Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Page 386

Xiangzi wanted to say that it was not a big deal if her head was burned, but her two subordinates had dealt with the enemy simply and directly.

Getting rid of the enemy is of course a good thing, but...

Still the same problem.

Too many enemies to deal with.

This made Xiangzi, who was used to fighting the majority with the minority and the strong with the weak, pause for a moment.

"(I need to change my mindset in the future.)"

There is no one left on the enemy side.

Logically, the next step would be to move forward, open the blast door, and capture the member of the “attackers” who was carrying the “secret weapon.”

but……

The RAS hasn't hit us yet!

"..."

Without his enemies, Xiangzi now has two choices.

One is to catch the member of the "Stormers" and subdue him in this room.

However, this "porch" is too narrow.

If a battle were to start here, the noise would attract the attention of RAS, which would rush in directly. The five people from Ave Mujica would probably be trapped by the inrushing engineering machinery, or even suffer more serious injuries.

One is to chase into the subway base of the "attacker" and subdue him in the subway base.

However, the metro base is already "inside".

After entering, when RAS collides in, Ave Mujica will become a member also on the battlefield, easily attracting attention.

“(I feel that no matter which solution is chosen, it is still a step away from the ‘best solution.’)”

Chapter 381: Conduct some emotional communication

"(Fortunately, a GPS location has been placed on this member of the "attack team.")"

Xiangzi thought.

In short, ensure the success rate through more external means first.

The members of this "striker" group had originally received orders to evacuate.

As the battle was fierce inside the "Subway Base" and he was obviously defeated, his next move was definitely to run upwards to [Comprehensive Area 1].

With GPS positioning, believers can wait and catch this person.

There are many methods after all.

【Oblivionis: Let the believers approach this area. 】

Xiangzi gave orders in his brain computer to let the believers come closer for subsequent arrest.

The next step is to ensure the moment when RAS hits.

Want to make sure they crash into the subway base... How to attract attention without exchanging fire...

Just as Xiangzi was thinking about this.

Suddenly, the entrance and exit grid leading to the pipe behind her moved.

Of course, this movement was quickly stopped by Miao Meng's hacker attack.

Xiangzi looked back at the grid.

Then she looked ahead, behind the huge explosion-proof glass.

Xiangzi saw a BCPD officer jump into the hacker workstation from the side and pull the lever of the control grid again.

Xiangzi saw the policeman's face.

The two men's eyes met.

Xiangzi opened his eyes slightly.

Then she smiled.

……

thick smoke.

The burning chemical textiles have a noxious, pungent odor.

Deep inside the mouth and nose, there was the salty smell of gunpowder powder, pneumatic hemostatic agents, and blood.

"Ahem."

BCPD officer Riki Shiina was coughing and half-kneeling beside the workbench.

The situation is very bad.

"(RAS...)"

Members of the gang band RAS broke into the subway base of the BCPD "Stormers" along the way.

Yamagishi chose to locate the base in a narrow, long, and unused subway station that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Originally, it was for the sake of concealment:

He didn't want the BCPD commander-in-chief to find out what was going on underground.

The commander-in-chief is just a pig that eats and sleeps.

But even a pig would make a fuss if it found out someone was secretly interfering in its duties.

Now, this location has played another role.

The RAS broke in. The other defenders of the "Attackers" were pinned down by the refugees. The defenders who stayed in the subway base had to blow up the subway tunnels several times to block the roads leading to the depths, and they were able to hold on until now...

“(…Damn it. How could the defenders of the ‘Surpasser’ be held back by the refugees!?)”

Li Xi is the person in charge of [Linear Frame Ω].

When the battle with the refugees just started, she was the main force left behind.

When the RAS attacked with overwhelming force and it seemed that it was difficult to hold the city, she and four other [Linear Framework Ω] personnel were assigned the task of "retreating and taking away the secret weapon."

Li Xi didn't understand what was happening above.

She couldn't understand it just by imagining it underground.

How did those refugees, whose equipment and organizational strength could not be compared with those of the BCPD's "stormers", kill more than a hundred BCPD "stormers"?

“(Is this also the RAS plan?)”

RAS...is it a gang band of this style?

Li Xi only knew that they liked to develop industries, and through marketing, packaging and real talents, they took large amounts of money from people's pockets in exchange for emotional value, and then used this money to build up a block called "strength".

If there is one band or gang in this capital city that most respects the power of money, it would be RAS.

RAS prefers to use force to defeat skill.

Technology? Tactics? Talent?

It’s all about not having enough money.

If you can't beat them, go make money.

Earn more money.

Then they spend money to poach more capable people, spend money to buy better equipment, inject funds into R&D institutions, and develop the most advanced technology.

Li Xi has been interning at BCPD for several years, and all the RAS he has heard of behave in this way.

Lixi has never heard of RAS using too many or too complicated tactics.

For example, luring refugees, setting traps, pretending to be strong...

but……

"(Damn, that's [seven bands]!)"

How can an outsider understand the full picture of their true intentions and thoughts?

For them, changing styles must be very easy!

Li Xi pulled hard the lever of the external control [Material Buffer·Access Entrance] grid of the hacker workbench.

Can't pull.

The lever was clearly stuck.

“——Shit——”

After being assigned the task of "retreating and taking away secret weapons" with four other [Linear Framework Ω] personnel, Li Xi originally planned to evacuate with the four.

But things sometimes change.

The RAS blasted a blocked passage, and Li Xi had to stay at the end of the team and fight together with the BCPD "striker" on the defensive line.

She didn't know why, the "big shot" of RAS, CHU^2, known as the "little revolutionary", was able to drive the "Agricultural and Industrial M5" full of "insect swarms".

When the huge bucket pushed in from the ruins, Lixi almost thought he was going to die there.

Fortunately, RAS suddenly gave up the plan to enter from the narrow spot that [Agricultural and Industrial M5] could not pass through.

CHU^2 seemed to notice something.

[Agricultural and Industrial M5] backed up and turned the car around.

Lixi was able to leave.

She chased after the rest of her team and learned over the radio that three of them had gone into the storage area to search for something, with one assisting at a hacker's workbench outside.

But what comes next is an even bigger crisis.

Three team members in the storage area were attacked.

"(RAS even came to the storage area!?)"

The two team members inside fell down in an instant.

The remaining member of the team was also chased by the enemy.

Without giving people time to catch their breath, the headphones began to emit noises of external team members losing contact and being disconnected.

Li Xi was already covered in cold sweat.

Such a short time.

Such a fast speed.

Is this the offensive of [Seven Bands]?

It's impossible to resist at all!

In front, there was only one teammate left running away.
