Darkness is Coming

  Yu Qian sat cross-legged on the ground, the shadow from the eaves obscured his figure, the empty wine bottle fell at his feet, and was pushed by an invisible force to roll over and over again without making a sound.

   "This is a practice." Yu Qian said to himself, but he couldn't deceive his heart. He regretted agreeing to Yang Xiaoqian to help him guard the laboratory.

   I thought it was not much different from living alone in a log cabin by the sea, but it was not. Living in a log cabin by the sea, blowing the slightly fishy sea breeze, listening to the ups and downs of the waves, is very comfortable, and with just a word from him, all kinds of food and wine will be delivered, but what about staying here? There is nothing, even the toilet is a problem.

Nearly a week has passed, and no one has walked into the bungalow or walked out of the bungalow. That is to say, Qiu Zhe's underground laboratory has not been in or out for more than six days. Yu Qian has to guess, the underground laboratory. The lab is likely to have other exits or secret passages.

   This feeling of extreme boredom seems to have greatly reduced the flow of time, and it is as difficult as the ten years spent as an experiment.

"Hey, Xiao Zhou, come here." Yu Qian whispered into the walkie-talkie. He was calling a staff member of the Far Rescue Association. They were arranged by Yang Xiaoqian in this house to assist Yu Qian in monitoring the laboratory. After all, the awakened He is also a human being, and it is impossible for Yu Qian to keep an eye on the laboratory all the time, so when Yang Xiaoqian came, he carefully selected two staff members from the president's office and stayed here to assist Yu Qian. Xiao Zhou was one of them.

  A young man who looked similar to Yu Qian's age immediately came to Yu Qian's side. Although he was sleepy, his face was full of tiredness and his eyes were bloodshot, he was not at all dissatisfied or depressed.

   "Vice President." Xiao Zhou said respectfully.

Yu Qian frowned. He didn't like being called the vice president very much. Unlike Wang Li, Fang Yu, and Tang Tao, he didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Yuanjiao Society, but he was even more reluctant to let others directly. Call yourself by name.

   "Go get me a bottle of wine." Yu Qian still stared in the direction of the laboratory without turning his head.

   Xiao Zhou responded and was about to get Yu Qian some wine. Just as he turned to leave, Yu Qian suddenly stopped him.

"and many more."

"Uh?"

   Yu Qian stood up suddenly, and as far as he could see, a familiar figure appeared, walking in the direction of the laboratory.

   That figure also appeared on the sixth floor of Yongzhi.

   "Do you know Yongzhi?" Yu Qian asked.

  Xiao Zhou immediately nodded and replied: "I know, not only know, but also quite familiar with it. My job is to sort out and update the status of each settlement in a timely manner."

   "Who are the people who will appear in Yongzhi?"

  Xiao Zhou replied without hesitation: "Because Yongzhi is too close to the black domain, there are very few people who will stay in Yongzhi. Except for the corpse hunters passing by, there are only Kong Wu and his colleagues."

   "Can you tell who that is?" Yu Qian pointed to the distance, a small moving point caught the eye on an empty flat ground. Xiao Zhou raised the telescope, found a suitable angle, and saw the man's profile clearly. After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't recognize Yongzhi, there are more than a dozen people in Yongzhi, I have only seen photos of Kong Wu, But this man doesn't look like a corpse hunter, how can a corpse hunter walk alone in the black domain? He doesn't look like an outpost, and he seems to know where the bungalow is."

Yu Qian snorted, and naturally remembered the abnormal zombie gathering phenomenon downstairs in Yongzhi, guessing that it must be related to this person, quietly left the place, walked through the shadows, and put a locator in after getting close. in the man's pocket.

   After that, the man walked directly into the bungalow and did not appear for a long time. Yu Qian has entered the underground laboratory, and naturally knows that there is nothing in the bungalow except the elevator, and the elevator also needs a fingerprint lock to open, so the person must not be a loner who accidentally bumped into it.

   "Xiao Zhou, let me ask you a question. You say this Qiu Zhe, is it possible to make a potion to attract zombies or something?"

Xiao Zhou tilted his head to ponder for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think it's possible. Since he is an awakened person and can make a potion for strengthening, it shouldn't be difficult for him to make a potion that attracts zombies. Maybe not much. It's complicated, zombies will be attracted by various smells, as long as Qiu Zhe can make a volatile medicine, he may be able to attract zombies with a special smell, just like toilet water to drive away mosquitoes."

   "However, since this Qiu Zhe is devoted to studying mutants, and he is not even willing to spend time developing serums, why did he study this kind of thing that attracts zombies? And why should he put it in Yongzhi?"

   "What?" Xiao Zhou couldn't hold back his sleepiness, so he couldn't hear Yu Qian's words clearly.

"It's nothing, you go and wake up the other person and ask him to go back and tell your president, that Yongzhi was surrounded by zombies probably because Qiu Zhe asked someone to do it, and Qiu Zhe probably has the kind of thing we said just now. Something that can attract zombies." Yu Qian said firmly, he didn't believe it was a coincidence, maybe Qiu Zhe was the kind of crazy person who took the people in Yongzhi Building as experiments.

"Let him go back by himself?" Xiao Zhou, who has never refused any orders, hesitated this time. This is the black domain. They are just clerks in the president's office, not combatants. Let them walk alone in the black domain and walk back to the river. Heart Island, isn't that sending people to death?

Seeing Xiao Zhou's embarrassed expression, Yu Qian remembered that they didn't have the ability, so he changed his mouth and said, "Forget it, you record this matter and record it in detail, and you can tell Yang Xiaoqian when we go back. Well, you are so sleepy. Just go back and sleep for a while."

  Xiao Zhou nodded, ran back into the room and hurriedly wrote down half a page of paper, then lay down on the ground and closed his eyes and fell asleep. Last night, they were both in charge of monitoring, and he couldn't keep his eyelids open all night.

   Yu Qian sat back on the ground, the empty wine bottle at his feet did not shake anymore, because Yu Qian found something more interesting to relieve his boredom.

   "Why do I always have to wait for Yang Xiaoqian to analyze it, I should think about it myself."

  Sitting anyway, there is nothing else to do. Before his brain was paralyzed by alcohol, Yu Qian began to try to solve this puzzle.

   Assuming that Qiu Zhe has developed a potion that can attract a large number of zombies, why did he do this, and why did he let the person he just saw go to Yongzhi Building to put potions to attract zombies?

   "Perhaps, people go to Yongzhi Building to attract zombies to see the effect."

   "But why find a place with so many people to see the effect?"

   Yu Qian began to ask and answer himself.

   "Maybe it's a cover up. If someone sees a lot of zombies surrounded by an empty space for no reason, they will definitely be suspicious. If the zombies are surrounded by the Yongzhi Building, others will think that the people inside will attract the zombies."

   "But if that's the case, why don't you find a place where no one is there to do the experiment, why do you have to choose Yongzhi?"

   "Why does it happen to be the time when we came here?"

   "Why do this?"

  Yu Qian thought hard and racked his brains, but he couldn't come up with a reasonable answer. But he is not in a hurry, because he still has a lot of boring time to devote, and this practice has only just begun.
