Players Invade Cyberpunk-Chapter 790 - 254: Seriously, V, I Think You Have Talent_2

The electromagnetic projectile barely grazed his hair and shot into the building, while a dozen rounds of bullets from a nearby submachine gun all missed Lin Miao as he bent backward at almost a ninety-degree angle from his knees.

Meanwhile, a few unlucky DMS employees behind him were caught in the crossfire.

"Sianweistan?"

With the failed shot, the sniper was frustrated but could only attribute it to the other party coincidentally activating his cybernetic avoidance systems in advance.

Moreover, his bionic eyes couldn't see through this guy. There might well be combat-enhanced cybernetics under that skin.

Lin Miao's counterattack followed immediately, producing a Huangban Pistol in his hand, unleashing a ferocity akin to a submachine gun.

Bang!

The bullet pierced the chest of the nearest assassin but only made him stagger. Besides wearing body armor, this guy had at least several types of defensive cybernetics.

"Tsk... that's quite a costly investment."

Unable to break through the defenses, Lin Miao simply discarded the gun, and as if performing a magic trick, pulled out a strangely styled pistol from behind his coat.

Its large and regular form made it look like a rectangular brick, with a hollowed-out grip in the back part.

With a loud bang, the chest of the assassin who could previously take a 9MM bullet revealed a bowl-sized hole. Titanium alloy skeleton, built-in diaphragm panel, shock-damping device, heavy subcutaneous armor, bulletproof vest—five layers of defense were pierced with one shot.

White blood gushed like a waterfall from the chest.

In less than two seconds, other assassins had already charged up after the first wave of attack failed.

No unnecessary words, not even a self-introduction.

Their only goal was Lin Miao's life.

The cybernetics on their target were unknown, but his coat alone demonstrated impressive bulletproof capabilities, not to mention the titanium alloy skeleton and reaction speed. Assassins without electromagnetic weapons simply abandoned their guns and instead opted for close combat using Sianweistan to accelerate.

They had bet correctly; Lin Miao's close combat skills were truly lacking. Moreover, he had no skill points for upgrades and no opportunities for practical drills.

No matter how strong his body, he was still a carbon-based organism, and even with a titanium alloy skeleton, he couldn't withstand the high-frequency vibroblades in their hands.

Bystanders were scared off, fleeing in panic, but two individuals broke through the crowd. A big guy in front wielded a slaughter shotgun to clear the path, while a small woman beside him provided suppressive fire against the assassins.

Jack's marksmanship was decent. Although the assassins had strong defenses, and the scattered shotgun pellets couldn't penetrate their armor, the impact from Night City's largest caliber shotgun was no joke, blasting people away on the spot.

"Boss Lin, we're here to help!"

"Jack?"

Seeing the unexpected reinforcements emerge, Lin Miao silently put away the sonic grenade he had just taken out.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Miao felt he wasn't familiar with Jack; they'd hardly met, let alone talked. V beside him also couldn't be said to have a good relationship with him, given that they'd once had conflicts in Big Sur.

He even maliciously considered whether Jack and V were assassins trying to get close and then assassinate him.

But probably not; Jack got along well with the players, and he didn't have a cunning brain.

"Just passing by, heard gunshots, so we came to lend a hand."

Jack rushed to Lin Miao's side, back to back with him, continuously attacking the assassins closing in. After the first shot, none of them let Jack hit them again.

This made Jack very annoyed

"Boss Lin, it seems your life is worth a lot of money!"

"Jack, get him out of here!"

No need for further prompting, Lin Miao grabbed Jack and rushed through the gap he had just created in the encirclement, dodging the next sniper bullet and machine gun fire.

V knew that these individuals were top-tier assassins with ties to Huang Ban, and someone was seriously trying to take Lin Miao's life.

She really shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess...

Her mantis blades sprang from her arms, and even knowing that her opponents were formidable, she charged in without hesitation.

Not to protect Lin Miao, but simply to see how strong she truly was now.

Old Wei had warned V more than once not to keep risking her life by overloading herself with implants, but V never listened.

Albertson was dead, while she was alive, having lost so much Huangban property. V wasn't naive enough to think Mizuki wouldn't hold her accountable as an accomplice. For these Cthulhu-like figures, once they set their minds on finding you, whether you disguise yourself or immigrate, there's no escape.

The fact that they hadn't come for her yet was entirely due to someone else being in the forefront.

This sense of urgency drove V to continually upgrade herself with more powerful cybernetics, and for some unknown reason, Night City's black clinics always had implants unavailable on the market to offer her.

V cared, yet didn't care that much.

Being a Mercenary, it's adapting to local customs, and she had never felt her limits anyway.

In the eyes of those assassins, she practically turned into a streak of light

So fast!

The assassin targeted by V as her primary target activated his Sianweistan to retreat, but V's speed was still astonishing. In the blink of an eye, she closed in on him.

His pupils contracted sharply, shocked by the efficiency of V's Sianweistan, while his right hand spread its fingers aiming at V, shooting a blinding red beam from his palm. The speed was so fast that V couldn't completely dodge, and the 3,000-degree laser scorched past her cheek.
