Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Page 228

Miao Meng leaned his head out from the side of the vehicle and used his glowing prosthetic eye to lock onto the surveillance camera probes at the new intersections, comparing them with the corresponding time periods to determine in which direction the pickup truck was heading.

Under the guidance of Miao Meng, Hai Ling turned the road.

Main road, overpass, main road, small road——

Xiangzi and his group finally chased into a complex complex of buildings.

"..."

Once you get here, you’ll enter an area without surveillance.

"(Is this the way to get rid of detection?)"

Xiangzi thought.

at this time.

……rustle……

"...!"

Xiangzi's brain-computer's [hearing enhancement component] picked up a faint noise.

"……good……"

That sounds like...

"(crowd?)"

The voiceprint showed that it sounded like many people were talking.

"..."

Xiangzi made a gesture.

Hai Ling pulled over, passed the flower bed, and parked the Columbus freight van inside a building.

Everyone got off the bus.

"Be careful."

Xiangzi raised [Pride] and Hailing picked up [Black Unicorn].

Miao Meng didn't take anything.

Xiangzi glanced at Miaomeng.

"Being distracted by the gun situation will slow down my hacking into the brain machine."

Miao Meng blinked and said.

"Did you know that the link used in smart guns is a shared thought circuit?"

……

Miao Meng intends to continue the topic of "the impact of parallel smart guns and hacker activities". In her words, "in order to activate the brain before the war, some brainstorming is necessary."

However, neither Xiangzi nor Hailing showed any interest in this topic.

Miao Meng began to chat harmoniously with Chu Hua in the brain computer.

"That's true." Chu Hua responded to this question during a break from work, "The adaptive circuit of smart guns can increase the AP damage of thermal imaging... I remember it was..."

"Cybermodem adjusts the link." said Mu.

"..."

Okay, okay. Now it was Miao Meng who couldn't keep up.

Her experience in using smart guns is not as good as Chuhua's, and in terms of professional knowledge, she is not as good as Mu - she means that she knows how to use those things, but who would bother to memorize scientific names that are only used in dictionaries?

"I think we shouldn't talk about this anymore! Let's focus on the battle situation!" Miao Meng said, "We are in a very critical situation here!"

"Didn't you just say you wanted to brainstorm?"

Hai Ling asked.

"Hey!"

Miao Meng expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Hai Ling's behavior of only adding insult to injury at critical moments.

"..."

Xiangzi did not participate in these conversations.

She noticed that the sound was getting stronger.

"...Good...good...beat..."

"it is good!"

There are also footsteps.

Some people were also attracted by the sounds and were moving towards that direction.

"..."

Xiangzi walked around another block.

Now, I can hear it clearly.

"Right there! Hit him!"

"it is good!!!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"[Bronze Jaw] wins again! Three consecutive wins! Incredible!"

"The next challenger!"

"..."

Xiangzi turned the corner.

The person who appeared in front of her was not a thug from the Toyokawa family.

But a large group of people.

"Fight! Fight!"

Everyone was excited and gathered around a circular area surrounded by a fire pot made of gasoline barrels.

There were two people in the venue.

They raised their hands in front of them, stepped forward and backward, and took a defensive posture while fighting each other.

One of them had an ordinary build, but his jaw had undergone cyber-transformation, with a huge, rusty-copper-colored cyber-prosthetic jaw installed that looked like a dump truck.

The artificial eye scan showed that he was the defender [Bronze Jaw].

The other man was stronger than Bronze Jaw, with a face full of flesh and dressed like an ordinary punk gangster. It was obvious that he was determined to win.

He is a challenger.

Beside the venue, there were several people holding [Alliance 71] flamethrowers, who were obviously guards maintaining order at the scene.

Behind these guards, Xiangzi saw the pickup truck they had been following all the way.

A corner of the canvas on the pickup truck was opened, revealing a red gasoline barrel.

"Boxing match!"

A man wearing sunglasses and holding a flamethrower shouted.

"Tired of endless gunfights? Want to get resources with your own fists? Just put in your supplies and you can have a real - fair - competition -"

"The ever-victorious boxing champion [Bronze Jaw] exchanged all his winnings for gasoline! He staked his gasoline! What do you want to stake? Of course, those who don't have anything to stake can also come to me and exchange electronic currency for gasoline!"

"You can still sign up now! Of course, you can also place bets! Place bets!"

"...So, someone is organizing an underground boxing match?"

Miao Meng poked his head out from behind, took a look and said.

"It looks like a mobile arena." Hai Ling also looked around, "I've seen it in the main urban area of Lezhi City... but this is the first time I've seen it in [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land]."

"So, the huge amount of funds was obtained by defending the ring and opening the market?" Miao Meng said, "There are so many [Alliance 71] flamethrowers... and there are other vehicles in the depths. It seems that gasoline is used as fuel for vehicles, ammunition, and currency... No wonder there is so much gasoline."

"They're not just using it for their own use," Hai Ling said. "This is more than they use. I guess they chose gasoline as currency because they really want to start an underground boxing match and monopolize the gasoline sales business in [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land]."

"I thought it was Fengchuan who did it!" Miao Meng put his hands behind his head and said, "I was shocked! It turns out that someone else wanted to monopolize it!"

She looked at Xiangzi.

"What's next, Boss?"

"Go and see."

Xiangzi said.

"Oh oh! Do you want to challenge them? Or do you want to trick them?" Miao Meng became excited and shouted, "Do you want to confirm whether there is any connection with Fengchuan more definitely? Do you want to crack down on the embryonic form of industry monopoly? Or did you think of a way to get gasoline? You are not afraid of the guards holding the [Alliance 71] flamethrower! You are worthy of being the boss!"

"Do not."

Xiangzi looked ahead and said lightly.

"It's just because we don't have enough gasoline to drive the car back."

Chapter 1: Fighting (4k monthly tickets plus additional content)

boom!

Another punch in the ring.

[Bronze Jaw]'s fist smashed into the challenger's brow.

It was light and didn't seem to have much power, but it still drew a line of blood.

The opponent retreated - he was already pushed to the edge -

boom!

Another punch.

The opponent fell backwards and out of the ring.
