Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 456 69. Really Courageous

"Mr. Kurt Hansen."

Driving on the streets of Dog Town, Carl, who was looking out the window through the crystal ball system, suddenly turned his head and asked Kurt Hansen a somewhat strange question: "What is war like?"

"What is war like?"

Hearing Karl's sudden question, Kurt Hansen's hands on the wheel were steady, but he didn't quite understand: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Maybe there's an old soldier sitting next to him, he has nothing to do so he just asks."

Carl said honestly: "After all, I have never experienced war."

"Sounds like a recruit's problem."

Kurt Hansen snorted coldly: "If those puppies under my command asked me this question, I would definitely train them so that they can't ask this question."

"why?"

"Because war is never a word that can be spoken casually."

Kurt Hansen stared at the streets of Dogtown: "All the filth you can think of, all the malice and kindness, can come from war. It is a disgusting thing that once someone has experienced it, they will never want to experience it a second time. It is so complicated that every time I think about it, I feel like vomiting."

"Even a former colonel who had performed numerous services in the war?"

“Even if they are traitors to the new America.”

Kurt Hansen probably guessed why Carl suddenly asked this question:

"You are wondering what Dogtown, a place that has experienced war, has become like under the rule of someone like me who has experienced war, right? What is your impression of the situation on the streets?"

"It's not that bad, but it's not as prosperous as the city. I can only say that this place is worthy of the reputation in Night City. It's a hell of a place where people shoot people for no reason."

Carl looked at a few people on the street who were probably high and started shooting at each other and said, "But it's better than Los Angeles anyway."

"Los Angeles, haha, it seems the selection of that group of people is still going on."

After all, Hansen was born in the New America, and he knew a thing or two about some of the country's internal secrets. Hearing Carl compare Los Angeles to Dogtown, he felt that his management was insulted:

"More than half of my men were selected from Dog Town, but every puppy who joins the Nether Dogs, their families are proud to join us. These are not the soldiers that can be trained by idiots who have never personally been on the battlefield."

"That's true."

Carl continued to look forward: "But maybe those idiots want to make Dogtown the next Los Angeles now."

"You have to get rid of me first."

Kurt Hansen also looked forward. In front of them, something with a trail of smoke was flying towards them.

Fishing, the fish finally took the bait.

Carl kicked open the car door that was not closed tightly and rolled out in a Hellhound uniform. Before leaving the car, he glanced at Kurt Hansen who was sitting next to him and found that he did not need to worry about this protected target because he had already rolled out of the car with quite agile movements.

It's great to have such a capable target to protect. I don't need to worry too much about his life. When Carl and Kurt Hansen got out of the car, people got out of other cars around the two-seater car they were riding in.

Everyone acted quickly, and in just a moment they all began to evade using their own methods. When the rocket with a tail of smoke flew over, there was no figure at the center of the target.

"boom!"

The explosion sounded like a prelude, and as the vehicle that could withstand ordinary bullets flew high, Carl had already grasped the Ajax kinetic assault rifle.

This gun is a special edition of the green Cerberus, but to be honest, it is just a repainted version. In essence, it is not much different from the Ajax often used by military technology soldiers, so when Carl holds it and fires at the place where the rockets are flying, the overall feeling is no different from when the NCPD holds the Ajax and fires while on duty.

Carl did not particularly control the trajectory of the rifle in his hand, because he had just been attacked and he had no way of confirming whether the attackers were the former military technology soldiers, so he only showed the reaction that an elite Hellhound soldier could show. However, it was this action of his that made him be targeted.

Led by the experienced Hellhounds played by Carl and his friends, the group of Hellhound rookies who were pulled out of the car and saved their lives almost subconsciously followed them and began firing at the direction of the attack without knowing whether there was a target or not. The attackers quickly locked onto the target that posed a threat to them based on the difference in reaction speed between the rookies and Carl and his friends.

"call out--"

"Oh!"

A bullet that Carl dodged by leaning sideways blew up several pieces of gravel on the ground behind Carl. Carl quickly determined the position of the shooter from the trajectory of the bullet that he saw out of the corner of his eye.

He turned around again and pulled the trigger. The bullets flew towards a location a hundred meters away, but there was no human figure in the direction determined by Carl.

Did he evade without any hesitation after shooting the bullet?

The bad news is that Carl and his men are facing quite experienced personnel, who at least understand the key points of urban street fighting.

The good news is that this means that the attackers were not wearing any heavy protection, otherwise, at this distance, they would not have to avoid the Ajax rifle fire.

Carl noticed the direction where Kurt Hansen was. Now the boss of Dog Town was hiding behind a vehicle, using it as a cover to attack enemies from an unknown direction.

Carl didn't hesitate any longer. He ran a few steps, dodged the bullet that was supposed to be aimed at his upper body, and slid to the side of Kurt Hansen:
"Have you called your men for support?"

"of course."

Kurt Hansen changed the bullets in his gun: "Have you identified the personnel?"

"No, the attacks we've suffered so far are all within normal range. I can't be sure if the other party is using military technology, and I haven't seen the so-called lost unverified equipment of the terrorist mobile team."

As Carl was talking, he heard a buzzing sound.

It was a sound of mechanical and heavy footsteps approaching rapidly.

This sound is
"It looks like it's definitely the target."

Carl left Ajax behind: "These guys are really brave."

He took off his helmet which was not very comfortable to wear.

"They even dared to use exoskeletons that only elite members of the Terrorist Squad could afford."
