Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Afterlife Bar.

To our cyberdemon, Tommy! Mann raised his glass.

Tommy had already taken off his helmet and put it aside, raised his glass with everyone, and drank it all in one gulp.

BROSEPH beer has a refreshing taste and a mellow aftertaste after swallowing. Coupled with the economical price, cyberpunks never tire of drinking it.

Tommy, how did you do it? Your reaction speed is so fast. The speed of the razor's attack is like lightning, and the way you dodge his fist is like light. Dolio wiped his mouth, put down the bottle, and added He said: Don't fool me by telling me to go to bed early, get up early, and eat more meat, eggs, and milk.

I've experienced biological modification. Not pleasant memories came to mind, and Tommy took a sip of beer.

Biomodification, go to the prosthetic doctor?

It's not that kind of prosthesis. To put it simply, it's a surgical operation. Tommy gestured like he was holding a scalpel.

The doctor will lift up the skull on top of your head, and then first operate on the capillaries in the occipital lobe of your brain to change the direction of blood flow in the capillaries and promote blood flow under the rods and cones of the retina. In order to To deal with the rebels, Tommy's theoretical courses in the second phase of training required them to master anatomy well, so he talked about these things very familiarly.

Those in the Um team who hadn't gone to school had no idea what Tommy was talking about since the Occipital Lobe, like David who had just dropped out of school and was confused.

In this way, people's visual perception will be significantly enhanced. They understood this sentence.

Furthermore, it is superconducting fibrosis of neural dendrites. On the one hand, the conductive properties of neuronal dendrites are changed through the treatment of chemical reagents, and on the other hand, plasmids carrying targeted DNA are introduced into neurons to change the properties of neurons. Genetic material, thus consolidating the results of dendritic superconducting fibrosis.

In the end, I have the reaction ability I have now. So, do you understand?

Tommy looked around. Everyone was already in a trance.

Smiling helplessly, Tommy said to the bartender: Bring me a bottle of Bolshevik vodka.

Has anyone failed in this biological transformation? Rebecca asked at this time.

Is there any surgical operation that doesn't fail?

What happens if you fail?

Hajad's superconducting fibrosis surgery failed, and he suffered from Parkinson's disease, and he couldn't even hold a spoon; Kirk's occipital capillary reversal surgery had an accident, and he lost his retina, which he may have to do for the rest of his life. Accompanied by darkness and prosthetic eyes. More people died directly. The wine from the red bottle of vodka flowed into his throat, and the sharpness of the sickle and the bluntness of the hammer rubbed against his nerves. He thought of more things that he could not endure. Friends from the past.

It was the first time Rebecca saw such emotion on Tommy's face.

Then why do you need to undergo surgery? After a while of silence, Rebecca asked again. She knew she shouldn't continue to uncover the scars, but she just couldn't help but want to know him better.

For humanity. Tommy stroked his hand over the rough battle damage left on the Thor Hammer helmet from the Battle of Reach, At first, most of us couldn't accept that we were kidnapped and sent away to undergo such cruel training and transformation. Daisy even ran back home, but the cruel reality that followed made us realize that we had to do it for the continuation of humanity.

Everyone stared at him blankly, as the things that seemed like a fantasy came to life in his mouth.

Stop talking, you all just have to listen to the story I made up. I really became like this because of eating more meat, eggs and milk. Cheers to today's victory!

The collision of wine glasses made a crisp sound.

After three rounds of wine, we drank and drank together.

Do you know? When I first met Dolio, she beat me like a pig's head, hahaha! Mann laughed, with a drunken blush faintly visible on his dark face.

Others couldn't help but laugh together when they heard the interesting stories about the two of them in the past.

[Call: Kamano Nana]

Tommy smiled and answered the phone.

[Mr. Devil~] came the soft voice, which made people's hearts tingle.

【What’s wrong, Miss Kamano? 】

[It’s too much~ I’ve eaten people up and wiped them clean and still use honorifics~]

[It sounds like I’ve done everything, Nana. 】 Tommy's smile grew wider, and the softness and warmth of that night lingered between his teeth again.

[Obviously it’s almost done~ Speaking of which, I heard that you beat that ugly chimpanzee to death today. Well, I also wanted to come and celebrate with you, but I have to prepare for a concert recently, and I’m not done yet, so I can only make it up to you next time~]

[It doesn’t matter, I will look forward to how you will compensate me. 】 Tommy played with the wine glass in his hand, rubbing the side of the glass with his thumb.

【Just look forward to it~ I’m going to work, mua~】

Rebecca looked at the smile on Tommy's face and suddenly felt the urge to burst the bottle.

The party is over, outside the Afterlife Bar.

Huh~ I drank so much today. Pila stretched out.

Everyone walked forward together, because every time they returned from the afterlife, they had to cross the sidewalk in front before they could each go their own way, but today was different.

[Caller: Unknown]

【Who? ] Tommy answered the phone.

[Military technology. Mr. Price, your last errand for Arasaka seriously affected our plans. 】

[I'm just a mercenary, I just get paid to do things. Anything else? 】

[We take a fancy to your potential and do something for us. We will write off the scavenger incident and you will not be unfairly rewarded. 】

[Come and listen. 】 Tommy became interested. Making money was the top priority. It didn't matter who he worked for. Besides, the company always gave him a lot of money.

[It’s not convenient to talk on the phone. Please come to the Military Science and Technology Building now. 】

It won't be a waste to go there now.

I'm not going along with you this time, so I'm leaving first. Tommy waved to everyone.

Eh? Are you leaving today? Rebecca still wanted to chat with Tommy.

I'm here for something! Tommy's voice became smaller and smaller.

Tch, what a mysterious guy. Rebecca shrugged.

Mysterious guys are the most lovable. Mann took off his sunglasses and winked at Rebecca.

Humph! Only a devil would like him! Rebecca tilted her head.

The few remaining people still had to cross a sidewalk lined with wooden boxes and empty shipping containers.

The continuous water collided with the empty iron bucket, making a dull sound.

An exhibitionist bald man wearing only a coat stood on the container and peed into the empty iron bucket below.

It's so noisy! Bastard! Pyrrha yelled at the bald man.

The bald man muttered something while peeing, completely ignoring Pyrrha.

Why is he peeing here?

Peeed long and hard.

nausea.

Everyone was attracted by Pyrrha's voice and looked at the bald head.

What's wrong with you? You're an idiot peeing in the street! Pyrrha pointed her middle finger at the bald head.

Seeing that the bald man ignored him, Pyrrha knocked on the container to try to attract his attention, Idiot old man, are you pretending to be deaf?!

Pyrrha, leave him alone.

Idiot brother. He became more and more mentally retarded after coming to Night City.

Listen up! No open defecation here! Pyrrha turned over and came to the bald man's side.

Oh! What kind of ghostly prosthetic body is that?! It seems to be a very powerful chip! The trembling eyeballs of the bald head aroused Pyrrha's curiosity.

Huh? Mann, who was still paying attention from a distance, suddenly felt something bad.

——

Tommy got into the taxi he had just hailed.

Big man, take it easy! This car is going to flip over! the driver complained about Tommy's weight.

Sorry. Go to the Military Technology Building.

The taxi started and headed for the destination.

The Night City is still colorful at night, with all kinds of exposed girls wandering on the streets, and from time to time, bosozokus roar past.

Boom! Suddenly there was an explosion in the distance.

Explosions are certainly not surprising to the residents of Night City, but this time is a little different.

【Ellie, this is】

[This is the place we just left. 】

[Call: Mann]

【Your side.】

【Come and help! Pyrrha is dead! We encountered a cybermaniac! 】The sound of gunfire and Rebecca's shouts came from Mann's side.

【What? I'll be there soon! 】

Tommy kicked the car door open, jumped out of the car, and ran in the direction he came from.

Thanks to Super Love Yanan-chan and Tallulah qwq for their tips; I didn't think about signing a contract when I started writing, but now I'm at a loss when looking at the short outline, so I slowly updated it and finished the outline first;
