Longmen Memoirs

Froststar curled her lips.

"What on earth are you thinking? Before setting off, who swore that everyone was just going to get in touch with the local clusters and groups of infected people this time, but they should also pay attention to their own safety and try to avoid getting into trouble."

Tallulah was a little embarrassed. Faced with Froststar's harsh tone, she didn't want to talk about this topic.

"Don't talk about me anymore, let's talk about you. Did you successfully contact the local infected person?"

"Of course, I brought the snow monsters back to the camp a week ago, but you guys, I know the situation on your side. Where is Chen? I saw Red in your team, and he joined you."

Tallulah nodded.

"The infected person in Kentara could not be counted on, so he returned to me."

"I didn't see him here with you."

"He..." Tallulah paused. "He led the team to divert Ursus's pursuit team. I don't know the situation on their side now. You came just in time, Shuangxing. Seeing you makes me feel relieved. I want you to take the injured The soldiers and infected people returned to the camp. They are sick and cannot continue to delay. We don’t have enough medicine here.”

"What about you, Tallulah, I'll take the team back, where are you going?" Shuangxing asked calmly, before Tallulah could answer: "I know what you want to do, but look at your current situation. Look, how much energy do you have to find someone?"

"I'm fine."

"I'm not asking if you have any questions. I know you can survive. You are Tallulah, but where are you going to find Chen and the others? The Ursus are still searching for your whereabouts. Don't tell me you don't know this. It's very dangerous to go out at that time, and if Chen and the others come back, what's the point of you going out?" Shuangxing asked.

"I can't remember when the Tallulah I knew couldn't understand this simple truth."

Tallulah fell silent.

She did not answer.

She just looked at the infected people over there without saying a word. No one knew what she was thinking at this time, but Shuangxing's words undoubtedly made her give up her original thoughts.

Chapter 87 Hope is visible

Two Sakaz people came to the camp. They had a pair of pitch-black horns and communicated with the infected warriors in the camp in a slightly awkward Ursus language.

The older man's name was Forman Gastrovi. The soldiers affectionately called him Lao Guy. He had no objections to this. You could often see him taking off his military cap to reveal the few hairs on his head. With curly blond hair, he was the retired chief engineer of the Sixth Central Corps in Kazdare, and he also served as part of the officer training mission at the present-day Kazdare Military Academy.

When he came, he brought with him a bag of filigree tobacco, a specialty of Casimir's western wilderness, so he could occasionally be seen sitting under the awning of the training ground, banging the ash accumulated in the old-fashioned pipe on the wooden stake.

The other Sakaz is much younger than Lao Gai, about the same as the young warriors in the camp [-

His position is not an engineer, but an armorer, similar to the logistics quartermaster of Ursus. This time Kazdel brought much more supplies than the last time, including two hydraulic units that had not yet been assembled. Motors and supporting engineering cables, new mapping equipment, multi-purpose small engineering equipment for maintenance and repair, and wired CNC lathes.

There were many new gadgets that the infected in the camp had never seen before, as well as newly acquired weapons. Several of the jetpacks immediately attracted strong interest from the infected after being demonstrated by Valanto himself in the square.

They have always had some inexplicable desire for knowledge.

Snipers look down on these new toys.

The sniper, who had already become acquainted with the crossbowmen and gained their recognition, began to brag about what he had seen in the black steel, talking about Columbia's manned aircraft, some kind of small underwater single-person vehicle, and the ability to From a low-Earth vehicle that crosses a distance of 200 kilometers in half an hour to a giant crane that is more than 50 meters high.

If you don't take into account some of the exaggerated elements, what the sniper said does exist in Colombia, almost half a world away from here.

He is an out-and-out Colombian, out-and-out braggadocio, out-and-out vain. When it comes to Colombia, snipers look down on the backcountry Usas and Kazdaele.

Fortunately, the tasks of Valanto and Lao Gai do not conflict with the snipers who are currently training qualified crossbowmen for the camp, although occasionally when Valanto inspects the soldiers' weapons and teaches them how to maintain them, the snipers will I just want to say something rude, but there is another thing worth mentioning here, that is, among all the teams in the camp, only the crossbowmen were not taught that day, because their crossbows had been destroyed after the snipers arrived. It has been completely refurbished, not to mention that the expansion boards are almost filled with grease and dust and are difficult to open.

The shield guards were the most unlucky ones that day. When it came to fighting, none of them were cowards, but when it came to maintaining their weapons, the shield guards who specialized in combat were perhaps the worst in the entire camp.

In fact, we can't blame them. They were once the only main force of the guerrillas. They could be seen in almost every difficult battle. During the precious rest time, they didn't have time to dismantle the heavy armor on their bodies and clean up the heavy armor. Dried flesh and blood stuck in the cracks of nails.

In the view of the shield guards, this young Sarkarz was deliberately making things difficult for them. Although other infected warriors offered to help the shield guards clean their armor, the stubborn Sarkarz covered their noses and hid far away and remained tough. The shield guards were asked to do it themselves.

Even when the shield guards sat in rows on small benches in the square and began to wipe the oil and blood foam on their armors little by little, the damn Sakaz people still shook their heads and picked on them, with an expression of disgust on their faces. The more you deserve a beating, the more you deserve a beating.

"This is an insult, Tallulah. We have never been insulted like this. This Sarkazi is just looking for trouble."

Aggrieved, perhaps it cannot be said that, the angry and aggrieved shield guards grabbed Sakaz's collar, and a large circle of tall Ursus men surrounded the young Sakaz, trying to tear him alive. appearance.

At this time, no one cared about how notorious Sakaz was. They just wanted to open the eyes of this mean Sakaz.

Lao Gai sat calmly on the edge of the square, hiding in the sun, lighting the tobacco in the old pipe in his hand, and not paying attention to Sakaz, who came with him over there, who was in a panic and smokin' smoke mixed with black smoke. He tried his best to explain to the shield guards in Sassanian and Sakaz dialects, so that no one could understand what he was saying.

"Let him go, shield guard, don't be so angry."

"No, he must give us an explanation."

Surrounded by the shield guards, Sakaz looked at Tallulah for help. Tallulah had a headache. She had indeed heard about the commotion this young Sakaz had made in the camp in recent days.

"How about I give you an explanation?" Tallulah looked at the shield guard and asked: "Let go, I don't want to bother Mr. Patriot with such a trivial matter. He has been coughing badly recently. I will give you an explanation for bullying a defenseless person. Being an outsider is not your place.”

"Captain...Okay, Tallulah."

The shield guards looked at each other for a few times, and finally let go of Sakaz's collar angrily. Sakaz hurriedly got out from among the shield guards and hid behind Tallulah.

"You are not frightened, Mr. Valanto."

Tallulah has never seen such a timid Sarkaz. No, it should be that in her impression, Sarkaz should not look like this. There is no doubt that Valanto's knowledge of weapons exceeds everyone in the entire camp. , but he didn't dare to actually do it, at least I never heard him talk about anything related to the battle.

Perhaps because of this, this Sakaz didn't get along well with the shield guards. Of course, his fault-finding was indeed too harsh on the shield guards.

"These warriors are too rude, Miss Leader. I am just teaching them seriously and responsibly how to maintain the weapons they rely on as a warrior, but they are furious because of this. Alas, if only they could be as rational as Miss Alina." Enough."

Valanto complained to Tallulah incomprehensively. Looking at his innocent look, Tallulah had an even greater headache.

"The Shield Guards mean no harm, believe me, Mr. Valanto, they are just...well, just."

Tallulah glanced at the shield guard glaring at Sarkaz behind her, and considered her words.

"They just don't understand the significance of what they do. You know, before we stayed here, we were constantly being pursued by Ursus pickets and troops. The Shield Guards didn't have time to spend on these things. Many of them In fact, they all need your guidance to let them learn how to save their lives and how to maximize the value of their equipment."

"They don't look like you say they do."

"That's because no one has been exposed to this knowledge." Tallulah smiled gently: "Before you came, we had been lacking talents in this area. You can be more patient, maybe you can lower your temper a little. Threshold, slowly raise the requirements for these warriors, what do you think?"

Valanto hesitated for a moment. He looked at the shield guard and then at Tallulah.

"Okay, I'll try my best, but you have to guarantee that these tall warriors won't pretend to beat me up at every turn."

"I believe they won't. Just wait a moment and I'll talk to them."

"it is good."

Tallulah walked toward the shield guard again.

"What did he say?" The shield guards collectively looked at Tallulah who was approaching. They were no longer wearing the armor. A large group of Ursus men who had taken off their armor were standing in the square. There were people taking off their armor on the ground. The armor, the leather pipe that was still running, the small stools, and some of them were holding wrung pieces of cloth in their hands.

Tallulah looked back and sighed silently in her heart. She originally came to Forman to ask when the hydropower plant was going to start construction, but she didn't expect that she would encounter a conflict between the shield guards and Sakaz.

"He didn't mean to insult you. Maybe, I meant that the method he adopted may be a little harsh for you. I know it is really not appropriate for you to waste your efforts cleaning the armor in front of everyone in the square. But he really didn’t target you on purpose, and I believe you know it very well, otherwise you wouldn’t listen to him and stand here.”

"But he is too picky. We have already done what he asked for, but he is still standing there shaking his head and waving his hands, picking and choosing. He is not satisfied here, and it is not suitable anywhere. Who can take care of him?"

Tallulah sighed.

"You don't have to complain to me about this."

She looked at the shield guards and said: "I hope you can understand that it is not easy for him to come to us as a Sarkaz just a short distance away. You can also see that he is different from the Sarkaz we are familiar with. Same, he's not good at fighting at all."

"Then what do you say?"

"What I mean is that everyone should be accommodating to him. It's just a matter of cleaning up the armor. In the end, it's us who will actually benefit. Don't act like you're just going to beat people up. I know you won't do that at all."

Tallulah said, looking back at Valanto who was looking over here.

"Why are you talking to an outsider, Tallulah." The shield guard couldn't help but muttered.

"What is an outsider? If a person comes to help us with good intentions, but we still blame him for making demands that are beneficial to us, if I really do that, who else will be willing to be ours in the future? One of them." Tallulah asked, looking at the shield guard in front of him: "He is not an outsider, shield guard. Everyone who is willing to help us, we should not treat them as outsiders."

"Oh, Tallulah, you even put in a good word for him like this."

The shield guards looked at Tallulah, and then looked past her at the Sarkaz man. They found that they still didn't like the timid Sarkaz man.

They tentatively agreed with Tallulah's statement.

Tallulah stood in front of Forman.

"Good morning, Mr. Forman."

Forman took off his pipe and shook out the ashes. He stood up and took Talulah's outstretched hand.

"Good morning, Miss Leader, but you should call me Lao Gai like the other soldiers do. I know they all call me that."

Tallulah smiled, but she didn't take up the topic.

"You have been sitting here just now. I'm sorry that I made you laugh."

"If you want to tell me that your warriors mean no harm, I believe they do. Valanto is a picky young man, but they still don't actually try to hurt him."

"Soldiers wouldn't do that," Tallulah said, shaking her head.

"Because they are the Wendigo's subordinates?" Foreman asked, and added: "I didn't expect that I would see a living Wendigo again. I heard that they came to Ursus, but I didn't expect that there would be one here. One, I still remember the story I heard when I was a child, the story said that the Wendigo is a group of martial warriors who pursue honor in ancient traditions and will never bully the weak."

"Have you met Mr. Patriot."

"Yeah, it's a pity that maybe Kazdare will never be able to have a new tribe of Wendigos." Foreman sighed with emotion. Tallulah didn't answer, and he skipped the topic again.

"You came to me to ask about the progress of the power plant in Hekou, right?"

"To be honest, I want to ask you if you can build that power plant before winter comes this year, so that the camp will be much better this winter."

"I am also preparing to talk to you about this matter, Miss Leader. Although Valanto has many minor problems, he is still a practical young man at this point. Have you gone to the warehouse to see it? Transported from Kazdale The mechanical and electrical equipment and drawings that came over can be assembled in a few days. I need you to mobilize the infected people in the camp to build an earthen dam in the upper reaches of the valley to temporarily block the river water. We lack engineering equipment, so this is the best way."

"I will organize the manpower immediately. If you need anything else, you can also ask it."

"I will notify you in time if there is any."

"Then please don't be polite."

Tallulah breathed a sigh of relief.

At about this time, the snow monster Petrova hurried over【>#

"Tallulah... Tallulah, I can't find you anywhere, hurry up..."

"what's up?"

"Quick." Petrova took Tallulah's hand and walked forward. Tallulah had no time to break free. She gasped and pulled Tallulah towards the camp.

"Chen...Chen and the others are back. The eldest sister asked me to come find you immediately..."

"Are they there?!"

"Don't worry, Kahn...Kahn came back carrying Chen on his back. The patrolling soldiers discovered them. Chen...he..."

"he is injured."

"I don't know. They are in the infirmary. Come with me quickly."

Petrova said that Talulah broke free from her hand, and in just a blink of an eye, Drac ran in front of the snow monster. She ran so fast that she didn't seem to hear the infected person saying hello to him along the way.

Soldiers gathered outside the infirmary.

Tallulah saw many familiar faces in the crowd at the door, including Red, Aurora, Snow Monster, and Frost Star.

She walked into the corridor of the infirmary

In the corridor, Kahn and the soldiers in the team who left that day sat with gloomy faces and scarred faces while their wounds were being bandaged by medics.

There were still five or six of them left, silent and silent, their heads lowered and the expressions on their faces unclear.

The aisle seemed crowded, and Kahn was holding Chen Mo's two weapons tightly in his hands.

It was probably the medics who called out Tallulah's name, and several soldiers raised their heads. Their faces covered with blood and dust, and their bloodshot eyes looked at Tallulah who stopped.

It took several seconds before Tallulah heard Kahn speak.

"……leader."

There was a trembling cry in the warrior's voice, and the words Tallulah wanted to say were stuck in her throat, unable to describe what it felt like.

"Thanks for the hard work, just come back."

She opened her mouth, but in the end she found that she could only say this to them.

Chapter 88 Residue

The little black-haired boy was holding a pen in front of the desk.

It was the spring equinox, and the old peach tree in the courtyard outside the window was in full bloom. The peach blossoms were swaying in the breeze, fluttering, and swirling into the small pond.

There are several lotus plants planted in the pond. Because they have not yet reached the flowering period, only the broad green lotus leaves are floating on the water.
