It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Every shot hits the head, all thanks to this "Touch of Disaster".

A battle-hardened A-class "Upgrader" cannot withstand the attack simply by having a chip installed.

With her intervention, coupled with other heavy firepower suppression, the rioters were completely trapped.

however.

at this time.

But everyone saw a familiar figure rushing towards them with an alloy blade in hand!

"It's you!"

Tang Shuang recognized it at the first sight.

This is the armored man at that time!

Chapter 101 Do I Really Want to Be with Him?

"Everyone retreat, keep your distance!"

Realizing that a tough enemy had appeared, Tang Shuang immediately made a decision, "Replace the anesthetic gas and electromagnetic rifle!"

Ever since she was defeated by the other party last time, she has been brooding over it and dreams of bringing him to justice.

She was also very clear that ordinary means of attack were of little use to this guy. With the gravity field, it was difficult for her to even get close to him, and ordinary weapons had no effect on her.

But this may not be enough.

So she put on a gas mask, drew the baton from her waist and went forward.

"I won't let you escape again this time!"

"...You can't beat me."

Seeing her attacking him, Xia Wuyou shook his head, making a processed electronic sound, and raised his hand to repeat the same trick.

Xu Shi's instruction to her was to restrain Tang Shuang so that others could get the chip smoothly.

This is not a difficult task, it's just a defeat.

However, what she didn't expect was that this time Tang Shuang pressed forward with her own territory and successfully came in front of her.

Ok?

She reacted in an instant.

It's the combat uniform she's wearing!

That's right.

After the last failure, Tang Shuang was not unprepared. Faced with this situation, he upgraded his equipment configuration.

Although it is impossible to completely invalidate the gravity field, it is possible to offset its effects to a certain extent.

To be honest, this device is not cheap, but it is worth it for arresting S-level wanted criminals.

Doesn't it come in handy now?

However, close combat is her forte, and without the help of any other abilities, she has more confidence in taking down the armored man.

However, she did not expect that the opponent's fighting skills seemed to be no worse than hers. After coming to his senses, he swung his sword and fought against her.

interesting.

Tang Shuang raised a smile, the fighting desire in his body was aroused, and he secretly thought that he must avenge his previous shame this time.

Soon, the two of them were fighting back and forth.

All that could be heard was the sound of blades and batons clashing with each other, mixed with small-scale explosions.

Director Tang used ruthless moves, trying to break his opponent's defense in this way.

However, this approach had little effect. The armor on Xia Wuyou's body had obviously been processed, and its protective and riot-resistant properties were exceptionally good.

In close combat, Tang Shuang could not cause a large-scale explosion and could only play a more distracting role.

The effects of anesthetic gas and electromagnetic rifles are also average, and both of them have corresponding defensive measures, so in the end it will be a head-on fight between them.

However, Xia Wuyou actually had no intention of continuing the fight, as the task assigned by Xu Shi was not to let her and Tang Shuang compete with each other.

So she found the right moment, moved away, and then pressed the switch of the time bomb in her hand.

boom--

Explosions sounded one after another, and in an instant, the entire warehouse turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xia Wuyou quickly left here.

“…Don’t even think about running away!”

Tang Shuang was startled, then gave an order, "One team of people follow me to chase, and the rest of you control the situation!"

Obviously, she didn't expect that the other party would do such a thing. Wasn't he here to steal the chip? Now it has become "If I can't get it, no one else can either."

Unfortunately, the pursuit of Xia Wuyou was the same as last time. After a period of chasing, they were successfully thrown away by the other party.

"……hateful!"

Seeing that the other party had disappeared, Director Tang smashed the car door with a hammer.

I actually let this guy escape again. This is the second time!

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel frustrated after being defeated by the same person repeatedly.

But she knew in her heart that although she had been prepared, she still failed to gain the upper hand in the previous confrontation. In fact, if the stalemate continued, the possibility of losing would be greater than that of the opponent.

tsk...

But this is not the most important issue to consider at the moment. The problem is that although only this one was let go, the "Shark Tooth" warehouse was also burned down.

This is definitely not a win, and the Inspection Bureau will definitely be held accountable by the other party.

Director Tang couldn't stop having a headache when he thought about the subsequent troubles.

However, this battle, both from the performance of her own men and the greater casualties suffered by "Shark Tooth", made her more deeply aware of the importance of the "Twin" chip.

Something that all parties are flocking to, from what Xu Shi said, there may be an upgraded version in the future?

In fact, it is not a possibility, but a certainty. Tang Shuang does not doubt him in this regard... But in this way, the problem that he had just avoided with a joke is now in front of him again.

The Audit Bureau's wealth and influence are not among the best in Night City, but it is in a very important position.

Once you can't keep up with the version, the consequences are self-evident.

Then...what should I do?

Could it be that he really wanted to do as Xu Shi said, and give him a backdoor in exchange for...

Logically speaking, this seems to be the wisest approach. The only thing she can't get over is the hurdle in her heart as the director.

Tang Shuang bit her lip, her mood was a little complicated, and due to the influence of complications, her thoughts became confused.

Maybe there must be another way...

She thought so, but she didn't know that sometimes, even a slight hesitation in one's heart can be the key factor in triggering the butterfly effect.

……

The unrest in District 14 naturally had a significant impact.

But if we were to say who suffered the most, it would be He Yuqiang, who had just received the chip and whose chips were completely destroyed before he could even put them into use.

When he heard the report from his subordinates, he was completely dumbfounded.

Even if Xu Shi offered a preferential price, the funds he mobilized were definitely not a small amount. Although he would not be penniless, it would undoubtedly be a further blow to him to suffer a heavy loss at this critical juncture.

This is not something that can be resolved by holding the Inspection Bureau accountable. They can only help investigate the case, but they cannot fill the gap for you... The same goes for insurance compensation from the City Hall, which all requires a time limit.

All in all, it was a huge loss.

"I *-use civilized language-*! Who on earth did this!?"

He couldn't help but curse out loud, and threw the document in his hand with force, smashing the mirror in front of him into pieces.

He really wanted to chop the culprit into pieces right now, but this was not the most important thing to consider.

What's important is how to make up for the loss, or in other words, what he should do next.

Grit his teeth and buy a batch of chips? What if this situation happens again? He was worried about thieves thinking about it. He felt very uneasy just thinking about it.

Not to mention that his elder brother is watching him. Although He Yuzhao is under pressure from "Prism" and the situation is not smooth, it is at least better than his own.

If he really catches you off guard, the consequences will be disastrous.

Do I really have to follow his example and completely become like Xu Shi...

He knew very well that if he went to negotiate with the other party now, he would probably find it difficult to maintain his previous position. As long as Xu Shi had any ideas, he would inevitably be bullied by him.

But there seemed to be no other choice now - should I turn around and look for "Prism"? That would only lead to an even more miserable death.

He Yuqiang suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into a quagmire without realizing it, and the only one who could save him was Xu Shi.

Even though he had a vague feeling in his heart that the other party might not have good intentions.

Landed safely, no need to send red envelopes!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 102: Hug me, can you?

Xu Shi certainly had no good intentions.

He was the one who arranged the attack on the warehouse in District 14. It was indeed the happiest thing to help his good brothers.

His purpose was very simple. As mentioned before, he wanted to gradually suppress He Yuqiang's living space and force him into a desperate situation without him realizing it.

Of course, this was also a preparation for the annexation of "Shark Tooth". With that bitch Xie Qingyan hindering him everywhere, how could he not make more arrangements?
