My Arknights Life Diary

“So you bought this car in the end?”

"However, that new land vehicle is very expensive, and you can't afford it, so you have to buy a lower-end one as a replacement."

"Hmm...you call this a lower-level replacement? I doubt this little tricycle can even run in the wilderness."

Tu Fang looked at the small tricycle and said helplessly

"Don't be so depressed. Just do as the clerk said. It can also haul goods. It also uses an Originium engine. Although its off-road performance is uncertain, it can at least run. And you see, they also give it concentrated Originium fuel, which saves you money on refueling."

After listening to Zhenli's words, Tu Fang felt that there was nothing to complain about. After all, it only cost 4000 yuan in common currency, so what else did he need a bicycle for?

Boom boom boom~ Boom boom boom~

With the unique roar of the engine, the tricycle was successfully started.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Come on, Anna, get in the car! I still have some cash now, so I'll go buy some more things."

Zhenli hummed and climbed over to the back of the car.

Tu Fang looked at the more than 2000 universal currencies left in his hand and felt that it would be a waste if he didn't spend them, so he decided to spend more than 1000 to buy some strange survival items, just in case they were useful in the wilderness?

Zhenli, who was watching from the side, felt that this person really did not take money seriously. She was very careful when buying books for herself, for fear that if she bought a few too many, she would have little pocket money left.

One one one one one one one one one one one

"Yeah! That's about it!"

Tu Fang looked at the supplies piled up like a small mountain on the cargo box behind the tricycle and said with a look of satisfaction.

"You know it's almost time! Do you know that the money you spent today is enough for an ordinary Ursus family to live for several months?"

Zhenli looked at Tu Fang and said silently:

"Well, this is necessary. After all, we have to cross such a large wilderness. What if something goes wrong if we don't make enough preparations?"

"Haha, as long as you are happy."

As the sun sets, the yellow sunlight shines through the tall buildings and onto Tu Fang. Tu Fang looks at the sky, then at the truth, and suddenly says:

"By the way, it's getting so late. I probably won't be able to leave today. Where should I stay tonight? Is there a hotel I can stay in?"

"I think you are dreaming. How can you stay in a good hotel? You don't even have an ID. The hotel owner won't let you stay. You can just stay at Uncle York's house tonight."

Zhenli said to Tu Fang with a look like he was a fool.

"Haha, it looks like I can only trouble Uncle York. Ugh! It's Brother York. Haha, let's go!"

Boom! Rumble, rumble, thump, thump (advanced tricycle transition sound effect)

With the afterglow of the setting sun, the three-wheeled motorcycle slowly went away...

One one one one one one one one one one

Early next morning

The sound of wooden steps rang out as the soles of feet collided, and Tu Fang, who had gotten up early, came down from the second floor.

"Good morning, Brother York. Why are you up so early to make breakfast?"

When Tu Fang came downstairs, he saw Yorkie, who was wearing an apron and making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Tu Fang, why are you up so early? I saw you slept quite late last night, and I thought I was going to call you. But breakfast is almost ready, so come down and eat with us."

"Okay, got it. I'll go wash up first."

Tu Fang picked up the toiletries he bought yesterday and walked towards the bathroom.

"Well, hurry up then. The food won't taste good if it gets cold."

"I know, I know, wolulu."

Tu Fang, who was brushing his teeth, replied in a vague voice.

With the sound of running water, Tu Fang finished his morning wash.

"Brother York's cooking is not bad, but it feels a little too greasy, which is not quite to my taste."

"Hehe, do I need to tell you that? Your big brother, I used to be a cook in the army! Greasy food is just my habit. I prefer to use high-fat and high-sugar foods when cooking. After all, the army often had to be stationed in some harsh environments at that time. Eating more high-fat and high-sugar foods can effectively ensure the normal functioning of the body. Until now, it has become a habit, haha."

"I can't tell, brother. You were in the army before, but why are you an ordinary person now? Did something happen to you?"

Tu Fang was intrigued, rubbed his hands, looked at York and asked curiously:

"Well, by the way, if this touches on some of your privacy, or if you don't want to mention something, please just pretend I didn't say anything. After all, I've heard similar things before."

Tu Fang suddenly thought of something and added something.

"Hahahahahaha, I did leave the army because of some unexpected events, but this is nothing to be ashamed of. I've actually let it go a long time ago. So let me start from the beginning."

At this point, York put down the cutlery in his hand, grabbed a bottle of wine from a box of wine by the wall, and drank it directly.

When Tu Fang saw this, he couldn't help but wonder, is it healthy to drink alcohol so early in the morning?

"Speaking of the reason why I joined the army, it was my father's generation. My father and my uncle joined the army very early, which was one of the reasons why I joined the army. About ten or twenty years ago, there was a war. You should know that it was the Wudong War. Although it was only mentioned briefly, Yan Country also participated in the war at that time.

My father and uncle died in the most tragic battle of that war, the Bloody Peak Battle. You should know how tragic that battle was. After all, it is a story that has been spread all over Terra. It is said that the blood shed by the two sides at that time dyed the entire mountain red. What about that time? My brother and I are about the same age as you. When the Bloody Peak Battle just ended, we were very angry when we learned of our father's death. At that time, we joined the army together, thinking only of revenge for our father. It was a war period, and the Empire was indeed recruiting soldiers everywhere. It didn't take much effort for the two of us to successfully join.

Later, the war ended before we got to the front line, so we moved around and were stationed in various places. Finally, we were stationed on the border between Ursus and Casimir. You should also know that in history, our two countries have indeed fought many wars. Although the wars have decreased a lot in recent years, frictions on the margins still exist. My brother and I are in the same team. I don’t need to tell you what happened next, you should be able to guess it...”

When Tu Fang heard this, he understood what was going on and immediately said

"You and your brother had an accident during a routine patrol. There must have been some friction with Casimir, and your brother should have already..."

Tu Fang stopped talking here. The answer was already clear. York's brother was probably dead, and this should be the main reason why York left the army.

"Remember what I said before, that Yan people are often excluded and hostile in Ursus? The main reason is because of the war in eastern Ukraine that I just mentioned. I was also like that at the beginning, but later on, I came to terms with it. In fact, neither Yan country nor Ursus are wrong. Alas........."

At this point, York sighed heavily.

In Tu Fang's opinion, York must have experienced far more changes than what he said. There were also various minor changes that he did not mention. This series of changes gave him rich experience and the ability to judge people. As for the remaining changes, since York did not want to talk about them, Tu Fang would not ask any more.

"Okay, okay, let's stop saying those discouraging words and eat."

York suddenly spoke, diluting the somewhat sad atmosphere.

Tu Fang did not answer, but just buried his head in his food.

One one one one one one one one one one one

After finishing breakfast, Tu Fang went upstairs again, leaned against the window and looked into the distance.

Suddenly, the door was opened

"What are you looking at?"

The truth asked with some doubt

Zhenli didn't know that Tu Fang was just expressing his feelings. The conversation with Uncle York during breakfast, um... made Tu Fang have some useless feelings, so he went upstairs to look into the distance, ready to express himself.

Tu Fang did not reply, still looking into the distance

"Don't look there. What kind of scenery can Chernobyl have? Let's go quickly. Try to pass the security check this morning. You still have a long way to go before you leave Chernobyl!"

Zhenli's words completely woke Tu Fang up from his useless expression.

"Got it, got it. I'll quickly clean up. Anna, you go downstairs and wait for me."

"Oh, then pack up quickly. I'll go down first."

Seeing Tu Fang like this, Zhenli didn't say any more words and turned around and went downstairs to wait for him.

One one one one one one one one one one one

"Have you brought everything?"

The truth asked

"I've seen it several times, and I'm going to leave without missing a single one."

As soon as Tu Fang finished speaking, the engine of the Source Stone tricycle under his butt started to work.

The tricycle, accompanied by the roar of its engine, slowly went away and moved slowly into the distance.

...............After some time

"This is the checkpoint for leaving the city. Now is the mobile city's parking period. After you leave the checkpoint, turn left and take Road 3 to get off the mobile city. Then follow the map and enter the main road. Finally, go around to the fork road and enter the wilderness. After driving for a while in this wilderness, about half a month, you should be able to see the Dragon Gate."

"Well, I see."

Tu Fang didn't say too much nonsense

"Well, that's good. I can only accompany you here. I'll go over and negotiate first. They will give you a checkup later. After the checkup, you can leave. You stay here and don't move. I'll be back soon."

Zhenli stood up and walked towards the checkpoint, and started talking to a staff member at the checkpoint. After a while, Zhenli showed the direction and headed towards the checkpoint.

When Tu Fang drove his tricycle to the checkpoint, Zhenli came over and said

"Well, that person will come over with a ring-shaped device in a moment, and you just put your hand in it. Because it's a blood draw, there will be a needle stick, so don't panic, just pass it normally. I remember that you should not be infected. When the bracelet turns green, you just follow the inspector out, and I can only accompany you here."

Not long after the truth was spoken, a tall Ursus man came over with a round bracelet. Tu Fang didn't think much about it and put his hand in. With a stinging pain, the blood collection was completed. About 10 seconds later, the small light bulb on the bracelet emitted a green light. At this time, the Ursus man waved to Tu Fang to follow him, so Tu Fang drove the three-wheeled vehicle behind him.

"Goodbye! Tu Fang, see you later!"

"Yeah! See you later!"

As they were about to leave the checkpoint, Tu Fang and Zhenli waved goodbye.

The Ursus man who was in charge of taking Tu Fang out also looked at Tu Fang and said nothing. He just waved his hand to signal Tu Fang to drive in that direction. Tu Fang didn't say much. Oh, right, check the map, drive the tricycle in that direction...

One one one one one one one one one one one one

"Ah, it's too far to see anymore."

Looking at Tu Fang's tricycle going away, Zhenli sighed, turned around and prepared to go home. At this moment, Zhenli happened to run into an acquaintance.

"Uncle York, you actually followed me?"

Zhenli looked at the guest who followed him and said with some doubt

"But Uncle York, are you really at ease letting him cross the wilderness alone? I always feel that something will happen to him. After all, his IQ is..."

Zhenli spoke with some concern.

"Haha, your worries are unnecessary. Tu Fang is not really that stupid. What happened before was just a minor incident. I can see that. I am always very good at judging people."

"Oh, I know."

The truth spoke helplessly

"But why did you come here secretly to deliver Tu Fang? If you wanted to come, couldn't you just come directly?"

"Why did you come? It's just to show your concern for the younger generation. As for why you don't show up? Didn't I give it away? Haha!"

York suddenly put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky and laughed.

"Haha, as long as you are happy →＿→"

The truth said helplessly

"Okay, little Anna, it's getting late, let's go back quickly."

"I know, and I'm not a kid anymore!"

"Haha, I get it, I get it, our little Anna isn't little anymore! Hahaha."

York said, and walked in the direction he came from.

"Ugh."

Zhenli sighed helplessly and followed.

.....................................

As the road turned one after another, looking at the increasingly sparse buildings and the increasing smoke and dust, Tu Fang was very foresighted and put on the goggles and mask he had bought earlier. Accompanied by the smoke and dust, Tu Fang passed the last turn, left Chernobyl, and officially entered the vast wilderness.

"Goodbye, Chernobog, and goal, Gantry!"
