Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 103 36. Great! Badland V finally found his psychopathic silver hand
Director Mulan is undoubtedly a "god".

He used a statement that sounded quite perfect to show Zhou Ke his expertise in the field of "mysticism", so Zhou Ke naturally invited him to his base for a chat, and the heartbroken middle-aged man who had just been "abandoned" by his seventh lover readily agreed.

He changed into an artistic top and rather flirty leather pants, and covered the bad wound on his forehead with a pumpkin hat. He disguised himself and followed Zhou Ke and D-4 out of the bustling Pegasus Cinema, and slipped away amid the roars of a group of excited fans who shouted "RNM! Give us our money back!"

Apparently, fans didn't approve of the cheesy ending to the new Wild Wild West movie.

They don't think that a little-known wastelander can escape from the full-powered Tiger King. How dare they put such a stupid plot on the gimmick of "adapted from true events"? This must be a stupid ending deliberately modified by a stupid director in order to make money from the sequel.

"You see, these days, nobody believes the truth anymore."

In the car leaving the cinema, Mulan leaned against the window, smoking his retro pipe, and complained to Zhou Ke, who was sitting in the passenger seat, with a look of pain on his face:

"They all thought that I must have modified the ending of this incident and used artistic methods to beautify your story, but in fact, I was still conservative. I didn't dare to add the explosive truth of old Merck's betrayal into the plot. After all, no one would believe that a psychic master who had served the Tiger State for many years would suddenly change sides.
In this evil land, faith has long been a forgotten concept.

Whether good or bad, people no longer believe in things that can give them spiritual power.

They no longer pray not because they are corrupt, but because they have seen too much despair. "

"Don't discuss these in-depth social phenomena with me, Mulan."

Zhou Ke curled his lips and said:
"I am not well-educated and I don't like politics. I have no interest in discussing human nature. I have already appreciated those things enough, so let's talk about you. How can a former war hero, a veteran artist with both virtue and art, who has been famous for more than 30 years by cheating and deceiving, be a mystic behind the scenes?
This doesn’t match your experience and personality.”

"You say I'm an artist, I'm very happy, but you say I'm a swindler, I'm not convinced, I don't want to argue with you, an uneducated and uncultured guy. As for the mysticism, hey, I like these mysterious things, I've liked them since I was a child."

Regarding this topic, Director Mulan explained:

“When I was little, my family lived in a small town near the central city. Of course, at that time, this was just a supporting town for the starship base of the Mother Planet Federation. My parents were both staff members of the base. They were very busy every day, so I could only find friends on my own.

It just so happened that the old neighbor at the time was a folklorist. At least that’s what he called himself.”

"Oh, a classic profession dealing with indescribable things! May I ask if your good neighbor is a graduate of the University of Michigan? He has managed to live to old age with such an identity. It seems that he is at least a legendary investigator with a crowbar in his hand and a dozen old seals in his bag."

Zhou Ke made a joke that only he could understand.

Although Mulan didn't understand the joke, it didn't prevent him from judging Zhou Ke's teasing intention, so he grinned, exhaled a rather spicy smoke ring, and said:

"That old guy is always talking nonsense. When he gets drunk, he always tells me all kinds of unsolved mysteries that have been passed down from ancient civilizations for many years, such as sea monsters in the sea, alien spaceship wreckage hidden in the Federation's hands, and the identities of senior executives have been replaced by lizard people. Such nonsense.

Most of it was just bragging, but there was one thing the old guy predicted that was quite accurate.

When I was a kid, he told me that psychic powers were real!
He also said that he had once participated in a secret organization that specialized in discussing the use of psychic energy. I thought that was just bragging, but three years after the old man's death, psychic energy was confirmed to exist! But before I could find a way to study it, the war that led to the collapse of the old civilization began.

I enlisted in the army, and then witnessed with my own eyes how the powerful Federation of Mother Planet miraculously lost control of the planet within a year. After personally experiencing the scene where my comrades went crazy and turned into monsters under the moonlight, it was normal for me to become a staunch mystic. "

"Wait! Your neighbor said that he was involved in a secret organization related to psychic powers before they were confirmed?"

Zhou Ke asked in surprise:
"That is to say, psychic power already existed before the collapse of the old civilization?"

"I do not know."

Mulan sighed and said:
"After the collapse of the old civilization, I also tried to track down the organization that the old neighbor mentioned, but found nothing. It seemed that it was just a dream he had after getting drunk. If there really was such an organization, they would not have left any traces.

For this purpose, I have been to the Badlands many times to look for wild psionicists outside the Acholi Consortium system, but I have not been able to get any valuable clues from them.

So, either the old man is bragging, or
Well, this may sound a little crazy, but the fact is, I think there may be something weird wrong with the world itself.

Certain things related to psionic energy have been deliberately "forgotten" or "concealed". I am sure that the old civilization knew much more about psionic energy and chaos than we do now!"

His words made Zhou Ke silent.

Director Mulan raised his eyebrows when the latter did not laugh at him at first. From Zhou Ke's silence, the mystic realized some unique meaning.

He put down his pipe and stared at Zhou Ke, expecting the answer he wanted to hear.

Ten seconds later, Zhou Ke looked at him and said:

"To be honest, a few hours ago, I came to the same conclusion as you from the remains of a senior researcher from the Acholi Consortium. That elder, who is absolutely respectable in terms of academics, told me not to believe any records related to the old civilization left over from the Bad Land era.

She is also suggesting that the public's perception of the 'past' has been altered."

"Ha! I knew it! I'm not crazy, it's this fucked up world that's wrong!"

Mulan's eyes lit up, he patted his coquettish black leather pants, and said excitedly:
"The Acholi Consortium is obviously hiding something that cannot be made public, so they monitored me like crazy for a period of time. They openly and covertly prevented me from investigating further, forcing me to obey their rules and bury my head in the sand like everyone else.

Fortunately, I have disguised myself well over the years and have not fallen victim to their murderous acts."

"Well, the fact that you were not killed probably has nothing to do with your disguise. Although it hurts your heart to say this, the fact is that you are still far from the 'truth', great director."

Zhou Ke snorted and said:
"I have already met two scholars who were wiped out by the Acholi Consortium because they came into contact with the 'truth'. However, you are still alive and well in this system and can speak freely. This can only prove that your 'professional level' in mysticism is a little too far behind those real explorers.

They are looking for the truth, and you are more like playing a game."

"Hey, you're being too direct and a little hurtful, buddy. We're just ordinary acquaintances meeting for the first time. Can you have some sense of boundaries?"

Mulan waved his fist in dissatisfaction and scolded:
"I obviously have my understanding too!"

"Oh, so here's the question, do you want to hear the hurtful truth? Or do you want me to be like that brainless chick next to you and praise your greatness all day long?"

Zhou Ke snorted and said:
"Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife! I'm just telling you that the 'truth' exists, and whether you are willing to follow me to find it is your decision. But I advise you not to do that, after all, you still have a daughter."

"whispering sound"

Speaking of Mu Fang, even the bohemian middle-aged man became depressed.

Indeed, his daughter is the weak spot of this self-righteous guy, but Zhou Ke is curious about something else. He glanced at Mulan and said:
"The elegant girl Mu Fang looks almost nothing like you. Is she really your daughter?"

"You son of a bitch, don't you dare question the relationship between me and my daughter!"

Mulan cursed:
"What's wrong with me? In your eyes, someone as tasteful as me can't even find a woman willing to bear my child? You're going too far."

"With such a big reaction, it seems there is indeed something wrong."

Zhou Ke showed an expression that looked like he deserved a beating and said:
"Let's exchange secrets. I'll tell you about the two 'truth seekers' to satisfy your expectations and desires for these things.

You also have to tell your secrets in exchange.

This will help deepen the trust between us in a short period of time. I will not hide it from you. I am now facing a problem related to psychic power. Weng Mingyue suggested that I seek your help. He is a very reliable person in serious matters. He said that if you can help, you must have this ability, so I will hire you.

OK? "

"Then you speak first!"

Mulan held up his pipe, put on a great director's posture, crossed his arms and said:
"I want to hear first if what you have to say is good enough to exchange for my secret. Don't be fooled by my appearance, I am not even a psychic, but I am actually a powerful person.

You have been in the evil land, does Jiubang know?
I am an 'honorary member' of that group of evil-land psykers! I often chat and laugh with Ms. Evil Eagle. Among all the ordinary people who are not psykers, you probably can't find anyone who knows more about psykers than me."

Mullan's boasting proves part of the guy's outstanding character.

Although egomaniacs are always annoying, it also proves that this guy does have a wide range of friends. Zhou Ke had heard before that this weird artist often went to the Badlands to "collect materials" and his knowledge in this era was definitely one of the best.

It's probably not false that he boasted about having connections with Jiubang.

Weng Mingyue is a professional. That guy said that Mulan is a big shot in the field of mysticism, so this middle-aged man who likes to brag should be quite capable.

Before Zhou Ke started to tell the story, he also reminded:
"Don't blame me for not telling you. All factions of the Acholi Consortium have a very consistent attitude towards the 'truth'. Anyone who tries to find the truth will end up collapsing before they can ask. I've already gotten into a lot of trouble so I'm not afraid of this death threat, but you can still be saved.

If you listen to these things, there is no turning back.

I mean, you are a father after all, think more about your family before making a decision."

"Don't always threaten me with my daughter, Zhou Ke."

Mulan's expression also turned serious. The guy who had to wear sunglasses in the car waved his hand and said:
"My daughter is well protected. At least in the city-state area, anyone who dares to touch her will suffer a miserable fate."

"Oh, now I think I understand what you said."

Zhou Ke let out a strange laugh, and then as D-4 drove at a steady speed toward the Slag Bar at night, he told Mulan about Weng Yafen and Professor Qiao Sina.

The great director was a little skeptical at first, but as he listened his attitude changed.

From the initial state of listening to gossip, he turned into a state of obvious serious thinking. After Zhou Ke finished talking about Professor Qiao Sina's "suicide", Mulan fell into a long silence without saying a word.

Zhou Ke didn't urge him either.

He waited patiently for Mulan to bring out his "secrets" in exchange. "Something's not right around here, boss."

A few minutes later, D-4, who was driving, suddenly whispered:
"Silver Fox sent me a message that the surveillance system of the block we were about to pass was taken over a few seconds ago. It and its companions did not receive any action orders, but it suspected that the Flash Organization might have made some moves.

Want to take another route?"

"Everyone is about to take action. What's the point of changing the route? Get ready for battle. I'll make a phone call first."

Zhou Ke was not panicked at all.

He now had powerful "external aid", so he used his wisdom to dial a number. After a dozen seconds, he heard Moni's weak voice asking:
"What's up? I'm busy."

"I know you've been holding it in for seven years, but at least don't be so crazy."

Zhou Ke sighed and said:
"I might have been ambushed here. I'll ask the big sister who's eating a hot dog on you to go out and move around. I've sent you the location."

"What are you thinking about?"

Moni complained:
"I didn't do what you thought. I'm here with Weng Mingyue. I just finished the second round of strengthening. My whole body is numb now. You didn't choose a good time. Amanda is being examined. Mingyue said her condition is worth studying.

I'll let her go over there, you be careful."

"Oh, remember to ask Mingyue to help you strengthen your kidneys."

Zhou Ke joked:
"Otherwise you'll have a hard time next time."

"Do I need to be told this? Why do you think I came here to be enhanced tonight?"

Moni also responded in a mean way:

"You know what a big steel cannon with upgraded firepower is? It's the kind that's super powerful. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to sleep first."

After the call was disconnected, Zhou Ke glanced at the still silent Mulan through the rearview mirror, reached out to take out the weapon from the secret compartment in the cockpit and loaded it, and then instructed Mulan:
"Don't get off the car for a while, just stay on it. You won't be able to handle the scene that follows."

"It's just an assassination. Don't think I haven't experienced it before."

Mulan shrugged it off.

However, a few minutes later, when he saw clearly what appeared on the block ahead, the experienced director's eyes widened in an instant.

"Fuck! A battlefield-level biochemical beast?"

He hurriedly pulled out a small pistol from his waist that looked more like a work of art than a weapon, and exclaimed:
"Who did you offend? How could you allow them to use such military weapons in the city? You must have offended them badly."

"Is not this nonsensical?"

When D-4 opened the car door and jumped out, Zhou Ke also put on the metal hunter mask and entered the sharpshooter mode. He said:

"I don't do those petty things. This is an advance warning. Director, if you really decide to join our group, this is the 'hot daily life' you will face in the future. But this should not be the work of the Shunguang Organization. They are not so petty.

This little scene is obviously a revenge by the Panis Group. "

Zhou Ke used the car door as a cover, looking at the shadow dogs and the mantis-like biological weapons rushing towards them in the dark block in front of him, he curled his lips and said:
"Mr. Roger has also learned to kill with a borrowed knife, but who are you looking down on? You couldn't take me down even with your psychics, and now you want to get rid of me with these scumbags. Aren't you looking down on me too much?"

"Annihilation protocol, activated!"

D-4 on the other side reacted more directly.

She moved her wrist, and plasma flames came out of her leg thrusters, pushing her into the group of beasts in front of her with her long skirt fluttering. With a flick of her hand and a drop of her knife, the shadow dog was chopped into pieces.

However, Zhou Ke had seen similar biochemical beasts in the Creedburg laboratory, and he knew that these things could sneak, so after shooting and killing a few strange birds that flew over, he changed into an assassin's mask and disappeared into the material world with a whoosh under Mulan's wide-eyed gaze.

A moment later, slaughtered shadow dogs were continuously thrown from the "spiritual world" into the material world.

This scene doesn't seem to pose any threat, but since the Panis Group has decided to take action, they will definitely not use only these cannon fodder biochemical beasts.

As new orders were issued, several weapons cabinets that had been hidden nearby were opened.

Biological hunters similar to the ferocious springtails were released. They made shrill cries and rushed towards the car. Mulan, who was hiding in the car, screamed when he saw them:

"Don't get into close combat with them! These explosive bugs will self-destruct. I've seen them fighting monsters at the border. Their body fluids are poisonous and can melt metal!"

"D-4, suppressive fire."

Zhou Ke immediately changed his battle plan.

He appeared on the roof, put on a metal mask, picked up the assault rifle and started firing long bursts. D-4 also retreated to the roof while spinning, entered suppression mode and opened the weapon bay on the back.

The first round of fire bombardment killed all the approaching banelings on the road. Logically speaking, such a large-scale fire battle would inevitably attract the intervention of mechanical police officers, but Wuneng's information control did not issue any warning.

It seems that the Panis Group is serious about this, and they are determined to kill the guy who has been causing them trouble time and time again in this remote neighborhood outside the second ring road.

"There's a flying machine approaching from the sky! Joker, it should be the opponent's airdrop. The real finale is about to appear."

Wu Neng screamed, causing Zhou Ke, who was shooting at a moving target, to look up and see a small aircraft removing its optical camouflage and then dropping a biological cabinet into the block.

The thing opened automatically after it hit the ground, and a large biochemical beast with a Ravasaur-like appearance rushed out of it. It was covered with a rather exaggerated layer of metal armor and had a "turret" on its back.

As soon as it rushed out, it fired a beam of light towards D-4, and then rushed towards Zhou Ke as fast as the wind. D-4, who was forced back, wanted to go forward to support but was desperately blocked by the other biochemical beasts. After more than a dozen poisonous explosive insects approached, they entered self-destruct mode and forcibly blocked D-4's support, isolating Zhou Ke and handing him over to the boss-level biological weapons to kill him alone.

That guy really lived up to everyone's expectations. With the first cross-cutting attack, he left a deep cut on the body of the bulletproof vehicle.

The brutal destructive power forced Zhou Ke to put on the "Resurrection Armor". Now he obviously couldn't deal with this thing that could charge into battle on the monster battlefield alone.

This thing can also breathe fire!
It howled and spewed flames at the dodging Zhou Ke, almost submerging the entire car. Zhou Ke hesitated whether to go forward and pull Mulan out of the car, but just as he was hesitating, he heard a loud bang. The biochemical beast that was spewing fire howled and shook its head and retreated, as if it was hit hard in the mouth by something.

It was more like a glutton who swallowed black garlic in one gulp.

"Do you really think I'm made of mud? Have you ever heard of the fame of the 'Silver Shotgun'? When I was fighting monsters, your dad was still a fertilized egg!"

Amid Mulan's roar, the guy rushed out of the car in a panic.

He first put out the flames on his body with a standard tactical roll, then raised his arms, and as Zhou Ke watched in surprise, his prosthetic arms unfolded, and four silver missile launchers popped out and fired at the biochemical beast in the face, then he activated the tactical response plug-in while jumping back.

The injection of built-in military stimulants made Mulan's eyes bloodshot and his breathing became heavy. Two large-caliber, short-barreled silver tactical shotguns hidden in his arm prosthesis jumped into his hands, and he continuously fired single-barreled bullets to repel the biochemical beast in front of him.

You know what, this scene is a bit like the Grim Reaper's ultimate move.

This old guy is actually a "reborn man", but it makes sense when you think about it. For an artist who dares to frequently go to the border of the occupied area to collect folk songs, it would be somewhat unreasonable for him not to have some unique skills.

History has proven countless times that making artists feel upset is a very dangerous thing.

Besides, he is a "war hero".

"Fuck! Don't just stand there and watch! Come up and help me! I'm running out of bullets."

Mulan screamed, and Zhou Ke stepped forward with a knife and teased:
"Isn't this just watching the famous silver shotgun show off its power? I even want to record this scene for you to use as a movie highlight. It's your highlight moment after all, isn't it?"

"Bullshit! This is an emergency measure! If you had told me that we would encounter attacks along the way, I would have at least brought a weapons box in advance."

Mulan sighed and said:
"Alas, I am old again. I could have eaten this kind of stupid stuff as breakfast bread back then!"

"That's enough. This thing is not something a single soldier can deal with."

Zhou Ke ruthlessly exposed his boasting, and after D-4 came over, the two of them cooperated and killed the leader-level biochemical beast within a minute.

Of course, all the damage was done by D-4, and Zhou Ke stepped forward to make up for it.

When the dangerous biochemical beast was killed, the aircraft above everyone's heads was about to evacuate, but just as it turned the corner and was about to take off, a shrill roar of a motorcycle was heard in front of them, and then, amid Mulan's exclamations, a heavy motorcycle "parkouring" on the roof rushed into the sky in a gravity-defying manner.

It was just like an arrow shot and hit the flying vehicle overhead. At that second, the motorcycle was flying in the air, and the handsome red-haired knight was drinking with one hand. The special style with the enchanting purple moon as the background stunned Mulan, the artist.

A few seconds later, a violent explosion sounded in the night sky, and the aircraft crashed into the deserted street amid billowing black smoke.

In the background of the burning fire, red-haired Ms. Amanda strode out in the gathering of wind and sand, carrying a small wine bottle. Amid the sound of spurs hitting the ground and the jumping of sparks, the drunken Amanda pushed down her cowboy hat, glanced at the embarrassed Zhou Ke, and said with a pout:

"That's it? I thought there was someone tough to deal with. Don't call me for such trivial matters in the future! Got it? Hey, you idiot in leather pants over there, you were peeking at my breasts and butt, right? You have good taste.

how?

You are wearing such sexy clothes, do you want to have sex?"
