Cyberpunk: 2075

"T-BUG, I need backup."

"Didn't you go on a date with that military technology woman today? Why did you suddenly send an emergency message?"

"As I told you about those pilots, they came to their senses after two people died this time.

I don't know what means they used to hide it from Blanca, who should be their direct superior, and sneaked into Night City to launch an attack on us. "

"Oh, then I understand what you want me to do.'

T-BUG's voice was light and airy, without any worry at all: "I already know where you are, and I'm temporarily checking the surrounding situation. Do you have an accurate location?"

"Can you see me?"

"I can see you hiding behind a flower bed, right?"

"Four, two hundred, three floors."

"learn."

Four o'clock, two hundred meters, three floors up.

T-BUG quickly connected to nearby cameras and found the relevant personnel.

"I found it. There is a man wearing an exoskeleton on the first floor of that house, holding an Ajax rifle. There is a man hiding at the corner of the stairs on the second floor. He is not wearing an exoskeleton and only holds a melee weapon. Let me take a look. ..::”

T-BUG's voice sounded again the next second:

"He was holding two axes. The handles of the axes have openings. They should be modified firearms melee axes.

You can shoot things from that place... Be careful, I have seen this model. It is a military technology product. It can fire micro-electromagnetic pulse bombs. It is specially used to destroy human prosthetics. Don't let it interfere with you then. , probably because as soon as someone goes upstairs, he will launch an electromagnetic pulse bomb, destroy the human prosthetic body, and then use an ax to kill the opponent. "

"Just three people?"

"I only saw three of them. None of them thought about blocking the hidden cameras in the building. They don't seem to have any experience in fighting in the city. Are they raised too well?"

"I don't know, but if there are at least three of them, it won't be a problem. Can T-BUG be invaded through hidden cameras?"

"They are inexperienced, but their equipment is good. Both exoskeletons are military-grade ICE (anti-intrusion program). It will take me a certain amount of time to crack them. The one with the ax doesn't have any prosthetic body, so it's difficult for me to hack into them. "

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"For military grade, two minutes."

"Then I'd better do it directly.'

It takes two minutes to crack the military-grade ICE that comes with the exoskeleton. A hacker who can do this is considered T-BUG among the entire Night City mercenaries. However, for Karl, two minutes is still too slow.

"Carl, you're locked in."

"I know."

When the sound fell, bullets struck again.

Having to endure the nerve pain again, Carl once again moved forward quickly in slow time.

Not far away.

Without Oliver around, it would still be a bit difficult to deal with the snipers with exoskeletons from a few hundred meters away all night long.

Fortunately, I will go to Arasaka Tower the day after tomorrow. According to the support agreement like Morgan Black Hand, I will have to take some Arasaka weapons with me no matter what.

Karl was already close to fifty meters. This distance was also the killing range of pistols in the past. The night-time killing range in Karl's hand was naturally more than that, but at this distance, Karl could be more accurate.

According to reports from the FBI in the past era, 90% of pistol engagements have an effective hit range of 15 meters. However, in 2075 now, with the modified kinetic energy weapon in Carl's hands, it is still easy to achieve an accuracy of 50 meters. Loose.

That is to say, hit wherever you point.

Bullets came out of the chamber, two rounds.

What Karl was aiming at was the muzzle of Ajax that just poked out of the window on the first floor.

The person on the first floor suddenly stretched out his gun when Carl was fifty meters away, and tried to attack Carl as a surprise attack.

And Karl, who was well prepared, would naturally reward him with two bullets in a friendly manner.

Before he started roaring, Ajax was hit by the bullets all night long. Just like in the past, after one shot penetrated the entire barrel of the gun and caused the gun body to explode, the second shot followed.

"pong

Amidst the sound of hitting metal that didn't spread far, the person reacted quickly and disappeared out of the window.

‘It’s so hard. ’

As in the past, bullets cannot kill the guy wearing an exoskeleton, and the weapons and equipment produced by military technology are still of excellent quality.

Karl was not surprised. If the exoskeleton could be destroyed with just a few shots, it would not be a rare thing in Night City. Every company would tacitly agree to replace the equipment allowed by the ACPA.

You have to keep some equipment to suppress the 'thugs' on the street, right?

While dealing with the attack on the first floor, Carl noticed that the sniper on the third floor disappeared.

Obviously, the opponent has given up the plan to deal with him remotely. At such a distance, it is time to use other weapons.

It seems that I have attracted enough attention.

Ignoring the message from Blanca, she had moved to a safe place now. In Karl's ears, T-BUG's voice sounded: "Do you want me to inform Jack and the others?"

"Forget it, everything will be settled when they come over."

"What about NCPD?"

"Already called. As for the exoskeleton and the company's affairs, it's not easy for Mr. Johnson and the others to handle it. Please inform Rogge for me."

"How to say?"

"Prepare the money. There may be two damaged exoskeletons. We are willing to take less."

"We? I didn't do anything. I just helped you check everyone. Do you want to share the money?"

"Enough. Without you, I might be tricked by the people on the second and first floors. Our team is about who works harder gets more money. I still understand this rule. Don't worry, I will take more. Then T-BUG, you should also take more. As for Jack and others who didn't participate in this matter, let them take some money for drinks because they worked hard to modify the car in the Badlands and let me relax. After all, we have to book Mrs. Wells's Wild Wolf Bar tomorrow. We can't have no drinks."

"I didn't do any work anyway, so I don't mind."

T-BUG's tone was full of smiles: "But according to their alcohol tolerance, hehe."

"If they hear you say this, they will probably be anxious."

Carl has arrived at the building.

"I'm done communicating, T-BUG. I'll rely on you to remind me."

"Don't worry."

After receiving a reply from his companion, Carl took off the grenade from his waist and threw it through the window where Ajax had just been leaning out.

At the same time as the noise came from inside the house, Carl had already walked in.

In front of him was the attacker who made an evasive move in the face of the rolling grenade.

The grenade did not explode.

Because it would not explode in the first place.

"It's exactly the same training."

Carl took the opportunity to approach the attacker, waving the single molecule line in his hand.
