Darkness is Coming

   "What's your name?" Yang Xiaoqian sat in the passenger seat and glanced at the driver who was holding the steering wheel. He had already taken off his hood. He looked about thirty years old, and his face full of cold sweat looked a little fat.

"He Yu, my name is He Yu." He Yu stretched out his gloved right hand and wiped the corners of his forehead and eyes, "A native of China, I heard that some people were recruiting foreign workers seven or eight years ago, and finally saved enough money to pay the security deposit. But I found out that I was tricked into going to Libya to do hard labor, and later..."

   "Okay, don't talk nonsense if no one asks you." Yu Qian's impatient voice came from the back seat, interrupting He Yu.

  Yang Xiaoqian turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Yu Qian's brows wrinkled and his face bitter. After thinking about it, he understood that Yu Qian must be suffering from motion sickness. Judging from his sallow skin and thin appearance, I think that most of the time, I can't get enough to eat. Yesterday, I ate too much for one night. Sitting in the window seat on the bus was fine. I would definitely get motion sickness when I got into a commercial car with a leather smell.

   "Open the back seat window, open it slowly, open it steadily and don't shake it too much." Yang Xiaoqian said to He Yu.

  Yu Qian stopped him: "No, hurry up, hurry up. Also, Yang Xiaoqian, where are we going next?"

"Let He Yu take us to get the gun first. If the police have already arrived there, you can use the ability of metal control to steal it. On the way, we made phone calls to purchase various materials, while determining the type of crisis and then deciding on the location of the temporary base. , must be fast! When the city government reacts, in order to avoid public panic and soaring prices, it will definitely ban the hoarding of supplies, and our plans will be completely disrupted. Oh, by the way, we have to go back to the apartment first. , Huang Han hasn't dealt with it yet." Yang Xiaoqian has already crossed that hurdle, and now there is no pressure to go back and start extermination.

   Although Yu Qian thought this was unnecessary, he did not speak out against it. It was the right choice to leave no trouble if time allowed.

"Next, Mr. He, I want to tell you something, prepare yourself mentally." Since He Yudu will be a member of his team for a period of time in the future, Yang Xiaoqian thinks it is necessary to let him know about the current situation. There is a certain understanding of the situation.

   "Stop!" Yu Qian suddenly shouted when Yang Xiaoqian explained in detail.

  The Ford van slammed to the side and stopped.

   "What's wrong?" Yang Xiaoqian asked.

   "There are screams, and they are full of sounds!" Yu Qian opened the car door and looked at the direction where the screams came from, "Not good! Disaster is coming!"

   Yang Xiaoqian was startled, as if there was an electric current running through his back, he immediately jumped out of the car and looked out... and saw nothing.

   "It's a mechanical body! Metal giant!" Yu Qian murmured, "It's terrible, it's terrible, it's hard for me to control such a large monster even if it is made of all metal."

   Yang Xiaoqian is a little confused, where are the monsters? He didn't see anything!

"They started to eat people. Those people were caught and thrown into the sky and into the belly of monsters. They were all screaming." Yu Qian was still talking to himself, "It's strange, why don't those people run away, why are they going to the belly? The monster is rushing? I didn't expect the ordinary people here to be so brave, but why are the people around them laughing?"

It does not make sense? Yang Xiaoqian felt inexplicable. He looked around, but still couldn't find the so-called metal monster. When he glanced at Baiyun Park, he stopped.

   "Is the monster you're talking about there?" Yang Xiaoqian pointed in the direction of Baiyun Park.

   "That's right."

   "Oh." Yang Xiaoqian nodded, turned and got into the car, "Let's go, that's not a monster."

  In Baiyun Park, there is the largest amusement park in Yuanjiang City: Happy World, which has many amusement facilities such as: roller coaster, big pendulum, hurricane flying chair, spinning wheel and so on.

  People get stuck in their seats and fly around, screaming is a must, laughter is a must.

   "It's not a monster, what is that?"

  Yang Xiaoqian looked embarrassed and was trying to explain how to explain it, when a shrill voice rose from the sky, resounding through the Yuanjiang River.

The    beep sounded continuously for 36 seconds, then stopped for 24 seconds, and then sounded again...for three consecutive cycles.

Air defense alert!

   "What is this?" Yu Qian asked

   "Air Defense Alert." Yang Xiaoqian looked solemn and asked the driver He Yu, "Boom for 36 seconds and stop for 24 seconds, what does this mean?"

   "An early warning indicates that the enemy's attack is coming, and people are required to be evacuated." He Yu, who was a mercenary, replied without hesitation. He knew that this time it was a big deal.

   "Have you started yet?" Yang Xiaoqian whispered to himself.

   "Get in the car, we have to hurry up." Yang Xiaoqian greeted, He Yu drove forward at full speed, and the careful thought of looking for an opportunity to slip away has also been put away.

  …………

   In the sound of air defense sirens, one block after another was built in an orderly manner.

At the Yuanjiang toll station on the Yuangui Expressway, teams of heavily armed People's Guard soldiers blocked the road, waiting for the passing vehicles to form a long queue. The drivers honked their horns in dissatisfaction to protest, and the Yuangui Expressway honked their horns. The sound was one piece, but it was useless, and no vehicles were allowed to pass. Brother A Bing's face was as cold as a steamed bun that had been frozen for dozens of days in winter.

"Do you TM know who I am!" A young man dressed in bright clothes and smelled of alcohol got out of his luxury car, pointed at a soldier who stopped him and scolded, the shiny Vacheron Constantin on his wrist was eye-catching, "You don't Let me pass? Do you believe that Lao Tzu TM will kill you now? I told you that Lao Tzu's uncle is the deputy director of the Yuanjiang Municipal Bureau, and he has an iron relationship with the military division. Now, if you are sensible, pull up the guardrail and let me out. Otherwise, I will kill you and you will die in vain!"

   The young soldier's gaze was firm and unmoved.

"I'm grass? Are you a bully?" The ignored young man raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and slapped him in the face, but halfway through, he was hit by another steady and calloused man. The big hand stopped.

  The owner of the big hand is a lieutenant in a camouflage combat uniform with a bar and two stars on the epaulette. He clenched the young man's wrist tightly, his stern gaze made one's heart tremble.

   "Oh. It's a dime, what the hell, I have to go today!" The young man was still arrogant.

   With a loud slap in the face, the young man was beaten in a circle and fell to the ground, covering his face with an expression of disbelief, "You hit me? How dare you hit me!"

The Lieutenant    responded directly. He took out a Type 92 from the holster on his right waist, loaded it, and fired.

  The bullet hit the young man's feet, causing him to scream and almost jump from the ground. He died completely and didn't dare to say a word, but his eyes were still malicious and sinister.

"Extraordinary times, extraordinary means." The lieutenant roared as loud as a loudspeaker, "We must resolutely implement the death order of the superior, and no vehicle without a pass shall be allowed! For those who obstruct the execution of the order and intend to undermine the interests of the country. The elements must be dealt with seriously!" Then the lieutenant pointed at the young man, as if he was pointing at a dead dog, "Drag away." Two soldiers stepped forward, one of them stuck one arm and kicked the struggling young man with both feet. People go straight away.

   "What happened? A shot was fired." The drivers blocked at the expressway stopped honking their horns and rolled down their windows to look around, trying to find some news from the equally confused expressions of others.

   "Could it be that something major happened? Hurry up and check it online."

   "Hey, my mobile phone can't access the Internet, what's the situation?" "Me too... I don't have any network signal on my mobile phone."

   "What the hell, the road was blocked without even being notified in advance. Now that it's blocked like this, I can't go back."

The roar of the "humming" wings came from overhead, and the drivers who were talking about all looked up, and one after another armed helicopters roared overhead in a flight formation, coming and going quickly, for a short while. It disappeared, leaving only the dark clouds in the sky.

  …………

  Nanyan District, which is the old city. The road at the entrance of the power supply bureau has been blocked for almost two hours. Dozens of aunts and aunts hold hands to form a wall of people blocking the road. No matter how coordinated the police next to them or the drivers cursed, they would not let the road go.

"Are all the people in the power supply bureau shrinking their heads tortoises!" the leading aunts shouted, and the road was made like a vegetable market, "Our alley has been out of power for a few days, do you want people to live! Using this method to force us to accept the demolition, let me tell you, there is no way! If the power is not restored for a minute, we will not leave for a minute!"

   "Aunt, you are illegal! You have to pay criminal responsibility!" The policeman persuaded hard, "The staff of the power supply bureau said that it is a wiring problem, and it is already being repaired. You must get out of the way!"

   "No! We don't have electricity, so don't think about this way! If you think about this way, just run over us!"

"Damn it." The police officer, Wang, on the side, lit a cigarette and sucked hard, "It just happened to be a big event, and the city bureau people couldn't come. How long will this road be blocked, and the bonus will be deducted." He didn't mean it either. He knew this kind of thing, so he didn't try to reason with the aunts and aunts. He looked impatiently at the road into the distance. Suddenly, Lao Wang opened his mouth like he was struck by lightning, and the cheap cigarette fell to the ground.

  The traffic jammed on the road all leaned towards the sides like crazy, and even squeezed onto the sidewalk. The drivers tried their best to free the center of the road, but the ones rushing out from behind turned out to be…

  Wacky car, huge, towering body with steel armor all over it, wheels similar to heavy trucks, and shooting holes in the windows on both sides. Seeing that the road ahead was still blocked, there was a clatter from the top of the armored vehicle, the hatch was opened, and a soldier in a combat uniform pulled the green canvas to reveal the 12.7mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun below.

  The aunts quickly dissipated with a strange cry, and ran away all the way in a chaotic manner like frightened birds.

  The armored vehicle continued to move forward, followed by a giant steel beast: a long barrel, a thick metallic color, a harsh roar to cover up the overwhelmed groan of the road, and the asphalt road with no glue on the track. Potholes.

  Tanks are in town!

  Similar situations are also being staged in various places in Yuanjiang City, only more chaotic. Railway stations, subway stations, and airports were also blocked and quarantined, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The trains and flights that were about to start were urgently stopped, and the dissatisfied protests of the masses were negligible at gunpoint.

At 11:40 on July 12, 2010, Yuanjiang was designated as a no-fly area and entered into a state of first-level combat readiness. Traffic and communications were completely blocked, and almost all contact with the outside world was cut off. Rumors spread, and millions of people who did not know the truth were panicked. .
