Arknights? Colonization Ark!

Chapter 52: Its name is Snow Wind

When he returned to the city, Tallulah and the Shield Guards had just arrived with the last group of people who had been transferred here.

The two sides just looked at each other. Zhang Miao had no intention of going up to communicate with them at this time, so he just walked straight inside.

In the square, the originally empty space was now filled with people. For the first time, infected people from more than a dozen villages gathered together, totaling several thousand people.

No matter which country, a gathering of this number of infected people would be extremely dangerous for local rulers.

Because the number of infected people themselves is an unstable factor, let alone thousands of them.

If this situation occurs in a city, unless the local mayor does not intend to do it, he will immediately gather troops to disperse or encircle these infected people.

Now, not only are these infected people not harmed here, but each of them has a big bag of things in his hand. Any ruler who sees this scene will suspect whether they are preparing to rebel.

The bustling crowds have been gathering here for some time, and the number is still increasing. After a period of nutritional supplements, the infected people are not as impulsive and irritable as before. Instead, surrounded by the surrounding buildings, they have found a hint of the urban life atmosphere before they were caught to mine. So with Yelena and others working hard to maintain order, nothing has gone wrong.

Instead, everyone sat down on the ground and began to discuss the appearance of the city and the origins of the city lord who was willing to accept them.

Some people said that he was a noble of Ursus, but this was quickly denied by everyone, because Ursus had never had any nobles willing to accept infected people. To those high-ranking noble lords, only those infected people who stayed in the mines and mined until they died were good infected people. Not to mention building a city, they wouldn't even give you a tent.

Others speculated that he was a Colombian businessman, or a royal family member of Yan Country, but he certainly could not be a knight of Casimir.

No matter how they guessed, they couldn't explain why the other party would come to this snowy place to build a city. This would be a thankless task for anyone. The ideal location for building a city should be in the warm south.

Many people with broad knowledge gave their own guesses, but it was difficult to convince others because it was too unreasonable.

Yelena was chatting with Alina when she suddenly saw Tallulah coming back. She quickly stretched out her hand and shook it towards her.

"This way! Tallulah, we're here!"

Upon hearing the voice, Tallulah immediately walked towards the two of them.

After the three of them had their turn, Yelena looked behind Tallulah again and found that there was no one there. She asked curiously,

"Why are you alone? I thought Zhang Miao was with you. I looked everywhere but couldn't find any trace of him."

Hearing the other party asking about Zhang Miao, Tallulah remembered the fleeting figure she had just seen.

"He didn't act with me before, but he has returned."

After hearing the explanation, Yelena felt a little disappointed, and immediately began to complain to Tallulah about everything she had encountered here.

The ridiculously thick legal provisions and the completely incomprehensible mechanical equipment made the other two people laugh.

Although Alina had told these things before, she still found Yelena's complaining very interesting.

"Well, you'll still be living in this city in the future, so you have plenty of time to get familiar with it. Besides, Petrova is the one who looks at the laws, and you obviously haven't done anything."

Yelena blushed when she heard her lie exposed. She explained confidently:

"I also read it carefully! But I just couldn't understand it at all!"

As a result, the two of them laughed at Yelena again.

"Alina, what do you think of this place?"

"Although I don't quite understand why Mr. Zhang Miao wanted to build a city here, after coming here I felt that staying here was a very wonderful feeling, natural and relaxed. The whole city was seamlessly integrated, as if it had melted into this land. There was no sense of depression, gloom, or heaviness that I had seen in the mobile city. I guess he must be just like this city."

As a result, Alina's words brought back some bad memories for Yelena, and she immediately retorted

"You haven't met him yet. That guy is not a good person. Alina, don't be fooled by him!"

This made Talulah a little puzzled, because before this, the three of them should have acted together, and Zhang Miao should not have done anything bad, so why did Yelena react so strongly?

Seeing their strange looks, Yelena was too embarrassed to say it out loud, because after all, the other party had saved her life, even though he was a little frivolous.

"Oh! Alina, you must remember that guy is just like those nobles who like to play with other people's feelings. Don't believe his lies!"

After saying these words, Yelena left in a huff like a deflated ball.

Leaving behind two people who were still a little confused.

While the three of them were talking, a figure appeared on the stage in front of the square. It quietly looked at the noisy people below the stage and did not interrupt their conversation.

After the person closest to the stage noticed Zhang Miao who suddenly appeared, he looked at this stranger with some curiosity, and then seemed to realize something, and quickly reminded the guy next to him who was still talking nonstop. Then, in a short time, the whole square became silent, and everyone looked at the person on the stage.

There is curiosity, fear, vigilance, and awe in their eyes...

These Terrans not only have good physical fitness, but also strong eyesight. They can clearly see Zhang Miao's face even from a long distance.

There are no ears, no horns, and even no feathers, which makes many people who try to guess Zhang Miao's race disappointed, but also more curious.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

Zhang Miao's words were as clear as penetrating and reached everyone's ears.

"Yes, just as you guessed, I am the owner of this city - Zhang Miao. You can treat me as the city lord, the lord or anything else."

The two-character name sounds like the Yan people, but what are the Yan people doing here? Are they going to go to war with Ursus?

Zhang Miao seemed to be able to hear what they were thinking and continued

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm not from Yan Country, nor am I from any country you imagine. You just need to know that I am the owner of this city."

"And I just decided on the name of this city. It will be like the cold wind that has never stopped blowing on this frozen land for thousands of years, forever taking root in this land and continuing to thrive."

"Its name is Snow Wind."

Chapter 53: Passionate Speech

To be honest, this name is a bit unlucky. In fact, he wanted to call this place Wannian Xuefeng, but he felt that four words were a bit difficult to pronounce, so he gave up.

However, you can’t just look at some things superficially. Although the name Yukikaze is unlucky, didn’t the Yukikaze ship survive to the end?

As the saying goes, bad times will eventually bring good times.

But obviously these infected people cannot appreciate the greatness of this name.

"Well, let's get back to the topic.

Before we get down to business, I want to tell you a piece of bad news. The village where you used to live has been burned down by the Ursus army."

As soon as he said this, the crowd that was originally whispering fell silent, and many of them revealed expressions of astonishment and disbelief.

“I know that it may be hard for you to accept it for a while, but unfortunately this is true and you can never go back.

But there is also good news, that is, you can live with me. I believe Miss Yelena should have already told you about the relevant matters.

So I ask everyone here a question - do any of you know why you are here?"

.....

There was silence. No one answered the question. Most of them did not understand what Zhang Miao meant by this sentence. Only a few people showed a thoughtful expression, but still no one was willing to speak.

"Some of you may think, isn't this natural? You came here because you heard that you could have a better life here. Others may think that because the Ursus army came, Talullah deliberately concealed the truth and transferred you here in order to save you.

But I want to say, it's not what sent you here,

It is your former homeland - Ursus!

He is also your respected ruler - Emperor Ursus!

It is it that sent you to the mines of this snowy plain to work endlessly, and it is it that deprived you of your dignity as a human being.

What forced you to this point was not Originium or Ore Disease, but those high-ranking nobles and those greedy capitalists. It has nothing to do with your identity as a bullshit infected person!

You are just an excuse for them to divert conflicts!

I know most of you can understand this. Some of you used to be workers, some were students, some were individual traders or farmers. Everyone who has persisted to this day has suffered unimaginable torture, but you did not surrender. You did not beg for mercy from those nobles, begging them to let you return to that cold steel cage!

You have come here after going through so much hardship, but ask yourself, what do you really want?

Is it a house?

A piece of bread?

Is it a cotton coat?

Do not!

What you want is dignity and fairness!

It is the dignity of being able to walk openly on the streets!

You are not machines

Not a cow or a horse

You are human!

This country has come to where it is today not because of those nobles!

It's you

It was you, the hard-working workers, who built it!

The unyielding blood of your ancestors who fought against the brutal rule of the Eagle Empire still flows in your bodies.

I hope that when you die and see your ancestors in the future, you can proudly say to them: Your descendants have not brought shame to you!

So today, I'm giving you a chance.

In the name of freedom and fairness, fight for a new world, fight to liberate all the oppressed, and drive out the nobles and capitalists who do not produce but enslave the working people from this land! "

As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of people in the audience burst into deafening cheers. The sound resounded through the sky, as if it would really shake away the clouds that covered the blue sky!

"We are human beings, not slaves!"

"We created this Ursus, drive those guys out!"

Although we don't know the person on the stage, there is no doubt that he has expressed the real doubts and troubles in everyone's heart.

Why do we work so hard but can never fill our stomachs? Why do we have to be ostracized by everyone just because we have oripathy? Why are they already so miserable, but those guys still want to take away everything we have left?

Zhang Miao's speech brought out the little remaining will to resist and the long-suppressed anger in their hearts, which completely exploded at this moment.

The curiosity and vigilance in their eyes when they looked at Zhang Miao had all disappeared, and now only fanaticism remained.

At least for now, Zhang Miao's position in their hearts has surpassed Tallulah.

Zhang Miao pressed down his hands, and the noisy and excited crowd immediately quieted down. The noise stunned Yelena, who was still in a trance before. It took them several years to achieve this level of appeal, and Zhang Miao surpassed them in less than ten minutes.

In fact, even Yelena herself was inflamed by the other party's words. Her family was thrown into the mine in the same way. The elders in the family died one by one in front of her, the youngest child, due to high-intensity labor and mineral sickness. She hated this country called Ursus. If possible, she also wanted to burn all those damn nobles to death.

Compared to Tallulah who remained silent after listening to the speech, Alina seemed quite worried. She looked at the people around her who were being instigated. With her talent and intelligence, she understood the destructive power that would be caused if such power was directed in the wrong direction by bad people.

That would be a tragedy that would spread throughout the world.

"Tallulah...."

When she wanted to say something, Zhang Miao interrupted her again.

"I can understand your high emotions at the moment, but I hope you can understand that the house you live in was built by me, the clothes you wear were made by me, and the food you eat was given by me. Now you have nothing!"

His words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing everyone's enthusiasm.

Yes, they have nothing now, how can they resist the extremely powerful Ursus?

With your own life?

Don't be kidding. Although they are all very enthusiastic now, no matter how high their morale is, they cannot stop a crossbow arrow. If they really take up arms to fight Ursus now, I am afraid that half of them will die in the first encounter.

That Ursus conquered all the surrounding countries one by one.

No matter whether you win or not, at least Ursus looks ruthless enough.

"Now is not the time for you to engage in armed struggle, so for the sake of being worthy of the supplies I give you, for your own future, or for the sake of liberating more people, put all your enthusiasm into future study and production, arm your brains with knowledge, enrich your lives with the supplies you produce, and make all preparations for the great struggle that is about to come!"

"Do you understand everything?"

With Zhang Miao's last roar, the crowd's enthusiasm rose to a new level, and everyone shouted in unison:

"I understand!"

Chapter 54: Yelena has new clothes!

Zhang Miao gave these people this shot of chicken blood not because he expected them to do much, but because he hoped that this way they could integrate into the life here as quickly as possible.

After all, the way of life here is completely different from their previous one. If they don't use some tricks, it will probably take them at least a year or two to accomplish it.
