Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

At the registration site, she discussed the salary issue with everyone.

The salary she planned was just of average standard and there was nothing attractive about it, but the welfare system continued the generous tradition of Qingmiao Technology and made appropriate adjustments based on the current situation of the tundra infected, such as free canteens and free medical services.

This is related to some of her ideas. She hopes to use these systems to help some people she can help, at least so that these people can work and live without worries. She knows that she can't help many people, but she can help some.

Of course, these things have not been realized yet, and her promises may be empty talk, but since everyone is willing to trust her, she will let others see her progress step by step.

Afterwards, White Wolf took advantage of everyone being together and proposed a plan to open a tavern.

As soon as the plan was proposed, it immediately received the support of everyone. Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic, she arranged for film engineers on the spot and asked them to choose a site in the mining area themselves. If there was a suitable place, they could start preparations directly.

Next, she announced to everyone the infected employees who would be arriving tomorrow, while secretly observing everyone's expressions.

The lack of emotion in the crowd confirmed an observation she had long made, which she kept in mind and planned to write to Tallulah about.

Volume 4: Chapter 65: The Infected

The next morning, before daybreak, White Wolf got up in a hurry to wash and prepare to receive the infected miners.

The newly recruited workers yesterday knew that there were important things to do today, so they all got up earlier. When Bai Lang went out, he saw that they had already started to work under Mu's command.

White Wolf walked up to the Caprini and asked, "How is it? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Morning, young lady." Caprini took out the blueprint in his arms and handed it to White Wolf, saying respectfully, "There are a few things I need your advice on."

“You say.” White Wolf said as he picked up the blueprint and discovered that it was a plan of the entire mining area, with several circles drawn around the blank areas in the middle.

"The marked area is my preset assembly area. You can decide where to put it."

Bai Lang, who had been in the mining area for more than ten days, was already familiar with the locations on the map. He drew two red crosses on it and said, "The one on the left is set as the assembly square. The open space on the right near the staff dormitory should not be touched. I will need it in the future."

"Okay." Mu put away the blueprint. "There is one more thing. There are also ten imperial soldiers escorting the miners. They are sent by the military mining inspection department. They can provide unconditional security services for up to one month to prevent the miners from escaping. Do we need them?"

White Wolf shook his head: "No need, tell the escorting soldiers that we have sufficient security capabilities here, and they can leave after completing their escort mission."

"Okay, miss, do you have anything else to ask?"

"No, go and get busy first."

After Mu left, Bai Lang also became busy. As there were too few people now and many things were just starting, she had to run around to coordinate and direct various things, such as future employee diet issues, material distribution issues, work arrangements and so on.

At noon, accompanied by the roar of motor vehicle engines, eight white military pickup trucks lined up in a row and rushed from the south of the tundra. The convoy paused for a moment at the entrance of the mining area, and after confirming the situation with Mu, it drove into the interior of the mining area.

White Wolf had already been waiting in the designated square. As soon as the convoy arrived, she turned her attention to the infected people in the open-air carriage.

These infected people include both men and women, and are basically young and middle-aged miners who have been selected. However, these people do not have the vitality that people of their age should have. Instead, they are all listless and look ashen.

She thought of the infected mines in Ursus, which were synonymous with death factories, and sighed inaudibly.

The convoy stopped, and the soldiers got off one by one and lined up. The sergeant at the front walked up to White Wolf, clenched his fist, and bowed, saying, "My Lord, all the infected laborers, a total of seventy-six, have been brought here. The captain of the sixth squad of the third detachment of the Inspectorate is waiting for your orders."

Bai Lang was slightly surprised. The other party called her Lord. Did that mean that the Marquis had dealt with her fake identity so quickly?

She did not show her surprise on her face, but glanced at the escorted miners with disgust and said indifferently: "I know."

Then, she said to Caprini beside her, "Mu, accept it according to the normal procedures, and you will handle the rest."

After saying that, she turned and left impatiently, looking completely unwilling to stay with the infected person.

After White Wolf left, the Master Chief turned and looked at the Caprini.

"The Lord has always been like this." Mu explained, "In fact, my master also has this attitude towards the infected, but you also know that the Marquis is also a businessman. Sometimes, in order to save face, he is a little lenient towards the infected. This is also a way to make them work hard, don't you think?"

"We don't understand the realm of the Marquis." The sergeant shook his head, "I just think that these guys should be locked up in the mine for life to prevent them from harming others. Do you need us to protect them for a while this time?"

"No need, the Marquis has already arranged a private guard team."

……

Bai Lang waited in the conference room on pins and needles for nearly an hour, and finally received a message from Mu saying that the military people had left, so she immediately rushed to the mining square.

A total of seventy-six infected miners gathered in the square, but the entire square was silent. With the arrival of the White Wolf, the infected raised their heads one by one, with fear and faint hatred flashing in their eyes.

Bai Lang didn't see the infected people clearly when they were in the car before, but now he found that each of them was wearing heavy shackles and their hands were also chained together. Their hair was a mess, and their faces were haggard due to long-term malnutrition, with dark blue whip marks on them. They were wearing uniform, tattered gray prison uniforms.

White Wolf clenched his fists, smiled bitterly, and then gently relaxed.

She walked up to the infected, cleared her throat, and tried to put on a warm smile: "Hello everyone, I'm Olicia, the person in charge of Ice Stone Mining. I don't know what everyone has experienced, but everything will change from today. There are no infected or non-infected people in Ice Stone Mining. Everyone who comes here is a company employee. I promise that everyone can live a normal life."

The infected people remained silent. They would not easily believe any words of the nobles. They just stared coldly at the speaking White Wolf, with suppressed anger hidden in their eyes.

"Mu. Do you have the key to the chain?" White Wolf lowered his head and asked Caprini who was nearby in a low voice.

"Here are my keys." Mu took out two keys and asked, "Do you need me to open them now?"

"give it to me."

"Miss, are you going to do it yourself... This is not suitable for your status and is very dangerous."

"Mu, Bingshi Mining is going to be run as a company. From now on, there will no longer be a distinction between nobles and ordinary people. Everyone is just a part of the company. I have prepared for the security issues myself, don't worry."

The Caprini looked at the white wolf with a complicated expression, and finally nodded: "These two keys correspond to the anklet and bracelet respectively. You must pay attention to safety."

The White Wolf smiled at the Caprini in response, then walked towards the infected with the key.

She could feel that as she approached, the anger of the crowd was completely ignited, but the infected people deliberately suppressed their anger, and some even pretended to be afraid. A sick light appeared in their eyes. They wanted to show weakness in order to lure her to approach step by step.

These people knew that they had come to the 'Death Mine', and most of them had even made up their minds to die. Their anger was met with a desperate reality. At this moment, what would be the consequences if a lone and unarmed noble came over?

She understood the emotions of the infected people, and also understood the contradictions that seemed to be forever irreconcilable, but what could she do? What could she do?

Only when she witnessed this bloody, morbid hatred with her own eyes did she realize that she was helpless. She had nothing to do except confusion and despair.

Volume 4: Chapter 66 Letter

The distance between the White Wolf and the infected people was getting closer and closer, and the attitudes of the infected people changed slightly. An emotion called astonishment began to spread among the crowd.

"Noble, are you looking for death?" The Ursus prisoner standing in the front growled with red eyes, the iron chain on his wrist trembling violently, "Don't think that we can't do anything to you just because our hands and feet are tied up."

White Wolf stopped, stared blankly at the Ursus, then lowered his head and said painfully: "I, I will come over to help you open the shackles."

"Open the shackles? Haha, you, how is that possible? I will kill you immediately." A crazy smile appeared on the Ursus man's face. The chains on his body clanged along with his violent laughter, as if he heard the funniest joke in the world.

The White Wolf walked up to the Ursus man step by step without saying a word. The Ursus man stopped smiling, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his face was full of confusion.

Why did this nobleman really come here?

"Hand." White Wolf said softly.

The Ursus man held out his hands in a daze. He saw that Noble Luper lowered his head and carefully used the key to open the shackles on his hands. Then he half-knelt on the ground, his plain white clothes covered with dust, and tried to unlock the shackles on his feet.

He looked at his hands in disbelief. The chains had fallen to the ground and there was nothing on his wrists. He waved his hands lightly and his hands were free to move.

He was confused for a moment, and suddenly realized that he could take revenge. There was a nobleman in front of him who could let him vent all his anger. This was the most golden opportunity.

He recalled the torture he had suffered and gradually clenched his fists. His eyes were fixed on Lupert, who helped him untie the chains and then walked towards the next infected person. He kept telling himself that the other party was a hateful noble who forced him to this point, and he needed legitimate revenge.

Kill her, kill her!

At the same moment, the confusion just now came to his mind again. Why, why did the other party come over? His shackles were really gone. They were gone.

Is he free?

Is he free?

This is not a dream. Is there really a day of freedom in this world?

He glanced at the defenseless figure from behind, and instead of seeking revenge, he squatted down, covered his face with his hands, and burst into tears.

……

In the letter to Tallulah, White Wolf wrote:

My perspective has changed, and this is not a world of despair.

If one day, conflicts can be eliminated, all credit should be attributed to ordinary people, because it is their kindness that keeps the hope of this world alive. If there is real history in this world, it should be the history of ordinary people, not the family affairs of kings, generals and imperial nobles.

Tallulah, if our cause bears fruit, our names should turn to dust. That glory does not belong to you or me, but to everyone, to everyone who fights for the rights of people infected.

I'm sure you've heard about my company in the tundra. The infected here have been registered with the military and cannot join your team, but we will support the actions of the integration movement in another way.

Recently, I have read many books and combined them with my own investigation of the actual situation in Ursus. I discovered an element that may have been overlooked by you, and I must tell you about it.

Ordinary people in Ursus, or ordinary people living in poverty, do not reject the infected.

This is actually easy to understand. Under harsh living conditions, people are more likely to suffer from oripathy. The family members or neighbors of these ordinary people may be among the infected people, and they are naturally close to the infected people.

I have noticed this in the slums of Che, in the tundra, and among the poor workers on the outskirts of Koros. They stand on the same front as the infected, facing the exploitation of the nobility and the oppression of the military.

Another important reason is that the empire’s political propaganda discriminating against the infected is only concentrated in cities and is difficult to reach remote rural areas.

But even in the city, many young students who were influenced by other countries began to reflect on the Empire's policy towards infected people. I saw these lovely children when I was in Che City. I was delighted by their innocent and righteous ideas, but they didn't know that ideals were too far away from reality. If these ideas were implemented, it would be a long and painful road.

Talulah, I say this to tell you that we have many enemies, but also many friends, and countless potential allies. Even among the nobles, there are many who are willing to be infected. When you make a decision, you should think more, talk more with the Patriots and Alina, and never be impulsive.

Anger is an equally powerful weapon, but reason has equal or even greater power.

I believe you can do it, just like you believe me.

In a few days, I will go to Victoria, which you have been longing for, and I will bring you some photos of there.

I hope that when we meet next time, we will both have grown up and don’t let your sister down.

By the way, on the first day of April, the railway from Winterfell to Chernobog will start operating. I will take the first batch of mineral trains and fly from Chernobog to Victoria. The subsequent ore business will be handed over to you and the people in Winterfell.

I have attached a letter of recommendation. You can give it to any member and ask him/her to go to Rhodes Island as a messenger. I personally recommend the King Slayer's subordinate, a man named Ethan. His Originium skills are very special and he is suitable to be a secret liaison.

If you need my help or have any other troubles, you can write to me and I will reply in time.

——White Wolf

When Tallulah read the letter, White Wolf was already on the train to Che City.

After experiencing that incident, she developed a special layer of trust with the infected people.

She herself didn't know where this trust came from. She just went to the crowd and carefully helped the seventy-six infected people open their shackles.

Since everyone was willing to listen to her, she assigned the infected employees only one job: studying.

The educated people in the company are responsible for teaching others to read and write. Her reason is that the company will have higher requirements for employees' business capabilities in the future, and everyone must receive basic education.

The infected people knew how rare this opportunity was. The education system in Ursus had always been backward, and people born in remote areas were naturally isolated from learning. They seized this opportunity with an eagerness that attracted attention.

However, on April 1st, Bai Lang, the chief teacher, said goodbye to everyone. Amid everyone's panic, he explained that he was going to Victoria to recruit a group of outstanding researchers for the company, and announced that he would conduct an assessment of all employees when he returned.

Volume 4: Chapter 67: Cutting the City

If April in the north is just the melting of ice and snow, bringing a hint of life amid the bleakness, then the south has long been full of greenery and vitality.

White Wolf was one of the few passengers on this freight train, and she was accompanied by the transport escorts arranged in advance by Carolingian.

Perhaps because she was such a "noble" sitting in the carriage, the guards all looked solemn and silent. She was also happy to be alone, looking out the window, observing the green trees and grass that she had not seen for a long time.

From early morning to night, and from night to early morning, the train finally arrived at its destination - Chernobyl Freight Station.

After a few whistle blasts, the train door opened and White Wolf was the first to get off the train, carrying a dark brown leather suitcase.

The freight station and the passenger station are not in the same place. The freight station is located outside the city, about two kilometers to the east. The surrounding area is sparsely populated, but the road system is quite developed.

There was already a group of Ursus people in dark grey suits waiting outside the train. This should have been arranged by Carolingian in advance.

Seeing Bai Lang coming down, the leader bowed first, then went to take Bai Lang's suitcase, and said at the same time: "Miss Olicia, the Marquis has made arrangements. The people from Longmen are waiting nearby. You can decide when to go and meet them."

Bai Lang didn't want to give her small suitcase to anyone else. It contained all the information and data about Bingshi Mining, as well as the recruitment plan she had painstakingly compiled. It held an extremely important position in her heart.

But in order to play the role of a 'noble lady', she pretended to be indifferent, handed the suitcase to others, and then said calmly: "This is the first time we work together. We can't keep Longmen's guests waiting for a long time. Lead the way."

"As you command, miss."

The group walked together towards the red building outside the freight station. White Wolf took a few steps and suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at the large group of people following behind him, then extended his hand expressionlessly:

"You, you, you, and you, you stay here on the train, and two of you can accompany me."

"Miss, there are Longmen's mafia in there, and there are quite a few of them." A subordinate quickly reminded.

"You just need to obey orders." White Wolf threw down a sentence and walked forward on his own, leaving everyone looking at each other for a moment, and then two people came out and followed White Wolf, one of them holding White Wolf's luggage in his hand.

It seemed that it had rained in Che City not long ago, and the air was filled with a unique fragrance mixed with soil and grass.

Bai Lang walked leisurely to the door of the red house and was about to open it, but immediately one of her subordinates took the lead to open the door for her, then bowed and made a gesture to invite her in.

Miss White Wolf felt particularly awkward. She wanted to say that she had hands and feet and didn't need anyone else to do it for her.
