Lille and his group had just arrived when they encountered this eerie scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navi got out of the car, closed the door, and shuddered involuntarily at the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sound... it doesn’t sound like Cedric.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille looked around without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really didn’t sound like Cedric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, combat prosthetics on cyber psychos performing at theoretical levels was the norm, and exceeding those levels was even more common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Cedric was a top warrior of the Red Ochre Tribe, then in his cyber psychosis, taking down a few biotechnology soldiers would be a walk in the park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing was one of the few \"reliable\" products in the affordable firepower range, an absolute leader among kinetic shotguns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the designers, in pursuit of powerful firepower and large guns, had sacrificed user comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the gun something only those with little money but a desire for quality would dare to buy—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, with careful prosthetics installation and some adjustments to the gun, it remained a lethal weapon that could penetrate most subdermal armor on the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the gunshot was deafening. The four simultaneously looked in the direction of the shot and hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Andri now, you damn love to watch, then watch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was horrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though there were only two dead bodies on the ground, Cedric’s frenzied voice made the murder site look like something out of a horror movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navi swallowed hard, his hand trembling as he gripped the Ajax rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Cedric’s voice, but it sounded more like an evil ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three exchanged a glance, and Jack took Sadara off his back, held it in his hand, and walked in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the scene clearly, the trio uttered the same words: \"Holy shit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cedric was pressing a biotechnology soldier’s head against a corpse, pushing it with such force that it was jammed into Andri’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murphy’s head was squeezed by the bones, smothered by the pulped flesh, with blood foam even seeping into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... guh—let go of... me... ah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urgh—\" Navi vomited on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andri and Cedric were both his family, and this scene shook his nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation also caught Cedric’s attention. He stopped, looking in the direction of the four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Navi? What are you doing here—damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cedric suddenly flew into a rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his visual system, the positions of the three turned into cybered wanderers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The site no longer appeared as a ruined factory but a biotechnology apartment engulfed in flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the tattoos on the wanderers—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bowen!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cedric suddenly raged, hurling Murphy aside, his enhanced tendons erupting with force, his ankle yanking into an exaggerated curve, the front muscles of his foot even tearing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille could only see Cedric disappear in an instant, as if he’d turned on Si Anweisitan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But almost simultaneously, V appeared before the trio, launching the Mantis Blade, pinning both of Cedric’s shoulders directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous impact drove the Mantis Blade through Cedric’s shoulders, still advancing. Jack reacted quickly, immediately aiming his gun at Cedric’s left mechanical limb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire mechanical arm shattered under Sadara’s bullet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Cedric’s fluorescent blood gushing out, Lille suddenly halted V, who was about to retract the Mantis Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t retract the Mantis Blade! There’s something wrong with his blood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking, Lille started attempting to breach Cedric’s system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cedric was blown away by Sadara’s dreadful kinetic energy but bounced back up immediately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jack didn’t hesitate, punching Cedric in the chest, knocking him back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cedric’s chest caved in, drastically reducing the oxygen entering his lungs, weakening the prosthetic strength rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack pinned Cedric’s remaining hand and head, pressing his legs against Cedric’s feet, pinning him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But horrifying things happened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frenzied Cedric writhed, his muscles pulling his bones uncontrollably, twisting madly on the ground, his flesh and bones wriggling in an exaggerated and incredible manner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Lille fully breached his system, in about just three seconds, Cedric’s ribs were already completely broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prosthetic eyes, tendons, mechanical prosthetics, and other auxiliary prosthetics temporarily locked, the human-machine link loosened, and Cedric’s movements slowed significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille put on prosthetic doctor gloves, directly cutting open his wounds, connecting to his system, physically shutting down the combat implant circuits, and removing the external prosthetics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stabilizing Cedric, Lille pulled out a pneumatic injector filled with sedative from his bag, inserting it into Cedric’s neck—yet Cedric still didn’t calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille frowned, took out another neural inhibitor, and administered it, finally calming Cedric gradually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as he fell asleep, he kept murmuring that name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V leaned over to Lille, looking disgustedly at the blood on the Mantis Blade: \"What do you mean the blood is toxic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not sure of the specifics, but I think it’s worth being cautious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lille spoke, he pulled a roll of disinfectant bandage from his clothing pocket, carefully wiped the fluorescent blood off the Mantis Blade, and sprayed some disinfectant on V’s Mantis Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V raised the Mantis Blade to examine it in the sunlight, satisfied, putting the Mantis Blade away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...quite interesting, I bet many people would be interested in this stuff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille looked at the bloodstain on the bandage with interest, then stored it in a plastic bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all this, the trio’s emotions were a bit mixed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cedric was skilled, but in terms of combat strength, he was no match for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that madness created immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a faint voice came from the other side: \"Help... help me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three looked over, the voice came from Cedric’s car, a scorched-faced person was crawling next to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scorched face, with a hint of light—seemed to be a metallic reflection of a reinforced skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood on the corpse appeared to have some special property, corroding his face, mingling with the other blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V was stunned, touching her hand nervously: \"Damn... good thing there’s someone who knows this stuff, what’s with this guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t know, let’s ask.\" Lille approached Murphy, \"You’re with biotechnology? What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! I am... My name is Brandon Murphy... Damn company... save me, please...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murphy tried to grab Lille’s foot, but Lille stepped back immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on, you answer my questions first—\" Lille said, pulling out two vials of medication and a 50ml bottle of liquid from his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a painkiller, this is a hemostatic agent, and this is a biological disinfectant. Answer a question, get a shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murphy gritted his teeth, his head falling to the ground: \"Alright! Damn it... hurry up! Please, ask!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a biological disinfectant, consider it a reward for your cooperation.\" Lille poured the disinfectant on Murphy’s face, washing off a layer of charred blood and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murphy didn’t mind, struggling, rubbing against the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s biotechnology told you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They told me to come here to collect the experimental subject’s body, damn it! Who knew it was a cyber psycho! I know what you’re going to ask, my superior is Diana Kuno!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very cooperative, here’s the painkiller.\" Lille gave him a shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain relief calmed Murphy down significantly, he struggled to turn over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After turning over, he gritted his teeth and continued: \"Don’t ask meaningless questions, I’m willing to testify, damn the company, they’re all bastards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille showed a surprised expression: \"You’re just going to betray the company like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut the crap, they screwed me first! Diana Kuno lied that it was routine work, but seeing people turned out like this, I’m not taking the fall for it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Decisive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murphy took a deep breath: \"Listen, I really understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The company wouldn’t solve my problems, instead, they’d say it’s because I didn’t follow the work procedure, didn’t prevent biological contamination, yada yada...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t even claim work injury insurance! I don’t know who you’re working for, but whoever it is, I’m useful. Helping me is helping you make money, truly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t have a money-making channel, I know one, there’s a journalist named Manuel Mendoza who always wanted me to give him some big news, I ignored him, but it’s different now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See, we have no grudge—really, I have no grudge with this wanderer’s crazy bastard, I was just doing routine work, I don’t know what biotechnology did!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, we’re on the same side!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille stroked his chin, looking at Murphy with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V showed a similar expression: \"Damn, this company dog really can talk, speaks quite convincingly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murphy’s stiff face seemed to smile: \"Girl, I used to be a mercenary like you, hoping to retire as a security guard for biotechnology, but these assholes risked my life, you think I can take that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never thought I’d be back to this line of work... damn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V was amused by Murphy, no doubt this idiot really seemed like one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the decision was still up to Lille—in all this time, V had become aware of her intellectual limitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille finally looked at the bodies in the car, then at the unconscious Cedric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like you’ll be embracing the mercenary life again, I guess that’s Murphy’s Law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1521,"2026-06-03T12:33:12.909Z","2026-06-03T12:33:19.802Z",1,"novelbin.me","56843e1e0ce3df373ea7f29af2ebdf91d2610dd0990c3f7e0e7b6f0c38516a15","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-94","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-92",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
