People in Cyber, using skin to create legends

She waved at Molly and told her to leave.

Molly looked at Muzi deeply, remembering the other party's kindness to her in her heart, then said goodbye to Muzi and left Muzi's office.

Following Muzi's instructions, Molly left the bar through the back door.

As soon as she left the bar, Molly saw the "cowboy" wearing a cowboy hat and a prosthetic eye on his face.

Holding her backpack, Molly looked at the cowboy with a little caution.

When the cowboy saw Molly coming out, he raised his hand and greeted her in a familiar manner:

"Hey, good afternoon, little singer."

"Are you... the bodyguard hired by Sister Muzi?"

Molly asked cautiously, but the cowboy was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"You're not wrong to think so, but my main occupation is still a mercenary. Let me introduce myself. You can call me... 'Cowboy'."

“… the name fits the person.”

Looking at the other person's outstretched right hand wearing fingerless gloves, Molly gently grasped it and shook it twice.

Mercenaries are a special profession in the underground city of chaos.

They are a group of desperate criminals who will do anything for money, killing, robbing, spying, they will do anything as long as there is money.

They take missions from middlemen in various regions. Some famous mercenaries are even approached by middlemen who offer them higher-paying but more difficult missions.

Molly didn't know much about the underground world, and there were no images of it in the memories left in her mind, so she didn't know if the 'cowboy' in front of her was a celebrity in the underground world.

But no matter whether it is true or not, the price of hiring mercenaries will not be low. Molly's salary is enough to buy a train ticket, but if she wants to hire mercenaries to protect herself, it is far from enough.

Thinking of this, Molly felt even more grateful to Muzi.

But at the same time, I also feel a little confused and curious. Why would Muzi spend a lot of money to protect himself?

Obviously, before today, there was nothing noteworthy about Molly.

Chapter 9 This bodyguard doesn’t seem very reliable

The bank card that Muzi gave to Molly was an anonymous card, and it contained Molly's entire month's salary and bonus.

Molly checked and found that there was a total of more than two thousand US dollars, which was more than enough for Molly to live on for a month.

But if she wants to buy a ticket, she must use Molly's savings.

If you want to leave the chaotic city, train tickets and plane tickets are essential.

However, the world is in chaos, and there is no peace outside the city of chaos. It is full of scavengers and vagrants. These people sometimes attack passers-by like robbers. So, not to mention the air tickets, the tickets to leave are very expensive.

Because the ticket also includes protection and insurance for the holder.

High-level tickets even have cyborgs who have transformed most of their bodies into machines to protect them. Low-level tickets will only have some armed gang members to protect them.

Molly estimated her savings and the salary she had just received, and finally came to a conclusion that made her very uncomfortable.

The money she had could only buy a train ticket with medium security, not to mention the more expensive air tickets.

"What's wrong, little girl?"

Looking at Molly standing in front of the ATM with a frown on her face, the cowboy next to her asked puzzledly.

Molly sighed deeply, but she quickly transferred the money from the anonymous bank card to her savings account. She then took out some cash for backup and said to the cowboy:

"I just want to say that the tickets are so expensive."

"There's nothing I can do about it. This is the price of life. If you want to save your life, you have to pay more."

The cowboy said very casually.

Molly didn't look at him, but turned her gaze to the street beside her.

District 22 where Molly is located is not the center of the chaotic city. The overall impression of the entire area is crowded and dirty. Garbage thrown on the ground and homeless people lying on the street can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

These wanderers were originally residents of the City of Chaos. For some reason, they lost their jobs, bank credit, and their homes, and then became wanderers.

During the day they beg on the roadside, but at night they turn into vicious wolves and bare their fangs at passers-by.

Once a passerby with no skills is left alone or walks into a dark corner, he will be targeted by them and all the valuables on him will be robbed.

In fact, during the day, they were already looking for people to rob at night.

There is no doubt that Molly, who had just taken out the money, was on their robbery list.

The wanderers, standing or sitting, would turn their eyes here from time to time.

Taking her eyes off the wanderer, Molly grabbed her bag and said to the cowboy:

"I bought a ticket for 5pm. Can you come back with me to pack up?"

"Five o'clock, it seems too late?"

Due to special circumstances, Muzi allowed Molly to leave work early, but it was already past three o'clock when she left the hotel.

If I head straight to the station now, I might still be able to catch the evening train, but if I go back to pack up...

"I always have to bring some changes of clothes and some odds and ends."

Molly whispered.

Molly didn't plan to sell the house in the City of Chaos, and it was too late to sell it, but she still had to keep some useful things in the house.

Molly couldn't leave empty-handed. After going to the next city, Molly still had to find a new job. During this period, she'd better be frugal and try not to spend money indiscriminately, so she had to take things like spare clothes with her.

Unless Molly wants to wear a dress for a whole month without washing it.

The cowboy spread out his palms and did not continue to refute. Molly told him the tickets and seats she bought in the evening and asked him to buy adjacent seats.

Then he took the cowboy back to his home.

The cowboy is a mercenary, and all reasonable expenses along the way can be reimbursed by his employer, so Molly does not have to pay for his ticket.

After returning home on the subway, Molly quickly packed her toiletries.

After throwing some thin clothes and toiletries into a backpack, Molly left the room and locked the smart door completely to prevent anyone from occupying her room after she left. Then she followed the cowboy to the station.

Not even half an hour was used during this period.

There were no troubles along the way and the two arrived at the station safely.

It wasn't until she passed security and sat in the waiting area that Molly felt a little relieved.

There are still twenty-five minutes before the train departs.

"I'm about to leave this city, don't you have anything to say?"

Sitting next to Molly, the cowboy asked for the sake of conversation.

Molly didn't want to talk. She was still sorting out the broken memories in her mind and looking around vigilantly.

After leaving the hotel, Molly immediately took out money to buy a ticket, went home to pack, and headed all the way to the station.

The reason why she didn't choose to wait another day was to avoid being found by the Skeleton Gang to attack her. Logically speaking, since she reacted so quickly and was already sitting in the waiting area, there shouldn't be any problem.

But Molly always felt like someone was watching her.

The beast intuition coming from her mutant skin made Molly sure that someone was indeed following her, but she couldn't find out who it was.

“…We’re not being followed, are we?”

Molly suddenly asked the cowboy beside her.

The cowboy was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is this what you wanted to say?"

"Are you here to protect me?"

Molly frowned, and suddenly felt that the bodyguard beside her was a little unreliable.

The cowboy smiled and replied:

"Of course, but don't think too highly of me. I am just an average mercenary, not a celebrity, but I should be more than enough to protect you. As for your question just now..."

The cowboy looked around and said affirmatively:

"No one is following me, I'm sure of that."

Are you here to make fun of me?!

Molly's eyelids twitched violently.

She believed in the beast instinct brought by her mutant ability and was very sure that someone was following her.

However, the mercenaries next to him were obviously of low skill and did not notice that they were being followed at all.

This made Molly deeply doubt the professionalism of cowboys.

However, there was no time to change the bodyguards at the moment, and Molly did not have the right to change the bodyguards, as they were not hired by her.

She just continued to look around vigilantly, waiting for the train to start.

Time passed slowly, and finally, Molly heard a 'ding dong' reminder sound coming from the hall.

That was the sound of ticket checking beginning.

But at the same time, Molly also sensed that danger was getting closer and closer to her.

"Little girl, it's time to check your tickets."

Molly sat in the chair without moving, and the cowboy next to her couldn't help but urge her.

Molly ignored him. She looked at the passers-by who walked past her, and her vigilance was raised to the highest level.

Finally, when a man in a brown windbreaker and a pair of brown sunglasses on his nose walked in front of her, Molly's premonition of danger was raised to the maximum!

Without thinking, she jumped away from where she was and rolled over to jump behind the chair.

At the same time, a slight "biu" sound came from the pocket of the man in the windbreaker, and then bright sparks and a "ding-dong" sound were emitted from the metal seat in front of him.

Molly's sudden movement startled the cowboy.

But the sound he heard next made the cowboy react immediately, and he immediately crouched, rolled over, and quickly got out of his seat!

The cowboy did not choose to fight hard because he saw that the man in the windbreaker had pointed the pocket containing the gun at him, but the cowboy's gun was still in his coat.

Chapter 10: The battle between prosthetics and 'prosthetics'

"Damn it!"

After rolling over, the cowboy cursed, and took out a revolver from his coat while rolling, pointed it at the man in the windbreaker in front of him, and then shot without hesitation!

Boom!

Two gunshots announced the beginning of the chaos.

Passersby who heard the gunshots screamed and quickly dodged. They ran fast and in an orderly manner, and soon cleared the area where the gunfire was taking place.

Before that, the cowboy's bullet had already hit the man in the windbreaker.

But the expected scene of blood and flesh splattering did not appear. Instead, two ding-ding sounds were heard, which stunned the cowboy for a moment.

The man in the windbreaker blocked the cowboy's bullet with his side. He stretched his hand out of his pocket, exposing his metallic arm. The tiny holes at his fingertips made it immediately clear how he had "fired" just now.

"Fuck! It's a prosthetic!"

The cowboy quickly recognized the prosthetic on the windbreaker man's arm.

It is a rare weapon-type prosthesis. No wonder he didn’t find anything before!

Molly, who was hiding behind the cover of a chair, poked her head out at this moment. She looked at the tall man in a windbreaker and glanced at the metal prosthesis on his arm.

Then, taking advantage of the moment when the man in the windbreaker was distracted by the cowboy, he suddenly jumped out of the cover, the metal claws on his hands popped out, and pounced straight at the man in the windbreaker!

"Ok?"

Seeing Molly rushing out, the man in the windbreaker was a little surprised.

After seeing the metal 'prosthesis' on Molly's arm, the man in the windbreaker was even more surprised.

The information he received did not say that the little girl had undergone body modification.

However, the man in the windbreaker was also a veteran. When he saw Molly rushing towards him with her steel claws waving, he did not choose to fight hard. Instead, he rolled on the ground to avoid Molly's attack.
