Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 63 The Past: Chariots (IV)

"Hey, Boros, where are you taking us?"

Rottweiler clawed at the window of the floating car, and couldn't stop looking at the looming neon night scene below.

"Hunting... a prey that has been on the run for more than a year." Boros whispered, the tip of his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, and his teeth clenched, as if trying to sharpen a spark.

"Besides those Kangtao's battle robots, is there anyone else who can escape from the Terrorist Mobile Team?" Melissa asked a little strangely. From her experience, the Terrorist Mobile Team has never missed except for that one time. example of.

"The relationship between hunter and prey is always relative..." Boros shook his head, "Sometimes you search along the branch-like footprints on the ground, thinking that you are just catching a chick, but in fact it may be a ferocious raptor. dragon!"

"Oh, Captain, you're showing off literature like a bear trying to knit a sweater!" Bit teased, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

"The metaphors of both of you are pretty bad, what you said is not human, I'm going to be sick." Rottweiler is worthy of being a heroine, and tied Boros and Bit together.

"Smile more now, you won't be able to laugh later." Boros glanced at the team members who were playing around, and said coldly.

"Wow." Rottweiler made a face at the captain with a cold face.

Melissa looked at them, her fingertips kept tapping the brand-new thick armor on her body anxiously, and the melody was as rapid as a torrential rain.

"Say a few words, look at our newcomers, they are all very nervous." Bittian developed a stinky mouth, even if he rarely spoke human words, there was a smell of yin and yang.

Melissa raised her eyebrows and just nodded silently.

Her neck was tightly shrunk, and she unconsciously hid her face in the gap between moonlight and shadows.

Rottweiler glanced at Melissa, sighed softly, grabbed her hand, and conveyed calm emotions with the palm of his hand.

"Calm down..." Dila repeated psychological hints to herself as she looked at the slightly crooked rearview mirror.

A minute ago, he completed the fat order at the fastest speed, and the joy burst out of his chest, like a vine, tightly grasping all his brain nerves.

One minute later, he received a call from his wife. Worry, anger, sorrow, sorrow, regret, hate, humiliation, almost all the negative emotions that human beings can have are all gathered together, and they want to crucify him severely in sin. on the cross.

He suddenly roared, pushed the reverse gear hard, and stepped on the accelerator hard.

The old taxi seems to have been infected by the owner, the tires are rubbing against the asphalt road, and the outdated engine is also screaming hoarsely.

The black car body is like a matte sharp sword, held by him, stabbing hard into the traffic, and the red taillight is the scarlet blood spattered out.

The sound of crashing cars, cursing, horns, and brakes together constituted the wailing of the victim, which was extremely ear-piercing under the boundless night sky.

Even the designer of this car probably never imagined that someone could drive this pile of scrap iron at a speed faster than a top sports car.

The black shadow screamed upstream, and the bustling and hustle and bustle of the colorful ocean in Night City couldn't stop his footsteps at all.

Every time his footprints reached a place, the torrent of that place would be completely cut off by him.

"Pick up the phone! Old guy! Fuck, answer the phone!"

The speed per hour has already exceeded the limit that the meter can record. This old beast that he secretly modified showed the crazy silhouette of the mad dragon for the first and last time today.

Crazy has already occupied the brain, and he will never stop moving forward until he finds the old guy who disappeared.

Yes, old Rui Fan is missing.

From the moment his wife anxiously called, all the ominous premonitions came true.

An old man, a guide, a teacher and a friend, a father-in-law...

What exactly does Rui Fan mean to him.

Dila didn't know it herself, she just welded the soles of her feet to the gas pedal, and turned into a shadow without a trace, including the people and the car, shuttling through all the streets, big and small, in the entire Night City.

The old mobile phone had been distorted and deformed by his excessive grip, so he simply threw it on the passenger seat, holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands, and it completely turned into a gust of wind.

"Gloria, help me! I found a driver who is willing to take us to the hospital!" The male doctor White shouted, calling for the red-haired woman who was looking for a kind driver on several other streets to come back.

"***! Thanks buddy!" Panting heavily, Gloria ran over and slapped the kind driver, a burly man, on the back.

Standing aside, the young assistant, bent over and panting, had just returned from another street.

The burly man didn't seem to expect that the red-haired woman had such a strong hand, and the sunglasses she was wearing on her face were almost blown away by the force.

"Ahem, life is at stake, let's carry him into the car." Mann frowned, staring down at the old man lying on the stretcher.

Death's breath was approaching, blowing a foul stench in his ears.

"Damn! The vital signs are weak again, hurry up and get on the car." Gloria yelled, and she had been paying attention to the instrument display next to the stretcher.

The old man's condition is getting worse and worse, and I'm afraid he won't last long.

Mann nodded, put down the back of the car seat without hesitation, and lifted the old man into the car.

The car radio was still on, but suddenly switched from blaring music to news reports.

"Good evening, Night City! The following is an urgent message. The roads from the city center to Westbrook and Watson are all blocked! An unprecedented traffic jam! The road designer of Night City must ask He was pulled out to flog the corpse! The reason is unknown... Oh no! According to the front-line reporter's report, it was a cyber lunatic driving a... taxi at a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour! That's right, a taxi! It completely disrupted the entire Traffic in the city!"

Mann slammed the steering wheel of the car. The hospitals capable of treating this old man are all in the city center, and now all the roads are blocked...

"Do you want to give up?" Mann asked the three medical team in the back seat, his tone was a little depressed, and he kindly offered to help, but it fell on his hand.

"Go..." Gloria had just uttered the first syllable when a harsh sound of brakes stopped in front of their car surrounded by strong wind and thunder.

"I found you." A man got out of the car with twitching limbs, ran over staggeringly, and put his face on the rear window of Mann's car.

"What's the matter, you..."

"He's my dad...Thank you for saving him...Leave it to me." Dila interrupted the male doctor's question roughly, ran back to her car, and used brute force to push the unstoppable The rear seats were all removed.

"Leave it to me..." Dilla repeated.

Those blue eyes were filled with scarlet that was gradually going mad.
