Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 45 Strange Voices

The next day, the eastern sky turned pale, and the snow that had fallen all night finally stopped.

Xia Feng opened his eyes, rubbed his sore shoulders, and said that it was the next day, but in fact, it was only four hours since they arrived in City E.

Sensing Xia Feng's movements, Guigui who leaned against him also woke up, poking her head out from under her coat.

"Brother Xia Feng, is it dawn?"

"It's not fully lit yet, but it's about to start working."

"Oh."

The fire in the room had been extinguished long ago, Xia Feng took out the kettle and shook it, but luckily the water in it didn't freeze.

Cold water poured down his throat, and Xia Feng suddenly felt that his whole body was much more energetic.

At this time, Wei Na came up from the stairs, and she didn't look tired at all.

"Xia Feng, pack up quickly, we are about to start working."

"it is good."

After Wei Na left, Xia Feng took a deep breath, and finally fixed his eyes on the cigarette butt in the corner.

Although the box of red plums in Xiafeng's trousers pocket was unpacked, there was still a cigarette in it. He was the first one to go up to the second floor last night, and the Glasgow gang didn't smoke anymore.

There is no doubt that this cigarette butt was left by an outsider. Apart from them, there are other people in Mandel City at this moment.

And Xia Feng didn't tell Wei Na about the discovery of the cigarette butt last night. If you want to ask the reason, it's very simple.

Because, he was too sleepy.

Maybe this reason sounds ridiculous and irresponsible, but that's what he thinks.

Not only him, but everyone who had been running around all day last night was very tired. If Wei Na was told about the cigarette butts, everyone might get up again and look for suspicious people nearby. In Xia Feng's view, this is meaningless.

To put it bluntly, they are also "thieves" themselves, and with Brother ACE and the others in charge of guarding, Xia Feng doesn't want to increase everyone's anxiety.

Maybe this is his selfishness. In fact, he just doesn't want Wei Na to be distracted to consider these dangerous factors. This feeling of being of no help makes him feel quite useless to be honest.

Because of his existence, the current trend of history has been changed. The future fate of everyone he has come into contact with is full of uncertainty. If there are irreparable consequences because of his concealment of cigarette butts, he may regret it.

but.

Life is always full of choices, and everyone's choices are based on different life experiences.However, we may not need to rely on that to make choices, because even if we make the choice that everyone thinks is the most correct, we still don't know what the consequences of that choice are.

A small cigarette butt, maybe this seems like a trivial thing.

But if he had told Wei Na about this last night, she might have changed her action plan overnight, leading the direction of history to another unknown ending.

That's right, Xia Feng knew that he was just an ordinary person, a completely ordinary person.

But his existence is not ordinary, because he is the only person who can change the direction of history.

Without him, the history of the world of Terra will develop according to the established track, and all the operators he is familiar with will not die until the Chernobog riots occur 3 years later.

And his appearance completely disrupted the course of history.

Yes, no matter whether Xia Feng chooses to talk about the cigarette butt or not, both sides have an unknown ending.

So he chose not to say anything according to his selfish thoughts.

Judging from the results, this choice did not have too extreme consequences, and everyone slept peacefully until dawn.

Everyone slept soundly, only Xia Feng knew how precious this night's peace was.

Because of the heavy snow overnight, the streets of City E turned into a vast expanse of whiteness. Everyone packed their gear and began to search for the origin stone cluster in the area.

Soon, a gang member pushed away the white snow and found a grove of origin stones in the corner.

He put on heavy isolation gloves, and took out a small, pointed hammer from his satchel.

This is a special tool for mining the source stone cluster. Although the source stone cluster looks crystal clear, it is actually very hard. Except for the part exposed to the ground, the source stone cluster also has a large part of the "root" deep underground. .

The "rhizome" is connected to the origin stone clump, but this "rhizome" is not an origin stone substance, but a very hard mineral. The miner needs to use tools to forcibly separate the part of the origin stone clump connected to the underground with external force.

The origin stone clump is extremely hard, but its own toughness is not high. In other words, if you use too much force, it will easily break as a whole. Once it is broken, the entire origin stone clump cannot be processed into S-level origin stones.

The Glasgow gang does not have professional mechanical tools. If they only rely on manual mining, this requires the miners to have a lot of wrist strength and precise control of power.

After 30 minutes, Xia Feng sat down on the ground, feeling that the whole hand bowl was completely sour.

For half an hour, he knocked and beat on an origin stone bush, but the other party didn't show any face at all, and didn't drop even a small scum.

"No, this job is not for me."

Wei Na stood at the door of the building where she rested last night and waved to him.

Xia Feng held the small hammer and walked over dejectedly.

"Xia Feng, don't join in the fun, leave the collection work to other people."

Xia Feng squatted beside Wei Na, nodded absent-mindedly, and then whispered.

"Weina, we should be absolutely safe now."

"Yes, Indra just sent a message. Until now, she has not found any other forces entering Mandel City, so we are absolutely safe now."

Xia Feng buried his face in his knees.

"Weina, would you be surprised if I told you that all our current actions may be exposed to someone's surveillance?"

Wei Na's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, but she immediately regained her composure.

"To be honest, I might not be too surprised. I can feel that there are other things hidden in this city, but I don't want to delve into what it is. As long as those things don't come out to interfere with us, I am willing to choose to be a Deaf and blind fool."

Xia Feng raised his head, looked at Wei Na's calm look, and couldn't help thinking.

It turns out that Wei Na has already realized something. Maybe she also found something similar to cigarette butts last night, but she chose to ignore those things. Wei Na seems to be just an impulsive and impulsive young leader, but in fact, She is far more mature than she thought.

Xia Feng stood up from the ground.

"Weina, we can return to Victoria after this operation is successful."

Wei Na smiled in the ice and snow.

"Of course, didn't we make an appointment to come to my house to have a party together, um. Then I will do my best for you."

As soon as Wei Na's words left Xia Feng's mouth, Xia Feng was flustered again. She had just settled the previous flag and now another one?
Before Wei Na finished speaking, Xia Feng immediately diverted the conversation.

"Heh, no one knows what will happen in the future, so don't think too much about it, we have to leave Mandel City safely first, hehe. You say so."

"Yes, that's right."

An unfamiliar male voice came from very close behind Xia Feng.

"Mandel City is not a place where you can come and go whenever you want, you greedy stinky rats."

Hearing this voice, Xia Feng and Wei Na were taken aback at the same time, and the same thought instantly appeared in their minds.

They have never heard this voice in their memory. There is no doubt that the owner of the voice behind it does not belong to the Glasgow Gang and the [Reaper] team, outsiders!
Xia Feng froze in place, time seemed to stand still at this moment.

His worst fears finally happened.

The next second, without any hesitation, the hammer in Wei Na's hand drew an arc, and slammed it hard on the back.
