Chapter 260

Ordinary employees in the corridor looked terrified.

The Arasaka soldiers in red and black uniforms passed by them quickly.

Also running in the corridor in a hurry were people from the Counterintelligence Department.

Although they all bowed their heads and remained silent, judging from the luster of their artificial eyes, they were all in contact with someone or some people.

"What a joke, NC-E01 base hasn't been contacted yet!?"

"What? There are reporters going to interview at this time?"

"Give them a warning and tell them to go back!"

"Don't listen? Then kill them all! If you dare to let one go, I'll fuck you all and sink you rubbish into the sea!"

It can be seen that the situation is unexpectedly serious.

That is, when the internal atmosphere was caught in this situation, "Fujioka Kaoru" strode towards the direction of the meeting room accompanied by two tall and strong bodyguards with white paint all over their faces.

The two bodyguards used rough methods to push the person who was blocking the way to the side and cleared the way for him.

"Sorry, I'm late."

He took off his sunglasses and walked into the door of the conference room. Although he said so, there was no apology in his tone.

You can see that there is a long table in the middle of the wide room, with only a few seats on it, and some of them are already prepared.

He is not the first to come, but not the last.

"No, you come at the right time, Mr. Fujioka."

The speaker is Arthur Jenkins, the highest person in charge of Arasaka's counterintelligence department in Night City.

He is the initiator and host of this meeting.

Although he is also a senior official, as he was sent from the Tokyo headquarters and is an authentic Japanese, Fujioka Kaoru's status is naturally higher than others.

But let's get back to the point.

The fact that the counterintelligence department convened a meeting is enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

"What's going on, Jenkins? On the way here, people everywhere talked about the NC-E01 base. What happened there?"

After Fujioka Kaoru took a seat, one of them seemed to be a little impatient.

Jenkins looked around and nodded, "Okay, it seems that most people have come, and there is no time to wait for the remaining ones."

At this time, the faces of those who did not come could not be taken care of.

A map of Night City was projected on the long table, and then Jenkins spoke concisely:

"As you heard on the way, just fifteen minutes ago, we suddenly lost contact with the military base in the east of Night City."

"Even the support team sent to investigate was declared dead."

"At the same time, due to the strong electromagnetic interference, the cameras over there were useless, so it was difficult for us to figure out what happened for a while."

As the bad news came out one after another, the faces of the people present became extremely ugly.

"The bastards from Military Technology are here?"

This is the most likely and the worst option.

There are not many forces that dare to sneak attack the Arasaka army in this place, and they have also successfully sneak attacked.

Military Technology is one of them.

But if this is true, then the things behind this matter are a bit bad.

——The fifth corporate war.

The moment they realized this, the expressions of the people sitting there were obviously extremely bad.

After all, for them, if a war really broke out, Night City, a city on the border, would not be safe at all.

Fortunately, Jenkins waved his hand and denied it: "It seems that it has nothing to do with military technology at present... At least it should have nothing to do with the base."

He left some room for himself and did not dare to say it too firmly.

Then, several photos appeared on the holographic projection in front of everyone.

"According to the clues obtained by our counterintelligence department, a meteorite fell and hit the top of the NC-E01 base."

"Meteorite?"

In response, the others showed puzzled expressions on their faces, and some even laughed out loud.

Too ridiculous.

This is more ridiculous than the military technology going to war against them in all directions.

Let alone whether such a coincidence really happened, even if it really happened, this is not the era hundreds or thousands of years ago when humans had to say that a meteorite falling was an ominous sign.

Do you really think that cannons and missiles are just for show?

Even if the NC-E01 base is so unlucky that it happens to be at the landing site of the meteorite.

But with the radar and interceptor missiles inside, it is enough to blow it up before the meteorite lands.

So it is reasonable that this kind of thing should not happen at all.

——But on the other hand, Jenkins should not be able to gamble his future for an obviously lie...

In short, the truth of this matter is still to be discussed.

"Then what about the support team that lost contact? It can't be that two meteorites hit it together?"

"What else can it be? It's probably that the military technology side is adding insult to injury."

"Hehe, who else can it be besides them? Biotechnology has been very resentful of them these two days."

Everyone sitting there criticized the military technology one after another, and even Fujioka Kaoru, who was controlled by Lin Qiao, joined in from time to time to add fuel to the fire.

But Jenkins shook his head: "I'm sorry, everyone, this may not be military technology."

After he finished speaking, the scene instantly became quiet.

And he also released a recording at the right time.

Due to electromagnetic interference, the recording is mixed with a lot of noise. Even after emergency repair, there are still many distortions.

[...This is Lemur 11, calling the headquarters...We have encountered a monster...Call again, please support immediately...We have encountered a monster... Ah ah ah ah ah! 】

With screams and explosions, the recording ended.

"What's going on?" a senior executive asked with a frown.

"Support? Monster? Shouldn't it be military technology?"

Or did they create some strange weapon?

That's really not good news.

Arasaka's new prosthetic body is still under research. It would be terrible if military technology really takes the lead.

"I'm afraid no one will know this until the investigation is clear, and this is why everyone is called here."

"The second team has already set off on the float vehicle, and subsequent heavy-equipped troops will also gather and rush to the NC-E01 base."

The content displayed by the holographic projection changed and turned into a desert area shot from a high altitude.

——That’s the picture taken by Arasaka’s drone.

There are also several floating vehicles and attack drones on the edge of the screen.

And the thick smoke still billowing in the distance is naturally the NC-E01 base that was blown up by the meteorite.

But following Jenkins' order, the drone zoomed in - in the center of the crater, a box-like object was placed there.

At the same time, several humanoid monsters made entirely of metal were wandering around unconsciously.

-That's the Slugger.

After discovering that someone was approaching, the Flying Slammer immediately launched an attack on the aerial vehicle.

Chapter 321 The first encounter between Arasaka and the Slammer

Seeing that the situation was not right, several drones that had no attack power and were only responsible for reconnaissance and photography for Arasaka's senior management retreated immediately.

When they saw several flying attackers attacking towards them, the drivers of the four aerial vehicles also made a quick decision.

Operating the heavy machine gun turret on the floating vehicle, he aimed at the flying attacker——

Da da da da da!

The muzzle of the gun spewed tongues of flame at high speed, and the traces of tracer bullets were clearly visible in the air.

For humans, this is a terrifying power that turns a whole piece of flesh into a pulp of flesh and blood whenever it is brushed aside.

And for the flying slammer, which has relatively weak armor and is not good at defense, it also poses a certain threat...

The premise is that the hit is successful.

Several flying slammers flapped their metal wings, and their speed suddenly increased to a new level.

With extremely dexterous and changeable flight trajectories, it avoided most of the bullets.

The few remaining metal bullets that fell on them were not painful at all - of course, after all, their pain had been eliminated.

Sparks splashed from the gorgeous metal body, but they couldn't even change its flight path.

It was clear that there was still a long distance away from the floating car before, but it rushed into the face of the floating car at an extremely fast speed.

At the moment of approach, a certain flash of light flashed from the wings of the flying slammer.

Zhila!

The thick armor of the military aerial vehicle was torn apart instantly, revealing the armed personnel inside the vehicle.

In fact, if the driver hadn't reacted quickly and evaded to the side in time, the entire aerial vehicle would have been cut open.

"Damn it! What the hell is that!?"

The senior executives in the conference room of Arasaka Tower frowned involuntarily when they looked at the picture displayed on the holographic image.

When did military technology create such a thing?

Although it seems that the metal monster currently only has high mobility and melee capabilities...but this is just a manifestation.

However, the combat power displayed is already quite powerful.

Not to mention there are several other different types down there.

If we can lower the manufacturing price and then mass-produce...

Be good, I'm afraid you're not going to heaven.

The people present were obviously not fools, and they had many things in their minds in just a few seconds.

Especially if this kind of mechanical monster is put into the market, then the situation may be extremely unfavorable to Arasaka.

"Jenkins, tell the heavy troops to speed up, and tell them that they must capture at least one of them and come back completely."

Fujioka Kaoru spoke.

And he also expressed the sentiments of the vast majority of people here... that one may not be enough.

Return your attention to the holographic projection.

Although the driver had tried his best to avoid it before, the situation was still not optimistic for them.

In terms of agility and speed, there are too many floating vehicles and flying slammers.

Moreover, in the previous confrontation, although they were able to avoid being killed on the spot, the propellers of two aerostats were still damaged.

If the driver hadn't been an experienced driver, it would have been difficult to maintain balance right now.

too close!

This distance is too close!

Looking at the flying attackers who turned around and planned to attack again, the pilots of several aerial vehicles only felt a numbness in their scalps.
