In the Civic Center, a commercial street area, crowds were commotion and screams rang out one after another in the area. Immediately, there were bursts of intensive gunshots. The deafening gunshots completely broke the peaceful atmosphere of the Civic Center.
.
The crowd surged, and innocent passers-by began to flee crazily on the street. They lowered their bodies to reduce their exposure to bullets, and fled in panic on the street.
Most of the vehicles on the road also disappeared in this short period of time.
Among the chaotic crowd, members of the Tiger Claw Gang, who were dressed in suits and dressed meticulously, quickly put down their firearms when they saw that the commotion had become loud and that their purpose of dispersing the innocent crowd had been achieved.
After confirming that people in the area had begun to leave and no casualties were caused, these people immediately put away their guns and left the scene according to the predetermined escape route.
As members of Night City's gangs, these Tiger Claw members are well aware of the city's rules.
——As long as no casualties are caused, even if you have indeed committed a crime, the NCPD will not even pay attention to you.
Even if it causes turmoil in the social order, as long as there are no major problems or the interests of the company are endangered, then you only need to stay quiet for a while to avoid the limelight, and you will most likely be fine in the future.
Therefore, for small things like shooting in the street and randomly shooting into the sky without causing casualties, as long as you can escape before the NCPD arrives at the scene, no one will be held accountable later.
The chaotic and lively streets quickly returned to calm, and the commercial streets that used to be crowded with people now became deserted.
Randomly discarded garbage stained the clean roads. Shop owners saw that the situation was bad and closed their doors tightly. The whole street became desolate, and people hiding in the buildings did not even dare to show their heads.
.
A few minutes after the gunfire stopped, some store owners thought the shooter had left the scene.
They quietly opened the shop window and tried to observe what was going on outside.
However, the next thing that caught their eyes was the Arasaka Company vehicles passing by on the road, and the trauma team's floating vehicle floating in mid-air.
Every armed man who stepped off the vehicle was prepared in a solemn and silent manner.
The noise made by these vehicles when they started up, and the warning broadcasts made by the NCPD who arrived later, all kinds of early warnings immediately gave up the idea of opening stores again.
Soon, the Arasaka troops who gradually gathered on the side of the road formed an array. The captain of the Arasaka Operation Team, who was headed by him, looked around the street with a frown, his eyes scanning back and forth at the alley entrances of those streets.
A 3D structural diagram of this area emerged in his mind. If nothing unexpected happened, the abducted Arasaka management would be imprisoned in a series of buildings in front of him, and unknown enemies were likely to ambush that way.
In an alley.
"If I remember correctly, this should be a commercial street. Where have all the people gone?" The leader of the action team looked at the assistant beside him.
"According to the information from the NCPD, it seems that a group of gang members dispersed the crowd here before we arrived... I don't know if it was a coincidence, but their actions did facilitate our actions." The assistant immediately replied.
road.
The captain nodded slightly, then looked at both sides of the road, and saw NCPD police officers starting to set up warning lines on the road passing through this commercial street, and began to maintain order around this commercial street.
Obviously, these NCPD police officers do not seem to intend to get involved in this muddy water. Most of them are just ordinary police officers. The weapons they carry are probably only a small pistol. It is difficult to expect them to play much role.
However, the captain of the Arasaka Action Team had already expected this. Regarding the NCPD's retreat, he just sneered and immediately continued to look in front of him.
"Captain, when should we act?" the assistant asked.
"Don't worry, our mission this time is not to save people, but to keep all the enemies who stole the company's secrets here." The captain said indifferently:
"We just need to seal this place and wait for the trauma team to get in. After they have tested the enemy's capabilities, it won't be too late for us to get in again."
The assistant nodded slightly, turned around and directed other team members to put on their weapons and block all exits in the area.
Their goal from the beginning was not to rescue the abducted director of the research department, but to ensure that the company's internal secrets would not be leaked.
Regardless of his own safety, he was openly abducted by enemies on the street, and the company's secrets were at risk of being leaked. This was undoubtedly an act of malfeasance in the eyes of the company. The manager named Tanaka, as a research department member
The project director should be responsible for his own actions.
Therefore, considering the motivation of our own team, there is really no need for the team leader to take action in time.
Soon, under the gaze of everyone, the trauma team's aerial vehicle floating in the air slowly landed on the rooftop of a building as if it was death.
They seem to be planning to launch an attack from mid-air. If they can successfully establish their own position on the platform of the building, it will definitely become easier to continuously attack the building where the target is located.
But the fireworks that exploded completely ruined their action plan.
The object with a long string of smoke hit the outer shell of the aerial vehicle. The violent explosion and shock wave almost overturned the aerial vehicle. The front end of the vehicle body was raised high, and the armed personnel of the trauma team inside almost flew out.
But before they could stabilize their position, missiles rained down on them one after another, as if they were free of charge.
The smoke and flames that shot up one after another also formed a series of dark clouds in the mid-air.
The countermeasures system of the aerial vehicle was finally activated. The electromagnetic device created a dense power grid, blocking most of the missile attacks. The driver also tried his best to dodge the missiles.

The trauma team was completely defeated.
The damaged floating car almost fell apart and fell onto the road - if the other party hadn't stopped suddenly and in time, they wouldn't have even had a chance to fall.
Fortunately, the completely destroyed floating car did not explode. Several members of the trauma team who were hiding in the car and narrowly escaped with the help of buffer devices staggered out and issued hoarse warnings to their colleagues who came after them.
.
"This kind of firepower...is it the work of which company?"
The captain of the action team who stood at the bottom of the building and witnessed the entire process couldn't help but clenched his fists, feeling shocked and angry.
High-heat explosive equipment is rarely found in Night City, and even the regular security forces of ordinary companies are rarely equipped with such explosive weapons that can cause huge damage to city buildings.
As for those fringe people who generally only eat the "leftovers" of the company, most of their weapons and equipment were obtained by attacking the company's armed personnel, or purchased in weapons stores.
How could they still have such explosive firepower?
"Captain, the enemy possesses explosive-type heavy weapons. We cannot establish air superiority through aerospace vehicles and other vehicles... What should we do next? Directly carry out a breakthrough operation?" the assistant asked calmly.
The captain looked coldly towards the top of the building, but due to the angle, he could not see the enemy on the rooftop.
"Arrange snipers on nearby high-rise buildings to be on standby at any time. Once the enemy appears on the roof of the building, directly order them to fire. They are now hiding in the building. Even if they have heavy weapons, they cannot use them casually."
