Arknights is too real, right?

Seeing Ifrit was brought back safely, Xia Feng finally let go of his worries. However, he had just heard about what Brother ACE had gone through, which made him a little confused as to how he should feel. Come face him.

Should I comfort him or have a drink with him?

Not knowing what to say, Xia Feng could only smile gratefully at ACE.

"Brother ACE, thank you."

ACE waved his hand.

"You don't need to thank me. Didn't you also risk your life for your companions in Mandel City? Since you call me big brother, then this is what I, the big brother, should do."

"kindness."

Ogur stood up from the sofa.

"Okay, now that the person is rescued, everyone can have a peaceful sleep tonight. Although I don't know what you have been through, you must be very tired today. I will ask someone to arrange a bedroom for you and give you Send some delicious food, and we can discuss anything tomorrow."

ACE gently patted Ogur's thick arm.

"Thanks brother."

"You are still telling me this. You saved my life back then. Your friends are my friends, so there is no need to be polite to me."

"Oh, didn't you also save my life?"

"Yes, so your life is my life, and my life is also your life."

Ifrit, who was hugged by Turtle, raised her head and shouted to Ogur to ruin the atmosphere.

"Hey, who are you? Why are you so big? You're blocking the light. Go, go, go away."

Xia Feng next to him immediately scolded him.

"Ifrit, why are you talking so much nonsense? Brother Ogul is the boss here, and there is no big deal here."

"cut."

Later, Ogul arranged a room for Xia Feng and the others. It was already late at night. Due to the fatigue of the day, Turtle and Ifrit fell asleep immediately after eating.

After closing the door gently, Xia Feng retreated from the room.

The ACE next to him glanced at him.

"are not you sleepy?"

"good."

"Then, do you want to go have a drink?"

"That has to be a drink."

Sitting in a quiet corner of the bar, Xia Feng and ACE gently knocked their wine glasses together.

This moment seems to be a historical moment, and those past events are still vivid in my mind.

Once upon a time, Xia Feng asked ACE carelessly in the car heading to Mandel City.

[Brother ACE, do you like drinking? 】

[Well, I like to have a drink with my companions when I’m not on a mission, but I can’t drink now, as it will affect my next actions. 】

[Haha, you don’t have to drink it now. All the wine I brought was drunk by Wei Na yesterday. So, next time I will find a way to get you a bottle of Wuliangye. 】

[Xia Feng, thank you for your kindness, but we will be separated after this mission is over. 】

[Just leave your address and I can mail it to you. 】

[Oh, okay, if we have another chance to meet in the future, I’ll invite you to have a drink at my friend’s bar. 】

【One word is settled. 】

As time goes by, the wine glasses that collide together now replace the fists that collided in the air that day.

However, they are no longer the same selves as before. The people who were in the team at that time have also undergone different changes. Some people have become infected, some have lost their lives, and some have lost their lives. The faith to keep going.

Xia Feng drank all the wine in the cup. He who didn't know how to drink before seemed to understand the bitterness contained in the wine at this moment.

Some things have already happened before you make changes, and some people have disappeared before you have officially said goodbye to them. This is life, a bit bitter and helpless.

Putting down the wine glass, Xia Feng didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he could only say one thing.

"Brother ACE, I am really sad about what happened to the [Death] team."

"Oh, it turns out you heard what Ogur said. This is no one's fault. We are just fulfilling our duties as mercenaries."

"and you."

"Now that everything is over, I have also figured out that my abilities are limited. I can risk my life to save my brother, but fate will not give me such an opportunity every time, so now I just want to be a Ordinary people.”

"Really? This should be a decision you make seriously."

"Yes."

In fact, logically speaking, Xia Feng has no right to interfere with ACE's decision. Whether he wants to become an ordinary person or become a Super Saiyan, this is his own life choice. However, Xia Feng cannot ignore one point.

Obviously, fate will not allow ACE to become an ordinary person so smoothly.

The ideal in ACE's heart has not disappeared, but he has buried the unattainable ideal in a self-deceptive way. Perhaps he longs for a world where infected people and ordinary people can coexist harmoniously. He hopes that one day in the future, a world with the same People who match his beliefs come to fulfill his wishes.

So no matter what choice ACE makes now, he will join Rhode Island in three years.

Then, starting with Chernobog, the Dark Ages will come, ACE, and he will die.

Xia Feng held the wine glass in his hand tightly.

"Brother ACE, is this really okay?"

"It's nothing good, I'm tired."

ACE refilled the wine and clinked glasses with Xia Feng again.

"Maybe my life seems like a failure, but I'm not at the point of despair yet. Compared with my comrades, I'm still very healthy, right?"

"Yes."

Xia Feng could tell that ACE had a forced smile, but he didn't want to expose it at the moment.

The two of them drank the wine in their glasses.

Putting down the wine glass, ACE asked in a calm voice.

"Tell me about you. I heard from the Glasgow gang that you stayed in Mandel City alone to save Wei Na. Later, a natural disaster occurred there. To be honest, everyone thought you and little sister Turtle were together. Already dead, including me.”

Xia Feng smiled bitterly.

"Oh, a lot of things did happen at that time. It's really hard to describe in words."

Xia Feng couldn't explain to ACE the fact that he repeatedly jumped between the real world and the world of Terra. He could only describe what happened to ACE as simply as possible. He became an infected person and the abnormalities that occurred in his body. change, and was later taken in by Rhine Life.

After listening to Xia Feng's words, ACE thought thoughtfully for a while.

"So, that little Sakaz girl is the experimental subject who escaped from Rhine?"

"Yes, I promised someone that I would take her out of Colombia."

"Where are you going to take her?"

"Victoria."

ACE could tell that although Xia Feng had become more mature compared to before, he was still a complete fool when walking in this complicated world.

"Okay, I understand, I will find a way to help you get to Victoria."

Xia Feng was stunned.

"real!"

ACE smiled and nodded.

"Of course, even if I'm no longer useful, I can still do things like helping my former friends escape abroad. No, I'm still a little worried about you and little sister Turtle. So, let me escort you to Victoria. "
