Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 28 Mann
Road on the outskirts of Night City.

Stars were shining in the sky, scorching the earth, and even the air was trembling slightly.

"Huha. Huha" The fine beads of sweat gathered into drops, and then flowed down from the cheeks in strands, soaking the vest, and finally evaporated by the high temperature.

"Good morning, Night City! Let's welcome a new day in the City of Dreams!" The city broadcast was as thin as a mosquito because it was too far away.

The bronze skin reflects a golden glow under the strong light.

"You're going to be late for work again today - some people are still daydreaming about being the next 'Old Snake' Wayland, causing everyone to be stuck in traffic jams and unable to move."

The figure in front flickered, and the boy stopped at the end of the road.

"I want to be a top cyberpunk like you!" Young Mann shouted to his parents.

They once completed a legendary commission and became well-known figures in the cyberpunk circle.

"Hahaha! With your small body, you will never be a cyberpunk in your life. You'd better study hard!" His father, who was burly due to a large number of prosthetic modifications, patted Mann's head and said.

"I've started running for exercise, don't look down on me!" Mann clapped his hands away and said angrily.

"Haha! Really? We will be waiting!" His father hugged his mother and smiled at Mann. It was hard to imagine that his mother, who was so nimble and quick to attack outside, would also show such a gentle smile.
-
"Dong dong dong" There was a knock on the door.

Mann opened the door after seeing the person clearly.

"Uncle Donbas, what's wrong with you? Where are my parents?" Mann said looking at the scarred Donbas. He is his parents' closest comrade.

Donbas said nothing, shook his head, handed the two urns to Mann, and then left.

The two cyberpunks did not die in the legendary mission, but capsized in the gutter.

After the death of his parents, Mann dropped out of school and joined the army. After serving for a few years, he was discharged. Because the army and the government withheld and delayed his retirement pay, and because of his own wishes, he returned to the cyberpunk circle.

Bree Bar.

"Mann, you did a good job today!" His teammates handed him a bottle of beer and put their arms around his shoulders.

"Huh? What are you looking at?" Teammates noticed that Mann was staring straight in one direction. She was a bold woman, drinking with the men around her.

It's easy to guess what a person like Mann is thinking. He must have fallen in love with that woman.

"Haha! Go ahead, you're not afraid of killing, are you afraid of this?" His teammates patted Mann on the back and encouraged him to go up and strike up a conversation.

Mann plucked up the courage, picked up the bottle and walked over.

"I" "Are you here to have a drink with me too?" the woman said first.

".No, I'm here."

"Then we're here to fight." There were so many people here who saw her unhappy, and provocative people would come to her door from time to time.

"what?"

The woman threw the bottle away, rushed over and beat Mann so hard that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

"Are you coming yet?!" The woman grabbed his collar and said loudly with her eyes wide open.

"Hand over the damn money!" A pistol was pressed against her head. At some point, several masked gangsters broke in, pointing guns at everyone and demanding money.

But today they encountered a tough situation.

"Bang!" Mann, who was pinned down, quietly took out his pistol, raised his hand and blew off the gangster's head that was pointing at the woman's head.

It was like someone lighting up a cigarette in a flour mill, and the air in the bar began to expand violently.

Mann pulled the woman and rolled behind the counter to temporarily escape the hail of bullets above her head.

"Huh~ thanks. What's your name?" the woman asked.

"Mann. What about you?"

"Dorio."

The density of the bullet rain gradually decreased, and Mann saw the opportunity and rushed out with Dolio, killing the remaining gangsters in twos and twos.

"Have a drink with me?" Mann said to Dolio, holding up the beer bottle with only the bottom left.

"I'm going to drink you down." Dolio smiled.
-
"Mann!" Dolio's voice pulled Mann back.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
