Darkness is Coming

   After opening the door, Yang Xiaoqian saw Yu Qian sitting on the cot in the wooden house at first sight, and he was holding a book in his hand. The candle was dragged by a metal candlestick, floating behind Yu Qian's head, and the light of the candle illuminated the pages of the book and Yu Qian's engrossed profile.

   "You actually know how to read?" Yang Xiaoqian was amazed and read out the name on the cover of the book, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

   "Didn't you knock on the door?" Yu Qian folded the page he was reading as a bookmark, then closed the book and put it on the wooden table.

"This scene seems familiar." Yang Xiaoqian laughed, brought the cold dish and wine bottle to the table, and after a moment of reflection, he said, "If I remember correctly, half a year ago in the viewing suite on Paradise Island, I was lying on the bed. I read "Leadership" inside, you broke into the door, and I asked you a question, wouldn't you knock on the door?"

   Yu Qian frowned slightly, recalled for a few seconds, and nodded in agreement: "It seems that there is such a thing."

"Time flies so fast." Yang Xiaoqian unscrewed the bottle, poured it into the wine glass, and added when the fragrance of the wine filled the room, "This is not quite right, sometimes it feels too slow, every day They are all looking forward to the disappearance of the dome, and the days are like years. Sometimes I feel that it is too fast, only half a year, in the blink of an eye, the entire Yuanjiang has completely changed.

   "Are you drinking too much?" Yu Qian interrupted Yang Xiaoqian.

   "A little bit, but if you still want to drink, I'll come to you for two drinks."

   "Then go outside, don't spit on me." Yu Qian beckoned with a look of disgust, the long sword beside the bed turned into an iron plate, and he held up the wine bottle and glass and flew out the door.

   "Okay, facing the sea, the spring flowers are blooming, and the mood of drinking is even more."

  The two went out immediately and found a relatively clean place to sit down, basking in the moonlight, blowing the sea breeze, listening to the ebb and flow of the tide, raising glasses from time to time, but not speaking.

  Yu Qian has long been used to drinking alone, so he can't stand the loneliness, but Yang Xiaoqian can't stand it. After drinking three glasses, he can't help but say, "Why don't you talk about drinking?"

   "What are we talking about?"

   "I don't know, just talk about it, you can talk about it." Yang Xiaoqian didn't know what to talk about himself, so he kicked the ball back and asked Yu Qian to find a topic.

"Then tell me how they are now, I don't know much." The "them" in Yu Qian's mouth refers to Wang Li, Fang Yu, and Tang Tao. The island's affairs are rarely asked, and I don't know how these people are now.

   "It's rare that you care about them." Yang Xiaoqian took another drink and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you about them."

   "Wang Li..."

   He was interrupted by Yu Qian when he said two words: "Who is Wang Li?"

   Yang Xiaoqian rolled his eyes, he rarely does this action, but for Yu Qian's memory, he can only use this expression to express his mood.

"The owner of Paradise Island Casino, the one who was caught by us as a management coolie, has basically taken the position of vice president. Originally, I was worried that his relationship with Liu Yuanzhou would not let him destroy our interests, so I've been learning to manage myself."

"Now it seems that I was definitely not suspicious at the time. Liu Yuanzhou definitely sent someone to contact him, but well, in terms of competing for people's hearts, it seems that I would be better at saving people from afar, haha, or rather than dangerous corpses. Pointing to the front, Wang Li would prefer to stay in the Yuanjiao Association and be a vice president with a little real power. He is still the same as before, responsible for coordinating and managing various things for me. If there is a change, he has lost some weight. , I heard that blood lipids have dropped a lot, but blood pressure has gone up."

"He Yu, the mercenary who almost killed us is now completely reformed. He has reorganized the Hope Squad and spent most of his time fighting on the front line, actively rescuing his compatriots. According to the investigation team, he often went to Wang Hai's widow. Wang Luo BBQ opened by Luo Sujuan, I don’t know if it’s interesting to Luo Sujuan, or just helping Wang Hai take care of her, Wang Hai, do you remember?”

   "Remember." Yu Qian nodded, the dead are always easier to remember than the living.

"Dr Liang and Lin Liang are now the presidents of our Jiangxindao Hospital. His lover is the psychiatrist. Now he is a psychologist and a trauma therapist. They don't know that their son has become a mutant. password."

"Fang Yu is still the same, rebuilding the Dawning Squad, looking for mutants everywhere. Oh yes, he and his junior sister Ning Siyu are getting on well, Ning Siyu is the captain of the Coast Guard. The two of them have to do this. Saying that it is my credit, Fang Yu told me a few days ago that the two of them are engaged in private, and they are going to have a party for a while to officially get married."

"Hu Wenchao is still at dawn, the same as before, but he is not as afraid of death as before. Zhang Xinyi is now the secretary-general with real power and real duties, and she has too much work to do, but I heard that occasionally she will go to the zero-point bar to sing and entertain. Wang Li and Qiao Shan spent a lot of time trying to get her there. She said that when the war was over, they would become singers. She also said that we will **** her from afar and see who dares to give her to her. Talk about unspoken rules, haha."

  War? This word made Yu Qian raise his eyebrows. It turns out that zombies and mutants are no longer an apocalyptic disaster in everyone's eyes, but just a war. After listening to Yang Xiaoqian's words, Yu Qian nodded seriously and said, "That's right. Although I don't know what this unspoken rule you mean, I can probably guess that if anyone dares to touch your woman, I will help you with a sword. Picked his head off."

   "Don't, don't, don't." Yang Xiaoqian waved his hand, "It should be taken off, but she is not my woman, I am still a noble single noble."

   "Don't find one?" Yu Qian was a little confused. Sometimes when he was lonely, he would ask Wang Li to arrange a woman to meet his needs. It was difficult to understand Yang Xiaoqian's persistence in this regard.

"I'm a conservative, all love should be reserved for the person I love the most, but I haven't found such a person yet." Yang Xiaoqian took out a cigarette, lit it, and asked, "Hey, have you thought about it? Well, when the war is over and the dome disappears, what should I do?"

"what?"

"That's right, what are you going to do in the future? I've figured it out here. I'm going to open a large playground and eat, drink, and do nothing. It doesn't matter if I don't have money. There are people like Wang Li and superpowers. How much does it cost? I have to build a playground that is bigger than the Happy World in Baiyun Park. I have already thought about the name, so it's called 'Xiaoqian World', what a great name." Yang Xiaoqian's smiling eyes narrowed, " What about you, are you going to talk about cross talk?"

"I don't know. If there are no other disasters in the future, I may travel around the world and taste delicious food and wine from all over the world. However, this is only the first disaster, and there will be more terrible disasters in the future. You think you can open a playground ?"

   Yang Xiaoqian's expression was stagnant, the cigarette **** flickered on and off, and it took a long time for the answer to come out of Yang Xiaoqian's mouth along with the smoke: "There must be hope."

"The zombies in front of me have not been completely eliminated. Every time I think of more disasters in the future, the heavy pressure in my heart will make people mad. I have to find a hope, a vision that makes me happy, so that I can keep looking forward to tomorrow. , can you live to the death, otherwise what is the difference with those walking dead?"

   "I don't understand." Yu Qian shook his head, not wanting to dwell on this topic, and instead asked another question, "When will you help me set up the Council of Awakened?"

"It's almost time." Yang Xiaoqian didn't perfunctory, but directly stated the date, "A week later, Jiang Haichao will let people hold a Spring Festival Gala in Xinyuanjiang, and send invitations to invite the leaders of various settlements to come and watch. At that time, Quanyuanjiang Most of the Awakened will be present, and it is the best time for us to announce the formation of a parliament. You can rest assured that we will arrange everything, and you will definitely be elected as the speaker."

   "Will you arrange everything? You and Liu Yuanzhou?"

   "Yes, Liu Yuanzhou will make sure that Jiang Haichao does not interfere." Yang Xiaoqian nodded, suddenly remembering another thing, "By the way, you must remember to take the oath tomorrow on New Year's Day."

   "Well, the wine is finished."

   "I'm done talking." Yang Xiaoqian looked at his watch and said, "There are only forty minutes left this year, are you going to celebrate New Year's Eve together?"

   "New Year's Eve?" Yu Qian was puzzled.

   "Forget it, I won't explain it to you. If you are interested, you can go to the Zero Bar. Now there is a New Year's Eve event, and many people you know are drinking and dancing in it to welcome the New Year."

"you want to go?"

"No, I'm not going. I'll go to my father and accompany him to celebrate the new year." After Yang Xiaoqian finished speaking, he simply got up and left, absorbing hundreds of mutant brain nuclei to grow wings and grow all the way. The five-meter-tall Black Ghost lifted Yang Xiaoqian with his palm and flew away from the coast.

   "Zero Bar?" Yu Qian muttered to himself, then remembered the promise he made in Yongzhi Building, and decided to go to Zero Bar to have a look.

   As soon as he said it, Yu Qian set up his long sword, the sword light was like a rainbow, and went straight to Qunying Street.

   As soon as he entered the door, Yu Qian saw the woman calling him in the Yongzhi Building, and the other party immediately noticed him.

   "Wine Sword Immortal!" There seemed to be some kind of brilliance in the woman's moving eyes, "You are really here!"

  Yu Qian stood at the door, stunned for a while, then smiled stiffly, and said, "I'll treat you today."

  The whistle sounded, and the cheers one after another made Yu Qian start to like this place.
