By this time, all the little ideas of the Operations Department had been achieved, so Meredith happily took over the command and began to bring order to the chaos.
After gaining command, Meredith activated the agent pretending to be a smuggler and easily had the experimental subject in his hands again.
When the experimental subject finally appeared at the experimental site set up for the third time, everyone who participated in the test breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the actual combat test process, Military Technology released the reference group of soldiers to the experimental site, and the staff of the auxiliary group were all in place.
Just when everyone was waiting to receive the test data, that damn plane appeared.
Before anyone could react, it dropped a huge ghost warrior.
This is the thing that blasted King Kong with a hammer, and then pursued and killed precious experimental subjects of military technology.
Because of the great terror between life and death, the experimental subject who had always been unhappy finally went berserk and showed her terrifying side to the world.
Meredith from the Operations Department didn't care at all as to why the experimental subjects mutated.
At that time, she only cared about the ghost warriors falling from the sky, because this was what their operations department should care about.
The ghost warriors of unknown origin fought fiercely with the experimental subjects. They died together before the military technology backup force arrived, but the problem was not solved.
Although there is no logo, judging from the style of the Oni Samurai, this is definitely a product of the Arasaka family, so this has become a friction event between the two giants.
In order to compete for hegemony, this is not the first time that Military Technology and Arasaka International have fought fiercely, but this time the situation is still very unusual.
At the end of the nuclear war, fierce wars broke out between major companies that had already treated major countries as puppets.
Because they have inherited the legacies of different forces, Arasaka International and Military Technology are naturally at odds with each other. There have been as many as four corporate wars between them.
After the last corporate war ceased, Arasaka and Military Technology stopped fighting, at least on the surface.
But secretly, the two sides were still going back and forth, having a great time.
According to the tacit agreement reached by the two giants, everyone can compete in the audience, but such conflicts will not be made public.
But this time both sides crossed the red line. Not only did they use their own secret weapons, but they actually chose to start the fight in Night City.
After the two secret weapons died together, the command center suddenly lost the real-time image of the experimental site ahead.
This situation is very unusual. Everyone thinks that Arasaka International is playing tricks on it, so the reaction from Military Technology is bigger.
"Ms. Stoddard, I don't care what method you use, I must get the specimen.
We must get all our experimental subjects and their ghost warriors!"
While the two secret weapons were still fighting to the death, the representatives from the board of directors made their decision.
He is the person with the highest status in the command room and the first person to react.
The representative's first decision was to warn the board of directors that Arasaka might start an all-out war.
After issuing such a warning, he immediately deprived the deputy director of his command authority and handed him over to the eager tigress.
This is how Meredith became a special agent. After that, she worked for 48 hours at a stretch.
According to the latest instructions, Meredith must recover the experimental specimens in the testing site before Huangban International.
This kind of work is the specialty of the Operations Department, so Meredith is very good at it.
Three minutes after the satellite images were lost, the Special Operations Team of the Operations Department arrived at the experimental site.
This kind of reaction speed alone is unmatched by the poisonous snakes in the research department, so the representative was also very satisfied.
But even so, the special team of military technology was still not the first to get there.
When the armed soldiers arrived at the experimental site, the deserted agents wearing diamond-shaped golden triangle badges had also appeared.
Because both sides arrived at almost the same time, and the number of armed personnel on both sides was similar, they immediately reached a stalemate.
Soldiers from Military Technology and agents from Arasaka International pointed guns at each other's heads. They cursed each other, even pushed each other, and no one would take a step back.
In order to gain an advantage, the two major forces almost simultaneously thought of sending more manpower.
As wave after wave of reinforcements continued to arrive, the front of Area C462 of the Wall of Sighs became increasingly tense.
By this time, there were not only armored vehicles and mechas here, but combat satellites orbiting the earth were also gathered in this airspace.
Suddenly, Military Technology and Arasaka International had a big disagreement and were about to start the fifth corporate war.
At this time, not only the entire C462 area, but also the surrounding 10 kilometers has become a restricted area. Not to mention the citizens, even the police and self-defense team members have been expelled.
Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, a hastily drawn up agreement was delivered to Meredith.
Only then did the senior director of the Operations Department know that Military Technology and Huangban International had finally reached an agreement after difficult negotiations.
According to the agreement, both parties agreed not to hold the other party responsible.
Military Technology will recover their experimental subjects, while Wild Edition International will recover the ghost warriors who are said to be running around after suddenly losing control.
This is a fairly fair agreement, after all, both parties get back what belongs to them.
Although this means that no one takes advantage, it still achieves the minimum demands.
When the research department entered the site to recover the remains of the experimental body, Meredith was busy with other things/
This actual combat test can be said to be a complete mess, so someone must be taking the blame now.
According to the above requirements, Meredith needs to immediately launch an internal investigation, and she also has to be responsible for handling the aftermath.
The so-called Tatewei are basically the three mercenaries who got into great trouble.
Although they did not touch the core secrets, they heard and saw a lot of things they should not know, so they must always shut up.
Of course, Meredith had to strictly implement such instructions, so she immediately arranged for the entire city to pursue the Peacock Trio.
When the special disposal team of Military Technology arrived, the mercenary who escorted the experimental subject to the test site had already escaped with the help of his companions.
Since she briefly lost satellite imagery of the scene, Meredith had no way of knowing the details of the three people's escape. She could only cast a net in the sky and hope for good luck.
In Night City, military technology is king. Therefore, although the three mercenaries escaped from the experimental site, they still could not escape far.
People from Military Technology found the three people 6 kilometers away from the scene of the incident. After confirming their identities, the Operations Department took decisive action and burned all of them including their vehicles.
Meredith just listened to the report on this matter. She felt that this matter was a bit too coincidental, but she did not intend to pursue it any further.
Meredith's car had just turned into the driveway before her home security system popped up with a welcome screen on her retinas.
As a mid-level manager of a Big Three, Meredith had the financial resources to own a 6-room cottage in a safe and secure area.
The loyal home security system will be on duty 24 hours a day, closely guarding her home.
This management system controls each access control of the villa. In addition, there are two sentry machine guns and two defensive police robots.
If such force is not enough to solve the problem, it will also proactively summon mobile troops with military technology.
After entering the living room with the owner's ID, Meredith immediately stepped lightly.
To keep things quiet, she didn't even allow those smart lights to turn on automatically.
After returning to her own little world, a smile finally appeared on the corner of Meredith's mouth.
Feeling more and more relaxed, she walked through the living room and wanted to go upstairs directly. At this moment, her body suddenly shook.
Turning her neck little by little, Meredith looked at the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room.
There was a very comfortable chair there, and sitting on it was a man with his head lowered.
The man was sitting there before Meredith came through the door.
I don't know how he did it, or maybe Meredith was a little relaxed because she entered the house. In short, she didn't notice this uninvited guest until then.
"Peacock?"
Because the man lowered his head and didn't turn on the lights, Meredith could only see a rough outline.
She couldn't see the man's face clearly, but she could see his hands clearly.
Those were a pair of clean hands, which were resting quietly on his knees.
Those slender fingers are definitely more suitable for a piano, but now they are holding a huge revolver.
After Meredith called out his name, the young man sitting on the chair looked up.
"Long time no see, Meredith?"
Although it was just an ordinary greeting, it caused huge waves in the woman's heart.
In the past few days, Meredith has been well received for her excellent performance, but she has some grudges.
She wanted to know why the military technology satellite lost its signal at the most critical moment, and why the mercenaries escaping from the test site bumped into the search team she sent out.
After learning the final fate of the three mercenaries, Meredith personally reviewed the battle records.
The relevant records are quite complete: from the discovery of the mercenary's car to the burning to death of three people in the car, the entire process was recorded.
For some reason, Meredith was ready to accept this theory, but she was still suspicious.
But when she saw the peacock sitting well in her home, Meredith calmed down because the boot that kept her from eating and sleeping finally fell to the ground.
"Peacock, you and your friends are really impressive."
"Meredith, you're pretty good too."
"Stop talking nonsense! What do you want to do?"
"What else can I do? After I finish the work you gave me, I naturally have to tell you. By the way, I also want to ask if you have anything else to say."
"Peacock, I didn't expect things to end up like this. Do you still want to blame me?"
"I can't blame you, can you blame me?"
"Peacock! I asked you to do things for me, not to cause trouble for me, but you have caused trouble for me from the beginning.
You tampered with the plan I gave you and even disappeared in the middle.
I asked you to hand the person over to the smugglers, but you went the extra mile and insisted on sending him on another journey.
Think about it, aren’t the dangers you and your friends encounter brought on by yourself?
If you had followed my instructions strictly from the beginning, this mission would have ended 48 hours ago!"
"Are you saying that Morty should have died 48 hours ago, and it was my troubles that allowed her to live for another 24 hours?"
"That's between Morty and me, not you!
I have been saying that you are mercenaries, so you should be more professional. What you should care about is how to make your employer realize its wishes, not meddling in other people's business.
"Yes, it's all because of us meddling in other people's business. What you said makes sense.
Meredith, I don't want to argue with you. I just want to ask you, are you really not ashamed at all for doing such a thing?"
Finally, he asked the question that he had been holding in his heart, but Peacock didn't say it properly. He growled at this woman for the first time.
Two days ago, Peacock watched the girl Motina die in his arms.
At that time, his mind was in chaos and he had no idea what to do. If Jack and Wei hadn't arrived in time and pulled him into the car, he would have been caught.
After escaping from the restricted area, the three of them did not dare to go home.
Although they still didn't understand the twists and turns of this incident, they all knew what might happen next.
As participants in this incident, they must be silenced, so the three of them have been discussing how to escape Night City in the past few days.
