Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 23 23. Don't expect harmony and friendship from Tim who just gathered together

Thirty-five minutes before the action, Zhou Ke woke up from a light sleep. Under the effect of the drug, his physical strength had recovered a lot. He was still a little sleepy, but it was not a big problem.

Ajie, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, was still eating and drinking, but the cutting saw was always kept at hand. Although he could not speak and was a madman, the guard's attitude was unexpectedly reassuring.

Zhou Ke walked to the door of the locker room and looked outside. Two and a half hours had passed, and the fighters outside were still having fun. As midnight approached, this amazing "party of a thousand people" seemed to be reaching its climax.

Those who are going to fight tomorrow have obviously given up hope.

Driven by despair, they drank big gulps of cheap liquor, and were spraying out the last bit of their life and passion in a self-destructive manner after the mechanical piston movement.

Occasionally, sporadic gunshots were heard.

It wasn't a gunfight, it was just that some broken guys in the extremely empty sage time shot themselves, marking the end of their lives.

Their bodies would soon be carried away by rusty cleaning robots. No one would stop this crazy act of suicide. Anyway, the fighters had already entered the Final Ceremony in the Tiger's Nest, and their death at this time would also be a "self-sacrifice."

This is the last protest of the weak who cannot resist their fate against the world.

Zhou Ke could not comment on this behavior, but that did not prevent him from despising those who committed suicide after indulging themselves.

You've got a gun in your fucking hand, and you dare to shoot yourself, so why don't you take a few more Tiger State guards with you before you die, so as to reduce some of the pressure on the next prison break for those who are really brave?

From this we can see that although every bullet can kill people, they also have their own destiny as weapons. Some people can use a bullet to start a world war, while others can only use it to hurt themselves.

If I had known this, I would have rotted on the production line! - Bullet said so, feeling very unlucky.

"Joker, this machine has to activate this damn alarm clock with a sad heart, because your scheduled 'suicide time' has arrived!"

Amid the low mechanical sound, Zhou Ke glanced at the device that lit up on his left arm.

He curled his lips, put on his marching backpack, picked up his sunglasses from the table, gestured to Ajie, and the two left the locker room.

At the same time, many people turned around like Zhou Ke, some drank the last glass of wine in their hands, some pushed the magazine full of bullets into the gun chamber, and some kissed the strange woman who was still in a daze beside them.

They pushed aside those who blocked their way and headed towards the same place as if they were walking against the tide of people.

Walking among the howling and groaning crowd, he rejected the invitation of weakness, raised the final middle finger to indulgence, ridiculed the despair that lingered behind him, turned his back on the carnival night that was gradually reaching a climax, walked into the shadow of danger, and faced his own destiny with weapons in hand.

I don’t know who fired the first shot, but what happened next was a natural progression.

Several Tiger State soldiers guarding elevator No. 13 were brutally knocked down and dragged away. Even the elite biochemical maniacs could not face the sudden attack of so many wastelanders.

Without even giving any warning, they became among the first to be dismembered during this night of revelry.

When Zhou Ke arrived here, the elevator had already run twice, sending more than seventy people underground. He noticed that these guys had blood-stained cloth wrapped around their arms or arms. Obviously, they cut off the skin stained with pheromones according to Zhou Ke's instructions before taking action.

For these tough guys, it was just a superficial injury.

"Why do you still keep that thing?"

Mark wiped the bloody eagle claw knife on his hand, glanced at Zhou Ke, and said puzzledly:
"Aren't you afraid of being tracked?"

"I really want to cut it off."

Zhou Ke touched his neck with a gloomy look on his face and said:

"But the guy stamped it pretty accurately, right next to my artery, and I didn't want to bet on my or anyone else's steady hand.

You don't have to worry about being tracked, Mark.

We made such a big noise here at Elevator No. 13, unless the people of Tiger Country are all fools, there is no way this can be concealed."

"I understand. Avoiding being tracked is something you need to consider after you escape."

Mark grinned and said:
"The most important thing right now is to get you into the room with the firewall entity and let you disable the damn thing as soon as possible, right?"

"Well, it's good to see you're thinking clearly, Mark."

Zhou Ke laughed and glanced back, and saw Moni and his men rushing over with a bloody snake-shaped sword.

The guy gestured and said:
"It's going to be a mess here in ten minutes. We've planted explosives to add fuel to this night of revelry. Brothers, hurry up. By the way, I just took out a Valkyrie. Am I awesome?"

"Fuck, that's awesome!"

Mark raised his eyebrows, gave a thumbs up, and said:
"I looked everywhere but couldn't find her. All those Tiger Bang bitches look the same. How did you catch her?"

"She came up to me on her own initiative. We were having a good time, and then I saw the tattoo on her back. It was a big tattoo of a tiger. It was definitely not an ordinary technique. At that time, I knew I had caught a 'big fish'."

Moni shared some useless information, he said jokingly:

"Even the Tiger State's Valkyries are no different from other fragile people when they reach the peak of joy. The polymer blade piercing their brains from the neck is just as deadly. After all, no matter how much they strengthen their bodies, it is impossible for them to train their brains to have muscles that can block bullets."

"I feel like you're showing off something, you hopelessly stinky man."

Zhou Ke said sarcastically, and then the thugs around him laughed. As the elevator opened again, everyone filed in. Zhou Ke knocked open the elevator control panel with a polymer dagger, pulled out the signal interface and connected it to the energy-enhancing device, and said to the others:
"This elevator can only reach underground normally. If you want to reach the location of the firewall entity, you must break through the information security of Tiger Nation. Fortunately, this is not difficult.

Hold on tight!

I'm going to go bungee jumping mode."

"What?"

Mark Biao asked in a hurry.

The next moment he understood what Zhou Ke meant. The smoothly descending elevator seemed to have its arresting cable suddenly cut off, and it slid down with a roaring posture like falling from a building, scaring dozens of carefully selected elite soldiers in the large elevator into screaming.

The uninformed wastelanders have certainly never tried such a self-inflicted entertainment activity as bungee jumping, but this does not prevent Zhou Ke from being the calmest among them.

Wuneng precisely controlled the descent direction, and when he was about to reach the destination, the rapid buffering made everyone a little unsteady on their feet. Then the elevator door opened, facing the dark floor passage in front of them.

"Go!
Go down from here and turn left at the end. Break through the door and you will enter the sewer leading to the sewage treatment plant. Don't rush to break through. Wait for the best time to act."

Zhou Ke said to Moni:

"I don't know how many Tiger State defenders there are, so I can only wish you a safe journey."

"Ah."

Moni knew that the time of departure had come. He was a little excited and expectant. He walked out of the elevator, looked back at Zhou Ke, and said to Mark:
"Take good care of my friends for me, and I will reward you handsomely later."

"What nonsense are you talking about? He is my brother too."

Although Mark was narrow-minded, he was still a partner who risked his life together. He showed some true feelings at this time. He threw his modified and very crude hand cannon over and said:
"It's really not fair to poach some people from you. I don't have much to explain. Anyway, Moni, I wish you a safe journey and hope to see you again!"

"The ones you can poach are definitely not my brothers or sisters."

Moni waved his hand and said:

"Bon voyage."

Then, the elevator closed and rushed down again at a whistling speed to the hidden area at the bottom amid a group of people's screams and howls.

When the elevator reached the firewall entity area 20 meters underground at almost the speed of jumping off a building, Zhou Ke saw a large red warning on the screen of the energy-enhancing device.

"Hu Bang has discovered our actions! Maybe there is some damn early warning device here. Anyway, the other three elevators leading to this place have been activated, and soon enough hot friends will come to greet us.

go!
Seize the moment. ”

Zhou Ke rushed out of the elevator first and covered his face with a metal mask.

The effect of forced calmness allowed him to pull out the Wolverine rifle and adjust it to full-automatic mode while running. He also opened the under-slung grenade and fired at the metal door in front of him.

Amid the roar of flames, the road leading to the firewall entity was clear. In the clean corridor that was completely different from the style of the End Castle, a few guys who looked like engineers curiously stuck their heads out to check, only to be greeted by a few bullets from Zhou Ke.

"Clear out the irrelevant people on both sides! Don't destroy anything you don't understand."

He waved his hand and gave orders to Mark and the thugs behind him. The crowd immediately dispersed and rushed to the aisles on both sides, followed by fierce gunfire.

The people here are obviously not professionals that Tiger State can train. They should be staff sent by Acholi Group to assist Tiger State in maintaining the firewall entity center. They are not used to the fighting style of the Badlands people and almost collapsed at the first touch.

Although there were Tiger State biochemical warriors patrolling the area, it was obvious that no one could have anticipated that someone would come and invade this mysterious place that 99% of the locals didn't know about during the Final Festival.

They were quickly defeated after being attacked by surprise, but this was not good news. Wu Neng, which had just connected to the data network of the End Castle, kept popping up warnings one after another. The Tiger State responded quickly, and elite soldiers were constantly being sent here. It seemed that the top leaders of the Tiger State were also aware of the huge troubles that would be brought here once the firewall entity was destroyed. However, Zhou Ke also noticed that one of the three elevators that were transporting soldiers to the underground suddenly stopped at the floor where the fighters were resting.

He knew that this was the backup plan that Moni had left behind that had been activated, and the decadent night of carnival had now turned into a true "night of thugs".

"Ajie! Charge!"

After breaking through another checkpoint, Zhou Ke saw the huge circular space in front of him and the wonderful machine standing in the space ahead, like a stationary white light prism tower.

A thick glass partition blocked his entry, and a group of Tiger State warriors were guarding there. In the control room behind them, several staff members were huddled together in fear.

At Zhou Ke's roar, Ajie picked up the high-speed rotating cutting saw and rushed forward despite the hail of bullets in front of him. The next moment, the blood spurted out like a waterfall and splashed on the windows of the control room and the glass compartment. The screams and the sound of flesh being cut made the Acholi staff hiding in the control room almost vomit.

"Open the door!"

Zhou Ke knocked on the closed metal door.

Obviously no one would open the door in this situation, so he took off the explosive from his waist and smashed it hard on the glass window, then waved his pistol at the people inside.

The threat is quite obvious.

Either you open the door yourself, or he'll blow the place up.

"We have nothing to do with this, you have to ensure our safety"

The person inside shouted something, and Zhou Ke rolled his eyes in a calm state and said:
"Okay, I promise you, open the door, then find a bathroom to hide in, lock the door and don't make a sound until this is over. I'm trustworthy. Now I'll count down to ten. 10! 6! 3"

"Can you even count?"

The door was opened, and what came into view was a girl screaming in fear. One look at her appearance showed that she was not from the Badlands, because people from the Badlands did not have such fair skin.

"Go ahead and hide."

Zhou Ke didn't shoot her, but reminded her in a gentlemanly manner:
"Remember to remove all the smart devices on your body and throw them away in advance! Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you when you go to hell later."

With that, he strode toward the control console.

There was no need for these frightened staff to help with the operation. He just needed to find a data interface and plug it into the energy-comprehension device. His "little idiot" had enough ways to resolve all blockades.

A few minutes later, when the last bulletproof glass compartment was opened and the road to the firewall entity was smooth, Mark, covered in blood, rushed in and cursed:

"The guys from Tiger State are crazy! They sent Valkyries to attack us. My brothers suffered heavy losses. This is just like a pig trap. I should have asked Moni to bring people down to protect you.

Zhou Ke, how long will it take you?"

"It's time now. Let your people withdraw. I should be able to buy some time by locking the passage here. But now I have bad news for you."

Zhou Ke frowned as he looked at the various parameters that kept flashing across the Wuneng screen, then glanced at the high-tech Light Prism Firewall in front of him and said:

"We need someone to climb up!"

"What?"

Mark looked at Zhou Ke in astonishment, waiting for an explanation. Zhou Ke pointed at the light prism tower with electric currents flashing on its surface and said:
"Its core socket is on top, and only that socket can be used to implant whitelist programs. Uh, you don't understand, right?
Anyway, we have to climb up.

But if that thing is not turned off, there is a strong electric current on its surface, which is enough to turn ordinary people into charred corpses in a short period of time. You have biochemical warriors under your command, so you should be able to hold out for a while longer.

Now, call them over here!"

As he spoke, Wuneng also locked the corridor leading to the control room.

Soon, Mark and more than a dozen of his surviving core members followed Zhou Ke to the front of the circular space, where there was a steel frame structure surrounding a firewall entity that looked like a light prism tower. By climbing along this thing, they could reach the firewall entity.

Two wastelanders who specialized in blasting rushed forward and set up the explosives, successfully blasting a large hole in the protective layer above the firewall entity.

The directional blasting revealed the extremely sophisticated structure inside, and also exposed the dangerous light blue strong electric current network that was visible to the naked eye to everyone.

"See? There's a data port underneath the explosion hole."

Zhou Ke pointed there and said to others:

"I need someone to deliver my device and connect it to the interface. It will take care of the rest. But it's very dangerous. You have to pass through the strong current network with your body. If you're unlucky, you'll die on the spot. So I think we should draw lots."

He took out a handful of notes he had just written in the control room and said to the people around him:

"Let fate decide it all."

No one opened their mouths, no one spoke, just like the attitude of the people in Slag Town when facing the fighter drawing lots. Even the thugs with their heads on their belts would choose Da-Mei when faced with such a choice.

Zhou Ke had anticipated this situation.

He looked at Mark, and now Mark needed to stand up and show his leadership qualities, but Mark avoided Zhou Ke's eyes. This made Zhou Ke very disappointed. This guy... Tsk tsk, it turned out to be as strong on the outside but weak on the inside as he expected.

"I have a better idea!"

A wastelander said in a hoarse voice. At the same time, the muzzle of the gun that had just been fired and still smelled of gunpowder was pressed against the back of Zhou Ke's head. The guy said sternly:

"Don't you have a bio-mad servant as well? Let him go! He's stronger than any of us bio-warriors, and he can last longer."

"Ajie is crazy, are you crazy too?"

Zhou Ke guessed the direction of this matter and spoke casually, as if he was not the one with the gun pointed at his head. He asked back:

"Are you sure you want to entrust this kind of thing to a lunatic who can't even speak?"

"Why don't you just guide him from the side? He listens to you anyway, and you made a very reasonable statement before, asking the brothers to follow your instructions, but so many people died! In your words, we have shown our sincerity.

Now it’s your turn! ”

The guy made a signal to the people around him, and soon someone came forward and took away Zhou Ke's weapon. During the process, Zhou Ke did not resist and behaved extremely submissively.

He just took the time to look at Mark. The guy looked ugly but did not stop his subordinates' rude behavior.

"Okay, let's go, you guys hold off the pursuers down below."

Zhou Ke retracted his gaze and stopped Ajie's resistance with a gesture. Then, under the aim of several guns, he removed the energy device on his wrist.

Of course, this is just an appearance. The energy-enhancing device released the permanent lock by itself, and it needs to "take action personally" for the next task.

"Come with me, Ajie."

Zhou Ke waved to Ajie and took him onto the steel frame structure in front of them, and soon arrived at the explosion hole above the firewall entity.

He handed the energy-enhancing device to Ajie, made a plug-in and pull-out gesture, and whispered to him:
“See that red connector?

Pull it out and plug it into this thing.

Don't mind the rudeness of those idiots just now. I never expected to leave this task to them. The chance to decide your fate must always be in your own hands. So, this was your task from the beginning. I gave them a chance.

Unfortunately, some birds have stupidity in every feather. They know how to break free from the cage, but seeking death is their only destined outcome.

I know it's going to be a little painful to go through the fence, but hold on, I'll get you out!
I will never abandon you."

"hurry up!"

The guys with guns below yelled a few times. The locked passage was being broken through quickly. They really didn't have much time left.

Even Mark, who had remained silent, grabbed the Wolverine rifle and aimed at Zhou Ke.

Zhou Ke glanced at those guys with a calm look as if he was looking at a talking corpse.

Actually, Zhou Ke originally felt a little guilty about abandoning a group of people as bait in order to buy enough time for his escape, but now this "trolley problem" has been solved.

He clearly gave the option of a loving ending, but there were always some self-righteous "idiot idea kings" who insisted on choosing this more exciting settlement route. As I said, grassroots operatives cannot be too smart, especially when they think they are very smart but are actually just fools.

You choose your own path, buddy.

So, when you go to hell as cannon fodder later, don't be like a sissy and cry and complain to the King of Hell in the evil land that I am cruel and heartless.
