Chapter 65: Rapid Chase
A peaceful morning for the Martinez family.
As a family on a tight budget, they drive the most common Galina G240 in Santo Domingo - a car with extremely poor performance.
It can shake for three seconds when walking on the elevated road, and there is no interior at all. The only advantage is that it is cheap.
In Night City, you can’t live without a car. Without a car, you can’t go to work, you can’t send your children to kindergarten, and you can’t escape when gangs are at war.
David, the co-pilot, shook his legs: "Mom, do you still have money at home to upgrade the genuine system? Why not just use the pirated software the doctor gave you."
"No!"
Mom Gloria flatly refused.
As a person engaged in gray work, she knows the secrets of pirated software——
Provide you with software that is as effective as genuine at a low price? Are those hackers doing charity?
Of course not, you might have been targeted at some point.
"But...don't you have no money?" David looked out the window boredly, still reviewing the exciting Black Mewtwo he watched last night in his mind.
"That's because the wages haven't been paid yet! Of course there won't be a lot of idle money at home - and, stop shaking your legs!"
David stopped shaking when he heard this Legs, let out a long sigh.
He is not old, but his tone is not small - those who don't know think he is fifty, a middle-aged man who can't pay the mortgage and is unemployed.
"Actually, I've been thinking recently that I can drop out of school and look for a job or something."
"What are you talking about!?"
"Mom, you also know that just the system upgrade It’s hard for us to afford the money, and I’m quite out of place in school. Mom, you don’t know anything either, right?
As long as you are poor, you won’t be taken seriously. No matter how hard I study, I won’t be able to become a good student. They are the same.
I don’t want to be like them.”
At this point, David's mind was filled with the three people he saw that day -
The street chase, the hail of bullets - if he had been there, it would have been much more exciting than the pediatric black Mewtwo he had seen.
Running wildly on the streets freely seemed more suitable for a poor man like him.
The car was silent for a few seconds.
“.Then, why am I working so hard?”
Gloria's voice changed slightly, and David glanced over boredly.
"I work so hard just to let you. But now what do you think I have been doing during this time?"
"Mom?"
David looks Tears welled up in my mother's eyes.
“You are so smart and talented, that’s why I work so hard to make money and cultivate you.
What should I do if you don't want to study anymore? ”
Gloria suppressed her emotions, tears streaming down her eyes.
David was not a fool. He didn’t know what his mother did, but he could hear her. Mom's grievance.
Not only grievance, but also expectations that overwhelmed him.
Although he didn't know what his mother expected, he wanted to respond. An expectation.
"I shouldn't have said that." David looked ahead. There were ordinary cars like them, gathering into traffic.
He just didn't know how to respond to that expectation - study?
Maybe mom is just dreaming.
"I'm sorry, don't cry."
"I know what they did to you." Gloria wiped her tears, "Because I have experienced the same thing, That’s why we have to prove it to them!
I want you to become an elite and climb to the top of Arasaka Tower!
I know you have such talent, you can definitely do it! "
Speaking of her son, there seemed to be light in Gloria's eyes.
It was just this light that made David feel a little ashamed of himself.
" That's easy to say. ”
Halfway through David's words, he suddenly noticed a car in front of him - no, there was a group of cars going the wrong way!
A man with his upper body naked stood on the car, looking into the distance as if he were standing on a chariot——
Then, he raised his left hand that transformed into a cannon——
Boom!
The huge explosion overturned the car in front of Gloria. The car spun like a top and knocked over several cars!
One of the cars was even completely blown away by the explosion, and the whole car stood up and was smashed in this direction!
"Mom! Turn quickly, turn quickly - Mom!"
The next second, the bullets from the heavy machine gun connected in a line and cut the car apart, and half of the wreckage was hit hard. into the Martinez family's car.
The world is spinning instantly!
————-
In the car, Lille was monitoring the road network data while connecting to the disposable ICE terminal provided to him by Kangtao.
This thing looks like a black box, which is perfect for holding in your arms - but it will be scrapped soon, and Lear doesn't dare to pick it up.
The neural link is directly connected to the ICE interface, and Lear is going to do a bridge invasion - this is his first attempt to crack military-grade ICE, and it is a head-on crack.
"I started to invade his system, and the enemy's footage was sent to you."
The road network equipment captured James' path very early, and this guy did not hide it at all.
At this moment, his previously beaten chest had been repaired, and it looked like it had been replaced with more powerful skin armor.
The way he looked, it was as if what he was surrounded by were not the broken cars of the Six Street Gang, but tanks of military technology.
V spat: "Damn, what does that idiot think he is? Looking down on us?"
Liel shouted: "Jack, prepare to volley!"
At this time, V and Jack were both on the bed of the pickup truck. Jack was holding the Defender machine gun and aiming forward, waiting attentively for the place to come into crossfire range!
boom!
But what greeted them was a car that was completely blown over. The whole car stood up and came towards them!
"Fire! Grass!"
Jack roared and pulled the trigger!
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”
The huge recoil of the MK31 acts on Jack, and every bullet fired feels like someone is hitting him!
MK31 is actually not meant to be held at all. Military technology designed this machine gun to be mounted on armored vehicles and turrets - but there are always tough men equipped with a large number of prosthetics who can use this machine gun. thing!
Like Jack!
The bullets were almost smaller than cannonballs. They easily broke the overturned car in half and then smashed it on both sides!
Mackinac accelerated suddenly and passed the G240 in front of him that could not find its way——
"Prepare for an encounter!"
The teams from both sides faced each other tit for tat, but the Six Street Gang's momentum weakened first -
They were just here to guide James, but they didn't know that the other side would send so many murderous ones. Someone come and intercept!
The Valentino Gang's car seemed not to be afraid of the still chaotic traffic, using the modified bumper as a collision angle. Not only did it intercept the Sixth Street Gang's car, it even chased them and started a fight!
Jack turned the gun directly and shot the car at James' feet on the spot!
boom!
As expected, James disappeared on the roof of the car instantly, and then stepped on the roofs of those cars in the chaotic traffic like a flash! A few unlucky ones were crushed to pieces by the deformed car roof!
Jack's deadly firepower suppressed James, forcing him to constantly change directions!
V aimed viciously at the moving target, muttering something in his mouth——
"Jump - like jumping?"
Krenchikov can only activate it when the danger is already very close, but Qiandai's Sianwistan activated it early.
Although the effectiveness of Qiandi's Sianwistan is far inferior to what James is using now, the reaction distance left for V this time is much greater than before!
As the distance gets closer, maybe Klenchikov has a connection with Qiandi’s Sianwistan, the slowdown time starts to slowly climb from 20% all the way——
V starts I saw the guy clearly and pulled the trigger.
Electromagnetic energy begins to accumulate.
She gradually saw the guy’s route clearly, and then his movements——
Bang!
The bullet came out of the barrel, forming a clearly visible miniature sonic boom cloud in front of V!
“Hit——grass, missed!”
Nekomata's bullets are extremely fast - Sianwistan can make people move faster, so fast that it gives the illusion that time is slowing down.
But it does not mean that the human body can break the speed of sound!
Makomata’s discharge speed exceeds 1500m/s!
Bang——
V’s foot took a step back and landed heavily on the car.
James was shot in the air, and the bullet struck his left chest at an angle, leaving a huge dent there.
It’s a pity that the bullet didn’t hit the target—it was just a scratch, and the guy’s chest armor was shattered. If it had hit the target, the battle would be over.
James fell to the ground, but he didn't rest for long - he was already very close to the three people's car!
James accelerated his steps and jumped directly into the chaotic traffic.
The team completely ignored the overturned car and ran rampant, providing even more cover for James!
Nekomata's bullets penetrated one car after another as easily as through butter, passing through those cars and interfering with James' movements!
"Damn - he's coming, Jack!"
As soon as V finished speaking, James jumped out of the traffic, the mantis knife dazzling in the sun!
But this time, V responded much more calmly!
Earn——
Four mantis knives connected in the air, and V used the same method to jam James' knife again!
James didn't think there was any problem - V did the same thing last time. Although V had an extra pair of mantis knives, he had three.
However, this time, Jack is no longer Jack who can only use a small pistol!
Bang!
Jack's left hand squeezed James' knee tightly, and the mantis knife was held down and couldn't come out!
The huge force pressed the monster's iron knees to crackle, and it almost began to deform -
And Jack still had one hand, and that hand was holding Sadara!
“The last meal I treated you was not a full set, try this!”
Boom!
Only when the shot was fired, Jack was thankful that it was a good thing to have someone in the team who understood technology.
The recoil of Sadara's fire made his arm hurt, and he almost lost his grip.
If you switch to a human arm - it is a good habit to hold the weapon tightly, but the reward is at least a broken bone.
The bullets from the two barrels of the modified Sadara exploded at the same time, directly smashing the left side of James' abdomen, revealing the dense prosthetic body inside.
But this guy’s armor is really awesome, and it didn’t even penetrate completely.
After this shot, V and Jack could no longer hold James down——
He pressed the front of the car hard as if nothing happened, and then the force jumped away - but his speed was obviously much slower.
The response method he chose was the easiest to predict. In the sky, he was only affected by gravity.
A series of bullets were suddenly fired from the car, accurately hitting James' movement trajectory in the air, and the bullets were all missed.
Finally, a small EMP explosion was induced when he landed -
James paused, and Mackinac suddenly jumped up!
Bang!
Archido shouted and turned the steering wheel: "Holy crap, it's a flat tire!"
Mackino, who had a flat tire, drifted on the road and stopped right in front of James.
Liel clung to the armrest and almost didn't get thrown out.
Immediately afterwards, the ICE server at Lille exploded - it exploded during the confrontation.
There was also a problem with James' spinal prosthesis.
A spine that is no longer functioning normally cannot provide normal functions. James's tall and straight body finally bent down and could no longer support his weight.
He stood there blankly.
[First time breaking through military-grade ICE, technology points +500]
[Has mastered practical technology: network hacking technology (proficient)]
[You now have the ability to try to crack military-grade ICE and develop more lethal fast cracking golems]
[Technology points +500]
[Current technology points: 1800]
Liel took a long breath: "ICE has broken through, and I have disabled his spinal prosthesis.
Get him - be careful, he can still move, but he is not as flexible."
Bang.
Jack and V jumped out of the car, swinging their weapons and walked up to James.
V said: "It's over - you or me?"
Jack loaded Sadara's bullets: "I'll do it, he still owes me an arm. "
James suddenly moved, took out the authentic gun behind him and started shooting——
It's a pity that V, he can't hit it, and Jack, he can't penetrate it.
This is the embarrassing thing about ordinary rifles - ordinary people do avoid them, but to people with this level of transformation, they are nothing.
The approaching Sadara began to recharge——
Bang!
The huge sound of Sadara resounded through the highway, and the projectile passed through James' body, leaving a dark and deep ablation mark on the ground.
Valentino, the Sixth Street Gang, and the office workers who were pushed to the side by the car accident were all stunned - but the feelings were completely different.
The battle may have lasted only a few minutes, but within those minutes the roads were littered with bullet holes, dead people, burning cars and debris.
But is the battle over?
"Hey, we have to change cars." Lille also got out of the car.
“Achido, take this monster’s body back.”
"Okay boss, what about you?"
Liel pointed to Jack in the center of the battlefield -
He was holding Sadara in one hand and MK31 in the other. :
“Start the car and stop the gas Door, follow the boys - Valentino, cargo! (Note 1)"
