Chapter 427 Walking in the Rain
The Iron Soldier is an armored robot. It may not be as agile as a human, but its powerful power allows it to carry enough weapons and hard enough armor to avoid most light weapons and explosion damage.
Atlas also needs similar armed units. Even in Night City, with such a big reputation, Lear must ensure that he will not be shot.
Adecado also needs these things to run the line.
"Brother!" Joestar drove a small van to chase behind Mackinaw, stretched his head and shouted at Lear, "20-56 Ellen Street is in front!"
When we got here, there were fewer people and no prostitutes.
Because there were more and more dark corners, the encirclement was advancing much slower, and people could also realize that there was an unusual atmosphere in the air.
Especially here, there were fewer and fewer cars. Although Mackinaw covered it with a simple shell, if you look closely, you can still see what the people inside are doing.
Squeak——
In the rear cargo compartment, Jack could hear the sound of welding, the collision of armor, and the hum of gears and motors working together.
The lights and the dazzling light of welding flashed alternately in front of him. He watched the pieces of armor fit together, the power systems came online one after another, and the lizard serum in his heart was injected more and more, and the power surged up.
It was the boy's dream come true.
[Name: XS-1 Power Exoskeleton (Half-Frame)]
[Description: After a long period of research and practice, the strength of graphene-alloy composite materials as structural parts has been proven to be reliable.
We have also successfully reversed the armor-piercing alloy used in the scorpion suit and achieved mass production. This is a very expensive but very versatile super-hard alloy.
The XS-1 Power Exoskeleton takes the overall structure of the exoskeleton to a higher level, with a more stable frame, stronger power, larger size and weapon compatibility.
But there is a problem: in order to ensure that the user's consciousness will not be distorted by this powerful force, we'd better provide more complete training for the user, or let them use the latest version of the second-generation prosthesis. 】
【Note: This prototype version is a semi-frame structure adapted for Jack's prosthesis. Part of the energy will come from the lizard violent components, and the upper body weapons have no weapon interface. 】
【Function: Active defense system, power engine ammunition supply structure】
"Mano, tell me the truth, did you really make this thing with your hands?"
Squeak--click.
The torque wrench extending from the center of the octopus arm extended from the gap, and the other octopus arm covered it with force, and the lock retracted.
The last module was installed.
Bang bang.
"What else? Aren't you awake?" Lille knocked on Jack's single transparent helmet with his octopus arm, pretending to be curious, "What, are you sick? Can't believe it?"
"Mano, I don't know how to describe this feeling."
Lille smiled, and the two octopus arms opened the last safety lock. The whole body, including the weight of the burning knuckles, was released under the action of gravity--
Jack felt the feeling of using the lizard's fury for the first time for the first time in a long time!
The feeling of power surging from the heart and flowing to the limbs!
The burning knuckle gloves that used to be a little heavy and inflexible suddenly became light, and his lower body no longer felt shaky, allowing him to
punch like a boxer again, instead of flying up to give others an elbow.
Whoosh——
Jack swung his fist and the front of Mackinaw's car suddenly lifted up. Fortunately, V pulled the handbrake in time.
Bang.
"What are you two doing in the back!" V leaned out of the window and slapped the car door angrily.
"Surprise! Surprise!" Jack tilted his head, then turned back and smiled at Lear, "mano"
Jack suddenly stopped——
The front of the car just passed a building, and the NCPD police were still searching floor by floor. Jack, who had just activated the enemy search function in his helmet, saw someone on the floor holding up a rocket launcher and a sniper rifle.
The target is them!
Huh——
In the dark neighborhood, the gastritis of the rocket launcher was like a small sun, completely covering the street lights with flickering tail flames, and the bullets were hidden in it!
The joy of Jack just putting on the armor was overshadowed by his eagerness: he was in the armor, but Lille was not!
No matter how powerful the brain is, it will explode like a watermelon with just one shot!
[Active defense activated]
A line of small words popped up in the HUD in front of Jack, but he didn't notice it at all.
Several small holes in the armed backpack on the back of the armor opened, and some fast and small explosive shells shot out quickly!
Jack stepped on his big foot to protect Lille, but it was still too slow compared to the bullets
Boom!
These explosive shells fired by the magazine exploded at the same time in the sky, and the shock wave and flame formed a circle of circular explosion curtains, and the shock wave seemed to form an invisible wall!
The first wall blocked the bullets that were about to hit Lear and the car. The shock wave gave the bullets lateral momentum, and these bullets passed by the two people with the fragments!
The second wave of explosions followed, completely detonating the rockets at a higher altitude!
Bang!
The front of Mackinaw's car suddenly tilted up and hit the ground.
Under the flames, the octopus arm patted Jack on the shoulder.
"You have to get out of the car now - do what you are best at."
Jack understood, bent his legs, accumulated strength, and stared at the gradually dispersing smoke.
Boom!
The two-meter-high giant armor jumped up, and the jet turbofans of the elbows and two calves worked together. In the horrified eyes of the crowd, it jumped five meters high and punched into the building!
However, Mackinaw's luck was not so good. This kick directly broke the chassis of the entire car, and the front of the car did not come down after it was lifted up.
"Fuck!" V slapped the steering wheel hard---
It was obviously undriveable!
"Ah!!"
Bang!
A scavenger was thrown out of the building and hit the wall of the opposite building. The huge force made him "stick" to the wall!
"Monster, fuck!"
The screams and the miserable situation suddenly alerted people!
There was a trembling cry from the dark corner, bullets and grenades were fired, and the battle was about to start!
The barrage of bullets shot out from the front that had not yet been occupied. The octopus arm grabbed the broken Mackinaw car board as a shield, and the two octopus arms used as feet, and quickly came to the front of the car-
At this time, V in the car had just taken out his gun and was thinking about how to escape.
Lille opened the car door: "Get out of the car quickly!"
"You have a conscience."
For some reason, V suddenly laughed, pointed the gun at the enemy, and hung one hand on Lille's shoulder-
The trigger was pulled, and some strange ideas suddenly came to V's mind:
I heard that drivers of wealthy people will hold umbrellas for them when they get off the car
I have never been held an umbrella by someone when it rains, but will it feel like this?
The rain of bullets in the sky seemed like the never-ending rain in Night City, hitting the iron plate with a crackling sound, the explosion bloomed like fireworks, and the reflection of the sight flashed like crystal in the rain
A row of bullets shot out from the gaps in the shield, and two scavengers who were about to pull the grenade ring fell down.
Jack reached out from the building, and the huge glove grabbed the wall under the action of magnetism. With a sudden force, the huge armor climbed up, and a large piece of concrete was buckled down and hit another unlucky guy's head.
NCPD, Mox and the people in the alley were shooting wildly, and this kind of shooting used to last for a long time
But this time, the three guys who shuttled through the rain of bullets quickly advanced the front line.
The streets of Night City are filled with endless gunfire and bullets, explosions, falling limbs and bodies, and giant cyber-transformers violently demolishing buildings.
Two people walking in the rain.
V, who was hanging on Lil, suddenly whispered, "This is the first time someone has held an umbrella for me."
The sound was just enough to be covered by the sound of rain.
