Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 45 Living Preaching ([-])

Inside the central floating platform.

The bodyguards with missing arms and legs were lying on the ground in a mess. The rusty smell of oxidized blood filled the air, and the bright red walls looked like a bloody mouth about to bite people.

Yamaguchi Yuto watched Tommy reveal his energy sword and smiled mockingly.This man was so stupid that he actually gave up his advantage in firearms to compete with him in swordsmanship. He wanted this guy who overestimated his abilities to know what regret was.

"After all, the sword is a foreign object, and the core of the sword is the foundation." Yuto Yamaguchi glanced at the energy sword that was making a buzzing sound. "Fancy rags will only hinder the progress of swordsmanship, so let me teach you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yamaguchi bent down, stomped on the ground and rushed towards Tommy, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"The only martial arts in the world that can't be broken is fast!" Yamaguchi Yuto's afterimage flickered around Tommy, and the voice came from all directions.

Tommy's left arm was slightly bent at the elbow, his muscles ready to go.

"Have you seen my speed, you?!" Before the old man could finish his words, Tommy moved forward like lightning, grabbed the throat of Yuito Yamaguchi who was speaking, and lifted him up.

"Ugh!!!" Yamaguchi Yuito's face turned purple from holding back, his legs couldn't help swinging, and he swung his samurai sword to chop Tommy's helmet repeatedly, but it only caused ripples.

Tommy targeted the non-lethal part of his abdomen, stretched out his right arm, and thrust the energy sword into Yuto Yamaguchi's abdomen.

The old man's whole body hardened, then softened again, and the katana in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Tommy lowered his grip and said, "Who sent you here?"

"Hehehe, the world does not belong to humans!" Yamaguchi Yuto's eyes widened, and then fireworks and lightning burst out from the back of his head. Finally, he tilted his head and died.

[Ellie, you did this? ] Tommy flicked his hand and threw the old man to the ground.

[I’m not an idiot, how could I do such a thing.Someone has planted self-destruct hardware in their brains that will be activated if things go wrong. ] Ellie explained.

[It’s really tricky. 】

Behind Tommy, Jefferson breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the crisis was over, and then said, "Uh, cyber demon? Or Mr. Price?"

Tommy put away the energy sword, turned around and said, "Hello, Mr. Peralez, first time meeting you."

"I would like to ask, is Arasaka Company sending you to protect me?" Jefferson took out a pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket, pulled out one, and Elizabeth lit it for him.

"No, I have something to do with you."

"Let's sit and talk." Jefferson put Bruce's head on the sofa on the ground and sat down.

The loyal old man died without any chance of fighting back today. He felt sad and angry at the same time.

Watching Tommy pull up a chair aside and sit down, Jefferson asked: "What is worthy of you breaking through the defenses of these blue-eyed guys and coming to me? I will try my best to help you."

Qualified politicians understand the principle of exchange of interests, and fighting alone will never succeed.

"I don't want Arasaka to know the rest of the conversation." Tommy paused and looked directly into Jefferson's brown eyes through the helmet, "You have seen my skills just now."

Jefferson was silent for a moment, and then said: "I understand, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't appreciate praise." Then he took a puff of cigarette and exhaled the smoke, "But you have to hurry up, the Arasaka Task Force is coming soon. , I can’t ensure that there are no eavesdropping devices in this lounge, they don’t trust me.”

[All eavesdropping devices are temporarily disabled. ] Ellie reacted quickly.

"I can make sure no one is eavesdropping." Tommy tapped his fingers on the low table. "So, 'bubbleback'... you know?"

"Ahem." Jefferson suddenly choked on the smoke.

Elizabeth, who was sitting aside, gently stroked his back and said, "Jefferson, stop smoking. If something goes wrong, you'll have to find a prosthetic doctor to replace your lungs."

"No, that's not the reason, Elizabeth." Jefferson breathed a sigh of relief, "Besides, don't you also smoke? How can you accuse me?"

Then Jefferson looked up at Tommy and said, "How do you know about this thing? It's a secret, and part of the reason why they chose me to represent them was for this thing, even though I'm not the obedient puppet they thought they were."

"You don't need to know that my patience is limited."

"Okay, I don't know much about this thing. Take it and I'll send you everything I know." Jefferson's eyes began to flash blue.

[Received, decrypting. Completed. 】Relevant information was projected onto Tommy's retina, the most conspicuous being the heads of several Arasaka hackers.

"I overheard them talking about this thing before entering the conference room last time. There are two of them. Arasaka has already grasped their clues. The additional task of these hackers is to investigate this matter, but I don't know What is their main mission?" Jefferson said, shaking his head.

"Is there more?" Tommy asked, and these clues suddenly opened his mind.

"I will help you keep an eye on it in the future, but it won't be long. I plan to leave Arasaka and do it myself." [Information shows that Jefferson is connected to an underground worker organization. 】One of the main responsibilities of artificial intelligence is to provide intelligence to Spartan warriors in unfamiliar environments.

"Okay, thanks." Tommy stood up and prepared to leave.

There were constant gunshots and explosions in the rain outside, and Tommy was a little worried about Rebecca and Kamano Nana.

[Caller: Rebecca]

[Uncle, where are you? !If we don't come here, we'll be doomed! 】The roar of the MA37 rifle and the curse of a man came from the other side of the communication.

【Where are you? 】

[We are trapped in place and unable to move!Those bitches are coming towards this busty woman! 】Rebecca yelled.

[What a big-breasted woman, you can’t say something nice.] Kamano Nana’s voice came.

[I'm very close to you, come here now. 】

The rain gradually subsided, and the floating platform and surrounding buildings were pockmarked by grenades and artillery shells.The battlefield was divided into several small pieces, and the Arasaka Task Force and the Blue-Eyed Soldiers were fighting fiercely.

Three blue-eyed soldiers in black avoided the task force and walked towards the stairs leading to the inside of the floating platform.

"The target person is inside. We will shoot and kill him as soon as we enter. No one will be left alive. Do you understand?" the captain who was walking at the front said to the other two team members.

"clear."

They came to the stairs. The pressure door here showed signs of being forcibly opened. They didn't know which monster did it. The captain couldn't help but be more vigilant.

Suddenly an armored head poked out from the corner of the stairs, and the captain opened fire first with a submachine gun.

The speed of the visitor was very fast, and he was in front of him in an instant. The bullets fired before hit him and were all bounced away by the energy shield that emerged.

Tommy grabbed the gun in his hand and yanked hard. The captain's shoulder joint was instantly dislocated, making a violent breaking sound.Then he flew up and kicked the captain in the chest. The blue-eyed soldier flew backwards, his chest was sunken, and he fell to the ground without moving.

Immediately after, Tommy drew his gun and turned to face the soldier on the left. He fired with his right hand and knocked out the brains of an enemy. He raised his left arm and struck an elbow.

The blue-eyed soldier's head was hit by a sudden heavy blow, and he flipped sideways, then fell to the floor. One cheek was shattered and sunken, and his neck was twisted at a weird angle - his spine was fractured.

After dealing with the three of them neatly, Tommy quickly ran to the commanding heights of the platform where Nana Kamano was.

I saw Kamano Nana and Rebecca lying down behind a makeshift metal bunker. There were many dead bodyguards lying around, and only a few of them were still squatting and fighting.

The situation of the two of them was not optimistic: Rebecca's blue prosthetic left arm was broken, and the black metal interface with electric light was exposed; Nana Kamano's delicate little face was cut open by a stray bullet, and blood mixed with rain dripped down.At this time, they were holding MA37 rifles and pink pistols and firing at the soldiers who were attacking them.

[Call: Kamano Nana, Rebecca]

Tommy withdrew his pistol and took off the behemoth SRS99 sniper rifle hanging on the magnetic weapon rack behind his back.

[Why didn’t you call me earlier? ] There was suppressed anger in his voice at this time.

The crosshair on the helmet's HUD, which was connected to the optical sighting system of the sniper rifle, was aimed at a blue-eyed soldier. The large-caliber anti-equipment bullet shot the soldier into pieces.

The two people who were shooting were stunned and hid behind the bunker.

[It’s this stupid woman who says not to disturb you and stops me from calling you. ] Rebecca gasped.

Tommy quickly turned the muzzle of his gun and fired three more shots in a split second. There were several body parts on the ground of the floating platform.

[Hey~ You obviously agreed.Don't be angry~Brother~] The delicate voice came, making people wonder if this was a battlefield.

Tommy took out a magazine from his tactical pocket and put it on his sniper rifle. Through the thermal imaging system of his helmet, he could see a sniper on the roof of the building next to him with his gun raised.

[Becca, Nana, please call me in time next time, do you understand? ] Tommy's tone softened slightly.

The Spartan nimbly dodged to the side to avoid the sniper's continuous fire, and then shot him with a backhand shot, along with the steel edge of the roof, beating him into pieces of broken flesh.

【I got it.】

【Received~Brother~】
