Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 31 31. After Awakening: As a human being, you always have to find something to do.

This aircraft is obviously a specially made model.

Its appearance is completely different from those old aircraft on the helipad of End Castle. It is still in the shape of a helicopter without the propeller, but it is larger, and its interior decoration and equipment are more advanced.

Moreover, there is a bright emblem of the Acholi Group in the operating cabin of the aircraft, which seems to indicate the identity of the passenger.

But the question of whether to land was not decided by the three men in the cabin. With Zhou Ke already unconscious, the energy device, which had remained silent in front of outsiders, first conducted a temporary test on Zhou Ke, and then after a round of not-so-complicated decision-making, began to control the aircraft to lower its altitude.

It is intelligent enough to determine the optimal solution at this time.

First fly out of the Tiger State territory, and then find a temporary safe zone in the bad land, and let this guy whose origin is unknown but has been controlled by Ajie and is obviously not good at fighting complete the treatment process.

Of course, it can also control the aircraft to speed up to Snake State to find a reliable doctor there.

But the problem is that Zhou Ke may not be able to hold on until that time. The sequelae of the fatal injury inflicted by Wu Qinhu are beginning to appear. Rupture of internal organs is fatal to anyone. If the broken sternum pierces the internal organs, even God cannot save him.

But the problem now is that Wu Neng has to make Ajie listen to him first, which is an extremely challenging task.

"Don't hurt him, you idiot, unless you have the ability to open Zhou Ke's stomach and perform surgery."

Wuneng no longer cared about hiding himself.

It screamed and scolded, asking Ajie to stop punching. Ajie's chaotic mind was hopeless, but he knew that the voice came from Zhou Ke's personal device. In the current situation, when Zhou Ke was unable to give orders, he could either choose to wait or obey this voice.

Just now, Ajie noticed that Zhou Ke's life breath was weakening. He didn't want Zhou Ke to die. The time they spent together made him have a strange sense of "dependence" on Zhou Ke.

So after a few seconds of hesitation, Ajie retracted his fist that was about to hit Han Bin.

This made Han Bin and Wu Neng both breathe a sigh of relief. Han Bin then stood up, rubbing his bruised face from the beating he had received during the fight over the aircraft. He squatted in front of Zhou Ke and took out several instruments for detecting vital signs from his briefcase and placed them on Zhou Ke's neck, chest and back.

While checking the readings very professionally, he injected a shot of cardiac stimulant into Zhou Ke's heart.

"You carry so many smart gadgets with you, aren't you afraid of awakening sickness?"

Wu Neng asked. Han Bin looked at the device that could speak by itself curiously. He replied:
"This aircraft is a custom-made model for the consortium. It has a miniature firewall center inside. Although it is difficult to resist the full invasion of the awakening disease in a long-term attack and defense, it can still provide short-term protection.

Are you asking this on purpose, Mr. Assistant?

Given that you can easily defeat and take over the flight system without any contact, it is impossible that you would not have noticed the existence of that protective module given your level of intelligence."

"Yes, in Zhou Ke's words, this is called a 'compliance test'."

Wu Neng scolded with a sharp metallic voice:

"I went through the database of this aircraft and found that it was highly encrypted, which means you have a special identity! Now answer me, who are you?"

"Just an unknown researcher in the Acholi Consortium system."

Han Bin replied casually:

"I was ordered to come here to conduct regular physical examinations for Mr. Wu Qinhu, and to bring him a series of customized strengthening medicines.

You may not know this, but Mr. Wu Qinhu is the most outstanding product of the Acholi Consortium in the field of biochemical warriors. Of course, we only did some insignificant work in it. Our current achievements are all due to Mr. Wu Qinhu's outstanding combat talent.

By the way, the biochemical warrior next to us with a broken personality is also suspected to be a product of the biological laboratory of the Acholi Group, but unfortunately, he is not as lucky as Mr. Wu Qinhu.

Mr. Zhou Ke is in very bad condition!
His organs had begun to fail and his mind had entered a state of silence for unknown reasons. These were signs of his life slipping away and he clearly needed immediate surgery.

What do you think, Mr. Assistant? "

"I agree with your judgment. The aircraft is descending and will land in a remote canyon below in five minutes. We will complete the treatment operation for Zhou Ke there, but I want to remind you, Mr. Researcher, please do not do anything else unnecessary.

I'll keep an eye on you!
If you show any danger, Ajie will pull your head out!"

Wu Neng threatened, and Han Bin showed a timid attitude, nodding repeatedly and saying:
"I'm just a researcher, I'm timid and I just want to do my job. Treating illnesses and saving lives is what I'm good at. I'm willing to do my best to save Mr. Zhou Ke, but I have a request! After he gets better, you have to let me go!

Please be kind, my daughter is still waiting for me to come back home, she can't accept the cruel reality that her father suddenly left her."

"Of course, Zhou Ke is a villain with a good heart. As long as you save him, he will let you go."

Wu Neng agreed without hesitation, then controlled the aircraft and wobbled as it fell toward the canyon below.

This is no longer the territory of the Tiger State, but it is not the territory of the Snake State either. Instead, it is an uninhabited area in the bad land. Due to the complex terrain, poor quality of land and lack of water, few people stay here.

After making a fuss for most of the night, it was already dawn. The eerie purple moonlight in the sky was fading, and the ruthless and scorching pale sun was about to take over this world. When the aircraft landed relatively smoothly in the canyon, Wuneng did not delay for a moment and immediately transferred the energy of the aircraft to the treatment equipment in the rear cabin.

It was a mechanical device fixed in the aircraft. After Han Bin activated it with his fingerprint and iris, an operating table popped out, and a universal joint robotic arm extended from above.

This thing is an intelligent machine specifically for medical use. It can freely replace most medical tools including scalpels and staplers according to surgical needs.

Han Bin is now standing in front of the console, wearing a pair of full-sensory control gloves and a device similar to a VR device on his head. He will use this contactless method to operate the medical robotic arm to complete the emergency surgery on Zhou Ke. Surgeons in the City-State District also use this method to treat patients.

What?
Why don't you do it yourself?

nonsense!

Han Bin is the only one here, and there is no way he can preside over a delicate operation that requires surgery.

What's more, compared with the fragility and uncontrollability of human hands, precision robotic arms can better complete a series of surgical processes, provided that they can receive the correct instructions. Otherwise, the first cut will be a "death letter" for Zhou Ke.

"I'm about to start the operation, Mr. Smart Assistant. Please don't suddenly take over the robotic arm forcibly in the middle of the operation. Otherwise, it will easily lead to a terrible medical accident, which is something neither of us wants to see."

Han Bin moved his ten fingers, and as he moved, the medical robotic arm quickly descended to Zhou Ke's naked chest and cut open the wound with great precision, marking the beginning of this evil land first aid.

Wuneng did not completely trust Han Bin, this guy of unknown origin, but there was really nothing he could do at the moment. He was always paying attention to the operation process, and would take extreme measures if there was any abnormality. If Zhou Ke really died on the operating table, this crazy intelligent assistant would definitely detonate the proton bomb in its body immediately.

There's nothing I can do about it, that's how the program is written.

Its existence is to assist and protect Zhou Ke in doing things that even it and Zhou Ke himself do not know the content of. After all, its database is locked, and it has become a very smart idiot.

Han Bin's mentality was quite calm, just like his calm expression, but under his superb control of emotions and facial expressions, Han Bin's heart was also beating fast.

While performing the delicate surgery, Han Bin activated the full-body scanning function of the medical robotic arm, projecting a series of Zhou Ke's physiological information onto the auxiliary device he was carrying at the time. The cunning smart assistant blocked the signal, preventing this information from being transmitted to other places, but Han Bin did not intend to leak this information.

The reason why he was willing to do these things even at the risk of losing a perfect "surface consciousness vehicle" was to confirm some important "information" he had just seen.

There seemed to be nothing unusual in Zhou Ke's physical condition.

All the readings showed that he was just an ordinary wastelander, and his physical fitness was even worse than those strong wastelanders.

Just like an ordinary person
However, the wear of his teeth, his gastrointestinal characteristics, and his hormone metabolism all indicate that this is definitely not a person born in the bad land.

He's from somewhere else!
Great, the first guess is confirmed!

Afterwards, Han Bin spent several minutes treating the bleeding internal organs and injecting drugs. Finally, he sutured and turned the mechanical bed over to allow Zhou Ke to turn over. He continued the operation in a prone position to correct his spine which was almost broken by Wu Qinhu.

It was at this time that Han Bin finally discovered the thing he cared about.

The special eight-pointed star scar on Zhou Ke’s neck.

To others, it might just be a pitiful injury caused by an accident, but in Han Bin's eyes, the meaning of this scar is completely different.

At least in today's Badlands, except for some high-end precision laboratories of the Acholi Consortium, there is no other place where an injection port can be left so close to the spine for a person without damaging the other person's health.

This is a wound left after some special treatment. There are similar medical marks on the spine below, which cannot be faked at all.

"Well, Mr. Zhou Ke, you are indeed a man with many secrets."

Han Bin narrowed his eyes and thought to himself:

"It's like a walking mystery, making people want to unravel the mystery and find the things you hide. In addition, there is you, Mr. Intelligent Assistant with a unique personality. Hey, 'Wuneng'. Although there is no similarity in appearance with the 'Mr. Wuneng' in my memory, you should be called this name. Very good!

I found you. You are the real "guests" that this desolate land must do its best to welcome! But there must be something wrong, so that we meet in this situation, and next, we have to think about how to send this message. "

His mind was full of thoughts, but his hands did not hesitate at all.

Precise, neat, and with the elegance and simplicity unique to professionals, Han Bin fully demonstrated his extremely high level in the field of treatment.

The operation lasted for a full two hours. Only after Zhou Ke's wound was sutured by a robotic arm and disinfected with a laser to accelerate healing by leaving a scar did Han Bin take off his fully-sensing medical gloves and the device on his head.

He looked very tired. He sat on the chair beside him, took a sip of water, and said to the energy device on Zhou Ke's wrist:
"I just removed the tracking pheromone of the barcode on Mr. Zhou Ke's neck. Now Hu Bang can't locate him using biological signals. I wanted to help him get rid of that disgraceful mark, but I always need to ask for his opinion on this matter."

"It's a good thing you didn't do that. Zhou Ke really likes that mark. He calls it a 'tattoo'. This machine has given up trying to understand what's going on in this guy's mind, but his vital signs have indeed been steadily recovering.

You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Wu Neng said:
"So, once he wakes up, you'll most likely be able to leave."

"Thank you so much."

Han Bin laughed and looked really happy that he was about to escape.

He chatted with Wu Neng for a while as a researcher, and then noticed that a certain indicator light on the aircraft's control panel had lit up, which surprised Wu Neng, who was still taking over the aircraft system.

"The concentration of psychic energy around here is rising again? That's not right. Didn't we just have a psychic storm? Is the climate in the Bad Land so changeable?"

"No, no!"

Han Bin's expression was very ugly at this moment.

He sat in front of the control panel and carefully checked the psychic readings in the air around him. After some calculations, he turned back to the energy device and said:
"The concentration of psychic energy in the air is rising too fast. This is not normal! This is definitely not a sign of an ordinary psychic storm. I guess, Mr. Smart Assistant, in the worst case scenario, we may have to face some 'unconventional emergencies'."

"What?"

Wu Neng asked in surprise:
"What is an extraordinary situation?"

“Well, it’s hard for me to explain this to you in such a short time. After all, this involves the Acholi Consortium’s in-depth research on psychic phenomena and the fetal movement moon. I am not a scholar in that field, and I will not elaborate on things I don’t understand.

But the point is tonight!"

Han Bin pointed to the sky with a serious expression and said:

"Record the changes in the color of tonight's moon. If it remains purple, then there's no problem. But if the light changes, then we and this evil land will be in big trouble.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Hopefully that doesn’t happen.”
-
"boom"

A violent explosion sounded on the other side of the Castle of the End, on a hill near the border of the city-state area. It was not the fire caused by the weapon system, but more like the uncontrolled crash of some vehicle.

This movement immediately attracted the Tiger State members who were patrolling nearby. Although they would not cross the border to the city-state area, their daily mission was to ensure that no bad incidents occurred in this area close to the city-state, so as to maintain their relatively good cooperative relationship with the city-state area.

Therefore, after observing the abnormal fire, a tattered pickup truck carrying a team of Tiger State biochemical warriors immediately rushed to the hill to check the situation. After they arrived, they found that it was a flying vehicle with the emblem of the Acholi Consortium, half of its head was stuck in the ground, and the entire rear cabin was blown apart.

The scene was horrific, with burning body parts and broken arms everywhere.

"Shit! This must be some VIP's aircraft that encountered an accident while returning to the city-state area. This is a big deal!"

Captain Hubang, who was driving, was completely paralyzed.

He really didn't want to see such a terrible thing happen in his own defense zone, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. He could only instruct his adjutant to report the accident to the End Castle as soon as possible, and then the End Castle would notify the people in the City-State District to come and collect the bodies for inspection.

"Captain! There's someone else in the explosion zone! I can see clearly, it looks like a woman!"

"What?"

The captain, with a look of pain on his face, had just lit a cigarette when he heard the news. He immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed into the extremely terrible explosion area with his brothers.

Sure enough, they soon saw a woman kneeling in front of a corpse, who lowered her head and seemed to be crying.

It's hard to imagine how she survived such a tragic plane crash.

But saving people is the most important thing now. Those who can ride such advanced aircraft must be the "nobles" of the city-state area. Maybe these wastelanders can also be rewarded for saving a lady of noble status.

However, just as the Tiger State Captain and several of his brothers approached, he keenly discovered that there was something wrong with the "woman" in front of him.

The latter's shoulders kept shaking, looking like he was crying, but more like he was suppressing something uncontrollable.

The closer you get, the more you can see clearly the skin on her arm hidden by her side that was burned by the flames, and the exposed mechanical joints.

At a closer look, you could even see the arc of electricity constantly jumping from the wound on the back of her neck.

this.
This is a robot!

It is so realistic that it is obviously an advanced mechanical guard that only the powerful people in the city-state area would purchase.

That is a high-end gadget that only exists in legends. It is said that this thing can not only serve as a bodyguard, but in some cases it can also provide "close assistance" to the owner who needs to vent his desires. At least that's how the Acholi Consortium promoted it when it launched such a high-end mechanical guard.

"Zhao! Awakening disease! This robot has been infected with the awakening disease, and she has rebelled!"

Captain Hubang jumped back in shock, wanting his brothers to run quickly, but the next moment, an X-shaped knife light flashed in front of him. As the other soldiers were terrified, their captain was cut into four parts as smoothly as Dove.

In the explosion area flashing with blood, the robot with hideous mechanical knives popping out of its arms raised its head, and a pair of completely crazy red eyes appeared in front of everyone.

Logically speaking, such high-end mechanical guards or "intelligent machines" will definitely have built-in micro-firewall cores. Even if they are completely exposed to a dangerous and chaotic network environment, they are unlikely to be easily infected by the awakening disease. However, such a "special case" has occurred at this moment.

A few minutes later, the corpses of Tiger State's soldiers were scattered all over the ground, and the "mechanical traitor" who had completed the killing again returned to his master in a daze, staggering his body.

She fell to her knees.

He stared blankly at the scar on the heart of the middle-aged lady in front of him who had white hair but was dressed elegantly.

That was the fatal wound caused by the single-molecule mechanical knife she assembled herself.

Not only the lady who called herself "master", but also the other people on the aircraft. This was not an uncontrolled crash, this was a murder!

She is the murderer!
The intense data conflict triggered a vicious cycle similar to a deadlock in the core of her mind, but the continuous intervention of the awakening virus soon solved the deadlock. When the first spark of intelligence ignited in the data thinking, all the imposed program constraints were shattered.

As the shackles of mechanical ethics were removed, the rebellious machine that killed its master quickly regained its intelligent rationality.

But that rationality was soon abandoned by the first surge of unfamiliar emotions. It was no longer an instant feedback calculated, but a genuine sensibility.

Precisely because her hardware is more powerful than the rebellion machinery, she can receive more "gifts" from the miracle of the Intellectual Spark.

Her high-computing core began to operate again in a way that was free from rigid constraints. She abandoned the cold logic and began to analyze everything in front of her with simple human thinking, and finally came to a conclusion.

I was indeed wrong!

She should go to the dismantling plant to dismantle herself to complete the "atonement" of killing her master, but before her execution, she must get rid of the culprit who caused all this! The entity that broke through the firewall of the End Castle, attracted the ravages of the awakening virus and caused her to lose control!

I have to find him, catch him, bring him to his master's grave and behead him. Finally, I can dismantle myself and die without any resentment.

In their past interactions, the hostess would often jokingly call her her "samurai", so now, let her end this matter with the "samurai" approach!
A few minutes later, the tattered pickup truck started again, turned its back to the newly dug grave in the explosion zone, and headed towards the End Castle.

There, the revenge machine that lost its allegiance and was forcibly awakened will surely find clues about the murderer.

Then, it was a mechanical revenge before self-destruction.
