Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

hum!

A violent buzzing sound.

A ball of white light suddenly exploded from a window on the fourth floor of the complex.

Chapter 401 What are you playing?

Dangerous explosion.

Suspicious light.

[Tiger head] person.

Even the hungry refugees lurking deep in the streets, with only their biological instincts left, knew what they should avoid and what they should not avoid.

Surviving in [Comprehensive Area 1] is like a battle royale variety show without a "player stop" button.

You don’t know who’s where or with what weapons. You don’t know how many people are lurking nearby. You don’t even know if the ratings will drop so quickly that the production team will leave without notifying the contestants.

All you can do is live.

Stay alive, find people weaker than you are, and take what's theirs.

Only those who are confident in their own abilities will approach dangerous areas.

However, given that in a dangerous environment, no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot say with absolute confidence that he is "confident in his own abilities"...

Perhaps, only the most greedy people would approach dangerous areas.

Seeing the white light shooting out from the fourth floor of the shopping mall, Xiangzi immediately gave Chuhua a look.

Chu Hua faithfully carried out the order. She picked up Xiangzi and Miao Meng with both hands, and at the same time increased the output of her concentrated muscles.

A slight hum, vibration and white smoke.

Chuhua leaped out.

“Closer at the bottom, or closer at the top?”

Chuhua asked Xiangzi in the howling wind.

"The bottom is near... the bottom is near..."

Miao Meng kept muttering to herself.

It's a shame, though.

“The top is close.”

Xiangzi looked at the terrain and said.

Chuhua nodded.

She held the two of them in her arms and soon arrived outside the complex.

Without giving the people who might be inside a chance to notice someone's visit, Chu Hua jumped up with the two people hanging on his neck, climbing up along the outer wall.

……

【……rustle……】

[Connecting to the channel...]

【FM completed, connected.】

【//Mujina Carnival-Ave Mujica】

【Oblivionis: Confirmed.】

【Doloris: Confirmed.】

【Amoris: ...hiss...confirmed.】

[Oblivionis: [Birdcage], have you connected to the combat team now? The external FM port is lit.]

【Amoris: I am the only one here who needs to prepare myself mentally, right? I have already been connected.】

[Doloris: So this is how it's connected... I don't think there's any special changes?]

【Amoris: It's mainly the changes in the birdcage. We can be seen by Mortis now. From the inside out.】

Mortis: Yes.

【Doloris: Good afternoon, Mortis.】

【Mortis: Good afternoon.】

[Oblivionis: Our interface remains completely unchanged? ]

【Mortis: In some cases, you will see changes.】

[Oblivionis: Under what circumstances? ]

【Mortis: In the case of dying and already dead. 】

【Oblivionis:……】

[Amoris: Oh, there are some other additional functions too.]

Click click click.

Miao Meng typed rapidly on the laptop he carried with him.

then.

"Meow! Execute~"

Xiangzi's perspective suddenly changed.

A green grid-like barcode covered the back of the prosthetic eye, covering the visible space.

In the distance, some black and red holes appeared.

Those holes are slowly leaking out small streams of data.

……

【Amoris: Oh, I got it. The result of converting the [Birdcage] monitoring device outward.】

[Amoris: Highlighted the exposed ports of the [Insect Swarm]... Now the scan can be performed in real time! How is it, not bad? ]

[Oblivionis: ...Haven't you opened it before? When you were on the road.]

[Amoris: This is the first comment! ? ]

[Amoris: The connection with the Birdcage is very computationally demanding. If it's always on, my laptop and my computer will burn out... ah!]

……

Miao Meng's brain wave frequency was very high. Xiangzi even heard her "Ah" before he saw the white light.

Dang——bang!

A beam of white light hit a steel plate some distance away from Xiangzi and splashed in all directions.

[Amoris: Hiss... This area seems to be a bit dangerous? ]

Xiangzi leaned to the side.

The wind from high above blew her golden-blue hair.

She poked her head out from the gap between two pieces of roof interlayer material.

The cold wind is biting.

You can see that right below is the high skylight of the shopping mall.

Xiangzi, Miaomeng and Chuhua are now on the rooftop mezzanine of this shopping mall.

【Oblivionis:……】

Let's check the situation again.

Xiangzi thought about it and removed the high-frequency noise screen at the back edge of his brain-computer.

……

Snap, snap, snap.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

Clatter. Clatter.

Hehehehe——ha——

The sounds of energy weapons firing, kinetic weapons firing, objects being destroyed, pursuits, calls, yelling, and crazy laughter.

The shopping mall was blocked by Tiger Head's thugs.

The inside of the mall has turned into a chaotic hunting ground.

The refugees were thrown down the stairs and fell heavily to the ground. Their prosthetic bodies shattered, their limbs twisted, and then they were thrown back up high.

"Shoot! Shoot!"

[Tiger Head]'s thugs stood in the courtyard, laughing.

The leader was a thug with nails stuck in his cheeks and holding a strange gun.

The gun looked like a grenade launcher.

The artificial eye scanned the temporary mark of [BCPD]. However, it did not scan any BCPD weapon inventory data for this gun, only showing [self-developed product].

The thug pulled the trigger.

Ouch!

White light burst out from the muzzle, the edge of the muzzle, and certain parts of the gun body. Arcs of light splashed and bounced around in the atrium.

The refugees were hit by the dazzling white light. The burning pain made them scream, get up from the ground, fight back, and run deeper into the shopping mall.

Some of the refugees fought back, firing bullets at these crazy thugs, piercing their prosthetic bodies.

“Gah—hahahaha!”

But it is obvious that the mentalities of these thugs are not very stable - or perhaps, after being locked up in such a place for 4 months, no one can remain stable.

The thugs laughed, moved, and fired.

The blinding effect caused by the white light caused the refugees to completely miss their target.

One of the thugs can be heard saying, "Come on! Come on! This BCPD's big toy is really something!"

I also heard someone say: "Isn't it to test the usage?..."

But his voice was drowned out by the loud laughter of others.

Chapter 402: Some Thoughts

The interior of the shopping mall is dominated by a frenetic atmosphere.

The attackers didn't care about their injuries. Their hands, feet, kinetic external parts and cyber transformation devices were damaged by the counterattack, but they still laughed wildly, roughly stuffed the exposed pipes and cables back with their hands, and continued to attack.

The attacked seemed to be in a more serious situation. However, they never gave up fighting back, trying to seize even the slightest opportunity.

And it wasn't just the attackers who were laughing.

The expressions of many of the attacked victims were distorted by pain, excitement and excessive adrenaline injection, and they looked like they were laughing.

This is a battle between attackers and the attacked, with both sides caught in a frenzy of hunting.

【Amoris: Hiss…】

Miao Meng looked at this scene and took a breath.

Chu Hua's face was also gloomy. However, she was obviously more accustomed to this kind of scene than Miao Meng.

[Doloris: Is that gun one of the "secret weapons" of the BCPD's "scramblers"? ]

Chu Hua looked at Tiger Head's thugs, paying attention to the target items in their hands.
