Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 227 17. My nickname is "Santa Claus", so let's guess a coin

"The nanoswarm is in very good condition. Your body is indeed the product of the biological technology of the main timeline. It is perfectly receptive to all beneficial enhancements. The only problem is that no matter how strong a body is, it always has its limits."

Han Bin in the laboratory was checking Zhou Ke's physical data. He turned his chair and said to Zhou Ke who was getting up from the physical examination instrument:
"When you start to mobilize the Chaos and Doomsday symbols in your body to fight, your body will be under considerable pressure because of the rapid absorption of energy. The more fiercely they fight, the greater the strengthening effect released by the nano-swarm, but that means that you will reach your limit faster.

I'm about to say something that no doctor will like.

I think you should eat well and do whatever you want for the next while."

"unlucky."

Zhou Ke rolled his eyes and complained:
"I'm not doomed. I'm just taking the necessary steps. Although I know that the prospects of you and old Acholi are hard to describe as optimistic, I suggest that we should still have confidence in the future. Miracles will always happen.

Well, I have finished my usual stale chicken soup when communicating with people I am not that familiar with but have to maintain a good relationship with. I hope you feel happy because of my compliments, because next I am going to ask a question that may make you angry. "

He walked up to Han Bin, used his psychic power to pull a chair over and sat on it, lit a cigarette in a very uncivilized manner, and said:
"Before I came to the Garden of Eden, the Evil Vulture told me some very bad news, and my conversation with you and Old Acholi here also confirmed the truth of that bad news. The Fetal Movement Moon will soon trigger a reproduction moon of unprecedented scale on the surface because of 'birth'.

I have no confidence in the fighting power of those idiots in the Bad Land. Without external intervention, they would probably be wiped out when the first batch of monsters entered the material world. Although at that time, most people who I think have some talent are unlikely to stay on the surface and wait for death.

But how should I put it? After all, this is where I fought, so I still want to ask
In Eden's plan for this reproductive moon, how do you plan to deal with the monsters that want to destroy the Badlands Reservation?
Don't tell me you're not prepared at all?"

"This is unnecessary preparation, Zhou Ke."

Han Bin looked at him expressionlessly and said:
"There are only two possible outcomes for this matter. Either the Sacred Baseline Project is activated, cutting the timeline to bring everything back to before the absolute time point, completely erasing this 'concept' before the first disaster occurs, or the next reversal cycle is initiated as I planned, and all these things that are about to happen will be forgotten as if they never happened.

Of course, if we count the failure of the experiment causing the entire timeline to be blown up as a result, then we have three futures to choose from.

But unfortunately, no matter which future it is, there is no Badlands Reservation."

"But this isn't a two-person game between you and old Acholi. Didn't the three of us agree on this?"

Zhou Ke knocked on the table and said:
“Before the cooperation broke down, we were the best partners; after the cooperation broke down, we all had the right to choose the future, so I think I also have the right to express my opinion on the ending plan for the Badlands Reservation.

We are still partners at this moment, so I ask you to take my share of power into account when making decisions.

I want to add an option! ”

Han Bin stared at him, and after a few seconds of silence, he said:

"Okay, tell me what you think."

"The prelude to the Month of Fertility will begin in the Bad Lands before the birth of the Month of Movement begins. Based on previous experience, when the concentration of psychic energy on the surface world exceeds the threshold, the first batch of monsters will appear in the previously safe areas, and the interference beacons you placed on the edge of the Bad Lands reservation will become ineffective.

The monsters in the occupied areas will be the first to feast on the blood of the wastelanders, but I don’t intend to let them do so.”

Zhou Ke drew a circle on the table and said:

“I want the Garden of Eden to throw all the powerful weapons you have hidden into the Badlands on the day when the Month of Fertility begins, and help the people there to stop the monster frenzy caused by the Month of Fertility.

Those weapons were originally prepared by the old civilization to fight against monsters, and you hid them here and they are almost rusting.

Since you are certain that the ending of this timeline will be determined by the results of the Sacred Benchmark Project, then whether it is returning to the time before the disaster or starting a new round of reversal, the existence of these weapons will be meaningless except to increase the weight of the Garden of Eden. Just treat it as a necessary weight loss.

Get those weapons into the hands of people who really need them.

I know you have a lot of proton weapons here!

In the past thirty years, the old Dengs in the Garden of Eden have used this thing to coerce the Badlands Reservation to worship them as gods. However, you and I both know that they are just relying on the power of others to bully others. Apart from the identity of "Sacred Baseline Project Affiliates", they have no special privileges!

Now that it's time to say goodbye, let's do it gracefully."

"can."

Han Bin spun a pen in his hand and said briskly:

“When the monster tide forms, I can send all the combat-grade intelligent machines and sealed intelligent weapons in the Garden of Eden to the Badlands Reservation through orbital airdrops and hand them over to the border guards under Little Acholi for operation. They have similar training courses in their training.

I can also load all the nephew torpedoes sealed in the strategic weapons warehouses of the 7th to 9th rings of the Garden of Eden into orbital drones and place them in orbit around the planet to ensure that when an area in the Badlands Reservation Area suffers irreparable large-scale corrosion, we can solve the problem with a large-yield bombing.

I can even strip away the heavy weapons bays attached to the Garden of Eden and have them bombard the ground to form permanent war fortresses for them to use!
The issues you raise are not beyond my ability to decide on my own.

I can even tell you clearly that if you want to give the people of the Badlands Reservation a final dose of dignity, then these released proton weapons will launch a devastating blow to the mantle layer at the weak point of the crust, which will be enough to shatter the entire continental shelf on the surface.

More extreme, we could transform a few antimatter colliders left over from the golden age of old civilizations into planetary weapons.

When they need it, they will throw it into the center of the earth and directly destroy the entire planet with an antimatter annihilation.

Whatever you want, Eden can do it!

Zhou Ke, but there is one thing we can't do. I really can't give you what you want to give them.

because
I can't find 'hope' myself."

"Well, how can you just ask for something that sounds expensive?"

Zhou Ke grinned, shook his head and said:
"Although I am thick-skinned, I at least understand the ways of the world. I can't ask you to give away something you don't have. Don't worry, it's enough for you to do this. I will find a way to take care of the rest.

In fact, you also know that we have to squeeze out the war value of the Garden of Eden at this time to give those of you who have enjoyed the blessing for so many years a way out.

Let Eden truly become the 'savior of the end times' as you imagine.

After all, if you and your mentor's methods of manipulating time to reverse the disaster fail, the future of this timeline will have to be decided by someone like me.

Although I am unreliable most of the time, I at least know that before you push people into a fire pit that they can't climb out of on their own, you should at least give them a weapon.

A gun, a bullet, to replace the undignified cry of death.

okay.

Just do as you say.

I'm fine now, and I should go now. I guess my leaving here will make you feel less stressed right now."

After saying that, Zhou Ke stood up, waved his hand in a friendly manner and prepared to leave, but when he opened the door, Han Bin suddenly asked:

"If you can decide the future
No, you never intended to leave the choice to me or my mentor. You were so sure that the Badlands Reservation could survive this final extinction that you didn't care how many would die if you let them wage a desperate battle, nor did you care how many would survive after this battle.

You just need it to be there and to stay there.”

“That’s a great summary.”

Zhou Ke turned around, winked, and said:
“With such excellent summarizing ability, it’s a pity that you don’t work as a secretary. If you have the opportunity in the future, come work for me. I will definitely give you very good employee benefits.

That's right!

I want the Badlands Reservation to hold out until the last second, even if they are defeated at the beginning, even if they are beaten up by the monsters of the Fertility Moon, even if they only have a town, a village or even a block left, even if they only have one little boy who can still aim and fire a gun.
They must also hold on to me until the end!
I have never liked this world.

Every second here makes me feel like I am in a stinking mud pit, but at least this place accepts me.
I am always more tolerant of places that actively accept me.

They wanted to live, so I fought for them the chance to live; they needed to fight, so I got them weapons and machines from heaven; they didn't want to die at the end of the world in the apocalyptic world, so I scolded them for being a bunch of trash and then walked up to you on their behalf.

I may not be able to save them, or maybe I don't intend to save them at all.

But there is no way
You have to do what you promised to others, even if it's just a one-time attempt, you have to go all out! "At this point, Zhou Ke glanced at the cigarette butt in his hand, and then looked left and right but couldn't find an ashtray in Han Bin's shockingly clean place, so he could only extinguish it in his palm, and then waved his hand in a counterclockwise direction, and when time went back and he stretched out his hand again, the cigarette butt had turned into a cigarette that had not been lit.

He grinned, held it in his mouth, moved his shoulders as if he had just woken up, stretched his body, and said to Han Bin in a cheerful tone:
"Once this shit is over, my fate with this shithole world will be over. After that, no matter where I go, even if I become a homeless person picking up garbage in the sea of stars, I will never come back.

Can you understand?
It's like you were forced to accept a job that you didn't like but had to do, and now, after persisting for so long, you can finally be free.

Of course I know this is difficult.

But when I think that as long as I can get over the bad hurdle in front of me, I can happily enjoy the freedom without any constraints.
Ah, I am so proud of myself.”

"I'm sorry, but I can't sympathize with you on this matter."

Han Bin said with a straight face:

"I don't know about you, but for me, completing work step by step is a kind of spiritual enjoyment in itself. On the contrary, entertainment without goals and restrictions is a torture for me."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder it's so hard for us to become friends, so this is the root of the problem."

Zhou Ke laughed and said:
"No wonder you always look so unhappy every time I disturb you at work. You should have told me earlier that I know a little bit about the ways of the world.

gone. "

He pushed the door open and left, then took the elevator to the platform of the hovercraft, where he saw D-4 sitting in the driver's seat of Han Bin's special car. However, the omnic butler who had picked them up at the starport was standing next to the hovercraft with a black suitcase at his feet.

"What? You're going to say goodbye to the Garden of Eden and follow us to the Bad Land to become a wandering omnic?"

Zhou Ke looked it up and down and said in a puzzled tone:

"Any idiot I meet in the Bad Land is eager to come to the Garden of Eden to enjoy happiness, but why do I always meet weird guys like you in the Garden of Eden? Why don't you stay in paradise and insist on going to the surface to suffer?"

"Well, it's hard for me to explain the difference to you, but for me personally, sir, this is just a business trip."

The polite golden robot butler said in a gentle tone:
"Under the orders of Master Han Bin, I need to go to the surface to take care of the young lady's daily life. After all, Ms. Luna is not a service-oriented omnic. Although she has been trying to replace me, I can only say that serving people also requires skills and talent.

Ms. Luna should just fulfill her combat duties."

"Oh, you mean that you, a 'service-type' omnic who can break at least three of my ribs with one punch, are not as strong as Luna in terms of martial arts?"

Zhou Ke snorted, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, complaining to the golden intelligent butler sitting in the back seat:
"I guess you can easily defeat three Lunas at once, right? So, for you weird service-oriented omnics, using necessary force is also part of serving your masters?"

"Of course, rather than providing first aid to our distinguished master afterwards, a more effective service and treatment is to eliminate all hidden dangers before the danger occurs."

The golden robot smiled and said:
"For example, Miss D-4 next to you understands this principle very well. She and I really have a lot in common in terms of certain service concepts, and I learned about the special 'Crystal Palace Housekeeping Service' company in Central City from her.

Although I have yet to meet those lovely battle maids, I think I definitely have a lot in common with them."

"Now that we're talking about this, can you share a piece of gossip with me?"

Zhou Ke turned around and asked excitedly:
"Han Bin considers you a trustworthy person, and you must have been with him for a long time. So, whose daughter is Han Chuer? Although I know that she is just one of Han Bin's countless life possibilities, I believe that even Han Bin, who has mastered a lot of black technology, can't create a daughter for himself in the laboratory.

That must be his emotional attachment to a certain lady. This gives me a whiff of gossip. Can you elaborate on it?"

"Well, on principle I can't share these private things."

The golden robot butler hesitated for a moment and said:
“But considering the special relationship between you and Master Han Bin, I feel that if I give a positive answer, it will allow you to know more about Master Han Bin, which will help reduce your determination to kill each other in times of hostility.

However, even if such a decision is made, there is still very little useful information I can tell you.

I just know that Miss Chu'er is the most perfect 'boomerang' in terms of possibility from a relationship that Master Han Bin missed when he was young. That was when he was still very young. Before he became Dr. Acholi's graduate student and officially stepped into his destiny, he made a choice between his future and love.

It was that choice that he regretted till now.

Human beings are all so sentimental and good at self-excuse and disguise.

I think that the current Master Han Bin doesn't really miss the mysterious senior schoolmate he missed in that era. He may even have forgotten what that lady looked like after going through so many things. What he misses more is perhaps just the silly but selective self he was back then.

But judging from how much Mr. Han Bin cares about Miss Chuer, I personally think that it is indeed a love that has never happened but is real.
Ah, what a beautiful word, it makes even an omnic like me feel warm."

"Ah, what a pretentious omnic! Even a cold-blooded human like me feels that your emotional data is a little too abnormal."

Zhou Ke said sarcastically:

"Once we get to the surface, I'll have D-4 perform a craniotomy on you. I want to see how many strange memories are installed in the brain of an emotionally rich omnic!"

"The answer is none, sir."

The golden robot butler was quite good at joking. It replied:
"My internal structure is different from that of Ms. D-4 and all the intelligent machines you are familiar with. In fact, I am a 'unique piece' designed by Master Han Bin according to his own thinking logic.

He gave me a 'final order'.

If he unfortunately bids farewell to this cruel and ruthless world, then I will take care of his daughter instead of him. Oh, what a terrible and difficult task it is. "

"Yes, a father who loves his daughter so much can say such desperate words. This shows how crazy this doomsday world is. I think it's better for us to blow it up in advance. It's better than watching it disappear silently in the fragments of time as if it had never appeared, carrying the resentment that no one is destined to remember.

The worst part is not that I haven't been here.

The worst thing is that I was here and no one knew about it.”

------

A few hours later, when the spacecraft returning to the surface left the starport, Moni, who was standing in front of the wraparound observation window of the super VIP cabin with a glass of red wine, suddenly exclaimed:
"Come and see! Zhou Ke, the main structure of the Garden of Eden is releasing some weird things! It's like an oversized drone swarm? What are these things used for?"

"It's just a planet-circling orbital weapon launcher. Each weapon launcher is equipped with four weapon-grade proton torpedoes. After receiving the command from the control console, it can launch a precise bombardment on the ground at the orbital altitude.

As for the power, it’s just so-so.

Each weapon-grade proton torpedo would flatten an area the size of Central City and leave a meteorite-sized impact crater upon impact."

Zhou Ke, who was lying on the sofa in the cabin and lazily flipping through a collection of old civilized poems he got from Han Bin, said this casually, which made Moni and Amanda, who had just walked out of the bathroom, show expressions of horror.

Moni exclaimed:
"Shit! They have released at least 300 weapon pods, and I suspect this is not the limit! Why would they start deploying weapons that can flatten the surface of the earth at this time?

Are you planning to start early?"

"Be bold, Moni. Your biggest shortcoming is that you are always conservative when you should be bold."

Zhou Ke curled his lips and said:
"What do you mean by possible? Don't underestimate the Garden of Eden. Han Bin told me that if all the proton torpedoes in their hands were released, the surface of the earth could be flattened more than twice. These weapons were the reserves of the old civilization for the decisive battle with the Chaos Demon Disaster, but unfortunately they were not used in the end.

As for why these are being released now?

It's simple. I asked him to do it. Once the Breeding Moon enters its peak period, these things will become the first and last defense of the small area of the Badlands Reservation.

I will flatten the surface of the earth without hesitation, so as to give the idiots in the evil land a chance to fight. If they cannot escape the inevitable death, then I will not allow them to die at the hands of monsters. "

"Snapped"

Zhou Ke gathered the poems in his hand, yawned and said:
"I'll personally deliver the final blow to them, just to help them preserve their little dignity. So, I think the idiots on the villains had better behave a little bit under my watch.

I lost my face to get this back from them, I don't know what those idiots can give me in return?"
