The Whirlwind Gang that invaded the Ascension Technology Industrial Park was annihilated.
Meanwhile, at the Municipal Center.
At the same time the Whirlwind Gang attacked the Ascension Technology Industrial Park, Ascension Technology's corporate headquarters also received unwelcome guests.
A large number of Night City mercenaries swarmed towards Ascension Technology headquarters.
Their goal was to break into Ascension Technology, find and destroy the core server of the Ascension Network, and eliminate the core figures of Ascension Technology.
Ascension Technology core area.
Michael brought his two remaining teammates here.
The sound of a hacker came through the team's communication.
"According to the information just obtained from the intrusion, this is a hidden area, and the Ascension Network server is likely hidden here."
"How much time do we have left?" Michael asked.
"We must retreat within five minutes. This place is too close to Arasaka Tower, and reinforcements could arrive at any time."
Michael's team only managed to rush in here by using the cover of other mercenary teams directly confronting the corporate security.
Now, a large number of mercenary teams are helping them buy time, and time is extremely tight for them.
"Then search quickly." Captain Michael issued the order.
Michael then arrived in front of a room door.
"Special Operations Department." Michael read out the sign on the door.
He signaled his other teammates to be cautious and on guard, and only after they had their weapons ready did he instruct the hacker.
"Can you open this door?"
"...Hmm... Yes, the access control here surprisingly has no permission encryption, strange."
The hacker muttered, but still signaled Michael and the others to get ready before opening the door to the Special Operations Department.
However, Michael, who had already prepared for battle, found that the so-called Special Operations Department was actually empty inside.
The empty room made Michael pause for a moment.
"Strange."
He also muttered, but time was tight, and finding no abnormalities, he could only continue to check other rooms.
What he didn't expect was that room after room was completely empty.
Michael began to suspect if they had arrived on an abandoned floor.
But the signs on these doors were all for important departments.
Special Operations Department, Counterintelligence, and even the main server room.
All were empty.
This was too illogical.
Michael sensed something was wrong.
But he still went to the last room.
"Laboratory"
With his weapon ready, Michael opened the door to the laboratory.
Just when he thought this place would also be empty, it seemed the result was not so.
Most of the room had been cleared out, but there were still small areas piled with quite a few things.
And a blue robot was tidying up these things; this robot was Marvin.
Nowadays, the entire core department area of Ascension Technology had all been moved onto the Black Star, and the laboratory had too many things, making it the last to be moved.
And Marvin was tragically left behind last, tidying up the things in the laboratory.
Seeing the laboratory door opened, the robot's camera head looked towards the direction of the doorway.
Marvin stopped his movement of moving things, stood up, and waved at Michael.
"Oh, friend, I'm very sorry, the laboratory is now closed." The screen on Marvin's chest displayed a smiley face.
"What's going on?" Michael looked at the scene before him, his mind a little slow to process.
A robot tidying up a laboratory, this scene was indeed a bit strange.
However, Michael hadn't forgotten his mission. He was looking for servers and core members, which were clearly not here.
Looking at the seemingly non-threatening robot, Michael didn't attack immediately but instead scanned the entire laboratory to see if his targets were there, as this was the only room that still had things in it.
But he didn't see his targets; instead, he saw something that made cold sweat break out.
It was a mechanical monster with blue teeth and sharp claws.
"Werewolf, how is that possible!" Michael swallowed.
He recognized this guy in front of him.
Warwick, who had turned the entire Night City upside down, had long been a legend in the underground mercenary world.
Everyone wanted to be like this Werewolf, capable of inflicting heavy losses on Military Technology and Arasaka and still escaping unharmed.
But Michael could never have imagined seeing this monster here.
Marvin noticed Michael's gaze and said with a smile.
"Do you like it? Actually, I quite like it too. Mr. Viktor was afraid I'd be too bored tidying up alone, so he specifically left it here to keep me company.
But if you want to play with it, try not to get too close."
However, Marvin's words did not relax Michael; instead, they made him even more afraid. Who would play with a monster, please?
"Excuse me."
The moment Michael saw Warwick, he knew the situation was bad.
Seeing it still squatting there quietly, he decided to seize the time to slip away first.
Saying this, Michael took a few steps back and turned to leave.
But the instant he turned, two bullets flew over instantly.
The powerful kinetic energy instantly pierced his knees, and Michael uncontrollably fell to the ground.
"Damn."
He looked back in horror, only to see the originally harmless robot now holding a handgun.
And his originally smiling expression had turned slightly dejected.
"I thought you would chat with me a bit longer. This is really a shame."
He walked towards Michael step by step.
And Michael's other two teammates also quickly picked up their weapons and shot at Marvin, but it was useless.
Seeing Marvin getting closer and closer, Michael quickly called for the hacker's support.
But he despairingly discovered that all his network connections had been cut off.
And the hacker outside was also in a frantic state.
Ascension Technology's network was clearly extremely easy to infiltrate at first, but now it had suddenly become an impenetrable copper wall and iron fortress.
"Run!"
Seeing this, Michael was completely desperate and quickly ordered his two teammates.
Facing this strange robot and the Werewolf behind him, ready to move, he knew he was absolutely no match.
And the two teammates, receiving Michael's order, didn't hesitate either, immediately leaving Michael behind and escaping.
Looking at the two who fled, Marvin wasn't in a hurry to chase, but instead came to Michael first and finished him off completely.
And Warwick, who was beside him, seeing the two escape, became restless, letting out a mechanical roar, wanting to chase after them.
But he was stopped by Marvin.
"Hey, little doggy, don't forget, they said I could go out and play today. These two people should be left for me. You stay here obediently for now."
Stopping Warwick from snatching his prey, Marvin looked at the two who had escaped from Ascension Technology, seeming a little excited.
From his creation until now, he had always stayed in this laboratory. Today was a rare opportunity, and he naturally wouldn't miss it.
