Ark Journey

The Reunion soldiers roared, and then a massacre began.

Looking at the red land and the corpses scattered all over the ground, Tallulah said to Xue Zhi who was standing beside her:

"Xue Zhi, you should be able to capture the remaining people and their belongings, right?"

"of course."

Points of glow appeared, and with the help of the spiritual power that swept across the entire village, the people who had been hiding, along with their belongings in their homes, all flew into the air involuntarily, and were then thrown by Xue Zhi into an open space outside the village.

"Throw the body into the village."

Xue Zhi did as she was told, and then Tallulah lit the fire, turning the entire village, where no one was left alive, into a sea of fire.

Then she turned her head and looked down at the group of people with obvious hatred and fear in their eyes.

"You now have two choices. One is to die here, and the other is to leave. The farther away the better."

Tallulah's voice revealed indifference. The black ashes and the burning village behind her made her look like a tyrant.

The villagers looked at each other, but in the end no one dared to stand up. They quickly packed up the things around them, and some even tried to snatch things from others because they knew that the days to come would be even more difficult.

Tallulah said nothing about this behavior, she just waved her hand to signal the Integration Movement to withdraw.

After the mobile city left, the fire and falling snow became more intense, even spreading out of the village and into the nearby woods.

Watching the mobile city gradually disappear in the heavy snow, the villagers who were limping through the snow with all kinds of things on their backs said viciously:

"Damn infected!"

On an elevator, Alina, who was at the end of the group, gently pulled Xue Zhi's sleeve, but found nothing.

"Xue Zhi, is Tallulah okay?"

She did not go with Alina, but returned to the mobile city first.

Wrapping Alina's hand with telekinesis, Xue Zhi comforted her.

"Don't worry, she didn't do anything wrong, and she was even too lenient. Doing this will cause endless troubles."

"You said that Tallulah has become weak. Is it because of me?"

"A little bit, but mostly because they are just ordinary people, even though they do deserve to die. She is the leader, so she will think more, so it becomes like this."

The ordinary members of the Reunion Movement did not think too much. At first, they simply followed Tallulah's orders to kill all the people who should be killed. But after Xue Zhi told them everything she had heard, these people felt that their actions were absolutely justified.

Those who kill will always be killed.

At night, in Xue Zhi's dormitory, when she was having dinner with Alina, there was a sudden knock on the door.

After opening the door, the two saw Tallulah holding a bottle of vodka and three glasses.

"Tallulah?"

She smiled and shook the bottle in her hand.

"Excuse me, would you mind having a drink with me?"

A space was cleared on the table to hold the full wine glasses and a notebook of Tallulah's.

After three rounds of drinking, Tallulah, who had finished half a bottle by herself, was already feeling a little dizzy. She opened her notebook and read out the words on it.

"Xue Zhi, the books you gave me told me to unite all those who can unite everyone. Why, today..."

Xue Zhi knew what she meant.

"The situation is different. The conflicts between the infected and normal people in Ursus are too intense. Moreover, some people really cannot or are not worthy of unity. Such people are black sheep in the organization and will be kicked out sooner or later."

"Then you are really a cold man."

This sentence made Xue Zhi take back all the remaining words she was about to say.

"...I was talking to you about serious matters, but you did this to me? It seems that you really drank a lot."

Then the wine glass in Tallulah's hand and the wine bottle beside her flew away automatically.

"Well, actually I understand it myself, but I just think it's a pity. I wanted to try to pull them onto the mobile city as well."

"Don't think about this right now, or even for a short time. The foundation of the Reunion Movement is the infected. It's best to focus on them first, and then consider matters related to normal people. Otherwise, forcing the two together will easily cause a split within the Reunion Movement."

"Been taught a lesson."

Pulling over her notebook, Tallulah wanted to write something on it, but she was so drunk that she couldn't even hold the pen steadily.

Alina took the pen from her.

"I'll do it."

"Thank you Alina. By the way, I have another purpose for coming to you this time, which is to talk to Xue Zhi about something else."

"what?"

Tallulah straightened up in a daze.

"It's about you playing both sides."

"Ah, this, I don't think it's a big deal. What, you want to fight with me and take Alina away from me?"

Tallulah was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have heard Alina say the same thing.

"Why are you two so obsessed with solving problems through violence?"

"Because I'm sure you can't convince me with words."

"Too."

"So let's not talk about this topic anymore."

Tallulah laughed. She felt truly relaxed being able to speak to her friend without reservation.

"Are you afraid?"

"What the hell, you think words, laws, or morals can limit me? I obey them only because I still have the bottom line as a human being."

Xue Zhi still likes eating beef very much, and she doesn’t have any big pursuits.

Tallulah also shook her head.

"That's definitely not possible. Your power is enough to break them all. The big countries are not willing to pay a huge price to deal with you. After all, it is meaningless. Moreover, there are also many people in their own country who do not abide by these rules."

"Then why is Tallulah still asking?"

"Why are you speaking for him, Alina? I'm doing this for your future happiness. Think about it, Xue Zhi is still young now. When he's older and has several wives, will he still be able to give you a happy life? Who knows, he might even quarrel over who gets into his bed every night."

Alina immediately understood what Tallulah meant and her face turned red.

As the protagonist of the conversation, Xue Zhi's mouth twitched.

“I thought I should do something.”

For example, remove the vacuum barriers that are set up around every night, especially those facing Tallulah's dormitory.

Chapter 71: Anti-Armor Preparation

Tallulah turned her head and looked at Xue Zhi. She was very curious.

"What do you want to do?"

Xue Zhi raised her hand, and a gust of wind suddenly blew into the house, which had closed doors and windows.

"Some little insignificant things."

"That's all? Okay, that's all I have to say. I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

As Tallulah spoke, she stood up shakily and was about to leave, then fell headfirst onto the table. Fortunately, Alina, who was standing next to her, quickly caught her, otherwise she would have ended up with grease stains all over her body.

After a quick check, Alina breathed a sigh of relief.

"She fell asleep."

"That's normal. She drank so much in such a short time, so if she doesn't get drunk, then who will? Put her on the sofa over here. Let's keep an eye on her tonight and make sure nothing unexpected happens."

"Ah."

After moving the table away, Xue Zhi and Alina put Tallulah on the sofa.

Then Xue Zhi discovered some other inconveniences of the beast-eared girl.

Tallulah's big fleshy tail is different from Alina's, and an ordinary sofa can barely allow her to lie flat, and she has horns on both sides of her head.

"This tail, this horn... can only be placed sideways. I hope she doesn't spit it out or poke a hole in the sofa. How does she usually sleep?"

Alina thought about her time in the small village and replied:

"Make a hole in the bed for your tail."

"Is it really a hole?"

"Well, we lived in a small village at the time, and there were no specialized carpenters. It even took a lot of effort to make a bed that she could sleep in."

"alright."

After covering Tallulah with a blanket and making sure she had no obvious discomfort, Alina and Xue Zhi looked at each other.

"So how are we going to sleep tonight? Leave one person to watch over Tallulah?"

"Just sleep however you want. I'll just watch over her."

"also."

However, Alina obviously misunderstood Xue Zhi's meaning.

After clearing away the things on the table, Xue Zhi hugged Alina in her arms, and this action made her face turn red all of a sudden.

"Wait, Tallulah is still here."

"Don't worry, she's sleeping like a dead pig, she can't hear anything."

The next morning, Tallulah woke up from her dream after sleeping on the sofa all night.

The surrounding lights made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Morning?"

Alina, who heard her voice, brought over a glass of water.

"Yes, come on, drink this glass of water, you will feel better."

After taking the water, Tallulah looked around.

"Are you alone? Where's Xue Zhi?"

"He went to the factory. Someone was looking for him."

"Oh. By the way, is the soundproofing here so bad? I heard a lot of noises when I was sleeping."

Alina's face suddenly turned red.

"Maybe. We can just modify the doors and windows when the time comes."

In the factory, a pile of boards were floating next to Xue Zhi.

The man who had previously healed his finger was talking in front of him.

"Leader, that's about it. The scratches are too badly damaged, so these are the only ones we can reproduce. And we don't have the equipment to activate them yet."

Xue Zhi issued another task.

"Try to make one. I won't treat you unfairly. I'll give you work points, which you can exchange for treatment times later. Now let me try out their effects first."

"Thank you, sir, but these boards are very sensitive to energy flow and might burn out if used directly."

Xue Zhi waved her hand, signaling him to stay calm.

"Don't worry, my ability to manipulate energy is unmatched by most people. Come with me, and let's find a safe place to test it."

"Yes."

The test began in an open space outdoors.

The first panel floated in front of her, and Xue Zhi carefully infused energy into it.

As energy flowed in, he felt that the circuits on this panel were more fragile and uneven, so he could only test it with the smallest power first.

It took him some time to figure out the limits of what the panel could withstand.

"Done. Hopefully it won't cause any big noise."
