Arknights is too real, right?

Something we work hard for but still can’t do.

Xia Feng knew what the bagpipe was talking about. It was not referring to a specific incident, but a conflict that existed in the entire country or the entire world - the dispute between infected people.

The night sky was blowing, and the bagpipe seemed inappropriate for such a heavy topic. She quickly returned to her lively nature and said with a smile.

"Actually, I don't like being a soldier."

Xia Feng asked softly.

"So what do you like to do?"

Under Bagpipe's neat military uniform, there is a look of yearning on his face.

"Compared with joining the army, I prefer the quiet and plain life in the fields, a hut, a field, the anticipation when sowing, and the joy when harvesting."

As he spoke, Bagpipe unconsciously stretched out his hand towards the dark night sky.

"You said, where should a person's hometown end? Is it the house farthest from the tractor, or the junction between the earth and the blue sky, or the red and blue bars that are constantly being redrawn on the map? Sometimes when staying in a cold military camp I may even suddenly forget what my hometown looks like.”

Xia Feng could tell that although Bagpipe was a senior officer in the Northern Military Region, in her heart, what she wanted more was to live a simple and simple life.

"With your abilities, that kind of life should be easy to achieve. Why do you want to become a soldier?"

Bagpipe withdrew his hand from the night sky.

"Because I think someone has to do this kind of thing."

The sound of the bagpipe contains a hint of yearning, but more importantly, it is a kind of persistent determination.

"Tranquility needs to be protected. In order to let more people live the life I long for, I need to take up arms and defend the justice in my heart. If one day, my country no longer needs my protection, then I will not do anything. I don’t hesitate to throw away my weapons and pursue my dreams, even if it’s just me.”

After saying this, Bagpipe's eyes flashed.

"Of course, if someone is willing to join me at that time, I will be happier."

The bagpipe depicts a dream, a dream that is within reach but out of reach.

It may sound contradictory to be within reach yet out of reach, but in a specific environment, this is the fact.

If you have a selfish mentality, Bagpipe can give up everything and stay away from disputes. The world is so big, and if you keep traveling, you will one day find your ideal place.

But she didn't.

Just like Wei Na, she did not abandon her hometown, even if her existence was only insignificant, she did not abandon the responsibility of protecting it.

For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle, and the bagpipe tapped his head lightly.

"Ahaha, I'm sorry, I suddenly said some inexplicable words. I'm still on a mission."

Xia Feng didn't mind at all.

"It's okay. I'm not that serious. I quite like chatting with you. I feel very relaxed."

"Hey, me too."

After adjusting his emotions, Bagpipe took a deep breath.

"Actually, there's nothing I'm not used to in my current life. Girls from the Waifan tribe just want to keep getting stronger. If I hadn't gone to the Guards College, I wouldn't have known Chen Chen, let alone talking to you at this moment. Okay. Okay, no more chatting."

Xia Feng didn't know if he could do what Bagpipe said: "We work hard but still can't do it."

He could give it a try if he thought it was necessary.

Of course, maybe he is on the way to "success" now. At present, he must perfectly solve this infected crime incident.

Approaching the village, the two put away their relaxed attitude and began to move forward cautiously.

It's not too late now, it's only after 9 o'clock, but the whole village is pitch black without any light. Perhaps the poor and simple infected area does not have electricity in the first place.

Village entrance.

The checkpoints previously manned by military police were empty, and the doors and windows of the guard building were smashed and damaged.

After entering the village, Xia Feng focused his attention and reached out with his left hand to the Shenyue Sword at his waist.

"Bagpipe, hide behind me and be careful."

"kindness."

The houses in the village were built crookedly and there was no straight road at all. After walking for about 5 minutes, Xia Feng finally came to a relatively open area.

Although the night was dark, Xia Feng could still tell that this was an area similar to an "intersection" in the center of the village, and there was a well made of rocks in the center of the intersection.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, Xia Feng suddenly noticed an object as big as a fist being thrown towards him rapidly in the darkness.

"Snapped!"

The next second, the Shenyue Sword was unsheathed like lightning, cutting the "hidden weapon" into pieces in mid-air. Judging from the touch of the blade, it seemed to be just an ordinary stone.

Although it does not constitute a life threat, this behavior is undoubtedly full of malicious intent.

Xia Feng shouted while holding the knife.

"Who threw it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, the whole village lit up with large lights.

Every household opened its doors and windows. Men, women, old and young were holding various lanterns, flashlights, and even torches. Everyone walked out of their homes and stared at Xia Feng and the two with unkind expressions.

It seems that these infected residents are not sleeping, but are always on guard.

Bagpipe looked around cautiously. There were many residents, and most of the men held crude weapons in their hands.

"Xia Feng, be careful and try not to anger them."

Unexpectedly, the bagpipe persuaded him, and Xia Feng nodded.

Afterwards, Xia Feng stood up straight, inserted the Shenyue Sword silently back into his waist, showed a friendly smile, and shouted to the residents.

"It's so late and everyone is still awake."

In the crowd, several slightly stronger middle-aged men clenched the wooden sticks and shovels in their hands.

"Who are you?"

Xia Feng calmly took out his ID and showed it to the crowd.

"I am the director of the Special Operations Division of the Supervision Office. My name is"

Before he could finish his words, the crowd suddenly let out an angry roar.

"They are the lackeys of the empire. They come here specifically to harm us infected people. We cannot let them capture people and make it difficult for us to survive. We have to make them pay the price. Compatriots, strike first!"

Everyone's eyes turned red with anger when they heard that Xia Feng's identity was from the Supervision Office and that he was using inflammatory language.

"Kick them out!"

"Kill them!"

"Let me know if you run away, don't leave anyone alive!"

The men, women, and children nearby shouted and raised their weapons, and even the trembling old woman was holding a kettle and planning to join the battle.

Looking at the "mob" charging towards him aggressively, Xia Feng quickly added.

"Don't get excited, everyone, my name is Xia Feng!"

He didn't know if there was any use in reporting his name, and he didn't know if it could temporarily calm the infected people, but after all, he couldn't let the misunderstanding get worse.

However, what surprised Xia Feng was that after he said "My name is Xia Feng", the infected people, who were so excited that they seemed to have lost their minds, instantly stopped where they were.

They all looked surprised, and then they looked a little unsure.

But even if they were unsure about something, no one continued to use violence impulsively.

Everyone made doubtful sounds

"You said your name is Xia Feng?"

"Which summer breeze? The southern summer breeze?"

"Is it Xia Feng from the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce? The one who provides free assistance to my infected people?"
