Players Invade Cyberpunk-Chapter 829 - 268: The Art of Life

The poor business car, bearing an unbearable weight, with the combined weight of four people nearly a ton.

In the cramped cabin, the four were still fiercely fighting, seemingly on the verge of tearing the entire car apart in an instant.

The female secretary swung her fist blade with her left hand at Lin Miao's head, Lin Miao shrank down on the seat to narrowly avoid it, but the car door behind him wasn't as lucky.

The car door, made of thickened bulletproof composite material, was sliced in half by the secretary's fist blade like cutting tofu, the cut smooth as a mirror, half of the door fell outside the car, rolling on the highway, fierce wind poured inside the car, blowing everyone's hair into disarray.

Having missed an attack, the secretary went for Lin Miao again, half-lying on the seat, Lin Miao wasn't about to test whether his head or the bulletproof car door was tougher. He bent his legs, accumulated force, and kicked fiercely upwards at the secretary's chest.

Bang!

The car roof seemed hit by a sledgehammer, the entire thing bulging and deforming.

Lin Miao immediately straightened quickly, grabbing the descending head of the opponent with one hand, smashed it towards the opposite window, then pressed down hard, sliding the neck toward the shattered sharp glass.

The reinforced metal glass shattered to pieces upon the secretary's head impact, a normal person's skull would deform and pass out from such a crash, but it didn't even cause a momentary daze for the secretary.

She immediately retaliated with an elbow strike backward into Lin Miao's chest, hammering him backward.

Nearly snapping Lin Miao's titanium alloy rib, such an elbow strike would cause cardiac arrest and ribs to stab inward for a regular person.

With 14 points of physique and 12 points of reflexes granting Lin Miao strength and reaction speed beyond a normal person, he still struggled against the Cuban assassin.

The opponent was well-prepared, physically disconnecting their augmentations from Lin Miao's access to the Black Wall, rendering it ineffective.

Traditional fighting skills aren't much use against such a modified body, as Lin Miao's previous attempt at strangling was ineffective, the opponent was a pure killing machine.

Lin Miao was somewhat relieved; had he not sent back an inside agent, he wouldn't know Cuba sent two killers of such caliber against him, nor decided to use himself as bait to lure them out, else the danger from the shadows would be greater.

The rear was fiercely fought, and the front two were engaged similarly, the combat between augmented individuals proving more dangerous, seats dismembered by Mantis Blades, the windshield fragmented and flown out.

However, V's level of augmentation clearly exceeded the Cuban assassin, many direct encounters left the driver's Mantis Blade with multiple gaps and fractures, the final blade collision breaking it entirely. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

V didn't come off unscathed, arms were slashed with knife scars, synthetic skin tattered, showing the severely damaged metal modifications beneath.

She simply withdrew the malfunctioning Mantis Blade, grabbing onto the roof handle with both hands, performing an aerial pull-up and side kick.

Her strength surpassing Lin Miao, kicking the driver along with the door out.

But just as Lin Miao thought V had dealt with one assassin, a grating sound of metal tearing emerged from the trunk, the driver had clung to the rear trunk, slowly crawling back.

With his position changed, he was now able to attack Lin Miao alongside the secretary.

His hands gripped the dilapidated roof, pulling forcibly to transform the business car into a convertible racer.

Lin Miao glared at V

"Is this your bodyguard duty?"

"Damn! Where did these people come from?"

V cursed, never dealing with mercenaries this troublesome from Night City before!

"Car won't stop, the autopilot system's locked! Damn it, the data interface was breached in advance!"

Unable to fix the car, V could only turn to help Lin Miao

"Deal with that woman yourself!"

After speaking, she stood up from the driver's seat, stepped on the chair, and pounced forward, grabbing the driver standing in the rear cabin for a roll, falling out of the car.

Jumping off a car at over a hundred kilometers per hour required much more than courage.

Now only Lin Miao and the secretary were left tangled together in the car.

Their positions were somewhat strange, the secretary facing away from Lin Miao, her left hand twisted behind in a reverse hold by Lin, her right hand pinned by Lin Miao's right foot onto the seat's steel frame, unable to break free, her waist pressed by Lin Miao to prevent exertion.

Lin Miao wanted to dislocate her arm, but the carbon fiber nanomaterial paired with nickel-titanium alloy skeleton was difficult to suppress, let alone snap.

Just as he prepared to give the secretary's head a solid punch, her neck eerily rotated 180 degrees to stare straight at Lin Miao, mouth slightly open, releasing a dark beam.

"Shit!"

Lin Miao narrowly dodged, the dark beam grazing his cheek and exploding into a fireball in the sky.

If not for the driver tearing off the roof, this high-explosive would have detonated inside the car.

But just that momentary distraction allowed the secretary's right hand wrist, pinned under Lin Miao's foot, to exert force, slicing down with the Mantis Blade, severing the business car's chassis and frame, splitting front and rear, the rear half detaching and rolling away, leaving a collapsing fragmenting front half sparking on the highway.

Lin Miao suddenly losing balance, tipping forward, about to tumble from the car, his left foot caught the remaining passenger seatbelt, his right foot braced the chassis, remarkable core strength controlling the falling momentum, his face merely inches from the road surface.
