Chapter 214 Collapse of the City (12)
The giant rabbit looks like a monster from an anime trying to destroy the world, but it unexpectedly fits in with the style of the entire Night City.
Those heavy metal joints, the flashing red light in the eyes, and the lightning-like flashes that flow around the mechanical rabbit as it moves. It looks like both patrolman's equipment and a mechanical dog. Every detail shows that it is a product of this city.
It is what is called an “urban protection agency”.
With such a behemoth patrolling the streets at night, it's no wonder that no resident dares to wander the streets in the middle of the night.
"Don't provoke it." Su Yue quickly came to the conclusion.
This mechanical rabbit is as big as a building, and every step it takes is one-third of a street long. While it exerts physical pressure, its speed and strength can easily crush humans. If it has a reliable weapon, no one can escape from it.
Even Su Yue would classify such a huge mechanical rabbit as a "very difficult opponent."
The nights in Night City are very quiet. There is never any wind here. After the curfew, even the human voices are gone, so the footsteps of the mechanical rabbit can be heard very clearly, and the earth can be felt shaking with every step.
"Since the instructions say that having a place to rest at night won't alert the city protection agency, then he should be safe." Su Yue glanced in the direction of the rest area, "Then let's find a place to hide."
He actually spoke in a very low voice, but in this silent city, no matter how small the voice was, it seemed very conspicuous.
Just as Su Yue finished speaking, two streets away, the mechanical rabbit's ears turned like a radar, and then, without any warning, turned towards Su Yue and the others!
.
The moment the mechanical rabbit turned its head, Su Yue had already reacted. He pulled Zhao Shuo hard and quickly retreated to the corner of the street. Cang Zhi also retreated at the same time as him.
Just as I retreated into the corner, a dazzling white light came on, illuminating the deserted road surface and the mottled bricks in the corners of the wall, as bright as day.
More fun than Zheng Li!
From Su Yue's perspective, the metal ring on the mechanical rabbit's forehead emitted a shining white light. The next second, a powerful light cannon shot out and hit the corner where Su Yue and the others had just stood!
After the loud noise, crackling sounds could be heard, and bricks could be broken, but Su Yue didn't have time to see the specific situation. The mechanical rabbit's attack range was farther than he had imagined. Seeing that the mechanical rabbit's ears were still turning towards them, Su Yue didn't dare to fight, and pulled Cang Zhi and Zhao Shuo and ran away quickly.
Behind him, white light lit up again and again, and dazzling light cannons bombarded the place where Su Yue had stood last time.
Such a big commotion on the street must have alarmed the people living in the houses. Some lights were on, but no one dared to come out to see what was going on, not even to open the window and look out.
The chase lasted for more than ten minutes. Although the mechanical rabbit would attack people wandering on the streets, it would not actively destroy buildings. Su Yue used the complex chessboard-like paths and finally managed to get rid of it.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the mechanical rabbit stop not far away, turn its ears a few times, and finally return to normal. It slowly turned around and walked towards the street where it was originally.
The mechanical rabbit seemed a little unwilling, and its ears shook slightly, trying to collect nearby sounds.
However, Su Yue and the others were very careful and did not make any sound. The mechanical rabbit relied entirely on hearing to find people, and its eyes flashing red light seemed to be just for decoration.
After waiting for a while and not finding the target, the mechanical rabbit walked away with heavy steps.
Only after the mechanical rabbit completely disappeared into the shadows of the building did Su Yue and the others finally breathe a sigh of relief. Who could have imagined that the so-called "city protection agency" was actually a giant attacking machine like a sweeper? However, compared to the attacking machine, there was another point that struck him as even more bizarre.
"Rabbit." Cang Zhi said.
Su Yue nodded.
Zhao Shuo was confused: "What rabbit?"
"The stuffed animal I found for Yuna today is a rabbit," Suzuki said. "The 'City Protection Agency' is also a giant rabbit. Even the art style is very similar."
Recalling Yuna's rather dark-looking little rabbit, Zhao Shuo took a deep breath. "But...shouldn't the City Protection Agency and Yuna and the others be opposing parties? The City Protection Agency is affiliated with the evil laboratory that invaded the city. Yuna and the others participated in the rally to protect the city that was about to be invaded. How could Yuna and the City Protection Agency be on the same side?"
"But it can't be called a coincidence," Cang Zhi said. "Rabbit isn't a common image, and this place isn't called Rabbit City."
But the high school girl’s favorite doll and the machine that attacks the nocturnal residents at night are both “rabbits”.
"You won't get the answer even if you dwell on it here," Su Yue said. "Let's go ask tomorrow."
"Ask Yuna?" Zhao Shuo asked, "That girl doesn't look like she would pay attention to us."
"Ask the bar's owner," Su Yue said. "As for now, let's just wait until daybreak."
.
Su Yue and the others found another rest area, and he and Cang Zhi took turns to keep watch.
This time, probably all the players had seen the giant mechanical rabbit, and no one dared to take the risk of disturbing it. No player came to their side to cause trouble the whole night.
When he woke up, Su Yue found that his watch was playing music automatically.
The music was quite pleasant, a bit like the ringing of a school bell or the sound of a roadside sprinkler in the early morning. It had a refreshing and beautiful feeling. Su Yue rubbed his eyes and saw the LCD screen of his watch flickering. He turned it on and the familiar electronic female voice appeared again.
-[Good morning, saviors! A new day has arrived in Night City.]
-【Last night, a total of seven rescuers bid farewell to us due to various reasons. We express our remembrance to them.】
Night City is currently controlled by an evil scientific research institution, and order has been disrupted. Saviors, please assist the Self-Defense Forces to dismantle the Science Fortress and restore order to the city. Collect the three-color heart keys to open the door to the Science Fortress.
-[The future of the city needs you, saviors, good luck! ]
The electronic female voice disappeared.
Looking out the window, the sky is full of red clouds, and a new day has arrived in Night City.
