Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 300 62. Arasaka Party
"It's a nice day. I'd like to say that, but it's not a nice day when it's grey and rainy."

Carl stood at the open door of the hovercraft, looking at the drone whistling towards him from a distance. He turned around and complained to his companions in the car, "Fortunately we came here in a hovercraft. Look at the traffic jam of luxury cars below. If we had driven here, we might have been stuck until it rained and we wouldn't have been able to get in."

"Who says it isn't?"

Oliver, who was connected to the hovercraft control and could clearly see the vehicles around Arasaka Tower, said, "Renfield Excalibur, Herrera Outlaw GTS, Chevrolet Thrace 388 Jefferson. Wait, how come cars like Jefferson can appear in the group of cars? I took a quick look just now and thought they were all luxury cars, but there are also these cars."

"The Chevrolet Thrace 388 Jefferson is considered a top luxury car on the street, but it's only used by people in the company who may not be at the top."

Jack said, looking at the drones approaching and beeping, and asked Carl, "Hey, Carl, is this drone scanning going to be okay?"

"No, I've already accepted the commission and have been given the authority. I guess I'm just confirming it now. After all, it's really hard to know who's sitting inside a hovercraft without scanning it first."

Carl opened the car door and allowed the drones hovering around the hovercraft to scan him. After scanning for about twenty seconds and confirming the identities of several people, the drones' red scanning light turned green and then scattered like a swarm of bees, heading towards a new hovercraft at the rear.

"So this is the end?"

V looked at the hovercraft being targeted from behind, and was about to say that this was not unusual, when he saw the red light of the drone scanning from behind flash.

"what?"

To V's astonishment, the three remaining people in the hovercraft looked towards the hovercraft behind them and found that the hovercraft had actually started to flee.

"What type of hovercraft is that?"

Realizing that something had really happened, Carl turned to ask Jack and Oliver, who knew more about the vehicle.

"It's hard to tell, the car seems to have been modified"

As soon as Oliver finished speaking, the group of drones that had been eyeing the hovercraft launched an attack. Under the machine gun fire from both sides, the hit hovercraft seemed to be wearing a new coat of bullets and fire in the sky, and soon the surface began to fall off.

"It's disguised. It looks like the real hovercraft is underneath!"

Oliver watched, and after the outer shell peeled off, he instantly recognized what the hovercraft was:
"Military technology!"

He shouted, "It's the Military Technology Manticore Armored Hovercraft!"

"Armored hovercraft?"

Jack was stunned for a moment: "Why, the people from Militech are openly causing trouble in Arasaka today, isn't this a provocation?"

“It doesn’t have to be someone who uses military technology.”

If it was really a blatant provocation using military technology, then the hawks in Arasaka would be very happy. Carl saw it very clearly. When he knew it was a manticore, he had the relevant information in his mind.

"The Manticore is a hovercraft that NCPD ordered from Militech. It's usually used by the Terrorist Squad. Militech doesn't use it, at least not on the surface. So I suspect that even if this attack was really led by Militech, they can blame it on other people."

"for example?"

"The ignorant gang members of the Sixth Street Gang." Carl answered Jack's words. The word Sixth Street Gang made Oliver, who was controlling the hovercraft, narrow his eyes slightly: "My father never told me about this."

"Will Cannon's people?"

Because of Oliver's relationship, Carl is not completely ignorant of the current situation of the Sixth Street Gang.

"It is also possible that the military technology side promised Will Cannon some conditions. After all, the assistance they received is almost surpassing the current Six Street Gang leader."

With the huge support of military technology behind him, his status in the Six Street Gang is getting higher and higher, but does this also come at a price?
This is a reasonable guess, but it is just a guess. After all, it might be military technology going crazy.

Seeing that more drones joined in later, and some of them even fired micro missiles, Carl knew the fate of the military-tech Scorpion Tailed Lion.

With the Manticore falling in the fire reflected in his eyes, V muttered to himself: "Now it seems that things like hovercraft are really not safe."

"Prepare to land, don't think too much."

Carl looked back. He didn't know what kind of uproar the Manticore would cause below after it fell, but he knew that he should prepare to carry out the mission.

This mission has already caused a sense of danger before it even begins, so it might not be that easy to accomplish. Although it is impossible for those people with bad intentions to rush into the Arasaka Tower in the tight security environment, it might be possible if we deploy some personnel inside in advance.

The constant struggles within Arasaka in recent days have destroyed too many internal positions and forces. At this time, if we don't send some people to infiltrate and do some tricks, then other companies may not have to operate.

Arasaka is like a territory with three lions that are connected by blood but are fighting with each other. While the lions are fighting, there are tigers and hyenas watching nearby, ready to stretch out their claws and grab their own share of the meal in this territory.

The hovercraft approached Arasaka Tower and landed near the middle following the guidance.

"Which floor is this, the 40th or the 30th?"

Jack, who was visiting Arasaka Tower for the first time, was somewhat excited as he saw the tower approaching. Carl, who had been here once, looked calm and experienced. He said:

"Well, I don't know."

"I don't know why you pretend to know and act so great!"

Oliver complained as he disconnected and handed over to smart control.

"I've only been here once, not visiting my own backyard. Do you think I'm introducing my home?"

Karl said, pointing to the distance: "But there is indeed someone who is the boss of this place waiting to receive us over there."

The three of them looked in the direction of Carl's finger and found that the person standing there looked particularly familiar, so they took a closer look as the hovercraft got closer.

It was Mr. Kenichi Shiro with a gloomy face.
