Arknights is too real, right?

"I will not leave my companions and go to Victoria alone to suppress ore disease. I am a fighter and I know very well what I am facing."

In the living room late at night, Shuangxing's attitude was extremely firm.

Xia Feng opened his mouth, but nothing came out. That's right, he couldn't refute.

Just imagine, if his companions in Victoria were fighting powerful enemies, how could he go to a foreign country alone in order to survive.

Xia Feng's eyes were a little dim.

"Frost Star, your companions haven't come yet, you can think about it again. If you change your mind, Black Feather and I welcome you at any time."

"I appreciate your kindness, but there is no need to consider this matter. I must go back to Ursus to settle the matter."

Xia Feng knew that if the normal course of history was followed, Frost Star would not die until at least 1096 in the Terra Calendar. As for what happened after that, he didn't know.

However, because of his existence, the trajectory of the entire history has now been changed into a mess by a chain reaction. The fate of all the people he has met, and even those he has never met, has become unknown.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was light outside the window.

The first night of the prison break ended peacefully.

An Suo poked his head out of her room. After making sure it was safe, he tiptoed to the bathroom to wash up.

She said while brushing her teeth.

"Hey, um, what's your name?"

Xia Feng sat up from the sofa and moved his body.

"My name is Xia Feng."

"Okay, Boss Xia, now that it's dawn, I think we need to discuss the cost."

"What's the fee?"

Ansuo pointed at him with a toothbrush.

"Of course it's mental damages. Brother, I have no intention of escaping from prison. Now that I'm implicated by you, I've become a wanted felon in Longmen."

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to Victoria with me?"

Ansuo looked happy.

"Huh? You agreed to take me back to Victoria?"

Xia Feng walked to the dining table, looked at the dish that Miss Nian cooked last night, and said casually.

"After the matter in Longmen is settled, you can follow me back to Victoria, but you have to listen to me when you get to Victoria."

Ansuo waved his hand with a smile.

"Hey, I can do whatever you want when I get to Victoria, but I won't lose a penny of my big house and money. Oh, by the way, I also have medical treatment."

Xia Feng showed a slight smile and secretly thought that this girl never suffered a loss. She was so smart. If it were a turtle, as long as she had delicious food, she might still be smiling and counting money for others after she was sold.

Xia Feng waved to Ansuo.

"Girl, come here, let me ask you something."

"Just a sec."

Ansuo quickly brushed his teeth and sat down next to Xia Feng.

"What's up?"

Xia Feng recalled his previous experience.

"Ansuo, do you know an old man named Rat King in the slums?"

Ansuo was stunned.

"You mean the gray forest?"

Xia Feng thought about it and realized that the Emperor seemed to have said that the rat man's surname was Lin.

"Probably, where does that old man come from? Is he the director of the neighborhood committee in the slum?"

Ansuo rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.

"Well, what do you say?"

"Quite complicated?"

"It's not complicated. Let's put it this way. Do you know who has the final say in the world of Longmen?"

Xia Feng blurted out.

"Wei Yanwu?"

Ansuo raised a finger and shook it with a mysterious look.

"You're only half right."

"What?"

"Wei Yanwu is the governor of Longmen. He is indeed the top administrator of Longmen, but that is limited to the main city area."

This is the first time Xia Fengdao has heard this statement.

"What do you mean? Doesn't the slum belong to Longmen's territory? Wei Yanwu can't even control it?"

"No, no, no, of course the slums belong to Longmen, Wei Yanwu can also take care of it, but well, he doesn't want to take care of it, or in other words, there are people who can manage it better than him. Even the Guards Bureau will not easily interfere with the slums. matter."

Xia Feng probably understood. According to Ansuo, the Forest Rat King was not just the director of the neighborhood committee. Even Wei Yanwu had some scruples. This weight was indeed acceptable.

But if you think about it carefully, the existence of such people is not unreasonable.

Longmen is a very complex place. In a sense, it is not too much to call it the crossroads of the eastern part of the Terra world. To develop a mobile city-state to this scale, Wei Yanwu alone is not enough.

Just like a company going public, when the accumulated power reaches a bottleneck, more things need to be brought together to expand the whole, pass through the clouds, and step into a higher realm.

This support probably comes from three aspects.

First, political stability, in addition to internal stability, must also ensure good international relations and build a strong urban defense army.

Second, economic stability requires attracting foreign investment and capital operations from large families and consortiums.

Third, the internal security is stable. The story of cat and mouse no longer needs to be repeated. Cats can only deter those naive mice. The cake in Longmen is too fragrant. Many experienced professional mice will run rampant here. At this time, it is necessary to The Rat King, who has a tacit understanding with cats and even cat owners, comes to deal with unruly rats.

The structure of Gantry is too complicated. Organizations like Penguin Logistics only exist between second and third place. Making money is their first priority. As for dealing with rats, as long as it does not offend their interests, they have no energy to deal with it.

In the city of Notting in Victoria, the second and third places are almost taken by Xia Feng alone. He is both the "Rat King" and the economic pillar, and has a tacit understanding with the army. The mayor only needs to stay in the office and drink. Tea.

However, in the Gantry structure, this situation of one company being the only one cannot be realized. Win-win players from several aspects support each other and at the same time check and balance each other.

The dark side of Longmen is in the hands of the Forest Rat King.

The political power of Longmen was in the hands of Wei Yanwu.

The economic lifeline should be in the hands of a certain big business family.

After thinking about this, Xia Feng immediately felt that there should be room for easing the relationship between him and Longmen, at least the jailbreak matter should be settled.

However, some means are needed.

Ansuo said just now that even the Guards Bureau would not easily interfere in the affairs of the slums, which meant that it was relatively safe for him to escape from prison.

But although the police will not come to arrest him, those men in black will not care about the Rat King.

Those men in black want to kill him, and his most important task at the moment is to catch those men in black and figure out who in Victoria is behind this transnational assassination.

However, Xia Feng still had conditions to fulfill before encountering the man in black.

First, he needs to get in touch with Penguin Logistics.

Second, if he couldn't get the support of Penguin Logistics, he would at least get the Source Stone in the slums, even if it was just one.
