My Arknights Life Diary

"Hey, you two, come on up, we're about to leave!"

Tu spoke to Xiao Ke and Gui Gui who were swimming in the river.

After a few days of driving, this stream has become deeper and deeper. After merging with several other streams, it can now be called a river. Tu Fang has been down there before. At present, the deepest place can accommodate two Tu Fangs, and is about three or four meters deep.

Tu Fang looked at Guigui and Xiaoke in the water, feeling helpless. He couldn't stop Xiaoke, and Guigui slipped down after seeing Xiaoke go down.

They were now doggy-paddling, with only their heads and tails exposed, and their lower bodies flopping around in the water.

He was lying on the water with only his head exposed while the rest of his body was submerged. I didn't know how he kept his balance. He was swimming in the water with his hands, just like he was back home.

To sum up, both of them swim better than Tu Fang.

Tu Fang can only ensure that he does not drown...

One relies on skills, the other on brute strength, but in Tu Fang's opinion, both of them are having fun swimming.

"Hey, are we going up? I know, I know (???)"

After replying, the turtle moved its limbs in the water and swam towards the shore.

Well, the turtle is still very obedient.

"No! Xiao Ke wants to play for a while longer!"

Xiao Ke is not as obedient as Guigui, but after so many days of getting along with him, Tu Fang already knows how to deal with Xiao Ke.

"If you don't come up, you won't have dinner tonight!"

"Woo! No, Xiao Ke, go up now!"

Tu Fang holds the power over food distribution, so it is very easy for him to threaten a stupid dog.

"A chirp!"

A cold wind blew over, and the turtle who came ashore first sneezed.

"Hmm? The weather has been getting colder recently, Turtle! Use a towel to dry yourself first, then go to the fire and warm yourself up. And Xiao Ke, you too, we'll set off later!"

"understood!"

Xiao Ke and Gui Gui answered in unison.

Tu Fang felt that they had to hurry up. It had been a long time since they left Chernobyl. Combined with the recent cooler weather, Tu Fang felt that winter in Ursus was about to come...

------------

It's time to rush again

The original stream has turned into a river, and groups of trees have appeared on the road ahead. The further Tu Fang goes, the denser the trees become, until there is an average of one tree every ten meters or so.

After another journey, the surrounding trees gradually gathered together. Tu Fang walked along the river bank. The view in front of him was wide, and silvery-white waves shone on the vast water surface.

"Tu Fang! Tu Fang! Look at what a big lake!"

Turtle looked forward from the truck bed, looking at the vast lake, and spoke in surprise.

But Tu Fang's attention was not on the lake. He looked towards the lake in the distance, where there were many signs of life.

There are people near this lake!

Tu Fang thought so in his heart.

Tu Fang parked the tricycle by the lake and planned to check out the traces left by those people himself.

But before leaving, Tu Fang reminded Guigui and the others not to play in the water, as it would be very troublesome if they got sick.

----------

"There aren't any weeds near the tent, and the charcoal is still warm. They should have just left not long ago."

Tu Fang carefully observed the traces left by the group of people and made inferences based on them.

Tu Fang walked around the campsite twice and found some traces of people walking. These traces pointed to the other side of the woods near the lake.

Tu Fang felt that he had not prepared anything and it was too risky for him to go alone, so he went back to the tricycle and took a knife for self-defense. Although he bought this knife in Chernobyl for self-defense, in fact, Tu Fang used it more often to open cans than for self-defense...

Tu Fang drove the tricycle to a more secluded location, took some branches to cover it slightly, then called Guigui and Xiaoke and prepared to go and check out what was going on.

Needless to say, as for asking Xiao Ke to go over, this Pero's fighting power is enough to beat ten Tu Fangs without any difficulty. As for asking Gui Gui to go over... Tu Fang thinks that her shield is quite useful, and Gui Gui's backpack can also deploy a force field, which can be used as a group shield. Moreover, if she is left here alone, Tu Fang will not be able to take care of her if something happens.

---------

"You two follow me, don't fall behind!"

Tu Fang, who was walking in the woods following the traces, turned around and spoke to the two people behind him. Tu Fang's worry was not unnecessary. There were several times when these two people almost fell behind. They were either led away by something new or wanted to look in another direction. Tu Fang just felt tired of these two people.

Tu Fang and his companions had been walking in the woods for some time, and the traces of the path they had left were getting newer and newer, until they heard a noisy sound ahead. Tu Fang and his companions walked out of the woods and came to the side of the lake. In front of them were many large and small tents, arranged in an orderly manner, with people coming and going. The area near the entrance was like a small market, with people sitting on the ground on both sides, placing some things on rags, and selling them to the people coming and going.

Tu Fang looked carefully and found that among these people, there were infected people. The prominent Originium crystals on their bodies allowed Tu Fang to quickly identify their identities. There were also some people who did not have obvious Originium crystals on their bodies. Tu Fang did not know whether they were infected or not. But what made Tu Fang curious was that in Ursus, a place that extremely rejected the infected, if they were not infected, why would they be with this group of infected people?

These people are not like Tu Fang, who does not belong to this world and has no feelings about the mineral disease. Tu Fang has seen the Originium crystals on Xiao Ke's body before, but he does not care. Tu Fang believes that the infected are just sick people, and are essentially no different from ordinary people in this land. At the same time, he also knows that this land discriminates against the infected.

Tu Fang saw that most of them were Ursus people. They were born in this country and had been educated with discrimination against infected people since childhood. If they themselves were not infected, why could they let go of their prejudices and stay with the infected? This made Tu Fang curious.

Tu Fang led Guigui and Xiaoke to the gate of the camp. The so-called gate was just a door frame made of some wood. There was a sign next to the gate. Tu Fang couldn't understand what was written on it, but Tu Fang guessed it was some rules or something. This made Tu Fang want to go in and find out what was going on.
