Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Jiangkou thought.

Just now, the report also said that grenades were used on the east side, killing two enemies below and seriously injuring one...

"..."

There are three of us.

There are also three enemies?

This coincidence made Jiangkou look outside one more time.

He looked at the enemy who had just been shot dead in the head by him during the exchange of fire.

The enemy fell to the ground... in the shadows... Jiangguchi risked focusing and brightening his artificial eye...

then.

Eguchi saw the BCPD uniforms.

And the other person's stiff, dull, but somewhat familiar face.

"—"

at the same time.

East staircase.

"…Hey! What's going on? That's the BCPD's standard hand grenade—"

The members of Team D also discovered something strange after the initial encounter!

The people they were fighting with were not refugees...

...are members of other teams!

Two battlefields.

Four groups of people.

Surprisingly, none of the groups were refugees——

I'm afraid that at the beginning, if we stir up trouble in the passages on both sides, we will make them misunderstand that the people in front of them are enemies or refugees!

Under the misleading guidance of these refugees...

The front half of Team C outflanked the back half of Team D from behind.

The front half of Team D then surrounded the back half of Team C from behind.

Both sides attacked their own people!

After the initial misunderstanding, the "attackers" were engaged in a firefight with their own people from beginning to end!

Chapter 373 Read but not reply

[//"Attack" C Team]

[Captain Jiangguchi: Wait - that's not right -]

……

[//"Attack" Detachment D]

[Captain Ishida: There is something wrong here! ]

……

The two captains realized almost at the same time that they were "fighting with their own people"!

They wanted to retreat—at least, to reunite and sort out the situation—

at this time.

Footsteps were heard from deep inside the ninth and sixth floors.

The refugees emerged from the darkness.

Unlike when they first escaped here, they became very orderly, holding guns and weapons in good condition.

They appeared before the "Striker" Teams C and D, who had been forced into scattered groups and whose strength and ammunition had been exhausted by the civil war.

Among them, Jiangkou from Team C on the ninth floor saw in despair that in front of the refugees surrounding him was the masked female refugee whom he had not been able to capture just now.

The previous capture and subsequent shooting should have clearly hit the opponent.

However, the other party now looked completely fine, smiling and walking lightly.

...This is...the leader of the refugees, huh...

Possessing extraordinary strength, he led a group of rabble who had climbed up from the bottom of society and fearlessly resisted the official forces...

It's just... like...

"...Music...Band Gang...The...[Eighth]..."

This seems to be the first time that female refugees have been referred to as such.

She opened her eyes slightly, then smiled, holding the knife in her hand.

【Amoris: Oh! 】

【Amoris: Mortis freed up some of the channel bandwidth. 】

[Amoris: Looks like Oblivionis is also over~]

[Amoris: Physiological signs are coming! Oh, and there are reports! ]

[Amoris: Team C and Team D of the "Attackers" were completely wiped out. No believers were injured. Bullet and grenade consumption: low. Successfully eliminated. Combat supplies recovered: high.]

[Amoris: Oblivionis's personal situation: Kicks and bruises. Two bullet wounds, caused by ricochets... within the controllable range...]

[Amoris: My fighting power is intact, but I am injured. Wow.]

[Amoris: Hey, in binary terms, is Oblivionis injured or not? ]

【Timoris: Binary Master, please answer. 】

【Amoris: Hmm... no injuries! 】

【Timoris: My intuition tells me that Oblivionis thinks the same way.】

[Oblivionis: Emergency report. While confirming physiological signs, a BCPD officer who was pretending to be dead jumped out of the window on the east side of the sixth floor staircase to escape.]

[Amoris: Wow! Oblivionis, you're back! ? ]

[Oblivionis: Doloris, Mortis, pay attention to confirm this person. His reunion is a distraction opportunity. ]

【Doloris: Got it.】

【Mortis: Got it.】

【Amoris: ...So you're all here? 】

……

Squeezing through the narrow window, Ishida, the captain of the "Attack" D team, jumped from the sixth floor and landed heavily on the concrete floor.

The prosthetic foot broke on the spot. The alloy steel frame broke. Engine oil seeped out from the ankle, and the cross section of the connecting wire burned the stabilizing layer under the synthetic skin.

But he escaped.

The refugees completely took advantage of us.

He was the only one left from the two "Striker" teams, Team C and Team D.

……No.

The second and third floors were quiet, with no movement at all.

Team A and Team B, who were supposed to be there, did not try to move to the stairs where they could confirm the situation because of the loud noise he made when he fell.

I'm afraid that Team A and Team B are gone too.

When they first broke into the protein factory, Ishida, like all the members of the "Attack" team, firmly believed that clearing out the refugees was just a matter of raising his hand.

After getting rid of this small group of rats, they will be able to advance into the [Infrastructure Area], recapture it, return to the main city, return to the BCPD headquarters, and rise...

But how could this happen?

The power of the "attackers" was completely wiped out by this "small group" of refugees -?

Damn, damn, it hurts, damn, damn these homeless people, social garbage, maggots, and rats.

Ishita cursed and pumped himself with adrenaline.

Type it in again.

In the artificial eye, the indicators have reached a level almost as if the internal circulation pump has broken down.

Forget about getting rid of the rats now.

He himself was almost bitten to death by rats.

All Ishida could do was to save his own life.

"—!"

Ishida supported himself on his legs and ran forward to ask for help from the surrounding defenders.

The guards around seemed to have gone through several stages of evacuation. At this moment, there was no one left at the original defense line.

However, the silver lining is that Ishida is the captain of Team D.

He was in charge of monitoring the ninth floor. It was also he who saw the direction in which the external defenders retreated.

Just run in that direction...

"—!"

really.

Going around the factory fence, Ishida saw the defenders who were originally stationed closer in front of him.

They formed a front line, and within the front line were police cars with their armored vehicles already deployed.

Very good……!

The defenders haven't gone far!

Ishida, who was in a state of panic, immediately joined up with his own people.

"Something happened at the protein factory!"

He ran towards the defenders, shouting.

The defenders turned around suddenly and pointed their guns at Ishida.

The IFF software was working fine. They didn't fire.

"We need a—"

Ishita immediately said to the men.

however.

“It’s coming from the back!”

The defenders who came face to face with Ishida shouted loudly.

He didn't use the brain-computer communication channel, but shouted.

This made Ishida, who had escaped here narrowly, suddenly have a bad premonition.

"Has the support not arrived yet?"

In front, the defenders closer to the front line shouted loudly.

"No! This came from the protein factory!"

"Damn it! I told you! We need support - when will the reinforcements arrive?!"
