Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Wild West.

The dust all over the sky is scattered by the wind, rolling up a piece of earthy yellow world, which is extremely bleak.

In a weathered stone forest, Mann and the others were hiding behind dirt and rocks, their faces full of anxiety and tension, blood spilled from the corners of their chapped lips, which had been dried by the dry wind and scabbed.

Mann frowned, fine beads of sweat slipped from the corners of his forehead, and his broad chest was whistling like a blower.

Using the military-grade Swan Westan many times in a row put him under a huge physical load.

Under the scorching desert sun, he was scorched physically and mentally.

Rebecca found that Mann had been shot in many places. Although the subcutaneous armor protected part of the damage, the heavy fireballs still left burn marks.

She cared very worriedly: "Mann, are you still able to resist? You can't use it anymore!"

Mann suppressed the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and forced a smile: "It's okay, I'll be fine after a while, have they chased me?"

Rebecca poked her head out cautiously, checked the surrounding situation, and said in a deep voice, "They are still looking. There are more stones here, which is enough for us to hide for a while. I have already contacted Dorio and the others. Just wait."

Pila took out the few high-explosive grenades left on his body, sandwiched them between his metal fingers for the last wave of counterattack, and then cursed angrily: "You horse rider, I knew I would bring more grenades, and kill them all!" Send it to the west."

Rebecca couldn't help but complained: "It's been said that the four-eyed guy is unreliable, and he didn't keep his promise. He backhanded us, saying that there was a missing piece of goods, why don't you blame those useless guys who just robbed us?" Here comes one."

Mann could only smile wryly twice, the muscles in the wound were pulled and pulled, and he grinned in pain: "It's careless, he probably didn't intend to let us go from the beginning."

He guessed that it was Dorio and the others who helped David guard the goods and were discovered by Faraday.

Just now, Mann pursued the hijacking convoy as planned. After a chase, the goods were about to arrive, but another team broke out halfway.

The sudden attack knocked Mann and the others to the ground.

Mann discovered that the team that attacked them turned out to be the Arasaka troops, who were well-equipped and even equipped with heavy plasma cannons. It looked like Tang Yu's accompanying troops that night at the abandoned steel factory.

Arasaka Elite Team?

What surprised Mann even more was that Faraday was also on the team.

At first, Mann thought it was just a misunderstanding, and just about to get out of the car to explain, he was violently attacked by the other party. He had to activate the rapid nerve response urgently, and took Pila and Rebecca to hide.

And hijacked convoy personnel, without exception, all died.

Followed by.

Mann saw a man in a white suit in the crowd in Arasaka, and after instructing Fala for the first time, he approached the amphibious armored vehicle, opened the rear compartment door and got in, and the vehicle then started to drive towards the city.

Faraday stayed behind and continued to clear the field with the Arasaka Elite Team.

After several confrontations with the elite team, Mann killed two opponents, and was shot and injured himself. In addition, he was exhausted and physically overwhelmed by turning on Sean Westan many times.

Since the weathered stone forest is relatively vast, the three of them took advantage of their speed to hide behind the big rocks, and it was difficult for Farah to find them for a while.

But this is not a long-term solution, and sooner or later he will be killed by the opponent.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, Faraday walked slowly in the weathered stone forest. The three prosthetic eyes on his left face kept turning to check the surrounding environment.

At the same time, the Arasaka elite team cooperated with the search for traces, and the Arasaka armed floating vehicle in the mid-air overhead emitted a laser matrix to increase the detection range.

Faraday was sure that Mann and the others were hiding nearby, and said confidently as he walked: "I am amazed by the quality of your Sianweistan, and the equipment is experimental in military technology, right? Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be willing to be a Little white mouse. It seems that the Arasaka company thinks highly of you, are you running an errand for him?"

The wind was rustling, but no one responded.

But Faraday didn't care, he believed that Mann could hear him, so he continued to prod.

"To be honest, that Tang in Arasaka is already unreliable. Today is probably his last day in Night City."

"After he falls, the middleman in Lizzie's Bar, and you will have a hard time staying any longer."

Faraday felt that his luck was not bad. At the beginning, Tang Yu, a high-level executive in Arasaka, supported Gloria, the new middleman, and forced him to temporarily back down, losing the big order from the military technology side.

The military technology was extremely disappointed with him, and even Mann no longer listened to his orders, which made Faraday extremely angry.

Unexpectedly, time passed so quickly, everything turned upside down again, and the senior management of Arasaka Company took the initiative to contact him.

Faraday used the known information about the Mann team and Gloria to communicate with the secret pile of the Arasaka Special Operations Department, and confirmed that the high-level executive of the Arasaka company who supported Gloria was Tang Yu.

For this reason, Arasaka once again gave him a chance to stand up, assist Ye Bai Xianzhi to get the goods, and at the same time cut off Tang Yu's wings, Martinez mother and son, and Mann's team.

Just now, Ye Bai Xianzhi had already obtained the prosthetic body he wanted. As for the other item, which was required by the R&D department for David Martinez, it was out of his consideration.

When Rebecca heard Faraday mentioning Tang Yu, she was furious, and wanted to know what would happen to Tang Yu today.

But when he saw that Mann was seriously injured and everyone was in deep danger, he still gritted his teeth and held back the conflict, cursing in his heart: "Damn! Damn! Damn!"

Mann showed a look of helplessness, and almost everything Faraday said was true, but he did not expect that the secret was discovered in the end.

He was worried about this problem at the beginning, and cooperating with Tang Yu would implicate the Mann team.

The infighting between companies is far more than limited to the life and death of a person.

But Mann knew that without Tang Yu, they might not be able to get to where they are today.

It was he who insisted on installing the military-grade Sian Westin, and it was he who owed Tang Yu time and time again, no wonder other people.

Mann's eyes gradually became firmer. If one life can be exchanged for another, perhaps all this will end here, at least it can help Tang Yu gain some buffer time.

He looked at the environment of the stone forest around him, planning to make a sudden move, find the right opportunity to rush up, fight Faraday to the death, and buy time for Rebecca and Pyla to escape.

Rebecca saw that Mann's expression was wrong, and began to reappear the previous daze and trance, and immediately understood his thoughts, and reminded: "Mann! Take heart, we can escape, Dorio and the others immediately Just come!"

Mann's stiff face showed a somewhat calm smile: "Pyla, you will use the grenade to cover my actions later, after detonating, you should hurry up and escape."

Before Rebecca could refute, Mann raised his hand and hit her hard on the back of the neck, causing Rebecca to faint.

Seeing this scene, Pila said helplessly: "Are you sure?"

Mann nodded heavily, his eyes were extremely firm, and his mind was clear at this moment.

His quick nerve response ability is enough to use a long distance, and he is sure to kill Faraday.

The Sian Weistein implanted by the Arasaka elite team is also of good quality, a little short in speed and reaction time, but has an absolute advantage in numbers.

Mann only has one chance to make a shot. If he succeeds, he can exchange one for another. If he misses, he can only buy some time for Pyla and Rebecca to escape.

Seeing that Mann's plan has been decided, Pila suddenly said seriously: "Mann, if you can go back together, I swear I will buy you a better arm cannon, so as not to keep getting stuck at critical moments."

Mann smiled, and after resting for a few minutes, he obviously felt that the temperature of his spine had dropped a lot, not as hot as before.

He tried his best to calm his chest breathing, and the moment his whole body relaxed, he shouted: "Go!"

Pila obeyed the order and quickly threw all the grenades, falling towards the Arasaka elite team.

burst!burst!burst!
Several Arasaka personnel immediately dodged and left the explosion site, but were still affected by fragments of high-explosive grenades.

in confusion.

Mann immediately activated his quick nerve response, rushed out from the other side, took advantage of the aftermath of the explosion to aim at the target Faraday, and charged straight away.

Farah's third prosthetic eye turned at high speed, trying to catch the attacking figure, but the opponent's speed was too fast to react in time.

A gust of wind whizzed in, Farah's fourth eye widened, and his vision was filled with a black hole in the muzzle.

Sudden.

The corner of Faraday's mouth rose.

sizzle.
An electric spark suddenly shot out from Mann's spine, and his whole body suddenly lost strength. Due to the inertia of the rapid movement, he fell into the air, continuously rolled and splashed a cloud of dust, and lay on the ground convulsing unconsciously.

Faraday put his hands firmly in his pockets, looked sideways at Mann, and sneered disdainfully: "The desperate cyberpunk should at least learn to have a long memory."

The Arasaka elite team immediately resumed their formation, and then dodged to pursue, blocking Pila's way with plasma cannons.

Pila carried Rebecca on his shoulders, facing the arcing muzzle, not daring to make the slightest movement.

Faraday raised his hand, just about to order to kill everyone present.

Sudden.

A huge invisible pressure enveloped him, as if a thousand catties of pressure hit every joint in his body.

Almost instantly, a circle of ground centered on him sank.

Faraday's bones and joints were destroyed by this invisible pressure, and his entire body was slapped to the ground with an extremely exaggerated curvature.

His legs were folded on top of his head, half of his cheek was pressed against the dirt, and his three prosthetic eyes popped out, full of disbelief.

Faraday understood the situation when he saw a humanoid prosthetic mech arrive at the scene.

He opened his eyes wide and full of reluctance, and tried to open his mouth and muttered: "You, you are just a low-level bastard in Arasaka, how dare you?"

puff!

Another heavy pressure fell, blood, water and meat slag splashed, directly crushing Faraday into a meat paste.

David successfully loaded the prosthetic King Kong and finally arrived at the scene at the last moment.

He was sweating profusely, looking around anxiously for another armored vehicle, but the only thing that greeted him was the black muzzle of the Arasaka Elite Team.

David panted, and immediately revealed his identity, but the other party turned a blind eye and attacked him directly.

As a last resort, David could only raise his huge mechanical arms to block the vital points, and withstood the opponent's first wave of offensive.

He seized the opportunity to use magnetic force to absorb everyone's guns almost instantly.

The Arasaka armed floating vehicle above the head launched a heavy fire attack on David, and at the same time activated the heavy pressure matrix to cover him.

David could only activate the anti-gravity system, holding on tightly, and the bottom of the machine stepped out of a deep pit.

Facing the rain of bullets and the heavy pressure of the matrix, he raised his gun towards the armed floating vehicle, and fired several plasma cannons.

The electric arc enveloped the floating car, quickly destroying its electronic equipment, and the power system of the floating car failed, making it crooked and unstable.

David felt the pressure all over his body relax, but the members of the elite team around him kept shooting at him.

Growing impatient, he tried to shout to dissuade them, but only bullets answered him.

In anger, David activated the mechanical running wheel on the soles of his feet. When avoiding the bullet attack, he quickly activated the magnetic field pressure, crushing all the members of the elite team into meat paste.

Completely ended the fight.

He stood in place, seeing the wreckage in front of him, he was a little unbelievable, the prosthetic King Kong was really powerful.

Dorio and Qiwei rushed to the scene and quickly rescued Mann who had fallen on the ground. After checking his vital signs, they found that there was still a faint trace of breath, and his consciousness was still there.

David walked to the side of the crowd and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm late."

Dorio said seriously: "Mann is still alive, we must send him back to the city for rescue."

David was still thinking about another cargo: "Hurry up and get in the car."

Qi Wei glanced at David, like a mechanical giant, but his face was pale and less bloody, and he said calmly: "You'd better not use this prosthetic body anymore, obviously you can't bear this level of load for long."

David resolutely said: "It's okay, I can handle it."

Done.

Scarlet nosebleeds flowed down from his nostrils, gurgling non-stop.

Qi Wei didn't persuade her anymore, everyone has their own choice.

Just when Dorio lifted Mann and carried him on his back, Mann suddenly opened his eyes, looked at David with difficulty and said.

"Faraday still has a backup. Gloria is in danger."

David was startled for a moment, never thinking that his mother would be involved in this matter.

There was no time to ask, he had to rush back to Night City as quickly as possible, and he definitely couldn't take off the prosthetic King Kong.

Dorio added: "This attack is likely to be organized against you, and it is related to Mr. Arasaka Tang. I suggest you proceed with caution."

David tried to calm down, the aperture of the prosthetic eye turned, and he called his mother first.

After a while, half of the stone in his heart fell.

Gloria told David that everything was fine on her side.

David reminded her to be careful, and Faraday arranged a covert operation.

After giving the instructions, he immediately decided to intercept the fleeing cargo before rushing to Night City.

David activated the positioning system, looking for clues to lock the location of the amphibious armored vehicle and its advancing route.

Company Square?

He found that the other party had not changed the navigation positioning, and the armored vehicle was still driving automatically towards the intended destination.

David looked at the prosthetic King Kong on his body, and instantly guessed something.

The other party seemed to be aiming at the cargo in the car, an implant that was comparable to or even surpassed the Prosthetic King Kong.

Dorio was carrying Mann on her back and was about to send him to the car, when she suddenly felt pinched twice in front of her.

She glared at Mann behind her angrily, but he said with a playful smile.

"This works much better than inhibitors."

"By the way, go to Lao Wei, he will definitely save me."

After speaking, Mann couldn't hold on any longer, and his head fell on Dorio's shoulder.

After Dorio immediately helped Mann into the car, she turned her head and shouted to David, "How is it? What are your plans?"

David said frankly: "Maybe I have to trouble you, I will go to the company square."

No longer wasting time, everyone squeezed into the front of the car and gave up the position of the rear compartment to David.

in the carriage.

David's mechanical bulk took up most of the space in the back seat, and Qi Wei connected the data cable of the prosthetic King Kong into the notebook to quickly help it debug its functions.

"The Prosthetic King Kong is slightly damaged and does not affect its use."

"But you need to inject inhibitors now, otherwise the high-intensity nerve pain stimulation will make your will collapse."

When Dorio heard what Qiwei said, she quickly took out several green jars, including breathing and injection, and handed them to Qiwei.

"It's Mann's spare, he can't use it now, give it to him."

Qi Wei covered David's mouth and nose with a respiratory inhibitor, pressed the switch, and a mist sprayed into his nasal cavity, instantly refreshing his brain and lungs.

David said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

Now his limbs are huge mechanical bodies, squeezed in the rear compartment, unable to complete the injection, and can only rely on Qiwei's help.

Mann was lying in Dorio's arms. He had taken several bottles of respiratory inhibitors, but his vital signs were still weak.

Rebecca lay unconscious on the deck, and Pyla looked after her.

After inhaling and injecting inhibitors one after another, David felt his whole body cool down, and the burning pain caused by the prosthetic body eased a lot.

Qi Wei took off the data connection, and said in a deep voice: "I suggest you take a rest and replenish some energy."

David closed his eyes, and after a while, he asked, "You know about my mother, right? She has been hiding it from me."

"We had a car accident that day, which led to the subsequent misunderstanding."

"Actually, I want to thank you all. That money is really important to us."

Qiwei looked up at David, but didn't speak, while Dorio, who was sitting in front, replied.

"The misunderstanding has been resolved. At that time, we were also blamed for being too impulsive and not knowing your situation."

As he said that, Dorio touched Mann's rough cheek: "Mann is not malicious, anyone who knows him knows that he is a man of faith."

David went on to say: "So that transaction was completed with the help of Mr. Tang, right? Is the trade item Mann's Swan Westan?"

When he rushed to the scene, he noticed that Mann's fast nerve reaction was so fast that he even passed the Arasaka elite team, and even he couldn't catch up.

David accepted the basic cyber transformation of Arasaka Company, and because of his field missions, the quality of his prosthetic body was higher than that of other employees of the company.

Similarly, he also implanted Sean Westin, but the effect was much worse than Mann's.

Dorio admitted David's guess, and there was no need to hide it when the matter developed to this point.

She could foresee that David's entry into Arasaka must have Tang Yu's help, plus he is Gloria's son, and he just rescued Mann, so he is a member of the same camp.

"The person who ambushed Mann just now, the person you killed was Faraday. He was the middleman we contacted before. After various things, we changed to pick up work from Gloria, and basically had no contact with him."

"Probably out of competition, Faraday seized this opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of his opponent."

"Not long ago, we just received Faraday's order and came here to hijack the goods, so we met you."

"Moreover, this incident seems to have affected Mr. Tang. Mann said Faraday is also supported by Arasaka senior management."

David's heart suddenly tightened and he supported Faraday's company executives.

The old woman, Susan Abernathy, Director of Special Operations, first came to his mind.

There will be no second person except her.

This operation is absolutely confidential, and she is the one who approved it.

The convoy was inexplicably attacked in this remote desert area, and the middleman Faraday arranged for Mann's team to entrust, and even the Arasaka elite team was dispatched.

His entire actions were exposed to the eyes of the enemy, and he did not expect that the people who attacked Arasaka's convoy in the end were actually Arasaka's people.

David only found it ironic. He didn't understand before that Carter Smith in the company was involved in the company's struggle and his whereabouts were unknown. The deputy minister Kate died after being dismissed.

Now he understands that from the moment he joins the company, everyone is attacking each other, and only the one who survives to the end is qualified to ascend to the throne of power.

now.

He has new feelings and understandings of what Tang Yu said and what he did. Like him, he is dealing with factional struggles, and he is facing the danger of life and death at all times when he fights with Susan Abernathy and others.

Assassination, expulsion, power seizure, framing, etc. are all indispensable means of struggle to be dealt with.

David had extreme doubts about himself and felt that he would never be able to be like Tang Yu.

He doesn't like such a world of intrigue, there is no trust, no friendship, no help, there is only the cruelty and strife where everything is superior and the winner is king.

Taking a few deep breaths, he filtered out the clutter.

He knew that a product launch conference was being held in the company square, and Tang Yu was in charge of the organization.

He had to stop the goods before they arrived at the company square. If the goods in another armored vehicle were an implant similar to the prosthetic King Kong, there might be big problems at the press conference, and even Tang Yu would be in danger .

Think about this.

The aperture of David's righteous eyes turned, and quickly sent the situation here to Tang Yu so that he could make countermeasures.

Company Square, product launch site.

An Arasaka armed floating convoy approached the sky and landed slowly surrounded by various armed forces.

Tang Yu is wearing special glasses, ready to watch the upcoming product launch.

Meredith stood beside him, and asked with a smile: "You guys have made a lot of noise this time, are you sure you can calm down the situation?"

Tang Yu replied indifferently: "It's hard to say, it depends on the opponent's means, but if you play too much with fire, you will always burn yourself."

Meredith smiled: "I can't keep you, but the person who keeps you is fine."

After the floating car stopped firmly, the door slid open automatically, and a group of warrior bodyguards went up to guard the surrounding area.

Arasaka Yoshinobu himself stepped out of the floating car and immediately became the focus of the audience.

Prince Arasaka arrived in Night City, made his public appearance for the first time, and will introduce new products to be released soon.

Behind Lai Xuan is Adam Hammer, whose black mechanical body is like a demon god.

Adam Heavy Hammer's scarlet prosthetic eyes scanned the audience coldly, as if they were looking down on a large group of ants.

With a silver safe in his hand, he followed behind Arasaka Raiko without saying a word.

The last one to get out of the floating car is Anderson Hellman, who will be the host of the press conference and introduce the product to everyone present.

Herman's eyes were eager, and he looked around for a while, until he saw Tang Yu's figure, he felt a little more at ease.

He was a little worried, according to Tang Yu's plan, whether Adam's heavy hammer would crush his head with one palm.

Tang Yu confirmed that Arasaka Laixuan and Adam Chonghammer had left the Cyan Bi Building, and then sent a message to V, indicating that she and Jack could take action.

Just after the message was sent, he received a message from David.

The unknown shipment was heading towards the company square, and someone was about to attack Gloria.

Tang Yu gently raised his glass to Aunt Mei.

"Then trouble you."

None tonight!
