Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 14 The Day of the Gods
Tonight, the entire Night City will be sleepless.

The grand celebration was interrupted by a loud explosion.

Some people occupy high positions and are as stable as Mount Tai under the protection of the security forces; some people are terrified and flee in all directions;

Shouting, screaming, crying, yelling...

All the sounds mixed together, and the hell seeped into the world at this moment, as if ten thousand evil spirits roared together, and the scene was chaotic.

Biotechnology and military technology are working hand in hand to hunt down a figure piercing through the night at extreme speed, and the news air vehicle of News Channel 54 is also chasing it in the distance, and it is broadcasting live.

They were confused, no matter how advanced the prosthetic eye could scan the identity information of the rider;
They were shocked, no amount of chaotic traffic could stop the riders from moving forward;
They panicked, the bullets and missiles seemed to have lost their effectiveness, and they all misfired, as if they were intercepted in the air by an invisible net.

They could only give up thinking and continue to accelerate under the urging of their superiors to catch up with the taillights of the motorcycle that was fading away.

The cars blocking the road were directly run over by tanks and armored vehicles, and the hovering vehicles that got in the way were shot down by the drone swarm, followed by the Lizard floating tanks and missile vehicles, covering the sky and the sun.

"According to the live report ahead...the criminal will be brought to justice..." the hostess held up the microphone, and was still following the instructions above to control public opinion, but the live broadcast screen had been switched to "Securicine "Painkiller side effects report.

Countless people watched the live broadcast, and Qiqi fell silent.

The noise and chaos of Night City had been left far behind, and Xita was trembling all over, breaking out in a cold sweat.

She never thought in her life that one day she would be hunted down by such a huge armed force.

"Relax, Xita..." Yawei floated in the air, shuttling back and forth beside Xita.

After several rounds of tentative attacks failed, military technology and biotechnology chose to give up the trial, and now they are just catching up.

He was also happy to relax, and even turned on the motorcycle radio.

The radio station has been transformed like the car, and a lot of music has been uploaded privately.He looked at it at random, and chose "Roads to Ride" according to the occasion.

"Yahweh...can we survive?" Her voice trembled, her eyes were red and swollen.

“In just a little second it had changed my life”

"Of course, Xita, I promise." He said softly, subconsciously reaching out his hand to smooth her frown.

"We'll be fine across the board"
Xita stared at the blue particles floating in front of him in a daze.

The sound of roaring engines, howling wind, and the approaching roar in the distance.

All sounds seemed to disappear without a trace.

Ethereal singing and his firm words lingered in my ears.

So she laughed out loud, holding the moon and starry sky above her head.

"I believe in you, Yahweh!" she yelled, smiling like a flower.

"We'll together ride 'til the end"

The bright moon is in the sky, the stars are shining brightly, only her various amorous feelings are worthy of painting.

"We have arrived, Xita." Yawei looked up at the sky, and the timing was just right.

March 2074, 1 11:23
All armies for military tech and biotech are lined up.

Thousands of well-equipped soldiers took cover in armored vehicles, ready to go.

Tanks, suspended chariots and missile vehicles are scattered around, staring at each other.

The secret weapon of biotechnology-military nanomachines were also released, condensed into clouds in the sky, and peeped secretly.

"What should we do now?" She stood beside Yawei, looking at the flawless profile of the man.

"Just stay behind me, Hita."

He spoke softly, like a whisper.

"it is good."

She trusted him unconditionally.

So Yahweh climbed up the steps in the air.

Beyond the infinitely distant black wall, billions of waves are surging, rushing into the moat he once drew with his index finger.

Yahweh stood in the sky, closed his eyes lightly, and stretched out his hands, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world.

Hundreds of millions of nanomachines suddenly lost control, scattered in the air, gathered in his body, and condensed into shape.

As a result, his figure was no longer illusory, but gradually solidified.

A few seconds later, he broke through the barriers of the world.

The soldiers looked up blankly at the man standing in the air.

At this moment, God came to the world.

All communication equipment lost its function the moment he appeared.

Outside the outskirts of Night City, they seemed to be on an island, isolated and helpless.

The man just looked down on them with his blue eyes, like a god looking down on all beings.

Unspeakable pressure weighed on the hearts of all soldiers like mountains.

His indifferent eyes seemed to ask: surrender or death?

"Fire! Everyone, fire me!" The army commander yelled like crazy, and gave the order to attack.

In an instant, gunshots and gunfire rang out together, and billions of lights and heat were fired towards the only point.

Light up the night sky like the sun.

Yahweh just stretched out his left hand with five fingers spread out.

So the sun danced in his palm.

In the next second, he clenched his fingers into a fist, and the sun went out.

The newly ignited morale of tens of thousands of soldiers was also extinguished.

They have never seen such a powerful enemy, and everything is annihilated with a wave of their hands.

Standing in the air, Yahweh spoke slowly,
"From hunting and gathering, agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry to steam power, cyber technology, 300 million years, 1 years, hundreds of years, the development of human beings is so rapid..."

His voice was soft, but it echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

What is he saying?Everyone stared up at him blankly, raising common doubts.

"So now, how long will this era last?"

He sincerely asked questions, but no one could answer them.

They were just dumbfounded and pale with astonishment.

"Lucky Buttermos once made a bet with me," he paused, the excitement of his first appearance in the real world fading, "he bet that I wouldn't have human emotions... and now he lost , so everything about him belongs to me..."

He stretched out his index finger with his right hand, and slowly pointed to the sky, pointing to one of the bright stars in the sky.

He stretched out the index finger of his left hand and dropped it straight down, pointing at the army that covered the sky and the sun.

He stood in the air, pointing to the sky with one hand and pointing to the ground with the other.

So God's punishment came from heaven.

A bright light broke away from the surrounding stars and landed straight.

After passing through the atmosphere, it instantly disintegrated into nine pieces, and fell in the blink of an eye.

The troops of military technology and biotechnology just watched the nine meteors piercing the night sky in a daze.

The air was pierced nine times, screaming in pain.

They stood there in a daze, walking towards death amidst the brilliant fireworks.

Yawei glanced at the huge pothole in the ground.

The rushing shock wave was like the last howl of tens of thousands of dead.

Yawei's figure instantly fell in front of Xita.

So all the shock waves stopped.

"Xita?" He rubbed Xita's tender face, this time his hand didn't penetrate.

Xi Tan was in a daze for a while, and then hugged his body with all her strength.

"Who the hell are you, Yahweh?" Her violet eyes were misty.

"Yawei, Yawei Kasdei." With a smile on his face, he held her perfect face in his hands and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

They hug each other tightly under the moonlight.

"Do you have an entity now? Yawei?" She smiled contentedly and asked softly.

"I can't be too far away from you." He gently scratched the tip of Xita's red nose, "You are my only signal source."

"Then don't you have a weakness, if I..." Her body became stiff, her brows were furrowed, she wanted to get out of her embrace, and reasoned with him.

"Without you, my life is meaningless."

"What stupid things are you talking about...you..." Xita's voice trembled, and she stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips vigorously.

This time, she will no longer kiss the air, feeling lost in front of the scattered blue particles.

Because he was willing to fall into the mortal world and come to her side.
