Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 317 79. Run, Run Fast
"We finally stopped these military technology bastards!"

The Arasaka convoy that was chasing Mann and David saw Mann and David jumping out of the car. After the vehicle they relied on for escape was destroyed by the explosion, many people showed joy on their faces.

It has been some time since the Arasaka convoy was attacked in the Badlands. Due to internal purges, it was not until recently that the Arasaka personnel were convinced that it was the people from Military Technology who were secretly doing something. After the people from the Counterintelligence Department realized that it was the people from Military Technology, the relevant processing and execution procedures were almost immediately passed internally. They had been fishing in the wilderness for two days and finally got the people from Military Technology to take the bait.

According to the intelligence, people from Military Technology particularly like to disguise themselves as other companies, mercenaries, and wanderers, and they often approach in the form of small teams. Now it seems to be true.

Recalling the scene in which the bait convoy was attacked by this group of military technology employees disguised as mercenaries, the chief of the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department, who was in charge of the operation to capture the military technology employees, showed a hideous and malicious smile on his face.

"Damn military technology, you're still playing this old trick, and I caught you, so I can use you as a stepping stone for my promotion!"

Within Arasaka, actions related to thwarting military technology will be judged based on merit, and according to the resume of this chief of Arasaka's counterintelligence department, after capturing this military technology personnel, he will have hope of being promoted. At that time, even if he cannot become the director of Arasaka Night City's counterintelligence department and transfer to another department, he can at least serve as a deputy director. In that case, he will be a big shot with a say in Arasaka Tower.

"There are only two of them. Try to capture them alive. I will try to extract intelligence about military technology from them. They should be able to track our movements and accurately step into the traps we set for them. Their level in military technology may not be low. By then, not only me, but you too may be able to add a brilliant chapter to your resume. There will also be a large bonus for countermeasures waiting for you!"

The section chief of the counterintelligence department gave a half-encouraging, half-inducing speech to the more than 40 people in the convoy through the wireless receiver in the car. This section chief was not stupid. As a smart man who graduated from Arasaka Academy, he knew very well that if he wanted his subordinates to work hard, he had to dangle something in front of them. A sufficiently brilliant resume and bonus were obviously enough for his subordinates to risk their lives and choose to capture rather than kill.

"Yes!"

The huge credit that could be gained from capturing the enemy was obviously worth the risk. Moreover, there were more than 40 people on their side, while there were only two military technology personnel on the opposite side. With such a huge disparity in power, it seemed unreasonable not to take the credit.

In order to prevent the two military technicians from trying to escape, Arasaka's convoy began to disperse and surrounded them from three sides. Obviously, they did not think that the two men could escape with just their legs after losing their vehicles.

"It looks like they're planning to capture us alive."

As a veteran who had served in the New American Army in the past, Mann saw through the intentions of those guys from Arasaka's actions at a glance. He took the "Military Technology MK.31 Heavy Machine Gun" that he had brought with him when he escaped from the car, and slowly clenched his modified palms.

The MK.31 heavy machine gun is Mann's favorite weapon. The original intention of its design was to provide fixed heavy firepower. Only lone wolves like Mann who have undergone relevant prosthetic modifications and professional bodyguards can use it with just their hands. However, even if they can lift it, it is quite difficult for a single person to reload the MK.31 heavy machine gun. Basically, it can only fire one wave of explosive fire. Facing a scattered convoy, a burst of fire from this heavy machine gun is obviously not enough to help Mann defeat the enemy.

"I was originally thinking of trying to rely on the things in my hands to see if I could take a few more away, but now that they have dispersed, it seems I have to change my plan."

Mann glanced at David, who stood up beside him, holding the Kenshin in his hand and looking a little nervous. He picked up the MK.31 heavy machine gun with both hands and started walking: "Follow David."

"Mann?"

"I was driving before, but I wasn't without any route planning. Fifty meters in front of this place, under the cliff, there is a cave that used to be the residence of a group of night-wandering ghosts. Let's run there. This group of Arasaka wants to capture us alive, and we can use the cave entrance as a natural barrier to stop them. Quick, run, run, David!"

"Is there a cave ahead?"

David turned around and looked at the Arasaka team that was getting closer and closer behind him, and gritted his teeth. Fifty meters? In that case!
After taking a deep breath, my nerves and muscles relaxed for a moment.

Sean Westin, start!

The Denaras Anvistan Type 3 that David was equipped with was purchased after several missions with the money he received as reward and the money earned from the academy's Mewtwo business. Compared to other Anvistans, this type of Anvistan is much easier to control during combat due to its patented synaptic launch technology.

Feeling the time begin to slow down in his senses, David took a step forward.

Run, David, run faster!
David thought a lot as he walked.

He recalled the time when he lied to his mother and told her that he didn't need to pay tuition because he had received a special scholarship. His mother smiled in disbelief, but was surprised and proud of him. He recalled the first time he followed Carl and his friends to train, when he personally used a knife to kill a street cleaner. He recalled.
In a slow world, David's mind was extremely active, and at the end of his recollection, a figure of a woman with short white hair flashed through his mind.

David took a step forward, he approached Mann, he caught up with Mann.

"How can you die here just like this!"

"Mann, run!"

David passed Mann. Due to his size and weight, David was unable to take Mann with him when the Swanwestan started. However, when he reached the cliff, he immediately looked back at Mann, and what he saw was a rocket flying towards Mann.

'No, that's impossible!'

David's eyes widened.

"Aren't these Arasaka people planning to capture us alive?!"

David looked in the direction of the rocket in disbelief, and then he saw another convoy on the road to the side of them.

There was camouflage cloth scattered on the ground next to the convoy, as if it had been waiting there in disguise until Mann, David, and Arasaka's convoy approached, and then the camouflage was torn off.

Looking at the markings on the vehicle that were now undisguised, David recognized the identity of the group of people.

"Military technology!"
