Chapter 167 - Chapter 59: Sillan Town (Part 3)

"Alright, just come after three-thirty." The boss nodded and bid farewell with a smile.

Pan'an and V went out together, returned to the car, and drove off into the distance.

"Don't go too far, the stable wireless transmission range of this camera is only five kilometers." Qiwei reminded.

"Got it." Pan'an didn't plan to go far; just drove to the entrance of Sillan Town, turned toward the wilderness, and took the dirt road.

After two kilometers, she parked the car in the shade behind a small hill: "Here we are; we used to observe cars on the highway from here. It's hidden and cooler in the afternoon."

Qiwei opened her laptop, connected to the internet, operated for a while, and nodded: "No problem, the equipment is normal... V placed it perfectly, with a commanding view, overlooking from the side."

"Haha, having Sianwistan is really something. I suspect if I punched that boss in the back, he'd just think it was a backache when he sat back down."

V boasted proudly.

Pan'an also praised: "It's damn fast, faster than Fenrir... I could still see a shadow with that guy, but with your move just now, I didn't realize until you were back in your seat!"

"Of course, I haven't even installed any muscle enhancement, reinforced tendons, or Train King, just swapped my original parts for sturdy and durable synthetic ones.

Once I get those implants, I feel like I can run faster than Sword in the Stone."

V finished, and Qiwei simply said calmly: "Stop bragging, go watch the highway, and see what Biotechnica is driving."

"Got it~" V pushed open the car door, stood by the little hill, and her eyes automatically zoomed in to observe the highway in the distance.

Pan'an looked at her with envy: "Did you get new prosthetic eyes?"

"You bet? Ten times zoom from Qilu Company's eagle eyes, with scanning plugins, can even scan the car's manufacturing date." V chuckled with satisfaction.

If it weren't for Mercer's urgent mission, she would've shown off in Haywood District; just these premium Qilu Company prosthetic eyes would make those Street Kids drool with envy.

Pan'an could only take a binocular to look since her prosthetic eyes weren't as high-end and useful.

After waiting for a while, nearing three o'clock, V suddenly spoke: "A Behemoth is here... Biotechnica's logo, no mistake, they drove a Behemoth over!"

Behemoth is a heavy armored transport vehicle developed for military technology, not allowed for civilian sale, only supplied to authorized corporations and governing entities.

With its excellent 3.8 cm thick armor and ample storage space sufficient to transport a platoon or an entire tank, it became many companies' top choice for road transport vehicles.

V suddenly found it tricky: "I've also checked the terrain along the way... We can only intercept this big guy from the highway, need to do it quickly, grab the goods, and go. It's not that easy..."

"Indeed, flipping over such a big guy requires anti-tank mines..." Pan'an clicked her tongue, feeling it wouldn't be easy.

Sure, you might turn this vehicle over with heavy firepower, but if the medication samples inside get damaged, wouldn't it all be for nothing?

So, it's best to think of a way to stop it... But how to stop it?

This is a highway outside Night City; after the heist, you need to disappear into the wilderness, circle back, and pass the checkpoint...

Or resolve the vehicle at the checkpoint? In this case, just dash into Night City, switch vehicles quickly, and transport the goods to Adcardo.

"The vehicle entered the town, lost sight, what do we do? Go take a look? Or ignore it?"

V said.

Qiwei just kept focused on the camera feed and said: "While you guys went drinking, I hacked several street cameras, so no need for us to go over, just watch the camera feed to see what happens on the street."

V gave a thumbs up: "Not bad!"

"It's Mercer's fast-cracking program that's impressive," Qiwei admitted truthfully.

Most street hackers are just script kiddies, all they need to do is plug in a program chip into their access port, or load the program into the port and send it out when encountering an enemy, being a tool for computing.

What she does better than those Street Kids is she at least knows what program she's using, and can slightly expand its usage. For instance, right now, she connected hastily hacked cameras to her computer.

"Biotechnica's people entered the bar."

Qiwei suddenly announced.

Pan'an and V both leaned in beside her, craning their necks to watch the screen.

At that moment, a senior employee from Biotechnica, dressed in a suit, pushed open the bar door and walked straight toward the counter.

It was a woman, Qiwei zoomed in the hidden camera feed, captured and sent the images and information to Mercer.

Mercer quickly sent a message back to Qiwei.

[Mercer: Give me a moment, I'll find out who she is.]

[Qiwei: I'll send the entire video to you soon, so you can go through it.]

[Mercer: Okay, stay safe.]

[Qiwei: Don't worry, we're being careful.]

[Mercer: Good.]

Qiwei closed the chat frame displayed in her prosthetic eye and continued to observe the feed.

After waiting for a while, suddenly, a man with a worn-out outfit and one hand painted red came down from the bar's second floor.

Qiwei zoomed in and captured him too, but Pan'an suddenly spoke out: "Wait! I think... I know him!"
