Chapter 49 Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living!

Although Miles holds a high position in Militech, this is now the final battle between Militech and Arasaka.

As long as it can bring solid strength to the company, it is worth it even if it means sacrificing some of the company's senior executives.

Besides, there is no deep hatred between LA Company and Military Technology, so even if Miles is sent there as a hostage, it is no big deal.

As long as Morgan Blackhand completes the mission and can return safely to the LA company, Miles can still leave safely.

Military technology has calculated this account very clearly.

"It's settled. That bitch Meredith was haggling with me for so long before she agreed. Wouldn't it have been settled earlier?"

"Those bastards at Militech love to act pretentiously. If it weren't for Ultra, I wouldn't bother with them."

Johnny Silverhand cursed with a bit of temper.

"Okay, you can go back and wait for news. I'll have Morgan Blackhand meet up with you later."

After that, Leon handed a microchip to Johnny.

This biochip is a vision-sharing chip modified based on the first aid team chip. When Johnny installs the chip, Leon can also see what Johnny sees through the glasses.

In addition, Leon can communicate with Johnny, which is very convenient to use. Even if Johnny is injured, the chip can automatically release repair factors for first aid.

Although the chip cannot completely heal the wound, as long as the injured area is not large or deep, it can at least stop excessive blood loss from the wound.

Sometimes, Johnny Silverhand is indeed unreliable in many aspects, and he is also a scumbag with poor personal ethics, but his loyalty to his friends and lovers is indeed beyond reproach.

No matter what, Johnny Silverhand is at least a guy worth making friends with, and Leon doesn't want Johnny to lose his life in this operation.

With this chip, Leon can also give Johnny some reliable advice and help him out of trouble when he faces difficult decisions.

Johnny took the chip from Li Ang. After learning about the specific functions of the chip, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"I live the life of a playboy every day. I'm afraid you'll get so horny after watching me that you'll want to find some chicks to cool off."

Johnny Silverhand kept telling dirty jokes, and Lucy wanted to whip him with her single-molecule wire immediately, while Mann and Pyrrha, the two old foxes, were holding back their laughter.

"You only need to install it before the action, and take it off after the action. There is no need to install it in the brain-computer socket every day."

Li Ang couldn't complain.

"Thank you, Leon. When this job is done, I will bring Cunningham to thank you in person. Goodbye!"

Johnny clasped his palms together and held the chip tightly in his hands.

Then he left the LA company in a swagger, having completed the most critical link in rescuing Ott Cunningham, and he finally felt relieved.

After watching Johnny leave the company, Leon immediately called Morgan Blackhand and gave him the same biochip so that he could check the situation ahead.

Before asking Morgan Blackhand to work for military technology, Leon gave him a special task.

That is to find a corpse of a white female who died of natural causes and is about 1.72 meters tall.

"Boss, what do you want a corpse for?" After hearing this request, Morgan Blackhand couldn't guess what Leon was planning. This was the first time he had to do such a hellish mission.

However, people die every day in Night City, and the morgues are filled with deceased persons. It is not difficult to find a white woman who died of natural causes, but it takes some time.

"Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living."

Leon smiled mysteriously. He did not reveal the specific plan to Morgan Blackhand.

In fact, the purpose of this corpse is of course to replace Otto Cunningham, so as to facilitate the work with Military Technology or the people from Arasaka Corporation.

If the normal rescue process was followed, the reckless Johnny would most likely rush into the computer room of Arasaka's headquarters and forcibly unplug Ultra's data cable, causing Ultra's soul consciousness to fail to return.

At that time, Leon will let the AI ​​Red Queen capture Ultra's soul data packet and upload it to the terminal of LA company.

And Ott's body, which is in a state of suspended animation, will also be taken back to the LA company by Morgan's black hand.

If someone from Militech or Arasaka Corporation comes to ask for Ultra's body, and insists on seeing him alive or dead, then they will use mimicry masking technology to cover the corpse and impersonate Ultra's face to get away with it.

The perfect version of the mimicry mask can completely achieve a face-changing level that is so realistic that no one will know the true identity of the corpse unless a DNA gene test is conducted!
However, for Otto Cunningham herself, ever since she was imprisoned in the computer room of the headquarters of Arasaka Corporation, her fate was to exist in cyberspace for a long time.

Otherwise, the two giant companies, Militech and Arasaka Corporation, will start a new war because of her AI Soul Killer.

At present, the only thing Leon can do is to preserve Ultra's soul and body separately as much as possible.

This allows her body to receive sufficient long-term maintenance to ensure the immortality of her physical body, allowing her soul consciousness to roam freely in cyberspace and be able to travel back at any time.

"Boss, can Morgan Blackhand really hold on by himself?" Mann asked worriedly.

Although he often quarreled with Morgan Blackhand, Mann had to admit that Morgan was an interesting and powerful mercenary and a friend worth making.

"Morgan's prosthetics are from the Peregrine 5 model from Sianwestin. They are definitely more than enough for self-protection. You should worry more about yourself and whether you can adapt to the new prosthetics."

Li Ang glanced at Mann and said, "If you can't adapt, you have to ask Lao Wei to help you get a lower-quality S'An Westin."

"Uh! I'll try to adapt!"

Mann immediately got scared. Although it was a pity that he couldn't adapt to the Peregrine 5 prosthesis, the device he had now was not bad.

That guy Morgan Blackhand always uses this to mock him, saying that Mann’s prosthetic talent is poor or something like that, to which Mann can only helplessly say, “You’re awesome.”

"Le Ang, I always have a bad feeling that these things may not be that simple. We still have to do something to be prepared."

At this time, Lucy spoke out, she frowned slightly, and felt a mysterious sense of crisis following her like a shadow, looming over her.

Because of her childhood spent in the Arasaka Corporation, where she was constantly surrounded by the black wall of death, Lucy has an unusually keen sense of death, and she can always sense that something bad is going to happen in advance.

And every time such a premonition appears, someone always dies in real life.

Maybe it was herself, or maybe it was someone else, Lucy couldn't tell, but she had a very clear sense of this doom.
