Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

The dust and dust from the ruins of the hotel gradually dissipated.

Wildman King, the leader of the Animal Gang, slowly opened his eyes and found himself buried in construction waste with a marble slab on his chest.

What just happened?
She had a dazed expression on her horizontal face, and she blinked vigorously, trying to regain consciousness from the dizziness.

It seemed that a black object like a large meteorite fell down, directly knocking down half of the hotel.

The Savage King pushed away the stones in front of him, kicked away the debris with his two thick thighs, stood up from the ruins of the building, and the debris and stones fell one after another.

Before she could clean the dust from her hair, a black steel figure came into sight.

I saw a black mechanical warrior standing proudly, with a circle of cracked pits under his feet, a whole body of pure steel and pure black mechanical prosthesis, and a ten-barreled turret installed on his left shoulder. There are almost no traces of the original, only half a human brain On the cyber body.

What surprised the Savage King even more was that the Arasaka company logo was printed on the opponent's mechanical prosthesis.

The Savage King soon realized what was going on.

Adam Hammer?

With the advanced transformation of the whole body and the logo of the Arasaka company, there is no other in the entire Night City except him.

The Savage King didn't understand why Adam Heavy Hammer appeared here, and the Arasaka staff who cooperated with her didn't tell her about it.

If it weren't for Adam's heavy hammer falling from the sky and smashing the Voodoo Gang's hiding hotel, their capture of the Batty Hotel must be a certainty.

But now Adam smashed down the heavy hammer out of thin air, trampling many of the Animal Gang brothers to death in the hotel, which made the Savage King furious.

As if aware of the movement behind him, Adam Heavy Hammer turned his head and found two people climbing up from the ruins behind him, they should be the two people who were knocked down by the aftermath.

A majestic woman with a figure as strong as a bull, who seemed to have a bit of brute strength.

One is wearing a cloak jacket, with nerve cords tucked into the back of his head, and he's supposed to be a cyber hacker.

The two stood on one side, their eyes full of hostility.

Adam hammered the circle of the blood-red prosthetic eye to rotate, and began to scan the identity information of the two.

In the manpower database stored by Arasaka, the result will be displayed soon.

The opponents are the wildling king, the leader of the animal gang, and Placid, the top executive of the voodoo gang.

Seeing that the two seemed to have strong hostility, Kate said to Adam with a heavy hammer in order to avoid complications.

"Catch her, and Master Lai Xuan's task will be completed, don't worry about them."

Kate doesn't want to have an accident at this time, after all, Tang Yu is not far away, and he may rush over at any time.

With the strength of Adam's heavy hammer, he can take the target person out of here quickly, and no one can stop him.

Adam Heavy Hammer ignored Kate, but turned to face the two of them, his tone was extremely indifferent, and he didn't pay attention to them at all, and said casually: "You are just a pile of rotten meat."

Obviously.

Adam Heavy Hammer didn't intend to stop there, the target person was already within his control, and he could take it away whenever he wanted, but such a scene like today is rare.

When the Savage King heard Adam's heavy hammer humiliating him so much, he was furious. He knelt down, picked up the big hammer from the rubbish pile, raised it high, and rushed all the way to smash it at the opponent.

The Savage King was not slow, he jumped in front of Adam Heavy Hammer in just a few steps, and then smashed down with a heavy hammer, pointing directly at half of Adam Heavy Hammer's head.

Adam's heavy hammer stood on the spot, motionless, and when the wildling king came close with a hammer, he suddenly stretched out the palm of the mechanical prosthesis, and directly resisted the big hammer. The huge force was instantly transmitted to the ground, and his feet were concave. The pit sank a little deeper.

what? !

The Savage King couldn't believe her eyes. It was the first time she saw someone survive under her hammer, and what she didn't expect was that the other party resisted the hammer attack.

Adam Heavy Hammer held the hammer firmly with one palm, and said mechanically, "I've said it before, you're just a piece of rotten meat."

Done.

His mechanical right fist was clenched into a steel fist, and it hit the wildling king's chest heavily.

Bang!
A loud bang.

The Savage King's eyes were wide open, and he flew upside down and rolled on the rubble, with a deep fist mark on his heart.

She felt her heartbeat stop in an instant, and the huge force penetrated her entire chest and abdomen. The strong muscles she was proud of were vulnerable to the opponent's heavy punch.

The Savage King really wanted to struggle to get up and fight again, but his whole body was exhausted. Even the sledgehammer dropped to the ground, and his limbs convulsed due to the heart disorder.

If it weren't for her rough skin and thick flesh, this punch might not be as simple as breaking a few sternums.

Adam Heavy Hammer raised his hand, turned on the mighty arm cannon and pointed it at the fallen Savage King. When he was about to finish her with a shot, he noticed movement on the other side out of the corner of his eye.

He turned his head to check the other side, and found that the voodoo gang Placid had dodged directly from the spot to a further distance, trying to take the opportunity to escape the scene.

Adam Hammer turned the muzzle of the gun, re-aimed at Placid, and blasted out.

call out!
The cannonball came out of the chamber and shot towards Placid, and it exploded in an instant, bursting into flames.

After the gunpowder smoke dissipated, no figure could be seen in place.

Placid appeared in another place as if teleporting, and continued to flee towards the distance with difficult steps. At the same time, he aimed the machine gun in his hand at Adam's hammer, trying to block the pursuit.

blah blah blah.

But the magazine quickly ran out, and he found that he couldn't shake the opponent's armor at all, and realized that the situation was extremely bad.

He was just about to switch magazines when he noticed that another missile was coming towards him, and immediately activated Sianweistan to teleport to dodge, but during the movement, he found that Adam Hammer was actually keeping up with his speed.

Placid looked horrified.

What he implanted is a high-end Swan Westin, which can withstand its load only with the top-notch hacker cooling system.

But Adam Heavy Hammer kept up with him effortlessly, which meant that it was almost impossible for him to escape from here.

"The mouse has come out of the hole, but it's not so easy to get back in." Adam Heavy Hammer followed Placid's footsteps, with a bit of disdain in his tone.

Placid resisted the high-temperature burn brought by Sean Westin, and immediately activated the invasion protocol. He wanted to break through the ICE of Adam Hammer. Only by destroying the opponent's implant could he barely gain a chance of life.

Adam Heavy Hammer was not moved by it at all, and his brain was loaded with Arasaka's highest-level security ICE, which Placid would not be able to break through for a while.

When Placid was distracted, Adam hammered the machine gun and shot out one after another, sweeping Placid down the middle, and instantly turned into a corpse that was cut in half , fell on the ruins under the action of inertia.

After Adam Hammer dealt with Placid, he stopped and put away the heavy machine gun.

In just a few rounds, the Wildman King of the Animal Gang was seriously injured, and the Voodoo Gang was almost wiped out.

Kate stood in the distance, patiently waiting for Adam's heavy hammer to vent. For this kind of terrifying guy, who is also the bodyguard of Arasaka Yoshinobu, and has some homicide habits, she is not good at evaluating anything. take away.

"Adam Heavy Hammer, the trouble has been resolved, take people and prepare to return."

This time, Adam Heavy Hammer did not object to Kate's opinion, walked to the target person with heavy steps, and found that the other person had passed out.

He was just about to stretch out his mechanical palm, intending to pinch the target's head and drag him out of the ruins, but he heard an order coming from behind, with a somewhat majestic tone.

"Adam Heavy Hammer, your mission has been completed."

Adam Heavy Hammer withdrew his hand, turned around and looked at the people coming from behind, and saw that the opponent's team was not small. The leader was a young man in a black suit, and two hackers stood on the left and right sides, followed by a team of Arasaka special agents .

Also from the Arasaka company?

Adam Heavy Hammer remained motionless, unable to see any expression, but was a little puzzled by the current situation.

The content of the task he received from Arasaka Lai Xuan was to obtain the subnet Poseidon data and destroy the on-site operation.

It just fell from the sky, destroyed the Barty Hotel, killed all the members of the Animal Gang and the Voodoo Gang, and captured the person with the data of the Sea God in his brain, which is considered to have completed all the tasks assigned by Lai Xuan.

But now other Arasaka company executives appeared out of thin air, which made him stop temporarily, without any new actions.

When Kate saw Tang Yu appearing, she couldn't help cursing a few times, if it weren't for Adam Chonghammer's insistence on wasting time here, they would have left with people.

But she stood next to the super powerful Adam Heavy Hammer, she seemed very confident, and said coldly: "Tang Yu, I advise you to stop using the name of Master Saburo to grab credit. This task was completed by Adam Heavy Hammer and I. , don’t you want to take it by force?”

She is not afraid of Tang Yu at all, but hopes that Tang Yu will take the initiative to provoke trouble.

At that time, when Adam hits with a heavy hammer, Tang Yu will surely die.

Even if it is investigated at that time, there will be no substantive punishment at all with Arasaka Yoshinobu protecting Adam Hammer.

Kate is betting that Tang Yu is using the name of Saburo Arasaka to deceive her.

She never believed that the Arasaka family would really value Tang Yu. Everyone was just a pawn on the Arasaka family's chessboard. It was normal for the black and white pieces to eat each other.

It is not normal for Tang Yu to be eaten by Adam Heavy Hammer. The Arasaka family will never really punish Adam Heavy Hammer who has been loyal to Arasaka for many years for an outsider.

Tang Yu showed a strange look, and asked with a smile.

"Who do I take credit for?"

"Is it due to Adam's hammer, or to your Kate?"

"If it's the former, I'd like to know."

"Adam Heavy Hammer, you are not only the bodyguard of Arasaka Yoshinobu, but also a member of the Arasaka Company. There is a conflict with the work of the counterintelligence department. So what is the mission you are here to perform?"

Adam Chonghammer's righteous eyes flashed red, and he quickly recognized Tang Yu's identity information, confirming that he was the acting head of the counterintelligence department, who belonged to the same department as Kate.

As a member of the Arasaka company, although he only obeys the orders of Arasaka Yoshinobu, he is also obliged to cooperate with relevant departments.

Also.

Adam Chonghammer also knew some information about Tang Yu. The other party is now working in the company under the name of Saburo Arasaka, which made him a little scrupulous, so he said mechanically.

"My task is to cooperate with Kate's operation and get the subnet Poseidon data, that's all."

Tang Yu nodded slightly, and said bluntly: "Then you can complete the task and leave."

He signaled to Lucy beside him to copy the Seagod data from V's brain storage chip and hand it to Adam Hammer.

Lucy glanced at Adam's heavy hammer, clenched the reading chip in her hand, stepped across the ruins and walked to V's side. Seeing that she was still in a coma, she directly inserted the reading chip into the biological nerve slot, and started Copy Poseidon data.

Adam Hammer didn't make any movement, letting Lucy move, but Kate couldn't help it.

She noticed that Tang Yu didn't seem to have the intention of provoking Adam's heavy hammer at all, and was even willing to give up the Sea God's data.

Wasn't Saburo Arasaka a task assigned to him to steal the Sea God's data, and he dared to sell it just like that.

She couldn't direct Adam's heavy hammer to kill a high-level Arasaka company for no reason. The current situation is completely different from what she thought.

Kate's eyes were fierce, and she looked coldly at Lucy who was copying the data. Unexpectedly, Tang Yu would dare to continue to indulge the defected deep-diving hacker, and asked sharply: "You are not small, I really think that your little secret hides Can you live?"

Lucy couldn't help but trembled slightly when she heard this.

Tang Yu showed an inexplicable look and asked back.

"Shouldn't you ask yourself this sentence?"

"Master Saburo Arasaka ordered to investigate the voodoo gang's affairs about cyberspace, and now you suddenly ran out with Adam Hammer to intervene."

"There is a high probability that the Sea God data on the subnet has also been damaged. This operation was not successful, and you have to bear some responsibility if you investigate it."

"Of course, if you admit that it was Arasaka Yoshinobu's order, you can keep your position if you just follow orders. It's just that Arasaka Yoshinobu needs to explain it to the chairman."

Hearing Tang Yu's words, Kate was stunned.

Does Tang Yu want to throw all the responsibility on himself?
But now the situation is obviously Tang Yu's inaction, and it is himself and Adam who came to the rescue.

She noticed that the red prosthetic eyes of Adam's heavy hammer beside her had locked on her tightly, and she couldn't help feeling a chill down her back.

After Lucy finished reading and copying the Poseidon data, she took out the chip from the back of V's neck, looked back at Tang Yu and said bluntly.

"The copying has been completed, and the Seagod's data is indeed missing."

V, who was lying in the ruins, coughed lightly twice, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was still in a coma.

Kate's face froze in an instant. The Sea God's data was damaged. She did not take this responsibility, but she couldn't shake it off.

It's all about Adam Heavy Hammer, the lunatic, who can enter the hotel, find a copy of the server and leave, but wantonly destroy the hotel site, and the wanton killing disrupted the established plan.

She realized that if she didn't leave the scene, she might really end up here. No matter what the result was, she had already followed the orders of Lord Arasaka Raisan. As long as she didn't confess the mastermind behind it, it would be fine to be punished a little.

"Heh, since you think I sabotaged Lord Sanlang's actions, then it is up to Lord Sanlang to decide, and it's not your turn to be the master."

Tang Yu smiled meaningfully, looked at Kate and said word by word.

"Oh, sorry."

"I forgot to bring you something just now."

"You are fired."

The voice just fell.

A series of reminder boxes popped up in front of Kate Yi's eyes.

【You violated the relevant regulations of Arasaka Company.】

【Your position and rank in Arasaka Company are being cancelled.】

【All your activities and division of labor in Arasaka Company have been ordered to stop.】

The message indicated that all her position and rank information was locked, and she could not activate any related businesses and permissions of Arasaka Company, and the relevant employee benefits and benefits were immediately stopped.

Kate was completely stunned, unable to believe the information prompted in Yiyan, and muttered to herself.

"This is impossible."

"This is impossible!"

"It is impossible for Arasaka Company to fire me, I belong to Lord Arasaka Raisan"

Snapped!
A black shadow flashed past, and Kate's entire head disappeared instantly, leaving only a headless corpse standing in place.

After a while.

The corpse, which lost control, collapsed to the ground in an instant, and a large amount of bright red blood flowed out from the neck.

Adam Heavy Hammer withdrew his hand, and there were some minced meat sticking to the mechanical arm.

He couldn't kill the Arasaka company executives without authorization, but Kate had been fired by the Arasaka company just now, and she was no longer a member of the Arasaka company, so killing her didn't require any burden.

After Kate was dealt with, Adam Heavy Hammer looked at Tang Yu, and said in a mechanical voice: "Death is more than a crime."

Tang Yu quite agreed, but he didn't smash Kate into minced meat, which was somewhat regrettable.

"Since you have already cleaned up the trash for Arasaka, you can save some procedural troubles."

"In the future, you have a word with Raisaka Arasaka, and you should use less people like Kate in the future. It's hard to make a big deal."

Done.

Tang Yu signaled Lucy to hand over the chip containing the Poseidon data, and threw it directly to Adam Hammer.

After Adam Heavy Hammer received the chip, he put it into the slot to read and check, and found that there was no problem with the data, so he put away his weapon and prepared to leave.

When the Arasaka hovercar came down, he got up and got on the seat.

Before leaving.

He looked directly at Tang Yu and left three words.

"interesting."

Done.

Spraying four pillars of blue flames, the floating car rose into the sky, left the scene, and disappeared into the sky.

Tang Yu saw Adam's heavy hammer leaving, and immediately ordered Douglas to take the Arasaka special service team back.

Douglas was still in shock, completely unresponsive to what happened just now.

A high-ranking Arasaka, the dignified deputy head of the counterintelligence department, was fired as soon as he said he would be fired, and he was instantly killed by Adam's heavy hammer.

Such a scene left an indelible impression on him.

He couldn't help shivering, thinking that before the start of today's operation, fortunately, he didn't choose to inform Kate, otherwise there would be more than one death.

and.

Kate has been looking for Tang Yu's bottom line since he joined the counterintelligence department, and he also assisted some.

Obviously Tang Yu has tolerated her again and again, and hasn't worked in the company for a long time.

But this Kate didn't know good from bad, so he wanted to dig out Tang Yu's information in his spare time, implicating him and offending Tang Yu.

At that time, Susan Abernathy arranged for him to be transferred from the Special Operations Department to the Counter Intelligence Department in order to help Kate gain a foothold.

Think about this.

A strong sense of remorse rose in Douglas.

In his mind, Tang Yu is now the King of Hades, and even Kate can't stand it, let alone a small employee of Arasaka.

He couldn't help but began to worry about his own safety, and even forgot to reply to Tang Yu's instructions for a while.

"Douglas, I don't want to repeat it a second time." Tang Yu's tone was cold, and he reminded him again.

Douglas was scared out of his wits immediately, and quickly apologized: "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, I promise there won't be a next time."

Done.

Douglas immediately closed the team and left the scene with the Arasaka special service team.

Tang Yu explained a few words to Mosley, the senior network surveillance agent beside him, asking him to send the employment notice as soon as possible, so that Lucy can go through the entry procedures, and at the same time arrange for Lucy to carry out hacking activities in Night City.

Mosley agreed very simply, and he saw clearly what Tang Yu did just now.

As for the Arasaka company's internal struggle, its complexity and bloodiness are far better than those of the Internet monitoring agency.

Mosley is just a senior hacker agent, not good at this kind of power game, and he doesn't want to anger an existence like Tang Yu.

Therefore, Tang Yu's request was basically accepted in full. After all, the recruitment of Lucy was promised from the beginning, and Lucy's performance in hacking technology can be described as amazing.

in fact.

He also knew that Lucy belonged to Tang Yu, and she might have other plans for being placed in the network monitoring agency.

However, network monitoring and major companies are basically in a common relationship, and public network security also threatens the foundation of companies.

This is why Mosley is not worried about Lucy's problems. On the contrary, he is willing to match Lucy and Tang Yu through Lucy.

After talking about Lucy's employment arrangements, Mosley also left the scene.

He went straight back to the Empire State Building to pack up the equipment. The mission of the Voodoo Gang has been completed, which is a great achievement for him.

After quickly dismissing the irrelevant people around, Tang Yu rushed to V's side in time, and quickly removed the large stone slab that was pressing on her.

I didn't feel my heart tighten.

Her left forearm was missing, and there were multiple penetrating wounds on her body that were bleeding profusely.

His face showed pain, and his originally sexy lips also lost their color and became extremely pale.

It was the first time that Lucy saw Tang Yu look so nervous, and seemed to care about the girl lying on the ruins.

Tang Yu didn't care about other things, he called a Delaman decisively, then picked up V, walked across the ruins, and walked towards the street.

Delaman arrived at the scene soon, opened the car door automatically, and said bluntly.

"Hi Mr. Tang, long time no see, Delaman is very happy to serve you."

Tang Yu first carried V into the car, and then sat in. Lucy quickly followed into the car and pressed V's heavily injured wound.

"Old De, go directly to Watson's Little Chinatown Prosthetic Body Clinic. I'll send you the exact location and get there as quickly as possible!"

Delaman immediately closed the car door, activated the overdrive mode, the engine roared, the tires spun, and the car started racing all the way.

From Taiping State in the south of Night City, head straight for Watson in the north of Night City.

on the road.

Tang Yu carefully checked V's injury. Although it was very serious, it did not hurt the root cause. Coupled with V's strong physical fitness, this wave of injuries can withstand.

Only then did he feel relieved.

You know, the injuries V suffered back then were a thousand times more tragic than this, but he still resisted forcefully.

V seems to have regained some strength, squinting his eyes to check his own situation.

Seeing himself leaning in Tang Yu's arms, he asked weakly.

"In a suit."

"This great favor, I will remember it"
