Longmen Memoirs

"Okay, then don't be too harsh with your words and don't reprimand them too much. After all, their purpose is just to steal some food and leave us. They haven't caused irreparable damage to us yet."

"...That's it at most."

"Okay." Tallulah nodded.

The shield guard looked at the simple map spread on the table.

"Since there are already pickets operating in the west... we cannot let them find traces of these infected people. In that case, they should be left behind..."

A knock on the door interrupted the shield guard's words.

Everyone in the meeting looked towards the door.

Tallulah frowned.

"Please come in."

An infected soldier opened the door, looking slightly anxious.

His eyes fell on Tallulah in the center of the crowd, and he took several breaths before calling her name.

"Tallulah! Come on, it's the picket team. They are searching the village where we traded food! Retreat now? If we retreat now, we will be gone by the time they find our traces!"

"..."

"No, the risk of being exposed if we retreat together is too great. The pickets are not fools. They will definitely follow the traces and catch up. We won't be able to run away by then."

"Then what to do!"

"Lead the pickets here and we ambush them near here. Even if we leave traces, we should make the pickets think that we did this."

"Wait, Tallulah!" the shield guard said, "Think again! Within ten kilometers is the sentry post of the Fourth Army. Once the pickets report, they will be dispatched! The captain is not here now, and we can't stop him at all. Live them."

"If these two villages are plundered for sheltering us, no, it's useless not to shelter us. As long as they suffer because of the infected, no more villages will be willing to exchange supplies with us." Tallulah shook her head and said: "We have no other choice."

"Then intercept the message..."

The shield guard said subconsciously.

Tallulah looked at him, her sharp gaze making it impossible for the shield guard to say the rest of his words.

"How to intercept it? Kill everyone. Your idea will make the news spread further and become even worse!"

Tallulah said, looking at the shield guards who were hesitant to speak, she knew that the shield guards were just anxious for a moment, but she had to control their thoughts.

Tallulah's expression did not soften at all, but became more severe.

"Listen, if you kill someone to cover it up, then the body is new evidence. If you destroy the body and eliminate traces, then the blank space is new evidence."

"There is only one way to prevent bad things from spreading among people, and that is to not let bad things happen." She looked around the room and said, "What we have to do now is to broaden our path and be willing to continue walking. Are there any problems with the way for future generations going down?"

"No."

"What you said makes sense, so let's do it."

"Let's go." Tallulah led the people out of the door. She turned back to look at the soldier who came to report: "By the way, what you just said is right. Protect the non-combatants and help them evacuate first." Walk."

She said, pressing the sword on her waist and looking at the others.

"We still have a tough battle to fight. This time I will fight it with you, and this time there is no frost star or patriot around us. Remember, maybe one day you may not even have me around, but as long as one It's right, it's possible, we don't need anyone around us, and you don't need anyone around."

The soldiers were stunned and looked at her in unison.

"it is good!"

Tallulah turned back without stopping.

"let's go."

------

Alina didn't expect to stay up so late chatting with the painter named Lev in the village, but as soon as she came to her senses, the sky seemed to have darkened.

Tallulah must be worried about herself now, Alina thought to herself. Tallulah must be worried if she hasn’t gone back after so long. There is also the infected education group that Tallulah mentioned before, Alina Feeling really unsure, she just talked about those principles with Tallulah. If she really stood on the podium and told others, no matter what the other soldiers thought, Alina felt that she would be too nervous to speak out first. Words come.

But it cannot be denied that Alina also has some expectations, some expectations to truly become a member of the infected warriors and share her thoughts with others. She doesn’t know if she can do it well, but she will definitely try her best. Do it, even if it means not letting Tallulah be dragged down by your own affairs, even if it's just for Tallulah's sake.

With Alina thinking this way, the heaviness and tension in her heart gradually relaxed, and even her steps became lighter when walking in the snow. She wanted to go back as soon as possible. Ever since she left her previous village, she had never been so looking forward to returning. Get to camp.

Several people coming from the other end of the road blocked Alina's path.

"Stop! You... I remember you, you are the Elafia who is always with Tallulah. What are you doing here... That car behind you, did you go to other villages to exchange supplies? ?”

An infected person stared at Alina and the cart behind him. After seeing the food on the cart, his eyes instantly became fierce.

"You...in that direction, are you the infected in the camp?"

"Not so long ago. Tallulah exiled us, *Usus expletive*, why did she do this? We were just too hungry and wanted some food, why did she drive us away!"

"Why are you talking to her so much? Looking at the food behind her, that pretentious girl in Tallulah must have hidden all the food, but she was only willing to give us some scraps that she didn't want, and she also asked us to go and live with her through life and death. .Damn bitch, I already dislike her."

Alina suddenly tightened her hand holding the reins, and she took a few steps back.

"Stop her, don't let her escape." The infected people noticed this and hurriedly blocked Alina's surroundings.

"Listen, give us everything in the car."

"...No, this is obtained in exchange for supplies from the camp. You have no right to take it away."

"Shit camp!" An infected person suddenly raised his foot and kicked Alina hard on the waist, knocking her to the snow: "We are no longer from the camp, do you think there are still people here who can help you? Do you think we are discussing with you?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense with him? Take your things away quickly, otherwise what will happen if those guys wearing iron trousers catch up with you?"

Someone said and reached out to grab the reins tightly held in Alina's hand.

"Relax, I heard you didn't let go."

"No, you can't take these."

The infected person kicked Alina hard several times on her body. Alina curled up and refused to let go of the reins.

"Can't you cut it off with a knife?"

"What are you cutting..." the infected person said harshly.

"This guy seems to have a good relationship with Tallulah. Let that bitch Tallulah feel how we feel now."

An infected person suddenly pulled out the knife in his hand.

"Wait! We don't need to kill anyone."

"Then what do you think? We robbed his food, and when he returned to the village to spread the news and the people from the camp caught up with him, what would happen to us? The only way we could survive would be to kill her."

"Then just cut off her hands and feet and leave her alive."

"Are you mentally ill? It's so cold. What's the difference between doing this and killing her?"

Alina could hear their conversation, but it was already difficult for her to open her mouth to speak. So much reluctance and fear suddenly surged in her heart, and she had not yet decided to accept her own death.

Am I going to die?

what should I do?

What would Tallulah do if I died?I'm so worried, no, I want to see Tallulah, I want to see her alive, and I still have something to say to her.

Before that, I can't die yet.

"Who do you want to kill?"

A sudden voice suddenly sounded at this time.

At some point, a man in a black cloak stood behind several infected people. He suddenly spoke. The moment they saw him, several infected people were startled.

"Picket?! No, no, he's not a picket."

The figure stood a few steps away, holding a long box in his hand. His face was shrouded in a black hood. The panicked people finally calmed down.

They uneasily drew out their crude weapons and pointed them at the stranger who suddenly appeared.

"You, who are you?!"

Chen Mo saw Alina lying on the ground. She was curled up in pain in the snow. Her long white hair was scattered in the middle of the snow. She was still holding the reins that refused to let go.

"What did you do?"

"Who are you?! It was that bitch Tallulah who sent you to kill us, right? I knew she had no good intentions and said she would let us go!"

"You just said that, Tallulah."

The man suddenly moved. Before the infected people could react, he had already pinched the throat of the infected person who had just exited. The remaining people were frightened to the spot.

The infected person subconsciously wanted to wave the weapon in his hand to resist, but the opponent's fingers just squeezed tightly, and the weapon in his hand fell to the snow due to pain.

He waved his fingers randomly until he felt that he was about to die. The other party suddenly threw him to the side of the snow. The infected person coughed violently while breathing greedily, and his face turned a suffocating dark red.

The few remaining people who saw this scene dropped their weapons on the ground in fear and turned around to run away. Fortunately, the man did not chase him. They turned back in fear, but at this moment, their bodies suddenly ignited with a blue light. The flames, the flames came so suddenly, were so dazzling in the dim sky, and reflected on the white snow. Several infected people tried to extinguish the fire on the snow in panic, but the fire became more intense because of their flesh and blood. He didn't even give them a chance to howl any more before burning them into piles of ashes.

The infected people on the ground who saw this scene opened their eyes in horror.

"You...you, don't come here, monster, don't come here!" He screamed and crawled back.

A foot stepped hard on his head and pushed him into the snow. The infected person struggled hard, but to no avail.

"From your point of view, I am indeed a monster." He heard the man speak, his voice cold and ruthless: "So, I ask, you answer!"

"you……"

"Mr. Lev... you are Mr. Lev, right?"

Chen Mo turned around, and Alina was looking at him. Her right hand seemed to be injured, so she could only hang it down and gently hold it with her left hand. There were still visible bruises and bloodshot eyes on her face.

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, then reached out to lift the hood, revealing black hair and the face that Alina had just parted with.

"Ah, I knew it was you just by the sound of the voice."

"We meet again? Miss Alina."

"I really don't want... to let you see me like this." Alina lowered her gaze and said, the gentle but a little weird deer that Chen Mo was familiar with a few hours ago was gone.

"I should have followed here earlier. If it hadn't been for wasting too much time at my place, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing."

"It's not your fault, Mr. Lev. If it weren't for you, I would be..."

After all, she couldn't continue.

"Thank you, but could you please let him go?"

"...He just wanted to kill you?"

"I know you stopped them, didn't you? Moreover, you have already killed several other people. I don't want your hands to be stained with the blood of these people again because of me."

"..."

Alina's eyes were pleading.

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment. He just suddenly remembered someone, someone who seemed to have said the same words as her. What would he do at that time?What would you do now?

What remains unchanged is this familiar land, which always seems to have no shortage of that kind of people.

Chen Mo withdrew his foot that was stepping on the infected person's head.

Yes, he doesn't have to worry about this anymore, he has escaped from that prison.

"roll!"

He said that the infected person got up from the ground in panic and ran towards the forest.

"Thank you." Alina watched him run away until he disappeared, then she looked back at Chen Mo. "You're not really a painter, are you?"

"I remember I answered your question."

"Tallulah, why do you care so much about this name?" Alina suddenly asked.

"You heard it."

Chen Mo turned around and looked at Alina.

"You are willing to let him go because you know that I, who know him, can answer your question, right? But... Mr. Lev, if you can't answer my question, even if you kill me, I won't tell you about it. Any clues to the name."

"..."

"I might actually kill you? Alina."

"Would you?"
