Longmen Memoirs

A voice sounded from behind. After receiving the scout's report that someone had entered the village, he immediately came to the scout's location. Then he looked at the group of people entering the village. The visitor held down the crossbow in the scout's hand. .

"All put down your weapons and inform others that they are not the enemy."

The scout slowly lowered his crossbow.

Under the leadership of the person in charge, come out of the hidden reconnaissance point.

Their appearance immediately alerted the infected people who were searching for suspicious persons.

"Captain?" The soldiers looked at Chen Mo.

"Don't be nervous, we are not enemies." Chen Mo said, and then the soldiers put away their weapons.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Chen."

The other party seemed very polite, with a friendly smile on his face. The soldiers following him looked at the infected people in front of them, but their fingers were resting on the trigger.

Chen Mo had met the young man in front of him at Sheva Tower and Schradz. This was their third meeting. It seemed that he was very valued by Kannot as the person responsible for contacting the infected.

"Good afternoon, friend, please take me to say hello to your boss."

Wasteland garbage recycler, dark rat, or the so-called opportunity created by uniting surrounding forces as Cannot said. This mysterious businessman may have many identities and his origins are mysterious, but Chen Mo will not delve into these or care about them. For his purpose, Chen Mo only needed to know that Cannott was still their friend for the time being, and that was enough.

Perhaps Chen Mo wouldn't be surprised at all when Kannot said that he was also the leader of an infected organization. Just like now, if he gets a ground vehicle from the Ursus military, Chen Mo will only think that he is Still somewhat underestimated this eccentric businessman.

"I will convey it to you. In fact, the boss hopes to come and handle this matter in person. He has been thinking about you very much. However, due to some business problems some time ago, the boss had to go and handle it in person."

"Understandable."

Chen Mo watched the young man walk up to him and hold his outstretched hand.

"I hope you can bring me good news this time." Chen Mo looked at him and said.

"If you are referring to the hydroponic farm equipment and technology used in mobile cities, I think your trip will be worthwhile this time, and we have also prepared a little surprise for you."

"Oh?"

Chen Mo let go, he was a little interested.

"Appreciate further details."

"I wonder if Mr. Chen has heard about what happened to the Kosher Division of the Ursus Fourth Army Group some time ago?"

He asked, his eyes falling on Chen Mo, and then looking at the soldier next to him.

His voice was not low, and the soldiers could hear it clearly, so they subconsciously looked at the young liaison officer.

"What do you mean?" Chen Mo asked puzzledly.

"A month ago, the Kosher Division went out to perform a certain mission. When they came back, they suffered heavy losses. Not only did the original division commander die in the line of duty, but the chief of staff was also seriously injured. There were rumors in the outside world that the Kosher Division attacked a certain noble. station, but so far there has been no concrete news in Ursus about which noble station was attacked."

"so?"

"The boss was surprised when he heard the news. The Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of effort to get some information from the Fourth Army. According to an officer from the former Kosher Army, they encountered a group of infected people."

"I didn't know that those infected people could have such ability." Chen Mo asked in surprise.

The other party looked at the surprise on Chen Mo's face with a smile.

"Mr. Chen..."

Chen Mo seemed to realize it later.

"You suspect we did it?"

"No, no, it's my speculation." He suppressed his smile and shook his head, his eyes falling on Chen Mo: "The boss acted very calmly after hearing the news, as if he was not surprised at all that a group of infected people could defeat the Ursus regular army. The elite have been hit to such a degree, so I boldly speculate that it may be related to you."

"In other words, your so-called little surprise is also related to this matter?" Chen Mo asked.

"Did you admit it?"

"Will this affect our cooperation?"

"Of course not." His smile became even brighter: "Actually, your guess is right. It is indeed related to this matter. The Holy Castle later sent an observation team over. The Chamber of Commerce was in the Holy Castle some time ago. Colleagues claimed that a large number of armaments were being transported from Fort Saint-Jun to the Fourth Army’s garrison, including some new weapons that the Ursus military had only recently begun to equip.”

"Is the news accurate?"

"It's been confirmed."

Chen Mo calmed down and looked at the young man in front of him. He knew that the hydroponic farm matter had come to an end, and now there was another deal before them.

After a few seconds, Chen Mo said: "Do you want to sell Ursus' armaments to us?"

"Isn't Mr. Chen interested?"

"On the contrary, I'm very interested. The problem is that we don't have enough strength to snatch these equipment from Ursus."

"What if it's just part of it?"

He asked tentatively, as if he knew what Chen Mo meant: "We are also very interested in a certain weapon in Ursus's armaments. Of course, although the Chamber of Commerce has channels, after all, most of our personnel are not good at fighting. There is a group of armaments passing by. The rest sites are staffed by us, and if it’s just a portion, the chamber has a way to secretly move them elsewhere.”

"You want to cooperate?"

"I wonder what Mr. Chen thinks?" He did not deny it, but asked Chen Mo what he thought. It seemed that he acquiesced in the option of cooperation.

"If you think it's feasible, after our cooperation ends, we will be responsible for transporting this batch of armaments and hydroponic farm equipment to the location you designate. The price of this batch of equipment can be renegotiated by both parties."

"Is this your intention or your boss's?" Chen Mo asked.

"Of course it's what the boss means, but the boss also said that even if you refuse, the previous deal will still be valid, and we will still transport the equipment and technology to the location you specified in accordance with the content of the agreement."

Chen Mo didn't answer, and the other party didn't urge him.

After more than ten seconds, Chen Mo spoke.

"I need time to think about it and I need to discuss it with the camp."

"Of course, we will wait here for you and your team for a week. You know, Usas's truck is already on the way, leaving us with not much time. If you don't come after a week, just treat it as if it's you and your team. The team rejected this cooperation, what do you think?”

"no problem."

April 11

It is said to be a week, but in fact, excluding the round trip, the team only has three days to consider, but this time is enough.

They do need a batch of equipment, mainly shield guards. The shield guard's armor Kazdel is not easy to transport, and the shield guards are more accustomed to Ursus' military standard, plus the weapons lost after the last battle with Ursus. and ammunition, they really need supplies, not just assistance from Kazdaele.

After all, aid is limited.

But Chen Mo also had to think about it. After all, they had just gone through a battle, and although the initiative this time was in the hands of the infected, no one could tell what the actual situation would be.

"Do we really want to cooperate with them? Captain."

After the rendezvous, Kahn asked. The two parties agreed on the delivery location, which was still this abandoned village, but the time would be temporarily delayed because they themselves had to deal with this matter. In fact, Chen Mo thought that they should not have found this group of infected people but the other party. The first person to talk about cooperation, the only difference is that as an infected team that has fought against the Ursus Army Division, they should be the first partner to cooperate.

"What do you think?"

"I still feel that they are not trustworthy enough." Kahn hesitated before answering.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe or not. If cooperation is based on trust, it will be difficult for two strangers to reach a consensus. We and they need each other. As for trust, we can discuss this issue later. Besides, this is not We are working together for the first time. We have to be prepared, but we cannot always be wary of others."

"Anyway, I just listen to you. I will do whatever you tell me to do. Captain, you can't let us suffer, right?"

"Stinky boy."

Kahn grinned, and Chen Mo felt helpless.

"Go back and tell the leaders about this. If we want to cooperate with them, we must make preparations in advance."

"clear."

Chen Mo took off his gloves and looked at Mephisto, who was standing quietly aside, and waved.

----

"So they want us to send people to help them seize the equipment shipped to the Fourth Group Army?"

In the conference room, Tallulah looked at Chen Mo and asked.

She pondered, as if thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"It's a part. To be precise, I hope they can intercept the part belonging to the shield guards. There are too many armaments shipped to the fourth group, and we can't afford to eat them all." Chen Mo said.

"That's enough. The shield guards' equipment needs to be replaced. That old-fashioned armor is very inconvenient to use and has exceeded its useful life."

"I didn't agree to them immediately." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "What I mean is that if we really agree to cooperate with them to intercept the equipment transported by Ursus, we cannot have too many people. The shield guards do not need to participate in this operation. They will not Being good at surprise attacks, the camp also needs to leave enough force to ensure safety.”

"What do you think?"

"Frost Star is not here, otherwise she and Snow Monster would be one of the most suitable candidates, so in order to make up for the vacancy left by her departure, you have to act with us this time. The soldiers have not recovered from their injuries. Among those who can fight The crossbowmen and Aurora can assist, and the guerrillas have also taken out some of their warriors who can fight, and you can lead them."

Tallulah nodded. He had no objection to this arrangement, and seemed to have thought of something.

"I'm afraid the shield guards won't agree when they find out about this." Tallulah thought for a moment and said, "Since it's their equipment, they definitely don't want to sit aside and watch others do their best for them."

"I'll tell you about the shield guards." Chen Mo said, "And I suspect they have another purpose in looking for us."

"How to say?"

"My contact person told me before about what happened to the Fourth Army Division. I guess they probably didn't want to be involved in this matter, so they came to us to cooperate and let the infected people cover for them and cover up the traces they left behind. Traces." Chen Mo replied: "But the price they gave this time is not low. We can really use those armaments. It is also good for us to retain some of them instead of leaving them to the Fourth Army. Moreover, they have also made great achievements in hydroponic farms. Conceded."

"In other words, even if we are charged with plundering Ursus' weapons for them, it will not be a loss for us." Tallulah said.

"I'm afraid they knew about the friction between us and the Fourth Army before they thought of entrusting us with this matter. Tallulah, in my opinion, we are probably not their only candidates." Chen Mo said: "Before this, they should Other organizations were also contacted.”

"Then we have to hurry."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry." Chen Mo looked at Tallulah who seemed to be in a hurry: "If I were them, I would definitely be more willing to cooperate with a more powerful team, so before we give a clear answer, they won't I was in such a hurry to contact other people that I even suspected that they had considered this possibility in advance in the time limit they gave."

"If there is enough time, I would rather wait until Froststar and Red come back to discuss this matter. Our chances of success and safety will be higher than now."

"They shouldn't be able to catch up in a short time."

"Yes, after all, Cannott did not disclose this matter in advance." Chen Mo said, "Although they promised to intercept some of them, we must also be prepared to encounter the Ursus army. The actions of the team must be I can’t hide it from others, the soldiers have never dealt with them, so they have to coordinate the various teams in advance.”

It was also time for the camp to find a group of couriers, otherwise the reconnaissance team alone would not be able to undertake long-distance communication and intelligence exchange.

Chapter 115 Meeting...Always Parting ([-]) Fake Lieutenant

Guam Canyon, Krasnodar Wilderness Frontier

April 12

Usas's supply convoy set out from west to north and arrived at the Fourth Army's station. It passed through many mobile cities to rest and supply strongholds. At this time, Mintzsk, located near the Guam Canyon, was one of them.

As a mobile city adjacent to the northern border, this city is mainly engaged in mining, logging and ore processing industries. It transports a large amount of industrial raw materials mined in the north to the south, and then imports grain, agricultural and sideline products and light industrial products to the south. The supply demand of cities and towns in the north with the ore industry as its pillar industry benefited from the trade between the north and the south and the unique fiefdom position of the local lords. Coupled with the industrialization and military strengthening policies of the former emperor's period, the Ming Dynasty located at the junction of the north and the south. Cisk was also prosperous for a time, but later, because the original local noble Viscount Rada was suspected of colluding with the rebellious military nobles during the Great Rebellion, after Viscount Rada was deprived of his title according to law and sentenced to death, his territory Mintsk was dispatched by the Holy Castle. officials served as local governors.

In addition, due to the death of the previous emperor, the case of Viscount Rada, and the weakened policies of the previous emperor in the late period of the Great Rebellion, the new Royal Palace strengthened its control over the North. Mintzsk also declined for a time, and the north-south trade was no longer the same. period of prosperity.

You can still vaguely trace the city's prosperity from its architectural style.

The death of Viscount Lada was too strange. How could Viscount He De from a small place collude with the rebellion, but he chose to do so in such an important geographical location.

Chen Mo didn't delve too deeply into these things. Tallulah talked freely. She always knew a lot about the things between nobles and lords. Chen Mo suspected that she just took note of these things at that time.

As the nominal legal heir of a duke, she has access to far more secrets from the upper echelons of the Ursus Empire than ordinary people.

Whether Viscount Radha was coerced by the great rebellion, or the new emperor was worried about handing over such an important place to his hands, the result has become a foregone conclusion, and the people who govern the city now are officials sent by the Holy Castle. , which is also the main reason why Usas’s military convoy transporting supplies chose to stop here.

The infected team met Kannot again in the city of Mintzsk. He was accompanied by several soldiers who looked like Ursus workers. The meeting place was an old traditional brick building in the south of the city of Mintzsk, near the docking port. The seven-story brown-red building with a wooden structure allows a group of people to gather together without appearing to be a small space. Most of the buildings in Ursus are mainly characterized by wide doors and windows, which are conducive to lighting, and the walls are thicker. Considering the severe cold climate in the north, they are generous and generous. The walls can keep warm in winter and insulate in summer.

"Welcome, Miss Leader, it seems you have agreed to accept this cooperation."

The arrival of the infected team surprised Cannott. What remained the same was that he still couldn't see his true appearance under his strange helmet. Chen Mo doubted whether his appearance would attract the attention of the city's military police.

"If you are referring to Ursus' arms convoys, we are indeed interested."

Tallulah smiled, took Cannot's outstretched hand, and held her hands apart.

"I hope Thom didn't show any disrespect in bringing you here."

"Your people are very polite, sir."

"Oh, that's good."

The young man named Thom was the person in charge of contacting the infected. The latter just walked behind Cannot and stood among the group of warriors.

Cannott looked at Chen Mo, who was standing behind Tallulah, and the canned man nodded slightly.

"Long time no see, Mr. Chen."

"You're well, Mr. Cannot." Chen Mo replied, and they did not shake hands again, because as the leader, Tallulah had already shown their intentions to the leader of the Chamber of Commerce.
