Chapter 170 It’s time to reward

"Her injuries are indeed a bit serious, but her vitality is very strong."

"The wounds have basically been treated. Fortunately, there are no fatal injuries. After the wounds were sutured, there will be no serious problems."

"But with the way things are now, it's inevitable that we'll have to install a new food guy."

Lao Wei took out a new mechanical prosthetic arm from the storage cabinet, sat back on the operating table, and prepared to start the prosthetic implantation surgery.

at this time.

V was lying on the operating table chair, in a coma. He could occasionally squint his eyes, but couldn't say anything.

After Lao Wei's treatment, all the wounds on his body were cleaned and hemostatic and anti-inflammatory bandages were applied.

"Her name is V. We were on a mission in Taiping Prefecture. We didn't expect Adam Heavy Hammer to come. I guess he was accidentally injured."

"When she wakes up, the treatment costs will be charged to my account."

Tang Yu looked at V lying on the operating table and briefly explained the situation to Lao Wei.

The current V has not yet grown up, so when faced with Adam's hammer falling from the sky, he was almost knocked down on the spot.

This time V was in deep danger and went to Badi Hotel to steal server data, mainly because of the task he arranged.

No one could have imagined that something that was thought to be simple at first would become so complicated due to the appearance of Adam's Hammer.

This shows that Arasaka Yorinobu attaches great importance to the affairs of his father Saburo Arasaka, and even sent personal bodyguards to the scene.

The reason why Tang Yu was willing to give the subnet Poseidon data to Adam Hammer was that in addition to giving himself a reason to deal with Saburo Arasaka in advance, he also had to pass the blame to Yorinobu Arasaka.

Otherwise, the first time I run an errand for Arasaka Saburo will be a mess, and it will not be that easy to continue to hang out in Arasaka.

A piece of damaged subnet Poseidon data is of little significance to Tang Yu. The focus is on the activities of the Voodoo Gang in cyberspace.

Lao Wei wore black-rimmed glasses and carefully operated the surgical auxiliary finger cot to connect the mechanical prosthetic forearm to V's left hand.

When he heard that Tang Yu had paid for this girl's bill again, he couldn't help but said, "Well, it seems that this is also your good friend."

"The guy smoking at the door, why didn't he come in with you?" Lao Wei was referring to Lucy, who was standing outside the clinic smoking alone.

Tang Yu glanced at the time and said, "I'll explain to you later. I'm in a hurry now and there's something going on at the company."

Lao Wei nodded, his eyes still fixed on the operation, as he gradually connected the biological nerves of V's arm to the prosthetic limb.

"Then you go and do your work first. Just leave this to me. Once the operation is completed, the child will be able to revive with full blood."

With Lao Wei's guarantee, Tang Yu was naturally relieved. He glanced at V who was lying on the chair undergoing surgery, then turned and left the prosthetic clinic.

At the entrance of Laowei Prosthetic Clinic, Lucy was leaning against the wall, holding half a long cigarette in her mouth.

Tang Yu came to the side, also leaning against the wall.

When Lucy saw Tang Yu coming out, she held the cigarette between her fingers and took it out. A puff of white smoke, like a puff of mist, exhaled from her mouth and nose.

She handed the cigarette in her hand to Tang Yu beside her and asked calmly: "How's it going?"

Tang Yu took the cigarette familiarly, flicked the ashes on the cigarette end, and then took a puff of smoke with the cigarette holder.

White smoke poured into his heart and lungs, and the slightly bitter and pungent smell was familiar yet unfamiliar to him.

Familiar because of the smell of cigarettes, unfamiliar because it was his 'first time' smoking.

Tang Yu was not as eager as before, spitting out the pungency in his lungs from his nose, and explained: "V's injuries have been treated, and there is no serious problem. He will recover after the arm prosthesis implantation surgery.

"

Lucy continued: "It seems she has good luck too."

Although Lucy didn't know V, it could be seen from Tang Yu's actions and attitude at the time that the two seemed to have a close relationship.

At that time, the scene was in ruins. Almost all members of the Animal Gang Savage King and Voodoo Gang were wiped out, and V almost confessed to being there on the spot.

If the place where Adam's hammer fell was not far away from the Poseidon server, otherwise V would not have simply lost an arm.

In short.

Living in Night City requires a bit of luck.

However, Lucy also guessed that Adam Hammer came here for the Poseidon data of the subnet, and would not blindly choose to destroy the location of the server.

"Her memory storage chip still retains the data of Subnet Poseidon. What are you going to do with it?"

Tang Yu put out the cigarette butt, exhaled the last puff of smoke, and murmured: "Let's wait and see, wait until I go back to Arasaka Tower to check the situation."

Lucy nodded, knowing that Tang Yu had other plans.

Now that the Voodoo Gang has been wiped out, the Poseidon subnet's data has become unattended. If an ambitious person covets it, they can get this set of data and rebuild an independent subnet to replicate Poseidon's network miracle.

Having an independent and hidden subnet like Poseidon is like having an oasis in the desert, not to mention that Poseidon also has channels for the Voodoo Gang to enter and exit the Black Wall, as well as a large number of information secrets about outside the Black Wall.

Every byte of data is a treasure for cyber hackers.

"I'll keep an eye on her." Lucy said in a deep voice.

Tang Yu nodded slightly. After experiencing this incident, Lucy had regained semi-freedom.

Although I have no choice but to join the network surveillance, it is better than being tracked by Arasaka Company all the time.

"When the recruitment notice from the network supervision department arrives, I will send you there if I have time. After all, you are not familiar with the company's affairs."

"There are still some tails to deal with. I have to go back to the company."

Lucy listened in silence.

She knew that Tang Yu was holding an umbrella for herself. As long as Tang Yu was still working in Arasaka for a day, the network supervisor would not be stupid and arrange for her to work in other places and conduct some life-risking deep dive missions.

To some extent.

The content of her work in network monitoring depends entirely on Tang Yu's existence.

Regarding this.

Lucy inexplicably felt the impermanence and paradox of life. In the past, she was hunted by people from the Arasaka Company and had no way to escape, so she hid in the Night City.

Now she has been taken care of by the top management of Arasaka Company, and she has been able to escape from Arasaka's status as a fugitive deep dive hacker and become a network surveillance agent.

She felt that she had never been free, but now she seemed to have it. At least she could roam the streets of Night City without fear of the word "Arasaka".

Tang Yu fulfilled every word he said. Whether it was diving deep into cyberspace under his watch or convincing Mosley to join network surveillance, Tang Yu was firmly pushing for every step.

Lucy seemed to have something to say, but she hesitated.

Tang Yu stood up and stepped onto the steps, leaving a soft message.

"Let's go, see you later."

Lucy looked up at his back, walked up the steps step by step, and finally disappeared from the sight of the stairs.

Arasaka Tower.

Michiko Arasaka stood in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside the window as usual.

She lowered her head and looked downstairs. The circular company square was filled with traffic and an endless stream of pedestrians.

She has seen this scene too many times, and she has been familiar with this scene since she first walked into this office.

at this time.

A prompt appeared outside the office door to the secretary requesting an interview.

It didn't take long.

The secretary then walked in, came to Xiao Michiko's side, and reported the report respectfully.

"Director Michiko."

"Board members have arrived, preparations for the meeting have been completed, and the meeting can be held at any time."

Little Michiko made no move, still looking out the window, and asked: "How is the situation over there with Tang Yu?"

The secretary has contacted the Counterintelligence Department, communicated with Tang Yu in advance, and received relevant information.

"Mr. Tang teamed up with network monitoring and successfully found the address of the Poseidon server of the Voodoo Gang subnet."

"But Adam Hammer suddenly appeared and directly destroyed the Voodoo Gang's base, severely injuring the Animal Gang and the top leaders of the Voodoo Gang."

"It is reported that Adam Hammer should be cooperating with Deputy Director of Counterintelligence Kate's actions."

"Kate has resigned and was killed by Adam's hammer."

Michiko was a little surprised when she heard this result. She never thought that Arasaka Yorinobu would really take action.

However, her uncle has always acted boldly, and he would not show a good face even in front of Saburo Arasaka.

Although she doesn't like Arasaka Yorinobu, she still retains some admiration for him. I'm afraid there won't be another person in the world who dares to speak forcefully in front of her grandfather, Arasaka Saburo.

However, Saburo Arasaka was very tolerant of Yorinobu's various behaviors and rarely criticized his rebellious behavior. Yoribuchi expressed his willingness to return to Arasaka Company and received almost no punishment. Instead, he was able to continue to stay in Kyoto as the heir.

Perhaps in Arasaka Yorinobu's view, this is just a form of house arrest in a different form.

But in the eyes of outsiders, this was Saburo Arasaka's trust and cultivation of Yorinobu. Only blood relatives at the Arasaka Manor in Kyoto could inherit the Arasaka throne in the first place.

Members of the Arasaka family like Michiko who are stationed abroad are obviously not favored by the family.
