Chapter 94 Three people with nowhere to go

"My method works! I can stop those tentacles!"

Seeing those tentacles being pushed around by his own bullets, Peacock suddenly became energetic.

The two Lexingtons fired a total of 40 bullets, which was enough for the peacocks to form a barrage to block the tentacles that wanted to attack them.

"Woo!"

As the pickup truck's engine roared again, Takemura had successfully driven through the checkpoint controlled by the behemoth.

At Pica's current speed, in just a few breaths, they were out of reach of those disgusting tentacles.

"Ah! Wall of Sighs!"

When everyone saw the blue-black city wall in front of them, everyone couldn't help but cheer, and even Takemura, who had always had a straight face, couldn't help but smile.

"It's really not easy!"

Looking at the monsters that were still entangled with those Arasaka soldiers, Peacock also let out a sigh of relief.

The total distance from their safe house to the red dot on the navigation device is 16.7 kilometers.

Normally this would only be a thirty-minute drive at most, but the 16 kilometers they walked was too difficult.

Just now, only 3 kilometers away from the city wall, Peacock and Zhucun lost all cover and had to get out of the car and fight the enemy bloodyly.

At that time, Takemura and Peacock were mentally prepared that they might not be able to get through, so they worked so hard.

After finally crossing that hurdle, the remaining 2.6 kilometers were indeed relaxing and enjoyable.

Since Peacock and the others discovered it, both Military Technology and Arasaka International have concentrated their forces to stop these wanted criminals on the spot.

In order to concentrate their forces to deal with the two powerful fugitives, the two major companies mobilized their men, so there was no one guarding the last 2.6 kilometers of straight road.

"Hurry! Hurry up! Takemura, that thing seems to be chasing us."

Although the sighing wall seemed to be right in front of him, the peacock urged him even more urgently.

At this time, he was still in the car, so he could see it more clearly than anyone else.

After they rushed past the huge monster, the thing quickly turned around and began chasing the departing pickup truck.

Considering that the thing is now over 15 meters tall, he can stride more than ten meters in one step. So the thing seems to be moving slowly, but its speed is not slow at all.

Although he was not sure that the behemoth was targeting them, Peacock did not dare to take it lightly. With his urging, Takemura did not dare to slow down the car at all.

The coordinates given by Meredith completely coincided with a certain section of the city wall. This section of the city wall was quite remote, and the nearest city gate was 5 kilometers away.

This place is usually an inaccessible wasteland, so except for this road parallel to the city wall, there are only weeds about half a person tall and garbage everywhere.

Although the place is very dilapidated, this also makes everyone believe that they are in the right place.

If there is indeed a secret passage through the Wall of Sighs, it would certainly be in a place where birds don't poop, and it must be cleverly hidden.

Looking at the city wall getting closer, Peacock hoped that the mechanism to open the secret passage would not be too complicated, because they did not have time to search carefully.

After Zhucun speeded up again, Peacock discovered that the giant thing behind them had also speeded up. This was not good news, because it proved that the thing was indeed chasing them.

Given the size of a gigantic creature, once that thing started running it would definitely shake the earth.

But that thing pursued Pica very persistently, and now even living humans could no longer attract him.

"Sandra!"

When they were still 800 meters away from the city wall, Zhucun sent out a reminder.

Upon hearing this, the female hacker immediately pulled down her VR glasses and began to scan the coordinates.

In order to find the secret passage to the target location more easily, Sandra deleted all the apps that were not used temporarily and replaced them with various scanning software.

"Underground space scanning is in progress..."

"Retrieving nearby electronic signals..."

"Searching for metal objects at coordinate point locations..."

As the electronic sound continued to sound reminders, Sandra was already on full fire.

When she started working, she was full of confidence.

With this complete set of technical means, she believed that she would soon discover something.

Since she was looking for a secret passage, she could determine where the secret passage was as long as she found where there was an abnormal space underground.

In addition, a large number of abnormal metal reactions must be a clear indication, because there is most likely the entrance to the secret passage.

After about 20 seconds, the female hacker went from being full of confidence to becoming disappointed, and finally she simply shouted out.

"Peacock? What should I do? I can't find anything unusual. There doesn't seem to be a secret passage here!"

Listening to Sandra's shouting, both men changed their colors at the same time.

If there really is no secret passage here, or they can't find the secret passage, what will be the outcome waiting for the four of them?

Except for Amber, the other three people are very clear.

From the moment they stepped out of the safe house today, everyone knew they had no way out.

Today I either leave the city or die in the city. Other than that, there is no other possibility.

"Peacock! Meredith must have lied to you!

This is what people in the military science and technology industry are like. They are not trustworthy, and they will even lie to their own relatives! "

When Zhucun roared like this, the car was only 600 meters away from the city wall.

Although the red dot was still ahead, Takemura could no longer suppress the panic in his heart.

"You're talking nonsense! My mother never lies to me!"

You are a bad person, you all lied to me, I want my mother, ahhhh!”

Although he was always wearing those big headphones, Kohaku still heard Takemura's yelling.

When she heard someone slandering her mother, the little girl who had always seemed very well-behaved exploded.

She was crying and yelling at Zhucun. If Sandra hadn't hugged her quickly, she might even go up and scratch Hua Zhucun's face.

Looking at the chaos in the cab, Peacock didn't know what to say now.

He got the current coordinates from Meredith. Considering the environment Meredith was in at that time, the woman had no motive to lie to him.

But the question now is where is the secret passage? Not whether Meredith can deceive Peacock.

Seeing that they were about to reach the finish line, they had not found the mysterious passage yet.

Could it be that the peacock will shout "open sesame" later, and then their car can rush through the city wall and escape through the secret passage?

After shouting twice in a row, Zhucun didn't wait for Peacock's answer. This made Zhucun secretly sigh, because he knew that Peacock was probably confused now.

Looking at the city wall that was already close at hand, Zhucun sighed secretly in his heart.

Now that he has arrived here, he will definitely finish the remaining 100 meters.

As for how today will end, we can only decide on fate.

When Peacock and his pickup truck were still 80 meters away from the city wall, Peacock, who had been looking ahead, finally noticed something unusual.

I don’t know how they triggered the mechanism, but Peacock saw that the ground in front of them suddenly began to sink.

In just the blink of an eye, a sloping downward passage appeared in front of what was just a wasteland, and this passage led to the bottom of the Wall of Sighs.

"This is the secret passage! Meredith really didn't lie to me!"

The scene in front of him made Peacock pound the cab with excitement, and Takemura and Sandra in the car also shouted excitedly.

Now that the secret passage is right in front of us, hope is naturally there.

Looking at the secret passage that went straight forward and finally extended into darkness, the peacock seemed to see an incomparable light.

With only 20 meters to go, they could rush into the light. But at this moment, a huge black shadow struck from behind like lightning.

"Ah! Danger!"

At this critical moment, Takemura reacted quickly with sharp eyesight.

As he turned the steering wheel violently, the pickup truck deflected a full 30 degrees.

Because it missed the pickup truck, the black shadow continued to move forward, and finally hit the wall of Sigh.

"Boom!"

When the black shadow hit the wall of sighs, the whole world seemed to tremble at this moment, and the peacock who was so close felt that his heart skipped a beat.

The Sighing Wall is the outermost city defense of the City of Night. It can be called a miracle created by humans in this apocalyptic era.

In order to separate Night City, the pearl of human civilization, from the barbaric and backward bad land, the City Hall of Night City spent a full 10 years building walls on the west and south sides of the city.

This long and winding city wall has a total length of more than 100 kilometers, with an average height of 25 meters and an average width of 12 meters.

Since the Wall of Sighs was built, it has made many creatures who covet the City of Night sigh.

With its protection, Night City has withstood several massive external crises in the past three years.

It is precisely because it is so indestructible that any enemy can only look at it with admiration, so it gets its name.

The blow just now was earth-shattering, but as the strongest defense of mankind, the Sighing Wall of Night City seemed to be able to withstand it.

"Oh! Oh no!"

Seeing that the blue city wall was already standing, a large amount of smoke and dust was pouring out from the entrance of the secret passage under the city, and the color of the peacock and Zhucun had changed.

Only under one condition will so much smoke pour out of the entrance to the secret passage - that is, the inside of the secret passage has collapsed.

When he looked at the Wall of Sighs again, the peacock couldn't help but gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Although the huge blow just hit the city wall, it did not seem to cause serious damage to the city wall.

But in fact, this blow had caused serious internal injuries inside the city wall. As the structure of the city wall was destroyed, a chain reaction occurred.

When the weight of the layers falls, the secret passage just under this section of the city wall will definitely not be able to support it, so the secret passage should have been filled in by now.

Just when the peacock roared angrily, Takemura in the car had his mouth full of blood.

After realizing what the strange thing had done to their secret passage, Takemura bit his lip hard.

Because he used too much force, his mouth was full of blood, but he didn't even notice it.

Although he was extremely reluctant, the uncle made a wise decision at the next moment.

As he turned the steering wheel hard, the pickup truck immediately turned to the right at an extreme angle.

When it finally completed the right-angle turn, the car was already stuck against the city wall, and a wisp of sparks appeared on the door.

"Takemura, what are you doing? Why don't we seize the opportunity and rush in! Maybe, maybe the secret passage has not collapsed yet?"

Looking at the entrance to the secret passage that was left behind, Sandra couldn't help but get furious.

Just when she was about to say something else, an even louder noise came from behind.

Following a tremor that shook the ground, more smoke and dust poured out from the entrance of the secret passage, and then the city wall above the entrance cracked like a biscuit.

The debris of the Wall of Sighs fell like raindrops, and the entrance to the passage was completely buried almost instantly.

Only then did Sandra realize how ridiculous she had just yelled at Takemura.

If Zhucun wanted to try his luck like her, then all of them would be buried alive under that city wall now.

"It's the tentacle of that monster! The blow from that thing is so terrifying!"

As the smoke gradually dispersed, Peacock could still clearly see the culprit that caused the city wall to collapse.

On the city wall not far behind, a black tentacle was inserted.

Looking at the exposed length of the thing, Peacock knew that the monster's tentacles should have penetrated that section of the city wall, so the city wall collapsed.

"It's the monster! It's really the monster!"

When the peacock saw this scene clearly, the hairs all over his body stood up.

He knew that thing was scary, but he didn't expect it to be so scary.

Now the peacock had the most intuitive understanding of the monster's strength, so when he saw the thing waving the other three tentacles, the peacock immediately screamed.

"Takemura! Be careful!"

Amidst the peacock's screams, the behemoth shot out the remaining three of the four main tentacles in one go.

Each of these four main tentacles is thicker than an adult's body, and their speed can easily exceed the speed of sound.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the three tentacles heading straight for the pickup truck were like lightning, and only a transformation warrior of Takemura's level could make correct evasive movements.

"Hoo ho ho!"

As three strong winds swept past, the peacock knew that they had avoided those tentacles.

What would happen if the pickup truck just now was hit by those tentacles? Just thinking about this possibility, Peacock couldn't help but feel terrified.

If they are drawn, even if they are just touched, they will have nothing to do again.

"Mr. Peacock! Think of a solution quickly. What should we do now? Where do you want me to drive the car now?"

Just when Peacock was frightened by this, he was awakened by Zhucun's roar.

Takemura is a master, so he has always been extremely calm.

Even when he was surrounded by the heavy armored troops of Xing's army, he could still calm down, but now this uncle was shouting at the top of his lungs at the peacock.

Based on this alone, Peacock can know how desperate Zhucun is now.

"Yeah, what should we do now?"

Takemura's roar brought Peacock back to the cruel reality, and it definitely gave people a splitting headache.

For various reasons, the three adults and one child here are no longer tolerated by Night City.

Takemura Goro is now identified as the traitor who assassinated the previous president Arasaka. Arasaka also accused him of conspiring to instigate feelings between Lord Raixuan and Miss Hanako in an attempt to subvert the Arasaka family.

Legally speaking, Sandra Dorsett is now a dead person.

Because of her cousin Ralph Dorsett's public announcement, Sandra not only lost her inheritance rights to the Dorsett Group, but now she also became a time bomb that her cousin must get rid of.

On this point, Military Technology and Ralph Dorsett's position is consistent.

For some unknown reason, Military Technology, the backer of the Dorset Group, chose to support Ralph instead of the legitimate heir Sandra when the family was in civil strife.

Of course, such a thing is extremely disgraceful, and as long as Sandra lives, she may threaten Ralph, so the danger Sandra faces is no less than Takemura.

As for the little girl Amber who is only 8 years old, she has definitely not harmed anyone, nor has she had any conflict of interest with anyone, but who made her mother Meredith?

This woman who was once a tiger in military technology has been declared a spy who colluded with both inside and outside to try to use military technology at a disadvantage.

As Meredith's only living direct relative, Amber will definitely be implicated.

It is now 2077, and the provisions implicating the nine tribes must have been deleted from the legal documents of Night City.

But in fact, as long as possible, anyone who likes to do evil things would like to kill them all and eradicate them all.

Even though Amber is just a little girl, she will definitely grow up, so many people are willing to see her lying obediently in the public cemetery in Night City.

Takemura, Sandra and Kohaku are all desperate people, but compared with Peacock, they are not the worst.

Takemura, Sandra and Kohaku only offended one of the two Big Macs, but Peacock offended both of them.

In addition to Arasaka and his enemies of military technology, he is also chasing after a shoe cult that claims to be an organization of scientists.

Although those people keep saying how well-intentioned they are towards Peacock and how much they love peace, Peacock will never believe in an organization that can turn itself into a monster.

Today, Peacock and the others are desperate to get out of the city, and their biggest reliance is the coordinates Meredith sent before she died.

Under this coordinate point is a certain secret passage that can lead out of the city, and Peacock and the others followed the map and found the secret passage.

In order to get here alive, everyone in the pickup truck tried their best. But just when they were about to leave, that damn monster ruined everyone's hopes.

"What else can we do? Let us each do what we are best at!

Now, Uncle Takemura, please stop the car.

I want to settle a score with that damn old goat, and as for you, you'd better run as far as you can with the two girls."

Listening to Peacock's angry words, Takemura couldn't help but wanted to say something. But when he glanced at the reflector, he shut his mouth.
