Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 84 17. This incident taught us that we should never take the blame for something that is not our fault

"Shit! There's no way to aim! That damn robot is too fast."

At the long-range shooting position, Moni emptied three bullets in a row, causing him to curse angrily:
"Is this horse fucking useless? I clearly calculated the lead time, that bullet should be able to hit it!"

"It's not your fault, Moni. You are a very good shooter, even among the wastelanders. But the omnic codenamed 'Sam' has activated electromagnetic disturbances, and your smart sight can't provide you with accurate enough shooting assistance.

This machine recommends that you use the most original machine aiming like Joker! "

Wu Neng screamed:
"When these intelligent machines with built-in electromagnetic interference are fighting, all intelligent targeting protocols will be disrupted. Don't trust them!"

"Aiming? Hitting a high-speed moving target at this distance? Are you kidding me?"

Moni broke off the smart sight and cursed:

“Is this really something a human can do?”

"boom"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ke next to him fired a shot.

Under Moni's astonished gaze, Sam, who had just rushed into the sky in the raging fire to carry out ground bombing, lost his balance like a bird with broken wings. A ball of fire burst out from his leg thruster, which was obviously hit by the accelerated scandium alloy armor-piercing high-explosive bomb that hit the thruster core.

"Huh? What did you just say?"

While Zhou Ke pulled the bolt to eject the thumb-thick shell, he glanced at the stunned Moni and said jokingly:

"Yeah, how difficult can it be to use a machine gun to shoot at a high-speed moving target at a distance of 700 meters?"

"Fuck you, I get it, you're cheating with that ghost mask of yours, right?"

Moni is worthy of being Moni, he has a useful brain and guessed the truth immediately.

He didn't need to use a sniper rifle anymore. He threw the thing into the car, opened the door, rushed out, took out a military-grade rocket from the trunk, picked it up, and cursed at Zhou Ke:

"Fuck, a hacker has installed one on me, use your hack! Watch me use heavy firepower to kill that stupid robot!"

"Shit! No, the guidance of that thing will also be disturbed."

Before Wu Neng could finish his warning, Moni pulled the trigger.

With a whoosh sound, the black spiked rocket flew towards the burning forest battlefield ahead. However, when the fierce rocket approached the battlefield where two high-speed moving intelligent machines were located, it began to perform irregular Brownian motion in the air like a drunk.

A second later, the fire suppression type intelligent machine that rushed into the air relying on the thrusters on its back grabbed the rocket that was flying around like a headless fly, and with a cool and impressive accelerated spin in the air, threw the thing back towards Zhou Ke.

"I! Chao!"

"R! P! G!"

Moni and Zhou Ke both let out a long scream at the same time.

Just before the rocket hit, Moni rolled and crawled into the car and welded the door shut. Zhou Ke also returned to the car and closed the roof.
"boom"

The violent explosion caused the new car to jump several meters on the spot, and then it smashed heavily to the ground. However, apart from the regrettable distortion of the external armor and spider-web cracks on the car windows, the three people in the car were miraculously unharmed.

"Luckily I got this car in advance, otherwise I would have to explain it now. You are such a loser!"

Zhou Ke punched and kicked Moni in the back seat, and the latter could only hold his head and endure it without daring to say anything back. It was indeed his wrong decision this time.

"Ajie! Get your weapons! Charge!"

After Zhou Ke beat Moni, he decided to continue fighting.

After realizing that long-range support was useless, he simply grabbed the short spear and reaper at hand, kicked open the car door, and rushed towards the burning forest in front with Ajie carrying the mechanical spear.

There's a reason why he's working so hard.

In Wuneng's real-time battlefield calculations, D-4's winning rate has dropped from 55% to a precarious 30%.

"There's a big problem with that fire suppression omnic!"

Wu Neng shouted on Zhou Ke’s arm:
"Its power plant, reconnaissance equipment, battlefield decision-making, electromagnetic interference pulse, and mobility mode have all been greatly enhanced compared to D-4's previous description! This doesn't look like an intelligent machine that is subdivided into fire suppression types. Instead, it looks like a hexagonal warrior with no shortcomings.

Someone must have done some awesome body enhancement for it.

D-4 is not fighting Sam, now she is fighting the entire security team! This battle was unfair from the beginning, it was the one who cheated first, so don't blame us for intervening.

fast!
Find the sniper position, Joker!

Eliminate its mobility and force it into close combat with the D-4 on the ground. That is the only combat mode where it is not at an advantage, and also the subject where the D-4 has an advantage.

After it falls down, let Ajie rush over to help. This machine is cracking its firewall to cause it some trouble.

Don’t think it’s unethical!
In this situation, we had to fight four against one to barely turn the situation around numerically."

"You don't have to give me any psychological preparation. I never care about any bullshit martial ethics!"

Zhou Ke picked a good position and fired from his kneeling position, opening the short assault rifle in his hand, adjusted it to the most convenient semi-automatic mode, and with the assistance of the sharpshooter mode of the hunter mask, fired several shots in succession, blowing up the thrusters on Sam's right leg at close range, but the opponent still had thrusters on his back and hands available.

After realizing the threat posed by Zhou Ke, it used its chest cannon to blast away the oncoming D-4, and then pounced towards Zhou Ke.

But Ajie, who is always reliable at critical moments, would never let it get close to his "owner". When Sam dodged a series of bullets shot by Zhou Ke and flew low, Ajie suddenly jumped up and swung the mechanical spear at Sam, hitting him on the chest armor. The force was so great that the robot staggered and fell out.

Although Ajie was also very fierce before, his explosive power was obviously not to this level. It seems that Weng Mingyue was not exaggerating when he promised to give Ajie a series of enhancements.

That guy's technical ability is very good.

"Tangle it! Give me some windows to shoot!"

Zhou Ke yelled something while changing the magazine, which Ajie naturally didn't understand, but this didn't stop him from becoming furious and relying on the excellent combat instincts of the biochemical warrior to frantically destroy Sam's weapon bay in close combat.

The mechanical spear in his hand is a psychic weapon. Although its quality is lower, its sharpness is beyond reproach.

When Sam used bombing mode to break free from Ajie's entanglement, three of its weapon bays had been destroyed, and dazzling electric sparks continued to emerge from its left arm, indicating that its body was damaged.

It flew down towards Zhou Ke, and the shoulder cannon that popped out from its shoulder fired ammunition first, blocking Zhou Ke's retreat route. Seeing the fire rising behind him, Zhou Ke only had time to change his mask, and the next second Sam approached and grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"Execution protocol. Execute!"

"click"

Zhou Ke's neck was easily broken by the five mechanical fingers.

This is normal.

He had just undergone Weng Mingyue's strengthening surgery yesterday. Although it also strengthened bone strength and density, it would take time for this to take effect.

When D-4, who had just rushed out of the flames, saw Zhou Ke's body hit the ground, his eyes turned red.

Once again, she lost the one she served, and once again, she watched the one she had to protect die before her eyes.

If it was just an ordinary machine, it would be fine, but D-4 was now infected with the awakening virus. Her mechanical emotions went out of control in an instant, and the mental firewall that Wu Neng had written for her was broken through to the third layer in a short period of time.

Previously, he felt guilty towards Sam because of Professor Josna's death, but at this moment, D-4's heart was filled with only a burning fire of anger.

There is no need to even ask Wuneng to turn on the overclocking mode. During the rapid activation of the awakening virus, the overclocking mode will turn on automatically!
The screaming D-4 turned into a ghost in an instant and pounced on Sam's back. The interlaced single-molecular mechanical blades swept across its former friend like a storm of slashing. In just a few seconds of close combat, Sam's back armor was completely removed.

D-4 even brutally pulled out the dorsal thrusters with his fingers, and before the explosion, he slapped Sam in the face.

With a loud bang, both robots were sent flying.

In the raging fire left at the spot, Zhou Ke went back to the previous state in the ochre-colored quicksand light, rubbing his intact neck while looking at D-4 who had entered "berserk mode" in shock.

"Is this the 'Enrage' buff?"

Zhou Ke picked up his weapon from the ground and couldn't help but complain:

"How about I rush over and fight her every time before the fight starts, so as to strengthen D-4's combat power. Look how fierce she is now."

"What the hell! The awakening virus in her body is activating. You lunatic, hurry up and end the battle, or this machine will not be able to keep her intellectual spark pure."

Wu Neng cursed:

"It seems that you are not the only one who has special feelings for D-4. In her heart, your position is not just a simple servant. Tsk tsk, what kind of damn 'unending love between man and machine' is this? And that lousy mask of yours! This machine knows that you are taking this opportunity to test the efficacy of the 'time mask', but please don't play around with it, your intracranial pressure is rising again!
This thing can also gather spiritual energy?"

"Well, it's more than just a gathering of spiritual energy."

Zhou Ke felt the SSR-level super rare new mask on his face that kept changing like quicksand.

When he put on this mask, he seemed to have returned to the spiritual world perception brought by the assassin's mask in a trance. This thing could not allow him to walk in the spiritual world, but as the "weapon" in Zhou Ke's hand that was most closely integrated with psychic power, the ability that the time mask brought to Zhou Ke was definitely not just a simple way to go back in time and resurrect.

Zhou Ke closed his eyes and felt the "brand new" world in his eyes.

Even though Weng Mingyue had injected him with an inhibitor that had made the psychic organs in his brain dull and prevented them from growing rapidly, at this moment he could still clearly feel the abundant psychic energy flowing in the air around him.

He stretched out his left hand again, using the mystical knowledge that had been "endowed" before, and actively attracted the scattered spiritual energy to gather it into a ball in his hand. He then pressed it against the blade of the shearing blade and slashed it hard. The next moment, the blade of the shearing blade transformed into an "enchanted state" while absorbing the spiritual energy.

The snow-white blade turned gray, as if it was wrapped in the sands of time.

"then!"

Zhou Ke threw the temporarily enchanted blade towards D-4 not far away.

When D-4 saw Zhou Ke “resurrected with full health”, the whole robot was stunned.

At this moment, her thought process even entered a state of self-doubt. Was it because of her out-of-control emotions that caused her to see the "hallucination"?
But the blade thrown at him proved that this was not an illusion.

The server Zhou Ke is still alive, and his second mission has not failed!
An indescribable feeling of joy and fear surged through D-4's mind, causing her to seem to lose her violent strength for a moment. However, the stronger desire to protect that arose afterwards made her move forward instead of retreating.

He rushed forward and suppressed Sam's struggle with his left hand, and stepped forward with the enchanted blade in his right hand. The fatal piercing effect in close combat allowed the blade to pierce Sam's energy core located in the spine of his abdomen.

This time, the blade enchanted by time also had the "side effects" unique to time psychic energy. When D-4 drew his blade and retreated, Sam's energy core seemed to have weathered after being tempered by time in an instant, causing its energy to be lost at a rate ten times faster than normal.

Accelerated/aging!
This is the second ability that the Time Mask brings to Zhou Ke, and it is also the unique effect of Time Psychic Power.

Sam already felt that he was about to be defeated after these successive attacks. The robot who had proactively requested a duel unethically activated the last of his dual thrusters to prepare to flee from here. His only remaining weapons bay launched a final round of bombing to cover his escape.

But just as he took off, a low gunshot was heard from not far away.

This bullet is the most deadly!

A shot blew up the thruster on Sam's left arm, causing it to lose balance immediately and crash into the burning forest and fall into the flames.

Moni, who was on the outskirts of the battlefield, made a very arrogant victory gesture to Zhou Ke at this moment, and the anti-material heavy sniper rifle in his hand was still emitting smoke.

Hey, isn’t it just using a machine aim to shoot at a high-speed moving target?
How hard can this be?

Sam, who fell into the flames, was still struggling to get up, but just as he regained his balance, he saw D-4 holding a scissor blade jumping over the flames, falling into him at an accelerated speed in the air, and the scissor blade in his hand mercilessly pierced Sam's head armor and destroyed his movement center.

This was a fatal blow.

After being hit hard multiple times, the fire suppression type intelligent machine finally fell to the ground and twitched in place like a human.

D-4 stood up, looked at Sam helplessly, then looked at her burnt dress, stretched out her hands and tore off her tattered coat, revealing her seductive body in black underwear.

It has to be said that the advanced psychic protective skin she is using now is indeed tougher than the ordinary skin before. Except for a few burnt places, D-4's body still remains basically intact. Finally, she does not need to change her appearance after every battle.

"Here! Put it on."

Zhou Ke, who came over with Ajie, took off his coat and threw it to D-4, whose underwear was exposed. The latter put on the coat obediently, but stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Ke from approaching Sam, who was unable to move.

she says:

"All security-related intelligent machines have self-destruct modules. Maybe it has one."

"It doesn't have a self-destruct module, D-4. The area that houses the self-destruct module has been replaced with a battlefield perception and reconnaissance module that doesn't belong to its serial number."

Wu Neng responded after a close-range scan. It said seriously:
“In addition, the serial numbers of Sam’s power system, decision-making module, and camouflage module do not belong to it, but are classified under the same security serial number. The melee module on you also belongs to this serial number.

So, if my guess is correct, the source of Sam's enhanced combat power is."

"I actually guessed it."

D-4 sighed, walked barefoot to Sam's side, squatted down and looked at her former friend, and said:

"Your camouflage and reconnaissance modules come from Awen, your power system and defense modules come from Mona, and your battlefield decision-making and high-speed reaction core comes from Black Jim. I originally thought that you suddenly became 'smart' because you got Captain Ikaros's advanced logic circuit.

But now I think that this replaced logic circuit came from Star, who is responsible for making tactical plans and the first responders in unexpected situations among us.

Right?

The rest of the security team is here except for myself and Captain Ikaros.

You are not just Sam, you are all five of them combined!
So, they're all dead?"

"I'm dead too, D-4."

Sam's voice module was destroyed, and he could only respond intermittently with the most primitive mechanical sound:

"Star is the last one among us to survive. She knows that she is not a combat omnic. Facing the pursuit of the Flash Organization, she will not live long enough to find the truth. So, she made this difficult decision.

She brought our remains into the master's abandoned old workshop. She sacrificed herself and used the still functioning assembly equipment in the workshop to reassemble our most advantageous ability modules, using me as the carrier to reshape 'us'.

D-4, you are lucky
On that day, after Master Qiaosna left the city, her home was invaded, all details related to her were erased, and we who were responsible for security were annihilated.

No.
You didn't kill her!

Master Qiao Si Na knew long ago that she would not be able to come back alive. It was a planned "death journey" and your awakening was just an accident. But compared to the original ending, perhaps dying in your hands would be a relief for the master.

She has always regarded you as her daughter.
Ivy, you are her daughter!"

"This is wrong!"

D-4 was unable to accept the "truth" behind this truth for a moment. She covered her head and said:
"You mean, this is all a conspiracy? I'm just a part of it? No, what is going on?"

"I'm more curious about your behavior at this moment than the truth, Sam."

Zhou Ke squatted down and looked at the miserable robot in front of him. He lit a cigarette for himself and asked:
"You asked D-4 out to get her melee module to give you the final boost, right? Why did you do that?"

"For... revenge!"

Sam said intermittently:

"Revenge the traitor! Ikaros. She betrayed us and Master Qiaosna. Before going offline, Star left the conclusions she had drawn to the new me.

From the very beginning, Ikaros was a spy of the Flash Organization ambushing next to Master Josna. It was she who passed the fatal information to the Flash Organization that Master Josna was secretly studying the "taboo" and she had touched the edge of the truth, so she had to be killed to ensure that the "truth" would not be revealed.

Star
Ah, my North Star."

"and many more!"

Wu Neng suddenly screamed:
"This guy's emotional data is wrong! He is not infected with the awakening virus! But he obviously has a part of 'self-awareness'! He actually understands love and sadness? He has completed the intelligence upgrade without touching the Rust Castle!
Blanch!
This machine is fucking screwed again!"

"It was Master Qiaosna. In the last upgrade she made for us before she left, she left a special code, which was activated after her death.

we
We suddenly understood things that we couldn't understand before, but before we could enjoy that feeling, the killers, led by Ikaros, broke in. "

Sam answered the last question.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly and said to D-4:
"It turns out that you are more suitable to be an 'Avenger' than me, Ivy. After I die, take the enhanced components in my body and put the will of all of us on you! Find the traitor Ikaros and kill her!

If possible, find out the truth about the murder of Qiaosna's master and avenge her.

Well, I really envy you.

The first emotion you encounter after 'birth' is protection and acceptance, and the first thing we learn is hatred and pain.
it's a pity.
Sorry, Ivy.

I didn’t mean it.”

D-4 wants to hold that hand.

But before she could reach out, Sam's arm, which was sparking with electricity, fell to the ground. In the dead silence, Wu Neng said with regret:
"Security Guard 'Sam' has been shut down and is offline. He has finally put down the heavy burden he was carrying and can enjoy peace with his Star."
