Hello, Arknights

The weather in Ursus may be like that of a train, otherwise why would it be so "hellish" every day?

The soil was frozen harder than steel, and even through the soles of his shoes he could still feel the cold gnawing at his nerves. If it weren't for Texas's preparation, Ling Dengxian really didn't know if he would have been frozen into an ice stick.

Anyway, I have been frozen into a stupid dog now.

Ling Dengxian wished he could shrink into Chi Yu's blue-black hair at any moment and not move. The Rupert girl, who was standing against the cold wind, did not comment on his fear of cold. She was not a talkative person, but sometimes she was surprised that Ling Dengxian was a little too sensitive to the fear of cold...

"...You are so afraid of the cold, why do you still come to Ursus? Is it worth it?" Texas' ears twitched, he stopped and his expression changed.

Ling Dengxian lifted up a corner of his fur hat: "What?"

"…Nothing." Texas sighed and winked at him.

Chi Yu was quite critical of Ling Dengxian's incompetent performance. Although this had been reflected before, it was particularly prominent when Texas was present.

"I know you like being with her...please at least take my feelings into consideration." As he spoke, Ling Dengxian hugged Chi Yu tighter in his arms.

He was originally quite anxious because he was infected with the Originium disease, but without the help of Originium inhibitory drugs, the Originium crystals on the back of his hand did not spread further, but instead fell off in small pieces.

This is even less obvious.

His body was slowly healing itself. The terminal illness that was fatal to the humans of Terra was actually just an infectious disease to Ling Dengxian. Although Ling Dengxian had some guesses about this, he was still shocked when he verified it.

After all, he is essentially another human being from a parallel world, and is conceptually the same species as the Doctor. The final explanation for the infection with the Originium of the Terra continent belongs to him.

But the occasional pain in his blood vessels made him realize that he was still infected.

The two men drove when they set out, but after stepping into the frozen soil of Ursus, they were unable to obtain effective supplies. After entering the northwest ice field, they ran out of fuel and their engine was damaged, so they had to give up.

But they have arrived at the Northwest Ice Field, and that is enough.

This is an undeveloped area. Due to the previous Longmen turmoil, a large number of infected people and refugees were dispersed. Ling Dengxian and Texas have encountered several streams of refugees. He himself wanted to do something, but when he was pulled by Texas and pointed at some "different" individuals in the crowd, he could not help but remain silent.

"How did you know that?" he asked at the time.

"The spirit in his eyes, the pace of his steps, and the shabby 'style' are somewhat similar to disguises."

Ling Dengxian could only move on, looking for the integration movement that had not yet undergone drastic changes.

Texas didn't have much communication with him along the way, and Ling Dengxian could see that she was enduring it.

In the few nights before the car accident, Ling Dengxian seriously considered whether he should find an excuse to escape, using the wind and snow to cover himself. If Texas couldn't find him, he would have to go back to Longmen.

Even if they meet again in the future, he can always put the blame on "Feng Xue" so that he won't be speechless.

But his final choice was to get up and add some firewood to the camp.

He wasn't so stubborn as to go that far.

Along the way, they also discovered that it was difficult for other unexpected "companions" to remain silent and invisible during the continuous tracking.

Just like now, this is the second time that man's whereabouts have been exposed.

The anti-reconnaissance methods that Ling Xian learned from Lin Yuxia were completely inferior to the sensory experience brought by Texas' unknown past.

"It's the Mouth of a Giant Wolf, the one Longmen has seen." This time Texas confirmed the other party's identity.

From the moment he sensed the enemy's presence, Rupert's hand never left the hilt of the sword.

"Feeling, how does it feel?" Ling Dengxian asked tremblingly, and was ready to throw away Chi Yu and draw his sword at any time.

"...I have no intention to kill." Texas motioned for him to wait. Ling Dengxian put Chi Yu down from his arms despite the cold, and his hand under his coat grasped the hilt of Honglian's sword.

Regarding the Devourer... Ling Dengxian didn't know what to say or think, because a very incredible thing happened. When the car was still there, he had nothing to do so he wanted to see if the Devourer could be used again, and then he silently found out that it couldn't.

Because it is reborn.

The reason why the word "recovery" is not used is because there is a slight change in the Sword, that is, there are still some cracks left on the sword.

This thing is not an ordinary object, although he has long felt this way.

So...what's so unique about this other white sword whose name is still unknown?

But now he chose to touch the Red Lotus, because he found that as long as he didn't use the Devourer of Sins and the White Sword together, he could use both swords normally by changing one of the swords. When he held the two swords, he felt like a fish in water.

Faced with the stalking of the Giant Wolf's Mouth, he could now more confidently say that he had escaped from her.

"Woo..." The black wolf let out a low growl, but its owner patted its head to calm it down, then retreated in weakness.

Even if Ling Dengxian and Texas now fight together, they still have little chance of winning, especially without that ancient shield.

Her behavior seemed a little hesitant.

"She's gone." Texas didn't let his guard down.

"Where are we now?" The white flames rising from under Ling Dengxian's clothes weakened a little.

"I'm not sure, but there are a lot more people. We saw the Ursus army yesterday. If you want to find the Integration Movement, then you are very close." Texas opened another bag of pocky and put it into his mouth.

Bite hard.

Ling Dengxian didn't know what to do, and she would continue to resist.

Gantry.

Lin En woke up from the chaos and found himself leaning against the wall of an alley. He looked at the sky above the alley in a trance: "Why... why am I still alive?"

The smell of blood disappeared, and the sounds outside were filled with the breath of life. He was not surprised. He no longer felt the failure of the Tarn family.

"...Uncle, you're awake..." A child's tender voice came from the alley. Lin En came to his senses and saw a little girl with a timid and tender face sticking out from the alley.

"You saved me?" There were some shallow marks of bandages on Lin En's body.

"……yes……"

"Why save me? I am——"

"Because you kept repeating 'I don't want to die, I don't want to die', Liu Xiaoqin asked me to drag you here." Anasa walked out of the shadows and glared at him, motioning him not to speak.

Wu turned to look at the little girl: "Xiaoqin, your mother asked you to go find your brothers and sisters. It's time to eat."

"Well... Uncle Wu, will you beat him up..." The girl's eyes flashed with worry, "This uncle doesn't know how to fight... He will just take the beating stupidly."

“Don’t worry, Uncle Wu won’t fight either.” The Sarkaz smiled.

"But mom said you defeated two really big monsters."

"Well, go find your brother and sister quickly, your mother must be waiting anxiously."

Wu is a man of few words, but it is not good to be as cold to children as he is to adults.

After the little girl ran away, Lin En was silent for a moment: "So why? Saving me is too stupid. I have killed many people--"

"Ridiculous, who did you kill after you came to Longmen? You just stabbed that white-haired Rupert a few times, and you were beaten during the riots." Wu snorted coldly, "You still want to say that you are a killer, can't you leave some light for the child? You obviously don't want to die at all. Can you do something meaningful now that you have some enlightenment?"

"What else can I do?" Lin En really couldn't figure out what to do next.

"...It seems that you have indeed come to your senses." Seeing his confused look, Wu put away his tentative thoughts, turned around and looked at a Sarkaz wearing a tattered cloak and said, "Are you annoying? I told you that he went to Ursus and I was delayed and didn't catch up."

"I've been wandering in the wilderness *mercenary blessing* for so long I want to take a break *bounty hunter curse*Does it bother you to make a face at me?!" An illiterate Sarkaz was furious.

"Didn't you say that the only clue left in the missing memory points to him?" Wu's face was still dark.

"I'm so fucking tired!" W had no words to complain about. She was first tricked by that bastard Ling Dengxian into going to Longmen in advance in the wilderness, then she found out that he had gone to Tobrand in Columbia, and then she chased him without stopping. Just when she finally got into the convoy with him, she encountered a natural disaster, and they were separated and had to take a detour back to Longmen. Now she arrived exhausted, but the bastard went to Ursus again! !

"F**k you." W's mentality exploded.

"Okay, you can rest if you want. I'll take care of this and go find him. Do you plan to come with me?"

"I really don't want to... but I find it very difficult to find him. Now that I can be lazy, I will definitely not let go of this opportunity." She rubbed her temples. She didn't know if she could resist beating Ling Dengxian up if she saw him again.

"That's it," Wu looked at Lin En expressionlessly, "Now you have two choices, either come with us, or I'll hand you over to Longmen to wait in jail. Don't worry, you won't be sentenced to death in Longmen if you didn't kill anyone."

Lin En didn't hesitate and slowly stood up: "...Take me to the Longmen Guard Bureau."

"Have you thought about it?" W couldn't help but interrupt, as if she knew the whole thing very well.

"Well, guilty is guilty. Being able to survive is an unexpected result. You should accept the charges you deserve."

Penguin Logistics.

"..." A certain Rupert's face turned pale, "You said...Texas left with that grindstone?"

Mr. Is was very amused. "Yes, Governor Wei issued the commission, and Texas accepted it alone. The Angels of Energy made them depressed for a long time."

"...Okay, I got it, thank you." The corners of Bai Lang's eyes twitched slightly, but he still smiled and nodded, then put on his coat casually and went out to work.

You're a dove, you're trying to get something for nothing, right? Don't let me catch you...your bed is mine!

Lapland came up with the most vicious way of revenge for Ling Dengxian.

As for Longmen, the first thing they planned to do after the catastrophe was to find Syracuse to hold it accountable. However, before the messenger even set out, Syracuse's "explanation" arrived.

The culprit and the plan of all the conspiracies were clear, and the compensation was sufficient, so neither Longmen nor Yan State could find any fault.

Wei Yanwu left behind some of the materials and gave the rest to the Great Yan court as his "explanation" to cover up the matter.

Jingzhe was also asked for her opinion, and her answer was pertinent: This matter was caused by foreign enemies, and it was difficult for Duke Wei to have a comprehensive understanding of the overall situation, but he still resolved the crisis, Longmen was saved, and Yan's prestige was enhanced, so he was beyond reproach.

And just as Wei Yanwu had promised, Longmen also started work on the specialization of the lower city area. What no one expected was that Jiang Sa, who was a homeless man not long ago, was elected as the chairman of the urban committee, responsible for supervising the implementation of related work and proposing suggestions for improvement.

Wei Yanwu ordered this.

After the initial confusion, Jiang Sa immediately realized that it must be Ling Dengxian's recommendation.

"Mr. Ling..." The residents at the intersection went from being puzzled at first to believing that he really had something to do when he left without saying goodbye.

The Rat King’s gang is also being streamlined in preparation for a future adaptation.

Of course, Ling Dengxian would have to wait a long time before he could witness all these surprises.
