"All ready?"
Vincent's voice came from the front of the transporter.
Jack glanced at the newly fixed parts of the prosthetic King Kong in the car and nodded, "All installed!"
A smile appeared on Vincent's face, and then he stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the gate.
At this time, Lucy and Qiwei had already taken over the gate and the modified car at the door.
When Vincent drove towards the gate, the road was smooth and he effortlessly rushed onto the avenue and drove off into the distance.
At the same time, the hovercraft that came to support seemed to have received some information and suddenly increased its speed.
On the mound, the intelligent tracking screen in front of David captured the hovercraft, so he decisively pulled the trigger.
"call out--"
The black intelligent tracking missile was fired instantly, leaving a white trail and accurately hitting the hovercraft.
"boom!"
The hovercraft exploded into a ball of fire, and then turned into seven or eight smaller balls of fire, falling in all directions.
Seeing this scene, Lucy, who was still deleting traces of the base network, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at David on the mound with shock and anger.
"David, what are you doing?!"
David glanced at her and whispered, "Cover the boss."
Hearing this, the driver Falco and another hacker Qiwei in the car looked at him helplessly.
The other people in the communication channel couldn't help but fall silent, feeling extremely helpless about David's reckless behavior.
Only Vincent himself laughed and exclaimed: "Well done, David!"
Lucy said unhappily, "What's good about that? I could have avoided being discovered by them."
Vincent laughed and said, "You underestimate Arasaka. Don't forget, I used to be in the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department. With the abilities of those people, your position would have been exposed long ago!"
"I was planning to run a little further, hand over the car and the cargo to Mann, and then turn back to support you."
"Now that David has made the decision for me, there's no need to worry about it. Let's just fight them!"
Before he finished speaking, the roar of a car engine was heard in the distance.
Lucy's eyes widened, and without hesitation she leaned out of the window and pulled David into the car.
Falco started the car decisively and drove towards the direction of Vincent and others with the roar of the engine.
Lucy said unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that it was exposed?"
Vincent smiled and said, "I'm just guessing. I can't be sure. What's more, with the shot David fired, it doesn't matter whether they were exposed before. What's important is to kill them quickly and get the goods..."
Having said this, Vincent suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something.
He opened the map and checked the delivery location sent to him by the client, and found that the place was not far away. It was located at the solar power station at the junction of southern Saint Domingo and northern Badlands.
This is a bit strange...how come it is so close?
According to his experience, for a mission of this level, such as stealing company secrets, the delivery location must either be the enemy's territory or a remote area with no human habitation.
Although the solar power station is located in a remote location, it is the boundary between Saint Domingo and the Bad Land.
There are quite a few vehicles coming and going on weekdays...Aren't they afraid of being discovered?
The more Vincent thought about it, the more he felt something was fishy, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the delivery point was set up a bit hastily.
After a little thought, Vincent changed his words and said, "Wait, I changed my mind!"
"Everyone turn around and take the Arasaka support convoy to the delivery point!"
Mann was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Boss, bringing trouble to the client is not our style, right?"
Vincent glanced at him and said, "It wasn't the case before, but this time the situation is special."
Jack knew him best and immediately asked, "Is there something wrong with the client?"
The handsome face with dark red eyes flashed through Vincent's mind, and then he shook his head.
"Whether he is really capable or is he deceiving us, we will know when we go there!"
"At worst, we can fight at the delivery point, which is also a way to show off our muscles..."
…
…
On the Badlands highway, two armored vehicles, one large and one small, were speeding at high speed.
At the limit of their vision behind them, a whole team of vehicles with Arasaka logos printed on their bodies were biting their tails.
Soon, the armored vehicle in the front arrived at the delivery point, braked in front of the solar power station, and stopped in front of the power station with a tailspin.
There, a young man in a white suit was leaning against a silver sports car, looking at the armored vehicle in front of him with a slightly raised brow.
The car door opened and Vincent jumped out. His eyes swept across the empty street and finally fell on Zuo Yu.
"…Just you?"
"yes."
Zuo Yu walked over with a smile, waved to everyone in the carriage, then looked at Vincent and asked, "Have you received the goods?"
“…Got it.”
Vincent looked at him strangely: "But isn't it a bit hasty for you to just come here to pick up the goods?"
Zuo Yu was surprised and asked, "Why, do you want to rob your fellow thieves?"
"Of course not!" Vincent said angrily, "You actually doubt my professional ethics!"
"...Okay, mine."
Zuo Yu twitched his lips, glanced at the convoy and smoke at the end of the road, and said noncommittally: "But I really didn't expect that the famous V in Night City would come here with a group of tails to deliver the goods!"
“…”
Vincent's face froze, then he rolled his eyes and raised his hand and said, "Guys, get ready to fight!"
All team members got out of the vehicles, each carrying their equipment, using the armored vehicles as cover, preparing for a battle with the rear.
Vincent dragged Zuo Yu to hide behind the armored vehicle, drew his pistol and thermal samurai sword, and looked at the approaching Arasaka convoy.
When he retracted his head, Vincent accidentally caught a glimpse of Zuo Yu's interested dark red eyes.
He frowned, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but asked, "Why did you set the delivery point here?"
Zuo Yu glanced at him and saw that his eyes looked a little serious. He immediately realized that he might have made up something in his mind.
So Zuo Yu said with some amusement: "I don't know what you are thinking, but you must be wrong - this delivery location has no deep meaning, I just picked it randomly on the map."
"Just picked randomly?!"
Vincent's eyes widened. "Cyborg is one of Arasaka's highest-level experimental implants. You picked a random delivery point for such an important thing. You—"
Before he finished speaking, Vincent seemed to realize something and looked at Zuo Yu with a frown.
"Wait, you don't care about Cyborg?"
Zuo Yu smiled in response.
Vincent frowned and said, "Then why did you ask us to take this thing for you by name?"
Of course I want to see the famous V up close!
Zuo Yu said as a matter of course.
However, he certainly couldn't say such things directly before the deadline.
After a little thought, Zuo Yu smiled and said, "The cargo is not important. What's important is to announce our arrival to Arasaka."
As he spoke, Zuo Yu walked out from behind the armored vehicle.
When V's team members saw this scene, their eyes widened.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
"Boss, pull him back!"
Anxious voices continued to be heard in the communication channel.
Vincent looked at Zuo Yu's back with a frown, ignoring the voice coming from the channel.
Due to the spiritual attributes enhanced by the system, his perception has become quite magical, and now he can even inexplicably sense the danger in the dark.
When Zuo Yu said that, something seemed to have changed. Vincent's heart suddenly became extremely heavy, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his heart...
Looking at the approaching Arasaka convoy in front, Zuo Yu whispered: "Kill them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened.
Everyone, including Vincent, suddenly raised their heads and stared at the sky.
A black sci-fi fighter plane suddenly appeared out of thin air and hovered above everyone's heads. Dozens of gaps opened under the fuselage, and countless blue lights emerged from them.
"boom!!"
The next moment, blue light shot out from under the fuselage and instantly hit the Arasaka convoy, razing the area within a hundred meters to the ground.
All of Arasaka's convoys and personnel were torn apart and engulfed by the blue energy, with smoke and flames rising into the sky one after another.
In this context, Zuo Yu turned around and stretched out a hand with a smile towards Vincent, who looked shocked.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
“…”
Vincent came back to his senses and held his hand with a complicated expression.
Zuo Yu smiled and patted his arm, then turned around and walked towards the silver sports car.
Vincent came back to his senses and quickly shouted, "Where's the goods? Don't you want it?"
Zuo Yu turned his back to him and waved: "You can keep the goods. I look forward to our next cooperation!"
Having said that, Zuo Yu got into the car, started the silver sports car, and rode away at a speed that left him a cloud of dust.
At the same time, the black fighter plane hovering in the sky was also covered by a layer of transparent film and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
"It's optical camouflage!"
Lucy blurted out with a serious look on her face.
Jack beside him also frowned and said, "He actually brought a fighter plane to pick up the goods... Who is this Kunlun Group?"
…
…
On the other side, Zuo Yu drove a silver sports car and said to the blue light screen in front of him with a smile: "Next time I give him a task, you guys should come forward. I have only met him once. If I meet him too much, he will show flaws."
"Yes, boss."
The suited woman on the screen answered respectfully, and then asked carefully: "But Boss, when exactly will we invite the God to return to his position?"
Zuo Yu glanced at the time and said softly, "Five days left... Oh, by the way, don't be so hasty when assigning missions next time. Find some local missions in Night City to test his character and qualifications."
"yes!"
