Longmen Memoirs

If today had not happened, would he have mentioned this plan to himself? If he had not waited until he was forced into a desperate situation, would he have remained silent?

Froststar actually didn't expect much from him.

Chen Mo neither admitted nor refuted.

He just looked at Frost Star.

"How do you confirm they will choose this time?"

"If it's delayed for a few more days, they won't be able to leave even if they want to."

"Since you have already..."

She didn't continue, but Chen Mo already knew what she wanted to say.

Chen Mo did not deny it.

"Yes, I know, but I didn't stop it." Chen Mo said, looking at Shuang Xing.

"I've finished my words. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, but it's up to you to decide."

"Do I have any other choice?" Shuangxing asked with a sneer, looked at Chen Mo, and made a decision after a few seconds: "Okay, I can temporarily leave my life and the Snow Monster team in your hands. , but the ugly words are ahead, if you are just boasting, no matter if you are Tallulah's lover or not, I will never forgive you."

Chen Mo spread his palms.

"What you say is unfounded, Miss Froststar."

Shuangxing opened his collar, pulled off the amulet on his chest, and put it into Chen Mo's hand. The black amulet had strange Sammy lines outlined on it, and there was still a slight trace of body temperature left.

"Big sister..."

The snow monster who saw this scene couldn't help but speak, because it was the talisman that Big Daddy finally found for Shuangxing to sustain her life in times of crisis. Her spells were a heavy burden for the infected.

But Frost Star didn’t hesitate at all.

"You'd better remember what I said." She took back her hand and stared into Chen Mo's eyes.

"Of course." Chen Mo clenched his fingers: "After you are done, return it as it is."

There is not much trust between them. Chen Mo knows that Shuangxing is not stupid. Shuangxing can guess his thoughts when he says these things. She is not a naive fool.

Chen Mo didn't care what Shuangxing thought, but trusting someone like them was too luxurious for people who had known each other for a few days and only exchanged a few words. Therefore, Chen Mo knew how to be a bad person, which made them feel at ease.

At the very least, the white rabbit should have a lot less to worry about.

Sometimes it is often difficult for people to do something. They have to consider their own identity and the impact of the thing itself. It does not mean that it will be recognized, nor that it will be feasible if it is correct.

Chen Mo never believed this.

Whether you say he is a realist or that he is cold-blooded, he does not deny these. He does not deny that when you want to do something, what really determines whether it can be accomplished is not its quality or badness. Whether it is right or wrong depends on whether it can bring benefits to people.

Only by understanding these and these rules can the things that people believe in be realized.

Ideals are based on reality, and if idealists want to realize their ideals, they must first become a pragmatist who can distinguish the difference between reality and ideals.

But reality is often not as beautiful as ideals. Reality is cruel and ruthless, so most idealists are just idealists. They are always contradictory.

Chen Mo didn't expect Shuangxing to figure this out right away, but if she could get in touch earlier, she might not be too disappointed in the future.

The power of Ursus and the justice pursued by these infected people will inevitably collide one day.

"I guess Shuangxing must have been very angry with you at that time."

Alina said after listening to Chen Mo's story.

"You didn't see the way she glared at me. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised at all if she took action."

"Who told you to be so ruthless?" Alina said, and then asked: "Aren't you afraid that Shuangxing will cause trouble for you? Chen Mo, she really put [|

"yes."

"You said that on purpose, right?"

"How to say?"

"I just have this feeling, that you are deliberately trying to stab Frost Star. Although I am not very familiar with her, Tallulah tells me a lot about her every time. She and Tallulah really Very similar to Chen Mo, are you reluctant to do this to Tallulah, so you deliberately provoke Shuangxing? Are you teaching her? Because you know they will have to face this in the future. "

The deer in front of me seems to be able to read people's hearts.

Chen Mo suddenly felt that he shouldn't have mentioned so much to her, because there were some things that neither she nor Tallulah, nor even Chen, should know.

"I have that kind of ability." Chen Mo shook his head: "Stop thinking nonsense."

"Then you come to me, you must have something you need me to do, right? I'm listening."

"You have a good reputation among ordinary infected people, so, Teacher Alina, I hope you can bring everyone together, at least those people you think you can trust, and say something good during this time. The atmosphere is too heavy and it cannot continue like this."

"Since Teacher Chen Mo said so, I can't refuse. I'll give it a try."

"Thanks a lot."

"No, you are the one who is really working hard, Chen Mo. Actually... you can choose to believe everyone. We just don't understand you yet. In the future, at least Tallulah and I, we all trust you."

Chen Mo smiled slightly.

"Wait until you stabilize, Teacher Alina, the days are still long."

No.17 Chapter Snow Ridge and Valley ([-]): Mr. Chen is heartbroken

The short fat man, sitting on the wall, fell into a big somersault

King, with all our troops and horses, there is no way to repair a broken mirror.

--------

Chen Mo occasionally recalled that he didn't know when he started, and even he gradually couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Is he a good person or a bad person? In other words, the term "good or bad" is too light to describe the past and experiences of a person like him.

Many times, people think they have a choice. In fact, in most cases, people only have one choice. Those seemingly easy choices have been denied the moment they appear.

The camp was rarely lively last night. After a long wait and a heavy atmosphere, the infected people who had been suppressed for a long time finally had a chance to breathe.

The soldiers came back from outside with enough food to survive the blizzard. The piled food was placed in the square in the center of the camp. They also promised to try to find some medicines to treat everyone's illness in a few days.

The gloomy eyes of the infected people lit up again, and the dullness of the past few days seemed to be swept away, and even the children and patients had smiles on their faces.

Only then did people realize that the snowstorm outside was actually not terrible.

The terrible thing is not the harsh natural environment, but the terrible thing is that people give up on themselves when they are in desperate situations.

"Your plan worked."

Shuangxing looked at the bonfire lit in the center of the camp, and at the infected people with smiles and relaxation on their faces. There was no joy on her cold face, except for the child who just bumped into her, who showed a gentle smile. Outside, when Chen Mo came over, his expression suddenly collapsed again.

She didn't want to see him, and Chen Mo noticed the unconcealed sense of distance in Shuangxing's eyes.

"I can even imagine that if we failed, the situation would become worse than before, and maybe the camp would fall apart in an instant." She said: "We lied to them."

"Lies without results are called deception."

Chen Mo handed her the lunch box he brought.

"Eat something. The snow monsters specially prepared it for you. They said you haven't eaten much in the past few days to avoid being exhausted when you move."

"How can I eat it?"

Shuangxing didn't reach out to pick it up, she looked into Chen Mo's eyes.

"How sure are you?"

"Eat." Chen Mo said without taking back his hand.

Shuangxing looked at the lunch box in his hand, looked at him coldly for a few seconds, and finally reached out to take it.

Watching her start eating, Chen Mo retracted his hand and reached into his bag. He took out the crumpled cigarette box. The cigarettes in it had long been exhausted, so he could only put it back into the bag.

"Alina and I, the teacher of infected people you met that day, asked her to organize the infected people in the camp, tell them some stories, tell them some history, or teach them some simple principles. "

"Tallulah said before that she wanted to organize an education group for infected people." Froststar said.

"It's almost the same." Chen Mo nodded: "But I still have to tell you in advance, because you are the current team leader. Do you know what, in my opinion, is the biggest problem in the camp now?"

Froststar raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction.

"Don't stop talking half-way."

"In my opinion, the biggest problem in the camp right now is that it is too idle. These idle infected people have to find ways to find something to do for them, otherwise they will easily have random thoughts. People's thoughts can actually be controlled, Shuang. Star, the difference lies in the mentality of the people who instilled their ideas to guide them with their own subjective opinions. "

Chen Mo said, looking in the direction of the infected person over there.

"Their ideas can be easily influenced because they are not firm enough, and they cannot be firm. Their cognition, life, and knowledge have restricted them from understanding this land of life and learning more. Therefore, after something happens too many times, they will become accustomed to it, and commonplace theories and knowledge will become their subjective understanding of a thing. "

"for example?"

"For example, they think that people with ore disease should be arrested and executed by pickets. For example, they think that the emperor is omnipotent. For example, they think that infected people will ruin their lives. They think that infected people and they are two different categories. people."

Chen Mo said: "This kind of thing is very common in this land, not because they are born stupid, nor because they are born like this, but because no one has taught them, because they are used to seeing similar things, so These things have become the truth in their hearts.”

"What you said is a bit like Tallulah's tone." Shuangxing glanced at Chen Mo in surprise: "She also said something similar to you, saying that she wanted to protest against Ursus' cruel rule. Ha, if the protest is useful If so, why should we take up arms to fight, those people will not let us go, not talking about the people of Ursus, just the army, who will they let go?"

"The predecessor of the army is also the people, Frost Star. Ursus used his ideas to cultivate the people into the army. As I said, they instilled their thoughts into the people of Ursus, subjectively distorting their will and controlling them. thinking, so this is the biggest problem, and the other problem is how you are going to fight against such Ursus."

"..."

Froststar didn't answer for a moment.

"I don't deny it. Maybe what you said does make sense. We can't defeat Ursus." She looked at Chen Mo: "I take back what I said before. Tallulah is different from you, but I can't deny it either. , what she said is also very reasonable, the guerrillas are growing, and we are the infected, if we continue, we will face Ursus sooner or later."

"Tallulah never thought about herself. She was dedicated to fighting for the infected. She wanted to unite the infected in the southern city. But for us, her union may be just a beautiful fantasy."

"But you didn't refuse."

"I didn't agree either." Froststar said: "Tallulah changed a lot of people's minds. At least I have to admit that she said sometimes even I can't help but think that. There are a lot of things we need in the south. , but the south is unknown to us, and the unknown means that we cannot distinguish between good and bad, and we must take risks. I just want to protect the people around me, my brothers and sisters, even if one day I have to face the entire Ursus."

"I'm the same as you." Chen Mo said, "But sometimes, a seemingly simple thing often becomes extremely difficult for various reasons."

"Because of Tallulah?"

"It's not just Tallulah." Chen Mo said. She watched Shuangxing close the lunch box: "Let's go, it's almost time to set off."

April 12

20:17 minutes

Weather: Blizzard/Visibility: Low

"Each team reports its tactical position."

The radio communication sounded in the communicator, and Yang lowered his body silently. In the distance was a stronghold where the infected picket company was stationed. The stronghold was brightly lit and surrounded by five-meter-high walls, trenches, towers, and searchlights patrolling it. The wind and snow outside the wall cast dazzling reflections on the white snow.

From the slope here, you can clearly see the picket soldiers patrolling outside the stronghold barracks. The entire stronghold has approximately 120 combat soldiers in Ursus's organization. With these people, even if the snow monsters are included, they are determined not to win this place. Stronghold.

This is a small-scale offensive.

"Team A has arrived at the designated location and has a clear view of the target area. [*~

Yang Ge pressed the radio to respond. Behind him, ten lurking infected warriors and another snow monster looked in his direction.

"Team B has arrived in front of the camp and is ready to take action at any time."

"Sister, let me do it. You are not good at this. Let me do it. Let me do it... Ahem, Team C is ready."

"30 seconds to prepare for action, each team will prepare for combat."

"receive."

Back in time a few hours ago.

Inside the conference tent at the camp.

The entire camp plus the Yeti team and 34 infected warriors were sitting below, and a hand-drawn map was hung on the wall of the tent.

The various terrains and routes centered on the infected pickets are marked on it.

Except for the snow monsters who had been taught by the guerrilla shield guards, most of the other infected warriors did not recognize the many symbols with different symbolic meanings.

This is a method commonly used by the military. Of course, even the Yeti Squad and the military education received by the shield guards are already an old system from more than ten years ago.

Chen Mo had to spend some time explaining to them.
