Chapter 403: After the Fact
The midday sun was harsh and scorching, especially in an area where the greenery was extremely scarce, and the sun was hot enough to make ordinary people standing on flat ground sweat in a minute.
Lin Mo was no exception, the consumption caused by the high-intensity combat and the repeated use of the speed component, the sweat that came out of his body had soaked his clothes.
After executing Adam's hammer, he didn't even have the strength to lift the pistol.
"How, boy, you should be alright, can you stand up?"
A burly figure shaded the sunlight, bringing a dull shadow, Lin Mo raised his head and saw several figures slowly walking towards this side.
And Jack, who was walking at the front, stretched out his hand to Lin Mo who was sitting on the ground with a hearty smile on his face, as if he wanted to help him.
The others also looked at the steel skeleton on the side with shocked eyes, and they all couldn't believe that Lin Mo had successfully "single-handedly killed" Adam's heavy hammer.
However, except for V, who still had an expression of "shocking my mother" who had never seen the world, the rest of the people quickly calmed down while being shocked.
After all, they are often accompanied by Lin Mo, and they are already familiar with this kind of incident beyond comprehension.
Lin Mo smiled helplessly, slapped Jack's palm away weakly, and said in a joking tone:
"Don't think that everyone who sits on the ground needs support, and maybe others don't even have the strength to stand up? Especially if you have a physical injury, moving the other person at will will only cause secondary injury. ”
Jack obviously hadn't thought about this kind of problem, and touched his head in embarrassment, muttering a little incredulously, "Is there such a thing... But don't you look sturdy? ”
The rest of the people also looked at them with caring eyes, and Mann, Kitagawa Hao and David all wanted to get started and lifted Lin Mo up.
"I have a stretcher in my car." The driver, Falco, also added.
"Seeing is not necessarily believing." Lin Mo shook his head, took a deep breath, and then barely stood up with his hands on the ground.
He looked at his injuries, but fortunately there were no serious wounds, most of them were small wounds caused by burns, shrapnel scratches, and the small bumps that inevitably occurred during the long battle.
The most serious injury was still Adam's punch.
This is also a very normal thing, although his physical protection is not weak, and he is also implanted with biological type protective skin in his body, strictly speaking, it is not "high attack and low defense", but in the face of an enemy of Adam's hammer level, no matter how strong the protection will be dwarfed.
Therefore, this also leads to the fact that in the course of the battle, he must not bear too many injuries, otherwise once his state declines, he will eventually die.
"These wounds can be treated with some medicine later, now let's clean up the battlefield first." Lin Mo patted the sand and dust on his body, and his tone was slightly weak.
Jack laughed a few times, put his hands in his trouser pockets, glanced at the messy battlefield with helplessness, and said with a little helplessness:
"In this raid, our original intention was to get the prosthetic King Kong, but this transport convoy is clearly a disguise, and now we can't even see the traces of the prosthetic."
"Eh, don't say that, even if there is no prosthetic King Kong, just picking the remaining trophies from the two company convoys is a good amount of money." Mann retorted disapprovingly, looking at the ruined armed vehicles around him, he finally showed a philistine smile, and couldn't help but rub his hands:
"Lin Mo, if you're okay, I'll lead everyone over to pick up things first, the battle just now didn't help much, let's take a hand on this little thing."
The previous battle between Lin Mo and Adam Hammer, as insurance for this operation, should have provided immediate support when Lin Mo needed it.
However, until he cut Adam's hammer into a skeleton, Lin Mo didn't call them to come over and help...
On this mission, to a certain extent, they just stood on the side and watched a show.
However, this is also a matter of no choice, because from the beginning, Lin Mo planned to fight Adam Heavy Hammer alone, and they could only play soy sauce on the sidelines.
"Well, you guys go over first, Kitagawa Hiroshi and Jack stay, I have something to talk to them about." Lin Mo glanced at Mann, nodded at him, and then reached out and pressed his hand on the nerve groove, popping out one of the chips inside.
He walked up to Kitagawa and handed the chip to the other party, who took it with understanding and carefully placed it in his pocket.
"By the way, the remains of Adam's hammer need to be brought back in a car, which is more valuable than the rebel King Kong, his steel body made by the Arasaka Corporation." Lin Mo suddenly remembered this, turned his head and told Mann and the others.
The corners of Mann's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his finger to point to the steel fragments scattered around him that were cut down by Lin Mo with his sword, and asked very tangledly:
"All?"
"Well, all of them." Lin Mo nodded, and then his eyes fell on the V who was like an invisible person at the back of the team, looking at her somewhat restrained posture that could not fit into the team, he couldn't help but smile, and gestured to Mann:
"By the way, I brought our Miss V, who, as a participant, should also enjoy the process of victory."
Mann grinned and turned his head to look at a somewhat bewildered V, who apparently didn't expect to be able to pick up trash on the battlefield, apparently she had just come over to get some soy sauce.
"Are you sure? But I didn't help much. V asked in a daze.

"Eh, look at what you said, aren't we people not helping, now you just need to take all these loot, as much as you take, and tidy up the scene is considered a help." Mann Kang said angrily:
"That's our way of doing things, and you'll get used to it later."
At this time, Lin Mo also walked over slowly, and said with a warm smile:
"We don't have much time to stay here, Arasaka or military technology support troops can come over at any time, and you can earn as many items as you can bring, and besides, you are also involved in the operation and take risks, so you don't have to feel like an outsider."
V looked at Lin Mo with a blank look in his eyes that he had never experienced such a thing.
She is used to making a living in the bad land, if it was in the family action before, the spoils she got would basically belong to the family collective, where would it be like now, take whatever you pick up?
However, V, who was a little eager in his heart, still did not refuse this kindness after all.
She thanked her, and simply followed Mann and the others to collect the various items left on the battlefield.
After they all left, only Lin Mo, Kitagawa Hao and Jack stayed where they were.
"After this operation, we also completely tore our faces with Arasaka... It's even possible to add a military technology, what do you two think about that? Lin Mo asked at the two of them.
He picked up the black unicorn from the ground, shook off the fine sand from the blade, wiped it clean, and incorporated it into its scabbard.
Kitagawa Hao and Jack glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, and they couldn't guess the intention of Lin Mo's inquiry.
After thinking about it, it was Jack who finally took the lead in expressing his opinion:
"If you really want to work with these two companies, then the Valentino gang and the forces I have at hand can help you, but if you ask me what I think, then I personally prefer to avoid the limelight, after all, these two companies combined... I'm afraid that no one in this world can afford the retaliation of two companies..."
Kitagawa Hao also followed up and said, "My opinion doesn't matter, no matter what Lin Jun wants to do, the Tiger Claw Gang can serve you!" ”
Lin Mo bowed his head, indicating that he already knew, but did not say anything to the speeches of the two, just stared at the steel skeleton kneeling on the ground with a calm face, the burning flames on the wreckage had become faint under the blowing of the yellow sand.
After a long time, he said in a deep voice:
"What I want to do, from the point of view of pure intentions, is not too noble... Just like this time, dealing with Adam's hammer is only one part of what I expected, so each of you doesn't have to make a move and just enjoy the victory. ”
"But one thing is for sure, at some point in the future, when it comes to the final part of the plan, I need the help of all of you, and at that time it will no longer be my solo show, everyone will have their own responsibilities."
Jack and Kitagawa Hao's faces changed slightly, and they both heard his deep meaning from Lin Mo's words.
Since it is a plan for everyone to appear, with Lin Mo's temperament, this is definitely no longer a simple matter for one or two companies.
... Arasaka and military technology are probably just part of the plan!
Lin Mo continued:
"After this operation, I will choose to keep a low profile for a while, after all, there is a high probability that there will be no more heavyweights like Adam Hammer in the future, and similar big events are difficult to encounter... And during this time, I happened to talk to someone. ”
"Who?" Jack asked tentatively.
"Arasaka Yori-no." Lin Mo didn't sell it either:
"But this matter has to be discussed in the long run, you don't have to ask more, with his identity, it is not easy to get in touch with him, just during this time, both of you have trained the newcomer for me, and any entrusted tasks are left to her to deal with alone, even if there is no task, you two have to find it for me, and she must not be free for a day!"
“... You mean Ms. V? The corners of Kitagawa Hao's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt sorry for this girl who had just come from the countryside.
As soon as she came to Night City, she was clearly arranged by Lin Jun, and she didn't know whether to say that she was lucky or unlucky?
"Well, maybe even she doesn't know how high her potential is, so what we have to do is force her to tap her potential, give her a bunch of tasks, let her deal with them, accumulate experience and grow at the same time, and at the same time not let her be passive and slack off... I'll leave it to you. Lin Mo said.
"Don't worry, Jack and I will take care of it." Kitagawa Hiroshi immediately responded, and dragged Jack into the water by the way.
Although Jack was also confused, he finally nodded and accepted the task.
