Chapter 495: Loaded
Dense gunfire and explosions rang out beneath the abandoned building, and David sat cross-legged on the dusty floor, reloading his large-caliber pistol.
The noise downstairs didn't bother him, his face was calm, and the speed of the bullet in his hand was neither hurried nor slow, as if he was playing with a fun toy.
This is a large revolver from the Mallorian Arms Company, specially made for customers with great physique and great strength, and David is such a customer, the handle of the gun that can be held steadily by ordinary people with both hands, he can hold it in his hand with one hand.
In recent years, although the performance of the Malorian Arms Company in the market has not been as good as that of other competitors, the company's weapons production principles can still be seen in this revolver - powerful firepower, reliability and large weight.
It's 2077 now, epidermal armor, subcutaneous soft tissue protection, subcutaneous steel stents... There are many kinds of prosthetics used to save lives.
As the team's reputation continues to grow, and as their rewards continue to increase, the tasks they receive become more and more difficult, and the enemies they encounter are basically equipped with a certain amount of protective prosthetics.
How to find the weak point of the enemy's protection and kill with one shot, how to save your own life in the rain of bullets... These questions have always been the questions that all "marginal people" who are on the verge of life and death have to consider.
But for David, these problems are all easy to solve.
The enemy's protection is very high, and it is enough to shoot down with a large-caliber firearm aimed at the head; The enemy firepower is very strong, just turn on Silvistein to evade...
He has been the second-in-command of the squad for so long, and even if he hadn't respected Mann as a big brother very much and rejected the other party's suggestion to "abdicate and make way for Xian", he would have been the real leader of the squad now.
The improvement of strength, the growth of his own experience, and the increasing number of biological components implanted in his body also made David deeply aware of his extraordinary
- His prosthetic tolerance and talent for using prosthetics are a bit too good.
Maybe compared to monsters like Lin Mo, he is still out of reach, but compared to many company elites and company agents, he can still be called a genius.
Looking at the world, there are only two ways to become stronger, either God appreciates food and has good talent; Either that, or spend money on prosthetics.
Either way, talent will always be the key to determining the upper limit of strength.
With the latest generation of biological component sets and sophisticated weapons provided by Lin Mo's friendship, David also found that his "ceiling" was a little too high.
For example, in the past, when he was in a confrontation with Mann, even if the two sides used the same standard of prosthetics and equipment, the gap between him and Mann was like a medieval knight's battle.
He was strong and covered in expensive sheet metal armor, while Mann was old and frail and weak, and even if he wore the same sheet metal armor, he would be knocked down.
This is the food that God has given him.
If his fate changes and he becomes an employee of a large company, I am afraid that he will also become a test subject that is hard to find in the laboratory by chance.
After all, those big companies don't need a "soldier king" who is too strong, and an extremely talented employee is better than making him a "soldier king", but shining in the laboratory.
A rare "sample" like his, if you make good use of it, may be able to make a qualitative breakthrough in the research progress of many prostheses, and then selling prostheses to the market is a big deal of billions of yuan.
- To become the "King of Soldiers", no matter how talented he is, he is just a thug like Adam Hammer, and he even has to pay him a lot of salary.
- Becoming a test subject can make progress and breakthroughs in research projects that consume a lot of money.
Which is more important, those big companies will naturally have a decision.
Fortunately, he didn't face such a tragedy, and now he can still use his talent to do what he still likes.
He doesn't like to kill, and no normal person likes the scene of blood splattering, except for a pervert like Adam's hammer.
But habit is a very good thing, and now he no longer has any mood swings about killing.
Just don't kill the wrong person.
The bullets were loaded one by one, David inserted the revolver into the holster on his waist, picked up a Zhuo-style smart shotgun casually, and turned his head to the people beside him:
"Let's go, it's time to deal with the rest of the agents."
"It's long overdue, sitting here grinding and chirping, boy, are you scared?" Mann said disdainfully, too
"I'm just waiting for the right moment to see if they'll have reinforcements coming to support them." David said softly.
"If they had reinforcements, they would have come here a long time ago, so why wait until now." Mann said mockingly, his eyes rather cold.
Three days have passed since the crash.
And today is the end of this group of new American agents.
Ten minutes before the enemy attack, Shinmei's intelligence agents were able to find out where their squad was, so they desperately sent out the fighters currently stationed in Dog Town, determined to bury them here.
Of course, the intelligence information obtained by Xinmei was also deliberately leaked by Lin Mo and Hansen, in order to catch all these agents who made trouble.
Looking back on the experience of the past three days, Mann also felt quite incredible.
Things went so smoothly that everything seemed to be in Lin Mo's expectations.
Only the day after the crash, the New White House formed an investigation team to come to Dogtown, looking like they would not give up until they found out the truth.
Following Lin Mo's advice, Hansen did not block the entry of the investigation team.
And that night, the agents of the New American Investigation Group began to operate secretly.
However, under Lin Mo's command and order, the new American side did not succeed.
Until now, their team has successively completed all the small-stage objectives and thwarted all the plots of the Xinmei search team.
Whenever the investigation team sent by Shinmei to Dogtown made a small move and secretly sent agents out on a mission, Team Mann was like a knife, cutting off the "fingers" of the investigation team with precision.
All the fighting took place quietly, after all, in order to hide people's eyes, the number of agents sent by the investigation team in the shadows at any time was not too large, usually 3-5.
They may have been professionally trained, and both their ability to conceal their whereabouts and the efficiency of their missions are worthy of the qualities of a professional agent.
However, no matter how professional they are, they can't match the ambush of Mann's team.
- The agents arrive at an abandoned building that no one knows about, and are about to deploy their tactical equipment, when a group of big men emerge in the darkness and knock them all down.
- The agents learned their lesson and worked stealthily in the crowded black market of Dog Town, intending to drop explosives in public toilets to attract the attention of the guards with the explosions, and then carry out their own plans, only to suddenly explode several poison gas bombs in the squatting pit of the toilets, stuning them alive.
The frequent occurrence of such incidents also made the representatives of the investigation team protest to Hansen, bluntly saying that the law and order in Dog Town was a little too chaotic.
Media stations with ties to Xinmei also took the opportunity to report on Hansen's inaction, and it was he who deliberately acquiesced to the unnamed team of marginalized people who were acting recklessly in Dogtown, in order to secretly obstruct the progress of the investigation.
However, these deliberate smear actions did not cause much disturbance to Hansen.
In order to prove his innocence, the leader of Dog Town was also ruthless, and specially arranged for a third-party media to track and broadcast his daily itinerary throughout the whole process, proving that he had no intention of interfering with the investigation.
Not only that, in addition to the investigation team of the new American side, Hansen also invited other forces to come to Dogtown to have a look, without covering up the evidence of the crime.
This kind of generous attitude has also made the public begin to believe in his innocence, and instead begin to doubt the motives of the new White House.
After all, the investigation group, sightseeing group and "melon-eating group" that went to Dog Town were not the only ones from your Xinmei, and the entourage of other forces was not harmed, so why was it that only your Xinmei people were harmed?
There are even people from other forces (Kangtao, Arasaka) who testify that the law and order situation in Dog Town is quite good, but those uninhabited deserted areas are entrenched by many lawbreakers.
Compared to some of Night City's urban districts, Dogtown is indeed relatively "peaceful".
Therefore, it must be Xinmei's "unruly" people, which leads to trouble.
The successive losses and setbacks of the plan seem to have caused the commanders hiding behind the scenes to lose their minds and begin to take measures against Mann's team.
Although most of the actions were predicted by Lin Mo, the new American agents were occasionally able to go head-to-head with the Mann Team, but they were not superior in numbers, and the Mann Squad was not inferior to them in terms of combat power.
In the end, in the past three days, all the actions of the new American side have made no progress, and their own side has been weakened step by step by the Mann team, which can be described as embarrassing.
And now it's time to put an end to it all.
The Xinmei agents, who had been holding their breath for a long time, finally obtained the stronghold of Team Mann, and began to chase and intercept them as if they had lost their minds, trapping them in the abandoned building.
However, all this is within the plan of Mann and the others, and the expatriate agents of the Xinmei Investigation Group will be eliminated one by one in the past three days, and now the remaining combatants on the other side are also within their acceptable range.
"I'm still a little confused, didn't I just ruin their actions a few times... Now throwing a little bait to the outside world, how can these people chase after them like dogs? Mann was still a little puzzled, and while he still had some time, he casually asked David.
There weren't a lot of agents surrounding them outside the building.
Regardless of whether the other party still retains other back-ups, now that so many combat agents have been dispatched, it is obviously a bit of a "desperate" meaning, is the commander behind the scenes so uncontrollable?
David shook his head and said calmly: "I don't know, but Lin Mo said that there will be no accidents in this battle today." ”
Mann tugged at his lips and nodded a little unpleasantly.
For him, the feeling is rather subtle.
I have known Lin Mo so far, and there are many experiences of "lying down and winning all the way" under his command like now, but every time it makes Mann feel a little inexplicably unhappy.
Is it to win in vain? Or are you not used to it?
Or is this kind of "victory" deliberately arranged by others that makes him feel that his efforts have been disappointed?
Mann couldn't figure out where his unhappiness came from, but he didn't mean to be bored with Lin Mo.
After all, who doesn't want to win all the time?
"You still have that pistol?" Mann suddenly noticed the revolver in David's hand, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked:
"The power is good, but with only six bullets, how many people can you kill?"
"One shot, six shots is six people, and if you are lucky enough to serve two, that's twelve people." David said blandly, as if he were recounting a fact.
Mann shook his head, clearly not satisfied with his answer, and instead kicked the heavy weapons case that was open on the ground.
"Use this kind of revolver, when is it, we are not the original small characters anymore, of course the weapon must be used with the right taste." He pulled out a wheeled howitzer from his weapons case.
David looked at the "revolver howitzer" in front of him, which was magnified several times, rather speechlessly, smiled helplessly, and finally took it.
He opened the cartridge and pulled the grenade out of the weapon case.
He began to load howitzers, ready to send death to the enemy.
