As the car drove on, Delaman chose a less crowded road and entered the Night City ring road, arriving at 428 Charter Hill after a series of green lights.

This is a large, silver-white villa nestled against a mountain. There are no signs visible on the villa, and the walls have a futuristic feel.

The villa's exterior walls were covered in greenery, and the yard featured gravel paths and neatly manicured lawns. As the car approached, a passage opened up beneath the lawn, and two mechanical dogs emerged.

The mechanical dog quickly ran over and, through the openwork door, used its head-mounted scanning device to lock onto the two people who stepped out of the car.

After a period of recognition, a blue light lit up on the top of the mechanical dog's head, and it crouched down on either side of the doorway.

"Wow, this little thing is really something!" The Taoist priest got off the car and immediately took a liking to the mechanical dog. Noticing the blue light shining from the mechanical dog's head, he strode over and squatted down in front of the door to examine it closely.

Lin Feng closed the car door and glanced at the villa. He also took a liking to these mechanical dogs, which could play an extraordinary role whether carrying heavy weapons or explosives.

If some intelligent control systems are implanted and some tactics are programmed, several robotic dogs are enough to form firepower suppression and tactical deterrence.

Moreover, these robotic dogs can also climb walls stealthily and fight regardless of terrain.

Lin Feng immediately thought of the mechanical dog with the buzz cut that appeared in the game. If he got a few more, he could sweep away the gangs on the street.

At that moment, the mechanical dog's eyes lit up, and it spoke Miriam Knight's voice: "Come in."

The villa's main gate opened to both sides, and the Taoist priest reached out and slapped the mechanical dog's steel head. He circled the dog a few times, seemingly contemplating simply taking it away.

As Lin Feng walked toward the gate, a mechanical dog immediately jumped up and ran ahead of him, leading the way.

Following the robotic dog, they crossed the lawn and walked to one side of the villa, stopping in front of a thick wall.

Creak... The wall opened to the left and right, revealing a passage leading underground.

One by one, cool lights gradually illuminated the passageway, extending downwards into the ground.

"This is the company's private base; Arasaka has no way of finding this place."

Miriam Knight's voice continued from the mechanical dog: "These past few days, one of Arasaka's associates has taken control of the Mox Gang, seized the Liz Bar, and it's said that the Tiger Claw Gang is now under his command."

Lin Feng followed closely behind the robotic dog: "I need his information."

"No one knows anything about him. Arasaka's hackers erased all records. Only a few people managed to photograph his shadow."

A holographic projection shot out from the mechanical dog's eyes, and a shadow marked with its approximate height appeared under the neon lights.

"2.3 meters?" The Taoist priest craned his neck to look over.

"Do you have any general analysis information, or data on the remnants of the battle?" Lin Feng didn't believe that Arasaka would be so kind, unless there was a deeper deal between them.

Miriam Knight switched to the scan traces left over from the battle. As they walked along, they finished reviewing the projected data, and the mechanical dog led them to a steel gate.

The door opened automatically, and bright lights immediately shone in, dispelling the chill of the passageway.

Crackling footsteps echoed.

At first glance, behind the gate stood a row of security guards resembling a terrorist mobile unit. They wore light blue ceramic armor, concealed combat masks, and carried weapons that were versions never seen in the game.

Looking further back, they saw dozens of mechanical dogs and robots rarely seen in Night City.

There were roughly two companies, each with a hundred robots on the left and right, forming two square formations. When Lin Feng cast his gaze over, the robots, which had been silent, all straightened up and gripped their weapons tightly.

An invisible pressure arose in his heart. Lin Feng suppressed the urge to swallow and walked inside.

At this moment, Miriam Knight controlled the mechanical dog to leave, and a robot put down its weapon, broke away from the group, and walked out from the back to the front of the group.

The robot's eyes lit up with blue light, and after a slight pause in its neck, its mechanical body gained some human-like details. It twisted its waist and turned towards Lin Feng, continuing to walk towards him.

"He has offered a reward for your information."

"In the Rebirth Bar, there's a ton of gold on the bounty for you, displayed on the bar counter at the entrance."

Afterlife, bounties, gold...

A glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, which finally settled on the few support personnel who were checking the equipment.

Seemingly sensing the sudden gaze, the support staff all had a bad feeling.

Lin Feng, who appeared quite composed, took a step towards them and said loudly, "Parasitic beasts are parasites that emerged in the biosphere to protect the ecological balance after the atmosphere was severely polluted. Their main purpose... is to eliminate humans."

Miriam Knight's robot followed, and an invisible command instructed the support staff to retreat, making way for Lin Feng.

"These creatures primarily parasitize the brains of other organisms. Once parasitized, they absorb memories by devouring human brains, gradually consuming human heads within hours to achieve perfect disguise." Lin Feng picked up a small smart pistol, and as he pulled out the magazine, the voice echoing throughout the base paused for a second.

"They look like humans on the outside, but they are completely different inside; they have no bones and no organs."

"These near-perfect mimicry cells can disguise themselves as any human in normal conditions, and in combat conditions, they split off into long, thin tentacles that resemble blades."

"Because they cannot eat normally, they can only survive by killing and constantly drawing blood."

As Lin Feng spoke, he turned around and saw that all the security guards who were on high alert were frozen in place. Even the robot next to him seemed to have forgotten to operate, and its blue eyes had dimmed.

"but..."

His voice brought these people back to reality; they were clearly people who had seen the video of the participant's fight.

"Humans will always find a way."

"Research has shown that the biological cells of parasites can combine with those of humans to create powerful hybrid organisms..."

The group, who had just recovered, were gripped by several terrifying words, and even the usually composed Miriam Knight couldn't help but tremble a few times.

Just then, the Taoist priest suddenly approached the table, slammed his hands together, and threw a writhing piece of flesh onto the table, scattering gun parts all over the floor: "Yes, that's it!"

Uh... Lin Feng looked at the flesh and blood that twitched a few times in front of him and swallowed hard the saliva that had been stuck in his throat since he entered the room.

He had hidden a small piece of flesh in his spatial ring. After the TNT explosion, a small piece flew out, and he immediately had Hong Linggui collect it.

At this moment, not only him, but also Miriam Knight, who had been watching, was suddenly awakened. The others also quickly regained their composure from the chaos and looked at the flesh and blood that was still writhing strangely on the table.

"I'm laying my cards on the table now. Since you already know, I'll just say it directly: the future of humanity is in your hands. Whether you protect the world or destroy it, it's all up to you."

"As for how it will end, this humble Taoist priest is powerless to change it."

The Taoist priest glanced at Lin Feng with feigned nonchalance, grabbed a long spear, raised his arm high, and slammed it down on the piece of parasitic beast flesh.

"Zzzzz!!"

A distorted sound emerged from the flesh and blood, and in the finer details, small blades made of flesh and blood could be seen, quickly cutting marks on the spear in the Taoist's hand.

With such tenacious vitality, it's no wonder that even tNt couldn't kill him.

"Time is running out. The parasitic cells will die quickly after leaving the body..." Lin Feng silently put down his pistol and said in a low voice, seemingly fearful, "They are the new top of the food chain."

The magic of that word was like a black hole, controlling Miriam Knight for a long time until she ordered someone to quickly remove the flesh and blood in front of her, at which point the somber atmosphere around her eased slightly.

Lin Feng secretly gave the Taoist a knowing wink.

Parasites die quickly after leaving the body, but they remain stationary inside the spatial ring, making it very easy to store them.

He originally thought that even if the Night Corporation could obtain the samples, they might not have enough time to find the right research direction, so he pointed out some weaknesses of the parasites and then provided some samples.

But now that there is such a large sample as the Four Treasures, although his plans have changed, he can now talk more openly.

"Hey!"

Upon noticing this, the Taoist priest who was playing with the gun suddenly straightened up and gave a smug look.
