"Hunter Plan... third generation aircraft... dangerous wanderers, fifth generation aircraft... Eureka Raiders..."
"Alaska... Anchorage Base..."
Jenkins looked at the intelligence documents collected by Agent Carter with a serious expression.
He thought he was just catching a petty thief, but unexpectedly poked a hornet’s nest.
"V, what do you think about the authenticity of the information Carter brought back?"
As his newly acquired capable officer, Jenkins was very optimistic about V’s prospects and prepared to support him.
"Since it can be casually mentioned by the bartender, even if it’s true, its importance should not be high, but..."
V initially wanted to say that the intelligence wasn’t very valuable.
"Given their mental state, it’s hard to say."
Having communicated with the players, V felt that these people’s brains could not be comprehended by normal reasoning, and their behavioral logic was completely unpredictable.
They were even closer to the term "lunatics" than the Vortex Gang.
Jenkins was satisfied with V’s response. He pulled out a few more pieces of intelligence, whose content was mostly similar, essentially analyzing and probing the wanderers appearing in the bar.
Some information was gathered by other counterintelligence agents, while some was leaked by insiders after other companies obtained it. Get full chapters from novel·fire·net
"Either these people received uniform dialogue training, or they are telling the truth, but it’s not important enough to be spread casually."
The mercenaries in the bar had no awareness of confidentiality, and they all gave roughly the same answers to inquiries.
After all, there are very few people in the gaming circle who haven’t watched Pacific Rim.
"Whether the intelligence is true or not, we can now confirm that this group of wanderers has a stable base camp, and they are fully capable of conducting large-scale weapons research. They are a wanderer group that rivals the Meta Group."
Jenkins said while holding the photo of the mecha maid.
"Whether this so-called dangerous wanderer is indeed a third-generation prototype, we’ll find out once the fifth generation they mentioned comes out."
"I have a feeling these are just abandoned prototype failures, being recklessly displayed as exhibits to forewarn their real flagship products."
Only the cyber world would take humanoid mech weapons for granted.
On one hand, their tech tree is ; on the other hand, the world has a fervent pursuit of bionic human forms.
If it were elsewhere, who would dare to develop such flashy equipment, waiting to be lambasted by design institute folks?
V: "Are we going to leave them alone? This group of people probably won’t stay quietly in Santo Domingo."
She liked them, but not enough to affect her loyalty to Huang Ban.
It’s worth noting that Valerie’s parents were also mid-level employees at Huang Ban, and they died a couple of years ago.
Now that Horizon Corporation has acquired part of Military Science’s shares, its inclination has become apparent.
The friends of Military Science are the enemies of Huang Ban, especially in a place like Night City.
"But the Trauma Team has already proven that conventional mercenary groups can’t handle these people; we can only use other means..."
Jenkins pondered for a long time and asked
"Do you know any street hackers? Let them try."
Such matters definitely can’t be handled by Huang Ban’s hackers; it would be too disgraceful, and could easily be exploited by Military Science to intervene.
"But I remember they have hackers, and quite skilled ones."
"So don’t find just anyone; find the experts among hackers."
Jenkins placed ten thousand cash on the table.
"Go find the Voodoo Gang, have them breach the opponent’s data fortress. I want all the intelligence inside, anything at all, the more the better."
"But remember to keep it confidential; don’t let the special operations department know."
"Voodoo Gang, huh..."
Back at the office, Lin Miao couldn’t believe the players had dug up something again in the sewer, and this time it was in the Taiping Continent. Last time it was Blue Eyes, this time it’s the Voodoo Gang.
He realized why those game developers loved hiding a bunch of Easter eggs in random corners—these players really had a knack for finding them.
Normal people don’t have so much time and energy.
"What do you think of this matter?"
Santo Domingo was a bit far away, with Haywood in between. Rationally, Lin Miao knew the Voodoo Gang wasn’t an ideal target to initiate a conflict.
Yet emotionally, he felt this group of Brother Ni’s compatriots had to be dealt with.
Maybe after taking down these guys, he would understand why he found them so annoying.
Lucy, lying horizontally on the balcony basking in the sun, stretched lazily, her perfect figure entirely exposed under the sunlight, her cool white skin making her neck and legs look even longer.
She turned sideways, her expression like a lazy cat.
"My opinion is to avoid trouble, let Internet Supervisor worry about the Black Wall issue. What’s that got to do with us?"
"If you want, we can call Internet Supervisor right now, report the Voodoo Gang’s illegal internet activities."
The sky was falling, but the tall ones held it up. The company and Internet Supervisor weren’t in a hurry, so why should she be?
Lucy always opposed Lin Miao getting involved in these affairs.
"But I know even if I oppose, it’ll be of no use, right?"
Lin Miao looked at Lucy; she was the only competent hacker he had, while the other two players were like the comedy duo of Peng Bo-r Ba and Ba Bo-r Peng.
Hacker talent was very scarce among players, as this profession was rare even in reality.
Even other network engineers who knew how to create network viruses might not choose the hacker profession in the game, nor could they integrate as quickly as Pandora and her team.
