Arknights is too real, right?

After knowing that Xia Feng was the Xia Feng, Luo Ful was briefly surprised, and then his gray eyes gradually shone with light.

Xia Feng pulled down his collar, revealing the shocking Originium crystal on his neck.

I am Xia Feng from the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce. Like you, I am also an infected person.

The corners of Luo Ful's eyes were moist.

God has eyes, God really has eyes.

Afterwards, Luo Fuer carefully explained the whole story to Xia Feng.

It turns out that most of the members of this infected criminal gang come from this infected area, because they are all young people. Before committing crimes, they were all doing menial jobs in surrounding factories.

The factory where the incident occurred employs a large number of infected employees.

In order to survive, most of the infected people work hard without complaint, taking wages that are completely disproportionate to their efforts and engaging in tiring, dangerous, and even physically harmful jobs.

Even so, no one raised any objection. A stable job is the hope of survival for them.

However, starting six months ago, due to poor management, the factory began to further deduct the wages of infected people, and increased the workload on the original basis. It was almost two people completing the original workload of three people.

Until the incident, the factory had not paid wages for three months. Some infected people jointly requested the factory to pay wages because they could no longer survive, but the factory boss refused.

The boss summoned a group of idle people from nowhere, beat the infected people who asked for wages, and directly confiscated three months of wages on the pretext that the infected people deliberately gathered to cause trouble.

The local security bureau did not conduct a detailed investigation, but believed the factory boss's one-sided story. Afterwards, the security bureau also issued a warning to the infected person who was beaten.

This matter will be settled.

The wages that the infected people depended on for survival were lost in this way. In the end, the factory owner even kept those who beat people in the factory and turned them into security guards.

It seems that he plans to repeat his old tricks and get worse, and keeps asking these infected people to work for him for free.

Because the organs of infected people fail quickly and most people die within a few years, the boss is not worried about so-called retaliation.

He feels that infected people who know the inside story will leave, but there will still be uninformed infected people who fall into his trap, repeating the process over and over again, always purchasing labor at the lowest cost.

But unfortunately, this time, the factory owners underestimated the determination of the infected to break out under oppression.

After listening to Luo Fuer's words, Xia Feng had no doubts about this.

He was not a judge and did not need so-called evidence. He knew just from the look on his face when he spoke that this was true.

There is no doubt that this is not a simple robbery, but revenge, or it can be called treating others with their own way.

These infected people are helpless. The government and businessmen collude, and repeated forbearance will only make the oppression worse. Since their lives are not long, they can only fight to the death.

From a personal point of view, Xia Feng felt that this was correct. He even wanted to applaud and shout that the factory security guard deserved his death.

However, his current status is not that of a melon-eater.

This is the first case of the Special Operations Division. From an official perspective, it is wrong to withhold wages, but the crime does not lead to death. In the final analysis, these infected people killed people.

Xia Feng believes that this kind of oppression is not an isolated case. If this matter is not handled properly, infected people in many places may follow suit and use extreme measures to fight for their own interests.

This will only make the already discriminated group of infected people more careful, and even trigger directional rulings from the empire.

Although this seems excessive, you must know that in another distant country called Ursus, infected people are not treated as humans.

In any case, now that he is here, he must solve this matter.

evening.

Xia Feng decided to go to the infected area alone to investigate the current situation inside.

The local security bureau is under the management of the Supervision Office, so they will only completely obey Xia Feng's arrangements. However, the army will not allow Xia Feng to go alone hastily.

The mission of the military is to assist in operations. If the director of the Special Operations Division has an accident in an infected area without protection, then the responsibility will be huge.

Bagpipe, the highest officer in the team, said immediately.

No, you can't go in alone. We have had conflicts before. It's too dangerous.

Don't worry, it's okay.

No, we will send at least 10 people to follow you. We will not interfere and are only responsible for protecting your safety.

Xia Feng sighed.

I, Xia Feng, don't need anyone else to protect my safety. Infected people are very sensitive now. Seeing heavily armed soldiers will irritate them.

This is true. Since there has been a conflict before, the army's re-entry, regardless of whether it is malicious or not, will inevitably have the opposite effect.

Bagpipe thought for a moment.

Okay, I understand. Then I'll be the only one to go in with you. I'm a weak woman and I won't irritate them.

Xia Feng glanced at Bagpipe's special gun-shaped weapon. Judging from his intuition, girls from the Waifan tribe had absolutely nothing to do with the term weak woman.

But he knew that Bagpipe also had her responsibilities, and this was the bottom line for cooperation.

Okay, then just the two of us will go in, and don't bring your weapons.

Bagpipe was a little surprised.

Without weapons? What if there is a conflict? How can I protect you?

Xia Feng smiled.

It doesn't matter. I will try my best not to let conflicts happen. If it happens, I can protect you.

Victoria's west coast has no ports and is relatively the most desolate area in the north.

There is no road leading from the temporary headquarters to the infected area, only a wilderness covered with snow.

The sky was dark and the night wind was cold. The summer wind and the bagpipe walked side by side through the snow.

After leaving the military camp, Bagpipe lost her seriousness as an officer, and now she was alone with two people, she said.

Xia Feng.

Hearing this slightly lively call, Xia Feng turned his head.

What's wrong?

Bagpipe had a mysterious smile on his face.

There were a lot of people just now. I didn't tell you. Well, what should I say? In fact, I know you.

ah?

You went to the Royal Academy, right?

This is not a secret, Xia Feng nodded.

I did study at the Royal Academy, but I'm on leave now.

Then you should call me senpai, I am a graduate of Kinoe Academy.

Unexpectedly, Bagpipe also attended the Royal Academy, which made Xia Feng instantly feel close to him.

But if you think about it carefully, Bagpipe can serve as an officer at a young age, either because of his prominent family background or because of his excellent professional qualities.

In the wilderness, the two walked side by side.

Xia Feng showed a friendly smile.

It turns out you are an alumnus, so I really have to call you senior.

Hearing this, Senior, Bagpipe put her hands behind her back and was secretly happy, and then she said again.

Xia Feng, do you know how I found out that you are a student of the Royal Academy?

Xia Feng said half-jokingly.

Have you ever investigated me?

of course not.

So you saw in the newspaper that I won the swordsmanship competition and you regarded me as your idol?

Tch, stop being narcissistic.

Xia Feng put away his joking attitude.

Tell me, how do you know me?

Privately, Bagpipe no longer had the seriousness of being a soldier, and she pretended to be mysterious and smiled.

Hey, Chen Chen told me.

Xia Feng was stunned.

Chen Chen?

Have you been to Longmen before?

I did.

Have you been arrested and taken to the Longmen Guard Bureau?

Yeah, how do you know, huh? Could it be...

Seeing Xia Feng's stunned expression, Bagpipe seemed very happy, and she proudly explained with her chest raised.

Superintendent Chen Huijie of the Longmen Guards Bureau is my classmate at the Royal Guards College, and is my best best friend. Although we are now far apart and in different countries, our feelings will never change. Hey, we talk on the phone a lot.

Bagpipe ran forward two steps lively, stopped and looked back at Xia Feng.

Chen Chen said that you are a very special person. At that time, I didn't understand what was so special about a person who was arrested in the police station. I didn't expect that I would actually see you today.

After learning about the relationship between Bagpipe and Officer Chen, Xia Feng also felt a little emotional.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

I'm nothing special, I'm just an ordinary person.

No.

Under the night sky, the evening wind blew across their cheeks, and there was a firm recognition under Bagpipe's sincere eyes.

Chen Chen is right. As an official of the Supervision Office, you can make infected people trust you, identify with you, and rely on you. Xia Feng, this is enough to prove that you are special.

The lively and cheerful smile gradually faded.

For some reason, at this moment, the sound of the bagpipes was mixed with a hint of desolation that was inconsistent with the appearance.

Xia Feng, if it were you, maybe you could change something, for example, those things that we have worked hard for but still can't change.
