Didn't they take into account the fact that the driver is very short? From the outside, you can't see the driver at first glance; you can only see the head of a ponytail.
The group sped along, heading towards the outskirts of the city.
Then, they encountered a group of people whose faces were implanted with prosthetics, making them look ferocious.
At this moment, they were armed and wanted to violently stop Silver Wolf's car.
"It's so hard to guess what someone wants to do by stopping a car late at night!"
Silver Wolf glanced at the group of people ahead, curled his lip, and instead of slowing down, he pressed the accelerator firmly and charged straight ahead.
She couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on these so-called gang members.
"what?"
Seeing that Silver Wolf not only did not slow down, but instead began to floor the accelerator, the gang members were also enraged and immediately tried to block him with their bodies.
The next moment... Bang!
With a muffled thud, the jeep driven by Silver Wolf jolted, then returned to normal.
"what happened?"
Mike and Yuan's relaxed nerves tensed up again, and they didn't notice that someone was blocking their way.
"I do not know."
Silver Wolf didn't care and said dismissively.
But the next moment, a bloody hand suddenly appeared on the roof of the jeep and was pressed against the window.
"Hey, did you hit someone? Are you sure you're okay?"
Looking at his gang members, who were barely breathing, McCree couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Strange, this little girl is really strange!
“Blind spot, didn’t notice it. I thought it was a speed bump. It’s okay, I have insurance. Let him talk to my insurance company. These days, everyone has a hard time. I’m also trying my best to live.”
As Silver Wolf spoke, he stepped on the gas again, throwing the person on the roof of the car off.
"Forget it, just be happy."
Seeing this, Mike didn't say anything. Anyway, the person just now didn't look like a good person, otherwise he wouldn't have transformed himself into a grotesque, inhuman creature.
Silver Wolf was very fast, and before long, the group left Night City.
Silver Wolf parked the car on the side of the road, jumped out of the driver's seat, and then stretched out a big yawn.
"So, did I trick you guys?"
Silver Wolf raised an eyebrow and looked at the two of them.
"Thank you so much for your help, young lady. I will remember this kindness."
After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, Genji clasped his hands in a fist salute to Silver Wolf.
Every move it makes doesn't feel like it's in a cyberpunk world; instead, it has a retro feel to it.
"Alright, I didn't save you for any reward. I'm just interested in your affairs. So, are you interested in telling me why you would take such a big risk to offend Arasaka? Besides... if an ordinary person did that, they would have died countless times already."
Silver Wolf sat on the hood of the jeep, his little feet dangling in the air.
I looked at the two of them with a curious expression.
The companies in this world are incredibly powerful. These two are quite capable to have managed to cause trouble for the company and still survive.
"Yeah, most people would be dead long ago if they offended the company. So why did you still dare to save us?"
Mike countered with a question.
"I'm not an ordinary person, the company isn't something that would scare me."
Silver Wolf rolled her eyes, pursed her lips, and said that she could enter the headquarters of Interstellar Peace Company as easily as she entered her own toilet, let alone this mere company that only controlled one planet, or even less than one planet.
If an ordinary person said that, Mike would definitely laugh at them for being so arrogant and daring to mess with the company.
But for some reason, these words sounded very convincing coming from Silver Wolf.
"It's not exactly a secret. The company ruined my family, so I hate the company and want to destroy it. It's that simple."
Mike said calmly, "My hometown, my wife and daughter, were all ruined by the company. Thirty years ago, I was just an ordinary farmer with a few machines, some cows, some land, a local wife, and a beautiful daughter. To be honest, I was quite a scoundrel when I was young, always drinking outside and often causing trouble when I got home..."
Mike spoke, but a helpless expression appeared on his face.
“I don’t know how my wife put up with me back then. Maybe it was because of the children? Anyway, I lived like this for almost ten years until the company people came. They were arrogant and domineering. They took a fancy to my farm and the surrounding area and wanted to turn it into a tourist attraction. Of course, I disagreed. This farm has been passed down for more than two hundred years. I can’t let the farm die out with me, so I refused. The company negotiated the acquisition many times but failed. That’s how the matter ended.”
"As I understand it, these monopolistic companies are not so easy to talk to."
Silver Wolf said from the side.
"Yes, of course it wasn't that easy to talk to. A month later, during the autumn harvest season, my farm was piled high with crops, and then... at that moment, my farm caught fire. Since there were many sources of fire in the yard, the fire quickly engulfed everything."
As he spoke, Mike's face showed pain: "I still remember the scene where Harley put the baby in my arms and then desperately pushed me out of the fire... But the fire was too big, I couldn't save Harley, let alone our daughter. When I woke up, my body was already like this."
As Mike spoke, he adjusted the brim of his hat with his robotic arm.
"Because my injuries were too severe, all the doctor could do was replace most of my body with prosthetics and save my life. But that's not so bad. With this body, I can finally take down those corporate bastards."
McCree chuckled as he spoke.
However, Silver Wolf could guess how much suffering the other party had endured.
In this world, prosthetic bodies aren't something you can just install casually. They require a certain amount of talent and control. Back when Mike was a rancher, his physical condition wasn't as good as it is now, so he had to put in twice the effort to accommodate the prosthetic body.
Perhaps knowing that Silver Wolf was one of their own, Yuan also opened up and told his story.
It was roughly about his hometown collaborating with a company, but the company went back on its word, causing a major disagreement between him and his older brother, which even escalated into a physical fight. He was covered in silver armor because of this incident, and the two brothers fought to the death. As the younger brother, he was slightly inferior and naturally lost the fight, then left home in disgrace.
However, when he accepted his identity and wanted to go home again, he heard the news of his brother's death, and all of this was the company's doing.
"This company is really awful; you rarely hear about things like this anymore..."
Silver Wolf gently shook his head and spoke slowly.
"In that case, would you like to join me?"
After a brief chat, Silver Wolf extended an olive branch to the two of them.
Isn't this just recruiting partners? Silver Wolf thought the two were alright, so he decided to keep them.
Leaving aside Silver Wolf's situation for now, David has also run into trouble.
Who are you...?
David was somewhat stunned as he looked at the two burly men at the door.
However, the next moment, he was grabbed by the neck and lifted high by the other party.
"It's you! What exactly did you do to our hospital?"
In an instant, David's face turned extremely pale; clearly, the enemy had come seeking revenge.
And... I can't even beat these people!
Silver Wolf had mentioned in a casual conversation before that, given the seriousness of the hospital matter and the fact that the root of the problem hadn't been completely eradicated, someone would come looking for you sooner or later.
David thought the other party would take at least a while to react, but he didn't expect them to be so efficient.
In less than half a day, the enemy had already blocked the door?
Silver Wolf (Cyberpunk): 7: You guys are keeping me from doing my daily quests...
Who are you? Let David go!
Gloria's expression changed drastically when she saw David being choked. She immediately picked up a kitchen knife and walked towards the group.
"Huh? The file says you were seriously injured, so how come you're still alive and kicking?"
A burly man looked at Gloria with a hint of doubt on his face, then let Gloria chop at his arm with a kitchen knife.
Seeing David being attacked, Gloria's ferocity was also aroused.
Unfortunately, the opponent's entire body had been modified with cybernetic implants. When the cleaver struck the opponent, it only cut a gash in their clothes, without causing any damage to their body.
No, if I had to say, would a faint white scratch count?
For a prosthetic body, an ordinary kitchen knife is far too weak; their hardness is simply not on the same level.
"Annoying! Tell me, where's the person who led you out of the hospital? If you don't tell me where she is, I'll strangle this brat right now!"
"Cough cough..."
As he spoke, the man's hand tightened slightly, and David also showed a pained expression at the opportune moment.
"Don't touch David! I said!"
Gloria looked at this scene with a grim expression, and then said...
Upon hearing this, the man loosened his grip slightly.
“I don’t know the specifics, but I can call her over now.”
Gloria's face broke out in a nervous sweat before she spoke slowly.
"Hmph, if you know what's good for you, hurry up. I want her to know what happens when you offend us! As for your lives, we'll see how you behave."
As the man spoke, he grinned cruelly.
He had already decided that he would have his subordinate take care of the troublemaker later. He figured the other guy would definitely make a move when his life was threatened.
Then, when David thought he could survive, he dismembered the other man's limbs piece by piece, letting him die in despair.
In all these years, no one has dared to cause trouble at the hospital; they are the first.
Therefore, men must make an example of someone to deter others.
As for the amazing methods the man had seen in the key control, he considered them a smokescreen. Perhaps the other party had some special cybernetics. However, his own cybernetics were military-grade, something he had acquired at great expense. No matter how strong the other party was, they couldn't take it from him.
"Wait, Mom! No, this guy will definitely not let us go. We're going to die anyway, so why drag others down with us?"
David gritted his teeth and looked at Gloria.
"Shut up! If you say another word, I'll kill you right now!"
