Chapter 695: Race against time

Princess Verin's summons is over.

Xia Feng, who left the palace, was like a prisoner being escorted, followed by a large number of golden sword guards, and he estimated that all the ordinary officials who entered the palace were basically treated like this.

...

On the way back, Xia Feng had been pondering Verin's words.

Obviously, she was a master of brainwashing, and he was almost fooled by Verin.

From an objective point of view, there is nothing wrong with Verin's point of view, Victoria is very friendly to the infected, and compared to countries such as Ursas, this is a paradise for the infected.

Like she said, it's a gift.

The infected who have gained the right to live, even if they do not reciprocate and do not thank them, there is no reason to give birth to hatred.

On the surface, this is indeed the case, but if you look closely, this view itself is problematic.

Because this framework and rules are originally built by the superiors.

...

Xia Feng was able to obtain this status as an infected person now, thanks to his extraordinary strength and courage, as well as the support of the Black Feather Lords.

However, do ordinary infected people who do not have the strength have to be one level lower than normal people?

For example, if someone discovers a lake in the desert, the first person who discovered it will take the lake for private use and only allow women to drink water, because men drink more water, so men have to work to take a sip.

At this time, the occupant of the lake said, "It is a gift for me to allow men to work in exchange for water, and other lakes will not get water even if you want to work, thank me."

As the first person to discover and construct the lake, this idea was also normal in his subjective consciousness.

But in the eyes of those who seek water, if there are no rules and presence from you, can I drink more?

It's you who distinguish between men and women who are supposed to be equal, well, I can bear the burden of humiliation in order to survive, who made you discover and build the water source, but you don't make me hate you, and make me thank you, that's too much.

Of course, this kind of thinking is somewhat narrow, but in the minds of infected people who are treated differently, it is a perfectly normal psychology.

If there is no division of the right holders, the infected should enjoy the world like normal people, and get a reward proportional to the effort.

....

Obviously, Verin wants him to understand and agree with the fact that Victoria's infected are receiving gifts, and through his influence, make all Victoria's infected eliminate hatred and look at the royal family with gratitude.

Unfortunately, this is a bit too idealistic.

Ordinary people are not all bad people, and the infected are not all good people, and it is impossible to completely eliminate hatred.

Even if the infected do not understand the truth of the desert and the lake, they cannot easily turn from hatred to gratitude, because the unfair treatment has been accumulated in their hearts for too long.

Of course, Verin doesn't expect Xia Feng to change the minds of all the infected, she only hopes that Xia Feng can use her influence to become a neutralizer of contradictions, at least, not to let the dam burst at some point in time.

However, Xia Feng's real thoughts are completely opposite.

If the dam is doomed to collapse, no matter how much it is repaired, what is really needed is reconstruction after destruction.

...

...

After everything was settled in Lentinium, Xia Feng drove back to the south where he belonged.

There is a lot less snow on the road than it was when it came, and the road is unobstructed.

Different from the mood when he came, returning with a genuine aristocratic status at this time, Xia Feng felt that the stone he had been pressing on his chest was finally broken.

After that, he wants to break free from Wuzhi Mountain like Sun Wukong, and in order to avoid the restraint of the tight spell, he may have to knock Tang Seng to death with a stick first.

...

The entrance of the Black Feather Grill restaurant.

As soon as Xia Feng parked the car, the dog in cotton clothes came over.

"Boss, you're back."

"Well, when did you come back?"

Lapland had a playful look on his face.

"Hehe, we've been back a long time ago, and this time it's quite a big harvest."

Pushing the car door, Xia Feng's main concern is not how the harvest will be.

"Were there any injuries in this operation?"

"Don't worry, everyone is fine."

"I'm not in any danger."

"We are the greatest danger."

...

Walking into the barbecue restaurant, Xia Feng glanced at the amount of loot that Franka and Nancy counted together, and the result could only be described in one sentence.

I'm dripping a turtle turtle!

This time, with Frost Star as the strongest insurance measure, the strongest natural disaster team built by Black Feather swept almost the entire eastern part of Terra, and according to the information provided by Penguin Logistics, it plundered 4 natural disaster areas located in different countries in a row.

Of course, 2 of them didn't gain much because of the time gap, but the other two can be said to have made a lot of money.

Just like the last time in Sammy, civil organizations, mercenaries, gangsters, armies, all kinds of forces are in a mess in the area of dangerous natural disasters.

It is necessary to both mine and be vigilant, to plunder others and to prevent being plundered by others, and if you can't leave alive with the spoils of war in the end, even if you eat like a snake, no matter how fat you are.

In Black Feather's Scourge Squad there are red knives and dogs on guard, and almost all predators and disturbers will be isolated, and the wolves only need to mine in peace.

Coupled with the presence of Frost Star, if the number of troops is not large, it can even be directly tough.

There are no rules in the natural disaster area, the strong survive, everyone is for the source stone, and no one is innocent.

As for the grudges that have been formed, there is no need to pay attention to them at all, because most people can't leave alive, and even if they do, few people will seek revenge because of this, everyone comes from different countries and forces, and it is difficult to find anyone.

...

After the Red Knife returned, the loot was also loaded in a truck, and outsiders who didn't know thought it was full of stones.

At the desk, Xia Feng stared at the report and said in surprise.

"So much?"

Lao Pu put his hands in his sleeves, like an old man jumping popcorn, nodded and said.

"I've already seen the goods, and after a rough calculation, after satisfying the orders of Black Steel and Karaland Trade, we will have at least 6,000 left."

Puda, who was sitting next to Lao Pu, had the same expression as his brother, and continued to speak.

"Brother Feng, the Snow Emperor Group also sent a batch of processing orders close to 900 pieces a few days ago, plus the amount purchased by Casimir's side, I estimate that soon our reserves will exceed 10,000."

...

To be honest, this is a terrifying amount, but given the current situation, this result is not unexpected.

Because of the previous foreshadowing, there is no stable source stone processing channel in the eastern part of Terra, so it is said that the underground source stones of several countries will eventually gather here, with the city of Hapi as the center.

Lao Pu took his hand out of his sleeve and lit a cigarette.

"Summer breeze, that's a good thing, but it also increases the risk, I mean.... With such a big stroke, will it be easy to make a big move? ”

If it had been a month ago, Xia Feng might have had the same concerns, but now, he didn't care.

"It doesn't matter, our source stones are not robbed of the treasury, they are all desperately obtained by our brothers from distant natural disaster areas, and in addition, they are also sent by foreign organizations on their own initiative for processing."

Lao Pu is still a little worried.

"But this kind of thing is still too sensitive, after all, this is the source stone, and the number is too large."

Xia Feng shook his head.

"Don't worry, our business is very hidden, even if I am discovered, no one dares to touch me easily."

...

Xia Feng has already seen it.

If someone wants to move you, they won't give you time to prepare, let alone think about what you've done.

In this case, obscene development has lost its meaning, and racing against time is the king.

Because only in this way will you have enough capital to fight when the storm comes, as well as bargaining chips.
