In the luxurious hall of Wood Manor, senior executives from major companies gathered here wearing high-end suits.

Holding wine glasses, they gathered together in twos and threes, exchanging information and information they had with each other, chatting and laughing happily.

"This time Arasaka Tower did not choose to access the services provided by the matrix space. Are you planning to build your own server for networking?"

"It's useless to build it yourself. In Night City, even the basic network nodes are built by Ye's Company. If you want to connect to the Internet, you must have Ye's help. Now Ye's Company provides a free server. If you can use it, why not use it. As for the core

The data can be stored offline and locally, not to mention there is a contract agreement, so there is no need to worry about data leakage. If there is a problem, go to Ye's Company."

"I remember that Arasaka initially supported the use of matrix space services. Since the incident at the company plaza, Arasaka has become conservative and cautious. It seems that Arasaka's internal system has been severely damaged and it is easy for loopholes to be exploited. The internal system needs to be rebuilt and repaired.

Once completed, it should reconnect to the matrix space. It is unreasonable that one of the giants of Night City cannot connect to the public network normally."

"Haven't you received the information yet? Tang Yu, who openly resisted Arasaka, has returned to Night City. I heard that he had talked with Arasaka for several rounds, and it seems that he still wants to stay in Arasaka Company and continue to work. He even retains his position."

"No way, he can still work in Arasaka? It's all thanks to him that Arasaka has fallen to this point. The news of returning to the city has long been spread underground, and many senior hunters in the company are watching closely. Waiting

Just go poaching people."

"Who made his performance in the company square so explosive? Arasaka was eager to block all news about him, but how could such a thing be hidden? What I heard is that Saburo Arasaka is critically ill, and there are great differences of opinion within the Arasaka family.

, I will naturally not let go of such a unique talent, and whoever gets him will be able to stabilize Arasaka’s current situation.”

"That's not entirely true. Look, the people present at the scene are all young and unfamiliar faces. Although the company plaza accident implicated many company executives, there is no shortage of people who can stand in for them."

There were heavy lights and shadows, and people mingled with each other. As Miriam Knight slid out in a suspended wheelchair, the sound in the entire hall gradually subsided.

Each battle group that was hit by the impact flew out in all directions, knocking off parts and being unable to continue moving.

Before it collapsed, David jumped up again and landed on another armed aerial vehicle, wreaking havoc. The military-tech armed aerial vehicles crashed one after another.

Everyone angrily wanted to ask for an explanation, but then they shut up obediently.

“Intelligence, technology, convenience, tolerance, security, future, etc., will be the most distinctive labels of this city.”

In a city full of red light, one building still stands alone, still dark and unlit, and that is Arasaka Tower.

moment.

"On behalf of myself, and my late husband Richard Knight, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your support, which has enabled us to work together to achieve today's dream."

Now she wants to take back the city from these people and avenge the company's robbery and the gang's bloody assassination.

Ta-ta-ta.

The drone swarm instantly exploded into sparks one after another, and the first wave of air strikes was resolved.

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall burst into thunderous applause, one wave after another, lasting for a long time.

The sound of the fighting outside had penetrated the ground and reached the basement. Even he could feel a slight vibration, which showed the intensity of the fighting on the ground.

The strong magnetic field suction immediately enveloped the floating transport vehicle, pulling it down and causing it to roll seriously, and then it lost control and fell towards the ground.

Boom! Boom.

Flames shot into the sky, and the violent explosion set off high-temperature waves that broke through the windshields of surrounding vehicles.

After saying that, the old and tired Miriam Knight covered her wrinkled eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Many people began to find that the vehicles they drove began to behave uncontrollably, switching radio stations arbitrarily, changing navigation destinations to Arasaka Tower at will, and even actively turning on autonomous driving mode, accelerating and running rampant.

The door of the armory was wide open, drones took off one after another, and intelligently controlled floating vehicles started autonomously one after another, with lights flashing and began to move out in an orderly manner.

"This has sounded a new alarm for us, reminding us that we need a more harmonious and stable environment that can eradicate all dangers and adverse factors."

The large truck crashed through the guardrail that had just been built, rushed out of the three-story disc, and fell high.

For a time, the entire Arasaka Tower was caught in a hot battle, with red bullets flying everywhere and high-temperature shells exploding one after another, making deafening sounds.

Miriam Knight returned to the backstage waiting room, her tired eyes almost unable to hold up.

Several other company buildings in the Company Square have successfully activated matrix space services, and the office system has basically returned to normal. Only the interior of Arasaka Tower is still being repaired, and many defensive weapons are out of business.

Miriam Knight saw too clearly that the people in the audience were just vampires in human skins. After killing a bunch of them, they would put on another new skin and continue to stand high.

In the sky, the number of military technology armed aerial vehicles increased to six again, and the powerful firepower instantly destroyed the Arasaka aerial vehicle.

"I want to sleep for a while"

"Go ahead, there are more important things waiting for you."

After a while, David tore into pieces the last armed aerial vehicle, and his tall mechanical body jumped into the air.

The group of people in the audience have all been stained with her husband's blood, tarnishing the glory that this city should have.

"Everyone, I am honored to invite you here to witness the launch of Matrix Space and experience this historic moment together."

David did not dare to neglect at all. The enemy might attack from the base or from the air. He deployed most of his troops to guard the base, and some Arasaka security personnel were on duty to guard important elevators and checkpoints inside. He led a small number of elite teams.

Guard the roof of the building to prevent air raids.

"Report to Commander, multiple private aerial vehicles are crashing into Arasaka Tower. Three of them have broken through and entered the building. They are currently on the 82nd, 67th, and 53rd floors."

As the smoke gradually dissipated, David stood up at the center of the fall, and circles of cracks appeared on the ground around him.

Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard from the upper floor of Arasaka Tower.

Tang Yu lay in the long metal box and waited.

The holographic blue figure was like a high-altitude god, overlooking the people in the hall, and his cold voice was devoid of any emotion.

A loud explosion was heard, and the entire Arasaka Tower shook three times. Microtremors were heard on the ground, and black smoke suddenly filled the place.

Immediately afterwards, another car sped out from the three-story disc. This time it rushed harder and further. It hit the ground with sparks after hitting the guardrail. The damaged car body slid forward for dozens of meters and was about to approach Arasaka.

Tower base.

More transport floats arrived above Arasaka Tower, and piles of Kontao robots jumped from mid-air and began to attack the Arasaka elite team wantonly.

The red light lights up company buildings, network nodes everywhere, traffic arteries, and electronic devices.

It has only been less than three minutes since the opponent launched their attack.

Miriam Knight squeezed out a smile on her old face, and slowly looked around at the people in the hall, smiling and applauding everywhere she looked.

At this moment, her old and turbid eyes burst out with gleaming light, and she could not suppress the excitement in her heart. Years of hard planning was about to become a reality.

The company's senior executives looked up, all with a look of wonder on their faces, the shadow of the red city flashing in their pupils.

As the area around the base of Arasaka Tower was filled with vehicles, the sparks from the metal collision finally ignited the alcohol fuel and immediately ignited a raging fire.

The blue holographic figure no longer stayed, floated towards the hall, and appeared in front of everyone again.

This time, he did not choose to jump back to the top of Arasaka Tower, but aimed below the base.

He raised his hands toward the transport vehicle and turned on the magnetic suction again.

He looked at the time and saw that he still had to watch for five minutes!

"Commander! We noticed something unusual. More and more vehicles are piling up at the door. The owners of those vehicles are behaving like cyber lunatics. Please handle it!"

Only when everyone is connected to the great existence and abandons their selfish side can this city and this world truly become beautiful.

They looked puzzled and began to discuss in whispers. Only then did they realize that the problem came from the matrix space they had just accessed.

Gradually.

This crazy move immediately caught David's attention. He stood on the top of the building and stared at the situation below. The situation gradually got out of control. Piles of cars crashed towards Arasaka Tower like crazy, and some hit the base wall.

On the road, some hit the tails of other cars, one after another.

I saw a swarm of drones suddenly floating in the distance in the sky. The wings were whirling and buzzing, and small missiles were dragged out one after another.

"Traffic control systems in various places have resumed normal operation."

"Our company's public network services have returned to normal, and the previously damaged office systems are being repaired."

The red light flourished, turning into lines of light with it as the center point, extending in all directions, constantly filling each network line.

But David's expression did not relax at all, but became more solemn. The enemy's methods were definitely not limited to these.

Suddenly, a large truck that was driving suddenly turned around and rushed towards the direction of Arasaka Tower regardless of the danger of falling from a high altitude.

David suddenly received a request for help from the ground. The door was severely blasted. The Kangtao combat robot broke through the bottom line of defense. The two sides started a fierce confrontation in the hall.

at this time.

These car owners completely ignored the risk of being shot, pushed open the car door and staggered towards Arasaka Tower, their prosthetic eyes flashing a faint blue light.

At Kangtao Intelligent Company, the smart office system responded to the red alert and tried to shut down electronic devices to protect itself, but the control was still taken away by an unknown intrusion program.

Coupled with the big accident in the company square, Tang Yu killed too many well-trained Arasaka warriors. Although the number of manpower has been made up recently, the combat effectiveness is still far behind. In order to make up for the combat effectiveness, many elite warriors were also transferred from the Tiger Claw Gang.

This was one of the few moments when Arasaka Tower was at its weakest.

"Kill all intruders!" David ordered decisively.

He activated the anti-gravity system, stored energy in his huge mechanical legs, and jumped into the air.

"Now, we will take a big step towards becoming smarter, more technological, more convenient, and safer, and initially realize the interconnection of everything in the entire city."

The ethereal voice of the blue figure echoed in the hall, and with a wave of his delicate hand, a full-scale modeled image of Night City was broadcast.
