Arknights is too real, right?

Princess Verin's summons is over.

Xia Feng left the palace like a prisoner being escorted, followed by a large number of golden sword guards. He estimated that all ordinary officials who entered the palace were basically treated this way.

On the way back, Xia Feng kept thinking about Wei Lin's words.

Obviously, she is a master of brainwashing, and he was almost deceived by Wei Lin.

From an objective perspective, there is nothing wrong with Verin's point of view. Victoria's attitude towards the infected is very friendly. Compared with countries such as Ursus, this place is a paradise for the infected.

Like she said, this is a gift.

Even if the infected person who has gained the right to survive does not repay or thank him, he has no reason to feel hatred.

On the surface, this is indeed the case, but if you look closely, this view itself has problems.

Because this framework and rules were originally constructed by the superiors.

Xia Feng can now obtain this status as an infected person only because of his extraordinary strength and courage, as well as the support of everyone in Black Feather.

But do those ordinary infected people who have no strength have to be lower than normal people?

For example, someone discovered a lake in the desert. The first person to find it took the lake private and only allowed women to drink water. Because men drank a lot of water, men had to work to take a sip.

At this time, the owner of the lake said, I allow men to exchange labor for water as a gift. In other lakes, you can't get water even if you want to work, so thank me.

As the first person to discover and construct lakes, this idea was normal in his subjective consciousness.

But in the eyes of those who seek water, without your rules and presence, can I drink more?

It was you who distinguished men and women who should be equal, okay, I can endure the humiliation in order to survive. Who asked you to discover and build the water source, but you didn't let me hate you, and you also let me thank you. This That's too much.

Of course, this idea is a bit narrow, but in the hearts of infected people who are treated differently, this is a completely normal psychology.

Without the division of rights holders, infected people should enjoy the world like normal people and receive rewards proportional to their efforts.

Obviously, Verin wants him to understand and agree with the fact that the infected in Victoria are receiving gifts, and through his influence, he can make the infected in Victoria eliminate hatred and look at the royal family with a grateful attitude.

Unfortunately, this is too idealistic.

Ordinary people are not all bad people, and infected people are not all good people. It is impossible to completely eliminate hatred.

Even if the infected do not understand the meaning of deserts and lakes, they cannot easily change from hatred to gratitude, because the unfair treatment has been accumulated in their hearts for too long.

Of course, Wei Lin does not expect Xia Feng to change the minds of all infected people. She only hopes that Xia Feng can use his influence to become a neutralizer of conflicts, at least not to let the dam break at a certain point in time.

However, Xia Feng's real thoughts were completely opposite.

If the dam is destined to collapse, no matter how much repairs are made, it will not help. What is really needed is reconstruction after the destruction.

After all the matters in Londinium were settled, Xia Feng drove back to the south that belonged to him.

There was much less snow on the road than when we arrived, and the road was smooth.

Different from the mood when he came, now that he returned with a genuine noble status, Xia Feng felt that the stone that had been pressing on his chest was finally broken.

After that, he will break free from Wuzhishan like Sun Wukong. In order to avoid the constraints of the tightening curse, he may have to knock Tang Monk to death with a stick first.

The entrance of Black Feather BBQ restaurant.

As soon as Xia Feng parked the car, Lagouzi, wearing a cotton coat, came over.

"Boss, you're back."

"Well, when did you come back?"

Lapland smiled playfully.

"Hehe, we have been back a long time ago, and the harvest this time is quite rich."

When Xia Feng opened the car door, what he was most concerned about was not the harvest.

"Did anyone get hurt in this operation?"

"Don't worry, everyone is fine."

"You haven't encountered any danger."

"We are the greatest danger."

Walking into the barbecue restaurant, Xia Feng took a look at the number of trophies that Franka and Nancy had counted together, and the result could only be described in one sentence.

I'm a turtle!

This time, using the Frost Star as the strongest insurance measure, the strongest natural disaster action team built by Black Feather swept across almost the entire eastern Terra. Based on the intelligence provided by Penguin Logistics, it continuously plundered four natural disaster areas in different countries.

Of course, two of them did not gain much due to the time gap, but the other two made a lot of money.

Just like last time in Sami, civil organizations, mercenaries, gangs, the army, and various forces were fighting in a dangerous natural disaster area.

You need to exploit but also be vigilant, you need to rob others but also prevent being robbed by others. If you cannot leave alive with the loot in the end, it will be useless no matter how fat you eat like a greedy snake.

In Heiyu's natural disaster action team, there are Red Knife and Lagouzi on guard, and almost all plunderers and disruptors will be isolated. Langda and the others only need to mine with peace of mind.

Coupled with the presence of Frost Star, if the number of troops is not large, they can even attack directly.

There are no rules in natural disaster areas. The strong survive. Everyone is fighting for the Origin Stone. No one is innocent.

As for the grudges formed, there is no need to pay attention at all, because most people will not be able to leave alive. Even if they leave, few people will seek revenge because of this. Everyone comes from different countries and forces, and it is difficult to find anyone.

After Hongdao and the others returned, the loot was also loaded in trucks. Outsiders who didn't know better thought the trucks were full of stones.

At the desk, Xia Feng stared at the report and said in surprise.

"so much?"

Lao Pu put his hands in his sleeves, like an old man popping popcorn, and nodded.

"I have already seen the goods. A rough calculation shows that after fulfilling the orders from Black Steel and Kalan Trading, we will have at least 6,000 pieces left."

Puda, who was sitting next to Lao Pu, had the same expression as his brother, and took over the conversation and continued.

"Brother Feng, Xuedi Group also sent a batch of processing orders of nearly 900 pieces a few days ago. Coupled with the quantity purchased by Casimir, I estimate that our reserves will soon exceed 10,000."

To be honest, this number is terrifying, but considering the current situation, this result is not unexpected.

Due to all the previous preparations, there are no stable private processing channels for Source Stone in the eastern region of Terra. Therefore, with Hapi City as the center, underground Source Stone from several countries will eventually be gathered here.

Lao Pu took his hand out of his sleeve and lit a cigarette.

"Xia Feng, this is a good thing, but it also increases the risk. What I mean is that with such a big move, will it be easy to attract trouble?"

A month ago, Xia Feng might have had the same concerns, but now, he doesn't care anymore.

"It doesn't matter. Our Origin Stones didn't rob the national treasury. Our brothers worked hard to get them from distant natural disaster areas. In addition, foreign organizations took the initiative to send them for processing."

Lao Pu is still a little worried.

"But this kind of thing is still too sensitive. After all, this is the Origin Stone, and the quantity is too large."

Xia Feng shook his head.

"Don't worry, our business is very hidden. Even if the trick is discovered, no one dares to touch me easily now."

Xia Feng has already understood.

If someone wants to touch you, they won't give you time to prepare, let alone what you did.

In this case, obscene development has lost its meaning, and racing against time is the way to go.

Because only in this way will you have enough capital to fight and bargaining chips when the storm comes.
