But Ursus may allow the so-called rebellion to exist in the tundra. If it really develops into the city, the integration movement will become extremely conspicuous... So Frost Star is not sure whether this approach will create something for the infected. The future and hope will still completely collapse the barely maintained situation.

Forget it, let’s first consider how to let more people survive this winter!

She shook her head and put the question aside for the time being.

------------------------------

"Sister, we've got the things!" He absentmindedly returned to the village where he was stationed, and Big Bear, who was guarding the gate, hurriedly came over to greet him. "Just like what was said in the intelligence, two full boxes of inhibitors were placed in the trunk of the car. in!"

"Very good. Let's take a day off and then return to the settlement immediately." Shuangxing nodded, then noticed the off-road vehicle parked next to him, and asked again, "Where is the noble young master?"

"In the yard over there, he cooperated with us and followed us back to the village honestly without any overreaction." Big Bear pointed at a house in the center of the village and said, "Petlova and Yang Ge is looking at him, that is..."

This is a settlement that has long been abandoned. The previous residents were forced to move out due to natural disasters. In addition, it is far away from various strongholds. Under normal circumstances, the pickets would not come here at all.

At the intersection out of the village, there was only a place where the big bear stood, not to mention the crossbowmen on guard around. It was impossible for ordinary people to escape.

"What is that? Does he have some kind of stress reaction? Just try not to irritate him." After confirming the placement of the courier, Frost Star turned around and motioned to the snow monsters to go back and rest first.

Most people are as afraid of ori disease as snakes and scorpions. Even in Victoria, where the persecution of infected people is not particularly serious, no one has a good attitude towards infected people. When they meet, they don't say bad words or punch or kick them, but stay away from them. If you avoid it, you can already be considered kind-hearted.

What's more, the other party is still a noble. He has been pampered since he was a child and has few opportunities to come into contact with the Source Stone. He must have been instilled with the concept of staying away from infected people. When he learned that he was caught by a group of infected people, he was probably frightened on the spot, right?

It's a pity that this young master will have to suffer for a while and stay under the same roof with these infected people.

Even if the plan to develop southward is rejected in the end, the connection with Qicheng cannot be easily severed. They can still exchange the worthless money on the tundra for scarce supplies through this channel.

So he pretended that Qin Xiaolang happened to be caught doing some secret operation, and temporarily detained him for a period of time for the sake of confidentiality.

In this way, even if Qin Xiaolang informs the Ursus authorities about his experience, he will not suspect the smuggling of medicines, thus protecting the safety of his compatriots in Qicheng, and he can also use this to convey wrong information and disrupt the Ursus army. Fang’s deployment on the tundra.

I hope it won't leave any psychological shadow on him.

Shuangxing thought with some wickedness. As for whether he would embarrass the infected after letting this guy go back, or tell the truth about his experiences during this period, it had nothing to do with her.

"You...go over and see for yourself." Before Big Bear led Shuangxing through the door, a sweet fragrance wafted over.

She was surprised to find that Petrova and Yang Ge, who were supposed to be watching the target, were staring expectantly at the young aristocratic young master, who was holding a covered iron pot in his hand and putting it on the fire. Continuously flipping.

Finally, with a growing popping sound, he lifted the lid, revealing a pot of hot popcorn.

"He... seems to have not seen anyone for a long time on the way here. Now he can chat with anyone he sees, and he is very enthusiastic." The big bear reached out and grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, showing a look of enjoyment. " By the way, his cooking is delicious!"

No, even though you were captured by a group of infected people, you still have the heart to make popcorn?

How big is this heart?

White Rabbit recalled that the last meeting that left such a deep impression on her was Tallulah who was being pointed at by snow monsters and trying to lighten the mood with lame jokes.

Isn't this noble young master also a fool?

Chapter 8 A soldier must not be greedy for enjoyment.

"Young master, your craftsmanship is really good, it's delicious and crispy! I said Yang Ge, you stinky boy, leave some for me!"

"Just give it a taste. Haven't you always been a reliable adult? Don't fight for food with a child like me!"

"Hey, if you eat too much of this sweet food, you will get cavities. Be careful, the pain will be excruciating. It's better for me to bear the pain!"

Amid a quarrel, the three snow monsters were chewing popcorn, with a look of satisfaction on their faces. Froststar walked to the stove and grabbed a handful of yellow-orange, rounded pellets.

Corn... Although this crop cannot be grown on the tundra due to climate reasons, as one of the most common staple foods, a lot can still be obtained from seizures.

It's just that the kind Qin Xiaolang used is much larger than ordinary corn, and it also exudes a butter-like fragrance, which is far stronger than ordinary corn that can only be softened by boiling for half a day and has no taste.

Miu Miu Popped Corn (creamy).

The special variety of corn jointly developed by Columbia United Fruit and Vegetable and Rheinland Life has better puffing ability and will burst quickly at high temperatures to form popcorn of different flavors with round, full and extremely sweet grains.

On the bag written in Victorian, there was a label in Usassin, which briefly introduced the name of the product. It looked like it was imported goods that were not cheap.

And a variety of corn is specially developed, which is specially used to make snacks... Think about it, usually everyone can only fight with potatoes, chickpeas and oats, let alone the meat, just garnish with some tasteless dehydrated corn kernels. I can be happy for a long time.

It is true that some people pursue poetry and distance, while some people have tried their best just to survive.

Shuangxing lamented the unevenness of the world and looked at Qin Xiaolang with complicated eyes. This guy had been praised by three foodies and actually rolled up his sleeves and started making the next pot.

Could this young master, who had never been severely beaten by society, regard them as hospitable villagers, so he acted so relaxed?It seems necessary to make him realize his current situation!

She cleared her throat, attracting Qin Xiaolang's attention.

"Mr. Tyrell Carrick, I am the commander of this infected team. I'm sorry, because you appeared on our route of action. In order to prevent you from revealing information to the pickets, we must temporarily restrict your life. free."

"Uh-huh……"

"But please don't worry, we are not evil people. We will ensure your safety during this period. Once the transfer to the west is completed, we will immediately grant you freedom and return your vehicles and equipment."

"oh oh……"

"You must have understood your situation. Do you have any questions?" Seeing Qin Xiaolang lowering his head, Shuangxing thought he had finally realized that he was under house arrest.

Right, no matter how arrogant he is, he should have heard the name of the Yeti Team on the way here, and he should be frightened next...

"So... do you want some popcorn?" Qin Xiaolang was actually confirming the condition of the popcorn. He ignored the sudden drop in temperature around him and held the crackling pot in front of Shuangxing with a serious look on his face. asked.

boom!

A piece of popcorn popped out of the iron pot and almost hit Shuangxing in the face, but she still easily pinched it with her hands.

Then Shuangxing took a few steps back. Firstly, he was not used to someone being so enthusiastic, and secondly, he wanted to prevent his own body temperature from frostbiting the other person: "No need, we will leave here tomorrow, and the two of them will accompany you during this period."

Secretly telling Petrova not to take it lightly, after the other party nodded with puffed cheeks, Shuangxing turned around and planned to return to her residence to rest. She suddenly felt that acting for this person was not playing the piano to Feng Tu.

But...she picked up the popcorn that was intercepted halfway, made sure it had cooled down, and put it in her mouth.

Well, it’s just as crispy, fragrant and quite sweet as Big Bear and the others said!

------------------------------

After observing the situation at the picket outpost for several days, after returning to a relatively safe place to stay, the relaxed White Rabbit lay on the bed and slept until dark.

What woke her up was the smell of food.

"Sister, I've put the food on the table for you, but don't wait too long and it will freeze completely!" Petrova knocked on the door and made sure Shuangxing was up before walking into the house with a tray.

"Why does today's food feel a little different from usual?" Shuangxing looked at the tray, his gray eyes full of doubts, "How come your cooking skills have improved so much after not seeing each other for a few days?"

Leba is the most common dish in Ursus, which is a porridge made from japonica rice and wheat, a soup made from fresh vegetables and some minced meat, a piece of golden-skinned barbecue, and a bowl of paste mixed with something unknown.

The vegetables and staple food were obtained in exchange for flour when I passed through a village a few days ago, and the meat was obtained from an unlucky horned hoofed beast I encountered when I came back, and asked the crossbowman to shoot it and bring it back to improve the food for everyone.

But it was obviously the same dish, but it seemed particularly tempting, and the aroma was stronger than before.

"...It was made by that noble young master. Originally we planned to open the fire ourselves, but the smell in his yard was so fragrant!" Petrova wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth and said rather unwillingly.

At noon, the snow monsters approaching Qin Xiaolang's residence were attracted by the aroma of food.

Even though they knew that it was very unwise to let outsiders handle everyone's food, seeing Qin Xiaolang enjoying the food, they still discussed drawing lots and selected a few unlucky ones to eat the food prepared by Petrova.

The rest of the people rushed into Qin Xiaolang's residence and asked him to help process the ingredients in their hands.

In order to ensure the safety of the food and to see the secrets of his cooking skills, Petrova stared at Qin Xiaolang the whole time, but it was obvious that the cooking methods were similar, and what Qin Xiaolang cooked was much more delicious.

"Forget it this time, don't harass others too often in the future..." Shuangxing nodded. Seeing that the food on the plate was no longer steaming, he picked up the bowl and started eating.

Well, I'm sorry for Petrova, but the taste is indeed better than that of that young master. Compared with what is in your mouth now, the ingredients in the past were just cooked.

"By the way, what is this bowl?" Under the helpless gaze of his companions, Shuangxing finished all the food several times faster than usual before looking at the last bowl with unfulfilled interest.

"He heard Yang Ge mention that you couldn't eat hot food directly due to physical reasons, so he specially made a dessert for you." Petrova pushed the bowl of poor-looking paste in front of Shuangxing. , "The young master said this is called Eskimo ice cream. It is made from the fat extracted from horned hoofed animals, added with sugar and berries and stirred."

"Ah? Forget about the desserts, soldiers can't just enjoy themselves!"

Shuangxing was stunned for a moment, feeling that this stuff was less reliable than the "candy" that a certain silly dragon made for her, but looking at Petrova's eager eyes, she still scooped up a spoonful, closed her eyes and stuffed it into her mouth. .

He must have done something!

Otherwise, how could this thing be so delicious? !

The fat has been turned into a paste after being repeatedly stirred and whipped, giving it a dense and soft texture. A little smoothie and crushed berry pulp also give it a peculiar layered texture. Every time you chew it, there is sweetness and crunch. A crisp sound spread between the lips and teeth.

She looked calm on the surface, but the spoon had reached into the bowl again.

It is true that warriors cannot be greedy for enjoyment, but if you treat yourself to something good every now and then, you will have more strength to fight the enemy!

[Frost Star’s favorability towards you +5]

Qin Xiaolang, who was drinking porridge, received the reminder and almost laughed out loud.

Sure enough, the fat and beautiful girl cannot resist the temptation of ice cream.

Chapter 9 A cook who can’t tell a story is not a good courier

Deep in the tundra, outside the camp of the Integration Movement.

The silver-haired Drake girl in military uniform stood on a hill several miles away, looking at this already large-scale gathering point from a distance, her gray eyes filled with relief and pride.

In order to prevent the target from being too large and attracting attacks from pickets and the army, some compatriots had to camp elsewhere. If the scattered camps nearby were added together, it would be conservatively estimated to contain thousands of people.

Although they still cannot compete with the regular troops stationed nearby and have to move immediately after the beginning of spring, they already have the ability to attack small groups of pickets. Compared with the days when they were hiding in Tibet and running around in Tibet, they at least have some initiative. Everything is eventually developing in a good direction.

"Sister Tallulah, can we really live there in the future?" A haggard young man came over, looked at the tents and wooden houses with admiration, and asked timidly.

"Your name is Alex, right?" The silver-haired dragon girl showed a gentle smile and said to him in a soft tone, "Yes, there is a warm fire, hot vegetable soup, and bread without sawdust. If the hunting team harvests something, maybe we can still eat meat!"

Looking at Alex, whose eyes were shining, he ran back to the team to tell the infected people who had just been rescued from the mine the good news, but a sad look appeared on Tallulah's eyebrows.

As more and more compatriots are rescued and joined, problems arise one after another.

The most important thing is the harsh environment of the tundra, which cannot support so many people.

Even if three meals a day can be provided, it is only enough to barely maintain food and clothing. The integrated movement is still in a state of lack of food and clothing. Medicines and weapons and equipment are even more scarce. Many soldiers even fight with farm tools.

I'm afraid if we rescue a few more infected compatriots in the mines, they will really return to their past state of chewing bark and grass roots.

Such a huge supply gap cannot be made up by growing their own food or capturing food in a few battles, especially as the number of people increases in the future, this problem will become more and more obvious.

Then Tallulah thought of the south.

These infected people are not alone on the tundra.

There are also many persecuted compatriots in and around the mobile city, and the number is far larger than that on the tundra. The seeds of resistance have been planted long ago. All they lack is a belief to unite them.

Thanks to the active integration movement in recent years, many local infected communities in Ursus have become aware of their existence. This organization active on the tundra has become a faint banner.

A small number of compatriots who were sent out successfully established an intelligence network in the local area, and this delivery of ore disease inhibitors was a bold attempt.

After all, this proposal has been opposed by many people. Staying on the tundra can at least survive for a while, and going to the south means facing Ursus directly. The army will not let the infected run wild in the territory of the mobile city.

Perhaps, the city's treatment of infected people is more stringent, and the situation that greets them may not be much better than that of the tundra, but the problem of logistical supplies has gradually emerged. If they cannot get out of this comfort zone, the integration movement will eventually Falling apart.

In order to gain an opportunity instead of shrinking to a slow death on the tundra, Tallulah urgently needs to win the consent of more people.

Shuangxing was specially arranged to take over the medicines. On the one hand, these medicines were related to hundreds of lives, and the snow monsters could ensure that they were foolproof. On the other hand, they were also telling Shuangxing the facts about the benefits that could be obtained by going south.

With her support, it shouldn't be difficult to convince Mr. Patriot.

Maybe……

Tallulah thought about the iron tower-like figure, and felt a little unsure.

------------------------------

"Alina, I'm back!"

After returning to the camp and settling down the infected people who had just been rescued from the mine, Tallulah came to a wooden house as usual and said hello to the Elafia girl at the door.

The infected girl who left the village with her was also one of the founders of the integration movement. However, unlike Shuangxing who fought on the front line with her, the girl chose another battlefield.

She became a teacher for the children of infected people. From teaching them common sense about survival to reading and writing, she guided the children to think more deeply, instead of being blinded by hatred and anger.

In her spare time, Tallulah would talk to her about various problems she encountered, and slowly adjust her mentality and come up with solutions through the girl's explanations.

For the silver-haired dragon girl, the girl in front of her is not only a close friend, but also a spiritual support.

"Where are the children?" She wanted to talk to Alina again about persuading the patriots to agree to go south, but looking at the empty yard, Tallulah couldn't help but asked a little strangely.

It was now recess time. Children usually would play in the yard, and some naughty ones would pester her to tell stories and listen to those fairy tales tirelessly, but there was no one there at the moment.

"They all went to listen to Mr. Tyrell's story!" Alina said with some taste, and continued to lower her head to mend the clothes in her hands. "How do you say that Yanguo dialect? The praise from outside Do you like to recite sutras?"

Tyrell?

Is there such a person in our camp?
