Ark Journey

She had already seen the intimacy between Xue Zhi and Alina today, which explained why Alina came out of Xue Zhi's tent that day.

Xue Zhi waved her hand.

"No, I'm afraid the patriots will come and beat me up after they find out. Besides, I'm not helping you for any reason."

Froststar smiled.

"My dad isn't such a pedantic person, and I don't think you can beat him."

At night, Alina, who had been chatting with Tallulah for the whole afternoon, walked into Xue Zhi's tent. She had already put down her leather armor and sword and changed into the skirt given by Xue Zhi.

"I said I'd come back and have a drink with you, but it took until now."

"It's a small matter, and there's no rush."

Alina took off her shoes and sat on the blanket. There was no smell after running outside all day, so she must have washed them.

While placing wine and food on the table, Xue Zhi asked:

"You don't smell like sweat. How did you wash it in this freezing weather?"

Alina sat on the blanket, holding up her skirt. Her little butt had gained a lot of flesh after being fed for a few days.

"Usually I go and chop wood and boil water myself. Today I am taking a group bath with the newcomers. There are several people in the Reunion Movement who have mastered water and fire-related Originium techniques."

"Is that so? I can do these too. Putting two together can even release warm water directly. How about washing here from now on?"

Alina, who was pouring wine, blushed. This was too embarrassing. If Xue Zhi washed here, what would happen might make her face bleed.

"Forget it for now. I, I'm not ready yet, and we've only known each other for a short time..."

"You may have misunderstood what I meant, but it doesn't matter, let's drink first."

Alina nodded.

"Ah."

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the slightly tipsy Alina talked about what she had said to Tallulah today.

"Her idea is similar to yours. She is currently thinking about how to tell those people and the future organizational structure. She has also sent a lot of scouts out to find what you call a safe base."

"I see. However, the base is not a long-term solution. Natural disasters hanging over our heads are always a big problem. I don't think you have anyone who can predict natural disasters."

"Indeed not, it would be nice if we could have a mobile city."

Alina was much more frank after getting drunk. She leaned on Xue Zhi's chest and slowly talked about many things that had just happened, including the arrangements for the newcomers and some conflicts that had arisen.

During this period, Tallulah hanged several of the most violent troublemakers and established her authority in front of these newcomers with her iron-blooded attitude. She has made changes.

After finishing the wine in the jug, the drunk Alina staggered and wanted to go back, but Xue Zhi hugged her waist and pushed her down.

"You're already so drunk, just rest here with me. Don't worry, I won't attack a drunk person."

"Well, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?"

Alina turned around in Xue Zhi's arms, and her hair narrowly passed by Xue Zhi's sight.

This made Xue Zhi gasp inwardly, and even the rune shield on her body was activated.

[Fuck! There are still some flaws in Beast Mother.]

Gently touching Alina's ear, Xue Zhi always wanted to know how it was different from a human ear.

"Of course I won't lie to you. I prefer a situation where both parties are willing to do something rather than taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

Alina's body suddenly went limp after her ears were pinched, and then her horn hit Xue Zhi's face.

Holding Alina, who was panting softly, Xue Zhi, with many runes on her face, muttered to herself:

"...Should I not have done that?"

After settling Alina who had fallen asleep, Xue Zhi began to read a book in the dark. He always felt that he had many interesting magic tricks or unique uses that he had not yet discovered.

Training the Yeti team, exploring the surrounding areas, communicating with the Sarkaz in order to exchange some Originium from them, chatting with Alina, the days in the new base passed quickly, and there was no Ursus infected inspection team to disturb, so it can be said that the years were peaceful.

However, something happened today that made Xue Zhi very excited. A scout discovered a super small mobile city heading towards the mine that had been captured before.

This basically flew him to Tallulah's tent.

"Take that city. I will do it myself!"

Chapter 32: All the wise men have arrived, young and old have gathered

In Tallulah's tent, she and Xue Zhi were discussing the pros and cons of the matter with each other.

"Xue Zhi, we don't have that many military forces. The information brought by the scouts estimates that the mobile city should be responsible for refining source stones, and according to the size it can carry at least 20,000 people. As for how many defenders there are, we don't even know."

Xue Zhi really didn't take Ququ's 20,000 people seriously. Although he had never planned so much, he had controlled natural disasters before and even prevented a single source stone from falling within the entire range of the disaster. This was already a proof of his strength.

"It doesn't matter. The enemy is not a problem. I will do my best to deal with them. A mobile city is hard to come by, but the choice is yours. After all, you are the leader of the Reunion Movement, and seizing a mobile city is not necessarily a good thing."

Tallulah nodded.

"We still have some time to think about it. The latest news is that the city has slightly changed its direction and has first gone to another nearby mine. At its current speed, it will take at least three days to reach the mine that we have emptied. Let's do it tonight. I will call all the influential people in the Reunion Movement to discuss it together. Remember to come and take Alina with you."

"Ah."

When they returned to their tent, Alina was still sleeping. They had been drinking together again yesterday. Xue Zhi learned the news from Shuangxing who came by chance.

The training of her snow monsters has finally shown some progress. Although they cannot use the maximum formation, they can be divided into three groups to be responsible for attack, ground defense and sky defense respectively.

The sun shone into the tent. Alina rubbed her eyes and sat up. The thin straps slid down from her fair and smooth shoulders, revealing her soft breasts that had recently begun to grow again.

"Its daybreak?"

"It's about nine in the morning."

"You just came back from outside, what happened?"

"The scouts discovered a mobile city. I just went to find Tallulah and planned to shoot it down, but Tallulah decided to hold a meeting for everyone to discuss it tonight."

Alina, who was still a little confused, suddenly came to her senses after hearing Xue Zhi's words.

"Mobile city? This is something we really need to think about carefully."

"really."

Sitting at the coffee table, Xue Zhi opened the notebook in which he and Alina had written a lot of things. Several pages of the notebook were specifically about the situation of successfully capturing a mobile city.

She took off the nightgown that Xue Zhi had changed for her. Over the past ten days, Alina had gotten used to wearing only underwear and a thin skirt in his tent. After putting on all her clothes and going out to wash up, she came back and sat next to Xue Zhi.

"Your idea must be to take down that city."

"Of course, this is the result we got after discussing for so long."

Turning the pages, finding things that had been discussed long ago, Alina's bright eyes blinked at a rapid frequency, a sign of quick thinking.

"But you also know what kind of results this will lead to. It's really unclear whether this is a blessing or a curse..."

A lot of things were clearly written on the paper.

The Integration Movement was able to develop, in part, or even in large part, due to Black Snake's tacit approval. He needed this infected organization to achieve his goal of making Ursus great again.

Now, the curse left by the Black Snake has been removed, and the Integration Movement has become something he cannot control. Even if the Integration Movement does nothing, it will continue to be besieged, because it has become something that can hurt Ursus after it is out of control.

Assuming that the mobile city is successfully captured, it will indeed provide all the infected with an unsafe place to live. Yes, it is not safe.

First of all, the emergence of an infected organization that can seize mobile cities in Ursus is a very serious matter for those in power. Without the cover of Black Snake, they will shift their attention and continue to encircle and suppress the Integration Movement, trying to eliminate this very dangerous organization as soon as possible.

Secondly, the ones who usually come to encircle and suppress them are ordinary troops, but in order to deal with the mobile city, the ones who come may be armored forces with high-speed warships, and Black Snake may also send internal guards to participate in the battle. If there are more of these high-end combat units, the Integration Movement will not be able to handle them, and the target is too big, making it difficult for them to escape.

The biggest problem is how to explain what will happen next to those infected, otherwise there will always be chaos.

Don't tell them, the panic caused by the attack and the lack of trust in the integration movement are the problems.

Tell them, and they will just think you are scaremongering and intend to abandon them, which is also a problem.

If there are disadvantages, there are certainly many advantages as well.

At least I can run faster when I don't have to face a natural disaster. If I can find a few natural disaster messengers, I won't have to worry about natural disasters at all.

What's more, they gained a base that could support development. It was a mobile city for processing source stones. There must be a lot of usable industrial equipment on it. Xue Zhi also built a farm for them on the support layer, which would solve part of the food problem.

Moreover, it can carry about 20,000 people, and the Integration Movement currently has only a few thousand people. The infected people who are used to hard times will definitely not mind squeezing together, so the number of people it can carry will increase.

In fact, there is another very important problem that needs to be solved, that is, where to find people who can operate and repair mobile cities. This kind of high-tech crystallization is not something that ordinary people can operate. Otherwise, it would be too much if they could not drive it away after robbing it, or it broke down on the way, or it was destroyed by someone.

Taking out a few biscuits and feeding them to Alina, Xue Zhi said:

"It's up to you tonight. I haven't been a member for long, so my words certainly don't carry as much weight as yours, and I can't persuade those old people. I'll stand behind you and listen when the time comes."

After eating the biscuit, Alina licked the biscuit crumbs on Xue Zhi's fingertips. Food cannot be wasted.

"Leave it to me, but you may still need to show your strength to give some confidence to those who are willing to seize the mobile city."

"Ah."

At night, all the cadres of the Reunion Movement gathered together, and even the Patriots walked into Tallulah's tent with their backs bent.

Here, in addition to the commanders of several combat units that Xue Zhi was more familiar with, there were also several uncommon cadres in charge of logistics.

Moreover, it was his first time seeing Mudstone, and he really had no idea how much padding she had put in that armor to turn the originally not-so-tall Sarkaz girl into a "strong man" who was only a head shorter than the Patriot.

Chapter 33: The Messenger of the Scourge Arrives

Just as a group of people started a war of words in Tallulah's tent, a group of guests arrived in a booming town in the southern region of Kazdel thousands of kilometers away.

A very long convoy was connected end to end, and each car had the logo of the Scourge Messenger on it, which helped them avoid many conflicts along the way.

Seeing the road sign ahead, two people jumped out of the car in front, one of them was Sarkaz, and the other was Luper with a big tail.

"Kazitun? That should be the translation. I hope my Kazdel language is not rusty yet. Provence, is this the place the client mentioned? It's developing really well. The farmland outside looks well cultivated."

Provence, carrying a large crossbow and a long sword, took out a notebook, looked at it, and nodded.

"It should be. The next step is to find a man named Hedley."

"Row."

The convoy slowly entered the town. It was not too late yet and there were still many people walking on the road in the brightly lit town.

They looked at the group of Scourge messengers entering the village with great curiosity. A few people who thought it was a new caravan came over and asked a few questions. After learning that it was not them, they were still very interested in these visitors who claimed to be Scourge messengers.

Provence was very curious why they were not afraid of the messengers of natural disasters. After all, their appearance usually brought bad news. Of course, it was not ruled out that these people did not know what they were doing.

Ines, who happened to be coming from the same direction, noticed something unusual here. She walked into the crowd and asked Provence:

"Who are you?"

Seeing the crowd automatically make way for Inès, Provence knew that this person must be the town leader or something like that.

"We are the natural disaster messengers commissioned by Mr. Xue Zhi. We are currently looking for a man named Hedley."

Inès glanced at the logos on those people's cars and said with a smile:

"Xue Zhi? Messenger of the natural disaster? Find a few people to follow me, I will take you to find Hedley. The rest of you can wait for a while, or try our delicacies or something like that."

There are quite a few of these people, and maybe they can make some money.

The former mercenary has now become the housekeeper.

After the Sarkaz Scourge Messenger translated Inès' words, Provence nodded.

"Ah."

After selecting a few people, Provence, the leader of this team of disaster messengers, ordered the rest to disband on the spot.

"Disband on the spot, remember to keep the communicator open, we'll go first."

"clear."

Following Inès, the Provence people walking on the street were amazed at the neatly arranged houses on both sides of the road. There were not only houses for living, but also various shops providing various services.

Along the way, Provence has seen several shops that are still crowded.

The development of this town is amazing. No wonder Xue Zhi would entrust them to help these people build a natural disaster warning system. It would be a pity to let this town be destroyed by a natural disaster.

At the town government, Ines led these people to find Hedley who was still working.

"Hedley, a natural disaster messenger has come to us on behalf of Xue Zhi."

Hedley, who was still writing, raised his head and looked at the people behind Inès.

"Please take a seat first. Messenger of natural disasters? Was it commissioned by Xue Zhi?"
