Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 25 Lakeside Town ([-])
Badlands Highway.

Only half of the golden stars on the edge of the skyline were left, and the dazzling light hit Tommy's helmet.

"Are you feeling better about your brother?" The sky in front was dark, and the wind seemed to be getting stronger.

"I've known for a long time that there would be such a day. Our team has not always been just a few of us. A few came before, and a few left - most of them turned into minced meat." Rebecca always said I never seem to get tired of chewing bubble gum.

"But, I didn't expect to die in this way." Rebecca clenched her fists, "Died at the hands of a bald man with exhibitionism. Looking back, it's really a mediocre life."

There seemed to be more and more grains of sand carried in the wind, and the front was as gloomy as the mouth of a ferocious beast.

"The sandstorm is coming. Let's find a place to take shelter. It seems we won't be able to reach Lakeside Town tonight." Tommy stepped on the accelerator, hoping to find a place to take shelter before the sandstorm completely swallowed them up.

"If we can't find it, we can spend the night in the car." Rebecca didn't seem to care much about finding a place to hide. Maybe spending the night in a small car would suit her better.

Things never go as planned, especially for Rebecca.

"There is a house over there, let's go in and take shelter."

"Damn houses, there are already a lot of them in Night City, why are they here too?" If Tommy hadn't been around, Rebecca would have smashed these houses.

Parking the "Beauty" in a sheltered place, bringing some food and water, the two braved the wind and sand and entered the house.

"Bah, bah." Rebecca wiped her face and spit out the sand in her mouth.

The room was dark, and the switch beside the door did not respond. Tommy's night vision ability could clearly see the mess in the room.

"It looks like no one has been here for a long time, and the electricity is not connected. I'm going to look for a place with electricity." Tommy wore a helmet to avoid the pain of eating yellow sand.

[There is a transformer box there, the switch is off, turn it on. 】Ellie scanned and gave the navigation point.

Looking at the navigation points displayed on the helmet's HUD, the transformer box was locked tightly.

The last time this happened was the Revenant piloted by a Jiralhanae.The trembling Jiralhanae hid in the Wraith and did not dare to come out. Tommy grabbed the hatch of the Wraith and tore it open. A plasma grenade sent the Jiralhanae on its pilgrimage ahead of schedule.

The iron door of the transformer box was no stronger than the hatch - Tommy grabbed it, tore it off like a plastic cover from yogurt, and tossed it aside.

"Uncle, I think you're about to catch up with Adam Hammer." Rebecca complained as she looked at the twisted door lying on the ground.

Pulling the switch, the light on the ceiling of the room flickered twice and then came on.

"Who is Adam Hammer?" Tommy took out the water and packaged synthetic meat from the package and handed it to Rebecca.

"Arasaka's number one thug, Night City's strongest fighting force." Rebecca tore open the package of synthetic meat and took a bite. It tasted like plastic.

In the future, I will have more and more contact with Arasaka. Maybe I will meet him, so I should collect information in advance.

Tommy patted the dust on the sofa and spread the blanket from the car on it.

"Aren't you going to take off your armor?"

"It's not safe here." Tommy took off his helmet and took a sip of water.

"How to solve the problem of wearing armor all the time when going to the toilet?" Rebecca asked the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

"The armor has a excrement collection system. It just needs to be processed regularly. And the molecular food we eat on the ship makes us almost no excrement." Tommy leaned on the sofa, looked at the ceiling, and thought about the possible dangers tonight. .

"You're right, if you go back then, take me with you." Rebecca jumped on the sofa, then leaned into Tommy's arms and continued chewing "plastic."

"It's not like we're playing house when we go back. The battlefield environment is even worse than Night City." Tommy put the Magnum pistol on one side. From this distance, he could reach it and shoot at any time. "Ha, that's right. Just being with you is fine." Rebecca spoke frankly.

Tommy glanced at Rebecca, but another exquisite face appeared in his mind. The two were surprisingly similar in this aspect.

"It's getting late, go to bed quickly, I'll keep watch." Tommy avoided the topic.

"Can't sleep, your armor is killing people." Rebecca patted the "Thor Hammer" and made a "puff" sound.

"Go sleep there." Tommy pointed to the other side of the sofa.

"I don't want it! I want to sleep with you!" Rebecca refused to reason with Tommy at all.

"You are so willful, be careful of the Grunts coming to catch you at night." Tommy patted Rebecca on the head, took another blanket, rolled it up into a pillow and put it on his lap.

"I'm not a three-year-old child, so I'm afraid you'll scare me." Rebecca lay on Tommy's lap, automatically imagining the Grunt as a robot wolf or something like that.

From this angle, you can see Tommy's face, cold and white, why?Maybe it's because I always wear a helmet and don't take it off very often.

Rebecca drifted off to sleep in her thoughts.

Late at night, the wind and sand in the bad land still showed no intention of stopping.

"Boss! There is a house ahead! Let's go in and take shelter!" Scarface's men ran back from the front and shouted.

"Bah, shit, I didn't even get any shit today, and there was a damn sandstorm." Scarface spat out the sand in his mouth, and waved his hands to let his men approach the house.

"Boss, there seems to be someone in the house, what should I do?" The rookie in the team said to him with a stupid face.

"Are you a bad guy? Kill them all!" Scarface slapped him in the face, causing stars to pop out in front of his eyes. He was already in a bad mood today, but this bully came to ask for a slap.

Um?Why did the rookie fall to the ground and stop moving?When did my hands become so strong?
[Call: Stephen]

【No one heard】

Why can't I contact the idiot who ran towards the house?There is something wrong with this house!

Scarface was timid, turned around and ran to the car.

An inaudible gunshot came, and Scarface's neck was directly broken. His head rolled on the ground next to the wheel, and he stared at the sky covered by the wind and sand with wide eyes.

Scarface didn't die immediately not because Tommy wanted to tease him, but because the sniper rifle in Tommy's hand could only be loaded with four bullets at a time.

"Bang" Tommy closed the door carefully, trying not to make too much noise so as not to wake up the sleeping Rebecca, but Rebecca, who had been fighting for a long time, did not sleep soundly either.

"What's wrong?" Rebecca asked sleepily.

"Go out and swat a few flies." Tommy returned to sit on the sofa.

A few red dots appeared on the motion detector just now, and Ellie also gave a warning. He went out through the window, climbed up to the roof, and used a sniper rifle to kill several people with bad intentions - they all had firearms in their hands. The fierce eyes don’t look like they’re here to cheer the Pelican on.

"Ignore the flies and go to sleep." Rebecca couldn't keep her eyes open and crawled onto Tommy's lap and fell asleep again.
