Chapter 8 Survival of the fittest

"What a steel fortress. "www.biquge.info Yu Qian, who was sitting by the window, stretched his neck out, watching the huge metal manned device flowing through, and the skyscrapers on both sides of the road supported the sky like giants guarding the prosperous civilization.

"It's just looking majestic, but in fact, the defense is very poor, and you can still withstand an earthquake or something, and you have to be reimbursed for a missile." Yang Xiaoqian did his best to do the work of a guide, "Compared to the steel fortress, the name of the steel jungle is more appropriate. ”

"It looks like we can't have a base in a place like this." Yu Qian said with a little disappointment, the building with low defense was definitely not his choice, "Let's consider the wartime underground fortifications you mentioned earlier." ”

Yang Xiaoqian didn't answer, he looked at the people in the car and found a very strange thing.

There are cameras on the 302 ring bus, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Yang Xiaoqian put on masks to cover his faces before getting on the bus, he originally thought that this would attract unnecessary attention from people on the bus, but he didn't expect to find that everyone on the bus was wearing masks after getting on the bus.

This posture was only seen during the SARS period eight years ago, when Yang Xiaoqian was still a glorious Young Pioneer with a red scarf, and the only impression left of the major event that set off a wave of national fear was that the school had a long vacation for him to have a good time.

"Strange, I haven't heard of bird flu." Yang Xiaoqian muttered to himself, took out his new mobile phone and bought a traffic package, and began to go online to look through the relevant news on Tieba Weibo, and the first search popularity was the flu that broke out yesterday. "A new type of flu was found yesterday in Yuanjiang? Counting the time, I stayed indoors for nearly a day when the epidemic spread, and I didn't watch the news, so it's no wonder I didn't know anything about it. ”

Yu Qian noticed Yang Xiaoqian's abnormality, he didn't want Yang Xiaoqian to do anything that shouldn't be a small move, so he asked out loud, "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Xiaoqian shook his head and replied: "It's nothing, I saw that the people in the car were wearing masks, so I searched the Internet, and after the search, I realized that a new type of flu had appeared in Yuanjiang since yesterday, and it looked quite serious, and the infection rate and mortality rate were quite high, but fortunately I prepared a mask to go out." ”

After listening to this, Yu Qian kept staring at Yang Xiaoqian and did not speak.

"Hey, why are you staring at me so directly?" Yang Xiaoqian pretended to scratch goosebumps, "I thought the mask could cover my handsomeness, but I didn't expect ......" Before the words were finished, Yang Xiaoqian was stunned.

After two seconds, Yang Xiaoqian asked without a head: "Coming?" ”

Yu Qian nodded affirmatively.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiaoqian felt that his body had become lighter, and then his brain was a little dizzy, and then he heard his heartbeat suddenly speeding up and aggravating, "knock" "knock", "knock", the dull sound sounded in his left chest, and the stimulation that he had never had before spread throughout his body with the blood.

"There's nothing going on now, and you're so virtuous?" Yu Qian glanced at Yang Xiaoqian beside him disdainfully.

Yang Xiaoqian didn't smile bitterly, didn't touch his nose or scratch his hair, he was still trying to digest and accept the explosive news that "the apocalyptic disaster is really coming", which is likely to become a reality. His mind was blank, and he just blinked, and the first thing that came to mind was two kind faces.

"If I send my parents from the provincial capital, can you help me protect them?"

"Who knows, it doesn't matter if you don't drag me down, if you're useful to me - no one in the last days wants to carry a few worthless burdens, can you understand?" Yu Qian shrugged, he couldn't really do his best to protect Yang Xiaoqian's parents, but he didn't want to lose this extremely useful guide now, so he chose to respond like this, "But then again, since Yuanjiang is the place where the disaster occurred, isn't it more dangerous for them to come here?" Are you stupid? ”

Yang Xiaoqian nodded abruptly and said, "It seems to be right, then, then let's leave Yuanjiang immediately!" Go to the provincial capital, no, go to Shangjing, it's safest there. ”

Yu Qian frowned and shook his head. "Only in the place of disaster can there be a large number of Awakened who have opened the chains - these superpowers you call are the people I need, I need them! I'm going to stay, and you're going to stay. ”

Yang Xiaoqian understands that Yu Qian is not a selfless mother who sacrifices himself to save others, and the reason why he chooses to stay in Yuanjiang is very simple.

For ordinary people, what is the only superpower in the world? Heroes? No, it's an anomaly! It is an unacceptable and incomprehensible anomaly, Yu Qian is such an outlier now, destined to be rejected and suppressed both openly and secretly. But what if there are not only superpowers, but many of them?

Then the possibility of superpowers being accepted will be greatly increased, and it will not be easy to suppress even if there are a large number of capable people, right? With such a force, Yu Qian no longer needs to be afraid of being locked up and slicing experiments, and with such a force, he is qualified to speak and seek cooperation, and even to compose the rules of a new world.

The reason why Yu Qian chose to stay is very simple, he wants to have such power, in other words, he needs to accept his younger brother and play the basic game.

If Yang Xiaoqian was just a bystander, he would applaud Yu Qian's risky decision, which is the choice that a person with a sense of the big picture should make, this kind of person may become the shield of the earth, not a rat guarding rancid cheese and escaping in the gutter.

If this is a movie and Yu Qian is the protagonist, no matter what the ending is, Yang Xiaoqian will definitely hold up the popcorn in his hand and cheer loudly.

But this is not a movie, and Yang Xiaoqian is not a spectator, he is a participant.

And now it seems that his situation is not good, judging from Yu Qian's disdain for ordinary people everywhere, he is destined to pay attention to the awakened and ignore ordinary people, maybe those ordinary people who are about to die in the last days are useless and irrelevant people who don't need to bother to help, and Yang Xiaoqian is also an ordinary person now.

"Okay, I'll stay." Yang Xiaoqian used a lot of strength to stabilize his chaotic breathing, gritted his teeth and said, "Please tell me, how can I wake up?" ”

"Huh?"

"Only the strong can survive, I don't want to die."

"I don't know."

"Don't know?" Yang Xiaoqian raised his voice.

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "Maybe you will think that I am afraid that you will not be able to control it after you have the ability, so you choose to hide your secrets." But the truth is, I really don't know, and if I had a choice, I'd rather pick an Awoken teammate who opens the chains than a cumbersome guide who could die at any moment. ”

Yang Xiaoqian nodded in disappointment, he believed what Yu Qian said, because Yu Qian chose to take the risk of staying in order to find and gather the awakened, if he knew the systematic awakening method, why risk his life.

"Isn't there any clue?" Yang Xiaoqian still asked without giving up.

Yu Qian thought about it for a while, and began to answer sincerely: "Everyone has their own reasons and opportunities to open the chains. Some people are bloodthirsty and fond of fighting, and in battle they naturally awaken their abilities; Some people re-reason, sit and discuss, and in the midst of arguments, inspiration suddenly has their own power; Some people seek pleasure and discover their abilities through novelty...... I awakened the power of metal control because I hated the lab's robotic arm equipment, and as for you, I don't know. ”

After being silent for a long time, Yang Xiaoqian finally put down this idea for the time being, cheered up and began to continue the previous plan, before he was sure that the disaster was coming, he was just holding the plan to cooperate with Yu Qian to take revenge on Huang Han and find a chance to escape, looking like he was playing in the mountains and rivers, and now he realized the seriousness of the matter and put away his thoughts of having fun and being funny.

"After I call Huang Wenjing in a while, we will get out of the car, and I will ask him to send the money outside the tunnel of the Sanguansu, which is the most suitable place, and we will get the money as soon as possible to purchase the materials we need, and I will also notify my parents."

"Do what you have to do." Yu Qian nodded in agreement, "Also, your cowardly and stupid appearance just now is really too ugly, compared to the previous judgment." However, I also understand that it is normal for ordinary people like you, who were born in peacetime, to be difficult to accept this kind of news for a while, but I hope that when the disaster breaks out, you will not be like that. ”

Yang Xiaoqian nodded, reached out and touched his forehead, cold sweat was dripping in his palms and forehead, it turned out that his psychological quality was not as good as he imagined, no wonder he had planned well before tying Huang Han back at the critical moment but did not dare to start.

I have to change, I can't do this, Yang Xiaoqian secretly made up his mind to be tough, and only strong and resolute people can survive longer in a difficult environment.

Cataclysm is coming, survival of the fittest.
