Arknights is too real, right?

Chapter 143 Three forks in the road

The boss of Black Steel International is different. At least his attitude makes people feel very comfortable, and he doesn't have the appearance of a nouveau riche at all.

As the saying goes, the king is no accident, and his strength is extraordinary. Otherwise, so many retired soldiers have not succeeded, but Ogur has succeeded. This pattern is here.

In fact, after Xia Feng thought about it carefully, he didn't need to be too nervous.

Just like Ogur said just now, maybe they will need each other as a friend in the future. To put it bluntly, Ogur intuitively took a fancy to his future potential. At least for now, he may continue to be in Ogur's eyes. Not even a green onion counts.

In this case, Xia Feng simply let go of his restraint and ignored you, Oguerdo, who is awesome. You don't have much to do with him now.

Ogul wanted to chat with him like an ordinary friend, which he was very good at. Influenced by his good friend Zhang Yuan, Xia Feng's bargaining skills were also top-notch.

Xia Feng put away the business card and started chatting casually with Ogur.

"Okay, actually I am quite casual and not suitable for politeness. ACE is my eldest brother, and you have been ACE's good brother for many years. So, to show my kindness, I will call you Lao Gu."

Although Ogur personally asked for it to be casual, after saying this, Xia Feng felt that it seemed a bit casual and he immediately added.

"Ha, I just think your name is a bit convoluted. If you don't like Lao Gu, I can change it."

Ogur was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"Haha, Lao Gu, that's a good title, it's kind enough."

"Hehe, as long as you don't mind."

Xia Feng looked around the room casually.

"Lao Gu, the name of Black Steel International is too loud. Hey, could this bar be your headquarters?"

"Of course not, this is just my private bar. Black Steel's headquarters is not in Bra City, and our headquarters is very grand. You can come and visit if you have the opportunity in the future."

Xia Feng just asked casually. He also felt that this bar could not be the headquarters of Black Steel. According to Black Steel's financial resources, it was estimated that the real headquarters would be as spectacular as a high-end military base.

Looking at the time, ACE has been away for more than 20 minutes. If all goes well, he should have found the unconscious Charmander by now and is taking her back.

Ogur leaned on the sofa.

"You don't have to worry about your friends. With ACE's strength, it's easy to rescue someone from those stupid military police. Even if something unexpected happens, I will find a way to help you get your friends back."

With Ogul's words, Xia Feng was naturally relieved. According to Hemer's plan, it was impossible for Rhine Life to find out that Ifrit had escaped in a short time. The military police in Bra City did not know that Charmander was a fusion To them, she is just an infected little girl who can set fire. Even if ACE makes a mistake, with the influence of Black Steel, they can still save a person from the military police. .

Of course, he estimated that Brother ACE would not make any mistakes.

Having said this, Xia Feng couldn't help but ask Ogul.

"Lao Gu, I remember that the mercenary group led by Brother ACE was called [Death]. Has he also joined Black Steel now?"

"No, ACE has not joined Black Steel. Apart from being friends, we have no interest in any relationship. Of course, I have invited him more than once, but he rejected me every time."

"Why did brother ACE reject you?"

Ogur took a deep drag on his cigar.

"I understand ACE. There was a time when I was like him and wanted to change something. However, after leaving the Youth Army, I discovered that the more serious the thing you want to change, the more wealth and strength you need to match it."

Then Ogur smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"Through my own efforts, I built Black Steel International from scratch in more than ten years, and gained wealth and strength that ordinary people cannot match. However, after acquiring these, I gradually forgot what I wanted to change when I was young. What."

After listening to Ogur's words, Xia Feng could probably guess what he wanted to change when he was young.

Ogur has not forgotten, but he just doesn’t want to think about it again, because more than ten years later, he understands that even if a powerful organization like Black Steel is established, there are some things that he still cannot change, such as the relationship between infected people and ordinary people. Contradictions, such as this world that is gradually collapsing.

It was obvious that Ogur had already abandoned his youthful ideals, and chose something more practical than pursuing those innocent dreams.

But Brother ACE is different. Although he has never mentioned it, Xia Feng knows that he has not given up, so three years later, he will choose to join Rhode Island.

In fact, ever since meeting Ogul, Xia Feng's heart has undergone a subtle change.

At this moment, he seemed to understand what he needed to do.

Ogur was right. The more serious the thing you want to change, the more you need to have the wealth and strength to match it.

There is no doubt that the power of the black and white twins gives him strong combat effectiveness and a very high fault tolerance rate, but this complex world will not openly fight with him head-on.

Xia Feng knew that some things could not be solved by just being able to fight. As the saying goes, a tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves. The reason why a pack of wolves is scary is not because of its strong fighting power, but because the wolf has very rich With the ability to survive in the wild, wolves can calmly cope with various harsh natural environments. Wolves with this ability can drag to death enemies that are several times stronger than themselves.

The same applies to the world of Terra. If you want to be invincible in this world, your own excellent strength is important, but in addition, connections, intelligence, power, money, and a group of people who are willing to work with you at critical moments Comrades who live and die together, these are indispensable things for a wolf pack.

Obviously, Ogur did it, so Black Steel International is a world-class security company.

Vina also did it, so the Glasgow Gang is a famous gang resounding internationally.

Three years later, Rhode Island did the same thing, and as a result, it became the most powerful armed medical organization for infected people in the world.

Xia Feng doesn't know how to become as good as Wei Na and Amiya, but his ambitions don't stop there. Existing at the level of Rhode Island is not his ultimate goal, because he knows very well, The real world of Terra was far more complicated than he imagined.

The world is like a huge black vortex, surrounded by a lot of black fog that you can't see clearly.

And the dark fog that he needs to clear at his next stop is the dark cloud hanging over Victoria.

Recalling every bit of his acquaintance with Vina in Ursus, Xia Feng actually noticed that at that time Vina had already had a premonition of the major event that was about to happen in Victoria, so she was in the alley of Chernobog. , Wei Na, who was ready to kill herself and silence her, would put down the hammer.

Vina is accumulating enough wealth and secretly developing a huge power of her own to cope with this major event that is about to happen in Londinium.

[I had a dream, that was where the sun rose. My hometown is there beyond the reach of my sight. Maybe I will never go back. 】

Xia Feng didn't want this sentence to appear in Weina's future operator information. From his standpoint, no matter what Weina had to face, he would help her unconditionally.

However, if he looks at the world from a higher angle, Xia Feng doesn't know what kind of things he needs to accumulate before he can finally face the mission entrusted to him by the person in the darkness.

He didn't know how he could resist the gods and rebuild the tower leading to heaven.

If Amiya and Tallulah represent the two extremes of killing and saving, then his mission undoubtedly requires opening up a third way.

Amiya cannot save everyone, because someone has already sacrificed, and the road to kingship needs to be accompanied by blood, otherwise she will be ruined before her wish can be realized, just like her exclusive skill.

And Tallulah cannot rebuild the world amidst the killing, because the land that is infected by blood will also regenerate life that is distorted. As long as the infected still exist, the hatred will not disappear.

It was three years ago before the Qicheng riots, and it was also the beginning of this era. Unconsciously, he, Amiya, and Tallulah were already standing at a fork in the road representing different destinies. Next , they will use their own different methods to continue writing the future of this world.

There will be a final chapter of the chat later.
