Cyberpunk: 2075

Time gradually recovered its original speed in his senses. In this no longer slow flow, David witnessed the whole process.

The Arasaka personnel ignored the impact on himself, just threw a warning to David, and then continued to swing the mantis knife according to the original trajectory. At the critical moment when Mann's head was about to be chopped off, Mann gave up the projectile launch system that had not yet been fully transformed, raised the modified left hand, and blocked it in front of him.

Mann used an arm as a price to exchange for precious moments of struggle. Although the subcutaneous armor and projectile launch system of his left hand were easily cut by the mantis knife, as if the blade was sliding through butter, this sacrifice finally achieved his goal.

As Mann's arm broke, blood gushed out from the cross section, forming a bloody "fountain". The blood rain from the fountain fell on the face of the Arasaka personnel, and blocked his eyes when he had temporarily exhausted his strength after swinging the mantis knife.

The Arasaka personnel's vision was disturbed for a moment, and only for a moment.

If at this time, the Arasaka personnel was facing Mann, who had not lost his gun, left hand, and projectile launch system, then in this moment, Mann would be enough to take his life, but in order to cover David and protect his head, he lost the weapon on his right hand and his left arm in succession. At this time, Mann could only take advantage of this moment, which should have been a perfect time to attack, and tilted his head back.

The right hand tightly grasped the scrapped heavy machine gun, which was firmly suppressed by the Arasaka personnel's left arm mantis knife; the left hand was ruthlessly cut off by the opponent's right arm mantis knife, and both feet were now The only support and force point for the body was provided by the ground. In this life-or-death moment, the only weapons Mann could rely on were his wisdom and brain.

What is wisdom?

Wisdom is to use the head that was almost cut off a moment ago, lean back, and then...:

A moment passed, and when the Arasaka member blinked and his vision became clear again, he saw an extremely hard head, which was slamming into his face with the force of thunder.

The hardest part of the skull is the frontal bone, which is a pair of membranous bones in the upper part of the front of the skull. Mann installed subcutaneous armor on the outside of this bone, close to the scalp. When this extremely hard "heavy hammer" hit the unprepared face of the Arasaka member, the result was that the Arasaka member's body began to lean back involuntarily.

"It seems that you don't have subcutaneous armor on your face like those crazy people in the Uzumaki Gang! "

The face was extremely sore, the nose was crooked, and the nosebleed and tears flowed involuntarily because of the severe pain. The Arasaka personnel leaned back and had only one thought in their mind.

Why do the guys from Military Technology like to use physical attacks now? The younger one uses elbows, and the older one uses his head. Are they from the Animal Gang? Why do the people from Military Technology recruit anyone?'

When the Arasaka personnel couldn't help leaning back, David raised his pistol.

Technical weapons faced the subcutaneous armor made of nanofiber material of Arasaka. It takes a while for the bullet to have the power to break through the defense, but after Mann verified with actual actions that the Arasaka personnel had no subcutaneous armor on his face,

David's gun was only pointed at one point.

The bullet was fired without any energy storage, hitting the face of the Arasaka personnel accurately. With the "puff" sound of the bullet piercing the flesh and blood, the body of the Arasaka personnel who leaned back froze in mid-air for a moment, and then as if he had lost all his strength and support, he collapsed.

His brain was pierced diagonally by the bullet that entered from the upper palate. No matter how much the Arasaka personnel's last remaining consciousness wanted to struggle, after his cerebral cortex was turned into mud by the impact of the bullet, he lost all possibility of struggle.

"Plop."

"Huff, huff, huff..."

He panted heavily, dropped the heavy machine gun in his right hand, and used his free right hand to tightly grasp the broken part of his left arm, while trying to keep the remaining left arm as close to his body as possible to reduce blood flow. Mann couldn't help but breathe heavily, but as soon as he got rid of the Arasaka member by chance, he smiled and praised David:

"David, well done, you saved my life again.""

"Mann..."

Watching the blood constantly leaking out from Mann's tightly clenched fingers, dripping into the hole Blood-dropped sand balls formed on the dust inside.

David's face was full of self-blame. He knew that if it wasn't for his daze, the Arasaka staff member would never have been able to cut off Mann's arm.

This was all because of his youth and lack of experience. When he heard the voice of the Arasaka staff, he didn't immediately wonder why the voice was so loud that they could hear it, and he subconsciously believed it. It was because of his stupidity that Mann not only almost died, but also lost an arm.

"Don't worry."

Looking at David with shame and regret on his face, Mann was comforting David even though he was the one who lost an arm: "Compared to me who only lost an arm, this Arasaka bastard has already fallen to the ground. I exchanged an arm for a life, so I'm not at a loss."

As he spoke, perhaps because of the loss of strength caused by the rapid loss of blood, Mann staggered back a few steps and sat down against the rubble. After that, he seemed to think of something, and his gradually pale face smiled: "And I only lost one hand when I saved my life. In comparison, I am much luckier."

I only lost one hand when I saved my life. In comparison, I am much luckier...:

David, who was still a little worried about Mann's injury, couldn't help but twitch his face because of his words.

David knew who Mann was talking about. The mission they carried out together was known to everyone in the team when Mann boasted after drinking. The person Mann was comparing to lost two hands when he saved his life. If you really count it this way, Mann is indeed lucky.

"Stop talking, Mann."

David glanced around the corner, and no one came in. It seemed that the Arasaka personnel outside had either really fought with the military technology personnel, or they believed in the ability of the dead Arasaka personnel. So he approached Mann, took out the medical hemostatic agent and injected it into Mann's left shoulder, and then tried to help Mann up.

"Let's go in first, Mann. When we get in, I'll find a way to treat your wound first."

"That's the only way."

Mann was helped by David to stand up again and walked towards the rubble they had moved out. When passing by the dead body, Mann took a look at the Arasaka personnel whose face was shattered and whose head was missing a few pieces.

His eyes caught the other party's badge, which read...,

It turned out that he was a captain in the Arasaka Security Department. No wonder he was so strong. Even if this kind of opponent was placed in the Arasaka Tower, he would be responsible for the protection of an entire floor.

But...

Mann looked at David who was supporting him, and the smile on his face remained.

But compared to this strength, we are still far behind.’
