Chapter 65 Rapid pursuit
A peaceful morning for the Martinez family.
As a family on a tight budget, they drive the Galina G240, the most common model in Santo Domingo - a car with extremely poor performance.
It can shake for three seconds when walking on an elevated road, and it has no interior at all. The only advantage is that it is cheap.
In Night City, you can't live without a car. Without a car, you can't go to work, you can't send your children to kindergarten, and you can't escape when gangs fight.
David, the co-pilot, shook his legs: "Mom, do you still have money at home to upgrade the genuine system? Why not use the pirated software the doctor gave you?"
"no!"
Mom Gloria flatly refused.
As someone who works in a gray job, she knows the secrets of pirated software——
Provide you with software with the same effect as the genuine version at a low price? Are those hackers doing charity?
Of course not, you might have been targeted at some point.
"But...don't you have no money?" David looked out the window boredly, still reviewing the exciting Black Mewtwo he watched last night in his mind.
"That's because the wages haven't been paid yet! Of course there won't be a lot of idle money at home - and don't shake your legs anymore!"
When David heard this, he stopped shaking his legs and let out a long sigh.
He's not old, and his tone is not small - those who didn't know better thought he was fifty, a middle-aged man who couldn't pay the mortgage and was unemployed.
"Actually, I've been thinking recently that I can take a break from school and look for a job or something."
"what are you saying!?"
"Mom, you also know that it is difficult for us to afford the system upgrade alone, and I am quite out of place in school. Mom, you don't know anything about it, right?
As long as you are poor, you will not be taken seriously. No matter how hard I study, I will never become like them.
I don't want to be like them either. "
Speaking of which, David's mind was filled with the three people he saw that day -
Street chases, bullets and bullets - if you were there, it would probably be much more exciting than those kiddie Mewtwos he saw.
Freedom to roam the streets seemed more suitable for a poor man like him.
There was silence in the car for a few seconds.
".Then, why am I working so hard?"
Gloria's voice changed slightly, and David glanced over boredly.
"I worked so hard just to please you. But now what do you think I have been doing during this time?"
".mom?"
David saw tears welling up in his mother's eyes.
"You are so smart and talented, that's why I work so hard to make money and train you.
What should I do if you don’t want to study anymore? "
Gloria suppressed her emotions and tears fell from her eyes.
David is not a fool. He doesn't know what his mother does, but he can hear her grievances.
Not just grievances, but also expectations, expectations that weighed him down.
Although he didn't know what his mother expected, he wanted to respond to it.
"I shouldn't have said that." David looked ahead. There were ordinary cars like them, gathering into traffic.
He just didn't know how to respond to that expectation - to read?
Maybe mom is just dreaming.
"I'm sorry, don't cry."
"I know what they did to you." Gloria wiped her tears, "Because I have experienced the same thing, so we have to prove it to them!
I want you to become an elite and climb to the top of Arasaka Tower!
I know you have such talent, you can definitely do it! "
Speaking of her son, Gloria's eyes seemed to light up.
It was just this kind of light that made David feel a little ashamed of himself.
“That’s easy to say”
Halfway through David's words, he suddenly noticed a car in front of him - no, there was a group of cars going the wrong way!
A shirtless man stood on the car, looking into the distance as if he were standing on a chariot--
Then, he raised his left hand that transformed into a cannon--
boom!
The huge explosion overturned the car in front of Gloria. The car spun like a top and knocked over several cars!
One of the cars was even completely blown away by the explosion, and the whole car stood up and was smashed in this direction!
"Mom! Turn quickly, turn quickly—Mom!"
The next second, bullets from the heavy machine gun formed a line and cut the car into pieces, and half of the debris hit the Martinez family's car hard.
The world was spinning instantly!
——
In the car, Lille was monitoring the road network data while connecting to the disposable ICE terminal provided to him by Kangtao.
This thing looks like a black box, which is perfect for holding in your arms - but it will be scrapped soon, and Lear doesn't dare to pick it up.
The neural link is directly connected to the ICE interface, and Lear is going to do a bypass intrusion - this is his first attempt to crack military-grade ICE, and he is cracking it head-on.
"I started hacking into his system, and the enemy footage was passed to you."
The road network equipment captured James' path very early, and this guy didn't hide at all.
At this moment, his previously beaten chest had been repaired, and it looked like it had been replaced with more powerful skin armor.
The way he looked, it was as if what he was surrounded by were not the broken cars of the Six Street Gang, but tanks of military technology.
V spat: "Damn, what does that idiot think he is? Looking down on us?"
Leal shouted: "Jack, get ready to volley!"
At this time, V and Jack were both on the bed of the pickup truck. Jack was holding the Defender machine gun and aiming forward, waiting attentively for the place to come into firefighting distance!
boom!
But what greeted them was a car that was completely blown over. The whole car stood up and came towards them!
"Fire! Grass!"
Jack roared and pulled the trigger!
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
The huge recoil of the MK31 acts on Jack, and every bullet fired feels like someone is hitting him!
The MK31 is actually not meant to be held at all. Military technology designed this machine gun to be mounted on armored vehicles and turrets - but there are always tough men with a lot of prosthetics who can use this thing!
Like Jack!
The bullet was almost smaller than the cannonball, and it easily broke the overturned car in half, then smashed it towards both sides!
Mackinac accelerated suddenly and passed the G240 in front of him that couldn't find its direction——
"Prepare for an encounter!"
The two teams were tit for tat, but the momentum of the Six Street Gang weakened first——
They were just here to guide James, but they didn't know that the other side would send so many murderous people to intercept him!
The Valentino Gang's car seemed not to be afraid of the still chaotic traffic, using the modified bumper as a collision angle. Not only did it intercept the Sixth Street Gang's car, it even chased them and started a fight!
Jack turned the gun directly and shot the car at James' feet on the spot!
boom!
As expected, James disappeared on the roof of the car in an instant, and then stepped on the roofs of those cars in the chaotic traffic like a flash!
A few unlucky ones were crushed to pieces by the deformed car roof!
Jack's deadly firepower suppressed James, forcing him to keep changing directions!
V aimed fiercely at the moving target, muttering something--
"Jump-like dancing?"
Klenchikov can only be activated when danger is already very close, but Chite's Sianwistan is activated early.
Although the effectiveness of Qiandi's Si'an Westan is far inferior to what James is using now, the reaction distance left for V this time is far greater than before!
As the distance got closer, perhaps Klenchikov had a connection with Qiandi's Sianwistan, and the deceleration time began to slowly climb from 20% all the way--
V started to see the guy clearly and pulled the trigger.
Electromagnetic energy begins to accumulate.
She gradually saw the guy's route clearly, and then his movements--
boom!
The bullet came out of the barrel, forming a clearly visible miniature sonic boom cloud in front of V!
"Hit - grass, missed!"
Nekomata's bullets are extremely fast - Sianwistan can make people move faster, so fast that it gives the illusion that time is slowing down.
But it doesn’t mean that the human body can break the speed of sound!
Nekomata's discharge speed exceeds 1500m/s!
boom--
V's foot took a step back and landed heavily on the car.
James was shot in the air, and the bullet struck his left chest at an angle, leaving a huge dent there.
It's a pity that the bullet didn't hit the target - it was just a scratch, and the guy's chest armor was shattered. If it had hit the target, the battle would be over.
James fell to the ground, but he didn't rest for long - he was already very close to the three people's car!
James accelerated his steps and jumped directly into the chaotic traffic.
The convoy completely ignored the overturned car and went on a rampage, providing even more cover for James!
Nekomata's bullets penetrated one car after another as easily as through butter, passing through those cars and interfering with James' movements!
"Damn--he's coming over here, Jack!"
As soon as V finished speaking, James jumped out of the traffic, the mantis knife dazzling in the sun!
But this time, V responded much more calmly!
earn--
Four mantis knives connected in the air, and V used the same method to jam James' knife again!
James didn't think there was any problem - V did the same thing last time. Although V had an extra pair of mantis knives, he had three.
However, this time, Jack is no longer Jack who can only use a small pistol!
boom!
Jack's left hand pinched James' knee tightly, and the mantis knife was pinned down and couldn't come out!
The huge force pressed the monster's iron knees to crackle, and it almost began to deform--
And Jack still has one hand, and what he holds in that hand is Sadara!
"The one I treated you to wasn't the full meal last time. Try this!"
boom!
Only after shooting did Jack feel lucky to have someone in the team who understood technology.
The recoil of Sadara's fire made his arm hurt, and he almost lost his grip.
If you switch to a human arm - it's a good habit to hold the weapon tightly, but the reward will be broken bones at least.
The bullets from the two barrels of the modified Sadara exploded at the same time, directly smashing the left side of James' abdomen, revealing the dense prosthetic body inside.
But this guy's armor is really awesome, and it didn't even penetrate completely.
After this shot, V and Jack couldn't hold James down anymore--
He pressed the front of the car hard as if nothing happened, and then the force jumped away - but his speed was obviously much slower.
The response method he chose was the easiest to predict. In the sky, he was only affected by gravity.
A series of bullets were suddenly fired from the car, accurately hitting James' movement trajectory in the air, and the bullets were all fired.
Finally, he triggered a small EMP explosion when he landed -
James paused, and Mackinac suddenly jumped up!
boom!
Archido shouted and turned the steering wheel: "Holy crap, it's a flat tire!"
Mackinac, who had a flat tire, drifted on the road and stopped right in front of James.
Lille clung to the armrest and almost didn't get thrown out.
Immediately afterwards, Lille's ICE server exploded - during the confrontation.
There was also a problem with James' spinal prosthesis.
Without the normal functioning of the spine, it was difficult to provide normal functions. James' tall and straight body finally bent down and could no longer support his weight.
He stood there blankly.
[First time breaking through military-grade ICE, technology points +500]
[Has mastered practical technology: network hacking technology (proficient)]
[You now have the ability to try to crack military-grade ICE and develop more lethal fast cracking golems]
[Technology Points +500]
[Current science and technology points: 1800]
Lille took a long breath: "ICE has broken through, and I disabled his spinal prosthesis.
Get him - be careful, he can still move, just not as flexible. "
boom.
Jack and V jumped out of the car, swinging their weapons and walked up to James.
V said: "It's over - are you coming or am I coming?"
Jack loaded Sadara's bullets: "I'll do it, he still owes me an arm."
James suddenly moved, took out the authentic gun behind him and started shooting--
It's a pity that V, he can't hit it, and Jack, he can't penetrate it.
This is the embarrassing thing about ordinary rifles - ordinary people do avoid them, but to people with this level of transformation, they are nothing.
The approaching Sadara began to charge up again--
boom!
Sadara's huge sound echoed through the highway, and the projectile passed through James' body, leaving a dark and deep ablation mark on the ground.
Valentino, the Sixth Street Gang, and the office workers who were pushed to the side by the car accident were all stunned - but the feelings were completely different.
The fighting may have lasted only a few minutes, but in those minutes the roads were littered with bullet holes, dead people, burning cars and debris.
But is the battle over?
"Hey, we have to change cars." Lille also got out of the car.
"Achido, take this monster's body back."
"Okay boss, what about you?"
Lear pointed at Jack in the center of the battlefield——
He held Sadara in one hand and MK31 in the other:
"Start the car, step on the accelerator, and follow the boys - Valentino, cargo! (Note 1)"
