Chapter 47:25 Exoskeleton and Nekomata
Chapter 47 25. Exoskeleton and Nekomata
"what happened?"
The gunshots coming from downstairs naturally alarmed the attackers on the fifth floor. After all, they could distinguish the difference between the gunshots below and downstairs.
"Someone came up here?"
"How is it possible? The mines and induction devices on the first to third floors were not triggered!"
"Number 3 has lost vital signs, there is someone downstairs!"
"Hurry to the stairs!"
There were three attackers upstairs. In addition to the rocket launchers with emptied rocket shells beside them, each of them was holding a Shingen smart submachine gun. They were shooting at the mercenaries who were dodging in panic below, but they didn't expect to be touched by someone.
"Pause the attack on the mercenaries and get rid of the people who approached us first!"
Just as the attackers were about to act, the floor beneath their feet suddenly bulged up, and then the shock wave of the explosion swept them from bottom to top.
After the gunshots rang out, the attackers took one second to determine the source of the gunshots, then another second to confirm that No. 3 on the fourth floor was dead, and then it took another two seconds to decide to rush to the stairs to deal with the intruders. They wasted a full four seconds, and four seconds was enough for Carl to do a lot of things.
For example, use a single-molecule wire to break the lampshade, unplug a grenade, and throw it into the lamp frame above your head.
It is impolite not to reciprocate. I repay evil with kindness. If you attack me with a rocket launcher, I will just throw a grenade in return.
Carl felt that he was really too virtuous.
In the flames of the explosion that spread to the fifth floor, the two attackers were killed on the spot, which was something Carl, who rushed to the fifth floor, had not expected.
"The positions are too close together. If we die, we will die together."
Looking at the only attacker lying there gasping for breath, with his right hand blown off and the Shingen pistol in his hand missing, Carl raised the Shingen he had just picked up in order to prevent the other party from having the strength to counterattack in this situation.
"Only three people? Less than I thought."
Gunshots rang out, and the last attacker on this floor fell into a deep sleep.
"Oliver, they are all asleep."
Carl, who was keeping in touch with the team, informed Oliver and Jack of the good news as soon as he eliminated the enemies on this floor.
"We are now exchanging fire with them using vehicles and houses as cover. Carl, there is a sniper on the third floor of the apartment building opposite you. He has already blown up three people's heads with a cat. Is there any way to get rid of him?"
"Nekomata sniper rifle?"
[Tsunami Nekomata]: A precise technical sniper rifle. Although it requires frequent maintenance, the tungsten bullets it fires are enough to penetrate the thickest armor and walls, and shatter titanium skeletons. No one can rest assured of its power. Due to its threatening nature, the sales of this rifle are strictly regulated. If a mercenary is not employed by a company or the government, it is almost impossible for him to get this gun.
In other words, most people who can get this gun are from companies or the government.
Carl thought again about the expensive smart weapon Shingen and the rocket bombardment, but this group of attackers was really making a fuss out of nothing.
If you have the ability, you will attack the professional security personnel instead of waiting for our mercenaries to arrive, and use them against our mercenaries, right?
Or, there are other people dealing with the security personnel, and you are enough to deal with us?
As he was thinking, Carl walked to the balcony of the apartment and looked towards the third floor of the apartment opposite. Sure enough, there was a sniper holding a Nekomata sniper rifle, wearing a cloak, and with a prosthetic eye glowing red, constantly locking onto the mercenary below.
Isn't it said that snipers need to move after each shot? Why doesn't this guy move?
As Carl was thinking this, he saw the bullet fired by the mercenary below hit the sniper, and then the bullet was actually bounced off the sniper's "body".
"Something's wrong. That thing is..." Through the bullet holes on the cloak, Carl saw clearly what was under the cloak. From the bumpy appearance of the 'body' reflecting the metallic luster, it turned out that thing was actually an exoskeleton combat suit.
Carl had seen exoskeleton clothing in a clothing store in the northern part of Watson District, but those exoskeleton clothing were basically expensive, had poor defense, and required the installation of additional prosthetics to use. There was no comparison at all with the exoskeleton combat suit worn by the sniper he saw now.
Most likely it's for military use.
Damn, even if we mercenaries know that this is a fatal mission, we don’t have to be so dangerous.
Just when Carl was thinking about whether to throw a grenade over, a mercenary below had the same thought. He took off a grenade from his waist, rushed out of the bunker, raised his hand and threw the grenade towards the sniper's position. His courageous action turned him into a corpse without his head and upper body the next moment the grenade left his hand.
The grenade that the mercenary had placed high hopes on before his death was scanned by the sniper's prosthetic eye in mid-air, and he raised his gun and detonated it in mid-air.
At the moment of raising his head, the sniper's eyes also raised up, and then a red light flashed, and he scanned Carl.
"What the hell!"
Without any hesitation, Carl rolled backwards, and the next moment the balcony he was on was shattered by the huge impact of the bullet. A two-meter-long and one-meter-wide rock balcony was so fragile in the cat-shaped bullet. After the bullet passed, the complete shape disappeared, leaving only a pile of rock fragments smashing downwards.
The bullet not only shattered the balcony, but also had such penetrating power that it pierced through the fifth-floor ceiling of the apartment building. After rolling over, Carl looked up and was able to see the extremely light-polluted sky of Night City through the big hole in the ceiling.
"Oliver, that sniper has an exoskeleton, a military-grade exoskeleton!"
"What? Military grade. I knew this mission was going to be fatal."
There seemed to be a firefight going on over there with Oliver as well. After he cursed, Jack's voice rang out over the comms: "Carl, since this is a military-grade exoskeleton, you should ensure your own safety first. Mann, Oliver and I are heading towards the apartment and we'll be there soon. We'll take care of him then. Just stay upstairs and cooperate with us."
"There are mines and induction devices on the stairs. It's not easy to climb up. And your subcutaneous armor can't stop the sniper rifle, Jack."
Carl put the Shingen submachine gun on his waist and pulled out Kenshin.
"Let me try first. He fired a shot at me before I even fired. I really can't stand this."
"What are you going to do, Carl?"
Jack could sense something was wrong from Carl's tone.
"Planning for a Western Conference showdown."
If you get hit you will die, so isn't it fine as long as you don't get hit?
It’s no big deal, it’s harmless.
Carl jumped down from the broken floors until he reached the third floor, then listened to the gunshots, and after hearing the Nekomata's voice again, he did one thing.
A daring thing to do.
He raised Kenshin and shot through the barrier on the third-floor balcony, then started running wildly.
With the sound of shattered stones flying everywhere, Carl stepped on the edge of the balcony and then leaped up.
"hello."
In mid-air, Carl raised his gun one step faster than the sniper raised his cat-shaped gun.
