Chapter 673: The Hanged Man (4)
So this is what the ballistic missile saw when it broke through the interceptor net?
Leal no longer has eyes, but the sensors on the missile can still allow him to see some realistic projections in cyberspace.
The most important model adjustments and the most important calculations of Lear and Muramasa have been completed.
This is a short-range ballistic missile. It will not "bounce" multiple times after entering the atmosphere. As long as the trajectory of the first bounce deviates from the Arasaka Group's missile prediction system, the Mach 8 speed will no longer It's what they can predict and intercept.
Even in the final stage, the missile's speed dropped significantly, and it was still not something Kujira could intercept.
In the end, the missile did not hit Kujira squarely, but hit its left side.
That's how it should be.
Lille did not see the moment of the explosion, because he had more important things to do:
David captured the shrine, and Lucy led the team to capture the antenna and attack Lille opens hacking channel——
As the missile descends, Riel will be able to dock on the missile with Arasaka Tower's signal
with a chance to sneak into the mikoshi.
But the time is too short, he must choose what he wants to back up and what he wants to repair.
But Muramasa does not have this requirement, it can immediately decide to keep only its core model, So it made the jump first.
As for Lille, he was separated from the missile server bit by bit, and he began to return from the sight of Arasaka Tower to the restless and turbulent cyber network of Night City.
The black wall is always there, so his data transmission can only have a fidelity rate of less than 50%.
Anyway, Lille began to recall the past and began to traverse his "database".
It was so long ago that he could no longer remember how he felt at that time. Moreover, he did not have the conditions to mobilize "emotions" at that time.
What he was thinking of was what happened after he had the power of negative film.
He remembered the story he told Martin about his past life, and his pain, emptiness, regret, and anger.
He had done crazy things and witnessed the world falling apart in the flames of war. The future of mankind was ruined by his own hands. Countless fragments streaked across the sky and the sky burned.
Then he remembered his hope for the new world. He hoped that Atlas could do what he had dreamed of countless times: stop the slide of the world before everything was irreversible.
He thought of the children in the city who asked him ignorant questions: curiosity and love, hope and innocence.
He thought of the countless students, researchers, engineers, and others who supported him.
They look at themselves, believe in themselves, worship themselves, as if they see the future in themselves, and are willing to work for him, thinking of the future work he promised.
This kind of gaze is unknown in the Marvel world, but also in Night City. People can't get out of the mud, or they are resigned to the mud, but no matter what, in the end people hope that he will not die
Because he is the future.
The expectations of countless people, as well as my own expectations for them, are so vague and unspeakable, but yet so clear.
Lier suddenly had a sense of enlightenment and emotion:
As a dying person, he did not put his own life first, but insisted on doing these things.
It was this complex experience that kidnapped him.
In a sense, this is just regret, strong regret, and strong yearning for the beauty that has never existed before.
The explosion of this nuclear bomb was for these people, and it was actually his foolish move.
Then he saw the specific person.
He saw Jack, who was smiling all day, tense up behind his wheelchair as soon as he went on a mission, as if even if a nuclear bomb was going to explode in front of him in the next second, this big man would hug him live.
In fact, Jack would do the same thing, and Leal thought that Jack did almost die once trying to protect him.
"Jack, my best brother."
Then he saw Maya, his mother.
Thinking of his mother's care and concern for him, and of a mother's love for her son who was still willing to pay for him even though he was about to die in a coma. Maya is an ordinary mother with an ordinary but unique and fierce love.
"It's just that after understanding how cruel this world is, we began to feel that this world can become gentle and beautiful."
Finally, he saw V.
He suddenly wanted to see V, so he found the Mackinac floating image. In the blurry cyberspace, he saw this silly girl who had been having fun all day long and dreamed of buying a house and a sports car, confused. Looking at the floating shadow.
So many memories came back.
He saw the two of them singing and bragging together in a Beamon armored vehicle, traveling through badlands and deserts.
He saw the two of them looking at houses together in Mewtwo, cursing the house that they would never be able to afford.
He saw V holding his head and drilling hard
But the clearest thing was Things in Dogtown.
“Dear, what a stupid title.”
[Muramasa: Isn’t it done yet! ! The nuclear bomb is going to explode! What are you doing! 】
Following Muramasa's prompt, the inside of the nuclear bomb began to explode!
The primer squeezes the reaction space, the concentration of nuclear fuel breaks through the threshold, and the chain reaction begins!
Buzz——
Cyberspace is trembling!
The nuclear bomb has exploded!
In reality, a flash of light hundreds of times more dazzling than a thermobaric bomb lights up from the coast!
After a series of sonic booms and meteor jumps, the sun appeared on the coast!
In cyberspace, the nuclear electromagnetic pulse has turned into a terrifying storm, and even the black wall cannot resist it -
This storm is devouring everything!
During the storm, Lille heard V’s last voice coming into the floating shadow:
[V: Lil, are you in the car? 】
This storm is about to flood everything in Lille. His AI-based thinking reminds him that he should complete the data migration immediately, or that he should have completed the data migration long ago, but he has begun to take on human nature——
In this storm, he chose an extremely risky move!
He controlled the electromagnetic signal and invaded V's cyber modulator. Through the cyber modulator, like a small octopus, he made a series of imprints on V's brain——
This mark fell on V’s shoulder and on her lips.
In the cyberpunk era, information equipment no longer requires two lovers to express their love face to face.
But what is love? What is love in this era?
Some people like the ideal sex partner that money can buy, some people like to have sex crazily under the stimulation of hormones, and some people like the novel experience brought by exotic hunting prosthetics and sensory enhancers, and most people are addicted to it. Yu Hei Chaomeng's direct stimulation of the brain
True love is too rare, but pleasure is easy to obtain;
It is very determined to make up for regrets in regrets, but hesitant to pursue things that he has never had.
Lille clearly realized that now, at this moment, he had to say something.
But in the violent cyberspace storm, everything Lir did was meaningless, because this kind of storm would swallow everything——
What he wanted to say disappeared immediately, like a whisper Dissipated in the storm.
[Lille: Valerie.]
Violent sonic boom, flashing meteors, and finally the dazzling sun.
V felt that someone had hugged her just now, and then she didn't know whether it was debris, flames or fine rainwater that touched her lips.
No one had kissed her or held her like a lover, so she couldn't even generate a reasonable guess.
All she knew was: there was no one in the floating shadow.
