6. The Birth of a Soldier (Part I)
Cyber had a good night's sleep, there was so much going on lately that he needed to soothe his nerves, he was woken up by the sound of a text message from his phone.
When he saw the four words from Kevin, all of Cyber's sleepiness disappeared, and he got up quickly, but not because of the pressure caused by these four words, but because he had to put himself in a state of imminent battle from now on.
In other words, it's time to start regaining the highly sensitive mental state that once performed the mission.
It's 10:43 a.m., he still has 1 hour left, and the renovation worker Bruce is looking for won't arrive at the store until the afternoon, when he has to find a new place to live, this is Daddy's home after all, although Daddy won't drive him away, but he doesn't want to stay with Daddy all the time, he's a troublemaker, things will keep coming to him, but he can't bother the old man.
More importantly, if you want to fight, you must choose a good battlefield, an ordinary house is not good, and when facing a siege by many people, he must have a safe place to rest.
It's hard to find a place like this, but when he was freshening up, he remembered a good place, Jamie, the boss of the docks, had left 2 days ago, his forces had collapsed, his villa was repaired to suit Cyber's appetite, and the place was built in the depths of the docklands, and Jamie spent a lot of effort to keep him and his brother safe, and Cyber was able to break into it because his subordinates were too scummy.
With more than 15 well-trained men at all points of the villa, it would be difficult for the opponent to penetrate it with sufficient weapons and ammunition and without the use of heavy firepower. The most important thing is that the place is not too far from the bar, just a car is needed and you can get there in 10 minutes.
The perfect safe house and hiding place, where the "cuties" sent by the Wayne family can also be placed.
"It's decided, it's there!"
Cyber calculated that if he could get the Wayne family to help, he might be able to buy it at a very low price, and use Jamie's money to buy Jamie's house, this feeling is simply... That's great.
Humming a song, he bit off a third of the big red sausage that he had just taken out of the refrigerator in his hand, and while chewing, he stretched his waist and carried a bag of garbage in his hand, opened the back door of the bar, ready to throw out the garbage, only to see the man lying in the doorway, covered in blood.
Cyber's chewing action stopped, he squinted his eyes and looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was watching, he threw the garbage in his hand aside, changed the food to his right hand, grabbed it with his left hand, and dragged the unconscious guy into the house with his collar.
Kevin, this kid, when he saw his miserable appearance, Cyber knew that this guy was exposed, but as long as his life was still alive, it was fine.
After all, it's a bit embarrassing to fight alone, no matter how strong he is, he can't do the work of 15 people, Robin can be his best assistant, that guy's beyond ordinary people's perception will make him the best fighter, but unfortunately, the unlucky guy is still in Star City, so he can only retreat to the next best thing and find a less bad assistant.
It doesn't matter if you can fight or not, the most important thing is to have a strong enough will, not to be a coward.
Kevin is alone, which means that his good brother Ed is either dead, or captured, or betrayed, which is good, and that's appropriate.
Anger destroys a person, but if used well, it will make him invincible before it destroys him!
Cyber looked at Kevin, who had passed out, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
He picked up his phone, pressed a number, and put it to his ear,
"Hi Alfred, it's me... Yes, I have something I need your help with, I'm going to buy a house in the docklands... No, no, no, I don't need you to spend money, I just want you to help find some connections... Well, the sooner the better! It's on the edge of Seventh Avenue just south of the Docklands... Yes, what I want is also delivered there ... Wow, you don't look like an old man in his sixties... No, no, it's definitely a compliment! I swear by my father's name. ”
After a few moments, he closed his phone, the house was done, he paid for it, he could live in it this afternoon, the place had been put up for sale, and Alfred promised to get the equipment he needed to the villa this afternoon, the good news made Cyber whistle.
It seems that Wayne's side is also in a hurry, the enemy is now, their choice is really as Cyber imagined, which is good!
But when he saw the miserable Kevin, whose face was covered in blood, he bared his teeth again, turned around and walked into Robin's room with ease, and came out with two sets of clothes.
Hell he's got to deal with it!
Ten minutes later, Cyber carried the unconscious Kevin out of the bar, not because he couldn't wake him up, but after experiencing an unimaginable encounter for ordinary people, the coma is a kind of physical instinct to prevent the collapse of the line, this young man needs a good rest, Cyber is still very experienced in this regard.
Although he knew that the opponent was coming, he was not very anxious, Wayne and Bruce were in front, although he didn't know the story between Bruce and the Shadow Warrior, but it was certain that most of their power would be used to attack the Wayne family.
Cyber drove to Jamie's villa, where the real estate agent had already called him and it was time for him to pick up his new house.
Needless to say, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Cyber officially became the owner of the elaborate villa, and less than five minutes after the shrewd real estate manager left, the man sent by Alfred arrived.
Cyber heard a low whistle, he looked out the window, good guy, a black pickup truck specially used for delivery was parked at the door of the garage, which couldn't help but make Cyber rub his hands, it seems, Alfred's former mercenary, this time it is really bloody.
"Click"
With the opening of the garage door, the black pickup truck drove into the rather wide but empty garage, and four capable people jumped out of the driver's seat, opened the compartment without saying a word, and carried down the two dozen green wooden boxes and placed them in the depths of the garage.
Cyber didn't talk to them either, these 4 people all had short hair, and they looked like a fierce military style, but they looked very loose in the details, chewing gum, smoking, and grinning, but each of them had a special bulge on their waists, which was obviously equipped with weapons.
Cyber saw their roots and identities at a glance, this is clearly four mercenaries, it seems that Alfred is back to his old business, but think about it, if the battle really takes place in this city, it will definitely not work to rely on those rotten police, and the National Guard is too troublesome to mobilize, and mercenaries who are good at fighting in various environments are definitely the best choice.
The process of unloading took more than ten minutes, and after the last rattling bullet was placed, the guy with the black baseball cap took out a gilded invitation from his arms, handed it to Cyber, and then got into the car and left quickly.
Cyber opened the invitation and looked at it, then pouted and shook his head, tossing it aside.
"Bruce's head is broken, and I'm really dizzy to have a birthday party at this time..."
He complained as he casually opened the box in his hand, which contained a brand-new shoulder-resistant rocket launcher, and 10 rockets in the alley next to it, which was a devastating weapon in the city's street fighting, with a cold glow on its black exterior.
Sebo whistled in satisfaction, he liked it, and if he could take out his opponent at 1000 meters, a fool would rush up to them in close combat.
"When the crisis comes, only these things can give us a sense of security, when human beings were born of civilization, the first thing made of metal was the sword, you see, this bloodline advocating violence has accompanied the progress of the entire civilization to the present, who dares to say that it is useless?"
Cyber opened another box full of emotion, took out a military version of the M16 from it, loaded the magazine with a click, made a standard aiming stance, and then turned his head to look at the young man who staggered into the garage, grinning at him,
"Do you think I'm right? Kevin. ”
"I... I do not know. ”
Kevin's dislocated left arm had been picked up by Cyber, and the guy was lucky enough to have only suffered skin injuries during the grappling, and his coma was not caused by excessive blood loss, but from a heavy mental blow.
Not satisfied with this answer, Cyber took the cold firearm in one hand, and with the other hand pulled out a palm-sized green gadget with regular dents from the box at hand, tossed it up and down in his hand, and walked to Kevin, who was leaning against the wall with his hands on his shoulders.
He was standing 5 meters away from him, and Kevin was a little taller, but when the two made eye contact, one was apathetic, the other was flustered and desperate.
"Hey... Look me in the eye, Kevin!"
The young man raised his head, he took a deep breath, and the light in his eyes stabilized a little,
"Ed is dead... He died to protect me..."
The first sentence came out, tears were left on the bloody face, you can't expect a man with a normal sexual orientation to be too focused when cleaning another man's skin, in short, Kevin's tense emotions unexpectedly felt like he had found a sense of support after seeing the originally annoying Cyber.
The instinctive respect of the weak for the strong, and the instinctive perception of seeking refuge.
He cried and trembled,
"I fought against that killer, I was no match at all, I was about to be killed by him, Ed sneaked up on him from behind, he told me to run, I'm a coward... Oh my God, I'm a coward!"
He grabbed his hair and crouched down in pain, his voice choked,
"I ran, if I didn't run, Ed wouldn't have died, he didn't fail me, but I failed him... Oh my God, brother who grew up together, I failed him... I'm a coward. ”
Cyber held the cold cylindrical object in his hand, he looked at Kevin who was crouching there, he let out a long breath, he asked,
"But I don't see your anger, I only see your self-blame, you see, people are actually a very strange creature, in the face of things that can no longer be changed, we often tell ourselves: I can't do it!"
Cyber stretched out a finger and shook it in front of his eyes,
"You tell yourself that you killed Ed, but maybe after a while, you'll think, I can't save him, because I can't! After a while, you'll be comfortable telling yourself, yes, I can't, so Ed died miserably, I'm sad, but... I can't, and who is to blame for that. ”
Like an indifferent bastard, Cyber mocked Kevin in front of him mercilessly,
"I've seen a lot of people like you, and I understand the anger and self-blame in your heart, and this irrepressible pain has been entangled in your heart until your guilt for the person who died for you has been transformed into a toxin flowing in your blood! Existed!"
A strange smile appeared on Cyber's face,
"Because that's the only way you can make the pain of fate disappear completely, and you will do it, I know. ”
"I won't! I'll avenge him! That's what I'm here for!"
Kevin's red eyes and arms were outstretched, and he yelled at Cyber, he felt that this bastard in front of him was desecrating his brotherly friendship with Ed, but he seemed to be desperately fighting against something, maybe, what Cyber said... It's true.
In the face of Kevin's anger, Cyber shrugged,
"Hey, dude, I never believed in words, that's the weakest thing, you said you would avenge Ed? ”
