Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 166 16. You are all in the cage, right? Close the door and let the dog out!
"It seems that Wu Qinhu has no intention of killing us outside the maze."

Zhou Ke moved into the safe area and looked down at the situation with a telescope. He said to Wu Neng who was carrying out the communication instructions:
"That guy just wanted to scare us and say hello to tell us he was there. What do you think he was planning?"

"If I were to say, he probably wants to play a game with you."

Wu Neng snorted and said:
"The news sent back by Weng Meiyu said that the Tiger Nation has now joined Roger's preparations for the Rust Castle. Wu Qinhu should have reached a cooperation with Roger, but he can't be in two places at the same time, so this machine estimates that this guy intends to completely solve your problem in the Time Maze on the 11th, and then meet up with the Flash Organization to attack the Rust Castle together.

The Snake State was also recruited.

But Weng Meiyu said that Qiao Ya went to try to hire Shebang for help. Hey, that girl is pretty amazing. At least she dared to think and act. "

"That means she has a connection with the Snake Nation. Why don't you let others try? If they can get through the gate of the Seven Ring City, they will win. And to be honest, I'm not really concerned about whether Qiao Ya can get powerful reinforcements.

Numbers are clearly not the most important factor in what we are going to do in Time Maze 11."

Zhou Ke stood on a high place, adjusting the focus of the telescope and observing the defense situation in the valley several kilometers away.

What I saw was a fairly modern large military camp. In this remote place, there were reconnaissance drones and black military machinery operating around the clock. Even the soldiers on guard duty had obviously been biologically enhanced.

Each of them is incredibly strong, and their fully armed appearance makes them extremely intimidating.

According to the intelligence Zhou Ke had obtained before, this army stationed outside the No. 11 Time Maze is part of the Third Frontier Defense Corps of the Badland Reservation, a violent agency under the Acholi Consortium. These muscular brothers really have to fight against large groups of monsters on the border, so the supplies, weapons and training they can get in the surface world are all first-class.

"This army alone is enough to wipe out 60% of the strongholds in the Badlands. They have more legions like this along the border of the entire reservation. The Acholi Consortium does have some tough guys in its hands. Judging from their military strength alone, they deserve the title of ruler of the Badlands era."

Zhou Ke zoomed out the telescope again, looking across the Acholi Border Guard camp towards Time Maze No. 11.

All he could see was a violent sandstorm covering the entire valley. Its appearance was no different from the Time Maze No. 12 that had just appeared in the City-State District, but its scope was obviously larger.

The border guards set up several checkpoints along the valley terrain in the area leading to Time Maze No. 11, isolating the maze from the safe area, but not completely isolating it. Some complex terrains that are difficult to pass through do not have physical barriers, and only armed drones patrol and monitor there.

Zhou Ke put down the telescope and guessed that several months ago, he and Wu Neng had "escaped" through those areas that were not physically isolated.

Unfortunately, there was no trace of that memory in his mind.

In the No. 2 Research Institute, Roger has admitted that he jumped through time to the moment when Zhou Ke appeared in the Badlands and shot him. Perhaps it was because of Roger's shot that Zhou Ke lost those precious memories.

Otherwise, at least I can follow the same path back to the maze in front of me.

"Have you contacted them?"

He lit a cigarette and asked, Wu Neng made a beeping sound and then answered:

"The communications of Evil Vulture, Qiao Shan and Master Leather Pants have been incorporated into the temporary communications group. The teams of these three guys happen to be all the members of our operation.

The good news is that no one was injured in the ambush at Tiger State, the bad news is that we were scattered.

D-4 is heading towards your direction, Evil Vulture and Afu are on the ridge seven kilometers away, and the others are approaching the valley from the opposite direction. If we don't want to risk being killed by Wu Qinhu, then we can only adopt the strategy of entering the time maze from different directions."

"I guess Wu Qinhu wants us to do this. Ah, a good biochemical warrior doesn't train muscles but focuses on military tactics. Who can stand this?"

Zhou Ke leaned against a tree, blowing smoke rings and saying:

"Turn on the communication. I'll have a chat with them."

"Pay attention to time management!"

Wu Neng reminded:
"The information collection radar equipped by the Acholi Border Guard can adapt to the communication frequency band of this machine. They will notice it after a long time, but the communication range is too large, and this machine cannot be embedded with overly complex optimization algorithms, so we have to make do with it for now."

After that, it connected three communication nodes and set up free microphones, and then the voice of the evil vulture was heard from one of them:
"Report the number of people!"

"Everything is fine, Chief."

Master Leather Pants Pente replied immediately:

"We have found a pretty good terrain and are landing. We have our feet on the ground, sir! What should we do next? Reunite? Or act independently?"

"There's no way to reunite now."

The Evil Vulture said:
"The Tiger Nation's Biaowei are tracking me. They have also mobilized some of the border guards' tracking equipment. Afu and I will enter the maze directly from this direction, and you will follow. Once you find a safe and stable time segment in the outer ring of the maze, do not move over a large area. I will use the tracking ability of the Time Beast to find you.

With this little thing, the outer area of the maze is safe for a minimum of time."

"Wait a minute, I have some bad news to tell you."

Zhou Ke interrupted the evil eagle's arrangement and said:
"Wu Qinhu is now with a group of flash explorers. There are quite a lot of them. Roger probably hopes to solve the problem of Time Labyrinth No. 11 before they start the war against Rust Castle. From what I saw just now, there are no less than fifty time psionicists alone, and even more action operators.

They were clearly ready to enter the time maze.

Therefore, I judge that Wu Qinhu deliberately separated us in order to defeat us one by one after entering the time maze. What I mean is that we should not reunite after entering the maze, but approach from the outer circle to the inner circle!
The Flash Organization entered the maze with a mission. They can't keep tracking us. We will reunite with them after we confirm that they have entered the inner circle.

That's safer, what do you think? "

"I have no opinion."

Leather Pants Master says:

"You have a good brain, I will listen to you."

"Just do as you say."

The Evil Vulture then responded:
"There is a modified instantaneous hourglass in your action items. Although its power has been greatly reduced after the reference instrument was damaged, it can still help you stabilize the time flow in the area before it is broken, and can help you sense the randomly appearing time layers.

Don't just jump in!
This place is different from the maze in Institute No. 2. Once you jump into the chaotic time stream, you're completely finished.

When you have reached the edge of the inner ring, wait for me to find you."

"I have a special situation here! Boss."

D-4's voice interrupted the Vulture's action plan. She said:
"I met Ms. Amanda on the road. She said she came to help, but the aircraft she was riding lost control and she was thrown into the wilderness. I will take her to meet you now."

"Very good, the most powerful cannon fodder in the Bad Land has one more, congratulations."

Zhou Ke snorted and said:
"Do any teams have any questions? If not, follow the instructions of the Evil Eagle. I want to emphasize one last point. If you get separated in the maze and encounter Wu Qinhu, you can choose to cooperate with them temporarily if they have no intention of killing you.

That guy is most likely coming for me, so don't get yourself involved in the feud between him and me.

Firstly, I don’t need it, and secondly, you probably don’t understand the grudge between him and me. In fact, I myself don’t really understand what’s going on in that guy’s mind.”

"The border guards' information collection radar has started the search program. This machine is going silent. Please do not activate the communication module unless necessary before entering the maze!"

Wu Neng screamed.

After receiving responses from others, this temporarily opened communication network was temporarily closed.

Zhou Ke stood up and stretched his body. The mechanical arm that popped out from his shoulder moved like a snake, and under Wu Neng's control, it turned on the portable radar device.

A moment later, D-4's data signal appeared on Wuneng's screen.

When Zhou Ke's cigarette burned out, a ball of sand wrapped around D-4 appeared at the edge of the cliff where he was. Amanda, dressed in classic cowgirl style, emerged from the sand and cursed as soon as she appeared:

"I knew that the Maca Group's aircraft were all just a scam to get funding! They were fast enough, but they lost control halfway through the flight and almost killed me in the Gobi Desert."

"How do you know that they didn't give you the aircraft to collect information about the test subjects? Is there a better test pilot than you on the surface of the world?"

Zhou Ke threw a cigarette over, and Amanda lit it with a sullen look on her face and said:

"Xiao Ya went to Qihuan City to get reinforcements for you. She said she would find a way to bring the old man over to help you. She also asked you to try to find an opportunity to bury Wu Qinhu here completely. This guy has caused us too much trouble."

"Well, you have a big appetite. I can't even think about it."

Zhou Ke curled his lips and asked again:

"What do you think the chances are that she can shake down the Snake Man?"

"I don't know, but the girl seemed very confident. She said she had a way, but I thought about it all night and couldn't think of any way she could convince the old man."

Amanda sighed and said:

"Alas, this child has grown up and has his own ideas. It's really a headache."

"What else can she do? She can only use 'giving up revenge' as a bargaining chip to convince the people of Snake Nation."

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"With the previous experience of Denar, after we have proved our ability to kill the Knight Commander, Sasha and Levi must also carefully consider the value of Xiaoya, an Avenger who has the support of the Archon on the surface.

What's more, that incident was their fault in the first place, but in fact, I don't think it is a reasonable choice to let Xiaoya become an Avenger.

There was no option of revenge in Ohm's last words. The reason why she sent you away was because she was afraid that your bad temper would ruin things. Well, your growth rate is not bad. You know what is important and what can be given up in exchange for greater benefits.

This child will be great in the future!"

"Oh, so in your eyes I am a bomb that will explode if I don't agree with you?" Amanda waved her fist in dissatisfaction while holding a cigarette in her mouth.

"It's her business if she gives up, but I won't give up on seeking justice for my brother!"

"That's your business! I won't comment, persuade, or intervene. Now get to work!"

Zhou Ke took D-4's arm and said to Amanda:
"Why don't you activate your ability as a sand woman and take us through that military camp that looks very troublesome and head to Time Maze No. 11. But I have to warn you in advance that Wu Qinhu plans to start a hunt with me as his target in the maze!

If you stay with me, it will be dangerous."

"Dangerous? That thing is my tampon, okay!"

Amanda used a disgusting metaphor, and then her body disappeared on the spot, using the wind and sand as a cover to carry Zhou Ke and D-4 down along the ridge.

The scene was as exaggerated as when the Great Sage Huangfeng patrolled the mountains.

Moreover, Amanda's elemental ability is quite amazing. Zhou Ke and D-4 are hidden in it as if they are riding in a translucent energy ball. They can see the outside world, but the outside world cannot see them. Not only can they not be seen by the naked eye, but when Amanda uses psychic fluctuations as a means of interference, the border guards' series of reconnaissance methods will also be temporarily interfered.

"Ah, no matter how many times I see it, this elemental ability is so enviable."

Zhou Ke whispered:
"I kind of regret that I chose my own path in the Second Research Institute. Maybe if I had taken the risk and tried the Snake State's breakthrough method, I would have had the cool elemental incarnation I have now."

"It's not too late now, Boss."

D-4 performed a self-check to confirm the combat status and whispered:

"It's Xiaoya's business to give up revenge, but as Uncle Ohm's junior, you also have the natural 'right of revenge'. If the remaining two Knight Commanders are really annoying, then you still have a chance to get a cool elemental mask."

"You are my confidant, you can guess my thoughts so clearly!"

Zhou Ke laughed and bit D-4's cheek. This scene made Amanda feel sick. She complained in a buzzing voice like the wind:

"Get out of my way, you stupid couple showing off your love. If you want to have sex, remember to tell me in advance. Don't do these dirty things inside me, or I will vomit out all the food I ate last night."

"Oh? You had dinner last night? It seems that Moni is a very incompetent partner."

Zhou Ke joked:
"I thought that with your addiction, you would have two glasses of milk every night to moisten your throat. Oh~ If you think about it this way, the place we are in now is a bit disgusting."

"Fuck you! Zhou Ke, keep talking trash. I'll give you a hard time when I get the chance! Go to the outer layer of the maze, get ready!"

As Amanda reminded, this group of yellow sand, which was inconspicuous in the Gobi Desert, slipped into the dangerous area ahead under the surveillance of several military armed drones, just like a drop of water merging into the sea of yellow sand storm, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

------

"Tell me, did those guys from Jiubang and the annoying Zhou Ke go in?"

In the frontier defense army camp, Wu Qinhu, who had changed into a set of combat uniforms for the chaotic time environment, fastened his tactical gloves and said to a psychic from the Flash Organization beside him:

"Isn't it about time?"

"Well, the detectors we placed outside the time maze have detected seven weak psychic fluctuations in the past half hour, which means that at least seven psychics have entered Time Maze No. 11."

The psionicist of the Flash Organization said something quite terrifying quite professionally and quite calmly.

Finally, he complained:
"I knew that it was a complete mistake to let the military manage something as complicated as the Time Maze. We have been here for less than a day and have witnessed so many stowaways. I have no doubt that over the past year or so, this seemingly impregnable surveillance system has already been penetrated and riddled with holes.

At least judging from the ease with which the Jiubang infiltrated, this is definitely not the first time they have crossed this blockade."

"It's already the Badlands era, and you're still pursuing orderly control? They say the Flash Organization has gathered the best and most outstanding wisdom of this era, but I don't think it's that great."

Wu Qinhu grabbed the replica of the rapier. He equipped the knife with a pretty good scabbard so that he could carry it on his back without affecting the battle.

He said jokingly:
"I think the brains of you smart people are not as good as a warrior like me."

"You are too modest. Manager Roger once said that you are a wise but foolish person."

The psychic replied, then changed the subject:

"Now that we have confirmed that they have entered the maze, can we proceed to the next step? I have to remind you, Director Wu, that we entered the time maze with an inspection mission, and we cannot waste too much time playing the cat and mouse game with you."

"It doesn't matter, we can just divide the work and cooperate."

Wu Qinhu waved his hand and said:

"After we go in, you guys go about your business. Leave Jiu Bang and Zhou Ke to me and my men. With that group of 'hunters', this chaotic maze will become my hunting ground! If everything goes well, I can guarantee that your exploration of the inner ring will not be disturbed this time."

"But Chief Roger didn't ask you to come just to ensure that we are not disturbed, Director Wu!"

The psychic said firmly:

"We have shown you all the data about the monster in the inner ring. With all due respect, no one in the evil land can stop its attack head-on except you. If we don't break through its blockade, we won't be able to search freely in the inner ring.

It’s part of the agreement and it’s your job to do.”

"Well, if I can find the time."

Wu Qinhu sneered.

He didn't seem to care about contracts or agreements at all. Seeing him leave in a swagger, the psychics of the Flash Organization felt a little annoyed. They really invited a big shot back to them.

But there's nothing you can do about it, they do have the capital to be arrogant.

He followed Wu Qinhu to the outside of the base. Except for Franny, the five guards of the Tiger State were already there. They had all changed into high-level combat uniforms provided by the Flash Organization. Their weapons were also upgraded. High-powered weapons that had never been seen before were now available for production, making these brutal guys extremely excited.

When they saw Tiger King coming out, they immediately surrounded him and expressed their loyalty, but Wu Qinhu ignored them.

He looked expressionlessly at the ten giant black biological cabinets in the back that were being delivered to the military camp by cargo ships under the command of the technical sergeants of the border guards and being towed to the entrance of the maze.

What is contained inside is the "secret weapon" that the Flash Organization prepared for this exploration.

"let's start."

Wu Qinhu's adjutant, a senior researcher of the Shunguang Organization, compared the time and then gave his men orders to act.

The secret keys were entered into the ten biological cabinets that were already in place, and soon with the sound of clicking, these expensive high-end biological cabinets were unsealed.

Amid the low and strange roar, the echo of some giant creature was heard along with the vibration of the ground, causing the guards to immediately draw their weapons and protect the Tiger King. Even though Wu Qinhu did not need their protection at all, this kind of thing of winning the favor of the leader must be a skill that the guys who could get to a high position must be very good at.

Soon, biochemical beasts in the form of Ravasaur appeared in the open space outside the time maze. These guys were larger than the T-894 experimental subjects that Zhou Ke had encountered before.

Compared to the previous beast that had strength but no intelligence, these mature and complete forms in front of them not only had tougher scales and more ferocious claws, but the wolf spider-like compound eyes on their heads even had some light that could be called "wisdom".

They are not just simple biochemical beasts, but are also equipped with some technological devices on their bodies to assist in combat.

Some of the chief predators even wore saddles.

A total of 65 biochemical beasts specially designed for complex time environments are divided into 13 groups. Each group has a leader and four warriors. These guys have the ability to go back in time to heal themselves and resurrect. In addition, they have thick skin and flesh and have been artificially implanted with the biological instinct of group hunting, which makes them exponentially more dangerous.

"Go ahead and take the 'gift' yourself. You have followed me for so many years and have worked hard for me. This is my reward to you."

Wu Qinhu pointed at the beasts in front of him that were clearly waiting for orders, and said to the five Biao guards beside him:

"Each of you will lead a group of beasts and follow me into the Time Maze No. 24 to start hunting. Our target is the psychic master of Jiubang and Zhou Ke! I give you hours, and each of you must bring back at least one head! If you can't do it, commit suicide."

After saying that, Wu Qinhu strode forward, but did not randomly choose a beast to ride. Instead, he stared at those leaders.

Most of the "Time Hunters" he was staring at retreated restlessly, as if they were afraid of Wu Qinhu's momentum. Only the largest "group leader" among them stood tall and fearless, and even bared its teeth at Wu Qinhu.

This made the Tiger King laugh out loud and walk forward, signaling the psychic to untie the beast. Then, in just fifteen seconds, he pinned the beast to the ground and beat it hard, even performing three "time reversals" on it. It was not until the latter let out a cry for mercy that he stood up, still unsatisfied, wiggling his fists.

When he rode on the beast, the entire herd bowed their heads in submission to their "new master".

"I like this tough and ferocious beast."

Wu Qinhu pulled the reins and said to the psychic next to him:

"Tell Roger to send the genetic sequence of this thing to Fort End and give it to my disciple Frannie. From now on, this thing will be the vehicle of our Tiger Nation warriors."

"Of course you can ask for something."

The psychic said in a subtle tone:
"But you have to show your sincerity, right?"

"Hehe, come back in 24 hours!"

Wu Qinhu waved his hand and said:
"Until then, I will ensure your safety. I mean what I say. Guys, the hunt begins. Let's go!"
