Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 839
At dusk, there was no setting sun in the sky, but the already dark sky became darker.

Under the dead tree.

Xia Feng, who had sensed that someone was approaching, did not open his eyes.

It wasn't until the man and woman stopped very close in front of him and didn't intend to leave that Xia Feng opened his eyes slightly.

It seems that Hedley didn't expect to meet Xia Feng here. His expression was a little surprised at first, and then he spoke.

"summer"

"Are you alright."

The name "Xia Feng" was interrupted before it could be fully called out.

After all, Hedley and Xia Feng only met once. Seeing his reaction, Hedley frowned slightly, as if wondering if he had admitted the wrong person.

"are you."

Xia Feng did not deny it.

"it's me."

"I remember your name is Xia"

"My name is Zhang San."

"what?"

"I changed my name, now it's Zhang San."

To be honest, Hedley doesn't have any subjective impression of Xia Feng, and meeting here inexplicably at this moment feels like suddenly seeing the boss of a listed company sweeping the road in a village in the city.

In short, there is an indescribable sense of incongruity.

"Three brothers Xia and Zhang, why are you here?"

Xia Feng's voice was very cold.

"For some reason, I became a mercenary."

"Are you a mercenary?"

"Is there any problem, or do you think people like me are not worthy of being a mercenary?"

"No, no, you misunderstood."

Hedley didn't expect Xia Feng to speak so aggressively. He and Ogur are old friends. In Colombia, Ogur warmly introduced Xia Feng to him.

Although the occasion of meeting was a little weird, but out of politeness, Hedley just wanted to chat with Xia Feng like acquaintances.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm very good."

"Do you need help."

Xia Feng could tell that Hedley's eyes were very sincere, but he still didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

"No, I live well alone, I don't want to be disturbed, thank you."

Seeing Xia Feng's cold attitude, Hedley sighed.

"Then let's go first. My team and I are stationed on the west side of the barracks. If you need anything, you can come to me."

Ines who was next to him didn't speak from the beginning to the end, she was quietly staring at Xia Feng.

It's just that Xia Feng at this moment is like a stone, without any emotion, and even her special Originium skill can't discern anything.

However, her intuition told her that Xia Feng was not as simple as a lone mercenary.

late at night.

Xia Feng didn't go to collect food all day, he just sat quietly under the dead tree, because tonight is the last night.

The cold wind was biting, and he lifted the scarf so that only his eyes were exposed.

As time passed, his eyes became colder and colder.

"Crack!"

The sound of dead branches being trampled came from behind him, Xia Feng didn't move his body, he didn't even reach for the Shenyue Saber on his waist, even if he didn't turn his head, he could still guess who was approaching him in the middle of the night.

"Are you okay?"

Hedley's burly figure appeared behind him, walked to Xia Feng's side, and he lightly threw a blanket on Xia Feng's body.

"It's cold at night, put on your clothes."

"I said, I don't need help."

"It's not helping you."

Hedley bent down and sat down next to Xia Feng.

"Some people say that helping others is equal to helping yourself. This sentence is more applicable in our mercenary circle, because you can never predict who will stab a dagger in your back next."

Xia Feng didn't know the real mercenary circle, but hearing Hedley's tone, he could already imagine the cruelty of this circle.

For the sake of profit, sometimes it is not necessarily the enemy who swings the knife at you, but it may also be your trusted friend.

Xia Feng did not refuse the blanket.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Exhaling comfortably, Hedley took a flagon from his waist.

"Do you want a drink, Zhang?"

Looking at Hedley's eyes, Xia Feng seemed to be relieved, and he secretly glanced at the time on his bracelet.

"Just call me Xia Feng."

After finishing speaking, Xia Feng took the jug from Hedley's hand, raised his head and took a sip.

This is a very spicy spirit, and it can also be called a very poor quality wine. Compared with the Victoria Reserve red wine he drank before, it is the difference between heaven and hell.

But when the strong wine entered his throat, he felt that this wine was very delicious, as if it could perfectly fit his repressed heart.

After wiping his mouth, Xia Feng handed the jug back to Hedley.

Hedley took the jug boldly, and took a big gulp into his own mouth.

"Ah, it's been a long time since I drank with outsiders."

"An outsider?"

Hedley smiled honestly.

"Don't mind, I'm just like this. I never beat around the bush when I speak. For me, as long as I am not someone who can entrust my back, I can be called an outsider."

Hearing these words, Xia Feng's expression that had been cold for several days finally revealed a smile.

"Outsiders, I like this title, it's very real."

After exchanging a few words, they both knew each other clearly that the other was a person with a story.

It's just these stories, they may not have the opportunity to know each other in detail.

Sitting side by side in the night wind, Hedley's voice was a little melancholy, and some words might only be said to "outsiders".

"Xia Feng, do you think this world can still be saved?"

As a mercenary, this was obviously a very abrupt sentence, but Xia Feng heard it and understood what Hedley was thinking.

"I do not know."

"Yeah, who knows."

"Hedley, if you want to save it, you can try."

Hedley laughed to himself.

"Stop joking, I can't even save my companions, how can I save the world? I'm not afraid of your jokes, my biggest wish before going to bed every day is to see the sun tomorrow."

Xia Feng's eyes were a little gloomy.

"You are right, even though this is a world that is gradually collapsing, compared with the remaining lifespan of the infected, the speed of the world's withering is still too slow, so slow that no one will care, no one will care about their own death What people can see is only the immediate interests.”

Perhaps it was because the topic was inexplicably heavy, Hedley took another sip of wine on his own, and then said.

"Oh, you don't need to be so pessimistic. By the way, I can tell you an interesting thing."

"what's up?"

Hedley's expression was slightly mysterious, like a drinker who was about to brag in a tavern.

"After the civil strife in Kazdel ended, my companions and I boarded a huge mobile ship. You can never imagine how big that ship is. Not only is it big, but there are many things in it that we can't dream of. technological equipment."

Xia Feng's eyes flickered.

"Huge mobile ship? Where is it?"

"Well that big guy has been moving, and I was around the Minoan border when I left."

Speaking of this, Hedley seemed to recall some past events, and his eyes were a little complicated.

There was guilt, self-blame, confusion, and unwillingness. In the end, there was a glimmer of hope in his voice.

"If it's the people on that ship, maybe they can save the world."
