Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 91 Cyber ​​Zombies
After eating.

Tang Yu and David set off from the valley area and went home by suspended rail transit.

In the carriage, David was very surprised. As a senior executive of the company, why did Tang Yu always choose to take the subway, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

David's gaze seemed a little dull, and he kept thinking about what happened today in his mind.

It all happened so fast that he didn't have time to digest it.

In the morning, he was ridiculed by Katsuo Tanaka, worried about what to do with the internship tomorrow, and had a meal with Tang Yu at noon, and all the problems were easily solved, as if they didn't exist at all.

In fact.

David is very young and very shy, but he is not stupid.

When Tang Yu took the initiative to invite him to dinner and asked him to stay in Arasaka Company for an internship, David had already vaguely guessed something.

Will there really be unreasonable favors in the world?

The possibility of providing an internship position is nothing to Tang Yu, not even a small effort.

But how many parents lined up wanted to cling to him and win such a place for their children.

When the meeting was over, a large group of Arasaka Academy leaders surrounded Tang Yu.

It can be felt that Tang Yu's status in Arasaka Company is good, and he is definitely a heavyweight existence.

David glanced sideways at Tang Yu beside him, and found that he was staring intently, as if admiring the scenery outside the window.

I thought that if it wasn't for the car accident, I wouldn't know Tang Yu.

Perhaps many things have changed a lot since the moment I met Tang Yu.

David was overjoyed that his enthusiasm had passed, and when he thought of the future, his mood would inevitably become heavy again, and he said to himself.

"Mom must have found Mr. Tang."

"Otherwise, why would Mr. Tang look for him suddenly? It's really unreasonable."

"I really don't know how my mother will repay this kindness."

"Fortunately, Mr. Tang didn't embarrass us, otherwise we will inevitably be laughed at."

David once again thought of the picture of Katsuo Tanaka looking for him to be happy, his arrogance and contempt for everything made him feel infinitely disgusted.

Tang Yu heard that David beside him seemed to be thinking about it, but it was not very real, so he asked.

"What, have something on your mind?"

David froze for a moment, and quickly explained.

"No no"

With that said, the train has arrived in the Santo Domingo Valley area.

David hurriedly said goodbye to Tang Yu, and hurried out of the subway with a brisk walk, avoiding more embarrassment.

David walked out of the platform, collected his mood, and decided to run back to share the good news with his mother.

He felt that he had changed a lot, especially after experiencing that real dream, he gradually realized that his mother was always the one who really cared about him.

Since my mother wanted to see me join the Arasaka Company, even if it was difficult to do, it might not be what she really wanted, but when David didn't want Gloria to see him again, there was only disappointment in his eyes.

David ran all the way home, just opened the door and entered the house, and found that the house was quite clean, the clothes had been dried and dried, but there was no one there.

"It seems that mom is out looking for a job."

David took off his shoes and walked into the house. Having nothing to do, he took out the Mecha ring from the bedroom, holding two Mecha chips in his hand, which were new from the prosthetic doctor.

These Chaomeng chips were prepared by him early, and he planned to experience them at home alone, and experiencing Chaomeng became one of his few hobbies.

David looked at Chao Menghuan, but thought that he would go to Arasaka Company for an internship tomorrow, so he put the things back.

I ran to the mirror again and began to practice and prepare.

"Hi, I'm David Martinez, and I'm here to report to your department at the invitation of Mr. Tang."

"No, no, it's too stupid, let's start again."

"Hello."

at the same time.

After saying goodbye to David, Tang Yu continued to take the subway home.

He didn't plan to go to work in the afternoon, and he had to wait until there was no news from Gloria.

As for David's internship in the counterintelligence department, he can go directly to the front desk to report, and he has been arranged for an old staff who is familiar with the work to guide him.

Several days have passed since the day when Michiko handed over the errand.

Tang Yu is not in a hurry, it is still an old habit, and he will not make a move easily until he has a thorough understanding of the situation.

Military technology is not a good thing, and we have to wait for the other party to show some flaws.

As for Susan Abernathy, the three-month suspension has subsided. The scavenger took revenge last night, but no traces related to the company were found, so there is a high probability that it belongs to the scavenger's revenge.

Back then, Tang Yu, Mr. V, and Jack, the three of them turned over the scavenger's lair and rescued a woman named Sandra Dorset.

Afterwards, he was actually overtaken by a van scavenger, and he insisted on fighting endlessly.

Later, another child V was tricked into watching Chaomeng by the side of the road, causing the scavenger to have a bad waist, so that he formed a deep bond with them.

The more blood on his hands, the more his reputation gradually grew.

At that time, there were no scavengers in Watson who didn't know about Tang Yu and V.

Soon.

Tang Yu returned to Little Chinatown in Watson District and walked into his high-end apartment.

Seeing that it was still early, he decided to have some afternoon tea.

Just as Tang Yu was preparing tea and snacks and sitting comfortably on the balcony enjoying afternoon tea, he suddenly received a communication request from Gloria.

Connect to the incoming call.

Gloria got straight to the point: "Mr. Tang, Mann and the others have completed the commission and successfully found Riley Hine. They were indeed kidnapped by the Maelstrom Gang."

Tang Yu has never doubted that Mann's team is capable of completing this commission, but it seems that there are indeed some means to act so fast.

"I see. How about the Rileyhines, have you sent them back to Valentino?"

Gloria: "Not yet. He has been sent to the public medical center for emergency treatment. When he was rescued, he was in a serious condition."

Tang Yu had already expected this. Few of the people who were inexplicably kidnapped and disappeared in Night City could come back alive safely.

Some were arrested to do some unknown secret experiments, some were hammered unconscious and placed on the operating table like dead pigs, and some were kidnapped into a dark room to record the tragic black super dream.

In short.

Missing in Night City for no reason is definitely not good news.

Riley Hine was considered lucky, at least one life was saved.

Gloria continued: "Mr. Tang, are you free tonight?"

As if she thought it was impolite to ask such a question, Gloria quickly explained: "There are some details of this commission that need to be reported to you in person. This matter is related to military technology. In addition, I would like to thank you personally for David's internship. .”

Tang Yu thought for a while, but he didn't seem to have an appointment at night, and replied: "Okay, I'll find a place, and the address will be sent to you later."

Gloria: "Okay!"

After hanging up the communication.

Tang Yu called Jack again and told him that the matter of Valentino's gang had been resolved.

Jack was very happy: "Brother, how much did you spend this time, give me the amount, and I will pass it on to you. I can't let you spend again."

Tang Yu joked: "Jack, you look down on people, do I need some money from you, but if you are ready, you may have a job tonight."

As soon as Jack heard that there was work, he immediately became excited.

"Hey, let me tell you earlier, I've been holding back at home for several days, so tell me, what's going to happen tonight, don't just sit and watch the show like last time."

Tang Yu smiled: "Isn't it good to sit and watch the show? I might go to the Whirlpool Gang tonight."

Jack: "Go to the territory of those cyber lunatics of the Maelstrom Gang again. They are endless, aren't they? Isn't the lesson from last time not hard enough? Riley Hein just happens to settle the score with them."

Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "Well, when it comes to military technology, I have to go to them to get some useful intelligence information."

Jack casually agreed: "No problem, brother, I will arrange it for you tonight, just contact me."

Tang Yu didn't repeat the details: "Okay, you drive, and we will discuss the specific situation in detail."

End the communication.

With the sunset, the sky gradually darkened.

Wallerson Street, Santo Domingo Valley.

At the entrance gate of the factory, there are several hot food huts, with light blue lights illuminating the surroundings, isolating the invasion of darkness, as if forming a small world of fireworks.

Crowds of people dressed in cowboy style come in and out of the factory gate, and they will buy some hot food when they pass by, but the traffic is not large.

In one of the Chinese-style hot food houses, Tang Yu was sitting in front of the stall, ordered some meals at random, and chatted with the boss one after another.

The reason why Tang Yu chose here was not only to make it convenient for Gloria to come over, but also because the vendor owner had some communication with him.

It was under the strong recommendation of this boss that he and Mrs. V drank the stupid monkey.

Clumsy Monkey is a high fructose corn syrup with a smoky, corn-sweet taste.

In fact, Tang Yu doesn't like this kind of high-sweet drink very much. The most important thing is that the crazy girl like V likes to drink it, so he fell into the pit.

At the beginning, I specially bought a large box of stupid monkeys and put them in Mrs. V's house, hoping that she would drink until she vomited. Unexpectedly, the more she drank, the more addicted she became.

Daryl, the owner of the stall, was boiling a pot of hot water to make some pasta. The steaming water vapor billowed out, adding a bit of fireworks.

Tang Yu has sent the address to Gloria in advance, so I wait here for her to come.

Soon.

Tang Yu heard a familiar voice from beside him.

"Mr. Tang, sorry for being late."

Apologetically, Gloria put back on the yellow cyber jacket, the uniform of the public health center.

Tang Yu didn't say much, and asked her to sit first.

Gloria understood that Tang Yu chose to meet here because she didn't want her to spend money.

If she went to those high-end restaurants like Ember again, even if she paid for it, it would still be Tang Yu's pocket in the end.

This made her really embarrassed, and every time the expenses were counted, it was still counted on Tang Yu's head.

The stall owner took the initiative to step forward and asked, "What do you want?"

Gloria asked, "Do you have rainbow manticores here?"

Rainbow Manticore is a low-priced and best-selling drink in Night City. Almost the low-level wage earners will drink a can when they have nothing to do, to refresh their minds.

Daryl, the owner of the stall, said with disgust on his face: "Why are you drinking this rotten soup? I heard that some batches still glow at night!"

Then the topic changed, and the smiling face recommended: "We have stupid monkeys, the taste is much stronger!"

Tang Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw the shop owner trying his best to promote sales. I'm afraid this guy is not the general agent of the stupid monkey dealer, so he still does this.

Gloria froze for a moment, but Tang Yu next to him said directly.

"Boss, here are two cans of stupid monkeys."

Seeing that the sale was successful, the boss Darryl burst into a smile, took out two bottles of Stupid Monkey from under the counter, and put them on the booth.

A green soda can with a monkey head printed on the shell.

Gloria tried to pick up a can and pulled off the cap, and a smell of sweet and fishy corn hit her face, almost fainting her.

She took a sip with a stuffy nose. The taste wasn't too bad, but the taste was too strong, so she coughed lightly twice.

Tang Yu also opened the can and took a sip.

In fact, Tang Yu likes to eat corn, but he hates corn-flavored drinks. It's a strange thing that can't be explained, but it feels like that when he drinks too much.

Tang Yu put down the stupid monkey and asked Gloria beside him.

"how is the taste?"

Gloria took a piece of paper and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"It's okay, but the smell of corn is too strong."

Tang Yu smiled: "To be honest, I don't like the smell of corn too much, but fortunately, I won't have a stomachache after drinking it."

Gloria nodded, agreeing with what Tang Yu said, and said with an apologetic tone.

"Mr. Tang, thank you for the internship at David's company."

When speaking, Gloria didn't dare to look directly at Tang Yu, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

Troubling others over and over again, even if you have done something for Tang Yu, but after all, the reward is not worth the favor.

Tang Yu didn't mind: "It's all trivial things, and David's performance in various subjects in the college is quite good, and it's not bad to stay in the company for an internship."

Gloria would definitely not take such kind words seriously. Doing well at Arasaka Academy and staying at Arasaka Company as an intern are almost two different things.

Moreover, in order not to embarrass David, she specifically asked Tang Yu not to tell David the truth behind it.

David didn't know from the beginning to the end, the cost of repaying the academy's compensation and staying in the Arasaka company as an intern.

Gloria was indeed in a desperate situation, and she couldn't think of any way except to find Tang Yu.

The stall owner saw that Tang Yu was wearing a suit and uniform, and he spoke and behaved like a company member, and he interrupted while he was busy.

"Sir, miss, from the looks of your clothes, you should all work in the company. It just so happens that my sister just competed for a job in a company this year, so she finally found a good way out."

"She was still helping me a while ago, and now she has gone to work in the company."

Daryl, the owner of the stall, had a smile on his face unconsciously as he spoke, probably because he felt gratified and proud that his sister joined the company.

Gloria seemed to be touched, and asked: "Boss, which company did your sister join?"

Stall Owner Daryl: "Zeta Technology."

Gloria was a little surprised. Zeta Technology is also a big company in Night City. Being able to join such a big company is indeed a leap of faith for a peddler.

Tang Yu knew about this matter. The younger sister of the stall owner Daryl once grew up on this street.

The few street gangsters who had known each other in the past hated the company very much.

Later, his sister joined Zeta Technology and became a company employee.

The hooligans thought that his sister had betrayed him, and they came to find fault with the vendor Daryl all day long.

At that time, it was still V who came forward to help him and dealt with a few street gangsters.

But now it seems that Daryl, the owner of the stall, seems to be still immersed in joy, and trouble has not come to his door.

Gloria, who was still somewhat reserved at first, gradually returned to normal after being interrupted by the stall owner, realizing that it was time to get to the point.

"Mr. Tang, there are some new discoveries about Riley Hein."

Tang Yu nodded and motioned her to continue.

She sorted out her thoughts and began to elaborate on the news and intelligence she had received.

"Riley Hine, a member of the Valentino Gang, was indeed kidnapped by the Maelstrom Gang a while ago."

"He was imprisoned by members of the Maelstrom Gang, and the location is near the sea street in the middle of the North Industrial Zone of Watson City, where there is a secret experimental base of the Maelstrom Gang."

"Mann found it there, and fought with the Maelstrom gang, and when he finally rescued Riley Hine, he was almost delirious and inhuman."

"Because his whole body is covered with all kinds of strange new prosthetic bodies, like the arms of an excavator, and the back half of his head is also dug out, replaced with a metal electronic panel, and implanted with a cybernetic space deep-diving interface. Haven't had time to sew on yet"

"Two eyes were also gouged out, and a mechanical cylindrical prosthetic eye was implanted, and all the parts of the body that could be replaced were replaced. It looked bloody and bloody. To put it bluntly, it was really no different from a cyber zombie."

Tang Yu frowned slightly. The Whirlpool Gang has always had the habit of crazily implanting prosthetic bodies. Not only gang members, but everyone caught by them will suffer from cruel prosthetic body implantation.

Flesh is weak, machinery soars.

Tang Yu pointed out the key point: "You said before that this incident may be related to military technology, meaning that Riley Hein has an experimental implant of military technology?"

Gloria nodded, her expression becoming serious.

"After testing and investigation, Riley Hein not only has an experimental prosthetic body of military technology, but also has taken unknown hormone drugs, and even found signs of being invaded by data streams in the cybernetic deep dive interface on the back of his head."

"Mann said that the matter behind the search has nothing to do with them. He can only remind that it is not just a military technology company that is involved in the matter of the Vortex Gang."

Tang Yu was silent.

Unexpectedly, a kidnapping case would involve so many secrets.

Judging from the information he has so far, at least two companies, military technology and biotechnology, can be confirmed to be involved. As for the invasion of brain nerves, Ye's company cannot be ruled out.

As for the Whirlpool Gang doing these jobs for money, this is nothing new.

No matter what tonight, I have to talk to Brick, the boss of the Vortex Gang, and dig out some useful information from him.

Tang Yu drank the remaining stupid monkey in one gulp, and the sweet smell of corn filled his nasal cavity, and it really hit his head.

"Tonight, we have to go somewhere and listen to heavy metal music."

Gloria was a little puzzled, looked up at Tang Yu and asked.

"listen to music?"

Tang Yu nodded and said: "Death Dance Club, you may not believe it. They also have a 'tinnitus' band in their hands. Every time they perform on stage, they are different people."

"That old boy, Brick, dreams of heavy metal music all day long, fantasizing about making a name for himself in the Night City music scene."

After finishing speaking, Tang Yu dialed Jack's communication.

　Today's reward, the instant noodles are really blown away, all kinds of lords, suzerains, heads, and helmsmen.

　　Thanks again for the reward from the leader of 'Full Solution'!
　　Even if I don't sleep tonight, I have to do another big chapter!
　　Later, try to release it before twelve o'clock!

　　No more nonsense, continue to hold back the code words!
