Cyberpunk: 2075

"What does this mark mean...

Karl distinguished the mark that looked like a claw. If this was indeed a claw of some kind, then from the appearance, it looked like some kind of creature stretched out its palm and firmly grasped a corner of the box.

If it is a hand, will it be on the other side?::

Karl moved his position, and sure enough, he saw exactly the same mark in the other corner corresponding to this mark.

His claws grasped the corners of the box, as if holding it up.

If you look at it from this posture, the body with its hands stretched out should be on the other side.

Carl moved his steps again, and stood on the back of the box amid the curious glances of other military technology members who were busy. However, Carl could not see any patterns in this place.

Guessed wrong?

No.

Karl walked to the other side of the box, stretched out his hands and peeled away the apples and plastic foam boards in the box. On the other side, corresponding to the claw marks, he saw a mass with white lines on the edges and a black bottom. The overall shape A pattern like a black flame.

In the black flames, there is a pattern of white bones.

This white skeleton does not look like a human bone. Instead, it looks like a lizard skull with an open mouth, and a vertebra is connected to the rear end.

This mark?

Karl always felt familiar.

Have you seen this style of pattern somewhere?:

After contacting Arasaka, Carl remembered where he had seen him.

Tiger Claw Gang.

The Tiger Claw Gang, a group of alternative bosozokus who like to modify motorcycles, like to put this style of sticker pattern on their cars.

Looking at it this way, this group of freight personnel really came from the Tiger Claw Gang, and their past behavior style has been carried over to their work.

No, are the people who deliver the goods to Arasaka qualified to open this kind of internal box? Shouldn't it be sealed over there and then asked to move it up?

The people who load the goods over there are very stylish and put their own stickers on the boxes. It doesn't seem like they have time to do such a thing in the busy work... ．

The problem was not solved, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it.

"Buzz - Just when Karl stood up, prepared to put this matter behind him for the time being, and started to move the vehicle with the almost sorted military technology, a warning buzz came from inside his combat uniform.

Karl didn't quite understand what this warning sound meant, but he could see clearly that when the warning sound sounded, the bodies of the surrounding military technology personnel tensed up instinctively.

“It seems like something terrible happened.

"An unknown vehicle is approaching quickly. Warn again, an unknown vehicle is approaching quickly!"

On the hillside where the vehicles were hidden in the distance, the security personnel were desperately issuing warnings through the communication.

Then, accompanied by a gunshot that resounded through the wilderness, the third warning stopped abruptly before it could be spoken, and turned into the sound of electric current.

"The reconnaissance post has gone silent."

In this operation, the word silence means... ．

The life signal disappears.

It was at this time that Karl saw the billowing smoke and dust outside the horizon. Judging from the rapidly approaching distance...

Looking at the horizon, one can roughly see 4.5 kilometers of scenery. However, in the Badlands of Night City, which is full of hills and slopes, this range has to be reduced by more than half. Add in the approaching speed, and roughly calculate, then The gunman who killed the reconnaissance post should have fired from a distance of about 700-800 meters.

On a moving vehicle, tackle fixed targets.

If he didn't rely on the combination of prosthetic body and prosthetic eyes to lock on, then the sniper's marksmanship would be pretty good.

"Get ready for battle!"

As Meredith yelled, Carl dodged behind the overturned truck. This kind of car body, which is difficult to destroy by ordinary mines, is obviously the best bunker now. When you don't know what kind of firepower the enemy has, choose a The thickest hide is always right.

The military technology personnel reacted and hurriedly started to avoid the homeless man holding the gun in his hand.

There were more than thirty people in total. It was obviously impossible for so many people to crowd behind two trucks and an armored vehicle. There were also many people close to Columbus who hid directly behind the Columbus freight truck.

As gunshots continued to ring out, the protection of the Columbus truck was easily torn through. Those who were hiding behind the Columbus truck had to abandon their bunkers when the vehicle started to burn due to the ethanol fuel.

Trying to find a new position to hide amid the gunfire.

But the result of these people was that they disappeared into the explosion of vehicles along with the sound of gunshots.

The fuel extracted from ethanol wheat has replaced petroleum in this era. It is a biofuel similar to alcohol. While this fuel is widely used in various vehicles and equipment, it also brings an inevitable The drawback is that this fuel can be easily ignited, and its spread of fire is much faster and more violent than that of oil.

In other words, if the vehicle protection is too fragile and the fuel tank is hit, the vehicle will catch fire and be scrapped faster than people think.

Looking at the military technicians who were lucky enough to avoid the explosion, rolling on the ground, and blocking the flames with their combat uniforms, Carl noticed that the wanderers who hid behind Columbus with them, compared with the military technicians who could roll on the ground and use sand and dust to put out the fire, the wanderers who had no protection on their bodies had been blown away and burned into charcoal in the flames.

Ordinary wanderers had neither combat uniforms nor fireproof plating under their skin, so it was only natural that they had such a result.

However, this group of people had already prepared for it.

Facing an enemy that opened fire crazily right from the start and did not look like someone who could negotiate, considering that there was no place to run in the surrounding wilderness, these night wanderers who should have been afraid of the enemy were also aroused.

Aiming at the sniper rifle, several night wanderers poked their heads out from behind the intact Columbus, holding the guns they had just looted from the Arasaka escorts, and began to shoot at the vehicles in the distance.

But at such a distance, coupled with the unfamiliarity of the weapons, the bullets splashed from their guns only added a line of noise to the wind in the Badlands.

The steady sound of the sniper rifle has never changed.

Carl noticed the head of another night walker exploded from the corner of his eye, but he was estimating the distance in his heart.

The other party obviously intended to annihilate them all, and had no intention of staying far away and slowly grinding them with the sniper, so he didn't need to be particularly anxious, just wait until they arrived.

What is the current distance?

The sniper rifle sounded like a kinetic weapon, so...,

Carl picked up the metal fragments belonging to the truck on the ground, wiped it, and ensured its surface gloss,

With the help of reflection, he looked at the flame light that lit up when the sniper rifle fired in the distance. The light emitted by the gunpowder was quite blurred in the reflection of the metal piece, but Carl still judged...:.

Can't judge.

Carl silently dropped the metal piece, just as if he had never picked it up.

He couldn't understand and judge the distance.

Most of the super dream movies in Night City were indoor battles or outdoor close-range battles. He had never learned how to use reflections to see the distance of blurry light spots.
