Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 241 31. Change the course! Sailors, let the cowards return home

"Swish"

The speeding hovercraft braked and stopped at the entrance of the innermost research institute of Eden with a cool turn. The assistant of the governor of Eden rushed out with cold sweat on his forehead and was about to go in, but was stopped by two fully armed clone soldiers at the door.

"There is martial law here tonight. No one is allowed to approach."

The expressionless, bulky warrior said this in a calm tone, which made the assistant's eyes widen.

The person who could be Han Bin's assistant must not be stupid. Born in the Garden of Eden and receiving a good education, he naturally wouldn't do anything overbearing. He could only wipe his sweat while saying to the guard:
“I know that His Excellency the Archon has postponed all the work tonight because there must be something important going on here, but now the entire Garden of Eden is in chaos!

Almost all the compartments from the third ring to the ninth ring are being attacked by thugs from the evil land. Two-thirds of all strategic storage warehouses above level A have been occupied. Our war-class armed intelligent machines are unable to withstand the opponent's violent offensive.

Just five minutes ago, even the security management core lost contact with the management.
I must see Mr. Han Bin! Now! "

"There is martial law here tonight, no one is allowed to approach!"

The guard on the other side repeated it expressionlessly, looking like a robot.

But they are not!
Even if there were only two security guards assigned to guard the gate of a place like this, they were definitely the elite carefully selected by the Shunguang Organization. They could definitely understand how important and critical the information brought by the assistant was, but such a cold response at the moment meant that what they had received before was an absolute death order that could not be disobeyed.

"All right."

The assistant took a step back and stood outside the cordon.

His face was pale, but he was still making his last effort.

他 说:

"If you still can't understand, the purpose of that group of thugs is not just to disrupt the Garden of Eden or steal something! They are very familiar with the terrain here, and have now seized the connection points of the main body of the Garden of Eden. Not just one, but all the connection points are being violently invaded.

This means that there is a high probability that they want to disintegrate the Garden of Eden!
At this perilous moment when the Moon of Reproduction has already begun on the surface, they want to throw everyone in this space back to the surface to participate in the desperate war that will most likely destroy the Badlands Reservation.

I don't know why they do this, but I hope to get a specific instruction! Mr. Han Bin is the Archon of Eden Garden, and he has the responsibility to give us an instruction at this moment! "

The assistant's chest heaved.

He looked at the still indifferent guard. He stood there with some hope for one minute, two minutes, until five minutes later, when all hope turned into disappointment and regret. He sighed, reached out and took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and said:
"On the way here, a horrible thought came to my mind, a horrible conclusion that I thought was absolutely impossible to be true but could explain why all this was happening.

This was arranged, right?

Governor Han Bin was in the same group as the evil man who led the wastelanders into the Garden of Eden and set the city on fire! He had known what would happen tonight, and he even revealed all the weaknesses of the city to the other party himself.

How come those badland rubes are so familiar with the topography of the Garden of Eden? How come they can accurately find the locations of strategic warehouses that even the locals don't know about?
Did they bribe Han Bin?

But I can’t imagine what price they will have to pay to convince the Archon of Eden to hand over the future of his people to a group of thugs!

Han Bin!

Come out!
The city that you have led and protected for more than 30 years has become so chaotic now. This city is beyond salvation. It is about to fall into the evil land with despair and pain. The people here may not be able to survive in such a place for even ten minutes!

why!
When everyone is willing to follow your lead and everyone regards you as a hero, why the hell did you sell us out! What did that evil lunatic give you as payment for selling your soul? "

The painful and helpless voice started out as a calm rhetorical question, but in the end it turned into a howl of self-destruction. In anger, the middle-aged man once again crossed the line, but the next second he saw the guard in front of him raising his baton, which was shining with electric light.

The other party scolded coldly:
"There is martial law here tonight. No unauthorized persons are allowed to approach! Final warning!"

This scolding was no different from the previous two times, even the cold tone was exactly the same, but this third warning was like a whip with barbs, lashing the hot-blooded assistant hard, and all his questioning and anger were completely defeated at this moment.

He just stood outside the cordon in a daze, looking at the entrance of the research institute blocked by guards.

Behind him was the burning and chaotic Garden of Eden, but all this seemed to have no effect on the research institute in front of him.

Inside and outside are two different worlds, and at this moment this indifferent research institute is facing the cry and questioning of a desperate soul, and its silent self seems to have never had any intersection with this city in the past thirty-eight years.

Such cold reception was enough to dampen anyone's enthusiasm, not to mention that when the Archon had abandoned his duties tonight, this city that was falling into hell needed someone who could take up the responsibility.

The assistant wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He looked at the research institute in front of him with some hatred, turned around and wanted to go back to the hovercraft, but at this moment, he saw another car driving leisurely towards him.

A public hovercraft.

It is a public service transportation tool installed by Eden between the various sections. It is slow but runs smoothly and can carry many people. Although considering the current population density and technological content of Eden, this thing travels back and forth empty most of the time, but as part of the social service, it still runs between the various sections every day without complaint.

It is precisely these "details" that are unknown and almost unnoticed by anyone that support the "social order" of the Garden of Eden.

But at this moment, the "Eden Bus", which had not been full for at least twenty years, was now filled with people. It was so crowded that the distraught assistant even saw with his own eyes some people fighting and playing inside.

A white-haired lady was sitting in the driver's seat of the floating public transport, which was supposed to be driven intelligently. She was driving the vehicle in a very professional manner, while a hooded guy was leaning against the front row, smoking a cigarette carelessly on the bus.

Hey!
Asshole, please don't smoke in a public place like this, okay?

Can you have some quality?
Just like some kind of black humor, when a sky city was about to fall and was burning, this fully loaded bus that seemed to come out of a dream slowly stopped next to the assistant's floating car, and the door opened with some strange beeping sound.

The first one to jump down, little Acholi, adjusted his white tuxedo unhappily, and then glanced strangely at the assistant consul who was standing there like a fool.

He tilted his head in confusion and said:
"Hey, you, you are that someone, I can't remember his name for the moment, what are you doing here? Didn't you see that the Garden of Eden is burning? Go find someone to put out the fire!"

"What time is it? Stop giving orders blindly and hurry up! The people inside are waiting. If you miss the time, your sister will chop off your head!"

Before little Acholi could finish his words, he was pushed by Amanda who followed behind him, causing the Archon to curl his lips, shake his cool hairstyle and stride across the cordon.

As the assistant stared with wide eyes, the two guards who were blocking him made way for the group of strange-looking guys who were obviously covered in gunpowder.

Especially when he saw the snake man, who was obviously an evil boss, get out of the car with a hint of curiosity and swagger into the research institute with his three children and a granddaughter, the assistant could no longer hold back.

He grabbed Moni, who was looking around, and screamed:

"It's you! It's you who destroyed this city! How dare you do that?"

"Fuck! You didn't even pull the person in front of you, you just thought I was easy to bully so you pulled my clothes, right? See what you can do, you bully the weak and afraid of the strong!"

Boss Moni is here tonight with his wife to witness the "last night of the world's existence". He is here to die, so why would he care about this or that?
Seeing his assistant bullying him, he hit him with a big stick without saying a word.

This guy is now an ascender. Even though he is a low-rate "man-made" creature, he has such great strength that he can easily bully ordinary people. With one slap, he made the assistant lie down beside his car.

Moni rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to attack again, but was kicked on the butt by Zhou Ke, who was smoking a cigarette.

"What are you crazy about? Did I bring you here to let you bully others? Zhuo, you are just a country bumpkin from the Bad Land who can't change his bad temper, right? Why are you being so arrogant? Hurry up and get in!"

Zhou Ke cursed a few words, causing Moni to withdraw his fist in disappointment. Then, with Amanda's help, he entered the research institute cursing and showing no manners.

Zhou Ke looked at the assistant whose nose was bleeding. He clicked his tongue a few times and very gentlemanly handed a handkerchief to the other party to wipe the blood. He then took out a few consortium coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the other party's hand, saying to him:
"Brother, please move this car to the parking space. I don't want to be so rude and park randomly, but I'm in a hurry right now."

"you."

The assistant stared at Zhou Ke and said:
"I've seen you before! You've been to the Garden of Eden before and talked to Han Bin in his office! So, you brought these evil land people here? Why? What benefits did you give to Han Bin to make him sell his soul? Let you thugs burn, kill and loot in our city!

I just want to know the answer, tell me!
At least let me die with my eyes closed!"

"what?"

Zhou Ke couldn't understand his sad and angry tone.

Master Zhou turned around and looked at D-4. He said doubtfully:

"What? Did I give those guys orders to kill people? Why did this guy even use 'burn, kill, loot, and plunder'? This is a terrible accusation."

"Of course not, Master. Although the city looks chaotic, after Ms. Evil Eagle rewrote the instructions of the Eden War Machine, all citizens wandering the streets were 'escorted' back to their homes or emergency shelters."

D-4 said calmly:

"According to the surveillance that Your Excellency Wu Neng has taken over, although there were indeed some casualties in the early stages of the invasion, at this stage, the commanders of various forces are busy taking over the connection points of the various compartments of the Garden of Eden.

They have no time for burning, killing and looting.

Based on my hormone test of the assistant in front of me, he was so angry that he ignored some facts.

The situation is not as serious as it seems.

I assure you that everything is under control.”

"That's right. I said so. The Badlands Reservation, which is now under the veil of monsters, is in urgent need of these heavenly beings to go down and replenish manpower and material resources. How can such precious resources be destroyed by this mess?" Zhou Ke turned around and smiled at the angry assistant, saying:

“Don’t worry, sir, we have no intention of destroying the Garden of Eden, that would be too boring.

We're just going to take this city out of its rutted and uneventful fate, we're just going to put it on a cooler trajectory spiral, I mean, as the assistant to the Archon you must know what the Garden of Eden was designed for in the first place.

You were watching when the old civilization died thirty-eight years ago. Now it's the turn of the last ghost of the old civilization to lie back in the coffin. Shouldn't you step forward to see it off?

You came from the earth, so you must return to the earth.

Don't worry, we've got a plan.

At least you will be absolutely safe during the process of falling into the Badlands. I guarantee that you and 99% of the people in this city will have the opportunity to set foot on the Badlands with your own eyes. As for whether you can survive and see tomorrow's dawn, that is not something I can decide.

Oh, speaking of this, I also asked D-4 to compile a "Badlands Survival Guide" for you.

Look how good I am to you.”

Zhou Ke patted his assistant's shoulder with a smile, raised his foot and was about to step into the cordon but was stopped by the assistant.

He stared at Zhou Ke and said:

"Tell me! At least tell me how you convinced Han Bin to let this happen! I will fall into the evil land with this city. Maybe we have indeed evaded responsibility for so many years, maybe we really should be punished.

But I can't imagine why Han Bin would make such a cruel decision."

"he died!"

Zhou Ke looked at him and lost all his patience.

He reached out and grabbed the assistant's hand, pulling it down his collar little by little, and said to the middle-aged man with wide eyes:
"Han Bin died twenty-six years ago! Why do you and this cowardly city ask a restless dead soul to safeguard your future?

People's destiny should be in their own hands, and people should rely on themselves!
As for what price I paid to make Han Bin turn a deaf ear and dumb at this moment and even give me the green light, well, let me think about it, it must be a terrible price, it must be a price you can't imagine."

Zhou Ke stared at him as if he were a dead person.

他 说:

"I have exchanged myself for the fall of this paradise!
I sent myself to Han Bin's test bench just to see this city of cowards burn.

Fall!
Fall into the hell you have been avoiding for thirty-eight years!

As for whether you have failed in your duty or whether you have any difficulties, I'm sorry, I don't care and I don't care.

I just know it's not fair.

It's the apocalypse now, why should we still divide people into different classes?
I'm not happy about it, so you don't have to be happy either.

It's that simple.
Well, speaking of which, I suggest you stay within the inner ring."

Zhou Ke looked the assistant up and down, patted his shoulder with a weird smile and said:

"Only the third to ninth rings will fall back to the Badlands. The first and second rings will stay where they are to complete the final activation of the Sacred Baseline Project. Take my advice, buddy, and stay here."

After saying that, he turned around and strode into the research institute while humming a song, followed closely by D-4. When crossing the cordon, D-4 ejected a data storage device from his palm and gave it to the assistant who seemed to have a broken spine.

she says:

"The Badlands Survival Manual compiled by Mr. Zhou Ke is in it. In order to ensure that you are not troubled by the cumbersome text, I have deliberately simplified it. If you don't know how to survive in the Badlands, just follow the manual.

But now, you'll probably have to find a master port to transfer it to the individual ports in each module to ensure that each of your citizens has one.

Unfortunately, you only have ten minutes to do this."

D-4 pointed to the outer ring, which had begun to vibrate violently.

she says:

"Your Excellency Wu Neng has completed the takeover of the control core of the Garden of Eden. The separation process has entered a ten-minute countdown. The Garden of Eden will be gradually dismantled from the outer ring. The whole process will last forty-five minutes.

Don't worry, in order to increase your survival rate in the reproductive month, we have deliberately placed all the modules of the Garden of Eden near the Castle of the End.

It is the last isolated bastion of resistance on the surface world.

In short, I wish you good luck, and if you can still see the sun tomorrow, please remember who dispelled the darkness for you, and remember to sing praises to Mr. Zhou Ke in your heart."

"D-4! You talk too much! I'm not doing this for their thanks. I don't care if they live or die."

Zhou Ke's scolding made D-4 shrug.

She smiled at the assistant who was clutching the data storage device tightly, then strode into the research institute.

After the last person left, the assistant stared at the storage device in his hand.

His mind was in a mess at the moment. The bad guy Zhou Ke seemed to have told him the reason but did not explain it clearly, and the robot was obviously urging him to act quickly. He didn't know who was right or wrong, and he couldn't tell whether the explosive fact that "Abin is dead" was true or false.

But after realizing that there were really only ten minutes left before the Garden of Eden disintegrated and fell, he knew that he had to act.

He didn't even pay attention to Zhou Ke's request that he stay in the inner ring, but jumped onto the hovercraft and rushed out at the highest speed, ignoring traffic regulations.

When he rushed into the third ring's broadcasting center that could communicate with all modules, he witnessed with his own eyes the outermost nine-ring modules "disintegrating" due to the violent vibration.

The huge gray space station ring flew out from the main body of the space station like a cut giant snake when the reverse thrust rockets of each module were activated, and was gradually captured by the gravity of the planet during the chaotic but regular propulsion operation.

They are falling.

I don’t have much time!
The assistant gritted his teeth and turned on the full-band broadcast, then inserted the memory in his hand into the data sharer. When the progress bar began to move, he tried to calm himself down, and then turned on Eden's last "city announcement".

“Citizens of the Garden of Eden, I am Walter, the assistant to the Archon, and I am now making an emergency announcement to you!
Due to special reasons, the Garden of Eden is about to disintegrate and fall into the Badlands Reservation. We have tried all methods but failed to stop this disaster. Because the surface is experiencing the disaster of the Month of Reproduction, please be prepared for the worst case scenario.

I have transmitted a 'Badlands Survival Manual' to your personal terminals. If you encounter danger and don't know what to do, please follow this manual. Uh."

He suddenly covered his chest and cried out in pain, as if he had been attacked.

But no one attacked him.

It was just that a certain device, in order to gather energy, took back the power of the stable time maze that had been covering the three rings of the Garden of Eden. As the invisible energy dissipated like water waves, all the power was drained away from the assistant in an instant.

He stared in amazement as his fingers transformed from real flesh and blood into bubbles as thin as white paper in a short period of time.

He realized that he was dissolving.

He couldn't understand what was happening, but soon, the tragedy that Zhou Ke had told him about came to his mind.
Governor Han Bin died twenty-six years ago!
So, I actually also.
Ah, so that’s it!

It turns out that this is the reason why the Archon has not allowed himself to leave the inner circle all these years. It turns out that he occasionally sees Mr. Han Bin looking at him with a "guilty" look.

He himself died.

I am one of those ghosts who are unwilling to rest in peace, just like Mr. Han Bin. In this world that does not belong to them, I try hard to maintain the illusion that everything is still going on. In order for more people to survive, I force myself to forget the fact that I have been dead for 26 years.

Ok.

Ok
The assistant let out a helpless yet relieved laugh. His left arm had begun to dissipate like a bursting bubble, but he used his right arm to support his body and stood up, continuing to make his final broadcast to the entire city in a weak voice.

"This is Walter, assistant to Mr. Han Bin, the governor of the Garden of Eden. The report is over. Citizens, it is an honor to work with you. I wish you good luck."

“Du, du, du”

After a violent coughing fit, everything returned to calm.

Only the busy tone of the communication that had not been turned off was left, echoing in every street and alley of the Garden of Eden, which was like the end of the world.

They are falling.

It's like a ship that has been lost for thirty-eight years is finally returning to the port where it set sail.

Well, good luck to them.
