Arknights is too real, right?

As the saying goes, those who do not know are fearless. This unknown does not refer to the "unknown", but does not even know the "unknown" itself.

Obviously, the residents of Dongguo fall into this category.

Of course, some people may have heard some rumors about the sea through various channels, but they were selectively ignored in the end.

The people of Dongguo are very good at obtaining food from the sea, and even though there are vague rumors, they still continue to do so.

There are two main reasons for this.

First, their boats are very small and broken, and they never go to the open sea. Even if the boat sinks, people can just swim back.

Two, they really like to eat fish.

The people of the East are not afraid of the sea, and they are not afraid of the summer wind either.

He is not fearless if he does not know, but he does not panic at all when he knows, because his friends come from the deep sea, and he has also chopped enemies from the deep sea into pieces.

Of course, these are not all of the deep sea. All signs indicate that there is something beyond imagination in the deep sea.

The few words he said back in the Longmen Year, as well as the things Skadi didn't want to mention, all proved that this kind of existence was very special.

Perhaps the world he was in was affected by that existence.

But then again, that's why he's not afraid.

He wished that the thing would climb ashore and cause trouble for him right now, just so he could see what it was and whether it was edible.

Several people stood on the beach, watching the sunset gradually disappear.

There is no way further south. For them, this is the "end of the world" and the final destination.

Matomaru put his hands behind his head and stretched.

"Oh, this is such a great place, congratulations."

Xia Feng heard the meaning of Matomaru's words.

"Matomaru, are you really not going to live with us?"

"No, your journey is over, but my journey has just begun."

Matomaru stretched her hands up into the sky, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. She knew the world was big and she wanted to see it.

"I have seen a lot of things along the way with you. After that, I will go north to Shenye Bay to see the legendary temple. Then, I may leave Dongguo."

Everyone has their own ambitions, and excessive retention is not appropriate.

For Xia Feng, the future path of some people is something he has witnessed from another perspective.

"Matomaru, you will definitely find an organization that suits you and become an excellent operator."

Matomaru showed the same confusion as Bagpipe.

"What is an operator?"

This time Xia Feng did not prevaricate, but said solemnly.

"He is the knight of the Ark!"

Because of his interference, some people's life trajectories were affected.

Xia Feng didn't know if Wei Na, Turtle and the others would join Rhode Island one day in the future, and he didn't know if Red Knife and Frost Star would still join the integration movement.

He is not God, and the three-year view of God has become increasingly ineffective.

But there is a bright side to a hopeless world.

Just like the scenery in front of you right now.

The Victoria Incident consumed almost everything he had, including the increasingly severe ore disease, missing right eye, unbalanced strength, tattered body, and self-exiled identity.

Of course, he has no regrets. If he is given a chance to choose again, he will still help Wei Na save her hometown. No matter how much he pays, he will not regret it.

It didn't matter what happened to him, but he never wanted to experience the feeling of losing a companion again.

If you stand at a high enough position, you can see the essence of some things from a higher perspective.

He can save the fallen Victoria, and is even sure to intervene in the political situation of Longmen. If he works harder and fights harder, he may be able to change the cold-blooded Ursus.

But what's the use?

Everyone will die in the end. The people he cares about and the people he has saved, including himself, will eventually die of ore disease.

Just like a farmer who removes weeds, it seems that he has changed the growing environment of crops, but as long as the seeds buried deep in the ground still exist, weeds will still grow wildly in the second and third years.

You need to be there all the time. As long as you disappear, the situation will still be out of control.

Weeds are ore diseases, source stones, and natural disasters.

It's a contradiction, it's discrimination, it's opposition.

As long as the world is not completely changed, all efforts will be temporary. Wildfires will never burn out, but spring breezes will revive them.

Matomaru is a person who goes her own way. She decided to leave early tomorrow morning and embark on a lonely path of spiritual practice.

That night, Xia Feng and Bagpipe took out all the food from their bags, lit a bonfire, and prepared a rich dinner.

At the edge of the woods on the coast, Bagpipe built a simple stove with stones. The iron pot he bought in Nohara Town finally came into use.

"Uh-huh!"

The sharp Shenyue knife effortlessly split the hard coconut into two pieces, turning it into two big natural rice bowls.

Because Feng Bao wasn't used to the sea, he didn't catch any fish and only brought back a few conchs.

Together with the assorted porridge cooked by Bagpipe, as well as various dry foods and snacks, this dinner is quite decent.

After it got completely dark, three people and one dog gathered around the fire and completed the final "roadside picnic".

Xia Feng believes that the key to a truly delicious dinner is not what you eat, but who you eat it with. When he was in Victoria, he spent a lot of money and ate countless delicacies.

But at this moment, the simple gruel in the coconut bowl is as good as any exquisite food.

However, he, who has never been picky about food, was very satisfied, but his mother, Bagpipe, who was a chef, was not very satisfied.

She looked at Matomaru with some regret.

"Hey, this meal is too simple. How about you stay a few more days and I will try to make you something more delicious. There should be some edible wild vegetables around here. In fact, I can cook a lot of things."

Matomaru drank up the porridge in the coconut bowl and smiled without caring.

"It doesn't matter, the meal is delicious, and it's not like we will never see each other again. Since you have decided to live near here from now on, I will come back to see you when I have time."

With that, she handed the bowl to the bagpipe.

"one more bowl!"

Now they have nothing, and they can only sleep on the blankets in their luggage on the ground at night, but fortunately, they have found a suitable "home".

As long as the home is finalized, everything will slowly fall into place.

Xia Feng believed that when Matomaru came to see them next time, they would be able to have a truly sumptuous dinner and sleep in a safe bed.

Of course, in addition to Matomaru, there are also his friends in Victoria.

Xia Feng sometimes has a very contradictory mentality.

He sometimes wishes his friends would forget about him because he does not belong to this world.

But sometimes missing this kind of thing can make people lose their minds. Even if he becomes an ordinary person, even if he loses his former glory, he still wants to have a drink with his old friends.

Therefore, the next stage of the goal starts from now on.

When the next reunion comes, he hopes his friends will feel it from the bottom of their hearts.

Huo Yu Xia Feng lives a good life in a corner of the world far away from the hustle and bustle.
