Darkness is Coming Chapter 8

   "It's really a steel fortress." The elder Yu Qian, who was sitting by the window, stretched his neck, watching the huge metal manned device passing through, and the skyscrapers on both sides of the road supported the sky like giants guarding a prosperous civilization.

"Looking at the majesty, in fact, the defense is very poor. It can withstand earthquakes and so on. Even if a missile comes over, it will be reimbursed." Yang Xiaoqian diligently did the work of the guide, "Compared to the steel fortress, the name of the steel jungle is more appropriate."

   "It seems that our base cannot be placed in such a place." Yu Qian said disappointedly, a building with low defense is definitely not his choice, "Let's consider the wartime underground fortifications you mentioned earlier."

   Yang Xiaoqian didn't answer, he noticed a very strange thing when he looked at the people in the car.

There are cameras on the 302 bus around the city. In order to ensure safety, Yang Xiaoqian put on masks for himself and Yu Qian to cover their faces before getting on the bus. He originally thought that this would attract unnecessary attention from the people on the bus, but he didn't expect it. When I got into the car, I found that everyone in the car was wearing a mask.

This posture was only seen during the SARS period eight years ago. At that time, Yang Xiaoqian was still a glorious young pioneer with a red scarf. The only impression left by the big incident that set off a wave of fear in the whole country is that the school was put on for a long time. Let him have a good time.

"Strange, I haven't heard of bird flu." Yang Xiaoqian muttered to himself, took out a new mobile phone and bought a data package and started to browse related news on Tieba's Weibo. The most popular search started yesterday. Outbreak of flu. "A new type of flu was found in Yuanjiang yesterday? Calculate the time. I stayed indoors for nearly a day and didn't watch the news. No wonder I didn't know anything about it."

  Yu Qian noticed Yang Xiaoqian's abnormality. He didn't want Yang Xiaoqian to make any inappropriate small actions, so he asked aloud, "What's the matter?"

Yang Xiaoqian shook his head and replied, "It's nothing, I found it a little strange that everyone in the car was wearing a mask, so I searched the Internet, and only after I found out that a new type of influenza has appeared in Yuanjiang since yesterday, it seems to be quite serious and contagious. The rate and death rate are quite high, but fortunately I prepared a mask to go out."

   After Yu Qian listened, he kept staring at Yang Xiaoqian without speaking.

"Hey, why are you staring at me so directly?" Yang Xiaoqian pretended to scratch his goosebumps, "I thought the mask could hide my handsomeness, but I didn't expect..." Before he finished speaking, Yang Xiaoqian was stunned. .

   After two seconds, Yang Xiaoqian asked thoughtlessly, "Come here?"

   Yu Qian nodded affirmatively.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiaoqian felt that his body became lighter, and then his head became a little dizzy, and then he heard his heartbeat that suddenly accelerated and increased, "dong", "dong", "dong", the dull voice sounded on the left chest, never The irritants that have occurred spread throughout the body with the blood.

   "There's nothing to do now, so you're virtuous?" Yu Qian glanced at Yang Xiaoqian beside him with disdain.

   Yang Xiaoqian didn't smile wryly, he didn't touch his nose or scratch his hair, he was still trying to digest and accept the explosive news that "the catastrophe of the last days is really coming", which is likely to become a reality. With a blank mind, he just blinked, and the first thing that came to his mind were two kind faces.

   "If I let my parents come from the provincial capital, can you help me protect them?"

"Who knows, it doesn't matter if you don't drag me down. Of course, the premise is that you are still very useful to me - no one wants to carry a few worthless burdens in the apocalypse, can you understand?" Yu Qian shrugged, It's impossible for him to really do his best to protect Yang Xiaoqian's parents, but he doesn't want to lose this very useful guide now, so he chooses to respond like this, "However, since Yuanjiang is the place where the disaster happened, it's not more difficult for them to come here. Is it dangerous? Are you stupid?"

   Yang Xiaoqian nodded suddenly and said, "It seems to be right, then, let's leave Yuanjiang immediately! Go to the provincial capital, no, go to Shangjing, it is the safest place."

   Yu Qian frowned and shook his head. "Only where the disaster occurs can there be a large number of awakened people who open the chains - these superpowers in your mouth are the talents I need, I need them! I want to stay, and you also want to stay."

   Yang Xiaoqian understands that Yu Qian is not a selfless Virgin who sacrificed himself to save others, and the reason why he chose to stay in Yuanjiang is very simple.

   For ordinary people, what is the only superpower in the world? hero? No, it's an outlier! It is an unacceptable and incomprehensible anomaly. Yu Qian is such an anomaly now, and he is destined to be rejected and suppressed in the open and secret. But what if superpowers are not unique, but numerous?

   Then the possibility of superpowers being accepted will be greatly increased, and even if you want to suppress a large number of superpowers, it is not easy, right? With such a power, Yu Qian no longer needs to be afraid of being locked up for slicing experiments. With such a power, he is qualified to speak, to seek cooperation, and even to write the rules of the new world.

   The reason why Yu Qian chose to stay is very simple. He wants to have such power. In other words, he needs to accept his younger brother and play the basic game.

If Yang Xiaoqian was just a bystander, he would applaud Yu Qian's risky decision. This is the choice a person with a big picture should make. This kind of talent may become the earth's strong shield, not just guarding the rancid cheese. Rat fleeing in the gutter.

  If this is a movie and Yu Qian is the protagonist, no matter what the ending is, Yang Xiaoqian will definitely cheer loudly with the popcorn in his hand.

   But this is not a movie, and Yang Xiaoqian is not a spectator, he is a participant.

And now it seems that his situation is not good. Judging from the disdain for ordinary people that Yu Qian shows everywhere, he is destined to pay more attention to the visionary and ignore ordinary people. For Yu Qian, people are useless and irrelevant people who don't need to bother to help, and Yang Xiaoqian is also an ordinary person now.

   "Okay, I'll stay." Yang Xiaoqian took a lot of effort to calm his turbulent breathing, gritted his teeth and said, "Please tell me, how can I wake up?"

"Um?"

   "Only the strong can survive, I don't want to die."

"do not know."

   "Don't know?" Yang Xiaoqian raised his voice.

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "Maybe you think that I'm afraid that you won't be able to control it after you have the ability, so I choose to hide it. But the truth is, I really don't know. If I can choose, I'd rather choose an awakener who opens the chain. Teammates, not a cumbersome guide who could die at any moment."

   Yang Xiaoqian nodded disappointedly. He believed what Yu Qian said, because Yu Qian chose to take risks and stay in order to find and gather awakened people. If he knew the systematic awakening method, why should he take risks.

   "Is there no clue at all?" Yang Xiaoqian asked still reluctantly.

Yu Qian thought about it for a while, and actually began to answer sincerely: "Everyone has their own reasons and opportunities to open the chain. Some people are bloodthirsty and like to fight, and they naturally awaken their abilities in battle; In the refutation, the inspiration suddenly has its own ability; some people pursue the fun and find their own ability in the novelty... I awakened the ability of metal control because I hated the robotic arm equipment in the laboratory. As for you, I do not know either."

After being silent for a long time, Yang Xiaoqian finally put down the idea temporarily, got up and started to continue the previous plan. Before the disaster was determined, he just planned to cooperate with Yu Qian to take revenge on Huang Han and find a chance to escape. The appearance of the water, only now did he realize the seriousness of the matter, and put away his thoughts of having fun.

"After I call Huang Wenjing, we will get off the bus. I will let him send the money to the tunnel outside the Sanguan Institute, which is the most suitable place. We will get the money as soon as possible to purchase the necessary materials. In addition, I will also Notify my parents."

"Do what you should do." Yu Qian nodded in agreement, "Also, your cowardly and stupid look just now is so ugly, you are completely different from before. But I also understand that you, born in a peaceful age, are so ugly. It's normal for ordinary people to have difficulty accepting this kind of news for a while, but I hope that when the disaster strikes, you won't be like that."

Yang Xiaoqian nodded, stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, his palms and forehead were drenched in cold sweat. It turned out that his psychological quality was not as good as he imagined. .

  I have to change, I can't do this, Yang Xiaoqian secretly made up his mind to be tough. In difficult circumstances, only strong and determined people can survive longer.

  The cataclysm is approaching, and the fittest will survive.
