Close-range gunfights are the most dangerous. Because the environment is narrow, the distance between the enemy and us may be less than one meter. Therefore, as long as a gun is fired, there is a high probability that it will be a fatal blow.
Fighting in such an environment will test your experience and courage even more.
This is something that no amount of high-tech equipment can make up for, not to mention that Peacock now has a map-wide cheating device.
In addition to Peacock's own sense of danger, Johnny Silverhand, who has the air superiority, is another of his eyes. Not only can he report the enemy's position, but his firepower far exceeds that of Peacock.
As soon as he rushed into the narrow aisle between the two cars, Peacock was reminded by Johnny Silverhand to bend down in time and avoid the fire from the man who was one car away from him.
When the peacock fell to the ground, he had already seen the big feet of the person opposite from under the car.
As he shot away, the man's foot suddenly lost two toes.
The operator who was in unbearable pain stumbled and fell to the ground. Before the man could get up, Peacock fired another shot and sent the man back to his hometown.
While shooting the first operator, Peacock rolled sideways and avoided the military technology operators who flashed out from both ends of the aisle at the same time.
He rolled on the spot and rolled directly from under the car to the other side.
When the operator who had missed the target hurriedly came around from the direction of the front of the car, Peacock had already squatted down steadily, and the muzzle of his gun was pointed in the direction where the man was about to appear.
"boom!"
With a gunshot, the bullet entered the man's mouth and opened a big hole in the back of his neck.
At this time, Peacock had already climbed over the car again and jumped behind other operators.
With Johnny Silverhand in the air providing fire cover and full-angle vision, Peacock had no worries at all.
The cooperation between the two was successful one after another, so the understanding between them became more and more tacit.
Johnny Silverhand has the advantage of being condescending and able to maneuver at will, so he is responsible for finding the most suitable target for Peacock, while Peacock is responsible for killing people.
With Tengu drones in the air to control it, the peacock can always sneak out of unexpected intersections.
Compared with the drone's short-barreled machine gun, his pistol is more suitable for accurate headshots.
No matter how thick the armor those guys have stacked up, as long as they are shot in the head, everything will stop, so their killing efficiency is getting higher and higher.
"boom!"
When the last person with military technology spun and fell to the ground, the patrol team that came in a hurry was completely wiped out.
Almost at the same time, the battle on the side of Zhucun was almost over.
Goro Takemura had to deal with an entire patrol team, and he didn't have any help.
Even so, this Arasaka elite still managed to break this hard nut by himself.
"Peacock, uncle is injured!"
When he heard Sandra's scream, Peacock's heart suddenly trembled.
Ever since Jack and Vee died, he found that he couldn't bear to see any more of his companions die.
Although he knew this was impossible, he still didn't want to face such a thing again.
Without enough time to clean up the battlefield here, Peacock hurried to Zhucun.
As for Johnny Silverhand, he immediately flew back to the pickup truck to rest. Although he no longer called Takemura Arasaka Dog, Johnny Silverhand still didn't like to talk to the footbath man.
When he arrived at Zhucun's side, Peacock's heart was relieved.
Takemura looked really scary at this time. There was blood everywhere on his body, so Sandra took one look from a distance and screamed.
Just by looking at Zhucun's spirit, Peacock knew that the foot basin man was fine.
Takemura is the former personal security officer of President Arasaka. He is more than enough to deal with 30 ordinary soldiers with military technology.
At this point, all enemies blocking the road have been wiped out, so it's time to get back on the road.
But just when Peacock wanted to call Sandra to bring the car over, both Takemura and Peacock's bodies shook violently.
Looking up at the front of the road, Peacock took a breath of cold air, and Takemura's expression became extremely serious.
"Sandra, stay where you are. Everyone, we have a new guest."
Looking at the shadowy figure in front of him, Peacock narrowed his eyes.
"ah!"
Because of Peacock's reminder, Sandra must have noticed the latest situation.
When she saw the armed soldiers who had appeared at both ends of the road at some unknown time, she couldn't hold back the horror in her heart and screamed out.
Unlike the military technology patrol just now, the group of people who appeared now seemed extremely quiet.
They appeared silently, silently set up roadblocks, and then silently spread out in formation.
It is precisely because of this that the aura they exude is particularly chilling. Compared with them, the previous military technology patrols were like a group of militiamen.
"After defeating military technology, now we have to defeat Arasaka again?"
Looking at the armed soldiers who had blocked both ends of the road again, Peacock had never felt so thirsty as now.
These new enemies seemed to fall from the sky. They were obviously nearby just now, so they also saw the battle just now.
These people probably had the mentality of "the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman will benefit", so they never showed up. They didn't come out until the winner was determined here.
"They are members of the Force.
They are a special attack team affiliated with the Mizhou branch of Huangban International. They are the elite troops best at carrying out special operations in the city.
Peacocks, they're pretty tough."
Looking at the new opponents on both sides, Zhucun's eyes were very ferocious for a while, and then showed a bit of sadness.
Ever since Senobu moved into Arasaka Tower, Sachi's troops were the first to swear allegiance to him. As a result, this special attack force has grown stronger and become that person's confidants.
Arasaka International originated from the foot basin country in the old era, and its predecessor was the famous Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
After Saburo Arasaka completely wiped out the Iwaki family, Mitsubishi changed its name to Arasaka.
Although the name has been changed, the temperament of this trust has never changed.
Arasaka has faithfully inherited the traditions of the Shobago Country in the old days, and this can also be fully reflected in those armed soldiers.
As the elite of Arasaka, the soldiers of Sachi's unit all wear the best armor of this era and hold the most advanced firearms in their hands, but they actually still retain their flags.
The so-called flag is a small flag placed behind the back. On it is Arasaka's diamond-shaped badge and the kanji code name of the unit.
It seems ridiculous that the army in 2077 retains the useless decorations of 200 years ago, but the peacock cannot laugh at all.
They had just killed two entire teams of military technology lackeys, and now they were coming even more ruthlessly.
In addition to being significantly larger in number than before, the spirit and weapons and equipment of Xing's troops also far surpassed the motley army just now.
The military technology patrol just now was only equipped with assault rifles and a small number of light machine guns, so they were considered light infantry.
But the Xing troops were completely different. Those soldiers had special equipment such as anti-explosion shields, as well as heavy firepower weapons such as heavy machine guns, Vulcan cannons, and even rapid-fire grenade guns.
In addition to more than a hundred soldiers, there were even a dozen guys wearing exoskeleton combat armor in their queue.
To deal with this kind of enemy formation, the most efficient way is to use missiles to clear the ground.
If we don't have this condition, we probably have to send a tank company.
Unfortunately, Peacock and Takemura have neither missiles nor tanks. The only heavy weapons they have now are the assault rifles they took from the patrols just now.
"Mr. Peacock, how are you? Do you still have the strength to fight again?"
Looking at the soldiers of the lucky army who were forming a strict queue, Takemura finally grinned and showed a rare smile.
“When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!
I have already said that I will beat anyone who blocks the way today, and it will be the same for anyone who comes!"
"Hahaha, you are indeed a peacock who dares to break into Arasaka Tower.
In this case, let’s do as usual. Me in front and you behind. This time we will compete to see who can kill faster!”
"Hey! That's enough for you two!
Since you are killing the Arasaka dog, how can you leave me out?
If there is a competition, then it should only be between three people."
Listening to Zhusun's murderous statement, Johnny Silverhand finally couldn't help but interrupt.
Before this, Johnny Silverhand never talked to Takemura. In order to kill the Arasaka dog, now he is actually willing to compete with the former Arasaka elite.
"Okay, three is three, but we have to change it this time.
I see that the enemies in the front are obviously stronger than those in the rear, so this time we rush to the front together and knock down those in the way first!"
"no problem."
Takemura and Johnny Silverhand both agreed with Peacock's judgment.
Compared with the frontline troops that had heavy firepower and combat mechas, the troops blocking Peacock's retreat were indeed much thinner.
Because of this difference, the peacock must gather all its strength to attack the enemy from the front.
Now they are not thinking about escaping, so of course everyone has to kill in the direction of the coordinates.
"Mr. Peacock, do you have anything else to say?"
"You two go up first, give me some time to prepare."
"Can!"
"no problem!"
Although Peacock made a seemingly unkind request, Takemura and Johnny Silverhand agreed without even thinking about it.
"Everyone, you go up first, and I will follow you later.
At that time, I will attack the enemies in front with all my strength and try to break their formation.
Once I tear open the gap, Zhucun, you immediately return to the pickup truck and lead them through here first."
"What?"
"Peacock……"
Hearing that Peacock actually arranged it like this, Zhucun and Sandra both had something to say. But Peacock waved his hand vigorously, indicating that everyone didn't need to say anything else.
"Mr. Peacock, do you have any other ideas?"
What Peacock said just now made Takemura think that this partner might have some trump cards, so he wanted to ask clearly.
"What else I can do is just to try my best. Takemura, I leave those two girls to you.
Also, please remember to stay away from me later.
Okay, now let's get moving!
Let's deal with them early and get out of the city early. Don't let Judy wait too long!
Sandra, you did a great job just now. Now please, please do it again. Please use all your abilities to help everyone fight out together!"
As he said this, Peacock raised his rifle and walked forward. Takemura and Johnny Silverhand followed immediately.
Looking at their figures, Sandra in the car really wanted to follow them.
But Amber next to her was still looking at her eagerly, and she didn't want to live up to Peacock's ardent expectations just now.
After quickly wiping away her tears, the female hacker pulled off her VR glasses again. Peacock's words had ignited her fighting spirit, and she would continue to fight in the way she was best at.
"Boy, I need about a minute, so please!"
When he said this, the peacock took out a yellow medicine bottle from his arms.
He didn't mean to avoid Takemura and Johnny Silverhand, so he poured out three pills in front of them, and then swallowed them in one gulp.
Peacock's actions were seen by Takemura and Johnny Silverhand, but they did not ask questions or stop him.
If you want to trace the history of human synthesis of chemical stimulants, you can directly push it back to before the First World War.
At that time, most stimulants were central nervous system stimulants, and the users were basically athletes who wanted to take advantage of them.
When some countries discovered that stimulants can enhance the combat effectiveness of soldiers, the main force in researching and manufacturing stimulants became the national team, instead of the previous small private parties.
Driven by national power, doping technology is constantly being innovated.
The first generation of central nervous system stimulants were completely eliminated after half a century, and were replaced by anabolic steroid drugs and blockers.
Thirty years after the second generation of stimulants came out, the third generation of endogenous hormones with better effects officially appeared, and this was also a plug-in that was widely used in World War III.
Although it is the end of the world, technology related to war and violence has made great progress, so the mainstream stimulants now are gene stimulants.
By editing the genes of targeted cells, such stimulants can allow users to gain genetic advantages, thereby improving physical fitness and gaining superhuman strength.
Although they don't know exactly what kind of medicine Peacock took, Takemura and Johnny Silverhand definitely thought that Peacock wanted to use medicine to assist in fighting.
Taking drugs before a battle to increase combat power is not uncommon in 2077.
Compared with cyber plug-ins that can also increase combat power, taking drugs has a short effective time and a small increase in ability, but the drugs are cheaper, so this is the best choice for the poor.
Although taking drugs will have serious side effects on the body, at this critical moment of life and death, it is definitely more important to survive first, so the two of them just sighed secretly in their hearts.
"Okay! Let's go first!"
As long as he saw that the peacock was taking pills, Takemura knew that the stimulants used by his partner were definitely not high-end products.
Today's gene stimulants are all integrated injection needles, and only the second-generation steroid stimulants, which should have been eliminated long ago, are still in the form of pills.
Of course, this old-fashioned stimulant cannot have an immediate effect, so when Peacock said he needed some time, Takemura and Johnny Silverhand both understood.
Just when the peacock suddenly stopped, Takemura kept moving, taking long strides towards the enemy. Johnny Silverhand also controlled the tengu, making a circuitous move from the side to the front.
Seeing Takemura Goro holding his head high even though he was alone, Captain Hino Hide, the commander of the battle unit, couldn't help but admire him.
"Oh, Mr. Goro Takemura is indeed the security officer of the former acting president!
Even if he encounters us head-on, he still has the courage to take the initiative to charge. This is the true spirit of Bushido.
Gentlemen, cheer me up, our troops cannot let Takemura-sama compete with us!
Class 1?
"Hey!"
"Class 2?"
"Hey!"
"Class 3?"
"Hey!"
"Lucky troops?"
"Hey ho ho!"
As Hidetomo Hino, the captain of the Kokobaku unit, clicks on the assigned number one by one, the soldiers belonging to that unit will respond loudly.
After everyone shouted in unison at the end, the morale of the entire team had risen sharply, and everyone could not wait to compete with the legendary Goro Takemura.
"Arasaka dogs are Arasaka dogs. Even though it has been 20 years, you still like to play this game.
You Arasaka dogs who only know how to bluff, go to hell now!"
Johnny Silverhand could still remain calm when facing Takemura, an Arasaka dog.
Now in front of him were hundreds of fully armed Arasaka soldiers, and their roar reminded him of his unpleasant past, so Johnny Silverhand exploded.
He should have continued to operate the Tengu drone to create chaos for the Arasaka soldiers, thereby covering Takemura's frontal attack, but now he could not care less about cooperating with Takemura.
While angrily cursing Arasaka in the communication channel, Johnny Silverhand urged the tengu to pounce on the soldiers who had completed the formation as quickly as possible.
He wanted to seize the most advantageous position and use those two machine guns to kill the Arasaka dogs below.
"boom!"
Just when the Tengu drone was about to approach the enemy array, with a muffled sound, a large-caliber sniper bullet hit the drone in the air.
Although this Tengu drone belongs to the Night City Police, its manufacturer is Arenban International, so the soldiers in Arasaka know the cover of the Tengu drone best.
Because a special bullet was used to attack lightly armored targets, and the bullet penetrated the belly armor and hit the battery compartment of the drone.
In the next second, the Tengu drone in the sky turned into a ball of fire, and Johnny Silverhand, who had been cursing just now, immediately lost his voice.
"Johnny? Johnny Silverhand?"
Peacock shouted several times, but the terrorist did not answer.
"Peacock, Johnny Silverhand has gone offline, and there are many errors in his data!"
"Well, it seems that the old man has to rest for a while."
Listening to Sandra's report, Peacock could only shake his head.
Johnny Silverhand, the most powerful terrorist in history, was forced offline after the drone used to possess him was destroyed.
Although he will not really die, the massive data impact in an instant will definitely cause him a lot of trouble. Before he recovers, Peacock will not be able to call him out again.
In the battle with the military technology soldiers just now, Johnny Silverhand possessed the Tengu and exerted the effect of a surprise soldier.
Without his help, Peacock would not have been able to win so easily.
However, the more brilliant his performance is, the more people in Arasaka will pay attention to the drone.
