Darkness is Coming

  Knowing that you will be detected, you still have to take action, and even give a reminder when the other party is not aware of it. Isn’t this intentionally revealing your own existence?

   Yang Xiaoqian felt puzzled. Unless the Zero One Base intends to communicate with its counterparts in the United States and share technology for common development, he cannot see any meaning of revealing himself.

   "Why do you want to take the initiative to expose it? Shouldn't this kind of technology be tightly wrapped, especially not to be known by the U.S. federal government, which is also a competitor?"

   This time the question was not answered as smoothly as before. Liu Zhongqian's reply was: "I'm sorry, I have no right to respond to this. If you insist on asking, I can take you down to see Liu Bureau."

  Yang Xiaoqian pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I can talk to him face to face."

"I won't go, so that the conversation between you and Liu Yuanzhou can go more smoothly." Yu Qian suddenly interjected, making Yang Xiaoqian even more puzzled. I want to ask Liu Yuanzhou for an explanation in person. In this case, Yu Qian should insist on having a face-to-face talk with Liu Yuanzhou.

However, it is always a good thing that Yu Qian can be so understanding and reasonable. As long as Yu Qian is not present when talking with Liu Yuanzhou, Yang Xiaoqian can ask more things that are inconvenient to ask in front of Yu Qian, and then selectively interpret the responses in an appropriate way. And convey it to Yu Qian, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts and unpleasantness, and save a lot of trouble.

Liu Zhongqian immediately summoned a staff member, who was no longer a Terminator-like Secret Service with a muscular and expressionless face, but a slender woman who did not show weakness between her eyebrows. When applying Fendai, she did not use chemicals to cover the traces of the years on her face, and the faint smile on the corners of her lips made people feel like a spring breeze.

Liu Zhongqian pointed at the woman who was old enough to be his mother, and said, "Speaker Yu, please go to the lounge with our staff and wait. Of course, you can leave at any time, it depends on your mood. Can……"

"I will go to the Beijing Office of the Parliament or the South Capital Office in Beijing. I don't need to trouble you in the 19th Bureau." Yu Qian waved his hand, without looking at Liu Zhongqian, he moved his chin to the side, indicating that Liu Zhongqian was calling. The staff leads the way.

"Okay, President Yang, please move." Although Liu Zhongqian is not Liu Yuanzhou's biological son, but just looking at the poker-like face, it is really similar. No matter what Yu Qian does or says, he always looks like an ancient well without waves. stiff expression.

   After finishing speaking, Liu Zhongqian walked out of the operating room, stepped over the "road to the future", and walked into a corridor comparable to a labyrinth.

   Yang Xiaoqian didn't ask any further questions and followed behind Liu Zhongqian. Judging from the elevator buttons, the operation room on this floor is the lowest floor that the elevator can reach in the above-ground parking lot, but Liu Zhongqian has said more than once that "if you need to go down to the Liu Bureau", so the real core of Zero One Base must still be Deeper underground, it seems that there is another secret passage to go underground.

  ………………

"what's your name?"

   After hearing this abrupt question, the woman in white walking in front slowed down, walked side by side with Yu Qian, looked ahead, and replied softly, "Luo Xiao."

"Oh." Yu Qian nodded. For some reason, he had an inexplicable affection for this Ms. Luo who had never met. Even a professional smile on her face made Yu Qian feel comfortable, which made Yu Qian feel this person. Intense curiosity.

   The product of curiosity is naturally more questions.

   "What is your job?" Yu Qian thought, since Liu Zhongqian arranged for this Ms. Luo to take him to the lounge, then she is either a waiter or a guide.

   But then Yu Qian denied his guess. As a top-secret place, there will be almost no visitors at Zero One Base. How can the guide and the waiter talk about it?

"My job is a psychologist. Before I was transferred to the Zero One Base, my duty was to treat the psychological trauma left by the soldiers after the secret mission." Luo Xiao's voice was like a clear spring in the mountains. People's ears flow down, refreshing.

   turned out to be a psychologist, no wonder he has such affinity, which can make people feel good at a glance. Yu Qian nodded to show his understanding, and asked, "Oh, what about now?"

   "My job now is to relieve the psychological pressure of the staff in Zero One Base so that they can work more efficiently."

   "Huh? Those operators we saw just now?"

   "No, it's the poor people below." Luo Xiao sighed faintly, opened a door in front of him, and the rest room arrived.

  Compared to the operation room full of consoles and screens, the lounge filled with various entertainment facilities is very empty, because there is no one in it.

  ………………

Yang Xiaoqian looked back at the empty passage behind him. The gray and white walls stretched to the point where he couldn't reach the sight. Taking a vehicle to move at high speed on this long road, it was difficult to detect the change of position, because the surrounding scene was only Constant monotonous repetition.

   Finally, an alloy gate appeared in front of him as a reference. From this, Yang Xiaoqian was able to see the speed of the mobility tool he was riding. He couldn't estimate a specific value. If you use language to describe it, it's probably two words: very fast.

  After stopping smoothly in front of the alloy door, Yang Xiaoqian stepped off the transportation tool with a structure similar to a car but full of sci-fi elements, and asked, "Is this your new product too?"

"No." Liu Zhongqian shook his head, "Real life is always full of beautiful surprises, and sometimes the equipment R&D department will make some novel items that are fresh and interesting but not economical and not suitable for large-scale promotion due to accidents. This is just one of them. One, go in, I'll wait for you outside."

The alloy door opened in response, Liu Zhongqian did not move forward, his strange appearance made Yang Xiaoqian hesitate when he stepped through the alloy door, and even a ridiculous thought arose in his heart: Is it possible that the alloy door will be closed immediately after I walk in, putting me Stuck in a secret room with no gaps?

   "It seems that we really need proper communication between us so that you don't have this comical suspicion."

   Liu Yuanzhou's voice sounded not far ahead, leaving Yang Xiaoqian frozen in front of the door.

   Funny? This is by no means a word that Liu Yuanzhou can use, and the voice sounds ups and downs, and it sounds very human.

"Very surprised?"

Liu Yuanzhou slowly got up and walked towards Yang Xiaoqian. He didn't have any strange equipment on his body. He held a glass cup in each hand, and the cup was filled with mellow tea. He handed a cup of tea to Yang Xiaoqian and said a sentence that brought back many memories: Zhou, I'm sorry."

   Yang Xiaoqian took the teacup stiffly, looking in a trance.
