Darkness is Coming

   "Dah" with a muffled sound.

The head of the    long-tongue mutant was chopped off by a dagger, and then shattered by a punch from the black ghost.

"Clang clang clang" sounded beside him, Yang Xiaoqian turned his head and saw Yu Qian standing there looking tired, all the chains fell to the ground, and the dagger in the distance could not be recovered. There is also a small burden.

   "Thank you for saving me again." Yang Xiaoqian said sincerely.

"Idiot, if you weren't stupid and stayed where you were, I wouldn't have to rescue you. As long as I wasn't discovered by the mutants for a second or two, I would be able to make a sneak attack. Why is it so troublesome." Yu Qian snorted coldly and stretched out his hand again. , "Brain nucleus, give it to me."

   Yang Xiaoqian knew that he was wrong, so he could only helplessly laugh. After all, it was normal for him to react abnormally on the spot without a battle, but today is different from the past, and now one neglect can be life-threatening.

   "Black Phantom, give me the brain core." Yang Xiaoqian thought silently in his heart, thinking that Black Phantom would immediately take out the brain core from the mutant's brain and send it to him, but he didn't expect that Black Phantom did not follow the instructions immediately this time.

   "Hey, hey!" The Black Phantom who returned to his side held the mutant's brain nucleus, and the walnut-sized lens was like a small gravel in his big hand.

   "What do you mean?" Yang Xiaoqian was surprised and worried, would Black Phantom disobey his orders?

"Hey!" Black Phantom stomped his feet like a child who had been robbed of candy. The huge soles of his feet hit the ground and caused a lot of vibration, and then he slowly reached out his hand and gently touched his brain core unwillingly. Put it in Yang Xiaoqian's hand.

   "What's the matter?" Yu Qian felt this obvious abnormality and asked aloud.

"I don't know, Black Specter seems to want this brain core. It's strange. Before he saw the zombie brain core, there was obviously no response. Could it be because of the mutant?" Yang Xiaoqian handed the brain core to Yu Qian, but Yu Qian returned it. He came back and said, "Then show him why he wants a mutant brain nucleus, maybe it can enhance your strength?"

  Yang Xiaoqian nodded gratefully. For some reason, the feeling of disappointment when Black Phantom handed over his brain nucleus was fed back to himself. It would be best to make Black Phantom satisfied and happy.

   "If it really improves my strength, are you not afraid that I will turn the tables on the customer?" Yang Xiaoqian asked when he took the brain core and handed it to Black Phantom.

   Yu Qian laughed and replied, "Is our structure so small that we need to fight within to maintain our own power?"

The zombies in Yuanjiang are only the first catastrophe, and there will be endless disasters and crises in the future. There are countless enemies to fight and conquer, but anyone with a brain will try their best to avoid internal fighting and consume their own strength. people with brains. Therefore, Yu Qian is confident that as long as the two sides do not have serious ideological differences, the cooperative relationship can last for a long time. That being the case, if you can enhance the strength of your own faction, why not do it?

At this point, Yang Xiaoqian certainly stopped being hypocritical, and threw the mutant brain nucleus to the black ghost, the black ghost was like a child, dancing for the "candy" that he had lost and found, and the dark face with no facial features on the back of his head cracked a horizontal stripe, " "Hey!" A suction force came from the horizontal lines, and the brain core was sucked in.

   "It seems... nothing has changed?" Yang Xiaoqian was ashamed, shouldn't it be such a waste?

   "Hi!" Black Phantom hurriedly turned around to show the results: a pair of small black wings grew out of the shoulder blades on both sides of his spine behind him.

   "So small, can you fly?" Yang Xiaoqian compared the length of his wings with the height of Black Phantom.

   The black ghost fluttered a few times with his hands like a bird, shouted hey, hey, and pointed to the corpse of the mutant, and then to his face.

  Yang Xiaoqian understood, what Black Phantom wanted to convey was that he couldn't fly yet, but as long as he ate more mutant brain nuclei, his wings would continue to grow until he could support his body to fly in the sky.

   "Hey, haha, that's amazing." Yang Xiaoqian looked at Yu Qian triumphantly and asked, "Who said that the brain core can't be eaten, and who said that fighting monsters can't be upgraded?"

Yu Qian rolled his eyes and replied: "Your ability is quite special, you can use the energy body clone to eat the brain core, there is no one in ten thousand chance of such a thing. Except you, who else can do this, dare to If you eat the brain nucleus, you will definitely be infected and transformed into a living corpse."

"you sure?"

   "Probably, that's what the documentation says." Yu Qian rubbed his tired face and replied casually.

   Oh, data? Yang Xiaoqian narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Qian's trouser pocket, where he kept his pocket watch.

   Yang Xiaoqian thought to himself: It seems that he still has some secrets that I don't know. Maybe there are various materials recorded in the pocket watch, and maybe the way of using the brain nucleus comes from it.

   But Yang Xiaoqian didn't ask questions about the caring form. Everyone has their own secrets. Yang Xiaoqian felt that Yu Qian's trust in him was not enough for him to share his deepest secrets and greatest support.

Looking back at Wang Hai, who was standing there, and his father Yang Yan, who was sitting on the ground, Yang Xiaoqian realized that. After the fierce battle, he only confirmed his father's safety, and he didn't ask about the situation of others. He listened as soon as he was about to speak. to an uncontrollable cry.

   is a female voice, Liang Helin's wife!

   "What's the matter?" Yang Xiaoqian approached in three steps and two steps, Dr. Liang's family surrounded him, and Wang Li collapsed beside him.

   Liang He Lin and his wife did not answer, one bandaged the wound on his son Liang Jinyuan, and the other burst into tears.

Wang Li explained, "Liang Xiaodi didn't dodge just now, but his arm was scratched by that long tongue." After speaking, Wang Li hesitated. He wanted to explain that it had nothing to do with him, but he thought it was better not to talk too much now. Speak so as not to be offended.

   Yang Xiaoqian's heart skipped a beat. Liang Jinyuan was his front and back table for three years. Although his relationship was not as strong as his best friend, he was also a good friend. Otherwise, Yang Xiaoqian would not agree to take a detour to save him.

   Now, is another friend leaving?

   Yang Xiaoqian clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, which can be said to be his negligence. Thinking back now, the mutant zombies who can disguise themselves as girls shouldn’t break the car window and let the people in the car run away, while the long-tongue mutant can smash the car window with a long tongue with great force and stick into the car. attack inside.

   In this case, it is extremely dangerous to hide in the car without any space to escape, and it is not surprising that the people in the car will abandon the car and flee in a panic.

   "If I had thought about it earlier and reacted earlier, maybe Liang Jinyuan would have been fine if he was on guard." Yang Xiaoqian was full of remorse, and his mouth was full of bitterness as if he had eaten yellow lotus.

  "I'm sorry." After apologizing, he realized that his voice was dry and hoarse. Yang Xiaoqian squatted down and put his hand on Liang Jinyuan's arm, looking at the deep wound on it, black and red blood gushing out.

"I'm sorry, I wish I had superpowers like you, and I shouldn't have to die." Liang Jinyuan's face that was flushed with adrenaline slowly faded, he forced a smile and said, "It really makes me sick. People are unbalanced, how come you and Yu Qian both have superpowers and I am so unlucky? Do you think I will become a zombie if I bite a zombie?"

   Yang Xiaoqian avoided answering and asked in a muffled voice, "Does it hurt?"

   "Bullshit, it hurts."

   "I didn't bring morphine, did I smoke?" Yang Xiaoqian said, took out the Hongjiang in his bag, took one, and handed it to Liang Jinyuan.

   "It's not like you don't know, I don't." Liang Jinyuan didn't pick up the cigarette, and laboriously took out his PSP, turned it on and logged into the game, and cg was displayed on the screen.

Mother Liang wailed and knocked down the PSP in Liang Jinyuan's hand, crying: "When are you still playing games, you are still playing games! It's all because of this broken game! You, what do you want me and your dad to do? Do it, Lao Liang, look at your son, look at your son..." Mother Liang pulled Liang Helin.

Liang Helin shook off Mother Liang with a backhand, and shouted in a louder voice: "What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about! Whoever said that if you get hit, you can't be saved, who said that! It's not acting in a movie! How do you know that there is no help now, let I'll bandage him, what are you arguing about!"

  Yang Xiaoqian raised his head and turned his inquiring eyes to Yu Qian. Although he felt that there was no hope, he was still a bit lucky. Maybe it was really different from the movie. Isn't wound infection fatal?

   But Yu Qian shook his head and shattered this fantasy: "If he is not saved, he will become a living corpse in the shortest half an hour and the longest day."

   After being silent for a while, Yu Qian said again: "Give him a good time, it's better than being tortured and finally turning into a monster that is neither human nor ghost."

"Don't, don't!" Mother Liang immediately cried after hearing this, while Liang and Lin said to themselves as if they had not heard of it: "Hurry up, hurry up and prepare the equipment, I want to perform amputation on him, the virus must not have spread yet. , must not! Amputation is fine, it can save lives, yes."

   In order to escape from reality and deceive themselves, Liang and Lin ignored the basic common sense of being a doctor, and focused on doing their best.

   Dr. Liang and his wife were on the verge of collapse, Wang Hai and Wang Li stood silently beside him, Yang Xiaoqian repeated a thousand words in his heart but couldn't say a word, and Yu Qian had an indifferent look that had nothing to do with him. The most calm person around was Liang Jinyuan himself.

  Liang Jinyuan picked up the PSP, stared at the screen with all his attention, and controlled the game character to hack and slash left and right to break through the encirclement, showing no sign of his own impending death.

   "Why, are you still playing?" Seeing his expression of neither joy nor sorrow, Yang Xiaoqian raised a deep respect in his heart.

Yang Xiaoqian is smart and pushy since he was a child. Although he is not arrogant when he treats people and things, he is always self-sufficient and has never admired anyone from the bottom of his heart. I just thought, "It's nothing great, if I'm willing to work hard, it's okay."

   But now, Yang Xiaoqian deeply admires Liang Jinyuan, who is familiar and unfamiliar in front of him. He is familiar because he was a classmate for three years, and he is unfamiliar because he has never understood Liang Jinyuan's strong and calm heart.

  Who dares to say that he has the courage to face death? Who dares to say that he has the courage to wait quietly for death?

"Why are you still playing? Because I'm very good at playing games. In the real world, I'm useless and can't do anything well, but in the game, I can call the wind and call the rain to dominate the ups and downs." Liang Jinyuan said while playing, "It is said that life is like a How do you know that our life is not a game? It’s just that I’m not very good at this special game. In other words, maybe the emptiness in the game world is my life. How can such a wonderful life stop? , as long as I can move, I will definitely keep playing."

   "I don't understand what you are saying." Yang Xiaoqian lowered his eyes in pain, not daring to look directly at Liang Jinyuan's pale face, "Liang Jinyuan, you are dying."

   After saying these cruel words, Yang Xiaoqian felt a pain in his heart like being smashed by a sledgehammer. He had the urge to cry, but not a single tear could flow out.

"I know, I know, what are you doing to rush me to death? Don't bother with each one of you. Since I'm not saved, let me enjoy the last few moments." Liang Jinyuan raised his head and smiled casually, "What are you busy doing? What, aren't you rushing to Paradise Island? Hurry up, don't worry about me, I just want to ask you guys to take care of my parents as much as possible. Oh, by the way, let me have a few words with my parents alone before leaving."

   Yang Xiaoqian nodded solemnly, turned and left, leaving the space for Liang Jinyuan's family.

   took a few steps and stood beside the decapitated zombie girl, only to realize that this mutant species separated from the corpse had suddenly grown a head, hands and feet, and turned into a cute little girl again.

However, at this time, she had obviously reached the limit, she didn't even have the strength to move, she could only look at Yang Xiaoqian pitifully with her big watery eyes, and pleaded with a delicate voice: "Big brother, I was wrong. , I was really wrong, please don't kill me, okay, let me be your slave, I can serve you in various ways, you can keep me by your side, whatever you want, there is absolutely nothing with normal people. Different."

"boom"

  The bullets ejected from the barrel of the gun burst her mouth with rage.

   "Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang"

  The gunshots continued, and the flesh flew.

After emptying the magazine of the rifle in his hand, Yang Xiaoqian poured half a barrel of gasoline into the unshaped pile of minced meat on the ground, wiped the blood stains on his face, and spit out the cigarette **** in his mouth with a "bah". On the piece of meat that was doused with gasoline, a raging fire rose up. Yang Xiaoqian turned his back to the flames and walked towards the others. Behind him, the Black Phantom squatted down and picked up the brain core and threw it into his mouth.

   "Did you die this time?" Yu Qian asked.

   Yang Xiaoqian nodded with a heart-pounding smile on his face.

  I hope she's not dead yet.

   I wish I could kill her a hundred more times.
