Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

The rain washed away the armor on his body, and the water dropped from the helmet all the way down, flowing through the dents melted by the plasma and countless battle damage, and finally dripped on the ground.

Tommy took off his helmet and sat slumped on the ground, staring at the green separation chip.

He would feel sad every time a comrade died, but this time was different. It was the pain of having his bones knocked out and his marrow sucked out, like plasma slowly approaching the heart, killing the heart muscle cells inside bit by bit.

[Tommy, come to your senses, I detected signs of life in her. ] Ellie's voice was like thunder.

【What? ] Tommy looked up, and the neon lights in the distance were still so dazzling.

[I walked around inside her implant. There is a fuel cell behind her head that maintains the activity of her brain tissue. ] She said quickly, for fear of wasting any minute.

【what should I do? ] Tommy cheered up, picked up the helmet and put it on his head, then stood up with Nana Kamano in his arms.

[Take her to the doctor immediately! 】

The helicopter left by the middle-aged man came in handy, and he ran towards it.

——

It's night, Dr. Mary's clinic.

Tommy paced back and forth in the doorway of the operating room.

The door of the operating room slid open, and Mary walked out rubbing her sore hands - the prosthetic modification on her body was very small, and the auxiliary work was usually completed by robots.

Doctor May, how is she? Tommy stopped and asked her.

Not very good, I can only maintain the vitality of her brain cells. She looked at Tommy, You know what? She is simply a monster, with prosthetics from the neck down. Where did you get her from?

The progress of these two people stopped at kissing, and he didn't know what was special about Kamano Nana.

There was a big explosion in the Kamano Company building this evening. She couldn't have come from there. Mary stared at him with a critical eye, Tsk tsk, Kamano Company. She reminded me of an incident ten years ago.

Mary came to her workbench, turned on her computer, and pulled up an old piece of news.

That year, Kamano Company recruited dozens of Night City residents who were living at the bottom, claiming that they needed them to test some new technology. In the end, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they did not exist at all. In this world.”

Tommy stared at the screen, which showed Saku Kamano standing on the podium at the press conference and speaking impassionedly.

This guy's daughter once suffered a tragic car accident. Mary pointed to Kamano Shuo in the picture. There were many witnesses on the street at that time, but they were suppressed by the company. It is said that her torso was hit by the big truck. It was crushed to pieces.

How did you know? Tommy looked at her operating room. It was terrifyingly neat and tidy, not like a street prosthetic doctor at all.

Oh, I spent some time in Arasaka before. Mary said with a sarcastic smile, The headquarters was very interested in this technology, but gave up because of the high cost, leaving Kamano Saku to do it. Dozens of poor guys screwed around, but he paid a pretty heavy price.

Maybe that's why those blue-eyed guys came to Kamano Nana.

Thanks, Dr. May. Tommy thanked him sincerely.

Don't thank me in a hurry. This is all I can do. If I want her to fully recover, I need to find a doctor who is much better than me. He must have a deep understanding of this technology. Okay. Mary patted Tommy's breastplate, If you ask me, people who meet these conditions are already extinct, and she may have to stay like this forever.

The feeling of returning to the UNSC became more urgent. Tommy couldn't help but rub the chip on his hand.

I'll check again to see if there's anything missing. Just sit outside and wait for a while. Of course, you can sit there for as long as you want. Mary walked towards the operating room.

That's right. She suddenly turned around, Rebecca must come first. If you neglect little Rebecca because of this woman. She waved the surgical retractor in her hand, I will never forgive you lightly. you.

The door of the operating room closed, leaving Tommy sitting alone outside. The rain was still pouring outside the clinic.

[Caller: Rebecca]

【Yo! Stupid uncle! No need to wait for me tonight, I'll be back later! 】Rebecca's energetic voice came from the other side of the phone, and the heavy metal rock music was deafening.

【Um. ] He just responded lightly, not wanting to tell her about it for the time being.

【.Did something happen? ] Rebecca noticed something and asked him with a concerned tone.

[Nothing. How about today’s commission? 】

[Ah~ It went pretty well, but the newcomer died, rushing forward like an idiot, and his death was meaningless. 】

【Is it. 】

[Really?, something really doesn't sound right to you. Do you want me to come back first? 】

[No, I just ate something bad. You had fun outside. 】

[Okay, if you have anything to do, go and see the old lady Mary. 】

[Well, Rebecca, I'll be there. 】

[You must go, I’ll hang up. 】

Withdrawing his attention from the communication, he wanted to go back now.

——

NCPD building, violent terrorist mobile unit branch.

The black walls glowed coldly under the dim light, and the burning cigarette butts illuminated the swirling smoke.

Riley sat on a chair in the lounge, smoking a cigarette.

The pressure door slid open and a man in a Mobile Corps uniform walked in and sat down next to him.

Captain, we're leaving in ten minutes. Why don't you make some preparations? the man asked Riley.

Preparation Riley was a little nostalgic for the past days. In the past, he never made preparations. His tyrannical strength allowed him to walk sideways on the streets of Night City until that day when his cyberpsychosis broke out.

Wait a minute, Matt, that thing will be done in three minutes. He twisted his neck, feeling uncomfortable with the Sian Westan he had just installed.

This is a novel gadget that is still in the experimental stage. The boss said that all members of the mobile team will be equipped with it in the future. Their team is the luckiest group - all 5 members of their team were equipped with it last week.

There was silence, and Matt rubbed his hands nervously.

Captain, have you heard? Matt casually picked a topic to talk about. This evening, the Kamano company building was attacked by those guys. All the company's top executives were killed, including the chairman's daughter. It's a pity that Beautiful voice actress.

Riley threw the dying cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it with his foot, and said, Do you have any news from the Intelligence Department? Who killed those soldiers like chickens?

No, the Intelligence Division found nothing. The company's files and all cameras and records were destroyed. They concluded that it was not a human effort.

In Night City, it's not human work, that's.

What's beyond the black wall?

They're not sure, but I guess it is.

Riley stood up to pack his equipment and said calmly: We are going to deal with an entire company tonight, don't die.

——

Tommy and Rebecca's residence.

The slowing rain tends to get heavier again, hitting the floor-to-ceiling windows with a crackling sound.

Tommy checked his equipment: M45 tactical shotgun, SRS99 anti-materiel sniper rifle, Type 1 energy sword, several M9 fragmentation grenades and the last plasma grenade.

He wants to challenge the entire Ye family building tonight - this is both for Nana Kamano and for Bullback.

[Call: Prado]

Looking back with his amazing memory, he remembered the blond young man who wanted to duel with him out of unwillingness at the Ember Restaurant.

【I want to see you, now, right away! 】The voice of suppressed anger and sadness came.
