"Don't worry too much."
Han Fei blinked and said, "I have no ill will toward the infected. At least, I don't feel any burden in being with you."
"And you don't need to pay too much attention to me. I'm just a passing scavenger who will be leaving soon. You don't need to take me too seriously."
Han Fei didn't intend to stay here for too long. It wasn't that he had any prejudice against Sister Ta and Alina. In fact, if conditions allowed, he wouldn't mind staying in the tundra a little longer.
The reason is simple: there are cute white rabbits here.
Sigh, those words, "I voluntarily join Rhodes Island," really stung me back then.
However, Han Fei also had his own difficulties—every operation of Delta Force was subject to time constraints!
Unlike the 30-minute time limit for the "Battlefield" in the game, Han Fei's "Battlefield" this time has a much more generous time limit, a full five days!
Five days is neither a long nor a short time, which is actually a bit awkward.
In a sense, it wasn't long enough for Han Fei to make a few close friends on the tundra; but in a sense, a full 120 hours was enough for him to do quite a lot.
But in any case, Han Fei had to leave in five days, or he would be lost.
As everyone knows, getting lost in Delta Force is tantamount to death; everything except your crotch, including the contents of the safety box, will fall out.
Han Fei dared not gamble his life on the consequences of getting lost. In the game, dying only meant losing some Huff coins. At worst, he could just play another game. Even if he went bankrupt, he could simply sell some red potions or run a few knives and get new equipment to start over.
But Han Fei is personally taking action now. Who knows if he can do it again if he dies?
If it doesn't work, where can I complain to?
"Is that so? I..."
Talulah was speaking when a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.
Immediately afterward, the wooden door creaked open, and a gust of cold wind howled into the room, swirling up a few unburnt pieces of pine resin from the fireplace. An infected warrior stood in the doorway and said to the inside, "Talulah, something's happened."
Talulah immediately stood up and said to Han Fei, "I'll be right back."
Han Fei nodded in understanding and said, "You go ahead and get back to work."
As the wooden door closed again, Talulah's figure disappeared into the cold wind.
The room fell silent abruptly, save for the crackling of burning pine branches in the fireplace, and sparks falling onto the iron rack like a deliberately suppressed sigh.
Alina lowered her eyes to her clasped hands, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the frayed edges of her cuffs. After a long while, she finally raised her head, her voice so soft it was as if she were afraid of disturbing the fire: "Talulah doesn't mean any harm. It's just that she's carrying the future of many people on her shoulders now, so she's being a little cautious. Please forgive her."
Han Fei smiled and said, "It's alright, I understand. You're not in a good situation either. It's always good to be careful when dealing with an outsider like me."
Alina smiled and said softly, "Thank you for your understanding."
Looking at the gentle, deer-like girl in front of him, Han Fei suddenly thought of her fate—a tragic end.
After a slight hesitation, Han Fei said, "I suggest that you take more people with you when you go out in the future. In situations like today, those two teenagers might not have been able to protect you."
"thanks for your reminder."
Alina smiled and shook her head, saying, "We don't have many companions to begin with. Talulah also has to fight the Infected Enforcers. If I take some more people with me, then Talulah will be even less manpower when she fights the Enforcers."
“How about this,” Han Fei said, “I’ll be staying in the tundra for a few more days, so I’ll be your bodyguard during those days.”
“How can you do that?” Alina quickly shook her head. “You have your own things to do too. How can you spend all your time on me?”
"No, my backpack is already full. I've accomplished my goal this time, so I can do whatever I want with the rest of the time." Han Fei shrugged.
That's true. Han Fei's backpack only has fifteen compartments. Adding the eight compartments of the chest strap he found, plus his two-compartment safety case and pocket, the total space of thirty compartments is already full.
Although none of them were anything valuable, just trendy green and blue junk, Han Fei was already quite satisfied with the tundra with its low drop rate.
Even if he continues to scrape the ground for the next few days, it will only be a matter of replacing the little green trash on his body.
Han Fei thought it would be better to use this time to make up for the regrets he had when he played with porridge back then.
HAF coins can be earned again, but for some people, once they're gone, they're gone forever.
“Even if you say that, I still don’t feel good,” Alina said. “Since you’re a scavenger, you shouldn’t waste your time on me. Besides, I’m just an ordinary girl. Why do I need you to protect me?”
Han Fei shook his head and said, "No, do as I say. If you need to go out these next few days, just call me and I'll go with you."
Alina was gentle but not weak. She did not accept Han Fei's kindness and insisted, "No, I appreciate your kindness, but you really don't need to waste your time on me."
Han Fei wanted to continue persuading her, but when he saw the look in Alina's eyes, he suddenly understood.
She is a very strong and intelligent girl. She has her own opinions, and no matter how much you say, you probably can't change her mind.
The conversation abruptly ended there. Alina was at a loss for words with Han Fei, so she stood up, walked to the fireplace, picked up the tongs, and poked at the embers. Sparks flew up in clusters, weaving a fine, golden rain between the two of them.
Fortunately, the silence didn't last long. A short while later, Talulah pushed open the door and came back.
After she came in, she took off her coat, hung it on the wall, and sat back down opposite Han Fei.
Upon seeing Talulah return, Alina asked, "Are you alright, Talulah?"
Talulah glanced at Han Fei but did not answer.
Han Fei immediately understood and stood up, saying, "Then I'll excuse myself for a moment?"
Volume 1: Chapter 7 You have clothes but you don't touch them?
After a brief silence, Talulah spoke up: "No need."
"Are you sure you don't need to?"
Han Fei didn't sit down, but kept looking at Talulah, and said, "If it's something very important, I'd better avoid it."
"There's nothing that can't be said."
Talulah stated frankly, "As you can see, resources are scarce on the tundra. As more and more infected join, the amount of food each person can get is limited, which will cause some people to become dissatisfied."
Han Fei then sat down again and said, "You guys have had it pretty tough too. Here's what we'll do: I'll stay here for a few more days. If you have any headaches or fevers during these days, come find me."
Talulah looked him up and down, then asked with a hint of disbelief, "Are you a doctor?"
"Not really, it just has some healing abilities."
As he spoke, Han Fei pulled out a hormone gun and said, "How about I give you a shot to try?"
Talulah stared at the hormone gun for a while. Perhaps it was the color, but the bright green medical hormone gave her a strange sense of peace.
However, Talulah shook her head and refused, saying, "I'm not injured, so don't waste precious medical resources on me."
Han Fei didn't press the issue. He turned to Alina and said, "Then why don't you try an injection?"
Alina instinctively pulled her hands back and shook her head, saying, "I don't want to either."
"What happened to your hand?"
This action was so conspicuous that Han Fei instinctively focused his gaze on Alina's fair little hands.
"It's just some frostbite," Alina said softly. "It's nothing serious."
As soon as she finished speaking, a green hormone injection was precisely injected into her body.
"Eh?"
Alina was stunned.
On the tundra, it's common for infected people who lack food and clothing to get frostbite. They can just endure it and it will pass. She really didn't want Han Fei to use medical resources on her.
After all, that hormone gun looked very high-tech and was obviously a valuable item. It would be a waste to use it on her so casually.
"How are you feeling?" Han Fei asked casually.
He naturally didn't care about these things. The bullets of this hormone gun were just like Red Wolf's triple grenade launcher and the nameless spinning blade. They would automatically replenish resources when the time was up, so there was no such thing as waste.
Alina spread her hands out, and in the short time it took to speak, the frostbite on her hands had healed and disappeared. As the unsightly marks faded, her hands returned to their original white and beautiful state.
Alina was very surprised and said, "It's very effective."
"right."
Han Fei put away the hormone gun and said, "If it's a complicated or difficult case, I really can't help, but for external injuries, you can't go wrong with me."
In the state, special operations agents can be lively and energetic again after a few injections after being shot, which is enough to prove how excellent the hormone gun is in treating external injuries.
Talulah's fingertips unconsciously traced the edge of the table, her gaze falling on Alina's smooth, pristine hand. The fireplace softened the scrutinizing glint in her eyes, transforming it into a warm, resinous compromise.
Then, she looked up at Han Fei with great interest, her eyes full of curiosity.
She couldn't understand why such a person would appear on the tundra, and Talulah didn't believe his claim of scavenging.
How much money can you make scavenging on the tundra? With that kind of skill, you could settle down and make a living in any city. Why bother coming to the tundra to do such a hard and unprofitable job?
Suddenly, Han Fei's voice pulled Talulah back to reality.
"Why are you spacing out? Want to eat an apple?"
Talulah turned around and saw a half-cut apple placed in front of her. She glanced to the side and saw that Alina also had a half-cut apple in her hand.
Talulah looked away and, seeing that Han Fei's hands were empty, said, "Aren't you going to eat?"
“I don’t like apples.”
As Han Fei spoke, he stood up and shoved the half-apple into Talulah's hand.
Talulah accepted Han Fei's kindness and took the apple. Just as she was about to thank him, she saw Han Fei staring intently at her clothes.
It wasn't the clothes she was wearing, but the coat she had casually taken off and hung on the wall when she came in.
This coat was the one Talulah wore when she escaped from Kosichear to the tundra. Both the materials and the workmanship are top-notch. The black and red base color is complemented by a pattern woven with gold thread, which shows that it is very expensive.
Talulah didn't care about any of that; it was just a piece of clothing, but no matter what, it was still her clothing.
Therefore, Talulah asked, "What's wrong?"
Han Fei turned around and asked excitedly, "Can I touch it?"
A hint of confusion appeared on Talulah's delicate face as she said, "Why are you touching it?"
"You don't understand, what if the card gets issued?" Han Fei explained.
In the game "Eight Treasures Porridge", clothing can yield key cards, and the higher the level of the clothing, the higher the probability of obtaining a key card.
—The probability of getting a card is much higher when wearing a white coat than when wearing work clothes.
If even a white coat looks like this, what about Sister Ta's obviously well-made uniform jacket?!
As a knife-wielding kid, how could Han Fei resist touching the clothes laid out in front of him?
"Card?"
Talulah was even more confused and shook her head, saying, "I don't know what kind of card you're talking about, but there's nothing inside it."
Han Fei didn't expect Talulah to understand his actions, and continued, "Whether she touched it or not, we'll know."
Upon hearing this, Talulah shook her head and chuckled, "Please go ahead."
It was just a coat, not an undergarment, so it wouldn't hurt for Han Fei to touch it. Besides, she was watching, so she wasn't worried that Han Fei would do anything inappropriate.
The next second, Han Fei reached out and touched the clothes.
It has to be said that this clothing is indeed valuable, and it feels very nice to the touch. But that's not the point. The point is that as soon as Han Fei touched it, the search interface for Eight Treasure Porridge appeared in front of him.
On the right side of the loot list, there are two small black squares.
"Huh?"
Han Fei was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "Could it be?!"
The first grid was quickly rotated, revealing the true nature of the supplies hidden beneath the black grid.
8 playing cards.
Han Fei was not discouraged. As a veteran tomb raider, it was normal for his clothes to reveal playing cards, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
The moment the 8-card poker card completes its rotation, the second card begins to spin, but this time, the spin takes a little longer.
"Holy crap, there really is a card!"
Han Fei understood immediately, and his face lit up with joy.
Before long, a small blue card appeared in Han Fei's line of sight. He looked closely and saw several large characters on it: West Building Medical Room.
Han Fei took out the card and held it in his hand.
In the game, there's no option to inspect this blue keycard, but Han Fei is right here in the game, so whether or not he can inspect it is entirely up to him.
He held the key card in one hand, examined it repeatedly, and then flicked it lightly with the index finger of his other hand.
