The Creators: From Night City

The short battery life and huge energy consumption simply cannot meet the requirements of the standard close combat weapons of the [Anti-Entropy] armed personnel.

So Jiang Bing just made a prototype weapon for reference and temporarily put this development direction on hold.

But this did not prevent him from gaining new upgrade ideas for [Persuasion], after all, the 'Divine Seal Fragments' seemed to be able to provide unlimited energy.

Jiang Bing, the craftsman, looked down upon this semi-finished prototype weapon, but David regarded it as a treasure.

In the previous battle to wipe out the Luan Dao Society, David used a plasma hand saw to cut open the door of a Beamon heavy truck. After that, he fell in love with the feeling of sawing things like crazy.

It is hard to say that this was not influenced by Jiang Bing's previous battles.

So he asked Jiang Bing for this slimmer, foldable prototype weapon under the pretext of collecting data for daily carrying and actual combat testing.

Chapter 100: The plan to conceal the truth

"Who the hell are you guys?"

Accompanied by the sound of fierce gunfire, Lucy had just connected the communication when the leader of the edgewalkers sent by the old captain shouted in the communication channel.

"We are Ms. Gloria's people."

Lucy remembered Mrs. Martinez's advice and introduced herself as soon as she came up.

"Ha, you two are the ones who cut in line. What are you doing on the phone now? Are you going to reap the benefits?"

There was resentment in the other party's words.

This is normal, after all, the other party's brother just died.

"If you don't want to die, move toward the back wall of room 205. Remember to bring Anilla Pais with you."

"Also, the people who will be going there are our own people, so keep your guns pointed and don't cause any accidental injuries."

Lucy was very calm when she got into work mode, and the other party's complaints did not shake her concentration at all.

"David, walk about two meters forward. The designated spot is right above your head. Are you sure this will work?"

David crouched down and made the extravagant move of driving a Swan Westin to hurry on, and finally reached the back of the townhouse in a short time.

The entire apartment is L-shaped, and the biotechnology liquidation team is blocking the gap at the front door of the apartment.

For the sake of security and privacy, these cheap motel-like apartments have no windows at all.

This is also the reason why these company dogs are sure that the other party cannot escape.

After all, the high-explosive grenade, which is considered to be the most powerful weapon that the Edgewalkers always have at hand, can't possibly blow up 240mm thick high-strength cement.

Not everyone carries highly explosive compounds from petrochemicals in their pockets.

Of course, this is also related to the other party's limited manpower.

"I've checked with Lucy. There are no enemies behind the apartment building. The plan is working. Call Delaman now and have him go around to the back to pick us up."

Now that things have come to this, the arrow is on the string and must be shot.

Lucy reminded them to be careful and started to contact Delaman who was waiting outside to pick them up.

David also used his hands and feet to climb to the back wall of Room 205 with the help of drainage pipes and various grooves.

He shook his hand and unfolded the brick-like [Cutter (Prototype)]. As the fixing buckle closed, a plasma cutting saw about 30 cm long appeared in David's hand.

The principle of plasma cutting is to use the high energy density and instantaneous high temperature of plasma to directly melt the cutting object, thereby achieving cutting behavior.

It does not require much torque to drive the saw teeth to rotate for physical cutting, so the saw teeth of the [Cutter (Prototype)] do not make much noise during operation.

This is also what makes it different from the Chainsword.

David thrust it upside down and plunged it straight into the hard concrete wall.

Like a hot knife cutting butter, David didn't even have to use any strength in his arm holding the knife, and the plasma blade of the [Cutter (Prototype)] melted directly into it.

David held it as if he were holding Ma Liang's magic brush, and in an instant he drew a door on the wall.

David carefully closed the [Cutter (Prototype)] and made sure that the blue plasma had completely disappeared from the superconducting saw teeth before he dared to fold the weapon up and put it back into his waist.

There's no way around it, the power displayed by this prototype weapon is really scary.

David kicked down the wall in front of him with a few kicks and entered the room through the "door" that was cut out.

Although everyone in the room had received the notice early on, they were still very surprised at how the other party broke through the wall.

All this trouble is done just to avoid making any noise.

Without the explosion, the biotech cleanup team wouldn't have thought of escaping through the wall.

In the current situation, the edge walkers under the old captain knew that they would die if they broke out, so they reached a consensus early on and gathered their formation towards room 205.

“Who is Anilla Paes?”

David confirmed the target immediately.

"Me, me, me."

A red-necked man with wrinkles on his face immediately stretched out his hands to hold his head and gestured to David.

A thin male Edgewalker suddenly spoke up, "Why, two of my brothers died, and you want to reap the benefits?"

David was about to explain when an edgewalker at the door who was holding a light machine gun and continuously firing downwards was found by a biotech sniper, and his right arm along with the light machine gun in his hand was twisted into a knot.

Without fire suppression, the enemy's firepower suddenly became fierce. Many bullets passed through the door frame and hit the ceiling at an angle, making a bang.

Anyone who can work as an edgewalker in Night City is very capable.

The thin man who had just clashed with David ripped open his large windbreaker, pulled out a series of modified grenades, threw them out the door, and pressed back the opponent's forward momentum.

【Lucy: David, Delamain will be here soon. 】

After receiving Lucy's message and seeing the situation was so critical, David gave up the intention of arguing with the other party. He quickly revealed the escape passage behind him and signaled the other party to evacuate quickly with the wounded on the ground and Anilla Pace.

This move was able to defuse the somewhat tense situation.

David kicked Anilla Pace down from the second floor and followed closely behind.

A thin man followed closely behind, carrying a female edgewalker who had lost blood and was unconscious.

Finally, there was the firepower operator whose right hand was damaged. His injury looked scary, but it was actually not fatal. His internal circulatory system must have been modified.

"You actually called a Delaman taxi?"

The thin man was the leader of the team. When he saw the very recognizable model of Delaman Taxi, he couldn't help but scream.

"Is the mission reward enough to cover the cost of hiring a car?"

David didn't answer, stuffed Anilla Pais into the back seat, and told the two to get in the car quickly.

Fortunately, the five people were still within the carrying capacity of Delaman's taxi. Although it was a bit crowded, no one in the car cared about it at this time.

When everyone was gathered, Delaman turned the car around and started to run away while being chased by the biotechnology team.

Bullets hit the car body with a bang, but the performance of Delaman was fully worthy of its high price. It dodged most of the bullets with a few flexible tailspins, then continued to accelerate, quickly leaving the crossfire area, driving onto the road, and running wildly.

Seeing David successfully escaped, Lucy, who was hiding nearby, did not stay and left secretly.

[Lucy: Keep an eye on Anilla Pace. We'll meet at our destination.]

"Ivny ​​is dying!" The thin man in the back seat spoke with grief.

"Delaman is equipped with a basic life support system, but it requires authorization from the main authority customer." The unique voice of AI sounded in the car.

The other party turned his gaze to David in the driver's seat, his eyes full of pleading.

David didn't hesitate much and responded directly: "Authorization"

"Authorization confirmed. Please plug the victim's prosthetic cable into the corresponding socket behind the driver's seat."

The man hurriedly did as he was told.

"Injury scans are underway, and a corresponding life support plan is being established."

Delamain's tone did not change at all.

Chapter 101 Phoenix Nightclub

"Please remove the life support device located at the bottom of the passenger seat, insert the green catheter into the victim's vein, and begin the medication injection."

The man did as he was told unconditionally.

The co-pilot's gunner suddenly spoke up at this moment: "We can't go to the planned evacuation point. What we need most now is to find a prosthetic doctor immediately."

Anilla Paes, still terrified, immediately retorted, "No, absolutely not! This isn't safe. Those Biotech spies will sniff us out soon. I have to leave town immediately."

The thin man beside him turned his head suddenly and stared at Anilla Pace fiercely, his eyes bloodshot. "We've already lost two of our brothers because of you, and you still dare to say such things."

The Edgewalkers are not Arasaka's security personnel. They treat customers like gods. If you really make them angry, they will kill their employers.

So, after being yelled at by the other party, Anilla Pace immediately shut up and looked at David awkwardly, hoping that he could be fair.

"I know a place that has reliable prosthetic doctors and is absolutely safe."

David looked at the top line of the communication page, which was the boss's reply, "Bring them over here," and grinned, taking charge.

…………

South of Coronado Ranch.

Jiang Bing's illegal clinic opened for the first time.

The first patient to be admitted to the clinic was a female cyberpunk named Ivny, who had one foot in the grave.

Fortunately, once she was on Jiang Bing's operating table, even if the God of Hell gave her an offer, Boss Jiang could still talk to the other party about the scope of law enforcement.

"Doctor, how is Ivny?"

"It's not fatal. The enemy used tungsten armor-piercing bullets, which were a bit too powerful and directly penetrated the abdominal cavity. It's actually easier to treat. It's just that the internal organs were ruptured and caused heavy bleeding. Replacing them with corresponding prosthetic organs will be fine."

The injury to the other mercenary's right arm was even simpler, and he didn't even have to go to the operating table. The prosthetic arm was simply a hot-swappable device. Jiang Bing removed the broken arm, did some simple disinfection, and was done with it.

Later, after he decided what kind of prosthesis to replace, he could directly find a clinic to have it installed.

"Tell me about it."

The pressure brought by Jiang Bing is not comparable to that of David.

Although it was unknown how the other party had persuaded the biotechnology purge team that was following behind everyone to stop their actions in just a few minutes, this did not prevent Anilla Pace from wisely surrendering.

Moreover, there is no need for the fake drug dealers to keep it secret at this moment. After all, the factory has been demolished and their lives are still in the hands of the other party.

When asked, he spilled the beans without reservation and told the whole story about East Construction Company buying fake medicine from him.

What's even more amazing is that he also kept the relevant details and transaction records, which are enough to be considered as ironclad evidence.

Although it's useless in Night City.

I have to say that the old captain was quite capable as a middleman. After learning the specific situation, he immediately found Gloria and wanted to send someone to pick these people up.

After obtaining the chip recording the transaction information, David, at Jiang Bing's signal, readily sent away Anilla Pace and the edgewalkers under the old captain.

As Jiang Bing expected, the old captain came to him on his own initiative not long after.

Although it is in the form of communication.

"Hello, Mr. Sabul, I'm Muammar Reyes, and everyone on the street calls me the old captain."

In the video, the old captain has a thin face and a super long wolf-tail hairstyle, giving him a bit of a melancholy and wandering look.

As long as you don't open your mouth, your words will be down-to-earth.

"Hello, I've seen your vehicle reviews on the Good Car Intermediary terminal. They are all quite insightful and it's obvious that you've done some research." Jiang Bingyan said sarcastically.

But this time it just hit the other person's itch.

"Hey, Mr. Sabul is also knowledgeable about cars?"

The 'craftsman' nodded slightly and added half the water of the Mississippi River.

"Understood."

"Then we can have a good discussion tomorrow."

After the old captain finished his greetings, he immediately introduced the purpose of his call.

"This time, I really owe it to you, Mr. Saber, and your men. I never thought the biotech industry had such a keen sense. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know. I'll be happy to help you."

Jiang Bing naturally wouldn't take the other party's courtesy seriously.
