"Mason's Batmobile signal is gone!"

Barbara, who was driving a magic lizard that was too cool to appear under the painting style of this world, was hovering in the direction of the Continental Hotel, and suddenly lost the signal capture of the Batmobile, which shocked the bat girl who was connecting her brain to the tank's control weapon system.

This upheaval of emotions immediately affected human-computer interaction.

The heavy tank came to a screeching halt and then turned, causing the second barrel that was sitting in the passenger seat to check the assault equipment and almost crashed headfirst above the driver's seat, which was not very spacious.

"What are you going to do?"

Jason shouted:

"We should go and save Zakang!"

"Let Zakang die, bastards like him can always find a way to escape, but I'm about to lose Mason's signal!"

Barbara opened her eyes and screamed:

"If I leave him here, Selena and Gordon will kill me."

"Passengers, please calm down! Such drastic emotional changes under the interaction of fully conscious data may cause irreversible damage to your brain that has not been over-engineered with a prosthetic cortex. ”

The voice of the on-board AI Delaman immediately sounded, and it projected the image of its bald male in front of the lizard's console, and reassured Barbara:

"The program's sub-thread data has just been recovered, and the first passenger, Mr. Mason Cooper, has not suffered any damage to his life, but the very good vehicle Batmobile has been temporarily shut down due to the high-energy impact.

According to the analysis of the last footage transmitted back from the data recovery of the sub-thread, Mr. Mason is engaged in a chase and grapple under the night with a scarf killer suspected to be a space-time xenomorph of Johnny Silverhand.

Rest assured that Passenger No. 4!

According to the calculations of this procedure, the probability that Mr. Mason will win this chase is not less than 60%.

Conversely, if you don't make it to the Continental within five minutes, the chances of His Excellency John Constantine surviving will diminish quickly.

Just two minutes ago, his biological signal had sent a message of injury. ”

"Wait! When will you be able to receive his biosignals? ”

Barbara finally calmed down, and she looked at Delaman's data projection and asked:

"There's no biomonitor in Zakang's body, right? He'd always hated those things. ”

"Mr. Mason, the first passenger, will give you a trinket he made himself before leading the three of you into the world, and the trinket contains a simplest biometric monitoring and sending device."

Delamane did not hide it, and said honestly:

"The device activates passively when a member of Team K suffers damage, and this procedure is responsible for receiving the information and relaying it to Mr. Mason. In the absence of Passenger No. 1 now, the response authority is delegated to Passenger No. 4, Miss Barbara Gordon. ”

"I'm number four?"

Barbara pursed her lips and whispered as she recalibrated the route of the lizard's flight to the Continental Hotel:

"Well, I guess passenger number two is Selena Kyle? Passenger number three is Charles Brown? ”

"No, according to the latest modification records of the program's distributed database, the second passenger of this program's response authority is Bruce Wayne, and the third passenger is Selena Kyle.

Mr. Charles Brown's identity has been modified to be a K-Team Mechanical Maintenance Engineer, and he is normally a logistics staff member and is not counted in the combat personnel sequence. ”

The on-board AI, which has no nerves, tells her the news that Barbara is interested in in a very calm way, and Mason's response to the arrangement of permission to listen to the bat girl and the two barrels look at each other.

Even Jason, who has never paid much attention to these things, couldn't help but ask:

"Does this response permission mean that if Mason hangs up, all of K-Team's engineering-related weapons will be transferred to Bruce?

What is he doing here?

Planning to make Bruce the next captain of Team K? ”

"Passenger No. 5 does not have sufficient authority, and this program refuses to answer the question."

For the first time, Draman refused to answer the question with a straight face.

Barbara blinked and said:

"I'm the current temporary permission owner, you should answer if I asked, right? Delaman. ”

"This program is a highly realistic intelligent AI, and my understanding of the concept of 'permission' is very flexible, and I also refuse to answer your question."

Delaman explained very seriously this time:

"Passenger No. 1, Mr. Mason Cooper's arrangement of Team K following his own accident, is superlative, and this procedure is not to reveal any information except with his permission.

But in order to silence the two of you and your curiosity, this program will tell you that your guess is wrong.

Compared to Mr. Bruce Wayne, an extra 'honorary member' of Team K, Mr. Mason clearly believes more in his true teammates, and the next captain will be among you.

Well, it's time for small talk!

The armed vehicle is approaching the combat zone, and the frontal firepower is judged to be highly dangerous! The full weapon system is unlocked, and both passengers are immediately ready for battle.

The battle mode is activated in the Delaman pilot program switch!

Didi!

Kill you!

King! Eight! Egg! ”

After a second of silence, the cacophony rang out again.

It was also accompanied by the roar of the anti-gravity engine of the Magic Lizard Tank, which accelerated in an instant, smashed the burning ruins of the houses in front of it, and knocked the armored vehicle parked outside the Continental Hotel into the air and flew out.

The impact immediately attracted the attention of the heavily armed assailants all around, and the heavily armed assassins "Elder Praetorian Guard", dressed like the upgraded "Rogue Warriors", responded tactically one after another, and for a moment more than seven points of fire began to pour fire on the Lizard Heavy Tank that appeared in the burning night.

But their counterattack was still secondary, and when they actually entered the vicinity of the Continental Hotel, Barbara and Erke's expressions had become extremely heavy.

They don't know what this building was like before, but judging from the fact that its main building and the surrounding three streets are now on fire and burning, as if it had been blown up by more than a dozen tons of aerial bombs, only the ruins remained.

These assassins are outrageous! How can anyone engage in such a nuclear explosion-style assassination!

You just blow up the whole city, with this firepower projection density, you don't want to let B-class personnel come, even if you let the Great Mentor come, you may not be able to withstand it.

"Are we late?"

The second bucket, which was already ready to break into the enemy camp and rescue his teammates, would also be a little numb.

He looked at the scene in front of him through the cockpit of the Lizard Heavy Tan, which was made of special composite armor materials and was transparent from the inside to the outside, allowing a 360-degree view of the battlefield, and more than 200 heavily armed assassins were shooting at his own tank with Vulcan cannons, and the sparks and ricocheting bullets on the reactive armor almost covered his eyes.

I heard Zakang say that there are more than a dozen B-class personnel who came to this world to "pan for gold" in this hotel.

I guess I don't have to look for it now.

Based on this firepower estimate, during the first wave of bombardment by the assassins in this world, those who were manipulated by the golden apple and were completely unaware of the danger were estimated to have turned to ashes.

"Fire! What are you waiting for! ”

Barbara shouted.

It is obviously more convenient for her to use full consciousness to carry out human-computer interaction aiming and firing, and when the second barrel is still activating the dual 25mm automatic cannon behind the Magic Lizard tank, the quadruple thermal tactical missile on the left side of the rear of the tank has already dragged a long tail flame to make a cloud of fireworks on the devastated battlefield.

This "outdated weapon" from Night City may not be enough to use against real military mechs or helicarriers of the same era, but when they land on flesh and blood, the effect is extremely brutal.

After all, you normal people, even if you wear a meter-thick body armor, you can't withstand the bombardment of thermal missiles, right?

After six consecutive heat-generating missiles washed the ground, all seven firing points blocking the Magic Lizard Tank were muted, and as the levitating heavy tank continued to move forward, the on-board AI quickly sent a message.

"Mr. John Constantine's life signal is in the burning ruins of the left front! Be warned, there are also multiple very dangerous biosignals out there!

The intensity of their threat reminds me of Adam Hammer"

"Who's that?"

The second barrel manipulated the cannon to aim at the ruins, and asked casually.

Barbara, who was still interacting with the lizard with her eyes closed, replied casually:

"A legendary mercenary in Night City, I heard Judy do her nails when I was shopping with Judy before, a guy who will do anything for the sake of power, and is said to have replaced all his organs with steel.

Now I'm going to take over the weapons system, Jason.

After we crash into it in a while, you come to the rescue, no matter what is there, don't entangle with them, take Zakang, and we'll go immediately. ”

"Hmm."

Erkeg fastened his red helmet to his head, the silver Gryffindor Revenge Sword behind his back, and grabbed the two Archangel kinetic revolvers that Mason had made for him with both hands.

Although the firepower of this thing is certainly not as powerful as the dragon that is now roaring forward, it has proven in previous battles in the Old Spider World that it can easily shatter any regular armor in melee combat, and even if it is unconventionally filled with magic bullets, the two pistols have become Jason's "favorite".

On top of that, it's handsome enough

What man can resist the temptation of these two cuties?

"Delaman, prepare for nitrogen injection, and evacuate as soon as we get the help."

Barbara deployed instructions to the onboard AI and steered it into the burning ruins, charging them into the guns of the "heavily armed assassins" around them.

It's all the way with sparks and lightning.

If it weren't for the fact that this thing's scandium alloy reactive armor was really strong enough, the mere rush in would have been enough to make them lie on their stomachs halfway.

The war machine given by the afterlife squad as a thank you gift is indeed powerful.

As it rammed into the ruins, everyone including Zakon who was hiding in a corner grinning frantically summoning the Infernal Flames in an attempt to burn the attacker to death, and Albert Wesker, an A-Class who was fighting the Assassin Sages in close combat, were startled by the sudden movement.

However, they were stunned, but Barbara wasted no time, the muffled sound of machine guns immediately roared, sweeping the deadly bullets in front of seven or eight white-robed and black-robed assassin saints, but they were quickly dodged by the other party who reacted quickly, and at the same time, a few people drew out strange protective shields to resist the storm of bullets that could tear through steel.

The two barrels leaped out of the cockpit as they bounced open, and a perfect fear blunt pounced on the Sage who was attacking Zakkan, causing the latter to bleed in the double-shot salvo, and was hit head-on by the Hellfire in the shouts of Zakkang and screamed back.

Okay.

It wasn't until he saw the action of Zakang starting fires everywhere that the second bucket realized that there was still a help from his own scum teammates in the tragic situation of the building burned to the ground.

"Can you still go?"

The second bucket rushed up to hold the crumbling Konstantin, who nodded weakly and stuffed a bloodstained box in his arms into the second bucket's hand.

Jason was stunned for a moment.

Then he quietly hid it in his bag and dragged Zakang back to the firing lizard tank.

"Let's go!"

He shouted, and the onboard AI immediately reversed as the weapon fired.

But at the same time, a blinding arc of light lit up from high and hit the outer armor of the Lizard Tank like a meteorite in a hail of bullets.

There was a loud click.

In the violent vibration, the advanced reactive armor that could withstand the close-range bombardment of anti-tank rockets was actually shattered by a single blow, and the second barrel who had just returned to the cockpit stared at the round eyes, only to see a rune war spear splashed with lightning on the torn outer armor in front of him.

There were mysterious golden geometric runes pulsing on it, representing the rise of power, and then a white-robed figure appeared next to the war spear like a flash, grabbed it and slashed down and up again.

"Bang"

The heavy armor outside the cockpit of the heavy demon lizard suddenly flew out a third of the way.

This.

This is probably the legendary Isu artifact, and it's really fierce enough! However, Sujay's Eagle is also an Isu artifact, and this power is not seen in Catwoman's hands.

"Warning! Reactive armor is badly damaged! Warn! Atomic battery damaged! Increased risk of radiation leaks! ”

Delaman's warning voice of pitch change echoed in the chaos, and the two barrels raised their guns and pulled the trigger forward, but the bullets flying out of this near-face-to-face distance were actually flashed by the other party.

But Jason undaunted, jumping out of the cockpit and melee with the opponent.

The second barrel, as a master of weapons, was not at all intimidated by the "anti-tank battle spear" more than two meters long.

This thing looks amazing.

But this length makes it an absolute burden in melee combat.

Seeing that the two members of Team K who came to rescue people were about to take them in, the eyes of Wesker, who was blocked by the Sage Assassins on the other side, suddenly flashed red.

He was also aware of the current situation, and the only chance he had to escape from the desperate encirclement of these Assassin Sages was the unbelievably looking vehicle.

So the noble A-class boss also became ruthless.

As a strange scorching breath erupted, magma serpent-like tentacles sprang out of the sleeves of his black trench coat and swept in all directions.

There was also a highly toxic and corrosive smoke pouring outward, and at the same time as the Assassin Sage who was close to him forced back, Wesker rushed out of the encirclement like a teleporter, and was crashing into the front of the Assassin Sage who was fighting with the second barrel, and wrapped the strange virus tentacles around him and threw him outward.

The onboard AI Delamane seized the opportunity to activate the nitrogen injection, and the Lizard Tank, which had lost a third of its outer armor, retreated with super-fast speed and galloped towards the sky behind it with billowing black smoke.

Thankfully, it doesn't need wheels or tracks, otherwise there wouldn't be enough for it to break through on the nearby road right now.

Although it would be difficult for it to rise above a height of five meters and completely escape the constraints of gravity, the Assassins were also unprepared to deal with such a thick-skinned, powerful all-terrain vehicle.

After all, you can't always use the Isu artifact in your hand as an "anti-tank spear".

This good thing passed down from the ancestors is also lost.

Seeing that under the cover of Wesker, an A-class personnel who had entered the "transformation form", the tattered hovering tank dragged black smoke all the way out of the burning war zone, and the leader of the assassin saints immediately stretched out his hand to stop his companions' intention to pursue.

He pulled his hood down and said:

"No need to chase anymore! The Aurora Device has been activated, this world has been completely cut off from the outside world, and they can't escape! Other areas need our help, brothers and sisters. ”

"But that evil virus creature is very difficult to entangle, and it deserves to be a dangerous A-class personnel."

A female Assassin Sage, coughing over her chest, whispered:

"The ancient bloodlines are also struggling to defend against the evil, and they have taken the golden apple that the Templars have placed here, so perhaps we should call for help?"

"Support? No, you don't! ”

The leader of the Sages shook his head and said:

"The Elder had foreseen the difficulty of this battle, so he was fully prepared. Rest assured, the legendary Lady Kassandra has descended here.

Although the bait did not attract the real leader of the enemy, we cannot ask for more at this time, and we must clear the poison of this chaos!

Only in this way can the world no longer have any scruples about dealing with the apocalypse.

The legendary catastrophe. ”
