Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 114 Night City Living Legend

Chapter 114: Night City Living Legend

Several months passed after that.

【03: 15】

【Old Industrial Zone of Santo Domingo】

Steam hissed as it gushed out from the cracks in the rusty pipes.

Another night city.

Another beautiful day.

Jack Wilson walked from the sidewalk to the abandoned apartment. He straightened his collar and walked into the elevator. After the rusty elevator cage closed, he slowly turned around and looked at himself in the full-length mirror.

He has a burly figure, a Japanese samurai-like hairstyle, and a big, honest face. However, unlike his usual image of a mercenary wearing a tactical vest and jacket, today he is wearing a tight black suit.

He looked left and right, wiggled his hips, and suddenly nodded with satisfaction.

Then he asked the headset with some pride.

"Hey, V, L, what do you think of my outfit?"

Kashasha.
Two ID names sounded in Jack's auditory channel, but only the names were displayed without any images.

L: That's so cool! You look like a funny wrestler about to go to WWE.

【V: L, don't be too gentle with Jack, he'll get carried away. 】

"Hey!" Jack was a little flattered by the former's praise at first, but then he immediately became alert and coughed twice. "What are you talking about? It's work time. I'm a professional."

[V: Yes, yes, yes. Then remember to remain professional when you meet the company's agents later. They're using military technology, so be careful.]

"receive."

As Jack whispered, the elevator door opened.

A dim corridor came into view, with a flashing traffic light above my head and the ground littered with beer bottle slag and newspaper scraps.

He walked to the room they had agreed on in advance and knocked on the door.

Room 305

But after a while, the door opened.

".Please come in."
-
A rusty rat flashed across V's sniper scope. The beast was gnawing on the cheap jelly that had solidified on the drainpipe.

V regarded this purely as a side story of the animal world and read it with great interest.

His breathing rate was not disordered at all. The sniper rifle's aiming line cut through the neon billboard of the apartment building - the word "Super Dream Experience" was missing a few strokes, and the radicals were not displayed.

【Hey V, keep an eye on it for me. 】

Jack whistled softly through the earpiece, and V hummed, turning to look at the thermal image of the human figure huddled in the corner of Room 305.

Dex Cui, a third-level military technology engineer, the man in the thermal image seemed a little nervous and kept scratching the back of his neck.

"He's so nervous. I think he's done something sneaky."

V smiled, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

[Stop talking! You're making me nervous!]

"take it easy."

V opening.

"as always."

inside the room.

"The goods are in the freezer and the temperature must be maintained at minus 40 degrees Celsius." The man's voice was like a rusty bearing.

He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "You can leave after you get the goods. Kangtao Company will tell you what to do for the rest."

That's right, the company.

Jack reviewed this mission again in his mind.

Dex Cui, a third-level military technology engineer, stole important experimental samples from the company and planned to sell them to Kangtao Company for protection.

[Regardless of the reason, Jack and the others were mercenaries commissioned by Military Technology, and were told to do whatever it took to retrieve the samples.]

The difficulty of the task lies in obtaining all samples and information to ensure that they are not leaked.

[So, in order to prevent the other side from becoming desperate, Jack kidnapped Kang Tao's men and disguised himself as Kang Tao's mercenary to negotiate with the engineer.]

If everything goes well, it would be best if this person handed over the real thing, but unfortunately——

Jack put the suitcase on the coffee table with a grin, and the chrome box reflected a few streaks of silver.

"I understand the rules, but the company requires on-site inspection of the goods."

"There's no such rule. I've shown you before, right?"

Dex's expression turned grim, while Jack grinned as if he didn't notice anything.

"You know we need real-time updates of information. Our company is always striving for innovation."

"If you don't want to show it to me, I'm in a difficult position."

Jack put the box on the table, his hand already on the combination lock——

At that moment, Dex's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.

【boom!!------】

Before Jack could finish his words, the ceiling collapsed, and four Tiger Claw ninjas, wrapped in concrete shards, came crashing down! The frail engineer immediately activated his temporary augmented body, and with incredible agility, he flipped over and leaped out the window!

“It will turn out like this!”

Jack roared, but in fact, when he entered the room, his artificial eye had already scanned the four heat sources above.

Just the same as always!

He did not point the gun at the fleeing engineer, but instead rolled over and hid behind a sofa that had been prepared long ago.

Dadada! ! ——! ——————

The bullets interact with each other and the sofa can be turned into a sieve in no time.

But what the Tiger Claw Gang didn't expect was that at the moment they pulled the trigger, a small electromagnetic pulse grenade had quietly appeared in front of them.

They haven't even landed yet.

【Buzz! ! ————————————】

boom! ——

"Ugh!"

The swirling air current threw Engineer Dex out of the window, and his body, already unbalanced due to tension, swam wildly in the air.

And that's not the worst of it.

The worst thing was that the early warning system in his head was madly sounding a red alert.

The direction is——

Over the sky.

There is a moon hanging high in the sky.

In the earliest days of comic books, a man in black wearing a cape under the moon would be considered an urban hero who caught criminals.

But in Cyberpunk 2077, that's not the case.

Dex looked up at the figure in disbelief, as if his neck was being strangled.

The figure of the 'mercenary' that even the company dogs dared not fail to recognize.

That—the shadow of a legend!

The outline of the abandoned water tower appears particularly sharp against the leaden gray sky.

The legend stood at the highest point, the hem of his yellow jacket fluttering in the wind.

The Edgewalker's signature jacket was slightly loose, yet perfectly outlined the lines of his shoulder blades. Black tactical trousers wrapped around his slender legs, the trouser legs tucked into high-top combat boots, highlighting his almost perfect proportions.

The wind lifted his hair, revealing his heart-pounding golden eyes. His pupils still shone with a lava-like luster in the dark night, as if he was looking down at ants from the clouds.

In short, cool.

Cool, cool, cool! Supermetal! So cool! Dex almost thought there was some amazing background music playing in his ears!
Legendary Mercenary——

L!!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Dex's psychological defenses collapsed almost immediately, and he turned and ran.

"Are you so scared?" Upon seeing this, someone who was posing on the rooftop casually leaned forward half a step.

tread!------

He ran down the vertical wall, took out his pistol, and pointed it forward. With almost no aiming movement, the bullets formed a delayed barrage behind him.

The first shot broke the connection of the rusty iron ladder, and the collapsed metal structure just blocked Dex's way.

The second shot shattered a neon sign thirty meters away, and the pouring rain of glass forced the target to turn to the predetermined route!

The third shot accurately hit the propane tank in the garbage dump, and the blast threw Dex into the air!

【Every shot is so precise and elegant】

But it’s much more than that.

A single bullet wouldn't have such power, but each of Lu Mingfei's shots seemed to hit the most vulnerable 'seam point' of the material, causing widespread damage.

One shot would be fine, but three shots would be the same, which would make people feel as if he could see things that ordinary people could not see.

"Our boss is still as scary as ever." V made the sound of a bullet firing with his mouth and pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle from a distance, "Swish~"

The large-caliber bullet was fired the moment Dex was knocked over by the air wave and stopped in mid-air.

The bullet, packed with enormous kinetic energy, instantly smashed the man's knee, and almost simultaneously shattered the airtight window behind Dex, splashing out large pieces of broken glass!

"Hit."

V confirmed.

“————Ahhhhhhh!!!”

On the other side, Dex screamed and fell to the ground.

His legs were crushed flatter the moment they touched the ground, but he did not stop. Instead, he continued hurriedly and crawled out.

He dragged his broken leg, blood drawing a winding red line on the asphalt road. His breathing was as heavy as an old bellows, and every breath smelled of rust.

But he couldn't care less - the iconic Delaman taxi was drifting around the corner, its tires screeching as they scraped against the ground.

【Welcome aboard the Delaman special car. 】

The voice was still calm and elegant, as if they were not on the run but attending a dinner party.

"My grass!"

At this moment, Jack, who had dealt with the Tiger Claw Gang members with just three punches and two kicks and pressed their heads against the broken glass by the window, looked out the window and shouted loudly.

"Delaman!!"

"My goodness, the mission required us to capture him alive. I didn't expect he could afford the Delaman package. It must have cost a fortune."

V in the distance clicked his tongue.

Lu Mingfei forced the target out for her and prepared the best shooting angle, but she should have fired one more shot to blow off both of the man's knees.

"fine."

But different from Jack's shock and V's regret.

Lu Mingfei slid down the pipe and looked at Delaman who was running out at full speed without any signs of panic.

“I can catch up.”

Lu Mingfei's Sian Westin began to buzz at this moment, and the world turned into a black and white movie in his eyes. He could see how every suspended dust particle was vaporized in the gunfire.

Dex practically fell into the back seat, his broken leg leaving a bloody mark on the leather seat.

Delaman's engine roared like a dragon, and the turbocharger dyed the nitrogen accelerator fluid a dazzling blue.

The car slid into the main road's traffic, weaving through the suspended workshops, less than half a meter apart. Smoke from the friction between the tires and the road rose amid the neon lights, like struggling ghosts, and each drift left a charred crescent-shaped mark on the road.

The speed was so fast that Dex felt like he was about to vomit, but at the same time he couldn't help but have the fantasy that 'I should be able to get rid of that guy so quickly'.

Correct.

fantasy.

[Target detected approaching]

Delamain's calm voice made Dex feel like he was going crazy.

Outside the car, passers-by marveled at the golden flash that quickly passed over the top of the tall building - but they had already gotten used to it.

They recognized the legend.

boom!
click -

The abandoned ventilation duct groaned under the man's feet as he leaped between the steel frames, his yellow jacket fluttering behind him like a flag in the wind.

Lu Mingfei's Achilles tendons stretched into two fully drawn bows the moment he exerted force, and his muscles swelled like hydraulic pumps, leaving spider-web cracks on the concrete floor.

The pupil split into countless golden fragments, each reflecting a different escape route - the rusty fire escape on the left, the tilted billboard in the right front, and the crisscrossing heating pipes overhead.

The muscles awakened like snakes, driving the right arm to draw a perfect half arc.

The moment his five fingers gripped the horizontal bar of the fire escape, they contracted in coordination, pulling his torso into a reverse arch. The anterior tibialis muscle of his left leg suddenly exerted force, and his combat boots kicked sideways on the rusted steel frame, using the reaction force to throw himself towards the heating pipe several meters away!

The fingertips accurately engaged the rivet protrusions, and with a light tap, the body was pulled out of a sharp angle that violated the laws of physics.

This series of actions cannot be described as "parkour".

Although he does run, and it's really cool.

When Delaman drifted around the corner again, Lu Mingfei was jumping down from a 30-meter-high billboard, his golden eyes drawing two streaks of light in the neon lights.

Like the god of death coming to take lives.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Dex couldn't help but yell, and the Delaman's in-car AI also made a sound.

[warning, warning]

Before Delaman's warning sounded, the car suddenly cut into the opposite lane.

The sparks that burst out when the left rear wheel rolled over the isolation belt drew a long red arc in the humid air. The burnt smell of rubber mixed with the cedar scent from the car's fragrance system, forming a strange olfactory symphony.

The tread pattern, adjusted for grip, kept friction just below the threshold of loss of grip. The shriek of the tires against the ground resembled a banshee's lament, and smoke rose from the tire tracks, revealing the inhumanity of this technology.

Escaped?
The drift at the critical moment made Lu Mingfei's attack miss. Dex's stomach was churning and he couldn't help but pull at the seat cushion to look behind the car, his pupils trembling.

No, no, no.

The monstrous creature came closer to them from several kilometers away, but they were unable to catch him.

He fell behind the car, in the middle of the intersection, and stood there looking at Dex, watching the car get farther and farther away from him.

Hehe. Hehehe.
Survived, I survived!

YAY!!!!

Dex is air boxing!

He turned his head and looked towards the front of the car, as if looking at his bright future.

There is poetry and distance there.

There is money and beauty.
