Arknights is too real, right?

May 24, Rhine Life Experimental Base No. 4.

3am.

The door to Xia Feng's room was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in from the door.

It's Seria.

At this time, Xia Feng did not lie on the bed to sleep, but sat quietly by the bed.

Even if he didn't draw out the black power at this moment, there was still a faint black mist lingering around him, and the whole room seemed to have an invisible black hole centered on him.

A huge sense of oppression filled the room.

If the person who came in was not Ceria but an ordinary person, he would probably be forced to move by this sense of oppression.

Seria stood at the door, and a low voice came.

"It's time, let's go."

"kindness."

Xia Feng stood up calmly and followed Seria out of the room.

Until this day came, Hemo had not been able to find a way to suppress the expansion of power. According to the prior agreement, Xia Feng had to leave Base 4 at the last moment.

No one knows what will happen, which is better for everyone.

Xia Feng followed Seria from the fourth floor to the first floor.

He didn't meet anyone along the way, only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the air.

Standing in the middle of the hall on the first floor, Xia Feng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Unknowingly, it has been a month since he and Turtle came to Rhine Life.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, everyone generally thinks that the Rhine Life is not a good bird. They have no affection and secretly carry out some dark experiments that go against human nature.

Although Xia Feng had suffered outrageous treatment before and was secretly experimented on unconsciously, he had no resentment towards Rhine Life because he knew that those were all orders from the former person in charge of the Origin Stone project.

In the final analysis, Rhine Life suppressed the progression of his ore disease. Of course, this was mainly due to the help of Helmer, and Helmer was willing to help him because he saved Ifrit during the natural disaster.

He now knew what the power was within him.

Hemer also made good on her promise.

Rhine Life may not be as dark as the world sees it. At least at the No. 4 Experimental Base where Hemer was responsible, Xia Feng felt a touch of warmth.

Seria, Ifrit, Hemo.

Here, he didn't see cold-blooded scientific madmen. What he saw was just a group of flesh and blood, knights of the Ark who tried their best to fight against fate.

"drop!"

The heavy metal door was opened, and in front of him was a passage that he had never walked through before. Xia Feng knew that this passage led to the outside.

At this time, he suddenly saw a person standing behind a pillar not far away.

Turtle poked half of his head out and stared at him quietly from behind the pillar.

Obviously, even if no one told her, Turtle would realize something after all these days.

Xia Feng did not hesitate and walked towards her expressionlessly.

Walking up to Turtle, Xia Feng gently put his hand on her head.

Guigui lowered her head and let Xia Feng caress her head, and a disappointed voice came from her mouth.

"Big Windmill, will you come back?"

"certainly."

"Don't make me wait too long. If it takes too long, I will forget your existence."

Xia Feng showed a relieved smile, raised his hand and took off the scarf on his head, wrapping it around Guigui's neck.

"Turtle, I'm leaving."

"Well, have a nice trip."

Xia Feng took one last look at Guigui's young face, then turned around and walked towards the passage.

He didn't see that just after he turned around, a crystal teardrop fell from Turtle's eyes to the ground.

At some point, Hemo's figure also appeared at the entrance of the passage.

She hugged her shoulders and leaned against the wall of the entrance, gently closing her eyes.

Xia Feng didn't have anything to say, so he stepped forward and followed Seria straight into the passage.

When passing by Hemo, Xia Feng heard a guilty voice coming from her mouth.

"Feel sorry."

Xia Feng stopped and showed a gentle smile.

"Hemo, you have tried your best. Next, it will be my own battle. Let me tell Aina that the food she cooks is really delicious."

Homer looked up.

"It's better to wait until you come back to say this to her in person."

"Heh, okay."

After saying this, Xia Feng seemed to realize something.

Then he suddenly quickened his pace and trotted into the passage without looking back.

Seria next to him immediately chased after him.

"Hey, don't be so hasty, wait a minute."

Xia Feng trotted all the way until he turned a corner and slowed down his pace.

I don’t know why, but the atmosphere suddenly changed a bit like a scene in a Korean drama. The whole temptation of going home was missing a sad BGM.

To be honest, he felt that he could still save himself now, but if he continued, he might not be able to come back.

Seria catches up with Xia Feng.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I have nothing. By the way, you should also say goodbye to me."

"Why say goodbye? I still have to drive you to the designated place."

"oh."

5 minutes later.

"drop!"

As the last iron door opened, a cool breeze blew over Xia Feng's face.

There was a desolate scene in his field of vision. Although it was not yet dark, he could still tell that Base 4 was not located in an urban area.

Walk out of the aisle.

Xia Feng turned around and glanced behind him. A magnificent steel fortress appeared in his field of vision. Viewed from the outside, the huge Rheinland Life 4 experimental base was far more spectacular than from the inside.

Looking at the bare sand and stones around him, stepping on the solid ground, Xia Feng couldn't help but ask Seria next to him.

"here it is?"

"This is northern Colombia. Eleven years ago, there was a prosperous city here. The name of this city was Buda. However, now it can only be called the Buda region."

Xia Feng turned his head sideways.

"Could it be?"

"Yes, 11 years ago, Buda City was destroyed by a natural disaster. Because of its long history, Buda City did not have the technology to move the city-state. The entire city was razed to the ground by a black storm. Afterwards, the surrounding area for several kilometers was completely destroyed. It was not until 3 years ago that Rhine Life detected that the Source Stone material in this area had dissipated, and then chose to build the No. 4 Experimental Base here."

Xia Feng nodded.

"So it turns out that by setting up the experimental base in such a deserted area, no matter what happens, no one will discover it."

"High-level officials should consider this."

The entire Experimental Base No. 4 is like an ancient castle hidden in the desert. Except for a few staff members, there are not even personnel responsible for warning and security.

Xia Feng knew that the scarcity of personnel did not mean that the defense force was weak. Sometimes, tools were safer than people.

There is a row of cars parked on the left side of the exit of the passage, which look a bit like powerful off-road vehicles.

Seria opened a car door casually and sat in the driver's seat. She put her fingerprint on a sensor and the car's engine started instantly.

"Uh-huh!"

As soon as he braked, the off-road vehicle's tires drew an arc and stopped in front of Xia Feng.

Seria sat in the driver's seat and raised her hand towards him.

"Get in the car, we're getting out of here now."
