Chapter 697 - 668: Positive Strength (5)
When the Samurai Sword pierced the flames and caught up from behind, Adam Hammer suddenly had a strange feeling:
The Arasaka Ninja was attacking him?!
This Samurai Sword was so sharp it seemed almost indistinguishable from the Single Molecule Blade used by the Arasaka Core Ninja, powered by the full-body Prosthetics of the Tiger Claw Gang’s leader, Maekawa Takeshi.
Adam Hammer had to retract his weapon, while the thruster in his leg delivered a flying kick to David’s face—
Bam!
In a world where only Si Anweisitan could keep up, Hammer kicked the sniper rifle out of David’s hands, then used the hardest part of his forearm to block Maekawa’s attack!
Sparks flew everywhere, and this gigantic machine appeared in the eyes of everyone else.
"Tiger Claw Gang scum!"
"Pitiful Arasaka monster!"
Maekawa was pushed back with immense force, two motorcycles followed closely, two other fully prosthetic members of the Tiger Claw Gang simultaneously attacked Adam Hammer’s left and right legs...
Whoosh!
The thrusters in the cyber monster’s legs started at full power, the nozzles contracting in a specific way to make the flames spray in a ring, effectively turning it into an anti-infantry defense system!
On the vehicle, Man and Dolly urgently secured Pila and Rebecca, the wave of flames directly blew away the Tiger Claw Gang’s ninja, followed by missiles heading Hammer’s way—
Boom!
For a moment, Hammer stepped on two exploding fireballs, rising high with the help of the thrusters!
Maekawa had just jumped back onto his low-version Blast Ride motorcycle, watching his two brothers get taken down, his eyes wide with rage: these core members of the Tiger Claw Gang had also replaced their bodies with prosthetics, losing such brothers, how could he not feel pain?!
The two riderless motorcycles immediately activated their self-destruct sequence, aiming at Adam Hammer in the sky!
Boom!
The enormous explosion engulfed Adam Hammer in flames, more motorcycles carrying Tiger Claw Gang elites swept through the streets, clearing a path for David’s Mackinaw.
Maekawa sped up to David’s window: "No matter what you’re planning, hurry up and go!"
"You..."
Hu!
The thrusters on Hammer blew away all the fire and smoke in an instant, the enormous cyber monster dashed out of the flames, missiles behind him scattered like a goddess spreading flowers, aiming at the Tiger Claw Gang, his body rotating in the air, each shot from his heavy machine gun locking onto an enemy...
All of this was so fast it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye!
Maekawa kicked his motorcycle, the Samurai Sword in his hand slicing through the air, hacking towards Hammer...
But this gigantic figure even had the ability to adjust his landing posture, his massive metal feet fiercely stomped onto Maekawa’s blade!
Boom!
Another round of explosions, the seemingly aggressive Tiger Claw Gang reinforcements couldn’t even break Adam Hammer’s defense...
Or rather, they didn’t even pose a threat!
Bam!
Maekawa was kicked and slammed onto the Mackinaw’s roof, while Adam Hammer was stopped from advancing, still landing on the ground at high speed, his metal legs skidding along, causing fierce sparks and gravel to fly!
He was slightly surprised:
He thought he would crush Maekawa’s mysteriously sourced full-body prosthetics like stepping on a rock, but unexpectedly, what they had wasn’t just for show?
The feel was like stepping on a rather sturdy piece of iron—
He could easily crush iron, but Maekawa wasn’t really a block of iron, what surprised Hammer was Maekawa’s prosthetics could actually withstand the impact and use the force to rebound!
On the vehicle, David patted the roof: "Looks like you can’t stop him!"
Acido shouted excitedly: "I thought the Tiger Claw Gang were losers too, but you’re really badass!"
A black line threatened to appear on Maekawa’s forehead.
The Tiger Claw Gang didn’t send people to Taiping State anymore because there really weren’t many of them left.
But Maekawa didn’t think the Tiger Claw Gang would survive without Lille: this gang only rose to prominence after the nuclear explosion thanks to the Arasaka Group.
This year, Burger King severed their ties with the company and killed a lot of people, but also gave them a lifeline...
Once aboard, there’s no escape, Maekawa knew well.
But Maekawa knew too: although this ship didn’t seem as stable as Arasaka’s big ship, in a sense, it was the ship he intended to board from the start.
Or rather, it was the ship his predecessors wanted to board.
Bam... Bam—Bam!
After Adam Hammer steadied his posture, his powerful metal legs stomped fiercely onto the ground driven by motors, carving one dreadful crack after another, this burst of speed combined with the thrusters allowed him to quickly accelerate to catch up to the Mackinaw Mammoth’s pace...
Whoosh!
Rockets flew simultaneously, the vehicle shook amidst the explosions, Adam Hammer soared high—
In Si Anweisitan, David suddenly grabbed Maekawa, the two exchanged glances, Maekawa tightened his grip on the Samurai Sword, and once again leaped towards the cyber monster!
Under the illumination of firelight, Maekawa’s body seemed to be a small animal that could be crushed by Hammer at any moment, just as they were about to collide, his prosthetic arm suddenly ejected a series of explosives—
Hammer’s throat emitted a mocking sound, not dodging the explosives:
Unless confronting anti-armor weapons head-on, he was never worried about his defenses being breached!
Boom!
Hammer charged through the explosion, the Samurai Sword slashed hard against his metal body, his arm seized Maekawa’s body!
"Got you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Hammer suddenly realized the Mackinaw was closer than he thought...
The vehicle had braked!
During the high-speed chase, the Mackinaw Mammoth abruptly slowed, the deceleration brought the electromagnetic gun barrel along Maekawa’s right waist, almost directly onto him—
Too close!
Following the gun barrel, Hammer saw the people on the vehicle all clinging to the barrel—
This barrel wasn’t even connected to a mount, wires dangling outside, as current flowed through cables, everyone clutching the barrel was trembling slightly...
Anyone here, isolated one by one, he could squash them easily...
They might not even see how he squashed them: judging by their gaze, they were still looking at his position half a second ago—
No, they were watching Maekawa!
They were aiming at Maekawa all along, not him, Adam Hammer!
"Damn..."
But with things at this point, Hammer still held a glimmer of hope:
Si Anweisitan greatly accelerated the user’s reaction speed, people like Adam Hammer, a humanoid machine, moved exaggeratedly fast, there was actually no one in the squad who could pinpoint his exact location, they just used the temporary infrared locator David installed on Maekawa for targeting.
They didn’t know when to pull the trigger!
But David could see—
"You go die alone!"
Boom!
The electromagnetic gun directly hit Hammer’s left chest, the enormous kinetic force instantly halted this cyber monster’s advance to death, crashing him like a pile of garbage to the roadside!
At the moment the cannon fired, the high temperature and recoil also transmitted to Maekawa’s prosthetics, he lost control and plummeted toward the road—
The Man team on Mackinaw only felt the escaping current shock them into losing consciousness for an instant, but when they came to, Maekawa, burned on one side, was already rolling fast on the ground.
And Hammer, Night City’s legendary creator, Night City’s every legendary Death God, hit by the electromagnetic gun, burned in flames, crashed onto the roadside...
His survival remains unknown, but he surely can’t catch up!
Boom——
Acido felt his blood boiling, the accelerator pressed to the floor, standing up from his seat, he roared wildly at the Man team still dazed from the shock:
"Hold on tight, hold on tight! Arasaka Tower ahead!"
Arasaka Tower was right in front!
