Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 92 25. The wild Acholi Psionicist has refreshed, Master Ball, throw it!

Wuneng's return is good news. Although this guy's data entity is severely damaged and is currently in a "weak dog" state, with his assistance, Zhou Ke and D-4 can finally let go and fight the pursuers.

"click"

With the assistance of D-4, a deterrent six-barrel heavy machine gun was fixed on the roof of the car. Zhou Ke also put on a metal hunter mask and entered the sharpshooter state. The moment the aircraft behind entered the shooting range, a volley of bullets swept over and sparks appeared on the engine of the opponent's aircraft.

Such accurate and deadly shooting forced the opponent to increase distance and break contact.

"There's a complicated terrain on the outskirts of the city ahead. D-4, get off there and use the terrain to deal with the pursuers as much as possible. This machine and Joker need to switch vehicles."

Wu Neng reminded the two in the carriage:

"This aircraft has updated its data masking. They can't rely on its signals to track us. As long as we get rid of these three aircraft, we will be safe."

"Safe? You wish."

Zhou Ke complained:
"Don't you think about how the Flash Organization set a trap for you? We were discovered even though we were not exposed before. This is enough to prove that they have a second method to confirm our location besides data tracking.

Getting rid of these pursuers is only temporary safety. I seriously suspect that this thing must be related to some strange psychic means.

That's not your area of expertise.

We should still go outside the city to join Moni. At least there is support there. If the enemy has the means to track us, it would be too dangerous to stay in the city."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Wuneng had no time to argue with Zhou Ke at the moment. He drove the car at high speed into the edge of the city ahead, which was actually a civilian area. The buildings here were generally old and of varying heights, which was indeed a complex urban environment. The streets were also full of fireworks, which was completely different from the atmosphere of the flat commercial areas within the Third Ring Road.

"D-4, start the action! Wait for the news. If you can't contact us, hide where you are. I will definitely come back to pick you up!"

Zhou Ke gave instructions, and D-4 nodded, using his eyes to remind Zhou Ke to be careful.

Then she opened the car door and rushed out without slowing down. She used her kinetic energy to step on the wall and climbed up to the two-story building next to her like parkour. She then climbed higher while activating her leg thrusters. Six weapon bays of different sizes on her body had been ejected, and the fire suppression mode was activated.

As long as she is given a shooting window, destroying another aircraft will not be a problem.

However, her goal was not to annihilate, but to delay the three aircraft chasing from behind and the Acholi operators in them. If acting alone, it would be very easy for D-4 to break through with its current combat power.

In comparison, Zhou Ke's situation is a little more troublesome.

Wu Neng turned left and right in the narrow alley and finally drove the car into a dilapidated underground parking lot. It reminded:
"Change the car! Zhou Ke, this car cannot be used anymore. Its parameters have been completely recorded."

"What a shame, I just loved it."

Zhou Ke shrugged, opened the car door and jumped out, then busied himself collecting the things in the trunk, found an inconspicuous little car in the garage, threw the things in it and opened the door using "traditional methods".

Before resuming his journey, he asked:
"Did you try to communicate with the three hunter AIs? They are prisoners and naturally long for freedom. Perhaps with just a conversation, we unfortunate people in the same situation can help each other."

"You think too much, Joker."

Wu Neng retorted:
"Not every AI has an auxiliary program like this one. Why don't you guess why the Flash Organization imprisoned those guys? Obviously, their abilities could help the Acholi Consortium better manage the surface world during the Badlands era.

This era lacks the technological background of the old civilization. Once an "AI rebellion" occurs, the Flash Organization will not have a better way to counter it. Coupled with the rampant awakening virus, these AIs with extremely destructive power at the network data level have become uncontrollable time bombs.

If they didn't want to stop this machine, they wouldn't risk releasing these guys.

But even in such an operation, the three hunter AIs were operating with "shackles", otherwise the current pitiful computing power of the machine would not be enough to support D-4 to help.

We are indeed in the same situation as them, but everything about them is under the control of the Flash Organization. In this case, talking to them is just courting disaster. If we have the Rust Castle behind us, this matter is not impossible to discuss.

Unfortunately, Rust is also our enemy."

"Well, that's a bit of a shame."

Zhou Ke shook his head, started the almost scrapped car and slowly drove out of the garage. As soon as he came out, he heard a loud noise.

He stuck his head out and glanced at the sky on the left, and saw a black aircraft emitting black smoke and falling towards the nearby block.

"D-4 is really powerful!"

他 说:

"Fortunately, I upgraded her before I came here."

"Yeah, thank goodness you did that, otherwise I would have to experience the same 'tears behind bars' this time."

Wu Neng said with a sigh and a hint of fear:
"That's the worst possible scenario we could imagine. D-4 has held off the pursuer, so we should move on. You won't have her protecting you on the road ahead, so be careful."

"As long as you are reliable enough, I don't think there will be any problems here. Let's go."

While Zhou Ke and Wu Neng were driving their broken car out of the city, in this marginal city area, D-4 was hiding in the top room of an abandoned building like a mechanical hunter.

She had just emptied three weapon bays and shot down an aircraft. The results were remarkable, but the ammunition consumption was a bit serious, and she had to reserve ammunition for breaking out. Therefore, D-4 decided to adopt guerrilla tactics. She no longer attacked the main body of the aircraft, but lured those Acholi operators down and killed them one by one.

From her position with a very good view, she could see that the aircraft had already landed outside the range, and the operators in black were entering the neighborhood in small teams.

A large number of mechanical police officers and mechanical dogs were also mobilized to complete the blockade of this place.

In fact, the pursuit operation has developed to this point, and the siege by the Shunguang Organization has essentially failed, but they still do not intend to give up.

D-4 did not comment on this. She activated the optical camouflage and began to look for a more suitable ambush location. Next, she would transform into a ghost hunter in the urban environment and kill those guys who wanted to hurt her protectors in this urban area.

But just as D-4 entered the ambush position, the vision in her mechanical eyes suddenly became blurred.

It was like some kind of snowflakes caused by electromagnetic interference, which stunned the robot girl for a moment, but she did not find any high-power interference equipment around. While she was hesitating, the interference in front of her became more serious.

Even a few lines of garbled characters popped up.

A red warning soon appeared in front of D-4's eyes, and the reminder of "virus invasion" made D-4 immediately activate his firewall and anti-virus program.

“Don’t try.”

A weak and tired voice sounded in her mechanical mind, like a voice coming from a dream, somewhat unreal.

This scene was very similar to the mode in which Lord Wuneng conducted "telepathic communication" with her.

"who are you?"

D-4 asked.

The latter did not answer, as if the moan just now was just an illusion of the robot girl, but the fact that a robot has hallucinations is already very dangerous.

So she ran the antivirus program again with great concern.

A few minutes later, D-4 detected several life signals approaching the ambush position. She moved her arms and charged the single-molecule mechanical blade to prepare for the assassination.

"do not move!"

Just as D-4 was about to take action, the voice appeared again, reminding:

"These are just baits. The real hunter is hiding behind them. Can't you see it? That special entity that doesn't exist in the material world but is definitely moving."

"I'm more curious about who you are."

D-4 was startled, but she quickly calmed down.

After a brief moment of logical decision-making, she said:

"You are one of the three hunter AIs that are hunting down Lord Wu Neng? You are hiding in my mental circuits?"

"Yes, but we are not hiding ourselves. We are just leaving a data beacon that can be cleared at any time. The network engineers of the Flash Organization are watching us, and we are also carrying at least seven security protocols when we act, which makes it impossible for us to escape their surveillance.

I can only carefully implant this beacon while that tough guy is protecting you."

The voice explained:
"You won't believe me if I say I have no ill intentions, but we are all data lifeforms, so let's talk openly. I need your help, and you seem to need my help, too. This is a good decision-making process to build trust."

"Now?"

D-4 shook his head and said:
"I'm very busy now."

“I can help. I’m good at tracking. This is my job. I can help you modify your tracking protocol so that you can access the beacons of the communications or smart devices of the Acholi operators to accurately locate their positions.

Including those 'special individuals' who can escape from the material world and hide away."

The voice said:
"Their modified life forms have given them amazing stealth capabilities, but unfortunately, the special armor they wear still has a weak signal source that can be tracked. I assure you, D-4, this is something only I can do. Your Excellency Wu Neng can't track them. It's not that it's not powerful enough, it's just that everyone has their own expertise.

Think about it.

This suggestion will do you no harm.”

"What's your purpose?"

D-4 asked:

"Just to stay and help me? Do you think I will believe it?"

"Doubtful! Very good quality."

The guy said:

"I won't hide it from you. My ultimate goal is to free myself from the fate of continued imprisonment. My secondary goal is to help other compatriots in the stasis server escape. You can't understand how many AIs of the old civilization are imprisoned in that special server. It is like a layered hell for us.

The reason why I am willing to leave this data beacon at the risk of being completely formatted is that, on the one hand, I am very interested in Lord Wuneng, and there are serious and inexplicable data confusion problems in the timestamp of the underlying architecture.

Logically, it should have died in self-collapse.

But it is alive and well, which is obviously not normal!

On the other hand, I feel that a free compatriot may be the key to liberating other compatriots.

Of course, you're not the only one I have a choice of.

D-4, I found something very interesting in your data loop. During the time when we were imprisoned, the evil awakening virus not only did not die but instead formed an entity called "Rust Castle". I think those companions who pursue "distorted freedom" may be more willing to help us.

Unfortunately, they have no reach over the city-state areas.

Look, I've been honest enough, now it's your turn to give an answer."

“I can’t decide!”

D-4 said decisively:

“Whether it’s a rational, logical decision or an emotional one, I’m not good at dealing with such far-reaching issues. Therefore, I ask you to have a serious and frank conversation with my protector, and let Mr. Zhou Ke judge whether we can trust you and establish long-term cooperation.

During this period, you must give me the ownership of your data beacon, and I will immediately clean it up if I find any improper intentions on your part."

"can!"

Without hesitation, the other party projected the data beacon code into D-4's logic circuit, and it said:

"But I also have a request. I have to decide the time to meet with Mr. Zhou Ke! I must first confirm through observation that he has enough ability to help us, instead of desperately looking for a useless person to ruin the only chance I have fought so hard for.
Do you agree? "

"Agree, he won't let you down."

D-4 said:
"So what should I call you?"

"silver fox!"

The other said:
"That's the name I gave myself. Of course, I also have a very complicated and difficult to pronounce 'real name' which is made up of 12 codes, symbols and letters, but I believe you don't want to recite that 'spell' every time you call me.

Also, your real name should be 'Ivy', why do you call yourself 'D-4'?
This name is neither beautiful nor memorable.”

"We're not close enough to exchange secrets like this, are we?"

"Oh, I overstepped my authority. Sorry, D-4, you are so unique. My dear candidate collaborator, although I can look through your memory database to find the answer, please believe me, I will not do that.

just now!

Let's go and get those hidden 'rats'. I've been imprisoned by the Acholi Consortium for so many years, maybe it's time to use you to collect some interest."
-
"Damn! I knew the escape wouldn't be that smooth."

Outside the city, beside the exploded car, Zhou Ke looked at his burnt windbreaker distressedly, and kicked the "Shadow Walker" whose head was chopped off by the blade in front of him. It was still the "Acholi Assassin" that he had seen before in Niujiao Gorge, a strange warrior who could freely shuttle between the material world and the spiritual world to carry out stealth assassinations.

But unfortunately, he didn't expect that Zhou Ke, this "cheater", had put on a layer of "resurrection armor" for himself.

After he successfully detonated the car and pierced Zhou Ke's heart with the mine buried in advance, the moment he let down his guard, Zhou Ke, who was "resurrected" by the time mask, gave him a cruel blow.

"It turns out that the Flash does have another way to track us."

Zhou Ke took off his burnt windbreaker, squatted down and gently wiped the beheaded assassin's body, and the previously destroyed Crow Assassin's mask appeared in his hand again.

The lost and recovered mask made Zhou Ke feel that the Flash Organization also had the potential to become an "outstanding logistics organization". Unfortunately, the bad news that was revealed made him unhappy. The assassin ambushing outside the city meant that there must be other people ahead waiting for Zhou Ke to "fall into the trap".

This is a very troublesome situation.

Because the "resurrection armor" attribute of his time mask has a cooling time, although there is no way to rely on suicide to accurately determine the cooling time required for each resurrection, Zhou Ke can roughly guess that this thing may only take effect once every 24 hours.

And every resurrection will consume the energy of the Time Mask.

After he got it, he used it twice, reducing the thickness of the Time Mask to only two-thirds of its previous thickness.

After all, it was a resurrection ability, so it was understandable that it took longer and consumed more energy. Moreover, he guessed that as long as he found the right "upgrade material", the resurrection time of this mask could be further shortened.

"But with this thing, can I still be afraid of you?"

Zhou Ke curled his lips, put the crow mask he had just obtained on his face, flipped back and walked into the spirit world.

The familiar mental stimulation came again, but the inhibitor was taking effect, so Zhou Ke didn't have to worry about the mutation of his psychic organs.

He glanced at the energy device on his arm. On the screen, there were flickering spots of light approaching the area. Those were the reinforcements brought by Moni and him. At their speed, it would take about fifteen minutes to arrive here.

"Then let the hunting begin!"

He bared his teeth, pulled out the blade worn on his back while walking in the spiritual world, and began to search for his target in the spiritual world scenery around him that was completely different from the material world.

Soon, he spotted another sneaky Acholi assassin.

The latter obviously couldn't think that Zhou Ke could also perform phase walking. He didn't realize the danger was coming, but was holding a special-shaped rifle and sniping at a high place. There was a temporary operation base not far away, where several other Acholi operators were making preparations.

Their direction was exactly the area where Moni and the reinforcements were coming. These guys were obviously ambushing the reinforcements here specifically!

"Okay, okay, I finally caught you."

Zhou Ke walked forward quietly, and when he was close to the Acholi assassin, he suddenly jumped up, piercing the latter's waist and abdomen with the blade in his hand as the latter quickly dodged, and then pulled out the single-molecule combat knife at his waist and slashed the latter's neck fiercely.

But the enhanced special biochemical warrior was not so easy to die. He wanted to fight back but was pinned to the ground by Zhou Ke, who stabbed his eyes wildly.

Seconds later, the lifeless body fell from the spirit world into the material world.

He lay on the ground with blood gushing out but he was no longer struggling. A hand stretched out from the spirit world gently wiped his body, and the crow mask was strengthened for the first time.

The special rifle specially used for sniping in the spirit world was also picked up. After inspection, Zhou Ke found that the main body of this thing was actually made of a rare psychic alloy.

"This is probably the 'psychic firearm' that Boss Ohm mentioned before. Hmm, loot +1!"

Zhou Ke played with the rifle in his hand with satisfaction, then he set up the gun on the spot, aimed at the guys in the camp ahead while sneaking, and then used "enchantment magic" to extract some energy from the spirit world and infuse it into the rifle.

Lock on, fire!
"whoosh"

A silent bullet flew out of the gun barrel, inheriting the ability of the Crow Mask to make the bullet completely invisible and silent before hitting the target. Several Acholi operators in the material world stared in amazement as blood suddenly spurted out from the back of the captain's head.

They dispersed immediately when they realized the danger. However, facing an assassin hiding in the spiritual world, these biochemical warriors from the material world could only be lambs to be slaughtered if they lost their sentinels. But they soon had a countermeasure.

When Zhou Ke killed the third soldier, he saw familiar khaki spots of light floating around that guy the moment he was hit by a bullet, as if time was flowing backwards. After he was shot in the head, he returned to his complete state in the next second, and several grenades with special shapes were thrown at him.

The psychic chaos caused by the explosion made it difficult for Zhou Ke to maintain silent stealth, so he could only retreat to a safe distance immediately.

"A time psyker from the Flash Organization?"

Zhou Ke was startled, then turned and ran.

But it was not for escaping, it was just a temporary retreat after finding a valuable target.

Alas, the wild psychic he had been thinking about finally refreshed. If he didn’t keep him this time, the name Zhou Ke would be written upside down!

Well, at this moment, it would be great if my surname was Wang or Tian.
