Old Hunter of Tomorrow’s Ark

However, compared to the two thoughtful girls, Skadi, who had been looking at them curiously from the very beginning, accurately discovered a small note written in Ursasi language under the hard drive.

The note appeared to have been torn from a notepad impromptu, the handwriting on it was hasty and messy, and there were even a few drops of blood on it. .

"We trapped it! We trapped him! Don't let more people see this note, don't try to parse that hard drive, you can't escape, but don't let more people see, the more people See, more and more people die! Trapped them on the snow field! Trapped there forever!"

call--

Flames rose from Gao Qi's fingertips, burning the note instantly before Tallulah and Frost Star came up to watch.

"Mr. Gao Qi, do you have the same Originium skill as me...how did that note—"

Before Talula was about to ask, Gao Qi stretched out his index finger and put it in front of her lips.

"Shhh - I will find a way to tell the threat we face in another way, but the less people know about the contents of this note, the better."

Turning his gaze back to the mobile hard drive, a few seconds ago, Gao Qi thought it was just an ordinary electronic product, but now, Gao Qi heard a calling voice from there.

[I'm here-I'm here-let me out-it's cold in here-]

The voice was so alluring, it seemed to be urging Gao Qi to release him and embrace him for warmth.

Gao Qi turned his head and looked at Skadi, and the little killer whale's expression became serious, and he nodded seriously.

Obviously, they all heard the voice.

"Meme pollution, it's killing me, I hate this kind of ghost stuff the most."

Snapped-

[Miss Puppet, Your Lady Queen, seal this thing up, it won’t make waves in my dreams. 】

Without hesitation, Gao Qi took the hard drive from Tallulah's hand, and sent it directly into the dream like a magic trick.

He now knows why Kelsey said that what exists in the north, called "demons", will become stronger because of knowledge.

Moreover, even if Kelsey, Ursas and Sami were officially aware of the existence of this "thing", they sealed up almost all knowledge and news about it.

"Evil demons", even if they are just shadows in the material world - I am afraid they can spread continuously through information as a medium!

"Gao Qi, what the **** are you doing, return the hard drive, there may be some important secrets in it—"

Seeing Gao Qi's movements, Frost Star immediately wanted to stop him, but soon, Tallulah's slender hands held onto his shoulders and calmed him down.

"...Listen to Mr. Gao Qi. Recently, we have encountered too many strange things, haven't we? Maybe we really need professional help."

Liu Mei frowned, and Tallulah let out a breath slowly.

Just now, for some reason, when facing that hard drive, her heartbeat began to speed up suddenly, as if she had encountered something—something worthy of a challenge.

Reminiscent of the warnings Frost Star’s father once gave him, the recent abnormal mobilization of the Ursus army, the disappearance incidents reported to him by villagers in many nearby villages, and Magellan, who is usually cheerful and sincere, hesitates when he mentions certain issues From my appearance, Tallulah vaguely felt that behind all this, there are inextricably linked.

Moreover, for some reason, seeing the black-haired man she just met in front of her, Tallulah subconsciously felt... a little kind.

"No matter what, it is not advisable to stay near the mine for a long time. Mr. Gao Qi and Miss Skadi, please allow me to extend an invitation to take the two of you to the station of the integration movement—we can talk slowly."

Chong Gaoqi stretched out his hand, Talula flicked the tail of the dragon behind him, and Chong Gaoqi showed a gentle smile.

"Then it's better to be obedient than to be respectful. To be honest, Titi and I also want to find a bed to rest-we drove from Kazdale for a whole week."

Gao Qi shrugged, and Tallulah held hands together.

Being able to meet the integration movement really made him feel that this trip to Ursus has become much more interesting.

Hum-boom.

At this moment, there was a heavy impact sound outside the carriage, as if a truck was overturned by Titi, which was even louder than the impact of the killer whale falling from the sky just now.

"Hmph, it's up to you, anyway, the integration movement has nothing to do with us."

And Frost Star, before Gao Qi and Skadi could react, immediately rolled his eyes and walked quickly outside the carriage. .

"Dad, I told you if you're bouncing around in this broken power armor, you're going to lose sleep with arthritis pain sooner or later."

And behind her, Gao Qi and Skadi also followed, and saw the stalwart figure as high as a mountain.

Gao Qi could feel that the strength of the little killer whale's grip on his palm increased suddenly.

After a long interval, Skadi found a worthy opponent.

On the other side, Tallulah nodded towards the figure as solid as a city wall holding a giant shield and a halberd in the distance.

"Let's go, it's not too far from our nearest stronghold. First of all, Mr. Gao Qi, I will introduce you to Mr. Patriot."

———

Update it quickly, I want to draw a card, I want to draw a card! !

22. Tower of Babel, greetings to you.

Although in the end, the operation of the integration movement encountered some small episodes, but generally speaking, it was a successful rescue operation.

Another mine was liberated, and hundreds of miners were freed from their lives of slavery—the youngest of them were still in their infancy, and the oldest Sarkaz was over a hundred years old, from Kaz Dale was captured.

Faced with the proposal of the leader of Drake, many people accepted the help of the integration movement, and decided to settle down in this group that at least seemed to have a certain ability to protect themselves, or took up arms to vent their hatred for Ursus. Heart.

Of course, many people left here. They just wanted to leave this ghostly place quickly, go to the warm and rich south, or leave Ursas directly, and Tallulah naturally didn't stop them.

In the end, with a loud bang, the entrance of this mine was completely blocked by explosives. Although there are still thousands of such human-eating origin stone mines on the land of Ursas, at least one of them will be missing here today. .

And as usual, Tallulah decided to take as many materials as possible—food, clothing, origin stones, weapons, all of which are the most precious things in the Northern Plains.

Freight vehicles, including military vehicles, were also seized trophies. Although the miners and the infected fighters of the integration movement were reluctant, the guerrillas who arrived belatedly held a parade for those fighters who died at the hands of unknown attackers. short funerals - they honor real soldiers

Then, they returned in the direction of the hidden camp. The weak miners were placed in several vehicles, and the soldiers trudged through the snow.

However, among them, there was a white-haired girl who was particularly conspicuous.

"Talulah—if my mind wasn't driven crazy by that ghost thing just now, it should be an Originium power generation module. I read it from a book, and the total weight is about a hundred tons... She was pulling it by herself. with?"

Walking in the middle of the line, Shuang Xing looked at the rear of the line. The unit was larger than several armored vehicles combined. Frost Xing couldn't help shaking his ears on the top of his head.

The generator set is not terrible, but what is scary is that in front of the unit, a petite white-haired girl is happily pulling the unit forward, and there is neither a trailer nor help from the side—Skadi is now acting happily .

"Ha, actually, Mr. Gao Qi is still helping, cleaning up the upturned soil-I was going to blow up this thing just now, but they came to ask me if I needed this thing, I nodded, and they really pushed the blast furnace coming."

On the side, Tallulah couldn't help trembling a few times at the corner of her mouth when she talked about this matter, showing a somewhat helpless smile.

"But, it's a good thing, isn't it?"

Although Terra's origin stone technology is extremely advanced, the convenience of this technology cannot be enjoyed by the people at the bottom, especially in rural areas.

The use of electrical appliances requires both power pipelines and generator sets, which is almost impossible for backward areas.

In most rural areas, there can be two or three expensive small generators in a village, or they simply use "Origin Stone Energy"-that is, directly plug the Origin Stone into electrical appliances as batteries. This was done decades ago The way of using it has a lot of source stone radiation.

The integration movement and the guerrillas are hidden in the snowy mountain villages. Whether it is weapon maintenance or vehicle power supply, electricity is needed, but without a special industrial tow truck, it is impossible to move such a heavy thing, and it can only be destroyed every time with pain.

And just now, when Tallulah was about to destroy it, Gao Qi walked out with an excited Skadi. Under Tallulah's stunned, he didn't even need to add wheels, and directly dragged the entire power generation system away out - and can trot all the way!

"...Well, I originally thought that the black mist just now was enough to surprise me, but now I feel like my world view is about to shatter."

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Shuangxing sighed softly, and looked at the huge figure over three meters tall beside him.

"Dad, how far is your strength compared to Skadi's?"

This is a giant whose whole body is covered with thick metal armor. The armor on the body is twice as thick as that of the shield guard. If ordinary humans wear this suit, they will probably be crushed to pieces.

However, the giant was still walking slowly in the snow, carrying his shield and halberd on his back, and walking very powerfully.

His face is hidden under the metal mask, and the twisted pine-like horns on the top of his head are also wrapped in alloy. It is impossible to tell which race he belongs to, and it even makes people suspect that his face has been cast together with the mask. .

However, except for Frost Star who has no respect in his tone, when anyone sees him, they will involuntarily show a trace of respect and admiration.

This tall giant was once the shield of Ursus, the battle hero of Ursus.

As a member of the Foreign Legion, he once slaughtered steam knights, defeated the Pegasus with Silver Spears, fought against the Voice of the Queen, and even filled the grave of the Gaul Empire with his own hands.

The medals he has earned are enough to hang on his chest, and his military rank has reached the highest and most unique rank of the Foreign Legion-Captain.

All Ursus warriors feel an unspeakable sense of security when he is present, and he is the symbol of victory.

But now, he is the most feared and dreaded existence of Ursus soldiers.

His name is Bojocasti, or rather—patriot.

"...You overestimate me, Yelena, I'm just a Wendigo, and compared to hers, my strength is far from enough."

From the helmet full of rust and sword marks, came an old and hoarse voice. The ore disease was gradually destroying the Sarkaz's vocal cords, but compared to his tenacious vitality, this disease was nothing. .

"However, if we are hostile to her, then we don't know who will win and who will lose—you can notice that she is very interested in me and looks forward to fighting me."

In normal times, Patriot said much less than Frost Star, but today, he rarely said a few more words.

A few decades younger, the Patriots would have taken up this obvious challenge with gusto, but now -- he's old.

For the Sarkaz, aging is not reflected in the body, but in the mind.

"And, compared to her, that man named Gao Qi is more threatening to me."

Turning around and looking at Tallulah aside, the holes in the Patriot's mask revealed a faint red light.

"I don't intend to interfere with the decision to integrate the movement, but in a battle, it is a risky decision to easily trust two unidentified strong men."

When she heard her most respected patriot give some advice in a calm tone, Tallulah immediately scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.

"Ah, well... After all, no one else knew about Magellan, so I believed it."

"Then what can I do, I came up without saying a word and led people to surround him, but Big Bear is still fainting now... Okay, Dad, let's get down to business, don't act like an old pedant all day long."

However, compared to Tallulah who respected the patriots, his adopted daughter Frost Star was not so serious, but reached out and knocked on his metal armor.

"Dad, there is no one else around. How did those Ursus soldiers die? You didn't say anything just now. They are as dangerous as that Gao Qi?"

Just this time, Frost Star had let the members of the snow monster team drive away the other fighters around, and now there are only three people left.

The patriot's slow walking motion paused for a moment, and then returned to normal, but the momentum of the whole person suddenly lifted.

"...Did you make contact with them? Visually? Fight? Or were you injured?"

It is rare for a patriot who is usually as calm as a mountain to have a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"No, Mr. Patriot, we didn't find ourselves fighting anything the whole time, and before that, Mr. Gaucher and Miss Skadi, they were driven back by some kind of magic—I think, Mr. Gauchy. Should know more."

Shaking her head, Talula turned around and waved to Gao Qi at the back of the team.

"We found a mobile hard drive and a note protected by the Ursas messenger from the carriage, but Mr. Gao Qi burned the note and took away the hard drive, saying that he is an expert in this field, so let's not ask too much , we don't know either..."

"He's doing the right thing, and he's definitely an expert at it."

After hearing this, the Patriot was suddenly relieved.

"I need to have a chat with this Mr. Gauchy, and what you saw...you will know soon."

Hearing this, Shuangxing immediately shook his big ears left and right with some displeasure.

"Eh? What kind of riddle man, Dad, you seldom hide your words—well, well, I know you must have your own ideas, I'll go see if the bears are awake..."

Soon, behind the three of them, there was a sound of stepping on the snow. Shuang Xing, who knew that Gao Qi was coming, couldn't help curling his lips and walked forward quickly.

"Hello, this...Mr. Patriot? I hope you don't mind Skadi's eyes on you. She is really eager for an evenly matched opponent—of course, if you can compete with her later, then I will try again." It couldn't be better."

Looking at the iron-tower-like man in front of him and Tallulah beside him, Gao Qi showed an embarrassed smile.

During this period of time, besides helping the integration movement to carry supplies, another thing Gao Qi was doing was to appease Skadi and let her be patient a little bit.

However, to be honest, facing Sarkaz in front of him, even Gao Qi wanted to compete with him.

This Sarkaz, strong, very strong.

Among Gao Qi's strong men who are not superior, only the old Pegasus from Linguang's family can be like this patriot. very strong.

Of course, as one of the world's top combat forces, what the Patriots have done is also worthy of the title "top".

As a Sarkaz, "young and vigorous", he left Kazdel many years ago. Under the call of the former emperor Ursus, he galloped on the battlefield and witnessed the prosperity of this country.

Facing the current decaying empire, the Patriot naturally couldn't bear it. He left the country and began to fight for Ursus in his heart.

Although he didn't agree with Tallulah at first, he was still moved by the young revolutionary and fought for her wholeheartedly.

However, things backfired, and Tallulah's mind was finally distorted by the black snake's plot, and the Patriots once again fell into despair.

Although his strength was feared by the black snake, the patriot gave up resistance and correction so that the last banner of the infected would not fall. In the battle with Rhodes Island, he learned that his daughter Frost Star was dead, and chose While standing, he was killed by the little rabbit who inherited the power of the devil, ending his tragic life.

And—as a boss, the Patriots put enough pressure on the ex-doctor Gao Qi. Titi, who landed on him, only scraped his body, and was poked four times in a row with his backhand. Who could stand it!

However, that is all in the future.
