Longmen Memoirs

"Whether it's important or not, I won't know until I find her." Snake said, "But one thing is for sure, that is, she is still alive."

"She must be alive."

The snake said he was going to Ursus to find a person, and he only had that person's name, but Ursus was huge, much bigger than Syracuse, and it would be difficult to find a specific person there with just a name.

But he said it for sure.

He was sure that the person was alive, and he was sure that he would find her.

A guy who lies so much that it's hard to tell how much of what he says is true.

Snowfield

[Hui Jie:

When I first became an infected person, I lived in a state of confusion.

I knew Cosiche wanted to use me for a lot of things, but I was always afraid, what exactly did he want from me?

Is he planning to use some means to destroy the infected communication network that I have spent so much time building, or is he planning to let me divide the infected and disperse them into urban factions and settlement factions?In a more terrifying situation, will he plan to let the infected form a new army and lead Ursus to war again?

I can only guess. The darkness hangs over me, lingering, but I can only move forward.

There is a snow monster, she seems to be named Petrova. Yesterday she fried oil seeds with tumor milk. This method is really strange and the taste is quite interesting. 】

"You mean that thing... I remembered it. It's so fast, it's been two years." Alina sighed and looked at Tallulah in front of her, and asked curiously: "The soldiers passed it around Is it true, so you really had a fight with her? I heard that you blew up that abandoned city."

"It's not that exaggerated. The rumors will always become more and more unbelievable." Tallulah replied helplessly: "...I just burned her Origin Stone ice crystals."

"Sashenka, don't run around, you may slip!"

Alina looked at a child running past her and Tallulah with a straight face, and the child turned back.

"I understand, Teacher Alina."

Alina looked away.

"Looking at how they can live freely now, it's pretty good." Tallulah said suddenly.

"This is my duty." Alina replied with some pride.

"Honestly, I didn't expect you to volunteer to teach the children."

"My relationship with the children is better than my relationship with Ursus." Alina said, and then asked belatedly: "...What did you just say you burned?"

"Frost Star's Origin Stone Ice Crystal, a magical device used by her team, I guess." Tallulah answered uncertainly.

"That's... Frost Star." Alina said in surprise: "She must not be convinced."

"Ha, that's right." Tallulah smiled: "So as soon as I took a breath, half of my body was frozen by her. When I reacted, she had already slashed at my neck with an ice knife."

"I stopped her from coming. Damn it, this sword was covered in frost for the first time in years."

Tallulah put her hands on her waist, and she said with some pride: "This is probably the first time she has seen someone who can cut a gap with her knife."

"Ah, I can see that you are happy to talk about this." Alina looked at Tallulah with a look that I knew and asked: "Are you quite proud?"

"No...well, indeed." Alina's eyes made Tallulah unable to refute: "Well, this child, the one hiding behind the fence, what is her name?"

Tallulah saw several children hiding behind the fence and eavesdropping on their conversation.

Alina looked back.

"Liubafu, don't eavesdrop here, Liuba! I will read a story to you in the next class." Alina glared at them and pretended to scare them: "Yes, let's tell a story about the ghosts in the gray forest... …terrifying story!”

After she finished speaking, she faced Liu Baofu who was a little scared. "Can you help the teacher with those sawdust? Put them in a basket, thank you."

Watch the kids walk away.

She turned around and asked: What happens next?

"After that, Frost Star...Alina, you also know that this is Frost Star. Her name spread among the infected warlocks in the northwest tundra earlier than me."

"I thought you didn't like people talking about your name."

"I just don't like it when people use this name to threaten others, but if warriors hear this name and want to challenge me personally, that's good."

Tallulah raised her head slightly, looking confident.

"Unlike you, Shuangxing will not accept any challenges." Alina didn't think so: "If you think so, you really made her angry."

"She is the top magician among the infected, the top team leader, and the strongest warrior among the infected."

Tallulah explained what Alina wanted to say.

She shook her head.

"Don't get me wrong, Alina, I'm not aiming for this goal."

"But in the eyes of many people, you are similar. Some children say they want to become like Frost Star in the future, while others say they want to be a hero like you."

Alina said this as if she was giving a subtle reminder.

Tallulah hurriedly raised her hand to interrupt her.

She doesn't want to be regarded as a hero, and she doesn't really like the term hero. Heroes never end well.

"Stop, stop, I really don't like this word. What about you, Alina, what do you think?"

"Everyone is different in my eyes."

"I always think that's what you would say." Tallulah said with a sincere expression: "Actually, I don't know much about what kind of life Shuangxing lived when she was a child. She had a good upbringing. Maybe she lived a good life. Don’t let any child go through what I went through.”

"You are well-educated too, Tallulah."

"I don't want to mention it."

Alina paused.

"... Tallulah, none of us know whether their experiences in this land will be more absurd than what we have encountered."

"Depressing words."

"That's why I want to be a teacher."

"My teacher is not like you." Tallulah emphasized the teacher's tone, and she sighed softly: "I understand what you mean, you mean Frost Star may also..."

"Who knows, no one infected has the same life."

"Huh, in short, after the dispute with Shuangxing, I never dared to slack off in skill training, not to mention spells, swordsmanship as well. I can't lose to her in any of these."

Alina smiled. She liked Tallulah who knew her shortcomings but was not lost or too blind.

"I know you had a fight with her, but what next?"

"It wasn't until her anger subsided that she told me that he didn't make the decision."

Alina suddenly thought of something.

"Then only one person can decide."

"Like you said, yes, not long after our fight ended, a... person came from the other side of the city."

Tallulah considered her words. She still couldn't forget the shock she felt at that time.

"Does it take so much effort for you to think about it?"

"It should be said that the first impression was so shocking that I could only think of ways to pick out some words for you. My eyes at noon were focused on him, but the muddy black on his body could not be illuminated." Tallulah said. : "I was talking to Frost Star about my plan. I said that I would contact infected people in other cities. I wanted to raise funds to build a small mobile city for survival. I invited them to join the plan..."

Tallulah paused.

"When I saw his shadow, I couldn't speak anymore."

"why?"

"Because I found myself less confident."

"You also lack confidence?" Alina asked in surprise: "I have never seen you lack confidence."

"Yeah, but that's... a patriot."

"You couldn't convince him?"

"Not yet." Tallulah sighed: "You know what happened next. After the friendly discussion between Frost Star and I, our team successfully merged with the guerrillas."

Chapter 4 Disagreements in the snow of Beiyuan, naive and unrealistic idealists

Tallulah's eyes dimmed.

He thought of that tall figure, a mainstay among the infected, who had tried countless times to persuade the other party to accept her plans and views.

But every time she tried to speak, shrouded in the shadow of the other party, looking at her eyes that had been tempered by wind and frost and now only had calmness, she could not be as confident as she was when facing ordinary infected people. Talk freely.

Alina saw this.

Tallulah was a little discouraged, perhaps not discouraged but frustrated. Alina thought that it was probably normal to be frustrated in front of that old gentleman. After all, he was like a legendary figure.

The young red dragon took her fawn and embarked on her ideal salvation journey, but the story was not as smooth and peaceful as in the novel.

"It's good, Tallulah. Anyway, after hearing that they could go with the guerrillas, many of the infected people here are very happy." Alina comforted softly, and this was all she could do: "These two We have been better off over the years than before, you made the right choice, you are right this time, Tallulah."

"But... I think the guerrillas don't value me and other infected fighters, but they can't ignore the infected who are traveling with us."

Although saying this makes people feel a little discouraged, it is true. With the strength of the guerrillas, they really don't need Tallulah and his group of infected warriors right now.

Her opinions were not valued, and perhaps even in the eyes of the guerrillas, they did not pay much attention to her ideas.

"Then there's no need to be discouraged, because you think so too." Alina said.

"But for two years, there has been no progress."

Before joining the guerrillas two years ago, she had not seen even a shadow of the plans and ideas she had formulated in her mind.

Alina feels that Tallulah is too eager. Her ideas are not bad, but they may not all be good.

She thought about it.

"Well, Tallulah, when did you start [+

Tallula walked away in front of her with a grimace and no fighting spirit, which made Alina feel that she should do something.

"More than a year ago..." Tallulah said: "Shortly after we merged with the guerrillas, until now."

----

"This is impossible."

Froststar retorted without thinking.

"We don't even know how many infected people are living on the tundra under the bastard rule of Ursus. It's too early to talk to the guerrillas about the infected people in the city at this time."

It’s too much to take for granted. Of course the idea is good, but it’s impossible no matter how you look at it.

"We are not abandoning the infected people on the tundra, otherwise how could I take them with me?" Tallulah explained, her voice carrying a certain certainty: "Sooner or later, we have to come back, and our goal is to let them go with us." Ursus, no, the infected people across the land unite..."

"Maybe we are in different places, but there is no difference in our unwillingness to accept our circumstances. My friends in the city call this behavior integration."

Tallulah said: "He called on the infected to unite, calling themselves an integration movement, around the same belief, to protest against Ursus' current cruel rule of the infected."

"We should also find an opportunity to protest against the exploitation of the mines by Ursus soldiers on the frozen soil. This might make them change their ways."

There was no mercy in Froststar's words. Tallulah's idea was too naive.

protest?If the protests were effective, Ursus would not have so many infected people dying. If the protests were effective, they would not have to sit here and suffer from hunger and cold.

Froststar knows it all too well.Protesting will only make Ursus feel that they are weak, that they are easier to bully, and that their suffering comes from themselves.

Ursus has a contempt for the weak in their bones. They will never sympathize with anyone, they will only feel that they deserve their sin, even if the sin is what they think they are.

"Tallulah, we don't talk about the people of Ursus, we only talk about the soldiers. The Ursus army will not let anyone go." Froststar raised his eyebrows and said: "If you went to the south to protest, then We might as well just go find a division and die."

"Usas is not an iron plate, Frost Star, this is our opportunity. What the integrated movement has to do is to convey belief, but I see more opportunities, and we also have to convey a signal."

"What signal?"

"[You are not alone]"

"..."

Shuangxing fell silent, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
