Shuangxing wanted to say something more, but seeing Han Fei's serious expression, she swallowed her words.
To say anything more would be too polite.
Since Han Fei was unwilling to accept her compensation, Shuangxing had no choice but to repay his kindness in another way. She squatted down without saying a word and searched for the bodies of the inspectors for Han Fei.
Look at how serious she is, you'd think she was looking for some valuable lost item.
This scene made Talulah even more curious about what had happened between the two of them while she was away, and how their relationship had suddenly become so much better.
However, now is not the time to dwell on this. Talulah said, "Then you guys search first. I'll go gather everyone together, and once you're done here, we can set off directly."
“Okay, we’ll be done here soon,” Han Fei said.
Talulah said without turning her head, "No rush, search carefully and don't leave anything behind."
"Don't worry, I'm not a colander," Han Fei said.
After Talulah left, Han Fei and Froststar continued to search their bags in silence.
The mission's AI was indeed poor; Han Fei searched all the remaining inspectors' bags and only found one blue item, which was a four-panel magazine.
In terms of value, this thing is only slightly better than the little green one, but not by much.
It takes up four slots in your backpack, but its value is only a little over 10,000. On average, the profit per slot is less than 5000.
It is a very low-quality blue item, and even a skilled player would normally avoid it.
But Han Fei wasn't in a position to be picky at the moment. He hadn't even finished clearing out the green stuff in his bag yet, so it was already a blessing if he could pick anything up at all.
“So poor.”
After grumbling, Han Fei still put the magazine into his backpack.
At this moment, Froststar packed the supplies she had found into a police officer's uniform, spread them out and gave them to Han Fei, saying, "These are all the supplies I found. You can take them all."
Han Fei glanced at the items and found that many of them were completely worthless to him, meaning they couldn't be exchanged for Haff coins.
The rest were all white and green items, not worth taking.
So Han Fei politely declined, saying, "I don't need any of these, you can take them."
"Is none of that necessary?"
Froststar silently put these things away, saying regretfully, "What a pity, I thought you would be satisfied."
"I am quite satisfied."
Han Fei touched Froststar's ear and smiled, "But it's not because of these things, it's because of your feelings."
Froststar glanced at Han Fei and said, "You seem to really like touching my ears."
Han Fei blinked and said frankly, "Because it's furry, it looks great."
Han Fei's preference for fluffy creatures is limited to kemonomimi girls; he's still a ways off from being a fan of Fury.
Animal-eared girls really hit his sweet spot.
If he wasn't attracted to kemonomimi (animal-eared girls), he wouldn't have gotten into this fandom in the first place!
"Don't you think it's too cold?" Frostnova said.
"Fortunately."
Han Fei stared at Froststar's rabbit ears and said, "It's better than I expected. Of course, if you mind that, I won't touch it next time."
"I do not mind."
Froststar turned her head away, saying nonchalantly, "I don't feel anything. If you don't find it cold, then do as you please."
"is it?"
Looking at Shuangxing's profile, Han Fei eagerly asked, "Shall I touch it again?"
Froststar said calmly, "Whatever you say."
So Han Fei reached out his hand once again.
He had just touched Froststar's rabbit ears when he heard a young male voice behind him.
"Dr. Han Fei, I—"
The words stopped abruptly.
Han Fei turned around and saw a young snow monster in a white robe standing five steps behind him, holding a bundle. He looked somewhat embarrassed and clutched the bundle tightly, seemingly caught between a rock and a hard place.
A little distance behind the Yeti, several other Yeti squads were quietly listening and exchanging glances.
Froststar glanced over nonchalantly and asked, "Is there something you need?"
The young Yeti stammered as he explained, "Well, big sister, we picked out some good things from our spoils and wanted to give them to Dr. Han Fei."
Upon hearing this, Shuangxing looked at Han Fei, her meaning clear—you decide.
Han Fei was not polite at all. He walked over generously and said, "Okay, let me see what treasures you've picked out for me."
Volume 1: Chapter 18 - What does it have to do with me, Han Fei?
Han Fei glanced at it, then lost interest and said:
"I appreciate the thought, but please take the things back."
The contents of this bundle were similar to what Froststar had given him earlier; they were mostly items that weren't necessary to pick up.
"Dr. Han Fei, are you not satisfied?" The Yeti packed his bundle. "Wait a moment, I'll go get something else."
"Alright, alright, don't go."
Han Fei stopped the Yeti who was about to leave, saying, "When I healed your injuries, I never expected you to repay me. There's no need to make it seem like a transaction."
Han Fei was quite pleased that the Yetis had put in this effort, and he wouldn't mind accepting their gift if it was worth picking up.
But like now, these things are not worth picking up, and Han Fei doesn't care much about them; the sentiment is enough.
But if we change the gifts again, it will lose its original meaning.
"This……"
The Yeti instinctively looked at Frostnova, seeking her opinion.
The latter nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Han Fei's statement.
The Yeti then abandoned the idea of exchanging supplies for another batch and said, "Alright then, anyway, we are very grateful to you, Dr. Han Fei. If you need anything in the future, just let us know, and no matter how difficult it is, we are willing to help you."
"Okay, okay," Han Fei said with a smile. "Let's go back and pack our things, we should head back."
The Yeti said, "Okay, Dr. Han Fei."
Han Fei returned to Shuangxing's side and said, "Your companions are all good people."
"Compared to companions."
Froststar looked at the busy Yeti squad and said, "I prefer to call them family."
"Too."
Han Fei nodded knowingly, "I can tell you care about them a lot, otherwise you wouldn't have lost your composure when you came to see me before."
When Froststar came to see him before, she practically had the word "anxious" written all over her face, and she wasn't as calm as usual at all.
"Ah."
Frostnova responded and casually said, "Let's go find Talulah and tell her we can leave now."
"Row."
Han Fei agreed and, together with Frostnova, found Talulah.
Before long, the group braved the wind and snow, left the village, and embarked on their journey home.
Traveling through the snow was extremely difficult; it's no exaggeration to say that the time spent fighting for one's life in the village was far less than the length of the return journey.
Unfortunately, the snowstorm intensified on the road.
As a result, it took Han Fei and his men even longer to finally return to the base before dark.
Returning in triumph with spoils should have been a cause for celebration, but the infected who remained at the stronghold showed no joy on their faces. Their expressions were heavy, even somewhat gloomy.
The atmosphere is wrong.
Han Fei immediately noticed the anomaly and perked up, preparing to deal with any unexpected situation.
"what happened?"
Talulah strode out of the crowd. "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
"Tallulah."
Alina came out of the cabin and stood in front of Talulah, saying, "Some unpleasant things happened while you were away."
Before Alina could explain, one of the infected spoke up: "Talulah, we're not following you to go hungry."
Talulah glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"literal meaning."
The infected man looked at Talulah and said, "We've had enough of this hunger and thirst, Talulah. How long have you been deceiving us with your empty promises?"
As they were talking, a shield guard came out and said, "Talulah, he beat up his comrades in the outpost for food."
Upon hearing this, Talulah's expression darkened, and she asked Alina, "Is what he said true?"
"Ah."
Alina nodded and said, "While you were away, they had a fight, and quite a few people were injured."
Talulah's expression turned grim. "Does this mean we have to fight our own kind for food?" she said.
The shield guard said in a deep voice, "Talulah, such a mistake must be punished. Only by hanging them can we appease the people."
“No, let them go,” Talulah said. “They joined us out of trust.”
Han Fei watched this scene silently from the side without saying a word.
If he remembered correctly, Alina was killed by several infected people banished by Talulah.
As for whether they were among those infected individuals, Han Fei was unsure.
This part of the story is from so early in the story that Han Fei barely remembers it, only recalling the general outline.
The debate between Talulah and the Shield Guards continued, just as Han Fei remembered. In the end, Talulah stuck to her choice and did not hang the people, but instead chose to exile them.
After dealing with the invading infected, Talulah walked up to Han Fei Froststar and said, "I'm sorry to have made you witness such a disgusting scene."
"There's nothing to apologize for. People's hearts are always hard to control." Han Fei shrugged. "However, I have something to do and need to leave for a while. I'll be back later."
Froststar hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
"It's nothing, I'll be right back."
Han Fei waved his hand and walked out of the village without looking back.
Frostnova and Talulah exchanged a glance, and the former said, "I'll go and see."
"Go."
Talulah did not stop her, saying, "I have to stay and handle the aftermath."
outside the village.
The wind and snow grew heavier, and the footprints on the road became somewhat blurred under the cover of snowflakes.
Han Fei followed the footprints and chased after them. In order to catch up with the infected who had left earlier, he even used the Red Wolf ultimate move.
Before long, the figures of the infected people who had been banished by Talulah came into Han Fei's sight.
Are we just going to leave like this?
"Then what do you want to do? We can't beat Talulah."
"I know, I'm just a little upset. We're just trying to survive, and she kept saying she'd give us a place to stay, but in reality, we can't even get enough to eat!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to get revenge."
"Don't be silly, there are only a few of us. We can't even beat Talulah, let alone those shield guards."
Do you remember that girl from Eurafia?
