Chapter 148 Leaf Buds! Plant Polymer Weapons!

However, to be on the safe side, V still used his artificial eye to carefully scan the opponent's situation.

The final result was the same as he had guessed. Ivanov was only transplanted with subcutaneous armor, and there was no other cyberprosthetic body that could be invaded!

"Shit... Johnny, we're in trouble now."

When V realized that he couldn't use his hacking skills to hack into the opponent, he suddenly lost the confidence to fight against the monster Ivanov.

He is not an iron-headed person. Of course, he would not rush forward and die when he knows he has no chance of winning. There is absolutely no point in doing so.

Just as V was thinking about how to get out and run away with Panam and Jack, he suddenly heard the roar of a mechanical engine.

Immediately, V looked up and saw a black hovercraft that had stopped above Ivanov at some point.

"Shit! Our company's reinforcements have arrived!"

Mann, who was hiding behind a Behemoth truck, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the military-grade Scorpion tail hovercraft marked with "LA Company".

I have to say that the support from LA company was quite fast. Mann had just made a phone call to call people, and reinforcements arrived in less than five minutes.

The support came so fast that Mann thought that LA Company had built a hovercraft base nearby. He had just finished drawing lots and calling for people when company soldiers arrived in minutes.

Hearing the engine sound from the Scorpion hovercraft, Ivanov raised his head and looked up at the sky with a grin, staring at the aircraft that might land at any time.

Soon, a black unidentified object was suddenly thrown down from the hovercraft, and the shadow like a cannonball quickly attacked Ivanov.

After scanning with the prosthetic eye device, V discovered that the thing was actually a person wrapped in power armor. LA Company was actually using people as cannonballs to hit Ivanov!

Just as V's brain was in a state of shutdown due to the scene in front of him, the soldier in power armor fell to the ground with a thud, creating a huge hole in the ground.

Ivanov, who was quick-witted, had already moved his body to dodge the powerful, titanic blow. It was not until the dust in the pit disappeared that Ivanov could see clearly who was coming.

He was a soldier wearing LA's T60 power armor, and on his left hand was a sleeve similar to a launcher.

"V, it looks like you can't handle this monster, so the boss asked me to help you. Just stand there and watch the show."

A familiar voice came through the holographic telephone device, and V immediately recognized the owner of the voice. He was Leon's number one bodyguard Morgan Blackhand!
"Morgan, is this also part of Mr. Leon's plan?!" V felt that everything before his eyes was happening too coincidentally and too interconnected.

V felt that Leon seemed to have anticipated that he would use Chapter 6 to wipe out the Biotech Company's power armor soldiers, and that the Black Wall would release Ivanov.

And then comes the present moment. Ivanov, who no one can deal with, is defeated by a heroic figure who suddenly appears. V only often sees such cliché plots in third-rate magazines.

But when V actually witnessed these things happening, he only felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if he was being manipulated by the LA company like a puppet.

And everything is under Li Ang's control!

In response to V's question, Morgan simply smiled and said:

"That's what I think is happening, but I don't have time to chat with you right now. This guy has gone mad. I have to deal with the situation as soon as possible."

After saying that, Morgan Blackhand controlled the power armor and stepped forward, walking towards Ivanov.

"Be careful, Morgan! That guy's subcutaneous armor is very thick. You'd better use missiles to bombard him, otherwise you won't be able to do anything to him."

Seeing the unarmed Morgan Blackhand just walking towards Ivanov with an attitude of hand-to-hand combat, V couldn't help but say with concern.

With just this ordinary power armor, there is no way he can defeat this genetic monster Ivanov!

"Shut up and watch the show."

As Morgan Blackhand finished his words, he suddenly stretched out his left hand and fired a green spherical bullet from the sleeve device.

Bang!

The spherical bullet hit Ivanov's body softly, failing to cause any substantial harm to him. All that remained on his body was a pool of green mucus and a few tiny plant fibers.

Seeing the soldier in front of him firing a toy bullet at him for no apparent reason, Ivanov was immediately enraged by Morgan, who was taking advantage of the power of others.

Falling from a high altitude, and fighting one-on-one, but this is all he can do? How ridiculous!

"Fuck! You're going to hit it with this thing?"

V and Ivanov, who were standing by, were both speechless by Morgan's mysterious actions. Just when V was about to complain that Morgan was crazy, Ivanov suddenly moved!
After seeing that Morgan Blackhand seemed to have no other means of attack, Ivanov pounced on him unscrupulously.

His huge body was wrapped in a gust of wind. At this moment, Ivanov was like a fired flesh cannonball. If Morgan did not retreat in time, he would be torn into pieces in an instant.

However, just as Ivanov was about to run in front of Morgan, Morgan simply pressed the sleeve device on his left hand.

The spherical bullet that Morgan just fired at Ivanov was actually a controllable plant weapon composed of polymers and mutant plants.

This thing is called leaf bud. It is a mutant plant technology from the Vavilov Institute and can be used as some kind of biological weapon.

In an instant, several white floating tentacles popped out of the sleeve device, and the mucus and plant fibers remaining on Ivanov's body suddenly attacked Ivanov as if they had received some kind of signal.

I saw a leaf bud-like object made of mucus and plant fiber, which drilled into Ivanov's seven orifices as nimbly as a small snake.

His eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth were penetrated by these tiny and silky leaf buds, and eventually the polymer leaf buds quickly invaded Ivanov's brain nerve center.

Ivanov, who was so aggressive just now, now has his eyes turning white because of the leaf buds that have drilled into his brain. The mutated plants are rapidly gnawing at and occupying his brain.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Ivanov howled in despair and pain. He wished he could stick his hands into his brain and dig out the leaf buds that had messed up his mind.

But no matter how Ivanov hit and tore his facial flesh, the piercing pain still could not be effectively relieved. A few seconds later, the leaf buds nourished by Ivanov's brain suddenly broke through his skull, and at this moment Ivanov's head was divided into six parts like a blooming petal of flesh and blood.

It was a hideous and horrific bloody scene, and the stench of blood quickly spread along the wind on the evil land. Everyone felt that their stomachs were undergoing a cruel test.

Fortunately, these soldiers were well-trained and no one vomited on the spot. They just frowned and their legs were slightly weak.

"Is this guy dead?"

Meredith finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ivanov's head turned into petals of flesh and blood. But when she saw that he was still standing there motionless, she couldn't help but wonder if this monster was still alive.

"I think so. Don't move for now and wait and see how the situation develops." Mann remained cautious.

At this moment, Joanne's mood was very complicated. On the one hand, she was glad that her life was saved, but on the other hand, she felt sorry for Ivanov.

After all, this is a genetic warrior created by a biotechnology company at the cost of countless funds and resources. If Ivanov's temperament can be controlled well, he can become a pure human killing weapon.

Then biotechnology will definitely have its own place in the mercenary market!
Maybe President Miles of the New America will pay the bill to Biotechnology and inject this genetic drug into those soldiers.

But all these beautiful visions were shattered by the special launching device in Morgan's hand.

The genetic warriors they were so proud of were killed so easily by the gadgets of LA company!
"V, how was this show? I hope you were not disappointed." Morgan took off the armor on his head and walked towards V with a smile.

"Not bad, it looks like Mr. Leon is going to make a fortune again." V looked at Ivanov, who looked miserable and scary, and couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the device in Morgan's hand.

This is even more deadly than his mantis sword!
Just when V thought the matter was over, he suddenly discovered that Ivanov, whose head had been split into petals, was actually moving behind Morgan Blackhand.

"Morgan! Watch out!"

V shouted loudly, pulled out his gun and fired several shots at Ivanov's head. This time, Ivanov, who was hit by the bullet, was like mud. After shaking for a while, he fell to the ground completely.

"Fuck... why did you want to beat him to death? I have this guy under my control. It's really unnecessary."

"He moved behind you just now. I was worried that something might happen to you." V didn't understand why Morgan said that he was wasting his time.

Looking at Ivanov, whose head exploded and who was as dead as could be, Morgan Blackhand sighed, "Ye Ya can directly control this unconscious life form through the polymer device."

"The only drawback is that this thing is very fragile after being controlled by Ye Ya. It can be killed with a single shot to the head."

V was stunned by Morgan's explanation. He gained a new understanding of the technological strength of LA Company. If this thing was used in war, it would be unimaginable!

"This... this thing can also control people's behavior and consciousness?"

V suddenly realized that he was not here to save people, but to see this black technology product exhibition!

[Morgan was ordered to come here to show off. I bet he must have a video recording device on him. Maybe everything here is on the projection screen of the LA company.]

Johnny Silverhand appeared, shook his head at Morgan, and said, "Look at his smug look. I guess he has been hiding for a long time, just waiting for something to happen to you."

[Now the work is done, and the product of this company called Ye Ya has also made a good show. Now it’s time for Boss Li Ang to make a fortune, and everything will be fine.]

"If this is how it ends, it would be the best possible ending. It's a pity that we still couldn't rescue those wanderers this time."

V sighed in his heart. He knew that after his operation failed, he would not be able to take the victims away.

Sure enough, after seeing Morgan Blackhand come forward to settle everything, Joanne came out with a smile on her face and said to Morgan:

"Mr. Morgan, thank you for your help. I will pay a large sum of money to the LA company. Now please take all these people back."

"Whether it's on the surface or on the dark side."

After saying that, Joanne glanced at V with contempt. Her meaning was obvious: this group of people should be sent back to where they came from, one by one.

"Sorry, Ms. Joanne, you have to go back with us." Morgan smiled and signaled the other party to look in the direction of the hovercraft.

Soon, a team of elite MAX-TAC soldiers wearing light combat armor and tactical helmets stepped out of the landed Scorpion-tailed Lion hovercraft.

They are the most elite terrorist squad in Night City, and most of the equipment and financial support they currently receive comes from LA companies.

"Ms. Joanne, you are suspected of conducting illegal human experiments, which seriously violates the laws of Night City. I am now officially notifying you that you are under arrest!"

The person who spoke was Dallas Foster, the captain of this mobile team, who was usually responsible for the team's combat missions.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dallas took out an arrest warrant stamped by Night City City Hall. Lucius's signature was also on the document.

It is obvious that the LA company was able to prepare such comprehensive information, which clearly showed that they had planned it in advance!
Joanne's eyes widened in anger. She looked at V, then at the arrest warrant in Dallas' hand, and immediately realized that it was the LA company that was targeting her, which led to today's farce.

But what Joanne couldn't understand was why Li Ang would deliberately mess with her. She had never offended anyone in the LA company!
"No, you can't arrest me. I'm the director of biotechnology. How could I possibly conduct human experiments that violate the law? This is completely nonsense."

Joanne tried her best to stay calm, but she soon saw Panam and Jack not far away, who had come out with the red ochre wanderer from the laboratory.

Each of those wanderers had different scars on their bodies, and the only thing they had in common was the resentful looks they cast at Joanne.

If there weren't soldiers from the Terrorist Squad here, they would have rushed up and eaten Joanne alive.

However, although they couldn't kill Joanne, they could curse at her and expose the crimes of biotechnology.

Facing the vicious looks and curses from the vagrants, Joanne simply turned a deaf ear to them and said coldly to Dallas:

"I need to contact the biotechnology company. I believe that it won't be long before you take back this useless arrest warrant!"
