Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

The sound of maintenance was heard slowly and steadily.

Crunch, crunch. Ta-da.

Gradually, the sound of footsteps mixed in.

There were footsteps approaching.

Lixi took his eyes off the [gorilla's arm] and raised his head.

Chapter 342: The Rebellious Army is Afraid of Being Suppressed

"Officer Shiina, you have returned. Earlier than I thought."

The person who appeared in front of Li Xi was the bespectacled Officer Yamagishi.

"Thank you for your hard work." He looked at Li Xi with approval and said, "I didn't expect you to bring in the crawler excavator. We have been thinking about this for many days, but we are still short of people with enough [Flesh] points. You have helped us a lot."

Li Xi glanced at him.

"It's nothing." She said, "My [body] is still one hour away from arriving at [Extraordinary], and it took quite some time to transport it."

"Don't say that. Thanks to your participation, the situation is improving," Officer Yamagishi said. "When I went to check today, the composition of the dust near the subway station had changed."

He pushed up his glasses and said, "In the past, I might have believed that it was the influence of the wind. But it is definitely not the case now. The refugees must have come here to take a look."

"Our [mousetrap] will definitely work well," he added.

"I hope so." Lixi said.

Click, click. Yamagishi walked deeper into the subway station. His leather shoes made a sound as they stepped on the subway floor.

“Finally…finally,” Yamagishi said, “It’s been three months. Finally, I see hope of completion.”

He tapped the side of his glasses.

The linkage is open.

Lights came on beneath the subway tracks.

Under the white maintenance light, a [Linear Frame Ω] kneels on the unused subway track.

Black housing, stainless steel connectors.

This is exactly the same as the [Linear Frame Ω] that broke into the subway track under the aquarium during the [Reclamation New Land Blockade] battle.

The damage to this [Linear Frame Ω] is quite serious.

One of the legs of the machine was broken.

The head was shattered into powder.

There was a big hole on the belly, revealing one side of the kinetic energy wiring.

The hands are the most serious.

Both of Linear FrameΩ's hands disappeared. There were signs of fractures at the wrists. They were destroyed so thoroughly that not a single wreckage was left. Considering Linear FrameΩ's hard exterior, this was something that was hard to imagine.

"RAS stuff." Yamagishi looked at the [Linear Frame Ω] kneeling on the track and said, "Band, haha. The band always has better equipment than us official ones."

There are maintenance brackets on both sides of the [Linear Frame Ω]. It can be seen that it is being repaired.

The progress of the repairs was not fast. However, Yamagishi seemed satisfied. He walked back and forth on the empty platform, admiring the [Linear Frame Ω].

"Officer Shiina, you know what? Life is completely unpredictable and ever-changing."

Yamagishi was talking to Riki, but it was more like he was talking to himself.

"Who could have thought? When I found myself being charged with 'improper management of the armory, resulting in death' for the children of the NCOs in the same squadron, and was sent to the [Reclamation New Land Phase 2] to participate in the first assault, I thought I was done for."

"But I didn't expect that I would become one of the 73% outside the 27% death rate."

"I never expected that securing the dangerous underground waterway would lead me to find this good thing in the waterway."

Yamagishi looked at the [Linear Frame Ω].

"It fell into a deep waterway and was severely damaged. The driver evacuated the vehicle immediately when the situation occurred... In the end, I found it."

A gleam of joy shone from behind Yamagishi's glasses.

“That’s the hope,” he said. “I’m going all in on it.”

"It's all thanks to it that people like you who are dissatisfied with the current BCPD [Reclamation New Land Phase 2] commander can be persuaded by me and gather here..."

"Once it is repaired, what about the refugee group in the [Infrastructure Area]? The mercenary society in [Comprehensive Area 1]? The crazy robots in [Comprehensive Area 2]?"

"Those things are not worth mentioning at all."

"This machine can take down everything around here. By then, our achievements will be enough for us to return to the BCPD headquarters. No, we will be given a higher position than before..."

"..."

Li Xi didn't turn around.

She turned her back to Yamagishi and the Linear Frame Ω, tapping her Gorilla Arm and listening to Yamagishi pacing.

After a while, she said behind my back:

"Even if it's repaired, it'll still take [Physical Body: 16] to control it."

"Yes." Yamagishi said, "We don't have anyone with [Physical Body: 16] here. However, my technicians are trying to lower its [Attribute Point] requirement so that it can be temporarily controlled by someone with a lower point by shortening the time and increasing the load."

Yamagishi looked at the [Linear Frame Ω] and said, "We just need to prepare enough pilots and have them take turns to solve this problem completely."

"...shorten the time, increase the load, and reduce the point requirements..." Li Xi whispered.

"What's wrong?" Yamagishi noticed Riki's confusion and asked.

"Nothing." Li Xi said, "It's just that an acquaintance of mine used advanced prosthetics in this way before."

Yamagishi glanced at Riki.

Li Xi didn't want to continue talking about this topic.

She asked instead: "How many people are there now who can fly it?"

Yamagishi glanced at the side of his artificial eye and said, "With your joining, we now have five pilots with a [Physical Body: 10] or higher."

“Five…”

Li Xi frowned slightly.

"What happened to the five?" Yamagishi asked.

"No." Lixi said, "It's just that I used to have a team of five people."

"The BCPD team?"

"No. Anyway, there is no contact now. Because..."

The knocking sound of metal stopped. Li Xi's hand that was hitting the [gorilla's arm] stopped.

"…something."

Lixi said.

She swung the wrench again. The sound came again.

Li Xi didn't intend to continue.

Yamagishi withdrew his gaze from the back and once again focused on the [Linear Frame Ω] on which he had put so much effort.

"We have enough drivers and modification plans... now we just lack the materials," said Yamagishi.

"I have been observing the nomads for a long time. They occupied the [Infrastructure Zone] and scavenged a large number of parts in that area. Every once in a while, they would upgrade the weapons of the frontline fighters."

"If we want a large amount of materials sufficient to repair this [Linear Frame Ω], conquering these nomads is the best option..."

"...and the best way to conquer this temporary gathering of vagrants is to kill their leader."

Yamagishi folded his arms in satisfaction and said:

"Thanks to the robots you carried and the damaged parts, we have successfully used the refugees who escaped as bait."

"The 'rats' will come in and eat them."

He looked confident about it.

Chapter 343 Robot Bowling

Reclamation New Land Phase 2.

Ave Mujica controls the territory, infrastructure area.

It was early morning.

"Click" and "bang" sounds were heard near the defense line made of rebar and plate steel that separates the infrastructure area from the surrounding land.

Someone is behind the defense line.

This has not been an uncommon occurrence over the past few days.

Since the members of Team J lost contact after going out for an infiltration operation, Ave Mujica sent out a new team to explore, and later, several leaders also went out personally to explore.

but……

Today, something is a little different.

Because today, the defense line where the sound came from was not the defense line on the west side bordering the [Food, Fuel, and Processed Products Area] defended by BCPD.

But on the north side, at the defense line bordering [Integrated Area 2] which is filled with out-of-control urban construction robots.

intersection.

Boom—pop!

An orange-yellow urban construction robot half the height of a person flew out from the intersection.

It crashed along the street, its metal wheels sending sparks flying on the ground. It moved forward, tumbling, bouncing on the ground, and finally crossing the street -

Bang—crash!

It crashed into several other city construction robots that were passing by in the distance and had just detected the sound signal and were about to dodge.

The metal limbs and the round shell squeezed and collided with each other.

【Contact alarm! Contact alarm! 】

The robots screamed in electronic voices, extended guns from the joints of their necks and hands, tried to move the limbs that were stuck on each other, and crawled on the ground.

"……call."

rear.

Chu Hua looked at the scene at the end of the street, let out a long sigh, and moved his right wrist which had just thrown out the robot.

"All down~" Miao Meng, who was sitting on the steel behind Chu Hua, snapped his fingers, "It's like a professional bowler's shot~"

"Uh, thank you." Chu Hua responded to Miao Meng, then turned his head to the other side and asked, "How is the high-output prosthetic contact?"

"There is no sign of a [Zerg] hack."

In the direction Chuhua was looking, Mu was sitting between Xiangzi and Hailing, tapping on his laptop and talking.

"It seems that if we really want to fight, we can do so."

Hai Ling said.

She stood up, jumped down from Mu, and looked at the stacked robots from a different angle.

Xiangzi still sat in his old seat, tapping his chin.

Team J is trapped underground infested with city-building robots.

Ave Mujica needed a way to recycle them.

Originally, this solution was not difficult to think of.

But after confirming that the J team's entrapment was a BCPD conspiracy, more complex factors had to be considered when formulating a plan.

There is a trap ahead.
