Staring at Bodracasti with disappointment, Tallulah sighed, gritted her teeth and managed to speak:
"Let me think about this matter again."
"What's there to think about..." Yelena wanted to say something, but Bozhukast had already held her shoulders, and his bony head shook slightly.
"Let the leader...think."
.......
Tallulah returned to her tent.
She hoped very much that the two solutions proposed by Bozhukas just now were also illusions cast by the Black Snake in his mind.
But it was hard for her to deceive herself here.
[This is the Sarkaz's style of doing things. Demons are not human. ]
[I am clearly thinking about the future of the organization, why don't they understand? This recruitment is good for the organization, bad for everyone, why can't it be implemented? It's obviously just to make the guerrillas suffer a little more. Why are you not willing to give up your personal interests a little bit? ]
【Is there no one who can understand me? 】
"Tallulah, what are you thinking about?"
A familiar gentle voice sounded in her ears. Tallulah raised her head and saw Alina bending over and staring at her with some worry in front of her.
Tallulah sighed and dumped out everything that had just happened and the annoyance in her heart.
Alina was silent.
She actually didn't know much about military affairs, but as a member of this team, she could more or less see that what Bozhukasti and Yelena said was not unreasonable.
But she supported Tallulah.
Who says they are friends?
Alina rubbed Tallulah's silver hair and comforted her with a smile:
"It's okay, it's okay, Tallulah, don't be angry. There is indeed a problem of insufficient food, but we have channels to get food."
"Well, I will take some of the recent spoils to a nearby village and see if I can exchange them for some food."
"Bozhukas stood up for the old man and Yelena for the good of the integration movement. What we need to do is not to argue with them, but to find a way to relieve their concerns. This is your responsibility as a leader!"
She leaned over, hugged Tallulah, and said seriously: "Tallulah, as a leader, you have to point the way and lead everyone to walk the right path and solve the problems they face. You can't ignore the cliff under your feet just because there is a garden on the other side!"
Tallulah took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Alina! Go early and come back early!"
"Of course!" Alina nodded.
Chapter 434 Alina: Sooner or later I will be pissed off by this wood!
Ursus, tundra, guerrilla camp, corner.
Several infected people who had just come over were gathering together. The Ursus leader had a fierce look on his face and started to curse:
"*Ursus's foul language*, we shouldn't have listened to the nonsense you, a fool, told us, saying that the guerrillas had food! Brothers, Tallulah is a liar, she doesn't intend to give us food at all!"
The slightly smaller Ursus man looked underage and looked a little frightened. Upon hearing this, he quickly shook his head:
"No, no, no, boss, how could I lie to you? My brother joined the guerrillas last month. He told me all this himself! Tallulah is a good person. Many times, she would rather starve than share a bite of food with everyone. She won't abandon us..."
"Good guy? Bullshit! Do you think I'm a stupid old man?"
The leading Ursus spat and cursed with gnashing teeth:
"I'm telling you, I heard everything! Just now, that nice lady you mentioned was with that monster-looking Sarkaz, thinking about sending all of us to the patrol team as cannon fodder! Tell me, how can she be a good person?"
"This... this is impossible..."
"What's impossible?" The leading Ursus cursed and kicked the little man who wanted to say something, knocking him down in the snow. Hunger and pain in his chest made him unable to get up for a while. The leading Ursus just curled his lips and looked at the silent majority around him.
There were four other people gathered here besides him and the little bastard lying on the ground, making a total of six people, which was almost enough.
He nodded and said:
"Brothers, the purpose of everyone gathering here is very simple, it's nothing more than trying to earn a living. I was deceived by this little bastard and came here. I had thought it through when I came here. If Tallulah is really willing to share a bite of food with us brothers, it doesn't matter if we risk our lives for him. But this dog food guy is dreaming, and he even wants to use our lives to fill the barrels of the sentinels' guns! Can you accept this kind of beastly behavior?"
He stamped his foot fiercely and shouted:
"I can not!"
"I have finally figured it out. For those of us infected, there is no one we can trust. We can only rely on ourselves for everything! I'm going to tell you guys the truth. After I was infected, by chance, I awakened my Originium skills. My hearing has inexplicably become much better than before. Otherwise, I wouldn't have heard the evil plans of that woman and the Sarkaz. Besides that, I heard something else!"
The leading Ursus kept it a secret.
"If I tell you what's going to happen next, then we're all in the same boat. If you want to leave now, it's not too late."
He glanced at the remaining four Ursus men, all of whom were equally pale and thin. After hearing what he said, they looked at each other. Although they showed hesitation, no one really took a step to leave. Only the little man who was kicked down got up and turned around to leave, but before he could take a step, a stone hit him on the head. The back of his head felt hot, and he stumbled and fell to the ground again. Before he could react to what happened, the leading Ursus man rushed up, picked up the bloody stone on the ground, and hit the little man on the back of his head twice again. Until the little man fell to the ground and twitched twice and stopped moving, he stood up without changing his expression and looked at the other four again.
"This kid's brother has a job in the guerrillas. He will be a nuisance if he stays here. We can't let him get away. It's okay. Anyone of you who wants to leave can try."
He smiled and washed the blood off his hands in the snow. He glanced at the four people, and they all shook their heads quickly. Are you kidding? Who dares to really try it?
The kid on the ground still had juice oozing out of his head.
"Very good. It seems that everyone has figured it out. I won't keep you in suspense."
The leading Ursus nodded and said,
"That woman Tallulah has a friend who will take the guerrillas' spoils to a nearby village to exchange for things. How about we follow them, then ambush them, grab the food and divide it up, and then go our separate ways?"
............
In the camp, Tallulah was a little uneasy.
She didn't take it seriously at first. After all, she had just had an unpleasant argument with Yelena and the captain, and the problem of feeding two hundred mouths had not been solved. She had a lot of things to worry about, and it was normal for her to feel uneasy.
Just now, not long after Alina left, she took the initiative to go to the refugee camp where the guerrillas were operating. There were mostly old people, women and children here. Because they lacked combat effectiveness, they could only help with some logistical work. For example, they sewed clothes and shoes, helped prepare meals, and occasionally, under Alina's leadership, they organized rehearsals of one or two dances, stage plays, etc., so that the soldiers could relax after fighting.
Alina is a small leader in this group. She also works part-time teaching refugee children to read, write and tell stories. Ino and Sasha (Mephistopheles and Faust) are among these children.
Because most people in the refugee camp were not in good health, in order to ensure their survival, this group consumed more than half of the food in Tallulah's team.
The purpose of Tallulah's trip was to try to persuade everyone to reduce some rations. Everyone would suffer a little and she would take the blame, so that some of the money could be saved to feed the other two hundred people.
Then, she did bear the blame, but she was kicked out as expected.
Lobbying had no effect at all. No matter how Tallulah described the reality or described the future, everyone was only concerned about "You want to reduce our meals?"
It is true that Tallulah gave them food and saved their lives, but that does not mean that Tallulah can reduce their food rations now, that would be murdering them!
Then was before, now is now!
After talking for several hours and almost drying their mouths, they still couldn't agree on even the slightest condition. Tallulah pursed her lips and could only leave the camp dejectedly amid the boos of the adults and the suspicious looks of the children.
The sun had already set, but Tallulah felt even more uneasy. She suddenly realized that she had been stranded in the refugee camp for so long, but she had not seen a figure who should have appeared long ago.
"Why hasn't Alina come back yet?"
Tallulah's ominous premonition reached its peak, her heartbeat quickened, and she ran towards the camp.
There was no tent for herself, nor for the temporary camping site for the two hundred new refugees. There seemed to be some commotion in the northwest of the camp, but that was where Bozhukas stationed for the captain and Yelena. The shield guards and the snow monster team were resting there. Alina rarely went near that place, and the route back from the nearby village would not pass through that place...
Yes, village!
Without time to think, she ran towards the outside of the camp.
She didn't notice Yelena's call from behind who was running towards her.
"Tallulah? Tallulah! Wait a minute, there is a solution to the food problem..."
Yelena called out loudly, but she could only watch Tallulah's figure disappear into the twilight, frowning in confusion.
"What's going on here?"
Pursing her lips, Yelena turned her head and looked at the two very eye-catching foreign visitors beside her, and apologized sincerely:
"I'm sorry, Miss Angelica, Mr. Clausewitz, Tallulah seems to be in trouble, and it's getting dark. How about you wait here for a while and I'll go find her?"
"It's okay. Let's go together. Maybe I can help."
The Sakta girl named Angelica smiled and pointed to the shining halo on her head.
"It's getting dark, but darkness can't stop us, Sakota~"
Beside her, the old Sarkaz man Clausewitz, who had black devil horns on his head and should never have appeared in the same place as Sakota, nodded:
"According to the instructions of the forerunner, the Holy Mountain Hermitage has traveled thousands of miles from Lateran to the tundra. The journey is long and took several months, just to see the true face of the rumored tundra guerrillas with our own eyes. Now that we have arrived, we must take the last few steps to see Tallulah. Let us go together."
"But..." Yelena was still a little hesitant, "The tundra is very dangerous at night, you two..."
"I have a gun." Angelica pulled out the shotgun from her waist and gave a compassionate smile.
Clausewitz casually took off the staff behind him and said, "I know a little bit about medicine, so I can be prepared for emergencies."
Yelena looked at the two of them in a daze.
The cute Sakota, who had a pretty face and a bit of baby fat, was holding a shotgun with four black holes on the muzzle. On the side, the ferocious Sarkaz, who was dressed in a black robe and had a scar on his face, took out a magic wand and looked like a nanny.
What's going on? Angels physically save the dead, while demons save the wounded?
Did you get the positioning wrong?
Although she was surprised, since both of them had already asked, Yelena couldn't refuse any more, so she nodded and said, "Come with me."
.........
In the forest.
Tallulah was in a trance. She stretched out her hand and tried to pull up the Elafia girl who fell to the ground, but she only pulled up an empty sleeve.
Alina's expression was somewhat sad, and the pain was secondary. She could feel the loss of blood, the decline of vitality, and even more so, her own powerlessness, as well as the grief and regret of her friend who knelt in front of her.
"Tallulah..."
She called out in a low voice.
Tallulah came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, and tried to carry Alina who had fallen to the ground:
"Don't talk, Alina, stay awake, stay awake, let's go back to the camp together, there are medicines... Let's go together..."
"Actually, I think... you should let me go..."
Alina said weakly.
But Tallulah shook her head firmly.
Let Alina go? Impossible!
At this time, you still have the mood to play puns with me. You are in good spirits!
Alina didn't know what Tallulah was thinking, and she meant it when she told Tallulah to let it go.
Xiaota, you lack common sense. How dare you carry an injury like mine?
The pain caused by the laceration, and being carried on Tallulah's back, plus the fact that Tallulah was a hybrid of Draco and a dragon, her tail was not thick, but it was indeed very hard.
How should I put it? It feels like a physical pain that is splitting apart.
But Alina changed her mind and decided to give it up.
Even if she really returned to the camp, she knew that there was no medicine in the camp that could save her in her current condition. It would be better to just close her eyes on Tallulah's back and enjoy the last moment of peace.
That is, I can't tell her how I feel now. Otherwise, she will probably feel guilty to death.
"Tallulah..."
"Don't talk, Alina!" Tallulah suppressed her anger and sadness, growled, and interrupted Alina.
Alina suddenly felt helpless.
Why don't you give me a chance to speak? I don't even have much to say.
She ignored Tallulah and was about to continue when she saw a strange light in the woods not far away, vaguely revealing the figures of three people.
Alina's eyes lit up. Seeing that Tallulah still lowered her head, she reminded her:
“Tallulah, look forward.”
"Alina...I...I will, I promise you, I will!"
Alina felt that her brain, which was already dizzy from excessive blood loss, was about to be cleared up by this wood.
She stretched out her only hand that was still able to move and was healthy, pinched Tallulah's soft flesh, and cursed with a weak smile;
