Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 111:44. Huh? Doctor Octopus! When did you come?
"Ah, I slept so well last night. Even when the psychic storm wasn't blowing, I didn't have such a refreshing sleeping experience."

Zhou Ke stretched lazily and stood up from the sofa. He took a look at the clothes covering himself and knew that D-4 must have been on guard all night.

He rolled his shoulders and finished washing up, then saw the note left by Moni.

That guy had already gotten up early and started preparing for the evening banquet at Panis Ecological Park with Weng Meiyu.

The action date is two days later. By then, the psychic storm will be over and Zhou Ke will be back to his best condition. When he was drying his hair and walking out of the bathroom, D-4 prepared breakfast and reminded him:

"I'll be out for a while. Bert informed me that the 'armed backpack' designed for you by Master Wu Neng is ready. He just finished testing it and the finished product has passed the combat test."

"Ha, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about it."

Zhou Ke rubbed his ears, trying to filter out the auditory hallucinations brought on by the psychic storm. His San value had recovered well. While eating his bland breakfast, he said:

"You can also arm yourself with Bert. We are going to sneak into the underground maze structure of the ecological park together. I have read the information brought by Weng Meiyu. The three-dimensional structure of that place is so chaotic that it cannot be distinguished with the naked eye.

Although Wu can be my guide, I feel much more at ease with you by my side.

That idiot Moni said that he had only been to the ecological park to hang out, and had never been to the underground structure that was used to train special biochemical beasts. It was really useless."

"Okay, I'll be armed."

D-4 took off her apron and adjusted her appearance in front of the mirror in the restaurant. Before leaving, she asked:
"Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's great. I feel refreshed, as if all the stress has been removed."

Zhou Ke responded, which made D-4 smile, and then she left the apartment with the clatter of her high heels.

After she left, Wu Neng reminded her in a mean way:
"You really don't understand romance! D-4 massaged your muscles all night last night on the sofa. If it were a human, his fingers would probably be broken by now. Why don't you say thank you to D-4?"

"what?"

Zhou Ke raised his eyebrows belatedly and said:
"I remember it was Weng Meiyu last night. She was trying to win over D-4? How clever!"

"Obviously, Bert's appearance made Weng Meiyu feel threatened."

Wu Neng said:
"She began to cater to you with a more positive attitude. As she said, after realizing the truth beneath the surface of Little Acholi and the true logic of power operation in a social system based on violence, Weng Meiyu began to be reborn.

This woman is really smart and has a great learning ability.

She didn’t use her brain before, not because she didn’t have it, but because she felt it was unnecessary. But now that she uses her brain, it shows that she is not an ordinary person. "

“Everyone is extraordinary!

The prerequisite is whether you can tap into your own talents. Most people don’t actually know what they are really good at throughout their lives. They just go with the flow and at some point too casually accept the first job that fate throws at them and make a living from it.

I am different.

Every job that little jerk of fate thrust upon me I blew with my amazing talents and had to find my own way to make a living.”

Zhou Ke snorted in a rather Versailles way and said:
“Well, this is probably what growing up is all about.”

"Hey, don't think that you can make it sound reasonable just by saying a bunch of confusing words and then adding an old man's sigh!"

Wu Neng retorted:
"If you have the time, you should pay more attention to your mental stress."

"It's okay. I've found a way to entertain myself. Seeing the mess in the city caused by me is really satisfying. Maybe I'm just a born bastard."

Zhou Ke stared at the news playing on the TV on the wall, looking at the collapsed ruins whose screen had been turned off but still exuded a sense of desolation.

He narrowed his eyes, recalled what he had seen and heard last night, and said to Wu Neng:

"By the way, Bert's domestic servants are really good at killing and setting fires. Thirteen big darlings who were originally only used to warm the bed were able to destroy a building head-on after a little modification. I suddenly feel very optimistic about the future of the Crystal Palace Domestic Service Company.

It’s a pity that there is no stock market here, otherwise I would have to get some original shares and hide them as treasures.

But since the intelligent machines implanted with the Qiaosna code can exert such amazing destructive power, shouldn't we take out those awakened machines we have hidden away for a walk?"

"They can't!"

Wu Neng emphasized:
"The maids under Bert's command are all designed as concept products with exaggerated specifications. Even without the Josna Code, the scene after they activate the destruction mode is still amazing. However, the specifications of the scrapped security machines that Moni has been collecting recently are quite mediocre, and the Josna Code cannot add the finishing touch to them.

What this machine means is that there are differences between machines. Those ordinary scrapped goods can only be used as cannon fodder at best. Don't expect them to be able to take on the main responsibility."

"If they are cannon fodder, then the current number is far from enough. There should be at least a thousand or more to be considered enough."

Zhou Ke stroked his chin and said:

"How about using Ms. Oufu's connections? Maca Group scraps a batch of professional machinery in various fields every month, right?"

"But you don't have enough face, and neither does Moni."

Wu Neng replied:
“For this kind of thing, it’s only through Little Acholi’s request that the military-industrial enterprises cooperate.

You have to realize that these awakened machines are nothing to the elite warriors, but they are the real "army" to the civilians. Little Acholi will not allow you to build a mechanical army of thousands of people under his nose.

This will undoubtedly disrupt the balance of power here.

The order in the city-state area is indeed poor, but at least there is some order here, even if it is only on the surface."

"Alas, look at how we have been struggling for so long, and we still only have this few cards in our hands. No matter how we calculate, it's still not enough."

Zhou Ke sighed and said:
"My starting point is still too low. If I could be born as Little Acholi, the Flash Organization would have been destroyed eight hundred years ago. Hmm?
Who's calling at this time?

Can we still have a quiet breakfast?"

He complained as he connected to the communication request of the energy-comprehension device. The next second, Qiao Ya's sleepy voice sounded in front of him:
"Zhou Ke, Weng Meiyu just called me and asked me to go to her apartment after class. She also said that she had prepared an evening dress for me and asked me to go to a very important party with her. I almost thought I had misheard.

Although I don't know what happened, I feel that it must be related to you and Moni. Do you think I should go?"

"Hmm? She invited you?"

Zhou Ke was stunned for a moment, then he understood and said:

"That was a dinner for the directors of the Acholi Group. It was of a high standard, equivalent to a Spring Festival party for internal staff. According to the time here, it was almost the Chinese New Year, although people in the Bad Land no longer care about these things.

Since it is a banquet for the directors of the consortium, the Weng family will definitely attend.

Weng Meiyu is planning to officially let you debut as a member of the Weng family. She has picked a good time. If you go, you will inevitably have to deal with the Weng family. Maybe you can even meet the legendary Third Master Weng.

In terms of seniority, you should call him 'Grandpa'."

"I'm not asking about seniority! I'm seeking your advice."

Qiao Ya said seriously:

"I don't understand what Weng Meiyu wants to do, but she obviously doesn't intend to let me hide any longer. She wants to use me to achieve some purpose that I don't know, but I don't like being used."

"So, it's up to you to decide. I think you are now qualified to decide your own life."

Zhou Ke drank his porridge, sighing that D-4's cooking skills were getting better and better, and casually said:
“This matter cannot be concealed, Xiaoya.

Later, you will use the ticket of the Weng family to go to the Garden of Eden. At that time, your identity will also be announced. Weng Meiyu may be demonstrating, or she may be using your mother's identity to win over the marginal members of the Weng family. I heard that when your mother had not yet decided to go to the Evil Land, she was recognized as an outstanding heir of the family and had a very high reputation.

She does intend to use you to achieve her goal, and use your identity to strengthen her 'legality' for seizing power in the future. This is a demonstration against the current head of the family.

But if you ask me, there's nothing wrong with going to meet your family and learn from them what kind of person your mother was.

This impression is obviously more three-dimensional.

Things are different now. With little Acholi as your backer, even the Flash Organization cannot target you openly. The only thing that needs to be focused on is the secret of your mother and the truth.

You have to let others know and believe that you know nothing about these things.

If you decide to go, let your aunt Amanda accompany you. Weng Mingyue can give her a "temporary makeover". I have asked, and he has professional equipment that can modify her face. "

"I don't intend to listen to Weng Meiyu's arrangements! I also don't intend to let her disturb my mother's rest for personal reasons."

After more than ten seconds of silence, Qiao Ya made a decision. She said:
“I asked Xiaofang, and she told me that her father was also invited, so I would go there as Director Mulan’s attendant.

This way I can still get in touch with the Weng family, and my identity won't be discovered. I think it's better not to make my identity public, so as not to cause trouble to you and Moni. You have too many things to worry about now, and I should be more sensible. "

"Good girl! I am really touched."

Zhou Ke said:
"Okay, let's do as you say. Don't worry about Weng Meiyu. She's getting smarter and smarter now, and she won't hold a grudge against you over such a small matter."

"Okay, then we'll meet at the dinner. This is my first time attending a real banquet. I only heard all kinds of legends in the Bad Land before, but I didn't expect to see the world so soon."

Qiao Ya became happy and said with some anticipation:

"I have to go get some clothes with Xiaofang. I'm hanging up now. Please be careful." After the communication was disconnected, Zhou Ke thought for a moment and said to Wu Neng:
"For such a big banquet that invites people from within the consortium, Bert should also receive an invitation, right?"

"Of course. That perverted robot is now the first in line to inherit the Maca Group. He has somehow managed to get into this high-end circle."

Wu Neng said:
"Plus, his mother has just come to power, and this banquet is a great time for her to perform and build connections. She will definitely bring her son to attend."

"very good."

Zhou Ke narrowed his eyes and said:

"In the name of Director Mulan, place an order with Crystal Palace Housekeeping Service Company. Wu Neng, reserve ten dinner maids. Let Nuo Ka and the others enter the dinner scene as attendants. If any problems arise, escort Xiao Ya and Weng Meiyu away from the scene immediately.

Oh, this housekeeping service is so useful.”

"Don't think about the damn thing, Joker. Just finish your breakfast and start meditating."

Wu Neng reminded:
"Moni was afraid that something might happen to you again, so this morning he asked Amanda for a meditation manual that is circulated within the Snake Nation. It's not the high-end manual used by the Ascendants, but it should be enough to stabilize your mind and relieve some of the pressure."

"Okay, I'll try."

A few hours later, when D-4 returned to the apartment with a large black backpack, he saw Zhou Ke in pajamas sitting cross-legged in the empty living room. He was pretending to light candles and incense made of who knows what material around his body. He looked mysterious.

He sat cross-legged in it, maintaining his breathing rhythm at a special frequency, with his hands in the lotus seal.

If you didn't know the inside story, you would think Zhou Ke was going to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven when you saw it.

But it’s not entirely true to say that the meditation techniques within the Snake Nation are useless. Zhou Ke’s physical condition and mental stress have indeed been very stable in the past few hours.

Even the degree of auditory hallucinations has been greatly reduced.

In other words, Uncle Ohm died in a hurry. If Zhou Ke had obtained the meditation techniques of the Snake Knights from Ohm, the problems he is facing now would probably be much easier.

D-4 places the backpack on the table.

Her movements were very slight, but the metal structure in the backpack still made a noise, causing Zhou Ke to open his eyes.

"This is the armed backpack that Wu Neng designed with great precision. You didn't tell me that it really looks like a backpack."

He stood up, walked forward, looked around, and said to D-4:
"How do you use this thing?"

"Just carry it on your back."

D-4 said:
"This is a fully automatic device, which will be operated by Lord Wu Neng. After the signal is matched, it can automatically load the ammunition. I tried it in Bert's factory and it is indeed very useful, but it is a bit heavy and will affect your movements.

It's difficult to perform tactical actions when you're on your back, so try to avoid getting close to the enemy."

"It's okay. This machine was designed with a focus on fire suppression. With the suppression power of this thing at full firepower, unless Joker goes crazy and wants to attack the army or intends to fight the Ascendant alone, in most cases he will not be reduced to the point of having to fight in close combat."

Wu Neng said proudly:

"What are you waiting for? Put it on your back! Let me show you the amazing technological capabilities of this machine!"

"Just don't blow me up, you bastard."

Zhou Ke complained and put the big backpack on his back with the help of D-4.

It was indeed very heavy, just like carrying a metal block of the same size. If the physical enhancement that Weng Mingyue gave him had not taken effect, with his original thin dog physique, it would have been difficult for him to run, let alone fight, with this thing on his back.

"Are you ready?"

Wu Neng shouted excitedly:

"'External Individual Weapon Platform' is about to start! Joker, please stretch out your hands and maintain a posture to facilitate the first gait data adjustment of this machine."

“So many things!”

Zhou Ke rolled his eyes and gave a standard French military salute. Then he heard the armed backpack behind him "extend" after the beeping signal was matched.

Four folding metal buckles for fixation extend from each of the arms, chest and waist, fitting closely to his body to complete the staggered coupling. After being locked in a special fixing structure, the armed backpack is fixed on Zhou Ke's back and will not change its position due to his strenuous activities.

Then, with the special rhythm of mechanical operation, a three-way folding black mechanical arm emerged from the backpack.

This thing has two universal joints, allowing it to achieve 360° unobstructed locking and aiming on Zhou Ke's side.

Zhou Ke turned his head to take a look at the thing and found that the top of the robotic arm was shaped like a three-claw metal buckle, with a large-caliber beam launcher inside.

"Doctor Octopus! I like it!"

Zhou Ke smiled, reached out and touched the mechanical arm standing on his shoulder, and said:

"This thing can lock the opponent in close combat and also fire lasers?"

"Do you think this is all the design of this machine is capable of?"

Wu Neng said in a very arrogant tone:
“It has three weapon slots and can carry three external weapons at the same time, including assault rifles, melta rifles, under-slung grenades and other individual equipment. When necessary, it can even be replaced with a small missile nest by replacing components.

Of course, considering your weak melee ability, this machine is specialized for it.

D-4, you will be the enemy. "

"it is good."

D-4 assumed a fighting stance in front of Zhou Ke. As she rushed forward quickly, Zhou Ke heard a whoosh sound, and the three-claw metal buckle fixed on the top of the robotic arm was launched out.

This thing extended a freely movable soft mechanical structure from the inside of the mechanical arm, and under Zhou Ke's astonished gaze, it wrapped around D-4 like a snake and tied up her arms. The flexible three-claw buckle was raised like a snake's head, and the beam launcher inside was ready to go.

A set of smooth little combos is enough to instantly kill enemies who are not familiar with this thing's only mode.

"Great, now I look more like Doctor Octopus."

Zhou Ke nodded in satisfaction, but then found fault and said:

"But I only have one robotic arm. I feel insecure about both its firepower and its defense."

"Shut up."

Wuneng shouted:
"Ultra-tactical mode activated!"

"click"

The other three robotic arms also popped out from Zhou Ke’s armed backpack, turning him into “Silberman” in an instant.

The four robotic arms flexibly rotated in four directions, just like the shorter spider legs vibrating. Under Zhou Ke's gaze, three other metal claws popped out, tied up D-4 and lifted him into the air.

D-4 had no complaints about this.

In her opinion, this was just Mr. Zhou Ke's attempt at new equipment.

But the problem is that this bastard Wuneng had bad intentions. He deliberately tied D-4 into a very unique posture in the air. The simple-minded robot girl probably didn't even realize that her posture at this moment was as pitiful as if she was actively asking for love.

"enough!"

As a rhodium-cesium-beryllium person, Zhou Ke naturally understood it immediately. He stretched out his hand and pulled the energy-comprehension device on his left arm, and said:
"Be serious! Don't be a shrimp robot! You must respect women, understand?"

"what?"

D-4 was stunned for a moment, then realized that his condition was very embarrassing.

She broke free from the four metal claws with ease with some anger. When she landed, she glared at the energy device fiercely, then gave Zhou Ke a "I don't blame you" smile and turned to clean up the kitchen.

"What a nice girl."

Wu Neng said meanly:
"It's just that it's a bit strong. The machine has adjusted the output of the metal claws to the maximum within the specifications, but when facing a numerical monster like D-4, it can't even control it for a second. This also clearly tells you the upper limit of this armed backpack.
This thing is to save your life!

Don't use it against an Ascendant like Amanda, or you'll die a horrible death.

This machine's understanding of this little thing called psychic power is still too superficial, and it cannot come up with an effective response plan for the time being. Before this machine finds a plan to defeat the enemy, you must be careful when dealing with psychics.

Okay, now reload this thing with the ammunition you kept in the basement.

Oh, a friendly reminder, this thing's weight will be halved when it's fully loaded with ammunition, so you'd better take the time to exercise, otherwise it would be embarrassing if you become a skinny dog.

Don't mess around with backpack thrusters!
This function is for your emergency use, not for you to be lazy and rush on the road.

Damn it!

Don't jump when you walk, is the floor hot for your feet? "
