Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 66: Midnight Wind·Goodnight, Lan
"This machine still thinks there is something wrong with the way you use it. This machine is a high-level intelligent assistant, but you actually used it to download pornographic movies from the Bad Land."

Wu Neng's continuous complaints gave Zhou Ke a headache.

In the midst of repeated "slander", he couldn't help but interrupt:

"Please respect your professional ethics as a paparazzi. What do you mean by downloading a video? We are working for the future. Why is it so troublesome to hack into a surveillance camera? Isn't this a problem that you can solve with just a flick of your finger?
hurry up!
Dig up all the filthy private lives of those upper-class socialites, edit them randomly and post them online, add a few keywords to optimize SEO, make it more widely known, and it would be best if it could become a hit.”

"It's no use."

Wu Neng sighed very humanely and said:

"In the past thirty years, all technologies in this evil land have been regressing madly, but the entertainment industry in the city-state area has been booming. I just browsed the Internet here casually, and I can only tell you that the people here have seen and experienced everything!
What exciting and thrilling scenes haven’t people seen?
Just a few short color videos, they won't cause the waves you want.

The people here are so tired of seeing things that they need to go to Tiger Country to watch the death fights at the End of the World Festival to stimulate their dopamine secretion. Therefore, I must tell you pessimistically that being a paparazzi in this kind of hellhole is the most hopeless career plan. "

"Huh, that's what you don't understand."

Zhou Ke curled his lips and said:
"These things are not for common people to see. The result that Weng Meiyu needs to achieve is just to influence the preferences of the surface governor. No matter how good a man's appetite is, he will stay away from a person who has a decadent private life, may have been sick, has died, and has 17 or 18 spirit rings.

To put it simply, what Weng Meiyu needs is not facts.

What she wants is to spread rumors!

And the rumor must be well-founded. As long as she can prevent more women who are "on the same track" as her from appearing around little Acholi and let her have fewer competitors, her goal will be achieved.

As for the entertainment industry in the city-state area
Tsk, it's nothing more than the simplest nipple pleasure theory. There's no need to bring up for tasting something that has been talked about so much.

To be honest, in the precarious environment of the Badlands, if you want to live here peacefully and maintain a good mood, a wide range of entertainment methods and pastimes that can directly and deeply stimulate the senses are necessary.

It's the end of the world outside, and you, a cold machine, can't you allow the living people to bury their heads in the sand? "

"I understand what you said, but it's a pity that there's no hope if we continue like this."

Wu Neng rarely showed an attitude of "worrying about the country and the people". While helping Zhou Ke search the entire Internet for a camera to record the private life of a specific target, which was a very vulgar task, he righteously refuted:
"The current production capacity and technological level of the city-state are enough to unite the evil land and rebuild civilization, but they have no intention of doing so. Maybe the disaster caused by the fetal movement month really broke their backbone, but the machine's mechanical morality still does not allow it to choose to go along with this kind of "degeneracy".
Give!
The Badlands porn you need is ready!
Absolutely authentic first-hand surveillance, even captured a certain socialite undergoing medical surgery, which perfectly met Weng Meiyu's needs. "

"Wow, your 'mechanical morality' is really flexible and useful, Wu Neng."

Zhou Ke praised exaggeratedly and pulled out a special memory card from Wuneng's card slot.

With this thing, Weng Meiyu has passed the "strength assessment".

Moni and his brothers and sisters are searching the entire city for the killer from the Weng family. Anyone who participated in the hunt for Weng Mingyue that night is their target.

This job is not difficult.

Because Weng Meiyu used some means to provide Moni with the information of those people, and Wuneng, the "data ghost", stole the surveillance information to provide real-time tracking. With the exaggerated surveillance strength of the central city, as long as Wuneng captured facial information or gait recognition once, those guys would have no chance of escaping.

"Zhou Ke, Weng Mingyue is back, and he has something to tell you."

Just when Zhou Ke was about to lie down on the comfortable and clean big bed to rest for a while, there was a knock on the door and Qiao Ya's voice rang out, making Zhou Ke get up and open the door. He saw Qiao Ya in pajamas drying her hair, and it seemed that she had just taken a shower.

"It seems that the improvement in the quality of life has also made our Miss Qiao Ya smile."

Zhou Ke said this jokingly, then went downstairs amid Qiao Ya's laughter.

He quickly walked to the living room on the first floor of the apartment. Weng Mingyue was already waiting there. As he said, he had changed the exterior design for himself.

He is no longer the chubby guy as before, but now a thin young man.

The complete change in his face made Zhou Ke astonished at the "medical beauty" technology of the Evil Land Era. If D-4 hadn't been there to verify it, Zhou Ke would have been unable to recognize this guy. Even his gait had changed!
It's like becoming a different person in just a few hours.

"Don't be so surprised, Mr. Zhou."

Weng Mingyue seemed to be used to the expression on Zhou Ke's face. He touched his arm helplessly and said with a wry smile:
"After the accident, I had more than half of my skeleton replaced, my heart replaced with a cyborg one, one-third of my internal organs repaired with bionic technology, and even my skull and part of my spine replaced with alloy materials. To be honest, I can't tell whether I am still human or not.

Perhaps compared to you, the omnic lady next to me and I are more like the same kind.

For me, changing her look is as easy as changing her bionic skin.”

"For a fugitive who needs to avoid being hunted down by his family, this is an unexpected and wonderful talent. I don't mean to laugh at you, Mr. Weng. I am even a little envious of your 'face-changing' technology."

Zhou Ke sat on the sofa and picked up the kettle to make a cup of tea for Weng Mingyue, but it was better not to delve into the true ingredients of the thing in the teacup.

Even though everyone in the city-state tried their best to pretend that they were living in a civilized era, changes in the world's climate still caused the extinction of tea along with many other plants.

Even though the taste was imitated 90% similar, Zhou Ke still felt disgusted when he put it in his mouth. Who knows how much technology and hard work this thing requires?
"I'm here to convey a cooperation proposal to you, Mr. Zhou."

Weng Mingyue was not the kind of person who was good at talking. He drank a sip of tea and said to Zhou Ke directly:

"As we talked about before, with the help of my sister, I got a small laboratory and hope to study the Mr. 'Ajie' next to you. I emphasize again that I have confirmed Ajie's true identity through the biological samples obtained during the previous contact.

He is indeed the latest product of the Biological Weapons Research Institute of the Flash Organization!

Its biological blueprint was completely cultivated and strengthened according to the latest generation of biochemical warrior model. Its physical fitness and emphasis on strength exceeded the current level of biochemical warriors, but there must have been some problems in the later stage of the experiment, which led to Ajie's personality collapse.

I want to do some research on him to see if I can infer the idea of the Flash Organization. Uh, I haven't asked you yet, do you know the existence of the Flash Organization?"

"Of course I know, Mr. Weng. We Badlanders are obviously not as ignorant as you think."

Zhou Ke put down his teacup, looked at Weng Mingyue, and said:

"You also said before that you could help Ajie regain some sanity?"

"I can't promise."

Weng Mingyue answered honestly:

"I can only promise to do my best to help him repair his broken sanity. Sister said I don't need to hide this from you. We are partners. If this research can bear fruit, it can effectively consolidate Sister's current position.

Mr. Acholi, the surface governor, has always regarded the Flash Organization as a cancer in the Acholi Consortium system. Therefore, he will strongly support any action that can weaken the other party. Therefore, reverse research on Ajie is beneficial to both of us. "

"Okay, I only have one question left."

This matter concerns Ajie, the "old brother" who first accompanied Zhou Ke to conquer the world, so Zhou Ke asked very seriously:

"I know that Ajie is dying because of his personality breakdown. Do you have any way to make him live longer?"

"Well, how should I put it?"

Weng Mingyue touched his fingers hesitantly, and after a few seconds, he decided to confess the truth.

他 说:

“I can’t do it, and not even the Flash Organization can do it.

Personality collapse is an irreparable desperate situation for a biochemical warrior, not to mention that Ajie's brain has already developed physiological lesions. I can only do my best to help him repair his mind and do some external reinforcement to prolong his life as much as possible.

But with all due respect, Mr. Zhou, you have to be prepared to lose Ajie.

He is like a burning tree. The more vigorously it burns on the surface, the closer it is to turning into ashes.

I'm sorry, but brain damage is not reversible, so it's only a matter of time before he passes away."

"Can you change your mind? Well, forget it, just think of it as me saying something stupid because I care about you."

Zhou Ke waved his hand and said:
"Ajie is my most trusted brother! So if I can help him, I will certainly agree, but in exchange, I would like to invite you to become the private doctor of our group, Mr. Weng. I will just call you 'Mingyue', is that okay?"

"Okay, sister, you can call me that, too."

Weng Mingyue smiled and said:

“I’d like to help.

Because this will not harm my sister's career. In fact, I am also willing to help you complete the physical strengthening, Mr. Zhou.

My previous research on sublimators was all on paper, and you are the first person I have actually come into contact with who has embarked on the path of sublimation.

As someone who regards medical skills as a lifelong pursuit, I am happy to assist you in completing the breakthrough of the sublimation state. In fact, when I examined you before, I noticed that you have never used any strengthening drugs before, right? "

"Yes, my body is strong and pure, and I am proud of it."

Zhou Ke nodded and said:
"I have come this far thanks to my wisdom and courage, and of course a bit of luck. But I want to make it clear that even if I need to do a body enhancement, I only want the kind without side effects!"

"Well, this request is a bit demanding, but it is not impossible to do."

Weng Mingyue thought for a moment and said:
"I'll make a plan for you to review in the next few days. If there are no problems, we can start the practical process. I have to remind you that even physical enhancement without side effects will bring frequent physical pain.

Unless you are willing to burn your pain nerves, pain is an inevitable part of constantly editing and strengthening your nerve sensitivity, reaction speed and mental tolerance.

In this regard, although the research of the Acholi Consortium is not as extreme as that of the Flash Organization, I also have a full set of knowledge accumulation.

I am professional and the best at this.

You can trust me. ”

"Once you said these few words, I believed in your professional ability."

Zhou Ke stood up and shook hands with Weng Mingyue to reach a cooperation agreement. He said:
"You are such a pure person, you are really the opposite of your sister. I'm really curious about how you developed such different personalities?" "It's because of Aunt Fen."

Weng Mingyue explained seriously:

“In my heart, Aunt Fen will always be the genius that no one else can reach. When I was very young, I aspired to become an outstanding scholar like Aunt Fen.

But what my sister learned from Aunt Fen's story was that being weak as a woman does not necessarily mean that you will encounter disaster, so she decided to take another path. She believed that this was the only way to protect her and me and ensure that Aunt Fen's tragedy would not happen again.

To those of us who lost our parents at a young age, Aunt Fen was like our mother and elder sister.

I.
How should I put it, Mr. Zhou, my sister and I both believe that Aunt Fen must have a child left in the world. If he or she is really protected by you, then please do your best to protect our loved ones. "

Having said that, Weng Mingyue secretly glanced in the direction of the second floor, and then said goodbye to Zhou Ke.

A few minutes later, Zhou Ke walked to the second floor and looked at Qiao Ya who was hiding there and eavesdropping. He said:
"What do you think of your cousin?"

"I'd say he's trustworthy."

Qiao Ya, who was squatting in the corner and eavesdropping, sighed and said:

"But Uncle Ohm's life experience taught me that you can't judge people by appearances. I won't meet them now. I have to confirm what kind of people they are so that I can make a reasonable decision.

However, Weng Mingyue said that both he and his sister chose the direction of their lives because of their mother, which touched me deeply, Mr. Zhou Ke.

I also need to take some time to think about what kind of person I want to be after all I've been through in the Badlands."

"Thinking does not delay action, so, have you thought about what to do next?"

Zhou Ke leaned against the stairs and asked.

"what?"

Qiao Ya was stunned for a moment and said:
"Can't I work with you and Mr. Money? How about I help out in the pub that old Taff is going to open?"

"If you follow us to fight and kill, not to mention me, even Moni will not agree. You are just an ordinary person, Xiaoya. One bullet can take your life. Our business is obviously not suitable for you."

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"You can go into business, that's your previous life plan, but the problem is that it's just a tavern. Even if Old Taff sells all the wine, that's it for your whole life. If you plan to return to the Weng family in the future, you'll have a lot to learn. Otherwise, Weng Meiyu alone will make you drink a lot."

"What's your opinion?"

Qiao Ya thought for a moment and said:
"I'll listen to you."

"My opinion?"

Zhou Ke looked back at her, thought for a moment, and said:

"My suggestion is that you should go to school! Go to the Acholi Consortium Academy and learn something serious, to make up for your poor common sense as a Badlands person, and then gain knowledge to improve your management level.

Moni is a dropout from that college.

According to him, the teaching quality there is quite good, and they focus on training talents in various aspects for the Acholi Consortium, so as to deepen the consortium's control over the Badlands and City-State areas.

You can also look for traces of your mother's past in the city-state area if you are really interested in your mother's past.

You see, this is a very simple truth.

Your mother was an outstanding scholar. If she really left some information, I am sure that without a certain level of professional knowledge, it would be difficult to understand it, let alone read it.

Are you right? "

"Indeed."

Qiao Ya nodded.

She doesn't seem to have any interest in going to school.

The people of the Badlands have never considered knowledge to be a necessity in life, but what Zhou Ke said about her mother's past attracted her.

Her memory of her mother was that of a gentle housewife. After learning from Uncle Ohm that her mother was a scholar, it was normal for her, as a daughter, to be curious about her mother's past.

Most importantly, Zhou Ke is right.

Her current fighting power is totally insufficient to join Moni's small group, and her business experience is not as good as that of old Taf. Qiao Ya still remembers what D-4 told her, that in a mature team everyone has a position and responsibilities. Now that she has settled down in the city-state area, she should really think about her next position.

Following his mother's career plan is not a bad thing. Zhou Ke's team, where most of the team members have dropped out of driving school, does need a role similar to that of a scholar or think tank.

"Then I'll go to school?"

Qiao Ya thought for more than ten seconds, turned her head to look at Zhou Ke, and said nervously:
"But how do I get there? Do I need to take an exam? To be honest, although I learned some things from my mother, I don't have the confidence to pass the professional exam."

"Well, Wu Neng has already found out that in addition to the formal entrance examination, the Acholi Foundation Academy also has 'transfer students'. All you need to do is donate a sum of money to the academy's foundation to have a temporary student status.

You can take a leave of absence at any time, and the school system is quite flexible.”

Zhou Ke shrugged and complained:

"It's really a good rule that has not been inherited, and the bad ones are all gone! But it's a good thing for you. With Weng Meiyu's power, it's just a matter of moving a finger to give you a clean identity. I think no matter how bad the environment of Acholi College is, it is much better than the Bad Land, so you will definitely be able to adapt quickly.

If you really find your mother's information there, remember to tell me first and don't handle it on your own.

The fact that Ms. Fen's research results have attracted the full efforts of the Acholi Consortium to kill it is enough to prove how dangerous that thing is."

"Well, I see."

Qiao Ya felt relieved and nodded.
"Then I'll clean up and get ready, and I'll wait for your arrangements later."

"it is good."

Zhou Ke watched Qiao Ya turn and leave. Standing alone at the stairs, he said to Wu Neng:

"Tell me, isn't this girl a little too obedient? She wasn't like this before. She even dared to hide it from Ohm and run back to Tiger Claw Town in the psychic storm. To be honest, I wouldn't dare to take risks in that situation."

"Nonsense, you will change too after you've gone through what she went through in the past."

Wu Neng complained:
"After all, she is just a 19-year-old girl. She is already very strong as she has not been depressed by a series of tragedies and has become autistic. Now there are only a few people she can rely on. It is only natural for her to behave well in front of you, her 'temporary guardian'.

But you must send Qiao Ya to the Consortium Academy. In addition to asking her to help find clues about Weng Yafen's past, do you have other purposes?"

"Well, avoid frequent contact between her and the Weng siblings to avoid being exposed. In addition, no matter which world it is in, school is a relatively pure place, where the probability of her encountering danger will be greatly reduced."

Zhou Ke took out a cigarette case and said:

"What I just said was not a lie. As the daughter of a scholar, Xiaoya should not be completely ignorant of academics. There are already enough illiterate people in this evil land. Xiaoya should have an intellectual soul that matches her excellent appearance.

Moreover, we are indeed lacking someone who can analyze the core through appearances.

If Ms. Weng Yafen is really a genius as Ohm said, then Xiaoya, who inherited this bloodline, should have no problem handling the academy courses. In previous contacts, she did show a strong ability to accept and learn. I think the reason why Old Joe insisted that Xiaoya come to the City-State District was probably because he discovered his daughter's talent.

It would be a waste of talent to let a girl like this stay in the Bad Land."

"Yo, yo, yo, what's with that old fatherly tone of yours?"

Wu Neng said meanly:
"So, you just can't appreciate girls like this, right? You only like mature girls like D-4?"

"Shut up, you lowly useless robot who can watch his own porn movies!"

In the battle of wits and courage with Wuneng, Zhou Ke lit the lighter.

Just as he was about to raise it, he suddenly saw Wu Neng's screen light up. He was about to scold the obscene robot for wasting electricity, but then he saw the message on the screen:
“I am very pleased to see that you have safely escaped the crisis and arrived at the City-State District. The current situation in the Bad Land is not stable and is not suitable for your actions. Therefore, please patiently enjoy the quiet rest time and return to the Bad Land after you are ready.

I know that you are full of doubts about all the previous things, and I can reveal them to you.

The answers are hidden in Time Maze No. 11, but you need to be fully prepared before you can go there. Please note that the support options I provided are still available! If you need support, please reply with code -07.

Finally, good night, Lan."

"Wuneng. It seems we have seen a ghost again! Can this information be tracked?"

Zhou Ke asked, but Wu Neng didn't answer for a long time. Then, he sighed and said:

"Can't be traced! But it's definitely from Rust Castle, Joker. Those rebellious robots are really targeting us, and they seem to be very interested in you. They call you 'Lan', what does that mean?"

"Don't ask me, who can understand the brain circuits of these strange robots, but they gave us a direction, Time Maze No. 11. That's where we came to the Bad Land."

Zhou Ke lit a cigarette.

In the rising smoke, he looked out the window at the night scene of the city and said:

"Sure enough, the answer is hidden on the way here."

"What's next?"

"Next, we need to deal with the city-state issue as soon as possible, and then accumulate strength to find out our origins! I'm really fed up with these annoying balls of wool."
