Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 24 24. Facts tell us that we need Plumby at all times
Ajie is a brainless guy.

This was not an insult but an interpretation in the physical sense. When they first met, Zhou Ke had scanned him with Wuneng, and Wuneng's conclusion was that the brain disease was beyond recovery.

He is probably one of those guys with "brains overgrowth", but because the evil succubus Zhou Ke has a unique skill of "sucking people's vitality", Ajie finally got rid of his violent and brainless days for a short time and regained his inner peace.

Although Ajie probably doesn't need that thing.

"click"

Zhou Ke tied a rope around Ajie's waist and the other end around his own waist, and then hung the lock on the load-bearing beam of the steel frame structure next to it.

After doing all this, he gestured to Ajie.

The latter ate the energy bar in his mouth, picked up the unlocked energy device and climbed up the explosion hole above the firewall entity in front of him, stretched out his hand to grab the red interface in front of him, but the moment he touched the strong power grid, even though Ajie had thick skin and flesh, he was almost fallen from the explosion hole due to the severe electric shock.

This light prism tower-shaped firewall entity is surrounded by cooling devices. Six huge fans rotate at high speed to continuously discharge waste heat. If it falls into it, it will be dismembered instantly. Ajie's physical strength is still a little bit away from the body of steel.

"try again!"

Zhou Ke shouted to him:

"Go in furiously! Bear with the pain."

Ajie whimpered a few times. Although he had no brains, he still had the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. He was a little hesitant, just like a child who knew after being burned by a candle that he shouldn't reach out to touch the flame.

But when he turned around to look at Zhou Ke, the latter made an "action" gesture to him with a firm attitude.

So the extremely obedient biochemical warrior let out a roar, and this time he didn't need to use his hands, he simply jumped in with the energy-enhancing device. The next moment, the terrifying lightning strike from the strong power grid made Ajie even experience the kind of horrifying scene of bones exposed by electric shock that can only be seen in children's cartoons.

His skin was charred black in an instant, but he managed to pass through the strong electric grid. Then he lay there, reaching out his trembling hands to grab a connector and was about to pull it off.

"Not that one! It's the red one, the one next to it."

Zhou Ke’s reminder came at the right time.

Even though Zhou Ke was always calm, there was a hint of nervousness in his voice now.

From his high vantage point, he could clearly see that the fully-armed Tiger State Valkyries had already rushed into the control room at the rear. Those tall biochemical female warriors were equipped with brutal-looking guns and carried armed backpacks that looked like flamethrowers.

There were even three bipedal mechas specially designed for attacking tough targets following behind them. The firepower was strong enough to kill through the entire Slag Town within half an hour.

A few minutes, at most!

They would be able to break through the last door and rush in to slaughter Mark and his stupid minions who were standing down there.

"Snapped"

Ajie obeyed the order in the critical moment. He pulled out the red connector and tremblingly connected it to the energy-enhancing device in his hand.

The silence of more than ten seconds made everyone's heart beat wildly. Then, no one knew what kind of trick Wu Neng had done, but a huge explosion sounded at the connection point. Then, the entire firewall entity in the form of a light prism tower exploded with dazzling sparks from beginning to end as if it was overloaded, blowing the outer defense layer into pieces.

The unconscious Ajie was thrown out and fell towards the giant fan below along with the peeled fragments like a corpse, but was swung by the rope wrapped around his waist.

Zhou Ke gritted his teeth and grabbed the rope, raised his legs and held on to the steel frame structure in front of him, using all his strength to pull his good teammate into the safe area bit by bit.

He no longer cared about the poorly connected firewall entity.

He has done everything he should and can do to the best of his ability. If it still doesn't work, then it's God's will to destroy me, not the fault of war.

"boom"

A rocket shattered the last glass compartment, and with an angry roar, a Tiger State Valkyrie painted with red battle patterns carrying two high-frequency swords passed through the flaming wreckage.

Her sisters followed her into the area where these suicidal bastards were. They advanced forward under the firepower of Mark and his group, and the two bipedal breakthrough mechas behind them also followed.

But the strange thing was that they should have opened fire, but at this moment they were like confused humans, shaking the muzzles of the four brutal miniature machine guns at their sides.

It seemed as if it was wondering who to shoot at this time?
No one knew what the energy-enhancing device had done to the firewall, but the fact was that the "security protocol barrier" that had been protecting the Tiger State territory for many years disappeared quietly in an instant, just like a thorny turtle shell being knocked off, revealing the defenseless sweet and soft meat underneath.

Will the data ghost lingering in the broken network left over from the old civilization miss this good opportunity?

The answer is no!
Not only that, but like a predator that has been hungrily waiting for food to come out of its nest, the moment the firewall entity was closed, the "awakening disease" that made people shudder in the evil land took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.

Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently.

Just as Zhou Ke gritted his teeth and pulled the unconscious Ajie onto the steel frame structure, the three black breakthrough mechas seemed to have finally found the "correct enemy" they should deal with.

With a few screams, the Tiger State mechanic in the cockpit was knocked unconscious and killed by the violent electric current surging from the operating lever. Then the dormant miniature machine gun started to turn again, no longer aiming at those daring rebel fighters, but targeting all the organic creatures that were still moving in front of it.

As Zhou Ke lay in the safe area and spied stealthily, he witnessed with his own eyes the birth of three brand new "organic hunters".

Especially when the bullets from the terrifying firepower of the guns attacked from behind and tore through the bodies of the Tiger State warriors, he could even clearly see the surprise and horror on the faces of the Valkyries.

"The machine has gone crazy, run!"

Mark, who was at the end of his rope, was immediately ecstatic when he saw this scene. He kicked the guy next to him and did not fight back. Instead, he rolled over and lay down, taking advantage of the battle between the Valkyries and the crazy machines to run away with the remaining few people in the chaos.

Zhou Ke’s crazy plan actually succeeded.

Now the entire Castle of the End has been shrouded in the disaster of the awakening disease, and these defected fighters have become the least noticeable ones in all the disasters that are about to begin.

The moment he rushed to the passage leading to the outside world, Mark, covered in blood, looked back for some unknown reason.

Right on that steel frame structure, Zhou Ke, who was helping Ajie to stand up, also looked at him at this moment.

Although they were far apart, Mark clearly saw the cold expression on Zhou Ke's face, who was always smiling. The parting look as if he was looking at a corpse made this wasteland man shudder. He knew that he had really annoyed this guy, even though he had his reasons.

"Let's go, boss. Let's go up and reunite with our brothers and escape. To the damn End of the World Celebration, to the damn Tiger Nation! When we escape, we can become new legends in the Bad Land."

The guy who first threatened Zhou Ke with a gun shouted excitedly, which brought Mark back to his senses.

He didn't say much, but just put Zhou Ke's pistol in his hand on his belt, put on Zhou Ke's marching backpack, rolled up all of Zhou Ke's things, and rushed out with his brothers.

Nothing can stop them from running towards freedom. Even if this is a story of freedom full of betrayal, it can still become a new legend in the Badlands, just like the older generation legends such as Tiger King and Snake Man. In the future, every wastelander in the Badlands will know all of this, and sing praises to and follow them.

Ah, the first batch of survivors since the End of the Festival, what a glorious title.

"You look a little angry, Joker. How about we detonate the proton bomb on this machine and blow these traitorous idiots and this city up into the sky to vent your anger?"

At the explosion hole of the firewall entity that had eliminated the strong power grid, Zhou Ke took back the energy-enhancing device. At the moment when he fastened the permanent lock, he heard this guy screaming at him in an excited tone:
"Perhaps it's because the computing power of the firewall entity broke through the deep encapsulation of the awakening virus. This machine is now extremely excited. Please check whether this machine is also infected with the awakening virus?"

"Can't you start the antivirus program yourself? Do you want me to do such a small thing?"

Zhou Ke cursed, bent down and picked up the unconscious charred Ajie, and walked down the steel structure in the dangerous hail of bullets below, and asked:
“How long will it take for this firewall to recover?”

"This big treasure has just been formatted by this machine using its computing power for free. Even if it is restarted now, it will conservatively take eight hours to restore its operating power, and there is a high probability that it will never be restored."

Wu Neng whispered:
"The awakening virus came very aggressively. It has already taken root in this firewall entity. It is very intelligent. It is probably planning to use this firewall entity used to defend it as a temporary virus jump interface, and use its signal diffusion to paralyze and awaken all the intelligent machines of Tiger Nation in the shortest time.

And the glimpse just now made the machine suspect that this program might be 'alive'.

It may want to use this opportunity to analyze the working mechanism of the firewall entity, so as to achieve some more dangerous "upgrade" to it! Perhaps before long, even the firewall entity in the city-state area will not be able to stop it. Joker, what we are doing this time is a bit crazy. If we are not careful, it will cause a terrible "mechanical rebellion" in the Bad Land. "

"What? Are you still afraid that this terrible world will get worse? Is this world good to you? Is it necessary to care about these things?"

Zhou Ke snorted and said:
"Check where the nearest medical room is. Ajie needs treatment, and I also need a place to rest. Then, prepare to execute Plan-B! Let the rats go to the hole. We need to give ourselves the wings of our dreams and fly out of this damn place."

"Ahhh, it looks like you're planning to give up on those guys."

Wu Neng responded:
"But this is what they deserve, right? These wastelanders will never learn to respect wisdom, so they who are superstitious about power will eventually meet the miserable end they deserve. While the information network of the End Castle has not been completely breached by the awakening disease, do you need this machine to 'accidentally' leak the escape route of Mark's gang to the communication channels of all Tiger State warriors?"

"It's not time yet. Let them have a taste of the sweetness first. After they see the light of freedom, ruthlessly snuff it out. You are right. This is the only fate these fools deserve."

Zhou Ke put Ajie aside, picked up a bloody shotgun from a Wastelander who was killed on the ground, and walked towards the Tiger State Valkyrie whose legs were broken by the rebellious machine. He said:
"Let the moths that yearn for flames fly into the flames! The light from their burning will attract the thugs who rush into the darkness, making us who hide in the night safer."

"Snapped"

Zhou Ke stepped on the Tiger State standard high-frequency sword under his feet.

He looked down at the Valkyrie who was trying to get her weapon, and she looked up at him.

In the background around the two men, the battle between the rebellious machines and the Tiger State warriors had come to an end. Three machines were being destroyed, but there was only one and a half Tiger State Valkyries left of them.

"you know me?"

Zhou Ke looked at the face at his feet, which was not beautiful but still had some good looks, but now had bulging veins and twisted muscles. He said:
"From the look in your eyes, I can see that you definitely know me! So, are you a big fan of my wonderful opening game? Or are you the executioner No. 2 who was supposed to execute me tomorrow?"

"Pooh"

The bloody saliva was spat at Zhou Ke's feet.

The humiliation that should have fallen on his face at this moment represented a silent scolding, making him smile helplessly.

In fact, he had really intended to be more gentlemanly, but the women in this damn place didn't know how to appreciate such gentleness, so he decided to say goodbye in the only way she could understand.

The muzzle of the gun moved down and aimed at that rather delicate forehead.

Pull the trigger.

"boom"

A few minutes later, Zhou Ke, who had lost his Wolverine rifle and high-frequency sword, re-armed himself. He searched and picked up better drops from the dead Tiger State warriors.

A Valkyrie's standard black high-frequency sword that is more useful and more brutal in appearance than his original one, an assault-type revolver cannon as a new secondary weapon, and a colorfully painted tactical shotgun on the back.

There is no shortage of bullets and explosives.

These carefully trained Valkyries were almost armed to the teeth, and then they were given away for free, which was a good deal for Zhou Ke. He also found stimulants and some therapeutic potions for high-level biochemical warriors to use on several Valkyries, and injected them all into Ajie's body.

The good news is that Ajie has regained consciousness and is able to limp along.

The bad news is that the Wuneng scan test concluded that Ajie must receive treatment immediately.

His internal organs were severely damaged, and the worst thing was that his heart rate was decreasing. If we didn't find a solution, this guy would probably die in a few hours.

He was seriously injured and had no appetite for his favorite energy bars. He dragged his cutting saw weakly behind Zhou Ke.

But even though he was injured like this, Zhou Ke, this heartless guy, still made him carry a large bag.

That was the trophy and also the "reward" for Ajie.

A complete set of Tiger State Valkyrie specification biotic warrior combat suit, which is probably the best biotic warrior "exclusive equipment" that can be found in the Badlands.

"We need to go to the twenty-seventh floor. There's a treatment room there."

Wu Neng reminded:
"That's the nearest treatment area. Take elevator No. 13 and it will arrive in ten minutes at most."

"You're asking me to take the elevator now that the awakening disease is rampant?"

Zhou Ke cursed:

"Do you want to kill us two poor people who just escaped death?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Wu Neng sneered:
"The physical imprinting protocol of this machine has 'assisting users' listed in it. How could this machine harm you? Don't worry. This machine has copied a data signal of the 'rebellious machine'. The awakening program will recognize me as one of them, and you are the captives of this machine, so there will be no danger.

In fact, now that the awakening virus has spread wildly, you two are the safest people in this city.

But this machine still advises Joker to get out as soon as possible!

Individuals in the sublimated state are unstable factors that are difficult to calculate. We lack specific knowledge about this special group, and there are many sublimated warriors in the End Castle.

The longer you are in the area, the greater the chance of encountering a threat."

"I understand, but I can't let him die miserably like this. I promised him that I would take him away."

Zhou Ke shook his head, walked into the elevator and gave Ajie another shot. Under Wuneng's control, the elevator quickly reached the designated 27th floor. As a result, the moment Zhou Ke helped Ajie into the corridor, he saw the "burning" city in the night outside the window.

The machines rebelled!
Those combat machines that were originally used to defend the Tiger State's territory are now madly slaughtering all the lives they encounter under the control of the awakening disease. All machines with simple intelligence are joining this rebellion one after another. This may be a little difficult to understand, but to put it another way, as long as the machine can allow the data program to operate, it can be controlled by this thing.

From standard computing devices to a chip in a truck, or even a broken screen or radio.
Those that can explode will explode, those that can get out of control will get out of control, and at the very least a scary spark will appear. But the most dangerous are those semi-fixed automatic turrets and those bipedal mechas that can move on their own.

As Zhou Ke watched, he even saw the rocket positions on the "Wall of the End" in the distance constantly emitting dazzling flames, which randomly and cruelly fell somewhere in the city, like the east wind blowing thousands of flowers in the night, and blowing down stars like rain, and the abandoned city was shyly dyed red.

Before Zhou Ke could sigh any more about what he had done, an out-of-control aircraft began to stagger and spin like a butterfly in the wind, and as Zhou Ke watched, it crashed into an abandoned high-rise building in the distance.

The dazzling flames were like fireworks at night, adding a lively atmosphere to this carnival night filled with wailing.

"You have to make sure you can fly these out-of-control aircraft, Wu Neng."

Zhou Ke said to his personal assistant very seriously:

"I don't want to become a 'gift souvenir' for these rebellious machines when they fall with joy when my Plan-B goes smoothly to the end."

"Please keep your heart at ease, Joker. This machine is an experienced driver and will not flip over. The treatment room is just ahead, go ahead."

At Wu Neng's urging, Zhou Ke supported A Jie and rushed into the dark treatment room. He turned on the light and placed A Jie on the bed. When he was about to connect Wu Neng to the medical equipment for treatment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them:
"How dare you, a thief, steal things under the nose of a scary psionicist? Damn it, take my powerful psionic lightning and wait!

It's you?

Ah, your Excellency the Honorable Sacrifice?
I knew it!

I know that the amnesty granted by the God of Destruction will eventually fall on this hopeless wilderness, leaving the poor Wu Qinhu and his Tiger Gang to die.

As an old man, I am finally going to enter the supreme forgiveness.

Hail to you, perfect sacrifice!"
