Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Hailing approached Aine and grabbed Aine's [Automatic Slaughter Machine] with one hand and grabbed the back of Aine's neck with the other hand.

The two were thrown to the intersection of the underground river pipes. Before they could react, they fell on the wet ground.

then.

"The intruder is trying to escape!!!"

Xiangzi shouted.

"--Varied--"

Aiyin and Lixi, who had fallen to the ground, finally reacted.

They were used as bait!

But by this time, the situation had become very bad.

"attack!!!"

Tongues of fire spewed out from both ends of the passage.

The mercenaries attacked from both sides and sandwiched Aine and Riki. They opened fire.

At the moment when the mercenaries were distracted by these two people...

Xiangzi hid back in the fork of the passage and gave the order.

【Oblivionis: Demolish immediately. 】

Chapter 3 RUSH B (2k monthly tickets plus more)

The intersection of the two pipelines creates a four-way intersection.

Riki and Aine were thrown right in the middle of this intersection.

Directly to the east of them were the three enemies they had just fought.

There, the pipeline was blocked by a closed iron fence, creating a dead end.

Now, more mercenaries are coming from the north and south sides.

There is no doubt that the only place where Riki and Aine can hide temporarily is the west.

There, at a distance, there was a fork in the road.

Bullets flew.

Li Xi protected her head and face and pulled Aine up from the ground.

She dragged Aine to the west fork in the road——the bullet grazed Aine’s cheek——

"What did you lose!" Li Xi roared, "First, those little things, and then yourself!"

“If I don’t delay, Rikki’s hands and feet will be broken by those people!” Aine shouted even louder.

"Goo-"

Riki had to admit that Aine was right!

If Aine didn’t throw those things down, she might not be thrown out—

But she didn't jump for safety!

Li Xi looked diagonally forward.

The thermal imaging image of her police-grade artificial eye captured the three people who had just attacked her at the end of the east fork in the road - including Hai Ling - damn it -

They are operating at the end!

Lixi saw that they installed——

"!"

Li Xi, who often participates in BCPD riot control missions, could tell at a glance that the other party was installing explosives!

The other party is about to break down the iron fence!

After the battle, calling for reinforcements, and then having a closed area to enter in a hurry?

No matter how you think about it, it must be an important material area or a hostage detention area!

Li Xi's head buzzed with this realization!

There is no doubt that the other party wants to ensure the status of the hostages, coerce or transfer them!

Whether it is coercion or transfer, Li Xi will never accept it!

Because the light is probably - no, definitely there!

"Is the light mark still in the same place as before?"

Li Xi asked loudly.

Aine immediately confirmed——

“Yes, yes!”

Aine shouted.

"Tsk!"

Li Xi clenched her fist tightly - damn, she couldn't clench her fist tightly anymore - [Overload] and the previous exchange of fire had burned her wrist joints - and might have torn off some of the implanted reinforced muscles -

Li Xi was determined to rescue the lamp no matter what.

At least, we can't let the other party take the lamp away like this!

It looked like it was about to be found! Once the lamp was taken away here, there was no telling when it would be found again!

but--

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

The mercenaries' firepower network is closing in!

Someone shot at where Riki and Aine were hiding!

Bullets fired from firearms such as the Heckler & Koch MPK-9, the Allied Arms Technology Assault Submachine Gun II, and the Eagle Rapid-Fire Assault Shotgun Type 12 arrived at the two men's location with terrifying sounds!

"stand up!"

Lixi yelled.

She yanked Aine up.

She took the [Strong Brick] off her back. Her hands were no longer able to carry out effective direct attacks. Now, the gun would become her last resort.

"How many gadgets do you have? The kind that explode!"

Riki asked Aine loudly.

“Not much left!”

Aine also spoke loudly - they had to speak loudly enough so that their voices would not be drowned out by the sound of gunfire -

"Not much left!?" Lixi shouted.

“Almost all of them are gone!” Aine also shouted, “That’s not a gadget, that’s an [Automatic Slaughterer]! The explosive model, there’s only one left!”

What does the explosive model of [automatic slaughter machine] mean?

No, Lixi doesn't have time for this now!

One piece is definitely not enough!

At most, it would only delay the pursuers for a few seconds!

Damn it, is there no choice but to run away...!

Escape from the West!?

Just like that, watching the lights being taken away?

If Li Xi was here alone, she would move forward even at the risk of her life!

but--

Li Xi turned around and glanced at Aine!

She doesn’t care what other BCPD reserve officers do!

But she—

She would never let her teammates follow her to die!

The balance of [evacuate or assault] in Lixi's mind has already tilted towards evacuation!

After all, if you don’t escape now, once the encirclement gets tighter, you won’t be able to escape even if you want to!

Both of them will be hanged here!

“You can see the surrounding environment, right?” Riki shouted to Aine, “What is your [Environmental Cavity…]?”

Li Xi shouted, "Scan to the west! And scan the external weapons... Anyway, report the surrounding situation to me!"

She will definitely come back faster to find the light——

But now, we can only retreat!

Lixi has decided to obtain intelligence and left from the west!

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Li Xi fired warning shots forward, causing the bullets to ricochet in the pipe and hinder the advance of the external mercenaries, while retreating.

In the time Riki bought, Aine quickly scanned her retinal projection.

Her [Environmental Cavity Detection-Ultrasonic Stereoscopic Imager] is working.

It had never been turned off, and by now, it had already scanned the outline of the terrain.

Just as it once depicted the terrain in CiRCLE, it also depicted the terrain of this underground waterway!

“There’s also an iron fence at the west end!”

Aiyin reported.

Tsk.

Just as expected. Symmetrical structure.

"Left, right, inspection hatch—"

Where can I evacuate?

"——There is a ventilation pipe and a thinner water supply pipe——Empty, no water——Width 1.2m——"

Can pass.

This is currently the best solution.

Li Xi thought at the fastest speed she had ever thought.

Listen again - if there is nothing else, evacuate to a safe area through the ventilation pipe or water pipe, then return to the ground, and then return from the outside -

"—outside the right wall is a large cavity—the density inside is higher than air! That's all!"

Good. There is no other way.

Just retreat through the ventilation duct...

……and many more.

"Big cavity?"

Lixi captured this keyword.

How could there be a large cavity underground?

Special room?

Denser than air...

Li Xi suddenly thought of a possibility.
