Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

The violent gunfire interrupted Gloria's imagination about her son's future.

I saw the driver's seat of the pink off-road vehicle on his right pulling out a gold-cased heavy machine gun and aiming it at the company's black business car on his left.

The trigger was pulled, bullets spurted out like tongues of fire, and golden bullet cases flew out of the gun chamber one by one and fell to the ground.

Ta-ta-ta. Ta-ta-ta. Ta-ta-ta.

The bullet shattered the window glass and A-pillar of David's car, and then struck the door panel and glass of the company's black car.

David instinctively leaned back to try to avoid the machine gun fire, and watched helplessly as countless bullets penetrated their car windows and hit the black business car opposite.

Bullet holes and spider web-like cracks instantly covered the right side of the car's body, but the powerful bullets still failed to penetrate the company's business sedan.

But David and his old car couldn't withstand the heavy firepower at all. The front of the car was riddled with holes and almost rotten.

Immediately afterwards.

The black business car on the left suddenly accelerated and sprinted forward, and the Animal Gang's off-road vehicle also stepped on the accelerator to follow.

The muscular man on the roof of the pink off-road vehicle was furious, holding a red RPG rocket launcher and roaring wildly.

"Don't let the company dog ​​get away with it!"

“The company dog’s sedan is plated!”

"We'll see!"

"The Beast Brothers of the Animal Gang!"

David saw both cars rushing to the front.

The strong man on the roof of the pink off-road vehicle even carried an RPG rocket launcher on his shoulder, aiming directly at the business car to fire the shells.

But just when the shell escaped and was about to hit the business car, the company car suddenly avoided the bomb with a weird steering brake.

The shell exploded not far away and kicked up a cloud of dust.

The business car that stopped suddenly slowed down instantly and hit the left front wheel of the off-road vehicle behind it.

Bang!

The collision between the two vehicles directly caused the off-road vehicle with a higher chassis to roll over seriously. It flipped in the air and then hit the ground. A violent explosion instantly shot into the sky.

The off-road vehicle, which exploded into wreckage, hit hard in the direction Gloria was driving.

"mom!"

"Hurry up and hit the brakes!"

Gloria tried her best to turn and slam on the brakes, but the front of the car still refused to obey and crashed into the wreckage of the off-road vehicle.

David's eyes widened as he watched helplessly as the wreckage of the off-road vehicle hit him.

Then there was another loud noise!

Bang!

David felt like the world was spinning suddenly, and his vision fell into darkness.

When he regained consciousness from the car accident and tried to open his eyes, he found that he was trapped in the seat of the overturned vehicle by his seat belt, and his mother Gloria was thrown out of the car and fainted on the ground. They were surrounded by a sea of ​​fire.

The fire gradually spread and engulfed his mother. David tried his best to get out of the predicament and save his mother.

But he failed.

The hot oil-temperature flames were also approaching David himself, but he was seriously injured and was unable to save himself, let alone his mother.

David felt more helpless than ever at this moment, and just hoped that someone would come to help them.

Just when David was looking forward to it, a metal-shell floating vehicle landed quickly in front of David. Two medical staff in green health suits quickly got out of the vehicle.

"It's the trauma team, we can help!"

David finally breathed a sigh of relief and saw the light again. As long as he could get medical treatment from the trauma team in time, his mother's life would not be in danger.

The trauma team medical personnel came to David in full gear and squatted down in front of David to scan and identify him.

"This man is not a customer!"

"Neither is this woman!"

The cold words shattered David's hope. He saw that the two trauma team medical staff turned around and left without any intention of treating the mother and son.

"etc!"

Trauma team: "Our main task is to ensure the personal safety of our clients, these people can be left in the municipal corpse truck"

"What are you doing? Wait! Are you leaving us here to die?!"

"Mom! Wake up! Bastard!"

"Damn it, get up quickly! Get up quickly! Damn it!"

David used his last bit of strength to try to get out of the seat, but his lower body was stuck in the front of the car, unable to move.

"Mother!"

The sea of ​​​​fire gradually approached Gloria.

David was completely desperate. Countless complex emotions rushed to his head, and his consciousness, which had already lost too much blood, was about to fall into coma again.

Suddenly he noticed footsteps approaching, as if someone was walking beside him.

He tried hard to open his exhausted eyes, but only saw the blurry figure of the other party, but still holding on to his last hope, he raised his finger and pointed at Gloria in the sea of ​​​​fire and murmured.

"Save my mother"

Then David felt as if a switch had been turned off and fell into a dark coma.

On the second floor of the dark and dim medical clinic, David sat on an old bench, looking up at the light sign above the mechanical door. The light sign displayed three words.

in surgery.

After a simple wound dressing after the car accident, David, wearing a tattered Arasaka Academy uniform, waited for news at the door of the operating room.

As the lights in the operating room went out, the chief surgeon walked out from behind the door, with only a bib hanging on his upper body and an invisible green mask and dust mask on his face.

The doctor came to David's side, still looking at the electronic tablet in his hand. His two thick arms were clad in long sleeves and kept clicking on the screen, as if he was calculating the cost of the operation.

"The operation was very successful, but she is still in a coma and has not yet regained consciousness. We will arrange for hospitalization for a few days for observation."

"Can I see her?"

"No, the cheapest package does not include medical visits."

"That's it"

"Here is the bill. Please sign for it. I also brought your mother's belongings. Please pay the amount within three days."

David watched blankly as the doctor handed his mother's package to him, and could only passively cope and accept what happened.

"This is why everyone in Night City buys insurance." The doctor dropped these words and walked back to the operating room.

David sat blankly on the bench holding his mother's package, looking ahead in a daze.

a long time.

He took a long breath, hugged the package tightly and stood up to leave. He walked to the gate and looked back at the old black clinic. The old red lighted billboard only marked the word "clinic" with the flames. As for the prefix of the clinic, it was all black.

David was walking on the neon streets of the Night City. The night view of the city became even more unreal and blurry. When he looked up towards the city center, he saw several huge light advertisements rising straight into the sky. They seemed to be completely different from the dark blue and green street scenes beside him. world.

He walked to Santo Domingo Super Skyscraper H4, returned to his door as usual and prepared to open the electromagnetic gate, only to find a suspended laser projection flashing at the door.

"Entry denied, rent overdue."

David kicked the iron door hard, turned around and crawled back home through the ventilation duct. He knew he couldn't give up now because his mother was still waiting to pay the medical bills.

After returning home, he began to think of various ways to raise money, selling various chips he had on hand, such as basketballs and games, but found that he could not make much money at all.

After a busy night, David made all the phone calls and contacted everyone he could, but was completely unable to raise money for his mother's medical expenses.

Desperate, David had no choice but to ask the prosthetist who had sold him the pirated upgrade software how much he could get for it on the black market if he sold one of his kidneys.

The prosthetic doctor examined David's body function parameters and unexpectedly found that David's body functions were unusually good. The amount quoted to David was almost enough to offset his mother's medical expenses. David agreed to sell the body without hesitation. kidney.

But the prosthetic doctor told him that if he waited any longer, it would be possible to wait until the kidney could be adapted to a human, and then the kidney would be sold at a higher price.

But David couldn't wait too long and decided to sell the surgery tomorrow to make money. The top priority was to save his mother!

Although he was very tired after a busy night, David still insisted on changing into his school uniform and going to Arasaka Academy to teach. He could not be ordered to drop out of school again because of truancy. His mother had already endured too much for him!
