Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 27 Lakeside Town ([-])
Jimmy Kurosaki's Mewtwo Black production site.

"What do you guys want with me? I guess you're not here to kill me." Jimmy showed a mean smile and said to Dolio, who was pointing the gun at his head.

"Whether to kill or not depends on your performance." Dolio said through gritted teeth.

This guy's tone and vulgarity really make you want to beat him up.Dolio's fists were hardened, but she still had to focus on the mission - a dead man could not bring Tanaka to him.

"I will fully cooperate~"

"It's a quick response."

The sound of the rotors echoed in the confined space, and Dorio and Lucy looked up at the source of the sound.

"That voice."

The aircraft emerged from the dark corner and pounced towards the three of them.

"It's a military drone!"

"Correct answer!" Jimmy said proudly.

"Take them off!"

"I can't do it. That's a little toy that I'm proud of. It even has customization functions. I wonder how long your little pistol can last? Come on~" Jimmy's tone did not contain any encouragement.

"Asshole, I'm going to shoot you with one shot!" Dolio really couldn't stand his mean look.

"That's not a smart thing to do. Even so, it won't stop them from beating you to the ground and leaving a river of blood."

"Then I'll use you as a shield!" Dolio picked up Jimmy and stood in front of him.

"Bang bang!" The bullet hit the drone but bounced away. It seemed that hackers could only be used to rescue it.

"There are two of them here." The two drones spread out and aimed at them from different angles.

"hateful!"

"Oops~ It seems you are surrounded. Do you want to surrender?"

"Shut your stinky mouth!" Dolio looked at Lucy, who had hacking abilities, "Lucy!"

"I'm trying!" Lucy's eyes were glowing red and her whole body was hot - the heat generated by a large number of calculations kept her body temperature rising.

Um?Why is the progress suddenly so much faster?

Lucy looked at the soaring progress bar and dazzling calculation programs in front of her in shock. When did her hacking ability become so strong?
"Tommy gave me the AI ​​subroutine, and I'm here to help you too!" David grabbed Lucy's pistol, attracted the attention of the drone, and then started to dodge the drone's shot. bullet.

With the help of the AI ​​subroutine, the two drones quickly short-circuited and stalled.

"How. How is it possible?! How could it be so fast?!" Jimmy was shocked when he saw that the two military drones were scrapped within a few seconds.

"Huh~" Lucy took a long breath. After the intense and large amount of calculations just now, even she would feel very tired.

"You bastard!" Dolio stepped on Jimmy under her feet. The moment the drone flew out, she even thought she was finished.

Waiting for Tanaka to arrive.

"Watch him, don't let him out of sight." Mann said as he left, pointing to Jimmy sitting on the chair.

"Yeah." David nodded.

The door to the room opened and Lucy walked in.

"Hey~ isn't this a genius hacker?" Jimmy still looked like that bitch.

"Lucy?"

"What's that AI subroutine?" Lucy approached David, and the faint scent of cigarette smoke on her body stimulated David's nerves.

"Tommy said he also wanted to help with this operation, so he passed this subroutine to me. He is really kind."

"Are you an idiot?!" Lucy suddenly grabbed David's collar and shouted.

"W-how?"

"What if there is a virus in this subroutine? Wouldn't you be finished?!" Lucy was quite angry. David didn't even know how risky he was.

"How could Tommy do such a thing?" David didn't believe that Tommy, a stable and friendly teammate, would do such a thing.

"In Night City, no one can be trusted!" "That's good~ I agree~"

"Shut up!" Lucy glared at Jimmy.

"Okay~Okay~I'll just shut up~" The expression on Jimmy's face was really annoying.

"Did you hear that clearly?" Lucy turned to ask David.

"But I believe you."

"No, even I can't believe that trusting others in Night City will lead to death!" Lucy actually didn't want to say this.

"."

"What is his purpose?"

"Ok?"

"Did he ask you to help him with anything?"

"He asked me to import the subroutine into it when collecting information on Tanaka and collect information together."

Lucy's hand on David's collar loosened slightly.Why does he want this information too?Is it for that UEG and UNSC?

Lucy thought of Tommy's fantastic words the night they first met. Was he really collecting information in this area?Is he telling the truth?
"Lucy?" David pulled his thoughts back.

"You can help me, but I need to check the program now and send it to me."

David checked the subroutine over to Lucy, and of course it was clean.

"Next time you must not accept other people's procedures hastily, you know?" Lucy let go of David's collar.

"Uh-huh."
-
The hillside next to Lakeside Town.

The "moon" disappeared in the sky, and the black cloth was covered with stars. The breeze blew gently, lifting Rebecca's hair.

"How did this become like this?"

Almost all of Lakeside Town was submerged in water, with only a few tall buildings standing slightly above the water.

"It should be the water from the lake that flooded the town."

"What to do with the ashes? Pour them into the water?" Rebecca raised her little face and looked at Tommy.

The lake is filthy, with electronic waste and rotten fish floating on the surface. Scattering ashes in the "stinky lake" is obviously not an option to respect the deceased.

"No, let's dig a small hole here and bury it." Tommy looked around to see if he had any tools handy to dig a hole.

Waves of pungent odor hit Rebecca's vomiting center. She covered her mouth and nose and said, "That makes sense, just bury it here."

Tommy found a branch, dug a small hole, buried the urn in it, covered the excavated soil, and erected a monument - "Pyrrha's Tomb".
-
In an abandoned building.

"This AI subroutine can't help at all." Qiwei complained in Tanaka's deep diving space, looking at the concrete subroutine without intelligence.

Before David went back, he imported Tommy's AI subroutine, saying it could speed up the invasion, but the result was a drop in the bucket.

"The invasion here is stronger against electricity than I thought." Qiwei continued to invade, but suddenly her vision went dark and she lost consciousness.

Because Mann suddenly lost control and injured Falco and Qiwei, David and Lucy had to come back to complete the commission.

In Tanaka's deep diving space.

"This is it." Lucy broke through ICE's many obstacles and finally found the data she wanted.

So start downloading.Lucy establishes a connection to the database and selects specific data to store on her hard drive.

She looked at the AI ​​subroutine next to her. The subroutine had also searched for the target data and was establishing a connection and downloading it. She was really curious about the content of the data there.

"Huh? This is it?" David's information actually appeared in the data related to the prosthetic King Kong. Lucy searched carefully, but she broke out in a cold sweat.

Arasaka wanted to use David's high compatibility with the prosthetic body to conduct a practical test of the prosthetic King Kong!

Damn it!Tanaka cannot be alive, and the data cannot be taken away!
Lucy glanced at the subroutine next to her. Fortunately, it was not intelligent and would only download specific data.If it is destroyed, it may arouse the suspicion of Tommy AI, so the subroutine must be brought back to Tommy in its entirety.
