Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

How would Xiaota react when he saw her?

There will definitely be a surprise. Will she do something out of the ordinary because she is so happy?

The probability should be very high. Xiaota can be very difficult to deal with when she gets enthusiastic. Besides, they haven't seen each other for almost half a year.

This was on the street. White Wolf's face turned red and he was hesitant, but he kept getting closer to the other person.

Xiaota was right in front of her, only a hand's distance away. He hadn't noticed her yet even though he was so close. She would criticize him severely and never let her guard down at any time.

She also wanted to ask the other party why he left in such a hurry without waiting for her to wake up.

Her arms trembled with excitement as she patted Xiaota's shoulder gently, waiting for him to turn around with anticipation.

"Hello, who are you?" The Drake with a red scar on her face looked at Rupert in confusion. She didn't know this person at all and didn't understand why he took a photo of her.

"Oh, yes, sorry, I recognized the wrong person." White Wolf's face turned red and he quickly bowed his head to apologize.

Mistakenly identifying a Drakk?

This reason was really strange. The Drak people looked at the white wolf in confusion and walked away.

The white wolf stopped where he was, feeling an uncontrollable sense of loss in his heart.

At this moment, she felt someone patted her shoulder.

Volume 5: Chapter 37: Lan Xi's Talks - Part 1

The depressed White Wolf turned around slowly and saw Tallulah standing in front of him.

So, she couldn't wrap her mind around it.

This, this, this, what’s going on?

Is that a dummy in front of you?

Seeing the silly look on White Wolf's face, Tallulah couldn't help but tap the tip of his nose.

"tower…"

“Shh—” The dragon girl quickly covered the white wolf’s mouth, “Don’t call me by my real name. I have hidden my identity. Call me Yeka or something else.”

"Yeah, Xiaota, it really is you."

"It's true, White Wolf, why are you here?"

"I, I was going to Bratz City, passed by by train, and then I saw you at the station."

"Did you get off the car when you saw me?" Tallulah's eyes lit up.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I clearly saw you before, but then, for some reason, I suddenly recognized the wrong person."

"You should blame me for this." Tallulah smiled gently, and with her right hand, she lifted a strand of hair that covered the white wolf's eyes. "I felt like I was being followed, so I thought of a little trick to make you find the wrong person, and then I secretly followed you."

"You, you recognized me later, right?" Bai Lang blushed, both because of the Dragon Girl's little trick and because of his own big mistake.

"Well, I recognized you right away when I followed you."

"Then why don't you remind me?"

"I want to see if you can find it yourself, White Wolf. You can't do this. You should be more vigilant. I was so close to you and you didn't notice. What if you meet someone with ulterior motives?"

"I... I understand."

The white wolf lowered her head, feeling aggrieved. She was so excited that she forgot everything because the other person was in front of her. Is this little tower a fool? He doesn't know how to understand others at all.

She had forgotten that she had intended to teach Tallulah a lesson for not being vigilant enough.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon, still early for dinner, so Tallulah took the secretly sulking White Wolf to Lan Xi Bar to rest.

The reason for choosing a bar is that this type of building is too common. There is never a shortage of bars in Ursus cities, just like there is no shortage of coffee shops in Colombia and no shortage of teahouses in Yan Country.

Generally speaking, Ursus people are used to hanging out in bars at night, so when Tallulah and White Wolf went in, the huge bar was empty.

The White Wolf habitually walked to an inconspicuous corner, and Tallulah followed and sat opposite her.

The bartender in a blue uniform came over and said, "Ladies, what can I order?"

"A glass of whiskey, and a glass of red wine for my companion, sweet red, thank you."

"I don't drink red wine, I want boiled water!" Miss White Wolf resolutely disobeyed Tallulah's arrangement.

After noticing the dragon girl's surprised and helpless expression, she felt much better. Rebellious behavior can indeed effectively relieve people's depression.

The waiter recorded the information in his register and confirmed with Bai Lang: "Miss, are you sure you don't want to order some wine? We also have lighter gin, champagne, and red wine."

"No, I just want plain water."

As soon as White Wolf finished speaking, Tallulah continued, "I want more of that red wine. I want both the whiskey and the red wine."

"Okay." The waiter was stunned, quickly checked us in and left happily.

White Wolf stared at Tallulah: "You want to mix it?"

The dragon girl shook her head and smiled: "No, I just want to try it to see what kind of wine you like."

"Okay." Bai Lang nodded, her fingertips sliding back and forth on the translucent glass table top. She suddenly felt that something was wrong with her. She actually got angry over trivial matters and refused the red wine she wanted to drink out of anger. It was totally unlike herself.

She seemed to be influenced by this dragon girl, which was really strange.

The waiter came over with a tray and served drinks, then returned to the bar and concentrated on watching a small-screen TV. White Wolf looked around the bar to make sure no one could hear her, then asked in a low voice: "How are you doing recently, Xiaota? Is everything going well with the organization?"

Tallulah did not answer. Instead, she held her chin and stared at White Wolf's face without blinking, which made White Wolf feel uncomfortable.

"Is there something on my face?" White Wolf touched his cheek.

"No." Tallulah shook her head.

"Then stop looking and answer my question."

"I want to see."

"You..." Bai Lang was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.

Tallulah lowered her head and covered her mouth with her hands and smiled: "I'm just kidding you. When I looked at you, I was thinking of one thing. If it weren't for you, the organization's actions would not have been so smooth."

"Really?" White Wolf's eyes sparkled. "Have I been of any help?"

"Of course, and I'm increasingly finding that what you do is the most important thing." Tallulah took a sip of wine and said calmly.

"I don't understand." Bai Lang looked at her in confusion, "Are you trying to comfort me? I'm not in the organization, I can only provide some supplies."

"Everything I said is true. Things are complicated. Do you want to hear about the progress of the organization?"

"Ah."

Tallulah put down her wine glass and slowly fell into memories:

"After that incident, I returned to the organization and started the plan to move south. The process of the organization's move south cannot be said to be smooth sailing, but the biggest obstacle is gone. I think this obstacle is the shortage of supplies. With the financial support of you and the Marquis, we purchased supplies from various inconspicuous places, used them for ourselves, or to rescue the infected who were desperate, and expanded the scale of the organization. The whole process moved forward naturally."

"Later, around April, the organization had two other outstanding cadres, Jiu and Lei Tan. Jiu is very smart, and many difficult problems can be easily solved in her hands. Lei Tan was born as a mountain merchant and is very familiar with the remote areas in the central and southern parts of Ursus. He helped the organization to make contacts and find many reliable new locations."

"As the organization expanded further, we began to encounter many organizations similar to the Integration Movement. We wanted to contact them, but we found that these people were basically no different from bandits. I was very sad. It turned out that the things in the official newspapers were not all slander. Sometimes I felt puzzled and frightened. Why didn't the Integration Movement become like that? Will our organization become like that?"

"The result of my thinking gave me chills. If there is not enough material support, the integration movement will become like that. Not everyone has faith. When everyone can't get a full meal, is starving, and their lives are threatened, how many people can listen to me when I talk to them about ideals and the future?"

"The answer is obvious. At that moment, the desire to survive may outweigh everything else. Moreover, with weapons in their hands, can they really sacrifice themselves for their ideals without hesitation? Or will they directly degenerate into hideous demons?"

"They are just ordinary people. Most of the people in the organization are ordinary people. I want to slowly understand their weaknesses and flaws, and then become the most special one among them and guide them. White Wolf, you told me these early on, and I am only beginning to understand them now."

"I have seen many infected organizations and non-infected resistance organizations. Their leaders originally had great ambitions, but when their organizations developed, they began to face a problem. They found it difficult to raise the necessary supplies for their members. The environment and national character of the Ursus Empire determine one fact: ordinary people will only want to join these organizations when they are exploited to the point where they have nothing and it is difficult to maintain their lives. If everyone has nothing, where can this organization get supplies?"

"Their first target is often an official organization, but they will soon encounter a bloody lesson. According to the original vision, they should not be afraid of sacrifice and use their lives to open up a path, but according to my observation, the result is not the case. I speculate that they discovered their own power in the process of violent actions, which comes from the collective power. At the same time, no one tells them how to use this power. A small number of people are lost in ecstasy, and more people are assimilated by the plague, and a group of mobs is born."

"At the organization's execution ground, there was an uprising leader who had killed hundreds of ordinary people. He knelt in front of me and cried. He said he really had no other choice. He hadn't slept for half a month. He said a lot..."

"After the execution, I thought about it for a long time. This matter is like a vicious circle. Only by maintaining a good reputation can they gain the support of ordinary people and obtain more supplies. But in the current environment of the empire, if they want to survive, they simply cannot obtain such a reputation, let alone maintain it."

Volume 5: Chapter 38: Lan Xi's Talks, Part 2

Tallulah borrowed the boiled water from White Wolf and moistened her dry throat.

She asked a little embarrassedly: "White Wolf, are you annoyed? I've been talking about so many things."

"No, Xiaota, I won't be annoyed by anything you say." The White Wolf looked at the Dragon Girl without blinking and said softly.

A strange feeling arose in Tallulah's heart, as if it had been softened. She had the urge to hold Miss White Wolf's hand in her palm, but she did not do so because the occasion was not appropriate.

She put aside all the distracting thoughts in her mind, sorted out her thoughts under the encouraging gaze of her companion, and continued, "White Wolf, you said in your letter that we should try to win over as many people as possible. Those infected organizations have been enemies of the vast majority of ordinary people from the beginning, and their path is destined to be tragic. The Integration Movement is completely different from them. When I was thinking about this problem, I imitated your thinking and did some analysis."

"The core reason is that we have never encountered a major material shortage. Up to now, I think the history of the organization can be divided into two stages, the ice field stage and the southward stage. We have not had this problem in both stages. In your words, we have an abundant material foundation."

"In the tundra, all the members of the organization were infected people who fled to the north. Although they lived in an extremely harsh environment, they all had their own living supplies, either from personal accumulation or from fish in the frozen lake. You know, General Patriot's guerrillas stayed in the tundra all year round and never worried about supplies."

"Of course, the price of abundant supplies is that we will be trapped in the tundra. Once we move south, our original advantages will be doubled into disadvantages, and the difficulties faced by the organization will be much greater than other infected groups in central and southern Taiwan. At that time, I didn't understand anything. If I didn't consider this problem and blindly led the integration movement south, the result would only be more serious than other infected organizations. At that moment, you chose to agree to the Marquis's conditions and obtained the most important first sum of funds for us."

White Wolf had thought about these issues before. It was precisely because she understood the importance of materials that she agreed to the Marquis's conditions to stay in Ice Stone Mining. However, even so, she still felt that Tallulah's description was a bit exaggerated, so she said:

"Xiaota, I don't think it will be that bad. The Integration Movement is different from other infected organizations. We are stronger from the beginning. Even if it's a little hard, we will get better slowly."

"I know what you mean. I believe in the Reunion Movement, the Patriots, Froststar, and Big Bob. But you know, White Wolf, I can't trust myself. I'm actually a terrible person."

"Xiao Ta, you're not bad, you're not bad at all. Does anyone say that about you?" White Wolf widened his eyes angrily.

Tallulah looked at White Wolf tenderly: "Listen to me, no one says this about me, but I know what kind of person I am. I am easily impulsive, and when I am impatient, I will make hasty decisions, and sometimes even give up on myself. White Wolf, don't refute me. I have seen many infected leaders fall into depravity. The more I see, the more I find that my fatal flaw is greater than all of them combined."

Miss White Wolf was very emotional, and Tallulah stroked the back of her hand to calm her down.

"White Wolf, you must listen to me. I can only tell you. I am not suitable to be the leader of the organization. Although I have the ability to mobilize others, my blindness, my arrogance, and my irrationality will lead me to the abyss."

"You didn't, Xiaota, and you won't have any in the future. I believe you 200 percent."

"Of course not. The organization has not been led into the abyss. Even though I have shortcomings everywhere, the organization is developing normally and moving forward under my leadership. I know the reasons better than anyone else."

Tallulah's burning gaze made the White Wolf dare not say a word.

"Have you guessed what I'm going to say? That's right, it's all because of you. White Wolf, you taught me so much, not just the direction of the organization, but also my mode of action. Whenever I want to make a decision, I will first think about what you would do. I miss you during the day and at night. I've been like this since the first time I saw you. Um, why are you blushing?"

"I didn't." Miss White Wolf denied helplessly. She knew that Dragon Girl didn't mean that, but the ambiguity in her words was too misleading.

Tallulah didn't want to make White Wolf angry, so she continued:

"We can help other infected people with what we have, and the members of the organization can focus on the truly important things. Our business is gradually developing, and we have discovered many new surprises."

"Remember the booklet you compiled? It was that small manual for infected people. According to your arrangement, it was spread out by the organization very early. I only realized later that for many ordinary infected people, it was a life-saving booklet. Before the Integration Movement went south, it earned us enough reputation. Now, members of the organization are proud to have our mark on the manual. Everyone is convinced that we are saving the future of all infected people."

"White Wolf, you may not understand what the situation is like. We have medical books to save the infected, we have enough supplies to help those in need, and we also have the most stringent armed forces managed by the Patriot General. We are already different from any other infected organization."

"On March 16, the 27th day of the implementation of the Southward Expedition, the organization received the first secret donation of funds, signed by an ordinary person in the empire. After that, we received more donations, some from infected people, some from ordinary people, and even from young students in certain places."

"Are you curious, White Wolf? The organization has received a large amount of funding so quickly, including from non-infected people. I really want you to understand everything right away and let you know my joy, but I can only tell you little by little, and I may miss a lot of things."

"White Wolf, can you give me your hand?"

Faced with Miss Dragon Girl's sudden request, Bai Lang did not react much. She was immersed in the other party's story and extended her hand nonchalantly.

Tallulah clasped their right palms together, then gently placed her left hand on the back of the other's hand, smiling as she continued speaking.

"White Wolf, after going south, I saw more people and things. In the process, I began to verify some of your previous observations and conjectures. I found that you are always right. Why can your head be filled with so many things?"

"You told me that practice is the measure of truth, so I visited the central and southern parts of the empire, cities and mountain villages. I communicated with the infected and ordinary people. In the end, I did discover the truth that was covered up by the imperial decree, proving that your speculation was correct."

"Everyone is used to thinking that the conflicts between ordinary people and infected people in the Ursus Empire are extremely intense, but in fact, this situation only exists in the core propaganda circle of the empire, that is, in some large cities, and there is almost no barrier between ordinary people at the lower level and infected people."

"Ordinary people in the lower class of Ursus, who are dying under the double exploitation of the nobles and the government, have no time to listen to the political propaganda of the empire. All their thoughts are on how to survive. In addition, these exploited people live in extremely harsh conditions and have to take risks to do high-risk jobs for bread. Their probability of contracting mineral disease is already very high. In this case, what reason do you have to hate other compatriots who are accidentally infected?"

"These lower-class people are the majority of the empire and the largest force scattered across the country. We will integrate these forces step by step. At the same time, in urban areas, some middle-class people have already recognized the error of this opposition. They may be affected by mineralogy or have read political textbooks from other countries. In short, these people are the second type of partners I plan to cooperate with. The last type is enlightened nobles like the Marquis of Carolingia."

"What about me? Which type am I?" White Wolf had already immersed himself in Tallulah's story and couldn't help but ask.

Volume 5: Chapter 39: Passing Line

Tallulah was stumped by the question. She found that according to her new theory, White Wolf was a very complex character. He seemed to be none of them, but he had a little bit of everything.

How to answer this question?

If Tallulah had more Victorian elements in her, she would probably seize the opportunity and say a series of sweet love words, but she didn't. She grew up in Ursus and her personality was more like that of an Ursus person, especially good at being straightforward.

However, people always change. Since she met White Wolf, Miss Tallulah has become more and more upright while maintaining her nature.

She thought for a while, then spoke sincerely and carefully: "I can't answer, because you are Miss White Wolf, the one and only one."
