Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 328 90. This is a team battle

The moment he saw Carl disappear, Adam Hammer activated Sian Westin.

Obviously, when facing an opponent with Swanwestin, the key of the first and second moves is very important. Even someone like Adam's Hammer, who doesn't take ordinary attacks seriously, also attaches great importance to this.

In the slow pace of time, the order of thoughts may determine victory or defeat.

When Adam swung his right eye with the heavy hammer and looked to the left, he found that Carl's figure was indeed there.

Attacking from the opponent's blind spot is the basics of combat. Having lost half of his vision, Adam Hammer had to turn his head to get a view of the other side.

When Adam Hammer turned his head and looked at Carl, the knife in Carl's hand had already been used.

If he attacked from the front and threw the crucial knife, Adam Hammer might notice it and avoid it, but after Adam Hammer lost his left eye, he would need to turn his head to gain sight anyway, and this process was enough for Carl to press the start button for the knife.

Carl's EMP knife was a precious gift that Haruko gave him. Although he has never named the knife, it is always carried by Carl and Zhongye.

In battle, this knife is really important.

In this day and age, a knife that is extremely concealed and sharp, unlike an EMP grenade, can do a lot of things in the hands of a mercenary, even if the target is Adam's hammer.

By the time Adam Hammer noticed the flying, inconspicuous and thin knife in the air, the knife had already come close to him.

The EMP knife has a range of four meters, and by the time Adam's Hammer noticed it, it had already been activated.

'Buzz. '

Under the impact of the electromagnetic shock, Adam Hammer felt that his movements suddenly became slow. Thanks to the electromagnetic pulse protection technology that Arasaka obtained from the espionage activities at the Kontao Company, his body could barely maintain a certain flexibility in the pulse, but the sluggishness still greatly reduced his reaction speed.

After feeling his only remaining right prosthetic eye start to skip frames and the screen flicker, Adam Hammer, who was slowly controlling his body, realized what the EMP knife was.

Aren't there only two special knives made, and both are on Haruko's body? Why does this kid have one?!

Compared to the disbelief that had already filled his heart, what Adam Heavy Hammer felt was more astonishment.

"Could it be that someone from another company obtained this technology and made it for this guy? But is it worth the resources and dedicated research room it would require just to help a mercenary?"

With Adam Heavy Hammer's understanding of the past of large companies, he clearly knew that the cost of manufacturing such a weapon was too high and it was not cost-effective at all. Even if the final product was indeed given to Haruko, the related production line was like a chicken rib, with limited value. Even if Arasaka's old enemy, the Military Technology Company, had obtained this information, they would never invest a lot of resources to build a production process that was doomed to lose money from scratch just for a mercenary.

Since it is impossible to be military technology specifically targeting Arasaka, then it can only be
Looking at the small knife that had pierced into his chest an inch (3.3 cm), Adam Hammer felt more and more familiar with the object as he looked at it with flashing eyes.

It was indeed that small knife. There were only two of them. Why was one of them in this kid's hand? What was that loser Kenichi Shiro doing? His father was much more efficient than him in warning the people back then!
Adam Hammer, who had never thought of being attacked by this thing, was naturally unprepared for this. At this moment, he was in great crisis due to Carl's unexpected actions one after another.

"Don't be impatient to kill the beast, especially the more brutal it is." These words flashed through his mind, and Carl approached Adam's hammer as soon as the electromagnetic pulse ended. Then he swung the single molecule wire again, this time aiming at Adam's hammer's right eye.

Carl's combat idea has not changed from the beginning to the end. Facing an enemy with powerful armor and firepower, he must attack from other aspects, and the only options are action and vision.

Carl thought that he had no way to disable the activity of Adam's hammer, so naturally he could only attack the line of sight.

Even Adam Hammer could not exert his full combat power when his vision was impaired. Although he could rely on the weapon's automatic locking fire control system and the life scanning equipment in his body to continue tracking Carl and others, the slow feedback of these auxiliary systems could not compare with the direct visual response he was accustomed to.

No matter how much Adam Hammer despised the flesh and was accustomed to machines, he was ultimately born into this world as a human being with flesh and blood. The constraints of flesh and blood have existed since he opened his eyes and have never left his body for a moment.

In the darkness where his right eye had lost its vision, Adam Hammer felt the contact feedback from the surface of his mechanical body. The knife that had stabbed into his body was pulled out by Carl, and then he felt a data stream invading his eyes like a silk thread.

This intrusion, which could have been easily dealt with by his military-grade protective ICE and anti-intrusion program, was now penetrated through the data connection established by Carl and entered Adam Hammer's body, which had just begun to function rapidly again after being subjected to the electromagnetic pulse, from his damaged prosthetic eye. This caused Adam Hammer's body to freeze in place.

'Imprisons movement.'

This wasn't Carl invading.

Carl is now unable to invade and activate body acceleration at the same time, but he has never been alone.

Their team includes an extremely talented hacker who only needs a loophole to sneak into the protection program like a loach.

"Well done T-BUG."

Oliver couldn't help but praise T-BUG in the voice chat while he finished charging the Nekomata sniper rifle in his hand on the high slope in the distance.

The whole battle went on too fast. Even with Swanwestin, Oliver couldn't catch up with Adam's hammer. But now Adam's hammer had been restrained and stopped in place, so there was no such thing as not being able to catch up.

If he can't hit a fixed target accurately, he wouldn't be Oliver.

"This is a team battle, Adam Hammer."

Aiming at Adam's hammer's head, Oliver loosened his fingers.

"Bah!"

The Nekomata's bullet reached Adam's heavy hammer's skull at the moment when time slowly resumed its flow.
