Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 89 67. Start fighting

James felt the intrusion of the data flow. The puppet program flowed into his mind, blocking the signal transmission between the pyramidal beam in his mind and his legs, causing his legs, which were about to take a step, to stay in place and unable to be controlled.

Military-grade anti-hacking equipment prioritizes protecting the user's brain to prevent it from being burned directly by hackers through overheating of the prosthesis. It does not have a high priority in blocking signal transmission, so the 'hinder movement' puppet program easily bypasses its related protections and acts on James.

However, this restriction will not last too long. Military-grade equipment will quickly react and start detecting and killing. This kind of obstruction may only last less than a second.

But it was enough for Carl to shoot.

When it reached a distance of twenty meters, the Kenshin in Carl's hand was already aimed at James' head.

In an instant, Carl fired six shots.

Two shots were aimed at the prosthetic eyes, two shots were aimed at James' bare left chest, and the other two shots were aimed at certain key points on James' throat and lower abdomen.

Carl wanted to know if a man like James, who was described as a tough guy in military science and technology intelligence, would be injured if he was hit in that part.
The gunshot rang out, and time seemed to slow down at that moment.

It wasn't slow, it was just Karl's reaction that kept up with James who started to speed up at this time.

The Krenzikov prosthesis in James' spine stimulated his body. Under the effect of the prosthesis, James' reaction speed was improved, and then the military-grade experiment Swanstein was launched.

During the slow period, even though his feet could not move, James' movements were as light as a flying butterfly.

James dodged the prosthetic that was aimed at his eyes, and at the same time avoided the bullet that was aimed at his throat. As for the bullet that was aimed at the key point of his lower abdomen, he did not dodge at all, because after the bullet flew past, it only took away a few pieces of cloth, and there was nothing under his crotch, which was exposed, except for a steel shield that was obviously installed later.

Carl suddenly realized why he was such a tough guy.

So, he is the ultimate man who has abandoned his biggest weakness, right?

This guy must be called a tough guy.

"Ding Dong."

James avoided four of the six bullets, but the only two bullets that hit James made a very crisp steel collision sound after colliding with his left chest. Then, the two bullets that had been completely deformed, twisted and shattered fell to the ground.

Carl stared at James' left chest. Under the shattered artificial skin, subcutaneous armor was exposed.

Subcutaneous armor, can it block Kenshin's bullets? !
"Damn, I should have known that military technology is not the same level as the stuff on the market."

Carl had heard in the past that the American Standards Testing Association divided bulletproof vests into six levels, namely Level I, Level IIA, Level II, Level IIIA, Level III, and Level IV. Level I bulletproof vests can only protect against ordinary 9mm pistol bullets, while Level IV, which is strictly limited and only a few of them are equipped in the army, can block armor-piercing bullets with an initial velocity of 850 meters per second. The difference between the two is huge, and now it seems that even in 2075, there has been no change in America in this regard.

Good things are used internally by one's own people. People who are carrying out military technology tasks may be grateful, and while using them as consumables, they may develop some unnecessary good feelings towards military technology. However, for Carl, who is now facing the technological suppression of the company, he just wants to curse.

"呲呲."

The data flow stopped, and the time Carl could limit James had reached its limit.

Now there is good news and bad news, and Carl happens to be someone who likes to hear the bad news first.

Bad news, the access warehouse has reached its limit. Because of my lack of skills, I can no longer use the puppet in the short term. Good news, the other party has used Sian Westin once. According to Blanca, that kind of experimental Sian Westin is not something that ordinary people can bear. Even a tough guy like James, who has good adaptability and tolerance, only used it three times a day during the experiment, and then he reached the limit and fainted.

That is to say, there are two more times.

James threw away the broken and useless shotgun in his hand. Only three seconds had passed since he and Carl fought, and he finally found time to throw down the weapon.

Then he pulled out two pistols from his waist with his hands crossed.

One is the Omaha Tech Pistol produced by Military Technology, and the other is the Yukimura Smart Pistol produced by Arasaka Corporation.

[Military Technology M-76 E Omaha]: An excellent firearm produced by Military Technology. It fires three pellets each time it shoots, and can fire three bullets in succession after holding down the trigger to charge the magnet in the barrel. In small battles, its short-term lethality is no less than that of a heavy machine gun.

[Arasaka HJKE-11 Yukimura]: The Yukimura, released in 2040, is still considered one of the best pistols ever made. It was this gun that started the smart revolution. There is a saying that Kanto, now the number one in the smart weapons industry, also launched smart weapons similar to Yukimura in its early research on smart weapons. Regardless of the truth, this weapon that can fire single shots or three bursts is definitely a weapon that has never been outdated thirty years later.

Seeing the two pistols James took out, Carl aimed at the two pistols without hesitation and fired again.

According to the intelligence, James does not have a prosthetic body equipped with smart weapons, but the performance of these two guns in the hands of a soldier is definitely not inferior to that of the group of company security guards using assisted aiming. Carl trusts James' shooting ability very much, so in order to eliminate the possibility of being chased and shot, he uses the same old trick again and prepares to knock James' guns away.

Carl fired, but James, who was prepared, blocked the shot with his arm.

Did the soldier's instinct work again?

However, Carl was originally just a restraining party.

"Jack, aim and shoot him!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me, Jack Wells is here!"

Jack, has arrived, as always.

He raised his Saratoga submachine gun and fired a burst of bullets into James' hand.

Jack's shooting skills are not as good as Carl's or Oliver's, but he is a street slicker after all, so his skills are comparable to those of ordinary soldiers. What's more, Jack only needs to aim at the approximate position and scatter.

Amid the dense bullet hits and the subsequent sounds of guns breaking, the two guns that James had just picked up were damaged and fell out of his hands. Along with them, James' fingers also fell apart due to the impact. The subcutaneous armor of the fingers still relies on its own bones to exist.

But at this moment, Carl felt time slow down again.

James, once again used Swansea.

In slow motion, his left hand projectile launch system activated, popping out of the launch port on his arm and aiming at Jack.

Then, the high-explosive bullets burst out.
