Corporation Square.
Military Technology Building.
Special Operations Team against Ascension Technology.
This is a recently established team by Military Technology.
Their mission is naturally to gather information about Ascension Technology and research countermeasures against them.
Military Technology has given this team extensive authorization support, clearly showing how much they value Ascension Technology.
And the Six Street Gang's commission also originated from them.
But the Six Street Gang, on which high hopes were placed, disappointed Military Technology.
The Six Street Gang, severely weakened overnight, was too busy with its own affairs, and this collaboration targeting Ascension Technology came to nothing.
All of this was caused by the monster that suddenly appeared last night.
And as of now, Military Technology is completely clueless about the origin of this monster.
"This guy is clearly intentionally targeting the Six Street Gang, and the Six Street Gang just started making moves against Ascension Technology. Is there a connection here..."
The team leader of the Special Operations Team looked at the intelligence regarding the Six Street Gang's tragedy and murmured.
Military Technology had just begun collaborating with the Six Street Gang, having them deal with Ascension Technology.
As a result, they encountered such a tragedy, making it difficult not to suspect Ascension Technology as the mastermind.
But then the team leader shook his head.
"It doesn't seem like it either. This guy just kills people; he didn't even touch the goods in the strongholds. If it's connected to Ascension Technology, it doesn't seem to make sense..."
The team leader had a headache. The intelligence showed that this monster was specifically hunting and killing members of the Six Street Gang. Besides the strongholds involved in the robbery of Ascension Technology, several other strongholds were also attacked.
Furthermore, the goods they had stolen were not moved. If this monster was sent by Ascension Technology, it seems illogical for them to ignore the goods.
And the most crucial point is that the cybernetic enhancements on this monster, and the terrifying power it displayed, are simply not something Ascension Technology could produce.
One must know that in their eyes, Ascension Technology, apart from a few mercenary-turned-guys in the Special Operations Department who have some fame and strength in Night City,
only their pharmaceutical technology is relatively outstanding.
They don't even have their own security force; even their regular transport teams are outsourced Arasaka Security.
It can be said that Arasaka put in a lot of effort to protect this collaborating enterprise.
This is also a point of headache for Military Technology. If it weren't for Arasaka's presence, dealing with Ascension Technology wouldn't be this difficult.
For a company that could only attach itself to Arasaka by relying on Soldier Serum, no one would believe it could produce this kind of technological monster that even Military Technology finds shocking.
If one were to insist on a connection between the two, then the possibility of this monster coming from Arasaka is even higher.
"So whose work is this... Arasaka? Is Arasaka using the incident where Ascension Technology was robbed by the Six Street Gang to test this monster on the Six Street Gang?"
After thinking for a moment, the team leader felt this might be the greatest possibility.
With such advanced weapon technology, there are only a few weapon technology companies in the entire Night City that can produce it.
First, excluding themselves, then the remaining Arasaka and Kang Tao are both possible.
But no matter who it is, this monster is a threat to Military Technology, just like the Cyberpunk before.
At this moment, the display screen in front showed scenes of Warwick's continuous killing, some captured by surveillance, and some recorded by the victims' braindance recording equipment.
And these bloody and brutal scenes increasingly brought a sense of crisis to Military Technology.
First the Cyberpunk, then this monster.
It seems that the major corporations in Night City are all developing rapidly under the push of certain forces, except for themselves.
...
Just as Military Technology was suspecting large corporations like Arasaka and Kang Tao regarding the origin of Warwick.
Other corporations in Night City were equally clueless about Warwick.
They were all speculating whose subordinate was so formidable.
For a time, Warwick's appearance caused undercurrents among the major corporations, with various intelligence departments operating in quick succession.
Attempting to find out where this monster came from.
And at this very moment, the culprit behind all of this was undergoing debugging in Ascension Technology's laboratory.
In the Ascension Technology laboratory.
Warwick was connected with various interfaces. Luoqi and Lao Wei were analyzing its combat data from last night.
At this moment, Warwick did not have the same killing machine-like frenzy as last night.
Although its appearance was still terrifying, its quiet squatting posture made it look somewhat safe, barely.
"The control system is very successful, with no issues. Target acquisition was also very accurate, and there were no friendly fire incidents. Warwick did very well..."
Luoqi was very satisfied with Warwick's performance.
At this moment, Marvin, who had been standing behind the two, secretly observing, heard Luoqi's words. The display screen on his chest turned into a confused expression, and he muttered softly.
"Hearing Mr. L say that, is it actually a good dog? I thought it was a bad dog..."
Marvin was in conflict. Was it the bad dog that scratched him or the good dog praised by Luoqi?
On the other side, Luoqi and Lao Wei were not paying attention to the little drama happening with Marvin; they were just focused on Warwick.
"What a fierce fellow. What do you plan to have it do next? Deal with Military Technology?" Lao Wei asked.
"Not in a hurry. If we deal with Military Technology right now, it's too targeted and easily arouses suspicion.
Let it cause some trouble in Night City first. I believe by then, Military Technology's people will find it themselves." Luoqi shook his head.
Currently, no one in Night City knows Warwick's origin. Luoqi naturally doesn't want them to connect Warwick and Ascension Technology.
But he won't let Warwick just stay in the laboratory like this.
It would be a pity if Warwick, having been redeemed, doesn't get to fully utilize its potential.
Since that's the case, let it continue killing in Night City.
As long as it is active enough in Night City, Military Technology will eventually have ideas about it.
Then, igniting this beast will be enough to give Military Technology a hard time.
[Killing Target Setting: Scavenger, extreme criminals, Cyberpunk, enemies attempting to apprehend it....]
Luoqi set Warwick's killing targets.
Since it's going to cause trouble, might as well clean up these disgusting Scavengers. After all, killing anyone is still killing.
As for other extreme criminals and Cyberpunk, deal with them if encountered.
Of course, Luoqi's top priority target for it is still Scavenger. Other targets are just secondary; hunting Scavenger is the true objective.
And if corporations want to send people to apprehend it, Warwick will naturally include them in its targets as well.
Thus, a beast causing chaos in Night City was truly unleashed.
