Darkness is Coming: Chapter 92 Faith that overcomes obstacles
The day after the inauguration ceremony of the Yuan Jiu Society, a middle-aged man was escorted to Paradise Island by a team of defenders in camouflage uniforms.
The guards at the port had spotted them long ago, and when they came ashore, the long guns and short cannons of the Coast Guard were already aimed at them, warning them not to act rashly.
"My name is Qiao Shan, and I was sent by Captain Geng Zhiping to deliver the letter. There are confidential documents that need to be handed over to Mr. Yang Xiaoqian." The middle-aged man raised his hands and shouted.
Soon their identities were proved, but the patrol did not let down their guard because they were friendly troops, and still insisted on disarming first, and the two sides became deadlocked.
The smell of gunpowder between the two sides faded away until Yang Xiaoqian brought someone to the scene.
Qiao San followed Yang Xiaoqian respectfully with an envelope and a USB flash drive, walked all the way into Yang Xiaoqian's office, lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to look around.
After entering the door, I saw Yang Xiaoqian sit down by himself, and a beautiful girl brought a seat behind Qiao San and said with a smile, "Sit down."
"Thank you, thank you!" Qiao San was frightened. Before the change, in Yuanjiang, even the boss of Paradise Island, Wang Li, would not dare to be so pretentious in front of him, but the world has changed. Qiao San is very clear in his heart that he is an upper-class society People's identities were swept into the trash on the first day of the disaster.
A mere Geng Zhiping who manages dozens of people can decide his life or death at will, let alone Yang Xiaoqian who manages several Awakeneds and hundreds of people?
"Qiao Shan? Qiao Shan, the owner of Zijin Hotel?" Yang Xiaoqian recalled Qiao San's identity.
Qiao San nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's me."
"Well." Before the disaster, Yang Xiaoqian didn't even know the name of the mayor of Yuanjiang City, and it was even more impossible to know a little famous businessman in the city. It's just that Qiao San is a little special. Several students in Yang Xiaoqian's high school class have to accept Qiao San's donation to complete their high school studies and be admitted to university. Even Yang Xiaoqian himself has been a volunteer of Qiao San Charity Fund.
Thinking back then, a high school student with decent grades stood inconspicuously in the crowd, how could Qiao San remember Yang Xiaoqian as the number one person? Now that time has passed, the identities of the two have changed tremendously and the change has been rapid, which is really emotional. It's no wonder that so many people who think they were born out of time and are unwilling to look forward to troubled times and a big reshuffle.
After Qiao San explained his intention and handed over the information he had recorded, he finally added: "Well, Captain Geng said, you can leave me on Paradise Island..."
Yang Xiaoqian looked at the envelope in his hand speechlessly, and said to himself, "Liu Yuanzhou really treats me as his garbage dump, and throws all the mess at me. Come and don't insult him, I have to think about how to repay him. ."
"Okay, it's hard work for you, you go out, someone will arrange your work and accommodation later." Yang Xiaoqian waved at Qiao San, motioning for Qiao San to step down.
After Qiao San left, Yang Xiaoqian asked Zhang Xinyi to bring the computer, plug in the USB flash drive and start watching the surveillance video.
The footage is blurry and obviously edited, leaving only the most critical few minutes. In the airtight warehouse full of blood and bones, high-power lights shone on a zombie. He was roaring, his arms began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally only a cracking sound was heard. The flesh exploded, revealing the huge bone blade inside.
"his-"
The newborn mutant ran to the next prey - a man with his hands and feet gagged and wearing the robes of the evolutionary religion. In his whimper, the bone blade pierced through his chest, pierced into his heart, and the blood spurted out, soaring.
But the monster with his hands turned into bone blades did not rush to eat, but walked to the next food, one after another, killing the people in the warehouse.
Yang Xiaoqian closed the video and opened the envelope, which contained the detailed data recorded by Qiao San. After turning a healthy person into a zombie with zombie blood, it ate 32 people, stopped eating every four people, and resumed eating after an interval of six hours. After eating the thirty-second person, a mutation occurred, and the entire mutation process took less than a minute.
In addition, during the whole process, no excretion of the zombies or other behaviors other than eating was found. It wasn't until it evolved into a mutant that it became sane, had the ability to think about things, and damaged a surveillance camera after it was discovered.
Of course, it was bombed to ashes before it had time to escape. At this point, the experiment was over.
At the end of the lab report, another handwriting added a few sentences:
According to the video recorded by the command post of the air raid shelter, the mutation speed and process of the mutant Li Jinkui are completely inconsistent with this experiment, so it is impossible to make an effective guess, and there is no reasonable explanation.
The last few sentences were not signed, and Yang Xiaoqian guessed that the author was Liu Yuanzhou.
"Is there a big difference between mutants... But what I'm more curious about is that after eating thirty-two people, but not excreting, where did the food residues go? It's impossible to convert 100% into Energy, right? It’s a pity that the experimental site is limited, and we can’t simultaneously observe the intestinal response of the zombies after eating. But then again, this kind of anti-human thing Liu Yuanzhou can only do this step at most, and he has to find an outsider to do it.” Yang Xiaoqian Rubbing his beardless chin, he muttered to himself, "Then what does he mean by sending this Qiao Shan to me? If you make a special trip to deliver the letter, you only need a team of soldiers. Do you want me to silence him? Why? Well, he can do it himself without leaving a trace, but it may be an accident when he sends it... Oh, I see."
Yang Xiaoqian smiled knowingly, sometimes I have to say that heroes see the same thing.
"Xinyi, let Fang Yu, Ning Siyu, Yu Qian and his little valet go to the training ground for a test tomorrow. Inform the kitchen to prepare the ingredients and drinks in advance, and the rescue team will give me a game the night before their departure. Their highest A level banquet, see off the rescue team." Yang Xiaoqian said, without hanging up, and added, "Finally, inform Wang Li that all labor will be canceled the day before the rescue team leaves, and food will be distributed as usual, so that everyone on Paradise Island will be together. Send off the rescue team and pray for them."
"clear."
"Also, bring me some medicine, that **** Wang Hai is too ruthless, hiss——"
Hearing the voice over the phone, one could think of Yang Xiaoqian's grinning face, Zhang Xinyi covered her mouth and snickered.
Yang Xiaoqian had long mentioned that he wanted to learn how to use firearms and hand-to-hand combat with Wang Hai. Recently, he ran to the training ground whenever he was free, leaving Wang Hai torn apart and covered in injuries. Fortunately, Wang Hai had reservations about his starting position. Give Yang Xiaoqian a fat beating and a bruised nose and a swollen face, otherwise it will affect President Yang's majestic image.
smiled, and when she saw Yang Xiaoqian's scarred upper body, Zhang Xinyi was still distressed. The old concept of men and women being inseparable had long been abandoned, and she personally went to battle to rub medicine for Yang Xiaoqian.
"Why is Wang Hai so ruthless?" Zhang Xinyi's tone was very dissatisfied.
Yang Xiaoqian heard her concern and said with a smile, "The only way you can learn faster is when you fight hard."
"I think he's just dissatisfied with you, avenging his personal revenge, don't you have superpowers, why don't you know how to block?"
Hearing this question, Yang Xiaoqian put away the smile on his face and asked solemnly: "Xinyi, you attended yesterday's meeting. In the end, everyone shouted so loudly that they looked enthusiastic. How many people do you think are sincere? "
"Fang Yu, Ning Siyu, Yu Qian, Wang Hai, and those defending soldiers?" Zhang Xinyi counted with her fingers covered with ointment.
Yang Xiaoqian shook his head and said with certainty, "I am not familiar with those defenders, so I will not judge. Among the others, only Fang Yu truly believes in my slogan. Of course Wang Hai would like to see an organization like the Yuanjiao Society appear, but he She is still wary of me and won't really believe what I say. Ning Siyu is ignorant and she just follows the people she likes. Yu Qian sees that what I say can make Fang Yu and Ning Siyu emotional. Fanatical, thinking that he has found the general direction of leading the Awakened, so he is also emotional and roars."
"As for Wang Li, He Yu, not to mention, Wang Li wants to clear his identity. Anyway, he has no fighting ability and can only be responsible for management or logistics in the rear. He does not need to bear the danger. Of course he is happy to see it. He Yu... He Yu adheres to the principle of respect for the strong, no matter what I say, he will pretend to be a fanatic and support him wildly, wanting me to treat him as his loyal dog." Yang Xiaoqian sighed, "They followed along, just to cooperate with me, not to destroy Atmosphere. Alas, these people are not simple, they have their own minds, and if I want to make them bow their heads and bow their heads, my charisma is far from enough."
"It's not a matter of charisma, it's that the slogan and purpose of the Yuanjiao Society's emblem are too secondary. It's normal for them not to accept it from the bottom of their hearts. I don't think you should do that, and you shouldn't say those hot-blooded slogans. "Zhang Xinyi whispered softly while rubbing the medicine gently.
Yang Xiaoqian laughed and shook his head, explaining: "If you tell a lie a hundred times, some people will believe it, not to mention that what I say is the truth. Zhong Er is just a conceptual word, not a purely derogatory term, not to mention that the Yuan Salvation Society cannot be used. To define the word "secondary", what if it is really naive? As long as someone can stand in the front, lead others all the way, overcome obstacles, save more people and continue to move forward, sooner or later, this sentence is now It seems that just empty slogans will become the unshakable belief of many people."
"On that day, Yuanjiao will be very powerful. On that day, even if a few people still have doubts, it doesn't matter, because more people will choose to believe, and will define saving and helping others as the right thing to do, rather than Only idiots do stupid things, so they will pass the torch of hope in the long night of the far river, as long as they can wait until that day, the end of the world will never come."
"However, others can wait, I can't wait. It's ironic to say that I, the person who has the least dedication and the least possibility to sacrifice himself, has to walk in the front. There's no way, who made me so wise and wise? At present, only I can provoke this burden." Yang Xiaoqian said in a joking tone, "So, after talking about such a big circle, can you understand why I didn't choose to use my abilities to avoid damage, but chose to resist hard?"
Zhang Xinyi's eyes were blurred and her eyes were erratic. She stared at Yang Xiaoqian's back in a daze. It took a while for her to react. Her pretty face was slightly red, and she covered her chest to suppress the girl's heart that was about to jump out.
"Oh, that's fine." Yang Xiaoqian, who had his back to Zhang Xinyi, shrugged and put on his bottoming shirt. The buttons of the shirt were automatically buttoned by a few strands of fine black mist, and the black long trench coat was also covered by a cloud of black mist. He lifted it up and landed on Yang Xiaoqian's shoulder.
Straight male cancer, unpleasant scenery. Zhang Xinyi looked angry, and silently scolded Yang Xiaoqian with her mouth.
"By the way, you don't have to bother you next time to apply the medicine. This is not your job scope. You can find someone, preferably a girl. The girl is more careful and gentle."
"Well, it's fine, I'll be fine, no trouble." Zhang Xinyi sullenly walked out of the office, closed the door and whispered, "Hmph, it's impossible to let those coquettish **** get close to you."
