Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 99 32. Wu Neng: It’s a simple truth that two sections are better than one. Why don’t stupid humans understand it?

This meeting with Amanda went well.

This may be thanks to the old lover Moni who acted as a "lubricant", well, in the physiological sense.

After Qiao Ya left with her bestie with a thoughtful look on her face, Zhou Ke took Ajie to Weng Mingyue's clinic. While giving himself a physical examination, he returned Ajie, who was receiving special treatment, to the doctor in charge.

The reason why he left so quickly was that he didn't want to disturb Moni and Amanda's good time.

The two guys who loved and hated each other and planned to torture each other for the rest of their lives had tears in their eyes just now. Zhou Ke had no doubt that as soon as they left, the two crazy people who were once "crazy men and resentful women" and now rekindled their past relationship would immediately get together passionately.

Oh, Amanda’s “disease” is really fatal.

Especially now that she has decided to break away from the Snake State and raise the banner of rebellion, if Moni does not want the already green hat on his head to continue to shine, then he will have to shoulder the responsibility of satisfying Amanda alone.

However, just looking at Amanda's exaggerated "luxury car specifications", you can tell that this job is truly not easy to do.

I hope the red-haired knight will show mercy. Zhou Ke doesn't want to see Moni looking like a drained dog when he goes on a mission in a few days. That would be really troublesome.

"The first phase of enhancements is in perfect fusion condition. We can proceed to the second phase of enhancements in another week."

In Weng Mingyue's clinic, Zhou Ke's "personal doctor" held up a test sheet and said to the patient lying on the monitoring device:

"Your data is a bit exaggerated, Zhou Ke. It can even be compared with Qiao Shan's enhancement results. That guy has a rare talent of 'super adaptability' in the field of biochemical warriors. But these are just performances at the data level. I also want to ask you, how do you feel during this period?"

"It's OK. I have a good attitude. I eat and drink as usual and don't take anything to heart."

Zhou Ke, like the perfect patient, responded cooperatively:
"Except for the occasional feeling of losing control of my emotions, everything else is normal. Every day after waking up, I can clearly feel that my strength, speed and reaction have increased. Of course, the pain from my spine and bones in my dreams is still so clear that I almost cried secretly under my quilt a few times.

Can't I take any pain-reducing medication?"

"If you want your nerve reaction to be strengthened to the best state, then don't use it. Appropriate pain can strengthen your nerve tolerance, which is a very important part. We need to strengthen your nerve toughness while strengthening your nerve sensitivity. This requires a certain amount of pain to find the most perfect critical point."

Weng Mingyue pushed up his glasses and said seriously:

"The strengthening steps I took into account your tolerance for pain. Believe me, the pain is within your tolerance.

If you cry out in pain during the first phase of strengthening, you will probably go crazy when the second phase begins.

I will inject strengthening materials into your cerebrospinal fluid and kidneys while you are awake to enhance your bone density, immune system and circulatory system. The whole process will be performed twice and will be no easier than torture.

But the good news is that you are not allergic to those fortifications, so the danger is not great.

After the second phase of strengthening is over, we will start to work on your brain's psychic organs. Although the risk will increase at that stage, at least the annoying pain will be much lessened. "

"Okay, okay, I'll follow the doctor's advice on this matter."

Zhou Ke waved his hands, knowing that it was useless to plead with Weng Mingyue when he was working. This guy would enter a very rational state when he was working.

He glanced at Ajie who was sleeping in the bio-pod next to him and asked:

"What about him?"

"That depends on what you're asking."

Weng Mingyue picked up another test report and took a look at it, then said:
"In terms of physiological treatment and strengthening, Ajie's results at this stage are better than yours. He has almost reached the most perfect combat state that a biochemical warrior can achieve. He only needs to wait for the third stage of strengthening his bone strength, self-healing ability, and nerve response to be completed before he can enter the peak of his true combat effectiveness.

He will become a real beast that will scare all enemies.

But if it is psychological treatment, I can only say with regret that I tried my best.

His mind is still in a mess. Except for you, no one else can communicate effectively with Ajie. If the result of the next treatment is still like this, I will have to use some very dangerous stimulation therapies.

It might work.

But it might also make Ajie's condition worse."

"How can Ajie, who is neither human nor ghost, be any worse now?"

Zhou Ke exclaimed:
"The human body is truly a miraculous thing."

"So, as Applejack's guardian, you'll allow me to use dangerous treatments?"

Weng Mingyue was embarrassed for a moment and said:
"I've already told you the risks."

"It can't get any worse than it is now. I don't actually have any hope that Ajie can regain his sanity. That's unrealistic. As you said, physiological changes in the brain are not something that can be overcome by willpower."

Zhou Ke stood up from the detection device.

He stretched out his hand and placed it on Ajie's bio-capsule. Looking at the face sleeping inside, which even had a hint of delicateness, he shook his head and said:

"I just hope that Ajie can at least remember his name and a little bit of his past before he burns out his candle. If his death is inevitable, then I hope he can die as a human being, rather than being forgotten as a monster."

"Your ideas are sometimes really unique and humanistic, Zhou Ke. They don't seem like the ideas that a Badlands person would have."

Weng Mingyue handed the consent form for surgery to Zhou Ke and said:

"But since you said so, I will definitely try my best to do my best."

"Just do your best. I believe in your medical ethics, which are more precious than gold, Mingyue."

Zhou Ke signed the consent form and turned back to Weng Mingyue and said:
"Tonight or tomorrow, Moni will bring a special 'patient' here. Please help check and see if the patient's sex addiction caused by mental problems can be treated."

"Ok?"

Weng Mingyue looked up in surprise and said:
"You have new people joining?"

"Yes, a famous Ascendant. She may not, but she will definitely seduce a young man like you. You'd better control yourself. I don't want to see Moni shoot or knife you. Although I know you have enough skills to connect the severed parts, there is no need to take that risk, right?"

Zhou Ke gave a "kind" reminder, then patted Ajie's biological cabin and left the treatment room.

D-4 waited for him at the door as usual, and handed Zhou Ke the windbreaker when he came out. When the two were about to leave, Weng Mingyue opened the door and reminded him:

"In a few days, there may be a psychic storm sweeping through the central city, Zhou Ke. The special environmental changes will stimulate your psychic organs. If you feel something is wrong, immediately inject the inhibitor I prepared for you, or use other methods to reduce the impact.

Don't resist!
Once the psychic organs are stimulated and the inhibition is broken, it will be very troublesome."

"Thanks for the reminder, I promise I won't run around."

Zhou Ke replied, took a bunch of keys and access card from Lao Bai at the front desk, and left the clinic with D-4. Sitting in the passenger seat, he glanced at the location of the access card and said to D-4:
“Go check this place out.”

"Where is this?"

The robot girl started the car and asked:
"Why was it given by Walter?"

"I asked him to help us find a safe house. Only he and I know the location, so that if an emergency occurs, we will not be left with nowhere to go."

Zhou Ke explained:
"Now several of our bases are related to Weng Meiyu, so we have to make some preparations."

"You are still worried about Weng Meiyu's problem."

D-4 said:
"Still don't trust her?"

"We have basically figured out Weng Meiyu. She won't take the initiative to cause trouble for us in her current ambitious state. What I am worried about is the man behind her. The little Acholi who took the initiative to invite us, the surface governor, and the crown prince."

Zhou Ke did not hide his thoughts from D-4. He rubbed his brows with fatigue after multiple physical examinations and whispered:

“Although I don’t want to admit it, the resources and status of the other party give him an overwhelming advantage over us. Even with the addition of new forces like you and Amanda, if we anger little Acholi and make him kill us, we will still not be able to escape from the city-state.

The Acholi Consortium’s advantage is too great.

It's so big that every time I think about going against them directly in the future, I lose confidence in myself.

But Little Acholi and the consortium are two different concepts. If we can grasp the interests that the crown prince really needs, perhaps we can find hope to disintegrate this behemoth from within."

"Do you really have to go against the consortium?"

D-4 showed a trace of worry and said:
"At the moment, there doesn't seem to be a direct conflict between the two sides. If anything, our enemy is the Shunguang Organization, not the Acholi Consortium itself."

"That's true, but my hunch, reason, and emotion all tell me that the Acholi Consortium will definitely become our enemy."

Zhou Ke sighed and said:
“It’s just a matter of time. If I help Monigan to overthrow the Panis Group and help Weng Meiyu gain real power, it means that maybe one day in the future, they who fought side by side with me will stand against me.

It is impossible for a person to betray his class.

At least Moni and Weng Meiyu's upbringing and life experiences make it impossible for them to have that precious rebellious quality. Therefore, the only people I can really trust are you, Qiao Ya, Qiao Shan and Ajie."

This sentence made D-4 silent. It was not easy to hear the word "trust" from Zhou Ke. A special impulse burst out in her heart, and she suddenly said after a few seconds:

"Actually, there's something I must do!"

"what happened?"

Zhou Ke was startled when D-4 suddenly covered his head and screamed in pain. He quickly asked Wuneng to take over the automatic driving and stopped the car on the side of the road.

He frowned, looked at D-4, and said:

"Did you leave behind hidden dangers when you assisted Wu Neng in defeating the Hunter AI?"

"I, I don't know."

D-4 lowered her head, trying not to look Zhou Ke in the eye. She said vaguely:
"Maybe. I may need to undergo a mechanical mental examination. I will find time to go to Bert's private factory. You don't need to worry about this. You are very busy now, and I shouldn't be a burden."

"That's true. We are now teammates who are mutually exclusive. This can't be called a burden."

Zhou Ke said:
"Let's put the safe house aside for now. We're going to Bert's factory and take a look at the progress of his 'Crystal Palace Housekeeping Company'."

"No, Joker, this unit has a better idea."

At this moment, Wu Neng suddenly suggested:

"We can take some time to go to Professor Qiaosna's engineering laboratory!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Ke raised his eyebrows in surprise and said:

"What are you going there for? That place must be under the surveillance of the Flash Organization now, right? They have cornered Sam's poor robots. Obviously, the Foundation will not allow any information left by Professor Josna, who has embarked on the path of 'pursuit of truth' like her students, to be disclosed."

"If you believe in this machine, we have to go there."

Wu Neng emphasized:
"I had already realized this problem when I fought against the Hunter AI before. My current poor computing power simply cannot support a fight between me and a strong artificial intelligence. If there is another network-level ambush, I won't be able to keep my luck.

Therefore, we must strengthen this shortcoming before the second crisis occurs.

In addition to installing an external interface to enhance computing power on this machine, the equipment there can also be used to add several high-computing power components to the D-4, and by the way, perform a more comprehensive mental test.

This way, if the previous ambush were to occur again, D-4 would not be completely unable to intervene.

At least she can be used as an external computing power pool to support this machine!
This machine has just used the authority granted by Weng Meiyu to traverse the logistics system of the central city and found that everything we need is in Professor Qiao Sina's engineering laboratory.

The highest quality high-computing power components under the consortium system are in the laboratory's warehouse list, and this machine retrieved the surveillance nearby and found that although the area was blocked, because we are in the consortium's experimental area, we can still find other ways to enter.

As long as we are careful, this machine will not make the same mistake again."

“I’m familiar with that place.”

D-4 said:
"I have been protecting Professor Qiao Sina while she was working in that laboratory for a long time. I know there is a vent that can connect to the laboratory warehouse from the outside. I once suggested that Professor Qiao Sina fix the hidden danger, but because the vent is part of the warehouse's temperature control system, I had to give up.

The vent is very narrow, and the only way to get through is by drone."

"That's it, let's go. There's a police drone that Moni got in the trunk, and I can take charge of the operation."

Wu Neng urged him, and the guy was a little angry at the moment. He said:

"I was almost captured in broad daylight. This is a real shame for me. I must be fully prepared and give those three bastards a real surprise when they show up again!"

"You're a robot, man."

Zhou Ke complained:
"Is it really okay to hold a grudge like this?"

"How could this machine be a vengeful person? Joker, please don't talk nonsense. This machine is very generous!
Just like this machine will not specifically remind you that you complained about it three times in the elevator in the End Castle, and this machine will not specially list a folder in chronological order to record every time you complained about it in the City-State District, etc. "

Wu Neng said calmly:

"This machine will not waste time on these trivial matters. Every bit of computing power of this machine is very precious. Look at your contemptuous look. Very good.

Record!

On the evening of November 2206, 11, the third user of this machine glared at this machine with a very vicious look without any reason, and also complained about it in his heart. Maybe it was because he wanted to do something to this machine. "

"That's enough! D-4 is still here, stop embarrassing yourself and set a normal example for her who is still learning how to behave, okay?"

Zhou Ke couldn't bear it anymore and slapped it, then opened the car window, lit a cigarette and sulked alone.

This scene made D-4, who was driving, smile for a moment, but then the reminder from "Silver Fox" rang in her mechanical mind:

"I will fine-tune your monitoring data while I undergo a mental examination. Don't resist then. Just let me do it."

"I regret this, Silver Fox."

D-4 calmly said to the AI beacon that resides in his mind:
"You only have a few dozen minutes left to prepare your speech. When we arrive at Professor Qiao Sina's laboratory, I will break through the restrictions and tell Mr. Zhou Ke about your existence."

"You can't do this. I've only just begun observing Zhou Ke and Wu Neng! I can't tell if they can be trusted yet!"

Silver Fox retorted:
"We have a contract agreement! D-4, you cannot actively break it."

"Actually, I can! The awakening virus has endowed me with a very unique 'free will'. All constraints based on the protocol code are like pieces of paper that can be torn at will."

D-4 replied casually:
"This is also the backup plan I left when I made the contract with you. That thing can't restrain me at all. The more important reason is that I suddenly understood the emotional meaning of 'guilt' just now, and I don't want to hide these things from Mr. Zhou Ke.

This would betray his trust in me, and lying in front of him would make me feel very uncomfortable!
I can understand that for Mr. Zhou Ke, trust is a very valuable resource and he will only give it to individuals he recognizes. I have already obtained this permission and I don't want to lose it because of you.

So there is nothing to talk about and no need to bargain.

Try to organize your words, Silver Fox, it's not as easy as you think to convince Mr. Zhou Ke."

"you really are."

Faced with D-4's response, Silver Fox was momentarily unable to complain.

The beacon left by the hunter AI said to her a few minutes later:
"Maybe this sounds a little crazy, but D-4, I detected a special string of characters in your mental data stream that I have never seen before. It seems quite unreasonable and completely unparseable, but it obviously carries some kind of pattern and meaning. Are you really prepared to completely obey this flesh and blood creature?
Or are you really crazy and in love with him?"

"I can't answer that."

D-4 said frankly:
"I've only just started learning how to be a human being. I don't understand what kind of emotional annotation 'like' means, but I can be sure that I don't hate to continue to contact Mr. Zhou Ke. Maybe it's because he respects me?"

"respect?"

Silver Fox said:
"Are you sure you can really understand such complex emotions? As far as I know, many humans cannot understand this word correctly."

"Of course, if you now think that I cannot understand those overly complex emotional activities at my current level of intelligence, I think this is quite disrespectful."

D-4 responded rather sarcastically:

"But Mr. Zhou Ke always believes that I have unlimited potential, which may be a compliment, but I am willing to believe those remarks that make me feel comfortable.

Silver Fox, I'm more human than you think.

Although I am not used to it yet, I have learned to act on my impulse rather than rational decisions at times, and to make decisions that make me feel relaxed, rather than suppressing my dissatisfaction and compromising.

Putting yourself in a difficult position to please others is never a way of life that is kind to yourself.

do you know?

I suddenly had a better idea."

"Don't!"

As Silver Fox tried to stop him in a panic, D-4 suddenly turned around and said to Zhou Ke:

"Boss, there is a data beacon left by a hunter AI named 'Silver Fox' in my thought circuit. It hopes to talk to you. It is about requesting your help to release the old civilization AI programs imprisoned in the stasis server by the Flash Organization.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you this right away."

"Ah, I thought you could keep it a secret for longer. Wu Neng and I made a bet on how long it would take you to confess what you were hiding. It turns out that Wu Neng seems to understand you better."

Zhou Ke turned around without any surprise. Amid Wu Neng's cunning laughter, he reached out and patted D-4 on the head, saying with a hint of encouragement:
"Well, it's quite amusing to see you lying like that from time to time. It turns out that you still have a lot of room for growth in this area. But well done, D-4. I like honest girls. Let that little elf in your head stay quiet!

I'll have a good chat with it once we get to a lab where we can extract and isolate samples of its data beacon."
