Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Ye's Building, 52nd floor.

Shattered glass lay on the floor, mixed with the rain and blood on the floor, and the moonlight made them sparkle. Prado's body was leaning against an iron pillar, his dull eyes looking at the confrontation between Tommy and the giant robot.

Behind the blown-out door are rows of data centers. Each unit of these iron cabinet-like structures is two meters high. The hard drives and other equipment placed inside are connected to data cables and flash with alternating red, yellow and green lights. .

[Tommy, take me to the largest data center, where I detected high-intensity ionizing radiation. 】A blue navigation point pops up on the HUD, pointing to the huge 5-meter-tall black device in the center.

【learn. ] Tommy raised his gun and aimed at the limbs of the Yama robot.

The grenade launcher on its left arm glowed red, and the machine gun on its right arm was about to fire. Then, it was pierced by an armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot and fell to the ground with a splat.

What?! Yama's central processing unit was obviously running out of power, and the 400 mm thick alloy armor was penetrated as easily as paper.

Four bullets from the anti-material sniper rifle were empty. Tommy replaced it with a new magazine, then walked past Yama who was lying on the ground with no limbs, and stopped in front of the largest data center.

[That slot, put me in it. 】

Tommy reached out and pulled out the chip with Ellie on the back of his head, and gently inserted it into the slot.

[Hmm~ There is such a huge amount of data. Behind the blue protective cover above the orange indicator light, the bubble back is inside. 】

Following Ellie's instructions, Tommy saw the blue fusiform crystal inside and reached out to grab it.

Just when the fingers were about to touch it, the thick alloy suddenly popped out to cover it, and then retracted into the machine.

[Don’t destroy it with brute force. I detected that an artificial intelligence electronic memory is connected to it. ] Ellie's voice fluctuated a little, and Tommy didn't quite understand why.

【what should I do? 】

[Follow my instructions step by step, and I will solve that AI problem. 】The killing intent in the voice made the rainwater filled with the smell of blood.

The lights in the data center brightened suddenly, then dimmed quickly.

Why do you think it was placed here? A synthesized electronic sound sounded, but this time Tommy couldn't determine the direction of the sound source.

Why do you think I came in? This time it was Ellie's voice.

Oh, you overestimated your abilities. I have the entire Night City cyber network behind me. What do you think you can do to me? came the sarcastic words.

Really? I'm going to dismember you one coding layer at a time.

Then there was a long silence - although it only lasted for more than ten seconds, Tommy was extremely vigilant at this moment, and everything in the environment was so slow.

The light in the data center began to flash rapidly, and the red, blue and green colors reached an astonishing unity, and then suddenly exploded, with sparks and electric light flying everywhere.

[Ellie, what happened? ] Tommy returned to Yama who was squirming on the ground and asked Ellie.

[.It is a collection of artificial intelligence. Help me kill two signal repeaters, they are on the 43rd floor.] The signal over there is not very good, the voice is intermittent, and there is also huge snow noise. .

[Received, please pay attention to safety. 】The ammunition reloading pump was pulled and made a clicking sound.

Tommy put a shotgun to Yama's head and asked him, Is there anything you want to say?

The world does not belong.

Bang! The scattered projectiles interrupted its words.

I'm tired of hearing this. Tommy put away the shotgun and ran towards the 43rd floor.

——

Ye's Building, 43rd floor.

Riley kicked the door open with a bang, and walked into the room regardless of the gunshots that broke out behind him.

The huge signal repeater has an angular shell, and the high temperature caused by data calculation makes the room as hot as a furnace.

Captain, in order to block those blue-eyed guys, I left them outside. Matt followed into the room and nodded towards the signal repeater, How to deal with this big baby? Gunfire continued outside the room.

Riley took out a pack of C4 explosives and said, Blow it up. Another team is rushing to the roof. We are preparing for their final mission.

Matt opened his mouth to speak, but found that the gunshots outside suddenly stopped.

No. 5, what's going on? Matt leaned out from the door and asked, and then he was stunned.

Tommy, wearing an angular Thor's Hammer armor, walked out of the shadows. The shotgun in his hand was still smoking slightly. A large number of blue-eyed soldiers lay on the ground.

Cyber ​​Demon? Why is he here? Matt murmured in confusion.

Don't you understand? He is the intruder. My communication equipment cannot be connected. Contact the headquarters immediately! Riley turned around with a solemn expression, threw the C4 explosive aside, and picked up the automatic rifle in his hand.

We can't do it, captain! The electromagnetic pulse that just came from the roof burned all our communication equipment! the technician in the team shouted.

Then kill him first. I've wanted to try his skills for a long time. Riley turned on the safety on the gun and put his finger on the trigger. No. 4, burn its system!

Team 4's optical implant changed from green to red, and then back to green again. He was startled, turned to Riley and shouted: Captain! I can't identify his nervous system model, maybe because his invasion resistance level is too high!

What nonsense are you talking about?! Our prosthetics are all military grade! Riley gestured to the team members, and the five spread out, surrounding Tommy.

No. 4 tried again, then shook his head and said he couldn't do it.

Riley gritted his teeth. It didn't matter if the system couldn't be burned. The five of us had surrounded him. Even the cyber madman who came out of the army a few months ago was killed by them.

Everyone use Si'an Westan and fire freely! As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of the five people became blurred, and bullets hit Tommy's energy shield like a tide.

It seems that this team of violent terrorist mobile team members are not going to talk properly.

In Tommy's eyes, the speed of these people was like changing from a baby's crawling to a teenager's jogging, and he happened to be good at shooting moving targets. Even among the Spartans, his marksmanship was among the best.

The shotgun ignored the locked member's mouth that opened in fear, roared loudly, and the powerful kinetic energy beat him into a puddle of rotten flesh, flying backwards and smashing against the wall.

Matt!! Riley yelled angrily. This smart and brave young man stayed under his command for a long time. He originally thought that he would promote him to captain after he was promoted, but he died in this mission.

Fuck you! The captain of the violent terrorist mobile team rushed towards Tommy, his finger pulled the trigger and kept firing until there was a click - the magazine was empty. He threw the gun to the ground, and in his rage, he didn't even take a melee weapon and charged at Tommy with his bare hands.

At this time, the Spartan had just emptyed his shotgun. He raised the butt of the gun and hit Riley with a heavy hammer, knocking Riley to the ground. Then he rolled to the side, hid behind the marble information desk, took out three No. 8 lead-gauge Magnum bullets from his tactical belt bag, pressed them into the shotgun's magazine, then pulled the ammunition pump hard and fired. Crack sound.

Of the three remaining members of the mobile team, two approached the information desk where Tommy was hiding, and one squatted next to Riley to check his vital signs.

At any time, the sound of the energy shield filling up gave Tommy a rush of pleasure. He dodged out of cover so fast that even the Krenzikov implants of two team members failed to react.

The M45 shotgun roared twice in succession, and the two team members fell to the ground, their internal organs mangled.

Tommy stepped over the two corpses with one arrow, opened fire and smashed the head of the crouching mobile team member, then shook the unconscious Riley, and asked him: Why did the violent terrorist mobile team come here? Are you not responsible for this? Are you hunting cyberpsychotic patients?

Riley gave a mocking smile, and then spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, but it was blocked by Tommy's energy shield.

Forget it, please excuse Ellie. The muzzle of the shotgun was pressed against his head, and a loud bang announced that the violent terrorist mobile team was dismissed.

Tommy walked into the room, looked at the tall machine, pressed the orange switch of the plasma grenade, threw it to the machine and stuck it, and then left the room.

Dazzling blue light shines from inside the door, and the alloy wall instantly becomes hot and red, and then melts into a blazing white metal molten stream flowing on the floor. A heat wave hit us, igniting all objects with low ignition points.

The signal repeater at the center of the plasma explosion was cracked by high temperature into dark red high-temperature gas molecules floating in the air, like scarlet clouds floating from hell.

[Ellie, both signal repeaters have been destroyed. 】 Tommy sucked the shotgun back on his back and rushed to the top floor.
