Chapter 229: Legendary Hunting Target

Night City, Baishou Street.

A square building stands here, which is completely different from the stylish and individual buildings around it.

This is the headquarters of the Security Department, which is responsible for coordinating the maintenance of public security throughout the city.

At this early morning, the conference room is already full of people, reviewing and arranging the theft of the outstanding implant [Stave] yesterday, as well as the follow-up actions early this morning.

“…As the heart functional department of Ye Shengdu, members at all levels of our company must dare to take on responsibilities and strive to be the first. In this regard, everyone must follow the example of the inspection team leader Ge Lan and act vigorously and resolutely!

In just one night, the fugitive Clementine's trick of faking her own death to escape was eliminated. Although the [Stave] has not yet been recovered, this operation represents an important stage victory for us!

This case attracted the attention of many people in Yeshengdu. Our company’s performance was remarkable, it showed its style and won applause!

Looking back on the whole process, I have the following six insights..."

The bald commander-in-chief who sat at the head of the table spoke incessantly, and the inspection captain Ge Lan, who was sitting in the corner with his arms folded, fell drowsy as he listened.

After everyone was half asleep for a long time, the bald-headed commander-in-chief finally finished his summary, which was so brilliant that those who didn't know thought he was personally leading the team to take action.

"As expected of the chief minister! This insight really boosts morale, adds pride, and builds popularity!"

The deputy secretary wearing retro round-framed glasses praised him repeatedly, his expression coming from the bottom of his heart.

The rest of the people who had been sleeping for a few minutes woke up and hurriedly followed suit.

"Correct!"

"To the point!"

"To the point!"

"What a load of nonsense!"

"Straight to the point!"



The bald commander-in-chief was contented, but he vaguely heard an unharmonious sound. He followed the source and looked at Ge Lan in the corner, frowned and asked: "Captain Ge Lan, what did you just say?"

But he saw Ge Lan giving a thumbs up in a serious manner: "I say, thank you, Chief Secretary!"

After the meeting, sleepy-eyed people left one after another.

Ge Lan walked towards his office with drooped eyelids, when he was suddenly held by a woman in a white uniform. The latter smiled and suggested in a low voice: "Ge~Ge~ come with me to see something interesting?"

"Not going."

Ge Lan didn't look sideways and simply refused.

This woman's name is Teresa. She is only twenty-two years old. She doesn't look very smart, but she is already the top person in charge of the security and forensic department!

There is no doubt about his ability, but his nerves are more or less abnormal.

"How can Gogo bear to be afraid of being alone?"

Teresa pretended to be timid and said, while her mechanized fingers pinched the soft flesh on the inside of Ge Lan's arm.

After a while, the two came to the morgue of the forensic department, where the cockscomb-headed Giggs and the female engineer Clementine were placed after a comprehensive examination.

Ge Lan rubbed his arm and asked angrily: "Just look at the two of them? I have noticed the fatal injuries a long time ago. They were not done by ordinary people."

"nonsense!"

Theresa rolled her eyes, picked up the tablet next to the body, retrieved the data, and showed it to Ge Lan.

"Giggs' neck injury was caused by extremely strong instantaneous pressure from his five fingers. He died in an instant. It is much higher than the recorded data of outstanding-level finger robots! In addition..."

Teresa swiped the tablet page to reveal Clementine's autopsy report.

"The energy that penetrated her head was measured to be approximately equal to a normal blow from a person with a hundred combat powers."

One hundred combat power?

Ge Lan's expression was slightly startled, and he subconsciously thought it was impossible.

You must know that the human skull is one of the hardest parts of the body, and Clementine is reinforced with sophisticated subcutaneous implants. How could she be shot and killed by the energy of a mere hundred combat strengths?

unless…

Seeing the change in Ge Lan's expression, Theresa continued:

"As you might imagine, the density and rate of attack of this energy are so high that it is difficult to accurately calculate. It probably does not come from firearms, but from some kind of top-notch implanted launcher."

Legendary!

Ge Lan scratched his hair out of habit and sighed: "Why do we take this kind of case? Can't we just let the miracle arm us to solve it ourselves?"

"Miracle Armed Forces gave the Security Department eight million in sponsorship for this case."

The corner of Teresa's mouth curled up and she added: "The action bonus that was just credited to your account is part of this sponsorship."

Ge Lan: "Oh."



In a beverage shop not far from the Security Department, Wang Hui, who was regarded as a "legendary arrest target," was leisurely drinking a drink while flipping through a brand new tablet computer.

I just bought this from a "Micro Hardware" brand store. It is said to be the latest and most high-end model on the market. It cost more than 60,000 yuan.

Anyway, Wang Hui has 3 million generously sponsored by Clementine and Jiguantou, so he doesn't feel bad at all for spending such a small amount of money.

The drink in your hand is in a transparent glass with many layers inside. When shaken slightly, colorful colors are revealed. It looks very magical!

As for the taste...Wang Hui can't compliment it. It's very similar to the inferior drinks made from a variety of cheap flavors outside.

Perhaps it’s because vegetables and fruits are considered luxuries in the mechanical world, and drinks rarely use pure natural ingredients. They are all artificially processed to simulate the taste, and the taste is far less amazing than it looks.

"Sure enough, there is no perfect world. The mechanical world seems to be far ahead of the first three worlds in terms of development, but the quality of life of civilians may not be superior. The concentration of resources at the top is too exaggerated..."

After all, Wang Hui came from an outside world with a high level of modernization, and he quickly became comfortable using similar types of technological products here.

Querying a large amount of information through the Internet through a tablet computer quickly deepened his understanding of the mechanical world, and gradually connected the fragmented information he had previously learned.

The current year is Era 2066, which means that human civilization has been around for at least two thousand years.

From the historical information on the Internet, Wang Hui learned that the first humans in the mechanical world were similar to the clan world and lived in scattered places.

Later, because the threat of wild beasts was too great, the weak humans had to huddle together for warmth, and gradually gathered in the central region, building the prototype of the "Night City".

Then, when the era first entered the initial stage of industrialization, someone realized the peculiarity of the source material crystal, named it "energy crystal", and worked hard to explore its uses.

From then on, humankind's scientific and technological level began to improve rapidly, and a variety of technologies were developed with energy crystals as the core. The style of Night City was changing with each passing day!

Later, two major forces, Cyber ​​Group and Miracle Armed Forces, emerged.

The former controls Ye Shengdu's people's livelihood, medical care, education and many other fields, while the latter has explosive force and has a large-scale regular armed army.

Both parties share the rights to exploit the energy on the clouds, and forces such as the Yingshou Gang who appeared late can only follow the two overlords and eat scraps.

Wang Hui was searching the information of major organizations in detail when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the real-time news broadcast on the electronic screen on the wall, reporting on an accident that had just happened.

There is a familiar figure in the picture...
