Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 255 17. A cornered dog jumps over the wall

If you don't obey orders, you will die.

Carl's words were simple and clear, but they stabilized the overall situation at this moment.

For some reason, the wanderers around them obeyed the command of the helmeted man very much and began to secretly point their guns at the military technology members on their side. Between death now and fighting for life, they chose the latter.

"We will follow your command."

This is the wanderers' answer.

The wanderers had thought about fighting the military technology people to see if they could defect to the other side, but the other side was clearly aiming to annihilate them. If they betrayed, they would die, but if they didn't betray and just followed orders, they might have a chance of survival. Normal people would choose the latter.

Of course, there is a third option, which is to provoke blood and fight on both sides due to a disagreement, killing both the task entrusting party and the attacker. But if they really have this determination and ability, they will not be able to become night wandering ghosts.

What are you struggling for? There are people behind Columbus's truck who have clients. We are all on the same boat and we will die together.

"Throw smoke bombs!"

In the eyes of the attackers, white mist suddenly rose behind the remaining Columbus trucks, and along with the white mist came gunshots from the direction of the trucks.

"Use the gunshots to cover the movement of the people behind the truck?"

The attackers quickly guessed this possibility and responded immediately.

"Turn on thermal imaging."

Some smoke bombs can interfere with the operation of common thermal imagers on the market, but it is obvious that the attackers did not use the common ones on the market. After they turned on the thermal imagers worn on their heads, they clearly saw the people running and moving in the smoke.

There was no need to conduct intensive strafing in the smoke. With the thermal imager, the group of people trying to evacuate were like naked, skinned rabbits, waiting to become their moving targets.

According to the positioning conducted by the hackers in the channel, the four attackers have already selected their targets in the smoke.

Facing the people who were almost moving towards the truck in the camera, the four attackers had already taken aim.

Just at the moment when the attackers were about to pull the trigger, a strange, creepy and calm voice came from their earphones.

"found it."

That voice seemed to be pronouncing something. Before the four attackers realized what was happening, the terrified screams of the hacker team had already echoed across the channel.

"I've been hacked. What can I do? Aaaaaaaah!!!"

Along with the shrill and terrifying screams, the four attackers who were aiming their guns felt their operating systems in their brain stems begin to heat up.

Prosthesis overheating.

Impossible, their current protection ICE, but all
Thought interruption.

Four people with scalded brains fell onto the armored vehicle that was used as a cover.

"Disconnected, the team hacker is dead, someone is invading us through the team hacker's access link!"

At the roar of the attacker's captain, the attackers who had not yet been harmed cut off the access rights they had given to the team's hackers. However, how could the target, who had already been targeted, end just because of the cutoff?

"My eyes, my artificial eyes are shutting down, I can't see anything!"

"My arm won't work, it's broken, it's awful." "Who are you and why are you around me!"

bang.

The captain of the attackers put away his gun and killed a team member who seemed to have lost his memory and pointed a gun at him.

Prosthetic overheating, rebooting prosthetic eyes, prosthetic malfunctions, and memory wipes that interfere with the hippocampus.

On the other side, there is a hacker who can use intrusion so skillfully. What kind of enemy is he facing?

The true identity of the attackers is Arasaka company staff, but unlike the traditional Arasaka staff in America who are loyal to Michiko Arasaka, this group of attackers are loyal to the real leader of Arasaka, and their mission this time is to hide their identities and recover the goods secretly transported by another faction of Arasaka, but they did not expect an accident to occur.

"According to intelligence, the Arasaka freight personnel on the other side should not be elite, so why is there such a high-level hacker among them?"

The captain of the raiders felt something was wrong.

"Thinking carefully, the people on the other side are also very special. They are all dressed like elite soldiers. This is far beyond the scope of cargo transportation. Could it be that those people realized that we would come to rob the goods, so they made preparations in advance? Despicable villains, actually use such dishonorable means!"

The captain of the attackers wanted to use the machine guns and rockets on the armored vehicle, but when he thought of the words of the adult, he gritted his teeth and gave up the idea.

"Even if you die, you cannot harm the goods inside. Your families are looking forward to your achievements."

Fight.

If the goods are destroyed, there is no escape but death. The goods cannot be destroyed at any cost. In this situation, the only option is to fight with all your strength.

"Restart the armored vehicles. Don't worry about possible casualties. Let's rush over and capture these traitors for you, my Lord."

The casualties in close combat would be horrific, but with so little time left, they couldn't take that into consideration. After the rebels used the truck as cover, their greatest deterrent weapon had lost its effect.

Using deterrent weapons to make them panic, flee in all directions and then pursue them was the best outcome expected at the beginning.

If this result is not acceptable, then they will slowly engage in a firefight, relying on snipers and hackers to kill the attackers in a targeted manner, using the method of boiling a frog in warm water to prevent them from making a desperate move and blowing up the truck and perishing together, and then slowly encircle the attacker. This is the second alternative plan. However, after the hacker dies, the sniper loses the hacker's cooperation and the ability to locate the target, and the second plan is declared bankrupt. In this case, facing the enemy's hacker attack, they can only try to fight at close range with prostheses.

"Show your blade!"

The stimulant injection was successful, the heart began to accelerate, the body temperature began to rise, and consciousness began to become frenetic.

"For honor!"

The armored vehicle restarted and began to roar again.

"What did you do? Why did they suddenly give up their advantageous distance and rush over to you?"

Meredith's voice of disbelief could be heard in the voice.

She couldn't understand why the other side was so stupid as not to use machine guns, why the other side didn't use rockets, why the other side didn't maintain an advantageous distance to attack, and why the other side rushed over so recklessly.

She really doesn’t understand!

Did Carl do anything?

He just directed people to move away with the help of smoke bombs. Did he do anything else?
