Chapter 64: Robbed
Late at night.
Tang Yu was already ready to set off for a night run and changed into sportswear at home.
A pure black hooded sweatshirt with black woolen elastic pants makes it comfortable and convenient to exercise.
On the sleeves and sides of the trouser legs, white fluorescent lines are printed to increase visibility at night and prevent accidental collisions by vehicles.
Copy the pistol again, check the full magazine, chamber and firing pin safety, and put the gun into the waist after confirming that it is correct.
He wore black-rimmed glasses from Dragon Fist, so he had to pair them with earbud Bluetooth headphones.
Finally, I poured a cup of cold white in the kitchen, and after a few sips of it, I put down the cup and set off.
Tang Yu has been running and exercising at night for several days, and his body has basically adapted to the rhythm of running.
When I ran to the seawall fence again, I was no longer panting as before, but my breathing was a little heavy, and some fine beads of sweat were hot on my forehead.
At night, the sea breeze is cool, not as hot and humid as during the day, and there are few people around, so you can run as you like.
Tang Yu leaned against the railing, relaxed for a moment to breathe, and felt a little thirsty in his throat.
I turned around and looked around, looking for a nearby convenience store or a vending machine, and wanted to buy a bottle of water to quench my thirst.
Soon.
Tang Yu found that not far ahead, there was a supermarket and a pharmacy that were open, so he got up and walked.
When he walked to the door, he saw some vehicles parked in front of the supermarket, scattered.
Someone is pushing a shopping cart and moving things into the trunk of the vehicle.
Because the supermarket is located on a downhill slope, the shopping cart will automatically slide down after being pushed to the road.
Tang Yu noticed a lame middle-aged man, leaning against a large shopping cart with his body, the crate was full of large bags of paper towels, semi-processed fast food, and so on.
The lame middle-aged man struggled to pick up a case of beer and put it in the trunk.
The old left arm prosthesis is stamped with the word 'Militech', which seems to be not very sensitive, and the whole process seems to be very difficult.
There was also an old woman sitting in the passenger seat of the car, with gray hair, who came out and told the middle-aged man to be careful.
When I go out to buy things late at night, I basically buy essential household supplies, which should be purchased by the supermarket after purchasing medicines.
In the surrounding green belt, some street walkers squatted and smoked, staring at the crowds of shoppers with malicious intent.
The frail lame man, in particular, seemed to have caught their attention.
On the streets of Night City, it's not uncommon to see lame men.
Most of them are disabled veterans who participated in the war, and it is difficult for them to find a way to survive after retirement, and they live a hard life at the bottom.
Not everyone can be like Johnny, who has a musical talent and is disabled and discharged from the army to become a rock star.
Tang Yu stepped forward and helped the lame man hold on to the large shopping cart, and then stretched out his foot and stuck it on the rear wheel of the cart to prevent it from slipping.
Then free your hand and put the goods in the crate into the trunk one by one, neatly.
It's done in a moment.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised by Tang Yu's help, so he immediately tore open the newly sealed box and took out a bottle of beer and handed it over.
"Thanks"
Tang Yu put away the goods, closed the trunk, and took the beer.
"On which battlefield?"
"Six years ago, in the all-metal war, a high fuel bomb from Arasaka directly roasted the whole leg, and I really regret that I didn't cut a piece and taste it at that time"
"Why didn't I get a leg prosthetic, military technology should be provided for free"
The lame man shrugged helplessly, leaned against the back of the car and said, "I don't want to become a cyber maniac yet, after all, the old mother is still alive"
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked back.
Tang Yu's index finger snapped open the pull tab of the beer bottle, and the afterglow scanned the surroundings, and the fierce eyes of the street slippers were falling on this side.
He didn't care about these little things, and took a sip of beer made from genetic grains, which didn't taste good.
"Okay, go back early, take care of the old lady, I will use the shopping cart"
Tang Yu moved the shopping cart aside, and watched the middle-aged man limp back to the driver's seat.
After the lame man got into the car, he stuck the beer out of the window and laughed and cursed.
"Grass Fuck Company !!"
A foot on the throttle flew away.
Tang Yu shook his head helplessly, ready to drag the shopping cart into the supermarket to buy water.
But before he could start, the shopping cart was kicked off, and this kick came a little suddenly.
The large cart slid some distance up the slope, hit the edge of the green belt, and came to a stop.
Tang Yu looked at each other slightly, his face calm.
A black imp with dirty pigtails, after kicking the shopping cart, shook himself in place, walked back and forth a few steps, and looked very dissatisfied.
"Heh, how can there be such good people in Night City?"
Tang Yu wasn't quite sure if the appearance of this group of street slickers was accidental, or if someone specially arranged it.
He opened the 'Dragon Fist' and scanned it, and the information of several street runners around him popped up.
Lao Wei previously opened a module in the smart glasses, which can read part of the NPCD personnel files through the back door of the program.
Among them is the information of criminals, these people are really in the file, and they are all gangsters who have a criminal record in the NCPD.
There is also a special one, wearing a special light-emitting mask, which can interfere with the scanning signal and cannot read the identity information.
Wandering around in the middle of the night, wearing a glowing mask, looking for a target, Tang Yu almost immediately thought of the scavenger.
It's just that he doesn't have a high-level prosthetic body, so it's unlikely that he will attract the attention of the scavenger.
Although Ga waist is one of the scavenger businesses, it can only be regarded as a low-end business, and most of them are still aimed at the rich and those high-end prosthetics.
The Qianxin pistol that Tang Yu used for self-defense was enough to kill several of them.
Or call the Arasaka special service team, only need to delay for a while, and within five minutes this group of thugs will definitely die.
You can also choose to use the 'Dragon Fist' hacker module to hack into the opponent's cheap brain supplement neural operating system, and roast a few brain flowers in a second to play.
It's just that Tang Yu came out to run at night to relax, and he didn't want to kill people and ruin his interest.
The scavenger wearing a special mask didn't seem to intend to let Tang Yu go.
It may be that Tang Yu has not undergone implantation transformation and is an ordinary person, so he has a crooked mind.
At the signal of the scavenger, the remaining five street slickers also surrounded him, blocking Tang Yu's way into the supermarket.
The scavenger, who had been squatting, stood up and left the green belt, stepped forward, and said through the voice changer.
"Leave your gun, glasses, and valuables behind, and I might as well consider letting you go."
Tang Yu knew that he was tricking himself, if he confiscated the pistol and glasses, his fists would be invincible to his four hands, and nine times out of ten he would be dragged to his waist.
Now he is still an ordinary body, and the original waist is very good, and he has no intention of changing to an artificial synthetic waist.
So he reached into his back pocket, ready to solve the problem.
The hand speed and gun sense he practiced in his previous life were not a big problem in exploding the heads of these little gangsters.
The 'Dragon Fist' glasses quickly locked onto the heads of several people, providing Tang Yu with additional aiming information while preparing for a long-range invasion.
Seeing Tang Yu pulling out his gun, the five thugs immediately became nervous, and the pigtailed little even took out a knife and threatened.
The masked scavenger holds the gun in his hand, his index finger on the trigger, and plays slowly.
"Don't think about it, just raise your hands"
Tang Yu felt that today was not very good, so he went out to run at night and met a scavenger who robbed Ga's waist.
Rao is no matter how good his temper is, he is not a bodhisattva who pinched mud, and he endures and endures.
Just as the two parties were facing each other, Tang Yu was about to make a move.
An ice-blue figure suddenly swept out from the top of the slope like a rainbow.
Before Tang Yu could react, he was pushed away by the other party with lightning speed.
When I came back to my senses, I found that I was lying in the iron basket of the shopping cart, being pushed all the way down the slope and sliding away.
