Fly, fly in the air, fly higher.
No restraints, no worries... He had never felt such freedom, so he breathed in this freedom to the fullest.
Flying higher and higher, every feather on the wings shines with dazzling colors.
"You will be a torch for them all, their totem. Arouse their anger, and you will let them all know that this is how people are born to live."
"Xiao"'s instructions echoed in Falcon Man's ears again.
Carrying the blazing sun on its back, overlooking the earth. He saw the miners in the border town stopping what they were doing and looking at him with shock and gratitude.
They see me, I'm here.
he thought proudly.
Even the supervisors holding electric batons, and even the gendarmerie scurrying in front of them, couldn't help but glance at him and make sounds of wonder or fear.
"Burn all your anger and hatred and become a torch in the hearts of everyone. This is the only thing you can still do at the end of your life."
Even though it was thousands of feet high in the sky, the voice of "Xiao" echoed so clearly in my ears.
Therefore, he spread his wings harder, ignoring the gradual "crunching" sound of the wing skeleton and the feathers at the end of the wings that were constantly being ignited.
Therefore, he wants to fly higher and higher.
Maybe there isn’t much that I can do, or maybe I don’t have much time left.
But he wants more people to see himself and see how freely a person should live.
Tell everyone how we should fight.
…………
The huge fireball exploded by the thermobaric implosion bomb was like the sun lighting up the underground dome of the resettlement area, attracting the attention of almost all the residents on the seventh floor of the resettlement area.
Fear, panic, worry, doubt, excitement...
Countless complex emotions spread like a virus among the residents living here.
Coupled with the two Depth 7 adjusters, online battles were conducted at this level, causing frequent network failures in the vicinity. Various rumors and speculations continued to spread among the crowd, further causing confusion and suspicion in the residential areas.
For the residents living underground in the Nord settlement, this is bound to be a sleepless night.
"Mom, look, the sun is rising!"
The child took his mother's hand and came to the window. He pointed at the extinguishing fireball on the dome and said in surprise.
This is the first time this child, who was born and grew up on the bottom floor of the resettlement area, has seen the "sun" in a non-holographic image.
Seeing this scene, the panicked mother had no time to say anything. She just picked up the child and held him tightly in her arms before the violent roar of the explosion came.
"Bang!"
"Wow..."
A deafening explosion sounded, and even from a distance of more than ten kilometers, the windows were buzzing from the shock wave of the explosion.
The mother couldn't tell for a moment which one made her feel more uneasy, the roar or the crying of the child in her arms.
But what happened? Are the company's armed forces fighting here? Or is the interim government of the resettlement area going to send troops to take back the underground of the resettlement area?
With such a big movement, could it be that the Nord settlement area was classified as a "conflict zone" by the Order of Olympus and opened up as a new mercenary war battlefield?
One terrifying suspicion after another emerged in his mind, but all he could do now was hold the child in his arms tighter.
"Mom, look..."
After more than ten seconds, the cry of the frightened child in her arms gradually weakened until it stopped completely.
"It's Icarus!"
The child pointed out the window and shouted excitedly.
Icarus?
Mother was a little confused.
Is it the Icarus from the Icarus Liberation Front?
The Icarus Liberation Front has barely maintained the basic order at the bottom of the resettlement area over the years and fought against the armed organizations of major gangs. The members come from organizations among the underground people in the resettlement area - although under the pressure of public opinion created by the company and the resettlement area government, everyone will tacitly not mention it on weekdays. But it is a guardian that everyone knows and silently thanks for their struggle.
And their symbol - a pair of gradually shattering wings flying towards the sun, even a child who is just beginning to understand can draw it crookedly on a data pad.
Hearing the child's words, the mother subconsciously raised her head.
At this moment, under the dome of the resettlement area, there is really a pair of gradually broken wings.
…………
[He is spreading the magnetic fluid, and it is expected that it will spread to half of the underground level in fifteen minutes]
Wu Tou-1 said as he watched the opponent gradually shatter into silver-gray debris and disappear into the wings in the sky.
[But why did he do this? 】
Someone in the team asked in confusion.
But no one could answer.
Because the other party spread the magnetic-like fluid he controlled, Liao Qi's electromagnetic suppression of them had ended. This allowed everyone in the Wolfsbane team to reconnect through radio signals.
But they couldn't figure out the reason why the opponent suddenly did this - it could be said that the magnetic fluid-like aerosol surrounding him was the source of more than 50% of the opponent's combat power.
The enhanced "Mercury Wings" integrate electromagnetic interference, perception, concealment, range attack, and remote prosthetic control, and can produce countless changes with a single thought. As long as they gather around themselves and maintain a certain density, the opponent will be absolutely invincible.
But at this moment, the other party took the initiative to spread it. Not only that, he also released all the reserves in his body. Although its range of influence became larger, when the unit density became smaller, those magnetic fluids could The interference they caused can be said to be minimal.
As for everyone in the Wolfsbane team, after breaking free from the shackles of electromagnetic interference, the fire control radar came back online. The accuracy of the long-range weapons they carry has increased by unknown levels.
Although it still cannot pose a fatal threat to the opponent, it can already cause a lot of substantial damage.
The hot melt beam and directed energy pulse made a sharp whistling sound, chasing and biting the guy flying in the air. The high-energy rays are like a naughty child's watercolor brush, leaving graffiti on the dome of the stairs.
Roars and explosions echoed continuously, and the multifunctional templates covering the dome to simulate weather and sunlight fell into the city one after another, triggering a series of explosions on the streets.
Of course, the opponent's counterattack was equally ferocious.
Explosive energy pulses are fired accurately, and high-frequency floating blades appear and disappear. Hanging on his pair of wings with a wingspan of more than 20 meters, a variety of external prosthetics enable the opponent's single firepower to suppress them in a short period of time, making them unable to even lift their heads.
Of course, no matter how ferocious the firepower is, it is also limited by the bomb load and energy reserves of their respective robots. In the absence of drone arrays to replenish ammunition, and their respective energy storage devices are not nuclear power reactors, their mutual confrontation will be difficult. The ejaculation lasted only a short time and then ended.
Wolfsbane Team suffered casualties of three members, and the "Mercury Wings" behind the opponent, as well as the prosthetic body attached to it, were blown apart to less than a quarter.
In this way, the long-range firepower of both sides has almost exhausted each other. Except for the last thing at the bottom of the box, they can't continue the previous firepower density.
However, as we all know, what Icarus Path is really good at has never been long-range fire coverage.
Among the high-frequency floating blades floating around Liao Qi like fish, two returned to his hand intact. They are connected to the user through the temporary control interface formed by the "Wings of Mercury", allowing him to easily control these two heavy and deadly weapons.
【Very good, that's it】
Seeing the opponent switch to a melee weapon, Wu Tou-1 nodded.
【it's time】
According to their previous plan, they released the lead mist interference bombs and dispersed them to prevent the other party from destroying them all.
They wanted to lure this madman to the battlefield at depth 7 - this was their final strategy.
An Icarus Path Adjuster filled with advanced prosthetics from God knows where, he was an opponent they couldn't solve - at least not with the firepower they brought this time.
But fortunately, right here, there is someone who can easily kill this monster. And with this guy already in a state of madness, they could easily lure him over.
The remaining members of the Wolfsbane team used a ladder formation to cover each other and take over. They alternately released lead mist interference bombs and infrared induction bombs along the way, attracting the cyber madman who was holding two power blades as wide as door panels, all the way to the two depth 7 battlefields.
But even so, they paid a very heavy price along the way.
After all, the "bait" that lures the other party is themselves.
Everyone present, except for the three Depth 4 adjusters from Cerberus who led the team, no one was a single enemy of the opponent in the close combat.
Once caught up and his teammates fail to provide interference cover in time, that person is destined to be cut into mechanical fish meat in three seconds - and this is even if the opponent gives up using "Magnetic Fluid Storm" interference and perception.
The opponent's mobility is even faster than Wutou-1.
So, on the way to the battlefield of Depth 7, their corpses were like navigation lights at the airport at night, with bright flames blooming all the way on the road.
It can even be said that if the other party had not let go like this, then they would not have been able to persist until the end to reach the high-level person named "Christie".
But speaking of which, why would the other party spread the magnetic fluid?
arrive!
Without having time to think about it, Wutou-1 finally let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the black and red mechanical dragon and the man in the distance who was constantly piecing together and deforming the countless parts like building blocks.
It seems that they are currently engaged in a network battle - the two depth 7 adjusters are not suitable for fighting in an urban environment, and the damage they can cause is too exaggerated. If they go all out, they can even pose a huge threat to the resettlement area itself.
But in other words, even if they are dealing with Icarus path cybermaniacs like Liao Qi, as long as they are a little serious, they can easily kill them.
He had to immediately connect to their network domain and explain his intention to the company's new senior executive.
However, before he connected to the network, all of them - including the two at Depth 7, including most of the terminals still available on the seventh floor of the settlement area - received a message at the same time.
The source of the signal was Liao Qi, who was chasing them behind him at the moment, and the medium used to hijack so many people was... the "magnetic fluid-like" that the other party had previously spread.
If you want to carry out wide-area broadcasting when two people are fighting at depth 7 and so much computing power is mobilized, you must reconstruct the network yourself. So, he gave up the opportunity to kill them all just to do a city-wide broadcast?
What on earth was he trying to say?
Inciting riots at the bottom of the resettlement area? Expose corporate crimes?
But what is the use of this when absolute dominance suppresses it?
The people of Wolfsbane Team thought so.
[My name is Liao Qi, I am a child of an ordinary working class family at the bottom of the Nord resettlement area, and a fighter from the Icarus Liberation Front]
[This is the voice I left behind when I was making the final modifications in the multi-purpose printer. Soon I will sacrifice my own life to tell you an extremely simple but timeless truth]
【Never give up fighting】
It's a real pity that I couldn't post this chapter at 23:45 on August 20, 2033, when Johnny Silverhand blew up Arasaka Tower. However, the power outage in Kawenjia Community and some trivial matters in life have made the updates very unstable in the past two days. Although the level of the final product is good, I am embarrassed to say that this is quality first. But when I was writing the final part of this volume, I was still very panic-stricken. In the past two days of updates, I basically wrote, deleted, and rewritten. After writing a large paragraph, I overturned and rewrote it, until finally I reluctantly clicked to upload. status.
In short, please forgive me and we will update it as stably as possible in the future.
Really sorry!
