Faraday, this guy, could be considered the architect of Mann's team's tragedy. Especially because he's still working for Militech now, but later he'll become a double agent caught between the two corporations.
Moreover, Faraday will discover Lucy's existence in the end and help Arasaka capture her.
Lucy is a hacker cultivated by Arasaka. She knows many loopholes in Arasaka ICE, so Arasaka must capture her. Otherwise, if Lucy is exploited by others, it will be detrimental to Arasaka.
This is the reason why Arasaka insists on capturing Lucy.
Besides, you need to pay attention to Kiwi, because she and Faraday are in cahoots. Later, she even betrayed Mann's team because of this.
Although Kiwi returned to her original intention in the end, it was too late. The result of betrayal is to harm others and harm herself.
As for whether Kiwi and Faraday are secretly trading now, Jiang Heng doesn't know. It's best if they aren't. If they are, he wouldn't mind taking a ruthless approach.
…
“Looks like I need to find a chance to meet this Faraday guy, maybe I can just kill him while I'm at it.” Jiang Heng thought to himself.
In Night City, don't be afraid to kill. When you kill, don't worry about the person's identity.
Just follow one principle, that is, if the other party is a threat, then eliminate them, don't think too much about other things, think too much, you'll lose more.
Night City itself is not a place of reason.
Seeing Jiang Heng lost in thought, Mann asked with some doubt, “What's wrong? Is there a problem with Faraday?”
“No problem, I was just asking, you can introduce him to me later, having more connections means more jobs, right?” Jiang Heng said, without explaining anything. After all, those things hadn't happened yet.
As for saying that Faraday works for someone, no one cares. Who the client is, that’s not something a mercenary should care about.
Get paid and do the job, that's the rule.
“No problem.”
Mann didn't think much about it and readily agreed.
…
Night fell quickly.
Jiang Heng and his group were ready to go. Mann had a reliable old driver, Falco, drive a van. All nine of them got in.
The car set off from Little China in Watson, crossed the bridge, and entered the City Center area.
City Center is the most luxurious area in Night City, because it's the territory of the corporations.
The entire area is divided into two areas, City Center and Corporate Plaza. City Center is where the upper echelons of the corporation live. It's full of skyscrapers, and there's even a green park in the middle.
In Night City, where clean soil is so precious, there’s this green park in an area full of skyscrapers, which shows just how lavish the lives of these powerful people are.
However, this is not where Jiang Heng and the others are going. Their destination is Corporate Plaza.
Corporate Plaza, as the name suggests, is the office location of countless corporations. Almost all of the world's top companies are gathered here.
Arasaka Corporation, Militech, Biotechnica, Kangtao, etc. all have branches here. It's worth mentioning that Kangtao is a Dragon Country company, with its headquarters in Shengjing, Liaoning Province.
Passing through the skyscrapers, the car finally arrived near the Biotechnica building. Falco found a place to park the car, and then everyone started to move.
Kiwi took out a small portable computer and started operating it. After a while, she gave everyone an OK gesture.
She had taken over all the surveillance equipment in Biotechnica!
“So fast?” Jiang Heng was quite surprised. You know, this is Biotechnica's building. It contains countless confidential data and information. In theory, its protection should be very strong.
Jiang Heng always felt that the plot in the MV was a bit off. Sasha actually rushed into Biotechnica's building alone, and easily obtained all kinds of confidential information. It’s not reasonable.
How could the network protection of a super giant like Biotechnica be so weak? If it really was, then it would have been infiltrated by Arasaka and Militech long ago.
Of course, it may also be that Sasha's hacking skills are too advanced. But that's also not reasonable. After all, if Sasha was really that strong, then she wouldn't have died because of the fight with the drone.
A powerful hacker is the nemesis of drones and robots. They can easily destroy them with a glance or even turn them over.
And when Sasha appeared, Jiang Heng confirmed this. Animation is animation, but now it's reality, so some things will definitely change.
Otherwise, Mann wouldn’t have gathered three hackers for this mission.
One hacker can’t handle Biotechnica, then three!
But now Kiwi has taken over all of Biotechnica's surveillance probes in just a minute. Isn't that a bit too fast?
But Kiwi's answer the next moment dispelled Jiang Heng's doubts.
“It's the virus software that the employer gave me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to handle those probes alone.”
“I see.” Hearing this, Jiang Heng suddenly understood. The virus software given by Militech, then it's no wonder they could break through Biotechnica's network defenses so quickly.
“Okay, hurry up. Lucy, Sasha, it's up to you. Brother Jiang Heng, you must ensure their safety, safety first!” Mann said.
“No problem, leave it to me.” Jiang Heng said solemnly.
Forget Sasha, he definitely wouldn’t let Lucy be in any danger. Even if he set Biotechnica on fire today, he wouldn’t let Lucy get hurt.
