Longmen Memoirs

Wolper was not a fox after all.

"How can Wolper be considered a fox? It doesn't count. They can't be compared at all. They just look alike. It's no big deal. It's no big deal."

She murmured softly, and the dragon gate outside the door finally fell into the night.

Chapter 35 It’s not that important

Alina closed the doors and windows tightly. The last thing she saw was that the Chicheng military police responsible for security patrols were slowly walking from the end of the street corner.

She closed the doors and windows and drew the curtains.

The sky outside the house in Chernobog was gloomy and gloomy, with thunder roaring from time to time, and a heavy rain was imminent.

The room was a little dark, and Alina did not turn on the light. Elafia held the stairs to the second floor and opened the door to the second floor. The people who were discussing stopped talking and looked at Alina collectively. , Alina turned around and closed the door, sat down next to Tallulah, and they resumed their previous discussion.

The topic is about the infected people who have been in contact with them so far in Chernobog and are willing to join the integration movement. Some of them plan to transfer them to other places before the arrival of the Third Army.

"How long will it take for Frost Star to come?"

"Eldest sister is already on the road. During this time, there are many Ursus reconnaissance cavalry along the way. Eldest sister and the others only dare to travel at night. If they calculate the time, they will be here the day after tomorrow."

The person who answered Tallulah was Petrova. As the pioneer of the Yeti team, she took the lead in arriving at Checheng and contacted Tallulah and the others.

"I remember Froststar was working with Red."

"Yes, but Red took people to Yanglock on the way. The person in charge there wanted to get in touch with us, so Red took his team and rushed over to see the situation on their side."

"Are those people trustworthy?"

"It's hard to say. Their situation is similar to ours before. They gathered in an abandoned village. Their liaison officer said that when they found Red, they had already had several conflicts with the infected pickets. It depends on the liaison officer. From their expressions, their losses should be considerable, and since they are asking for help at this juncture, the most likely scenario is that they have determined that they can no longer support themselves alone.”

"Yeah." Tallulah nodded slightly.

"The specific situation will not be determined until Red and others send a message back, leader." Petrova added.

"Yes, but we must also be prepared at the same time. Red should be able to judge the situation. If there are too many wounded and non-combatants there, he and his team will not be suitable to continue to move closer to Qicheng. Insurance For the sake of safety, we need to send a messenger to confirm the situation on Red’s side so that we can provide them with support.”

"We can't spare any manpower." Petrova shook her head and replied. "The recent teams, except for the guerrillas led by Big Daddy and the Sakaz people, all have their own opinions."

"Guerrillas and shield guards are not good at street fighting. Moreover, we do not take the initiative in this city now. My idea is to send some guerrilla fighters to be ready after confirming the situation on Red's side so that they can support them at any time. .”

"That won't work, leader. The infected people in Qicheng are preparing to evacuate from here. If the guerrilla forces are dispersed at this time, we will have no way to ensure safety along the way after leaving Qicheng. And didn't you plan it before? Is it because we asked the guerrillas and shield guards to meet us, so we asked Big Daddy to stay on standby outside the city?" Petrova retorted: "Big Daddy wouldn't agree."

"Mr. Patriot will agree, and what I said is possible. We may not be able to make comprehensive preparations, but the necessary emergency plans can always help me avoid many problems." Tallulah explained: "Red and the others The infected people around us are equally important, Petrova, this is a signal, if we ignore the infected people who ask us for help, who will believe that we are fighting to save the infected people in the future?"

"Neither do we..."

"Okay, let's do it like this. Later I will write a letter to Mr. Patriot and tell him my thoughts. I think Mr. Patriot can make reasonable arrangements." Tallulah made a decision. Then he looked at the red-haired Luper Ludmila who had been sitting aside and listening to their conversation.

"How is the gathering of infected people in the city?"

"That's almost it. The list of people who are willing to leave Qicheng with our people is here." She pulled out a thick list from her coat and handed it to Tallulah.

Tallulah took it and scanned it roughly, then frowned.

"What's wrong, Tallulah?"

"Why do you ask?"

"There are fewer people than I expected, Lyudmila."

"For safety reasons, you said so, so the people we contact are very cautious, and most of them are people we can trust after investigation."

"But these same people are very hostile to Qicheng and non-infected people, right?" Tallulah closed the list, Lyudmila's expression changed, and she did not refute.

After hesitating for a moment, she said: "As long as anyone can survive in Chernobog, they will not be willing to leave with us. They cannot trust us, Tallulah, no matter how sincere we are. , they just don’t believe that anyone is willing to help them and give them a better life.”

"So we need to work on it."

"We're already working on it."

"Not enough, Lyudmila." Tallulah shook her head: "I said, we are not Avengers, we are not united to take revenge on anyone, we train, we take up weapons, our purpose is not To kill those who once oppressed us and then die together with them, our purpose is to let the infected survive. We have one and only one purpose."

"But you can't deny that we infected people have hatred in our hearts, for this city, for the people here who turn a blind eye to our experiences, and for the city gendarmes who oppress and discriminate against us. Tallulah, you are right, But not everyone can let go as easily as you said." Lyudmila looked directly into Talulah's eyes.

"The parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters of some of them were tortured to death by this city and the people in the city. You know very well how the Ursans deal with us infected people. We swallow the deaths of the suffering people. Why should we be treated like this? Why can’t we take revenge on them!”

At the end of the sentence, Luper's fingers clenched tightly, and her bright red pupils showed deep hatred for this insensitive Chernobog and the suffering of their infected people.

"Do you think so? As long as everyone wears an armband, everyone can be an integrated movement. We give them an excuse and a reason to gather them together and rush to this city for revenge and let their blood flow. Dyeing the streets, venting the anger and resentment in your heart.”

Tallulah shook her head.

"But it's not worth it, Lyudmila, except for a life that is not cared about, it has never been worth it. Once we do this, it will be no different from those who are hostile and persecute the infected. We have to live Go down, take up arms and fight in order to survive. What happened in the past cannot be repeated no matter whether people want it or not. But the infected can still choose their own future, even if they only have a few years to live, but I don’t want to let them die in vain. ."

"They don't care."

"We care." Tallulah looked at the Kingslayer and replied: "The infected are not consumables, they are also human beings. No matter what Ursus and the land think of us who are infected with the Origin Stone, we are human beings. Do what a man should do!”

"Tallulah..."

Lyudmila opened her mouth, and Tallulah knew that she could not convince her in a short time. Some hatred had been engraved in her bones, and it would not disappear with a few words from someone. If so, then the hatred would be too cheap. If you are pitiful, it is even less worth hating.

"You can reserve your opinions, Regicide, and I also reserve my opinions, but I still hope that you can talk to these people in Che City again and tell them the true purpose of the integration movement. I will not stop them. Revenge, but they must clearly distinguish the direction of their revenge, towards Ursus, rather than starting a riot." Tallulah looked at Lyudmila seriously and said: "I can't let my people be blinded by hatred because of a group of people. People with infected eyes risked their own lives. I want them to live. We all need to live. No matter what happens in the future, only those who survive can talk about the future."

Tallulah handed the list to Lyudmila again.

Lyudmila looked at the list that was returned to her in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it and put it back in her arms.

"I know, but I can't promise you that."

"You don't have to promise me." Tallulah shook her head and said, "We all want to allow the infected to have their own land to thrive and live well. No matter what the outcome is, our purpose is always the same."

"Thank you."

"It's me who should thank you, thank you for trusting me."

She smiled and the Kingslayer stood up.

"It's almost time. It's time for me to leave. I will seriously consider your opinions just now, Tallulah."

"be careful."

"I know."

"I'll see her off." Alina stood up.

"Excuse me, Alina."

Until Alina and Lyudmila left.

Only then did Tallulah focus on Petrova again, and the snow monster could see that she had something to say.

"what's up?"

"I haven't spoken yet."

"I can tell you have something to say. You don't trust those people, do you? Tallulah."

"No, I trust them, but I can't make any preparations just because of trust. I hope you can leave Qicheng and go to Frost Star. Karl and Aurora's crossbowmen are also approaching Qicheng. Let Froststar join them first. The original plan remains unchanged. Snow monsters and guerrillas will pick up the evacuees, but Karl and Avora, they no longer have to act with Froststar and the others. I need someone to handle emergencies. When the time comes, we will support us around Qicheng City."

"I know." Petrova answered simply.

"You don't even want to ask why?"

"No, you must have your reasons for doing this. And like you, I don't quite trust the infected people in the city. They are much smoother than the people we have met before. If we say that they are also infected, we will not We have encountered a lot of betrayal of each other along the way."

"Don't think so bad, just make the necessary preparations."

"I know, I know." Petrova waved her hands, hesitated and said, "Do you feel that you look more and more like Chen now?"

"..."

Tallulah was stunned, but she didn't answer.

"Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have said such things." Petrova said hurriedly.

Tallulah smiled.

"It's ok."

"When should I leave?" Petrova abruptly changed the subject.

"The sooner, the better. Remember to pay attention to your own safety. The security level in the city is very good during this period. Several secret roads that used to leave the city can no longer be used."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Petrova walked to the door, and at this moment Alina opened the door and came in, and they met at the door.

"Are you leaving? Pepe."

"Don't call me that, Alina, I have an important mission."

"I was thinking of letting you stay and have dinner together."

"Next time, by the way, there's no need to send it to me."

Alina missed getting out and Petrova walked out.

The door was closed from the outside, and with the sound of going down the stairs, the bell hanging at the door rang faintly.

Alina stood in front of the door, looking at Tallulah who was sitting there.

"She looked anxious."

"Ah."

"You look very relaxed." Alina put her hands on her hips and began to scold, while Tallulah was still sitting where she was.

"It's time to cook, Alina, what's for dinner tonight."

The night was silent, and the warm light illuminated the small dining table. Tallulah sat opposite Alina and looked at Alina who took off her apron and spread jam on the bread slices.

"Alina..."

"what happened?"

"Tonight may be our last dinner in Chernobog. I've contacted the people and they will take you out of the city tomorrow morning."

"So fast."

"It wasn't so fast originally."

"So you're about to do it, right, Tallulah."

"Well, the vanguard of the Third Army is still three days away from here. When Shuangxing and the others arrive, the vanguard of the Third Army will also enter Qicheng at the same time. This is our best chance, but contact Lyudmila I have a bad feeling about the batch of infected people. After all, our time here is too short. Originally, in my plan, we had at least a year to slowly figure out the infection in Chernobog. The situation of the victims is not possible now. The dispute between Yanguo and Ursus is imminent. No one can say clearly how long this war will last, and no one can say clearly how the city will deal with the infected after the third group arrived in Checheng. Will it be more severe?"

"I understand, you have to be careful too, Tallulah. I can't help you here. I won't stay to drag you down, but you should also pay attention to your own safety."

"I understand, don't worry."

"You always say that, which makes me even more worried."

"By the way, Mephisto is in Karl's team now. You can go and see him. I heard that he declined the opportunity to go to Kazdare for training."

"You know, he is worried about Sasha, and I also think that with Ino's character, just talking to him is useless, someone has to watch him."

"He will grow up sooner or later. Compared with many of his peers, they have done very well." Tallulah said, "When I was his age, I couldn't even hold a weapon."

"You never mentioned it."

Tallulah shook her head.

"It's nothing too important," she said.

Chapter 36 Rainy day

Tallulah retracted her waving hand into her woolen coat bag.

The car carrying Alina slowly drove away from the streets of the lower city of Chernobog where they had lived together for almost three months.

Before leaving, the white-haired deer repeatedly looked back with worry. Tallulah smiled back, and then her smile faded when Alina looked away.

The sky was gloomy and drizzle was falling, and the raindrops fell diagonally on Drake's silver hair. Even the bright silver hair looked dim under the gloomy sky.

In the lower city of Chernobog near the industrial area, the air is always filled with ashes and turbidity that seem to never go away. The steam pipes between the densely packed industrial plants provide power and energy to the entire city, and the Origin Stone is transformed into blood and injected into it. The heart of this city's boiler enables it to walk across the vast land and avoid natural disasters.

Tallulah turned around and walked into their original home.

Finding the sword and costume she had hidden inside from the storage compartment, Draco changed into the clothes in the wilderness until nightfall. She made dinner by herself, but when she opened the refrigerator in the kitchen, she saw E Lafia had already prepared the food and was sitting quietly in the room where she was the only one left. The big sword was leaning against the table. His taste buds were filled with two different flavors. Only then did Draco realize that in just three months, she had already He was used to Alina being by his side.
