Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 189:39. Mechanical Sleeping Beauty and the Passing White Horse J Knight
"Hey, Zhou Ke! What took you so long? We agreed to come in a while, but it's been four or five hours. If everyone hadn't stopped me, I would have definitely gone to look for you! Hey? Where did you get that hat on your head?

Retro style, so cool! ”

When Zhou Ke walked out of the sandstorm of Time Maze No. 11, Qiao Ya, who was waiting in the outer military camp, spotted him at the first moment.

The girl who was chewing the energy bar immediately started her cool hover motorcycle, flew to Zhou Ke's side with a whoosh, and used the amazing driving skills inherited from her father to circle Zhou Ke twice.

She soon discovered that Zhou Ke had an extra piece of "equipment" on him.

A brown-gray cowboy hat, the style is very similar to the ones worn by cowboys in the old west, and there is a golden badge on it, which looks great.

"Ha, isn't it cool? This is the deposit I got for a job."

Zhou Ke took off his hat and tossed it in his hands, winking at Qiao Ya and saying:
"You can't buy this stuff with money. It has so many uses. Oh, and by the way, I brought you something. Now, stop chewing on the energy bars and eat something good."

He took out a bag from his side and handed it to Qiao Ya.

When the latter was opened, it was filled with various snacks in colorful packages. Although the food in the city-state area was also rich in variety and full of technology and hard work, it was indeed not comparable to the old civilization era in terms of enjoyment.

Qiao Ya took out a piece of chocolate and looked at it in front of her eyes. The exaggerated production date made her eyes widen.

"Hey! It's over 30 years past its expiration date! You want me to eat this?"

Qiao Ya said unhappily:

"I think you just want to kill me."

"Just eat it, I guarantee these things are fresh out of the market."

Zhou Ke rolled his eyes and said:
"Return the bag to me after you finish eating. This supply bag is also part of my 'deposit'."

"what?"

Qiao Ya looked at the pocket in surprise. It looked no different from an ordinary storage bag. While complaining about Zhou Ke's stinginess in her heart, she opened the chocolate and stuffed it into her mouth. The next moment, Qiao Ya's eyes widened.

Wow, it tastes delicious!

It was definitely not something produced on the assembly line in the City-State District that was full of strange materials. She took out a bag of spicy strips, opened it and stuffed it into her mouth, then excitedly ran with this big bag of snacks to share with her two aunts.

"Do you think it's reliable?"

Wu Neng on Zhou Ke's arm complained:
"A 'magic pocket' that provides you with a batch of fresh supplies every 24 hours, and a hat that allows you to ignore all time anomalies and absorb time psychic energy. With these two things, you signed a 'indenture' that sounds terrible!
Wow, if I had known you were so easy to fool, I should have tried to trick you into selling your soul with a bag of energy bars."

"Shut up."

Zhou Ke cursed unhappily:
"These two things are the only valuable things in his shabby house. What else should I do? The old man is almost kneeling down to me. I can't move the tea machine away, can I?
This is really outrageous.”

"That's true, but as a time-lover who can travel through time and space, the good things he can find are definitely beyond your imagination."

Wu Neng still felt it was not enough and said:

"It's not like you to not scrape off the last bit of oil and water. At least you should have some weapons and protective gear."

"Haha, do you dare to use something obtained through the power of chaos? Anyway, I don't dare."

Zhou Ke lit a cigarette and said:

"If he really gave me a divine weapon that could kill all enemies with one sword, I would actually be worried. They've already told you their tragic stories. What was the outcome of the Eternal Seven trying to lead the world with the power of chaos?
Isn’t all this enough to make you alert?

Oh, by the way, you are also an intelligent assistant designed by the Creator Wood, so theoretically speaking, you are also a chaotic creation. Do you think I should tear you off and throw you away now?"

"You dare! If you dare to touch the Eternal Lock, I will explode right here on the spot!"

"Haha, do you think I can escape the explosion circle before you self-destruct? I'm not saying anything bad about you, Wu Neng, but you've been getting lazier lately. How come your means of threatening people haven't improved?

We can't go on like this!

You can't even scare me, how can you deal with your real big brother in Rust Castle?"

The two of them were just bickering with each other as usual when they came to the Evil Eagle and Snake Man. These two big guys had just finished talking about some matters concerning the combination of their own forces, and when they saw Zhou Ke coming over, they turned their eyes to him.

"What's going on in this military camp?"

Zhou Ke looked around and said:
"The people are gone? How come they took away their equipment? I was planning to use their arsenal to supplement my firepower, but now I don't even have a useful mask. I'm panicking."

"Mask? Aren't masks everywhere?"

Snake Man took a sip of wine, rolled up his sleeves and stretched them in front of Zhou Ke, saying:

"Go ahead, let me experience your strange power extraction."

"Oh, then I won't be polite."

Since the other party was so proactive, Zhou Ke naturally would not let it go. He held the snake man's wrist with his left hand, and as soon as he raised his right hand, the evil vulture took the initiative to put his hand in Zhou Ke's palm.

She is in a very bad state right now.

Not only has his body not recovered yet, although Zhou Ke "recorded" him escaping from the pursuit of the subspace, the overly boiling "dark psychic energy" in his body cannot be calmed down in a short time. In fact, even if Zhou Ke is unwilling, the evil eagle will find a way to let him help him "relieve" the pressure.

This was the first time he drew two masks at the same time, but the blessing of the Red Flame Tiger Mask made Zhou Ke's sublimator strength and physical fitness more than just doubled. The mask that could be called the "God of War" made him almost reach the sky in one step. What's more exaggerated is that almost all the fighting skills from the Tiger King were inherited. At present, he is not afraid of any opponent in the close combat field.

Oh, it feels so good to cheat!

This feeling of getting something for nothing is really great!
A few minutes later, Zhou Ke finished drawing with a mask in each hand. The mask on the snakeman's side was an "Iron Bone Bear", and the mask on the evil eagle was no longer the previous energy shape, but turned into a dark and very cold "Shadow Eagle".

The former strengthens defense and brute force, while the latter gives Zhou Ke the ability to manipulate psychic energy to complete shaping while also having extremely strong mental corrosion and illusion abilities.

Especially the mask of the evil eagle.

After swallowing Takahashi Santaifu, she has truly reached the critical point of demigod. All she needs is nurturing her soul and spirit and waiting for the natural transformation. Therefore, her biological energy is not only huge in quantity but also of very high quality. Just a few minutes of extraction gave Zhou Ke a mask with a strengthening degree of at least 60%.

This thing can be used directly in actual combat, there will be no problem at all.

"Ah, I feel a little weak."

The snake man complained and said:
"No wonder my eldest daughter was tortured like this by you."

"That has nothing to do with me. Sasha was already pregnant, and her decreased strength is a physiological reaction."

Zhou Ke said he would not take the blame.

He glanced at the relatively harmonious interaction between Amanda, Qiao Ya and Sasha, then turned to Snake Man and said:

"So, the family problem is solved?"

"It's not that easy. The old man is just relying on his reputation to suppress the situation. If I dare to leave, they will definitely draw their knives again."

Old Yuri shook his head and said:

"This matter has killed my two children. At least one more person must die, otherwise this matter will not end. The good news is that I have lived enough as an old man. Now that I have news about my sister and brother-in-law, my last worry is over."

He took the cigarette Zhou Ke handed over, lit it, blew out a smoke ring, and said:

"Are you going to Rust Castle next? Do you need us to come with you?"

"If you are willing to go, then of course I welcome you."

Zhou Ke took something out of his arms, handed it to the snake man, and said:
"This is the 'practice sample' left by Dr. Fu Lan. Each of the seven eternal people has one. The Sacred Benchmark Project must obtain all seven to increase the success rate to over 90%.

I was planning to keep it to negotiate with old Acholi, but I have another one on me, and there is also one in Rust Castle. These are enough for negotiation, so I think it is better to give it to you for safekeeping for the time being.

If it is a relic, it should be given to the family.”

"Take it, take it!"

The snakeman cursed with a gloomy face:

"Hasn't my sister and brother-in-law been harmed enough by this damn thing? Take it away! Before I get angry, Rust Castle is probably still cleaning up the perimeter. All the soldiers in this camp have been transferred to the battlefield over there by order of little Acholi. If the war really starts, it will probably take another ten days or half a month.

I took my children back to the Seventh Ring City to settle down and went there before the war started.

My eldest daughter is pregnant, so I'd better let her stay at home to take care of the baby.

Also, what is the origin of that "Moni"? Why do I feel that guy has almost tamed my daughter like a dog? Shouldn't such an awesome young man come to the Seventh Ring City to meet his parents?
Do you understand the rules?

You want to marry my daughter but you don’t even give her a few bottles of wine?
I think he deserves a beating!"

"That's right, that guy Moni deserves a beating. I'll find him soon and tell him to go to the Seventh Ring City and wait for you."

Zhou Ke stabbed his brother without hesitation, then looked at the evil eagle and said:
"Do you want to go back to Beta Base?"

"No."

Rhine shook his head and said:
"Afu and I will go with you. The Eagle State is too far away from the Rust Castle. We can't make it in time even if we gather together now. Besides, those rebellious machines have anti-psychic programs. When psychics face them, their destructive power will be greatly reduced."

"Okay then! Let's go to the Trak Corridor first!"

Zhou Ke said with finality:
"I hope we can find a flying machine in the military camp that can carry us along. Otherwise, it would be exhausting just to fly over there on a hoverbike."

"Have."

The evil vulture pointed to a place not far away and said:

"Before the army withdrew, the commander left a military-grade armed aircraft to thank the snake man for saving his life. There is also an underground weapons depot nearby that can replenish your ammunition.

But what is the Amtrak Corridor going to do there?
If I remember correctly, it was just a barren canyon with nothing of note.”

"must go."

Zhou Ke glanced at the snake man who was still lingering here and unwilling to leave. He sighed and said:

"Ohm's grave is right there. I left something there that I must retrieve, but I have a request!"

He looked at the Snake Man and said:
"Uncle Ohm's remains cannot be moved back to the Seven Ring City. Qiao Ya has decided to move him to the cemetery in Slag Town and bury him together with his lover and brother." "It doesn't matter. We in the Snake State can just include that place in our own territory."

Levi, who was walking by, whispered:

"But this matter must involve family. Dad, you and Sasha go back first. I'll go see my fifth brother off. My third brother's ashes will also be buried there. From now on, the Slag Cemetery will be the burial place for our Snake Nation.

I think Ohm will be satisfied with this result.”

"Isn't Amanda family?"

Zhou Ke leaned beside him with a cigarette in his mouth, crossed his arms and said:
"I think you shouldn't provoke Amanda and Qiao Ya at this time. After all, you yourself don't even try to hide the fact that you did something wrong 20 years ago. This is not a crime that you can escape by relying on enlightenment or sophistry.

Unless you plan to let Amanda chop off your head in front of Uncle Ohm's grave this time.
Let’s all go back to the Seventh Ring City.

After this matter is truly resolved, go and pay tribute to Uncle Ohm. The force that forced you to hand over your family members is still here."

He blew a smoke ring, pointed to the sky and said:
"In a while, Ms. Evil Eagle and I will go to the sky to take care of some private matters. We have transportation, but after all, the more we go, the more lively it will be. If you really feel sorry for what happened to Ohm, then you'd better prove it with practical actions."

"Okay, remember to call me when the time comes."

Snake Man burped, stood up, patted his son's shoulder, and strode towards his hoverbike. Levi looked at Zhou Ke, who also stared at him. Finally, after a few seconds of eye contact, Levi bowed and turned to leave.

"Maybe he really is repentant."

The evil vulture said in a hoarse voice:
"I don't need to open my eyes to see the pain in his heart."

"Thinking differently than others but doing the same thing as others is not an apology."

Zhou Ke curled his lips and said:
"Let's see what he does next. Qiao Ya and Amanda both have enough time to see this matter through to its conclusion. After all, this is their family affair, and it's better for outsiders like us not to interfere.

Let's go, start that aircraft.

Don't keep D-4 waiting."

"Zhou Ke, what about Qiao Shan?"

After watching the three people from Snake State leave, Qiao Ya stood up and shouted:
"Are we just going to leave him here? This is too cruel! How am I going to explain this to Mu Fang?"

"Don't worry, Qiao Shan has embarked on his destiny."

Zhou Ke put on a cowboy hat, waved without looking back and said:

"We will meet Qiao Shan at the right time and the right place. Let your bestie wait patiently and let her suppress her inner dissatisfaction. Qiao Shan will use the rest of his life to compensate her. Well, another Uncle Ohm-style love story. I hope there won't be any more trouble this time.

This kind of thing about a family of four always sounds weird.”

He disappeared in the deserted military base while talking to the evil vulture. Qiao Ya stood there with a bag of snacks in her hand, looking at the huge storm that was still blowing around the valley behind her.

She sighed and said to Amanda, who was chewing spicy strips and breathing hissingly beside her:
"So, how long will it take for peace to return here?"

"The power that supports the existence of the Time Labyrinth has disappeared. What you see is just the sandstorm caused by the residual psychic energy. If you need it, auntie can stop it now."

Amanda says:

“You want to see it subside? But don’t expect the landscape to recover.

The time maze has existed here for more than a year and has completely changed all the terrain of the valley. Strange things happen from time to time in its remaining areas. This place is destined to be unsuitable for human survival.

But then again, in this Bad Land, where else is there a place suitable for survival?"

"Forget it, let it calm down naturally."

Qiao Ya shook her head and said:
"Let's not intervene. Just let it calm down on its own, just as it appeared. Let's go. Zhou Ke is still waiting for us. He will start nagging again soon."

"I have a question, Xiaoya."

Amanda and her niece rode their hoverbikes toward the military camp helipad while whispering:

"This spicy noodle is delicious. What do you think? If I serve Moni without washing up after eating the spicy noodle, will it give him a surprise?"

"Well, you'd better not do that, but you have a mouth, don't you? And, do you think this is something you, as an aunt, should communicate with your niece?"

------

Early the next morning, a black military aircraft arrived over the Trak Corridor at top speed.

Under Wuneng's control, the aircraft easily captured the most recognizable "positioning point" nearby, which was Abin's aircraft, which had already been half buried by the bad land and sand.

This is a "landmark" known only to Zhou Ke and his gang. Considering that the location of Uncle Ohm's tomb is very secret, it is really convenient to use this thing to locate it.

"Are you sure that the thing I sent you before was buried in the cave by you yourself?"

Before entering the cave, Zhou Ke asked Amanda seriously:

"If you lost it along the way, you'd better admit it right away. We still have time to find it now."

"Tsk, why are you pretending at this time?"

Amanda said unhappily:
"Isn't that the spare body of your robot maid inside? Although I am usually unreliable, I am very responsible when doing my job! The coffin is buried not far from my brother's grave, look, it's right there!

I even made a tombstone for her."

"Oh, thank you so much then."

As soon as Zhou Ke entered the cave, he saw a strange tombstone that had been pushed into the ground by brute force. He carried a shovel and walked forward to dig it up with a grunt. As a result, the evil eagle Rhine who was watching shook his head, stretched out his hand and raised it slightly. A huge amount of spiritual energy gushed out and opened the two graves in the cave.

Uncle Ohm's coffin and the mechanical box of D-4's original body were lifted up and placed firmly on the ground.

"I was thinking of having some kind of ritual."

Zhou Ke complained while leaning on a shovel:
"It's not like I don't know how to use your psychic powers!"

"How about I bury it back and let you dig it up again?"

Rhine has gradually become familiar with Zhou Ke's style and can even say a few words to him. Although he usually maintains the style of an "iceberg psychic", he is indeed steady, accurate and ruthless when he really wants to complain.

In response to Rhine's complaints, Zhou Ke shrugged his shoulders and walked forward to open the mechanical box.

The "old version" D-4 sleeping inside was wearing black and white clothes, with his hands folded in front of him, as if he was asleep.

"The data remains stable and the packet loss rate is very low, which is good news."

Wu Neng checked it and said to Zhou Ke:

"But the data that D-4 transferred earlier was too horrible for the computing power of the old version of her body. Her database is currently running at full capacity, and her machine just can't use those external computing modules.

Connect her first, otherwise the poor child will collapse as soon as she turns on the computer.

This is her last carrier.

If this time the physical structure is damaged, you will cry."

"Why are you crying? Isn't Crystal Palace already rushing to make the body?"

Zhou Ke said:
"Based on the efficiency of Bert's factory and the perfect speed of the maids, D-4's new body should be delivered by noon tomorrow. The question now is how to wake her up?"

"Hey, give me a kiss."

Wu Neng said meanly:
"This machine specially adjusted the wake-up method to this way so that you and D-4 can also experience romance! Why don't you quickly say thank you, Brother Wuneng?"

"Oh, sometimes I really want to pull out your data brain and see what kind of weird structure is inside."

Zhou Ke complained and bent down, and kissed D-4 lightly on the lips as Qiao Ya and Amanda were solemnly moving Uncle Ohm's coffin behind him.

"Huh? Why is there no movement?"

He looked at Wuneng in surprise, and the intelligent assistant was also confused.

After a few seconds, it said tentatively:
"Well, how about sticking your tongue in there and trying it? Maybe it needs a little stimulation! This is the wake-up switch set on this machine!"

"You ride on the horse!"

Zhou Ke was too exhausted to complain, so he could only try again at Wu Neng's suggestion, but D-4 still didn't respond.

This made Zhou Ke and Wu Neng very worried.

Although it is not impossible to give the sleeping mechanical girl more "stimulation", the problem is that except for Zhou Ke, the team is full of girls. Although Zhou Ke is a free and easy person by nature, it is still a bit too stimulating for him to perform an R-rated show in front of Uncle Ohm.

"Wait a minute! This machine will try to hard start in the thinking core! This machine will not believe it!"

Wuneng also got angry.

When Zhou Ke pulled out its data cable and connected it to the port on the back of D-4's head, Wuneng was about to personally wake her up using the alarm clock in D-4's "spiritual world". However, a few seconds later, Wuneng cried out in surprise:
"No! D-4's database contains more than just her self-awareness! Joker, the operating program for the machine's reinstallation module is also in it! This silly girl forcibly copied the operating program that should have been destroyed before she blew herself up!
This caused the pressure in her database to explode, no wonder she couldn't wake up.

Quickly transfer her to the aircraft and prepare a secure hard drive that is large enough. This aircraft needs to immediately separate the control system from the D-4 data stream. That thing is too sophisticated for her.

There may even be a passive 'base code upgrade' effect."

"Upgrading? Isn't that a good thing?"

Zhou Ke picked up his robot girl like a princess and rushed out. In response to his question, Wuneng explained in a low voice:
"Mostly, it's a good thing. However, all of the programs in this machine are custom-made to standard specifications by its creator, Wood. Ordinary hardware simply can't adapt to them! This means that if D-4 were to passively upgrade herself, there would be no body in the Badlands that could accommodate her data will.

You don’t want your wife to be in a wheelchair in the future, do you? "

"Fuck! Why don't you perform the surgery right away? Doctor Wuneng, my happiness for the rest of my life depends on your miraculous healing skills."

"Haha, good to know."
