170: Terrorist Mobile Team

The cyberpsychosis Riot Squad (MAX-TAC), full name "Maximum Force Tactical Division" (pulling English.jpg).

In "cyberpunk 2077", it is the elite special operations division of the NCPD (Night City Police Department), specifically responsible for handling cyberpsychosis cases.

In the game's background setting, the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad is incredibly powerful, striking fear into countless cyberpunks.

As for in the game itself—they're just a roadside attraction (confirmed).

The cyberpsychosis Riot Squad is subordinate to the NCPD's tactical division, initially just a small team under the "Special Weapons and Tactics Department" (which is our beloved SWAT).

Later, as their enforcement scope expanded, the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad gradually became a special unit independent of other NCPD departments, possessing a high degree of autonomy.

The primary mission of the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad is to hunt down or suppress cyberpsychosis, and occasionally they are dispatched to deal with high-threat criminals.

(PS: A quick note, the cause of "cyberpsychosis" in this book is: loss of humanity (psychological illness, including but not limited to: personality imbalance, mental breakdown, etc.) / accumulated errors in neural signal clusters (this consequence is caused by prosthetic technology that has not reached the level of "mechanical ascension").)

The cyberpsychosis Riot Squad's enforcement style is primarily "shoot on sight", rarely capturing targets alive, and they enjoy complete autonomy during operations; other NCPD departments have no right to interfere with their actions.

A standard suppression team typically consists of four people: a combat expert using melee weapons (the damn teleporting Mantis Blade user in the game), a heavy weapons expert (big gun), a sniper (a coward who snipes from a distance), and a Hacker (a useless team accessory for Valentine).

Using the most advanced weapons and experimental prosthetics, the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad is far more dangerous than those useless NCPD police officers.

"Five hundred euro a month, what are you risking your life for (dog head.jpg)."

Although most of the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad's funding comes from major corporations (such as Arasaka, Militech, etc.), the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad itself has always maintained a strictly neutral stance.

"Being a dog for all companies at the same time is absolute neutrality, a genius idea."

Many members within the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad are on the verge of cyberpsychosis.

There are even rumors that some members of the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad themselves have actually experienced cyberpsychosis in the past, but were later "cured."

"A certain unnamed cyberpsychosis Riot Squad captain said: Yes, I once suffered from cyberpsychosis, and after being rescued, I agreed to be in a relationship with a heartless person. As a result, that heartless person actually abandoned me and ran away (angry.jpg)."

Within the NCPD, the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad is referred to as a "state within a state"; other departments always keep their distance, and any internal NCPD investigation involving them is immediately halted.

Their actions are often accompanied by high-intensity firefights and significant casualties, earning them the nickname "the last line of defense for Night City street safety" among players.

In addition to the name cyberpsychosis Riot Squad, they are also called by different names in different contexts, such as SPAR (Special Purpose Assault Rescue), CSU (cyberpunk Suppression Unit), Mad Control Team, and so on.

As the most lethal armed force in Night City besides the corporations, the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad symbolizes the extreme means of suppressing cyberpsychosis.

They are both the protectors of Night City's street order and ruthless machines of violence.

Alright, the official introduction is complete, now, show time.

Not a moment was spent regretting the departure of the street thugs, now appearing is the "Cy-ber-psy-cho-sis Ri-ot Squad."

Tonight is a rare rainy night in Night City.

As everyone knows, you bring a knife on a rainy night.

Also as everyone knows, the rain in Night City is acid rain, and it's worse when it rains than when it doesn't.

Leaving aside the question of whether or not to bring a knife, let's talk about this acid rain.

When Fang Yun and his two companions drove to the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad's "crime scene," the rain had already started to fall.

Illuminated by neon lights, the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad's heavy armored hovercar tore through the rainy night, slowly descending to less than three meters above the ground.

After the hovercar stopped, the rear hatch opened, and four dark blue, fully armed cyberpsychosis Riot Squad members jumped out of the vehicle one after another.

"Gua, they're experts, everyone retreat quickly!"

"How could this be, how could this be!"

"Hiss, can we reconcile?"

It's unclear why these street thugs offended the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad, or perhaps these cyberpsychosis Riot Squad members, who are not cyberpsychos but are more like them, just wanted to go on a killing spree for fun.

In short, these street thugs, who were judged to be a "cyberpsychosis riot," met their doom.

Knowing their death was imminent, some thugs tried to outrun the hovercar with their legs, some stood rooted to the spot with fear on their faces, looking ashen, and some actually raised their guns, aiming at the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad, preparing to resist.

"Looks like they're from the Vortex Gang." (Com) (Fang Yun)

"Augmented eyes are real." (Com) (Valentine)

"With such a big head covered in dense eyes, you can tell they're from the Vortex Gang at a glance." (Com) (Toke)

"I'd say maybe a Vortex Gang psycho suddenly went berserk, killed a few people, was reported, which attracted the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad, and ultimately implicated everyone." (Com) (Fang Yun)

"That's possible." (Com) (Toke)

"Who cares about all that, just watch the show. It's free entertainment, no reason not to watch." (Com) (Valentine)

Just as Fang Yun and his two companions stopped their car and chatted while observing the situation, the cyberpsychosis Riot Squad began a crushing massacre of the Vortex Gang lackeys.

"Reconcile? At this moment? You must be joking."

"Damn cyberpsychosis reserves, hurry up and die!"

"Huh! A bunch of clueless useless youths, today I'll send you all to your deaths!!!"

Except for the Hacker, the remaining three suppression team members were more emotionally charged than the last (the symptoms were more severe than the last).

The leader of the suppression team, the melee expert "Mad Dog Johnny", raised his right arm and swung it down fiercely, the hydraulic joints instantly exploding with a hundred thousand horsepower of incredible brute strength, and he punched a tattooed man who was trying to resist, causing him to explode on the spot.

The tattooed man's chest cavity was instantly pierced by "Mad Dog Johnny", followed by his spine shattering section by section, and then under the internal pressure generated by the super-high punch speed, his entire upper body directly exploded, with scattered pieces splattering everywhere.

A continuously twitching "lower body clothes rack" stood for a few seconds before falling weakly to the ground.

The Vortex Gang male, whose clothing style on the left resembled a rebellious young girl, had just pulled out his high-frequency vibrating steel spear when he noticed a crimson light flashing in the corner of his vision.

"Eat shit—!!!"

The incredibly sharp Mantis Blade, starting from the crotch below the waist, sliced upwards all the way to the crown of the head.

This young male, who had less than a second of screen time, was instantly killed.

Two perfectly symmetrical halves of a body fell directly to the ground.

Colorful contents spilled out, and the intestines, which were not yet completely inactive, were still writhing rhythmically.

"Awesome."
