Arknights is too real, right?

A snowflake fell on the tip of Xia Feng's nose, feeling cool.

At some point, it started snowing again.

Snowflakes fell quietly in the dark Mandel City, and gusts of cold wind blew through the streets, sending out a cold and desolate echo.

Around Xia Feng, dozens of corpses stood motionless like statues.

With his eyes widened, Xia Feng still couldn't clearly see the situation around him. After hearing Wei Na's words, he could only rely on his imagination to figure out the situation around him.

To be honest, this is the scariest thing. Unseen things are often scarier than what you see, because people always have an instinctive fear of the unknown.

Fear is the instinct of living things. Xia Feng remembered that he had read an article titled "Why are humans afraid of the corpses of the same kind".

The article writes that the reason why humans are afraid when seeing the corpses of the same kind is because of human wisdom.

The corpse means a signal of danger, but it is not the corpse itself that is dangerous, but the reason that causes it to become a corpse. Human beings subconsciously think that there are factors nearby that will make them become the same as the corpse in front of them, but people do not You will be aware of your subconscious thoughts, and you will only feel fear when you see the corpse, without knowing the reason.

There is no doubt that Xia Feng is very scared now. As for the level of fear, he is so scared that he almost wet his pants.

Although he has watched horror movies before and entered the haunted house in the amusement park, which may not be less exciting than it is now, Xia Feng knows that they are all lies, and no matter how scary they are, they will not be life-threatening. .

But now it's really exciting.

Xia Feng's eyes widened. With the dim light in his hand, he could distinguish the two statue corpses in front of him, but in the darkness around him, there were dozens of similar corpses that he couldn't see.

To be honest, Xia Feng doesn't believe that there are ghosts in the world.

Although there are always phenomena that cannot be explained by science that challenge the authority of the scientific community, Xia Feng still feels that the theory of ghosts and gods is too ridiculous. He even ridiculed the ghosts and gods on the Internet with some silly netizens. .

But at this moment, he wished he could travel back in time and slap himself twice in the face when he used to sit in front of the computer and stand and talk without back pain.

There was deathly silence all around.

In a daze, Xia Feng felt as if there were crowds of people around him, as if there were dozens of pairs of resentful eyes staring at him, and his every move was completely exposed to "them" eyes.

Suddenly, he felt a figure flash beside him.

Xia Feng quickly turned around.

However, there was no one behind.

A drop of cold sweat ran down Xia Feng's cheek. Because of the large movement, he even had a tinnitus.

Xia Feng's limbs felt stiff. In addition to his heavy breathing, he could also hear his own heartbeat.

At this moment, he felt a hand tap his shoulder from behind.

"Mom!"

Xia Feng screamed and jumped up from where he was, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Because the reaction was too intense, Wei Na behind him was also startled by him.

"What are you doing! You were so surprised."

Seeing clearly that the person behind was Wei Na, Xia Feng stood there stunned for a long time, then finally came to his senses and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Vina, you scared me to death, I thought you were"

"What did you think it was?"

"Um, it's nothing."

Xia Feng was embarrassed to admit that he had been so frightened by his fantasy that his legs were weak, so he forced an indifferent smile.

"Vina, don't shoot me suddenly. It's very scary. Even a strong-willed and calm man like me will be shocked, hehehe."

"Huh? I didn't take a picture of you."

The air froze at this moment, and the smile on Xia Feng's face gradually disappeared.

"You didn't take a picture of me just now?"

"I didn't take any pictures."

Xia Feng felt a deep chill go straight to the back of his head, and goosebumps stood up all over his body.

"I, I, I, I really felt like someone was filming me just now. Who was it?"

A deep voice came from the side.

"it's me."

Xia Feng was startled again by the sound and instinctively jumped to the side.

I saw Kate squatting on the ground, looking at Xia Feng expressionlessly, but there was a trace of naughtiness in his eyes?

After seeing clearly that it was Kate, Xia Feng cursed directly.

"Damn, why did you suddenly take a picture of me, and then squat on the ground and say nothing after the picture?"

Kate stood up from the ground and coughed slightly.

"Ahem, it's nothing special. I just want to take a photo of you."

"Nima!"

At this time, ACE also came over and said to Xia Feng and the others.

"I just took a quick look around and found that there were at least thirty corpses of infected people standing dead like this in this square. As for the reason, I still can't figure it out."

Vina nodded.

"I don't understand it yet. Forget it. Let's go back and meet everyone first. Be careful."

"kindness."

Everyone nodded and walked back to the place where the team was resting not far away.

Vina analyzed as she walked.

"The natural disaster that destroyed Mandal City 27 years ago should have caused a great sensation at the time. Afterwards, the Ursus military must send people to deal with the aftermath. Even if Mandal City was destroyed, the natural disaster The Source Stone that grows later can also make up for the losses, and the bodies of the dead in the city are things that the military must dispose of."

Xia Feng nodded in agreement.

"Vina, you are right. Judging from this situation, there is only one possibility. These corpses appeared in Mandel City after the Ursus military mined the source stone and completed all the aftermath work. .”

After Xia Feng finished speaking, ACE next to him suddenly interrupted.

"Miss Weiner, do you know the type of natural disaster that happened more than ten days ago from the information your Glasgow Gang has?"

"According to the information coming from Victoria, this natural disaster seems to be a fire storm."

ACE touched his chin.

"Well, that's right. I just observed that the surfaces of these corpses have obviously been burned by high temperatures. Those black things are burnt skin tissues. Because the bodies are fused with the Origin Stone, these corpses are not It will not turn into ashes. Moreover, although the corpses of infected people can survive for decades without decay, they do not last for 27 years. It is obvious that judging from the completeness of these corpses, they should have appeared recently. The infected people in Mandel City were killed by someone in some way and then fixed in place, or they were fixed and then killed."

Xia Feng's eyes lit up and he said with appreciation.

"Brother ACE, your analysis makes so much sense. Have you also watched "Detective Corgi"?"

"What Corgi? I've never heard of it."

"Um, it's nothing."

After listening to ACE's analysis, Vina's expression became more complicated. It was obvious that in addition to the Source Stone, there were many secrets hidden in this Mandel City.

Vina tightened her grip on the war hammer.

"From now on, everyone, please be alert. The secrets hidden in this city are none of our business. As long as we successfully obtain the Source Stone and leave here safely, everything will be fine."

Xia Feng immediately agreed.

"Weina is right. Be careful to sail the ship for thousands of years and keep the green hills. Don't worry about running out of firewood. The worst is, we can get less this time and run away after making a profit."

Wei Na turned back to look at Xia Feng.

"Xia Feng, what you said makes sense, but I have something important to tell you."

"What's up?"

"Why have you been holding on to me so tightly since just now?"

Xia Feng was stunned for a second, and then immediately let go of the hand that was grabbing Wei Na's clothes like an eagle grabbing a chicken, and explained with an embarrassed look.

"Aren't I afraid that you'll fall? Hehe, hehe, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this? I've agreed beforehand that I'm not holding on to Vina because I'm afraid. You have to believe me, it's definitely not because Fear."
