Darkness is Coming

After    said everything he knew, the fat man was arranged to rest in the Humvee of the second team, and was looked after by two soldiers.

  Yang Xiaoqian, Yu Qian, Fang Yu, and Wang Hai got together to start a small meeting.

   "Do you believe what he said?"

   After Yang Xiaoqian raised the issue, the other three expressed their opinions and expressed their belief in Fatty's statement. This was the first time that the three of them had a unified opinion.

In the end, Fang Yu made a summary: "Look at him, unlike people who can make up such stories, we have hardly encountered living people and zombies along the way, which confirms his statement. The most important thing is that he does not seem to have The reason lied to us."

"Of course a clever liar won't let you see the reason for deceiving you. Many classic scams are accomplished by taking advantage of the victim's idea." Yang Xiaoqian shook his head and said, "Fang Yu, you have to remember, always be vigilant at all times. Challenge your habitual thinking."

  Fang Yu thought about those classmates who made empirical mistakes and paid the price with their lives, and nodded in agreement, but felt a little uncomfortable. In Fang Yu's opinion, Yang Xiaoqian was obviously younger than him, but he always taught him in the tone of an elder. Although what he said made sense, it was always unaccustomed to him. And Fang Yu didn't understand why Yang Xiaoqian cared about him so much, always pulling him by his side to explain this and teach that.

   In fact, the reason is very simple, Yang Xiaoqian needs to employ people.

   In the future mutant hunting operations, Yang Xiaoqian cannot participate too much. It is difficult to manage a country well even if every battle can be won by an emperor who has to fight against him in every battle.

   But Yang Xiaoqian didn't participate, and he couldn't hand over the command of the Dawning Squad, so what could he do? Had to train a qualified leader.

  Fang Yu's brain is not stupid, which Yang Xiaoqian already understood when he first saw him, and Fang Yu's character is not a problem, he is also an awakened person, and he knows how to be grateful, so he is the best candidate at the moment.

   "Then what do you mean, the fat man lied to us?" From Yu Qian's expression, it can be seen that his sentence is obviously not a real question.

   "No." Yang Xiaoqian rubbed between his brows, frowning for too long, there was some soreness between his brows, so he had to use his fingertips to relieve it.

   After rubbing for a while, Yang Xiaoqian said, "I need to think about it, you all take a rest, and let me think about the next action by myself."

   After saying that, no matter what their reaction was, Yang Xiaoqian hurriedly walked to the pavilion and began to take a deep breath.

   After clearing the messy thoughts in his mind, Yang Xiaoqian took out a small black cuboid from his trouser pocket, which was a voice recorder.

   Press the play button, Liu Yuanzhou's voice came from the recorder, Yang Xiaoqian closed his eyes and listened intently.

"Because this section of the road is mostly a residential area with a large population, the possibility of mutants is the greatest. Moreover, the terrain is complex, and the residential buildings are dense, making it inconvenient to cover with artillery fire, so the mutants must be cleaned up first, and then the infantry enters the residential buildings to clean them one by one. Clean and rescue the residents. Moreover, this road has convenient transportation and many municipal facilities, which is of great strategic significance.”

   "click", the button of the recorder makes a sound, and shortly after the back button is pressed, the sound comes out again.

   "Because of this..."

  Yang Xiaoqian kept his posture and didn't move. After listening to it three or four times, he took out his mobile phone and looked around at the photos he took.

   After reading the photo, Yang Xiaoqian opened the military map sent by Liu Yuanzhou and carefully compared it with the map cached in the phone.

   After thinking for a long time, I finally got the answer, and I couldn't help sighing: "Commander Liu, Commander Liu, are you tired?"

   After sighing, Yang Xiaoqian turned on the walkie-talkie and said, "Yu Qian, come to me, I have something to look for you."

  Yu Qian didn't reply after hearing it, and went straight to the pavilion, looking unhappy, and said, "I know you are in command now. Even if you are in command, it doesn't make sense for you to carry the shelf with me, right?"

   "No." Yang Xiaoqian waved his hand. He didn't expect Yu Qian to still care about such details after so long, so he had to explain, "I came to you to tell you something, only the two of us can know."

   "Oh? What's the matter?" Reflecting his own privilege, Yu Qian quickly became interested.

   "Liu Yuanzhou didn't send us to clear the mutants at all. Maybe he did have the idea of ​​forming a mutant hunting team, but this time he sent us to destroy this evolutionary religion." Yang Xiaoqian directly stated his conjecture.

   Yu Qian was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Think about it, there are so many places that may produce mutants, why did you choose this place? Liu Yuanzhou's original words are that the municipal facilities are complete, the transportation is convenient, and the strategic significance is of great significance. From the map, this is indeed the case, but this The map has been altered." Yang Xiaoqian spread out the map, put down the phone, pointed to the electronic map displayed on the phone screen and said, "Did you see it, it's different. He lied to us."

   "Why did he lie to us? There is no reason." Yu Qian couldn't understand, even if he heard Yang Xiaoqian Fang Yu's exhortation half an hour ago: A clever liar will not let you see the reason for deceiving you.

   "Don't interrupt, just listen to me."

"You heard what the fat man just said, and it should be true. Think about it, since some people fled, why don't those people still run to the wilderness and forests if they don't run in the direction of the 258th Brigade? Once someone successfully escapes to the 258th Brigade Within the scope of control, will the news of this evolutionary religion inevitably reach Liu Yuanzhou's ears?"

"How can you allow other people to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Whether it's for love, reason or the law, Liu Yuanzhou can't tolerate these cannibalistic lunatics. But there are obviously awakened ones among them, and there are also a large number of people. Is it convenient for Liu Yuanzhou to do it himself? Do you have enough strength to do it? You can’t let the 258th Brigade open tanks to suppress, shoot civilians and bombard civilians, right? They can’t and dare not set this precedent, so they need us to help them.” Yang Xiaoqian gritted his back molars angrily, “ No wonder I put the map in the place that catches my attention the most, no wonder I'm so generous when I ask for it."

  Yu Qian was stunned. It took him a long time to wake up, but he still couldn't accept it, and asked again, "Then why is he doing such a complicated scam? Why don't you tell us directly?"

"Tell you directly, will you agree?" Yang Xiaoqian asked back, "Whether the evolutionary sect or the cannibalism cult, is there a direct conflict with our interests? No! Let us risk such a risk in exchange for that interest, We have a high chance of rejecting it. What about calling the target a mutant? The mutant is in direct conflict with our interests, and we ourselves have plans to hunt mutants. In this way, in our opinion, this cooperative transaction seems to be It was someone who paid us to do what we were meant to do, and of course we agreed happily."

"When we are tricked into the memorial tower and hear the news of the evolutionary religion, we who have been looking for the Awakened will naturally make contact. As long as the people he sent make some small moves, a fierce battle is inevitable, or This cult collapses, or we and this cult will lose both, and he will come to the end." After Yang Xiaoqian finished speaking, the emotions he had just suppressed came up again, and he stomped his feet fiercely, "I thought we were taking a big advantage this time, but I didn't expect him to let him. Cheated."

   Yu Qian couldn't speak for a long time after listening to it, and opened his mouth for a long time and a word popped out: "Fuck."
