My cyberpsychosis is a task prompt

Chapter 167: Senior Robber

43 Palmer House, Old Factory Apartments.

The grey cement wall shell has shown signs of acid rain erosion, but the occupancy rate is surprisingly high. It is even considered a "high-quality" choice in the Palmer area due to its space and location advantages.

John cleared out a few minions on the periphery.

There are more members of the Rift Party gathered here than expected.

He replaced the second spare magazine since entering the room, and speeded up again as he walked through the "industrial style" hall filled with debris, and came to the inner side used for living and checking equipment.

There were takeout boxes left on the sofa dining table.

The amount of food is very small, but there are more nutrient solution injections and various accessory raw materials.

The Rift Party cooperates with the Ghouls.

One is a group that needs severe transformation, and the other is an important supplier of prosthetic bodies for the city's grassroots. They have similar interests and common needs.

John originally planned to assassinate the enemy in stealth, but when he got closer, he found that the door still had a physical lock.

The building was too old. Even after being converted into an apartment, it was not upgraded to an electric password door. The metal surface was mottled and had some rust, and there were black oil stains on the corner bearings.

The thickness of the steel interlayer exceeds ten centimeters.

Even if John took out his rifle, he couldn't break in, so he simply raised his arms and knocked on the door hard.

A wave of emotional footsteps approached.

The concrete roof is leaking and the sound insulation is worse than expected.

"Shark Coin thing, what are you doing out there?"

The door was pushed open roughly.

John was quick-witted and quick-handed. As soon as he could get half the width of his head out, he grabbed the door and pulled it out.

The Rift Party member holding the door handle was stunned. He lost his balance instantly and was forced to bow forward.

John didn't think twice before raising his knee to his face.

"hiss--"

John's eyebrows twitched and his legs felt heavy, as if he had hit a piece of uneven iron.

According to experience, a normal person would either faint or fall into coma after being hit by this knee, but the muscle bundles of this sturdy man in front of him were very strong, and his neck and shoulders seemed to be cast together, so they were not easily bruised or concussed.

"Hmm..."

The muscles on his back bulged, the heat radiating lines of his subcutaneous armor began to smoke, and he was about to stand up under the attack.

John didn't have time to turn the gun around, so he could only raise his elbow and hit him in the head again.

boom!
The sound of flesh wrapped in iron colliding could be heard.

The sturdy man from the Rift Party knelt on one knee on the ground and punched the ground with his fist to release the force.

He was wearing a vest, his tattoos and muscles exposed, and his arms were thicker than Knight's just seen.

John saw his shoulder suddenly bulge, and subconsciously turned his head. He heard a loud bang and felt that a small explosion had occurred at close range.

A short burst of shotgun shells was fired from the sturdy man's shoulder.

Gun smoke mixed with ammunition and heat waves brushed past John's cheek at a slight distance. Dense bullets were embedded in the opposite wall, causing hollow brick fragments to fly.

hum-

John didn't expect that this guy had a thing hidden in his body.

His right cheek was scratched by a stray bullet, leaving a row of bloodstains that felt hot, and his ears were filled with tinnitus, as if someone had poured warm caramel into them.

I can't hear, I have a strong foreign body sensation, and it hurts when I can't take anything out.

John caught a glimpse of the scene behind the door from the corner of his eye - the dim room was foggy, with tricolor light strips embedded everywhere, and the metal table was piled with parts and needles.

Two heavily remodeled Rift Party strongmen approached the porch.

One of them is Knight.

"Sangmare... bitch!"

The gunner roared and flipped John over, raising his left arm and flipping his wrist to reveal the other gun barrel.

The heavy metal playing on the speakers started to go out of tune.

The movement of the gun man raising his hand was slowed down several times, and one could even hear the slight "cracking" sound of the prosthetic structure.

A stream of data flashed through John's pupils.

Messiah's prosthetic eye was overclocked, capturing the scene of Sian Westin starting up, and automatically activating the graphene chip to make his nerves active.

The light smoke in the room was stirred.

A bald strong man flashed out, leaving a moving shadow in the dark filter. There was a metal prosthesis on his naked back, and the lights were lit up one by one from top to bottom.

He quickly approached John, his fingers tensed, and two mantis knives popped out from the outside of his arms.

John saw the opponent's movements clearly, and immediately activated Swanwestin and retreated backwards at the same time.

The bald man wielded the mantis knife.

He tensed his chest with such force that the skin was torn apart, exposing bundles of red muscle.

The bent tip of the knife whizzed towards me.

Even in the time-stopped vision, one could sense a terrifying aura.

The mantis knife stabbed into the door frame, cutting through the rusty iron-clad wood, and went straight through the wall tiles and grazed John's chest.

The gravel that was brought out blew onto John's face, as if reminding him how close he was to death.

[Forced cooling value: 29%↑]

The bald man showed great explosive power.

John had used up one third of his cooldown time just to dodge this sudden attack. If he continued to maintain the time-stop state and used up all the cooldown time, his prosthesis would be locked, forcing him to exit Swanwestin and start cooling down.

The bald man's transformation is quite significant.

He jumped up, flipped over the cannon man, and with his amazing core strength, he performed a mid-air turn and finished off the opponent with another mantis blade.

John immediately lowered his head and crouched.

He turned his head to see that the blade was embedded in the wall above him and moved downward without stopping, cutting a groove that was heading towards his neck.

boom!
John supported himself against the wall and used the strength of his alloy skeleton to push himself under the gun man.

The bald man's two sneak attacks both missed, but he seemed to be at ease.

His level of transformation far exceeds that of John. He focuses on close combat and has built a complete set of prosthetics that complement each other.

An ordinary lone wolf mercenary would have been seriously injured long ago.

Ultimately, John's prosthesis is of a higher grade.

His prosthetic eye has fast motion capture and high Sian Westin parameters.

Although John moved smoothly and quickly in the time-stop environment, the intense movements had strained a small part of his muscles and put a heavy burden on his internal organs.

[Forced cooling value: 86%↑]

John was quick to grab the gun man's arm and aim it at the bald man.

boom!
The time-stop filter was shattered.

The surrounding flow rate immediately returned to normal.

The bald man teleported from the room to the door, used a mantis knife to cut the wall at the door frame connection, then was hit by his companion's explosive bomb in the air, and fell down after crashing through the wall.

John stood up from under the gun man and threw him to the ground over his shoulder with a close combat move. [Chip: Naked Choke Assassination]

The muscular man was knocked unconscious by the fall. Before he could regain consciousness, he heard a strange sound of metal twisting, and then one of his arms was flipped behind his back and broken.

John loosened his grip, not daring to breathe.

He didn't dare to waste time picking up the fallen pistol. He immediately turned the rifle behind him over in front of him, put it against the gunman's head and pulled the trigger.

The head did not explode.

John saw his shoulders moving again out of the corner of his eye, and immediately pulled the trigger and fired continuously at close range.

The bullet gouged the cortex and severed the muscle bundles.

The area from the back of the gun man's head to his neck gradually shattered, exposing the soft metal and protective structure, until it was a bloody mess and he died completely in the convulsions caused by the residual electrical signals.

Bang bang bang.

Before John could even relax or even fully think of releasing the trigger, he was shot three times in the right shoulder.

The fight between Swansea and Cannon Man and the shooting of Cannon Man happened in a very short period of time.

Knight was standing in the room, but he reacted quickly and was shooting at John with his gun.

John was forced to tumble away from the door.

He leaned his back against the wall to avoid the gunfire, and a dull pain spread to his back.

[Subcutaneous armor: 76%]

The bald man rushed over wielding a mantis knife.

His chest was torn by his companion's shotgun, and blood oozed out of his armor. Sian Westin was also forced to cool down and could only fight at a normal speed.

John dodged as hard as he could and got two cuts on his arm, but he wasn't seriously injured in the close-range fight.

[Chip: Faqi Industrial-Ronin]

The action chip he loaded included technical ideas and evasive moves for fighting against knives with bare hands.

The distance was widened.

John adjusted his rifle, aimed at the bald man and fired. Bullets poured out, gouging him and splattering blood.

This guy was covered in melee prosthetics and armor that made him more resistant to blows, but he managed to withstand the gunfire and hide in the room.

Just as John was about to chase after it, he saw something rolling under his feet.

【△1.75S↓】

The artificial eye scan glimpsed a countdown.

He stopped and crawled to the side of the gun man, and then there was an explosion that echoed in the floor.

The shock wave travels along the main structure of the building.

Screams and screams could be vaguely heard.

John stood up, shaking his head.

Knight and the bald man disappeared, and there was no one left in the room.

As John ran towards the window, he heard the sound of footsteps on the steel stairs, but when he stuck his head out, he didn't see even a shadow.

"Fuck! F-cough cough."

He leaned against the wall and gasped to relieve the tightness in his chest, then briefly searched the room inside and out.

The man did run away.

John turned over the gun man's body to take a picture.

After finishing the basic work, he shook his head, took a deep breath, told himself to stay calm, and thought about countermeasures with a serious expression.

Hum, buzz——

The sound of an engine was heard in the noisy air.

John opened his eyes instantly and climbed over the window as fast as he could.

He was not confused by the maze of sheds and staircases, but walked straight through the alley and came to the main road.

Squeak - buzz -

A black armored car with white logo rushed out of the small road for unloading and transferring goods and turned onto the main road.

It was fast, hanging with the wreckage that broke out of the door.

[Vehicle: Poznin-U70]

This car is of medium size, and its armor level is known as a road tank. When its head is straightened, it looks like a flat-headed container, but it has strong horsepower and an astonishing speed.

John picked up the rifle and pointed it at the driver's seat and emptied the magazine.

But ordinary ammunition only leaves slight marks on the level 6 high-strength bulletproof glass.

The bald knife-wielding man held the steering wheel with red eyes. He adjusted the direction and wanted to run over John, but the other party dodged.

The rounded edges of the U70 truck rubbed against the wall of the building, leaving behind a layer of brick dust and debris.

It adjusted its direction and sped away along the main road.

About tens of seconds later.

Buzz, buzz!

John rode his black motorcycle out of the alley, drifted on the extremely unstable sand road, raised the front of the car in the same direction, and then fell heavily again.

The onlookers came out and only saw the afterimage of the taillights.

【Eden City-Ring Road 244 Viaduct [nearby]】

The strong wind blew past my ears.

John felt a stinging pain in his right ear, which was injured by the shock.

He ignored it, frowned, and weaved through the traffic looking for his target.

Palmer Street is a dead end.

Coming out from the main road of the warehouse, there are not many directions to choose from unless you are heading to the port or out of the city.

He was chasing me very fast, and since he wasn't in front of me, I could only...

John moved closer to the guardrail and glanced down.

At the roundabout exit of the viaduct heading towards the city, the familiar U70 armored car was moving forward at a steady speed.

Knight and Baldy were arguing in the driver's seat.

They cursed and pounded the vehicle, the soft metal structure on their faces twisted and distorted. After roaring and venting, they finally remembered to call to inquire about the situation.

Nate sat in the passenger seat.

He was the first to calm down and gave the order.

"Call those corporate dogs!"

"The problems with goods and people must be solved!"

"Fake..."

He suddenly choked while speaking, his metal-wrapped mouth slightly opened, and he saw through the rearview mirror:
An alloy RCH flew over the elevated guardrail.
