Cyberpunk: 2075

"Have you determined the identity of the other party? What did the intelligence department say? Can't they see it with a satellite?"

Meredith called her subordinates in the Night City Military Technology Headquarters. Just now, she asked her subordinates to submit an application to the intelligence department to use satellites to view the enemy, but until now, the relevant images have not been transmitted.

"No, Director, the intelligence department is still reviewing it!"

"Still reviewing, I'm almost dead, those bastards!"

Meredith cursed, and it was really clear in her heart that it was definitely the intelligence department that was deliberately delaying.

A task to solve Arasaka freight, did Arasaka's personnel solve it?

Solved.

Then you were attacked by an unknown object, and you still want support and help?

Sorry, there is no such saying in the military technology company.

This is no longer within the scope of assistance against Arasaka.

In her heart, she kept greeting the family of the intelligence department's bastards, but she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Carl, who was behind another truck, wearing a helmet and couldn't see his specific expression.

The enemy was coming aggressively, and it was obvious that they were not easy to deal with. Although she didn't know why they had troubled her, the enemy's combat power was obviously much higher than hers. In this case, she could only count on Carl, a mercenary with a resounding reputation in Night City.

KK, is he really as strong as the rumors say? Let me see it.

The vehicles approaching from a distance gradually became clearer as the distance got closer.

There were five vehicles in total, each of which was an armored vehicle, and the people with military technology on them saw it with their artificial eyes, and their pupils shrank sharply.

30mm machine gun!

This firepower is enough to be used on ACPA as a common weapon for those drivers.

These were only the basic weapons carried by four of them. On the last armored vehicle, the military technology personnel saw something even bigger. The terrifying thing made the military technology personnel who risked his life to check it scream in the channel before he died: "Car-mounted rockets!"

With a gunshot, the head of the military technology personnel who risked his life to check it was shattered and scattered, but the channel was instantly silent because of his shouting before his death.

What is this?

In addition to machine guns, there are also car-mounted rockets? !

Is this the stuff from the Central American war?

What's the point of using a sniper rifle with this stuff? If they had fired it earlier, would they still be alive?

Are precision-guided module rockets better than kinetic sniper rifle bullets?

While the military technology personnel and the wanderers were in disbelief, Carl calmly confirmed a guess.

That is, this batch of goods is not right.

Normally, if a battle is to be fought, with such firepower, there is no need to approach and fire directly from a distance. In that case, except for Carl, no one here can escape. Even if they consider capturing someone alive for interrogation, they can start to suppress them with machine guns at this distance.

But until now, Carl has only heard the sound of sniper rifles. Does this mean that there are some reasons that prevent them from using rockets and machine guns?

Thinking carefully, it seems that only the people behind the Columbus were attacked by sniper rifles from beginning to end. This is certainly because bullets cannot penetrate the armor of heavy trucks, but Carl clearly saw several brave wanderers sticking their heads out and firing at the armored vehicles in the distance from behind the truck. None of them were shot in the head like the tribesmen behind Columbus.

It's like the sniper is concerned about the heavy truck, for fear of damaging something on the heavy truck side.

But the military technology people have already scanned the cargo in the heavy truck. They are just apples. Apples can't be worth spending so much effort, right?

Carl still couldn't answer the question, but he just needed to know that the other party was afraid to use machine guns and rockets.

When he heard about machine guns and rockets, Carl was still thinking about how he would withstand the machine guns and shoot and destroy the rockets while approaching the armored convoy. Now he doesn't need to think about it. The other party is cautious and must have a close-range firefight, and that is the range that Carl is good at.

'It seems that there is no need to reveal my identity. '

Connecting the helmet that was originally intended to be removed to the connection port of the combat uniform, Carl activated the internal view and judged the most suitable time to attack through the environmental detection attached to the helmet.

"!"

At the moment when a Columbus was destroyed and the sound of dense rifle fire sounded, Carl waited for this time.

He listened to the sound and judged the distance.

Two hundred and fifty meters.

They actually approached to this distance on their own initiative. No matter what the attackers were worried about, this distance was enough.

You have no chance to escape.’

“Prepare to counterattack.”

Carl’s calm voice sounded in the dead communication channel, and he naturally took over the command.

“The remaining combat personnel behind the truck, use the cover to conduct free shooting, and the personnel behind the Columbus vehicle, throw smoke bombs and evacuate to the cargo box of the second truck that has not overturned under the cover of smoke. That is your temporary shelter. Don’t worry about the enemy’s strafing. I will cover you.”

Listening to Carl's voice, the military technology people were a little surprised, but no one spoke out to object. However, the leader of the Rangers who was connected to the communication channel after the battle began directly questioned:

"Who are you? You sound like a leader who cooperates with us, right? Do you want to control us?"

"I am the leader now."

Accompanied by a gunshot, a bullet hole appeared on the ground next to the leader of the Rangers hiding behind Columbus, which made the leader of the Rangers tremble violently.

The leader just used the identification code in the channel to determine where the person who spoke was. The person obviously didn't look at him, and the gun in his hand was also aimed at the ground. When did this bullet come?

"Now, you have four seconds to move."

Carl's voice continued to sound in the channel, and his voice was still so calm: "After four seconds, if you don't plan to follow my instructions and move, then..."

So?

While the wanderers were thinking about the first half of Carl's words, the second half of Carl's words, accompanied by his calm tone, had already reached everyone's ears.

"Then, I will first kill those who disobey me and interfere with the battle, and then kill those on the other side."

Although he spoke in such an unusually calm tone, the chill and oppression in his words made everyone who heard Carl's words feel like they were falling into an ice cave.

They all heard it.

These words were serious.

And the person who said it...

can do it.
