Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 107: Battle of Arasaka (I) [Behind the Power]

Violent blood.

The first time Lu Mingfei witnessed this technology was in the deep sea of ​​Bronze City, where Chu Zihang used it to cover his and Caesar's evacuation.

Afterwards, Lu Mingfei of course asked Chu Zihang about the nature of that ability.

Although Lu Mingfei was a little worried at first that Chu Zihang would not tell him, unexpectedly, he told him very readily. Not only that, he also added additional information: This was probably a technique passed down by Principal Ange and deliberately given to them to learn.

Normal people can’t learn it, and even if they do, they’ll worry about overusing it and becoming crazy.

It is said that there are less than ten people on the entire earth who can burst into blood.

By briefly releasing the suppressive effect on the dragon blood, and using spiritual elements to control the dragon blood to refine the body - in this process, the proportion and quality of dragon blood will increase uncontrollably.

The more restrictions are relaxed, the more obvious the improvement will be.

The dragon's blood will gradually transcend human nature and turn the hybrid into Deadpool.

Erosion of human nature?
Haha, is this a prosthesis?

Perhaps it is not the case in other normally developing cyberpunk worlds, but in this parallel world "built on the history of the dragon clan", prostheses are indeed such a thing.

The essence of cyberpsychosis is also the pollution of spiritual elements by dragon blood.

Knew it.

The world is interconnected.

Prosthetic body = dragon blood.

How can a technological product like Sian Westin be able to 'slow down time'?
Why can we create an anti-gravity device even though we don’t have any technological totems?
Just as guessed before.

The so-called artificial body is a biotechnology based on the dragon race! And violent blood is a stimulant that forcibly stimulates the artificial body (dragon blood) in the body.

Come on then
Makes me crazy!
Let me fall to the so-called 'edge'!
I'm an edgewalker! Isn't it!
Let's see who will fall first!!!
boom!!!--!----!--!--------

On the third underground floor of Arasaka Tower.

Karala
The gravel continued to crack and wither, falling down and hitting the sticky soil. Lu Mingfei pulled his body out of the deep pit.

The violent collision had made his consciousness a little dizzy, but it seemed that the blood explosion took effect, and he was soon able to think objectively about the surrounding environment.

The part of the artificial eye that was visible was filled with rare plants and vines, making it look like a botanical garden.

But it doesn't look like a normal plant.

They are too big.

A huge crown of flowers covered the entire dome of the room, and vines were woven into bridges. The thick fog crushed the neon light and shadow above the hole into dregs, like vague shadows.

The tips of the petals seem to have absorbed light of different wavelengths and show a clear gradient. The vines are wrapped around trees and rocks like a giant python. The surface is covered with smooth scales, some of which have a metallic luster, like flowing liquid.

The trees towered tens of meters tall, their trunks so thick that it took several people to hug them. The bark was covered with intricate patterns, some resembling the outlines of human faces, others like ancient runes.

Speaking of which, Lu Mingfei guessed that Arasaka was a company that developed based on the background of the dragon clan, so what they are best at should naturally be biotechnology.

Lu Mingfei felt that most of these plants did not seem to be products of this era.

these are.
"A secret paradise built to mimic the dragons' past habitat."

The reverberating buzzing sound was mixed with an uncomfortable sound of electricity, and Lu Mingfei knew the other party's identity without even thinking.

He turned his head and looked at the center of the explosion. There, in the air three floors underground, there were phosphorescent spores floating. They were caused by the explosion when Lu Mingfei fell with the heavy hammer on Adam.

Although at the critical moment he used his intelligence of up to [15] to force himself to imitate Chu Zihang's blood bursting skills, he managed to burst his blood once and successfully hit Adam's heavy hammer head-on.

but.
There was a feeling of hitting the target, but there was no sense of victory at all.

[That thing was made from some of Fenrir's remains.]

Fenrir. Is this name the Dragon King?

If prosthetics are made from the remains of hybrids, Deadpool, and even dragons, then it goes without saying that the higher the level of pure-blooded dragon, the better the level and effect of the prosthetic will naturally be.

If the opponent was a Dragon King-level cyborg, it was no wonder that he was so suppressed during the first battle with him.

(From the battle process, it can be seen that he has brute strength that can withstand the gravity of the cybernetic King Kong, and the vitality of a blood bull.)
That is
The opponent took Lu Mingfei's exaggerated attack, but did not die.

The soles of the boots crushed the leaves of the giant fern, making a sound like metal friction.

The heavy hammer revealed its figure.

At this moment, he looked extremely hideous - his face, which was hit head-on by Lu Mingfei, was now sunken, and his cheekbones were strangely wavy, like a tin mask that had been run over by a hydraulic press.

The right eye socket was compressed into a tilted crack, exposing the sparking mechanical prosthetic eye frame behind the sphere - the bionic eyeball was now stuck under the collapsed brow bone, and the optic nerve bundle hung on the charred cheek like a swollen maggot.

The broken cartilage of the bridge of the nose rolled and pierced the skin, the titanium alloy skeleton of the face was embedded in the swamp of flesh and blood, and some dark red blood plasma was flowing back into the throat from the deformed nostrils.

"Ha ha!"

Lu Mingfei laughed.

"What? The blood from Adam's hammer is sometimes red~"

"."

Adam Chongchui didn't say anything, but just grinned and showed his sharp teeth in response to Lu Mingfei's laughter. Sporadic laughter gradually rose, and the sound was like rusty gears rubbing against each other.

Lu Mingfei did not let his guard down.

He had just hit Adam head-on with a heavy hammer but the monster still didn't die. God knows how strong this guy is - if this was the so-called native cyberpunk world, it would be fine, but this guy is a super biochemical human with dragon blood mixed in his body.

The words "imitating the living environment of the dragon clan" also made Lu Mingfei alert.

This guy knows about the dragon clan.

Different from other mercenaries, or even the company dogs of the Arasaka family.

This guy knows about the dragon world!

"You seem confused?"

The already deep voice became even stranger after the nasal tube was destroyed, but inexplicably one could feel the chilling mockery of the heavy hammer.

"Do you think you're the only one who knows about dragons?"

"Hehe, he's just a clever hacker—"

【Om—】

As the heavy hammer taunted him, the armor on his right arm suddenly cracked, revealing a mechanical chamber wrapped in a quartz tube, with pale golden liquid boiling in the pipe.

That is
Puff——————

The liquid was injected into the mechanical elbow of Adam's Hammer, and then began to climb upwards. The bionic bones inside made crackling sounds, and the armor began to 'shed', and the rugged structure replaced the previous tactical vest.

Bronze cipher text had been floating on the dark surface at some point, a bit like program code, but the shape seemed familiar to Lu Mingfei for some reason.

Wait, that's——

Dragon text! ?
This guy!
"Are you surprised? But for the bigwigs up there, this isn't high-tech at all."

!

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank into vertical lines.

The dragon scales brought by the blood rush were growing wildly along his spine, forming bronze bone armor under his skin.

In front of him, scarlet laser beams shot out from the armored shoulders of Adam's Hammer!

That intense temperature could probably turn the alloy into mashed potatoes directly, at an astonishing speed.

But Lu Mingfei moved faster. He suddenly twisted his left hand into a dislocated joint and swung it towards the laser beam.

The scaly fist tore the laser beam into pieces, which fell on the leaves of unknown species in the surrounding botanical garden, burning black holes. Lu Mingfei didn't care about his performance because the heavy hammer had disappeared from the spot.

call----

The sound of the wind could no longer capture the two people at that moment.

【Buzz! ————】

Sian Westin, start at the same time!

For warriors at this level, time slowing is just a rudimentary prosthetic.

Compared to David, Sian Westin on the heavy hammer will only be faster!

The colors faded and the two bodies collided.

In an instant, the light in the entire botanical garden was distorted, and the bursting light and shadow covered everything.

Lu Mingfei's arms were covered with flowing scales, which immediately transformed into pitch-black chainsaw swords. The blade instantly broke through the sound barrier, embedded itself into the gaps in the enemy's armor, and pulled out nerve pathways that were emitting electric sparks.

The hydraulic arm of Adam's hammer ejected the mantis blade that had been prepared long ago, and sawed a waterfall of blood along Lu Mingfei's ribs.

The collision between the two was only a moment, but it brought about a grand bang and spread. The ground suddenly collapsed into a quicksand-like vortex, and the trees broke their waists and the fibers were pulled into narrow and twisted dense threads!
The aftermath of the shock turned into sound waves that destroyed the earth and the sea of ​​trees!
They quickly separated, smashing a half-story-high rock along the way. Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and used [Don't Die] to repair his wounds.

The heavy hammer fell heavily to the ground, and he glanced at his wound casually.

then
Snap, snap, snap
Lu Mingfei had torn a large wound on his ribs, but Chongchui didn't seem to care - after all, this guy's pain nerves were probably damaged a long time ago.

"A madman whose transformation rate exceeds 95%. People say you're special simply because you were already crazy before the prosthetic transformation~"

Lu Mingfei grinned and spat blood foam violently onto the ground. While talking trash to attract Chongchui's attention, he was also giving himself the right time to use [Don't Die].

"Stupid rumor."

The heavy hammer was fooled.

"If it's just because I'm crazy—doesn't that mean I'm just like that bunch of idiots in the Terrorist Squad?"

"Haha! I don't think you are much harder to deal with than the Terrorist Squad~" Lu Mingfei stuck out his tongue and tried hard to increase his hatred, but he did feel in his heart that the Mantis Girl from the Terrorist Squad was equally difficult to deal with.

"You're free to think that way—but knowing our past, do you really think so?"

!

The distorted sound of the hammer was full of mockery.

"Lu Mingfei, I investigated you before coming here."

"You seem to think you've pulled off a lot of brilliant moves, that you can evade Arasaka's pursuit. But in reality, not only have you failed to escape the sight of even a single employee of the Arasaka Counterintelligence Organization, you're even less likely to escape the surveillance of Arasaka's top brass."

"After all—you're S-rank."

【——————】

Lu Mingfei's expression changed.

He actually heard some familiar terms in this world.

S-level. Your own bloodline level?
".What am I?"

"Hahaha! Are you finally speaking frankly?"

Chongchui laughed loudly, but perhaps this fighting maniac was really happy, and he seemed to really want to open his mouth to respond to Lu Mingfei.

Unfortunately, he didn't give the answer.

"You have abnormal intelligence. The guys on Arasaka called you a modern-day Batmos. You should have been able to obtain information through hacking techniques a long time ago, right?"

"You know—a hundred years ago, in our time. The time of the mixed-bloods!"

Adam Hammer opened his arms.

"After that great war, we usurped the torch of the world! We took the stage we deserved!"

"Shaping the world into its proper form has forged this great era."

is that so.

Lu Mingfei's face was gloomy.

This world evolved from a world similar to our own.

He still didn't know why history didn't match up, but what was certain was that the predecessor of this world was the world of the dragon clan.

Although we don’t know what exactly happened in between, it seems that humans successfully defeated the dragons.

Not only that, [a certain force] among the hybrids used this victory as a springboard to successfully overwhelm and subvert the world, forming the current situation.

Even yourself.

David too.

They are just half-bloods who are not allowed to know the 'truth'.

Some of the mixed-bloods were brought into the company as if they were being summoned, and were working for them. Come to think of it, Morgan Blackhand, who ranked first on the mercenary list, seemed to be an employee of Military Technology.

To put it bluntly, [the company] controls everything.

A corporate dog like me must have been targeted from the very beginning.

Has everything I've done so far been monitored by Arasaka?
[For me, Night City is just a cage]

What flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind were the words Lucy had once said to him.

The same goes for me, big sister.

Being targeted since birth, he thought he was fighting for his freedom, but in fact he was being watched by the company from beginning to end, like a pet dog running around in a small room.

Interests, resources, rights.

How much money did these high-ranking bastards plunder to establish such a stable regime? How could they treat people like pigs?
It's really frustrating.
Lu Mingfei's face was covered in darkness.

Work hard to survive.

The tragedy of David and Lucy's unrequited love.

Is all this inevitable at the hands of humans, the so-called "fate"?

What do these damn companies think they are?

"What about you?"

"Ok?"

Lu Mingfei fixed his sharp eyes on Adam's hammer, while the latter snorted in confusion.

"I'm talking about you. What do you mean by 'you and us'? Hybrids are just other people, after all. You were just hired by Arasaka as a mercenary, right? Don't take yourself too seriously."

"Don't you feel like you're being used as a tool? Do you feel comfortable groveling and cringing before those high-ranking figures?"

Lu Mingfei raised his middle finger without hesitation.

"That Master Heavy Hammer is truly an incredible masochist!"

"."

And the heavy hammer did not respond.

He just stomped on the ground with a grim smile, then rushed forward again!
Ha, I’m anxious!!!
