Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 165 15. Great, it’s the Tiger King, we’re fucked!

As the founder and current leader of the Snake Nation, the beloved boss of the snake descendants in the Seven Ring City, Old Yuri was also a ghost-fire old man when he was young. It is said that he was also a famous racing champion of the old civilization.

Of course, with the technological level at the peak of the old civilization's development, the "racing" that old Yuri played back then certainly had nothing in common with the racing that the Badlands people understood.

When Qiao Ya saw old Yuri's "car" with her own eyes, she was completely stunned.

"What is this? Why does this car have no wheels?"

Qiao Ya felt that her worldview had been challenged. Sasha, with a gloomy face, explained unhappily:
"What? Is this the first time that the little princess from the city has seen a 'hoverbike'? This shouldn't be the case. After all, you are a big shot who can destroy the Seven Ring City with just a flick of your finger. You should have some experience, right?"

"Okay, wife, we are the elders, please stop embarrassing yourself, okay?"

Levi, who had changed into a knight's uniform, looked helpless and advised:

"They have already promised not to pursue the matter, so just stop talking."

"Why should I give in to her? This idiot knows nothing! She thinks we betrayed Ohm and that bitch. She doesn't even know the truth of what happened back then! She just lets Amanda, that idiot with a brain full of idiots, exaggerate and fan the flames."

Sasha cursed:
"She thought we were the ones who killed her parents. She has no idea of the pressure we were under."

"But we did do those things that were against our conscience. Pressure is pressure, and facts are facts. No matter how much you explain, it can't change the fact that we were the first to let Lao Wu down."

Seeing his wife was about to throw a tantrum, Li Wei's face suddenly turned cold. He said:
"So, that's enough! What happened in the past is in the past. Keep some dignity and don't make dad angry anymore. He doesn't like to hear this."

"bang"

Just as Levi finished his words, the door of the garage that had been closed for many years was pushed open, and old Yuri, who was wearing a large motorcycle suit and a colorful turban on his head like an old gangster, walked into the garage burping.

How exaggerated is this guy's figure?
The guy next to him who was holding his favorite weapon belt was 1.9 meters tall, a real tough guy, but just reached old Yuri's chest.

This guy's height is definitely over 2.7 meters. A normal person wouldn't grow like this. Even if he lived to be over a hundred years old, this body shape would be very abnormal. He looks like a brown bear walking upright.

A physique like Wu Qinhu can be called "miniature" in front of the snake man.

Even his special hoverbike is two times bigger than others. After activating the anti-gravity engine, it looks like a floating "racing driver's throne".

Old Yuri has a rather exaggerated beard, and the years have left clear marks on his body, making that white beard seem to have "stories" written on it. This old man, who in Amanda's words had long lost his "ambition" and allowed alcohol to paralyze himself for twenty years, stood at the entrance of the garage, looking at the six hovercrafts from the old civilization parked inside, one large and five small.

He was rarely sober in all these years, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

"Ohm's car number 5 is yours."

He threw a key to Qiao Ya and said:
"Although you have refused to inherit your father's position and responsibilities, and have no interest in becoming the next leader of the Snake Nation, you can't refuse a gift from an elder to a younger one, right?"

"You can have this."

Qiao Ya walked to the hovercraft with a mixed white and cyan paint job, her eyes full of admiration. This foreign thing from the old civilization was so beautiful!

The entire streamlined design of the car looks very much like the "racing boat" in the stories my mother told me.

There are no wheels at the bottom, but instead there are support poles like those of an aircraft. After being started, it will float above the ground. The six thrusters of different sizes at the rear are also decorated into a particularly chic shape, and it is also equipped with a weapon system.

There is a missile launch port right below the vehicle, which is loaded with missiles of astonishing caliber. There are also laser cannons on both sides of the vehicle, but they are more used for self-defense.

She jumped on it.

I thought the hovercraft would shake because of this, but the latter's gyroscope is obviously very powerful, and the whole process is extremely stable.

"The driving method is no different from that of an ordinary motorcycle, except that there is an additional steering wheel to control the Z-axis. Just like flying an aircraft, you can lift it up and it will take off. It is recommended that novices do not drive too fast, otherwise you will spin in circles in the air, which will be very funny."

"Second Uncle" Li Wei smiled and gave some instructions, then said to Qiao Ya:
"Your father returned it when he left. Perhaps it was destined to be left to you. Your aunt Amanda's car No. 4 was set to follow mode. She knew that her betrayal would cause her trouble, so she didn't take this thing with her.

But now that we have spoken, it is natural that what belongs to her should be returned to her."

"What about Denard's car number 3?"

Qiao Ya blinked, looked at the fiery red flying motorcycle, and said:

"Would you like to take it with you?"

"Bring it on!"

Snake Man, who had ridden on his suspended motorcycle, waved his hand and said:
"That's a gift for 'Lan'! As I said, there's no reason for him not to accept a gift from an elder to a younger one. Xiaoya, you have to go with him too."

"You can't take her!"

Sasha rode on the No. 1 hoverbike painted with blue lightning. She stuck a retractable spear into the weapon slot of the motorcycle and said loudly:

"This time I'm going to fight with you and Wu Qinhu. I don't think Wu Qinhu will be alone there. The stupid Biaowei of Hubang must be there too! Although they are useless, they have the advantage of numbers.

We can't guarantee that we can protect a weak girl in a battle of that scale."

"That's your and Levi's problem. If you two elders can't even protect your own little niece, then don't even bother being a knight commander. So, find a way to solve it yourself!"

Snake took his favorite armor belt and fastened it around his fat belly with a click. Without even turning his head, he said:
"How long are you going to delay paying the debt you owe to your brothers? Do you really think your father is blind? I'm saying this! As long as Xiaoya comes back safely, all the bullshit that happened before will be written off.

If she gets hurt, I will personally send you two heartless people to see Ohm and Denard."

"Old man! Are you really getting old and confused?"

Sasha couldn't stand it anymore.

But she didn't feel aggrieved. She had a very open character and she just did what she did. But she knew that her husband had been feeling guilty all these years. Today, she was hit continuously by Qiao Ya and her father, which made Sasha completely explode.

She cursed:
"Back then, you were the one who almost rushed out and exploded with Old Acholi under such tremendous pressure. It was Levi who gave the news to protect you and the entire Seven Ring City! That's right, my husband and I became traitors.

But if we hadn't taken the blame, Snake Country would have been gone twenty years ago!
It's exactly the same way that damn girl threatened me today. They said the same thing back then.

I really don't care.

I know I saved these people, but you can't just be so unreasonable and put all the blame on Levi! He has been begging for your forgiveness on his knees every day for these years.

Amanda is a dork.

I don't blame her for not knowing the whole story, but Ohm knows! Lao Wu knows the pressure we are under, so he would rather remain anonymous for so many years than return to the Seven Ring City. He knows that he can't ask his second brother to choose between him and the entire Snake State.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Denard made the wrong decision under great pressure that night at Niujiao Gorge,

"The third brother has more conscience than the two of you. At least he knows that he has done something wrong and should die to atone for his sin."

The snake man's attitude remained cold.

He glanced at the sky and said:
"Maybe I should have rushed out that night, turned that damn Garden of Eden into ruins and died under their lasers, so that my children wouldn't have to kill each other for my old bones."

"So what's going on?"

Riding on her father's suspended motorcycle, Qiao Ya blinked her eyes. She pieced together some facts and said:
“Twenty years ago, it was old Acholi who personally came forward to put pressure on you?”

"It's more than that."

Riding on the green-painted "Poison Water" motorcycle, Levi lit a cigarette and sighed sadly:
"They didn't want anyone to discover the truth they were hiding, so when Weng Yafen touched on a corner of the truth, we were dragged into the hostility of the entire Garden of Eden. That night, they forced us to choose between our brothers and the lives of the entire Seven Rings City.
If we choose wrong, those proton torpedoes waiting in orbit around the planet will rain down from the sky.

The way they exerted pressure was much more brutal than yours, niece. In fact, I have always felt that their actions that night were not just to get the whereabouts of Lao Wu and Weng Yafen, they also wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Dad, the uncontrollable factor.

I sensed their evil intentions, and made the decision that turned me into a parricide.

It was me who almost killed your parents, Xiaoya, you have the right to hate me.

Don't take Denard's behavior too seriously. The third brother has always lived a very twisted life. He was almost going crazy under the pressure from both sides. Maybe he went to find Ohm that night just to seek an end.

He died in your hands.

He is freed.”

"But I don't understand why the real 'Emperor' of the Bad Land era of old Acholi would target old Yuri?"

Qiao Ya rubbed her forehead and said:

"That doesn't make sense. Didn't he leave the Acholi Consortium together with Wu Qinhu? The two sides have clearly drawn a clear line. If Old Yuri really has some secret that they can't stand, then logically speaking, he would never be able to leave that system."

"Good question, little girl."

Old Yuri placed an exaggerated machete in the weapon slot of his huge hoverbike. He turned around and said to Qiao Ya:

"Do you know the true identity of your guardian? Do you know why he is called 'Lan'?"

"He doesn't even know it himself! He went to Time Maze No. 11 just to find out."

Qiao Ya answered honestly. Old Yuri grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth like a bear, and said:

"Do you want to know?"

"Ok!"

“Then follow along, don’t fall behind, we can all find the answers there, you and me, as well as Sasha and Levi, and the children who have died, all their doubts will be solved there.

This world, this era, the Garden of Eden above, the lost old civilization, and those memories that even I cannot determine are true or false. Memories that are incompatible with their records and have no resemblance to them. How did the world end?
Is the world really going to end?
We will all get our own answers at the end of this journey. Yes, Roger also called me to join him in attacking the Rust Castle for the sake of old Acholi's desire.

but.
Fuck old Acholi!

I submitted my resignation long ago and am no longer the social animal that he can dispatch. If I must bleed, then I hope that my children and I can freely choose where to shed our blood. "

The snake man twisted the throttle, causing his hoverbike to emit a low roar like the roar of a steel beast.

With his white hair and beard flowing, he said:

"If Zhou Ke is really 'Lan', then I held him in my arms when he was a child! Ha, I've finally waited for this. I thought he would continue to rot in this hell. Sasha, did Levi write in his suicide note?"

"It has been left to those three guys."

Levi put on his helmet and said:

"Dad, have you written your suicide note?"

"Haha, a lonely ghost like me doesn't need that thing. The suicide note written here can't be sent to where it should go. Since the past grudges are over, let's go. Take your niece with you to keep the appointment that will come sooner or later."

"Well, I haven't written mine yet. Is it too late to write it now?"

------

"Huh? What do you mean Wu Qinhu is blocking us in front?"

The Eagle State's aircraft was landing, and Zhou Keben was planning to take some time to pay his respects at the ruins of Slag Town, which was not far from Time Maze No. 11. However, he heard this bad news from the Evil Eagle.

Rhine sighed and said:
"It means exactly what it says. Roger and Wu Qinhu escaped from the time maze of the No. 2 Research Institute a few days ago. Roger doesn't intend to continue to tangle with you, but Wu Qinhu is holding on to you.

My brother reached some agreements with Roger, and he told the news to your partners. Just now, Weng Meiyu sent this news through his psychic communicator. Wu Qinhu is faster than us. We don’t know whether he came alone or with the Tiger State’s guards, but what is certain is that he does not intend to let us go. No, he does not intend to let you enter Time Maze No. 11 smoothly.

So I am also very curious, Mr. Zhou Ke, what did you do to make Wu Qinhu hate you so much?"

"I can't come."

Zhou Ke rubbed his eyes and said:
"A single incident of causing chaos in the End Castle shouldn't have caused that guy to go to such lengths, and based on our previous contact at the Second Research Institute, I suspect this may be a 'personal grudge'. He seems to be quite concerned about my other identity, and even mentioned some details that I was also concerned about.

For example, the 'Eternal Singularity' project, I am said to be involved in that project."

At this point, Zhou Ke raised his head and looked at the evil eagle and asked:
"Did you see this word in your father's notes?"

"No."

Rhine shook his head and said:
"I can memorize the information I saw in his notes, and I can also be sure that there is no information related to the 'eternal singularity', but the word 'eternity' appears very frequently.

In that notebook, it appears as the name 'The Eternal Seven.'"

"Oh? Sounds like an organization?"

Zhou Ke became interested. He glanced at the ground which was getting closer and closer, and said as he packed his things:

"While we still have some time, before we are shot down by Wu Qinhu's iconic 'anti-material javelin', please satisfy my tiny curiosity. I guess your father is one of the 'Eternal Seven'?"

"Well, he is, his nickname is 'Inspiration Acholi'."

The evil eagle also began to organize her combat weapons. She said in a concise tone:
"In addition to him, I also know that Mr. Wood, the creator of Enlightenment and the 'Fire of Awakening', and Toth, the enlightener who clarified the existence of psychic energy and the subsequent series of power systems, are both in this team of seven.

But the names and information of the remaining four people were erased.
It's not tearing or blackening, but some force distorts cognition.

I'm sure I've read their names and information, but I'd forget them as soon as I looked away. This was clearly some high-level psychic power at work, and could even be considered a 'meme'. Perhaps only when enough conditions were met could I decipher the identities of the remaining four people.

But just from the identities and abilities of these three people, it is not difficult to find that the identities and status of the Eternal Seven in the old civilization are definitely extraordinary.

I even suspect that the 'Sacred Benchmark' project that my father has been promoting came from the design of this team, and if the importance of the 'Eternal Singularity' project is consistent with it, then it is definitely an action that is promoted by other people among the Eternal Seven.

Unfortunately, I can tell you with certainty, Mr. Zhou Ke.

There was no such organization in the Badlands era, and neither the surface nor the Garden of Eden had enough resources to support two huge projects at the same time."

"Yeah, I see, thank you for your explanation."

Zhou Ke nodded, and then was pulled and hugged by D-4 and jumped out of the aircraft through the broken window.

The next second, a mechanical javelin whizzed in from the ground and pierced into the aircraft's engine. The violent explosion created a dazzling ball of fire in the air. The kinetic energy brought by the explosion pushed D-4 and Zhou Ke to spin several times in the air and lose their balance.

D-4 tried to open the thrusters to balance herself, but Zhou Ke in her arms took out a mask and put it on his face. The next second, as his skin color changed and his psychic energy was released, a pair of huge stone wings spread out behind him, allowing Zhou Ke to let go and hug D-4, then fold his wings and fall from the sky.

This mask is called "Gargoyle" and comes from the hunt in the chaos of Beta Base the night Qiao Shan woke up.

This was the first time Zhou Ke used it to gain the ability to fly, and after landing, the wings closed like a shield to protect the two of them, facing the fierce and brutal slashing and attacks of the Tiger Bang Biaowei who rushed out from the ground, and the rocky wings were chopped into pieces.

But this thing's defensive power is really good.

When the fire from the aircraft exploding in the sky spread to its maximum range, it was strangely "compressed" again, and finally turned into a highly compressed "fireball" in Rhine's hand. It was then thrown away with one hand by the evil vulture, who withstood the explosion unscathed. Seeing this, the guards on the ground immediately scattered and avoided it.

The explosion flames, which were refocused in a rather unscientific way, smashed into the ground and created a huge crater. Behind it were purple-black psychic balls filled with unstable energy. Under the precise manipulation of the evil vulture, it created the spectacle of a small land bombing.

But she did not linger in the fight. After helping Zhou Ke out of trouble, she took A Fu and flew away in another direction.

When the Biao guards surrounded them with psychic shockwaves, the only one left was D-4, who activated the breakout mode and soared into the sky with the explosion of thrusters.

As for Zhou Ke
This coward had already run away wearing the Crow Assassin mask.

Although knowing the ambush plan in advance did not allow him to make a sophisticated countermeasure, he could execute the "Ni Ge Lu Da You" strategy before the other party could react, and Zhou Ke and E Jiu did not even need to communicate verbally.

For their cunning counterparts, an eye contact before the crisis is enough.

Time Maze No. 11 is so big that if all else fails, they will have to disperse and sneak in from different directions. It is impossible for Wu Qinhu to block all the entrances to the maze. Once they enter the time maze, in that chaotic area, Wu Qinhu's numerical advantage will be instantly eliminated.

It would be great to defeat them one by one when the time comes.

When the second Jiubang aircraft following behind saw its leader being attacked, its first reaction was to immediately change its flight direction to avoid the firepower fired into the sky by the Acholi military below, without any intention of going forward to provide assistance.

The psychic masters of Jiubang might be a little crazy, but they are not stupid.

In this kind of situation where the opponent is well prepared, the best way is to avoid the opponent's attack. Just rushing forward like this is not helping but a tactic of committing suicide like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather.

"Ah, this Roger is such a waste!"

Wu Qinhu, standing on the hillside in front, looked at this fruitless ambush with a look of pain on his face. He didn't even need to guess to know where the problem occurred.

It must be Roger who leaked the information, causing Zhou Ke and Evil Eagle to know the siege plan first.

The cooked duck once again grew wings and flew away.

But the complaints and grumbles were only for that one time. Wu Qinhu had fought with Zhou Ke in the No. 2 Research Institute. He was even the only "audience" who witnessed Zhou Ke's breakthrough to the sublimation state. He knew that Zhou Ke was difficult to deal with, and he didn't even have much confidence in this ambush.

For him, this was just a greeting to the other party, so that they would be alert in their next actions.

"Boss, do you want to continue searching?"

A burly guard behind Wu Qinhu, leaning on a long-handled sword, asked:

"Their aircraft exploded. They can't get far. They must be nearby. How about we..."

"What are you searching for? Everyone has run away, let's pack up."

The Tiger King waved his hand casually and said:
"When the explorers of the flash of light are ready, we will enter the maze. We and they both know that it is the battlefield chosen by both parties. Everyone can go in openly, but only the final winner will have the capital to leave with the secrets inside.

But I have no interest in the secrets inside, so we can complete this hunt without distraction.
Franny!"

"exist!"

The female Biaowei with a cool mechanical prosthetic eye responded. She was full of fighting spirit and was obviously ready to fight. She would tear apart all enemies for her mentor Wu Qinhu at any time.

But the order she received was beyond her imagination.

"You stay here."

Wu Qinhu said:

"Wait seven days! If I haven't come out yet, take your people back to the End Castle and follow Roger's instructions. If it's not me who comes out, you don't have to avenge me. You will be the new Tiger King of Tigerland in the future! I left something for you in the office.

If the worst happens, if I die and Zhou Ke survives."

The Tiger King turned around and looked at his favorite disciple. He leaned on the replica blade and was silent for a moment, then said:
"Then he is the new friend of the End Castle, the patriarch and pope of all believers of the End. You can choose to obey him and offer him your and Tiger Nation's loyalty, or you can choose to stay away from him. It's up to you.

I guess, having found out his true origins by then, he wouldn't refuse. But if he can't even get past me, he's nothing but a 'eternal singularity'!"

"What?"
