Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 267 21 years ago
The concentrated area of ​​infected people outside the city of Notting is closed at 8 o'clock every night, and a curfew is imposed inside.

Xia Feng is not in a hurry now, but the desire to know the answer in his heart still makes him impatient, so he is too lazy to ink with the military police guarding the gate.

Parking the off-road vehicle on the side of the road, Xia Feng took advantage of the night to touch the wall alone, and jumped into it.

The muddy street was deserted, and it was so dark that there was not even a street light. According to the memory of the day, Xia Feng turned around along the alley, and it took a full half an hour to find the small second floor of Mr. Derek.

The yard was surrounded by a wooden fence, Xia Feng went in directly, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door.

"Open the door, Penguin Logistics!"

After a while, the lights inside came on, and the voice of old man Derek came from inside.

"Who is it!"

"It's me, Xia Feng."

The door was opened, and Derek, who was wrapped in a blanket, poked his head out.

"Why are you here again? Where is Nanfeng?"

"Nanfeng is at home, this time I'm the only one here."

When Xia Feng said that he came alone, Derek's expression changed immediately. He narrowed his eyes, and his voice changed from rough and rough to deep.

"What are you doing here?"

Xia Feng turned from a hippie smile to a serious one.

"I have something to ask you about Nanfeng."

"Didn't you ask everything you wanted to ask during the day?"

"I did ask, but you didn't answer me."

"What do you want to know?"

"the truth."

On the sofa in the living room, Xia Feng and Derek were sitting on one side.

Perhaps because he was worried that the light would attract attention, Derek turned off the light and lit a candle on the coffee table. The room was dim, and the faint light of the candle reflected on the faces of the two of them, erratically.

Derek's voice came.

"What do you want to know."

"What is Nanfeng's identity?"

Xia Feng didn't want to beat around the bush, Mr. Derek definitely knew something, because his current attitude had already explained everything.

It can be seen that Derek did not intend to hide it as much as possible. His attitude is more like a kind of boredom and exhaustion. This may be a big secret, but for him who is dying now, this The importance of a secret is no longer worth guarding to the death.

But even so, he had no intention of casually telling a stranger.

Derek's old face turned to the candlelight.

"It might be a good thing not to know the truth of some things. For things that cannot be changed, it's better to pretend that they don't exist."

Xia Feng turned his head sideways.

"When you think it doesn't exist, it's just your self-deception. Even if everyone forgets, some things still exist. As long as they exist, they will surface sooner or later."

"So what if it surfaced, that kind of thing can't be changed by people like us."

"can change."

"Oh? Who will change it, Nanfeng? Oh, don't be naive."

Xia Feng looked at Derek quietly.

"I'm here to change."

"you?"

To be honest, even if Derek didn't tell him the truth, Xia Feng guessed it based on his feeling. He had an intuition that this matter had something to do with the major event predicted by Yuan Shan.

Although Victoria seems to be calm now, when the storm really starts to spin, everyone involved will be involved, including Wei Na.

"Mr. Derek, do you believe in fate?"

"destiny?"

"That's right, I didn't believe in fate before, but now I have a little understanding. I think fate does not represent destiny, nor is it impossible to change, but something that the person must experience. If you want to move forward, you must overcome it. No one can escape their own destiny."

The trance candlelight reflected in Derek's pupils.

"what do you want to say in the end."

Xia Feng said in a deep voice.

"Nanfeng has his own destiny. This is something he cannot escape. Maybe in your eyes, he can remain anonymous and spend his whole life as a member of a gangster, but the fate of this country will not allow it."

"What do you mean?"

"There will be a major event in Victoria in the near future. This is a crisis that can subvert this country. I don't know what Nanfeng's true identity is, but if his identity is related to it, he cannot escape."

An imperceptible shake flashed in Derek's pupils.

"So what, even if you can't escape him, you still can't change anything. It's not that I underestimate him. Human power is limited, and the things he faces are beyond imagination."

"can change."

"What do you know?"

"I really don't know, but I'm sure it can change, no, it has to."

Derek stared at Xia Feng's face solemnly.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm the one who changed history."

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and Derek and Xia Feng looked at each other for a long, long time.

Eventually, his eyes loosened.

"Ah."

Derek picked up another candle, lit it and placed it side by side with the previous one on the coffee table. With the increase of candles, the light in the room became much stronger.

Derek leaned back on the sofa, losing his aggression. At this moment, he was just a dying old man.

"Well, I don't really understand what you're saying, but I'm tired, I'm really tired, and I thought I was going to take these things to my grave, but now I decided to say it, like you said, If you're going to change something, do it, if you can."

Xia Feng solemnly lowered his head.

"Thank you."

"Tell me what you want to know."

"Tell me everything you know, and leave the rest to me to change."

Everyone has a selfish side, and everyone is no exception. Derek can see that Xia Feng just wants to get the information he wants to know from him to complete a plan that he doesn't know at all.

It’s just that it’s not important to him now, whether to say it or not, the ore disease has caused his organs to fail to a bad state, every night he will be tortured by pain, and every day the sun rises, he will treat it as an adult in his life. last seen.

If that is the sin he once committed, then before he dies, give this mistake the possibility of redemption.

Therefore, he chose to believe in Xia Feng. The more important reason was that Nan Feng believed in Xia Feng. This was the first time since Derek adopted Nan Feng that he accepted an outsider.

The blood flowing in Nanfeng's bones is pride, and the people he can trust are definitely not ordinary people.

Derek took out a small box from under the coffee table and dusted it off. He took out a badge from the box, which was a Victorian military coat of arms.

The face under the candlelight has sunken eye sockets, full of traces of the years, and the old melancholy voice seems to bring back the memory of a long, long time ago.

"The beginning of this matter starts from 21 years ago."
