Chapter 457 70. Being played with

The military technology personnel stole things from the terrorist mobile team. They attacked the terrorist mobile team’s transport convoy and took away unverified dangerous equipment. What was that equipment?
The answer is now clear.

They took the exoskeleton of the Terrorist Squad and put it on those lunatics. One person can suppress an entire city block with the high-load exoskeleton.

Exoskeletons and ACPA are different. With some small exceptions, ACPA focuses on the modification of a human body to adapt to ACPA. All adjustments are basically for the human body to adapt to ACPA, and to do relevant modifications in order to carry ACPA. In this process, ACPA is the main body, and humans are more like a vital component. Exoskeletons focus on humans as the main body.

Although some exoskeletons require users to install corresponding auxiliary prostheses, most exoskeletons are designed to be usable by anyone. As long as your body can withstand the burden brought by the exoskeleton connection, you can drive the exoskeleton. In this process, people are the main body, and the exoskeleton is only a component that enhances people’s combat capabilities.

In Carl’s opinion, without ACPA, the ACPA pilot’s combat capability may not even be able to defeat a stronger NCPD officer. For example, the elite team formed by Andy now includes all the NCPD officers with good abilities. Even if the exoskeleton installer loses the exoskeleton, it will not affect his combat capability too much. After installing the exoskeleton, he will be even more powerful.

One member of the Terrorist Squad is enough to suppress the common cyberpsychopaths in Night City in a one-on-one fight, and it is not impossible for the Terrorist Squad equipped with exoskeletons to have the combat capability to tear apart an armored vehicle with bare hands.

“I remember that this group of military technology personnel attacked the transport convoy of the Terrorist Mobile Team and seized the goods. Do you think they had any exchanges with the Terrorist Mobile Team during this process?”

Looking at the four figures approaching rapidly, Oliver threw away the Hellhound firearm, which he was not familiar with using, and took out a few modified grenades with very short fuses from his pocket.

“There were four fatalities in the Terrorist Mobile Team, which is exactly the configuration of an escort team.”

T-BUG’s voice rang out in the team channel: “Be careful, these military technology people are not simple!”

“I’ve seen familiar faces.”

Looking at the man who was at the front, controlling the exoskeleton and holding a machine gun while walking and suppressing the enemy, Jack shouted:

“They are definitely military technology personnel. The leader is the Korean guy we met in Los Angeles, the one with six eyes in the gear group. What’s his name? It seems that he has been successfully selected for conscription and is going to die for the new America and military technology!”

“Jin Zhiyun.”

V still remembered the name of this man whom he had met once before. He had already taken off his somewhat heavy and obstructive Nether Dog costume under the surprised gaze of the Nether Dog recruits next to him, and drew out his thermal samurai sword: “The guy who changed himself to be even crazier than the Uzumaki Gang and used Sian Westin without any fear.”

Carl also had an impression of this gear group guy.

Based on their performance when they first met, the Gear Group is a group of people who are more powerful than the Uzumaki Gang, better armed than the Tiger Claw Gang, and have more combat experience than the Six Street Gang.

This is a group of absolutely ‘excellent’ soldiers specially trained in the combat trial field. They may all be on the verge of mental illness. They were carefully selected from 60,000 people.

“Mr. Kurt Hansen, the craziest elite selected from the 60,000 people who have been fighting all year round. Even your Nether Dog, there shouldn’t be many people who can compare to him, right?”

Feeling the sound of the vehicle being hit, Carl smiled at Kurt Hansen: “It seems that your commission fee is well worth it.”

“Are they the guys from Los Angeles? My sons of bitches will never lose to them. Their training methods only treat soldiers as consumables. Give me more of them. If I meet them on the battlefield, I can bury them all!”

It sounds like a conflict between seasoned veterans and those high-ranking executives over training methods.

“I remember that during the corporate war, Arasaka had a combat method of throwing a modified cyber madman into the battlefield to clear an area. Do you think this is some kind of plagiarism within military technology?” “I asked you to protect my KK, not to ask me for my opinion here. You are not a journalist, why do you want to know so much?”

Kurt Hansen came back to his senses and frowned at Carl, but Carl just shrugged indifferently and said:

“Because I’m curious.”

“Curious at a time like this?”

Amidst the hail of bullets, are you curious about this thing?
“Because I have to protect you, Mr. Kurt Hansen. Protection is boring, so I have to chat with my employer to relax him and prevent him from getting nervous and afraid.”

Karl’s tone was calm, and then his body moved instantly.

“If you think the protection is not good and it doesn’t provide emotional value, and you don’t assign work next time, that’s not good.”

When Kurt Hansen came to his senses, he had already been taken away from the bunker by Carl, and the vehicle bunker he was in just now exploded due to the leakage of Junji’s fuel.

Standing on the first floor of a building on the street, Kurt Hansen squinted at the explosion: “They have four exoskeletons, and I don’t know how many people are staying in other places.”

“I know.”

Carl waved his hand and took off the helmet he had been holding in his hand and threw it to Kurt Hansen, indicating that Kurt Hansen should wear it to protect against stray bullets, and then put his hands behind his back.

His eyes followed the four blurry figures on the battlefield that began to rush towards the exoskeleton armor. At the same time, he heard the voice of the peripheral support team that had found the enemy and started fighting:

“But they don’t know who they are facing.”

They are just a group of psychopaths who were carefully selected from 60,000 people to deal with the transport team of the terrorist mobile team. Although such ability is rare, it is not unheard of.

If it’s just this level, then this job is really easy.

“I remember that you, Mr. Kurt Hansen, specifically allowed the Terrorist Squad to enter Dog Town.”

Kurt Hansen, who was holding the helmet and being watched by Carl, realized something.

“Are you going to call those cyber-psychopaths over here?”

“What are you talking about? I’m a good citizen. I just found out that the friendly and kind ‘Terrorist Squad’ who work hard for people’s safety lost something, so I called them to come and pick it up. After all, it’s too late.”

Carl looked at the flash of the thermal samurai sword in the distance and the limbs flying in the sword light, and said in a gentle tone: “Their equipment is about to be destroyed.”

As I said, playing with exoskeleton is not like ACPA, it depends on the person’s ability.
