Cyberpunk: 2075

Chapter 492 Humility

"Damn it, why does it feel like KK is more familiar with this factory than us, so he avoided it again!"

"Be careful, KK is up there, pay attention to his body, shoot over there, be careful, don't the damn bullets will bounce back and hit one of your own, be careful of stray bullets!"

Amidst the chaotic shouts of the Whirlpool gang members, they saw something falling from mid-air.

"Damn, it's a grenade again!"

In Karl's behavior of throwing grenades without any regard for the possibility that the factory structure would collapse due to explosive attacks, the Whirlpool Gang below felt what the infantry felt when they faced bombers in the past.

No matter what, it's not a good feeling when someone throws something over their head, especially if it's a grenade.

"Did this guy bring an arsenal with him?"

In the explosion of fire, Carl chased Royce in mid-air.

He heard the shouts of the Uzumaki gang members.

He brought an arsenal with him.

How is that possible.

These grenades thrown out are the last belongings that Karl carries. Except for his mobile phone, which can be thrown out when necessary, Karl has no explosives left on his body, and the reason why he throws these out at once is The reason for grenades is also very simple.

He is lazy.

Compared to his companions, especially V who is extremely patient and carries a knife to kill people one by one, Karl's patience is limited. When faced with a large number of people, he either uses intrusion methods to hack in in groups, or throws all grenades at once. Cleaning up, searching for them one by one, solving them one by one, that was too tiring and not suitable for him.

As long as you are not idle, you must stand in front of him. Before the target, Karl does not care about the escape of other personnel. The young man who would kill everyone when he first entered the industry is no longer there. Karl has now become I'm an experienced veteran and know how to be lazy.

As long as it wasn't the Scavenger gang, even if it was something like the Whirlpool Gang, Karl would just settle it.

However, Carl's smoothness may not be so easy for the members of the Whirlpool Gang.

In the explosion, more than a dozen members of the Whirlpool Gang were blown away by the air waves, and their bodies were smashed on various parts and equipment in the factory.

Royce is still running.

He had already felt the explosion behind him and the screams of his own people, but those sounds couldn't change his expression at all.

None of the people who have managed to reach their current position in the Uzumaki Gang are merciful. The death of the people under their control is nothing at all. What is more important now is to get to that thing quickly.

I originally brought it because I thought it would be used against Brick, but because the raid went well, I didn't use it, so I left it there. Now facing KK, it's a good way to deal with him!

"Core connected."

When Royce rushed to the thing he placed behind him, turned around and lay down on it to complete the connection, he found KK standing less than ten meters away from him and looking at him.

"It turns out it's just an exoskeleton. I thought it was something."

As Carl's eyes glanced at Royce, information about the exoskeleton connected to Royce kept flashing across his eyes.

‘Simon Langdell’, ‘Criminal History’, ‘Centaur’.

In an instant, Royce's real name, his criminal history, which could be considered a 'great achievement' among the Maelstrom Gang, and the model of the exoskeleton were all known to Carl.

Centaur exoskeleton?

Military technology stuff is weird.

The transformation maniacs like the Uzumaki Gang actually have this kind of thing and use it for themselves.

Carl looked at Royce, who stood up slowly in front of him after connecting the exoskeleton. He was nearly 2.3 meters tall and didn't seem to be afraid at all. He was already planning to face him. Karl's eyes became a little more serious.

Behind him, an automatic cannon that had been invaded when Carl came over slowly rose. However, it did not aim the gun at Royce, but behind Carl, facing the chasing group. The members of the Whirlpool Gang started shooting, blocking them from the outside.

"Under normal circumstances, I don't bother to argue with others."

Karl looked at Royce who raised the charging gun connected to the exoskeleton with his left hand and raised a heavy shield with his right hand, and nodded slightly: "But you seem to be very confident in your own strength, so I'll give you a try. "

"Try? You are so fucking crazy. Who do you think you are?"

Royce, who was connected to the exoskeleton, was obviously confident and emotional to some extent. He looked at Karl and said, "What the hell KK? I've wanted to try you for a long time. It's just the right time for you to come to my door today!"

There may be people in Night City who are scared away by KK's name and dare not face him face to face, but among this group of people, there is absolutely no Royce.

Basically, people who are somewhat confident in their own abilities, when they hear KK, besides subconsciously not wanting to conflict with him, they more or less want to give him a try.

I want to test how capable this mercenary who has gradually been called a new legend is, and what qualifications he has, so that he can be recognized by most people. This person who came out of Night City, he is the strongest. .

The former leader of the Animal Gang, the Savage King, wanted to give it a try, but as things changed later, this kind of thing was finally buried in his heart. But the current boss of the Whirlpool Gang, Royce, had already planned to give it a try. .

Defeat KK and step on him to become the boss of the Whirlpool Gang. Then he will become the most unquestionable boss of the Whirlpool Gang. Even the bosses of the Whirlpool Gang in the past red era can no longer compare with him. He will Be the best!

The charging gun in Royce's hand had begun to charge. Under the powerful energy blessed by the exoskeleton, he only charged for less than a second before shooting a square-shaped ball of red energy with high heat.

The obvious action of raising the gun and shooting was naturally easily dodged by Carl. Then after dodging, Carl realized that Royce's target of attack was not him.

"Boom——"

While the automatic cannon behind him and its entry port were destroyed and collapsed, Karl judged the level of the attack.

It is enough to smash ordinary vehicles directly.

This kind of weapon performance reminds Carl of a technical rifle. I don't know if the principle of this exoskeleton is similar. Judging from the charging performance, it may be possible to continue shooting.

Royce's shot was obviously intentional, and judging from his performance of destroying the automatic cannon and the entrance that the members of the Maelstrom Gang could enter, that is to say

"A one-on-one challenge?"

It won't take long for the people from the Whirlpool Gang to break through the collapsed door and come in.

It seemed that Royce was quite confident and planned to get rid of himself within a short period of time, and then witness his victory when his subordinates came over.

This is indeed something that will definitely establish his reputation as the boss. I think as long as he succeeds, he will be able to secure his position.

but

I'm just as confident.

It wasn't very long.

But enough is enough.

Karl opened his hands slightly, and a pistol slipped from his sleeves into his hands.

That gun is named Kenshin.

In addition to being the ring name (monk's name) of a famous Warring States daimyo during the Warring States Period in Japan, this name also has another symbol based on the meaning of the words.

"Humility and honesty."

But Carr prefers another interpretation.

"Humility and confidence."
