Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 213
West Coast.

The sea breeze rolled up layers of waves, slapped against the wall constantly, and the water foam rushed out, with a slight salty taste.

Between the steep cliffs, there is a gentle slope extending into the sea, which is one of the few beaches along the coast suitable for landing.

David Martinez stood facing the wind, wearing a full set of black tactical uniform, looking at the endless sea.

Behind him was an Arasaka special service team, quietly waiting for the target to appear.

David was appointed as the captain of the operation this time, responsible for picking up and delivering the goods sent from COSCO Kyoto. Due to the need for confidentiality of the operation, the number of the team was small, and he deliberately chose this unmanned tidal flat to land.

Since the meritorious service in the last attack, he was quickly promoted to a higher rank, and he also received a higher level of cyber prosthetic transformation.

His eyes have been staring at the distance and never moved away. This is his first time leading a team on a field mission.

It's almost time for the handover, so I'm inevitably a little nervous.

After a while.

A huge ship appeared in David's line of sight. After confirming that the other party belonged to Arasaka, his tense nerves were relieved.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to fire signal flares to signal the opponent's location.

soon.

A hole was opened in the cabin of the giant ship, and two amphibious armored vehicles drove out, and after entering the water, they drove towards David.

After the armored vehicle arrived smoothly, the two sides communicated and confirmed.

A total of two pieces of goods need to be transported to Arasaka Tower, the company square.

Seeing that everything was confirmed, David commanded the special service team to get into the car and set off on the road.

This route is very remote, all the way is a wasteland terrain, there is no ready-made traffic road, and under normal circumstances no one will notice it.

The convoy galloped on the loess at a high speed, and the tail brought up dust and sand all over the sky.

David sat in the cab, checking the radar images from time to time, always paying attention to the movement around him, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Although this road has almost no sphere of influence involved, there is also the risk of intelligence leakage.

The mission was assigned by the Ministry and approved by Susan Abernathy.

He suspects that there may be tricks in it, but he is not sure about the other party's specific plan.

But what David knew was that once the goods were robbed, his career in Arasaka would basically come to an end, and all previous efforts would be in vain.

He doesn't like working in the company, but he doesn't really hate the job.

For him to join Arasaka, Gloria paid too much, and Tang Yu also took the risk to help.

There is too much hard work and painstaking effort behind being able to have the job and treatment he has today, and he cannot ignore it.

Now he has made a small start in the workplace, has made contributions inexplicably, and has also received awards and promotions.

'It can be regarded as living up to their wishes,' David thought to himself.

Since Tang Yu was promoted to the public relations department, he has not seen Tang Yu again, and he has no chance to express some things he wants to say.

David felt that maybe one day in the future, when he also worked hard to rise to that position, he would be able to face it calmly.

While his thoughts were flying, he suddenly received a report from his team members.

"Sir, I found an unknown force in the direction of ten o'clock, approaching our route!"

David's heart sank, what was supposed to come finally came.

at this time.

Tens of kilometers ahead of the Arasaka convoy, on a weathered stone pier stood a girl with twin ponytails, looking into the distance with a radio telescope, her braids swaying in the wind.

Everywhere her eyes swept, there was a vast expanse of dust and sand, and she couldn't even see a ghost.

"What are you doing, Mann, are you sure someone will deliver the goods here, and a wave of people will come here to intercept the goods?"

Mann, who was sitting at the front of the car, replied with a serious face: "The information given by Faraday is right here."

Rebecca put down the binoculars and hung them around her neck, and said dissatisfiedly: "The errand with the asymmetrical four eyes is always mysterious and secretive, and I must have no good intentions in hiding my words. I think next time, I'd better not accept it." His job is good, the key is that something went wrong, that guy must have sold us immediately."

With the lessons learned from the military-grade Sean Westin, Rebecca simply hated this kind of irresponsible middleman.

"It's too far away from Gloria's commission, and the company's backing, it's great, you can do whatever you want."

Mann laughed helplessly.

Rebecca's words are a bit exaggerated. They are mercenaries, so naturally they can take any job if they have money.

Gloria doesn't always have high-priced orders. They usually spend a lot of money, and they can't always wait for the family to survive.

This time, after a long time, Faraday found them again, arranged this commission, and paid a generous reward.

And the content of the entrustment is not complicated, just waiting here for a praying mantis to catch cicadas and orioles to follow.

After the Arasaka convoy was hijacked, they went to hijack the other party's goods, and then sent them to the designated place for business.

Mann judged based on the information given by Faraday that this order is not difficult, and even if it fails, he can get out without causing serious losses or even casualties in the team.

Running away after looting things in the wasteland, there are almost no horses left behind, and it is also convenient to flee by car.

Rebecca was not interested in this mission, so she jumped off the stone pier, took off the telescope and threw it to Dorio.

"Look, I'll get in the car for a while, and call me again if there's a situation."

Dorio caught the telescope, smiled, and jumped onto the stone pier as tall as a person.

As soon as she raised the binoculars, she shouted, "Mann, there is a situation!"

Upon hearing this, Rebecca immediately turned her head, raised her hands high to hold on to the stone pier, and desperately climbed up, her two fat legs kicking wildly on the pier.

"Dorio, pull me up, pull me up, I want to see!"

Dorio had no choice but to suspend the way of life in hand, and stretched out her hand for Rebecca to come up.

Rebecca couldn't hold back her excitement, and quickly grabbed the binoculars to look: "Where is it? Where is it?"

Dorio had no choice but to straighten the telescope for her and point it in the direction just now.

as predicted.

Rebecca spotted a convoy heading their way.

She adjusted the far and near focal lengths, zoomed in on the distant view one after another, until she could see the logo on the front of the car clearly, and shouted: "It's Arasaka! Arasaka convoy!"

then.

She moved her eyes to the driver's seat again, and found that the person sitting in the co-pilot's seat was carefully checking the ammunition of the machine gun. She looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"Huh? Isn't that Lizi's boss's son?"

Hearing this, Mann also turned on the stone pier, took the telescope in Rebecca's hand, checked it again, and found that it was really David Martinez.

Is this a coincidence or an intentional arrangement?

Mann didn't know about the problems within the Arasaka Company, so he could only return this information to Gloria first.

Before he put down the binoculars, he noticed movement in another direction in the distance. A convoy was rushing towards David from the side, most likely hijacking the convoy.

Mann carefully observed the hijacked convoy again. There were a lot of people, and it seemed that they wanted to grab the goods in one fell swoop.

He quickly made a judgment: "Dorio and Qiwei stared at the Arasaka convoy and paid attention to David's personal safety. I will pass the information to Gloria, Pyla, Rebecca, pack up your things and get on the car with me. Grab the goods in your hand!"

Mann jumped off the stone pier and got into the car in no time, followed by Rebecca and Pilar.

He turned the aperture of his prosthetic eye, and quickly sent the situation here to Gloria, who immediately got a reply.

[Gloria Martinez: Mann, I'm sorry, I can only trouble you again. David only needs to be safe, and you should be more careful. 】

After receiving the reply, Mann didn't hesitate any more, he kicked the accelerator and started to act, looking for a better position so that he could cut off the enemy halfway.

Dorio picked up the binoculars and continued to check the situation of both teams.

I saw the hijacking convoy approaching quickly, and the Arasaka convoy lowered their windows one after another, firing wildly at the hijacking convoy.

David even leaned out from the roof window and bombarded wildly with a heavy machine gun.

Dorio soon discovered that the firepower of the Arasaka convoy did not seem to be sufficient, and the convoy was not accompanied by many people.

'Is it intentional? 'She had to suspect that this hijacking was probably organized against David.

Even if David survived the hijacking, it would be difficult to stay in Arasaka if he lost his cargo.

Dorio then told Mann her speculation, and wanted to confirm Faraday's commission, whether to do it or not.

Mann, who was driving the vehicle, replied decisively: "Of course the entrustment will be done, but the possibility of failure is very high."

Dorio said with a smile: "It seems that I can only go back to Gloria to make up for it."

Braving the rain of bullets, the hijacking convoy directly crashed into the Arasaka convoy, quickly separating the two amphibious armored vehicles.

As planned, after crashing into the Arasaka convoy, someone quickly jumped onto the amphibious armored vehicle, forcibly blasted the cockpit door of the vehicle, and rushed in without thinking about their own lives, seizing control of the vehicle.

Seeing this situation, David didn't care about shooting with a machine gun. He picked up the machine gun and jumped onto the roof of the car. He jumped into the enemy convoy and shot and killed them.

The other team members also rushed to support, but the opponent's numbers were superior, coupled with the chaos of the gun battle, a small number of special service members were shot dead one after another.

David killed several people in a row, snatched a convertible off-road vehicle from the opponent, and killed one of the amphibious armored vehicles.

A fierce fight was taking place in the cockpit. After David got close, he jumped on it without hesitation, and got into the cockpit to fight.

There was a burst of gunfire, the cockpit was splattered with blood and minced flesh, and several electronic screens were cracked by stray bullets.

The unmanned armor tilted severely, turned around in place, and hit several cars one after another.

David quickly rushed to the driving position and tried to control the vehicle, but found that there was a problem with the steering wheel.

He looked out the window anxiously, and found that another armored vehicle was already driving towards the distance under the escort of the hijacking convoy.

David was in a state of dismay, seeing that the other party still left some people to continue the massacre, and the secret service members were killed one by one.

He could only defend the cabin door desperately to prevent this armored vehicle from falling into the enemy's hands.

After killing several people who wanted to enter the cabin door one after another, he suddenly found that there seemed to be new movements outside.

A modified business vehicle came out of nowhere, knocked over two small cars, and entered the hijacking convoy.

The kidnappers outside had electric arcs blowing from their heads like an electric shock, and then fell down with a burst of white smoke.

There are hackers? !

The other party moved extremely fast, and the remaining members of the hijacked convoy were also shot to death one after another, and the movement outside became smaller and smaller.

David stepped on the brake, finally stopped the armored vehicle, and then rolled out of the cockpit.

Seeing the mess everywhere, the convoy was completely destroyed, and all the team members who followed him on the mission were killed in the attack.

He jumped off the ground and walked towards the modified car he had just rescued, holding the machine gun tightly in his hand.

The driver, Falco, saw David's vigilance, and explained with a smile on his face: "Relax my friend, we were invited by your mother."

my mother?

David was stunned for a moment. He thought the other party was another group of people who wanted to hijack the goods, but he didn't expect that it was Gloria who invited the rescuers.

Dorio and Qiwei got out of the car, and seeing David with a dazed expression, Dorio explained.

"It's a bit complicated to say, but you should have seen us, at your house."

After being reminded, David immediately remembered that on the night not long after the car accident, a group of cyberpunks suddenly broke into his house, aggressively begging for something.

Could it be that after Gloria hired Lizi's proprietress, she hired them as commissions?

David didn't know much about his mother, but he could tell that she seemed to be getting more and more difficult.

He put down the gun in his hand. The fierce battle just now made him a little nervous. After confirming that it was his own, he said apologetically.

"Thank you."

If it wasn't for them just now, David might not be able to keep anything, and now at least he still has one cargo in his hands.

Dorio didn't care about these things. Seeing the mess on the ground, she suddenly found that the rear door of the armored vehicle was broken.

She reminded: "The goods you shipped may have to change places."

David turned around quickly, only to find that the rear compartment door had been blasted open during the battle, and hurried forward to check the situation.

When I came to the trunk of the car, I found that there was a mechanical cabinet inside, which was big enough for one person to lie in.

A string of characters marked on the counter - Prosthetic King Kong.

In the mechanical cabinet, a set of combat implants was fixed in order, and two prosthetic bodies that looked like giant black wheel engines made him extremely curious.

Seeing that David was standing in the back compartment without any movement, Dorio and Qiwei also stepped forward to check.

Dorio asked, "What is this?"

David shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Instead, it was Qi Wei who was on the side, holding the electronic tablet, inputting some model information of the combat implant, and said after confirming.

"It should be an experimental comprehensive combat implant with its own anti-gravity system and magnetic field control. It is probably newly developed by Arasaka Company."

David looked at the prosthetic body and was a little dazed, thinking that when he took the physical function test at that time, he got a good evaluation of physical function quality.

Katsuo Tanaka had boasted to him that the R&D department had several top-secret combat implants, and he might have a chance to try them out.

David was a little worried when he saw this pair of mechanical cabinets. How to get such a big thing back, the car was basically scrapped, and one piece of goods was taken away.

Do you want to try loading it?

Maybe use this combat implant to get back the cargo and send both of them back to Arasaka Tower.

Qiwei saw his thoughts, and said calmly: "I advise you not to think about it, this kind of experimental combat implant may have just left the factory, and it has not been tested for compatibility. If the intensity of use is too high, your brain and nerves will be exhausted." won't be able to bear it."

Dorio asked him to wait first, saying that Mann and the others had already gone to grab the goods.

Before David could express his gratitude, Dorio received a message from Pila.

"Come on, we were ambushed, and Mann was shot."

Dorio looked horrified.

　None tonight!
　　I originally wanted to write two chapters, but it was too late, and [-] words is equivalent to two chapters, woo woo.
