MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 29 Silent Ferry
The truck slowly stopped at the destination, and Yang Xiaoqian's story was coming to an end.
Of course, Yang Xiaoqian didn't really tell all the facts, the story Wang Hai heard was just a story, it was Yang Xiaoqian's processed artistic version. In Yang Xiaoqian's view, it is a taboo to talk in a simple and deep way. Except for explaining the situation with his father, he has to say one thing and two other things. When explaining the situation to others, he only selectively discloses information.
After all, the fundamental purpose of talking with the mercenary driver He Yu, the casino owner Wang Li, and the veteran Wang Hai is to keep them for their own use, so the version of the story told to them is slightly different.
Different from Yu Qian's concept of violent conquest, Yang Xiaoqian's idea is: the best reason to let others serve me is not the muzzle and bullets, but to make him feel that it is more in his own interest to do things for me honestly. No matter how strong the absolute power crushes and threatens them, they will give in and compromise in the face of death, but they will really use their milk-feeding energy to work one hundred and twenty percent to do what I need them to do. thing? Not necessarily, maybe there will be all kinds of plans in the dark that need to be guarded against. And what if making them understand that doing things for me is better for their safety and interests? Don't rush, they'll figure out how to get things done on their own.
"How is it?" Yang Xiaoqian asked Wang Hai with a smile.
Wang Hai smoked a cigarette and said in a muffled voice, "The American blockbuster has a visual sense."
"You still know such a trendy word as 'sense of sight'?"
Wang Haifei rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't a soldier a human, so you won't be allowed to visit Tieba Forum Alphabet Station? In terms of age, I'm five, six, seven or eight years older than you, and I'm not an antique."
"Then, what do you think?" Yang Xiaoqian is very confident in his storytelling ability, and the various hints and pros and cons analysis in the story should be enough for Wang Hai to stay.
But Wang Hai's response was unexpected: "I used to be a soldier, a soldier of the People's Guard."
The subtext of is obvious: the People's Protection Army should defend the people at a critical moment. Wang Hai still decided to join the 258th Brigade to participate in the battle.
Yang Xiaoqian did not give up fighting, and continued to persuade: "Whether you are a special forces soldier or a soldier king, it is difficult for one person to control the overall situation, the 258 brigade is not much more than you are, and the less you are not a lot, you can help if you stay in Paradise Island. more people."
Wang Hai still shook his head and said, "According to what you said, Paradise Island is very safe now, and there will be no major problems with you and Yu Qian. It is different in the city. Maybe what you said is true of the 258 Brigade. One more of me is not more than one of me, but if everyone who is capable of participating in the war thinks this way, how long can the 258 brigade fight alone? No matter what others think or say, I can’t use this excuse to escape.”
Yang Xiaoqian was in awe, this is the true hero, his own abacus to protect himself in order to develop and then save others is like the light of a firefly competing with the bright moon in front of Wang Hai's selfless splendor.
However, respect is respect, so politely sending Wang Hai to join the army to fight the corpse is obviously not in his own interests, so Yang Xiaoqian did not agree immediately, but continued to persuade in a different direction: "You are right, I support you to return to the army to protect the army. Home defends the country, but can you go later? At least you have to help me train a decent crossbow team first, otherwise we can't fully guarantee the safety of all the people on the paradise island with two or three big cats and kittens. It’s also the trading conditions that we agreed on before, you have to be trustworthy, right?”
Seeing Wang Hai's resolute expression loosening slightly, Yang Xiaoqian thought that he had a play, and continued to chase while the iron was hot: "Otherwise, you go to Paradise Island with me first, select people to train, teach them how to use guns and crossbows, and wait until Paradise Island. If you have enough guards, you will go back to the city to join the 258th Brigade, and you will not be the only one who will go there, as long as you are willing to follow you, you can take me away and I will never interfere."
"Also, in addition to the negotiated one million, I will add another one million to you, all in cash. Although the money in Yuanjiang is useless now, the dome will disappear one day, right? Yuanjiang's early stage of epidemic prevention and isolation work If you do it so well, there should be no major problems in the outside world. When the time comes, the large army will enter the city to clear the field and crush us to rescue us. These two million are enough for you to open a front door to do some serious business, such as opening an outdoor equipment store. , Survival in the wild is so hot now, you have experience and strength, are you afraid of bad life in the future?" When did the dome disappear? Is the money useful? God knows, but Yang Xiaoqian knew that he had to give Wang Hai more reasons to persuade him to stay. It happened that these words hit Wang Hai's heart and became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Okay." Wang Hai finally nodded and agreed.
finally agreed, Yang Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Thank you, let's get off the bus and prepare to take the ferry to Paradise Island."
Before getting off the car, Wang Hai asked again, "If someone is willing to come with me then, do you promise not to stop me?"
"As soon as the word is spoken, the horse will be hard to follow." Yang Xiaoqian vowed, but he had other ideas in his heart, thinking that when Paradise Island has enough time to subtly influence people's thoughts, not only will no one go with Wang Hai, but even Wang Hai will Leave.
Yu Qian and others who had already got off the bus were patrolling the surroundings, and Yang Xiaoqian Wanghai also looked at the ferry after getting off the bus.
Two or three ferries were parked at the other end of the dock, and dozens of cars of different models were parked in a mess on the shore, with broken windows and damaged bodies. The trolley selling non-staple food fell to the ground, and the barrels of instant noodles, the bagged chicken feet and spicy strips and the mineral water were scattered.
In the past, there were some, there were many, but no one was there. It was eerily quiet, except for the slight wind.
"Safe." Yang Yan nodded to the fearful Dr. Liang and Lin Liang's family.
"No." Yang Xiaoqian was the first to speak out against his father's conclusion, and then Yu Qian and Wang Hai also said, "There is a problem."
"It's not quite right, I just can't tell what's wrong." The casino owner Wang Li was not slow to respond.
Yang Xiaoqian pointed to the parked car, then pointed to the packaged food on the ground, and said, "We are not the only ones who can think of taking refuge on the island. It can be explained that the car is still there, and the boat is still there. Maybe they all can explain it. I took the ferry and fled. But why didn’t anyone take the food and drinking water in this place?”
"Maybe some of them are so panicked that they just want to run away, and they can't remember the more reserves of things like drinking water and food the better. But people who can run to the sea in such a short time are definitely not stupid, they really Is it possible that all of my IQs are off the assembly line and only care about running? That car has double flashes, and that car is full of luggage on the back seat. There is a problem here." After speaking, Yang Xiaoqian turned his attention to Yu Qian. Seek recognition.
Yu Qian shook his head and said, "I didn't expect so much, but it's just too quiet around here."
Yes, it's too quiet. Although most of the people were not under the pressure of food shortages on the first day of the disaster, so they chose to stay at home. It was probably made by zombies, but now, there is no sound from the entire ferry.
"All get in the car." If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. For safety's sake, Yang Xiaoqian chooses to return to the car carefully, but as soon as he said the words, he saw the dozens of empty cars and quickly changed his words, "No, don't get in the car."
Everyone froze in place, not knowing why.
