Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 583 196. Good stuff

Carl wasn't quite sure whether this thing in front of him, which had once been used by military technology and was developed from past military technology, was controlled by the Hellhound to hunt them down, but he was very clear about one thing - this thing was definitely not to be trifled with.

To be honest, Carl knew that the theme of robots killing people was a classic and famous one in the movies, but as the one being hunted, seeing those cold machines about to pounce on him, Carl just felt that robots were really disgusting.

When in doubt, take action first.

Carl naturally would not wait for this mechanical spider that looked similar to the short-haired guy to pounce on him first. When the hellhound robot was more than thirty meters away from Carl and was about to pounce, Carl raised his gun.

Be humble and faithful, and the energy gathering is complete.

The trigger was pulled, electromagnetic acceleration occurred, and the bullet hit the scarlet detecting eye of the mechanical spider like lightning.

“Crack.”

An unprecedented collision sounded, and the corners of Carl's mouth sank slightly: "Even the eyes are protected so strictly? The older, the more powerful. I thought this principle could only be seen in fighting comics or stories about cultivating immortals."

"Don't be careless, Carl! It's coming!" Reed's roar exploded in his ears.

The mechanical spider's mechanical claws spin and pounce, as if the designer really referred to the spider's hunting posture. The hellhound's movements are as swift as a wolf spider, deadly and precise.

"Fortunately, technology in the past wasn't that outrageous."

Carl exhaled lightly, and his body moved as fast as lightning, avoiding the fatal attack of the hellhound in an instant.

The sharp mechanical claw brushed past, causing a sharp metal tearing sound, and directly tore the load-bearing wall and steel bars behind it into pieces.

Karl glanced at the broken wall, and a trace of helplessness rose in his heart: "If we continue to fight like this, the load-bearing wall will collapse, and it will not be fun to bury myself in it."

He put away "Kenshin", the heat from the muzzle had not yet dissipated, but the result of the test was already before him - the defense of this hellhound was far beyond the reach of ordinary firearms.

The three guns on Carl's body, "Kenshin", "Zhongye" and "Yinglong", are all top-notch weapons, especially "Kenshin". As a technical weapon, its penetrating power is excellent. However, even it cannot cause any damage to the detection eye of the mechanical spider.

"If the gun doesn't work, let's try the knife." Carl whispered to himself, his hand reaching for his waist.

He pulled out the small knife given to him by Haruko. Although the blade was short, it contained deadly power to deal with machines. Carl turned the blade in his hand and threw it at the hellhound without hesitation.

At the moment the knife flew out, the hellhound was adjusting its body, preparing to pounce again with the help of the load-bearing column. However, the moment its "spider legs" just touched the wall, the EMP knife was activated.

"Mechanical creations, even if they are invulnerable to swords and guns, have fatal weaknesses." Carl had to thank Kang Tao for his EMP resistance technology that had not yet transcended time and space, otherwise this hellhound would not be so easy to deal with.

The red light in the hellhound's eyes dissipated instantly, and its huge mechanical body fell from the load-bearing wall with a loud bang, completely stopping working.

Carl walked forward and easily pulled out the knife that was almost completely embedded in the wall. The blade was still as cold as before.

He looked at the temporarily paralyzed mechanical beast and estimated its size in his mind: "The whole thing is about three meters long, and the legs alone are about 1.8 meters tall."

Reed, who was standing by, saw the whole process. This monster, which was made of cutting-edge technology from a bygone era and was invulnerable to swords and guns, and whose mechanical claws were sharp enough to tear steel bars apart, was actually solved by Carl with just a casual EMP knife?

When the hellhound pounced on him, Li De's brain was still working rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the hellhound, but Carl had already finished the battle. "This guy really lives up to his reputation." Li De sighed in his heart.

Carl's eyesight is as sharp as an eagle. It only takes him a moment to catch his opponent's fatal weakness. After this moment, any enemy in front of him will appear full of flaws.

KK, indeed, possesses the abilities of a legendary mercenary.

Carl didn't care about Reed's reaction. To him, it was natural for robots to use EMP knives and humans to use neurotoxin knives. Isn't it standard practice to take countermeasures against the target? Any experienced mercenary could do the same thing.

He just took advantage of the EMP knife, there was really nothing to worry about.

Rather, in Carl's current opinion, it is a bit difficult to see other people's weaknesses at a glance and come up with the best response and handling methods.

Carl naturally had panic, tension, fear, and terror. However, while having these emotions, his brain was extremely clear and was processing the most reasonable approach for him.

"Zi."

Carl shook his wrist, and a single molecule line flashed like a cold light, and the mechanical limbs of the hellhound broke.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the resistance from his fingertips was minimal, as if he was just cutting a piece of thin paper. This creation that once symbolized the pinnacle of human technology was now like a fragile toy in his hands.

What Li De said as "invulnerable to swords and guns" now only meant "invulnerable to guns" in his mind.

Carl nodded slightly. It seemed that guns might not be able to do anything to it, but the blade was still as sharp as before.

It seems that compared to the past, firearms have only improved in terms of intelligence, but not much in terms of power, or it can be said that most of the current firearms are powerful enough and there is no need for improvement. On the contrary, melee weapons have been improving and are becoming more and more advanced in order to split or chop things more smoothly.

"Kaka."

After a while, the Hellhound's EMP interference passed and it started moving again, but before it lit up red again, Carl had already swung the single molecule wire to dismember it into pieces.

Then, in the cut, Carl got hold of something interesting.

"Hey, Reed, what is this thing?"

Carl gestured to Reed with the card-like thing in his hand. While he was cutting up the hellhound, making this technological creation from the past completely scrapped, he took this thing from behind its limbs.

Karl inexplicably felt that this thing seemed a bit like a core, so he left it alone without cutting it.

"The behavioral system component is something that contains the behavioral characteristics of the Hellhound. I only know the name, and nothing else. Researchers studied it at the beginning, but it seems that they can't crack it. Forcible cracking will cause core damage. Since it can be used by another startup verification company, it was left there."

"I see."

Carl held the thing and put it in his pocket.

In summary, it’s good stuff.
