Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 64 Escape ([-])

Military calendar year 2552?moon?At night (the task clock time is abnormal), the Civic Center Square.

The moonlight shines through the square glass into the park below, and the dust floating in the air reflects the light everywhere. The "Tyndale effect" makes the moonlight look like silver-white pillars.

[Ellie, how many people are coming to us? ] Tommy watched as the dense red dots overflowed from the edge of the motion detection radar and quickly approached the blue dot in the center.

[There are hundreds of them, their communication channels are as busy as a pot of boiling water. 】

It is not a wise choice to transmit signals now. His first priority should be to keep the few people present alive.

Tommy looked around and saw broken trees, broken boulders, messy lawns, and Falco's "Emperor" chariot.

"Falco, can you take us out?" Tommy asked Falco.

Listening to the roar of the approaching engine, Falco looked embarrassed, but still said: "I'll give it a try!"

Tommy nodded and started to walk to the car.

[Caller: Unknown]

Tommy was startled, and then answered the call request.

[Companies of all sizes have united to suppress you, or in other words - you, cyber demon. ] A vague electronic sound sounded, making it impossible to distinguish the voice of the person coming.

[Ellie, can you trace the source of the signal? ] Tommy asked Ellie.

[Yes, the signal comes from the upper part of Arasaka Tower and is still moving away from Arasaka Tower. 】

After hearing this, Tommy raised his head and looked at the top of Arasaka Tower through the square glass. Dark spots as thin as dust were flying away from the building, dragging blue streamers.

[You can't escape with this weak car, but I can help you. 】The electronic sound sounded again.

A handshake request for data transmission popped up and was put in after Ellie's security scan. A diagram of the electronic internal structure of Arasaka Tower slowly unfolded on Tommy's helmet HUD, and a blue light pointed toward an elevator very close to them. Well, and then slid to the top of Arasaka Tower, where an armored float vehicle was marked in red.

【what do you want? ] Tommy asked him.

【Achieve your goal. 】The purple color connects to the elevator shaft, and then slides into the data center beneath the Arasaka Tower.

[Hang up]

"Beep." A strange sound came, and Tommy followed it and saw a secret door sliding open in the corner of the wall near Arasaka Tower, revealing a pure white corridor inside.

"Tommy, get in the car!" Falco, who was already sitting in the driver's seat, stuck his head out and shouted.

Tommy shook his head, pointed to the secret door and said, "No, let's go another way."

A group of people were running in the corridor, and the sound of "pat-ta-ta-ta-ta" footsteps came and went.

Tommy held Rebecca with his left hand, and carried David on his right shoulder with the prosthetic King Kong limbs removed. The wound on his abdomen was covered with a layer of milky white biological foam.

"Tommy, where are we going?" Falco asked while breathing.

"First go to the underground data center of Arasaka Tower, then escape on the float vehicle on the top of the tower. The ground firepower is too fierce and we can't escape."

Lucy, who followed at the end, frowned and looked around. The familiar smell of Arasaka made her very uncomfortable.

Several people soon came to an open elevator door.

Tommy leaned against the door and glanced towards the end of the corridor to confirm that it was safe. The secret door entrance had been tightly closed.

After they were all inside, Tommy pressed the button leading to the bottom floor, feeling a slight feeling of weightlessness. "Why are we going there?" Falco asked.

"I don't know." Tommy dismissed him casually.

The elevator arrived quickly, and the doors opened from the middle to both sides, and the dark golden wall with the "Arasaka" logo engraved on it came into view.To its left is a small doorless room. Through the wide square glass observation window inside, you can see a cylindrical database machine with a flashing red light.

Tommy walked out of the elevator, walked across the room, came to a conspicuous console under the observation window, and put down the two people on him.

【Take me in. 】The navigation point points to the slot on the console.

Tommy pulled out Ellie's chip and inserted it into the slot, and the lights in the entire room and console came on.

A flash of dark red light attracted Tommy's attention. It was inserted into the transparent connection port in the center of the console.

[Wait for me for a while, I’ll figure this place out first. 】

Tommy pulled up the pulley chair in front of the console and sat down, then gently raised Rebecca, who was sleeping soundly with drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.

"Becca, wake up." He shook Rebecca gently, his light green ponytail swinging in the air.

"Uncle, where are we?" Rebecca woke up leisurely, yawning and muttering.

"A safe place." Tommy pinched her face, feeling a soft touch on his hand, which elicited a look of dissatisfaction.

[After all the data in the database has been copied, I turned off the signal masker here. 】

A cube-like piece and a fusiform-like groove rise from each end of the console, with "UNSC" in white lettering carved into one side of the slot.

[Put the two crystals in. 】

Tommy took out two dim crystals, with only line symbols of unknown meaning glowing faintly on their surfaces.The crystal inserted into the groove and made a "click" sound, and then the groove lowered again, and the protective cover popped up to block Tommy's view.

The red light in the cylindrical data center became brighter and brighter, a "sizzling" static noise came from the communication system inside Tommy's helmet, and the various instruments on the HUD flickered and became blurred.The temperature in the room began to rise, and Falco moved around uneasily behind Tommy's back.

A trembling sensation came from the floor under my feet, and then disappeared immediately, as if the touch just now was just an illusion.

"The signal was successfully transmitted deep into the universe, but as expected, the range was only about 4800 kilometers. I doubt whether it will work. I'm afraid we will have to look at other parts of the planet next. "Ellie's holographic image was projected by the projector on the console, attracting the curious eyes of several people who had never seen her before.

"What signal? What was transmitted?" Falco looked at Ellie and then at Tommy in confusion.

Tommy didn't answer him, but pulled out Ellie's chip and inserted it back into the slot on the back of the helmet.

[I also noticed a very interesting situation. After the signal was sent out, there was a strange high-quality celestial body at coordinates (134, 241) that absorbed the signal on that side, like a black hole. 】The sphere model of Anshan Star is projected on the HUD. A place on the right side of the sphere is marked by a black circle, and the red signal mark around it is so thin that it is almost invisible.

[Astrophysicists might be able to figure it out. 】Tommy put the crystals on both ends of the console back into his tactical belt bag. He would use them again in the future.

The Spartan warrior looked at everyone and said: "Our mission is completed, now we are leaving -"

"どこにいき行きたいですか?" An old and deep voice interrupted him.

"Huh?" Tommy looked at the source of the sound - behind the observation window, in front of the data center, there was a huge blue old man wearing Japanese clothes appearing.

"Arasaka Saburo." Lucy, who was sitting on another chair at the console, murmured as she looked at the shadow. Her face was extremely pale at the moment, and her wrists were shaking slightly.

　I’ll post a warm chapter first, lest some readers think I’ve entered the palace.Later updates were unstable because the world view of Halo was huge and complicated, and BUNGIE and 343 had to read books many times, which made me encounter a lot of difficulties when checking information.

　　Thanks to "rewat", "Spartan Wild Boar Shiyu" and other readers for their tips, a new month is here, monthly ticket ball~, recommended ball~.
