17: I came at the right time

After starting to track Valentine, Fang Yun could be said to be going full throttle, but because he needed to constantly fine-tune his direction, he could only maintain a speed of 150 kilometers per hour and couldn't drive any faster.

Listening to the sounds of Valentine and the Nightwalkers engaged in a fierce chase coming from the car radio, Fang Yun wasn't too worried about Valentine's safety.

After all, Valentine is the protagonist of the cyberpunk 2077 world, and judging from the conversation between Valentine and Toke in the same car, it can be determined that the Nightwalkers chasing them are not elites, but most likely newly absorbed fringe members of the Nightwalkers from the Maelstrom.

The development of the subsequent chase between Valentine and the Nightwalkers was also just as Fang Yun expected. Although gunshots and explosions constantly came from the car radio, it was clear that Valentine and Toke were not in mortal danger.

When Valentine and Toke got out of the car, the signal source of the thunder they were riding in disappeared, but Fang Yun already knew their final destination, so he didn't care about the disappearance of the thunder signal source.

"thunder" can receive public signal channels within a ten-kilometer radius and can also intercept private signal channels within ten kilometers by invading ICE.

However, if the system being invaded has strong ICE protection (roughly equivalent to the self-ICE level of a top Hacker in Afterlife), then "thunder"'s ICE invasion might be detected.

Of course, with Valentine's current Hacker level and ICE strength, it is naturally impossible to detect "thunder"'s ICE invasion. Toke cannot either. The Nightwalkers chasing them cannot either.

Therefore, Fang Yun ordered the "thunder"'s onboard intelligent control System to eavesdrop on the private signal channels (i.e., phone channels and squad communication channels) of Valentine, Toke, and the Nightwalkers chasing them.

"Buzz... buzz buzz..."

"Valentine, let's hide the goods in a safe place. Follow me."

...

"Valentine, they've started tracking the decoy trail I left."

...

"Bang--!"

"Now! Valentine! Open fire!"

...

"Buzz... buzz buzz..."

"Let's be careful, those two Wanderers might be ambushing nearby."

...

"I always have a bad feeling."

"Don't scare yourself. Concentrate and stay alert."

...

"Bang--!"

"Damn it! It's a grenade, take cover quickly!"

...

Fang Yun looked at the abandoned town that was already close by, stepped on the brake, and stopped the "thunder" outside the town.

Then, Fang Yun opened the door, got out of the car, and locked the "thunder".

"It seems Valentine has already started fighting with that group of Nightwalkers."

Against the backdrop of the dark night, the firelight in the abandoned town was clearly visible from outside the town.

Listening carefully, Fang Yun could also hear the sounds of gunshots coming from the town.

"Looks like it's a fierce fight."

"Valentine and the remaining Nightwalkers are in a standoff, so it seems I'm not late, I'd even say I'm just in time."

Fang Yun grinned, saying with a touch of malice:

"Let me bring a little bit of Cybertronian shock to the not-yet-grown-up Valentine."

After speaking, Fang Yun activated the "Void Walker" (Sandiwestan).

In an instant, the entire world became slow in Fang Yun's perception.

The gunshots coming from the town, which would normally sound like 1 second to a normal person, were stretched out to a full 50 seconds in Fang Yun's current perception!

"Is this the power of the most powerful Fifth Order accelerated cyberware, the 'Void Walker'?"

"Really, it's amazing~."

Fang Yun spread his arms and enjoyed the feeling of controlling time brought by the Void Walker for a while.

Then, he took a step and disappeared from where he was.

------Separation Line------

The surrounding scenery retreated like fleeting shadows, and in Fang Yun's perception, everything around him was stretched into lines, with only the target ahead maintaining its normal form and getting closer and closer.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Fang Yun arrived at the scene of the standoff between Valentine and the Nightwalkers.

Now, on Fang Yun's left were the Nightwalkers, and on his right were Valentine and Toke.

And the bullets fired by the warring parties, in Fang Yun's view, were slowly tearing through the air.

After a few simple sidesteps, Fang Yun dodged all the bullets and arrived behind the Nightwalkers.

Looking at the Nightwalkers who were about to die but were completely unaware, Fang Yun thought about what weapon to use to kill them.

"Use the projectile launcher to blast those two Nightwalker lackeys into pieces, and then use the mantis blades to decapitate this one who looks a bit stronger. Yes, that's what I'll do."

After deciding how to deal with these three Nightwalkers in his mind, Fang Yun activated the projectile launcher cyberware, aimed at the two Nightwalker lackeys, and gave each of them a miniature rocket.

Then, Fang Yun put away the projectile launcher, raised his arms, and a pair of fiery red mantis blades suddenly popped out from his forearms.

Fang Yun crossed the two mantis blades together with a sense of ceremony, and then slowly separated them along the blades.

The blades of the mantis blades rubbed against each other, making a tearing sound with a metallic texture.

With a sharp 'whoosh', Fang Yun quickly separated the mantis blades. Then, he swung his right arm, instantly cutting off the head of the last surviving Nightwalker.

"Splurt--"

A large stream of blood instantly spurted out from the Nightwalker's neck, and the strong impact force of the blood spray directly sent the Nightwalker's head flying into the air.

After a while (in Fang Yun's perception), this large head finally fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and finally stopped next to the Nightwalker's fallen body.

Fang Yun swung his hand back, shaking off the blood that hadn't evaporated from the mantis blades, and then stood there, striking a pose that made anyone who saw him instantly feel that he was extremely powerful. (Delivery worker standing in snow delivering food picture.jpg)
