Darkness is Coming

   On the last night of 2010, countless people outside the dome prayed for the distant river on New Year's Eve, candles spread all over the place, and thousands of lights were as bright as day.

  It’s a pity that the fire can’t reach the dome. From the outside world, Yuanjiang has been out of touch for too long. If there is no New Year’s Eve prayer that spreads all over the world as soon as it is called, many people will almost forget this city.

   Of course, all the people inside the dome can't see it, and can't think of it, only a few people can guess it.

As one of the few people, Yang Xiaoqian was walking alone on the beach, the moonlight was cold and blurred after passing through the dome, and he couldn't see the starry sky when he looked up, which was a little disappointing, but all of this did not affect Yang Xiaoqian's good mood, because these two days he Got so much good news.

   Just yesterday, Yu Qian brought Xiao Zhou and the two back to Jiangxin Island. As soon as their forefoot arrived, Hou Jie landed ashore with a large box of things. As expected, Qiu Zhe did not break his promise, and delivered the serum and enhanced medicine within two weeks.

   Before using the serum, it was inevitable to do an experiment. This time, there was no random selection. All the death row prisoners who acted as coolies in the construction team were brought back to receive the serum injection. Of course, before injecting the serum, each of them let the zombies take a bite, and the timid ones were so frightened that they were incontinent, feces and urine flowed together, and even the staff of the Far Rescue Society who presided over the experiment could not stand it, but Yang Xiaoqian did not soften at all. Order to continue the experiment.

A total of 11 people have received the serum injection this time. So far, none of them have become zombies or have symptoms. The observation experiment will continue for the next 72 hours, but now it is basically confirmed that the serum is effective. sex.

Hou Jie brought not only 200 serums, but also 200 boosters. After the serum test, Yang Xiaoqian randomly selected 11 boosters to inject into the poor executed prisoners. compensate".

   The truth is that Yang Xiaoqian is suspicious and thinks that there were no side effects in the last booster, which does not mean that the batch sent by Hou Jie this time has no problems. What if Qiu Zhe did something in it? Considering that Qiu Zhe still needs the help of the Yuanjiao Association in the future, this is unlikely. But what if there is something wrong with this batch of medicines? Yang Xiaoqian did not dare to use it directly, so he could only experiment with these executed prisoners.

   After the experiment, there were 189 serums and 189 boosters left, and Yang Xiaoqian quickly set a distribution plan.

First of all, all the awakened people in the Far Rescue Association have a total of 24 people. The three teams of Dawn, Judgment, and Hope will each take five, the heavy cavalry battalion will take thirty, and the male barracks formed and trained on Paradise Island will take one. Hundred sticks, and then send ten sticks each to Fort No. 1 and the front finger of the corpse.

After Liu Yuanzhou receives the serum, he will definitely transfer a few to Jiang Haichao. With the current energy of Xinyuanjiang, with the serum samples, he can quickly produce the serum in large quantities, but it is to strengthen the medicine. , can only be purchased or exchanged from Qiu Zhe.

The distribution of these more than 100 strengthening potions needs to consider other factors. In addition to leaving one for each member of Dawning, Judgment, Hope and Heavy Cavalry Battalion, Yang Xiaoqian decided to send the remaining potions to No. 1 Fortress and sell them to corpse hunter.

  The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, whichever side is reluctant to treat them badly, and can only be distributed according to needs. For the male barracks fighting in groups, the combat capability of individual soldiers is important, but it does not determine life and death. For the knights in the heavy cavalry camp, and the corpse hunters who are fighting all day long in the front line of fighting corpses and hunting zombies in the grey and black domains, a shot of booster may help them cross the line of death and stay alive. return.

   Hou Jie's serums and boosters aren't the only good news.

   This morning, as soon as the team that went to Qianzhi to deliver the serum set off, a team of soldiers from Qianzhi came to Jiangxin Island with a message from Liu Yuanzhou, a pile of documents, and a dagger.

As soon as the words "Rune Weapon" were spoken, the green light went from the coast guard at the port to the president's office. Yang Xiaoqian pushed aside everything on the schedule, and immediately met the visiting team from the front finger, and got the message from the messenger. Three good news.

  1: In front of the corpse, he is willing to send troops together with Yuanjiaohui to recover the gray and black areas.

  2: Liu Yuanzhou is willing to cooperate with Yang Xiaoqian to form the Council of the Awakened.

  3: The rune research team led by Dai Xin, a professor of semiotics, successfully developed a rune weapon.

   What made Yang Xiaoqian most gratified was the rune dagger sent by the messenger. Whether it is to recover the lost ground or form the Awakened Council, it is in Liu Yuanzhou's personal interests, and it is not surprising that he agrees.

However, after Dai Xin and others developed the rune weapon, Liu Yuanzhou was able to package all the relevant materials as soon as possible, and attached a rune dagger to the Far Rescue Association. It is impossible for Liu Yuanzhou to fail to see the strategic significance. He can completely hide this secret in his own hands and obtain benefits from the Yuanjiao Association, but he directly offers it with both hands without asking for anything in return. This made Yang Xiaoqian feel that he had a reliable ally for the first time, and his previous trust in Liu Yuanzhou was not in vain.

   After trying the rune dagger, Yang Xiaoqian was even more overjoyed, and even ordered Hao Ren to cook a table of good dishes and entertain several front finger warriors who brought materials and daggers.

   Hao Ren is not a good person. Although his awakening ability is related to cooking and has no fighting power, he is an awakened person no matter what. Yang Xiaoqian always respects him to a certain extent and does not treat him as a personal chef. This is the first time Yang Xiaoqian has ordered him to cook, which shows that Yang Xiaoqian is excited.

A banquet lasted after eight o'clock, and the soldiers on the front finger were not drinking, but Yang Xiaoqian himself frequently raised his glass. Thinking about the news he received in the past two days, he was in a really good mood, so he naturally wanted to use wine to cheer him up. .

  After the dinner, Yang Xiaoqian asked people to pack two cold dishes that had not been touched much, picked up the unopened old cellar on the table, and walked to the beach.

   When he was about to walk to the wooden house, Yang Xiaoqian turned his head and saw that the moonlight was cold and shone on the beach, reflecting a long series of footprints.

   Walking on the beach is really a step by step.

  Recalling the past seven months, from a student who dared to plan murder but did not dare to do it, and was frightened by the sight of zombies, to the overlord who now oppresses thousands of people across the river, Yang Xiaoqian suddenly laughed out loud.

   "One step at a time, indeed, just one step at a time."

   Inexplicably said something strange that he didn't quite understand. Yang Xiaoqian shrugged and shouted at the wooden house in front of him: "Yu Qian, come out for a drink!"

   There was no response from the wooden house, and Yang Xiaoqian's shouts did not echo on the empty coast, and the surroundings were deserted, like the faint moonlight above his head.

   Yang Xiaoqian knew that Yu Qian was in the wooden house. Seeing that he ignored him, he went straight to the wooden house and reached out to push the door.

   Yang Xiaoqian was stunned by the sight in the door.
