Cyberpunk: 2075

"Crack."

After breaking the neck of a nightwalker who was facing away from him, Carl sent a message in the team communication: "Successfully entered the cave, the enemy is eliminated."

"I'm done here too."

V also broke the neck of a nightwalker in the cave at the same time as Carl took action.

"This should be the last one in the cave."

"I hope the nightwalker doesn't react so quickly and go back to the cave to see the situation."

Carl said, nodding to V not far away. The two of them were responsible for entering the cave to rescue possible targets, while Jack and another wanderer holding a crusher shotgun stayed at the entrance of the cave, ready to block the nightwalkers entering the cave. Finally, Oliver holding a cat-shaped gun and a wanderer holding a Saratoga submachine gun provided support outside and cooperated with the internal and external pincers at the critical moment.

This team was decided after a little discussion, which was a reasonable allocation, and the feeling of actually implementing it...

Carl can only say that it was very comfortable.

V understood without him saying anything, and cooperated with him to complete the infiltration perfectly. When breaking and twisting the neck of the person, they did it together without any communication.

"You are very capable. I think if you become a mercenary in the future, you will definitely be able to do great things."

V shook his head at Carl's words: "I just want to be a wanderer who runs freely in the bad land now. It's quite free."

"Being a mercenary is actually quite free. If you have nowhere to go in the future, you can consider it. Our team welcomes people with ability to join."

"Nowhere to go...:"

Listening to Carl's seemingly ordinary words, I don't know why it sounds like a very firm word. V thought about it, but gave an uncertain answer: "When the time really comes, I will consider this kind of thing."

The atmosphere in the family is really not good now, otherwise they would not come out to find work. If there is really no way to elect a qualified family leader, the family will split, or join some snake state, V himself is actually not sure what he can do at that time.

Maybe by then, it would be nice to be a mercenary.

"Ka."

Just as Carl and V were walking inside, they heard a strange sound coming from deeper inside the cave. It sounded like a heavy machine was stepping on the ground.

This strange sound made Carl's hair stand on end, because he was very sensitive to this kind of sound. The last time he encountered it was during an escort mission.

This was the sound of a huge mechanical foot stepping on the ground.

"Boom!"

Just as Carl made a vigilant move, a ball of fire burst out in the darkness deep in the cave in front of him. Then, under the gaze of Carl and V, a humanoid mechanical structure with a height of nearly two meters and three meters walked out of the fire.

The humanoid mechanical structure, which was assembled from a bunch of messy parts, had a rotating machine gun installed on its left hand and a long knife on its right hand. Under the long knife, there was a flamethrower.

Looking into the structure from the gap between the parts, you can see a middle-aged man with messy hair and oily clothes, who is surrounded by machinery and controlling something. When he saw Carl and V, his expression became obviously excited.

"Nightwalker bastards, you are dead!"

Damn, this guy looks familiar from the gap. Could he be the target of the mission that needs to be rescued?

Is the thing he is wearing an assembled exoskeleton? How did he make this thing under the nose of the nightwalker? This thing is almost as big as a medium-sized ACPA!

Do you think you are a genius inventor kidnapped by terrorists!

Carl was about to explain that he came to save him, but this military technology engineer was obviously imprisoned and tortured by too many nightwalkers. When he saw Carl and V, he had already pulled the trigger of the rotary machine gun.

"Damn it!"

Karl could only dodge while yelling: "We are mercenaries who have accepted the commission and are here to help you! We are here to help you!"

"You are a bunch of night-wandering ghosts, you still want to deceive me!"

It would have been better if Karl didn't say anything. After he said it, the engineer was obviously touched by something, and the bullet followed the trajectory of Karl's dodge: "You used this routine to deceive me once, do you really think I am a fool!"

"You are really an idiot!"

He sprayed back without hesitation, rolled into a steel device in a cave, and felt the sound of bullets hitting the other side of the steel device. Karl did not forget to yell at V: "He is the target, be careful, don't kill him."

"I can't kill him even if I want to, is this ACPA!"

V, who was also hiding behind a mechanical device, was already numb. What the hell is this, is it so exciting?

"It's just an exoskeleton. Okay, I admit, it's a little big, but it's really just an exoskeleton. We have to find a way to stop it and make this half-crazy guy talk properly."

"That has to be done."

The gunshots in the cave obviously attracted the attention of the night ghosts outside the cave. A few seconds later, gunshots were heard outside the cave. It seemed that Jack and his men were also in a fight.

"This is the first time I've been tricked by the target I need to save. The kidnappers hit me, and the target also hit me. Is this mission reasonable!"

Carl complained, but had to think about whether there was a way to stop the target from going crazy while ensuring that his hands and feet were intact.

I couldn't think of it for the time being, so I tried the civilized approach again.

"We are really here to save you, and we accepted a commission from a middle-aged man with blue eyes."

"What middle-aged man with blue eyes? I don't know him. Do you still want to deceive me? Do you think I am an idiot as a top military technology engineer? I will kill you!"

"I am KK, do you know him? If not, Blanca, Blanca in your company is an acquaintance of mine!"

"KK, who, haven't you heard of Blanca, the new bitch in the Operations Department? I was wondering why my route was leaked this time. It turned out to be her doing. You bunch of night wanderers are actually her people. When I get out, I will kill her when I come back!"

Even more angry.

Okay, it turns out that Blanca is an enemy.

There is no other way. If he doesn't listen to reason, he can only use another reason.

After taking a deep breath, Carl rushed out of the bunker.

"Throw something over to cover me, V, I'm going to disarm it."

He only said this, but V already understood what he was going to do.

"You're a lunatic, KK!"

V also came out of the bunker, took out a grenade from his waist, pulled out the pin, and threw it towards KK.

"Catch it!"
