Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 217 7. What? The hated Zhou Ke is going to heaven? That's a good thing!

"Remember to bring some useful things with you. Have D-4 give this machine to her remote port for safekeeping. If necessary, find a high-level omnic to kill, and then plug the port into its control center. This machine can remotely assist you in combat through the hyperdimensional radar.

Also, be prepared for the worst-case scenario!
What I mean is that you'd better equip D-4 with more life support equipment and modify her propulsion system.

This way, when you encounter the worst-case scenario and need to "penetrate the atmosphere alone", D-4 can hold you and jump directly from the Garden of Eden!

If you really want to do that, remember to just jump!
Don't think too much. No matter where you land after landing, the aircraft can gather a group of rescuers to pick you up as quickly as possible.

This surface is our territory now, and everything will be easy once we get back."

Zhou Ke felt annoyed listening to Wuneng's nagging instructions, especially at this time, this cool mechanical overlord was like an old mother packing luggage for her sloppy son who was about to go on a long journey. He kept filling Zhou Ke's suitcase with various things carefully selected by Wuneng in his room in Panis Ecological Park.

Of course it can't be ordinary goods like clothes.

Zhou Ke didn't quite understand the mechanical devices that Wu Neng put into the suitcase, but he could guess that they were basically for D-4, with only one purpose, which was to temporarily enhance D-4's combat effectiveness to the level where it could escort Zhou Ke alone to escape from the Garden of Eden when necessary.

After all, Wuneng himself said that among the various action plans it listed, there was an outrageous option like "single-soldier breakthrough into the atmosphere."

"I say, can't you just use your magical transformation gears to transform into a vehicle or a suitcase or something and go with me?"

Zhou Ke, who was leaning against the door, wearing a loose T-shirt, said helplessly:
"If you're really that worried about me, you see, I've been with you ever since I came to this damn place. Without your help, I might have choked to death in the Garden of Eden because I drank the soup too quickly, or I might have accidentally fallen to my death while using the toilet."

"Nonsense! Why wouldn't I go if I could?"

Wu Neng turned his head, and a helpless look appeared on the face covered by the mechanical bucket helmet. It sighed and said:
"But this machine checked the cargo ship at Almais Air Base and found a very subtle data interaction structure in its entry and exit records. You should not have forgotten it, right?
The main body of the Black Wall program is still in the Garden of Eden. It will actively scan every spaceship that connects to the Garden of Eden. Once it finds an unregistered advanced intelligence like this one, it will immediately launch a capture program. That thing is a "natural enemy of intelligent machinery" specially designed by its creator Wood.

Although this machine is not afraid of it, you are visiting secretly with a mission. If there is a commotion in the star port, we will have to attack the Garden of Eden in advance.

The problem is that the Evil Vulture is not ready yet, so it is better not to alert them in advance."

"So, I have to find a way to knock that thing down in advance this time?"

Zhou Ke lit a cigarette and said with a frown:
"Otherwise, when we attack the Garden of Eden, the Evil Vulture's spacecraft will have difficulty connecting to the starport. But I know nothing about this stuff. If even your intelligent thinking can't withstand the capture of the Black Wall algorithm, then D-4 certainly can't do it either."

"So, this machine has prepared that remote interface for you!"

Wu Neng snapped his fingers and said:
"After you go up, remember to find a chance to insert that thing into the processor of the Garden of Eden. Any place is fine, as long as it can be connected to the control center of the Star Colony. Of course, if possible, the closer to the main body of the Black Wall Algorithm, the better. The rest will be left to this machine and Han Chuer.

The girl planned to make a virtual transponder according to the machine's suggestion to assist the Evil Vulture's aircraft to safely access the Garden of Eden without triggering the alarm. Of course, it would be even better if there was an insider to help occupy the starport landing area in advance.

After we get in, I will go over and fix the black wall algorithm myself.

Well, speaking of the subsequent operation, you will have another important task to shoulder when you go to the Garden of Eden this time.

Hey, this thing!"

Wu Neng stretched out his left hand, and the mechanical structure on his arm opened. In the precise structural flip, he handed something similar to a USB flash drive to Zhou Ke, and said:

"After you board the cargo ship this afternoon, remember to plug this thing into the ship's console. You don't need to know too much about its specific use. This machine will receive data in real time to write flight instructions for the 'armed ship' of the Evil Vulture and forge shipping signals to avoid being locked by the Eden Space Station's defense system.

That thing hasn't taken off in fifty years.
Zhuo, if the worst happens, this machine may need to act as the control center of an armed spacecraft and use hard wiring to turn itself into a temporary battleship host. "

"It sounds difficult, but I know it won't be difficult for you, my powerful Wu Neng."

Zhou Ke took the USB drive in his hand and chatted with Wu Neng for a few more words. Soon it was time to leave. A hovercraft stopped in front of the room. When the hatch opened, he saw Moni leaning on a chair in beach pants and sunglasses, looking like an idiot who was going out for vacation.

Amanda next to him was even more exaggerated. She had already put on a bikini while still on the ground.

Zhou Ke was very suspicious whether this was another part of their play, but considering that this trip to the Garden of Eden was indeed a "honeymoon vacation" for these two guys, he didn't say much.

D-4 went out with the suitcase, and Zhou Ke changed into a loose casual outfit and boarded the aircraft, which would take them directly to the Almes Space Center. Little Ajolit had specially approved the ship tickets, and even lent the super VIP aviation cabin that only the archons could enjoy to the four of them.

Wuneng stood at the door of the room and watched Zhou Ke and D-4 take off. Zhou Ke waved to it at the hatch. Wuneng acted very coolly and raised his mechanical arm to give Zhou Ke a thumbs up, as if he was sending off the "plague god".

But at the moment the hatch closed, Zhou Ke raised his arm and saw a thing called "Escort Program" light up on the "Old Genius Phone Watch" on his wrist.

"It didn't express its concerns in the end, did it?"

D-4 whispered beside Zhou Ke:

"I just don't understand. Mr. Wuneng was quite cheerful when he was still an intelligent assistant. Why does he seem to have changed his personality now? He knows that he should express his concerns and wish you a safe journey.

But it seems like it has suddenly been infected with the 'shy virus' and would rather prepare everything for you in silence than say goodbye in person. "

"It's just a dead tsundere. There's really no hope for this smart assistant."

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"It's like it knew that if we were unlucky this time, we might not be able to come back, but it still kept silent and listed a long list of ridiculous backup plans, even saying something like 'single-soldier atmospheric penetration'."

"Heh, do you believe that if we really encounter danger in the sky, you just call out and Wu Neng will transform into a spaceship on the spot and rush out of the atmosphere to pick you up?"

Moni pushed up his sunglasses, handed Zhou Ke a cigarette, and complained:

"Based on my understanding of Lord Wuneng, it is definitely capable of doing this to protect your safety.

But it has been very busy recently. As far as I know, there are at least three projects that require Lord Wuneng's personal participation. In addition to Xiaoya's complex calculations, Wuneng will also serve as an assistant and place a mechanical clone there to maintain participation.

It is much busier on the surface than we are in the sky.

But think positively.”

Moni leaned back in his chair comfortably, hugged his "legally married" wife's waist, blew smoke rings and said to Zhou Ke:

"If we are unlucky, the world will end in two or three months, and there will be nothing to worry about. Death is like the extinguishing of a light. I used to think about how I would face death if it really came.

Then when the end of the world really comes, I will find that I will just have to deal with it.

As long as a person is alive, he has to work hard to live another day. He still has to eat and sleep.

So I suggest you don’t feel any pressure. If the bird world can be saved, it can be saved. If not, wouldn’t it be better to just let it lie down?

Anyway, I have enjoyed all the food and drink I should have enjoyed in my life. When I was about to die, I tricked a wife back home, and I saw my parents get their revenge with my own eyes. I have no regrets in this life."

"You just got married, okay? Don't fast-forward to this state of a middle-aged, exhausted old man with no desire for life!"

Zhou Ke cursed:

"Do you know that every word you say now is just a stab in the back of yourself? Your woman doesn't even take good care of you. Sure enough, the old saying about marrying a virtuous wife is true. I'm talking to you, Amanda!"

"what?"

Amanda, who was discussing combat techniques with D-4, looked back at Zhou Ke blankly. The clear stupidity that emerged on her charming face made Zhou Ke cover his face helplessly.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Moni couldn't help laughing. He patted Zhou Ke on the shoulder and said:

"You see, it's still useful for your wife to be a little stupid, right? You bastard, you can't even stir up any conflict between us. She doesn't understand what you are saying at all."

"Zhao, sleeping with an idiot is against the law, you bastard! Just be thankful that you were not born in the old civilization, otherwise you would have been shot countless times with your bad life."

Zhou Ke pushed Moni's hand away and blew a few smoke rings in frustration.

When the hovercraft left the central city and approached the Almes Space Base, he turned around and said to Moni:
"I wasn't kidding. We might die in the Garden of Eden this time. To be honest, even after developing to this stage, I still have no chance of winning against Abin.

Although that guy died a long time ago, considering the wisdom and image he showed in this series of events, I felt a little nervous, as if I was going to face a big boss. Even the elusive old Acholi didn't give me so much pressure.

The main reason is that I'm not sure what this Abin wants to do.
So, was the suicide note written?"

"Who am I writing that for?" Mooney sighed.
"I am a lonely man with no relatives who can accept my suicide note. I killed all the relatives of the Panis family except a few side branches. My brothers have gathered together before, and Amei has a new life. Now, apart from you and my wife, I guess not many people will care about my life or death, so I simply left nothing.

He only left the property of Panis Ecological Park to Xiaoya, which was a gift from her aunt and uncle.

If this ghost world can survive in the future, and if they can all survive the end of the world in this apocalyptic world, Xiaoya can live comfortably for the rest of her life guarding the ecological park.

Look, this guy is pretty nice, right? "

"That's really awesome, it's great for our family."

Zhou Ke gave a thumbs up and then chatted with Moni about some things that men are interested in.

He had sent Xiaoya to the Almes Space Base before he fought Roger, but this time they were in the "Supreme VIP" cabin, so they naturally didn't need to queue up with the others.

The floating vehicle drove directly into the apron deep in the terminal under the escort of drones. After getting off the vehicle, there was a special transfer platform and floating elevator. Basically, there was no need to walk a single step and boarded the middle area of the cargo spacecraft ten minutes later.

Compared to the pitiful seats and space of other passengers, the aviation cabin reserved for the surface governors is as large as a palace. Let’s put it this way, the VIP cabin that Weng Mingyue took when she went to the Garden of Eden last time was already outrageous enough, but compared to the cabin where Zhou Ke and the other four were staying now, that place was as cramped as a public toilet.

"Zhao, I thought I was already a prominent figure in the Badlands Reservation, but I still couldn't imagine the daily lives of those truly powerful people."

Moni stood in front of the observation deck of the exaggerated 360° panoramic aviation cabin, overlooking the entire Badlands Reservation from this height, and turned back to Zhou Ke, who was sitting at the bar enjoying the bartender service of D-4, and said:
"It's hard to imagine what kind of a life this little Acholi has lived since he was a child. You see, in the old civilized era, a noble like him would have been a very important person."

"Do not be silly."

Zhou Ke said without raising his head:

“The coming of the end of the world is for most people. For a guy like little Acholi who has maxed out his reincarnation skills, the quality of life he can enjoy in the doomsday era will not be much different from that in the old civilization era.

Even because the order was destroyed at the end of the world, they were able to possess authority that was impossible in an era of sound order.

Let's not talk about these unpalatable topics. Before the aircraft takes off, I have to go to the control console with D-4. Considering that the four of us will share this space for more than ten hours, you two should quickly solve any personal needs. "

"Damn! There are so many rooms here."

Moni felt that Zhou Ke was pointing at the monk and calling him a bald donkey, so he scolded him:

"I'm not going to do anything restrictive right in front of you. I don't know what you're going to do at the control console, but I advise you to take it easy and not blow up the aircraft. You might survive, but I can't."

"Shut your crow mouth."

Zhou Ke finished the glass of wine, looked at the time, then stood up and left with D-4.

The spacecraft obviously had a very complicated internal structure, but D-4 had obtained a complete set of blueprints of this thing before boarding the spacecraft. Now he took Zhou Ke to play hide-and-seek, avoiding the defense machinery patrolling inside the aircraft and intervening in the monitoring to clear a path for Zhou Ke.

They entered the control room of the spacecraft safely, and found that it was unmanned intelligent driving as expected. It was indeed difficult to find professionals who could operate such equipment in the Badlands era. At least, the Acholi Consortium Academy was unlikely to teach this kind of high-tech thing in the old civilization era.

Following Wu Neng's instructions, Zhou Ke inserted the USB flash drive that could transfer data into the hidden port on the console, then stepped back a few steps to wait for it to take effect. He stood in this very complex and sophisticated area, looking around, and said to D-4 after a few seconds:
"Tell me, how long has it been since anyone came in here?"

"If I had to guess, it would be at least ten years."

D-4 scanned the surrounding details and said softly:

"Although there is a perfect constant temperature and humidity environment, it is difficult for dust to accumulate here and naturally there is no need for cleaning services. The exaggerated technology left by the old civilization allows this aircraft to maintain itself if it is given enough authority.

In other words, the craft could still make regular round trips safely without the need for a pretentious flight crew.

Even after the complete extinction of humans in the Badlands, it can still maintain this frequency and continue to operate until the surface base is destroyed.

I know what you mean. Just like the core of the Badlands Reservation, humans are just pretending that they are manipulating this complex and sophisticated system. They are just pretending that they still have an advantage.

Pretend that you are still alive, pretend that you are still maintaining order.

But in fact, after that night thirty-eight years ago, mankind has lost control of everything.

As you commented when you first entered the Polis area, this place is just a poor imitation, and this aircraft further confirms your theory."

"No, I'm not going to make a scathing comment about the world today. I'm tired of doing that."

Zhou Ke leaned against the control console and lit a cigarette for himself in the heart area of the spacecraft, which was theoretically the most important area but no one had been to for at least ten years. This outrageous act was enough to get him kicked out of any aerospace device in any era and detained for at least 48 hours.

But no one cares about that anymore.

He patted the control panel beside him and said to D-4:
“I think that when this spacecraft was built, it was definitely not just for delivering things from the surface to the Eden Space Station. People at that time must have given it a sufficiently far-reaching and important mission, which must have been a glorious mission that was of great benefit to civilization.

But now, like everyone else in this world, it has lost that glory.

If there really is such a thing as a 'machine soul', I guess this machine would have been crying silently for decades.

It might prefer to be dismantled or destroyed by disaster the night civilization falls, rather than bear such a sad mission in this era. "

"No, I think if it could think, it would be thankful for what happened to it."

D-4 stepped forward, stroked the cold outer shell of the console, and said:

"It's a tool. Remember what I told you? Tools are meant to be used. It's a great fortune for this spaceship to still be used after the end of the world.

You are right. When it is born, it will be given important and glorious duties, but in the final analysis, it is also serving civilization.

Perhaps in your opinion, the civilization of this world has long ceased to exist. However, this aircraft transports things to the Garden of Eden like a beast of burden. Isn't it maintaining the last breath of this civilization that is dead but unwilling to rot?
Instead of feeling sad and desperate about it, it will feel honored and proud.

Because the responsibilities it undertakes now are more important than those undertaken in the old civilization era, and are even directly related to whether the last human beings can retain their last hope. "

The robot girl paused.

She looked at the silent Zhou Ke and said:

"So, let's help it, shall we?"

"I'm helping. If I didn't want to help I wouldn't be here."

Zhou Ke blew out a smoke ring, but D-4 shook his head and said:
“Just because you are doing something doesn’t mean you like it. Just because you are fulfilling your duties doesn’t mean you will do your best. Your personality is like that. You won’t have any enthusiasm for something you don’t like. You will just complete it step by step.

For example, your help at this moment is more based on the identity and mission of Eternal Singularity, based on the prayers of Professor Valsenko, and the hope that Joeya, Moni, and Amanda will not perish silently in the doomsday.

These are all reasons, all what motivated you to embark on this path.

But they cannot truly activate your inner desires and interests.

For example, your adventure in the Castle of the End, your recklessness in the City-State District, and your enthusiasm in the Time Maze No. 11. That is the manifestation of your true "working state". But the current situation is like this. If we just take the risk with the attitude of "completing the work", then I am very pessimistic about the final result we will get.

You hate this world.

You have never concealed this fact, so how can I convince you to devote your enthusiasm to this abomination? "

"Oh, I'm beginning to miss when you were still dumb, D-4."

Zhou Ke sighed and said:
"I really want to persuade myself to pay more attention, but the fact is that this seems to be just a job for me. Who likes their job? I obviously need a little... um, 'personal grudge' to stimulate myself.

Hopefully, I'll find what I need on this trip to the Garden of Eden."

"Aren't you going back to the cabin?"

"No, I'll stay here. No one's coming anyway. You know what Moni and Amanda will do there. To be honest, I don't want to set foot in a place where they stay."

"Well, that's true. I'll stay here with you, in case you really come up with a bold idea. Now there is only this one spaceship left, at least it's the only one left on the surface. If it really gets blown up, we won't be able to go to the Garden of Eden."
