Chapter 21 - Chapter 21 : Dog Brother

Rebecca felt that Little A's tone was incredibly steady now; she seemed very confident, giving her a sense of security.

She decided to trust Little A, control her emotions, and cooperate well with everyone.

Lucy heard everything in the phone group, and of course, she wanted to help.

She tried her hacking skills, hoping to cause some damage to Adam Smasher.

The result was that Adam Smasher discovered her, and Lucy's own neck felt an electric shock, causing severe pain.

Dog Brother: "Lucy, what are you doing? He definitely has the highest level of ICE; you can't attack him through the network!"

Dog Brother knew that if he waited another second or two, Adam Smasher's device would definitely be able to pinpoint Lucy's location and pull the trigger early. The Ice Storm Heavy Sniper Rifle vibrated, and the recoil of the stock shook his entire body.

A sniper round hit the outside of Adam Smasher's knee. Of course, this was a weak point analyzed by Jingxuan.

A small piece of steel plate fell off his left knee, and his cyberware gave him a warning.

Adam Smasher was quite surprised. Wasn't it just an ordinary bullet?

How could it cause a system warning?

Dog Brother racked the gun, reloaded, aimed again, exhaled, and held his breath...

He was incredibly familiar with this set of operations, thanks to his main body, or rather, his previous life.

Because Adam Smasher's individual strength was too powerful, almost no one had the chance to force him into a cautious tactical mode.

So, he uncharacteristically put away his arrogant fighting style and became cautious.

A living legend could not rely entirely on equipment advantages; he must also be cunning and experienced.

The system's feedback to him was that his left knee could not be hit again, otherwise his high mobility would be greatly reduced.

Sensing that the opponent would definitely attack the same spot again, he activated Sandevistan early.

The world in his eyes turned light blue, and his optical implants scanned rapidly...

It's her!

A little girl?

Shoot her first!

As expected, the opponent's gun fired another sniper round. Adam Smasher moved two body lengths sideways and then charged directly towards the woman.

Of course, he chose a straight line; the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

Seeing the opponent react, the woman squatted down to the lower right, taking a dodging posture.

Adam Smasher couldn't help but laugh to himself. Her marksmanship was indeed excellent, actually forcing him to use Sandevistan for defensive counterattack.

But this little bitch was about to die by his hand. Why not just crush her head?

The mechanical face in bullet time once again revealed a strange smile, a smile of victory in hand.

What he didn't expect was that just a few meters short of the woman, an impact wave from below blasted him away!

One of his cybernetic calves was blown off!

He exited bullet time. This...

Is this a proximity mine???

Then why wasn't it scanned?

From Dog Brother's perspective, Adam Smasher dodged his second precise shot as if teleporting, and charged towards him.

He had activated Sandevistan, so his speed was naturally super fast, but when his teammates were fighting him in Arasaka Tower before, he wasn't just waiting around.

Jingxuan, according to his instructions, had laid out countless pre-modified proximity mines.

They had a special coating added, making them very difficult to scan.

Dog Brother originally wanted to mock Adam Smasher a few times, but it was really inappropriate. He turned and ran.

Adam Smasher was practically about to explode!

He hadn't suffered such humiliation since 2023!

His mobility instantly decreased, and he wanted to activate Sandevistan again.

However, even if he used top-tier gear, there was still a cooldown time limit; he couldn't just turn it off and then immediately turn it back on.

David, Jackie, Falco, and Rebecca, at the "supply point" location Jingxuan had prepared for them, switched to precision rifles and patiently fired shot after shot at Adam Smasher.

And without exception, all their shots were aimed at the connection points between the cyberware on his body, the weakest defensive spots!

This was truly unbelievable!

This forced Adam Smasher to temporarily abandon chasing Dog Brother. He flipped and leaped, hiding inside a shop.

Taking advantage of this gap, Dog Brother ran 50 meters away and mocked loudly.

At this moment, mocking was not just for verbal satisfaction, but had tactical significance:

"Oh my oh my! The awesome Adam Smasher! The living legend of Night City! Turns out you're just a coward!"

Adam Smasher hadn't been this angry in a long time. He poked his head out, and five guns fired at him again.

He saw the warnings from his system: multiple joints on his body were damaged. He didn't dare to confront them head-on again, so he pulled his head back into cover and cursed loudly.

Dog Brother had severely affected his mindset.

Dog Brother shouted loudly: "Hey, hey, hey! What's wrong? Coward? Is all that cyberware just for being a turtle hiding in its shell! Isn't your Sandevistan awesome! Show me another one!"

Despite the cursing, Dog Brother was also speaking in the phone group:

"You guys take advantage of this moment, while he's just taken a hit and doesn't know our full capabilities, to escape first. Get in the car quickly!"

Rebecca: "Then what about you, Little A?"

Dog Brother: "I'll stay and hold him off!"

Jackie: "How can that be?"

Dog Brother: "Don't worry, I've prepared a way to escape alone. Trust me."

Falco: "Alright, David, stop shooting and come with me!"

Rebecca: "Little A, really, you're truly amazing!"

Adam Smasher hesitated. He didn't know how many more unscannable proximity mines that damned woman had laid out.

And there were only five of them in total. For some reason, their firing frequency was so dense, as if they didn't need to reload...

Within the ten-plus seconds of his hesitation, Rebecca, Jackie, David, and Falco all got into the cars. Lucy was already in the car.

The two cars sped away, the accelerator pedals almost broken!

Jackie drove Rebecca's car alone, while everyone else was with Lucy in Falco's car.

Lucy: "I really didn't expect Little A's methods..."

David grinned: "These methods are amazing, right? Sister A is my most admired person after all."

Rebecca scoffed: "Is that really okay? Shouldn't your most admired person be your Master Jackie?"

....

Jingxuan: "How is it, Dog Brother? What exactly is your so-called method for escaping alone? We don't have that many processed proximity mines. If he uses Sandevistan a few times, we're definitely dead! And it's been so long, the NCPD should be here by now."

Dog Brother, wearing Jingxuan's beautiful face, looked at the holographic Jingxuan and showed his signature sly old man's smile:

"Jingxuan, haha, sorry, I'm going to leave a scar on your beautiful leg."

He had never intended to discuss it with Jingxuan. He drew the Omaha pistol from his waist and, without a word, pressed the muzzle against the outside of his thigh and fired!

Their nervous systems were shared; if one felt pain, both would!

Jingxuan: "What the hell are you doing?!"

Dog Brother: "It's fine, the wound is shallow. It was a carefully designed shot. We can still fight."

Jingxuan: "No! What exactly do you want to do?"

Dog Brother said indifferently:

"Call Trauma Team in the most effective way..."
