Arknights is too real, right?

Raging snowflakes fell one after another, and the biting cold wind blew by.

Looking around, there are pedestrians on the road who are hunching their necks and tightening their collars. The air is filled with the cold and dryness of the North.

Unlike Victoria, the pedestrians on the road at this time have the same characteristics, with round ears on their heads.

Late last night, Franka drove the helicopter out of Longmen. After arriving in Ursus, the helicopter stopped at a hidden location. Afterwards, Xia Feng and Weina rushed to a city.

daytime.

The city where Xia Feng is now is no stranger to him. Three years later, the name of this city will be spread all over the world.

Its name is Chernobog.

There was a thin layer of snow on the road, and Xia Feng and Vina walked side by side on the streets of Chernobog.

The winter in Ursus is long. Looking at the familiar street shadows, Xia Feng remembered that it was also winter when he first appeared here with bare feet.

However, it was not the same winter anymore. The black and white twins entered the 8th cycle. Unknowingly, it has been nearly a year since he came to this world.

The past is still vivid in his mind, Chernobog has not changed much, but he is no longer the same person as before.

He is no longer the confused, helpless time traveler who doesn't even know where to eat his next meal. He is now the founder of Black Wings.

Usas people are naturally sensitive. When they saw him and Vina, two foreigners, walking on the street, pedestrians cast suspicious glances from time to time.

However, Xia Feng completely ignored this look. As he walked, he saw a fruit stall on the roadside.

He remembered this fruit stand. Eight months ago, he asked the owner of the fruit stand what year it was.

At that time, the boss told him impatiently that it was now the year 1093 of the Terra calendar.

Snowflakes fell on Xia Feng's shoulders, and he whispered to Wei Na next to him.

"Vina, do you still remember the first time we met?"

Wei Na slightly raised the corners of her mouth, showing her memory.

"Is it that warehouse or that alley?"

"That warehouse should no longer be there. After all, you kicked the door open at that time."

The smile on Vina's face grew wider.

"I couldn't help it. I was in a hurry at the time, and I almost killed you later in the alley."

Xia Feng turned his head and looked at Wei Na.

"Did you really plan to kill me?"

"certainly."

"Are you really going to do it?"

"I didn't know you at the time. If you hadn't been stopped by those two little guys, you wouldn't have a chance to chat with me now."

Xia Feng laughed.

"Haha, that's right, if it weren't for Crowe"

Having said this, Xia Feng's expression suddenly froze.

"Vina, do you remember what the two little guys who appeared in the alley looked like?"

"I had forgotten about it a long time ago. Besides, it was so dark at the time that I couldn't see it clearly."

"No impression at all?"

"No impression, what's wrong?"

Xia Feng's expression was very complicated. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said calmly.

"nothing."

Xia Feng raised his head and looked at the sky, and saw snowflakes falling one by one.

"Vina, if time could go back again, would we still meet in Chernobog?"

Veena looked at him like an idiot.

"Are you stupid? How can you start time again?"

"I mean what if."

Vina thought for a moment.

"Well, I never thought that we might know each other, or that we might pass each other like strangers."

"Is it."

"Isn't that the case? Why do you ask this question suddenly?"

Xia Feng glanced at the fruit stall passing by.

"Nothing, just asking casually."

Wei Na is right. If time could be repeated, there would be countless possibilities. The reason why there are countless possibilities is that time cannot be repeated.

While talking, the two turned around a street. This street was not the main street, and there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the road.

After taking a look at the house number on the street sign, Xia Feng took out a note from his pocket.

What was written on the note was an address in the north of Chernobyl. This address was recorded during the phone call with Dr. Kane before coming to Ursus.

According to the address on the note, Xia Feng and Weina wandered around the north area of ​​Qicheng for a long time. Finally, they found their destination at the end of an almost deserted street.

This is a dilapidated shop. The door is covered with thick cotton curtains, and the windows are covered with frost, making it impossible to see the situation inside the shop.

Xia Feng carefully confirmed the address. After confirming that it was correct, he lifted the cotton curtain and walked in with Wei Na.

After walking in, the interior is as shabby as the store's appearance. The light is dim and a few rusty shelves can be seen.

There was a small stove placed in the center of the room. The stove radiated heat, making the interior of this small shop warmer.

Xia Feng looked at the shelves beside the wall. Most of them were empty, with only some small boxes placed on the middle compartment, which looked like medicines.

Based on first impression alone, this is a drugstore.

"Excuse me. Is there anyone?"

Hearing Xia Feng's voice, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked out.

This man was wearing a white coat and looked a little tired. Although he tried to appear relaxed, the bloodshot eyes could not be hidden.

"Sir, do you want to buy medicine?"

Xia Feng glanced at the shelves.

"What medicines do you have here?"

The middle-aged man replied calmly.

"There is not a complete range of medicines now. Cold medicines, antipyretics, and other conventional medicines are still available. I wonder what you need?"

"The medicine I want is rare."

"What is your name?"

"Azazel."

Under the surprised gaze of the middle-aged man, Xia Feng untied the scarf around his neck, revealing the Originium crystal attached to his skin.

Seeing Xia Feng's actions, the middle-aged man seemed to understand something. He immediately closed the door of the shop and locked it inside.

"Are you an infected person?"

"That's right."

"Do you need our assistance? We can find a way to suppress your oriosis, but there is a shortage of drugs now."

Xia Feng put the scarf back on and gently shook his head.

"I need assistance, but I don't need medical assistance. I want to see the administrator of this clinic."

The middle-aged man was stunned.

"Who are you?"

"I am from Victoria and a friend of Dr. Kane. My name is Xia Feng."

This middle-aged man seemed to know the name Xia Feng, which was not surprising. Dr. Kane had already reported the situation in Victoria to Azazel headquarters, and mentioned Xia Feng many times on the phone to help him.

The middle-aged man quickly walked to the inside of the store, picked up the phone and dialed.

"General, someone wants to see you. It's Xia Feng from Victoria."

This remote clinic in the city is [Azazel]. It is a clinic that still provides assistance to infected people despite the tense situation in Ursus.

Dr. Kane once mentioned Azazel's current manager to Xia Feng. Of course, Dr. Kane's words were not detailed, but his words all revealed the manager's strength and heartfelt respect.
