Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 325 87. War

Come if you want to fight.

When David heard Carl's words, he felt the wind, and then a force drove him backwards.

"Stay away from me, David. The farther the better. What happens next is not something you can participate in."

Jack grabbed David by the collar and threw him backwards, and his synaptic accelerator started.

The body has already sensed a threat that is fatal.

There were no extra words or expressions, but the moment Carl finished speaking, Adam's hammer launched the attack.

His shoulders opened, the shoulder-mounted rocket launcher was connected, and then in a brief moment, in the blink of an eye, he poured all his rockets at Carl and his companions.

Adam Hammer didn't even use a single rocket when fighting against those military technicians, but now, he used all his ammunition on Carl and the others without reservation.

David was thrown backwards in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the rocket, which seemed to swallow up everything around it. Then, he realized with horror that although Jack had thrown him backwards at the moment the fight broke out, he was still within the rocket's attack range.

David tried to activate Swanwestin, but before he could do so, a figure caught up with him and grabbed him in mid-air like a flash of lightning. The man's movements were swift and powerful, as if he was grabbing a balloon, dragging David in the air and flying away.

As they were escaping, David witnessed a huge mushroom cloud rising on the horizon, caused by a rocket explosion.

“It’s still too close.”

Amidst a series of rapid whispers, David felt his body being suddenly pulled towards the ground, and he involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of dust on the ground.

"Cough cough!!"

Coughing, he raised his face, which was a little sore from friction. When he looked up, he found that the person who pulled him away from the battlefield at the critical moment was Oliver.

There was no trace of the kindness and smile on Oliver's face that he usually showed to David. Instead, there was seriousness and concentration.

His expression was firm and his eyes were sharp, staring straight at the battlefield where he had started the Sian Westin and left. In his hands, a Nekomata-tech sniper rifle was already steadily raised.

As a sniper, Oliver has a clear understanding of his role. When facing strong enemies, especially masters like Adam Hammer, he knows that his melee skills, which are enough to deal with ordinary cyberpsychopaths, are just insignificant in front of Adam Hammer. Therefore, he chooses to keep his distance, because only in long-range combat can he play his advantages. In close combat, his participation will not only be useless, but may bring unnecessary trouble to Carl and his team.

In Nekomata's sight, the layer of soil on the battlefield that had just been lifted up by the rocket had not yet settled, and the smoke and raised sand were still filling the air. Adam's sledgehammer arm had blocked a fatal blow that was heading straight for his head from the left with astonishing speed and accuracy.

"Thermal Katana."

Looking at the scorching heat radiating from the samurai sword that had used all its strength to cut into his steel arm by less than half a centimeter, Adam Heavy Hammer showed a cruel and disdainful smile to V who was looking directly at him from the left: "Little trick."

Then, in the slow time of the Sian Westin owner, Adam Hammer raised his left foot and kicked V.

With the power of Adam's Hammer and the size of his mechanical legs that were almost half the length of V's waist, he only needed one kick to break V in half, but Adam's Hammer and V were not the only ones moving in the slow time.

At the moment of kicking, an activated single-molecule wire swung and whipped towards Adam's heavy hammer's eyes.

Most of Adam Heavy Hammer's body is not afraid of the whipping of single-molecule wires. The whipping of such thin wires is just a slight tickle to his solid mechanical body, but this does not include the artificial eye. Adam Heavy Hammer's artificial eye has functions such as anti-stun grenade, low-light environment vision enhancement, and red ultraviolet visibility. However, in terms of protection, it is only the eye that needs to be transparent, so on the outside of the eyeball, there is only a layer of optical artificial eye protection. This protection is enough to block ordinary machine gun shooting, but it is not enough to block the fully charged single-molecule wire.

Between killing V and losing both eyes and keeping his eyes to deal with Carl, Adam Hammer chose the latter without hesitation.

There are plenty of opportunities to kill this little mercenary wielding a thermal samurai sword, so there is no need to lose his prosthetic eye to get rid of such a small person.

Adam tilted his head with the heavy hammer, and the single-molecule line hit the side of his face, scraping off some bionic flesh on the surface while leaving thin electric current burn marks on the alloy zygomatic skeleton underneath.

Without direct eye contact, V easily avoided Adam's heavy hammer kick. V, who had just escaped from danger, did not choose to retreat, but quickly counterattacked.

He clenched his right hand into a fist and hit the bottom of the knife handle hard, causing the knife that was originally stuck in Adam's hammer arm to sink at the front end and lift at the back end due to the impact force on the handle, thus loosening a part of it.

Then, V quickly approached Adam's Hammer, followed the direction where his elbow had hit the knife handle, spread out his five fingers, grasped the end of the knife handle with his ring finger and little finger, and pulled the knife with the rear end raised out of Adam's Hammer's arm.

In the use of samurai swords, the ancient swordsmanship emphasizes "using the last two fingers to exert force, and relaxing the first three fingers." This means that the little finger, ring finger, and last two fingers tightly grasp the handle of the sword, while the thumb, index finger, and middle finger are relaxed. The first three fingers are only used when chopping down. This can prevent the wrist from being bent by the muscles, and allows the blade and the arm to form a straight line. Only in this way can the knife be cut smoothly by cutting along the line to the object the blade is facing.

V didn't know any ancient sword techniques, but he knew how to chop people. All sword techniques often originated and were passed down in actual combat. After chopping people many times, V had already learned by analogy how to chop people.

After almost rushing into the embrace of the enemy and entering a distance that seemed difficult to exert force, V held the thermal samurai sword in his hand with two fingers of both hands, raised it from behind above his head, and then slowly dropped it when it was above his head. He clenched his hands and chopped it down.

Adam's heavy hammer just turned his face to avoid the whip of the single molecule line. He didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous mercenary had such courage. The moment he escaped from the disaster, he not only did not retreat, but rushed into his arms.

He caught a glimpse of the thermal katana about to chop down from the corner of his eye, and had to move his head drastically again to avoid the attack.

"Pfft!"

The sword brushed past Adam Hammer's cheek, which was avoiding the center of his face, and after cutting off a piece of machinery connecting the back of his head to his forehead, it fell heavily on Adam Hammer's shoulder.

If Adam's hammer had not had ears, this blow to his cheek would have been enough to teach him a painful lesson of underestimation.

"Two annoying pieces of meat!"

Adam Hammer's body spun violently, his fists swung like a storm, and he used his thick and big mechanical arms to force V and Carl back. He was furious, regretting his momentary negligence, and was ready to teach the two mercenaries who dared to challenge him a profound lesson, but just as V and Carl retreated, Jack had already arrived in front of him.

The technical double-barreled shotgun Sadara in his hand was already charged and ready.

"Pong!"

As the muzzle of the gun was raised, all the small steel needles fired by the technology were splashed onto the body of Adam Hammer.

In the electromagnetic blue light splashed by the steel nails, Jack's eyes were sharp:

"Don't forget, there is another one here."
