Cyberpunk: 2075

Each ACPA armored driver will be reminded of one thing before riding the armor and feeling the superhuman power, that is, don't be too obsessed with this superhuman power and ignore some small but deadly threats. In the teaching, the most emphasized thing is to face grenades and rockets.

The armor of ACPA is almost comparable to that of main battle tanks, but even tanks can be easily paralyzed and destroyed when facing multiple rockets. Even if they are unlucky and encounter targeted rockets, they may be destroyed in one shot.

The power of grenades is not as strong as that of rocket launchers, but the necessary vigilance is still necessary. Therefore, the first time the grenade rolled over, the driver in ACPA made an evasive action, but after he dodged to the side, he saw that the rolling grenade did not explode, but stopped on the side of the road, staying alone on the ground.

'Dud? '

This was the first thought that came to the mecha driver's mind, and then he saw that Carl threw another grenade towards his position without even looking at it.

The weight of the machine gun was so heavy that even the pilot in the mecha could feel it, so he didn't do what he did when he was using the sniper rifle before, using the machine gun to attack the grenade in the air. He chose to dodge again.

The mecha cooperated with the perfect evasive action that was almost engraved into the DNA during the Mewtwo training, and completed it again, but the grenade that hit the ground next to him was still...

"Dud."

This time, the ACPA pilot reacted.

The other party was cheating him.

An unspeakable sense of humiliation instantly surged into his heart. As an elite personnel, he had experienced this feeling when his shooting skills were suppressed by a street mercenary. Unexpectedly, not long after, he experienced the same feeling on the same person again.

'It's just a mercenary, a thing that made a living in the soil, and he dared to provoke me again and again! ’

Who does he think he is? He is an elite who has gone through layers of selection and is qualified to drive this ACPA. He stepped on all his peers to get this honor!

For this mission, the superiors violated the Night City ban and secretly helped him transport the ACPA into Night City. How could he let the company down!

The ACPA driver, feeling humiliated, just wanted to wash away his humiliation at this time, but he had forgotten what the superiors asked him to do that would not disappoint them.

The ACPA driver left Haruko, who was seriously injured and waiting to die in his opinion, and chased after Carl, who rushed into a building on the street with two duds to delay time.

‘Do you want to block my sight with stones? My armor cannot be blocked by stones! ’

The combat auxiliary armor driven by the ACPA driver was developed by his company not long ago. It is specially used for precision strikes on the battlefield. In the classification of ACPA, its armor should be classified as medium ACPA armor. Although it is not as convenient as light ACPA in terms of speed and action, it is much better than heavy ACPA armor.

The ACPA driver drove the ACPA armor forward. Every step he took would leave a deep concave footprint on the ground. The peace of mind brought by the heavy power gradually calmed the heart of the ACPA driver.

Then, he analyzed his mistakes just now.

His armor should not dodge the grenade. Even if his armor is only medium-sized and not specialized for close combat, it should help him resist the explosion. He should withstand the explosion and tear the fleeing coward with the machine gun in his hand...

The ACPA driver recalled his mistakes in his response. He did not reflect on his cat-and-mouse idea at all, even if he could have solved Carl as soon as he started.

The more each ACPA driver drives ACPA, the more he will be immersed in that power. In their hearts, when driving ACPA, they are so extraordinary and wonderful, just like a dream. Even the people who train them rarely choose to break such a dream, because when the curtain of illusion is exposed, it often brings madness.

Once you have experienced the beauty of being different, it is difficult to become an ordinary person again.

ACPA is very fast, so fast that it arrived just as Carl hid in the building.

Facing the building in front of them, the way ACPA drivers choose to move forward is very simple.

‘Bump’.

For ACPA, stones are not much harder than tofu. In the eyes of ACPA drivers who have more experience in breaking stones than cutting tofu, stones may be the more fragile ones.

“Sir, you need to register...”

When the voice that should be addressed to Carl on the other side of the wall reached the ears of the ACPA driver, he also heard another voice.

That was the wonderful sound of the wall breaking.

"Crash!"

"Ah!!!"

Amidst the screams of fear, the ACPA driver saw clearly what he saw after crashing through the wall. He entered the lobby on the first floor of the building, which covered an area of ​​about 800 square meters. Inside, seven people in reception attire were startled by the ACPA driver's sudden intrusion.

Ignoring these little bugs that could be crushed to death at any time, the ACPA driver quickly searched for Carl's traces, and then saw his back on the escalator about 20 meters long that connected the first floor to the second floor of the building.

Second floor....

Without any hesitation, the ACPA driver raised the machine gun in his hand and pulled the trigger towards Carl's back.

The machine gun bullets with a firing rate of up to 2,000 rounds per minute formed a copper wire in the air. The dense bullets like rain instantly tore the escalator apart, but the ACPA driver did not find any traces of blood and flesh in the falling and broken iron structures and stone fragments.

Was it lucky that you hid up there at the last moment?

But you can't run away.

The ACPA driver rushed to the bottom of the escalator, stood still with his feet, and then jumped directly, relying on the pair of mecha legs, and jumped directly to the second floor, which was five meters high.

When he jumped to the second floor, he saw Carl's figure, but that figure was no longer facing away from him.

As if waiting for him to jump up, Carl threw a grenade in advance towards his position, and this grenade.

It would explode.

In the burst of fire, the ACPA driver, whose upward trend was abruptly interrupted, only had time to hastily aim the machine gun at Carl and then pull the trigger.

The ACPA driver fell down without witnessing the result of his trigger pull, and fell heavily on the ground.
