Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

Angel Eyes jumped out of bed the moment he heard the noise and started searching for his weapon in the messy pile of clothes.

The comfortable life slowly eroded Angel Eyes' military skills. Just when he finally found his sidearm, Vito and Jack had already arrived.

Vito kicked the door open; his long experience had made him very skilled at this.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Two kinetic submachine guns swept towards Angel Eye. Although the heavy subcutaneous armor temporarily blocked the bullet penetration, it had very limited absorption of the kinetic energy of the specially made high-powered armor-piercing rounds.

Vito's modified Saratoga has a magazine capacity of 120 rounds. Its powerful sustained firepower allows him to keep Angel Eye under constant pressure, while Jack uses the gaps to reload and replenish his ammo, creating a continuous barrage between the two.

The Levi Axe in Jack's hand was the main force in breaking through the heavy armor; Angel Eyes' armor was ultimately going to give way.

If Angel Eyes were in Cyberpunk 2077, he would definitely be considered a monster with a health bar. After being hit by nearly ten pounds of bullets, this guy still had the energy to pull out a Shock Flash Bullet from a hidden slot next to the giant cannon prosthetic body.

This is a habit of some American soldiers who have been fitted with leg prosthetics: they put some spare supplies they like in specially made hidden compartments.

The stun grenade exploded in the not-so-large room, and Vito instinctively shielded Jack, who was behind him, from the side.

Vito's vision went white, and the ringing and tremors made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Before he could recover, he felt himself being hit and his body fell backward.

The flashbang injured everyone in the room equally, and Angel Eye himself was also badly shaken. Despite being blind, he relied on his memory to ram Vito and try to escape.

When these two assassins were able to penetrate his heavy armor, Angel Eye lost his will to fight. Serving the new America meant being pushed to risk his life, but serving himself meant prioritizing survival.

Jack was shielded by Vito, so the impact was less severe. The three Night City legends, all incredibly resilient, were desperately fighting against their current physical condition.

Jack pulled out the Rational Shotgun with his left hand. He had prepared slugs as a backup when he heard that Angel Eyes had heavy armor, based on his experience fighting the psychopathic killer Yoo Young-chul before.

Boom!

Jack fired two shots in quick succession at Angel Eye's lower back, causing Angel Eye to stumble and fall to the ground, his last bit of inner energy dissipating.

"Vito! What's wrong with you?!"

Jack shook his head violently, trying to clear his mind, and went over to help Vito, who was lying against the wall, to his feet.

Vito Twenty's full attribute and respiration were still working, and he stood up groggily, quickly recovering from his blindness.

Where is that bastard?

Vito screamed, his anger now raging—the first time in his life, both past and present, that he had been bombarded by a flash of light.

Jack pointed to Angela, the angel-eyed girl, struggling on the ground outside the door.

“I fired two single-shot slugs at him at close range; he probably doesn’t have much strength left.”

"Good job, Jack! We need to hold the top of the stairs and prevent the Bayonet Gang thugs from charging up!"

Vito recovered from his tinnitus and heard a burst of gunfire outside; the Snake Gang had begun their attack.

Angel Eyes, lying on the ground, struggled to get up. He bent over, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to get up.

"You bastard, you think you can just run away?"

Vito snatched the Reason Shotgun from Jack's hand and took a Graphite Shotgun and a slug from the ammunition belt on his waist.

He kicked Angel Eye, who weighed 300 pounds including his prosthetic body, so hard that he fell flat on his back.

Bang bang bang!

Three bullets struck Vito in the chest, and Angel Eyes didn't forget to take his Lexington kinetic pistol "Libero" with him as he fled.

Contrary to Angel Eyes' expectations, Vito wasn't killed; he merely swayed. Clearly, Vito also possessed military-grade subcutaneous armor.

"You're really going to pull one trick after another, Angela Ace? You're really getting on my nerves!"

Vito kicked Angel Eyes' pistol away, then approached with a savage grin.

"Who the hell are you?"

Vito pressed the muzzle of the gun of reason against Angel Eyes' eyeball.

"I'm Kurt Hansen! Why the hell are you asking who I am?!"

Boom!

Angela Ace, the leader of the Bayonet Gang of Night Wanderers, has completely disappeared from Night City. His massive cannon prosthetic body was mistakenly activated after his death, turning into a ferocious cannon.

At that moment, Vito heard a faint cry for help from inside the room. Fortunately, Simpson was able to get up reflexively. In addition, Vito and the other man's attack was focused on Angel Eye's head and chest. Apart from being briefly stunned by the stun grenade, Simpson was unharmed.

"Jack, you guard the stairwell."

Vito called out but received no response. He turned around and saw that Jack was still recovering from the ringing in his ears.

"Jack! Guard the stairwell!"

Vito shouted at Jack, who nodded blankly and replaced the magazine for the captain, placing him at the designated spot.

Vito casually grabbed two more shotgun shells from Jack's waist and walked into the room while reloading.

Now, Simpson needs to give a proper explanation.

Chapter 74 Ghosts

This time, the Snake Gang went all out to plant all the Bayonet Gang members in the wasteland to cosplay as ginseng. Max brought all his combat personnel and all his firepower.

When Max was young, he often watched Animal World. He knew that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Although he watched the version dubbed by Dogman, it was still somewhat educational.

He did not adopt the plan of leaving one side open while surrounding the three sides left open, because the Bayonet Gang had committed many evil deeds and he had to strike hard. Not a single Bayonet Gang member could be let go.

Carmela had already marked all the firing positions in the Bayonet Gang's camp. As soon as the battle started, the two mobile turret vehicles were blown onto the roof by seven or eight man-portable rockets.

One after another, flares were fired into the sky, illuminating the entire town as bright as day.

Filled with the pain of being forced to abandon their homes and the rage of revenge, the Snake Gang wanderers unleashed a torrent of ammunition at the bayonet gang members who rushed out of the house.

This is the excellent matchmaking mechanism of the Badlands region. A well-known bandit gang in Badlands will have low camp defense, low camp alert, and negative level emergency response measures.

After six drones and turrets were destroyed, the raid ended in a complete victory for the Snake Gang. Although the Snake Gang suffered some casualties, these losses were manageable compared to the annihilation of the entire Bayonet Gang.

Max arranged for some homeless people to search the area to prevent any from escaping. He then led Carol and the others straight to the police station, which, according to Carmela, was the hideout of Angel Eyes, the leader of the Bayonet Gang.

As soon as they arrived at the police station, they saw Vito walk out with a gun pointed at Simpson, who was tugging at his buttocks. Behind him, Jack was carrying a corpse by the leg, leaving a long trail of blood behind them.

"The plan is a complete success, Mr. Mike. You can now let go of your worries."

Carlo stepped forward and kicked Simpson to the ground, then stomped on his chest, looking at the man who had brought calamity to the Snake Clan with hatred.

"You bastard! You lied to Sami and now you want to kill us!"

Simpson was also excited when he heard Carlo call out Sammy's name. He was struggling to breathe from being trampled by Carlo, and he weakly pushed against Carlo's combat boots with both hands.

"I...cough cough cough...I didn't lie to Sami, I'm going to Night City with her, I've wanted to get rid of the Night Wanderer for a long time!"

Everyone in Night City seems to have their own reasons. Brian Simpson is ostensibly the second-in-command of the Bayonet Gang, but he is often fiercely attacked by Angel Eyes's big cannon. Over time, he develops the idea of ​​escaping the Night Watchers.

It's hard to say whether he genuinely liked Sami; perhaps he simply found an opportunity to escape the night ghosts from the innocent girl.

Betrayal could set him free, whether it was betraying Angel Eyes or betraying Sami.

During his time with Sami, Simpson learned that she had a special relationship with Max, the leader of the Snake Gang. Originally, he planned to elope with Sami and take over the Snake Gang's territory, but Sami directly told him the location of the Snake Gang's camp. He quickly changed his plans and took the information to Angel Eye.

After raiding Snakesbane, Angel Eye rewarded Simpson with a large sum of money and several beatings with cannons, causing Simpson to be unable to escape with the money as planned during this period.

Just as Simpson was trying his best to explain that he truly loved Sami, Vito's voice came from the side.

"To love her so much that you kill her whole family? Your love is truly heavy-hearted!"

Simpson was exposed, and all his defenses were stuck in his throat; he couldn't utter another word.

Max walked over to Carol and gently patted him on the shoulder. Carol then withdrew his foot from Simpson and stood aside.

Max grabbed Simpson by the hair and yanked him up from the ground.

"You scum, do you even deserve to be my Tissami?"

Max slashed Simpson's throat with a machete, the force and depth of the cut nearly severing half of his neck.

"Max, there's something wrong here!"

A homeless man was shouting "Max!" next to an abandoned shop.

The group immediately drew their guns and went over, only to find a robot wearing a bayonet jacket and a headscarf huddled in a corner of the store, trembling with fear.

Jack immediately recognized it as the Night Wanderer robot that had just escaped.

Vito stepped forward with great interest.

"This robot's expressions and movements are exactly like a human's. No wonder Jack was tricked into choking the robot. I initially thought Jack was paying homage to Captain America."

At this moment, Carmela came over to report to Max.

"The robot has been inspected and is not seriously damaged. It can be used again after repair."

Vito was puzzled after hearing this, and he thought to himself.

"Huh? That shouldn't be the case. The bombs I've collected can severely damage civilian robots, so how come there's only this little damage?"

Vito remained outwardly calm, but he had already realized that Max had held back a trick up his sleeve, and he told Max.

"Now that the Bayonet Gang has taken care of things, let's divide the spoils as we agreed before. I'm going to start picking my spoils now."

Max nodded.

“Okay, I’ll have my people help you.”

Vito first pointed to the robot trembling in the corner.

"I'll take this one with me, and you can have all twenty-odd of the ones charging outside, okay?"

Max thought to himself, this robot looks different from others, but if Vito refuses the first thing he asks, then it will be difficult to say no to anything he wants later.

"This robot was probably stolen from the company by the Bayonet Gang. It might be a new product from a secret experiment. Since you want it, take it with you."

Vito thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

"Old man, you're getting a good deal and now you're trying to raise the price!"

Vito and Max had previously agreed that after taking over the Bayonet Gang's camp, all the items stolen from the Snake Gang would be returned to their rightful owners, while Vito could take items worth 100,000 euros from the Bayonet Gang's possessions.

Max's current move is to increase the value of the robots, thereby making Vito take less supplies and vehicles elsewhere.

Vito didn't want to argue with Max. He had just hacked the Bayonet Gang's account and also took Simpson's money. Simpson generously offered to support the medical dispute mediation cause while being pointed at with a shotgun.

"Okay, I'll take that green Type 66 sports car over there, and the rest are yours, how about it?"

Max was overjoyed upon hearing this and extended his right hand to Vito.

"Great, it's been a pleasure working with you, Vito. Snakebon will transfer some money to you as a token of our appreciation for this collaboration!"

Vito nodded, and he had Jack haul the robot onto the magician's vehicle, install it, and take it away, while he himself boarded the Type 66.

Before leaving, he received a transfer of eight thousand euros from Max.

"Thanks! There's a C7 bomb in your camp, right next to your tent. If you pull the blue wire, the bomb won't explode. It's pretty useful, you can have it!"

After saying that, Vito got into the car, stepped on the gas, and drove away from the town.

Max was startled; it turned out that Vito had also kept a trick up his sleeve.

Chapter 75 Boys, Don't Cry

Finally, the days of eating sand in the wasteland are over. Vito has gained a lot from this trip to the badlands. Considering Romeno's commission fee, life is getting better and better.

The Snake Gang's territory has entered a brief period of peace, but new Night Wanderer gangs may soon emerge.

Most of the night ghosts are exiled wanderers. The land of Badlands is even more concerned with the balance of black and white than the world of Jackie Chan Adventures. If white has been greater than black for too long, an even stronger black will appear.

Vito was driving and chatting with Li Ying, sharing what had just happened. Li Ying also sent Vito a photo, a small framed picture of Jack and Vito on the roof of the Magician's Car.

"How about it? I bought two, one for you and one for Jack. I think it's very meaningful."

Vito and Li Ying would unconsciously smile whenever they started chatting.

"That's great! Jack will definitely love it!"
