Darkness is Coming

  On the sea several nautical miles away from Paradise Island, a large ship full of cargo broke through the waves and gradually approached.

   On the deck, Yang Xiaoqian, dressed in black, leaned against the railing, letting his smooth black hair flutter in the salty sea breeze.

   "It's been a long time." Yang Xiaoqian said to himself, "My hair has grown long, it's time to cut it down. I don't know what Dad is doing now, should I be worried?"

The original promised three or four days, but due to various accidents, it took nearly two weeks. The father Yang Yan who stayed on Paradise Island must be very anxious. Fortunately, Yang Xiaoqian told Wang Li and He Yu to take good care of his father Yang Yan. Don't worry about the unreliable and disobedient dad running out to find someone.

   "It is estimated that I will be trained when I go back, and I will definitely be nagging me." Even so, a happy smile appeared on Yang Xiaoqian's face.

   Not only the joy of returning to a safe place to reunite with the family, but also the satisfaction of the harvest from this trip.

   After the end of the World War I at Saint-Nair Church, Yang Xiaoqian and his party drove away the fire brigade material transport vehicle full of supplies from the parking lot next to a restaurant, and took two days to make a rune bracelet due to Qian, completing the final exchange.

   This trip, not only brought back a lot of weapons, supplies and intelligence, but also gained two Awakeneds, a team of elite soldiers, and even Wang Hai, who had no hope of being able to keep it, dragged a lame leg and returned to Paradise Island.

  Ning Siyu, the awakened girl brought by Geng Zhiping, followed Fang Yu, the senior she admired, and naturally chose to follow Yang Xiaoqian like Fang Yu.

   The reason why Fang Yu did not choose to stay in the 258 Brigade was not only because he wanted to give Ning Siyu and Heizi a better and safer living environment, but also because Yang Xiaoqian's proposal to him made him tempted.

   "What are you thinking?" Yu Qian's voice came from above.

  Yang Xiaoqian looked up and saw Yu Qian, who was sitting cross-legged on the flying sword, jumped from the air. He just returned to the boat after completing the investigation on Paradise Island. Since St. Nair's Church was shot by an unknown third party, Yang Xiaoqian was careful in everything. Even if he returned to his own territory, he had to let the most mobile Yu Qian investigate first.

   "Well, I didn't think about anything, I just stood here and played cool." Yang Xiaoqian stretched out his hand and stroked the bangs that were blown up by the sea breeze, showing his forehead, and jokingly said in a self-deprecating tone, "How about Paradise Island? There should be no problem, right?"

   "No problem." Yu Qian was so used to Yang Xiaoqian's temperament that he didn't even bother to roll his eyes, and continued, "I feel more and more that you have become a real leader, but I am a... how do you say it, wage earner?"

   "Where." Yang Xiaoqian could hear that Yu Qian was not dissatisfied, so he also joked, "Have you been calling on you recently, are you unhappy?"

   "That's not true, it's just that you have to be paid for part-time work."

   "Haha, then what kind of reward do you want? I don't have anything to pay for it."

Yu Qian thought for a while, and said with a serious face: "I just want to know why you can let Fang Yu and Ning Siyu be obedient to you. Since I am in charge of the Awakened, you should teach me how to be a qualified person. Leader. I am also an Awakened, and I have not absolutely suppressed their strength. How can I make them obey me?"

"How do you say this?" After Yang Xiaoqian organized the language in a few seconds, he put away his smiling face and said solemnly: "Any organization that wants to grow and last for a long time must have a consistent pursuit. Members of the organization can have their own entanglements of interests, but everyone must be consistent in the general direction, and this general direction must be in line with the interests and pursuits of most people. Think about it, if you build an awakened organization, you can find Is this the general direction?"

   Yu Qian shook his head in confusion, quietly waiting for Yang Xiaoqian's answer, but Yang Xiaoqian stopped talking.

   "I can't say a word or two right now." It didn't mean Qian asked again. Yang Xiaoqian waved his hand and said, "Let's talk slowly after landing."

   "Are you going to go back?" Yu Qian asked worriedly, of course he had reasons to worry, Yang Xiaoqian's strength is stronger than him now, and he was unanimously approved by Fang Yuning Siyu, Wang Hai and others. If Yang Xiaoqian went back and wanted to take the awakened people into the bag, he was powerless to object.

   "Don't worry, you are in charge of the Awakened's affairs, and your words count." Yang Xiaoqian hoped that her sincere response would dispel Yu Qian's doubts. Yang Xiaoqian knew in his heart that he would never go back on this point. Not only because of attaching importance to Yu Qian's feelings, but also because Yu Qian still has many secrets that he does not know. If at this time, he regrets for a few awakened people, causing Yu Qian to turn his face and leave, then he will really pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you all the arrangements immediately when I go back, you can rest assured. Now let's enjoy the joy of returning to our own territory." Yang Xiaoqian turned his eyes from Yu Qian's face to the direction of Paradise Island, "Tell Wang Hai to sail at full speed."

  ………………

   At the port, Yang Yan, Wang Li, He Yu, Zhang Xinyi, and a group of staff have lined up to welcome the island's owner, waiting for the return of the island's owner.

   "Did you come, why haven't you come yet?" Compared to Wang Li, who was so annoyed by various matters that were difficult to decide, Yang Yan seemed more hopeful and couldn't contain his anxiety.

   "It's coming soon." Wang Li held the maritime telescope and observed the sea back and forth, and finally found the ship, "I see! It's very close, it's coming soon."

   "How long?" Yang Yan circled around in place, walking around.

  Wang Li has never done maritime affairs, so he knows how long it will take, so he can only perfunctory.

   After a while, the black spot on the sea representing the ship gradually became larger, and the outline of the ship could be seen with the naked eye.

   "Huh?" Wang Li's subconscious voice made Yang Yan's heart rise again, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

   "It's fine." Wang Li shook his head, still puzzled. Through the binoculars, he could clearly see three trucks full of cargo wrapped in green canvas parked on the boat.

  But...there is no crane on Paradise Island? How do I get this car out? Do you drive directly? This is a truck, not an amphibious tank.

   Soon Wang Li's doubts were answered.

   When the ship was about to dock, four figures on the deck rose into the sky, one person and two hands and one point, the waves rolled up, and they saw a man and a woman walking on the waves, and they went ashore first.

While Yang Xiaoqian, who was stagnant in the air, bursts of black fog spread out towards the shore, and then condensed into a high bridge at sea. With the help of Yu Qian, three trucks drove on the bridge and went straight towards the shore at full speed. .

  The onlookers on the shore were all stunned when they saw such a spectacle.

   Finally, watching Yang Xiaoqian step down in mid-air, every step he took was a piece of black mist condensed into a step to support his spotless leather shoes, Wang Li inexplicably thought of the story he heard when he was a child: The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers.
