Cyberpunk: 2075

The attack happened faster than expected.

Even faster than Karl and the others thought.

They all thought that maybe the attackers did not take action all the way and waited until they reached their destination and were most relaxed before taking action, so they were all ready to deal with the enemy in ten minutes. However, they did not expect that... After they checked the time, turned the corner and drove towards the Kanbi Building, the convoy behind them was attacked.

"boom!"

Karl, who was the first to recover from the deafening sound of artillery and rolled down from the car. After taking precautions but not being attacked, he finally realized that the place where the sound broke out was not in their area. place.

He almost thought that he was so vigilant and hadn't guarded against the attack.

"The convoy at the rear was attacked. It seems that the attackers have already locked the target this time."

Oliver walked out of the car with Shingen in hand. He had now determined that the previous retreat of the attackers might not have been a forced retreat due to insufficient personnel, but some kind of test.

There has always been a saying about escort missions, that is, the most obvious one may not be the target, because everyone knows that it is better to hide than to show off, walk struttingly on the road, and hide in the flow of people.

"They attacked us first before, maybe because they suspected that there was a target among us. After confirming that there are no targets among our personnel, they no longer need to entangle with us..."

As Oliver said this, he saw that other mercenaries had already gotten out of the car and picked up their weapons.

"What do you say Carl?"

Jack looked at Carl.

"Go back and save him."

Although the company dog ​​refused to save them just now, the situation is different now. The target is under the protection of Arasaka security personnel. If the target dies, then the trip will be in vain.

"Any tactics, KK?"

Mann is now very convinced of Carl because of his performance.

"No."

Karl took out Kenshin.

"Just kill them all."

He is not a professional bodyguard and does not know any protection tactics. He only knows that if he kills all the people who pose a threat to the target, the target will no longer be a threat.

There are now ten mercenaries left. Apart from Carl, Jack, Oliver, and Mann, there are still six people. The six people seemed to have discussed something when they were in the vehicle. After getting off the vehicle, one of them was looking at Carl. After they nodded, they ran towards the distance. Looking at the direction he was running, it was exactly opposite to the point where the target was attacked.

‘You’re running away temporarily because your mission is over? ’

Just when Karl was thinking this, the leader of the remaining five people walked towards Karl.

"Your name is Karl, right? I just heard your companion call you that."

"Who are you?"

Looking at this middle-aged man who was about forty or fifty years old and with various scars on his face, Karl, who had originally planned to rush to rescue the target, was a little confused. He didn't know why the other party was still following him at this time. Introduction to what to play.

"Just call me Brown. The target will be rescued later. The protection of the target will be left to you. We have seen your skills before, and you are the most capable among us."

"The target protection is entrusted to me. What does this mean?"

Don’t everyone have to protect their goals?

"We all know this mission. It's not easy for those who want the target's life. If we can't stop him later, in recognition of your kindness in saving my companion just now, you can run away with the target, and we will risk our lives to help you block it."

When he was talking about risking his life to help Carl block the attacker, the middle-aged mercenary's expression was very calm, and the expressions of the four mercenaries behind him were also calm, as if that was how it should be.

Karl seemed to suddenly understand something.

He glanced at the back of the sixth mercenary who was now running away. The middle-aged mercenary noticed Karl's eyes, and he also looked back at the escaping teammate.

"He is the youngest member of our team. If the mission is completed and we lie down, he will receive payment from the middleman on our team's behalf. The money will be enough for our family to survive."

As he said that, he passed Karl, took four companions, and took the lead towards the corner.

"Don't worry, we have given instructions. If they all die, the mission fails, and there is no money to bury them separately, he will come back to help us pick up the bones and bury them together. You don't mind being buried with us."

"That... I don't mind."

"That's fine."

A smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged mercenary who was full of ravines: "Then let's go up first. Remember, if it doesn't work, just run with the target. You are young, so don't die in front of us."

The man had been very calm from beginning to end. It was only when he was about to die that he showed a smile. And this smile, when he led his companions around the corner and the sound of gunfire rang out, It disappeared into the bend.

"Good man."

After Mann patted Karl on the shoulder, he quickly chased after him.

"Then among this team, I will be the first to go."

He said when he temporarily joined the team that he would be in the front.

"call...."

Karl exhaled slightly, and his eyes were full of seriousness, which was an expression that Karl had never shown before.

There is nothing in the world that is heavier than the entrustment a person makes before death.

This heavy weight has forced Karl to become serious.

When Carl, Oliver and Jack came to the corner, they saw a chaotic battlefield.

There were less than 20 of the 37 Arasaka security guards left. They were protecting the Sword of the Lake Girl and crashed into a store. They were defending the store that looked like a convenience store. Not far away from them, there were two teams of people rushing towards them with weapons.

One team was the attackers. They were easy to recognize because the Shingen submachine gun was too recognizable.

The other team was...

"The scum of the Whirlpool Gang."

Looking at the Whirlpool Gang members who were holding all kinds of messy weapons and screaming over there, Jack rushed over with the Saratoga submachine gun and followed Mann.

The current battlefield situation is.

The Arasaka security guards who were protecting the target left the vehicle and were forced into a three-story convenience store beside the road. There was no shelter in the convenience store, and the door of the Lake Lady Sword was also open. The target was unknown where he was now. In front of them, the attackers with smart weapons and the members of the Whirlpool Gang were rushing towards the convenience store together. On the side, there was a mercenary team rushing over.

"I'll follow Mann and Jack. Carl, you go around to the back door of the convenience store. If there are no attackers with people surrounding you, run with the target."

Oliver glanced at Carl: "The target is left to you."

"Are you going to fight to the death?"

"Just think of me as being infected."

As he said that, Oliver also rushed up.

And Carl also understood what he should do most now.

That is, just like Brown and Oliver said, run with the target.

Run.

Have to run.

The target that the enemy wants to attack is the target. As long as the target runs away, their group of mercenaries will not be targeted too much, and it is not impossible to survive by then.

Carl has killed many people in 2075, but saving people is the first time.

But this...

"It's worth doing."
