Darkness is Coming

   A small steamship sailed straight towards Jiangxin Island, and the ships that met along the way slowed down.

Qiu Zhe stood on the deck, holding the guardrail with both hands, facing Jiangxin Island with the salty sea breeze blowing in his face. Hou Jie and No. 3 stood on either side of him. There is a loop of needle and thread on it, and it seems that he had undergone head surgery not long ago.

  Fang Yu spent most of the time on this strange person. It is said that he was the first person in the underground laboratory to successfully perform brain enhancement. It seemed that there was no problem, but for some reason Fang Yu always felt something was wrong.

  Because that person was clearly the executed prisoner who Qiu Zhe had exchanged from the Far Rescue Society with the strengthening potion and serum before, why did he suddenly become Qiu Zhe's experimental subject and successfully strengthen his brain in such a short period of time?

  Fang Yu doesn't have much scientific knowledge, but he also knows that the human brain is the most sophisticated part of the human body. He doesn't think things are really as Qiu Zhe said. But it doesn't matter, these things don't need him to worry about.

   "The signal is too poor. My signal connection with Mr. Qiu has been cut off." Qiu Zhe, who had his back to Fang Yu, suddenly turned around, took off his glasses, and said with a smile, "Captain Fang, how long until you arrive?"

"It will take about 30 minutes to land." Fang Yu looked away, pondered for a while, and said, "Before going ashore, I will notify the island by radio and let them arrange a technical team to come over and see if they can try to help you. Reconnect to the lab's signal."

"No need." Qiu Zhe took out his hand from his iconic white coat and waved it twice, "Mr. Qiu has authorized me to represent the negotiation with full authority. From now on, I will represent Mr. Qiu, and what I say is what he said."

  As you please. Fang Yu shrugged, and although he didn't speak, his body language clearly expressed what he had in mind.

   After more than 20 minutes, the ship docked.

  The girl in the quarantine team who was on the shore saw the ship with the Dawning flag approaching, turned around and ran into the lounge.

   "Team Leader, Team Leader!"

   Lying on the single bed, He Yan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the person who woke him up with bloodshot eyes, a girl with a ponytail and some freckles on her face.

   "Lulu, what's wrong?" He Yan scratched his chin full of stubble and said helplessly, "You young people have such good energy."

"Of course." Lulu pushed He Yan with a proud expression of youth and pride, "Leader, wake up soon, Captain Fang of Dawn is back, I heard that he is escorting important people back, what is it? Who is it? Team leader, you must know if it's right, just tell me, tell me!"

   "Don't make trouble, go and make steamed buns!"

   "No, no, tell me!" Lulu, like a coquettish little girl, took He Yan's arm and swung it around.

   "Lulu, don't make trouble, let go of the team leader and go steaming steamed buns with me." A slim figure walked into the restroom of the quarantine team, which made He Yan heave a sigh of relief, as if receiving an amnesty.

   "Nana, let this dead girl, Lulu, let me go." He Yan said in a distressed tone, "Our quarantine team is an important department, and this girl is always eccentric and has a bad attitude."

Bai Nana covered her mouth with her hand and smiled softly before she straightened her face and scolded in a low voice, "Lulu, let go of the team leader soon! Be serious about your work, and you need to separate occasions when joking, you know. !"

   "Oh." Lulu let go angrily, pouted and said, "I know Sister Nana."

   He Yan was amazed at the side, the ratio of males to females on Jiangxin Island was imbalanced, especially the quarantine team who was guarding the ferry 24 hours a day. The ratio of males to females was as high as ten to one, and there were only two women. The male team members, including He Yan, were extremely tolerant and caring to the two women, especially the young and lovely Lulu. Even He Yan couldn't do anything about her. As a result, among the twenty-odd people in the quarantine group, only Bai Nana, who was also female and older, could make Lulu obedient.

   "Okay, you two go to steam the steamed buns, I'll change my clothes and go over." He Yan smiled at Bai Nana, raised his arms and sniffed his armpits without much regard for his image, it was alright, not too smelly.

  The quarantine group will work in three shifts, and each group will be responsible for eight hours. However, it has been notified earlier that the people brought back by Dawning this time must check carefully.

   When Bai Nana and Wen Lu came to the shore with steaming hot steamed buns, the quarantine team had completed the quarantine work. He Yan smiled and waved at Bai Nana and Wen Lu, motioning them to bring the buns.

  Dawn's team members were already familiar with this rule of not becoming, and they didn't ask much. One person grabbed a steamed bun and swallowed it in three or two bites. Hou Jie had been to Jiangxin Island once before, so he naturally knew what it meant. After whispering a few words to Qiu Zhe and No. 3, he took the lead in grabbing a steamed bun and eating it. He had missed this steamed bun for a long time.

  The lively Wen Lu walked up to Qiu Zhe generously, handed out a steamed bun, and said, "Welcome home."

Qiu Zhe nodded with a smile, and was about to reach out to pick it up when No. 3, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and stopped Wen Lu's hand. Then No. 3 took out a sealed bag and took out a pair of thin disposable He put on the gloves, then took the steamed bun that Wen Lu handed to Qiu Zhe, tore it into a dozen small pieces, put them back on the plate that Wen Lu was holding, and then randomly took three pieces from it and threw them into his mouth, barely chewing. swallowed.

   After a few seconds, No. 3 nodded to Qiu Zhe, indicating that the steamed buns are fine and can be eaten with confidence.

  Wen Lu rolled her eyes and thought to herself, could it be possible that I will save you from afar and poison you all? Besides, even if you want to poison it, you don't necessarily have to use a potent poison that has immediate effect, right? With your test method, what can you try? It really turns the brain into a muscle.

Qiu Zhe put a small piece of steamed bun in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and then praised, "I never imagined that a small piece of steamed bun could be so delicious." Lu didn't force it, anyway, as long as he can eat normally to prove that he is not a mutant, he doesn't have to force him to finish a steamed bun.

   On the other side, Bai Nana also held a plate and gently placed a steamed bun in Fang Yu's hand, then walked up to the man with a circle of needles and thread on his head, handed out a steamed bun, and smiled, "Welcome home."

   The man kept his head down, and only then did he raise his head and smiled gently at Bai Nana: "Thank you."

"what!"

   Fang Yu and He Yan who were talking to Qiu Zhe suddenly heard an exclamation and turned to look. The tray containing the steamed buns fell to the ground, Bai Nana's empty hands were hanging in the air, trembling slightly.
