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

Alina jumped three feet high: "Why don't you return it quickly!"

"I left compressed biscuits," Tallulah said.

Passwords and roll calls were heard in the short queue. After each detachment completed the task of the entire team, the entrance of the village fell into a brief silence.The next step is for the detachment leaders to report the results to the comrades of the General Political Commissar——

Then everyone heard a loud sneeze.

The sound clearly came from outside the queue, which was an empty barn.

The dense three-row line spread out like a wind, turning into gunmen lying down or behind cover.

Tallulah didn't hide immediately."Is anyone there?" she said aloud.

no answer.

"We know you're here. We mean no harm. Unless you need help, we'll leave right away..."

"No, don't come here! If you get close to me, you will shoot an arrow!"

Commander took over: "I can hear the sound of your teeth chattering from here! Come out, little guy, you two don't dare to light a fire, right? You two will definitely not survive tonight! There is no food left in the village! We have food here. !”

Tallulah waved her hand to signal the military workers to move their guns away, Comand nodded to her, and the two walked over slowly together.

The team members watched Tallulah, who was good at using fire spells, pick up a branch and the branch ignited into flames; Command took out a bar of chocolate from his coat pocket, tore open the package, bit off a corner, and ate the rest. Just throw it over.

So at last, Commander, who took off his coat, strode over with two lumps wrapped in the coat under his arms.

Tallulah next to him had an embarrassing expression, and the military workers who were facing him had an embarrassing expression. Even the two little guys who were stuck under their armpits poking their heads out of their coats had an embarrassing expression.

Commander said solemnly to the one with a stubborn expression: "It's good that you will never lay down your arms until you die, but your bow can't even penetrate my coat."

And to the timid one, "Smile more! Smile. To be alive is a thing to celebrate!"

Walking among the soldiers, he put down the two children wrapped in his overcoat: "If you are in your early teens, let me think about it..."

He knocked on the head of the one with blue hair: "This should be Sasha."

Then he stroked the light-haired head: "This is Ino, right?"

"how do you know?"

From the two children to Tallulah are asking.

"I know a lot!" Comand looked around, "This village is already very difficult. Let's take these two little guys with us."

So, the two little guys were carried into the carriage with a dazed look on their faces.The martial arts team members who passed by them looked at them with silly or weird smiles, and from time to time someone murmured, "The two boys are quite handsome!"

At the same time, Comander’s personal cyber system came with a murmur of complaints from his fellow travelers:

"Hey, Mephistopheles and Faust? The future is mindless and unhappy."

"You're almost done. This time, they will definitely be excellent young people with five lectures, four beauties and three loves!"

A few armed forces scouts on bicycles and pack animals accompanied the march, while most of them got into their wagons and drove up the dirt road in silence.Out of sight is the floating boat of the soldiers of the People's Federation.

Comand and Tallulah sat together on the cart, chatting with the two little guys sitting together without saying a word.

Ino asked stupidly: "Why is no one talking? It makes me flustered."

"Marching is fighting." Tallulah replied simply.

Commander chuckled: "The march of the troops is not just wandering around wherever you go. You have to stay stuck and arrive at the exact time you say you will, and you have to save your energy."

Sasha glared at Ino, and asked coldly, "What army are you? What do you do?"

Commande still laughed: "You are so young, um, in your early ten years? It must be difficult to run out and wander. Let me tell you, this team is to give you a chance to live well and influence more people. Live well."

The two children were silent.This is beyond their comprehension.

It's just that they all tried to remember it.

Sasha glanced around.The surrounding woods were dark in the night, and they were swept back quickly by the carriage. Occasionally, vague sounds came from the shoulder boxes or ears of people on the carriage, and they all responded immediately and concisely; from time to time, someone turned over. Getting out of the car or climbing into the car is neat and neat, and can even be described as chic.

The convoy of several carriages moved quickly in this silence.

Silent, but efficient.

Ino's mind is relatively simple.Tallulah got acquainted with him in a few moments.So she also clearly noticed that when Comand hummed a tune briskly, Ino cast his gaze over it all at once.

"Like singing?" Tallulah asked with a smile.

Sasha said in an almost gruff voice, "He can't sing!"

As if disturbed by the attitude of the person who has been taking care of them, Sasha added the explanation gloomyly: "His bastard mother stuffed the origin stone in his mouth. He became an infected person and scratched his vocal cords, although now it's okay , but the sound..."

Comand stretched out his hand and patted Ino's head lightly.He patted Yinuo on the shoulder again: "It doesn't matter. Our songs don't have to be afraid of being out of tune or broken, as long as they have momentum! Even someone like me who is unreliable and out of tune can sing well! Come on, write down the melody Just sing along with everyone!"

The comrades of the political commissar knocked on the car board, knocking out a light and lively melody.Then he sang aloud:

"We are all sharpshooters. Every bullet kills an enemy. We are all flying troops, even if the mountains are high and the water is deep."

The lyrics were obviously beyond the knowledge of Yinuo and Sasha, and the two boys looked at a loss.

Tallulah next to him joined in the singing:

"In the dense forest, comrades' camps are arranged everywhere, and on the high hills, there are countless good brothers of ours."

Yinuo saw the uncle cooking soldier holding a spoon in the same car grinning at him, and began to beat the iron pot with the spoon in his hand, and beat the time for the chorus.

"Without food and clothing, the enemy will come forward! There are no guns or cannons, and the enemy will build us!"

More military workers joined the ranks of the chorus, using various objects in their hands to beat the cheerful beat of the song. All kinds of sounds gathered together, like the heartbeat of some kind of giant, jubilant and powerful.

"We grew up here, and every inch of land is our own. No matter who wants to take it, we will fight him to the end!"

The melody is light and positive, and it feels positive, and...

...and full of confidence in the future.

This is what is most lacking in the snowfield, and this group of people does not lack it.

The lyrics are simple and catchy, and you can almost remember how to sing after listening to it only once.So, when Sasha came to his senses, Ino had already joined the chorus with his slightly hoarse voice.

As soon as the singing ended, Frost Star, who had chased after the big car on his bicycle, spoke.The white-haired rabbit was furious: "Voice control! As commanders, how can you take the lead in violating discipline!"

Comand nodded: "I was wrong."

Shuangxing punched the air with a punch: "You—"

"Give me a change of guard, and I'll take an extra half shift for you." Comand said again.

"……never mind!"

So Commander jumped out of the car and changed places with Frost Star.Shuangxing ran quickly and climbed onto the carriage.

Talula gave her an angry look: "What are you doing here?"

"Can't I rest?"

"You white rabbit, don't freeze the child!"

So Shuang Xing, who was humiliated, shrank to the rear of the car.

Tallulah did not let her go: "I remember you can sing lullabies?"

"My old man sang it to me... wait, you don't want me..."

"Sing it. I beg you to do me a favor." Tallulah pointed to Ino who started rubbing his eyes.

Frost Star's two rabbit ears were furry: "You!"

Amidst all the noise, the small convoy and everyone on it rushed towards dawn.

……

Spots of morning sunlight penetrating through the dense leaves fell on the child's face, and the melodious singing of the birds affected the trembling of the ears.Even with a thick blanket to resist the cold of the northern plains, the chill that creeps in still makes people shiver.

However, it is also convenient for people to escape from the warm dreamland tightly wrapped in blankets and return to the waking world as soon as possible.

The morning of camping is also part of the "daily life" of the two street children. For them who are used to sleeping in the open air, this kind of tranquility and refreshingness is undoubtedly familiar and kind.

It was just a sudden noise that brought them back to reality.

"I ran all night from the enemy-occupied area back to the swing area. Although the enemy no longer allows pickets and military police to enter here on a daily basis, we cannot relax our vigilance. This is not a stable liberated area..."

Before Commande finished speaking, the communicator with the walkie-talkie rushed over: "Political commissar! The higher-ups are calling you!"

Commander turned back. "Tell them I'll be right back—"

"The above said that the plane has been sent over!"

Just then a small dot appeared on the skyline.As soon as the military workers heard the low roar of the engine, they all raised their heads, covered their foreheads with their hands and stared.Sasha and Ino suddenly realized that even for this mysterious group of mysterious people, this thing was very novel.

The aircraft gradually enlarged from a small black spot, showing a square outline, and its tough shape gradually became apparent. It decelerated rapidly and fell vertically outside the small woods where the armed workers team rested.By this time, everyone could even see the details.

Command only had time to turn around and shout to Tallulah, "You take the team back", and hurried to the landing Valkyrie transport plane.In a few breaths, the era was crossed, from the animal-drawn car to the vertical take-off and landing aircraft.

The warriors in the side hatch are completely different from those on foot on the ground.The armed workers had handheld radios and assault rifles, as well as military coats, snow cloaks and camouflage uniforms, which were outrageously luxurious in this snowy field.But the soldiers in the cabin have completely exceeded the limits of the tundra people's imagination: carrying laser rifles on their backs and holding heavy bolt machine guns on the cabin door, and their whole bodies are wrapped in gray power armor.

As Comand jumped into the cabin, the machine gunner immediately saluted him: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel!"

"what's the situation?"

"The division chief asked you to make an emergency report! Your detachment will continue to escort the return of the integration movement."

The Valkyrie VTOL immediately took off and climbed. Fifteen minutes later, Comand saw the abrupt scenery on the snow field.

On this barren and desolate snowfield in the north of Ursus, the sun has just poked its head out from the distant horizon, casting a faint light on this troubled land.

Even though it was early in the morning, the shadows on the ground were very faint.The feeble light makes the trees here sparse and the grass sparse even in summer.Except for the settlements scattered all over the place, there is no human habitation on the vast wasteland, only the secluded silence like time stagnates.

However, the silence that seemed to have existed since the beginning of the world was finally broken.

The Valkyrie vertical take-off and landing transport plane is loaded with standard containers across the leaden sky, bringing in various supplies; under the red robe of the mechanical priest, various tools, ranging from mechanical arms to multi-functional power axes, stretch out the prefabricated parts. And standard modules are turned into military buildings and fortifications at flying speed.

Buildings composed of alloy girders, quick-drying cement, adamantine and porcelain steel armor plates and electronic equipment stand tall on the snowfield, forming a sizable town; armored vehicles carrying out combat preparations are in several vehicle bunkers on the edge of the camp. Stand by and level your rapid-fire laser cannon.

Although power armor has fully replaced the previous khaki uniforms and army green flak armor, the laser rifles that infantrymen hold tightly in their vehicles and surrounding personnel bunkers have not changed for thousands of years.

At the inspection point, the soldiers inspected their vehicles quickly and orderly with the assistance of the mechanical priests, and concise and powerful commands and shouts followed one after another.

A group of soldiers carrying basins to take a bath passed by happily, endlessly picking up handfuls or even basins of snow from the ground and sending them over. The running formation was submerged in white snow mist from beginning to end.

The golden-red double-headed eagle flag of the Alliance of Humanity—the Alliance for a Future Community of Mankind—which was transformed from the Human Empire was hunting in the sky.

PS: In fact, it was originally planned to be called "Alliance of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind"...
