Arknights is too real, right?

The collection of Origin Stones was more complicated than Xia Feng imagined. In fact, the key was that he had no experience and professional tools. Coupled with the excessive blood loss, the whole process was almost hellish.

The scale of this natural disaster was not large, but there were a lot of Source Stone clusters that spawned. They simply could not discover all the Source Stone clusters hidden in the corners in a short time, and the number they could carry was limited, so they had to reluctantly throw away most of them. .

If this natural disaster had not occurred at such a delicate location on the border, it would have been impossible for the Source Stone to be obtained by outsiders. The domestic army would have taken over the place at all costs, and only after the clearance was completed would the collection professionals arrive.

It seems that a natural disaster can obtain a lot of Source Stones, but the consumption of Source Stones by a huge country is unimaginable, and these Source Stones will soon be scattered in various fields.

When Xia Feng and the others finally got it done, it was already noon.

Sitting back in the van, Xia Feng's face was covered with sweat, and he looked so weak that he looked like a dying person.

Nanfeng looked at him worriedly.

"How about we go to the hospital first? I'm afraid you'll die on the way back."

Xia Feng waved his hand feebly.

"No, let's go back to Kalan Town first."

The wound Tallulah inflicted on him was more serious than imagined. It seemed that it was no ordinary wound. The white power was at work, but it was not as obvious as before. This should be related to her sword.

Xia Feng knew that he would not die. Although it looked scary, it didn't matter as long as the bleeding stopped. The black and white twins were about to reach the 29th day. After one more day, he could be reborn.

The van returned the same way, and the sky gradually became dark.

Late at night, they finally returned to Kalan Town.

Because he had obtained a large number of Source Stone Clusters, Xia Feng made a prompt decision that they would not run away from this mission. He would temporarily give the Source Stone Clusters to Fredo in exchange for what he needed, but the box of more than 90 finished Source Stones The stone he wants to swallow.

Inside the tavern.

Xia Feng's face was still pale, but because his physical strength had recovered a lot, he no longer looked so weak.

Nan Feng sat next to him, and a familiar person sat opposite him.

"Give this knife back to you."

Xia Feng put the long knife on the table and pushed it in front of the person opposite.

This person is Hong Dao who came for the appointment.

The injuries on Hong Dao's body seemed to have been simply treated, but his expression was a little complicated at the moment. Apart from that, there was no Hesse member around him, only him.

Hong Dao took the knife, gently stroked the blade, and hung it back on his waist.

"Thanks."

"I should thank you. This knife really helped me."

"never mind."

Hong Dao's attitude was a little melancholy, as if he had seen through the world of mortals.

Xia Feng picked up the wine flask, poured a glass of wine for Hongdao, and pushed it in front of him.

"That. Dark Crow."

"died."

"Yeah."

Hong Dao smiled bitterly.

"This should be what you expected. Even if you don't take action, we will get our retribution. You should be happy that Dark Crow is dead."

Xia Feng looked at Hong Dao quietly.

"Do you really think so? Do you really think I'll be happy?"

Looking at Xia Feng's eyes, Hong Dao hesitated to speak.

"Feel sorry."

"It doesn't matter."

Dark Crow's death never gave Xia Feng the so-called pleasure of revenge. To be precise, he has no hatred. Everyone will die. For various reasons, Dark Crow's existence will soon be like a gust of wind. generally disappear from people's memory.

Xia Feng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then asked.

"Where are the rest of you Hessians, where's Big Bob?"

Hong Dao held the wine glass and sounded helpless.

"Hesse no longer exists."

"Really, this makes me very happy."

"you"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for you."

The tavern was quiet, with no other customers at all except them.

Xia Feng's long voice came out.

"Hesse is a twisted existence. I can understand your revenge mentality, because I once wanted to take revenge on someone, but the leadership of the Dark Crow is too extreme. This is a pathological development and a revenge of the same death. , I am not an afterthought, I have foreseen that Hesse will be destroyed within three years, but I did not expect it to be so fast."

Xia Feng had roughly guessed that without the intervention of him and the Origin Stone Beast, Tallulah might have encountered Heisen in the Natural Disaster Forest. Dark Crow was a leader, so he would not submit to Tallulah. However, Red Knife and Big Bob only want revenge. If the current leader dies, it goes without saying what they will do. Tallulah is right in front of them.

The Red Knife is another of Tallulah's chess pieces.

After listening to Xia Feng's words, Hong Dao looked a little irritable. He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

"boom!"

He placed the wine glass heavily on the table.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Dark Crow is dead and Heisen has been disbanded. The reason why I was willing to join Heisen was because I believed in Shuangyue's power. I felt that as long as she was here, I could definitely complete the revenge in my heart. However, since Shuangyue's death , I knew this day would come sooner or later, you are right, Dark Crow is too extreme, he is a person whose ideas and strength do not match at all."

After saying that, Hong Dao stood up from the table.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Dark Crow is dead. He tried his best, but he didn't get anything for the infected."

"Red knife."

"I'm leaving too. We may not meet again in the future."

"Where are you going?"

"I want to go back to Ursus, where the infected are most severely oppressed, and use my last life to avenge the Ursus people. Even if I am the only one who dares to resist, I will die soon if nothing happens. Bar."

Xia Feng looked at Hong Dao quietly.

"Are you really willing to die like this?"

Hong Dao's hand was placed on the handle of the knife at his waist, and he stood upright, like a twilight warrior.

"I have seen the world clearly. Death is not scary to me, but it is like a relief. There is nothing left in this world that is worthy of my nostalgia. All the beautiful things in the past have been shattered, and all that is left is Hatred.”

Xia Feng's calm voice came out.

"But you only live once."

When Hong Dao looked into Xia Feng's eyes, he saw a palm stretched out towards him.

"Red Knife, hatred will not fade away easily, but the lost beauty is not something that cannot be obtained again."

Hong Dao stared blankly at Xia Feng's hand stretched out to him.

"what do you mean?"

Xia Feng stood up and stretched out his hand in front of Hong Dao.

"People can live for killing and revenge, but they can also live for saving and protecting. In fact, the two are the same, both are selfish emotions. Maybe you don't know what you want to save now, and you don't know what else is there. What is worth protecting, but as long as you are alive, you will always find the answer."

Xia Feng smiled.

"If you are willing, my companions and I will guard you until you find this answer."

Hong Dao unconsciously took half a step back, and then shouted unwillingly.

"What do you know, protecting me? I once wanted to kill you, what do I have that is worthy of your protection?"

Xia Feng immediately approached Hong Dao and held his hand.

"Well, since you think so, then it's up to you to protect me."

"What!"

"Maybe you still don't understand the meaning of guardianship, but if you are willing to walk with me, I will let you understand that infected people and ordinary people can coexist, even if it is only in the microcosm of a society, even if it is only in a small In a small barbecue restaurant, trust and protection transcend status. Whether they are infected or ordinary people, they are all my companions."

"How about it, Hongdao, are you willing to give yourself a chance to re-examine the world?"

Hong Dao and Xia Feng looked at each other for a long time.

He saw no deception or exploitation in this young man's eyes, only infinite sincerity. What he said was true. The infected might really be able to coexist with ordinary people.

a long time.

A slight smile appeared on Hong Dao's gloomy and cold face.

"Okay, let me see what you are talking about."

"Welcome to Black Feather."

Nan Feng, who was sitting next to him, asked vaguely with a chicken leg in his mouth.

"Xia Feng, what is Black Feather?"

"Oh, by the way, you too, Nanfeng, welcome to Black Feather."

"Huh? I'm joining now?"

"Yeah."

Notting City.

Fredo Chamber of Commerce headquarters, in the luxurious office on the top floor.

"Bang~bang~bang~bang!"

Four oversized suitcases were photographed on Fredo's long desk.

When the suitcases were opened one by one by Xia Feng, there were four large boxes of crystal yellow objects that almost frightened Fredo to the ground. He opened the drawer as quickly as possible, took out a mask from it and put it on his face.

Xia Feng put his hands on the table and smiled at Fredo.

"Boss, I messed up your mission, so to compensate, I got these back."

The content of the four large boxes of Origin Stones is at least 6 or 7 times that of the previous small box of finished Origin Stones. Not only can it be processed into hundreds of S-grade to pure Origin Stones, it can also produce a large number of A-grade Origin Stones.

Fredo swallowed. He saw a special meaning in Xia Feng's eyes. At the same time, he was also frightened by the shocking wound on Xia Feng's neck.

"Where did you get it?"

"Natural disaster area."

"How did you do it?"

"Rob."

Xia Feng deliberately raised his neck. Affected by the range of movement, blood seeped out of the wound, which looked extremely scary.

He would give these Source Stones to Frido, which didn't matter, because sooner or later they were his, and these Source Stones were enough to exchange for Frido what he needed.

Before cutting off all the giant's claws, there was one claw that he couldn't lose under any circumstances, so he had to hold it firmly in his hand in advance.

"Boss, do you still remember what I said before? If I really get a lot of Origin Stones, what reward will you give me?"

Xia Feng's unabashed greed actually made Fredo feel at ease.

"what do you want?"

A confident smile flashed across Xia Feng's face.

"I don't want to be a thug anymore. Give me Happy City. I want to replace Richie."

Frido was a little surprised.

"Little Happy City? Xia Feng, if you can get so many Origin Stones in the future, I can give you more than Happy City."

Xia Feng insisted.

"Of course I can get more Source Stones for the Chamber of Commerce, but right now I just want Happy City."

"Why."

"Because the barbecue restaurant there tasted so good. I will never forget the taste. I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat for a day."
