The gun barrel was obstructed by this fat pig’s flesh. This was an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, it was an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matt had great confidence in his speed—wasn’t he just trading physical prowess for money? He comforted himself this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, he was making money with his life: after all, an athlete who runs slowly just doesn’t earn money; now, if he runs slowly, he’ll turn into minced meat on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not really: Burger King’s brother said that as long as he connected, he could instantly incinerate the Voodoo Gang’s equipment and people. It sounded too fantastical; honestly, he couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was risking his life for money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nervousness, fear, and excitement triggered his body’s potential, adrenaline surged, and his mind became intensely focused. Matt felt like the world was slowing down:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if activating Si Anweisitan would feel the same?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though young, Matt was quite strong. Dexter’s hand was knocked aside, and he looked in astonishment as Matt charged at him with all his might. But soon, he felt a chill run down his spine:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid was running right past his fat body, using him as a human shield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dexter clearly saw the Voodoo Gang member in front of him raising a gun—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Voodoo Gang wouldn’t care about his \"doormat\" life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what he saw was the Voodoo gangster’s head exploding like a watermelon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately following was a sound like an explosive blast. Heavy machine gun bullets blasted through the glass, which shattered and fell like rain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullets of the MK31 heavy machine gun simultaneously shattered the glass on the building’s exterior. The overwhelming firepower made it impossible for the Voodoo Gang inside to raise their heads, and they all halted their charge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bati Hotel was indeed easy to defend but hard to attack. However, the raccoon dog and the MK31’s range easily exceeded 2000 meters, far beyond their surveillance scope!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ambush came suddenly and violently. The Voodoo Gang never expected an attack on the Bati Hotel...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The casualties this assault could cause were very limited; there was no way to penetrate inside. It was a complete waste of bullets?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as V’s scope lined up with the trigger pull, it shifted to another target. Matt had just darted out from Dexter’s fleshy cover, and another Voodoo gangster at the four corners now had a clear shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But V’s gun also just pivoted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dexter had already wet himself. He turned to run, but saw another Voodoo Gang member get shot dead on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too terrifying, too terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the machine gun on the glass made it impossible for him to think. Even worse, the unseen sniper hit every shot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When would it be his turn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation changed in an instant. Two seconds passed, and the once-arrogant Dexter was now scrambling away, while only one of the four advancing Voodoo gangsters still lived. Whether he fired first or the hidden sniper would shoot him remained unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy glass shards fell to the ground. The machine gun’s firepower was indeed fierce, but once they calmed down, they’d realize it was just one heavy machine gun:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t cover the entire building. They had to counterattack, and there was immediately a target to attack:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kid running towards the door was a big problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Voodoo gangsters inside raised their weapons. It would take less than a second to turn Matt into mince meat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But two seconds had already passed, and those two seconds were just enough for Matt to grasp his personal connector and dash under the camera—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored everything around him, only feeling the noise and...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was fucking fast! The bullets couldn’t catch up! He was still alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matt grabbed his personal connector and sprinted to the camera’s base, kicking hard, feeling his muscles almost cramp...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to connect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kid just smashed his personal connector into the camera’s lens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electric currents surged through the camera’s wires into the internal power network. Munemasa’s adaptive software instantly fried all operational facilities. The rooms above the hotel rapidly burst into flames, and an entire floor’s glass shattered under the high temperature and pressure impact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matt didn’t care to brake, crashing into the wall, feeling dizzy and nauseous, unable to stand, sliding down the stairs and landing on his behind, dazedly looking around:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The machine gun stopped, and the sniper also paused. The Voodoo Gang... it seemed they hadn’t even fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burning glass and debris rained down from the sky, like a rain of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Voodoo gangsters lost control, like severed kites. They wanted to pull the trigger but suddenly lost control of their bodies. Sparks flashed from their heads as they stumbled out of the building, tripping down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks flickered from the wires on the ground, the insulation burning and producing black smoke. The smell of burning flesh, gunpowder, and splattered blood...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that rust smell that had shrouded Taiping State since last night, all mixed together, like the scent of a firestorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People in the streets scattered, escaping as if fleeing from him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen such a scene; instead, he had always been running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Burger King’s communication vehicle arrived at the hotel entrance, followed closely by the Animal Gang. These big guys behind Lille silently clicked their tongues:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbelievable, in just a few seconds—maybe less than 5 seconds—the mysterious Voodoo Gang was all down, just like how they usually dealt with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bunch of burly men with weapons walked into the Bati Hotel, kicking the fallen Voodoo gangsters and shaking their heads, sighing, and looking at the three leading bosses...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Wild Man King’s expression changed: winning an arm-wrestling match was one thing, but pulling off something like this... that was another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era, almost everyone used prosthetics. Even their Animal Gang was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was outrageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the kid on the ground did have some guts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone passing by patted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amazing, kid.\" \"What’s your protein powder?\" \"What brand of steroids are you on? Can’t tell, these muscles are solid\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lille approached him, the topic changed slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that fat pig.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille pointed to the trembling Dexter not far away. The fat man had only one lens left on his sunglasses, and his face was full of terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, boss.\" The Wild Man King nodded obediently and lifted Dexter like a chick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Lille turned his gaze to the dazed Matt on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrenaline can push one beyond limits, but excessive secretion can leave people incapacitated afterward, and if extreme, can cause intense pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people would not experience this. Firstly, ordinary people rarely encounter such scenarios, and secondly, it required a bit of talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To perform in such situations, training was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, well done.\" Lille extended a hand to pull Matt up, pointing to his own head-jack interface. \"I can’t transfer the money now, but I’ll add interest later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matt’s mind was blank, but as Lille helped him up, he quickly regained his senses:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... oh... okay... okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You trained?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I trained.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matt nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille shook his head and walked into the Bati Hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training in sports at ten?\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-06-03T12:33:32.470Z","2026-06-03T12:33:39.371Z",1,"novelbin.me","d7132838b5126df08e7157e169d51c2e923a14f774eaaaed28e07ab0a2d3e6f9","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-594","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-592",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
