Dorio whispered Maine's name, her voice hoarse and barely audible, as it was her last ounce of strength.
Everyone knew that Maine and Dorio were a couple, but they rarely showed affection in front of others.
Not showing affection didn't mean their feelings weren't deep; they were lovers and comrades, and often such emotional bonds were stronger than those of other couples.
Dorio could only look at him in the end, unable to utter a single syllable, as if telling him to escape, then her eyes closed, and she breathed her last.
Maine's adaptability to Cyberpunk was indeed very high, far exceeding Arasaka's estimations.
However, his tolerance for Sandevistan was not good.
After several uses, the inhibitor's effect was greatly diminished, having already exceeded his neural load, coupled with his already excessive cybernetic modifications.
When Maine witnessed Dorio's death, right in front of him, and recalled the scene in Arasaka Tower where Dorio was torn apart by Adam Smasher...
At this moment, he accelerated his descent into the abyss, completely and utterly becoming a Cyberpsycho.
A Cyberpsycho doesn't know what it means to hold back or what technique is; he charged at Adam Smasher, who had just emerged, with full power.
Adam Smasher was forcibly pushed back into Arasaka Tower, stopping only when the two of them crashed into a stone wall.
Adam Smasher's eerie smile reappeared.
Why is everyone afraid of Cyberpsychos?
Because they will indiscriminately and wildly slaughter any living thing they see; their strength is not only due to their madness but also because of their excessively modified bodies.
So, people unconsciously associate Cyberpsychos with power, but this depends on relative conditions.
Think about it: what if you are much stronger than a madman and more cruel than a madman?
In that case, a madman is just an object for you to abuse.
This was Adam Smasher's mindset.
He pushed Maine away with both arms, and as he pursued him, his whole body made the sound of mechanical friction; as soon as he pressed down, the mad Maine threw a punch, hammering him to the ground.
Immediately, his large iron fists continuously pounded down, but Adam Smasher didn't care.
Decades ago, fighting on the streets, Adam Smasher, who hadn't even installed many cybernetics then, was already a combat expert.
He stood up while being pounded, delivering a large uppercut in return, knocking the mad Maine over.
No matter how insane Maine's expression was, no matter how his compound eyes shook, he was still at a disadvantage.
Adam Smasher stepped on his torso with one foot, and with his bare hands, pulled out another generator from Maine's prosthetic limb, rendering Maine's resistance to bullets and missiles nonexistent.
Adam Smasher reached behind his back and pulled out a smart shotgun, the "Baxing Chong," which had been upgraded from a Techtronica and carried high-explosive rounds.
He aimed it at Maine's head.
Maine was still roaring, his final roar, and as the sound of the Baxing Chong rang out, Maine's life completely ended.
Adam Smasher crashed through the glass and jumped out:
"I told you, none of you will escape!"
At this moment, Jingxuan had just finished analyzing Adam Smasher's body structure and was editing it into a 3D dynamic image on site.
Bullets kept ricocheting off Adam Smasher's upper body, the result of Rebecca's furious machine gun spray.
Lucy, in David's arms, regained consciousness; she wasn't clear about the current situation, her memory still lingering on Kiwi quickly cracking her firewall.
Seeing her wake up, David put her in Falco's car:
"Lucy, you're finally awake. Take care of yourself; I need to help. Maine and Dorio have already fallen in battle."
Lucy's expression was blank; she couldn't react immediately, not just her, but Falco too, feeling it wasn't quite real.
Jingxuan and her two deceased comrades also had a half-year bond of life and death; if not for Dog Bro's strong suppression of her emotions, Jingxuan might have done something foolish.
Indeed, Jingxuan's thoughts were greatly influenced by Dog Bro, especially as the number of battles accumulated, Jingxuan's mind was slowly being assimilated by Dog Bro.
They also discussed this issue regularly, and the result was obvious: even if Jingxuan's consciousness were to be completely overwritten by Dog Bro one day, there was nothing that could be done.
They couldn't just pull out the bio-chip, as that would cause Jingxuan's nerves to atrophy, and she would return to a paralyzed state.
So Jingxuan had been investigating Relic, hoping to find hope within it.
Now, she had to completely hand over her body to Dog Bro again.
Dog Bro: "How's Adam Smasher's structure diagram? Is it formed?"
Jingxuan: "30 seconds!"
Dog Bro: "Alright, give me your body first. I'm leaving the hacking to you, Jingxuan; my plan won't work without your cooperation!"
Jingxuan's red pupils turned blue, and Dog Bro went online.
Her teammates naturally didn't know it was Dog Bro:
"Jackie, David, Rebecca, I'm sending you the dynamic mini-map now; everyone get to your positions!"
Jackie and David cooperated well, immediately rushing to their designated positions.
Rebecca, however, ignored Dog Bro's command; since Dog Bro was communicating with her through an installed phone, there was no question of her not hearing.
It was just that her hatred for Adam Smasher had reached its limit, and she had fallen into madness.
Adam Smasher leaped high...
This jump was at least a dozen meters high, without any thrusters, relying solely on his abnormal cybernetics to jump to such an exaggerated height.
No one knew how heavy Adam Smasher truly was.
300kg? 500kg?
His purpose in this leap was to directly crush Rebecca, who was attacking him, into a meat patty by his own weight.
Rebecca didn't even think about dodging; she just kept her gun aimed at the leaping Adam Smasher...
A figure flew out, embracing the otherwise doomed Rebecca, then the two quickly rolled on the ground to dissipate the impact.
A shallow pit was formed where Rebecca had originally stood.
Adam Smasher had indeed transformed into a large, heavy iron hammer striking the floor.
A layer of the concrete ground was shattered, forming a slightly concave circle.
"Don't be too impulsive; we have a chance to kill this bastard. Just do as I say, and we can do it."
This was Dog Bro speaking. Rebecca felt a slight tremor in her voice, somewhat scared by where she had originally stood:
"Thanks, Little A."
Dog Bro spoke to the phone group mentally: "Everyone, Adam Smasher's 3D dynamic structure diagram has been sent to you; download it. After downloading, you'll see red diamond points attached to Adam Smasher; those are the weak points. Just shoot at them. Note: don't spray! Shoot one shot at a time! Be precise!"
Jingxuan was not in a dormant state now; she had stepped down to become a sub-consciousness.
Just like Dog Bro normally, she could communicate with Dog Bro and also take over part of the nervous system; she was now only responsible for the hacking part.
Dog Bro first said to Jingxuan:
"Without your weak point structure diagram, even if I had rushed into Arasaka Tower just now, it would have been useless. Maine and Dorio will not have died in vain; they bought us a glimmer of hope."
Then he said to everyone:
"Everyone, only consider targeting weak points, and also, maintain at least 30 meters of distance from him; he has Sandevistan. Especially you, Rebecca, be calm to kill this bastard. If you're impulsive, you'll be killed first, understand?"
