Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 33 33. I didn’t expect you to be such a person, Abin!

"This guy still has some conscience. He actually knew to dig a grave for me. Although it feels strange, thank you anyway."

In an unknown area, Han Bin, who had just stood up from a mechanical biological cabin that looked extremely awesome, said in a low voice with a strange expression.

After he stood up, an octopus-like mechanical guard immediately floated forward to change his clothes, and at the same time pushed some sophisticated equipment to conduct a full-body examination on him.

Although he had proactively severed the connection with the "surface consciousness vehicle" and had not suffered a fatal mental attack, all of the perceptions of the bionic vehicle at the time of its death would still be projected into Han Bin's mind through the connection device.

Even for outstanding psychic masters, such "reflections of death" are still a psychological threat that cannot be ignored.

Han Bin did not refuse the service of the loyal machines. He cooperated and sat on the reclining chair of the medical machine, allowing the medical intelligent machine to complete various examinations for him. However, time is precious and cannot be wasted. Therefore, during the physical examination, Han Bin activated a special communication frequency band.

After waiting for several minutes, a holographic projection was projected from the projector on the top of the laboratory and landed right in front of Han Bin.

In the "weaving" of the entangled light, a slender but tall man like a bamboo pole appeared in front of him. The researcher uniform he wore was exactly the same as Han Bin's.

"Brother Han Bin? Why did you contact me suddenly? Did something happen in heaven? You see, I'm very busy now."

The guy who appeared in the holographic projection was indeed very busy. From the background, we could see that he was also in a laboratory, directing other researchers to do their work.

Unlike Han Bin's Asian face, the researcher who was called had a typical white appearance, with quite iconic short blond hair, a few freckles near his high nose bridge, and a very cold expression as if the whole world owed him money.

You can tell at first glance that he's a difficult guy to get along with.

"Have you observed an increase in the concentration of psychic energy on the surface?"

Han Bin didn't care about the other party's indifference. He said:

"The fetal movement moon will change tonight at the latest. Although it is unlikely to be the worst month for reproduction, I hope you can prepare in advance. The situation on the surface has been deteriorating. You should devote some energy to pay more attention to your compatriots who are suffering."

"This matter is not my responsibility. You should contact the person in charge of the Acholi Consortium on the surface, the pretentious young Acholi."

The latter said in a cold tone:
"By the way, warn him for me. It's his freedom to scheme against the directors of the consortium, but I don't want the organization's experiments to be affected by these stupid reasons. Because of his secret obstruction, the exploration of Time Labyrinth No. 11 has not made any progress so far. This alone is enough to ruin all his goodwill with me."

"Roger, my talented junior brother, don't do this!"

Han Bin persuaded helplessly:

"I know you are devoted to research, but the Acholi Foundation and the Flash Organization are one and the same. You can't always separate the two. Without the support of the Foundation, the Flash researchers' beautiful ideas cannot be transformed into actual research results."

"That's enough! Brother Han Bin, did you activate the encrypted communication between Eden and the surface, wasting precious energy just to talk to me about these boring topics?"

The researcher named "Roger" interrupted Han Bin's chattering rudely and scolded:
"It seems that you, as the Archon of the Garden of Eden for so long, have been tainted with too much stale political atmosphere and are no longer the pure scholar that I admire. I said, I am very busy now! If there is nothing important, then..."

"I found 'him'."

Han Bin shook his head and said bluntly:
"The individual who has a strong connection with the Time Labyrinth No. 11 that you have been following. It was an accident that caused me to lose a precious surface consciousness vehicle, but I still contacted you as soon as possible. Therefore, Roger, be patient."

"he?"

Roger said in surprise:

"You mean, it was a man? How is that possible? According to the information we gathered from Takahashi's relics, before the core of Labyrinth No. 11 collapsed, the important visitor that place received should be a 'lady'.

are you sure?

This is not a joke, Brother Han Bin.

This is something we are doing without telling our mentor. If anything goes wrong, both of us will be implicated."

"Don't be afraid. The mentor won't care about these little things now. He is obsessed with his goal. Otherwise, our junior brother Gao Qiao wouldn't have had the chance to make that stupid choice, which almost ruined everything we have been trying so hard to maintain."

Han Bin sighed and said:

"I don't know what went wrong. I can't even tell his identity, but I'm sure he has the Enlightenment. Although it's not the same as the Heavy Enlightenment we've seen before.

Now it is a bit too 'pocket'.

I communicated with it!

Unfortunately, Lord Wuneng's four-dimensional database was locked, causing it to retain its high intelligence but be completely ignorant of its mission, as if the terrifying mechanical powers it should have possessed had been formatted.

But it is convinced that it does have a "mission".

You know, the comprehension device is a super-intelligent assistant specially made by Mr. Wood for 'that lady'. Now it appears on a wastelander with a mysterious origin. No matter what the reason is, at present, when the No. 11 time maze cannot be explored in depth, we must grasp this only clue.

I am informing you of this news so that you can immediately send a capable operator to the Badlands to bring that 'Mr.' back to the base in the City-State area.

You communicate with him first.

If necessary, I will choose the time to go there myself."

"I'll send someone right away."

Roger, who was very impatient just now, said very seriously:
"But as you said, the concentration of psychic energy on the surface is soaring, which means that our operators have to risk being corrupted and alienated to pursue the Excellency who is most likely using a false identity. I hope that you left us clear guidance signals during your brief contact with him."

"Of course."

Han Bin said:

"His weapons, protective gear, and vehicles were all gifted by me. Using the tracking program left by Takahashi and the weather satellite of the Garden of Eden, we can accurately capture his movement. I have opened the satellite access to your laboratory.

Bring him back as soon as possible, Roger.

That guy is a genius at making trouble!

He easily angered Wu Qinhu and the entire Tiger State in a way that we could hardly imagine. With Tiger King's style of doing things, you probably have to race against time. And I have no doubt that with his overly peculiar style of doing things, it is only a matter of time before he offends more people!
It's up to you to find him and protect him before he's hacked to pieces by the angry Avengers."

"Time? Haha, time is the friend of the Shunguang Organization. Brother, I will complete your instructions as soon as possible."

Roger replied:
"Let me confirm one last time. Are you sure that the instructor won't suddenly appear and interfere with our operations?"

"will not."

Han Bin said with a complicated expression:

"You have been away from the Garden of Eden for too long. You cannot understand what happened in this boring and stale place. I have not seen my mentor for several months. I cannot even understand what he is thinking and researching at the moment.

But what I am sure of is that he has gotten into a dangerous dilemma.

Dr. Acholi, who was once extremely wise, has now become a destabilizing factor that makes people tremble with fear.

The most terrifying thing is that as his disciples we are completely unable to stop him.

So get this done quickly, Roger.

What 'the lady' left behind may very well be the only tool we have to save the day in a worst-case scenario.

If the guy who just dug my grave is really related to that lady, then continuing to let him wander around without knowing the secrets hidden under history is a waste of our, the world's and his precious time.

Ah, time, the most generous thing, the most stingy thing. "

"I understand. You should take a rest first. Don't overwork yourself before the influence of the death experience given by the consciousness carrier disappears. Do you need me to send you some medical supplies? I made them myself. They are much better than those quacks in the Garden of Eden." Roger asked. Han Bin smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"No need, I know my body, you go ahead and do your work, I have to go accompany my daughter, this trip will take too long.

Oh, by the way, there may be a 'Parker' from the Castle of the End who will apply for the selection of servants in the Garden of Eden this time. Remember to pay attention to him. If there is no problem with his background, he will be selected first."

"Don't you hate backdoor dealings? What benefit did Parker give you?"

Roger asked curiously, Han Bin shrugged and said:

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been so lucky to 'encounter' Mr. Zhou Ke. From this point of view, we should all thank Secretary Parker who may have messed up something and was eager to change jobs."

After saying that, he waved goodbye and ended the communication. A few minutes later, after the intelligent medical assistant confirmed that he was in good health, he stood up and slowly walked out of his laboratory wearing the same researcher uniform that never changed.

The moment you push open the door, you'll see a high balcony, from which you can clearly overlook the entire inner ring of the Eden Space Station.

Towering skyscrapers, bustling modern cities, busy streets, and even hovercrafts traveling in the air in a standard order. In the simulated gravity environment brought about by the rotating structure of the space station, the city built in the huge building in outer space perfectly retains all the beauty of the old civilization.

Even the air is filled with an intoxicating sweetness
This is not some vulgar metaphor but a realistic description. The fragrance is the smell of the additive in the air filter of the space station.

Han Bin stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the city he managed. With his excellent eyesight, he could see that a luxurious and lively party was being held on the top of a building not far away. Handsome men and beautiful women, most of whom were over 90 years old, were holding champagne and walking around the swimming pool dotted with flower petals, enjoying the warm sunshine brought by the simulated sun.

There was no special emotion in Han Bin's eyes, but this rich and peaceful city reminded him of the Castle of the End that he had just visited.
It is really hard to imagine that these two cities, like heaven and hell, could belong to the same civilization at the same time.

But it really happened.

So, there must be something wrong with the way this world works.

However, even Han Bin, with his genius wisdom, could not think of the answer. When he looked up, he caught a glimpse of a huge seven-story ring structure belonging to the space station outside the glass. There were similar buildings there, which could be likened to the "satellite city" of this Garden of Eden, and the staff and servants selected from the surface lived there.

Although the quality of life is not as good as in the Garden of Eden, at least here one does not have to worry about the demons from the Badlands, the dangerous Fetal Moon, and the monsters hiding in the shadows. When the surface has fallen, being able to enter this "city in the sky" and calling it "paradise" is not an exaggeration for those surface people.

At certain moments, even Han Bin himself felt that these "people in heaven" and the people on the earth were no longer the same species.

Alas, what a sad isolation.

Just as the free bird envies the caged bird that has no worries about food and clothing, just as people outside want to come in, people inside will occasionally go crazy and want to get out.

Han Bin withdrew his gaze, turned around and boarded the hovercraft floating beside the balcony.

He returned to his home a few minutes later, and when he opened the door, he saw the familiar figure dozing in the warm garden.

The archon smiled helplessly, walked forward, took off his coat and covered his daughter's legs, then pushed the wheelchair and took her back home without waking her up. However, the sudden pain in his mind made Han Bin couldn't help but hum, and he still woke up his girl.

The young girl in the wheelchair looked up in surprise and saw her father's apologetic expression.

"Wow, you're back from the Bad Land, Dad. Tell me the stories there! Do the legendary wastelanders really shoot each other with guns when they disagree with each other?"

"Well, it's pretty close but not that crazy, but I did meet a very interesting Wastelander this time. You'd never guess that after I saved him, the guy almost shot me as a thank you.

But he and you miraculously agree on the same thing.

That means your dad is really not suitable to be an actor.

It’s really clumsy.”

"Reporting to the commander, we have tracked the signal. The other party has activated electromagnetic interference so that the location cannot be accurately determined to the individual, but tracking the moving interference area can still achieve fuzzy positioning. He is currently moving towards the territory of Snake State along the deserted Trak Corridor, but he changed direction several times along the way, so the destination should not be Snake State."

In a laboratory in the city-state area, the researcher who was operating the equipment reported to Roger who was standing next to him:
"We have notified Operator Team 7 to prepare to set off, but according to the latest report from the weather satellite, due to the surge in surface psychic concentration, a huge psychic storm will descend on the Badlands in a few hours, and the high probability of changes in the fetal moon tonight will trigger a series of unknown consequences.

In the worst case scenario, we will not be able to continuously track the target via Eden’s weather satellite.

Therefore, I suggest that we should act immediately! Before the lunar phase of the fetal movement month changes, capture the target and bring him back to the city-state area. "

"Well, that's a very safe consideration."

Roger stared at the flashing red dot on the screen in front of him and said:
"Let's do it this way. Let Team 7 be equipped with the best weapons and aircraft. Don't waste time and set off immediately! But when capturing the target, non-lethal weapons must be used. Radical strategies can be adopted when necessary, but the bottom line is that the target cannot be killed.

It doesn't matter if he loses an arm or a leg, we have plenty of ways to heal him."

"understand!"

The operator responded, moving his hands on the contactless operating panel, ready to issue instructions.

But at this moment, a wisp of snow interference suddenly appeared on the high-definition projection screen in front of them due to poor contact. Under the astonished gaze of Roger and other researchers, the entire program that had just been tracking Zhou Ke's signal completely collapsed within a few seconds.

Capital red 404 error reports popped up one after another, covering the entire tracking room in an instant, and even activating the laboratory's security measures.

Amid the shrill warning, the fire extinguisher was suddenly opened, and clouds of fire-extinguishing foam fell from the sky, drenching Roger and his researchers who were caught off guard.

"Restart! Quick!"

Roger, who had severe mysophobia, let out a scream like he was killing a Kun, and then roared with his eyes twitching.

But no matter how hard the researchers tried, the crashed program would not respond, forcing them to adopt the "ultimate solution."

Unplug the power supply and restart the device!
The good news is that this ancient repair wisdom is still feasible in the wasteland age. After a few minutes, the device that was put back online seemed to have returned to normal. A series of programs were started one after another, the safety devices in the laboratory were turned off, and the harsh warning sound stopped.

However, the bad news is that when the entire expensive device was restarted, the researchers discovered to their despair that their local database had been completely formatted.

The tracking program also failed to start due to the lack of necessary data components.

What's worse is that after reconnecting with the weather satellite of the Garden of Eden, no signal information of Zhou Ke could be found after scanning the entire Badlands.

"The tracking signal was covered. No, the tracking program was destroyed in front of us, making it impossible for us to capture it."

The black-haired researcher with black-framed glasses pushed up his glasses and muttered to himself:
"It's hard to imagine, what on earth has invaded us just now? With the computing power level of this laboratory, even in the old civilization era, there is no such thing as being able to instantly defeat our firewall and format the database.
That thing is physically encrypted!"

"Who else? Use your brains, my apprentices."

The indifferent Roger wiped the sticky fire extinguisher from his hair and whispered:

"The rebellious machines entrenched in Rust Castle!
Only they have the technology in this area. The Awakening Virus has just attacked the Castle of the End. Perhaps they took this opportunity to figure out the operating rules of the firewall entity and remotely connect to our laboratory host. However, this attack that can cause the system to crash instantly must be a vulnerability buried in advance, ready to give us a fatal blow at the critical moment.

But now he is being used in advance because of this 'Zhou Ke'. There is no doubt that those evil machines that betrayed their creators are 'protecting' him!

Well, as expected of an incident involving 'that lady', there are terrible accidents happening everywhere.

Where is the last positioning signal? "

"Northeast of the Amtrak Corridor."

The operator immediately responded:

"But considering the target's speed, even the most elite operators won't be able to find the target in a short time if they only rely on visual search without precise positioning, and the night is getting closer. Maybe we shouldn't take the risk?"

"Wrong! Now is the time to take risks. I don't want to give this key clue to those rebellious machines!"

Roger said in a deep voice:
"Send out operators, double the number, select psionicist operators to accompany them, and give them the best supplies and weapons! Capture Zhou Ke at all costs!"

"Yes!"
