Arknights is too real, right?

Londinium is the capital of Victoria and the most prosperous large city in the north. This city can be said to be very familiar to Xia Feng.

More than a year ago, he lived in this city for several months.

At that time, his official position was the director of the Special Operations Division of the Supervision Office. He went to work in the Supervision Building during the day and returned to Vina's house to sleep at night.

Looking back now, those days are really hard to describe.

Perhaps it was during that time, when he and Vina were in the vortex of the storm, that they subconsciously became emotionally dependent on each other.

Some people say that people are most helpless when facing danger.

But if someone faces the same danger with you from the same standpoint, then this dependence may become an irreplaceable emotion in life.

From the driver's seat, Tang Hua was also very familiar with Londinium. While driving, he asked Xia Feng.

"Xia Feng, where should we stay first?"

"Go to the administration building first."

"good."

After entering the city of Londinium, the vehicle went straight to the administrative building along the Avenue of Light.

When he entered the city just now, he showed the token of Governor Yandong. Of course, the military police at the monitoring station immediately reported this situation to the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

When their vehicles parked at the entrance of the administrative building, a group of senior officials from the empire had been waiting for a long time.

Xia Feng got out of the car and shook hands with these senior officials very formally.

"Hello everyone, I am Xia Feng."

Faced with his proactive self-introduction, the officials responsible for the reception seemed a little flattered and bowed their bodies repeatedly.

"Hello, Governor Xia. Thank you for your hard work coming all the way."

"Fortunately, by the way, the person next to me is the district adjutant of Yandong Special Administrative Region, Chief Zhou Liang."

"Oh, hello, Commander Zhou."

Faced with such an occasion, Zhou Liang was naturally at ease. After shaking hands with these officials one by one, he immediately started to talk hypocritically.

Looking at the officials who came to receive them, Xia Feng could see a few familiar faces, but he couldn't name them.

He knew that these people were so respectful to him not entirely because of his status as Governor Yandong.

In diplomacy, with the current strength of the Victoria Empire, it would not be so condescending to a special zone governor of the Yan Kingdom.

What these officials really care about is not the identity of [Governor Yandong], but the name [Xia Feng].

Just one year later, even though the empire's senior officials have undergone a major change, as survivors who have experienced the dark ages together, none of these high-ranking officials are unaware of the tragedy of the past.

No one will forget who took the lead in killing the more than 2 million infected people who came to the city.

Today, the number of infected people in Victoria still exceeds 5 million.

Although the king established an infected city and opened the infected to almost the same treatment as imperial citizens.

But the catastrophe of the past still leaves people with lingering fears.

Outside the administrative building.

The meeting was almost done, when a middle-aged official with gold-rimmed glasses signaled to Xia Feng.

"Governor Xia, long time no see. I believe this building is no stranger to you. Please come inside."

After staring at the middle-aged man's face for a long time, Xia Feng seemed to remember who this person was.

If he remembered correctly, this man's name was Mirren, who was the former Minister of Finance of the Empire.

He was arrested by the Inspectorate from the Royal Academy to Londinium and sent to the Royal Court because of the Sargon smuggling of Origin Stones and the murder of Reich.

The then Yuan Congress and General of Military Affairs Frei had important evidence and wanted to kill him in court.

Later, Wei Na used the pre-arranged Yi Nanxue to forcibly remove the identity of the culprit from him.

At that time, Finance Minister Mirren was invited to the court to testify.

Thinking of who this person was, Xia Feng smiled kindly.

"Lord Mirren, long time no see."

Milun was surprised when Xia Feng called out his name.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Governor Xia would still remember my name. I'm really flattered."

"I have a good memory."

Hearing what Xia Feng said, Mirren looked a little emotional, but given his status, it was still not suitable for him to talk too much about the past with Xia Feng in public.

"It's windy outside, Governor Xia, please come in quickly."

Xia Feng raised his head and glanced at the dozens-of-storey administrative building. Xia Feng had no intention of entering.

"Mr. Mirren, will the negotiations with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Assembly proceed now?"

"No, no, no, our original plan is 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. It's already too late today. Let's go in and have a cup of tea. We'll have a banquet in the Royal Restaurant in the evening. Please enjoy it."

Xia Feng was not interested at all in this kind of banquet among bureaucrats.

He has more interesting things to do than chatting with these pot-bellied officials about some sterile business gossip.

"Since the meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, I will take my leave first. I will be here on time tomorrow."

"Governor Xia, what are you doing?"

"I have some personal matters tonight, so I'll let Commander Zhou attend the dinner instead of me. That's it, I'll leave first."

After saying that, Xia Feng patted Zhou Liang next to him.

"Lao Zhou, just listen to Master Mirren's arrangements tonight. I will be here tomorrow morning."

Zhou Liang was a smart man and knew that Xia Feng hated this kind of banquet, so he decisively agreed.

"Sir, don't worry, I will be waiting for you at the door tomorrow morning."

"good."

"Sir, please pay attention to your safety."

"OK."

Then, regardless of Mr. Mirren's attempts to stay, Xia Feng decisively ran back to the car driven by Tang Hua, and as if running away, the car sped away from the administrative building.

The reason Tang Hua volunteered to come this time was because he was exhausted from staying under Nancy's nose all day.

Although Tang Hua is devoted to Nancy, even a dog needs to be let out after being tied up for a long time.

There was no valid excuse before, but this time he was caught.

While driving, Tang Hua said excitedly.

"Xia Feng, you made a very wise choice not to stay there. Tell me where we can go to have fun at night!"

As night fell, looking at the bustling streets of Londinium, Xia Feng said unceremoniously.

"Find a place and eat first."

"Okay."

When he was with Tang Hua, Xia Feng certainly didn't need to be a stranger. In a sense, he and Tang Hua had a life-long friendship and were true brothers.

Although Tang Hua was used to being an aristocratic young master and looked a little out of place, he would never forget how handsome Tang Hua looked when he helped him "take the blame" in court.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xia Feng looked left and right.

“There are so many delicious restaurants.”

Tang Hua rolled down the window, lit a cigarette skillfully, and replied while holding the steering wheel with one hand.

"This is our own territory. You can eat whatever you want. Why don't you go to the Royal Restaurant? I know the boss there."

"Don't go, it's too high-end and I'm not used to it."

"Then what type do you want to eat?"

Xia Feng thought for a moment.

"Are there any outdoor snacks with barbecue, beer, and fireworks?"

Tang Hua looked understanding.

"I understand, don't you just want to eat at a food stall? Okay, I happen to know a place in Beicheng District. Come on, let's go get some skewers!"
