Chapter 66 Johnny Silver Hand is here, the gods avoid!
"Did you go the wrong way? How to get here?"
Just as the escort turned right, Takemura stopped.
As long as he has walked through a place once, Takemura will remember it. This is a requirement of being a good bodyguard, so he is extremely sensitive to the route.
"That's right, it's right here, take it!"
Looking at Takemura's confused eyes, Kurita smiled slightly and issued such an instruction.
Following his order, all the people surrounding Peacock and Zhucun immediately swarmed up and grabbed Zhuchun and Peacock tightly.
Since they couldn't even straighten their arms, Takemura and Peacock couldn't move away no matter how hard they fought, so they were almost immediately controlled by these guards.
"Kurita, why is this? Are you going to betray Miss Hanako?"
"Shut up, you traitor!"
Just when Takemura and Kurita were frightened by each other, Peacock's intestines turned green with regret.
Before today, he had imagined many extreme situations, including the situation where Miss Arasaka turned her back and refused to recognize anyone.
There was no need for the mysterious man to remind him that Peacock had already thought of this extreme situation.
But Peacock never thought that the woman would choose to attack at this time.
"Doesn't she need us to testify anymore? Has she made a secret agreement with Yori Xuan?"
After suddenly thinking of this possibility, Peacock's back was immediately soaked with cold sweat. Because if this was really the case, then not only would he be dead, but he would also die unjustly.
Because of the fighting here, the Arasaka Tower guards who were patrolling the platform began to approach the patio.
A patrolling drone also stopped and turned to these guards of Hanako Arasaka.
Seeing the guards getting closer and closer, Kurita, who was leading the team, knew he could not wait any longer.
The order he received was to eliminate future troubles for the eldest lady, so he had to make an immediate decision.
"Hold them down!"
Following Kurita's greeting, Takemura and Peacock were pinned to the ground at the same time.
"On Miss Huazi's order, I will kill you two enemies of the company on the spot!"
After loudly announcing the charges of the two men on the ground, Kurita immediately raised his gun.
"This is impossible! You lied to me!"
Until this moment, Takemura still looked like he couldn't believe it. But Peacock opened his mouth and sneered at Kurita.
It was this smile that immediately annoyed Kurita. Originally, his first target was Takemura, but now he turned his gun and prepared to send Peacock on his way first.
Just when he was about to pull the trigger, a deafening burst of gunfire rang out from behind the guards.
Before Kurita could understand, he was knocked to the ground by the person behind him.
"What's going on? Who is attacking us?!"
As soon as Kurita opened his mouth, a cloud of blood mist splashed over his head and face. Just as he was about to wipe it, he found that his body was already stained with a lot of human flesh and bones.
"Asshole! What's going on? Fight back, fight back quickly!"
While roaring like this, Kurita quickly fell down on the spot.
From just now to now, the gunfire from the rear has not stopped. Under such circumstances, how dare he continue to stand and talk.
Because he was surrounded by many people, Kurita was lucky not to be hit by a bullet.
He has such a good fortune, but the guards standing on the outside do not have such a blessing.
The bullets that swept in like a violent wind killed almost 1/3 of the guards in an instant. Just now they were all vigorous and vigorous, but now they were turned into miserable corpses.
"Why? Why is that thing attacking us?"
At this time, Kurita, who was lying on the ground, had already seen who was shooting at them, so he was even more confused.
There were only two types of people on this platform just now. Except for the 20 guards of Arasaka Hanako, the others were all soldiers affiliated with Arasaka Tower.
The person who made a sneak attack on Kurita and the others was none other than the unmanned combat mech that was walking nearby before.
Arasaka International is one of the top three arms trusts in the world. They possess the most powerful military technology in the world and can produce the most suitable weapons for various special combat environments.
In order to deal with complex urban environments such as Night City, Arasaka International has been committed to developing unmanned small combat mechas suitable for urban combat.
Unlike military technology mechas that focus on killing and defense, Arasaka's drones place more emphasis on flexibility.
Their exclusive mecha for urban combat is only about two meters tall and weighs between 500 and 600 kilograms.
This mecha has a walking foot structure that mimics that of a bird, so it can easily go up and down stairs.
If a modular jetpack is attached, their drone armor can also gain short-term airborne and gliding capabilities.
Arasaka's unmanned combat mecha may seem small, but its firepower cannot be underestimated at all.
Its standard weapon configuration is a Vulcan cannon with an effective range of 800 meters in its left hand, and a chain saw or gear ax suitable for close combat in its right hand.
In addition to these two standard weapons, Arasaka's unmanned combat mecha also comes with a wealth of external weapon mounts.
It can change its weapon configuration at any time according to different tasks, so as to perfectly meet the requirements of the task.
Because there is a crucial meeting in Arasaka Tower today, the alert level of Arasaka Tower has reached an all-time high.
On this platform alone where the flying car is parked, there are two such unmanned combat mechas called Yasha Crow. In addition, there are no less than 50 armed personnel here.
The one that was firing at Kurita and the others at this moment was one of the two Yasha Crows. Although it was only the most common all-purpose model, its sneak attack also caused huge damage in an instant.
The Vulcan Cannon used by the Yasha Crow is not an individual weapon. This big thing with a caliber of 20 mm is actually a small-caliber machine gun-level weapon.
When 20mm bullets are fired from the back like a storm, no matter how thick the subcutaneous armor and reinforced bones of the guards are, everything has no practical significance.
As long as they are hit, the bodies of those guards will fall apart and turn into a pile of minced meat that can no longer be put together.
"Takemura, let's go!"
As gunfire rang out, those who were holding down Peacock and Zhucun were cleared away almost instantly.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Vulcan cannon changed its shooting target, Peacock jumped up, then raised his foot and kicked Takemura Goro who was still in a daze.
With Goro Takemura's strength, he should have seized such an escape opportunity long ago.
However, due to too much stimulation before, this Arasaka elite is now as dumb as a sleepwalker.
After being kicked by the peacock, Takemura woke up a little. So he immediately followed the peacock, bent over and ran forward.
"Peacock! What's going on?"
"Takemura, there's no time to explain! It's on our side now!"
While continuing to run wildly, Peacock turned on the intercom in the other ear.
As soon as he got through to a certain terrorist, he immediately heard Johnny Silverhand yelling wildly.
"Hahaha! It's so cool! It's so cool!
You damn Arasaka dogs! Come here, come here and bite me!"
Following Johnny Silverhand's roar, the Vulcan cannon on Yasha Crow's left arm kept pouring bullets at Hanako Arasaka's guards.
"Baga! We can't let those two people escape, we must kill them!"
Seeing that Takemura and Peacock both ran more than 20 meters away, the anxious Kurita couldn't bear it any longer.
Under his loud orders, all the surviving guards got up and opened fire on Yasha Crow, while he secretly aimed at the two people who were escaping.
Before Kurita could shoot, the huge drone armor moved quickly sideways, just covering Peacock and Takemura who ran past it.
Although Kurita shot accurately, the bullet only hit Yasha Crow and did not kill either of the two people.
"ah!"
As soon as Kurita let out an angry roar, a long string of blazing bullets swept over him.
This time Kurita could no longer hide. He bore the brunt and became the target of Yasha Crow's attack.
When the bullet penetrated his lower abdomen, all the strength in his body was immediately drained away.
Arasaka Hanako's deputy captain of the Guards died on the speeding platform of Arasaka Tower. Apart from him, 12 of the Guards died and 7 were seriously injured. Arasaka Hanako's Guards were completely destroyed.
"Peacock! We can't escape like this.
Something must have happened to Miss Huazi, you should come with me to save her!"
Because Yaksha Crow dealt with the guards in time, Peacock and Zhucun were not attacked again for the time being. However, someone suddenly stopped in his tracks because of a sudden flash of his mind.
"Takemura! Don't you understand yet? Arakan Hanako betrayed us, and it was she who ordered Kurita to kill us."
Seeing Takemura being stupid at this point, Peacock was going crazy.
But he couldn't just leave Zhucun alone, so he stretched out his hand to pull Zhucun while trying to wake up this stubborn person.
"No! It's impossible. It's impossible for Miss Hanako to betray her father. She has no reason to do that.
She must have had an accident. Lai Xuan must have attacked her. Maybe she has been controlled.
Kurita was just pretending to give an order just now, and this was definitely not what the young lady meant."
"Takemura, don't lie to yourself, do you think this is possible?
In your opinion, Hanako Arasaka is smart and capable, her ability is not inferior to that of her father, and her reputation is second only to Saburo Arasaka.
Is it this kind of strong woman who, despite being well prepared, would be defeated by that loser second generation who only knows how to eat, drink, whore, and gamble?
Just because Kurita is the deputy captain of the Guards, can he make all the Guards turn against him?
You yourself said that only Hanako Arasaka can command these guards.
Think about what just happened! Stop having any illusions.
Now run for me!"
While refuting Takemura like this, Peacock dragged the lost old man.
His words were heart-breaking, and they all pierced Zhucun's heart.
With Takemura's IQ, how could this veteran who was infinitely loyal to Saburo Arasaka fail to understand? Takemura just refused to believe that fact.
Peacock's words peeled off the last veil covering the cruel truth. At this moment, Zhucun felt completely hopeless.
If the peacock hadn't still been dragging him, he would have really wanted to change direction, rush towards those who wanted to kill him, and end his pain with an honorable charge.
After the Yasha Crow suddenly fired, the aerial platform above the 270th floor was completely in chaos.
More and more Arasaka Tower guards arrived. Although there were many of them, they didn't understand the situation, so they didn't know who the enemy was.
Just as the guards were in chaos, the Yasha Crow who had just opened fire suddenly started running again.
In just three seconds, it increased its speed to 40 yards per hour.
So when its serrated knife swung at another unmanned aerial vehicle, the knife inserted into the main control cabin of that mecha very easily.
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
Seeing this mecha going crazy again, all the Arasaka Tower guards screamed in surprise.
Ignoring the strange screams of those people, Yasha Crow fiercely stirred the serrated knife in his hand, turning the cyber chip worth hundreds of thousands of euros into scrap.
When it drew out its serrated blade, the only fighting force on the platform that could confront it head-on collapsed and became another of its prey.
After convincing Zhucun to follow him, Peacock continued to run forward with Zhucun.
Although no one is shooting at them now, this is only temporary. You must know that this is Arasaka Tower, which is the most powerful place in Arasaka.
The reason why Peacock chose this direction is entirely because of the Yasha Crow.
Because there was this strong support here, he subconsciously ran here.
Theoretically speaking, Zhucun is definitely more suitable to lead the way.
But just by looking at the despairing look on the man's face, Peacock knew that this loyal minister had not recovered from the mental blow just now, so he could only call Johnny Silverhand.
"Johnny Silverhand! Where do we go now?"
Because the situation was urgent, Peacock didn't care about Takemura's stress reaction to the name Johnny Silverhand. He urgently called his trump card today, hoping to get more help.
"Continue forward and take the freight elevator to Exit 387. Don't worry about the back, I will block them."
The peacock's call was immediately answered by someone, and someone's attitude was surprisingly good today.
Being able to kill people in Arasaka Tower in this way should make the strongest terrorist in history very happy. Peacock guessed that Johnny Silverhand was in a very beautiful mood right now.
Listening to the peacock's mindless call, and looking at the Yasha Crow behind him who was washing the ground with the Vulcan Cannon again, Zhucun found that he was numb.
No matter what strange situation happens again, Zhucun will not be surprised anymore.
Nowadays, Zhucun is in a state of breaking things, but Peacock feels lucky.
Because of Johnny Silverhand's advice, Peacock made the worst plan for today's events.
He originally thought it was just a redundant move. But who would have thought that Murphy's Law would actually come true, and his and Johnny Silverhand's preparations would come into play.
According to Takemura's plan, a temporary alliance composed of two humans and an Autobot began to work hard to bring down Arasaka Yorinobu.
It should be said that the entire plan progressed smoothly. Except for the trouble of convincing Oda, the rest of the plan went smoothly.
After Hanako Arasaka joined, Peacock and Takemura no longer had to bear most of the pressure.
Unlike these two bereaved dogs who dare not show up casually, the eldest lady gets whatever she wants, so Takemura and Peacock just need to follow the arrangements.
Just when Peacock breathed a sigh of relief for this, Johnny Silverhand sang the opposite tune.
"Peacock, people in the Foot Basin are always unreliable, so you have to save yourself a hand."
After hearing Johnny Silverhand's serious warning, Peacock couldn't help but be horrified.
Only then did he realize that he had almost made a big mistake, because he had pinned his hope of survival on other people.
The idea of relying on others to survive has always been the stupidest thing. It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will still be like this in the future, so Peacock immediately decided to correct the mistake.
Peacock has a trump card that neither Takemura nor Hanako Arasaka knows about. In addition to the mysterious power called Blight, Johnny Silverhand, who has been integrated with Draman's computer system, is also a strong support.
"Johnny Silverhand, do you have a way to hack into Arasaka's computer?"
When Peacock asked Johnny Silverhand this question, the other party sneered.
"Peacock, have you watched too many Matrix movies?
What? You want to take me into Arasaka tomorrow and let me control the computer there, and then you will be invincible?
If it were that easy, I would have done it long ago.
Peacock, what you are saying is impossible.
Every computer in Arasaka has a firewall. Controlling them has nothing to do with whether I'm nearby or not.
I don't have the ability to hack. So even if you have the ability to import me directly into the wild version of the host, it's useless.
If you do that, I will be killed by the anti-virus software on the other party’s computer in minutes.”
"So what do you suggest?"
Hearing what Johnny Silverhand said, Peacock couldn't help but sigh. At this time, he missed Wei and T-bug very much.
One of them is a combat hacker, and the other is a master who specializes in intrusion.
If they were still there, Johnny Silverhand would definitely be able to play a greater role, instead of just being the little brother who calls for a ride at any time.
"My suggestion is that you ask an expert. Neither you nor I understand hacking techniques, but they may have a way.
But there is a problem, because you have to find someone who is both reliable and knowledgeable."
When Johnny Silverhand said this, Peacock immediately thought of Judy.
The green-haired girl could crack the Yunding Building's computer in minutes. This was already very powerful in Peacock's opinion, so Peacock decided to go find Judy.
After making this decision, Peacock will propose that he wants to go out.
Yesterday afternoon, he successfully found Judy.
When he told the girl his thoughts, Judy shook her head repeatedly.
"Peacock, the invasion method you mentioned is feasible in principle, but I don't have the ability.
My two attacks are only enough to deal with civilian computers. If I want to deal with military-grade computers, they are definitely not enough."
The green-haired girl's words immediately made Peacock feel cold, but then Judy turned his worries into joy.
"Although I can't do it, there may be someone I know who can, and you actually know that person too."
"who is he?"
"You didn't know? She is Sandra Dorsett!
Although she looks like a rebellious girl on the outside, she is actually a top-notch hacker who has been famous for a long time."
"Sandra Dorset..."
Hearing this name again, Peacock immediately thought of the bald girl he had saved twice.
