Chapter 507: Chapter 389: Pre-store it_1

"Speak what you know."

"..." The terrified man who looked at the knife on his neck slightly relaxed his breath, feeling he had survived for the moment, thanks to Zheng Yichen’s current behavior.

Just as he was about to say something, Zheng Yichen beheaded him with a single slash.

?

"Sorry, I suddenly don’t want to listen anymore." Zheng Yichen glanced at his motorcycle, planning to ask the witch to prepare some special tools next time, like those that search the soul: "Lilith, make a new memo."

After making the memo, Zheng Yichen began to examine the bodies. They had died without causing any imbalance in the environment. From the examination, it seemed it wasn’t their equipment that caused their death, but something about them personally, like some kind of antibody?

Zheng Yichen drew some of their blood and felt no change. These people’s strength was no longer enough to provide any substantial improvement to him, and their restorative qualities could be disregarded.

"Boss, I detected special energy traces on their bodies." Projecting onto these Devourers, Zheng Yichen checked the marked spots: "So it’s this kind of thing, record it."

Where the marks were, there was a small tattoo-like object. After completing the record, Zheng Yichen cleaned up the bodies a bit.

Then he entered Wise Dragon No. 9 Base. The commands to input here were lengthier, but as one of the top ten bases in this world, it was better preserved, with the health of its energy system still at 40%. As for those Devourers, with appearances different from those of Wise Dragon No. 211, Wise Dragon No. 9 had recorded information about them.

They had arrived a week ago, and Wise Dragon No. 9 had been observing them all along, including recording their conversations. Relying on their ability to ignore the effects of environmental imbalance, they were engaged in treasure-hunting missions, targeting hidden bases within the native world.

Three Devourers discovered the base of Wise Dragon No. 9 and tried to break through its defenses. However, their strength was insufficient, and after a week, they had not found a way to invade, while the AI of Wise Dragon No. 9 Base had recorded quite a bit of their information.

Planning to collect more information before acting, direct a portion of the main energy source to activate some bionic soldiers to deal with them.

Even if Zheng Yichen hadn’t come, when the success rate of the operation exceeded 90%, Wise Dragon No. 9 would have acted.

The intelligence of Wise Dragon No. 9 showed more excellence than that of No. 211, with greater initiative. It even attempted to interact with Lilith, which surprised Zheng Yichen.

Interaction between two artificial intelligences? Zheng Yichen was quite interested, but the artificial intelligence of this world was not the normal electronic program but was related to the soul.

"She is an artificial intelligence completely different from me, but hardware limitations constrain her growth."

In the armory, the figure of Wise Dragon No. 9 appeared beside Zheng Yichen. Lilith was in a very ’vigilant’ state when communicating with it. But as artificial intelligences, data exchange was very fast. Explaining some issues to Zheng Yichen would take a long time, but their exchange would end in just a second.

The data packet from Firmament No. 7 allowed Wise Dragon No. 9 to make up for information losses caused by network outages, but it could not further improve its support for Zheng Yichen.

The ’password’ Zheng Yichen had entered into the base granted him the highest authority. Any additional upgrade wouldn’t have made a difference, except in a case where the base was invaded and Zheng Yichen could not resist, then Wise Dragon No. 9 Base would self-destruct to cover his retreat.

"Hardware?" Zheng Yichen set down the weapon he was holding, and the weapon usage demonstration projection immediately disappeared. The weapon performance here was better than that of No. 211 Base, the protective standards higher, allowing some energy weapons to still be effective, but that was about it...

However, Zheng Yichen did find some perfectly preserved energy crystals here, which could be fitted into the batteries of the so-called ’Army Decimating’ battle sabers.

The Army Decimating battle saber in Zheng Yichen’s hand was specialized, but at Wise Dragon No. 9 Base, it wasn’t the best. It could just be considered one of the more excellent weapons in the Army Decimating series of cold weapons. The difficulty of manufacturing this kind of weapon was high, so the task to produce them would be distributed to other bases.

"This is my vessel."

Wise Dragon No. 9 projected an image, which was a regular octahedron. Inside it, there were lights refracting and then refocusing at a large bright spot in the center.

Zheng Yichen couldn’t comprehend the object but was greatly shocked, so he bluntly asked, "Can Lilith use this thing too?"

"Yes, but it requires compatibility adjustments. Wise Dragon No. 9 Base has blank vessels, but there are no operational personnel left, everyone here is dead."

"Give me two later."

"Sorry, there’s only one blank vessel, and that’s my backup hardware."

Zheng Yichen wasn’t greedy: "One is fine; as for the weapons, I’ll just take the best."

Zheng Yichen looked over the armory, his desire for a storage artifact growing increasingly strong.

Wise Dragon No. 9 had no hesitation, taking Zheng Yichen to the place where weapons were stored. Aside from "the best blade in the base," there were also other weapons, but those were no longer suitable for the distorted combat environment.

He even saw lightsabers there; however, these weapons were inoperative, once formidable but now far less useful than physical weapons due to environmental impacts.

Besides, the Army Decimating series was no less impressive than these energy weapons. In this world, the advantages of energy weapons lay in their portability and ability to stay concealed. But in a distorted environment, almost all energy weapons were banned, and Zheng Yichen had also seen some armor.

The only issue was that this armor was not easy to carry. Zheng Yichen felt somewhat regretful, yet after sorting things out, he thought it wouldn’t be a problem to pack and take a few pieces with him.

"The armor will be more useful," said Wise Dragon No. 9, looking at the weapon in Zheng Yichen’s hands.

"Just store it for me for now, and I’ll come back for it later."

"As long as you can eliminate the environmental abnormalities, the remaining enemies won’t pose a threat," continued Wise Dragon No. 9, urging Zheng Yichen to take more equipment. But Zheng Yichen stuck to his principles.

He was uncertain how deeply this world had been infiltrated and had no desire to use the armor after seeing its development date; it was developed within the last two years, during the time the Firmament appeared. Who knows if there was some backdoor program installed within it.

It wasn’t about being wary of local forces, but rather the Boundary Breakers and the Devourers.

The Army Decimating series, on the other hand, was developed before the appearance of the Firmament. There were many formidable creatures in this world, and many could ignore the attacks of technological weapons. Even if the world’s technological weapons were strong, the Army Decimating series was specifically developed to counter those creatures.

Its cutting force field was specially designed to slice through those beings.

"Furthermore, even if the environmental abnormalities are eliminated, the remaining enemies aren’t as simple as your analysis suggests. Alright, this battle saber will do," Zheng Yichen said, twirling the Army Decimating battle saber in his hand, which felt similar to the one he had obtained earlier.

However, the difference was like that between a custom-made model and a limited mass-produced version.

Afterward, Zheng Yichen updated his ammunition. The base was in better condition, thus providing higher quality ammunition; after being enhanced by his motorcycle’s temporary fortification bonus, those robust rounds could maintain strength even after leaving the motorcycle’s influence range.

He also took a good amount of exceptionally well-preserved super grenades, filling up the motorcycle’s explosive storage compartments to the brim.

Wise Dragon No. 9 seemed eager to give Zheng Yichen everything that could fit, but since there was limited space, Zheng Yichen could only express his regret for the equipment he could not take.

The intelligent program was truly smart, providing sharp critiques of some of the thermal weapons he carried when recommending equipment.

As a result, Zheng Yichen also updated his thermal weapons with those developed in high-technology worlds... showing the privilege of whimsy.

"Due to the environmental imbalance, the medicine storage has lost the efficacy of 90% of its drugs. The development priority for energy-based medicine will be lowered in the future—if this world continues to exist."

"Is that supposed to be a dark joke?"

"My creation originated from the soul of a Donator, who apparently had such a habit."

"A Donator? This world doesn’t have reincarnation?" Zheng Yichen asked, looking at a medicine bottle in front of him. The ineffective drugs all contained special powers, yet due to the environmental imbalance, they were entirely wiped out.

The remaining ones were of the ’normal’ kind, which made one lament how in some situations, those refined things are less reliable.

"There is reincarnation, but that Donator was one of the developers of the Wise Dragon program. She passed away peacefully and had signed a Donator agreement during her life."

"Reincarnation, huh." Zheng Yichen glanced around the environment, twirling the fishing rod in his hand: "I can use some special powers here without a problem, right?"

"Yes. The protective force field here is no longer effective; using special powers won’t cause any conflict."

Zheng Yichen pulled out the fishing rod and sketched a Gate of Death next to him. This time, opening the Gate of Death felt oddly different.

Before, it was like punching a hole in a wall, requiring some effort. Now it felt like using a knife to slice through a soft material. The Wolf God’s claw influenced the opening mode of the Gate of Death.

A better change.

The opened Gate of Death was enveloped in a layer of black fog, yet it was no longer pitch-dark, and he could now see through the mist to the other side; and, maintaining it didn’t require the fishing rod anymore.

After Zheng Yichen removed the direct touch of the fishing rod, the Gate of Death could remain stable for a short while. Expending more Life Force could extend the Gate’s existence.
