The Riddler Get Out of Terra

She can rarely drink liquid water droplets. Water at room temperature or even low temperature can even burn her mucous membranes if it enters Shuangxing's mouth. White Rabbit has only one drinking experience after being rescued by her father:

Swallow ice and snow.

As the infection symptoms intensified and the pain in the body became more and more difficult to deal with, Shuangxing, who could not sleep well, found a new way to drink water:

She would mix extremely high-alcohol spirits and sugar cubes, and finally freeze them into round sugar balls. When she was sick, swallowing this hot creation was a rare rest for Frost Star.

But now, even though every finger is surrounded by Tartarus, and there is obviously no ice, snow or freezing air in the house, and there is even a fire burning in the fireplace of the wooden house, Frost Star actually only feels warm, without any discomfort!

Her health was surprisingly good, but the sting caused by the infection kept her unable to sleep for many years after losing the sugar balls. In many cases, the length of sleep depends on how long the number of sugar balls swallowed by Shuangxing can make her sleepy.

But now, obviously waking up from the drowsy dream, Shuangxing no longer feels the chill and pain that has been haunting her since she woke up. White Rabbit lies comfortably on the soft down mattress, intoxicated by the normal feeling. in the senses.

"I...you..."

Shuangxing raised her hands tremblingly, watching her pale palms being clasped by Tartarus's ruddy palms. His skin was so tender that Shuangxing even felt that as long as she added a little more force, she could remove the red palms. The dragon's slender fingers were all pinched off.

But such a slender and soft little palm was held by Frost Star, who would freeze others if he touched it. It showed no symptoms of tissue necrosis. Instead, it was like an elegant orchid, caught in the palm of Frost Star.

"Let me tell you first, I am a man."

Seeing that White Rabbit was not paying attention, and even started to use his fingers to clasp his hands behind his back, Qiao Lun raised the corner of his mouth and clarified in a playful way.

"For me, it's no longer time to care about the differences between men and women."

Shuangxing moved his fingers repeatedly with almost emotion, feeling the pulsation of Tartarus's flesh through the contact between flesh and flesh. His skin was really crystal clear, and some thin blood vessels spread out in the knuckles of his palms with Shuangxing's movements. scary.

Qiao Lun didn't say anything, he just watched Frost Star playing with his fingers like he was caring for a baby. White Rabbit couldn't touch it enough, and he just stayed in the warm wooden house without saying a word but with great interest.

After a long while, Shuangxing let go of Qiao Lun's hand. She covered her eyes with her arms still wrapped in heavy clothes. She was silent for a long time. When Qiao Lun even began to guess whether there would be crystal tears running down her cheeks, Bai Bai The rabbit's voice of relief sounded:

"Thank you."

Froststar said softly.

"you are welcome."

Qiao Lun looked at her again, only to find that the cold air began to hover around Shuangxing's body again, so he reached out again and grabbed Custer's hand on the bedside. Immediately, the cold air that had gone and returned disappeared again. In the cabin.

"I guess you must want to ask where the Yeti team is."

Qiao Lun said while shaking hands to continue the circulation of spiritual energy in Frost Star's body, imitating White Rabbit's Origin Stone technique to activate the structure.

"Yang Ke followed

Following Savile to comfort the children, the underage brats in your team also followed. Ye Weier went to the women's team to watch them repair clothes and collect various materials - she is quite strong, she can do it alone Lift an entire fir tree. "

"Big Bear took the others to the underground planting center, where they started working with the farmers. Some people wanted to go into the mines to see what the working environment of infected miners is like now, and they planned to sneak into the mines."

"If the miners hadn't discovered that he was lost and were walking around in the mines extending in all directions to get him out, I would have had to wait until dinner to find him."

"I have to say, your Yeti team is really lively."

Red Dragon introduced the whereabouts of the members of the Snow Monster Team one by one. He spoke in a very orderly manner and did not hide anything. Even secrets such as the underground planting base that cannot be easily disclosed to others were clearly explained. I don’t know if he was confident in the Snow Monster Team. No information will be leaked, or in just a short moment, he can end all mistakes.

Froststar looked at Tartarus' enthusiastic introduction. Although he was still a little wary, facing the red dragon's candid eyes, the white rabbit still believed [-]% of it.

Tartarus smiled:

"Finally, hello, Froststar, welcome you and the Yeti Team to Mine Base No. 36. On behalf of the 'integration' of the Ursus civilian armed entities, I welcome you who have the same ambitions to visit us."

The window opened at some point, and Shuangxing glanced lightly, and the hot and joyful scene stayed in her eyes.

Chapter 68 Welcome to Base 36

Frost Star forced her body to stand up, but her body was frighteningly weak after being separated from the cold. White Rabbit straightened her back and rolled several times, and her weak muscles naturally refused her request.

It was Qiao Lun who didn't want to ask for help when he saw her blushing. Finally, he took Shuangxing's hand and helped her up little by little. He took White Rabbit to the window to take a look at the scene outside.

——Tartarus did not lie.

This is the Ursus tundra. Spring, summer, autumn and winter here are only distinguished by cold, somewhat cold, cold, and freezing to death. The ice and snow do not melt all year round, and crop production is scarce.

Only on the border, as long as it is close to the south, the ice melts and the snow melts, everything revives, the soil is fertile and the crops are luxuriant, and there are many rare scenes in Ursus.

The mine is a special place. The only people who need cotton clothes here are the guards. They are the people defined by the Ursus Empire and can apply for the delivery of supplies from above.

As for the infected people who work hard in the mines and lose their entire lives?They are livestock, they are sores, they are a cancer on the land of Ursus, and no one will give them any comfort.

The guards wanted to kill the infected directly to keep the number updated. How could they give survival supplies to this group of ants who were mining in a haphazard manner?

Therefore, there are no miners in thick and warm clothes in all the mines, and there is no lively and cheerful working environment - just seeing these infected people in unusually thick clothes, Frost Star knows that this place is not Ursus. Mine.

But where did these cotton-padded clothes come from?Where have the original guards gone?How did Tartarus hide it?here……

Seeing the prosperous scene in front of him, Frost Star felt relieved in his heart, but doubts were like the north wind when winter was approaching in the snowfield. Once it started, it would spread throughout the winter, freezing the Ursus people from body to heart beyond recognition.

A call came from the distance, and militiamen wearing mine guard uniforms trotted over from the outside world. Shuangxing subconsciously thought that they were the original mine guards, but found that after talking to the person in charge, this group of more than ten "guards" They quickly took off their coats, and on many of their naked bodies, black demonic crystals spread uncontrollably in their flesh and blood.

them……?

"They are all infected. They were originally young men with a lot of strength in the miners. After being inspected by the person in charge, they were recommended to join the base militia. They are responsible for internal trials and punishments and external exploration. In order to distinguish their responsibilities, they will change picket positions internally. Team coat.”

Qiao Lun, who could easily see through Frost Star's thoughts, explained while continuously inertizing the Source Stone crystals that White Rabbit had repeatedly resisted through the body connection.

This Custer girl, who is probably in her 20s, has lived in the frozen tundra for too long. The only people she can communicate with in the vast and uninhabited land are the Patriots' Shield Guards and her companions from the Yeti Squad. Faced with these two, she There is no need to hide your inner thoughts at all.

But this also makes it difficult for Shuangxing to conceal the strong emotions deep inside when facing strangers.

——Although he was hiding it, Qiao, who had modified Ines's Origin Stone skills to the point of "light in the eye" that even she herself didn't recognize, could still see through the strong emotions deep in the girl's heart.

In order to get an overall assessment of the Ursus army, Qiao Lun decided that it would be better to eliminate the misunderstanding as soon as possible - the Ursus people are not from the Yan country, and people are misunderstood in the fog. The routine of clearing up the past suspicions through on-the-ground contact is very effective. micro.

"Your cotton clothes?"

"As I introduced to you, 'Welcome to Base No. 36', the full name of this base is 'Usas Infected Base - Mine Type - No. 36'. Outside of it, there are Many bases are being established and prepared.”

Qiao Lun stretched out a slender finger as white as jade, pointed at their clothes in a gesture not to be seen by the people who were still busy outside, and said quietly:

"Some of the clothes were obtained by killing the pickets, and there was one

Some of them were captured from the guarded warehouses when the mines were captured, but the most were produced in industrial bases that could easily produce preliminary processed products. "

Qiao Lun carefully supported Shuangxing and looked back. It turned out that there was a soft quilt on the bed where she lay unconscious. She didn't know whose room it belonged to. From the bed to the simple furnishings, everything was spotless. The quilts were folded neatly, like neat ice cubes cut out of a wine glass.

Shuangxing felt a little guilty: because she had to accommodate her, the quilt was thrown at the corner of the bed, and two dirty mud footprints were clearly stuck on it. It was obvious that she had stepped on it in the snow for an unknown amount of time. The soles of his shoes were kicked out.

"Well, there are even quilts here. Unfortunately, the industrial base has just been established and is still in the ascendant. It can only produce some less sophisticated daily necessities. Weapons and various types of medicines can almost only be purchased from other places."

Qiao Lun was still explaining, pointing to various kinds of knitwear, and showing Shuangxing to understand the specific strength of the Ursus Liberation Organization's "integration" - the girl was indeed attracted by his narrative, and the brilliance in her eyes could not be concealed:

The Patriot never thought about building a base, nor did he know how to build multiple shelters amid the constant surveillance of Ursus and the never-ending wind and snow of the tundra. He just tried his best to attack the mines and rescue the infected. Or, take them away.

Some of these people chose to take out Ursus and flee the world, while others joined their team with hatred for Ursus and sympathy for those in the same situation, attacking the mines together to rescue the infected compatriots.

——But no one has thought about organizing and establishing a base in Ursus, so that the soldiers can have food, clothing, clothing, shelter in the wilderness, and the power of life can be cultivated in the lonely ice and snow.

Even if Tartarus didn't say anything, Frost Star knew that this man was by no means a liar with white teeth and empty words, but a big shot who had already taken action to solve the problem of infected people.

"Drugs?" She asked almost in disbelief: "Does the outside world already have drugs to treat infected people? Your base is full of infected people who have been rescued by you?"

"That kind of medicine doesn't exist." The smile on Qiao Lun's face disappeared, and he said with a regret that would surprise the entire members of Base 36:

"In Terra, the most powerful source-stone medicine is the source-stone disease inhibitor. As far as I know, they are undergoing clinical trials in Kazdaele's laboratory, but the effect is not very good, and they have been banned by the supervisor many times. Go back and do it again.”

"Victorians chose to dump infected people into specific communities so that factory owners could hire these people at a low price to usurp profits. As for Colombia,"

Red Dragon sneered, with an undisguised sarcasm on his face: "Those companies know better than anyone about using analgesics as treatment drugs to trick infected people into doing tasks with extremely high mortality rates."

He shook his head:

"On the contrary, I heard that there are some clues in Syracuse, but I don't know what happened there. The Sicilian Godmother suddenly stopped being active, and the Lupus of Syracuse also closed their country. It seemed that something big was going on there - since then, I Haven’t heard anything more about the rumor.”

Chapter 69 The Yeti Team Blended In

Qiao Lun originally thought that Shuangxing would be disappointed when he heard such news, and even despaired because there was no way to treat the infected until now, but he did not expect that Custer's first reaction when he heard the news... was gratitude.

"Thank you."

Shuangxing clenched his hand tightly. Even if the activity of the Origin Stone was reduced, the palm's body temperature was much lower than that of a normal human being. At this moment, it was continuously exchanging pulses with Qiao Lun. Blood burst out from the heart, and the pulses were transmitted throughout the body. It was obvious that Qiao Lun's body temperature was frightening. Lun always felt that he could touch Shuangxing's hot heart through their intertwined fingers.

"Thank you for making so many efforts for the infected. It's hard for me to lead my companions wandering in the tundra. You are actually able to walk half of the continent of Terra for the infected - this is something that my father has never recalled in his life. A distance that can be traveled.”

"Thank you for your willingness to do something for the infected. Thank you for rescuing the infected in the tundra. Thank you for allowing them to eat and wear cotton-padded clothes."

"..."

Qiao Lun didn't know what to say.

But after all, he is no longer the slightly autistic college student he was before time travel. When he became an unknown mixed-blood demon and escaped from death in the smoldering civil war in Kazdale, Qiao was already able to face this kind of saying no with ease. Situation of speaking:

"Aren't you worried that I will use you? Aren't you worried that I am collecting information about the infected in order to get you to die for me? Aren't you worried that Ursus will soon gather troops to directly eliminate the infected guerrillas?"

——He chose to continue the topic with sharp rhetorical questions.

"In order to trap infected people and carry out a major rebellion?"

Shuangxing was amused by Qiao Lun's casual excuse. White Rabbit's handsome face was modified to look warm, and the curve of the corners of his mouth continued to widen despite being tolerated.

Well, it can be seen that he is a guy who will not easily fall into the language trap.

Qiao Lun was also amused by his indiscriminate change of topic. The two of them laughed for a while, sensing that the Origin Stone in Shuangxing's body had finally passed the activation period that had lingered since awakening, and began to enter the incubation period of ordinary ore disease patients. , the red dragon released his hands, letting Shuangxing's red palms see the light of day again.

White Rabbit's hands can't be said to be very beautiful. Because of the suffering in her childhood, even in her youth, her hands have irreversibly grown many calluses and are so rough and uneven.

It can scratch the skin of ordinary people. Perhaps it is the result of years of exercise. The slits of these hands are full of friction.

Shuangxing's hands were rougher than those of the farm youth who had been baptized by farming for a long time. The gift of suffering to her was not only the scratches between her noses that could not be erased, but also many details.

There was nothing comparable to the palms of ordinary nobles. They were rough enough to cut through wood, and they were as pale and haggard as someone who had been ill for a long time... but Qiao Lun felt that the weight of life in these hands was far beyond what Ursus called nobles.

"Your Source Stone infection has entered a resting period. As long as you no longer use the Source Stone skills at full strength, if you plan carefully, you will be the same as ordinary infected people."

He saw Shuangxing looking at his hands that were no longer cold in surprise, wishing he could jump up and down to feel the normal infection state that he had regained, and explained:

"Generally speaking, low temperature means low energy, and low energy means that it is sufficiently inert and cannot and will not become extremely active."

"But Frost Star, you are different. The Source Stone in your body is extremely active, but it is storing heat and converting it into other effects with extremely low efficiency - this effect is the source of your ability to control ice crystals in a fixed space.

The easy-to-understand narration does not have many professional terms that can make beginners of Originium skills confused. Qiao Lun is well aware of the educational conditions in the tundra. In the mines he eroded, almost every capita graduated from kindergarten, not counting children.

It was supposed to be prenatal education, but it was forced to be pulled up by the educated mobile city exiles.

In view of the information that the Snow Monster team inadvertently revealed out of embarrassment after discovering the attack on friendly forces, Joe knew about Frost Star's education level - well, it was barely an elementary school level, or the result of the infected guerrilla leader Bodrokas replacing Xi .

It is difficult for the tundra guerrillas who have been liberating infected people all year round to spare a lot of time for children's education, but Bozhuo Kasti also knows that if these children are not educated, their lives will be very difficult in the future, so he takes the children with him during the march. They learn Chinese characters and remedial knowledge so that they can at least understand the expired newspapers seized from the mines.

Qiao Lun, who works part-time as an educator in several bases, praised his righteous deed.

"The direct inerting effect of controlling the source stone is not good. After I come into contact with the ability, the symptoms will relapse quickly - so I manipulated the information surface of the source stone in contact with your body to make them feel that the host's body is no longer suitable for enlargement. Infection ultimately led to this result.”

"But this is just deception after all. If you use your Origin Stone skills with all your strength again, the Origin Stone in your body will quickly realize that you are ready, and the infection will even further aggravate, so please use your abilities as meticulously as possible."

Qiao Lun walked towards the bed, lifted the quilt with one hand and placed it beside him, revealing the item covered by it - a thick white velvet cotton coat.

"Here," he threw one hand at Frost Star, "let's go see your companions. I don't care about their investigation, but I think you must be worried about them. Let's go see them."

Shuangxing wanted to take the clothes and cover her body with pride, but her weak body rejected her idea again. In the end, White Rabbit could only accept the clothes in embarrassment, and accepted the apologetic Qiao Lun's kindness, and let him take off the clothes. , helping her put on clothes like taking care of a child.

Qiao Lun waved his hand in the air, and Shuangxing clearly saw a layer of strange fluid with an indescribable light flashing away. A translucent cane appeared in the red dragon's hand, and he handed it to Ka, who was struggling to stand. ster:

"The location we want to go to will be difficult to walk. Although supporting a beautiful lady really makes me feel relaxed and happy, I think Shuangxing definitely doesn't want his companions to see this."

"So," he deliberately made a muscular posture that only strong men in movies have. Unfortunately, his posture was not that strong, but rather nondescript and absurd, making Shuangxing dumbfounded:

"Prepare this crutch first. I will carry you where they can't see it. Where they can see it, you can hold the crutch and assume a healthy posture."

The white rabbit took the cane, tried the feel, and handed it to the red dragon who looked at her with a smile:

"Then, thank you Mr. Tartarus for being willing to take me on a tour of Base 36."

"The winter in Ursus is weird and strange. Facing unsuspecting foreigners, she appears cold and heartless, wishing that she could freeze to death the challenger in an instant."

"But facing the Ursus people who were raised by this land, she became stern yet gentle - the frost was still the same temperature, but the Ursus people already knew this old grandmother's temper and could be cautious. Follow the rules she set..."

In the classroom, another Tartarus stood on the podium, listening to the children read the text "Winter in Ursus" that only children in the moving city could learn, with a gentle smile on his face.

——Just like the stern yet gentle grandmother in the excerpt.

Chapter 70 The Yeti Team Blended In

"What were they talking about?"
