Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 79 12. Sacrifice a Crow Mask to summon our Enchanted Blade! - [55]

(Additional update for the "Frostfang Claw" brothers [5/5])
The bio-modulation technology of the Panis Group is truly amazing. Perhaps it is due to the technological background of the old civilization, which enables them to master quite unique genetic modification technology.

In addition to its medical applications, this thing is also very suitable for making biological weapons.

According to Moni, the biological weapons produced by the Panis Group will be deployed to the military forces of the Acholi Consortium to assist military units in carrying out some dangerous operations and assist in daily patrols on the border of the Badlands.

In fact, in terms of cost, it is obviously more cost-effective to use mechanical units to complete these tasks, but there is no other way, because there is such an exaggerated thing as "awakening disease" in the Badlands. In a sense, the current Badlands technology cannot be effectively used, and this damn data virus has to take the blame.

In a situation where machines could rebel at any time, the use of biological weapons becomes a helpless move for those in power.

"What number is this?"

Zhou Ke had already run to the sixth underground floor of the Creedburg Biological Laboratory. He hid in a safe area in a wretched manner, watching the cruel scene below where the damned monster ripped open the insect-like biological weapon, and asked in a low voice:
"Is this guy so fierce? I feel like he can even fight against Ohm."

"Be more confident, Ohm will definitely not be able to outlast it!"

Wu Neng said calmly:

"The 'immortality' this thing gains through time conversion is too outrageous, but other than that, its destructive power and speed are not as good as the Sublimator, so Ohm will definitely not be able to catch up with it even if he wants to run.

The genetic debugging of this thing should not be completed yet, it is just a "semi-finished product". According to the machine's estimation, the next stage of genetic debugging will be to strengthen its destructive power and tactical thinking, and maybe even add a rather disgusting term like "biological self-healing".

This guy has currently killed eight elite biological weapons of equal threat level without any harm himself.

Moreover, it is very good at converting food and energy. It can restore its energy simply by devouring flesh and blood. Apart from its poor brain and excessive irritability, it has almost no obvious shortcomings.

fast!
Keep tempting it!
Don't let it eat to restore the blue bar!

Excessive energy consumption in a short period of time made its conversion time slower and slower, and it couldn't bear it if it happened twice more.

But there is bad news, Zhou Ke, the mechanical security of the Panis Group has entered the test area, and they seem to be planning to retrieve this guy, you have to kill it before they arrive."

"It's a little tricky."

Zhou Ke complained:
"With my current level, I'm afraid I'll be killed in one move. No matter how you look at it, the overall strength of this monster has reached the level of an ascender."

"Then take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack!"

Wu Neng suggested:
"There's a biological weapon wandering in the passage ahead. Lure it over there, and when the two are fighting, find the right opportunity to give it a hard blow.

It can certainly regenerate, but once it runs out of energy, it's not as threatening as you think."

“Well, you are indeed an old six, and you are well versed in the essence of old six’s tactics.”

Zhou Ke grabbed the short spear behind him and fired a bullet with his shoulder. The bullet had strong penetrating power and made several blood spots on the scales of the monster, making it howl and drop its food and rush over again.

It can sense Zhou Ke in stealth mode, but it has no way to enter the spirit world and has no means of long-range attack, so it can only chase Zhou Ke who keeps shooting. The man and the beast chase each other in the passage with flashing red warnings. Every time this guy is about to pounce, Old Merck or Uncle Ohm who jumps out of the shadows will give it a good time.

The Shadow Warrior is pretty weak right now and can be shattered by one claw from this guy, but Merck's Paralyzing Lightning or Ohm's Blade Piercing can slow it down.

"boom"

In a flirtatious turn and shot, Zhou Ke, wearing a metal hunter mask, delivered a "critical hit". The sharpshooter state allowed the flying bullet to pierce the eyes of the monster behind, and the spurting blood looked extremely exciting.

But it's of no use.

The other party used "time reversal" to heal his eyes again, and the pain made it even more ferocious.

"Ahead! Prepare to jump into the spirit world, the machine is about to open, be careful!"

Wu Neng roared.

At the moment when Zhou Ke put on the crow mask and jumped into the spirit world, the tightly closed door of the passage in front of him suddenly opened, and a red and majestic python rushed out from the opposite passage, and wrapped up the strange thing that pounced on it like a black shadow, and then launched a death stranglehold to strangle the thing to death.

This elite biological weapon, which looks quite good, can also spit fire. As the crystal-like scales on the python's back light up, scorching flames spurt out from its mouth, burning the monster all over its head, making it scream in pain. The claws, as thick as a mantis's forelimbs, scratched frantically, tearing the python's scales.

It seemed to have encountered a natural enemy that completely restrained it. In front of the more agile python, its expertise in pouncing and tearing was useless.

Not to mention that there is Zhou Ke who is eyeing him covetously next to him.

Zhou Ke, who was hiding in the spirit world, drew out his scimitar and stared at his target like the deadliest assassin. He looked at the two biological weapons entangled with each other, and then discovered details that he had not noticed before.

Any creature in the material world will be covered with a shadow-like "particle effect" in the spiritual world, and their shapes will become gray and white, symbolizing their incompatibility with the spiritual world, but this strange thing in front of him that can manipulate time is different.

Its "projection" in the spiritual world is not grayish white, but a unique ochre-colored ball of light wrapped around the heart of the body.

That means this strange creature can be entangled with the mysterious spiritual world, which is probably why it can sense Zhou Ke walking in the spiritual world.

From this point, we can judge that the thing in front of us is definitely not a simple flesh and blood creature!
God knows what methods the researchers of the Panis Group used to create it, but judging from the strange situation that other biological weapons would start a fight to the death when they saw it, it obviously has some more mysterious "identity".

Zhou Ke tiptoed towards the area where the two dangerous creatures were fighting. He found the right opportunity, aimed at the yellow "ball of light" in the body of the strange creature and stabbed it.

The blade was sharp enough, but the attack missed.

Zhou Ke could clearly feel the resistance of the sharp blade piercing into the flesh, but he failed to hit the yellow ball of light inside the monster's body. On the contrary, the sharp blade seemed to hit a shadow, passing through the ball of light but failing to hurt the thing.

"puff"

The strange creature fought back frantically because its heart was pierced, and swung its tail to hit Zhou Ke again. This time it was a desperate blow, causing Zhou Ke to spit out blood when he landed.

My internal organs were almost twitching together.

He was panting, but did not give up and planned to launch a second sneak attack.

The target is still the yellow ball of light that can be clearly captured in the spiritual world. Zhou Ke’s combat experience is not rich, but he believes that this thing is definitely the fatal weakness of the creature in front of him.

But pure physical attacks cannot hurt this weakness, so.
"Do you need to use psychic attacks to 'fight fire with fire'?"

Zhou Ke narrowed his eyes.

Weng Mingyue clearly told him that psychic organs had already been generated in his brain. Theoretically, he could sense and use psychic energy, but he had not yet developed to that stage.

But Zhou Ke has "cheating methods".

The assassin's mask in his hand allows him to escape into the spirit world and see things that only psychics can see in a clairvoyant state, so the mask itself can also be regarded as Zhou Ke's "external psychic organ."

Since it has special effects in this area, it can naturally be used in a more proactive way.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ke reached out and took off the crow mask to let him escape from the spiritual world. Then he held the mask and slashed it hard on the sharp blade, destroying his own mask on his own initiative for the first time.

As the crow mask wrapped in black smoke shattered under the cutting of the sharp blade, the energy contained in the mask wanted to return to Zhou Ke's body but was dispersed by him reaching out his hand.

Those light spots soon floated in Zhou Ke's hands and turned into dark black smoke and began to dissipate. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of the shattered and dissipated black smoke-like psychic mist. At this moment, many strange "myths" immediately emerged in Zhou Ke's mind, as if these unabsorbed psychic energies were actively "teaching" Zhou Ke how to use them correctly.

It was a very strange feeling.

It's a wonderful feeling that "knowledge automatically flows into my brain".

Just like a sponge absorbing water, it even has a mysterious temptation, making Zhou Ke want to learn more from the "gift" of spiritual energy.
This is probably what Weng Mingyue mentioned before, that novice psychics will be involuntarily immersed in the pursuit of psychic power. The gift of mysticism is like an addiction and can satisfy all spiritual hunger.

Zhou Ke almost became addicted.

But he quickly put on the metal mask and forced himself to calm down from that strange "learning" state.

He used the "knowledge" he had just learned to grasp the dissipated psychic energy, pressed the dark energy that only he could see onto the sharp blade and gently wiped it. The light spots then penetrated into the psychic weapon.

Just like the state when Ohm held the knife, the bright blade quickly turned dark after the spiritual energy penetrated into it, making it temporarily enter the "enchanted" state.

"Ha! My weapon glows, how cool! Now!"

Zhou Ke strode forward, and at the same time as the bruised monster bit off the python's neck, he jumped behind it. While the monster was struggling, he summoned Old Merck to launch a paralyzing lightning strike, and then during the paralysis period of T-894, he struck again at the heart where he had just pierced it.

The dark psychic blade cut into the flesh smoothly. This time, when it pierced the heart of the monster, Zhou Ke clearly heard the sound of something breaking.

Very light, but real!
It was like a glass ball being shattered by a naughty child, and then ochre-colored spots of light burst out from the wound of the monster in an explosive manner.

In front of Zhou Ke who was blown to the ground, a unique new mask was formed amid the tragic screams of the monster.

That thing had no fixed shape, as if it were made of quicksand, and its appearance was changing all the time, but it was still a mask, with two eye holes but no mouth.

Zhou Ke grinned, knowing that his adventure was successful. He leaned on his knife and picked up the thing, but he didn't put it on in a hurry. Instead, he swung the knife at the weak strange thing a few times, completely killing it and digging open the heart. Ten seconds later, Zhou Ke took out a very strange thing from the heart of this guy.

It's like a mixture of a flesh and blood heart and some kind of precision instrument.

It looked a bit disgusting, and the precision instrument had been damaged by the sharp blade, like a broken hourglass.

"This is obviously not something that occurs naturally, it is something man-made."

Zhou Ke sat cross-legged beside the corpses of the two monsters, carefully observing the "heart core". He said to Wu Neng:
"Weng Mingyue will definitely be interested in this thing. Maybe we have accidentally discovered the big secret of the Panis Group."

"Congratulations, then."

There was no joy in Wu Neng's tone, and he reminded:
"But you just took the initiative to destroy your 'Assassin' mask, right? Now please tell me how you plan to escape from the hands of those Panis mechanical security guards who are about to come over?"

"Good question. I plan to kill them all and walk out like that!"

Zhou Ke rolled his eyes and retorted:

"Mechanics is your domain, and you're asking me now? Why don't you quickly disrupt their signals and clear a path for me to evacuate?"

"I just want to advise you that it would be better to have a backup plan before taking such an adventure next time."

Wu Neng complained unhappily.

It was very dissatisfied with Zhou Ke's adventurous behavior, but Zhou Ke coughed and stroked Wu Neng's screen, saying in a flattering manner:
"Backup plan? Aren't you my backup plan that works in any situation?"

"Hmph, this machine is too lazy to clean up your mess. This is the last billionth time. I won't do it again! Why don't you lie down quickly and pretend to be an injured researcher? This machine will have to mobilize its massive computing power and control a mechanical security guard to send you out.

Ah, what an unexpected disaster! The computing power of this machine is very precious, do you understand?"

A few minutes later, Zhou Ke, wearing protective clothing, was carried out of the blocked test area by a Panis mechanical security guard.

There is a complete curfew outside. Military-grade mechanical guards and some fully armed soldiers have set up a temporary command post here. The group leaders of the park are standing there in cold sweats, looking extremely anxious and embarrassed.

Such a big thing happened in the laboratory. Even with the most conservative estimate, the future of these guys is doomed. If they are not so lucky, there will probably be a few more lonely graves outside Creedburg.

"Test subject T-894 has been confirmed dead. Before it died, it hunted and killed at least nine Class A elite biological weapons. Its body is currently being recovered, and the remaining out-of-control biological weapons are also being processed.

Judging from the results alone, the combat effectiveness of the T-894 project test body has reached 75%-80% of the design indicators. We can basically judge that this experiment has been successful.
Uh, I don't mean to shirk my responsibility, sir. I'm just speaking the truth. Okay, okay, I'll take care of the aftermath. What?
Would you like to come in person?

I don't think it's necessary, it's very dangerous here with all the chaos and fighting going on."

When Zhou Ke was sent to the medical vehicle, he happened to meet a guy who looked like a leader who was making a phone report next to him.

I couldn't hear the voice from the other side clearly, but from the expression on his face, I knew that it was definitely not a compliment or praise. After being scolded, the guy turned around with a gloomy face and looked at Zhou Ke in the medical car. He stepped forward and scolded:
"You witnessed the death of T-894? Tell me, what happened there?"

"cough cough"

Zhou Ke coughed a few times.

His current weakness was not pretended. He had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood by that strange thing before, and he had actively destroyed the assassin's mask and learned some "metaphysical knowledge" in the process of mobilizing psychic energy. It seemed that this had stimulated the psychic organs in his brain, causing afterimages to appear when Zhou Ke saw things.

For example, now he sees three "leaders" in front of him questioning him.

"Wuneng, go!"

He said something.

The park leader in front of him was still wondering what this sentence meant. The mechanical security guard next to him immediately grabbed the guy's collar under Wuneng's control and threw him into the medical car. Then he closed the door, took the car, and quickly left the chaotic front-line command center, rushing towards the park gate.

"I'll ask you an answer."

Zhou Ke endured the pain in his head and grabbed the gun, and said to the Panis officer in front of him:

"What exactly is the T-894 project going to create? The time travel of that thing should not be an ability that can be created by ordinary biotechnology, right?"

"It's you!"

The latter faced the gun without fear.

He immediately understood the whole story and shouted:

"You are the one who caused today's chaos? Tell me! Were you sent by the Weng Group to seek revenge?"

"I'm asking you now, sir."

Zhou Ke raised his hand and hit the guy with the butt of his gun, causing him to fall into the car with blood gushing out. Then the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against his head, and he finally regained some of his senses.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a hoarse voice:

"That is a high-tech scientific research project, a biological weapon developed to cooperate with the Acholi Consortium's recent in-depth exploration of the occupied areas. You have seen our outstanding achievements with your own eyes, and I am not afraid to tell you that the various abilities possessed by T-894 are specially developed to target the dangerous monsters in the Time Maze.

It will become the new generation of monster killer!
When this super weapon is mass-produced, our soldiers will be able to take back the occupied land under its leadership. Don't you believe it?

You think the Panis Group wouldn't do such a good thing?
Haha, stupid!
The first founder of the Panis Group died during an expedition to the occupied areas. We have never given up our desire to investigate and seize the occupied areas. The monsters created by the Fetal Moon destroyed the old civilization, but also revealed the direction of life's evolution. We have already grasped that evolutionary trend."

"He was stalling for time and trying to use the communication device on his brain to call for help, but the machine blocked the signal."

Wu Neng reminded:
"This guy is dishonest! Shoot him to wake him up!"

"Don't be so violent, Wu Neng. Shooting here will cause us trouble."

Zhou Ke shook his head, picked up the razor beside him as the man in front of him breathed a sigh of relief, and stabbed it into his thigh. The man screamed in pain, but Zhou Ke stuffed a bloody glove into his mouth to muffle his cries.

"Now, I ask you questions and you answer them! Please realize the situation you are facing, and I will advise you that the secrets belong to the Panis Group, but your life is your own!"

He took out the "Broken Heart Core" he had brought with him, pointed at it, and said to the middle-level officer of Panis who was sweating profusely:

"Tell me the truth, where did you get this device that can control time?"

The car quickly drove out of the park and stopped in an alley in the city of Creedburg, which was under martial law. Zhou Ke, with a sallow face, kicked open the back compartment of the medical vehicle, staggered down, and his legs went weak. Before he fell, he was supported by D-4 who rushed out to support him.

He looked up and saw D-4's worried expression. He shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and glanced at the dead guy in the car behind him.

This is not Zhou Ke's doing.
The opponent's brain device went out of control, causing his head to explode, and he died miserably, all because he had just told a secret, and certain keywords in the secret triggered this "death mechanism".

"The Panis family has collaborated with the Flash Organization"

Zhou Ke was helped into the car by D-4. When the car started, he whispered to D-4:
"T-894 is a biological technology developed by the Flash Organization and them. The purpose is to mass-produce biological weapons that can manipulate time and use them to explore the dangerous inner ring of the No. 11 Time Maze. Tell Weng Meiyu this news!
Her boss, who dislikes the Shining Organization, will definitely be interested."

"I think you need therapy more now, Boss."

D-4 drove out of the city at the fastest speed. She whispered:
"Get some sleep. I'll get you back to the doctor safely."

"Well, I'll leave the rest to you."

Zhou Ke closed his eyes in the back seat and fell asleep in a second.

Then he saw the ghostly illusion again. It was still the confrontation between the black sun and the pale light corona, and there was still a quiet and beautiful sea of stars protecting him.

But he didn't know if it was an illusion. In the illusion, Zhou Ke saw that the spreading shadow of the black sun seemed to overwhelm the corona of light, and even strange black stripes appeared in the cold halo.

This seemed to be some kind of mysterious sign, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand it yet.

"Fort Creed is under martial law, D-4."

Wu Neng reminded:
"It may not be that easy for you to take Joker away."

"I know."

D-4, who was driving, looked at the guard post in front of her expressionlessly. She reached out and grabbed two kinetic pistols from the passenger seat and said:

"Please help me unlock the overclocking permissions and help me suppress the invasion of the awakening virus, Lord Wuneng. I carry enough weapons to deal with the next battle. The control of the vehicle is left to you."

"Overclocking protocol has been activated. This machine has also corrected the long-range search mode for you. Don't fight, D-4."

"Protecting Mr. Zhou Ke to return to the base safely and receive treatment is my top priority at the moment. You don't have to worry about my action pattern. Now, the battle begins!"
