Arknights is too real, right?

The news of Xia Feng's return to Victoria has been notified to the empire's top brass. Knowing that he was in the south, the empire's foreign minister immediately sent an invitation to him, asking him to go to Londinium as soon as possible.

Yandong is currently very stable, so his schedule is not very urgent. However, the empire is very urgent.

The establishment of the colonial zone has been put on hold for too long. If the colonial plan is launched, the entire country will coordinate many related matters. This is no small project.

The house you have bought needs to be moved in as soon as possible, otherwise it will become "haunted" if left idle for too long.

On this day, Xia Feng got up early. Of course, he would not go to the north today.

Although his main purpose of returning to the barbecue restaurant was to visit his companions, apart from that, he also had "business matters" to discuss with everyone.

In the morning, Xia Feng came to the medical department on the second floor of the barbecue restaurant.

Today, more than ten infected hospitals have been established in Victoria in the name of [Azazel], specializing in the suppression of oriosis.

The medical technology in these hospitals was provided by Dr. Kane. The oriosis-inhibiting solvent that Black Feather distributed to infected patients for free has now been optimized and mass-produced.

Now, Dr. Kane will no longer participate in the work of the hospital. He now stays in the medical department all day and conducts research related to mineral disease alone.

The medical department on the second floor.

Dr. Kane first helped Xia Feng conduct a detailed physical examination.

Half an hour later, seeing the results of the examination, Dr. Kane was obviously not very optimistic.

"Xia Feng, there are no obvious problems with your body function at the moment, but the ore disease is worsening at a much more serious rate than before."

Xia Feng put his shirt back on, not seeming to care much about the result.

"This is normal, because I often come into contact with the Origin Stone. Not long ago, I got into a fight with someone during a natural disaster without taking any protective measures."

As a doctor, Dr. Kane doesn't think so.

"Xia Feng, this is not a child's play. There is no pattern to the onset of mineral sickness. With your current blood source stone crystal density, once it attacks, it is very likely to happen."

"Will he die?"

"It won't be a direct death, but I'm afraid it will cause unimaginable damage to your body."

Xia Feng nodded calmly.

"With the current rate of deterioration, how long can I live?"

It was obviously difficult for Dr. Kane to answer this heavy topic.

"I can't say that."

"It doesn't matter, just say it. Don't worry, I'm in a good mood."

Dr. Kane stared at the examination report solemnly for a while.

"Your physical condition is very special. If you are a normal person, it is impossible for you to have a severe mineral disease like yours without feeling anything. However, as long as you are a human, your body will have a critical point of endurance."

"Is it the critical point?"

"Yes, based on my experience, if everything goes well, it can survive for up to 6 to 8 years."

"What if it doesn't go well?"

Dr. Kane hesitated to speak, but finally spoke.

"Death within 2 years is not impossible."

Xia Feng was not very depressed about this result. He felt that Dr. Kane's judgment was very fair.

Dr. Kane said that his body is very special. As a client, he knows very well what is special about his body.

He is the successor of the black and white twins. The white power can dispel all pain in the body when activated. This is why there are no problems with his body functions.

However, the white power could not cure his mineral sickness.

On the contrary, this is also the reason why his ore disease becomes more serious.

In other words, the countdown to death caused by ore disease did not stop because of the white power, but was silently accumulating.

Until one day, the crystal density of his Blood Origin Stone exceeded the critical point that his body could bear. At that time, no amount of power could save him.

If his vital signs disappear, he will be like all infected people who die, and his body will become a source of oriosis infection.

Then, the black and white twins in the body will disappear, and they will float into the air, and then re-condensate into a cluster of black and white origin stones somewhere in the world, waiting for the next owner.

Sitting on the bed in the medical department, Xia Feng buttoned up his coat and looked relaxed.

"Dr. Kane, let's not talk about my own physical condition. I have something else I want to discuss with you."

Dr. Kane put the examination report in his hand on the table.

"What's up?"

"Do you want to spread the meaning of Azazel to other countries' lands?"

After hearing this, Dr. Kane's intelligence had roughly guessed what Xia Feng wanted to discuss with him.

"The meaning of Azazel does not distinguish between countries, nationalities, and races. Naturally, it does not distinguish between land. As long as there are infected people in need of assistance, I will be happy to help."

"Then, are you willing to follow me back to Yandong?"

"No matter where it is, I will not resist, even if it is returning to Ursus, as long as the reason is sufficient, I will go."

I didn't expect Dr. Kane to agree so straightforwardly, without even needing to think.

Xia Feng looked around at the experimental equipment in the room.

"Then your research"

Dr. Kane shook his head slightly.

"It doesn't matter. The progress of the research is all in my head. I can continue to conduct research no matter where I am. In other words, medical research is meant to save more people. As a doctor, if I give up for the sake of research, To save, isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?”

It is clear that Dr. Kane's original intention has not changed.

At the beginning, even though he was running a small and poor clinic in the Gilt neighborhood, he did not give up his will to pass on Azazel.

Later, working with Kuroba allowed Azazel's will to spread throughout Victoria.

Although Dr. Kane is respected today, he still wants to bring the meaning of Azazel to a land where there are still desperate cries of infected people rather than a comfortable life.

As long as this opportunity appears in front of him, he will not turn a blind eye.

Inviting Dr. Kane to Yandong is the most important part of Xia Feng's plan, because he has already predicted the follow-up plan for Yandong in the interior of Yan country.

Even if his prediction is wrong in the end, it doesn't matter because his own plan is consistent with this.

After hitting it off with Dr. Kane, Xia Feng was in a good mood.

Next, he needed to find another person, the great Engineer Mel.

Mel's private research laboratory is right next to the barbecue restaurant. Xia Feng helped her build it originally. Today, this miniature experimental base is still in use.

After coming out of the barbecue restaurant, Xia Feng moved to the door next door.

"Mel, what are you doing?"

As soon as he entered the first floor, two mechanical dogs blocked his way.

The infrared halo hit his face, and the next second, a mechanical electronic sound came out.

"Face recognition failed, intruder found, warning, warning, leave this area immediately, warning, warning, leave this area immediately."

Xia Feng looked embarrassed and could only shout loudly inside as if asking for help.

"Mel, why did my facial recognition fail again? Haven't you registered me yet?"

At the same time, the mechanical dog's eyes turned red.

"Warning, warning, in 5 seconds, the intruder annihilation mode will be activated, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"
