And you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Hans had white hair, a neatly groomed long beard on his chin, and wore a red suit that was both formal and stylish. Compared to the new generation, he wasn’t ostentatious, and compared to the old generation, he wasn’t rigid; he was classic but not outdated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both his arms were hidden within the long sleeves, and his ten precious metal fingers gleamed under the lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him was an Arasaka ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no ordinary ninja. This ninja spoke clearly, with all his prosthetics hidden beneath a black special forces ninja combat suit: prosthetic eye, radar, military scanner...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All observational equipment would be significantly less effective on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like the legends, coming and going without a trace. Even if your eyes were biological, you could only see the pitch-black combat suit. No one knew what prosthetics, equipment, and weapons lay beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t just any Arasaka ninja; he was one of the legendary Death Soldiers of Arasaka.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will be rewarded. The company highly appreciates your cooperation. You can continue working here. As for your former employer... once this is over, none of that will matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hans silently said nothing, contemplating deeply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mention of kids was obviously not for nothing; he had a child too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, though he thought he had hidden it well, the information had somehow leaked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For his child... if other children needed to be sacrificed, then so be it. This world is like that—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if one wanted to repent and buy indulgences, one would need money first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hans lifted his head, only to find the ninja had already left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling bitter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a passionate youth, nor was he a good person, but he wasn’t entirely bad either. Frankly, deep down, he admired Lille:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had numbed his heart for many years, seeing what the three of them had done in Night City, it was impossible not to be moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This admiration slightly changed when they brought trouble to him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are afraid to make choices, especially those that clearly affect their own lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled up a photo of his child in his visual system...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, for now, he was still a good father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Susan: Bomb has detonated, searching for the target...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The modified Scorpion-tailed Lion armored vehicle sped through the air above buildings. Dressed in a full set of special operations gear, Susan Forrest hung on the outside of the vehicle, scanning the hell she personally created as the vehicle moved:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ridiculous-looking Mackinaw Floating Car suddenly rushed out from the ruins, and the scanner in her prosthetic eye blared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mackinaw sped out of the debris, raising a large cloud of wreckage. Amid the smoke and dust, a revolver bullet shot out—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susan gave a slight shake of her head as the bullet hit the Scorpion-tailed Lion vehicle behind her—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet struck the vehicle, instantly erupting into flames and an explosion: it was an explosive bullet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susan dodged the explosion but didn’t let her guard down. There was a sound of air being sliced in the thin atmosphere, and a huge chunk of steel-reinforced concrete shot out from the smoke, narrowly missing the side of the Scorpion-tailed Lion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vehicle wobbled slightly in the air before continuing on—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Susan: Target spotted, they’re still alive!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bitch, fuck you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hansen, looking like a mad black egg, gripped one of the car handles with one hand while wildly firing his high-explosive handgun with the other. Bullets cut through the smoke, leaving visible traces, and coupled with the projectiles Jack continuously threw, Susan couldn’t peek out from the car—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Scorpion-tailed Lion had compromised on equipment to carry more than two tons of bombs; after completing the bombing task, it only had mobility left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should ram into them!\" Hansen reloaded after an empty round, roaring at Lille, \"Kill that bitch...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Mai suddenly dove, causing Hansen’s bald head to smash against the car ceiling—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t curse because he had activated the Si Anweisitan a moment earlier. He could distinctly hear the sound of the car body being hit by gunfire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the chaos, Hansen reacted, realizing the dive was due to a sniper attack, but he couldn’t control his body. Ultimately, Jack grabbed and pulled him back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a sniper on the roof!\" V squinted, his vision not fully restored, but he screamed based on hearing alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Mai dove rapidly, descending into the ruins of the street below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille stayed tense, with multiple radars and optical observation devices in his wheelchair fully activated. He monitored the surroundings amidst the noise and interference like a small radar—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The AI-level super data sensitivity made him keenly aware that someone was actually ambushing in these burning ruins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know... be careful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four black-clad figures suddenly sprang out from the ruins on both sides!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Blade unsheathed in mid-air, revealing its accurate temperature: 1700 degrees Celsius!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things happened in an instant. Their prosthetic-enhanced legs had surpassed the analogy of \"spring legs\". As they leaped from the ruins, the weakened building structures collapsed under their weight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Mai and Lille shared information in sync; what Lille saw, Da Mai saw. The vehicle changed direction at a response speed beyond the imagination of their enemies, performing an extreme sideways roll in mid-air to achieve a sharp turn...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a floating car had activated Si Anweisitan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy vehicle dodged one ninja’s attack and sent another flying with a hard collision—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But two other ninjas took the opportunity to hook their blades onto the tail of the Floating Shadow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 1700-degree Mantis Blade could instantly pierce most armor, but it only left a white scratch on the surface of the Chroni Titanium...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These well-trained Arasaka ninjas quickly adjusted, thrusting their blades into the Floating Shadow where the explosion had warped the surface!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extreme acceleration made them sway in mid-air. In that moment of swaying, the ninja on the left rear saw everything spinning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V decapitated him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Jack’s reaction was just a bit slower:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he extended his arm and head to crush the ninja on the right rear, a blinding red light erupted from the ninja—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, he was a human bomb!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack’s heartbeat skipped, and he stretched out his big hand towards the detonating figure despite the risk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suicide bomb—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The close-range explosion completely disrupted the Floating Shadow’s flight, causing one of its vector engines to malfunction, adding insult to injury—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive armored floating pickup lost control and spiraled toward the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>",1128,"2026-06-03T12:33:34.019Z","2026-06-03T12:33:40.482Z",1,"novelbin.me","999cadbc47a899335c3c2ff7b5c4eaf0585f72a0221860ce4fb6e787fa689fd2","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-684","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-682",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
