Longmen Memoirs

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

After night falls, the dark walls become quiet.

Not long after Froststar and Red returned from Kazdare, the supplies in the camp were replenished. The ammunition and weapons lost in the battle with the Ursus army a few months ago were also temporarily replenished. Indoor farms are still being worked on, and it is expected that it will be difficult to achieve results in a short period of time. After all, without the guidance of engineers and technicians in related fields, a group of illiterate infected people can completely assemble the equipment and machinery. Keeping them running properly is a blessing.

The wounded who were injured in combat some time ago have gradually recovered their combat capabilities, and the soldiers who were additionally seriously injured have also regained their mobility.

The plan to go south can no longer be postponed. This winter in Ursus is the best time of the year. If you miss this node, in spring and summer, the patrol defense line in southern Ursus will not be so easy to sneak in and break through.

The specific route to the south has been planned early, and it seems that now is indeed the most suitable time.

W is indeed very calm, which she behaved appropriately in the next few days. In fact, judging from the current relationship between Kazdel and Ursus, the infected camp, there is no need to maintain it. She was cautious, but at least she didn't make that kind of bitter and mean sarcasm again. Maybe this was because she wasn't in the mood.

"I will not apologize for what happened a few days ago."

When I found her, she was at the door of the Black Wall. She stood there looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky outside the wall. This snow blocked the way back for the Sakaz team and forced them to stay in the camp temporarily. .

"No, how dare I ask you, sir, to apologize to me? I have to thank you, sir, for sparing me a small life."

She tilted her head slightly and glanced at Chen Mo, who was approaching from behind. She leaned against the edge of the black wall and looked at the woods in the snow in the distance.

There wasn't much complaint in the words, but a strong sense of sarcasm could be heard.

Of course, we can understand that a person who strangled her neck a few days ago and said he was going to kill her would then quietly come over and say he would not apologize when we met again a few days later.

W didn't turn around and spat at Chen Mo, already he looked extremely well-educated.

But Chen Mo seemed extremely unconscious. He sat down next to the wood piled up not far from W, looking at the white-haired Sakaz mercenary staring at the snow. She was wearing a gray-black dress. There is no specific sign of identity in the coat, and he no longer carries the grenade gun that is always with him, but the military short knife in the belt sheath can still be seen on the waist under the coat.

"Are you angry?"

"Don't dare."

"It doesn't matter if you're angry. As long as you stay calm, there's no problem in anything you do." Chen Mo said this, and then W turned around and looked at him.

She didn't speak either. She occasionally calmed down. Without the war or paranoia, she was actually a very rational person. Although she was also prone to impulsivity and emotion, she had changed a lot in the past few years.

At least the frizzy character has calmed down, even if it just seems like it.

"This snow will not stop for the time being. Ursus's patrols and pickets rarely go out when it snows. If they are still outside now, this snow alone will cause considerable damage to the camp. "Chen Mo said, as if talking to himself: "It was snowing when I first came here last year, and we didn't have so many people at that time."

W's lips twitched, but she didn't make any comment on Chen Mo's words. The snow fell quietly, and from time to time it drifted into the ground in front of the black wall in the gust of wind blowing in the wilderness.

The wind carrying the snow was very cold, and it was even more surprisingly cold when it hit my face, but it was not as good as the night in Kazdaele, where the cold arrows would come from nowhere in the night, and the chill that sent chills down my spine when I was concentrating.

"It's not that easy for a group of infected people to find a place like this in the wilderness."

She said that maybe even she didn't notice that sometimes she looked a lot like Ines.

"It's not easy."

"Forget it if you don't want to say it." She tilted her head and looked away.

"It's not that complicated." Chen Mo pressed his palms on the wood under him, feeling the rough texture coming back from it. He said, "I've been here once before, but then I gradually forgot about it as time went by. Until some time ago Just remembered."

"..."

W turned to look at him who said this again. It wasn't until Chen Mo's eyes met hers that he saw the obvious doubt in her eyes.

"You do not believe?"

"I'd rather believe it."

"I rarely tell lies."

"Ha." She just sneered, her laughter full of unabashed sarcasm.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet. What is your current position in Kazdaele?"

Chen Mo asked, his face suddenly darkened as if the sky had changed.

She didn't speak.

He knew, from the information given by Mudstone and the Night Watch, but he didn't know much. The new military committee established by Kazdaele reorganized the original scattered army into the National Defense Force, and now in the royal palace In the city, the newly formed parliament and its members are constantly working hard for the revitalization and reconstruction of Kazdaele.

Theresia served as the Speaker of the Military Committee, but she resigned from the position of Speaker in the Parliament. The powers of the original Military Committee were divided into two, and the Parliament was divided into two chambers, the Upper House and the Noble House. As well as the civilian parliament in the lower house, I heard that Su Enyang has become the leader of the New Youth Labor Party and is now running rampant in the parliament and fighting with the members of the upper house.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand in Kazdare that the problems that plague most countries have become the norm among the Sarkazi, and most of the Sarkazi are infected.

They didn't care about this at all, they didn't care in the past and they don't care now.

W kept silent. It was not difficult for Chen Mo to imagine how crazy it was for W not being able to stay by Theresia's side. It was fine in the past and she could still see her occasionally, but now... I'm afraid it's very difficult. .

W's reputation is not very good, her achievements in the civil war cannot support her rise to the top, and her position among the Night Watch is too embarrassing.

She didn't want to mention it, especially Askaron. There were not many people who could make her feel frustrated but dare not speak out.

"So what about you?" She breathed softly, and the hot air condensed into white mist in the cold wind: "You got mixed up with a group of infected people. What is the relationship between the leader of the infected people... Tallulah and you?"

"As you can see."

"Haha, what a liar." She laughed coldly, staring at Chen Mo with her scarlet eyes: "The relationship between you and her is very unusual. Let me guess, she is your old lover."

"That's not a very nice word."

"You don't deny it?"

"It would be more accurate to say friends."

"Ha, friend?" She seemed to have heard something funny. "This is really funny. I really can't think of what kind of friend can make... the notorious... you, come here and be with a group of friends. The miserable infected people are mixed together."

W narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"The last friend you mentioned was the blond Felin, what did you call her...Vina, I didn't see her again after that. She left Kazdale with you, right?"

Her words gradually became lower and full of regret: "I heard that you almost died in Londinium. Tsk, tsk, what a pity, you are still alive and well now."

"I've always had good luck."

"Where's that film? Is she dead too?" W asked as if she accidentally asked, looking away, a few meters away, she leaned against the black wall without looking at the man next to her.

"That's not the case, she..." Chen Mo paused and looked at the slowly falling snow: "She is probably sitting by the window sill and taking a nap. After all, she is a film."

W was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to hear such an answer from Chen Mo.

After a brief daze, she came to her senses.

"I know something interesting, would you like to hear it?" she said. "I got the news from Scout."

"Speak and see."

"His Royal Highness went to Letania some time ago. I heard that he was going to meet a certain guest from Londinium. What kind of guest do you want to make His Highness and the Victorians choose a land that does not belong to them to meet at the same time?"

Chen Mo calmed down.

After a few seconds, w heard his answer.

"Maybe only the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor of Victoria."

"After the war ended two years ago, Londinium invited the Kazdaele Military Council to mediate the disputes between the dukes, not long after you left."

w pulled the collar of his coat and put his hands in his pockets.

"I've heard about it."

"Later the army stopped at the border and did not enter Victoria territory." W said, she glanced in Chen Mo's direction: "You have done a lot of things?"

"I don't remember what I did."

"You can think so, what are you going to do in Ursus this time? Didn't you keep saying that he was your friend? That Vina, I remember you said the same thing."

Chen Mo didn't answer.

W's sarcastic voice sounded in her ears again, and she raised a bright smile, just two words.

"……hypocritical."

as always

1093/12/23

Gantry/Night

At night in Longmen, the temperature is extremely cold. Christmas trees and lanterns prepared for tomorrow's Christmas have been decorated early on the streets, and the gorgeous and twinkling lights are lit in the cold late night.

The black jeep stopped at the bottom of a high-end apartment building in Taipu District. It didn't take much effort to get in. After all, the leader of the Longmen Operation Team had all kinds of underhanded methods. The security of a mere high-end residential building was still there. It's hard for her, but the main reason is because she is the owner of this complex.

When he walked into the elevator, he took off his coat and put it on his hands. He raised his head and stared at the floor upwards until he stopped midway and then went up again.

Under the shirt, he was as open-minded as ever, but compared to the casual dress in the past, he paid more attention today. He walked through the corridor and finally stopped in front of a certain apartment.

It has been almost three years since I last came here, much faster than I expected, but nothing seems to have changed much around me. The mobile city called Longmen always seems very reasonable in some aspects.

After ringing the doorbell, his expression didn't change much. He was neither nervous nor anxious. He was as calm and natural as if he were going home. But maybe even if there was a change, it would be difficult to see Fenhao on his face.

After all, I am used to living with this appearance.

I don’t have many friends in Longmen, and almost none of them are good enough to visit me. For more than ten years, I have been casual and have almost no hobbies and interests that are too commendable.

I thought I would be turned away, even if that was the case, it didn't matter, but after just waiting for more than ten seconds, the door was still opened from the inside.

The woman standing at the door was dressed at home, with a goose-yellow long-sleeved sweater, long blue hair hanging loose, and her scarlet eyes looking at herself standing at the door.

His eyes were complicated, as if he never expected to see himself here, nor did he expect that he would suddenly visit. Although he saw his appearance from the video phone, he still couldn't be so calm. Since This way there is still no turning away.

In fact, our interactions with each other were pitiful. We were just acquaintances, but far from visiting.

During the brief moment of looking at each other, neither of them spoke.

"I heard you were taking a break?"

"What's the problem?"

His eyes fell on the hands hanging down, holding a stack of packed cake boxes.

"come and see."

"It seems that our friendship has not reached this level."

"I am like you, but she is different from me." He raised the cake in his hand and said, "I was too busy and missed her birthday some time ago. I just happened to know that you picked her up."

"..."

"Won't you invite me in? Miss Chen, I am a guest after all."

"Can you count yourself as a guest if you come uninvited?"

As he said this, he moved his body away, and the sound of the door closing sounded from behind.

Chapter 127 Before Christmas

For Fox, festival is a word that doesn't mean much. She doesn't even remember her birthday clearly, let alone the pale date hanging on the calendar.

Nothing different, nothing real.

In the past, I often saw festivals in Longmen. When I walked on the street, the cold wind hit my face, and I could see the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of the crowd flowing in front of my eyes. I didn't feel anything because of the atmosphere and hustle and bustle of those festivals. If I have to say, in the police When I was in college, I attended a few New Year's parties held in the college. I didn't really have much impression. I didn't hate it, and I couldn't say I was happy about it.

Occasionally, the action team will organize dinner parties, and I quite like that atmosphere.

Except for the group members, there are probably few people with whom I can talk. Although I have a good relationship with my classmates and is not considered lonely in people's eyes, they are just acquaintances and have intersections, and there is no deeper involvement. Later, they are more involved. It was because of some reasons that we completely lost contact. Actually, I never thought about a class reunion.

It seems that after coming out of the orphanage, I have become accustomed to living alone. Things were not good at that time. The teenage girl suffered a lot in the streets and alleys of the lower city. Occasionally, when I recall it, I feel... It's incredible that he was admitted to the Longmen Guards Academy in this way and became a police officer of the Guards Bureau.

So that I gradually forgot what I had thought about, because Longmen is a very big city, and it will never change for the wishful thinking of one of the people. People living in this city come and go, and the memories are still there. Things changed, and later on, even myself gradually became unfamiliar.

With a rather friendly smile on his lips, the unwelcome guest stood at the door of Chen Huijie's house, holding a snack box with cake in his hand. The ribbon and lace looked valuable.

To be honest, I don’t really have much affection for Chen Huijie. If I were in the past, I probably wouldn’t have interacted with people like her. After all, one was a son of an official family who returned from a foreign higher education institution, and the other was an ordinary police officer who was working his way up in the lower city. Members have great differences not only in their identities but also in their concepts.

The officials' children in Shangcheng District always like to have more fantasy and enthusiasm. This is not a bad thing. After all, they are born to be extraordinary, but people like Fox must clearly remember what should be touched and what should not be touched.

Although he is already the leader of the action team and can be considered a member of Longmen's upper class society, his identity is not glamorous after all.

Chen frowned slightly.

After a brief conversation, he finally refused to chase people away with a cold face.

She doesn't have any good feelings for Fox, and his behavior style is not the same as hers. But after all, he has some friendship and can be regarded as a colleague. Although until now, it is not clear whether this friendship is good or bad. At least he owed her last time. A favor.

If anything, Officer Su, who couldn't see clearly in front of him, had a close relationship with someone.
