Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

Under the brutal suppression of the army, they quickly understood the rules here, and it can be expected that the crime rate in the city will be reduced to the lowest level in the future.

…………

Tonight was a crucial moment. Having made up her mind, Xinteleya temporarily put all her work on hold. Anyway, everything was coming to an end now, and these tasks could be completed well by handing them over to her subordinates. Although she had made a lot of preparations in advance, when it came time to act, she was still so nervous that she couldn't breathe.

Tonight, Xinteleya wore a white dress, revealing her white arms and calves. The climate in Longmen's current location is very warm, which makes the Ursus people in the city a little uncomfortable to adapt to. Some people even suffered from heatstroke because they wore too much. Her dress was just right.

The bow and arrow had been safely put back in his room, and the route had already been planned. All he needed now was a little courage...

Continuously cheering herself up, Xinteleia stood alone on the roof, with a huge water tank beside her. She looked unreal and beautiful under the hazy moonlight, but her movements destroyed the mood.

The girl walked back and forth, her face turning red and white, constantly switching between shyness and excitement, until finally she stopped her urge to retreat. As if to prevent herself from regretting it, she disappeared here at an extremely fast speed, leaving only a white afterimage.

She had come to this administrative building countless times, both openly and secretly. Due to the special nature of her job, most people would not know of her arrival. Wearing a white dress, she gave up the idea of ​​drilling into the ventilation duct, after all, that would be too embarrassing. In this case, she could only approach from the corridor. In order to prevent rumors, she had to avoid everyone's eyes.

Xintrea began to devote herself to the current matter. She easily bypassed one guard after another. Even if she was wearing a pair of sandals, it did not have much impact on her. Because she walked through every corner here, she would not waste extra time and arrived at Claude's door using the simplest route.

At this point, she had no intention of backing down and knocked on Claude's door directly.

Bang bang bang!

The knock on the door was louder than she expected, but fortunately the hall was very noisy, so it didn't attract anyone else's attention. The girl's fingers intertwined, twisting restlessly, and her heartbeat reached its peak at this moment.

The door opened smoothly without any damn accidents.

Claude was still wearing his clothes, and Cinderella lowered her head slightly with her hands behind her back. Both of them hesitated for a moment before Claude made way for Cinderella to walk in, closing the door with some force.

Before he could turn around, a pair of slender arms had already wrapped around his waist. Feeling the familiar warmth, his body suddenly stiffened.

"I changed into the clothes I just bought."

"The clothes are nice."

"Don't I look good?..."

Claude was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer, so he could only respond dryly:

"You are beautiful too, and you are even more beautiful in this dress..."

"Hey hey hey..."

Cintrea didn't know why she was grinning, but she suddenly felt very happy, extremely happy, and was laughing so hard behind Claude's back.

Under the dim light, the atmosphere quickly became ambiguous...

…………

Tallulah walked briskly to Claude's room. The administrative building was particularly noisy today because the two cities would separate and embark on their own journeys tomorrow. All work had to be completed tonight. The coffee in the coffee machine would be replaced with new coffee every ten minutes or so. A group of staff with dark circles under their eyes lined up to get coffee here.

Starting from tomorrow, they will take turns to have a 5-day vacation, so even if they are very tired, no one wants to relax. Otherwise, it would be too miserable to be suddenly called back by a phone call during the vacation to deal with the problems they left behind.

There is no such thing as rest for Tallulah. She will continue to work tomorrow, but her endless energy supports her to do more. For example...

Bang bang bang!

The sound of her knuckles knocking on the wooden door was very clear. It was still early, so she was not worried about disturbing Claude's sleep, and she just happened to have something to say to Claude.

Strangely, Claude did not open the door in time. Instead, he pushed the door open after a delay of about a minute. He was only wearing a white shirt with the top two buttons of the shirt undone, revealing his collarbone.

After taking a look through the gap in his clothes, Tallulah raised her head and looked at Claude. His hair was still combed meticulously, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"What's wrong? Tallulah, don't you want to take a good rest? You must be exhausted these days, right?"

Claude rolled up his sleeves to his elbows. Although it was quite hot these days, Tallulah still felt a little alert.

"I have something I want to tell you, Claude, you won't let me in?"

Claude hesitated for a moment, which was very rare, before turning sideways to let Tallulah in.

By the time the door was closed, Tallulah had walked to the chair and sat down very naturally. There was no sofa in Claude's room, only a wooden round table and four wooden chairs. There was a vase in the middle of the table, but because of the climatic conditions in Ursus, the vase was empty here for most of the year.

Made of hardy oak from northern Ursus, it is very sturdy and durable and is the traditional furniture of the Ursus people.

Claude had no choice but to walk over.

………………

Margaret's heart was in great turmoil. Only she knew what she had just seen. Having read dozens of romance novels, Margaret naturally knew what the scene before her meant... That was why she was so entangled and conflicted.

What should I do? …………

Yan Kingdom, Longmen and Victoria: Chapter 4: Incident ()

This wooden chair was actually a bit low, causing Claude's two long legs to stick out uncoordinatedly. After all, the original owner of this room might have been short, and no new furniture was ordered when Claude moved in, so it seemed a bit awkward. But it wasn't that he couldn't sit on it. He just had to stretch his legs a little further under the table and he could sit comfortably.

So Tallulah looked at the foot touching her boot calmly without making any noise, still chatting and laughing. Claude also got rid of his initial awkwardness. They were comrades who had entrusted their lives to each other, so naturally they would not be on guard against each other.

"You are too polite. I just passed on a message. There is no need to thank me specially."

Claude shook his head and laughed, he didn't expect the other party to thank him for such a small thing, which seemed like an overreaction considering the relationship between them. Although the two of them were talking very intimately, for some reason, they both tacitly didn't turn on the lights, and only used the moonlight outside the window to illuminate the room.

"No, I can't thank you enough, Claude. You made me see my true thoughts... Chen came here to see me today, and we had a very happy chat. If you hadn't asked me a question, I might have kept avoiding it."

Claude stood up and walked to the refrigerator. This refrigerator seemed a little redundant in Ursus. After all, it would only be used for a short period of time in a year. But when it was really needed, its benefits could be felt. The weather in Longmen was so hot that without this refrigerator, there was no hope of having cold drinks.

Claude opened the refrigerator door and found the iced tea he had made two days ago. This was a traditional drink in his hometown in the North. It was said that this drink was originally hot, but later someone found that it tasted better when it was cold, so this way of drinking it was passed down. Every winter, the group of burly men would quarrel over whether to drink it cold or hot, and they would often start fighting after just three sentences.

Now that Claude thought back, he suddenly felt that maybe they didn't really hate drinking cold or hot drinks, they just wanted to find an excuse to fight. After all, everyone seemed to drink cold drinks in the end.

A bonfire was lit in the fire pit in the middle of the hall, and thick tree roots were stuffed into it. It could burn all night long, making everyone who got close to it sweat. At this time, my mother would often bring a clay pot with ice tea, and everyone who wanted to drink it had to bring their own cups. In the extremely cold weather there, the ice tea placed in the corner of the hall would soon be filled with fine ice chips. Then, ignitable liquor would be poured into it. The drink with the aroma of berries and pine would make people shiver all over after one sip.

After enduring this period of cold, the aroma will burst out in the mouth and stomach. Then he will wrap himself tightly with thick fur clothes and can't stop drinking one cup after another by the campfire. Then, because he drank too much liquor, he will fall headfirst by the campfire and be dragged away by the women with laughter.

Of course, Claude can't find raspberry berries and silver pine in his hometown in the iced tea he makes, but similar things can still be bought in Longmen. To be honest, the taste is very different. A person often remembers what he ate when he was a child, so he can taste it as soon as he puts it in his mouth.

Although he was not very satisfied, others seemed to like it very much, especially Ceope, who would try to open his refrigerator every day and clear out all the iced tea inside. This strange iced tea seemed to be particularly suitable for the hot weather here. Claude also tried to let his friends in Rhodes Island taste it, and everyone gave it high praise. Especially after adding strong liquor, it became very popular.

Major bars in Rhode Island quickly launched his drinks, which made him a small profit.

And no one knew how the news leaked out, but this drink quickly became popular in the army, especially because of Claude's influence, almost every soldier was interested in trying this drink. The window that originally served spirits in the cafeteria simply made all the spirits into this drink, so that the soldiers could drink a glass of iced tea that could be ignited after dinner.

Of course, there was no liquor in Claude's drinks.

When the iced tea was taken out, it was frozen just right, and you could see the finely crushed ice inside. When exposed to room temperature, cool steam began to slowly rise from it. Then he picked two pieces of mint from the basket on the table, patted them quickly, and threw them into the cup. This was an innovation made by Claude, which was not in the original version.

Tallulah naturally took the cup that belonged to her. She crossed her long legs, her round and tight thighs pressed against each other, her military boots with heels hanging in the air, a smile appeared on her fair face, and her eyes revealed a unique look:

"And I believe that any normal person can see that our organization would have been destroyed long ago without you... My naive wish will only burn out like myself. Although I have been prepared to be exposed to the wilderness since the moment I volunteered to become an infected person, if our ideals were destroyed and distorted like that, it would be more terrifying to me than death."

"We already have the power to succeed, but no one has found the right path before. This is the most difficult part. As long as we can solve this problem, the future will be a bright road for us... and I just took advantage of it and knew it in advance."

Claude turned around and reached into the closet with his right hand without making a sound. When he took it out again, the cup of iced tea had disappeared. He responded to Tallulah while walking back to the table and took a sip of the iced tea. He immediately raised his eyebrows. The iced tea tasted particularly unique at this moment, and even cooled his hot body.

When he pulled out a chair and sat down, he felt an undisguised gaze from the opposite side. He looked up and saw that it was indeed Tallulah who was looking at him seriously.

………………

Whether it is Draco or the dragon clan, these two powerful creatures have one thing in common: they have a fiery pursuit of power and desire, and at the same time have a strong desire for exclusivity and perseverance, and they will not give up easily until they achieve their goals.

As for Tallulah, unfortunately, she had the blood of two races in her body. The cup of ice tea that just flowed down her throat did not extinguish the fire in her heart at all...

Claude was wearing very thin clothes tonight. He could move freely in the cold wind of dozens of degrees below zero wearing only the cold armor, but he could hardly endure the high temperature of dozens of degrees above zero, so the shirt he was wearing was a very thin layer of white silk, and it seemed that you could vaguely see something through the shirt.

The top three buttons of his shirt had been unbuttoned, revealing smooth and fair skin on his neck and collarbone. Despite having experienced so many wars, Claude had no scars on his body. After all, with his years of experience and intuition, he could already dodge most attacks, and with the protection of sophisticated armor, it was even harder for him to get hurt.

Her eyes scanned the gap in the collar, the forearms with smooth muscle lines. Tallulah's tongue slowly licked the corners of the red lips, bringing out an inexplicable color. She had never realized before that Claude was so "attractive"...

"It was so close that Sintela succeeded. Rather than letting her succeed, I'd rather... "

Tallulah shook her head vigorously, throwing away these messy thoughts from her mind, feeling ashamed for her dark thoughts towards her companions. After all, she was a very self-disciplined person, and she soon realized that her thoughts were abnormal... Perhaps it should not be called abnormal, this was a thought that naturally spread from the depths of her heart, and she knew the authenticity of this thought better than anyone else.

Unable to deceive herself, Tallulah soon could not suppress the fire deep in her heart: she could not deceive herself, she just could not tolerate that someone else could get Claude instead of herself. As long as she thought of such a possibility, the hot flame would begin to burn her heart, and a strange anger would spread, driving her to take action to fight for what she wanted.

This desire was so intense and direct, without any twists and turns, it revealed everything to her directly. Just like a giant dragon in the mist, showing its ferocious scales, rugged bone spurs and sharp teeth, with pupils burning like lava, flowing with tyranny and desire. This terrible beast would not hesitate at all and would immediately use all means to achieve its goal.

The fire burning in her heart almost burned out all her internal organs, making Tallulah involuntarily take another glass of ice tea and drink it, hoping that this cold mixture of ice water could lower the temperature a little. But this was not the temperature of the flesh, but the uncontrollable burning in her heart. How could she expect to suppress it with two sips of drink?

And it was as if a switch was turned on. Tallulah clearly felt her body temperature begin to rise. This was not a psychological effect or illusion, because water vapor had leaked out from the corners of her mouth, just like a dragon puffing out smoke. There was also a little sweat on her forehead. As if to cover up something, Tallulah drank all the liquid in the cup in one breath, and even bit the mint in her mouth, squeezing out more juice with her teeth.

The mint's refreshing scent was like a bottle of fuel, making her face even redder. She couldn't help but lower her head to cover it up, but Claude had already noticed her abnormality.

"Tallulah, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Squeak!"

A slight sound of gnashing teeth was heard in the closet, and slender fingers tightly grasped the glass. Just when the glass was about to be crushed, he regained his senses at the last moment and stopped his action, leaving only a crack on the edge of the glass.

But in those elegant eyes, there was terrible anger, but because he couldn't be discovered by the other party, he had no place to vent, and he couldn't even kick the cabinet in front of him. He could only use his anger like an arrow on a bowstring, just like doing his best shooting, as long as he concentrated and let his body's instinct take the lead, he could accurately hit the target.

But her cold gaze shot out from the gap between the cabinets, but it was difficult for the other party to detect it, so Xinteleya could only be extremely angry in extreme anger...

Of course, Claude, a blockhead, couldn't tell what was going on, but she knew it all too well. Tallulah's eyes were filled with undisguised desire, as if Claude had turned into a table of delicious food in front of someone who had been hungry for three days. It was already remarkable that she could restrain herself from rushing over.

Especially since she didn't know she was still here, Xintelaiya who was hiding in the dark could observe so carefully and also confirm her thoughts. She thought Tallulah was the only one among these girls who would not compete with her, but she didn't expect that she was hiding so deeply...

She couldn't help but gnashing her teeth, not daring to imagine what it would be like if the other party wanted to do something and she could only watch. It would be such a terrible scene, like being splashed with a basin of ice water when Ursus was at its coldest. A chill swept through the girl's body.

At the same time, she was also sure that her information must have been leaked, otherwise Tallulah could not have come at such a coincidence, especially since she had unexpectedly started patrolling the administrative building today, contrary to her usual practice. Normally, she would work overtime in her office and would not leave the office until around 11 o'clock in the evening.

And in order to achieve her goal, she even sent the Patriot to the hospital! ... The more Xintela thought about it, the angrier she became. She had thought that Tallulah was an upright person, but she had never expected that she would give her a hard time at a critical moment. Just when she was about to achieve her goal with Claude's half-hearted consent, the other party took advantage of this moment to ruin her good fortune.

Although her relationship with Claude had taken a big step forward and could not be said to be completely fruitless, Xintela was still unwilling to give up because she could have gotten more if only no one disturbed her tonight...

Seeing that Tallulah had bad intentions, or at least had such thoughts, she immediately became extremely anxious: she had to think of a solution. But in this situation where she couldn't be exposed, what solution should she think of?

When people are facing heavy pressure, as long as they can calm down and think, they can often find ways to solve the problem.

…………

The corners of Xinteleya's mouth curled up slightly. Although the dress had no pockets, she had a carrying device on her thigh, which contained her communicator.

Because she was afraid that the light would attract attention, Xinteleya groped in the dark and typed a line of words, then clicked send.

The avatar used by the recipient is an orange-yellow honey cake with a shiny and crispy crust sprinkled with fine sesame seeds, and you can almost smell the sweet taste just by looking at it.

Yanguo, Longmen and Victoria: Chapter 237: The Sudden

The golden honey cake has a crispy outer crust. You can taste the sweet inner core by just biting it. The only thing that is annoying is that the crispy crust always falls from the side of your mouth when you chew it. But Xiao Ke has already thought of a perfect way to solve it. He puts a plate in front of him so that the fallen crumbs will all fall into the plate and he can eat it all in one go.

The canteen in the military camp next to the administrative building sells this kind of honey cake. Because it is really delicious, it quickly became popular with everyone. Soldiers who have to undergo heavy training every day welcome this high-calorie food very much. Paired with a bottle of strong liquor, it is a very good midnight snack.

This also provided considerable convenience for Ceobe. After all, it was certainly a good thing for her to be able to eat delicious honey cakes without having to bake them herself.

The chef team of the Integration Movement is well-tested. They have been preparing food for everyone since the tundra of the northwest. In that era of food scarcity, the chefs had to rack their brains every day to make high-calorie food that could sustain the soldiers for a whole day of fighting and training. They also had to guard against sneak attacks by the enemy. Therefore, every chef who survived to this day can be said to be well-trained and can pick up a crossbow and join the soldiers in battle at any time.

Their cooking skills were quickly improved after entering the city, and they no longer had the rough taste of the past. After the introduction of various mechanized equipment, they were able to cook a large amount of food in a very short time. Although in principle the food in the canteen was only provided to soldiers and staff, and ordinary civilians were not even allowed to approach the barracks, Xiao Ke, who had participated in the Chernobyl battle, was naturally not among them. He purchased a large amount of honey cakes at a very cheap price and sneaked back to the room alone with a large bag on his back.

After all, if Claude and the others found out, they would definitely confiscate all of my honey cakes on the grounds that eating too much would cause tooth decay, so I could only eat them secretly. As long as I brushed my teeth immediately after eating, it would be difficult for Claude and the others to notice.

Since she discovered this loophole, Ceobe has done this every few nights, carrying a large bag of honey cakes, and then going again the next night with an empty bag. In order to cover up the traces, she brushes her teeth carefully every day to ensure that there is no trace of honey cake left in her teeth.

Xiao Ke had overlooked one thing. In order to conceal her tracks, she would turn off the lights every day and eat honey cakes in the dark in her room. When the other rooms were lit up, she would appear very suspicious and conspicuous when she turned off the lights...

Today is also the time to enjoy delicious honey cakes. Her furry yellow tail flapped on the sofa again and again, and she kept chewing the sweet honey cake in her cheeks. She finished one in two or three bites, and then continued to take out new ones from the bag next to her. This cycle continued over and over again, and the bulging bag became deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ding dong!"

The terminal assigned to her suddenly lit up, and a loud prompt tone interrupted the crunching sound of chewing honey cakes.

Accompanied by a rather cute "Hmm?" Xiao Ke took his terminal in confusion, looked at the text sent, and carefully deciphered it.

"Claude...something delicious...quickly...delicious!!"

Ceobe perked up all of a sudden. Although she didn't recognize half of the content, she could guess what it meant. So she didn't delay any longer. She immediately stuffed the honey cake in her hand into her mouth, then quickly cleaned the table and hurriedly opened the door and went out.

Because Hart has been put in solitary confinement recently and has to go to school every day, she lives alone and doesn't have to worry about anyone complaining about her, so Xiao Ke has been so indulgent in eating honey cakes these days.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Tallulah knew that something was wrong with her, but she didn't feel disgusted. Instead, she wanted to continue indulging herself.

Tallulah had never felt so clearly that she wanted something, and the person was right in front of her. There was no better opportunity than now to express her feelings. She had never been good at hesitation, and she would always do the right thing as soon as she realized it.

"Tallulah, what's wrong with you?"

Claude also noticed that something was wrong with the girl. Out of concern, he subconsciously stood up and walked in front of her.

He took a closer look and confirmed his judgment. The girl's body temperature was rising abnormally. Although Draco was born with a high body temperature, it would not be so high. Claude reached out and covered her forehead. The temperature was almost the same as that of a person with a severe fever.

"I'm fine. This is a normal reaction. Don't worry, Claude."

Tallulah naturally placed her hand on Claude's hand, then bent her fingers and clenched them, looking like she was being stubborn and refusing other people's concern.

Realizing that it might be Draco's unique physical characteristics, Claude breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she had hardly rested in the year since he left, and Claude was a little worried that her body could not hold up. He knew that fatigue would not disappear, but would accumulate until a critical point suddenly erupted.

The touch of the finger did not disappear, but Tallulah increased her strength and held his hand tightly. When the girl raised her head, Claude found that there was a strong charm in her bright eyes, and she was still increasing her strength. The purpose of her doing this was not to pull Claude down. After all, Tallulah herself knew that it was impossible to do so. The real purpose was to make herself stand up.
