Chapter 26: Money
Four Ai spoke to Sun Jack, but realizing he couldn’t hear her, she pulled a mechanical cochlear implant from her thigh and inserted it into his ear.
“At such close range, you dared to fire a cannon? Were you not afraid of blowing yourself to pieces?” she chided, quickly tending to his other wounds.
“If I didn’t fire, I’d be the one dead,” Sun Jack managed to say through gritted teeth.
“With a combat prosthetic like yours, firing at such proximity risks injuring yourself. You should replace all your skin with heat-resistant and shockproof material.”
Sun Jack shook his head. “Maybe someday.”
