Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 62 62. So, Zhou Ke’s superpower is to make himself more handsome?

Weng Mingyue, who was caught in an unexpected disaster due to an accident, is feeling very upset.

Although Zhou Ke decided to release him, it would still take some time to send him back to the safe area in the city. After all, two groups of people with different purposes were frantically searching for him in the city. No matter which side he met, he would get into unnecessary trouble. Therefore, he needed to wait for a while in Moni, a suburban stronghold with a poor environment.

After Weng Mingyue finished the examination and left with a lot of complaints, the energy-comprehension device that had been sent back to Zhou Ke by Qiao Ya began to calculate the safest return route in real time and reset the city map. Zhou Ke also got up to change his clothes.

He wanted to go to the city with Moni.

"This is a bit risky. I'll just go and deliver it."

Moni opened his wardrobe and generously let Zhou Ke choose the clothes he liked. He then leaned over and lit a cigarette, complaining:

"You are still a patient. It's okay for you to rest for a while. Are you so anxious to seize the job and take over the power?"

"Look at you, what a shame! You know I'm a patient but you still smoke in front of me? The most outrageous thing is that you didn't even give me a cigarette?"

Zhou Ke scolded without even turning his head:

"You've been in the lawless apocalypse for so long that you've even lost the most basic virtue of sharing, right? An uncultured hangman like you will be severely beaten wherever you go in the old civilization!"

"I'm afraid it will affect your recovery."

Moni shrugged, took out a cigarette box from his arms and threw it over, then asked:

"The doctor said you were on the path to sublimation, how come it happened out of nowhere? There must be some trick to this, right? Can you share it with me?"

"Well, of course there is. Go outside now and stare at the purple moon for ten days or half a month. When you really see the mystery in it, it will probably be about the same."

Zhou Ke told the truth sincerely.

However, in this terrible era, no one believed the truth. Moni just thought he was joking, and Zhou Ke was too lazy to explain.

After all, he himself is still confused.

In the closet in front of him, Zhou Ke randomly picked out a few clothes that looked good to replace his worn-out outerwear. He glanced back at Moni while holding the clothes and said:
"How can you be so blind? I want to change my clothes and you're still not going out? Or you can help me change? I happen to be a patient.

Come!
Please help me take off my underwear first."

"Uh"

Moni was embarrassed for a moment, then he turned away and said:

"I'll ask Amei to come and help you change. She's the female warrior who escaped from the Castle of the End with us. You're also in need of a guard. I'll ask her to work with you in the future?"

"No need for that. I just came here and I took your position as leader. I also want to take away your elite soldiers and generals. How will your brothers see me? How will they see you?"

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"This kind of thing requires a gradual approach. It is important to establish my authority, but it cannot be done at the expense of your authority. If we do this, there will be trouble between us sooner or later. So, don't tell anyone about our current relationship of me being the principal and you being the deputy.

I can only be promoted legitimately after I have done some practical things for my brothers and sisters and won their favor. The people on my side also need an adaptation period.

First, let Qiao Shan and the two little Tafus follow your confidants and help them get familiar with the rules of the city-state area.

As for the others, I will make my own arrangements.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go get the car ready. Call me when you've planned the route."

Moni had a strong executive ability. He stood up and prepared to leave. After taking a few steps, he asked again:

"You just said that you want to move to a new place in the city. Is that reliable?"

"Don't worry, it's reliable! Since we want to cooperate, living in the place provided by the other party will make them feel at ease. Now we are the weaker party, and it is important to take the initiative to release goodwill. Just let the brothers and sisters prepare to move.

Leave a few more people to clean up this place and make it a backup base. People or things that are not convenient to show up can be placed here.

By the way, let’s clean up the place.”

Zhou Ke glanced critically at the ground that was emitting a strange smell. He sighed and said:

"I don't know how you guys stand it here, they bury mules in better places than this.

I'm not saying anything bad about you, Moni, but just because brothers and sisters can tolerate a bad environment doesn't mean they really want to stay here. While having lofty goals, we must also take care of our daily lives. At least a little quality of life can keep everyone working together."

"You think I don't want to?"

Moni sighed and said:
"I don't have super intelligence like Lord Wuneng. I was like a thief when I moved around the city before. I have an apartment with a nice environment, but I dare not live in it. Now that you are here, the surveillance shackles on us have been removed.

The brothers and sisters who escaped from the Castle of the End with me all know your abilities. Mei and Hong are very impressed by you, but the brothers and sisters recruited in the city have never heard of your legend.

So, show them what you can do, Zhou Ke."

"It's a piece of cake. But, Moni, help me find someone."

Zhou Ke took off his shirt, revealing his back with several new scars, and said:

"Old White, you told me before, have you never looked for him since you came to the City-State District?"

"I have looked for it. How could I possibly ignore the person you mentioned?"

Moni looked a little strange at this moment, and he said:

“In fact, I looked for him when I first arrived at the City-State District. I was expecting him to give me another surprise, but how should I put it? That guy didn’t give me a good impression. To be honest, I don’t think Lao Bai is capable of doing big things.

He now sets up a camp with his woman near the garbage dump in the central city and does some small business. It is said that he has good relations with several slums near the central city.

Are you sure he can be useful for what we are going to do?"

"It's better to expect your mortal enemy to be killed by a storm tonight than to expect Old Bai to do something great."

Zhou Ke commented harshly:
"But Old White is not as useless as you say. At least he knows that when he follows the right person, he has to work hard. He can also burst out his subjective initiative to do his best in his work. He is simply a natural born ox or horse.

And now, we need a contact person between us, Weng Mingyue and his sister who will not be noticed by anyone. You see, doesn't Old Bai, who has been staying out of it, come in handy?

After sending Weng Mingyue off, he will take me to meet him. That guy said that when we get to the City-State District, if he has a meal, I will have a bowl of soup.

Now is the time to give him a chance to fulfill his promise to me."

"Ha, okay, I'll do as you say, Boss."

Moni laughed, turned around and left.

When Zhou Ke finished changing his clothes, Qiao Ya came in with a cup of strangely colored potion. She handed it to Zhou Ke and said:

"That Weng Mingyue prescribed medicine for you and asked you to drink it three times a day, saying that it can regulate your emotions. He also told me that according to his experience, individuals who have just embarked on the path of sublimation will experience emotional out-of-control and physical abnormalities, and these are normal reactions.

If you feel seriously unwell go see him.

This guy.
He really seems like a reliable doctor."

"You're talking about your cousin, or your brother?"

Zhou Ke took the potion and drank it all. The smell made his face twitch. He grinned and said to Qiao Ya:

"When are you going to confess your identity to the Weng family?"

"what is your opinion?"

Qiao Ya looked at Zhou Ke and replied:

"Of course I'll listen to you."

"Okay, then I suggest you take your time."

Zhou Ke put down the cup and said:

"The situation of the Weng family is a bit delicate right now. From Weng Mingyue's half-truths, we can tell that he and his sister have irreconcilable conflicts with the current head of the Weng family. This means that you have to choose one side and maybe even go through a family infighting before you can get your mother's things back.

But, I have a better idea.

Don't worry about the red tape. We will find an opportunity to promote you to the top and let the siblings support you instead of you following them."

"what?"

Qiao Ya's eyes widened. She said:

"Isn't this a bit... uh, I was going to say it's a wild idea, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems to make some sense. Weng Mingyue himself said that his aunt Fen, my mother, is the most legitimate heir to the family.

But will people be willing?
Didn't he say his sister was very powerful?"

"You believe this kind of trick to trick children?"

Zhou Ke smiled disdainfully and said:

"If he really had power, Weng Mingyue wouldn't have needed to disguise himself and hide. The fact that he could mobilize the city's mechanical sheriffs at most means that his sister has connections.

But power.
Little girl, you underestimate these two words. Even in this pretending civilized city in the Bad Land, a real big shot would not encounter such a predicament. However, his sister must have some skills and is probably not so easy to deal with.

It depends on how the two sides discuss it after they meet.

In short, when I come into contact with the Weng family, you will be my entourage, so that you can secretly see what kind of people your relatives are.

Go pack up, change into some casual clothes, and come with me to meet Lao Bai later.

From now on, Lao Bai's side will be under your command. This is your power, and you have the final say on how to manage and develop it. Let me and others see your ability."

"it is good!"

Qiao Ya became serious, nodded, and turned away. Zhou Ke adjusted his outfit in front of a mirror. He was still wearing a casual outfit, a gray shirt, black pants, a pair of men's business shoes, and a long windbreaker. This outfit made him no longer look fierce like a Badlands man.

"Great! With a tie, he'll look more like a gold medal insurance salesman."

He complained, reached out to unbutton the first button of his shirt, revealing the "tattoo" on his neck, then put on his favorite honeymoon sunglasses, picked up Moni's own hairspray and touched himself, barely making a good hairstyle.

"cough cough"

The sudden cough made Zhou Ke cover his chest. He felt a little short of breath, but it passed in a flash.

"You should pay more attention to your physical condition, Joker."

Wu Neng said faintly:

"How come you seem to have forgotten this matter after you woke up? Is it possible that embarking on the path of sublimation is not even the top three of your current affairs?"

"Isn't this about you?"

Zhou Ke continued to fine-tune his hairstyle with a comb, and he said casually:

"If it was really troublesome, you would have reminded me, my dear Wu Neng. You are my most trusted right-hand man. The fact that you didn't say anything proves that it's not a big problem."

"Indeed, judging from the current appearance, the problem is indeed not serious. Your body is healthy and your mental state is also recovering. It's like you just had a nightmare."

Wu Neng said:
"But what cannot be ignored is the 'abnormal energy' emanating from your body!
Although it is very weak, even negligible compared to the leakage of Ajie and D-4, a leak is still a leak.

From the perspective of "human energy science" that Ohm mentioned before, you must immediately find a way to stop the leakage of this energy, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the step of purifying the energy. But to be honest, this is the first time this machine has encountered this, and there is no way to give you a reference.

We currently know too little about this special power mode of the sublimation state. It is like a blind man touching an elephant! We can only take one step at a time.

So, what did you see before?
I almost shot myself in the head."

"I told you not to be afraid."

Zhou Ke put down the comb and was very satisfied with his slightly side-parted hairstyle.

This made him regain a sense of familiarity. In this strange and cruel land, the memories of his previous life were precious flames.

In response to his speech, Wu Neng immediately emitted a disdainful mechanical sound and said:

"How could this machine be afraid? This machine has gone through tens of millions of data simulations. Does a professionally trained intelligent assistant understand?"

“Well, I saw the truth about Purple Moon!

It was an eye! An eye wrapped in twisted flesh and blood, like the malice of another world hanging high above the sky of the evil land, peeking at this rotten world, but that was not the point!
The point is, beneath the hideous appearance of that eye of flesh and blood is a womb that is gestating evil."

Zhou Ke sighed and said:
"It's beating, and every vibration brings up a visible psychic tide. That thing is the source of all psychic-related things in the Bad Land. I can't guess what it is, and I dare not guess, let alone want to guess.

But I know that once that thing breaks out of the shell, no matter what secrets exist in this world, they will disappear in an instant.

The scientists of the old civilization named the purple moon the "Moon of Fetal Movement" not just out of emotional description, they were just describing the most basic facts! That thing is indeed pregnant with something strange."

"Fuck!"

Wu Neng screamed.

Obviously, the intelligent assistant that claimed that it was not afraid of anything was frightened. The situation described by Zhou Ke had exceeded its mechanical thinking's simulation of the conditions in the Bad Land.

If even a celestial body like the moon has been so dangerously "infected", then all of Wu Neng's previous analysis of the evil land based on what he saw and heard can be overturned.

"What? Are you scared? You coward!"

Zhou Ke complained, but Wu Neng screamed:
"Don't disturb this machine. This machine needs to immediately reconstruct the analytical model of the current situation of the Badlands. This will take some time, but it is certain that the simulation of the current situation of the world based on scientific theory can be thrown into the trash.

The present state of this bad land is based on metaphysics.

Blanch!
What bad things did this machine do in its previous life to be thrown into such a hellish place in this life! "

After roaring, Wuneng really entered a strange standby state, but it did not forget its job. It had already planned several available safe routes for Zhou Ke on the screen.

This made Zhou Ke nodded with satisfaction. He picked up his sword "刈" and the short spear, snapped his fingers to Ajie, and prepared to go and meet up with Moni to send Weng Mingyue back to the city.

Considering what Wu Neng had just said about his abnormal energy dissipation, Zhou Ke didn't care much about it.

He is not an ordinary person.

Since there is no way to stop the energy from escaping now, why not collect it ourselves?

This has been done too many times before.

Zhou Ke took a deep breath and put his hand on his forehead, just like the evil succubus "sucking energy" for Ajie and D-4. However, because his energy was too little and too weak, he couldn't use the energy to make a complete mask.

After several minutes, Zhou Ke frowned and looked at the white mask in his hand that was as thin as a cicada's wing and extremely fragile. He felt a little annoyed.

Extracting other people's power masks can unlock their combat characteristics, but I am an absolute noob, just an ordinary person who is a little stronger. What can I do by extracting my own mask?

Can I make myself more handsome?
Well, that wouldn't be bad if that were the case.

Right now, this mask is too fragile to be worn, and even the slightest force will break it. If one really wants to see its power, it will have to be continuously strengthened for a period of time. To be honest, Zhou Ke is also very curious about this, but right now there are more important things to do than satisfying his curiosity.

He put his white mask into his pocket, waved to D-4 who was talking to Qiao Ya in the distance, and asked the two girls to follow. The foursome left the depths of Moni's base and came to the outer garage.

Moni and his adjutant Amei were already waiting there.

Weng Mingyue was also there, still looking timid and carrying a bag, which seemed to be a "gift" from Moni to express his apology.

“This car is really broken.”

Zhou Ke walked up to Moni and said hello, then reached out and knocked on the van, which looked very bad. It looked very similar to the appearance and style of the "nanny car" in Zhou Ke's memory, and was very suitable for transporting multiple people.

"Ami?"

Zhou Ke looked up and down at Moni's tough female adjutant, and after noticing that she was limping, he asked:
"What happened to your leg? Was it bitten by a rat?"

"I cut it myself."

Amei, who had a scar on her face, did not try to hide her wastelander temperament. She patted her mechanical leg nonchalantly and said:
"I got stuck on the stairs when I was trying to escape, so..."

"Sure, sure, you're a heroine!"

Zhou Ke gave a thumbs up and said:

"But now we are making a living in the City State District, so it is unnecessary to be conspicuous. It just so happens that our Mr. Weng Mingyue is a great doctor, and the Weng family controls the black clinic industry chain in the City State District. So, let's ask our new friends to redesign your appearance.

Since we have made up our minds to say goodbye to the evil land, let’s make the new life come more thoroughly, with new faces, new atmosphere and new future. "

"Uh"

Amei wanted to refute this proposal, but Zhou Ke did not give her a chance to speak. He sat in the passenger seat and chatted with Moni.

Others came in one after another, sandwiching Weng Mingyue among a group of girls.

Moni drove the car along the safe route given by Wu Neng all the way to the suburban highway. The two chatted and laughed while sharing various interesting things that happened recently in the City-State District, but others were not in such a good mood.

Especially Weng Mingyue, he was a little excited and a little worried at this moment.

He was excited that he had miraculously reached an agreement with the kidnappers, but he was worried that he would not be able to explain this to his sister. Thinking of his sister's overly vicious temper, he felt helpless.

My sister will definitely not let things go peacefully. These kidnappers who are quite easy to talk to will probably be in trouble in the future.

However, as a doctor, Weng Mingyue soon noticed Ajie, who was sitting opposite him and eating an energy bar. He observed Ajie and after a few minutes, he snorted in surprise and reached out to try to touch Ajie, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was hit on the wrist by D-4.

"Don't touch it."

D-4 warned:
"Ajie is very fierce and will bite people."

"I know he's very vicious. I also know he's most likely a discarded product of the third generation 'Biochemical Madman' project of the Acholi Consortium's biological laboratory."

Weng Mingyue stared at Ajie as if she had seen a "treasure".

He blinked and said:
"I've only heard of that project. It's said to be a completely new design of the underlying theoretical training framework, using a completely new biological weapon enhancement logic, eliminating the various flaws of the old biochemical warriors, and most importantly, adding the talent modulation of psychic affinity.

He should have become the wildest killing machine, but unfortunately he failed to pass the final mental tempering, which led to his personality collapse. However, he still has extremely high research value.

Where did you find him?"

"Ajie is my good brother. Why? Doctor, do you want to do some research?"

Zhou Ke, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced back at Weng Mingyue and said:

"It's not impossible, but what good can you bring to Ajie? Can you restore his precarious mind to normal?"

"impossible!"

Weng Mingyue pushed up her glasses and said seriously:
"Personality breakdown is not just a brain disease, it is the collapse of an entire mental system. It cannot be solved by simple treatment, but I can give it a try. Although I cannot fully restore his sanity, it should not be a problem to recover some fragmented memories."

"Ok?"

Zhou Ke raised his eyebrows and said:
"Very good, let's arrange a time to talk in detail later. Get off at the intersection ahead, and my assistant will book an unmanned taxi for you. It will take you to any location you specify. Go directly to your sister's place, don't run around!

If your sister is really powerful, then she will take care of the rest. Don't forget what I told you. Tell her those words without exaggerating.

I look forward to your response.”
