Finally got off work.

Yes, even in the cyberpunk world and chaebol universe, there is a definition of "off duty".

After all, the compulsory work system of five days of paid vacation per year, seven days of work per week, and twelve hours of work per day is already pushing the physiological limits of laboring social animals.

Although there are some companies and factories that work two shifts, one during the day and one at night. Of course, this is mainly to ensure that the equipment continues to produce without stopping, but there is no overtime pay.

And if everyone lives in the company, who will the house be sold to? Can the real estate business still be done? And if you live in the company, will you pay the rent? Get off work! Leave it to me to get off work! Who cares how many hours you commute, get out of get off work!< /p>

So Li Pan's first day on the job ended in such a mess.

Crowded on the subway with a group of social animals, Li Pan, like everyone else, stared blankly at the shadow reflected in the car window.

Of course, the pupils of other people's prosthetic eyes were full of colors and they were addicted to watching short videos and playing games on the QVN network. But Li Pan was really staring in the mirror in a daze.

For a moment, he even doubted whether he had traveled through time or not.

I was a salaryman before time travel, and I am still a salaryman after time travel. What if I die in this life, and I will still be a salaryman in the next life? Isn’t this some kind of endless overtime hell in the world... Damn, I’m so scared all of a sudden...

Li Pan didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he quickly capped the Internet connection and used electronic heroin to numb himself.

However, there are too many ways to indulge in virtual networks these days. With the advancement of technology, you can really travel on the Internet, and the virtual world has been constructed so that it is almost indistinguishable from the real world.

Virtual anchors, gamers, online artists, and various other professions can all work online.

And as long as you have money, build an eco-cabin, or live directly in a hotel-style Internet cafe and soak your body in nutrient solution, someone will take care of your body. In a literal sense, you will live in the electronic ocean 'permanently'.

Electronic Ghost.

In fact, Li Pan was a gamer in his previous life. In this life, he has no parents to control him, so he almost fell into the state of being a bit of an electronic ghost.

But QVN is not safe.

Although there is a public security system on the public Internet that monitors everything, there are always people who build illegal deep web servers, and the security system cannot stop you from committing suicide.

Maybe if you make one wrong move and fall into a trap, you will lose everything. Even if you go bankrupt, you may become an electronic zombie controlled by others.

And Li Pan was fooled. When he first traveled to this world, he once wanted to be a game anchor and a professional player after school. It went well at first, and he made a small fortune. But then he was

A professional hacker hacked it. If he hadn't been on the military academy's intranet at the time, the other party wouldn't have dared to go too far, fearing that his life would be lost.

But the game account he was passionate about was stolen, and when he was attacked by a hacker's golem, he was not only disconnected from the public network in an instant, but even directly lost control of his body. He could not see, hear, or touch, as if he was imprisoned.

In a sealed elevator, the helplessness and despair of the infinite fall really scared him.

From then on, Li Pan also had a psychological shadow on those large-scale virtual online games, or the entire QVN deep network area. So now, basically, he only watches public network and shallow TV programs.

Every time he stared at the countless link codes, he felt that behind the bustling colorful lights and shadows, there were malicious hackers hiding, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.

The endless virtual network is like a huge abyss of nothingness. Once you fall into nothingness, you will never be able to climb out.

Sometimes even Li Pan doesn't know whether the electronic abyss is more terrifying or the real hell is more despairing.

He could only escape to the other side when he could no longer hold on one side, and repeatedly jumped on both sides of the cliff.

But these days, ordinary people are in the same situation as him. Crazy is just a thin line.

"Ahhhh——!" "Squeak——!"

The sharp sound of brakes was so violent that Li Pan woke up from a small movie. He was so excited that he activated the Xingtian combat mode and linked to the security network to prevent hacker attacks and pay attention to the surrounding situation.

It turned out that someone on the platform in front committed suicide by lying on the train. Blood foam gradually came from the cracks in the doors and windows of the subway car, splashing a group of people pink.

Alas, this is an unlucky subway. On the suburban loop line, there are a bunch of drug addicts taking drugs and shit, and on the inner line, there are all kinds of suicides by jumping off the tracks. The ground is always brown, either blood or shit.

As a result, the subway was forced to temporarily suspend service, waiting for maintenance robots to clean out the minced human bones and internal organs.

Li Pan had no choice but to follow the crowd and wait, then found a place to squat down and wipe the blood on his leather shoes.

At this time, a warning from the public safety network popped up in front of his eyes.

‘Regional safety deviation value increased’

Li Pan immediately became alert and reached out to press the safety of the pistol at his waist.

Safety deviation value, although he hates this troublesome setting, he has to admit that sometimes it can save lives.

The security deviation value, as the name suggests, is a security algorithm reference based on the public safety network. The security network is based on the reference comparison of the entire night city, no, the entire public security network monitoring environment in the sky, and records various violent crimes and risk factors, and sets

Baseline specification values ​​for each region.

For example, in urban areas, the safety threshold is very high, in suburban garbage dump industrial areas, the safety threshold is very low, but in the long run it is generally flat.

Once there are external security risks within the region, or the original forces leave, resulting in changes in the regional balance, the coefficient will increase significantly. That is to say, compared with daily data, the deviation will increase greatly.

To put it simply, there is danger.

Then Li Pan saw that among the dense crowd at the subway station, there were four particularly strong and conspicuous men, almost all of whom were 1.9 to 2 meters tall. They got off the subway train one after another with their heads lowered.

Then Li Pan turned his head and saw more than a dozen guys wearing black windbreakers, sunglasses and electronic glasses, who looked like corporate dogs, coming out of various entrances of the subway station, the washrooms, and the emergency exit.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

It's an ambush.

At the same moment, the black man who was the leader of the group of strong men sniffed his nose and roared!

"Nightcrawler!!"

Then Li Pan saw him pull out two submachine guns from under his leather jacket. Damn it, those are not smart weapons!

"Da da da da da da!"

"Pah, pah, pah, pah!"

"Ahhh!"

Alas, after a few blows, I started to fight again. It was really endless. This is the daily life in the Night City...

Li Pan quickly risked his waist and ducked behind a metal trash can to hide. There was a loud bang outside! Two groups of people were shooting at each other, and sonic bombs, flash bombs, and smoke grenades were thrown randomly.

The unlucky office workers screamed and fled in all directions. In a short while, they were swept down by stray bullets, leaving a large area lying on the ground. No one knows how many people died.

Alas, it's tragic. Although those corporate dogs came to set up an ambush, they at least used hacking equipment and smart weapons. Although ordinary people will inevitably be affected by the explosion, the smart bullets have eyes. They will try their best to avoid them.

I want you to stay away.

But those big men used illegally modified firearms, and the bullets were so powerful that they smashed the subway station into pieces, almost like a forced demolition. It seems that the Dead Man Lottery will be doubled again tonight.
p>

Thinking of this, Li Pan quickly added a bet. After all, if you want to achieve wealth freedom and class promotion these days, buying lottery tickets is probably the only reliable way.

After spending five yuan to buy a lottery ticket and a dream, Li Pan hid behind the trash can and waited for these two groups to finish playing.

Don't look forward to the NCPA. The big guy just called the "Night Walkers". This is the security force directly under the Ye Group. They are gangsters and agents per capita. Otherwise, who can openly attack the subway station in the center of the night city? Probably have to wait for a fight.

The police will come in to clean the floor only after this is done.

And those strong men were quite outrageous, and they were still resisting. If they were ordinary people, they would have been captured by the company's hackers long ago. But Li Pan took a look and found that these people were attacked by the intelligent machine.

They were covered in blood with bullets, but they still stood still. Those smart bullets actually kept hitting their bones. On the contrary, they aroused the murderous intent of the opponent. They howled and raised their guns to fight back and fired indiscriminately. They even formed a tactical team and fired in all directions.

He shot to suppress the firepower of the ambushers, tried to retreat to the subway, and escaped through the subway.

Even if they were beaten to death by such random shots, they could still fight their way out. Li Pan couldn't help but wonder which family of these people were pure biochemical modified people, but they probably weren't Akainu. After all, if they were Akainu, the three-headed dog would have already taken Wen.

The pressure bomb was thrown in.

Just as those strong men suppressed the firepower of the Night Walkers and were about to take the opportunity to retreat as a group, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the smoke.

Under Xing Tian's combat dynamic vision, Li Pan could barely see clearly that this was a female... nightwalker wearing a black leather trench coat, short black hair, and holding two guns.

And unsurprisingly, from the other party's delicate appearance, blue-gleaming pupils, and the extreme acceleration that seems to be as if the central nervous system has been strengthened, almost flying across the ground, as well as the name and dress of this night traveler, it all shows that

An indisputable fact.

These are the specialty products of the Ye Group, fighting vampires.

Of course, the people of the Ye clan prefer to call themselves vampires. It is said that on their earth, due to a plague, the indigenous population mutated, so the Ye clan developed a special vampire serum and vampire bones, which became the group's specialty products.
p>

These vampires basically have remarkable special features in the legend, such as immortality, eternal youth, stunning beauty, taller, faster and stronger, blood-sucking healing, etc. The Ye clan even provides low-end and cheap products, increasing

In order to maintain the character's fear of sunlight, it also saves costs.

So in general, these night crawlers are products of roughly level five or level six technology, and their performance is worthy of the reputation of night warriors.

At this moment, before Li Pan's eyes, the female nightwalker was jumping around, like a butterfly dancing, dodging the cross fire of several strong men, getting close all the way, rushing into the crowd, jumping up and locking her legs around her neck,

He hit the head and eyeballs with both guns in his hands, beating the two strong men into gourds of blood. At the same time, he shuttled through the crowd like black snakes, pulled out the long needle-like dagger from his waist, and stabbed another one to death.

After three kills by himself, the remaining strong man found an opportunity, shot him in the body, kicked him, flew over Li Pan's head, smashed the wall bricks, and landed in front of Li Pan.

The two looked at each other and ducked behind the trash can.

The next moment, the remaining strong man's eyes were bloodshot, "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" He started shooting, causing the trash can to jingle and sparks to jump.

"What the hell! What the hell are you doing!"

Just when Li Pan was about to draw his gun and fight back, the female vampire grabbed his hand, snatched away his ancestral heirloom all night long, and bit the back of his hand to suck blood like crazy!

"Nima!"
