Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

On the second day of the warm pot party, Lucy called Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao over, and confessed to her face that she had made a mistake: the Striker implant did have a problem that it could not be disassembled or upgraded after it was fully installed.

"There are a total of 12 joint implants and corresponding accessories in the whole set. If you install four or less, it can still be disassembled safely. As the number increases, the difficulty of disassembly increases sharply. It is generally believed that when more than 8 are installed, disassembly will be difficult. Life is in danger, 12 of them are full, and they will die as soon as they are dismantled." Lucy said: "This is a method for the army to control talents, and it is not in the public manual, so I ignored it."

Lucy is just a middleman, not all-knowing and omnipotent, she doesn't know that this matter is justifiable.But as the implant manufacturer, Ryuko Shinra, it is a bit unreasonable not to mention this matter at all.Lucy had greater doubts about the safety of the transaction, set up more safety isolation measures, and at the same time changed all the types of implants requested to driving assistance suits.

The driving assistance suit is an implant for drivers and assistants. Its main strengthening direction is to improve the user's strength and endurance, and increase their ability to overcome various terrains.His biggest feature is the power output implant in the center of the back, which can store electricity and provide shadow energy to other equipment according to the operator's needs.

Most combat vehicles use a combination of steam and electric motors, with the steam engine being the main source of power.The driver assistance package can provide additional energy to the electric motor part, thereby increasing the power of the vehicle or other auxiliary equipment for a short time.Due to the large size of the steam engine and the poor stability of the battlefield, an extra auxiliary power is often the difference between staying and waiting for death and moving to escape.

In addition to drivers and operators, medical personnel also often need to carry power in order to be able to start some medical equipment.Equipment such as blood filtration toxins, assisted breathing, ECG monitoring, and chainsaws for amputation are directly connected to the back, saving the need for portable generators.

During the Corporate War, the army began equipping logistics personnel with some auxiliary exoskeletons, allowing them to carry heavy loads and even install armored vehicle engines and gun emplacements without a crane.The driving assistance suit can be connected with the exoskeleton to reduce the difficulty of operation and improve work efficiency.Although the driving assistance kit is not the latest technology today, it can also be called "backward" in some aspects, but it can be connected to the exoskeleton, which greatly improves its upgrade potential and gives it the opportunity to keep up with the most advanced technology of the times. that part of the technology.

But it's ultimately just an auxiliary suit, not a combat implant.There is no high-speed, high-explosion, nor high-defense, and the manifestations of high-strength are mainly continuous pushing, lifting and squeezing, rather than high momentum.

"If it's someone else, I'd still recommend them to install the Striker suit." Lucy said very matter-of-factly: "The Striker provides high speed and high burst, and can finish the opponent in an instant, or jump up to five floors at once. This ability is too attractive to ordinary mercenaries, and it is definitely enough for them to eat for a lifetime. But you are different. You have inherited the martial arts of Strangers of Famine and have higher requirements for yourself. Focus only on the present and give up on the future.”

"It's actually not that serious. No matter what kind of implant, what kind of combat power it can eventually display, the root cause is still people." Ge Gongdao said: "It's not that the attacker is bad, it's just that it's not practical to use. I always feel It's a bit awkward."

Lucy nodded, and said: "I can fully understand your feelings. When choosing an implant, you should really consider the future more. Implants are something that is constantly evolving, and there will definitely be better things in the future. Striker The suit was advanced during the company war, not necessarily now, and definitely not in the future. Well... it is also good to choose driving assistance, but you don't need special training."

"I still want to train. It won't hurt to learn more, especially in battlefield management." Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his hands and said, "PCPD's introductory training is still too basic, and master's martial arts are more used for confrontation Rather than fighting as a whole. Sister Lucy, after we install the implants, we will face the pressure of daily maintenance fees, and we need to earn more money, but earning more money means working harder and facing more dangers."

"Actually, the relationship between income and danger is not that direct, but it's always right to learn more skills." Lucy sighed, and said, "Before you said you went to find military trainers, then I don't care about that." Yes. Then there is the matter of the Viper. He is acting together with the casino group, and now it is an extraordinary period, and this matter is a bit difficult...I want to advise you to wait until the casino group leaves Peicheng before acting."

"But the Viper must have left by then." Ge Gongdao shook his head, and said, "I know that kid's character very well, and he was the first to run away when the situation was not good. If it wasn't for being coerced by the casino group, he would never dare Come to Peicheng."

"From the perspective of overall interests, avoiding this turmoil is the best choice. I can understand Miss Lucy's thoughts, but there are things in this world that go beyond the choice of interests." Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said: "Viper He must die, no one can keep him, but can we change the angle. It is not us who kill him, but he who comes to kill us?"

Lucy shook her body, then poked Zhuang Xuteng with her finger, and said: "This is a good idea, maybe it can be operated. We are impatient, and Viper is flustered. It stands to reason that flustered people are more nervous than impatient ones. Now Viper must try to avoid it. Being found and killed by us will cause him a lot of psychological pressure. If there is an opportunity in front of him, a chance to kill Brother Dao and be safe forever, do you think he will be tempted?"

Ge Gongdao also understood, he slapped his thigh and said, "You just let me be the bait!"

"Yes, that's exactly what it means." Zhuang Xuteng said, "Let's analyze Viper's psychology and assume his role. He belongs to the Blood Bat Gang now, and the Blood Bat Gang is our gang in Peicheng. Do you feel that being cowarded in front of Ge Gongdao might affect his prestige in the gang?"

Ge Gongdao nodded, and said: "Indeed. That kid came from a mercenary to a gang, and the middleman who joined him before was killed, which is equivalent to the death of the boss above - this is a very cheap thing in a gang. He must need prestige more than anyone else."

Zhuang Xuteng continued to analyze: "We need prestige more, and we need to take the initiative to do things more. If he heard that brother Dao was injured at this time, would he think of taking advantage of it and once and for all? Of course, it is not without risk to lure him out. He will definitely face pressure from both the Blood Bat Gang and the Casino Group. I think Viper will definitely find ways to mobilize and use the power around him, which is also in line with his psychology of wanting to act and being afraid of acting."

"Nike, you are counting Viper as dead..." Lucy praised: "I agree with your analysis. After getting the news, Viper will either continue to pretend to be cowardly, or it will activate two forces. Let's go Finding the casino group is completely different from the casino group being fooled into coming to us, and there is a lot of room for manipulation."

After hearing this, Ge Gongdao waved his hands again and again, and said, "No. It's too dangerous to face the Blood Bat Gang and the Casino Group at the same time. I can't let everyone take this risk."

Zhuang Xuteng had a different opinion, saying: "Let's go to Viper and enter his home court. We also have to face the Blood Bat Gang and the Casino Group, and the risk is even greater. Bringing him out to our home court actually reduces the risk." Yes. The key to this matter is how to get him hooked, which will inevitably involve a lot of intelligence work, especially a play."

"I understand the intelligence aspect, but your acting..." Lucy asked, "What does that mean?"

"I have to say hello to the people in the casino group. I said that Viper was a mercenary in the past and did something that betrayed his companions. Now that he is back, the mercenaries betrayed by him want to get justice, so I talked to the casino in advance. Report to the group."

"Dangerous, but a good move." Lucy held her forehead with one hand, and said while thinking: "First make the conflict public, so that the Casino Group and the Blood Bat Gang will become the same state. They are all concerned about this matter." This will cause a lot of psychological pressure on the Viper. Well... now this matter has great operational value, but you have to pay special attention to your own safety, in case the casino group is against you."

Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said, "It's up to you to prepare the information ahead. I'm going to talk to the casino group's people in Peicheng in the past two days. Sister Lucy, give me a contact information?"

"I'll send it to you later." Lucy then asked, "Nike, do you think Henry Henderson should be notified about this?"

"It's a little redundant, it seems too deliberate. In this matter, the two people on the bright side are me and Brother Dao. The more people there are, the less real it will be."

"You're right." Lucy nodded, and said, "That's it. I'm going to make preparations, and you all pay attention to safety. All right, let's go, I'm going to get busy again."

As soon as he came out of Lucy's office, Ge Gongdao grabbed Zhuang Xuteng and asked, "I was dumbfounded inside. Why did Lucy's attitude change so quickly? It's because the other party came to the door, so it's easier to explain?"

"Explanation? What Lucy wants is not to give an explanation, but to kill them. Let's go home first." Zhuang Xuteng waited until he was in a safer closed environment, and then explained: "It's not right to be stared at all the time." It’s good, it’s not only about Viper, but also about us. Viper is being watched by you, and we are being watched by the casino group. Of course, the casino group doesn’t know who the specific enemy is, and the eyes of the man-marking are not focused, but it’s still very clear. uncomfortable."

Ge Gongdao nodded, and said, "Indeed. Lucy is better than Viper in that she can stand still and not be attracted."

"But like the Viper, we all hope to solve the problem of being targeted. The key is whether there is an opportunity to solve the opponent. This opportunity must first be beneficial to us, and it can eliminate the enemy or at least severely strike the enemy. Then this opportunity must be Considering what to do if it fails, it needs a way to stop losses. After all, the headquarters of the casino group is not in Peicheng, and no matter how successful our operation is, we can’t really get it done once and for all.”

"Oh... I understand. It is a good opportunity for Viper to come to me. Even if the casino group suffered serious losses, after all, they took the initiative. If you don't want to make too many enemies in Peicheng, they will never be able to find it." If the enemy is gaining nothing, then the fight cannot continue.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, but he could only agree with half of this sentence.Weak people will not necessarily die down after suffering a loss, and may become crazy.When weak, it is often necessary to show a more frightening and terrifying state than usual to hedge and cover up the real situation inside.There is a word called "dying madness", which refers to this state.

On the other hand, those who have confidence in their hearts and guns in their hands can control their own rhythm.The jumping clowns might take advantage of the giant's face with dirt and a scratch on his clothes, but they can't change the ending.The Giant went on about his business, and carried out his plans, and would eventually use the Joker's body to mop up the dirt and mend his clothes with its hide.

Brother Dao took a deep breath, patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder, and said, "You've thought so much in a flash..."

"No, I'm not that smart. I've been thinking about it for several days." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I've been thinking about how to use Lucy's resources, that is, to drag her into the water, so I came up with such a method. It happened that she Today, I tactfully proposed to put aside the matter of chasing and killing Vipers temporarily, so I will throw out the method. Brother Dao, is it not good for me to plan the middleman like this?"

"You did it for me." Ge Gongdao smiled gratifiedly, and said, "I didn't dislike the lack of money and boring things that day, and it was definitely my great luck to give a platform to the demonstration."

"That day was not a demonstration, but a sit-in to defend rights."

"Well... I have to tell you something." Ge Gongdao frowned, and said, "In addition to going to the platform that day, there was actually another task. If there is a confrontation on the spot, then booing, making the situation more chaotic, and finally It’s easy to have a conflict. As long as you successfully provoke an incident, in addition to the appearance fee, there will be an additional bonus of [-] euros.”

Zhuang Xuteng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.Although the main reason for the disturbance that day was the Lich Master's escape, he couldn't assume that the company wouldn't take action.By the way, they didn't have any good intentions when they brought Master Lich there, and they also had no good intentions when they arranged for the mercenaries at the station to take the opportunity to pick things up.Hmph, if the company had good intentions, it wouldn't be the company it is now.

"It's okay, we had expected it before we went, but we didn't expect that the mercenaries would participate. I just thought that the Blood Bat Gang would show up to the Scarlet Group to disperse us. We set the principle of only sitting quietly and not conflicting, just to watch The PCPD would be there, they couldn't just sit back and watch the gangs do it, could they? Turns out, we were naive."

Ge Gongdao comforted: "At least you have grown up now, and you will no longer have naive thoughts."

"Have I grown up? I don't feel enough. I feel that in the eyes of the company, I'm still very naive. But... Hey, the phone rang." Zhuang Xuteng looked at the number, and it turned out to be a shooting star. Could it be that she was in danger?Zhuang Xuteng quickly picked it up.

"Hey! How long are you going to talk about? Because of you, I have been assigned a lot of work, and some of them require you to coordinate. Come to me quickly. Come here by yourself, don't bring a big guy or a fried cat!"

It's fine.Zhuang Xuteng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, Lucy is starting to arrange things. You think about how to be a bait, and I will prepare to negotiate with people. Hey, Brother Dao, don't you come to visit empty-handed? What should I bring?" Would a meeting be better?"

"Let me think about it, I'll prepare it for you." Ge Gongdao gave a thumbs up and said, "In the final analysis, this is my business, and I can't let you spend money."

"Since you said so, I'm not polite." Zhuang Xuteng said goodbye to Ge Gongdao by high-fiving, and then walked down the stairs, opening the meteor isolation door step by step.
