The briefcase was indeed bullet-resistant, but bullets soon struck his body and legs, and with a snap, he pulled the camera down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alpha Enhanced model, your choice without a second thought!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s face turned ferocious as he revealed his prosthetics below the neck—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before a self-sacrificing strike remember to purchase insurance offered by European Bank—your—pre—mi—um protection!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A certain TV station building in Night City suddenly exploded with intense flames; the miraculous briefcase had detonated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn’t just here that exploded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe before, they were just enjoying the thrill through drones using Military Technology, but now it was their turn to enter the fray—Night City truly erupted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pollution of colorful lights began to be rendered by the colors of explosions, and the hammer man’s brain rebooted amidst the chaos—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mackinaw left, but the armor in the rear cargo hold opened instantly, and Jack jumped out with his fists raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene was captured by the sensor above the hammer man’s head, and he knew he had to counterattack, but his brain was completely shut down...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact was too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at this moment that the Skill Chip suddenly activated; his thoughts were still in chaos, but his body began to move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rocket hammer that had been released once again fired up—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The activation of this massive rocket hammer was a grand display, and it was predictable that, though it wasn’t far away, its final velocity would be very fast, so fast that it would be difficult to dodge—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack’s pupils shrank rapidly: It was like boxing. An experienced boxer could try to predict the trajectory of an enemy’s punch at the moment it was thrown and attempt to dodge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you guessed wrong... you would be facing a K.O.!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack stared at the hammer, revealing an excited smile...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t choose to dodge; the thrusters at his searing knuckle joints likewise activated, his body just slightly tilted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inch longer, an inch stronger, at this range, once the opponent’s offense took shape, it would be difficult to defend against such a high-damage weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Jack chose to go on the offensive, stepping inside the trajectory of the swinging hammer, aiming for a head-on counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bullet fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the microseconds of contest, Jack entirely relied on his gut to pull the neural trigger, triggering the gun mechanism inside his searing knuckles amidst the punches, changing the trajectory at the instant both hammer and fist reached peak velocity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their first exchange, hammer and fist crossed paths, the hammerhead missing its target, swinging diagonally over Jack’s head; his fist, following the handle, aimed for the face of the hammer-wielding man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the hammer swung, the Alpha Level cyber prosthetics of the hammer-wielding man twisted in a completely impossible way, his body spinning around the force of the missed swing, his lower half leaping up in a high side sweep using his body’s motion, wrapping around Jack’s punch trajectory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack wasn’t equipped with Si Anweisitan, so he could only sense all this very vaguely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lethal strike came, adrenaline surged, and the lizard rage component within Jack’s body instantly operated at maximum capacity, all eleven remaining 14mm shellless bullets in the magazine fired out, the tremendous recoil fully impacting his body, an awkward posture for absorbing such force, causing the exoskeleton and skeleton to quiver...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of the punch rapidly decreased, and Jack used this force to control his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullets grazed the body of the hammer-wielding man while his deadly sweep also barely missed Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second round of exchanges was equally matched as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what seemed like an equal exchange was actually... Jack still had another hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t just some melee weapon confrontation... this was Cyborg Fighting Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack’s right fist, which had been held in a boxing guard in front of him, suddenly erupted with a tremendous flame...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no third round of exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience in Night City was completely captivated by the fight here, the sound of that hammer strike even echoed in their minds, as the next round of battle had already begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all happened so fast, they saw only the hammer-wielding man slam violently against the armor of the legendary pickup, the vehicle lifting slightly as it drove away, followed by his falling off the truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in an instant as the body armor opened, Jack, wearing his searing knuckles, struck, completing micro-adjustments at an extremely close range that were impossible for the naked eye to catch—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, they saw the hammer-wielding man swing his hammer in a sweeping leg motion, Jack anticipated the distance well, so the leg sweep just barely grazed his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three gunshots. One hit the shutters of a street-side store, turning them into a chrysanthemum pattern; one blew up a trash truck by the curb, and the last, the bullet blew up the hammer man’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hammer spun out of control, embedding itself deep into another Gudela 66 like a rocket, the sports car was cleaved in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack shook his hand and strode back, then leaped high to return to the legendary Mackinaw, which once again set off toward the main stage of the race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevated bridge continued to collapse, the street gained two completely totaled Gudela 66s and a headless corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walls hit by the strikes finally couldn’t bear the burden, peeling off extensively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good thing we have the best security here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who else could stop these three seeded contenders?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, the collision data just now was analyzed by the Zeta Technology XDR—8 reconnaissance drone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1466,"2026-06-03T12:33:29.771Z","2026-06-03T12:33:38.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","a16320546374ae59941614e68d25862de4bd4282f1889bbd2a2e177c9b6ea3c7","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-508","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-506",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
