Darkness is Coming

Chapter 68: Professor of Semiotics

   "Then what do we do now? Leave them alone and take Fangyu to grab a helicopter back to Paradise Island?" Yu Qian's perception of Liu Yuanzhou was so bad that even Xu and Weishe's patience was exhausted.

"Isn't this a direct break? People know that we are in Paradise Island, so we can't leave Paradise Island for this matter and give up the overall plan, right?" Yang Xiaoqian sighed slightly, "Anyway, it's better to help him kill the mutant, and help him remove the tumor. After all, it's all the same thing."

  This is of course not the same thing, otherwise Liu Yuanzhou wouldn't have to go through such a big trouble, but Yang Xiaoqian couldn't tell Yu Qian the subtleties, otherwise Yu Qian would be stubborn and a few cows wouldn't be able to pull it.

   If possible, Yang Xiaoqian would only keep the conclusions drawn in his heart and would not tell Yu Qian at all.

But first of all Yu Qian is someone Yang Xiaoqian is willing to trust now, and secondly, the founder and Pope of Evolution Sect is obviously an awakener. Since Yu Qian's temperament was willing to let go of the murderer Xiao Guang who was full of evil last time, he might let him off this time. The leader of a cannibal cult. Yang Xiaoqian must convince Yu Qian before encountering a battle.

"This is a deal, we help him do the dirty things he can't do and don't want to do, and in return he provides us with everything we need and supports our development." Yang Xiaoqian said, "So, the awakened people in the evolutionary religion , whether to kill or stay, it is up to him to decide, can you accept it?"

   "Of course not! Why should he decide?"

  Yang Xiaoqian is fortunate that he had thought of Yu Qian's reaction in advance. If there is no such dialogue, if he directly encounters the awakened person of the other party, Yu Qian's temper will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"Because we are asking him now. Of course we can do what he wants and not do what he wants, then what? Will he do his best to help us if he is not satisfied? Will he provide us with supplies to help us search for the Awakened? And we The crossbow team and Fang Yu's friends are still staying in the front finger as hostages. We have torn our face with Liu Yuanzhou, can we keep Fang Yu? In this way, even if there is one or two awakened people in the evolutionary gods who are subdued by you, We are still so lost that we can't find the North!"

   "Then maybe there are five or six or even a dozen awakened people in the evolutionary religion!" Yu Qian raised his head and said unconvinced.

   Not to mention that it is not probabilistically possible, if there are really a large number of awakened people in the evolutionary religion, why do they subdue others? I'm afraid they won't be able to beat them, so they have to run away with their tails between their legs.

Seeing Yu Qian's blushing cheeks, Yang Xiaoqian knew that this was a sign of his anger and anger, and quickly persuaded: "Don't get excited, Liu Yuanzhou will definitely not allow cults to appear in his own territory, but he may not ask you to kill the Awakened. Ah, besides, most religious people are fanatical, and they are more likely to fight to the end with you than to surrender to you."

   "Well. What you said makes sense." Yu Qian's face was still not good-looking, but he didn't say more, turned and left the pavilion.

  Yang Xiaoqian had a severe headache. He pressed his temples and rubbed it. He turned on the walkie-talkie and asked someone to bring a fat man named Dikun. Since he wanted to help Liu Yuanzhou clean up the evolutionary religion, of course he had to learn more about it first. If you don't even know what kind of person your opponent is, just rush forward with a passionate cry of "don't be a coward, just do it", it's just joking with your own life.

  …………

   "Professor Dai, here we are."

At the same time as the leader spoke, a large plume of smoke sprayed on Dai Xin's face along with his words, which made Dai Xin feel almost uncontrollable anger. As a professor at 985 University, although he opened a major that few people in China are interested in. Although Dai Xin has a certain social status after all, why was he treated like this before the disaster?

   "Okay, thank you Captain Geng." Although his heart was burning with anger, Dai Xin didn't dare to show the slightest expression on his face. Today is different from the past, and the dignity of scholars has become increasingly low in front of guns and food.

   If he was single in the past, Dai Xin would have refused the invitation long ago, and sprayed the four characters "I will not accompany you" on Geng Zhiping's face. But now there are old and young, and the outside is full of zombies and viruses. Dai Xin can't let his wife and children suffer for his own sake.

   Geng Zhiping pointed to the tent curtain and said, "Do you ask first?"

  Dai Xin coughed dryly, without politeness, opened the curtain and walked in first, Geng Zhiping followed closely behind him into the tent.

   A young man in his thirties is sitting in front of the simple and elegant modular desk. He is writing down something, but looking at the font he wrote, it does not belong to any existing script that Dai Xin knows.

  Dai Xin dare not despise the young man in front of him because he is older, he knows that this person now holds the power to dominate the life and death of others. On the bright side, Liu Yuanzhou was just a small staff member independent of the 258 Brigade, but in fact everyone could see that Brigadier Zhao valued and trusted him. When the reclaimed urban area is rebuilt in the future, the new rules must be written by this young man.

   "Professor Dai is here." Liu Yuanzhou didn't put on airs. After recording a paragraph, he immediately got up to greet him, and personally took out a stool and placed it behind Dai Xin, "Thank you for making this trip."

   "No, no, no hard work." Dai Xin was not polite, sat down, glanced at Geng Zhiping who was standing behind him, and showed a smug smile.

   "Professor Dai, time is tight, so I asked you to come here without notifying you in advance. I won't be polite to you. I asked you to come this time because I need your help." Liu Yuanzhou apologized and went straight to the topic.

   "I would like to hear the details." Dai Xin sat up straight, the time has come to reflect his intellectual value!

   Liu Yuanzhou turned back to the desk, took out two silver bracelets, handed them to Dai Xin, and asked, "Professor Dai, can you see the origin and difference between these two bracelets?"

  Dai Xin took the bracelet, compared it left and right, put down one of the bracelets, held the other one for a closer look, and then switched to the bracelet that was just put down to observe carefully, and so on.

A few minutes later, Dai Xin looked sullen and said: "This kind of silver jewelry is usually more common in the Yunnan-Guizhou area, where many ethnic minorities wear various jewelry made of silver, including bracelets. It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that silver It has the effects of calming the five internal organs, reassuring the mind, stopping panic attacks, and removing evil qi. From the perspective of modern medicine, silver can sterilize and detoxify. There are many people who believe that wearing silver jewelry can help you maintain health and prolong life..."

   It can be heard from Dai Xin's uncertain tone that he himself understands that this is not what Liu Yuanzhou wants to hear.

"Well, Professor Dai, please take a look at the rune above, can you recognize it?" After Liu Yuanzhou interrupted Dai Xin, he added another question, "Do you think there is any difference between these two bracelets? "

Dai Xin blushed, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Staff Liu, I'm not very knowledgeable and can't tell. If I can get in touch with my old friend in the United States, maybe he can give me some advice, he is a semiotics leader in research."

   "As for the difference..." Dai Xin shook his head again, "In my opinion, there is no difference between the two bracelets."

   "Counselor Liu, what is the mystery of this bracelet, tell me, maybe I can be inspired by reference." Dai Xin couldn't hold back his curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and asked.

  Liu Yuanzhou didn't intend to deceive him, he took out a few nuclei-like objects, put them in the depression of the bracelet, and handed them back to Dai Xin, who nodded to Dai Xin and said, "Try to wear it."

  Dai Xin did as he was told, but nothing changed after putting on the bracelet.

   "Take off the thing I just inlaid and put it on another bracelet to try."

   Dai Xin took great pains to use his index finger without fingernails to pull out the crystal nucleus and put it into another bracelet.

   "Uh, Staff Officer Liu?" After wearing it, there was still no change, and Dai Xin couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

   "You jump, or lift something heavy."

  Dai Xin thought that Liu Yuanzhou was joking. He was about to retire, how could he jump and lift weights like a young man, and if he was not careful, he would be injured and hospitalized. But looking at Liu Yuanzhou's serious expression really didn't look like a joke, so Dai Xin had to try something hesitantly.

   Something incredible happened.

  Dai Xin never thought that a person in his fifties could easily jump seventy or eighty centimeters in place. What kind of concept is this? The same is true of the school basketball team players he saw when he went to study in the United States when he was young.

   "What, what is this?" His body was full of energy, and Dai Xin regained his youthful feeling again. His face was flushed with excitement and his eyes were bloodshot.

"This is the purpose of my invitation. I hope you can find a suitable group of people to study and decipher this bracelet and the runes on it, and see if they can find a way to mass-produce it. Professor Dai, Do you understand the significance of it?" Liu Yuanzhou was extremely solemn.

   "Understood, I understand!" How could Dai Xin not see the great value of this bracelet, he nodded again and again, his head was dizzy due to the violent shaking and sudden excitement.

"Then please, by the way, don't disclose this matter to the outside world except for the researchers." Liu Yuanzhou bowed his head in thanks, and then said lightly, "I will ask Geng team to take over your family in a while, you have a great responsibility, I have to make sure they are in the best possible care."

  Dai Xin's expression froze, and then he nodded: "As it should be, I will make a list and I will try my best to analyze the results as soon as possible."

   "Okay, thank you for your hard work, you can go." Liu Yuanzhou ordered the expulsion.

   After Geng Zhiping took Dai Xin away, Liu Yuanzhou stood alone for a while, and then sat down on the chair Dai Xin had just sat on.

The    chain appeared, and the stars in Liu Yuanzhou's eyes flowed, as if a string of number symbols flew by like a meteor shower.
