Arknights is too real, right?

evening.

The setting sun gradually disappeared into the horizon, and there was still a trace of sunset on the horizon, but soon, darkness completely covered the sky.

Turtle has packed her things and stayed in Xia Feng's room carrying her exclusive backpack.

In fact, there was nothing to prepare. Apart from a suit of clothes, Xia Feng's belongings were the red scarf and, of course, the 100,000 tera coins given to him by Hemo.

But since he was going on a long trip, he still had to prepare things. Xia Feng picked out the fruits that Meier and the others had sent before and threw them into Turtle's backpack. He also found a plastic bag to put a few bottles of water in. As for eating, You can just buy the things now when you enter the city, since you have money anyway.

Xia Feng had already told Guigui that Ifrit would leave together. Although he understood that this would turn an honest trip into an escape plan, Guigui was still not unhappy at all. Instead, he was happily spinning around in circles.

Both infected people and girls of similar age, Turtle and Charmander also have a very good relationship. It is said that they played rubber bands together at Base 4. Ifrit would often give candies to Turtle. Turtle will also tell her interesting things that he remembered from previous trips.

The darkness outside the window was getting deeper and deeper. Xia Feng looked at the time and saw that it was almost time.

"Dong dong dong."

The knock on the door came on time.

Opening the door, Hermer quickly walked in with a solemn expression. Even though she usually looked calm and composed, she would still inevitably be nervous when it came to carrying out such a major task of helping experimental subjects to defect.

After Helmer walked in, he was followed by a slender figure, yes, it was Ifrit.

I saw that Hemo had put a big dark brown windbreaker on her, even her hair was covered. Her eyes were red, she must have cried just now.

It seemed that Hemer had just finished telling her the entire escape plan, and his worries and reluctance towards Hemer had already exploded. However, no matter how hard she persisted, she could not change Hemer's decision.

Ifrit's honest appearance here proves that she has accepted this escape plan.

Looking at Ifrit's face under the windbreaker, Xia Feng felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment. How could this feeling be like the feeling parents give away their children?

As the leader of the escape plan, he could only take the lead in breaking the atmosphere.

"Yo, you're here."

Ifrit walked to Xia Feng with her head lowered, and suddenly kicked him in the calf.

"Ouch!"

Charmander had red eyes and a gloomy look on his face as he pointed at Xia Feng and said.

"You guy, it turns out that you knew this plan a long time ago, and you actually played tricks on me this afternoon. You are so brave!"

Xia Feng smiled dryly while rubbing his legs.

"Hehe, hey, wasn't I teasing you?"

Hemo looked at the time, and then said to everyone seriously.

"Okay, stop making trouble and get ready. The guards at the gate will change shifts in 10 minutes. At that time, you can take this opportunity to exit through the west protective wall."

"ah?"

Xia Feng was a little puzzled.

No matter how ignorant he is, he still knows that the main safety measure of Rhine Life does not rely on manpower, but powerful warning equipment. Even if no one notices it, the protective wall surrounding the entire Base 3 is equipped with infrared functions. As long as someone touches it, it will An alarm will sound, and then, based on instructions from the console, nearby weapons and drones will take appropriate action.

he said immediately to Helmer.

"Exit through the protective wall? Wouldn't that expose you? What's the difference between this and rushing out directly from the main entrance?"

Xia Feng knew very well that his black and white twin cycle had only reached the seventh day. Even with Charmander, it was impossible to escape from Colombia if he was exposed the moment he escaped.

Homer gave him a reassuring expression.

"It won't be exposed. Someone will assist us from the inside when the time comes."

"Internal assistance? Who?"

"It's Mel. She will cut off the infrared detection of the protective wall in 10 minutes. As long as you go out within 30 seconds and restore the infrared detection system, and let Mel modify some system record information, it will not be exposed."

"I see."

Although I haven't had much interaction with Mel, I didn't expect this guy to be quite reliable.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng couldn't help but ask what he had always cared about.

"Hermer, Ceria"

"She didn't know about the plan."

Sure enough, Hemo kept it secret from her. After the Balrog incident, Seria would not stay at Base 3 like the white-faced owl and the others. It can be seen that she has a lot of things to be busy with. After all, Xia Feng has already I haven’t seen Seria for four or five days.

Hemo glanced at the little fire dragon next to him, then turned his head and said seriously to Xia Feng.

"I will personally explain to Ceria in the future. Whether she understands it or not, this is a choice I have to make. You don't have to worry about this. You just need to take Ifrit and leave Colombia safely. If there is fate in the future, I may come to find you. Before that, Ifrit will be under your care."

"kindness."

Xia Feng nodded solemnly.

Then, Hemo handed Xia Feng a piece of paper with a series of numbers on it.

"This is my second uncle's contact information. When you arrive in Victoria, call him. I will communicate with him in advance. You just need to explain to him what you need help with."

"oh."

Xia Feng carefully put the note away, and after thinking about it for a while, he made a copy of the phone number and put it in Guigui's backpack.

Finally, Hemo gave Xia Feng something special.

From the appearance, this is an accessory similar to a bracelet. The bracelet is made up of more than a dozen yellow beads, and the beads look crystal clear.

Xia Feng thought it was some kind of souvenir. He was wearing the cycle detection bracelet on his left hand, so after taking it, he immediately put it on his right hand.

"This thing is pretty good-looking, and quite expensive."

"It's not expensive. I asked Mel to make it."

"Ah? Isn't this a bracelet?"

Homer shook his head.

"No, those dozen light yellow beads are Source Stone material."

Xia Feng was not an idiot. Soon, he thought of Hemo's intention.

For him and Ifrit, once they encounter an unexpected emergency that requires fighting, the Source Stone is an indispensable item, but they cannot carry the large finished Source Stone with them, as that would be very easy. It was revealed that the Source Stone on this bracelet had obviously been specially treated. It was different from the internationally accepted unified specifications. The size of the beads was somewhat similar to glass marbles. Unless they were deliberately tested, no one would find out that it was the Source Stone.

Helmer explained.

"The energy of the Origin Stones contained in this bracelet is almost equal to that of an S-grade pure Origin Stone. Time is limited, and Mel only has time to make this one. If used sparingly, the energy of the Origin Stones in this bracelet should be It’ll last you a long time.”

"Got it, thank you."

Taking advantage of the darkness, Hemo sent Xia Feng and others to the protective wall on the west side of Base 3. Just as he had expected, there were no patrols along the way due to the approaching shift change time and the heavy reliance on technological equipment. Security personnel.

Standing 10 meters away from the protective wall, Helmer said in a deep voice while looking at the time.

"In one minute Mel will turn off the infrared detection. You should be able to cross this height easily. Don't hesitate. You only have 30 seconds."

Although his voice was calm, Xia Feng still saw from the corner of his eye that Hemo's fingers were trembling slightly due to nervousness.

Finally, Hemo fixed his gaze on Ifrit's face.

She touched Charmander's head and said softly.

"As I told you before, don't be afraid. If you leave here, you will follow Xia Feng to see this vast world."

Ifrit nodded.

"Well, I'm not afraid. Yoyo said he would take me to the BBQ country."

"Huh? What is the country of BBQ? Isn't it Victoria?"

There will be another chapter added later
