Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 63 63. If you become rich, don’t forget me

"Should we send someone to take him back? If this guy is really important in the subsequent events, it seems a bit too careless to let him go alone, right?"

Wearing a windbreaker and a pumpkin hat, pretending to be a "bad land poet", Moni leaned over the steering wheel, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and said to Zhou Ke in the passenger seat:
"How about letting Amy go?"

"Can you please stop assigning tasks to Amei? She is here to work, not to be your slave."

Zhou Ke complained:
“I left him alone for his own good.

Weng Mingyue is a little too timid. It's easy for people to have wild thoughts when they are with him. The car was specially selected by Wuneng. It has special bulletproof glass and a special guard mode. If something really happens, Xiaopang will be fine unless the car is blown up to the sky.

If his sister really had great connections, then Weng Mingyue would be protected when she entered the city.

Let's not stay here anymore.

Before his sister calms down and handles this matter, we are still in the "kill anyone who sees us" wanted status, let's go and find Lao Bai to make arrangements."

"Let's go on a trip to the garbage dump."

Moni snorted sarcastically, restarted the car, merged smoothly into the traffic on the highway, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, in the driverless taxi, Weng Mingyue, who was still a little suspicious, looked around.

After confirming that there were no followers, he picked up the public intercom in the driverless taxi. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he would be captured by the killer of the Weng family by doing so, but finally decided to call his sister first.

While reporting her safety, he advised her not to rush to take revenge on the kidnappers. If the other party's boss was not lying, Aunt Fen's bloodline might be hidden among them.

This is a truly important matter for the brother and sister.

It's worth taking a little risk for this.

He dialed the number, and after waiting for a moment, his sister's voice sounded on the other end:
"Mingyue, are you okay? Did those gangsters hurt you? How dare they kidnap my brother? I'm going to mobilize the border troops right now and send out the heavily-armored hunters to send them all to the sky!"

"Calm down! Weng Meiyu! Calm down!"

Weng Mingyue screamed and said:

"I'm fine. I'm heading home now."

"Don't go home! Come directly to the Central Building. You will stay in my dormitory for the next few days and don't run around. Wait until this is over."

Weng Meiyu on the other end of the phone gnashed her teeth and said:

"That old man from the Weng family actually dared to take advantage of your kidnapping to mobilize assassins to silence you. You really gave him face! Don't be afraid, brother. I have already talked to my boss. He will fully support my actions to protect my family. Look, I will send someone to attack the Weng family manor to vent your anger."

"I know you're joking, so stop it! Sister, I'm fine, and can you just listen to me?"

Weng Mingyue couldn't hold it in any longer. He sighed and said:

"That's not your power. You borrowed it. You have to repay the favor when you borrow something. Aunt Fenn taught us this when we were little. You have finally won the trust of young Mr. Acholi. There is no need to waste your precious connections on something like this."

I know exactly how much you've worked for your current position, and I know you care about me, but there's no need to waste your years of hard work because of me.

And I have something very important to tell you about Aunt Fern."

"Hush! Let's talk after we get here."

Weng Meiyu took a few deep breaths on the other end of the phone. Her brother's words made sense, and she forced herself to calm down. She said:
"I'll send someone to pick you up. Don't stop or slow down along the way. If anyone blocks your way, just run over them! Some of the assassins hired by the Weng family through the underground clinic have been cleared out, but there are still some wandering the streets. You are not safe yet."

"Yes, I know. In addition, I found a defective product made by a biochemical madman under the Biological Laboratory of the Flash Organization. It is a very rare sample."

Weng Mingyue whispered:

"I remember you said last time that Mr. Acholi has been trying to spread his influence to the Flash Organization. If I can infer the training parameters of the new generation of biochemical warriors of the Flash Organization by studying that defective product, this may make you more valued by Mr. Acholi.

So, I still need a laboratory.

Besides, this identity has been exposed and cannot be used anymore. Please help me quit my job at the hospital and remember to give some small gifts to my colleagues."

"Well, that's interesting. I'll help you arrange it later. Come back first and talk about it later."
-
The suburban garbage disposal station in the central city is dozens of kilometers away from the urban area. It is built into an exaggeratedly large pit filled with domestic garbage from the urban area. Several fully automated processing base stations operate 24 hours a day, and mechanized cleaners are constantly recycling valuable items and reshaping them as the basis for urban circulation.

But even with so many busy robots, they cannot keep up with the speed at which Central City produces garbage.

“This garbage dump is really big.”

Zhou Ke, standing on the hillside outside the processing station, put his hands on his waist and complained to Moni, who was posing with his hands in his pockets beside him:

"The busyness here fully proves that humans are a complete 'manure-making machine' no matter what era it is. I can't imagine that in this apocalyptic era, why would people in the city be so interested in continuing to produce such a large amount of domestic waste?"

"There are a lot of people, that's it."

Moni has no interest in garbage.

Although this is a "shopping mall" frequented by the lower class in the city who can't make it, even when he was at his lowest point, he never thought of living here.

However, he knew that Zhou Ke had limited knowledge of the City-State District, so he explained to him as a tour guide:

"There are seven 'satellite towns' spread out over a dozen kilometers around this garbage disposal station. None of them are included in the official municipal planning and construction of the central city. They are industries established by various people who escaped from the urban area. They operate in a similar logic to the towns in the Badlands. These seven towns are the 'slums' of the central city.

The reason you don’t see beggars and homeless people in the city is not because the central city cares about the lower class, but because those who can’t make it will leave the city and settle there.

There are quite a lot of people in several towns, and conservative estimates put the total number at tens of thousands or even dozens.

There is a mixed crowd there, with people from all walks of life. They have close ties with gangsters from all over the city. It is said that forces from the three wanderer states in the Bad Land are active in several towns, and the smuggling industry chain from the city-state area to the Bad Land is also located there. Wanted guys will run to seek refuge outside the city, and such factors make those places quite difficult to deal with.

Central City tried to take over there when I was a kid, but the law enforcement officers they sent were driven out and there was bloodshed.

When I was still a young master, I always thought that the existence of these towns was a cancer and shame for the city-state, but after I drifted to the Badlands, I realized that the big guys occasionally needed these desperadoes to do some shameful things, which explained why the repeated disposals over the past thirty years have ended in failure. "

"Don't be so sentimental, Moni."

Zhou Ke stabbed his brother in the heart without mercy and said:
"You are now one of those desperadoes you once looked down upon."

"You don't know how to chat! If I can afford to offend you right now, I'd give you a few big fights to wake you up."

Moni simply couldn't maintain his gloomy persona in front of Zhou Ke. It was as if there was always another thing to conquer another. He could only curse and stomp out his cigarette butt in frustration.

A few minutes later, he leaned against the car and looked at the pale sunlight that had almost no heat in the distance at the giant garbage station in front of him, and said to Zhou Ke:

"Do you know how I survived and escaped to the Bad Land?"

"I guess it has something to do with the slums you just mentioned?"

Zhou Ke looked at him, Moni nodded and said:

"My parents were killed in a bombing while on a business trip, right in front of me. The aircraft exploded just after it took off. After I was stripped of my identity, I was assassinated. It's easy to understand why my second uncle's family didn't want me to cause trouble for them.

If it weren't for my father's old housekeeper who risked his life to save me, I would have died in some sewer.

Later, I hid in a garbage truck and wandered into the town, where I met the smugglers from Snake State.

I begged them desperately to take me away. That was the first time in my life that I knelt down to a stranger. After that, I worked for them in the Seventh Ring City for three years to pay off the debt. I also spent a relatively easy and memorable time there.

I'm not afraid of your jokes.

In order to avoid being bullied in the Seventh Ring City, I became a bed partner for an older sister. It was also from her that I learned how to survive in the evil land.

For the remaining seven years, I continued to grow along the path I had designed for myself.
When I thought I was strong enough, I randomly found a town and signed up to be a fighter. I regarded escaping from there as the ultimate test for myself. If I could do it, it would prove that I had the ability of revenge. If I couldn't escape, I deserved to die there.

Then, I met you.

I think it's fate.

What do you think? "

"I think that's because your parents are blessing you from heaven after they passed away. If you hadn't met me, you would have died in the Castle of the End long ago."

Zhou Ke curled his lips and said:
"Your plan proves that you are still immature, but on the other hand, it is not bad for you to grow from a pampered young master to your current level in ten years. But you have been in Snake Country for so long, do you still have any connections there?
Isn't it said that there are smugglers from Snake State in the town outside the city?"

"Hey, I knew you wouldn't let this little boost go."

Moni smiled and said:
"We've made the contact, but don't expect them to provide any help. At most, they can get some weapons. However, the black market weapons and equipment on the aircraft you brought are enough to arm our current people, so the assistance from the Snake State is actually dispensable."

“No, you have to treat this line with care.”

Zhou Ke flicked away the cigarette butt, shook his head and said:
"If the worst comes to the worst and we need military support, I will most likely be able to get a Knight Commander from the Seventh Ring City to help us out."

"Brilliant!"

Moni was really convinced now.

Zhou Ke is indeed an evil male succubus. Even though he has offended the Snake Nation, he can still attract people. This kind of skill of maneuvering with the sleeves is indeed a skill that cannot be ignored, just as outstanding as his ability to cause trouble.

"Your people are here."

Moni looked back and saw Amei leading Lao Bai and his woman towards him. He blew out a smoke ring and said:

"I won't get involved, you talk to him." "Why be so formal? We are all in the same boat now, it's better for us to know each other so that we can take care of each other if something goes wrong."

Zhou Ke waved his hand to signal him to stay, but Moni asked in surprise:

"What's a grasshopper? Some kind of animal?"

"Tsk, poor creature."

He made such a comment, not even bothering to explain, and turned around to greet Lao Bai.

The latter was frightened when Amei held him hostage at gunpoint, but when he saw Zhou Ke from a distance, he immediately smiled.

This guy dragged his lame leg and limped over. When he saw Zhou Ke, he bowed his head to the ground without saying a word, which scared Zhou Ke.

Zhuo, this city-state area can transform people. Look, even Old White, the evil man, has learned to be polite.

"My son, get up! My son, get up!"

Zhou Ke smiled and helped the grateful Lao Bai up, then glanced at the taciturn woman beside him.

He recognized this girl as the one they had rescued in Tiger Claw Town. Zhou Ke also knew that Old White was able to escape from the Castle of the End because of this girl's risk-taking and performing an 18+ act with Old White in the carriage.

Now it seems that they met by chance, supported each other and developed real feelings for each other.

And looking at Lao Bai's appearance, clothes and his fatter body, you can tell that although this guy has fallen to living in a garbage dump in the City-State District, his life is still much better than his previous life in the Badlands.

Smiling face.

A truly destitute person would never be so happy and ridiculous.

"So, tell me, what do you do for a living now?"

Zhou Ke gave Lao Bai a cigarette and chatted with him like old friends, saying:
"If you really are begging in the garbage dump and are ambitious to become the king of the sewers in the city-state area, then I will be angry. I worked so hard to send you here not to let you be a beggar boss."

"How can that be possible! We are from Slag Town, so we can't embarrass you, right?"

Old Bai straightened his back immediately, but then collapsed again. He glanced at Moni, who had a gloomy temperament, and then said to Zhou Ke a little embarrassedly:

"My wife and I set up a camp here, and like Old Joe and his friends, we are going to set up a homeless shelter. We will organize people who have nowhere to go near the garbage dump into a team, and pick out some useful items to sell to the surrounding towns.

They had done this job before, but none of them had the skills to identify and knew how to distinguish good things. But I had a good eye, and over time everyone elected me as their leader, and now I am the village chief.

Of course, it is far inferior to you."

"Well, you are quite ambitious. You can get along well with those wanted criminals around you. It seems that you have discovered your talent. Not bad."

Zhou Ke nodded with satisfaction.

He really didn't mean to despise Walter White.

He knew very well that Old White's current living condition was the norm after the Badlands people sneaked into the city-state area. Even a guy like Old Taft who had a little money and connections would not plan his upper limit in the city-state area beyond Old White's current range.

The failed small businessman in front of you has done the best within his ability. You can laugh at his abilities, but you cannot laugh at his attitude towards life.

Zhou Ke said to Lao Bai:
"But you have to stop working on that village. I have a job for you. If you do it well, I'll give you a big villa in the city-state area. You can live a civilized life with your wife and don't have to stay in the garbage dump all day dealing with these things.

I won't hide it from you, this is a bit dangerous.

Because Moni and I are not convenient to show up, if something really happens, we won’t be able to get you out.”

Lao Bai hesitated.

In fact, when Amei "invited" him over with a gun just now, he knew that he was in trouble. If someone else offered Lao Bai such conditions, this timid businessman would definitely refuse.

He finally had a stable life and someone who was willing to endure hardships with him, so naturally he didn't want to take risks again.

However, it was Zhou Ke who proposed this
Ten seconds later, Lao Bai threw his cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, nodded and said:

"I'm willing to do it! But I can go alone. I'll ask you to take care of Xiao Du who is beside me during this time. I just saw Miss Qiao Ya nearby, so let her follow Qiao Ya."

"Your boss is Xiaoya, so neither you nor your wife can escape. Don't be afraid, I'm not asking you to die."

Zhou Ke shrugged, briefly explained what happened to Weng Mingyue, and said:
"You go to his place and be our contact person, responsible for the communication between the two parties and help us monitor the siblings. That guy is a great doctor, so as a job benefit, your leg will also be saved. In addition, Old Taff got Xiaoya's advice and wanted to open a bar near the outskirts of the city.

You can also buy shares.

Qiao Ya is in charge of this matter, so you can discuss the remaining details with her. Be alert and help Qiao Ya to handle these things. Maybe you can become an official in the future."

"Oh, it's just surveillance. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was scared to death."

Lao Bai grinned and said:
"I can do this job! Besides, I have several brothers who came here from the Central City because their families fell into poverty. They don't have any other skills, but they are very familiar with the terrain in the city. If it's just a matter of keeping watch, they can help."

"Okay, go to Xiaoya to apply for a place, and get the action funds to buy yourself some nice clothes, and buy one for your wife."

Zhou Ke said:
"As long as you can successfully take this order, there will be a great reward! Achieving class advancement is no longer a dream."

"Hey, if someone else said this, I would just think it was bullshit! But if you say it, it may not be the same."

Lao Bai responded with a smile:
"Then I will sell my worthless life to you, Boss Zhou Ke."

"Call me 'Boss'."

Zhou Ke snapped his fingers and said:
"Don't be so gangster. We are going to be tycoons in the future. No matter what we do, we have to be decent, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! What the boss said is right."

Lao Bai immediately changed his address, but before leaving, he still asked carefully:

"Um, did something happen in Slag Town? I saw Xiaoya wearing mourning on her arm. Did Mayor Qiao die?"

"Slagtown is gone, Old White."

Zhou Ke lit a cigarette and said calmly:
"Everyone is dead. We are the last residents of Slag Town. I came here today not only to give you a job, but also to give you an obituary. You are a member of Slag Town, and you should know the truth."

"what?"

Lao Bai's face changed drastically.

Although he didn't have much affection for Slag Town, sadness still flashed in his eyes at this moment. Because he came from the lower class, he knew how cruel this man-eating evil land was.

He tried his best to climb out of hell, but he didn't expect that Slag Town would disappear before him into history that no one cared about and no one remembered.

The saying "the fox mourns the death of the rabbit" is nothing more than this.

"Who did it?"

Lao Bai asked, Zhou Ke looked at him and said:
"It's better for you not to know the answer. If you know it, you will be implicated, but obviously, you are not ready to become an Avenger yet. So do your job well first and help Xiaoya build a career in the city-state area.

When that time comes, if you still want to be involved, we will naturally tell you.

Go for it. "

"Yeah, I understand."

Lao Bai didn't ask any more questions. He bowed to Zhou Ke, limped with his silent wife and turned to Qiao Ya. After they left, Moni said:

"The woman following him is no ordinary person. She is a powerful character with at least two lives in her hands! She has a knife hidden in her hand and was preparing to attack Amei just now."

"Nonsense, how can a woman who dares to cut off the penis of an old man who bullied her be simple?"

Zhou Ke blew out a smoke ring and said:
"To find such a wife is a lucky break for Old White after a lifetime of bad luck. Come to think of it, how could a poor couple set up a camp in a Darwin paradise like a garbage dump?

Tsk, a guy like Lao Bai actually has a good wife.

Congratulations."

He was about to say a few more words when he suddenly heard a "beep" reminder from the energy-enhancing device. He lowered his head and glanced at it, then turned to Moni and said:

"Let's go! Go back to the base, take a shower and clean up tonight, and find the most decent set of clothes to prepare."

"What? You want to arrange a blind date for me?"

Moni asked unhappily.

Zhou Ke shrugged and said:

"Almost. Tomorrow morning at 9:30, Weng Mingyue's sister will host us in the city. This is the first meeting between the two parties, so it must be formal.

Tsk, it only takes a few hours to make a decision.

This woman is really capable."
