Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"Oil depot!?"

Li Xi immediately asked Aine!

Could it be that behind the wall on the right is the mercenaries’ oil depot?

Are you so lucky?

In this way, as long as you break through the wall, you can get fuel!

Fire is always the most primitive and reliable weapon!

They can light the passage, hinder pursuers, and attack at the same time!

however.

"No... not the oil depot!"

Aine said loudly, sending her analysis image to Riki's brain machine.

Lixi saw the cavity density given by the scanning software.

Close to 1.0g/cm^3.

what is this?

Wait...this is...

"... Reservoir...?"

Chapter 3 Range Attack (2k Blade Extra)

The place where everyone was located was originally an underground sewer pipe connected to the river channel of [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land].

It's very humid here.

But normally, this place shouldn't just be "humid".

This is the rainwater pipe used to handle rainwater. It had just rained in this area. Logically, half of the pipes here should be submerged in water.

What prevents this place from becoming a true "sewer" is the underground water tanks used by the mercenaries to collect rainwater.

In order to prevent the station from being flooded, to prevent the foothold from being too humid to affect the preservation of firearms and gunpowder, and at the same time, to save relatively precious water resources in the absence of normal water supply [Reclamation New Land Phase 2], the mercenaries dug up rainwater wells, connected them with pipes, and built large underground water tanks to receive rainwater. They stored rainwater for drinking, daily use, and to provide water cooling for important instruments and valuable hackers.

This type of large water storage tank can be found in many places in the underground sewers.

The location where Aiyin and Lixi were currently retreating while fighting back was right past one of those places.

A reservoir. Damn it, not an oil depot. A reservoir is useless…

at this time.

Bang.

far away.

There was a loud explosion from the other side of the passage.

"!"

It’s the direction of the east!

Li Xi immediately realized that the three people who stayed on the east side had already completed the dismantling of the iron fence!

Damn!

Can you escape and catch the rescue light?

How to do?

Li Xi's forehead was covered with sweat.

Channel - Pipeline - Reservoir - Damn it, think quickly, there must be a way -

That's when.

Sand Dong.

"!"

Li Xi heard other sounds coming from deep in the west passage!

Although it was very slight, it was obvious that someone was approaching!

Mercenary!?

If more mercenaries come from the west, we’re doomed!

With three sides surrounding him, there was no way he could get out alive, let alone the rescue light!

No more delay!

“Hey, Aiyin.” Li Xi quickly moved to the side inspection hatch, saying as he ran, “Can you blast – blast a small hole in the reservoir?”

Aine had already taken out her [Automatic Slaughter Machine] shaped bomb when Riki said the word "explosion".

But when she heard the following words, she frowned again.

"How is that possible!" She was just as nervous as Li Xi. She shouted, "Open a small hole? Even a small hole will be crushed by the water pressure!"

She could see the size of the reservoir!

Because it had just rained, the water storage level was terrifying!

I'm afraid that once the pipe is opened, the water will fill up the entire pipe in an instant.

"I-I know!"

Lixi said.

Lixi wanted to make a small opening.

In this way, the water flow can disrupt the pursuit of the outsiders, causing them to fall and dampen the gunpowder in their weapons. At the same time, it can also allow the two to flow downstream to the location of the lamp.

But the problem is, the water level cannot be controlled!

Everyone will be involved!

outside.

The mercenaries are approaching.

“Hey, Rikki, what should we do!?” Aine shouted.

"..."

"Rikki!? Hey, Rikki—"

"I'm thinking!"

Li Xi gritted his teeth.

Finally, she turned her attention to the inspection hatch.

"——Follow me——"

retreat--

however.

at this time.

Lixi glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that the mercenaries chasing them also entered the pipeline fork on the west side.

They were carrying assault rifles and shotguns.

There are also people holding...wait...that is...

Heavy weapons?

Lixi's artificial eye flickered. She recognized it as a rocket launcher.

The armed struggle in [Reclamation New Land Phase 2] is far more intense than in the City of Joy. And the difficulty of obtaining weapons is also higher than in the City of Joy.

Therefore, people here usually use whatever weapons they can get.

"Oops-"

Bang!

There was a muffled sound and a puff of white smoke.

After seeing the two men, the mercenaries on the opposite side fired rockets.

The rocket whizzed towards them——Riki immediately threw herself at Aine——The rocket flew over the heads of both of them——

boom!

It hit the pipe wall.

Having been in [Reclamation New Land Phase 2] for a long time, the mercenaries who were used to using destructive weapons probably didn't think about what this meant - they didn't look at the map and had no basic planning awareness -

In order to confirm whether to use the reservoir, Aine and Riki have been standing at the edge of the reservoir since the beginning.

The rocket hit the wall close to the reservoir.

"—"

A horrible, dull tearing sound came from behind.

Riki and Aine turned their heads sharply.

They watched in horror as a huge dent was blown into the wall. A crack appeared in the dent. The crack was getting bigger and bigger.

Crunch. Crunch.

"water--"

Aine wanted to say something.

But in the next moment.

Bang!

The water pressure completely opened the crack.

……

Boom boom boom boom.

A sound like thunder resounded throughout the entire sewer pipe.

This sewer pipe, after its construction, truly played its role for the first time.

flood discharge.

The water crushed the wall in an instant!

A large amount of rainwater gushed out from a height of 5 meters, turning into a torrent. The water hit the wall on the opposite side, forming a vortex. The water hit the ground and poured into the pipe in front. The mercenaries cried out "Ah" and "Wow" one after another. They were hit by the water and fell into the torrent.

"Damn it!"

Li Xi held onto Aine tightly, struggling in the current! She choked on the water several times - she was now extremely grateful for the training she had received in land and sea combat - she sank and floated, relying on her [Physical] points to withstand the current and barely swam to the surface -

The water is still gushing out.

The water level rose to a height of more than 4 meters in an instant.

The top of the pipe, which had been so high, was now within sight.

If this goes on, they will be washed away sooner or later!

Li Xi couldn't do anything! She watched the mercenaries being swept away by the water in an instant, and all she could do was hold on to Aine tightly.

Aine also choked on the water. She coughed up the water. Perhaps, Li Xi should praise her for not losing consciousness——

However, she could do more than just not lose consciousness.

"Ahem! Rikki, over there! There's also a pipe entrance over there--!"

Aine yelled while choking on the water.

She pointed her finger forward.

There, was the opening of a vent.
