Darkness is Coming

  The campus of Yuanjiang Normal University is far away from the urban area. There are many farmlands two kilometers away from the Normal University. There is little rice, but vegetables and fruits.

More than a dozen strangely-shaped mutants are busy on the farmland, harvesting agricultural products and loading them into big trucks that pull the goods. All those that cannot fit are burned on the spot. Every inch of the land is repeatedly doused with the blood of zombies, and the zombies used for bloodletting are in the There was a hill beside the field.

A youth-like figure stood on a high slope, looking down at the fields and the mutants busy in the fields, nodding from time to time to express satisfaction, and beside him stood a mutant with fat and giant ears, and a thorn covered with thorns. The variant, it is Ronaldo and the bone spur.

"Bai, I can see that they are already very dissatisfied, can't you explain to them why our saints need to collect these rice, vegetables and fruits?" Bone spur made an excuse at will to express his dissatisfaction, "It's so unnecessary. Let's not talk about causing trouble, the blood of these low-level corpses can't be fertile soil at all, and even if the soil is fertile, no matter what, the soil can't grow human flesh."

  Bai bit his right thumb lightly, and it took a long time for him to respond: "Ah, you don't have to explain it to them, they just need to obey orders, and they don't need to develop a bad habit of asking why."

   "You really want to know why I do this, don't you?" Bai looked at the bone spur with a funny look, and said, "The reason is very simple, after it stabilizes, I want to keep humans in captivity."

"what?"

"Have you seen the pigs in those pigsties? To raise fat, fat and delicious meat pigs, it is not enough to rely on junk food." Bai smiled slightly, "If you want to raise good food, you need to force them to exercise. It is far from enough, and they need to be fed with rice, vegetables and fruits to supplement them with the necessary nutrients."

   Bone spur made a grunting sound in his throat.

Bai continued: "Take everything that can be taken away, and burn everything that cannot be taken away, and the land is also watered with the blood of the walking dead, leaving the corpses aside, so that the 258 brigade dare not use the farmland again. As long as they can't grow food , sooner or later the balance of victory will fall in our favor with the passage of time."

"Also, sooner or later, we will build a kingdom belonging to the saints. Fighting and killing is not enough to achieve great things." I don't know if it was Ronaldo's illusion, Bai's face showed a strange and cunning look like Yang Xiaoqian, "Compared to violence Wouldn't it be easier and more efficient to conquer other saints and buy them with high-quality fresh meat?"

"By the time our evolutionary kingdom has begun to take shape, the 258th Brigade should have recovered most of the far river. There will be fewer and fewer humans left alone. If the Saints want to get enough food, they may need to take risks and invade the territory of the 258th Brigade. Get there. At that time, we, who have kept a large number of humans in captivity and have absolute strength, can attract countless saints in Yuanjiang to vote with just a wave of our arms.”

"When the saints have their own social circles, humans, a low-level species that can be used as slaves and food, can act as currency in the early days, and we, who have raised a large number of high-quality humans in captivity, are holding good money as capital. ruler."

   Bai's voice became more and more ethereal, causing Bone Spur and Ronaldo to look forward to it, as if they had seen the bright future described by Bai ahead.

   "In the near future, I will be the king of the saints, and you will be the founding fathers of the evolution of the kingdom of God. The benefits are in the present, the merits are in the future, and the fame will be passed down through generations!" Bai Xu raised his hands, his words bewitched.

  "Roar——" Bone spur couldn't restrain the excited roar, knelt down on one knee, Ronaldo knelt down closely, and shouted: "May I die for the Holy King!"

   Kneeling bone spurs and Ronaldo did not see, there was a mocking and disdainful smile on Bai's face.

"Get up." Bai pointed to the field and said, "Go and tell them, soon they won't need to do these chores, and there will naturally be slaves to serve them. However, until we stabilize the base camp, we can't bring a large number of humans, so this You can only work hard for them for a while.”

   "Vegetables, melons and fruits are difficult to preserve, even if they are refrigerated, they won't last long." Ronaldo suddenly remembered this and reminded him.

  Bai's expression was calm, obviously he had already thought of it.

   "What are we going to do before these fruits and vegetables spoil?" Ronaldo asked again.

   "We have three things to do. One: Lay down the Teachers College. Two: Find Lin Wanyu. Three: Interrupt the minions of the 258th Brigade."

  Ronaldo looked embarrassed and said, "With our strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight against the armored units of the 258th Brigade."

   "There is a tactic called guerrilla, and there is a strategy called heart attack." Bai bit his thumb again, "I have my own arrangements, you don't have to ask."

  Ronaldo didn't dare to ask any more questions, he bowed his head, I don't know when, the thin and frail figure in front of him has transformed from a partner with a better mind to a king he dare not disobey.

Two hours later, seventeen mutants were sitting around two round tables, drinking blood and eating meat. Grab food with both hands.

  The battle is imminent, and they need to replenish their energy as much as possible.

  White sat quietly in the compartment behind the screen, two pistols on his knees, motionless.

  Behind Bai, the nervous Bai Nana pinched her shoulders for Bai Hammer, trying her best to squeeze Bai's strong muscles.

   "What do you want to ask, ask." Bai felt Bai Nana's entanglement.

Bai Nana's pink lips parted slightly, and she asked in a small voice like a mosquito flying over, "Why do you want to join the war, it may be dangerous... Use, isn't it bad to use a sniper rifle?" I started to blame myself, what happened to me? Why should I worry about a man-eating monster? Wouldn't it be better for them to kill each other with these **** monsters? Wouldn't it be better to let them all die? But... people like Shiro, no, monsters, if they die...

   "I'm going to conquer them, not destroy them. It's impossible for the squirrels who are sneaking in the dark and shooting black guns to become the kings that they will convince." Bai Nana's chaotic thoughts were interrupted by Bai's answer.

   "Aren't you afraid of danger?" The words of concern blurted out, Bai Nana closed her eyes as if resigned, caring about monsters as much as they care about monsters, anyway, aren't we all monsters now?

  Bai squinted his eyes into slits, preventing the warmth in his eyes from revealing, and was silent for a long time. When Bai Nana thought she would not get a reply, she suddenly said:

  “Everything.here.will.eventually.die.

  It’s.the.very.quintessence.of.our.fading.life.that.we.stop.waiting.and.keep.fighting.”

   Outside the screen, on the dining table, Ronaldo, who was enjoying himself, moved his ears, looked up at the compartment behind the screen, and then withdrew his complicated gaze, suddenly losing the desire to eat.
