dr5 nova, ds1 pulse, hand missile launcher, mechanical left arm.
The first two items came from personal purchases, and the latter two were regarded as trump cards. They were items of residual value created by Andy, a mechanic apprentice. They were in a usable but low-durability state.
"Five hundred pistol bullets, ten fully loaded submachine gun magazines, and a reserve of four general-purpose micro-missiles."
After counting the equipment, it was enough to fight a small battle, but Andy was still a little worried. Can they kill vampires?
In addition, there is also a question mark to what extent the technological level of that unknown world will be maintained.
Anyway, nuclear power plants can be built.
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, he put the last piece of equipment into his arms, a thermal conduction cutting dagger, powered by an L-type battery and releasing a high temperature of 2,500 degrees.
To put it more vividly, it can easily break through electroplated armor, and the basic damage is as high as 600, which can be called a critical strike with a knife.
Unfortunately, the durability is not high. If it is in working condition for a long time, it will explode after about six hours of continuous use. At that time, it can be recycled.
"Brother Asan, please work harder."
If given the choice, who would want to do this?
It feels weird no matter how you think about using the equipment of Dara Polytechnic to venture into a different world.
But for a poor cyber dog who has traveled two and a half years and is a new arrival, it is already very good to have these equipments. This is due to Andy's special talent in the field of mechanical manufacturing, which can turn waste into treasure.

[The trial begins]
Above the horizon, the small red characters disappeared, and Andy saw things around him begin to twist and change.
Then, everything went dark.
There was only an old voice echoing in my ears, as if he was narrating himself——
The poet once said:
"Hunger and thirst are the most important things we know and the first thing we learn.
But hunger and thirst are easily suppressed and satisfied.
And there is a strength, a different kind of hunger, a hunger that cannot be quenched.
Its existence makes us human beings.
That is love.
Love is an unexplainable force,
It cannot be understood chemically.
It is the beacon that guides us home. Even if no one is there, that light will illuminate the lost road ahead. The lack of love will deprive us of the ability to perceive happiness, make the darkness darker, and make the day darker and duller.
When we find love, no matter how misshapen, sad, or bad, we hold on to it.
Love gives us strength.
Love keeps us standing.
We live by love and love lives by us.
Love is our gift.
Love is our downfall. "
February 8, the first night, the weather was cloudy.
Over New York's JFK Airport, Boeing Airlines' wide-body 767 airliner was stranded on the taxiing track, unable to receive a response regardless of any form of contact.
All departments have entered a state of combat readiness.
The Port Authority's emergency response unit cleared the tarmac, and a command podium was set up behind an engineering searchlight, shining a bright beam on the aircraft.
SWAT teams that have received special training in evacuation and hostage rescue can carry out anti-terrorism raids in tunnels, bridge piers, airports, railways and other terrains.
At this moment, these tactical police officers were patrolling in light armor and holding Koch submachine guns. Two German shepherd dogs were sniffing near the main landing gear of the aircraft, trotting and raising their noses as if they smelled something uneasy. breath.
"Love? What the hell!"
There was a low curse that only he could hear clearly. Andy, who had regained all his senses, frowned and looked around.
A row of green blood bars came into view.
[Tower Duty Supervisor: Calvin Bass]
[Attitude: Friendly]
[HP: 30/30]
His eyes moved away from the middle-aged fat man and towards a well-equipped man not far away.
[SWAT Team Commander: Navarro]
[Attitude: Friendly]
[HP: 45/45]
The data is easy to understand and reassuring, and you don't even need bullets, you can just punch it to death with a wave of the robotic arm.
Of course, Andy is not a cybermaniac and has no such perverted thoughts, especially when the other party is a friendly unit.
"Identity generated, FBI senior agent."
"Warning, except for self-defense, the use of force is prohibited within 24 hours."
A mysterious voice flashed past.
After that, there was no sound again, because Andy was told by a consciousness that he would become a free man in twenty-four hours, and he could do whatever he wanted, as long as he could destroy human civilization and help human civilization be reborn. Make a choice.
save?
Andy prefers saving to destroying. There is not much reason, but there are many reasons, such as:
Unlike those lunatics from the Whirlpool Gang in Night City, he is very restrained, has not been assimilated, and still retains his humanity.
"Agent, please come here."
At this time, an old black man suddenly waved to Andy, and the latter quickly got into the mood and walked over quickly, looking quite capable.
On the way, he put up the windproof skirt of his black coat. After all, brain-computer interfaces are too shocking.
Lao Hei, who was identified as a senior official of the Ministry of Justice, did not care about these small details. He did not have the time to care about them. He directly took out a diagram of the internal structure of the aircraft and introduced:
"Here, a diplomat from Berlin, Rolf Huberman, came to attend the Security Council meeting on peninsula security. He should carry a diplomatic bag without going through customs inspection."
"Now, an emergency response team has been sent over there to retrieve the mail bag. You can't let anyone handle this thing..."
"Dude, remember to take photos secretly."
Is this Eagle Sauce?
Sure enough, shameless enough.
Andy nodded and sighed.
You must know that the United States no longer exists in the cyber world. It fell apart as early as the end of the 20th century. The only ones who can really speak are the major multinational high-tech companies.
"Go get ready, two experts from the CDC are waiting for you."
As he said that, Lao Hei, who felt they were close to each other, raised his hand, patted Andy on the shoulder, and raised his chin not far away, indicating to look over there.
[Dr. Infrem Goodwinzer, Chief Medical Officer for the New York Region of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Senior Advisor to the Biochemical Threat Investigation Team, and CEO of the Canary Rapid Response Program]
[Dr. Nora Martinis, biochemistry expert, Canary Rapid Response Program Specialist]
A tall, middle-aged white man.
A mixed-race woman with a square face.
The attitude of the two was not very good, especially the female doctor, who directly urged: "Hurry up, is this how efficient the FBI is?"
A weak chicken with only thirty health points...
Muttering secretly, Andy walked over to join them. He had a hunch that the plane was extremely dangerous, but he was restricted by a twenty-four-hour fire ban and could only defend himself and fight back when attacked.
…
…
Project Canary.
It sounds quite aesthetic, but once you understand it in depth, you will no longer have this idea.
In the past, miners would carry canary cages underground with them because this little bird with bright yellow feathers is very metabolically sensitive. As long as it detects trace amounts of methane or carbon monoxide, it will change from lively and singing to quiet.
After realizing this change, it was still too late. The concentration of poisonous gas in the mine was not high and it was not easy to explode. The miners exited in time, and only a little bird died.
There is no doubt that it is an extremely efficient biological early warning system, and the New York authorities were inspired to establish such a rapid response team. It is composed of experts in epidemic prevention practice and aims to isolate natural viruses, microbial viruses and man-made infectious diseases at the earliest stage to control the speed of spread.
Now, two canaries are helping each other put on protective clothing. It is Dr. Yinfu and Dr. Nora. The two are almost naked in front of each other. Naturally, a kind of love in the trenches will arise.
】
According to what Andy heard, Dr. Yin Fu also had a wife who was divorcing him. The woman found a young security guard who only knew how to talk, but she didn't know that her husband also secretly gave her a hat.
"What a mess."
After joking about the complicated relationship between American couples, Andy began to put on protective clothing carefully.
And the place he was in was an airtight compartment. After all, it was not a good thing to disturb others' flirting. Besides, the traces of brain-computer interface and arm modification on his body were difficult to show in public.
"By the way, are protective suits useful against vampires?"
To be honest, Andy could already picture the cabin full of vampires.
"Forget it... take one step, watch one step, and take care of what you have come to."
While comforting myself in this way, I also thought of Night City, and there is such a widely circulated saying:
A nobody, or a world-famous one?
Now fate has given me an opportunity. If I don't use it and don't grasp it, what will it feel like...
Andy didn't want to try it anyway. During the two and a half years in Night City, he saw too many things that subverted his cognition, and he also developed some ambitions.
Who wants to live in a dark kennel, surrounded by garbage every day? By the way, I have to perform some weird surgeries on the little gangster from time to time. My only pastime is watching Black Mewtwo.
Stab...
The sound of pulling a chain sounded.
The first layer is a nomex fireproof jumpsuit with the words "CDC" embroidered on the back. The zipper extends from the knees to the chin. The collar and cuffs are sticky. The black boots are calf-high and tied up with shoelaces.
The second layer is a disposable white isolation suit and Tyvek chemical protective clothing with a texture close to paper. The trousers of this layer must be worn outside the boots.
In addition, according to the instructions of the square-faced female doctor, the silver shield chemical protective gloves and foot covers must be covered with nylon material and taped to the wrists and ankles with tape.
Once completed, put on a personal portable respirator, a lightweight titanium pressure regulating tank, a full-face respirator, and a personal safety alarm equipped with firefighting equipment, and you're all set.
As for the personal image, it is enough to refer to the space suit. It is no exaggeration to say that even in the cyberpunk world, the most advanced virus protection is no more than this. At most, you can play more new tricks with the materials.
Bang bang!
Tapping the protective gear with his fingertips, Andy confirmed that if there was danger, the robotic arm could instantly shatter these things and put them into use.
"Doctors, are you ready?"
Shouting interrupted the makeout.
"Well, let's play." The female doctor Nora hesitated, as if there was some kind of foreign object blocking her mouth.
When Andy came out of the cubicle, they hurriedly put on their masks.
"Agent, are you armed?" Yin Fu was a little embarrassed and deliberately changed the subject.
"Don't worry, it's still hanging here."
Compared with medical experts, Andy has some extra external equipment to deal with possible terrorists - the plane has not yet been opened and the internal situation is unknown.
[Beretta Pistol: Basic damage 35]
[Police grenade: basic damage 150]
A pretend firearm and a few bricks.
If his life is really in danger, Andy will never use such backward equipment. He has a DR5 Nova on the layer next to him. The basic damage of a single bullet can reach 211, which is much stronger than a grenade.
The miniature pulse gun is also hung on the innermost layer.
All kinds of supplementary ammunition were put in a sealed backpack and carried with them without being questioned.
…
A group of three people walked along the gangway, passed through the temporary small disinfection room, and then entered the cabin.
Andy walked in the front carrying a small disguised pistol, and a deathly silence hit his face, followed closely by Nora, a female doctor with a square face, and finally Yin Fu.
Hundreds of sitting corpses were facing them. They were dead people after all. Although their eyes were open, their eyes were unresponsive to the shoulder-mounted searchlights.
【Anti-Soul Corpse】
[HP: 200/200]
[Status: Sleeping]
Rows of red names stood next to each other, which made Andy panic. If there hadn't been a 24-hour fire ban warning, he would have raised his hand and launched the missile directly.
"Fortunately, it's in a deep sleep state..."
As he sighed secretly, the two doctors had already entered working mode and began to observe the situation.
No one had a nosebleed, no one had bulging eyeballs, and no body spots were seen. There was no foaming at the mouth or bleeding from the corners of the mouth. Everyone sat quietly on the airplane chairs, and there was no sign of panic or struggle before death— —
The arms are either hanging on the walkway or slumped on the legs, which is natural.
By looking at mobile phones and seeing a strange-looking iPhone 4, Andy thoroughly confirmed the technological level of this world.
"Let's go to the Federal Aviation Police Officer first. He is the most vigilant among all the passengers. He may leave some clues." Temporary partner Yin Fu suggested.
Andy has nothing to do with this.
As the doctor said, the police officers who are secretly responsible for flight security are indeed the most valuable.
With the help of a plastic cabin seat map, they found a federal aviation police officer inside the door by the window. He was no different from other corpses and was identified as a sleeping anti-ghost corpse.
vampire?
It can't be a zombie.
Andy thought of the diary excerpt that served as advance information, and couldn't help but feel a little headache. He still didn't know the capabilities of these corpses, and he wanted to eliminate them in time, but he was restricted.
"Let's try our best to monitor it first, and then find a way to deal with it after the fire ban period has passed."
"In addition, the special setting of this requirement must mean something. They are critical! The first twenty-four hours are critical!"
While Andy was thinking, Dr. Yin Fu had already started checking. He knelt down on one knee, stroked the aviation officer's forehead, and pushed his head back.
There is a saying, it is true that the ignorant are fearless. If the police officer who has turned into a corpse suddenly ends his sleep state and gets up to take a bite like this...
The picture is so beautiful.
However, the process was very professional indeed.
Before time travel, Andy, who was a clinical medical student and had a certain understanding of the forensic field due to his personal interests and hobbies, could actually understand why he did this.
Judging from the results, the federal aviation police officer’s neck joints are not stiff yet and his head can still move, indicating that he has not been dead for a long time...
At the same time, the female doctor Nora went even further and directly opened his jaw, while shining the light on the inside of the mouth, while getting closer to observe.
"The tongue and upper part of the throat were pink and there was no poisoning reaction."
In fact, Nora didn’t know how brave her actions just now were. She just dealt with the problem according to the process and said seriously:
"There was no vomiting, not like gas poisoning."
"Yes, I remember that with carbon monoxide poisoning, there will be obvious blisters and spots on the skin, which will look swollen and leathery."
Andy heard this and echoed a few words.
But he didn't get any surprised looks or admiration, because this was basic knowledge, and an ordinary person only knew a little bit about forensic science.
Not to mention, he is still a senior FBI agent, so whatever he says is very reasonable.
"Judging from the police officer's posture, there was no sign of any discomfort or death struggle."
Yin Fu stood up, shook his head and said, "Let's split up and improve efficiency. Agent, don't you have your own tasks?"
"be safe."
Without any hesitation, Andy left this temporary group after leaving behind a sentence that sounded innocuous but was actually full of profound meaning.
According to what Old Hei's boss said, he had to take a photo of the documents carried by the German boss. As for the secrets involved, he didn't care at all unless it was related to this incident.
