Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 247 37. Father! I am here to inherit you

"Keep going up. The control panel of the sacred reference instrument is on the top floor. Don't pay attention to the messy time faults around you! The Time Lost is on our side. He will help us find the right path in the chaotic time."

D-4 fired covering fire forward to destroy the continuously emerging combat omnics.

Following behind her was Qiao Ya, who had used Qiao Shan's power seed to transform herself into a "downgraded version of Kamen Lai Da" form. In addition, the two universal joints of the combat backpack specially made by Wu Neng lifted the weapon and fired forward and backward, allowing her to keep up with the speed of D-4.

Qiao Shan dealt with the pursuers for them in the end.

Don’t ask where so many combat intelligent machines came from in the main structure of such a research institute. As early as the night when the three parties finalized the cooperation plan, or even earlier, Han Bin had already begun to “fortify” this place.

What they are fighting for tonight is the chance for one last try. All three parties have their own moral principles, and there is no point in talking about reason when it comes to life and death. Faced with such a scene where death can occur with the slightest carelessness, other ordinary people would probably have to act with caution even if they are not scared to death on the spot.

But Qiao Ya was not afraid.

Facing the hail of bullets coming from all around her and the combat machines rushing towards her for close combat, she felt nothing in her heart.

It was not only because she had seen too many scenes like this, but also because she knew very well why an ordinary person like her would appear in this place at this time.

The codes and formulas left by her mother have already calculated the results. She only needs to input the timestamp into the sacred benchmark that is about to be opened. Anyone can do such a task. If it is handed over to D-4 and Qiao Shan, they may be able to do it faster and better. In fact, she is prepared to be left on the surface.

But Zhou Ke still took her with him.

On the one hand, she knew that if Zhou Ke and his team failed in their efforts tonight, then if she stayed in the Garden of Eden, she could at least get on Han Bin or Old Acholi's "Doomsday Ark". This was the protection of her from other members of the team. They regarded her as a true collaborator rather than a powerless girl.

On the other hand, perhaps everyone wanted Qiao Ya to enter the timestamp calculated by her mother herself in order to create a meaningful "ending" for her in such a cruel moment as tonight when there was almost no reason to explain it.

Not only is this the legacy that Ms. Weng Yafen left for the world, but this final step should have been completed by her daughter herself.

"If we die, if the world is destroyed, if we will eventually be forgotten by everyone, then at least on the way to death, we tried our best, and I did my best. If we still can't get a good result, at least I and others will not leave with regrets!

Yes.

Success or failure no longer matters.

This is the only thing we can do at this time, and we have to do it well
Mom, please bless me."

Qiao Ya rolled over and cooperated with D-4 to kill a large defensive combat intelligent machine. She leaned back in the shelter and patted the notebook on her chest.

It was the notebook her mother left behind, recording the "answer" she left for her daughter.

Perhaps it's not just her mother, but also her father who worked hard all his life in the bad land but didn't get a good ending, and her uncle Ohm who is always taciturn but is willing to give everything for his daughter.

The story of Slag Town ended long ago, but the final period will be drawn here by Qiao Ya herself.

"rush!"

D-4 shouted, and the weapons bay behind him opened, knocking down all the blockers on the passage ahead in a gesture of "justice from heaven".

She saw Qiao Ya rushing out fearlessly, stepping on the hot waste.

This girl has been very silent ever since she entered the path leading to the sacred reference instrument console. She doesn't even tell those weird jokes anymore, those jokes she learned from Zhou Ke to liven up the atmosphere.

Well, this kid definitely learned more than just a good attitude from Mr. Zhou Ke.

When it comes to risking everything, she is really decisive.

"Like a true Badlands guy."

D-4 commented like this before her thrusters exploded, pushing her through an S-shaped corridor filled with obstacles and dangerous weapons. The composite combat knives that popped out from her arms destroyed everything along the way at a frequency that was impossible for the human eye to detect, destroying all defense structures wherever she went.

She rolled to the end of the passage, and six high-level combat robots like Luna jumped out in front of her.

The machines produced during the peak period of the old civilization era have powerful strength, but unfortunately, when D-4 was still using a downgraded machine, she was already able to beat Luna up. Now that she has replaced her machine with the same one as the opponent, who can stop her in such a close fight?

After all, Mechagirl never thinks that she relies on numbers to crush the battle.

She has always positioned herself as a "technical person".

And even though both sides are cold machines without a beating heart in their chests, D-4 does have one more thing than his mechanical compatriots.

She refused to call it "love" because Mr. Zhou Ke found it corny.

Therefore, D-4 believes that the soul she possesses is the key to her victory in mechanical battles. She has things that others do not have, and she also has everything that others have. How can other machines defeat her?

Isn't this blatant cheating?

"boom"

A blinding explosion accompanied by the data stream of the robot girl entered the overclocking mode amidst the trembling of symbols called "fanasis" and "excitement". The opponent also entered the overclocking mode to challenge, but two of them were shattered in one encounter.

The values are the same!

Even because they are the same mechanical template, the configurations of the combat modules are similar, but they just can't beat them!
They tried to capture D-4's data stream to paralyze her with data attacks, but the information returned from the detection program was a large piece of garbled code that could not be interpreted at all. Logically, the crazy killing white-haired robot girl in front of them should have collapsed long ago, but now she was like a mechanical superman, advancing with the sneaky ordinary human behind her.

It seemed like nothing could stop the two of them.

"I actually had a question on the way here, Ms. D-4."

Amid the loud noises of the pursuers behind him being blown up one after another, the last man of the trio, the real Badlands Kamen, came and attacked like a black insect warrior, swinging the True Mantis Swords on his arms to kill the enemies.

Judging from the battle footage alone, this guy seems to be even more adept than D-4 who can kill instantly with one strike.

While he was retreating at a constant speed, he also took the time to use his two extra arms to practice the "Four Swords Style" while fighting back against the charge, and asked:
"If we can survive tonight and Zhou Ke can come back, where are you going to go in the future? Didn't Zhou Ke say that he would bid farewell to the evil land forever? Are you going to the sea of stars?"

"Why didn't you ask him just now?"

D-4 said without turning back:

"Are you scared?"

"Maybe it's because you don't want to feel the farewell again?" Qiao Shan sighed.
"We are the last residents of Slag Town. I thought we should just pretend that Zhou Ke is still here. Maybe I will see him again one day in the future. Sorry, is it a bit silly to ask this question now?"

"I think next time when Ms. Mu Fang reads a romance novel, you should stop reading along. Your brain is not suited to it."

The mechanical girl complained:

"And if you still have energy to spare, why don't you relieve us of some of the pressure? The beacon given by the Time Loser is still two-thirds of the distance from our current position. At our current speed, we won't be able to reach the control panel within 20 minutes!"

"My biological armor is a bit slow to warm up. It needs to understand the fighting style of these intelligent machines through multiple encounters before it can enter the most suitable fighting form to deal with them through temporary biological adjustments."

Qiao Shan glanced at the second pair of arms beside him that were being fine-tuned according to the battle rhythm and the "biological cannon" on his left arm that was about to be put in place, and he whispered:

"Hold on a little longer, we'll be ready soon, then I'll be the vanguard and you'll be the rearguard! I promise, we'll be there in ten minutes. If this is the last battle for us Badlands people... No!
We will definitely win!

Just like my aunt left that answer for Xiaoya, I realized that kind of "power" when I was about to become a father! I don't know what you think, but I don't want my children to live in the evil land where I was born in the future. "

------

The Evil Vulture and Little Acholi walked through the corridor that was completely flooded and cleaned up by the "black water".

Compared to the fierce battle of the trio, the brother and sister walking in the last night of the apocalypse was like an "outing". The two of them didn't even need to do anything, the magic eye opened on Rhine's forehead was enough to deal with the troubles along the way.

Be it combat mechs or psionicists who serve the Order of the Flash, nothing can last long when faced with the filth of the Warp.

But for the sake of efficiency, the Vulture adopted a rather brutal combat strategy. She called out these "black waters" to temporarily open a passage to the edge of the warp, throwing every piece of shit she encountered along the way into it.

Basically, it treats the feared subspace as a trash can.

So much so that little Acholi was complaining that the journey was too dull. As the surface governor, he was fully prepared to die here, and had done enough psychological preparation, and even left a suicide note. And this was the result?
Tsk, next time I won’t work with my sister who is too powerful and makes “duo-queuing” boring.

"Ok?"

Just as little Acholi was chattering along with his sister who was invincible all the way to the upper level in the chaotic time maze, the brother and sister stopped at the same time.

At the end of the empty passage in front of them, a person who shouldn't be there was standing there.

Old Acholi still had that "old king" demeanor, dressed very neatly as befitted his status, and stood by the window beside the passage with a cane, like an old and elegant uncle gazing at the sea of stars in front of him.

"Why are you here?"

Little Acholi said in a low voice:

"Shouldn't you be at the controls?"

"There are many of me guarding there. According to my calculations, they are enough to deal with any unwelcome who rashly step in there. Considering that there is a 99% chance that my 'fate' with you siblings will end tonight, and your sister's magic eye from the warp is too outrageous, I think it is necessary for me to have one of me wait for you here."

Old Acholi said:
"It would be great if we could resolve the problem here. This is a 'family issue' after all, so I think it's better not to make it known to everyone."

"Ha, you are such a busy man, but you still sent a clone to try to persuade us. It seems that my sister's strategy is correct. If we don't make some noise, there is really no way for you to get out of the work that I think you will never finish in your lifetime."

Little Acholi sneered and said:
"The others who traveled with us were all dedicated to great causes such as the world, the future, and hope. Assholes like me firmly believed that they were fighting with faith, which changed my impression of the Badlands a lot.

Maybe some good people can really be born in that cesspool-like place.

But unfortunately, I am not the same kind of person as them. Father, you and I are the same kind of people. We are both selfish people who always think about ourselves and don’t care about the world’s reaction!

That's why I can feel the deep helplessness and exhaustion from your speech just now.

If my sister and I can really be convinced by you in just a few words, then it would be very efficient for you, right? "

"When you say the words 'family problems', it's like you're trying your best to wrap your skin tighter around you."

The three eyes of the evil vulture were fixed on her father. Her tone was calm and almost indifferent. She said:
"From the outside, I am definitely more of a monster than you, but the fact is, you are the real monster in this institute and even in the entire evil land."

"Because of my attitude towards you two?"

Old Acholi turned around and looked at his "children" with a helpless look. He said:

"I have tried my best to play the role of a 'good father'. You should understand that I have too much to do, the mistakes I have to make up for are too heavy, and what I have to find is too far away.

I really don't have that much time to spend on raising children. Your birth was an 'accident'.
I hate unexpected events like this.”

"Yeah, we understand."

Little Acholi took a gun from his sister. Although Han Chuer told him that it would be better not to end everything with violence tonight if possible, he didn't want to say anything more to the "father" in front of him.

He loaded his pistol, and as his sister floated up behind him, her long hair standing up like a gorgon, and her eyes glowing with black light, he shouted:
"Our existence is a burden to you. My sister and I were able to leave the Garden of Eden so easily perhaps because you were secretly helping us. For you, the most perfect working state is when we are not by your side.

I have also thought about what my life would be like now if I was born as Mr. Han Bin’s son.

But I guess my sister and I might really be malicious beings deliberately spread by Chaos, just to hinder your grand mission of rescue and research.

Once upon a time, we only had you as a choice, so for the benefit of more people, my sister and I could only hide all the grievances in our hearts;
But now, we have other options
Be it Zhou Ke or Han Bin, Rhine and I really don’t care what the world will be like after tonight. For us, solving past troubles will obviously allow us to step into death with a smile on our faces.

Father, great father, tired father, monstrous father, the biggest shadow in my life. Your children are here to inherit you.

Please trust me.

The world and our lives would be better off without guys like you."

"Well said, brother."

Rhine whispered:
"It's like a madman finally speaking out his true feelings."

"Heh, the world is almost gone, why bother pretending to be normal? Come on, sister, end it all, I'm tired of it, and so is he."
