Endless Battlefield: Starting from Night City to Create a Vest

Chapter 60: The Tragic and Respectable Mother

How did David become a cyberpunk and a mercenary?

The death of Gloria Martinez was an important opportunity. Without his mother's expectations, David lost the motivation to move forward, and the appearance of Lucy gave David a chance to choose.

As the big brother of the team, although Mann is a little violent, he has established the role of a father in David's heart in a sense.

And Mann's departure.

It also allowed David to gradually mature and gradually show his own way of living, living for the dreams of others.

He stood at the top of Arasaka and became a famous mercenary in Night City, reaching that position with Mann's last wish.

But the end result was that he suffered from heart disease, and his mother's death conflicted with what he was doing now.

There is an idea that one has killed one's mother.

This became the cause of cyberpsychosis. Of course, David himself was already suffering from excessive nervous stress. In a sense, both his mind and body had reached the limit of what he could bear.

So the cause of everything is actually very simple to put an end to.

That car accident.

Wu Guang looked at the time. It was eleven o'clock at night, and the news was around eight o'clock in the evening. According to the development of the plot, it would happen on the bridge at noon tomorrow.

David's mother Gloria would be in critical condition because she could not get treatment for a long time, but the real cause of death was the cooperation between the hospital and the scavenger...

Wu Guang found this quite funny.

Gloria obtained Cyanwestin from a dead cyberpsychopath, and when she was dying, her kidneys were removed and all the valuable organs and parts of her body were taken away.

The only difference between the former and the scavenger is that the former only attacks the dead, while the latter will attack you no matter you are dead or alive.

There's really no way to compare this kind of thing, but it's so funny and helpless.

The next day at noon, Wu Guang drove to his destination.

That’s right, Wu Guang bought a car.

Although it is a cheap item, it can be used for transportation.

Lao Wei’s prosthetics store is very close to the bridge where the accident happened.

It was a twenty-minute journey and Wu Guang arrived quickly.

When he arrived, there was a gunfight ahead and flames were rising into the sky.

Not only David's and his mother's car were affected, but other vehicles as well. However, the worst hit was the two people's car, which was sandwiched in the middle and overturned, then spun 360 degrees in the air and fell to the ground.

Gloria was violently thrown out of the window, and the seat belt that was supposed to provide protection was broken.

Wu Guang stared at the scene blankly. He had seen vehicle explosions before, but this was the first time he saw someone being thrown out while wearing a seat belt.

The vehicle is in this condition and is probably only one screw away from being scrapped.

Wu Guang stopped the car silently, and many people around him stopped to watch like Wu Guang.

However, Wu Guang strode forward.

He came to the vehicle of David and his son.

Gloria was thrown out and could have landed safely if she hadn't protected Sian Westin in her arms.

Just as she approached, Gloria instinctively put Sian Westin, whom she was holding tightly in her arms, on her back.

You can't see it at first glance, but there is a prosthesis inside the clothes.

"You really are...isn't your life worth more than a prosthetic body?" Wu Guang was helpless and gently picked up the woman.

David in the car also woke up slowly. He saw a tall man holding his mother.

Instinctively he yelled out: "What are you doing? Let my mother go!"

Wu Guang looked at David, whose forehead was bleeding and whose nose was a little crooked.

"I'm a doctor, I save lives."

After hearing the explanation, David's panicked nerves eased.

"Thank you."

"I will first take care of your mother, and then I will come to help you out, or you can come out by yourself, and your mother's condition is not good."

After Wu Guang finished speaking, he walked towards his car.

The onlookers looked at Wu Guang in disbelief.

In Night City, even doctors would not rush out to save people at the first moment, not to mention that the car might explode. And the most important thing is that the Tiger Claw Gang in front is still shooting. How dare this person!

However, Wu Guang did not pay much attention to other people's eyes. After putting Gloria in the back seat, he walked towards the overturned place again.

At this moment, David's cricket pupae were emerging little by little.

It looks quite funny.

Wu Guang stepped forward, lent a hand and pulled the other person up.

"Let's go."

"Ah... okay." David was a little confused at the moment, and his whole body looked a little dazed.

This is normal, apparently the brain is dangling from a head hit.

Took the two of them back to the prosthetic clinic.

Although the prosthetic clinic is not a hospital.

But it is still possible to do treatment.

After Wu Guang handed the two over to Lao Wei and Yi, he called Mann and briefly explained the situation.

The other party said he would be there soon.

The operation was not long.

David's injuries were not serious, at most just scratches and a slight brain shake. It must be said that the seat belt played a crucial life-saving role.

The premise is that the seat belts work.

Gloria had severe internal bleeding and a lung pierced by a broken rib, so she needed at least one lung replacement.

The other organs are still intact and need to rest for a long time.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely, otherwise the lungs would have completely lost their function and the person would have choked to death in his own blood before he could lose too much blood.

It is estimated that in the original book, the patient did not receive timely treatment, resulting in lack of oxygen and suffocation. Although he was finally rescued in the hospital, his brain suffered neurological damage due to long-term lack of oxygen supply. The hospital estimated that the patient's family could not afford the money for treatment, so they simply sold him.

Wu Guang watched all this.

He knew that he had significantly modified the plot of Edgewalker, and it was unknown whether David could become a legend of Night City in the future.

Whether I can get back together with Lucy is even more uncertain, but...

This is not a bad thing for David, is it?

Wu Guang ignored him and looked towards Lao Wei. After Yi finished bandaging David, she went to help Lao Wei.

And Gloria's surgery was over.

Vital signs also returned to normal.

"Thank you...thank you so much. Don't worry, we will pay the money." David looked at his pale-faced mother, tears flowing from his eyes involuntarily.

Yes.

Which child would want his mother to die in front of him?

Wu Guang rubbed David's head.

"Be nice to your mother. She will probably be unable to work for a while, and the burden will fall on you."

David nodded repeatedly, indicating that he could definitely do it, even though he had no channels to make money now.

That's when Mann arrived.

As soon as he came in, he saw Gloria on the operating chair. Although there was a sterile transparent film between them, her miserable appearance made Mann frown.

"What happened? Who did it?"

"The Tiger Claw Gang. They were there to stop the company's vehicles. Well... should I say, they were there to take care of one person from the company, right? And she was in a more miserable situation. She was caught in the middle and the car in front lost control and was knocked over. You saw the result," Wu Guang explained.

And Mann's expression changed from anger to helplessness.

He thought that the scum of the Tiger Claw Gang knew about his relationship with Gloria and was retaliating against him, but he didn't expect it to be an accident.

this..

"It was also a case of luck. I was driving to deliver goods and ran into the other party, so I just saved him." Wu Guang found an excuse for himself.

Three hours later.

Gloria woke up and David, who was sitting beside her, felt the movement of his mother's body and instantly became alert.

"mom.."

"David? We are..."

"At the prosthetics clinic," said Mann.

When Gloria saw the big guy, her heart relaxed. It was then that she noticed the clothes she was wearing.

"David, where's my coat?"

"Coat?" David was holding his mother's hand and was stunned by this question. He didn't even pay attention to the coat.

However, Mann took out his coat, handed it to Gloria, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured. The goods have been brought here. This is... extra."

Data flashed in Mann's eyes.

Gloria saw that her balance increased by more than three thousand.

"this.."

"Take it. You've also helped me get a lot of good prosthetics. I'll consider this as a loan to you. You can return it when you have money in the future. But... I guess it will be a little difficult for you to get it." Mann looked at David meaningfully.

During these three hours, he naturally also learned about David and Gloria's relationship and living conditions.

Also learned why Gloria was always short of money.

She is a good mother who has risked everything for her children.

Sad but respectable.
