Cyberpunk, but urban
Page 56
Jenna laughed strangely and said something deliberately misleading.
"If you're in heat, I'll run away right away... I'll take the job, and the reward will be considered a favor from you. Who knows, one day in the future, I might need this favor to save my life."
"Really? I can give it to you in addition to the favor you mentioned~"
"And then you and other leaders assign tasks to me all day long?" Ye Lan made a joke, but looking at the smile on Jenna's face, he was afraid that he could not escape the title of "special".
"There is never a shortage of people in the city. Why is the leader willing to do me a favor and ask me to do something?"
"Because you are the only one in the city who knows about things outside the ruins, and you are the only one who will stand on the side of the city and help us."
After listening to Jenna's words, Ye Lan fell into deep thought. The leader represented by this tuner did not hesitate to hint that they would let Angela's matter go to make sure he stood on the side of the city...
"The city wants to explore outside? Has the leader found a way to deal with the monsters and demons surrounding it?"
"Unfortunately... no. The ruins are an insurmountable barrier before us. All we are doing now is just trying to understand the ruins."
Chapter 144. Result Statistics
“Ruins are both the city’s prison and its barrier, and even its endless treasure.”
Ye Lan made a comment and took his leave. The henchmen who appeared outside the coffee shop handed him the specific information of the commission, and a familiar symbol was recorded at the front of the information.
The logo of Plasma Technology.
Sometimes Ye Lan himself didn't know whether the time when he was trained by the Invisible Company in the past was real, but the reports to the organizational leaders that were repeatedly circulated in the headquarters of the Cerebrovascular Company were not false.
However, fifty days in the Lobotomy Company is ten years in the city. Ye Lan couldn't understand how he could talk to the central smoothly in these ten years as if it were fifty days.
He asked Angela, but Angela had no memory of this either. This led to a possibility - Ayin had fulfilled the conditions of the Seed of Light plan during his first reincarnation.
But I'm afraid he finally chose Adam's path, triggering the protection system of the TT2 protocol, and using the massive energy provided by the Seed of Light to turn back the time of the entire city to the beginning.
"Look at it from a bright side. At least this logo proves that my past experiences were not just a false dream."
Ye Lan whispered to himself, and an informant had already prepared everything necessary to instantly send him to the suburbs outside Q's nest.
"Mr. Ye Lan, are you ready?"
The minions asked Ye Lan on behalf of the spy who was temporarily unable to speak. After receiving his affirmative answer, a beam of light covered Ye Lan and everything around him. Just like the library being moved to the suburbs in the original plot, Ye Lan was sent to the commissioned location by the spy in an instant.
Suburbs, unexplored areas outside the city, exist outside of order and above the law. There are no laws here, and everything that the leader thinks should not exist in the city will be expelled here, so there are a lot of unspeakable monsters and ancient technologies buried here.
Countless gangs that consider themselves powerful have taken root here, extending their tentacles to explore those technologies, trying to rise up and become the new stars of the city.
Ye Lan's target, the gang that has now changed its name to the Plasma Cannon, was searching for a group of powerful firearms that were held in the arms of twisted and indescribable corpses from the ruins in the outer suburbs.
These guns vary in performance, but all have the ability to fire plasma ammunition, which is worthy of their manufacturer's name. The hot plasma can easily melt anything in its way within a set distance, and cause splash-type burning damage to the point where it lands.
Each of them exceeded the city's limit on the power of firearms. Each of them was equipped with a micro reactor and plasma generator that could reverse research and overturn the existing logic of the city.
The leader of the plasma cannon gang was actually a very rational person. He immediately asked his subordinates who had obtained these plasma weapons to ensure that they would not appear in the city. Unfortunately... the gang members never had the ability to enforce discipline.
It was just a quarrel that turned into a fight, and a member of the Plasma Cannon Gang melted an entire bar with his plasma pistol, which also brought the gang into the leader's sight.
Abandoning all the belongings in the city, the plasma cannon fled back to the suburbs, occupied an abandoned shopping mall in this area, and transformed it into their fortress.
Ye Lan, who was teleported to the vicinity of the shopping mall, did not summon his ego immediately. Relying on the ruins that were everywhere in the suburbs, Ye Lan approached the vicinity of the shopping mall without leaving any trace.
The glass was broken, leaving only the empty window frame hanging in place. The gang members simply piled up some useless debris here to block the wind and possible wild beasts and monsters from entering.
"It's just a thing that falls down with a push, so it's just a message..."
The situation was favorable for Ye Lan to sneak in. He complained, but he did not forget to take action. The Spider Nest's ego equipment [Red Eyes] was woven into his body.
The dagger, like a spider's fang, opened a whole row of vertical pupils in his hand. All the creatures that could emit heat in the entire shopping mall building were marked with its help, emitting a faint but clear red light in Ye Lan's field of vision.
A thin but surprisingly sticky layer of spider silk was precipitated from his dark purple coat which was also covered with pupils. With the help of the spider silk, Ye Lan stuck all the debris together so that they could not make any sound, and then he walked lightly into the first floor of the mall.
The first group of patrolling gang sentries were resting in the ruins of a fast food restaurant opposite the two stores, leaving a clear blood-red outline in Ye Lan's field of vision.
Then, spider silk that fell from the sky bound the heads of the two sentinels. The fang-like dagger slashed across their necks. Faint swallowing sounds drifted away, and within seconds, the bodies of the two men turned into a thin layer of shriveled human skin, hanging from the ceiling like spider silk.
"No guns... two cannon fodder on the periphery."
Leaving behind a sentence muttering to himself, Ye Lan's figure clinging to the ceiling continued to move. The entire first floor of the shopping mall was cleared out within minutes, and all the gang members turned into nutrients under Chi Tong's blade.
But when it comes to the second floor, the situation is no longer something the Spider's Nest ego can handle.
Any entrance leading to the second floor was occupied by brutal thugs armed with live ammunition. Their sights crossed each other, leaving no gap at all.
Facing plasma ammunition, even if Ye Lan was hit head-on by one, he would die instantly. Facing the defense line that was definitely set up by professionals, Ye Lan's choice was to go straight to Bai Ye.
The Lost Paradise ego equipment is different from other egos. It can cause soul damage and has a very long attack range.
As the snake staff slammed into the ground in Ye Lan's hand, the dark traces directly engulfed all the gang members around the escalator. The power that directly attacked their souls made them unable to make any sound, and they fell to the ground like they had no bones, and lost their lives directly.
"Enemy attack!"
The enemy, who was watching them from a distance, called out to his companions, relaying the news of the attack to everyone within the sound range.
Afterwards, the same dark traces covered every place where the sound was made before they found Ye Lan. The formation on the second floor of the mall was torn to pieces by Ye Lan in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 145. I have a sad announcement - Happy April Fools' Day
"Boss, it seems some bad guys have sneaked in from downstairs! The guys who came up from the second floor said they suffered heavy losses. The first floor, it seems everyone on the first floor has been wiped out!"
Just as the gang member who came to report the situation downstairs reported to the gang leader who occupied the entire fifth floor of the shopping mall alone, only a cold corpse was left on the second floor where Ye Lan was.
There were no scars on the bodies killed by Paradise Lost. Each body seemed to be sleeping, lying peacefully on the ground.
Ye Lan stepped over the limp corpses, whose bones seemed to have dissolved in the black air emitted by the snake staff, and walked towards the escalator leading to the third floor of the mall.
The gang members on the third floor have higher status and possess more advanced Plasma Tech weapons. Although their number is smaller than that of the second floor, their firepower is stronger than that of the second floor.
They poured endless plasma down from the gaps between the floors. The micro-reactors continuously supplied energy, and the scorching plasma rain would not stop until the cooler on the gun overheated.
Ye Lan watched as the marble floor within the shooting range melted under the blind shooting of these gang members. In an instant, it turned into boiling molten lava that fell to the first floor and spread in all directions, almost instantly igniting all the messy debris on the two floors. A raging fire broke out in the mall in the blink of an eye.
"Scorch Girl, it's time to light your last match."
Bai Ye's wings grew behind Ye Lan, carrying him away from the abandoned mall at a very fast speed. The shadow of the charred girl emerged from the air, and the huge match inserted into her charred body and pierced her heart ignited without wind. The swaying flame had almost no presence in the fire scene, but in Ye Lan's opinion, it was almost the same as the countdown of a nuclear bomb.
[If I'm about to burn out... then you should burn out too.]
In an instant, all living creatures around the shopping mall building, including Ye Lan, heard the announcement from the charred girl's phantom.
Then, cracks began to appear on the charred girl's body, which was on fire all over. Flames and unconcealable dazzling light gushed out from her petite body.
After a moment of roar, Ye Lan's ears were filled with silence.
Visible air waves pushed the debris piled up in the shopping mall building out of the window. Countless visible and invisible objects were spinning and flying in the sky, and then all fell to the ground.
Then new flames and light overturned the roof of the shopping mall, propping up a terrifying mushroom cloud in this suburban area.
"Oh my god, this girl is just a Teth-level Abnormality..."
This time, if nothing unexpected happens, this gang called Plasma Cannon will be eliminated. But the death of the person does not mean that Ye Lan's work is over.
Those plasma guns obtained from the ruins further out were also things that he was commissioned to destroy. Before making sure that all these weapons were destroyed, Ye Lan still had to check them carefully.
The buzzing sound in his ears gradually disappeared, and the aftereffects of the violent explosion caused by the scorched girl gradually dissipated. At this moment, from the ruins of the collapsed mall, a stream of plasma fluid dragged a blue trajectory through the concrete wall and flew towards Ye Lan.
"How can anyone still be alive?"
The wings behind Ye Lan trembled, and accompanied by a loud sound of flapping the air, his body soared into the sky in an instant, leaving all the plasma that had reached the maximum distance and broke free from its restraints and scattered in all directions at his feet.
When he reached his current position, Ye Lan saw something very familiar through the gaps in the wall - a layer of translucent ion shield with honeycomb patterns.
Another flagship product of Plasma Technology is the digital life support system. Such a system usually includes a vital sign detector directly connected to the company's intranet, anti-syncope nerve stimulators, nano-fast healing injections, and the personal stable ion shield that saved the gang leader's life at this moment.
The plasma-tech firearm in his hand was the Storm plasma submachine gun, a disposable weapon based on a special micro-reactor that quickly produced plasma ammunition.
Once the trigger is pulled, the plasma generator overloads its onboard reactor, continuously pouring ammunition in the direction you're pointing it before the entire gun overheats and melts.
"You're a Forbidden Hunter, right? Let me see if a first-level finisher like you can survive my hail of bullets!!!"
As Ye Lan sighed, the gang leader pulled the trigger of the Rainstorm Plasma Submachine Gun. Plasma poured towards him like rain, as if leaving a rain cloud made up of plasma in the air.
But unfortunately, urban people like this gang leader simply cannot understand the combat effectiveness of a first-level finisher.
Take Vespa, who has appeared before, for example. This young man can leap to the thirteenth floor with a light jump, and can easily cut through an entire building by swinging his weapon.
Ye Lan, who was using Bai Ye's ego [Paradise Lost], had an ego that was even a super-Aleph-level special product. With the support of this set of equipment, he could even defeat the minions who killed the first-level finishers like chickens.
The gang member only had time to see Ye Lan's wings tremble behind him, and Ye Lan disappeared from his sight in his terrified expression.
The gang leader, overwhelmed by fear, screamed "Ahhhh" and spun his body, pointing the special weapon that could not stop shooting before it overheated in all directions.
Only by spreading the plasma in all directions in this way can the gang leader feel a little safe at this moment.
However, in Ye Lan's opinion, his reaction speed was too slow, and the gang leader's actions were almost like slow motion to him.
The apple in the mouth of the snake head on the end of the staff in his hand glowed, and a black mist followed the snake staff that Ye Lan stretched out to the gang leader, passed through the broken shield that made a crisp cracking sound, and touched the gang leader's body.
The gang leader suddenly went limp, and Ye Lan took over the plasma submachine gun that was still firing, and let it continue to spray towards the ruins of the abandoned shopping mall until it overheated and became scrapped.
"Fortunately, Paradise Lost is an unreasonable soul attack, otherwise it might not be able to penetrate that layer of shield."
Ye Lan untied the shield generator from the corpse on the ground and put it into his pocket, then began to recover the plasma weapons and destroy them all.
Chapter 146. So how do we go back after we’re done?
The process of destroying the guns is not complicated. Ye Lan only needs to disassemble them according to their design, and then short-circuit the micro reactors used to power the guns.
As for the rest, it will be enough to leave it to the reactor melt caused by the short circuit.
But after tidying up everything, Ye Lan discovered a very serious problem - the spy had never mentioned how to get him back before sending him there.
"Come on, I have to go back by myself..."
Ye Lan blinked and took out the letter of authorization again. In the letter of authorization, the column about the mission location was written in black and white: "Outskirts outside Q Nest, the exact location is unknown", which made Ye Lan's scalp numb.
The location of Q Nest is on the north side of the city, and its suburbs are almost included in the northeast corner of the city. And L Nest is in the southwest of the city, almost diagonally distributed with Ye Lan's current location.
If Ye Lan wanted to go back, the fastest way would be to leave the suburbs first, return to Q Nest and board the Warp train directly. But even if we don't discuss the fact that W Company's Warp train is a reservation system, Ye Lan must first cross the suburbs and return to the city.
Ye Lan put away the letter of authorization, took out his phone and looked at the map on it. His current location was beyond the signal range of the city, and he couldn't make calls or check the Internet, but at least he could find the direction with the compass on the map.
"There's no way to go back if we just stand here... Let's move on."
After taking a last look at the shopping mall building that was blown into ruins by the coked girl, Ye Lan turned and walked towards the direction of the Q Nest. The suburb where he was was a completely desertified area. The endless yellow sand destroyed all the vegetation. Only the buildings still proved that this place was once part of the city.
The battle between Ye Lan and the gang called Plasma Cannon created quite a noise. On his way to Q Nest, monsters whose original forms could not be identified would run over there, trying to gain some benefits from the remains of the battlefield.
There were many monsters who thought they were stronger than Ye Lan and tried to attack him, but Ye Lan, who was walking towards the city on the yellow sand, was much stronger than his appearance showed.
After a scorpion with a shell made of an unknown metal died under Ye Lan's ego equipment, the monsters around him that were eyeing him covetously disappeared in an instant.
