Darkness is Coming Chapter 204

   On the same day that the front finger of the corpse and the Salvation Army rushed to the battlefield, Xinyuanjiang became uncharacteristically lively, because the 258th Division will hold a Spring Festival Gala to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, and anyone can go to watch it regardless of identity.

   Of course, ordinary people will never have a seat, they can only stand far away and listen to the sound. Despite this, there were still thousands of people gathered at the party scene. Because Xinyuanjiang is not an island in the heart of the river, there is no entertainment on weekdays. Only with heavy pressure and busy work can you get a barely full ration. For such residents, the Spring Festival Gala is like a long drought and a sweet rain, which can serve them well. Provides a long-lost convivial atmosphere.

At 6:00 in the afternoon, after a brief speech by the deputy commander of the 258th Division, the party opened on time, but the awakened people from all parties and the 258th Division Changjiang Haichao only showed up briefly and then left, but this did not affect the masses. Enthusiasm, after all, everyone is here to see the party, not to see them.

  At the same time as the party kicked off, Yang Xiaoqian and Yu Qian walked into an unremarkable bungalow in Xinyuanjiang City together, and the two guards standing in front of the door raised their hands to salute them.

   There were several people sitting in the house, namely Liu Yuanzhou, Qi Lie, and Qi Xinwu, pointing to the front of the corpse that all the other awakened people had followed Geng Zhiping to the front line, and only the three of them were left to guard the rear.

   When he saw Qi Lie's rough face, Yang Xiaoqian instinctively felt that something was wrong. Although Qi Lie was middle-aged, he was extremely warm-hearted and warlike. With his temperament, he would definitely go out with the troops, so why would he stay behind?

  Yu Qian also noticed the abnormality, but his focus was on the number of people. He said that he secretly counted with his hands behind his back, and found that there were only seven people in the room plus himself. He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Just how many people?"

"Don't worry." Yang Xiaoqian reassured, "We arrived half an hour early. This time there are at least 23 participants representing various factions. After the council is formed, the number of subordinates will be as high as 67, which is the most conservative. estimate."

Only then did Yu Qian sit in the main seat with confidence. He will be the chairman of the parliament. It is natural to sit in the main seat. Seeing Yang Xiaoqian and Liu Yuanzhou sitting on his left and right sides, the rest of the seats are lined up in their direction like the stars guarding the moon. In the center seat where he was, an indescribable pleasure rose like cooking oil on fire.

   "No wonder Yang Xiaoqian is willing to be the president of the Far Savior Association." Yu Qian speculated with his own thoughts, "It turns out that having power is such a satisfying thing, but I didn't realize it before."

   Yang Xiaoqian did not look at Yu Qian after taking his seat, but turned his face to Wu Kun and Li Xu next to him and nodded to them.

   Considering the majesty of the parliament, during the waiting process, everyone remained solemn and solemn, did not talk too much, and just quietly waited for the arrival of other participants.

As the minute hand on the clock dial walks through the arc little by little, the awakened people from each independent settlement gradually arrive. When the minute hand completes one hundred and eighty degrees and aligns with the Arabic numerals directly below, the last digit Attendees stomped into the humble conference room.

The tall and sturdy figure almost filled the door frame. As soon as the visitor walked in, he opened his arms enthusiastically, breaking the silence that had been maintained in the room for a long time: "Oh, everyone is here. Commander Liu, President Yang, brothers and sisters. Are you all here, hahahaha, everyone, stay safe?"

   More than 20 eyes focused on this big man who was over 1.9 meters tall and looked like a bear, as if they were looking at a fool.

   "Cough." The big man didn't seem to understand what he had done, which caused others to look at him like that. He coughed awkwardly and was about to speak again, but Liu Yuanzhou cut off his voice before he started.

   "Please take your seat immediately and keep quiet."

   Yang Xiaoqian glanced at Liu Yuanzhou, and the feeling that something was wrong resurfaced.

Only a few people in the entire Xinyuan River knew that the headquarters of the 258th Division was underground, and no one knew that the division commander who appeared at the Spring Festival Gala just now was just a similar-looking stand-in. .

  As an army commander, he must ensure his own safety at any time, because he is the soul hub of the army, anyone in the army can die or be replaced, but the commander cannot. This is Jiang Haichao's idea, and some people may say that this is just an excuse for his cowardice, but he doesn't care what others think.

   At this time, Jiang Haichao was starting the monitoring equipment. He agreed that Liu Yuanzhou and Yang Xiaoqian naturally had their own ideas for holding an awakened meeting in Xinyuanjiang. Since the Awakened of the 258th Division also received the invitation, it means that Yang and Liu did not intend to exclude themselves, an ordinary person without abilities, from the circle.

The Awakened Council has its existence. Even if Jiang Haichao does not allow them to hold a meeting in Xinyuanjiang, they will find a way to hold a meeting elsewhere. Instead of opposing them, it is better to let them act within their own control, at least Under your own eyes, you can watch at any time.

   But Jiang Haichao was still worried. He was afraid that Liu Yuanzhou and Yang Xiaoqian would conspire against the Awakened of the 258th Division, so he quietly made some moves on his own Awakened's mobile phone and other items to facilitate monitoring.

   There is always only impulse noise coming from the monitorable device. It seems that Liu Yuanzhou has placed an interference device in the conference room. The word "Chuan" stood between Jiang Haichao's eyebrows. Why did Liu Yuanzhou prepare a monitor jammer? There must be some intention!

   When Jiang Haichao was thinking about how he should deal with the current situation, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

   "Mr. Jiang, it was really hard to find you."

   As if there was a strong current running through his spine, Jiang Hai jumped up from his seat in a tidal wave, turned around and jumped back at the same time he pulled out the gun that was loaded at his waist and pulled the trigger one after another to fire.

   There are very few people who have permission to enter the command room. Anyone who wants to meet Jiang Haichao must make an appointment in advance and go through various inspections. Moreover, Jiang Haichao must be notified in advance and decide whether to meet and where to meet.

For someone who suddenly appeared in the command room like this, Jiang Haichao didn't need to ask who he was. The first reaction was to shoot and kill him. He would definitely not kill him by mistake. Even if he killed him by mistake, he could not risk his own life. !

  But all the bullets hit the air, and the voice sounded behind Jiang Haichao again.

   "Oh, I didn't expect Commander Jiang's reaction to be so fast. It seems that Commander Jiang's individual combat ability is not bad. This is unexpected."

   What kind of person can overcome obstacles and layers of defenses and appear in the command room? What kind of person can dodge a bullet? Awakened.

  Jiang Haichao gave a wry smile, threw down the pistol decisively, raised his hands and turned around slowly, seeing two people standing behind him.

   The one on the left is wearing a blood-red robe, his eyes are gentle and kind, as if looking at the world like a lost lamb.

   The man on the right was wearing a white suit and top hat. When he saw the face under the brim, Jiang Haichao was stunned and finally understood why they could suddenly appear in his command room without triggering any alarms.

   "Yang Yuechen." Jiang Haichao read his name word by word.

   "It's me, Teacher Jiang, long time no see."

  The white leather shoes took a step forward, and Yang Yuechen's face was filled with that triumphant smile.
