Tomorrow's Ark, the journey of hardcore and ruthless people

If this is the only way, of course women will not have the slightest ups and downs.What is a pretty little girl with a stern face?She has seen a lot of big wind and big waves.But the horror started long ago when Tallulah threw out a sentence:

"Hello, Ms. Ms. Kelsey, the Eternal Life, we meet again. I remember the last time was the Shevata meeting, right?"

Memories from more than ten years ago suddenly came to life: behind the monstrous Fidia man was a little Drake girl. This strange and incongruous scene struck Kelsey, who had lived for 1 years.And that dignified, elegant and courteous young lady, it is difficult to coincide with the awe-inspiring, serious and heroic girl in front of her.

Facing Kelsey's surprised eyes, Tallulah nodded slightly: "Our integration movement told me a lot, and allowed me to say a lot to you... I have some objections to this, but this is a resolution that everyone discussed and passed , so as a member of the Reunification Movement and an executive member of the Reunification Movement Central Executive Committee, I will help you understand the situation as soon as possible."

The overly straightforward communication made Kelsey quite uncomfortable: "...Thank you."

But she doesn't like being led by the nose in the conversation: "With all due respect, do you represent the Black Snake?"

"No, although I once played the role of his successor, I don't agree with his ideas, and I have broken with him now." Tallulah replied calmly.

"The black snake originated from the suffering and poverty of Ursus." Kelsey added lightly, "It is not that simple."

"But it ran away." Tallulah replied.

Kelsey turned her head slowly: "...what?"

"He has been observing me in the form of a spirit body before. In a previous operation, he took the initiative to show up and admit failure to me, promised not to do any adverse actions against me, and took the initiative to withdraw the curse of possessing me "Talulah rubbed her temples, "Of course, Black Snake's promise is not credible, and I don't think I am reliable enough. So although the review committee's Originium skills, psychic testing and mental health investigation results show that I am completely normal, But I took the initiative to propose that I only deal with transactional work and not exercise power in strategic decision-making. Because of my previous encounter with you, the Central Executive Committee decided that I would welcome you."

"...Why did the majestic and immortal Black Snake choose to escape?"

"It may be because our army killed three Ursus emperor's inner guards and two hundred Ursas elites in that battle with one-eighth of the opponent's casualties, and used the promethium burning weapon to make them completely harmless. Got the inner guard's demon shards."

"..." Kelsey swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Your army...how holy is it?"

"The Integration Movement is a revolutionary organization dedicated to transforming this land with its own views, methods, and means." Tallulah said calmly, "A considerable number of members of this organization are infected, and a large number of leadership positions have been active. There are infected people. But not many now."

Kelsey's pupils shrank slightly, and she suddenly had a bad association: "You mean..."

"Because we all returned to being healthy people after treatment." Tallulah replied calmly.

"..."

"It's just that a small number of magicians are very resistant to leaving the identity of infected people in order to cast spells. We are discussing this issue."

"..."

"You can ask questions." Tallulah smiled. For the first time, she understood the "pretentiousness" that Comand said-this feeling of being helpless to others is really refreshing.

"Ridiculous." Kelsey replied simply, "This is even more ridiculous than killing three Ursas guards easily."

Tallulah smiled: "Actually, the situation is not as exaggerated as you think. The integration movement and its supporters have not completely overcome the ore disease problem. We just have inexhaustible special medicines."

"This surprises me even more than the fact that you have completely figured out the ore disease." Kelsey took a deep breath, "What is going on?"

Tallulah leaned forward slightly, with a mysterious expression: "Humans, not Ursas (bears), not Itra and Elafia (deer), not Ferrin (cats) and Pelo (dogs), Without any racial characteristics, as the main source of Tyrayans' genetics, they are purebred humans in the biological sense - the specific medicine is their serum."

"It's impossible!" Kelsey shouted like an electric shock.

"Indeed, we can't really draw blood from them at regular intervals." Tallula straightened her body and replied calmly, "We rely on the cloned blood produced by the bio-industry to make medicines, so we can be so luxurious. Even the samples for you They are all given one box at a time.”

"That's a container..." Kelsey rubbed her temples, her excitement level quickly returned to slightly excited, and then calmed down again in the blink of an eye, "You are in an extremely dangerous situation."

"Of course, none of us are so naive as to think that ore disease and infected people are just a technical problem at the medical level. This is a social problem." Tallulah said with a serious expression, "The integration movement, as well as the 113th Division, can change this area. The earth, no, this world is our responsibility."

"For what?" Kelsey shook his head this time, "A laboratory and a small factory on a snowy field? A group of poor peasants, guerrillas, and infected slave labor? Your first enemy is to have The army of the empire used the dividends of war to create its own prosperity—the Ursus Empire."

"Then, you can go and see for yourself." Tallulah leaned back on the chair back, "We have that ability. Oh, just in time."

Kelsey looked out the car window and saw the...

Rows of greenhouses and soilless cultivation fields, and a fleet of large crawler tractors driving on the road?

PS: The issue of US infantry is the best case to discuss modernized infantry.Because infantry, especially light infantry, is the closest to relying on people to solve problems rather than using machines to solve problems compared to other technical arms of the same period.Think about "Soldier Assault" again?

Why does not fear suffering come before not fearing death when it is said that "one is not afraid of suffering and the other is not afraid of death"?Because of things like war, it is not possible to solve everything with money and fear of death. The idea of ​​"Why should the U.S. military have money to shed blood and sweat to engage in XX" is not wrong, but it is not entirely true.Another example is the use of Basilone, VT-8, and the "Taffy-3" escort destroyer fleet in Wright Gulf to demonstrate that the U.S. military is not a young soldier who is not afraid of death, and it is not entirely correct.Influenced by individual heroism, the U.S. military is really not afraid of death when it is hot-blooded.But the fear of hardship is real, as is the general reluctance to perform high-risk tasks.However, in war, this kind of suffering that cannot be avoided but is necessary will always be indispensable.

Let me give you an example: penetration reconnaissance.This scumbag is an old problem of the US military, because it is painful and dangerous, and it really can only be done by humans.This bitterness is not willing to suffer, and the result is Ardennes and the second battle: In these two battles, the mistakes of the US military are closely related to frontier reconnaissance and hip pulling.

As a result, the U.S. military has absolute air supremacy, and has no awareness of the increase in the number of enemy troops in front of them and the obvious signs of attack (such as clearing their own minefields, the appearance of engineering equipment, and a significant increase in serial numbers, etc.), which eventually led to serious consequences in history. .

Give me a little more beauty: In the second battle, the U.S. military ran farther than Ye Zhichao back then...

Chapter 10 The New World

The road surface on which several caterpillar snow transport vehicles are driving has begun to turn into a hardened road surface, and rows of prefabricated modular houses can be seen far away.Tallulah became visibly excited and started talking:

"The work of combining villages and villages has been very successful! This is the most important method for us to establish a rural grassroots system in the Northwest Tundra, absorbing as many farmers as possible. Thanks to the harsh living environment of the Northwest Tundra, as long as we can solve the problem of survival Generally speaking, we will not encounter too much resistance in absorbing the population in the northwestern tundra. We are the small village Jicun Bingtun with the most serious organizational survival crisis. Now this is a standard large market town, with 200 to 300 households ..."

Kelsey shook her head: "Please don't waste time on insignificant things. I need to meet your leaders as soon as possible, and those things that can change the world."

"It doesn't matter?!" Tallula widened her eyes, and then showed a dumbfounded smile, "Waste of time? Ah, you actually said that grassroots work is a waste of time... okay."

Kelsey glanced at Tallulah indifferently and said nothing.

When the vehicle stopped, Tallulah opened the door and got out of the car. She saluted the village head and garrison platoon leader who came up, "Hello."

The platoon leader seemed very excited: "Comrade leader, welcome to the town of Simbirsk!"

The village elder was very calm: "Hello, chief, long time no see."

The atmosphere is friendly and the attitude is cordial.Until the two left, Tallulah was still smiling.But when she looked back and saw Kelsey who had just gotten out of the car with a slumped face, she could only sigh with a grimace.

"Your popularity is very good." Kelsey thought for a while, trying to ease the blunt atmosphere.

"If this doesn't work, then don't do anything." Tallulah smiled, "The Black Snake put me on the line, and I don't even trust myself. Since it's not suitable for standing, it can determine the final outcome and the lives of comrades." The most suitable position is to act as a cohesive, morale-inspiring... idol."

Kelsey nodded slightly: "Is that so? Facing the future with little future, you are very optimistic."

"The one with a bleak future is me personally. I firmly believe that the future of the Integration Movement, the infected, and even this land is bright." Tallulah waved her hand, "Let's continue the previous topic, what do you think this village is in military terms? ?”

Kelsey was stunned, let go of his eyes, and looked at the barbed wire surrounding the entire village outside the row of assembled houses, the watchtower and the fortifications on the edge of the town, as well as the army barracks and the tall erected buildings not far away. communication antenna.

Tallulah added: "These villages and towns were merged from small villages, or developed from larger villages with better geographical and transportation conditions. No matter which one is, we have established political institutions with armed work teams , Organize the militia, and at the same time station a regular army ranging from a platoon to a company.

"In addition to the settlement, the market town will also become a fortress, a stronghold for the integration movement to radiate influence to the northwest tundra. The defense force here is extremely strong against the armed forces and regional bandits below the Ursus local garrison, and can also communicate through radio Report the enemy's situation. Each market town can thus control a large area around it, and the integrated movement forces that meet the Ursus forces and eliminate bandits can also rely on these villages to store food, ammunition, weapons and equipment, and obtain support from militias and migrant workers. This seemingly innocuous small town , is the cornerstone of our control of the northwest tundra. Can this be said to be irrelevant?"

Kelsey nodded slightly and continued to observe this small market town.

In terms of the level of technology and living standards contained in this village, there are countless places on the entire land that are better than here.But this place is indeed a different place, and the more you observe carefully, the stronger this feeling becomes.It was very different from anywhere she had been.

—the dynamism, the incomparable dynamism of the village and its people.

Middle-aged and elderly people seem to be very satisfied with the military green cotton coats that look like sports uniforms; many young people are very happy because they are wearing jeans and short windbreakers.Not only clothes, but they are willing to spend a long time outdoors in winter in the northwest tundra, and they certainly don’t have to worry about food and fuel anymore, so they work hard against the cold wind and snowflakes—one extra day of work can get an extra day’s salary .

Thinking about it, Kelsey walked near the largest building complex in the center of the village - the post office, bank, clinic workplace and canteen with the cooperative brand.The first thing she entered was the small clinic with a red cross painted on the door.

The little girl who had recently graduated from the village doctor training class was a little scared, because this strange woman with an outstanding temperament and a stern expression came in to look at the equipment and stockpiles of medicines, and then began to ask questions that were more difficult than her graduation exam.After a few silly answers, the woman went out again.

"Junior doctors who were trained in the short-term training class for three months." Tallulah said to Kelsey, who turned around and came out with a still expressionless face. "Half of the way to deal with Originium disease is mindless injection of serum, and the ability level is limited to the most common ones. Disease. You don’t expect all of them to be able to compare with you in professional abilities, do you?”

"Of course not. How are these doctors attached?" Kelsey asked casually.

"The first training session provided sanitation teams to 70.00% of the market towns. The second training session is also drawing to a close."

"It can be popularized to this extent..." Kelsey pondered for a moment, and soon asked Tallulah many questions.From the military-civilian mixed nature of the market town to the business scope of post offices, banks, and cooperatives, and finally even asked for a few banknotes issued by the integration movement from Tallulah, and walked into the commissary of the cooperative.

There are many things, such as snacks, stationery and toys for children, tobacco and alcohol for adults, non-staple food seasonings and various agricultural tools for the family, and even clothes and hunting crossbows... In short, almost all the necessities needed for life are available Get it here.For the northwest tundra, this ordinary thing is too rich; according to the price marked above and the income level of local farmers indicated by Talula, it is too cheap.

But it’s not like a pretentious place: the plastic-packaged cured meats just bought left vacancies on the shelves, the whole package of unsealed homework books was deflated, and the people who just came in and out left a lot of muddy footprints on the clean floor , a soldier in uniform is talking to a new customer with a mop on...

Wait, that soldier is a Sakaz? !

Kelsey watched in astonishment as the Sarkaz people, who were always hated and feared in this land, chatted happily with the Ursas villagers.

"Hey guy, the chief is here... By the way, it's almost time for school to leave. Why are you still here?" The Sarkaz fighter shut up and stood at attention to salute Tallulah, and then babbled to rush people away. Busy at work, he took out a roast chicken from the freezer, picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board and cut it into pieces, wrapped it in oiled paper, and handed it to the old Usas man, "This is your roast chicken, braised pork head meat , and peanuts, are you ready?"

"It's all set, it's all set." The smiling old man walked away leisurely carrying his things.The Sarkaz fighter behind the counter clicked to attention and saluted again with a very excited expression: "Hello, Chief!"

Tallula returned the salute again, and replied solemnly: "It's nothing, just sit down."

Kelsey walked around silently, and walked out the door without buying anything.Tallulah followed behind and heard Kelsey ask: "This 'rural cooperative' was almost established by the integration movement, but as individuals, your members still spend money here to buy things?"

Tallulah smiled: "Let me put it this way, the countries of Terra are still discussing the gold and silver standard; the economic construction on the northwest tundra is based on physical mortgages, relying on the multiplier effect to issue credit currency. I want to tell you , this Northwest tundra, which everyone sees as a lawless place, is now in the hands of the integration movement, a political entity with government, finance, law, and national defense."

"You must have invested a lot of resources in the construction of this place." Kelsey said calmly, "and most of them are not from Terra. I think, street lamps, light bulbs and electric stoves, or the whole village except Everything other than people is provided by those people.”

"Of course, we worked hard, and they made up for everything we didn't have." A cold female voice came from the side.

Kelsey turned around and saw Froststar wearing snow camouflage, powered exoskeleton and combat gear under a white cloak, with an assault rifle on his shoulder and a long knife on his waist.Frost Star nodded to her blankly, then turned to salute Tallulah: "Comrade leader, the snow monster is reporting!"

Behind them were soldiers who were forming a team next to the transport vehicles. They were well-equipped, well-trained, and well-coordinated, and they formed three rows in the blink of an eye.

"Okay." Tallulah laughed, "Well... let's continue."

Frost Star nodded, and then continued to say to Kelsey: "This is just a joke among us, but they really make us feel emotional. They have overwhelming wealth and powerful power that cannot be compared with ghosts and gods, and even use their own blood to heal The 'miracle' of mineral sickness, however, declares to us without hesitation that there is no 'omniscient and omnipotent' in the world, and tells us how the 'miracle' is achieved."

"...It's an interesting statement." The silent Kelsey finally replied.

"You don't seem to like talking very much."

"Considering my current situation, keeping silent is undoubtedly an option with a comparative advantage." Kelsey replied lightly.

"...Our task is to take you to meet them. Let's go quickly." Frost Star failed to spy on the information, so he finally had to say this.

The snowmobile fleet is back on the road, leaving the small market town behind.Another long, unchanging snow scene, nothing worth mentioning except passing a few market towns - and no parking in between.

Then, even at high speeds, in a snowmobile filled with engine hum and road bumps, one feels the shift.

The trembling became more intense.

Almost every car quietly violated discipline and rolled down the windows.Some people always look away from the warning area they are in charge of, and look at the gloomy mountains in the distance—it is the safest green area anyway...

No, the point is not that.

That's not mountains.

A row of huge square objects cast a huge shadow, pulling the snow-covered plain straight into the night.

That's the major blocks that the mobile city hasn't connected yet.

The deafening roar of the plasma reactor was offset by the perfect protection and sound insulation of the engine area, but the terrifying roar and bumps were transmitted to the ground when it was activated, and spread to the entire snowfield, evoking people's fear of giants—and knowing this The pride when the power is in one's own hands.

Fiery air jets out from the giant track groups of each chassis, and the violent friction between metal and metal is like thunder, and the loud thunder echoes around the mobile city blocks.The siren sounded from the horn like the cry of a giant when it was just born.

Huge crawlers several stories high kicked up dust in all directions.The long queue moved slowly.The speed is very slow, as slow as when a seriously ill bedridden patient finally manages to get off the ground.

Kelsey looked at this unimaginable scene: the most shining technological achievement of Terra civilization; it can only be obtained by excavating relics or "sacred and long" manufacturing rituals; On the desolate wilderness.

"——It's only a matter of time before the first mobile city is built." Tallulah's calm voice was full of pride. "It's a bit troublesome not to have a core city block. We still have to build it ourselves; but there are always other places in the snowfield. Various blocks that were forced to be abandoned when the mobile city moved. With a little work, we have our own first mobile city. What do you think?"

"..."

Kelsey ended up saying nothing.
