Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 70 3. What is the name of the Central City? How about calling it the Fourth New Tokyo City?
"boom!"

The thumping sounded in the messy apartment, mixed with Warren's scolding:
"Let you murder your ex-wife!"

"boom!"

"This punch is for your poor daughter!"

"boom!"

"I gave you this kick because I couldn't stand you, you bastard!"

"Alright, alright, brother, stop beating him. This coward is about to die. Tie him up and take him away!"

Little Lake's voice stopped the ongoing violence, and soon two guys rushed out carrying a black body bag.

The man inside was still struggling, but unfortunately his hands and feet were tied and his mouth was gagged, so he could only passively wait for the judgment to come.

The two brothers stuffed the thing into the trunk and got in the car. Zhou Ke, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at the time, flicked the ash off his cigarette, and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Seven minutes. If you do this again next time, both of you will go back to work as waiters in Old Taff's bar. Wu Neng has blocked the security system, Qiao Shan has opened the door for you, and he has already fed you the food. Why are you still dawdling?"

"Uh, I promise I won't do that next time, boss."

The Taft brothers swore and promised painfully, and finally, with Zhou Ke's snort, the vehicle restarted, turned a corner and began to accelerate towards the city.

Under the "data magic" cast by Wu Neng's skillful hands, every camera along the way was unable to capture the specific information of the vehicle, allowing this thing to run rampant in the central city on this ordinary afternoon like a ghost car.

Zhou Ke turned on the radio in autopilot mode and tuned it to the public security station. He soon heard a mechanical voice echoing in it:
"Attention, security stations near 87th Street! The Black Dog thugs are gathering in groups. Three chase incidents have been confirmed. The thugs are moving quickly along 87th Street towards 30th Street. Security stations along the way please immediately activate the mechanical sheriffs to stop them!

The headquarters drone has been dispatched to observe whether the situation escalates. Please pay attention to coordinating street traffic at security stations along the way!
Repeat it again."

"Moni has started to take action. It seems that they have taken control of the warehouse."

Zhou Ke said to Qiao Shan beside him:
"According to the time, D-4 should be approaching there in a flying vehicle. When they arrive, you will take the Taft brothers and move with D-4. Evacuate after receiving the signal. This car is for you. Meet at the apartment tonight."

"Ok."

Qiao Shan responded.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhou Ke suddenly cover his chest and cough a few times, then put his hand to cover his forehead, closed his eyes as if meditating, and still muttered to himself.

"Are you okay, boss?"

Several minutes later, when Zhou Ke's breathing had returned to normal, Qiao Shan asked with some concern.

Zhou Ke waved his hands and said:
"Weng Mingyue said this is normal. It's like this when you first embark on the road of sublimation. Emotional control is the most important thing. But I don't think I've ever lost control. Speaking of which, you're also a biochemical warrior. Have you ever thought about unlocking your own road of sublimation?"

"Me? There's no way I can do that."

Qiao Shan curled his lips and said:
"Master Ohm once examined me and said that I have no psychic talent. He said this is not a bad thing, but it also means that I will never be able to become an Ascended Person in this life."

"That was before, it's different now."

Zhou Ke told Qiao Shan the results of Weng Mingyue's examination of Ajie and said:

"If our doctors can reverse engineer Ajie's psychic transformation technique, they can also use it on you, but you will need to be a guinea pig. There are definitely risks, so it depends on your choice."

"Of course I am willing."

Qiao Shan sighed and said:
"Although I boasted before and swore to avenge the people of Slag Town, the opponent is Rust Castle. Facing that group of robots, even Master Ohm doesn't dare to be arrogant. If I can't become an Ascendant, revenge is just talk.

I am not afraid of risks, as long as there is a chance! I am willing to take a chance. "

"We're willing to gamble, too."

The Taft brothers chattered in the back seat:
"Dad always wants us to live a good life with him in the city-state, but boss, you also said that this is just another bad land. With power, we are not afraid of being bullied, and we can protect our family and friends. Mom said that Dad looks shameless, but in fact he dreams of returning to his youth when civilization still existed, but everyone knows that is impossible.

We think that instead of staying in the city-state, we might as well go back to the Bad Land and do something like a good man. "

"Yes, with the cowardly attitude of the two of us, we can't find a decent job in the city-state area."

Warren complained:
"I heard that all the students who graduate from the consortium academy will be unemployed. Even if we are willing to work for the Acholi Consortium, they will look down on us. Badlanders should roam in the Badlands. Being a delivery motorcycle rider is much more cool than being a company dog here."

"See, this is what uneducated people do."

Zhou Ke pointed at the two funny guys in the back seat and said to Qiao Shan:

"They really believe everything I say, without considering the risk of dying on the lab bench. As the boss, you should teach them something when you lead them to do things. Even if they dare to fight and fight, they will only be lackeys for the rest of their lives if they don't have brains."

"I feel like you're making indirect accusations, boss."

Qiao Shan said with a straight face:

"I am also an uneducated, bad-earth person."

"If you know you are uneducated, then go learn something! Have you forgotten everything your aunt taught you?"

Zhou Ke cursed:

"Those who don't make progress will have no hope in this life. Even if you become an ascender, you still need to continue your studies. If you don't understand something, you won't be able to learn swordsmanship even if someone teaches you! Anyway, since you have inherited his legacy, don't embarrass your uncle Ohm in the future."

"boom"

Zhou Ke was still teaching some young people when he suddenly saw a car explosion as he was crossing a street corner.

Then a series of cars passed through the explosion area and rushed forward at full speed, followed by several vehicles driven by mechanical sheriffs.

The drones, which had already activated the attack mode, were roaring in pursuit, occasionally firing lasers to attack the vehicles, turning a peaceful street into a hot scene.

"They are thugs from the Black Dog Gang. It seems that Moni's plan to lure the enemy is going very well. These brainless cannon fodders have already been dispatched en masse. Let's change the route."

Zhou Ke narrowed his eyes and said:

“Hide for a while, you are not a fighter like Ajie, you will die if you are hit by a bullet.

I say again, remember to use your brain when doing things!

I don't want to have to explain to sniveling old Taff why his big, lively son was reduced to a pile of bullet-riddled corpses."
-
On 24th Street, in a warehouse in a back alley on the edge of the commercial district, the aircraft piloted by D-4 stopped steadily and quickly in the center of the warehouse. As the hatch opened, D-4, wearing a red dress and high heels, walked out. The slits on the edge of the long skirt like a cheongsam did not hinder combat, but her posture could not be connected with what this group of people were doing.

D-4's posture at this moment was just like a noble lady stepping off a private plane, which made Moni feel very upset.

He stepped forward and said to D-4:
"We are doing something bad here, can't you wear something low-key that suits the environment? I feel like it wouldn't be out of place for you to attend a high-class dinner now."

"Mr. Zhou Ke said this is my work attire."

D-4 looked at Moni coldly and said:
"do you have any opinion?"

"I dare not, I dare not have any opinion."

Moni knew D-4's background, so he didn't dare to provoke this killing machine that was infected with the awakening disease but hadn't gone completely crazy yet. After complaining a few words, he got down to business.

"The Monster Sample Inside"

"The wake-up procedure is already in progress. They will wake up from hibernation in fifteen minutes."

D-4 answered very professionally:
"There are a total of 127 monsters from outside the domain, all of which are small and medium-sized. Most of them are at a threat level of B or above. The awakening time of the seven A-level monsters will be extended by ten minutes to give the mechanical sheriffs some time to react.

How did your work go?

Mr. Zhou Ke required that when the mechanical sheriff arrived here, the supervisors of the Panis family and the Weng family must be present in the warehouse at the same time, and a reasonable scene must be arranged.

There is not enough time.”

"Snapped"

Moni snapped his fingers, and Amei behind him immediately grabbed a bag from the trunk of the car, tore it open, and threw out the tied-up person inside.

Others also took action and threw out the other people who were tied up.

"The director of the Panis Group's external publicity department who is responsible for connecting with the Black Dog Gang, as well as the Black Dog gang's second-in-command and his confidants are all here."

Moni pointed to the depths of the warehouse and said:
"The manager of the Weng family's warehouse was 'resting' in his office. The customs declaration documents and timestamps forged by Lord Wu Neng were recorded in his office equipment. These scattered pieces of information were enough to piece together the whole story of 'the Weng family killed people and robbed goods and were discovered by their competitors'.

We have done everything we should do, and now we are just waiting for Zhou Ke to come with the Weng family's supervisor."

"hiss"

As soon as he finished speaking, the harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground was heard outside the warehouse. Moni grinned and said:
"The last link has arrived. This is done! We can retreat now. Working with Zhou Ke is easy and enjoyable. We don't have to make plans, think about backup plans, or even charge forward in the hail of bullets.

Tell me, how did he get this brain?

"Mr. Zhou Ke is just using your boring time that you spend hating your enemies to think of evil plans."

D-4 also expressed her opinion on this matter, which was rare. She said:

"Mr. Wuneng's memorandum is full of similar plans, which were all drawn up by Mr. Zhou Ke when he was free, simulating various scenarios.

He enjoyed making plans as a way to relax and have fun. And he really enjoyed it.”

"Well, I seem to have heard a nice girl in a red dress complaining about her boss in private. This is not good. Talking bad about people behind their backs is a bad habit that only humans have.

Good robots must never learn this.”

Zhou Ke's voice came from outside the warehouse. When Amei opened the side door, she saw Zhou Ke walking in with Qiao Shan and the Taft brothers, carrying a black body bag.

At this time, sharp gunshots were heard at the intersection of 24th Street outside the warehouse, and mechanical sheriffs repeatedly read out warning regulations.

"Throw them into the aircraft."

Zhou Ke instructed:
"The crazy and hungry monster will help us get rid of the last piece of evidence. Unrelated personnel can retreat now. Moni, you should be prepared. Weng Meiyu may come tonight to call us to account.

In the worst case, she will unilaterally terminate the cooperation.”

"So? What should I prepare?"

Moni asked.

Zhou Ke stretched out a finger and said:
"A threat, a trap set in advance, and a car that can take us out of the central city. No one wants the situation to go to the worst possible stage. But if Weng Meiyu really can't accept our style of doing things and makes irrational decisions, then we can only part ways.

She grew up in this "land of gentleness".

Her understanding of 'struggle' doesn't seem to be consistent with our daily lives, which means that one of us must change our style of behavior as soon as possible.

It is best if we can keep pace with each other, but if not, we can only go our separate ways.

Anyway, the chaos we need is already on the table, and we can handle the rest step by step without her."

“So, today’s event is also a screening, right?”

Moni said:
"Just like what you did to Mark and the others in the End Castle, if the collaborators are not qualified, then..."

"Shh!"

Zhou Ke raised his finger and put it to his mouth, making a gesture to keep quiet.

He smiled gently with his eyes narrowed:

"Don't spread these terrible secrets between us. It would be bad if it scared others. What are you still standing there for?"

Zhou Ke looked at Amei and others behind Moni, and said in a more serious tone:
"Are you planning to stay here and change your job to 'Monster Hunter'? Or have you had enough of life and are ready to face the killing mode that the mechanical sheriffs have already started? Are you standing there stupidly waiting for me to personally teach you how to fake a crime scene?
Can you be more professional?

Get moving! "

Under Zhou Ke's order, Amei was the first to bend down, pick up Director Panis on the ground, and rushed towards the aircraft, and the others immediately followed.

Moni watched all this coldly.

He knew that after what happened today, his men would gradually regard Zhou Ke as the real leader, but this was exactly what he wanted to see.

He has a very clear understanding of the limits of his abilities.

He can establish an "underground dynasty" in a city-state with his brothers and sisters, but if he wants to defeat a behemoth like the Panis Group, he needs a maverick like Zhou Ke to take action.

From this point of view, Zhou Ke is more like a "professional manager" or "black glove" hired by Moni.

A few minutes later, as the conflict outside the warehouse gradually subsided, the Black Dog thugs that gathered did not last long in front of the Mechanical Sheriffs and their mechanical dogs.

After this group of lured mobs were defeated on the streets, some of them rushed to the warehouse in panic, which naturally attracted the mechanical sheriffs who followed them.

The mechanical police officers, who were under the "riot control protocol" due to a gunfight, formed an assault team and easily broke into the Weng family's warehouse. Then they naturally noticed the aircraft parked in the warehouse. The corpses and bloodstains around them instantly elevated the incident to the level of "murder".

As the mechanical police officers approached cautiously, the sample boxes placed in the storage compartment in the mid-section of the aircraft were also quietly changing.

The invisible countdown moves towards the end little by little, just like a beast opening its mouth, ready to feast.

Finally, after a female-looking mechanical police officer and two mechanical dogs stepped into the silent aircraft and saw the tragic battle scene and corpses in the cockpit, the green cursor representing "safety" in the sample box of the storage compartment all turned into red, indicating "on" at the same time.

"Ow!"

The first roar came suddenly, like a flash of lightning across the quiet midnight, causing the female robot police officer who was reporting to turn around suddenly.

The flashlight on his chest shone behind him. At the dark cabin entrance, a striped black panther walking in a "silent step" was looking at him with its big mouth full of sharp teeth opened.

The four scale-covered lamprey-like mouth tentacles on its sides also suddenly opened open, a classic re-enactment of a horror movie.

"what!!!"

No one knows why the brave mechanical sheriff reacted with such an outrageous scream when he saw a monster with a dangerous level of B, but there is no doubt that the overly humanized setting is useless in a critical moment.

A moment later, the mechanical head that was savagely torn off fell under the aircraft amid sparks. Under the opened storage cabin, the alien monsters that had awakened from hibernation had already filed out.

They are very anxious.

The unknown environment forces these monsters to enter the most vigilant combat state.

They are hungry too.

Fortunately, the sweet smell of prey is everywhere in this concrete jungle.

"Warning! Warning! A large number of dangerous monsters appeared at the end of Street 24. The attack took place near the medical supplies warehouse of the Weng Group!
We need support!
Repeat!
A large number of monsters are attacking, we need support!"

The first message transmitted through the public security network, mixed with the sound of crazy firing of mechanical police officers, completely broke the peaceful and ordinary afternoon atmosphere of 24th Street.

A working office dog just picked up his coffee with a yawn. When he looked up, he saw a black ape with a snake tail howling and lying on the window outside his office. Further away, several falcons wrapped in flames were trying their best to fly into the sky.

This magical scene left the company dog stunned.

For a moment he didn't even recognize what was in front of him. It was not until his brain had been shut down for several seconds that the word "monster", which had almost been forgotten about by the situation in the city-state area, came to mind.

Yes.

Outside the city-state area is the bad land, and outside the bad land is the occupied area. The entire world has entered the doomsday era. Such monsters are growing and roaring everywhere, taking over the world that originally belonged to humans.

They are powerless to resist and can only hide in the last city on the surface world, pretending that everything is fine, pretending that they still have classes to go to, and pretending that their 996 daily routine can bring the old civilization back from history.

But now, the appearance of the demon ape lying on the glass and roaring to the sky completely tore apart the last bit of deception and disguise in the hearts of all the corporate dogs in this office and even in this building, and once again brought back to their eyes the cruel doomsday that no one wanted to face and so pretended not to exist.

Those things seemed to be announcing to them without gentleness:
It's the end of the world! Why are you still working? Run for your lives, you idiots.

"Ahhh!"

The company dog threw the coffee in his hand, stepped back screaming, and threw the coat he had spent a lot of money on to the ground, and screamed:
"Monsters are invading! Run!"

"Drip drip drip"

A shrill warning sounded around 24th Street like an air raid sirens, and the central city's security protocol for dealing with monsters was finally activated for the first time in more than years.

The straight road surface sank and a mechanical isolation belt popped up. The metal poles on the street used to support monitoring equipment were also energized. In a very ingenious way, the "fallen" block was blocked by a high-voltage power grid in just a few minutes, trapping the monsters that broke out of the encirclement of the mechanical sheriff.

Metal cabinets like missiles were shot into the sky from all over the city, and after a short glide, they accurately crashed into the surface of 24th Street.

After the heavy metal cabinet was unfolded amidst the smoke and dust, the black military machinery hidden inside was activated.

They strode out with heavy weapons in hand, and the red eyeball-like radars in the V-shaped observation holes moved quickly, locking onto the monsters running around in the block.

A more deterrent group of military drones appeared in the sky and began to assist in the cleanup on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the bustling Street 24 was transformed into a battlefield where machines and monsters confronted each other.

"See, it turns out that Central City is definitely not as simple as we thought."

On the top of the high-rise building on 23rd Street, Zhou Ke, who once again played the role of "behind-the-scenes boss", handed the telescope to Moni beside him and said:
"This is a city that survived the apocalypse. Its fully armed appearance is the true majesty beneath its false appearance. Facts have proved that the Acholi Consortium had a sound crisis plan when it built the city. It's just that the years of peace here have made everyone forget the power that humans once possessed and the dignity that they should not have forgotten.

This 'stress test' is over!

The "bottom line" of our daily activities has long been defined by the city's rulers.

As long as we don't cross this line, this city will remain a decadent 'paradise', but when our violent actions go beyond the scope of 'law and order', the current military means of dealing with monsters will become a trouble we need to face.

With our current strength, we are obviously unable to deal with these ruthless guys, so we should keep a low profile."

Moni, with a cigarette in his mouth, nodded in agreement.

He used a telescope to look at the "bustling" scene on 24th Street at this moment. Even though he was born here, this was still his first time seeing the "real central city".

"Weng Meiyu will go crazy"

Moni blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile:
"That ambitious woman would never have thought that the 'partners' she found were actually two lunatics. Well, how pitiful."

"Why should we feel pity for her? She is now one of the crazy people. The true meaning of cooperation is for both sides to advance and retreat together."
