Faced with these small armored units with virtually no weaknesses, the best solution is to deploy anti-armor weapons, or to conduct precise fire coverage, like Erebos using mortars to take out these tin shells from afar.

But unfortunately, this infiltration operation doesn't allow weapons, so we can only rely on our cybernetic bodies for combat, and winning easily is not going to happen.

"Withdraw?"

Riding on a light power armor, trying to pry open the opponent's helmet with a dagger, Shui Yue was somewhat dissatisfied.

"What about our loot?"

They have always been the ones robbing others, since when do they leave obtained items behind for NPCs?

Why doesn't this game have an additional backpack system?

It's so bothersome that they can't put a small bag in a big bag, carrying dozens of health potions and eighteen weapons.

Wildman: "The mission rewards are enough. We've saved over twenty people, it's not a small amount."

20 NPCs, including the rescue rewards, that's 10K, plus the new job class reward from the mission, it's absolutely fantastic.

"Damn!"

Shui Yue was grabbed by the power armor soldier by the collar and slammed to the ground, but Shui Yue slipped out of his jacket like a snake shedding its skin, escaping from their grip.

"Just you wait, next time you won't be so lucky."

After leaving those harsh words, he dropped a thermal smoke grenade on the spot, covering his own tracks.

When the power armor soldier rushed into the smoke, Shui Yue's figure was nowhere to be seen.

And besides Shui Yue, players in fights with Zeta Security elsewhere also showed signs of retreating.

The deputy minister immediately realized what these guys intended to do.

"They're trying to run, quick, pursue! Seal the gates on each floor, don't let any of them get away!"

It's already embarrassing enough that they managed to sneak into their building and cause havoc. If they also manage to escape, Zeta Technology would lose face entirely.

It would be ideal to capture a few Horizon Mercenaries alive and have them testify in court against Horizon Corporation for stealing Zeta Technology's secret data. Even if it doesn't ruin them, it would cause significant loss.

But would the players let them have their way?

Not only haven't they been caught, even if captured, they wouldn't reveal any information.

Brother Ni stood at the breach smashed open by the giant, looking down.

38 stories high, over 150 meters, the howling wind pouring into the building is enough to make one unsteady, let alone fear of heights that's innate, just standing here would make one's legs weak.

Standing amidst towering buildings, with cars flowing endlessly and people looking like sesame seeds, it's a poignant feeling of seeing all the mountains below.

Who knows what kind of power symbolism looking down from the top of the hundred-story Huangban Tower must be. No wonder everyone in Night City is vying to climb to its power-symbolic top.

"They're too many."

When Exchange Coupon walked up behind Brother Ni, he was already injured in multiple places, the bulletproof plate on his chest shattered like dregs.

Brother Ni tilted his head outwards toward him.

"Wanna try?"

Exchange Coupon grinned.

"Bring it on."

A dozen Zeta Security guards charged from the rear corridor, not even wasting a word before opening fire.

That elusive Bat-freak had already taken down dozens of them, there's no need for negotiation anymore.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

Bullets rained down, but Brother Ni and Exchange Coupon didn't turn back. Instead, they spread their hands, letting gravity pull them off the edge and into a free fall towards the ground.

"What?"

This seemingly suicidal act stunned the security who then rushed to the edge to look down, immediately cursing aloud.

Feeling the fierce wind against his face, Brother Ni pulled a lever with his right thumb, and suddenly an airbag-like device ejected from his sides. Infused by the strong airflow, the soft airbags quickly inflated and hardened, transforming into a wing-like glider.

It not only increased the lift area from the airflow but also provided horizontal acceleration, giving Brother Ni a chance to glide forward.

On the other hand, Exchange Coupon's gliding device was more standard, not as exaggerated as in comics and movies, generally modeled after the new Batman-like wingsuit, both quickly escaped the encircling drone units through airflow.

But are they capable of smoothly using the wingsuit to escape through the skyscraper-filled city?

The answer is obviously not.

The new gadgets they bought from Dog Town weren't even thoroughly tested.

"Ah!"

Brother Ni, failing to adjust in time, crashed directly through a window into a small company's office, destroying a pile of desks and computers, scaring the daylights out of the working staff who thought it was a terrorist attack on their own company.

Exchange Coupon didn't fare much better, crashing like a cockroach into a huge billboard, losing consciousness.

"Ugh…"

Lin Miao held his face helplessly. Everything was perfect up until now, how did it all fall apart in the end?

"Heh heh…."

Lucy couldn't help but cover her mouth, laughing. No matter how many times, the players' reckless spirit always made her laugh uncontrollably.

"Now that the people have been rescued, Zeta Technology shouldn't dare to continue their research for a while, right?"

Theft isn't robbery, and experimental data is not a unique treasure; it's not like Zeta Technology lost everything just because the players stole it.

Lucy felt that now having rescued Anne and the children abused in experiments, with their testimonies, Horizon Corporation's subsequent public opinion campaign should hit Zeta Technology hard, forcing them to rein in.

After all, experimenting on the human brain is indefensible.

Lin Miao didn't say anything.

Because after a year of dealings, he understood very well what a corporation is.

But some things have to be done, even knowing it's futile, it has to be done for people to see.

The next day, Zeta Technology accused Horizon Corporation of using unfair competition methods to steal company secrets with irrefutable evidence, demanding 10 billion Orokin in compensation.

Correspondingly, Lin Miao presented all the evidence in court, including Zeta Technology using human brains to create computing centers, which led to last month's AI incident in Dog Town, and even conducting biological experiments on orphans now—outrageous acts. Horizon Corporation only acted out of humanitarian concerns to rescue the victimized children.

As expected, the evidence caused a huge stir, provoking severe public criticism against Zeta Technology, with several protest marches even taking place.

Meanwhile, Zeta Technology's stock soared 57% in a week, with more than seventeen giant enterprises scrambling to extend olive branches seeking cooperation, and a torrent of capital rushing in.

Yes

I did it

So what?

What can you do to me?

Morality is just a plaything in my hands.
