Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 1. Murder in the Secret Room of the Tavern in Slag Town

"Ding"

With the rough sound of scrap iron wind chimes, the door of the tavern in a remote place was pushed open. The trapdoor welded with scrap iron pipes was poorly made, and it made a harsh friction sound when pushed open by stained hands.

The sound startled the only customer in the tavern at that afternoon, but the tavern owner was nowhere to be seen receiving customers behind the shabby bar.

Just as the visitor was standing at the door and looking around, a rude voice sounded from the corner by the window:
"Hey, you, scavenger, come here!"

"me?"

The tired visitor turned his head. Although he was dissatisfied with the fact that this guy called him a "beggar", considering his miserable condition after trudging through the desolate and uninhabited land for three days, judging from his terrible appearance alone, he would definitely be fully qualified for the promising career of "scavenger" by changing his job on the spot.

"You're hungry, aren't you? You can hardly walk."

The rude guest sitting in the corner smelled a bit of alcohol. He was dressed like a cowboy and knocked on the table and said:
"Look, I have food here. Old Taff's cooking is not good enough to feed pigs, but I don't think you'll mind. Want to come over? It's rare for me to be kind."

Indeed, the tired man saw the large portion of fried rice on the table at a glance. Perhaps in order to cover up the poor cooking skills, a lot of oil was generously added, making the pile of rice grains look greasy and appetizing.

He swallowed and walked over with his exhausted body.

The worn-out shoe on his left foot made a squeaking sound, while his right foot was simply barefoot, leaving unclear footprints on the floor. However, when he walked to the table, he realized that this kindness was just a "trap."

The generous man in front of him was holding a classic-looking but ridiculously large-caliber revolver in his hand, aiming it at his heart.

But that's not the most important thing.

The tired man stared at the gunman in front of him, and after a few seconds he said in a gloomy voice:

"You have needles stuck in your body. Is this some weird performance art?"

"Don't worry about that."

The cowboy sitting on the chair waved his hand nonchalantly. This action caused the strange syringe in his chest to vibrate twice, but the orange-yellow liquid inside was still steadily injected into his chest bit by bit. Maybe it was his heart.

"sit down!"

The cowboy ordered, and the tired guest sat down on the chair obediently, and heard the other party say:
"My name is Lao Wang, what's yours?"

"Zhou Ke."

The tired traveler answered, his eyes fixed on the gun barrel swaying from side to side and the fried rice on the table that was posing and "tempting" him.

"Zhou Ke? Are you kidding? Is there really someone who uses this as a name? Do your parents have any objections to you?"

Old Wang, who seemed a little weird, laughed out loud, leaving Zhou Ke with a helpless look on his face.

Obviously, this is not the first time he has encountered such "name bullying", but he does not think it is the malice of his parents or fate. After all, how can loving parents who can combine their father and mother's surnames to name their son be bad people?

"Okay, Zhou Ke, let's play a game."

Lao Wang grabbed the wine glass and drank the wine in it. Zhou Ke noticed that this guy's eyes were full of bloodshot, and his breathing became heavier and heavier, like a wild beast with bared fangs and claws, and like something was really awakening in his body.

He suspected it might be because of the syringe in the guy's chest.

"Old Taff is out to pick up the goods. He will be back soon, and I will kill him as soon as he comes back!"

Lao Wang took the bottle and poured a glass of wine for Zhou Ke, but his hands were shaking so much that he spilled half of the glass.

It was not known whether it was due to anger or excitement, but as bloodshot became more and more evident in his eyes, he forgot himself and explained his "murder plan" to the homeless man he met for the first time.

The effect of the drug made the muscles in his arms swell up, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm gonna kill old Taff and all his guys, rip their guts out and decorate this damn place, then go into town from here and kill everyone I meet! It's a pity that Old Joe's precious daughter is not in town, but that doesn't matter, the poor girl will look great when she gets back and sees all this.

Don't tremble or be afraid. This gun and these bullets are not for them. Not every bad person deserves a bullet.

Come and eat.

Eat a few bites first, you look hungry."

Zhou Ke glanced at Lao Wang, who he had identified as a "social psychopath", then looked at the gun he had placed on the table, and finally looked at the fried rice he had pushed in front of him.

He sighed, analyzed the situation with his hungry brain, picked up the spoon, and said:

"I know the rules. I've heard your great plan, which means I'll replace that old Taff as the first person to die. So, are you going to make me die a glutton?"

He put a large spoonful of fried rice into his mouth. The strange taste that burst out in his mouth made Zhou Ke want to bite off his tongue. The smell of gutter oil that had been passed through at least three hands made him want to vomit, so he complained:
"You're right. This thing is so ugly that it's not even suitable for feeding pigs!"

But his body and his stomach were protesting, they needed food and energy, so Zhou Ke forced himself to swallow and ate another large spoonful.

"No, you really eat it!"

When he raised his head, as expected, he saw Lao Wang raising his gun and aiming at him again.

The guy's facial muscles were twisted like a devil, even his canine teeth were exposed, saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth, his eyes were completely filled with bloodshot, and the medicine in the syringe in his chest was at the last level.

If this is a cool "second transformation", then this should be the scene when the invincibility frame of the transformation ends.

"boom"

The gun was not fired, but was thrown in front of Zhou Ke.

"pick up!"

Lao Wang said to him with a wild animal roar:
"Pick it up. I'm going to shoot you in the head. There's only one bullet in it. If you survive, I'll let you go!"

"It's a liar."

Zhou Ke cursed in his heart but maintained a numb and calm expression on his face.

He picked up the gun under Lao Wang's gaze. The latter swallowed his saliva abnormally, his breathing became heavy again, and he seemed to be looking forward to seeing something explode in front of his eyes.

He had already made up his mind that if Zhou Ke disobeyed, he would smash his head and hold a "welcome party" for old Taf with his blood.

Zhou Ke looked at the gun. The madman in front of him, who had "swollen" a circle, didn't seem to be worried at all that he would shoot him with the gun. If he resisted, he would die miserably.

But if you don't resist
"Snapped"

The gun was thrown back and landed right in front of Lao Wang.

The latter's bottle was shattered by his five fingers, and he stood up and was about to strangle the homeless man who didn't give him face, but when he was about to do so, he heard Zhou Ke shout:
"Give me five! If you want to gamble, let's gamble big. Choosing one out of six is boring. Choosing five out of six is exciting. But if I survive this, you have to let me go."

"good good good good!"

Lao Wang raised his fists. Before the berserk drug took effect, he already felt as if he had turned into an omnipotent "God".

I just need to wait a few more minutes for the drug to fully release its effects, and then I can kill my way from one end of the town to the other.

Zhou Ke's request was like a bucket of hot oil poured on the burning fire of his heart, making Lao Wang reveal a ferocious smile. He suddenly felt that the homeless man in front of him was not so annoying. If he could really survive, perhaps he should consider sparing his life. After all, the "feat" he was about to perform also needed someone to spread it.

"Assemble it yourself! Hurry up!"

Lao Wang threw out a handful of large bullets from his pocket. Zhou Ke picked up the gun, opened the magazine, and stuffed four bullets into it as Lao Wang watched with heavy breathing, making it exactly five including the original bullet.

Zhou Ke took a look at the cylinder, turned it and rotated it, then flicked it gently.

With a click, the magazine returned to its place. He reached out and pulled down the hammer. He stood up, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at his temple.

"shot!"

Lao Wang roared with a dry mouth.

His temples were bulging as the effect of the drugs was taking effect, and it seemed that he might have some kind of hallucination, causing the world before his eyes to turn red.

"shot!"

he shouted again.

Zhou Ke let out a long breath, put his finger on the trigger, closed his eyes and counted down, then stepped back, aimed, and fired.

"boom"

The recoil of this damn thing was amazing, and it almost jumped up and hit him in the face.

It was impossible to miss the target when shooting at such a close distance, not to mention that Zhou Ke did not aim at the head but the heart.

The syringe shattered under the impact of the bullet, and Lao Wang took a few steps back as if he had been punched, but then he raised his head and grinned with that hideous face like a devil. It was obvious that this homeless man was an ignorant guy who didn't know that bullets could not stop the angry biochemical warriors.

In that case, let the massacre begin!

"Roar!"

He roared and pounced forward, but at the same time, a cold, hard, long object was stuffed into his mouth. His chewing reaction made him bite the barrel of the gun subconsciously. At that moment, he even felt that he could bite the object to pieces, and then
"Bang, bang, bang"

A few seconds later, Zhou Ke looked at the still twitching corpse at his feet. He was a little puzzled. This guy was shot with three bullets of a caliber large enough to kill a tiger, but only half of his skull was opened?
Are the lunatics in this damn place so hard-headed?

"My family, who would understand? I became crazy on the third day after crossing over. I became so upset just because of a meal, Chao."

Zhou Ke pulled out a chair and sat at the table, muttering something to himself.

He is too tired.

The shooting and the adrenaline rush had exhausted his last bit of strength. He put the blood-stained gun aside, picked up the spoon and started eating.

When the food entered his stomach, he couldn't help but recall the scene of shooting and blood. Should he lie down beside the corpse and vomit to show his "normality"?
After all, others said that there are always some strange reactions when killing someone for the first time.

But for me, the only feeling that came to my mind from the scene just now seemed to be that I couldn't suppress the recoil of the gun.

"Well, I need to exercise."

Zhou Ke was thinking so, and then he heard rude curses and footsteps. He frowned, tried hard to swallow the unpalatable meal in his mouth, picked up the blood-stained gun again, and walked towards the door.

Someone is coming, what a nuisance!

After a few minutes
"Which blind bastard dares to come to my territory?"

"boom"

The rude curse had not even finished its last few syllables before it was forced to end by a heavy blow from a shameless sneak attack from behind. The opponent staggered and the shotgun in his hand fell out, but was picked up by Zhou Ke's quick eyes and hands. So when the short, fat, gray-haired middle-aged man in front of him stood up, two guns and three gun barrels were aimed at him.

The good news is that not everyone here is a pervert like Lao Wang, at least the tavern owner in front of him is very normal. He immediately raised his hands and saw the body under the table not far away, which made him shudder with his naked eyes.

"I ask questions and you answer. Nod when you understand."

Zhou Ke had never experienced the legendary profession of "serial killer" and he lacked experience, but this did not prevent him from learning the basic procedures of this industry from various messy channels in his previous life.

At this time, with the "double firepower" of two guns, every word he said seemed so weighty.

The tavern owner nodded frantically.

"What's your name and where is this place?"

"Taff, this is Slagtown."

"Very good, Mr. Taff, next question, if I tell you that the body you saw and the gun in my hand were both accidents, would you believe it?"

Zhou Ke tried to use a gentle tone to say this, even though he himself did not believe it.

Boss Taft was obviously confused, but when he saw the double firepower in Zhou Ke's hand, he nodded sincerely and said:
"As for accidents, haha, I know about accidents. There are accidents everywhere in the Bad Land. This is obviously Zhuo. I can't make it up anymore!

Don't kill me, I'll keep it a secret!"

"I'm really not. Oh, never mind."

Seeing the other party's horrified eyes, Zhou Ke wanted to explain but could only sigh and say:

"I was very hungry just now, and I found this place just to meet a kind person to solve my dinner problem, but this, um, hot-tempered Lao Wang insisted on playing a little game of 'accumulating strength' with me, and said that if I won, he would solve my dinner problem.

The tragedy just happened. I just wanted to eat something and had no intention of causing any trouble.

If you have surveillance here."

"Who would install something like that in their store that could betray them at any time? Especially in this damn place without any physical firewall protection."

Old Taff complained when he heard Zhou Ke's explanation. Perhaps he realized that Zhou Ke really had no intention of hurting anyone, so he couldn't help but say:

"But you actually know about 'surveillance'. It seems that you are really a delicate 'down-and-out city dweller'. Wait, what's in your left hand!

I've seen that, people in the city use that.

The Polis have firewall entities, they are not afraid of viruses that will make the machines crazy."

As he said this, he looked Zhou Ke up and down in front of him.

From old Taft's perspective, the guy in front of him who was suspected to be the murderer was dressed in rags, covered in blood, and didn't even have a pair of shoes, but his clothes were definitely not the "mixed style" of a scavenger. It was clearly visible that he was wearing a full set of blue tights. He only looked so terrible because he had experienced so much.

To top it all off, there was a square black device strapped to the guy's raised left arm.

A few years ago, while out on an outing, Old Taff met an Acholi researcher from the City State District in the Snake State's territory, and the other party also had a similar thing in his hand.

"Are you really from the City-State District?"

He asked in doubt.

This sentence made Zhou Ke blink his eyes, then he lowered the gun and said in a subtle tone:
“Well, I could be.

But that's not the point. The guy called Lao Wang just gave himself an injection and was saying some crazy stuff like 'If you don't let me live, no one will have a good life'. I saw the muscles on his face become very ferocious, his eyes were flashing red, and he was so excited that he seemed like he was going to have a 'second transformation'. To be honest, it was pretty cool.

But the roulette he made me play was more dangerous than you might imagine.

It’s not one out of six, it’s five out of six!

I don't want to gamble on the odds. There are only a few decisions I can make in this situation. This is just self-protection. So are you willing to believe that all this is a misunderstanding?"

"You said Lao Wang gave himself an injection?"

Old Taft no longer cared about the facts.

After hearing what Zhou Ke said, he immediately rushed over and squatted beside the body to check. He soon found the broken syringe next to the body, put it under his nostrils and sniffed it. The pungent smell made his face change suddenly.

This is an injection that induces biochemical frenzy, a banned item in the Badlands, a favorite of thugs, and a carnival cake for the Corpse Shredder.

Blanch!
"This madman! He was unlucky and drew a death lottery. He knew he couldn't come back, so he planned to do something big. He wanted to do this on my territory. It seems that his first target will be me.

You bastard! Good thing you died. "

The tavern owner stood up cursing and kicked the corpse. Although it seemed like he was venting his anger, his action was full of guilt.

He turned around and smiled at Zhou Ke, saying:
"You killed him, which saved me. Don't worry, kind young man. I will definitely put in a good word for you when the sheriff comes over."

"What? I walked in the wilderness for three days and witnessed five shootings, at least six people were killed, and you told me there is a sheriff here?"

Zhou Ke was obviously surprised for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said:
"So, here, 'sheriff' is actually a position responsible for collecting corpses, right?"

"Ha, that's funny, but it's not good here! You have to leave quickly! It will be too late if you are late!"

Old Taf was about to make a joke when he suddenly thought of something. His face changed and he pushed Zhou Ke to tell him to leave quickly. Zhou Ke was a little confused. Since the misunderstanding was resolved and Old Taf was willing to be a witness, why did he have to leave quickly?

Is there something here that I don’t understand?

"It's too late to explain!"

Boss Taf knew that the matter related to Lao Wang could not be explained in a few words, so he pushed Zhou Ke to repay him for saving his life. However, as soon as they reached the door, they heard a hoarse roar from outside:

"Damn it, old Taff, are you crazy? It's not even midnight yet, why are you closing the door? Open the door! Your sheriff is here to ask for a drink."

"Swish"

Old Taft's cheeks were suddenly covered with cold sweat.

He looked at Zhou Ke helplessly, and Zhou Ke looked at him speechlessly.

"Well, I said I didn't call him here, do you believe me?"

Boss Taft was about to cry, but Zhou Ke nodded calmly and said:

"Don't be nervous. Of course I believe you. After all, you look like an honest businessman. Now tell me why I can't see other people and have to leave quickly?"

"You killed Lao Wang, and a vacant spot for the 'fighter' was created. No one in the town is willing to take it, and you are an outsider with no background and you killed someone. What do you think will happen? If you don't leave now, you will have to leave your life here."

Old Taff was so anxious that he was running around. Seeing the tavern sheriff approaching the tavern, he took another look at Lao Wang's body. A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. Then he gritted his teeth and said to Zhou Ke:

"I'll open the door, you knock him out, and I'll tell you the rest slowly."

"Hmm? Considering that I saved you, you won't cheat me, right? Boss Taff."

"Of course not! Because if the matter of Lao Wang's death lottery is exposed, I will also die. Chao, we are now grasshoppers on the same rope."

　Ah, the sound of me releasing a new book came from the falling leaves. Hello everyone, while some brothers have been urging for updates day and night, the new book is here, so please vote and support it!

　　The reading data during the new book period is very important, which directly determines the future and direction of the book.

As for how many chapters will be added before the book is put on the shelves, it depends on the early performance of the book. Many brothers hope to put a hundred chapters on the shelves. Well, I want to do it too, but I can't do anything because I'm old. Brothers, please work hard to get the data of the new book good, and then we will try to give you 50 chapters to make it exciting.
