death of hope

Chapter 401 "Corporate Warrior" (312) Survival from Desperation
Noriko Nishikawa pedaled with his left foot, moved to Lynch's sideways position, held the scabbard with his left hand and turned outward,
The muscles of the whole body were tense, like a fully stretched bowstring, and the right hand drew the saber, slashing from Lynch's left flank to the upper right shoulder, and at the same time shouted out the name of the move:

"に衣をつける切り!"

(Cassock cutting!)
This is one of the classic moves of sword drawing. The line of the samurai sword is like the neckline of the cassock worn by Buddhist monks, so it is called cassock chopping.

With the help of psychic mind-reading ability, Lynch had already started to dodge in advance, but the speed of the opponent's sword drawing was as fast as lightning.
The unsheathed samurai sword is like a silver snake coming out of its hole, and the body that has become overwhelmed by excessive use of psionic energy has become sluggish, unable to keep up with the female ninja's speed.

(So ​​fast!) Lynch cursed inwardly: (Damn...can't dodge...can only resist with shield...)
At the moment when the blade was about to hit the energy shield, Noriko Nishikawa abruptly stopped the violent slash, and the speed of the katana suddenly slowed down, as if in slow motion.

As Sigfazi said before, she knows how to break Lynch's defenses.

The individual portable energy shield worn by Lynch is an energy field that covers half a meter around the wearer.
It is a high-tech imitation equipment imitated by Terra Federation scientists by dismantling alien creations. Humans have not really mastered its related technologies. The imitation works unstable, the yield rate is very low, and the cost is extremely high.

Therefore, it has not been installed on a large scale, and it is only used as a conceptual weapon to equip elite troops.

Due to high energy consumption, the energy field is not always on, and the short-range scanner mounted on the shield can intelligently identify threats near the wearer.

For example, high-speed bullets, heat rays, grenade fragments, swords, etc., the shield will instantly operate at full power to intercept threats or reduce damage, thereby protecting the wearer.

But once the enemy's weapon approaches the wearer at a very low speed, it will not be recognized as a threat by the scanner, and the shield will not activate.

The combat chip implanted by Noriko Nishikawa recorded the weakness of the energy shield. By transforming the human brain, dead knowledge was transformed into flexible actual combat use.

First, he deceived the opponent with the powerful and swift cassock slash, and slowed down the speed at the moment the blade invaded the range of the shield.

This requires extremely powerful physical functions and precise distance calculations, and the powerful cyber-engineer Noriko Nishikawa has both.

This is the ultimate masterpiece that Dr. Mad is proud of, the perfect combination of life and machinery, even the legendary paratrooper Beast Lynch has to be defeated.

The slow samurai sword successfully tricked the shield, and the slash turned into a straight stab, piercing the stomach, and the point of the knife came out of the back.

Dr. Crazy shook his fist excitedly and shouted: "Good job! Fazi! You are the strongest!"

"Sig...why?! Do you really want to kill me?!"

The body and mind were hit twice. The seriously injured Marcus Lynch erupted with a burst of spiritual power, which aroused a strong shock wave. .

With strong leg muscles and electronic muscle bundles, Noriko Nishikawa stopped quickly, the blood on the samurai sword flowed to the ground, and the people in black around were thrown enough, some sprained their feet, and some broke their heads.

"Wow! It's so handsome! What's that move?!" Dr. Crazy showed a greedy expression; "Teach me, Mr. Lynch, I want to study psychic power. If you help me, I will win the next Nobel Prize." It's stable."

The internal organs were severely damaged, and Marcus Lynch half-knelt down, vomiting blood, but he was seriously injured and dying, but he refused to show weakness at all, cursing:

"Dream... old lunatic..."

"Mr. Lynch, your condition looks very bad. Please allow this old man to dissect your body to explore the secrets of psychic power. This can be regarded as a contribution to science."

Marcus Lynch wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and looked at the female ninja. Noriko Nishikawa's bright electronic prosthetic eyes were staring at him fiercely, like an eagle staring at a hare.

(I couldn't fight... and couldn't wake her up... a complete failure.

Was her soul taken?Only the AI ​​program is left... I have been fighting for a lifetime... Is this the end... I am not reconciled...)
"It's really hard work for you, great hero, but it's a pity that you refuse to cooperate with the old man, otherwise, you wouldn't have reached the step of dissection." Dr. Lyman D. Zega rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his watch:

"It's getting late, and it's time to call it a day, Miss Fazi, help Mr. Lynch out, have a good time, and don't make him suffer."

"Of order." Noriko Nishikawa said emotionlessly, "I will cut off his head with one blow."

(I'm really... so stupid... a person, unarmed, came to the appointment, and ended up with a ruined family...

I'm such a...unqualified husband...unqualified father...I'm sorry, Sig, if there is an afterlife, let's meet again...)
His body was getting colder and colder, which was a signal of excessive blood loss. Coupled with the side effects of psionic energy, he couldn't use his strength and had no chance to resist.

"Wait... I have a request."

Lynch held up a bloody hand. "Dr. Lehman, at least... give a father one last look at his children, my little Franz, and Sarah..."

"What a coincidence." Dr. Crazy shook his head: "Those two children have been taken away from the colony long ago, don't worry, they are important research materials, and my colleagues will not treat them badly."

Lynch saw a pair of slender legs approaching him, and a slender hand reached into his pocket and took out the energy shield generator, which he casually put aside.

He felt the cold samurai sword on his neck, closed his eyes, and a strong sleepiness hit him,
He was so tired, looking forward to returning to that warm home in his dream.

"Boom! Bang bang!" There was a series of explosions and gunshots, as if someone had broken into the ice rink.

"Who is it?" Dr. Mad's voice yelled, "How did they bring in hot weapons? Isn't guns banned on Signus Five?"

"Doctor! A group of mercenaries rushed in, and our outer defense suffered heavy casualties!"

"Shunji Yamada and the others are still desperately resisting... How can katana and shuriken beat assault rifles and grenades... They are about to come in!"

"The only hope now is to take the escape route to the south, where there are fewer enemies."

"Fazi Xichuan! Leave this guy alone and protect the old man from escaping!"

"As ordered..."

After a long time, the gunfire gradually stopped...

Unexamined... in a trance...

Half asleep and half awake, Lynch felt weightless and floated up.

(Is this... dead?

Heaven...or Hell...

No...it was being carried on a stretcher...)
"Oh wow, this dude is really heavy."

"I guess it weighed 300 pounds."

Someone lifted his eyelids and shone with a flashlight.

"Alive! But the breathing is very weak!"

"Suppress the wound and give him a blood transfusion! He has type B blood."

(This voice...why is it so familiar...)
"Boss, those orientals desperately escorted an old man away. The people from the second group chased after him, but none of them came back... There is a very powerful guy on the other side!"

"Stop chasing! Get my brother into the car! Let's withdraw!"

(This voice...could it be...)
Marcus Lynch tried his best, but he could only make a weak voice:

"Old company commander..."

"Blood pressure has recovered a bit, and I am conscious."

Lynch felt a warm, rough, and powerful hand clasp his palm,
He forced himself to open his eyes, and saw a rough man with a beard and a camouflage cap smiling at him.

The skull emblem on the hat is the famous military contractor Blackwater.

Johnny Blazer spat out the half-smoked cigar in his mouth, held his hand and said:
"Long time no see, brother."
