Darkness is Coming

   There is an elevator at the end of the passage, with a special structure and extraordinary material, which makes Yang Xiaoqian feel a sense of deja vu.

   After two seconds, Yang Xiaoqian recalled where this feeling came from. He had seen Qiu Zhe's underground laboratory when he was in the far river, and the elevator from the bungalow to the underground laboratory was designed like this.

   "President Yang, Speaker Yu, welcome to Zero One Base."

   A childish voice, a childish face.

   When Yang Xiaoqian saw the thin figure at the end of the passage, he rarely showed a surprised expression.

   This is a little boy with agile facial features and a handsome face. Judging from his age, he will not exceed ten years old. Judging from the height and the baby fat on his face, this value needs to be adjusted back one or two bars.

The little boy wears shiny hairspray on his head, and combs his long hair into a standard old-fashioned three or seven points. The hair on both sides is distinct, and a straight line in the middle shows a refreshing scalp. There is no dandruff in sight. The shampoo makers were willing to pay big bucks for the boy to be the face.

The hairstyle used by adults is not obtrusive at all, because this boy has a maturity far beyond his peers - to be precise, more than 20 years of maturity far beyond his peers - people feel that this hairstyle matches It fits his plump face.

This maturity comes from the confidence, calmness, and indifference in the boy's eyes. His unwavering eyes seem to see through everything. His expressionless and tender face seems to be just a three-dimensional photo. He is full of a sense of harmony that is full of discord. .

The most striking thing about    is the chain around his forehead that glows with dim light, which is the unique symbol of the awakened.

   This is an Awakened who is not registered with the Awakened Council and has no official Awakened status.

   The reason why he showed the chain on his forehead generously, perhaps to prove his identity, to reflect the high standard of this reception?

   Yang Xiaoqian stared blankly at the boy, and suddenly there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, which made Yang Xiaoqian puzzled.

   Yu Qian also had this kind of doubt, but instead of waiting for the boy in front of him to introduce himself, he first asked the doubts in his heart in his own candid expression: "Are you Liu Yuanzhou's illegitimate child?"

   is really a shocking question. The driver of the car, who has been looking like a robot, failed to control the twitching of his facial muscles and made an indescribable strange expression.

"No, I'm Director Liu's adopted son." The little boy's face was still calm, as if he had expected Yu Qian to ask this question, "My name is Liu Zhongqian, and I am also the two guides on this trip. You two answer your questions."

   As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy looked up at Yang Xiaoqian, nodded and said, "Yes, as long as it is within my authority, I will answer it. For questions beyond my authority, you can ask Liu Yuanzhou directly."

"This kid really has a personality, he says he is Liu Yuanzhou's adopted son, but he calls Liu Yuanzhou's position, haha, from this detail, he really follows Liu Yuanzhou, uh, except for his appearance, everything else is similar to God, I have to say This is Liu Yuanzhou's illegitimate son, I will never doubt it." Yu Qian joked in a sarcastic tone, as the speaker of the Awakened Council, he would not make such a rude and rogue attitude in other places, but in Liu Yuanzhou's territory Go on, how can Liu Yuanzhou be so disgusted? It's sad to say, Yu Qian knows in his heart that this is the only way he can get revenge on Liu Yuanzhou, although Liu Yuanzhou is unlikely to have negative emotions because of it.

   Halfway through his words, Yu Qian noticed Yang Xiaoqian's abnormality, and immediately closed his voice and cast an inquiring look at Yang Xiaoqian.

   Yang Xiaoqian opened his mouth, but he stopped talking.

When he heard the little boy Liu Zhongqian say that he would answer his questions just now, Yang Xiaoqian wanted to ask, "Can I ask any questions?" coincide.

   "You two, please come with me."

  Liu Zhongqian turned sideways and made an inviting gesture, without performing any operations, the elevator door opened automatically.

  Yang Xiaoqian and Yu Qian looked at each other and walked into the elevator one after another, the elevator door closed immediately, and the elevator began to accelerate down.

   "You said just now that you are Director Liu's adopted son? Can you elaborate?" Yang Xiaoqian asked the little boy, "I think you should have the authority to answer this question?"

"Of course." Liu Zhongqian seemed to make a nodding motion, but the swing of his head was small enough to make people understand, but he didn't waste any excess physical strength, "I am an orphan in Yuanjiang Welfare Institute, and I have not corrected my name. , In the past, Director Liu often went to the orphanage to visit me. He was very kind to me. In my heart, Director Liu was my father, just because Director Liu was unmarried and could not adopt me. After the disaster, I became an awakened person, and then I went everywhere I inquired, it took two months to find Director Liu..."

   "Did you find Liu Yuanzhou?" Yang Xiaoqian interrupted Liu Zhongqian's words. An eight or nine-year-old child, in the chaotic Yuanjiang at that time, could survive alone for two months? Can you overcome many obstacles and find Commander Liu who pointed to the corpse? Even if he had awakened his superpowers in the early days of the disaster, he was only a child with extremely limited knowledge and vision.

  I can't imagine how much suffering a child who should be innocent and enjoying the care of his parents would have to go through to become the iceberg he is today.

   "Yes, I found Director Liu." Liu Zhongqian's calm tone was very similar to that of Liu Yuanzhou, "I told Director Liu that I hope to be named Liu after him. Director Liu agreed and gave me a correct name: Liu Zhongqian."

   "Ha." Yu Qian glanced at Liu Zhongqian with a smile, then turned to Yang Xiaoqian and said, "It's really interesting to get this name."

   "What?" Yang Xiaoqian was still immersed in thinking, but he didn't realize what Yu Qian was saying for a while.

Yu Qian teased: "Liu Zhongqian, Yang Xiaoqian, is this not obvious enough? Having a child should be like Yang Xiaoqian. Haha, when I have a child in the future, I will name him Yu Da (Harmony) Qian. Medium pressure is small, big pressure is medium ."

Yang Xiaoqian laughed dumbly, and was about to say that it was just a coincidence, but Liu Zhongqian turned his head and said solemnly: "President Yang, in fact, Speaker Yu is right, Director Liu did say this when he named me, having a child. Be like Yang Xiaoqian."

"Ding"

  The elevator door opened, and in front of it was a dense number of super hosts, and the light of the power supply was comparable to the stars in the night sky in Tekapo, New Zealand.

  Liu Zhongqian took the lead out of the elevator and pointed to the narrow gap between the two rows of super hosts. A proud smile appeared on his face, but it disappeared quickly.

   "Two, this is the road to the future."
