Two Choices

"Bang bang bang!"

As the strong man pulled the trigger, countless bullets flew out like a surging swarm of bees, piercing through the windows of David's house car.

Fortunately, David and his mother had already noticed something was wrong the moment before and had fallen down in advance.

Therefore, they just watched as a large number of bullets passed through both sides of their car windows, flying over their heads.

"Bang bang bang!" The bullets hit the Militech car, only sparking a little before being bounced off, leaving several shallow bullet marks without penetrating the car door.

The Militech people naturally wouldn't wait to be shot; the driver floored the accelerator and rushed out of the machine gun's range.

"Don't let him escape! The suit-wearing dogs' cars are electroplated!"

The armed black strong man roared, and the white bearded strong man who climbed out of the sunroof immediately raised the rocket launcher in his hand and aimed it at the Militech car in front.

"Jackie, that white guy's hairstyle is the same as yours," V joked as he watched this scene.

"Okay, I admit he has good taste in hairstyles," Jackie said, relieved to see that both the mother and son were fine, using the opportunity to praise his own aesthetic sense.

"Bang!"

The rocket launcher was launched and detonated after hitting the end of the Militech car. The huge impact caused the car to flip forward, standing upright on the road with its front end.

The Beast Gang's car dodged, but David's family's car behind was not so lucky and was overturned by the Militech car.

"Let's go, get out and save people."

"Zzzzz--" Jackie immediately pulled over and turned on the hazard lights.

The entire yellow car flipped over, and David, still inside, painfully opened his eyes. There were some bloodstains flowing down his head, and through his rebooting cybernetic eye, he could see his mother lying motionless on the ground not far away.

"Mom!" David called out loudly, while trying to climb out of the car window.

At this moment, a projection came down, and the Trauma Team's hovercraft, which had been waiting in the sky for a long time, slowly landed. Several Trauma Team paramedics filed out and found the injured.

David breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, the paramedic in front of him said something that made him despair.

"This person is not a client, neither is this woman, just leave them for the hearse."

Then they quickly left.

"Hey! Hey!" David hurriedly called out, trying to call the paramedics back.

"Mom, wake up, get up quickly!"

"Damn it, get up!"

David struggled desperately to get out, but the seat belt seemed to be stuck.

Just then, a shadow fell on David's blood-stained face.

"Need any help?"

David struggled to look up with difficulty and found a handsome young man with a smile on his face. His naturally curly hair was a bit long, and he couldn't see any implants on his face, as clean as a Flesh Ascension enthusiast.

"Yes!" David hurriedly agreed, but saw the young man take out a knife and start cutting his seat belt: "No, save my mother first, she's over there!"

"Don't worry." Chu Ke turned his body slightly, revealing the scene behind him. Only then did David see that his mother had already been helped up by a strong man and a white-haired girl: "My friends are handling things over there."

In the dim corridor, sparks sputtered from the emergency exit sign.

Chu Ke looked at the grimy cracks in the floor and the bloodstains that couldn't be scrubbed away, finding it hard to believe this was a hospital.

More like an underground clinic.

This was where David had brought them, saying someone his mother knew was here.

Chu Ke and the others had gone along with it, bringing David's unconscious mother here.

David wasn't seriously injured, just a bit concussed. The doctor had simply bandaged the wound on David's head and then gone to see his mother.

At the moment, David was quietly staring at the floor, sitting with Chu Ke, while V and Jackie had excused themselves to find the restroom and left ahead of them.

"Oh, I forgot to thank you," David said, snapping out of his daze, smiling gratefully at Chu Ke. "I'll pay you back for the medical bills after my mother wakes up."

The doctor here charged very little, but it was still more than David could afford right now, so he had only asked for the most basic package, which Chu Ke and the others had paid for in advance.

"No problem," Chu Ke said with a smile. "Let's add each other as friends."

With his abilities, he didn't need a brain-computer interface or cybernetic eyes at all. His physical body could directly connect to the network, and he could use the Fundamental Forces to create a legitimate account.

"Okay!" After adding Chu Ke as a friend, David asked curiously, "By the way, how old are you, Brother Chu?"

He had just learned the names of the three people who had saved him and his mother. V, who he had initially thought was a girl, was actually a man. David had almost been beaten when he called him "Miss," and he didn't know why he didn't like it but still had his appearance surgically altered to look female.

Maybe it was a fetish.

"I'm 18 this year." This body was indeed eighteen years old, as for his previous life? What a joke, a teenager is always eighteen, okay? "Ah?" David was a little surprised. Judging by Chu Ke's demeanor, he had initially thought he had undergone plastic surgery to look younger, but he didn't expect him to be about the same age as himself.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from the corridor, and Chu Ke and David turned their heads to look. It was V, who had gone to the restroom earlier, returning.

At this moment, they were splattered with some blood, and their feet left bloody footprints as they walked.

David was startled, but Chu Ke, as if he had expected it, joked, "Finished taking care of your physiological needs?"

"If killing Scavengers counts as taking care of physiological needs, then yes, I'm done," V replied nonchalantly.

"Just tell me if it was fun or not. By the way, where's Jackie?"

"Over there." V nodded towards the operating room. "Guarding inside."

"What exactly happened?" David was still out of the loop, feeling confused.

"Just come up and see for yourself, and you'll know."

Chu Ke stepped forward and kicked open the closed door, revealing the emergency room behind it.

David had wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he quickly followed.

Entering the emergency room, the walls were covered in mottled bloodstains. Sealed plastic bags contained all sorts of bloody cybernetics, and the freezer next to them was open, revealing bloody organs.

The floor was covered in fresh blood, and a group of white coats wearing masks were lying in the pool of blood. David's own mother was lying on the operating table in the center of this pool of blood.

Jackie, who had gone to the restroom earlier, was now holding a gun to the head of a surviving "doctor," supervising him as he bandaged David's mother's wounds.

David wasn't someone who had never seen this kind of situation before, so he naturally recognized at a glance that this wasn't just an underground clinic. Or rather, under the guise of an underground clinic, they were doing the work of Scavengers, stealing patients' organs and cybernetics! And his mother was the next victim.

Fortunately, Jackie and V had stormed in ahead of time, saving him and his mother from the tragedy.

"How is it?" Chu Ke asked Jackie.

"The injuries have stabilized." The flesh on Jackie's face was almost twisted together: "Maldito bruto! (Damn beast!)"

"That's good."

In the next moment, Chu Ke didn't know where he pulled out a pistol, and stuffed it into David's hand, who was still in shock.

"We also have our own things to do, you have two options now."

"One, shoot this damn Scavenger to death, and then come with us to send your mother to another hospital for continued treatment."

"Two, we leave, and you and your mother wait here for this surviving Scavenger to call people to continue his business, of course, this time you'll probably be lying there with her."

Things are done, tomorrow will resume 4k updates!

You can guess what David will get from Chu Ke this time～(∠ω<)⌒☆
