Chapter 143 The Truth about Red Ochre
When Leon learned that the genetic fusion of biotechnology could actually enable ordinary mercenaries to gain the power to fight mutated beasts in close combat, he was a little surprised by the research.

Judging from Francis' description, the effect of this gene fusion seems to be much more powerful than he imagined.

No wonder Miles Rosalind was so interested in this project. It turns out that the genetic fusion of biotechnology can enhance the strength of the human body in a way that is not just an ordinary enhancement!

If Ivanov were equipped with a light power armor and thrown into the battlefield, he would definitely be a humanoid weapon capable of killing everyone.

"Mr. Francis, thank you for your understanding. Please go down and have a rest. I will arrange for you to visit Anna's surgical laboratory tomorrow morning."

Leon said that since everything had been discussed almost completely, it was time for Francis to leave. After all, Leon didn't have the habit of inviting people to have a midnight snack.

"Okay, Mr. Leon, I wish you a sweet dream."

After saying that, Francis left the office accompanied by Morgan and Lucy, and Leon was the only one left here again.

After thoroughly figuring out the next layout ideas, Leon instructed the AI ​​White Queen in the room to call President Miles.

When the call was connected, Li Ang did not waste time on small talk and directly said:

"Mr. President, our company has a new technological product called polymer. I believe you will be very interested in it."

……

……

The Badlands, outside of Night City.

The sky was filled with fine yellow sand, swept by the raging Hadap sandstorm, tightly covering the camp of the Luandao Society. The howling hurricane swept across the evil land, as if the end of the world had come.

At this moment, V, Panam and others are still trapped here and cannot escape for the time being.

But the good news is that there is enough food and water in this camp, at least enough to sustain these people for a week or two.

Moreover, there were no problems with the engine device outside. This was all thanks to V not using a gun to shoot at those members of the Luan Dao Society, thus avoiding damage to the electrical equipment.

Otherwise, these unlucky guys trapped in the camp by the sandstorm would have to walk back and forth in the dark every day.

"It looks like Ha Dabo won't disappear anytime soon. According to the worst-case scenario, it will probably last for a day or two."

V frowned as he looked through the glass windows at the dim world outside. The sky was filled with fine sand like yellow fog, covering everything around him in a hazy blur. The visibility of the road ahead was extremely low.

Just when V was thinking about whether to send a message to Leon to report the situation here, Jack suddenly ran over and said to him: "V, Thor is awake!"

"Let's go and take a look."

Soon, V and Jack came to the other side of the room. Thor, who was slumped in the chair, and Nash, who was tied up, were all under the strict surveillance of Panam.

After a while, seeing Thor gradually waking up from his coma, Panam immediately went up to him anxiously and asked:

"Thor, shouldn't you be staying at the Adecado camp? Why were you captured here by Nash, the leader of the Luan Dao Society?"

Looking at Panam's familiar face, and the unfamiliar mercenaries V and Jack, Thor was too lazy to think about what was going on. After taking a few breaths, he slowly responded:
"I originally planned to sign a contract agreement with the biotechnology company and let the people of the Adecardo family transport goods for the company from now on."

"Everything was settled, but before leaving the camp, I suddenly met a wanderer who escaped from the laboratory."

"He said he was a survivor of the Red Ochre Tribe and hoped that I could take him away from this troubled place. I felt compassion for him, so I took him in the car." When they heard this, everyone had roughly understood the whole story.

This was probably because Thor's plan to rescue people was exposed, and the biotechnology company specially sent people from the Luan Dao Society to clean up the mess.

If you want to cooperate with the company, you have to become their black gloves. Now the black gloves not only don't help deal with things, but also rescued their experimental subjects. No wonder Thor suffered such a disaster!

"What about the man from the Red Ochre Tribe? Where is he now?" V asked.

If the rescued wanderer was still alive, he should know a lot about the inside story of the biotechnology laboratory, but they did not find this person in this camp.

"He is dead."

"Nash caught up with him and shot him in the head, then stuffed him into the trunk of Panam's SUV."

When mentioning this wanderer, Thor's eyes revealed great sadness and regret.

I don’t know whether he was regretting not protecting the wanderer or regretting his meddling that led to such a disaster.

When Panam heard that it was the bastard Nash who stuffed the dead body into the trunk of her car, she wished she could shoot Nash in the head right away.

"Hold!"

Panam kicked Nash hard with his thick-soled leather boots, simply venting his anger.

The moment he learned that an important witness had been killed, V shook his head in disappointment. If no one told him the specific situation in the biotechnology laboratory, he would have no way of deciding what to do next.

"Did that person say anything to you before he died?" V asked relentlessly.

He didn't want to miss any opportunity to find out the truth.

In response to V's question, Thor thought carefully and continued:

"In the car, he told me a lot about human experiments, gene fusion, and drug testing by biotechnology companies. He also said that many people from the Red Ochre Tribe died at the hands of Joanne."

"Joanne specializes in using homeless people to test genetic drugs. Most of the red ochre homeless people died during the drug testing process."

When V heard the familiar name "Joanne", he immediately thought of the female director of the company whom he had seen on TV, Joanne Koch!

She is the technical director of biotechnology and holds a very high position in the company. She can be considered one of the top corporate elites in Night City.

I didn't expect that she would be one of the main planners of this incident.

"So, you and the wanderer were both attacked by the Luan Dao Society, but Nash only killed the wanderer and spared you?"

"I wonder why."

V's question immediately aroused Panam's vigilance. She was also very curious why Nash left Thor alone.

Could it be that... these two people have reached some secret cooperation that cannot be revealed!
