Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 65: My family, after working so hard in the evil land for so long, we are finally living a good life with flush toilets.

"click"

The driverless taxi, which was full of people, stopped outside a three-story apartment building outside the Fourth Ring Road of the central city. The door of the car opened, and Zhou Ke, wearing new clothes, stood up elegantly, looking around with his eyes behind his sunglasses.

"No need to look! I came here last night. This area is an external logistics warehouse of the Acholi Group. The entire block is the property of the group. Two blocks away is their staff dormitory, which houses about 600 people. There are no other forces besides this.

This place is very clean!

It's the perfect place to kill someone and hide the body."

Moni, who got off the car on the other side, also changed into new clothes.

He was quite satisfied with Zhou Ke's fashion sense, so he did not refuse the gift.

He was wearing a pair of large square-framed brown sunglasses on his face and a red necklace around his neck. A closer look revealed that it was a motorcycle spark plug, made into a very exquisite souvenir. This guy in a light-colored casual suit looked quite handsome, and when he stood with Zhou Ke, they gave off a feeling of "the black and white duo".

The two looked at the detached apartment in front of them. As expected, Moni, who had investigated the area nearby last night, put his hands in his pockets and said to Zhou Ke:
"I still feel that the other party is not well-intentioned."

"He just revealed his identity in advance. He is indeed someone from within the consortium, perhaps even a senior executive."

Zhou Ke didn't care at all.

Looking back at Qiao Ya, D-4 and Ajie who got off the second car behind them, the five of them gathered together, exchanged a few words and then walked towards the apartment in front of them.

Honestly, this place is pretty nice.

There are two gardens in front and back around the detached building. The well-manicured lawns are a delight. The surrounding area is separated by a wall, giving it the beauty of a small urban villa that is "quiet in the midst of a bustling city". It is the kind of residence that best fits the pretentious style of the petty bourgeoisie.

But when Zhou Ke looked up from the door, he saw several surveillance cameras.

This is just what is visible. He glanced at the energy device on his left arm. The screen showed that there were nineteen activated monitors in this ghost place. Judging from this density, this must be a "safe house" for the Weng siblings.

This made Zhou Ke feel more at ease.

Being able to invite them here means that the potential for cooperation between the two parties has increased again.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party chose this place specifically for the purpose of killing people and hiding bodies. Maybe a row of burly men will jump out as soon as the door is opened, and there may be a pervert in butcher's clothes sharpening a knife in the basement, and even a truck is ready to transport the body parts to the garbage dump outside the city.

"Amei and Ahong are leading people nearby. If anything happens, we will rush out and they will respond to us immediately."

As the black folding door in front of them slid open, Moni whispered something to Zhou Ke, who nodded and continued to walk in with a swagger. Then he saw Weng Mingyue standing at the entrance of the apartment to greet them.

The wound on the chubby doctor's face had disappeared, and he smiled and made a "please" gesture.

However, he couldn't help but shrink his neck when he saw Moni. He had some opinions about this "violent bandit" in his heart. On the contrary, he felt that Boss Zhou Ke was easy to talk to.

Well, he is blind at such a young age. This guy has no bright future.

"Is your sister in there?"

Zhou Ke took off his sunglasses and asked in a friendly manner. Weng Mingyue shook her head and said:

"My sister didn't come, but she will meet you via teleconference. This is not out of arrogance or suspicion, but simply because she is busy with work and can't leave. Also, this apartment is the place my sister gave you to stay, and you can live here in the future.

The water and electricity bills have been renewed for one year, and the security guards have been dismissed. I will hand over the key to the apartment soon, and this place will belong to you.

There are some supplies in the basement, but you have to prepare the guns and bullets yourself. We are not responsible for providing lethal weapons. If you need other daily necessities, you can call and place an order, and the surrounding logistics warehouses will deliver them quickly.

There are three vehicles in the garage for you to use, all of which are clean vehicles registered with the DMV.

But be low-key when you go out.

In theory, this is the property of the consortium, and it will be very troublesome if someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it."

"Wow, that's a big deal."

Zhou Ke's smile became more sincere. He held Weng Mingyue's hand and shook it up and down, saying:

"Say thank you to your sister for me. The boss is very generous."

"Nothing, nothing."

Weng Mingyue was not very used to this kind of meeting scene. He said a little stiffly:

"My sister said that this is a sincere demonstration of cooperation between the two parties. If you really have Aunt Fen's child, then as relatives, we should also provide him or her with a good temporary living environment. The rest
You can talk to my sister. She is in the conference room upstairs. The communication frequency band has been set up.

I have to go out again.”

At this point, the fat doctor glanced at Moni and said in a rather resentful tone:
"My original identity is no longer useful. I have to change my appearance and clean up the traces I left behind to avoid trouble again."

"Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go alone?"

Moni immediately showed an apologetic expression, he put his arm around Weng Mingyue's shoulders and said:

"Since it was my fault that caused you trouble, I will naturally be responsible for the subsequent problems. Shall I send someone to take you there?"

"No need, no need, I can go alone."

Weng Mingyue hastily refused, but Zhou Ke had already made a gesture and said to D-4:
"You and Amei go to protect Master Weng. Make sure he comes back safely. And use Mr. Weng's connections to get Amei a better set of leg prostheses. She is an important part of our combat force."

"Ok."

D-4, a cold "Oriental beauty" dressed in a bright red dress, nodded and followed Weng Mingyue in a very professional security posture.

This made the Fat Doctor quite helpless, but he had no way to refuse the kindness of his "new friend" and could only let D-4 catch up.

The rest of the people entered the room. It had obviously been cleaned in advance, and it was filled with a simple and beautiful "just move in" style. Zhou Ke stood in the living room and looked around with great satisfaction. He said to Qiao Ya:

"Go pick a room for yourself, and check if there are any problems elsewhere. Moni, let's go meet that 'onee-sama'."

"it is good."

Moni laughed and followed Zhou Ke upstairs.

He complained:

"This place is quite nice, but it can't accommodate our brothers and sisters. There are more than 40 of us. How can we all squeeze in here?"

"Xiaoya has an apartment in the suburbs. Old Taff has taken over the shop. We need people to be stationed in those two places. We also need to keep the suburban base. If we divide these three places, you won't have enough people."

Zhou Ke said:
“We have to keep recruiting, Moni!

There aren't enough members now to launch large-scale operations, and you have to subdivide your people.

The drivers, gunners, technicians, scouts, and logistics personnel all have to be reorganized so that they can be effective during the operation. Oh, and the medical team also needs to find a way to win over Weng Mingyue.

He is a good doctor in the City State District. With him here, the brothers and sisters at least don’t have to worry about losing limbs. "

"Yeah, that makes sense. His sister is now clearly ready to cooperate with us. Weng Mingyue's medical license has been revoked, so it's a good opportunity for her to come to us to help. It's also good for both parties to have a contact person."

Moni nodded and said:
"When he comes back, I will go and apologize sincerely."

"Don't make it too grand. Weng Mingyue is obviously a socially anxious person. Maybe the previous incident made him resist getting too close to other people."

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"You should be open to this kind of person. He is also a doctor with good medical ethics. You can ask him to check your body when you have nothing to do. Respecting his profession is the best way to get closer to him."

"There's a better way."

Moni snorted and said coldly:

"Didn't the Weng family send assassins? Let's go and kill those little bastards! It will help solve Weng's worries and also help him get closer to them."

"There's no rush for that."

Zhou Ke stood at the door of the small conference room on the second floor and said to Moni:

"For something like this that requires hard work, we have to wait for the other party to speak up and negotiate a price before we can move. What do you think this 'sister' wants to talk to us about? I guess getting rid of those assassins is the first step in the cooperation between the two sides, to test our strength.

What do you think? "

"You've already said it all, what else can I say?"

Moni complained:
"Go in, don't keep them waiting too long, it's impolite."

The two walked into the conference room with smiles on their faces. A unique projection device hung from the ceiling, and soon a holographic projection appeared in front of them like "3D printing".

The flickering lights outlined the background of an office with a rather upscale appearance, and Weng Mingyue's sister was standing by the window next to the desk with her back to the two of them.

Zhou Ke could only see the other person's very beautiful long wavy hair that fell to her waist, but just by looking at her figure and posture, he knew that this woman was definitely a "fairy", and a very scary "sperm-sucking queen".

"You are the ones who kidnapped my brother?"

The other party was very rude. She said:

"Is this how you Badlands people negotiate cooperation? I've long heard that the people there are tough and fierce. Now it seems that those outrageous rumors are not groundless. Before we get down to business, can you first tell me how you plan to compensate?
My brother was terribly frightened, and because of you, he was in danger of being killed. His perfect disguise identity can no longer be used.

I don't need to explain how much time and energy I wasted because of what you did. If converted into Consortium Coins, it is a loss you can't afford, so I hope you two can show some sincerity."

Zhou Ke and Moni looked at each other.

The two men shrugged at the same time, and Moni said:

"Since we caused the trouble, we will naturally be responsible for cleaning up the mess. By the way, let us show you our strength. We will take care of the assassins sent by the Weng family. We promise to do it cleanly and beautifully for you."

"That's it?" The other party said relentlessly:

"That's the associated trouble you should have dealt with. I don't see any sincerity in this."

"Then go ahead."

Zhou Ke continued:

"What do you need us to do? What do you want us to do? Most importantly, in the future cooperation between the two parties, what position do you want each other to play? Do you need us to be cold-blooded assassins who only obey you? Or do you need an action team that can respond quickly?

Or is he your brother's personal bodyguard?

These can all be discussed, and they are important aspects that must be discussed.

Only by defining each other's identities can we avoid a series of subsequent troubles.

We are in a weak position now, so we naturally don't want to take advantage of you, but since you have taken the time to talk to us, it means you have similar needs, so I suggest that we don't waste time guessing.

"Can we all speak frankly?"

"it is good!"

The woman in the picture was very satisfied with this statement. She finally turned around and revealed her face.

Not at all like Qiao Ya.

This made Zhou Ke breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Weng family's genes were not strong, and they did not produce the weird situation of "twins of distant sisters".

In this way, Xiaoya no longer needs to do more in-depth facial disguise.

But this does not mean that the woman in front of him is not beautiful. In fact, to be fair, this woman is definitely the most beautiful and charming woman Zhou Ke has ever seen since he entered the evil land.

"Weng Meiyu, you are indeed a little devil!"

Moni took off his sunglasses and said in a half-familiar and joking tone between old acquaintances:
"I had guessed who was behind Weng Mingyue before, and I guessed it right."

"Hello, 'Exile' Randy Motania Panis, welcome back to the Polis District."

The woman in front of him obviously knew Moni's identity. She smiled just the right way as if she was meeting old friends again and said:

"The expelled vicious dog has returned to its homeland with anger. It seems that the Panis family is in trouble this time. Do you know? Moni, a big reason why I agree to cooperate with you is because of you! Although our current situations are different, our identities are quite similar.

You have made no secret of your ill will towards the Panis family, and Mingyue and I also have accounts to settle with the Weng family. We are all poor people who have been kicked out of our respective families, so I wish us a pleasant cooperation in the future.

As for you."

Weng Meiyu in the stereoscopic projection looked at Zhou Ke, looked him up and down, shook her head and said:
“You can’t be Aunt Fenn’s son!

Aunt Fen is a bookish person and will not allow her child to become a violent person, but I believe that Aunt Fen must have blood left. Now is not a good time for both parties to meet, but as I said just now, given the current situation of the Weng family, we naturally have common interests.

So, let me see your abilities first, and then we can talk about cooperation in depth.

Getting rid of the Weng family's killer as soon as possible and ensuring Mingyue's safety is the top priority!
Secondly, you also have to help me with a few private jobs. I will send you the target information later and you can do whatever you want with it. There is only one requirement.

It must be done cleanly.”

"So, our current role is just as a killer?"

Zhou Ke smiled and said:
"Well, let's talk business. Murder is illegal in any environment, so the price for it can't be low. Moni has a big family to support, and so do I."

"vulgar!"

Weng Meiyu obviously doesn't like to talk about money.

This was in line with the exquisite persona she had created for herself, but facing Zhou Ke's gaze, she still took a step back and said:
"We'll calculate each order separately. There's no need to resort to murder. I just need you to do some investigations to ruin the reputation of those people, break their disguises, and expose their real lives to the upper class society in the city-state.

Understand? "

"I see. This is much simpler."

Zhou Ke nodded and took the order.

Weng Meiyu seemed very busy indeed. She chatted with Moni for a few more words about family matters and then ended the call.

A few seconds later, the target's personal information was re-projected. Moni took a look at the avatars displayed on the projector and frowned. He said to Zhou Ke:
"They are all famous ladies from several upper-class families in the central city. They are all noble ladies with high status. What is Weng Meiyu doing?"

“To suppress competitors.”

Zhou Ke gave the answer immediately.

A subtle expression appeared on his face, and he recalled the lively scene of the little goblins surrounding him in his previous life, secretly "fighting" with each other. He turned around and said to Moni:
"What is Weng Meiyu's current public identity?"

"The administrative secretary general of the Acholi Group's surface governor, His Excellency Acholi Jr. Ah, I understand what you mean."

Before Moni was exiled, he was also a playboy in the upper class of the city-state district. Zhou Ke just mentioned it to him and he immediately understood the whole story. Then he showed a disdainful expression and said:

"Woman, huh."

"Don't be like this, Moni. Everyone has their own way of living. The two siblings were kicked out of the house, and Weng Mingyue almost died in an accident. As a sister, she has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting her brother and secretly plan to take back the family business.

This path now is the simplest and most effective one she can take."

Zhou Ke didn't feel bad about Weng Meiyu's behavior. He gave Moni a cigarette and said:

"It turns out that my previous guess was correct. Weng Meiyu's power comes entirely from the favor of that little Acholi. It is normal for her to suppress her hidden opponent in order to consolidate her position. She is still a little smart and knows how to discredit the opponent through public opinion.

If this were to lead us directly to an assassination, I would have to give up this brainless partner.

As you said, these high-class ladies in the city-state may not be important figures in their respective families, but offending so many forces at once is a bit awkward even for someone like me who doesn't care about making enemies."

"So, how do we do this? My brothers and I have never been paparazzi before. It's easy for us to shoot, but..."

Moni was a little worried.

But Zhou Ke patted the energy-enhancing device on his arm and said:

"Leave this to me. I have the best hackers in the Badlands to assist me. It will be easy for me to dig up some explosive dirt. You and your people will deal with the Weng family's killers.

Take a two-pronged approach and get it done as soon as possible.

So, who are those assassins? Can the forces in the city-state area openly raise private soldiers? "

"Of course not!"

Money explained:
“Everyone turned a blind eye to this kind of thing in the past. As far as I know, the Panis family had an action team composed entirely of biochemical warriors ten years ago, who were specifically responsible for physically dealing with their competitors. But since little Acholi came to the surface to take office seven years ago, this behavior has been made illegal.

After selecting a few fringe consortium families as an example, the families disbanded their open armed forces.

The Weng family has been on a downward spiral since the change of head 20 years ago. They don't have the guts to offend little Acholi, let alone these killers.

It's simple, this is a desperado they found in the underground medical market.

Not only those lawless areas outside the central city, but also there are many bankrupt people in the central city who cannot pay their medical bills. There are also a large number of drug addicts, and those who use biochemical drugs and mechanical prostheses, all of whom are severely bankrupt due to medical bills.

When they encounter health problems, they are turned away by the regular medical institutions under the consortium due to their poor credit and financial problems, and can only seek help from the underground clinics controlled by the Weng family. Oh, by the way, most of those regular medical institutions are also properties of the Weng Group.

For these desperate people, a "limited-time free medical voucher" from an underground clinic is enough to make them take risks.

So theoretically speaking, if the Weng family really wants to take action, the number of "killers" they can mobilize is absolutely astonishing, so if you ask me, this time the Weng family is just "threatening"."

Moni blew out a smoke ring and said to Zhou Ke who was silently collecting information:
"The head of the Weng family, the Third Master, probably knew that Weng Mingyue was still alive. This time he took some action just to warn him and his sister to behave themselves.

Weng Meiyu's so-called "power" can't scare people at all! As long as the medical industry in the city-state area exists, as long as this demand is still there, even the little Acholi who is called the "Crown Prince" can't touch the Weng family openly.

What those in power need is stability!
The Weng family is one of the cornerstones of stability in this surface world that cannot be any smaller."

At this point, Moni sighed and said:

"The situation of the Panis family is the same. However, unlike the Weng family who controls the downstream industrial chain, the Panis family takes the high-end medical route. The private medical structures that serve the rich and powerful are all their industries, and the Panis Group monopolizes the biological weapons industry.

They also have connections with the Acholi Consortium's military deployed on the border of the occupied areas.

This is the most fundamental contradiction between the Panis family and the Weng family. Both sides want to swallow up each other and become the real monopolist in the medical industry.

Unfortunately, those in power will not allow this to happen, so the two families can only fight openly and secretly.

Zhou Ke, don't underestimate them, their power is not just in the city-state area, every box of medicine circulated in the evil land, every scalpel used in every operation performed by those black doctors, and even every roll of gauze, are all related to these two families. "

"Tsk tsk, the Medical Consortium is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Zhou Ke flicked his tongue and said:
"I roughly understand how difficult this game I'm going to participate in is. Well, this is much harder than escaping from the End Castle, but I like such a challenging job!"

He and Moni agreed on an action plan, first letting Moni's brothers and sisters move in and settle down, and then they would act in unison.

After seeing Moni off, Zhou Ke came to the master bedroom on the third floor, opened the bathroom door and looked at the white flush toilet inside. At this moment, a feeling of emotion surged in Zhou Ke's heart.

It would be difficult for people who have not experienced the poor sanitary conditions of the Bad Land to understand Zhou Ke's emotion at this moment, just as it would be difficult for people who have never been forced to wipe their butts with a rough cigarette box to empathize with Zhou Ke at this moment.

at last
Zhou Ke, sitting on the toilet, sighed and said that he was finally living like a human being again.
