"You're dead, Sakura, now it's my turn." Eri spoke to Lu Mingfei who was sitting next to her, gently pulling Lu Mingfei's sleeve with her hand.

"I know. Here you go..." Lu Mingfei handed the Famicom controller in his hand to Eri helplessly.

Eri held the crimson square handle and concentrated on controlling Mario to begin his adventure.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Eiry who didn't pay any attention to him and sighed secretly.

A long time had passed since he talked with Lu Lincheng, during which time Eri and Ling woke up together.

In order to make them recuperate here without getting bored, Lu Lincheng specially brought a Nintendo Famicom from somewhere.

Looking at this small red and white box and the big-bottom TV on the hospital bed, Lu Mingfei felt as if he had returned to his childhood.

Before Lu Lincheng left home, Lu Mingfei had already wanted to play this game console.

But until he was sent to his uncle's house, he had no chance to play this legendary first-generation Nintendo game console.

Later, when some of his classmates had children, Lu Mingfei would follow them around like a little tail, running errands for them every day, just so that he could have the opportunity to see them play when his classmates were having fun.

But whenever he managed to sneak into his classmates' homes to watch them play games, he would often be driven away by their parents.

Now Lu Lincheng still remembers that Lu Mingfei wanted a Famicom, but at this time, Lu Mingfei was no longer interested in the plumber who went on adventures in overalls.

Even though Lu Lincheng has been trying to make up for it with clumsy methods, this missing childhood is gone like time and will never come back.

"Eat some fruit?" A white arm stretched out from the side. Lu Mingfei raised his head and it was Ling.

Lu Mingfei didn't even know when she went out to wash the fruit and cut it into small, delicate pieces.

"No, you and Eri can eat it." Lu Mingfei shook his head and stared blankly out the hospital window.

"Still thinking about...their affairs?" Ling asked Lu Mingfei hesitantly.

They were referring to Chu Zihang and Caesar's group. Zero's last memory was fighting against the dragon-like sperm whale with them.

"Maybe things are not that bad, they may still be alive." Zero continued.

At the last moment, she vaguely saw the long-missing boy, and carved the words "Black Swan Port" on the deck according to his instructions.

I guess he asked him to do this probably to provide clues to those people?

If that was the case, then those people would definitely not die so easily at the hands of a dragon-like sperm whale.

"I hope so..." Lu Mingfei sighed. He didn't know what the situation was like outside. Now he was like a bird in a cage.

"Are you feeling well?"

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at the thin girl in front of him. Before Ling woke up, the doctor had already carefully examined her body.

Her body is now full of holes and the doctor said she might collapse at any time.

Lu Mingfei guessed that it was most likely because of the Dragon-Breaking Platform that caused her body to suffer a backlash.

After all, it is impossible for an alchemical item that allows one to surpass the Dragon King in an instant to be without any side effects.

Later, at Lu Lincheng's suggestion, the doctor drew Lu Mingfei's blood and transfused it to Ling.

According to him, the physical strength of a hybrid is linked to its bloodline. If Zero were to receive a transfusion of blood from other high-level hybrids, perhaps his body could be slowly repaired.

The doctor did as he was told. He originally thought that Zero would still not wake up, but after giving her the first blood transfusion, she miraculously woke up.

"There's no big problem for now." Zero's voice didn't fluctuate at all, as if the problem wasn't with his body.

"Dad said that the dragon serum that was once researched here can keep your body out of danger, but it will take some time to redevelop it." Lu Mingfei said.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Mingfei temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going out to look for Chu Zihang and the others.

According to Lu Lincheng, dragon serum also needs to be compatible. Now it seems that Lu Mingfei's blood can wake Ling up without any side effects, so it is the most suitable.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't understand the experiment very well, he inexplicably thought of Gu Ye.

The previous hybrid monarch plan used Gu Ye's blood to neutralize the power of the Dragon King. I have participated in this plan, and perhaps because of this, my blood is relatively mild?

"Thank you..." Ling was silent for a moment, then thanked Lu Mingfei.

"It's okay, it's what I should do." Lu Mingfei said.

Ever since the battle with the White King ended that day and Lu Mingze entrusted Ling to him, Lu Mingfei seemed to have never taken good care of the girl.

On the contrary, it was Ling who always took care of herself meticulously. Now that the girl was about to collapse from using the Dragon-Breaking Platform, Lu Mingfei certainly couldn't just sit back and watch.

"Sukura, do you want to play with us?" Eri on the side finally came back to her senses from Mario's attraction. After seeing Zero, she invited Lu Mingfei.

"Okay, I'll play with you again." Lu Mingfei turned around and sat next to Eri. Eri didn't know that the others were in danger yet, Lu Mingfei just told her that the others were busy.

In his eyes, Eri was still that innocent girl, so he instinctively chose to hide this matter.

After taking the controller, Lu Mingfei sat on a small stool and sat next to Eiry in front of the big-butt TV, each holding a controller, and played Contra.

Ling was sitting aside, staring at the snow scene outside the window in a daze, as if he was recalling something.

In the evening, Lu Mingfei was lying on the bed. A researcher was carefully drawing his blood, while Qiao Weini was accompanying Lu Mingfei.

Only after the blood was drawn did she rub Lu Mingfei's head and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mingfei."

"This is what I should do to save Ling." Lu Mingfei said, recalling the lonely figure in his mind.

Maybe she was already prepared to die when she used the Dragon-Breaking Platform?
He had vaguely guessed that Lu Mingze might only have one last chance to help him, and Lu Mingfei didn't know what would happen after this chance was used up.

But he was sure that the reason why Ling used the Dragon-Breaking Platform without hesitation was most likely because he wanted to leave with Lu Mingze.

But what about Lu Mingze? Lu Mingfei knew very well how much that little devil cared about Ling. Although he hated him, Lu Mingfei was not going to break his promise.

No matter what, Lu Mingfei must rescue Ling, no matter what the cost.

"Mingfei has grown up and is like a real man." Qiao Weini smiled and spoke to Lu Mingfei.

"You care so much about that Russian girl, who is your girlfriend among those two girls? Mom thinks that Japanese girl cares about you too..."

"Mom..." Lu Mingfei showed a hint of shyness on his face, but he still opened his mouth to explain.

"Zero is a friend, Eri is my girlfriend."

"I see. Mom also likes that Japanese girl." Qiao Weini touched Lu Mingfei's head, with a hint of something different hidden in her eyes.

"Are you free tomorrow? I want to go shopping here with you." Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke.

Lu Mingfei had almost figured out what was being researched here, which was probably about preserving the last trace of human bloodline.

Most of the time, Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini would work with other researchers to collect samples of some organisms and plants on the earth.

Although Lu Mingfei knew that this kind of work was very busy, he still couldn't help but want to be willful for once. He wanted to go shopping with his parents like he did when he was a child.

"Now that you say so, of course we have time. Just bring your girlfriend along and we can have a good day together as a family." Qiao Weini said softly.

"Thank you, Mom." Lu Mingfei was a little touched.

"Silly child, why are you thanking your mother? It's almost time for today. Take a rest first. I'll come to see you tomorrow." After saying this, Qiao Weini turned around and left the ward.

"I really don't know if this is a dream or not. If it is a dream, I hope I can do it longer..." Lu Mingfei muttered to himself while looking at the ceiling.

Midnight, Rei and Eri's hospital room.

Hearing the sound of Eri sleeping, Ling secretly opened her eyes. She glanced at Eri and saw that she was not awakened, so she got up carefully.

She knew Black Swan Harbor very well, as she had escaped from there, but here... Zero had a vague feeling of unreality.

Even after all this time, and even if Black Swan Harbor had undergone other changes, this feeling shouldn't have occurred.

Looking at the snow in the distance outside the window, Ling thought that maybe it was just because Siberia was too big, and this place might just be a part of Black Swan Port.

She didn't want to stay here any longer. The backs of Eiry and Lu Mingfei leaning against each other reminded her of Zero.

She knew that she didn't have much time left. Now that Lu Mingfei had found his parents, she was no longer responsible for his safety. She also had to find her own safe haven.

Zero hadn't appeared for a long time, and Zero had a very strange idea. Maybe Zero was waiting for him at the old port, and he would definitely find Zero if he went there.

He quietly changed his shoes, without hesitation, opened the window, and climbed out of the hospital.

Although the nights in the Arctic Circle are equally dark, the moonlight is much brighter than in other places. Ling remembers that in the past, she would also sneak out with the help of the moonlight.

This made her feel like she was back in her childhood. Under the moonlight, Zero walked across the basketball court in the hospital atrium and slowly walked towards the gate.

She didn't know where she was now, but as long as she was within the Black Swan Harbor, she believed she would be able to find the old site of the experimental base.

However, just as she placed her hand on the handle of the hospital door, a hand stopped her movement.

Zero turned his head in surprise, and the boy's eyes narrowed, revealing a playful smile that she was very familiar with.

"My girl, now is not the time to go out..."
