Cyberpunk: From Dogville to Legend

Chapter 61 Malicious Competition [Please continue reading]

[Caller: Angie]

Seeing that the communication signal was about to drop at any moment, Lin Yue quickly stopped in his tracks.

He ducked to avoid a heavy punch from the animal gang member in front of him, then landed a straight punch on his opponent's stomach, causing blood to gush from the man's mouth on the spot.

Click.

Lin Yue easily snapped his neck with both hands. Just as the distant camera turned, Lin Yue's kinetic pistol shot it, causing it to smoke.

"Rin...sir, what do we do now?"

Angie's face kept flashing on the other end. The hacker's signal jammer had a small range, but Lin Yue only needed to take one more step to completely cut off contact with Angie.

"Find a location you deem safe first, and my people will handle the hackers who are looking for you. If you want to be the accountant for the Dogtown animal gang, then you'll have to prove yourself."

Lin Yue didn't say much; customers also have to bear certain risks themselves, that's the rule.

He is currently engaged in business competition with Hanz—a malicious competition from Lin Yue, and this "business war" has shaken Hanz's core business.

As is widely known, combat stimulants are used by most Night City Corporation soldiers, mercenaries, and gang thugs.

Drugs like "Qinglizhi" and "Shanshan" are considered stimulant drugs. In addition, there are also hormones injected into the bodies of animals to build muscle. This is the kind of business that the Animal Gang does.

How big is this pie? Even the Ghost Hound business was introduced to Aye by Hanz, and Hanz himself couldn't resist taking some of the profits.

Angie's cleverness lies in the fact that she knew she couldn't get involved in the drug and hormone business, so she simply focused on underground boxing and prosthetics.

That's why she was able to barely gain a foothold in the animal gang.

Lin Yue hung up on An Qi and ran along the internet cable to the hacker's location.

Although the situation has been somewhat reversed, we still need to deal with this hacker quickly, otherwise he will cause even greater damage once he has free time.

Sometimes Lin Yue wished he could split himself in two, one half sitting in Dogtown to direct operations, and the other half personally handling matters for clients!

An automatic door began to deform rapidly, and Lin Yue, the gorilla, grabbed the crack in the door and ripped it open—

To hell with the access token! The heavy puncher with over ten points of physical strength showed no fear.

……

Building materials and some garbage were piled up on both sides of the second floor of the mall, which had been cleaned up by the animal gang.

Thick network cables were twisted together to lead to an emergency passage deep inside the mall.

Rebecca waited in the shadows for the animal gang's henchmen to pass by.

The security camera scanned the entire corridor, and Rebecca's communication system seemed to be blocked. She couldn't notify anyone of the hacker's location and could only grit her teeth and try to find her way up.

The camera spun around, and the hacker lying in the network room broke into the network. He now had two tasks: on the one hand, he had to use the dilapidated local area network to take care of the people for Marta, and on the other hand, he had to find Angie's location.

At this moment, Marta paced back and forth next to the hacker, hands on her hips, while two henchmen stood guard on either side of the automatic door, ready to react to any possible situation.

"Where the hell is Aye?!" Marta grabbed her hair in a fit of rage.

The hacker's voice came from the camera inside the house.

"He's dead. He must have been killed."

Marta's chest heaved as she rambled on, cursing, "Aye was talking nonsense, saying there were middlemen helping out in Dogtown, and that he could solve most of the problems... What's going on now? Damn it!"

"The middleman didn't even have time to warn Aye, who knows when you careless people got your travel information dug up—"

"The new guy in Dogtown has a company backing him. Isn't it easy for him to dig up information on you brainless idiots?"

"Also, I advise you to show some respect to Mr. Hans. If you want to continue doing business in Dogtown, then shut your mouth. Mr. Hans will handle things once I find Angel's location... Forget about you, you piece of trash."

The hacker spoke bluntly, giving off an arrogant and condescending vibe.

There's no way to communicate with these animals whose brains are practically built into muscles. They only have their own little world and no foresight... Only Aye is a bit smarter, but unfortunately, he's doomed.

"what?"

The hacker mumbled something unintelligible.

"Martha, send your men to this area. A brat has crept up here." After hearing the hacker's words, Marta moved closer to the computer screen. In the video, a short girl with pigtails ran up the escalator that had long been out of service and quickly darted into the emergency exit on the side.

The beast-like woman stared intently at her prey, grinning maliciously, "I'm going to crush her!"

The automatic door opened, and Marta led her people out in one fell swoop.

The hacker reclining in the hacker chair sneered, "A muscle-bound idiot."

Huff, huff...

Rebecca dared not stop. She knew she might not be able to get close to the hacker, but her teammates were in such a dangerous situation, and with the signal cut off, she had no way to turn back.

almost.

Rebecca knocked down the network camera on the automatic door in front of her, and the thick network cable was pushed into the hole she had smashed in the wall.

Her intuition told her that this was where the hackers were located.

She panicked when she found a combination lock on the door and hurriedly tried to find another entrance, whether it was through the ventilation ducts or something else.

Just as she was looking around, the door in front of her opened without warning, so she quickly turned her head—

Before she could even look up and see who it was, a heavy punch came straight at her, its length covered in thick veins and bulging muscles.

Rebecca instinctively dodged, but unfortunately her shoulder was still hit. Then, she was thrown into the air by the force and slammed hard into the concrete railing behind her!
Crack—Rebecca's rifle was also thrown aside, sliding across the ground to her side.

The camera inside the door moved quickly and aimed at Rebecca.

A red-haired woman, as large as a small mountain, emerged from inside, looking down at her with a set of white teeth like a wild beast.

Rebecca was dazed from the shock. She struggled to her feet, her fingertips digging into the ground, blood streaming from her mouth—she felt as if all the bones in her body were about to shatter.

However, she refused to give up. Despite being in excruciating pain, she suddenly sprang to her feet, grabbed her rifle, turned around, aimed at the enemy, and pulled the trigger without a second thought!

Zizi!

Electric arcs erupted from Rebecca's slender arms!

"屮!"

She had no means of protecting herself from hackers, and her prosthetic body malfunctioned so quickly that she dropped her gun. She could only watch helplessly as Marta, that beast-like woman, raised her knee and tried to stomp hard on her face!
Although she could no longer dodge, Rebecca still pressed down hard on her trembling arm, trying to regain control. She hadn't lost until she was dead!

She wasn't afraid at all, so she gritted her teeth and growled.

"I'm going to your mother!"

call out--

A voice so familiar it's ingrained in your bones.

The sound of the bullets firing and piercing flesh was somewhat pleasant, like when she faced the Whirlpool Gang, the bullets coming out from behind would take care of the enemies in her blind spots.

Marta's foot froze, and she stumbled. Smoke billowed from the huge hole in her waist. She instinctively covered the wound with her hand, but blood, like a fountain, kept gushing out from between her fingers.

Just as Marta looked up, a piece of steel bar, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, spun and swung right in front of her!

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

When the steel bar touched Marta’s face, her bones began to deform, and her skin swelled up like weathered plastic before breaking!

Boom!
A dull thud sounded as flesh hit a hard object, and Marta fell flat on her face!

That foot didn't manage to land in time.

Lin Yue threw aside the sniper rifle, and the bullets from his kinetic pistol bounced off the wall behind the two Marta henchmen. He then rushed toward Rebecca, who was a few steps away!
Marta was not giving up. Her deformed face was hideous and terrifying, revealing the wires and bones of her prosthetic body. The pain editor and the long-term effects of hormones had long since made her unable to feel pain. She was determined to smash this woman's body flat and embed her head in the flesh!

She got up, clasped her hands together, and slammed them down on Rebecca's head!
boom!
Lin Yue raised his arm, his body suddenly sank, and the prosthetic arm made a clicking sound.

For the first time, the gorilla's arm felt pressure; the transmission joint revealed a black prosthetic membrane, emitting plumes of heat...
