The car door closed and the performance of De Rosso was instantly released.
Rocky pressed the jet device button, and the modified jet at the tail instantly sprayed out a fierce flame to help the car get started.
In an instant the vehicle was propelled to maximum speed.
Rocky controlled Droso to drive out of the Blue Sky Building, and the Arasaka drones surrounding the building also discovered them.
"An unknown hovercraft has been spotted! Suspected target, suspected target!"
The two drones sounded the alarm and chased after Rocky and the others.
Rocky looked at the drone chasing him from behind and ignored it. He just stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward, while slowly lowering the altitude.
At high altitude, Deroso's speed advantage couldn't be fully utilized. If he wanted to shake off Arasaka's drone, switching to land mode or flying at low altitude would be a better option.
But even so, the distance between the drone and them continued to shrink.
"Confirm the current vehicle is the target, intercept immediately, and open fire!"
At this time, the drone also received information from the main network of the Ganbi Building to confirm that this was the fleeing target, and the weapons on board began to operate.
The machine gun barrel began to spray bullets, pouring down on De Rosso.
The defensive reinforcements installed by Rocky worked at this time. The bullets hit the car, sending out sparks, but they could not penetrate the armor and bulletproof glass of the car body.
"Fuck, this car is awesome!" Jack sat up and turned to look at the drone that was madly firing behind him.
He had originally prepared to crouch down to avoid the bullets, but the bullets couldn't penetrate him at all.
At this time, Rocky has lowered his altitude to the point of flying close to the ground, and in this state his turning flexibility is at its highest.
Rocky glanced at the drones that were chasing him closely. Although they couldn't penetrate the vehicle's defenses, it was not a good idea for them to keep annoying him like mosquitoes, as it would also attract other support from Arasaka.
If you want to completely escape Arasaka's pursuit, you must get rid of them first.
Glancing at the data on the dashboard, the injection device had just been fully charged.
After activating the jet device, Rocky instantly created some distance between himself and the two drones.
Then Rocky turned the steering wheel sharply, and De Rosso's flexibility in low-altitude flight allowed the front of the car to turn 180 degrees in an instant, while sliding forward at the same speed.
It switches from straight driving to reverse mode in an instant.
With the front of the vehicle facing the two drones, Rocky activated the weapon module on the De Rosso. The missile launch bay on the front of the vehicle was opened, and the missiles on board immediately became ready to fire.
Scan, lock, launch, all in one go.
The enhanced weapon system not only doubles its power, but also supports locking onto multiple targets simultaneously.
The two missile launch bays fired missiles at the same time, flying rapidly towards the locked drone.
"BOOM!"
With two flashes of fire, the pursuing Arasaka drone was blown up in an instant.
After taking care of the target, Rocky turned the steering wheel again and straightened the front of the car. There was almost no loss of speed in the whole process.
"Is this awesome enough, Jack?"
Rocky glanced at Jack in the back seat. The violent swing just now almost threw Jack, who was sitting in the back seat without a seat belt, into the car door.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and stabilized his body in time.
"That's awesome, but next time you drift, could you please tell me first?" Jack was still holding on to the handrail above his head tightly, fearing that Rocky would do it to him again.
With his size and weight, he would be in real trouble if he fell.
"Haha, it's rare to see you like this." Rocky laughed happily.
Having escaped the drones' pursuit, Arasaka had completely lost their position. Catching up to them was now a pipe dream.
After switching the car to land mode, Rocky was finally able to relax and finally check on Lucy's condition.
Lucy was lying quietly in the passenger seat at this time. The violent shaking from the drift just now did not make her wake up. It seemed that it would take some time for her to recover.
"Is Lucy okay?" Jack asked with concern, leaning his head out from the back seat.
"Nothing serious. Biometric monitoring shows everything is normal and her breathing is stable. I think the high-intensity data flow intrusion caused an overload and she passed out. Just rest for a while. I'll take her to the clinic for another checkup later."
Rocky inserted a monitoring chip for field emergency into Lucy's interface. The displayed readings were normal. As for the detailed situation, they would have to wait until they arrived at the clinic to see it.
"I'm glad you're okay. By the way, you heard about Lucy in the Blue Sky Mansion just now, right? That hacker said she was Arasaka's property? I didn't expect she had such a past."
"It's hard to imagine, but in Night City, who cares about your past? Just like you don't know my past, we can still be brothers."
"That's true."
Arasaka Beach was not too far from Japantown, and Rocky soon brought Jack back to the clinic.
"Jack, I have to check on Lucy first. You can take my car and go back first. By the way, remember not to tell anyone about Lucy."
After getting out of the car, Rocky walked around to the passenger seat, carried Lucy out of the car, and gave instructions to Jack.
"Don't worry, I'm a tight-lipped person. But by the way, how are you and Lucy doing? It seems like it's rare for you to meet your sweetheart."
Jack also got out of the car and took the carriage that Rocky produced from his left hand.
"I haven't even started yet, I'll try harder."
"Well, do your best. I'm going back first. My mom kept nagging me for a long time last night. She was worried that something might happen to me. I have to go back quickly to let her know I'm safe."
After saying goodbye to Jack, Rocky carried Lucy to the clinic, put her on the operating chair, connected her to the equipment for a comprehensive examination.
...
"Lucy! Run, get out!"
"Lucy, welcome to Team Mann."
"Lucy, you can do this."
"Stop struggling. The security forces will find you soon."
Lucy seemed to have had a very long dream. She dreamed that her friends died in front of her one by one, that she escaped to Night City, and that Rocky encouraged her.
I dreamed that I was discovered by Arasaka hackers and once again imprisoned in a dark base. I was pressed on a hacker chair and continued to mine data endlessly.
Lucy slowly regained consciousness in a daze, frowning slightly as she felt the touch on her body, as if she was sitting in the hacker chair again.
Am I being arrested?
"don't want!"
Lucy screamed and woke up suddenly. When she opened her eyes, her eyes were full of fear. She was afraid that the scene before her was the Arasaka base that she would never forget.
"Don't be afraid, Lucy. Relax. It's me, L. This is my clinic, not Arasaka territory. There are no Arasaka people here. You are safe now. Relax, everything is fine."
