Chapter 315

In order to be clean and avoid bad influences, Lin Qiao could only wrap a thermos cup shell on the body of his big steel cannon, which was regarded as the last fig leaf.

But let’s get down to business.

In response to Mann's question, Lin Qiao put down the Nebula Coffee in her hand and gave her own answer.

"If I say it's because of trust, will you be happy?"

"...You should use affirmative sentences at this time..."

Dorio sighed, but accepted the statement.

After all, when it comes to finding people to do work, ability and trust are more important than quantity.

"Ask me, what is the goal?"

"Does this count as consent?"

"No, just listen first and then decide - if it doesn't work forget it."

"It's not impossible...well, internal information from biotechnology, and regional R&D director Joanne Kochi."

"..."

Biotechnology…Regional R&D Director…

Then this is really tough!

Everyone present, especially Man Yin and his group, felt numb for a moment.

The biggest lesson that Tanaka's incident taught them was to stay away from things related to the company - especially when the middlemen were still hiding it.

Lin Qiao shouldn't have to search for information like that bastard Faraday...

But he is so disdainful of forcing people!

Chapter 394 The last moment is coming

"By the way, your operation this time will receive full support from the Arasaka Counter-Intelligence Department, and you can call in Arasaka's special service forces and firepower when necessary."

"Just contact Sasha for details. You happen to be familiar with her, and she will also act with you."

In fact, she took the initiative to be the person in charge of this operation.

After hearing that she was going to attack biotechnology, she couldn't wait to punch Joanne Koch to death.

Biotechnology concealed the side effects of painkillers and eventually killed his mother. After enduring it for so long, he can finally avenge it.

"Also, five million euros after everything is done - don't be too little, I'm talking about each person."

Oh, this condition is not bad...

No, before taking into account what I said before, it should be said that it is unexpectedly generous.

At least after debuting for so long, neither Man Yin nor Jack and V have seen such an awesome Party A.

——But then he frowned.

"But in this case, can't you just let Arasaka's own people come in?"

v raised a very constructive question.

The high reward means that the risk of this mission is also high... Compared to mercenaries like them, the people in the Arasaka underground are much easier to use.

And it's cheap too.

"Well, how should I put it? This can be regarded as an insurance. If your mission fails, Arasaka will not directly break up with biotechnology."

Spoken out without any cover-up.

The clues Lin Qiao currently has point to biotechnology being related to another time traveler - this is why he found Man Yin and V.

But as he said, some things are better to be safe after all.

Now Yori Xuan is working hard to compete with military technology.

Although sooner or later, biotechnology and other companies will have to be attacked, and Arasaka will eventually pull all the companies together to finish, but after all, they still have to avoid letting the other parties enter the market early.

So basic covering up is still required...unless it's an emergency.

"Okay, buddy, I've taken this order."

The first to express his stance was Jack.

Whether it was the generous reward or Lin Qiao's kindness in saving him from dying with a doctor's bottle, he had no reason not to accept it.

With his agreement, the others nodded silently after being silent for a while.

"I won't talk about the one named Joanne. As for information, what are you looking for? The dark history of biotechnology? Or research information?"

"Well, I don't know."

"..."

Are you serious?

While the corners of other people's mouths twitched, Lin Qiao spread her hands.

Seeing his irresponsible look, Rebecca, who had the hottest temper, raised her eyebrows and gave him a slap in the face.

"You don't know anything, how can you ask us to find it!?"

"Don't make trouble...it's just because I don't know what's there in biotechnology, that's why I asked you to look for it."

He lightly caught Rebecca's elbow, pulled her off balance, and then quickly stretched out his arms to clamp her waist and arms.

Extremely restless and noisy.

I have to say that her small lolita figure really saves a lot of effort...

Otherwise, they are obviously about the same age, but you can see that Lucy is not fixed.

"Anyway, that's about it. Considering the special nature of this commission, the weapons and ammunition will also be provided by Arasaka."

After all, the enemy may be a vampire, and weapons made of precious metals like silver bullets may not be available in the outside world.

"Okay, do you have any other requirements besides this?"

"Hey, since you said that, David, it would be a little unreasonable for me not to mention it."

"..."

Why the hell are you talking so much?

So at this moment, David received resentful looks from everyone in the room.

Especially when he saw Man Yin's imminent slap, he seemed to be transported back to the past - a time when he was always talking.

Just as David's face was feeling phantom pain, Lin Qiao, as the Party A, also put forward extremely torturous conditions at the right time.

"The conditions are very simple. All the actions I mentioned above must be completed within one day."

"Wait! One day? Are you awake!?"

For such a large operation, let alone one day, a month would not be too much!

"But unfortunately, you only have one day, or even less than one day."

"Of course, there are no other restrictions, and the longest-term investigation and data collection, Arasaka's counterintelligence team will help you with it."

"As for Joanne... if the situation does not allow her to be brought back alive, then the part below the neck will be discarded, but the relative brain must be kept intact and as fresh as possible."

Thanks to the influence of the development of relic and its prototype "Soul Killer", Arasaka has the technology to read memories directly from the human brain.

However, the disadvantage is that it is a bit troublesome to read the memory of a dead person... but that's all.

"If that's the case..."

It seems that it is not impossible.

Man Yin pinched his chin. Eliminating the reconnaissance process would save more than 90% of the mission time.

As for the rest, it was nothing more than splitting the troops into two groups.

Well, this was enough for the number of people present.

"But I still have to remind you that with such a hasty operation, even with the assistance of Arasaka, it is almost impossible for us to act secretly."

"Whatever, I only ask for speed this time, and the other things don't matter, even if I use violent means to break through and make the alarm ring in the end."

Lin Qiao waved his hand. Obviously, he also knew that it was unlikely to complete the task secretly with Man Yin's strength.

Oh, a living devil might be able to do it, but she can't split herself.

"NCPD and the Terrorist Squad will be blind and deaf and won't get in the way."

"As for the internal security of Biotech...if nothing unexpected happens, the day you take action should be the day when their internal defense is the weakest."

Or, at that time, their attention would no longer be able to take care of a small regional director and internal information.

...

After agreeing on the general matters with Manin, David, V and others, Lin Qiao left "Next Life".

Unlike others who went directly to Arasaka Tower to prepare for the upcoming action.

He drove a long way to Heywood's small clinic...or rather, the former clinic.

The door of the clinic was closed, and it was empty inside. The things that should be taken away had been packed almost...probably.

Lucy came out with two large suitcases.

"Have you packed? By the way, why is there another box?"

"Almost. When I was packing, I felt that there were still a lot of things that could be taken away, so I asked someone to send another one over."

Easily put the heavy-looking metal box into the trunk.

Regarding the matter of cleaning up the former residence, the two of them tacitly chose to do it themselves, instead of asking Arasaka to do it for them.

"What? Are you missing the past now?"

In the back seat, "Johnny" in the thermos made a loud sound, causing a certain echo in the car.

But...

"Although I also want to have the emotion of 'nostalgia', unfortunately, I really can't feel anything."

He turned back and glanced at a thermos with a smile.

"By the way, how did you talk with Rogge? Rekindle the relationship? Renew the old relationship?"

"Fuck you, I've become like this, what's the point of renewing it!"

"Really? But don't forget, I know every component of your body very well."

He half-closed his eyes and glanced at the thermos shell wrapped outside the big steel cannon - there were subtle but obvious traces of being disassembled and reassembled.

"Johnny, Johnny, I always thought you were just a bit of a jerk and couldn't control your lower body, but I really didn't expect it..."

"What are you talking about? How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!?"

"Innocent? Do you have it?"

"..."

Using the remote control, he forced the volume of the insulation that was trying to quibble to mute.

Lin Qiao took a last look at the small clinic he used to be in, and then drove away.

The two of them were a little silent along the way.

And not long after he and Lucy left, thick smoke billowed out of it, and there was even a violent explosion.

It was not until a long time later that the city fire department rushed over and started to put out the fire.

It was probably impossible to find something valuable from it afterwards.

Chapter 395 The War Begins

Soon, it was the night of the launch of the Mars colonization rocket in the news.

[…The next flight is Arasaka Corporation's Kaguya 128, with the target being Mars, and the remaining time until launch…]

In the rocket launch base outside Night City, the radio was broadcasting the rocket launch information in an orderly manner.
