincerity, the public spokesperson of the Arasaka Company stated that it will no longer increase the military force of the Arasaka Tower in the Night City, adjust the positioning and functions of the Arasaka Tower in the Night City, and will focus on technology research and development and financial trade."

Lucy's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had a thousand things on her mind.

V walked up to her, ordered a pre-match drink, and said helplessly, "It's ironic, those who are superior, from now on, Yu will always be superior."

Lucy guessed that this should be the price of Tang Yu's deal with Arasaka, and replied in a deep voice: "Well, but in this increasingly violent storm vortex, we got a moment of peace, didn't we?"

V swallowed the wine in one gulp, and smiled: "You're right, no matter who is superior, it won't affect the ease with which I punch right now."

After finishing speaking, V turned around and left the bar, leaving only Lucy to continue to light the cigarette, looking at the news being broadcasted, but the eyes were empty without any landing point.

"Night City will never get better, and neither will this world." Qi Weihong, with a long cigarette dangling from under her mask, tapped on her laptop as if no one else was around.

Hearing this, Lucy regained her composure and sighed, "That's right, such a life doesn't seem so bad."

After finishing speaking, she put out the cigarette butt in her hand, turned her sitting posture to face the ring, and waited for the good show to begin.

The host of the boxing match held up the microphone, raised his head and announced loudly: "Gentlemen! Ladies! Let's get ready for bang bang! Welcome the real KO boxing champion—V with applause and cheers!"

Wearing a deep hood, V stepped onto the ring first, under the enthusiastic gaze of the audience.

Hearing the thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, V's expression remained calm, as if all this had nothing to do with her, or was not what she wanted.

"The next one will be our brave challenger. No matter what the result is, at least we will admire his courage." The host joked and made the audience laugh.

Soon, the Brave Challenger, also wearing a hood, stepped onto the stage and stood opposite V.

When the two were in their seats, the host signaled both parties to take off their hats and performed fist bumping etiquette.

V took off his hood, looked up at the other party, his expression froze instantly, and he was stunned.

I saw Tang Yu stretching out his fist towards her, smiling a little wantonly.

Everyone who saw this Yanzu pay attention, important report! ! !

The main storyline ends here.The postscript will start tomorrow.

The epilogue can be ordered or not, and it has nothing to do with the main plot.

It's just some daily interactions with fan characters, mainly Rebecca, Lucy, and V. It's a pity that Rebecca has too little role in the main text.

(The following is a short final testimonial and book preview.)
Done.

Reported results: 4700 for the average order, and over [-] for the high order.

There is a lot to thank for the small group of cyberpunk fans who can achieve such good results, but the first and most sincere thanks are all the most important readers. With your support, this book has come to the end. moment!
Super invincible thanks!

In fact, the instant noodles felt quite sudden to me, and there were no waves in my mind as I imagined.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and I feel as if I have just opened a new book, and I have never taken a day off from work. I am proud of instant noodles.

It may be that in the past six months, the brewing feelings of embarrassment and regret have been gradually released, and the original intention of creating instant noodles has been completed.

I have always been worried that Tang Yu would not be able to be powerful, destroy Arasaka, use military technology, and burn down the entire Night City. It would make people feel aggrieved, not to mention cooperating with Arasaka Saburo. It is estimated that there will be no second book like this on the Internet It's over.

But judging by the feedback from the reviews, it's pretty calm.
In short.

The second creation story of "Cyberpunk 2077" and "Cyberpunk: Edgewalker" in the heart of Instant Noodles has come to an end.

Thanks for accompanying me all the way.

New book preview:

The new book is of the urban cyber genre, and its release is scheduled for early March.

The instant noodles will be announced on the official account (with the author's name), reader group, and book review area.

last of the last.

I sincerely wish everyone good health and all the best!
