Chapter 36: Johnny Silverhand and Keanu Reeves

Not only that, the car also started overtaking quickly under the control of the computer.

It was like a swimming fish, slicing through the already dense traffic flow. Suddenly, I don’t know how many cars were involved in traffic accidents because of this.

This countermeasure was quite effective. Although the sniper later fired two more shots, he failed to hit the effective part, so he could not stop the car.

Not hearing the thunderous gunshots just now, Barnes sat up straight again.

Since his arms business, Barnes has been quite willing to spend money on personal security.

He has no shortage of connections, so Barnes was able to get a car with such a high level of protection.

After being attacked, Barnes had sent out a distress call. No one was shooting at him anymore, so he was no longer nervous.

Just as he was looking back, a black shadow carrying the sound of wind suddenly rushed to the side of his car, which startled the arms dealer.

When Barnes saw clearly that it was a rider on a motorcycle, the other man just raised his submachine gun and pointed it at the big boss in the car.

The distance between the two parties was now so close that the only thing between the gun and Barnes was the glass of the car window.

"ah……"

When the knight on the road pulled the trigger hard, the arms dealer in the car subconsciously covered his face with his hands, but he reacted immediately.

All the window glass on this car is of the same level as the front windshield. It is special glass that cannot be penetrated by 5mm electromagnetic sniper bullets, let alone such small weapons.

Although the motorcyclist fired a long series of bullets, these bullets only scratched his glass a little. Other than that, they had no other effect.

"Hillbilly! Go ahead and eat shit!"

Because of this confidence, Barnes raised his middle finger and made an internationally accepted gesture towards the shooter.

"How dare you dare to mess with these ignorant people? You really don't know what to say!"

Just as Barnes was spraying the rider, he saw another motorcycle chasing him from behind.

Now there were two gunmen beside him, but Barnes was not panic at all.

He only thought it was very ridiculous for those two motorcyclists.

"What age are we in now? Do they still think they can rob someone with just a gun?"

Just thinking about being targeted by such a thing made Barnes feel insulted.

At this time, the motorcycle that was catching up from behind was already keeping pace with Barnes' car, but the rider who was catching up first was lagging behind.

In terms of power, motorcycles are definitely not as good as cars, but motorcycles are better in flexibility.

The knight driving the motorcycle can sneak into every crack, which is why he can catch up so quickly, but this also requires extremely high skills and courage on the part of the knight.

At the current high speed, if there is even a slight mistake, the iron-covered motorcycle will definitely be destroyed and there will be no second possibility.

Although he caught up with the car, the second rider did not draw his gun and shoot. He maintained the speed of the car and walked parallel to Barnes' car.

"You trash! Coward!

Don’t you even have the courage to shoot? Then why don’t you go eat shit!”

In the opinion of Barnes, this kind of behavior obviously means that the other party is timid. The arms dealer does not have to control the car, so he can slap his thigh and curse wildly.

I don't know if this behavior stimulated the other party, but the knight suddenly accelerated his speed and immediately distanced himself from the car.

After being ahead by about a few car bodies, the motorcyclist turned around and headed straight for the wall on the side of the road.

Just when the locomotive was about to hit the wall, he suddenly turned the wheel ahead, and the locomotive jumped onto the wall under the action of inertia.

"What's going on? Is this a stunt?"

This skill of flying over the wall and flying over the wall immediately made Barnes dumbfounded. Before he could understand it, the knight picked up the front wheel again and rushed towards the decorated cornice at the top of the wall.

When the front wheel of the motorcycle rubs against this section of cornice, the raised wall immediately becomes a springboard.

Under the reaction force, the rider and his motorcycle took off again. At this time, he was not moving forward, but rolling sideways, and swept across the road next to him.

As the rider flew across the street, Barnes' car came right under him.

Just as Barnes opened his mouth and made loud noises, the knight in the air clamped his legs on the motorcycle and freed his hands.

He grabbed the strange equipment slung across his chest and fired three shots at the panoramic sunroof of the car below at lightning speed.

After three shots, Barnes' car continued to roar forward, and the knight had already landed.

The violent impact damaged the car body in many places, but the knight stabilized the car at the critical moment. So he only delayed slightly, and then he caught up again.

After getting a little closer, Peacock, who had just performed a rolling stunt in public, pressed the remote control button in his hand and activated the bomb he had just shot on the roof of the car.

"Chi chi chi chi..."

In a burst of dazzling sparks and white flashes, Peacock used thermite to cut a hole in the roof of Barnes' car.

As soon as the gap opened, Jack, who had just gone to pick up Wei, quickly came closer.

After destroying the electromagnetic shielding layer of the opponent's car, the combat hackers were now firing on all cylinders.

The man in the car could use the bulletproof glass to block Nekomata's bullets before, but now he can't resist invisible hacker attacks.

As the blue light in Wei's eyes grew stronger, his intrusion protocol became more and more powerful, conquering the firewall of the opponent's vehicle and computer system.

15 seconds later, Wei had locked the car's engine. In 25 seconds, he had obtained the underlying control rights of Alina's on-board intelligent system.

"Okay, it's over!"

As the blue light in Wei's eyes flashed again, Barnes's sky-high price bulletproof smart car changed owners in the next second.

Following Wei's orders, the car slowed down and leaned toward the road.

When the car door popped open automatically, Barnes was still helplessly slapping the control screen that had become unresponsive.

"Asshole! Do you know who I am? Let me go!"

When the arms dealer was grabbed by the neck and dragged out, he still had the strength to yell.

However, the robbers had no intention of being accustomed to this successful businessman. One of them punched him hard and immediately beat Barnes into a giant shrimp.

Pulling the box that was placed on the assistant's seat, Peacock was not in a hurry to open it. He cooperated with the combat hacker and quickly completed the most basic security scan.

"Hello, Brother Flathead..."

Looking at the familiar robot inside, Peacock and Jack smiled at each other, while Wei removed the control chip from the cover and inserted it into the slot behind his ear.

"Yes, this is it, let's go!"

After 20 seconds at most, Wei finished checking the chip.

He replaced the control chip and handed the box to Jack immediately, while Peacock patted the arms dealer on the shoulder.

Looking at the two robbers who had climbed back onto the motorcycle, and then looking at the one in front of him, Barnes felt very uneasy.

Judging from the conversation between the robbers just now, the ones who robbed him were not just petty thieves. They knew exactly what was in their car, so Barnes was a little scared.

"I should be fine, right?"

Because the three robbers were all wearing masks, Barnes could not judge the expression of the robber in front of him at this moment.

However, since the other party's face cannot be seen, it also means that they are not exposed, so there is no need for the robbers to kill and silence them.

Looking at the robbers in front of him, the arms dealer tried his best to look pitiful.

Just when he thought he could get away with it, Peacock suddenly pulled out his gun and shot Barnes in the head.

Of course, Peacock and the others had no grudge against Barnes, but he had to fire this shot because this was Meredith's third commission.

Killing this unresponsive agent for Meredith and taking away his still-unheated crew-cut brother is Meredith's plan to get the best of both worlds.

"Hehe...hehe..."

Ever since he got Brother Flathead, this robot has always been held in Jack's arms.

Every few minutes, he would unzip his zipper and take a look, and then he would make such a silly smile with no meaning.

Even though he was so happy now, when Peacock walked out of Meredith's house empty-handed, he was furious.

Peacock said that he was going to seek revenge on that woman, and Jack wholeheartedly agreed with this.

He and Wei spent a lot of money to find the woman's home and sent Peacock into the villa.

After waiting for such a long time, Peacock came back and told them that not only did he not kill the woman, but he also decided to do a third thing for Meredith.

When Peacock announced his decision, Jack went crazy. He had reason to wonder if the woman knew any magic. Otherwise, how could she confuse Peacock's mind?

Among the three, Wei is always the calmest.

Under Wei's suppression, Peacock was able to finish his third deal with Meredith, and then Wei made his judgment.

"Jack, this can be done."

Although Wei hated that woman very much, he was still so fair.

With Wei around, Jack quickly regained his composure, and then the robbery just happened.

Finally getting the legendary honey badger, Wei took over the machine without hesitation.

Although I had checked Brother Pingtou before, it was just to look for possible signal trackers. Now Wei started to study it seriously.

After finally waiting for Wei to hand over Brother Flathead again, Jack immediately asked Peacock to follow him.

"Peacock! It's time to take you to see the big scene. Let's go to the Afterlife Bar!"

Carrying Flathead Brother's box on their shoulders, Jack and Peacock went straight to the most famous mercenary shrine in Night City.

Standing at the door of the Afterlife Bar, Peacock had a very strange look on his face.

This was not the first time that he heard Jack talking about the bar. Whenever Jack mentioned this place, the Spaniards would always look forward to it, which also made Peacock look forward to coming here to see the world.

However, when he actually came here, what he saw was an ordinary bar with a small facade and living in the basement.

"Peacock, how are you? Isn't the temperament of this place very special?"

When Jack asked the peacock this question, the peacock had exactly what he meant.

Of course, the bar was full of men and women, but the narrow aisles and the cramped height of the building made Peacock feel very depressed.

"Haha, of course this place is very special. Let me tell you, before the nuclear war, this place was the central building of the city.

This used to be a big icehouse where all the dead people had to stay overnight.

Then the war started, and living people lost their dignity, let alone dead ghosts?

So Lianfang first became an underground bunker, and then it was bought by an unknown boss and turned into the bar it is now. This is why it is called the Afterlife Bar.

You see, if we walked around this place that used to be a freezer, a crematorium and an autopsy room, wouldn't it be like being reincarnated again?"

"You city people have really strange tastes..."

"Haha, don't say that, you are a city dweller now and no longer a wanderer.

Peacock, although the hardware here is not as good as the bar on the street in Kabukicho, there are really big guys here.

There are many special rules in the next life, let me teach you the most basic one now, and I will teach you how to order wine here."

While saying this, Jack brought Peacock to the bar.

"Hey Claire, two Johnny Silverhands!"

Knocking lightly on the counter, Jack asked the red-haired female bartender for a drink.

The bartender named Claire didn't talk nonsense. She just nodded and started mixing a cocktail called Johnny Silverhand.

"At Afterlife Bar, all the cocktails are named after people.

As long as you are awesome enough, you can even leave an exclusive recipe and name it after yourself, of course, the premise is that you must be awesome enough."

"Is this the legendary figure you're talking about Johnny Silverhand?"
