Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 78 11. Let’s see the evil spirits of the evil land again! - More Updates [45]

(Additional update for the "Frostfang Claw" brothers [4/5])
For the next three hours, Zhou Ke and Wu Neng hid in the server room, and like mice that had stolen rice, they read the various records of the old civilization in the Panis family database eagerly.

It's honestly eye-opening.

38 years ago, the old civilization federation had begun to expand its exploration to the galaxy outside the solar system, and successfully established colonial outposts in neighboring galaxies. This showed that they had broken through the technology of lightspeed travel. This alone was enough for Zhou Ke to judge that the place he was in might not really be Earth.

A lot of things are similar, but it's not what the home in memory will look like in the future.

At least Zhou Ke had no confidence that those stupid guys in his hometown who were immersed in the war for oil could break through the speed of light travel in more than a hundred years of development.

In addition to interstellar travel, the old civilization also mastered a lot of advanced technologies. For example, in an entry about cutting-edge technology, he saw scientists' discussion about black holes.

That is not a theoretical conjecture. They have successfully launched a semi-permanent research vessel into the interior of a black hole.

There is also research on antimatter and multidimensional universe systems.

To be honest, most of them made Zhou Keru read the heavenly book, but there was a common conclusion, that is, the old civilization was really awesome.

The various black technologies that remain in the Badlands are no longer a drastic regression compared to 38 years ago. At most, they can be described as a group of primitive people picking up some garbage from the ruins of civilization.

"This machine judges that the ecological changes in the world caused by the fetal movement month may have locked up the development of science and technology, and caused some advanced technologies to become useless in the current surface world."

Wu Neng said in a serious tone:

"Psychic power has changed the physical rules of this world, making it impossible for civilization to be rebuilt smoothly. Otherwise, relying on the old civilization's already large-scale technology of converting carbon dioxide into starch and extracting helium-3 directly from seawater, they could still rebuild civilization in a short period of time even if only 0.1% of the population was left!

You know, according to these records, the old civilization's gene cloning technology has reached its peak. As the old civilization federation has already stored the human gene library in advance, if ethical restrictions are ignored, in just a few years, it can rely on cloning to reconstruct a new civilization with a population of over one billion.

However, nowadays, we have never heard of such technology, and the technology in the Badlands is obviously seriously regressing.

The technologies that could help civilization rise again have been locked away.

Even forgotten.”

"Well, is there a possibility that the data entries here have been 'processed'?"

Zhou Ke proposed another guess. He stroked his chin and said:

"Perhaps the Parnis family deliberately 'beautified' the records in order to gild the reputation of the old civilization?"

"Do you think this is possible?"

Wu Neng complained:
"Old Taf also said that he had personally witnessed the frantic launching of various aircrafts from the surface of the Earth a few months before the collapse of the old civilization. At that time, those powerful people were trying their best to escape from the surface of the Earth.

This cannot be faked.”

"That being said, I still find it hard to believe that a month of tire movement could cause such a powerful civilization to collapse and fall apart in just one year."

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"There must be some unrecorded tricks, such as how did the fetal movement month come about? It's impossible that the thing suddenly appeared one night without any signs, right? This is too sloppy."

"We'll have to wait until we find more evidence to verify our guess. The Panis family's database records more public information and does not contain any truly confidential documents. Perhaps there will be something similar in the records of the Acholi Consortium."

Wu Neng reminded:
"This machine will change the temporary read permission to permanent, and leave a backdoor, so that you can check the records of the Panis family through this machine without any obstacles later.

Now is the time to act!

According to the schedule, the aircraft operated by Moni and his team is approaching Fort Creed and will arrive at the laboratory cargo warehouse area in forty minutes and complete the transportation.

D-4 is here with you too. She will stay outside the park to meet you.

Now, get moving.”

"Ah."

Zhou Ke stood up, put on the assassin's mask again, and jumped into the spirit world. Following the action instructions given by Wu Neng, he headed towards the high-level material warehouse located underground.

However, just as Zhou Ke entered the underground test area, he heard a shrill alarm from outside. Several safety doors around him suddenly closed in an emergency state with flashing red lights, and a group of researchers in protective clothing ran out from the passage in front screaming.

"What the hell? I've been discovered already?"

His eyes widened, but then he realized that he was not discovered, but there was something wrong with the underground laboratory itself.

"Warning! There is a serious problem with Experiment T-894! Warning! The Experiment T-894 area is temporarily closed! Researchers please evacuate the area immediately according to instructions! The emergency plan is about to be activated and the elimination of organic matter is about to begin!
Researchers please evacuate immediately!"

"Fuck!"

Zhou Ke was startled, and the energy device on his arm also popped up a big "Run" word on the screen.

Not being able to communicate with Wu Neng while wearing the assassin's mask is really a big problem, but there is no need to be reminded now. When Zhou Ke saw several huge "light cannon" devices pop out from the emergency device, he knew that he had to leave immediately.

God knows what this "organic life elimination" is. If it releases black technology like the flesh-disintegration cannon, I'll be dead even if I have ten lives.

He turned around and whooshed through the closed security door behind him. Then he heard a loud bang and a burning feeling on his back pushed him out. When he landed, he rolled over to release the force and looked back. The alloy door behind him had already melted by half.

But the good news is that the researchers who escaped at this time were all huddled together in protective clothing, which was the best situation for them to fish in troubled waters.

Zhou Ke took off his assassin's mask and blended into the evacuation crowd without any obstacles. He also learned the truth of the matter from the complaints of others:
"I told you there was something wrong with that project! The damn supervisor is such an idiot. He forced us to debug it even though he knew our technology was not up to standard. Now, that idiot has gone crazy!"

A female researcher shuddered and cursed:
"It can't be destroyed by simple bullets or rays. The threat level of that thing is at least above A. It's really unlucky! I'm afraid this laboratory will be closed for a long time."

"Who says it's not true? If it's stolen technology, they should keep a low profile. How can there be such an aboveboard research that would risk our lives?"

"Well, I heard that it's not stolen technology. It seems that the group bought it at a high price. After all, it's impossible to hire a corporate spy to steal such a complete set of training materials, right?"

"Anyway, it's not a good thing! It has to be cultivated with concentrated psychic energy from the embryonic stage. This is not normal biological adjustment at all. I feel that it is more like cultivating some kind of high-level monster than a biological weapon."

"Shhhhh! You are risking your life to say such things! Shut up! If you don't want to live, don't drag us down with you."

These frightened researchers revealed a lot of information during their complaints. Although they were all minor details, they were enough for Zhou Ke to capture the key information.

And now there is a very annoying and realistic problem facing him.

"The high-level material warehouse is just ahead, but to get there you have to pass through this blocked test area."

Wu Neng used bone vibration to convey the message, and he said with some gloating:
"This machine says that you have very bad luck, and it is unlikely that your luck will improve in this lifetime. You must make a decision quickly. This machine has detected that several orders are being issued to various areas of the laboratory. They will soon block the entire park. By then, even if you get high-level materials, you will not be able to deliver them to the transportation area.

Moni will run away empty-handed, and according to the current situation, the people in the park will definitely transfer those high-level materials. If he can't get them this time, it will be even more difficult next time.

It’s more of a waste of time.”

"Then go through it. Ignoring the risks and continuing the visit is the attitude we should have."

Zhou Ke snorted and whispered:
"But if there is no risk at all, it's not my turn to do security work, right? A mere fatal threat is just my professional risk."

He found a place to put on his assassin's mask again and slipped into the completely blocked test area again. As a result, he saw several biochemical beasts wearing alloy armor being released from the laboratory.

These guys are obviously well-trained biological weapons, with a large canine appearance combined with a lot of "ruthless skills".

For example, there is a poisonous scorpion tail attached to the back of the dog's body, and there is a gem eye on its forehead that can release heat rays. The most important thing is that they maintain the group action unique to canines. After being released, they rush forward like a wolf pack hunting, and disappear from sight in the dissipating black smoke.

This scene is quite cool.

Zhou Ke blinked his eyes. He clearly saw those biological weapons jump from the material world into the "spiritual world", which was exactly the same as the process of his assassin mask taking effect.

"Hey, let's go together."

He was happy.

He was worried that he couldn't find the "special materials" to strengthen his assassin's mask, and the Panis family turned out to be good people, and they delivered it to his doorstep.

Zhou Ke carefully followed those stealthy biochemical wolfhounds, but just as he turned a corner, he heard the dogs' tragic cries.

They encountered the enemy, and it seemed that they were killed instantly. "The enemy's estimated strength has been adjusted to the latest progress. This machine advises retreat! Abandon the action immediately. There are unknown creatures ahead, and the threat is extremely high!"

This sentence popped up on the screen of the energy-comprehension device, but Zhou Ke ignored it.

Now that they have arrived here, they are only a few minutes away from the high-level material warehouse. They have to give it a try no matter what. He is approaching the front in the spiritual world. The spiritual creatures around him are all fleeing. They seem to have sensed the threat of the out-of-control experimental subject in front of them.

Zhou Ke quickly found several dismembered biochemical wolfhounds.

These big dogs died in a very tragic way. They were almost torn apart by the huge force and part of them were eaten. However, some "shadow power" could still be extracted from the remaining bodies to strengthen Zhou Ke's assassin mask.

Following the blood trail left by the wolfhounds, Zhou Ke determined that the out-of-control unknown creature ran in another direction, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. He moved forward to the high-level material warehouse in front. A few minutes later, he safely passed through the locked alloy door and entered the empty warehouse.

"Right here."

He took off his mask and heard Wu Neng's reminder:

"Containers 3, 7, and 19 contain the things you need. Find the console and connect this machine to it. It will arrange for them to be shipped out of the warehouse to the transportation area and will add them to the cargo list of Moni's spaceship."

"But there are more than a dozen containers here."

Zhou Ke looked around. Those large cubic containers were all under the strictest protection. They were advanced ecological boxes shaped as a whole. One could even see the small ecosystems inside through the translucent walls.

Certain high-level materials need to remain active in this way at all times, and once taken out they must be used quickly or they will become inactivated.

It's no wonder these things are so expensive. The storage conditions alone are so harsh that they are unimaginable, not to mention that this is the Badlands! Zhou Ke estimated that the value of these containers and the things stored in them would exceed the Slag Town that Old Joe had worked so hard to build all his life.

"We can't come here for nothing, right? Since we've taken such a big risk, there must be some reward."

He narrowed his eyes, connected Wu Neng to the console, and said:
“Ship them all out!
Modify the cargo information and notify Moni to be prepared. If any accident occurs, force your way through. This test area has been blocked and there is chaos outside. This means that the Panis Group cannot confirm the whereabouts of these high-level materials in a short time.

Although it was an accident, it was not a bad thing for us.”

“It’s risky, but you can try.”

Wu Neng reminded:
"The plan has been fine-tuned. The latest instructions have been sent to Moni. Discard the useless load on the aircraft and transport the high-value containers in one go."

"That's it! Maximize profits."

Zhou Ke laughed. After Wu Neng completed the moving instructions, the dozen or so containers in the warehouse in front of him were pushed to the transportation position by automatic machinery. The automatically executed transportation instructions would eventually mix them into the transportation area warehouse of the laboratory through a series of transfers, and finally be sent to the cargo aircraft controlled by Moni.

At the same time, even more shrill warning sounds had spread throughout the entire underground area.

Researchers were evacuating through safe passages everywhere. It seemed that they were aware of the huge threat posed by the mysterious "T-894" after it went out of control.

The chaos here has attracted the attention of the surface, and a large number of mechanical security personnel are being dispatched to the chaotic underground area.

But this has nothing to do with Zhou Ke anymore.

He needs to evacuate now.

But when he left the emptied high-level material library in the midst of a barrage of black smoke wrapped in an assassin's mask, he looked up and saw a huge rhinoceros-like biological weapon lying in front of him, and a strange creature resembling a sickle-clawed dragon and a mantis was lying on the body of the killed biological weapon and feasting on it.

The latter was covered in thick scales, and its wolf spider-like compound eyes glowed red in the dark.

But this is not the point.

The key point is that this guy's skin, which looks very tough, is wrapped with a faint khaki glow, which makes its movement create a strange "afterimage", and Zhou Ke can clearly feel a sense of "incongruity" when he sees it.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe specifically, as if this guy's style shouldn't have appeared in this scene full of technological creations.

"Unknown psychic unit! Abnormally strong energy! Danger! Run!"

Wuneng's text reminder turned red on the screen. Almost at the same time, the strange thing that was enjoying the "delicious" food turned around, and its bloodshot eyes accurately locked onto Zhou Ke's position.

"It can see me? Detect stealth?! This is fucking weird!"

Zhou Ke's heart tightened after encountering his first "stealth failure". At the moment when the monster howled and pounced on him, he pulled out the blade behind him, passed by the opponent, and slashed at the shadow warrior who summoned Ohm.

The good news was that its scales were no match for the sharpness of the psychic weapon and a small piece of its bone claw was smoothly chopped off.

The bad news was that Zhou Ke was severely whipped by the opponent's whip-like tail when they passed each other. The tail wrapped with a faint khaki glow scattered Ohm's shadow warriors and hit him in the spiritual world, pulling him back from the spiritual world to the material world.

The crow mask was cracked but not broken, but Zhou Ke knew that it was useless. When he stood up, he put on the madman's mask and planned to fight this strange thing.

But when he turned around, he saw a scene that stunned him.

The strange creature whose claws were chopped off stopped where it was, howling in pain, and the ochre-yellow fluorescent light around its body gathered and wrapped around its broken forelimbs.

It was like time was going back, and the chopped-off claws were restored to their original state.

This is definitely not self-healing!
"It can control time?"

Zhou Ke widened his eyes and took another look at the corpse of the biological weapon at his feet, which was twice the size of this guy. He finally understood how this strange thing in front of him, whose strength, speed and destructive power were not particularly strong, killed the powerful enemy.

"Joker, don't fight!"

Wu Neng screamed, and Zhou Ke could even hear the tension in the mechanical voice. He stretched his body, held the blade with both hands, and said:

"It's not a question of whether I want to or not. This guy obviously doesn't intend to let me go. It can detect 'stealth'. The crow mask is useless to him. But I have a not-so-good idea. Wu Neng, are there any other advanced biological weapons in this laboratory?"

"Yes! This machine has observed that there are 27 sealed large biological weapons samples in the seven-story structure of this underground test area. They are all the best works of the Creedburg Biological Laboratory. According to the Acholi Consortium's standards for judging monsters, their threat level is above A-level."

Wu Neng quickly replied, and Zhou Ke retreated cautiously while saying:

"Very good, release them all! I have 27 'good friends' who can play with this T-894 on my behalf.

They can't detect me, but they can see it!
Do I need to manually open these sealed biological weapons?"

"No, they are 'samples' hosted by the system. The machine has already executed the unlocking procedure and issued an evacuation warning, leaving a little 'trace' in the security network.

If the Panis family follows these traces, they will eventually find the information stamp of an outsourced hacker group working for the Weng Group after more than a hundred jumps.

This is the information that Weng Meiyu left behind when we exchanged information before, and it will come in handy right now."

Wu Neng completed Zhou Ke's instructions with super-fast execution. Zhou Ke was very satisfied with its "learning from one example and applying it to other situations". As the monster in front of him swooped over like a mantis, Zhou Ke, wearing a madman's mask, jumped back to distance himself, then turned around and ran wildly for Luda Oil, not forgetting to tease:

"Oh, this is a classic example of adding fuel to the fire, a quarrel between two parties. Wu Neng, you have learned bad things from me. I am really happy about it."

"Run to the right passage. There are biological weapons being released from cages over there. Lead them over there!"

Wu Neng was in no mood to respond to such praise. He screamed:
"This machine has observed that the abnormal energy of this 'unknown creature' has weakened a bit. Its manipulation of time to heal requires consumption of its own energy, but it cannot be truly killed before the energy is exhausted. Play hide-and-seek with it!"

"Understand!"

Zhou Ke maintained high-speed maneuvers with the help of the madman's mask. The monster behind him let out a shrill scream and chased him relentlessly. It seemed that this guy didn't have a very good brain and could only attack and rush violently without much combat intelligence.

The cunning uninvited guest quickly led it to the side of the pool where another octopus-shaped biological weapon with a threat level of A was located. When the tentacles wrapped in frost waved, Zhou Ke put on a crow mask and disappeared into the material world with a whoosh, causing the biological weapon to lose its target.

But the next second, T-894 rushed over with a roar, and was hit by the huge tentacles. The two dangerous creatures were entangled in this way, and this "beast chess" made Zhou Ke, who was hiding nearby, very excited.

"Send a message to Moni!"

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the strange "time creature" in front of him, and said to Wu Neng:

"Tell him to take the things and leave without waiting for me! But leave D-4 outside the Creedburg campus to meet me. I want to complete this hunt here. Hmm, the mysterious time. If I could also control the time, you know, as a heavy card drawing enthusiast, I really like this rare SSR mask that is refreshed in front of me.

Even though it's not in my hand yet, isn't that the fun of drawing cards? "
