Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 109 42. “The scapegoat” little Acholi is unhappy!
The central city is quite restless tonight.

Because the martial law caused by the psychic storm has not yet been lifted, ordinary people are staying at home to avoid bad things from happening, but those gang members who took the opportunity to go out are really surprised.

They occupy the local territories in various blocks and usually do smuggling and collecting protection fees at most. It’s not that they have ever seen such a big scene. Even the Black Dog thugs can make a name for themselves in the city-state area, which shows how weak the "martial ethics" boasted here is.

But tonight, these guys who think they are so awesome finally got to see what it means to “do big things.”

Starting from the evening when night fell, explosions occurred successively in five different areas within the second ring road of the central city. The perpetrators were brutal and almost rushed towards the target area carrying explosives, with the momentum of a fierce man like "Mao's assassination, the whole army cheers".

The violent explosion and the flames shooting into the sky looked more like a cruel "demonstration" and "execution" than a criminal activity.

The streets were full of emergency-dispatched mechanical police officers, and even the military martial law units under the command of the surface governors were dispatched. The burning flames everywhere and the haze caused by the psychic storm made the entire central city look like a war zone, dumbfounding the street guys who came out in the middle of the night to engage in smuggling activities.

Those with brains would immediately run away, rushing back home with a heart rate of 170 and acting like good rabbits. Those with less brains would try to watch the fun, but were ruthlessly suppressed by the mechanical police officers who wielded electric batons at a rate of "six sticks per second".

But anyone with a little common sense can see it clearly.

The fact that the mechanical police officers arrived so late but with such a grand ceremony was enough to show that this seemingly vicious case was actually just a play by the bigwigs of the consortium.

Especially after well-informed people learned that the seven people executed by the bomb tonight were all high-ranking officials of the Maca Group, they instantly realized that the Maca Family, which monopolized the military industry in the Evil Land, was about to change.

The most important thing is that the “coup plotters” were too ruthless!

Before anyone involved could react, a sudden wave of attacks came. This overly cruel and straightforward cleansing method directly made the potential rebels stupid.

Nearing midnight, in the intensive care unit of the Central City Foundation General Hospital, the Maca Group board members who were summoned held a closed-door meeting in the doctor's shabby little lounge.

The meeting was brief and efficient. Except for seven board members who were unable to come due to "special reasons", the rest of the board members all voted in favor quite sensibly under the indifferent gaze of the armed security guards outside the door.

Bert's father was still lying in the hospital ward, but his mother was promoted to "temporary chairman" on the spot, which meant that Bert, a silly boy, became the first heir of the Maca family without doing anything and looking confused.

Oh, by the way, his capable brothers and sisters "unfortunately" got into a car accident on their way to the hospital after receiving the news of their father's "sudden illness".

Although it was just a small scene of a chain collision of several cars, the scene was as tragic as if it had been hit by several rounds of rockets.

This fully proves two truths.

First, there is still much room for improvement in the traffic control of central vehicles.

Second, it is best not to drive recklessly under martial law as this can easily lead to accidents.

In short, everything was settled when Bert was asked by his jubilant mother to return to his own home and stay quiet for the next few days.

"Mom, is Dad really going to be sent to the Garden of Eden?"

On the tarmac of the General Hospital, Bert, with his eyes red and swollen from crying, asked cautiously:
"I just asked the doctors, and they said there was something strange about my father's illness."

"Oh? Which doctor dares to say such irresponsible words at this moment? He has no medical ethics at all. It seems that a doctor who cannot protect the privacy of patients has no need to stay in this important position in the Foundation's main hospital!

But don't worry, the third master of the Weng Group is a sensible man, and he will definitely be happy to help purify the medical environment in the central city."

Ms. Oufu put on makeup to make herself look like a woman who was deeply saddened by the serious illness of her lover and boss. She half-persuaded and half-forced her son to board the aircraft, and admonished this son who had been a good-for-nothing since childhood:
"Your father is old, can you bear to let him continue to suffer in the chaotic surface world?
Be good, he will be well taken care of in the Garden of Eden. I have specially hired several female nurses who are very good at serving people to take close care of him. I guarantee that he will live a much happier life than in the surface world, and can enjoy his old age.

You, when you get back, don't go out and just focus on playing with those pretty useful 'toys' of yours. I'll be very busy recently, and I'll ask you out for dinner or something when I'm done.

Oh, right. "

Ms. Oufu remembered something and said to Bert, who looked confused, in a gentle tone:

"Moni is a good friend who is willing to go through fire and water for his brothers. He is also young and strong. Maintaining a relationship with him is the best thing you have done in the past twenty years. If you encounter any troubles in the future that you cannot solve yourself and your mother cannot help you, just look for him.

It’s late at night, son, don’t think too much.

I guess you can't figure it out with your brain, go back and have a rest."

Although the mother was very dissatisfied with her son, it can be seen from her words that she still cares about Bert.

Apart from their rather strong parenting methods, the relationship between this mother and son is actually quite good, at least much better than the troublesome things that happened between the elders and the younger generations in the Panis and Weng families.

Bert got on the aircraft with a confused look on his face, and watched his smug mother leave humming a strange and rough song, escorted by a group of black-clad bodyguards.

Although his thinking process is different from that of normal people, Bert does have some brains. He has realized that something is wrong from a series of strange things.

As a result, when the aircraft took off, Bert noticed that the three people protecting him in the cabin were not security personnel of the Maca Group. The symbols on these guys' chests indicated that they were external agents of the Ledis Group.

"you."

Bert was startled and asked in a low voice:
"How did you end up on my aircraft?"

"Don't be afraid, Master Bert. We are sent by Director Ian to protect you."

A female bodyguard wearing a full-face tactical mask whispered:
"This order has been authorized by Ms. Ou Fu. For the next half month, we will perform security tasks beside you."

"Oh, they are my uncle's people, so it's okay. Why would my uncle hurt me?"

Bert was relieved.

The "Director Ian" mentioned by the bodyguard is his mother's biological brother and currently a member of the board of directors of the Ledis Group. It is said that he will most likely succeed his grandfather as the next head of the group.

In other words, Bert didn't care about these things and failed to react immediately. If Zhou Ke was here, he would immediately realize that this was a trap.

The "coup" that took place in the Maca Group tonight was not only participated in by Ms. Oufu and Little Acholi, Oufu's "family" must have also contributed to it.

But this is normal. Since ancient times, "the military and agriculture are inseparable." It is normal for the Ledis Group, which monopolizes food circulation, and the Maca Group, which monopolizes the military industry, to join hands. In this way, the voice of His Excellency Archon Acholi Jr. in the surface world will be more solemn.

"Is the city in chaos?"

Bert was a little sleepy in the aircraft. He was taken to the hospital by his mother at noon and stayed with his unconscious father until midnight. He had hardly eaten or drunk anything. Even though he was kind-hearted and fat, he couldn't stand it anymore. But when he leaned against the window to rest, he unexpectedly saw the "burning" city below.

Looking from a high place, it is obvious that there are at least five burning points within the second ring road of the central city.
The fire is very big and the fire-fighting robots are trying their best to put it out.

This scene was quite rare. At least Bert had never seen such an exciting scene since he was a child.

"What happened?"

He looked at the security guard beside him in confusion. The other party was very professional and chose to remain silent in the face of such a question, but he probably had doubts in his heart.

You, a young master, still have the nerve to ask, weren't all these thrilling and explosive operations tonight initiated by your mother?

As expected of a military worker!

Publicly dropping bombs in the City-State District when a disagreement arises is indeed much more martial than other groups of directors.

Twenty minutes later, Bert returned to his beloved private factory. He had his own house in a high-end residential area but he never went there. He preferred to stay in this factory and live a peaceful life with his maids.

However, when Bert dragged his tired body out of the elevator, he saw his head maid, Noka, who was covering her body with the clothes next to her with a panicked look on her face.

It wasn't that the omnic lady was doing anything that couldn't pass the review. Bert saw the problem at a glance. He widened his eyes and scolded:

"do not move!"

Noka actually stopped where she was, exposing her severely damaged bionic skin and her arms that were almost blown apart.

It is no exaggeration to say that this intelligent maid now looks like she has escaped from a war zone. Her whole body is covered in dust and has a smell of burnt barbecue.

"What happened? Did you play with fire in the factory?"

Bert rushed over and nervously checked on his maid's condition. He was relieved after discovering that Noka's important mechanical organs were not seriously damaged. He glared at Noka again.

The head maid who always wore rustic glasses lowered her head in shame. She was ready for Bert's scolding, but she didn't expect that this guy turned around and went to the workshop and came back with a repair box.

He didn't even change his clothes, but just sat there to help Noka replace his badly damaged arm, and asked:

"What's going on? Why do you feel like you've been in a battle?"

"Uh"

Noka looked at Bert in front of him in astonishment.

Good guy!
Such a big thing happened in the city, but you, the young master, really don’t care about anything except the paper wife in your mind!
She wanted to tell the truth, but thinking of the kind advice from Instructor D-4, she felt that with Bert's ability, even if he knew the truth, it would only increase his worries. So, in line with the principle that intelligent machines cannot deceive their masters, the smart Noka said in a vague tone:
"After you left, Instructor D-4 called us together to do our first official job at Crystal Palace Housekeeping, helping customers who had placed orders with some troublesome 'cleaning' work. I'm clumsy and didn't pay attention when I first started working, so I ended up like this.

It was mainly because Anu and Sen were too excited. They were dumber than me, which led to a fire at the workplace, and we were in a hurry to complete the task within the time limit.

My damage is considered good. Mary in the storage room needs a major repair, Alfie's legs also need to be replaced, Sen lost all his armed swarm drones, and others also have major and minor damages.

Your wallet is going to bleed again this time.

It’s all our fault!

The housekeeping work was not as simple as we thought. Fortunately, the D-4 instructors were there to teach and assist us, otherwise we would have lost several people. "

"Ah? Is house cleaning so dangerous nowadays?"

Bert exclaimed:
"But I saw that the aunties we hired to clean the house before did a very good job."

"Well, our Crystal Palace Housekeeping is a high-end brand after all."

Seeing Bert's silly look, Noka smiled.

She glanced at the round-frame glasses beside her that were shattered by the grenade shockwave, and recalled the bloody things they had done under the leadership of D-4.

The screams and pleas that remained in the memories of those terrible explosions and massacres formed a sharp contrast with the confused Bert in front of him.

Then she let out a long breath and whispered:

"But it doesn't matter. We have learned how to do the job correctly. You don't have to worry about the future work of Crystal Palace Housekeeping. It has been proven that we, the omnic maids, are capable of doing any job, no matter how troublesome or dangerous it is.

We also realized that we can survive on our own in this unique social system, and we may have found the most important meaning of survival for awakened intelligent machines."

"Yes."

Hearing Noka's words, Bert couldn't help but nodded and said:

"Senior Zhou Ke told me that people need clear goals and the meaning of their existence in life. This is also very important for awakened intelligent machines. Only by understanding these can you better establish the foundation for the formation of your own mimic personality. I was a little confused before.

But Noka.
Tonight, the feeling you give me is really no longer a cold and mechanical one.

how to say?

It was like the silly girl had grown up all of a sudden, which made me very happy. He was indeed Senior Zhou Ke! I said that I had a lot to learn from him in this regard.

Ms. D-4 is your role model for growth.

Don't be discouraged. I believe that each of you will be no worse than Ms. D-4 in character building in the future, and I will also be your most outstanding logistics engineer to help you grow and record the entire process of your character building.

In the end, we will achieve the bond of souls in another way!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Noka covered his mouth and laughed out loud.

She looked at Bert, who had a serious face as if he was swearing. At this moment, there seemed to be a slight fluctuation of emotional data flow in Noka's cold mind.

She nodded seriously and said to Bert who was helping her replace her arm:

"I believe in you, Master Bert. We will protect you. No matter what happens, you can trust us as much as you trust yourself. But I have a request, Master Bert. I hope that in the module modification plan you are carrying out for us, all our combat circuits and combat modules will be modified to military grade."

"Huh? Why? Wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

"No, this is to better complete the series of difficult cleaning tasks that Crystal Palace Housekeeping will be undertaking next! Yes, that's it. We, the head maids, can't embarrass you, the big boss behind the scenes, by our performance outside, right?"

"Well, that makes sense. If this is our common cause, then we really need to devote 100% of our enthusiasm to complete it, okay.

Please wait for a few days, I will apply to my mother."
-
"boom"

The exquisite teacup fell to the ground, and the handmade collectible broke into eight round pieces. The harsh sound made Weng Meiyu, who was standing next to her, raise her eyebrows.

It was rare for her to see the always well-mannered little Acholi so angry.

“What a travesty!”

The surface governor slammed the table with a sullen look on his face. He shouted:
"Are all your operatives a bunch of lunatics? Did I tell them to act?"

"Ok?"

Weng Meiyu gently stepped forward and prepared to use her charm to appease little Acholi, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but explain:
"They didn't act randomly, dear. This was a plan made by Ms. Oufu and you. It was just that Ms. Oufu chose my operatives to complete the rapid 'integration' of the Maca Group in order to avoid suspicion.

This kind of shady work must be done by an outsider who has no relationship with her, so that she can't be traced back to her."

"I'm not talking about the Maca Group! I'm talking about the four tragic incidents that happened at the Panis Group earlier today!"

Little Aqiaoli glared at Weng Meiyu and said sternly:
“It’s OK that the three board members died, as they were not the core figures. However, the young master of the Panis Group disappeared inexplicably, and his vital signs have been confirmed dead. The Panis Group did betray me, but I did not order them to act!

Acting so casually will only disrupt my original plan. The heir of the Panis family is dead, and now the old man sitting on the position of the head of the family is going crazy.

They'll just blame it on me, seeing it as my personal response to betrayal.

Although I don't care much about a bunch of jumping rats, is it really a good thing to force the Panis Group to fully turn to the Flash Organization at this time?

As soon as Roger returns to the surface, the struggle between him and me will immediately escalate.

Do not!
That’s not my plan.”

"."

Weng Meiyu was silent.

Originally, she might not have thought of this, but now she has become familiar with these things and of course knows how much impact Zhou Ke and Moni's sudden action will have on little Acholi's arrangement.

She should have stood firmly on the side of little Acholi at this moment, but a strange idea came into her mind at that moment.

"Perhaps Zhou Ke must have his reasons for doing this. After all, that guy has his own set of rules for everything he does."

However, this kind of emotion certainly cannot be expressed, so Weng Meiyu can only try her best to find ways to reduce little Acholi's anger. After all, she, Zhou Ke and Moni are now tied together. If little Acholi wants to take action, she will not be able to escape responsibility.

Just as Weng Meiyu's brain was working rapidly, she suddenly thought of a possibility and then whispered:
“However, it is precisely because of their decisive actions that you can completely eliminate your doubts about them, dear.

They have been at war with the Flash Organization and its lackey Panis Group, which means you can use them with confidence. Although you have your own operational forces, it is more convenient to use them in certain matters in order to avoid suspicion.

For example, you must get the Time Beast."

"Humph, that Zhou Ke must be sure that I need them, so he is so bold and reckless."

Little Acholi looked at Weng Meiyu with a gloomy face and said:
“But you are my representative, you go warn them!
If there is such an abnormal movement again, I will personally eliminate these unstable factors. An uncontrolled sharp blade is a hidden danger that must be cut off. I believe in you, Meiyu, but it does not mean that I believe in their integrity. "

"Of course, I will never let you down."

Weng Meiyu gave a charming smile.

She knew that at this moment she should throw herself into his arms and use physical means to help little Acholi cool down. However, the damn Purifying Heart Spell made little Acholi temporarily lose this ability. She could only kiss her lover on the cheek regretfully and then leave swayingly.

After Weng Meiyu left, little Acholi opened the drawer somewhat depressedly and took out a fine handmade cigar. When he was about to look for a lighter, he suddenly saw a ball of dark green "ghost fire" floating over, which perfectly helped him light the cigar.

The psychic fire flickered and dissipated, and then the psychic Afu, wearing a secretary's uniform, walked out from behind the curtain as if playing hide-and-seek.

She unceremoniously took a cigar from Acholi's collection, then leaned against the window to admire the burning city and said to Acholi:

"Your woman has changed her mind"

"Ok?"

"You don't believe me? Oh, she may still have feelings for you, but it is obvious that her ambitious soul has found a plaything more valuable than your favor. Just like a bird in a cage wants to spread its wings and fly high, you can't trap her.

What a pity, Your Excellency.

But Weng Meiyu, who naturally admires strong men, has already moved into another man's heart, and the other man seems to be able to bring her more security than you."
