Longmen Memoirs

Shuangxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the smile on his face, and felt a lot more relaxed. However, the gray hair suddenly made Shuangxing feel that it looked so dazzling.

She didn't mention those things again.

She knew that Chen Mo had brought a suitcase from the cruise ship. Shuangxing never asked him what was in it, nor did he go out of his way to explain it.

They were tacitly aware of certain things that should not be mentioned.

Tallulah is discussing with the Patriots the plan for the southward march. During this period, they have been collecting and formulating a safe southward route to avoid the patrol range of the Ursus Empire pickets and reduce the losses that the team may suffer. to the minimum.

The outposts and nodes along the way south, as well as their plans and where to stay after arriving at the destination, all require detailed planning in advance.

If it had been in the past, they might not have had this time. Just avoiding the picket search and collecting supplies would have taken a lot of energy, especially contacting the gathering places of infected people from all parties and rescuing infected people who were arrested by Ursus. People, they have a lot of things to do and cannot stay in the same place for a long time.

Patriot listened quietly to Tallulah's explanation of her thoughts. He rarely spoke recently. He marked the recently collected information on the map in the center of the conference room. Around these different travel routes, the people in the conference room Everyone started discussing.

"If the team is separated, safety will become a problem. We lack effective communication methods. The closer the team is to the Ursus urban agglomeration, the higher the chance of being discovered."

"But wouldn't it be easier to be exposed if we don't separate? Tallulah, with our current manpower, there is simply not enough."

"Yes, so we must pay more attention to the trends of external forces and contact local infected communities and groups as soon as possible. On the other hand, we must also try to distinguish whether the other party is trustworthy. The top priority is to ensure that the team reduces possible losses when going south. , so all aspects need to be taken into consideration.”

"If you have any ideas, you can put them forward now. Brainstorming is far more useful than thinking hard alone."

"We have to take everyone with us, Tallulah. It's not that I don't trust the camp, but some people have just arrived and they may not be willing to take the risk and go south."

"No, I will select a group of soldiers as an advance team. After ensuring the southward route and establishing a safe outpost, I will try to lead more people southward."

"Those infected people you mentioned, are they really willing to help us?"

Tallulah shook her head.

"I'm not sure, but it's better than nothing. They are facing the same situation as us. It's hard to say whether they are willing to help us, but the ones I know should be fine."

"Listen to me, we can't expect to get out of the current predicament as soon as we arrive in the south. No, the south will be more dangerous than it is now. There will be fewer battles on the surface, but the confrontations secretly will be more intense, whether it is against Ursus We are still infected, so we must be fully mentally prepared, but the south is an opportunity for us. Things, resources, technology, and even available manpower that cannot be obtained in the snowfields can be obtained in the south. .”

"You're right, Tallulah."

"Maybe our compatriots will sacrifice in this process, but all sacrifices are meaningful. Everything we do now is to make the infected people better..."

Just as everyone looked at her in confusion, waiting for his next words, she suddenly stopped.

That was the first time Tallulah would stop a meeting for someone.

They saw Tallulah leave the table. He went out and stood in the doorway. The patriots stood up and a large group of people came out of the house.

In the slightly cold morning, the eaves were covered with icicles, reflecting the tiny light spots in the early morning sunlight. The light spots reflected two figures approaching from far away.

"Is it eldest sister? They are back."

The surprised sounds of the snow monsters awoke the gathered crowd and Tallulah as well.

"Tallulah..."

"I saw it."

She just adjusted her emotions so as not to show herself too weak in front of the soldiers, but Chen Mo's dazzling hair had a lot more white hair than when she left.

Tallulah had something to say, but the meeting was not over yet, and the soldiers were still around.

She finally didn't react too excitedly, and just lowered her clenched hands, as if to prove that her mood at the moment was not as calm as she seemed on the surface.

The snow monsters didn't have too many worries. They had already ran over and surrounded her in Shuangxing's reproachful eyes. It seemed that the relationship between the snow monsters was really good.

At least those longings and joys could not be faked. They had indeed learned bad things, otherwise they would not have hugged Shuangxing regardless of Shuangxing's majesty. This time she did not look for help again, and Chen Mo did not go over to help him out.

His eyes met Tallulah's for a long moment.

"Mr. Patriot, is this the end of today's meeting? It seems that we have to consider something else in the planned plan."

She looked at Patriot, who nodded slightly.

"You are...the leader."

The patriot's voice was hoarse and difficult, his voice getting worse and more silent.

Tallulah finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked towards Chen Mo.

Just standing in front of Chen Mo, she couldn't help but glance at Shuangxing, who was surrounded by snow monsters. No one knew whether she was a little envious.

"came back?"

"Yes."

"I thought you would be a week or two late," she asked.

"It went much smoother than expected." Chen Mo said, and explained: "The main reason is that Shuangxing misses the snow monsters so much, so he didn't stop much along the way."

He opened his mouth without changing his face and put the blame on Frost Star. The latter was surrounded by snow monsters and almost didn't hear his confusing slander.

"Really?" Tallulah asked suspiciously.

"I never tell a lie."

"Liar."

She showed no mercy.

"Alas." Chen Mo sighed, as if he had come all the way back and was wronged instead of getting any benefits.

Tallulah smiled.

"I can see it."

She looked at Chen Mo's sloppy face. She never thought that in a few months, the person in front of her would look completely different from before.

Her fingers fell on Chen Mo's face, and the fine stubble was hard and prickly.

"How long has it been since you took good care of yourself? I almost didn't recognize you when you looked like this."

"How can I care so much? I have been thinking about coming back early all the way. I thought you would give me a hug after I haven't seen you for so long. At least you wouldn't say something so hurtful."

"After that."

"Ok?"

"After I said that, the soldiers are still looking at us."

"I was just joking, Tallulah, I..."

Chen Mo wanted to say something more, but when he looked at the familiar face in front of him, the words he wanted to say became blank in an instant.

It turns out that when emotions reach the end, people will be at a loss. It turns out that there are too many things to say, but they will become silent for a while.

But he still felt that he should say something.

He put his hand into his arms.

Take out the folded agreement.

"Kazdel has promised to provide us with assistance. The first batch of aid supplies and weapons will arrive at the southwestern border of Ursus within a month and a half. I have calculated the time to leave. We still have a week from now. Go get ready.”

"Medicine and food account for a small amount. They are mainly weapons and armor that have been eliminated by the mercenaries in the past, as well as radios and signaling devices used for battlefield communication. These things can provide a lot of help on the subsequent route south. Originally, they proposed to let some Sakaz joined us, but I refused."

"Although they are all obsolete products that were originally planned to be destroyed, they will ensure efficient use. I think after this batch of aid comes, we will have to spend some time training the soldiers until they learn to care for and maintain this batch of unfamiliar equipment. As for Engineers and materials previously planned to build the power station will gradually arrive in Ursus after the first batch of materials is received."

"As for the future, the agreement promised that if we are willing to send personnel in the future, Kazdaele will reserve a certain quota for officer training for us. There are many children in the camp. I mean, if they are willing, we can send them to Kazdaele. Zdel, not necessarily as a training officer, at least it will be much safer there, but if you disagree and feel that children should not set foot on the battlefield too early, or..."

"Are you listening? Tallulah."

"I am listening."

"Forget it, you can go see it yourself."

Tallulah looked at the agreement in Chen Mo's hand, but she didn't reach out to take it.

"None of that matter."

She shook her head and said.

"It's good to come back. This way, the soldiers and I will feel much more at ease."

Chapter 76 It’s so pretentious, damn it, it makes me anxious just looking at it, it makes me anxious to death

Chen Mo heard her say this.

The girl standing in front of him seemed to finally be relieved and let go of the worries that had been hidden in her heart.

The agreement in my hand that I had spent a long journey to obtain for this purpose suddenly didn't matter so much at this moment.

Chen Mo has never forgotten his original purpose.

He relaxed.

"I'm back, Tallulah."

He watched Tallulah speak, and a smile that was not very pretty finally appeared on her weathered face, no better than a fool.

"The candy you gave me was gone on the way back." He said regretfully.

"I have a lot more here."

"That's good."

It was probably from that time that Tallulah, who was hesitant, finally made a decision in her heart, but it was probably also from that time that although she had received the doctor's advice, Chen Mo had not yet thought about going east.

The firelight of the fireplace dissipated some of the chill outside. The light was not bright, but at least the air was not turbid. Although it was mixed with the smoky smell of burning wood, most of it floated out of the house along the flue.

Tallulah carefully flipped through the agreement in her hand. There were only two of them in the room. Froststar was probably with the Patriots at this time. Although when Froststar came back, the Patriots did not gather around like the snow monsters. He was probably He couldn't do such a thing, but at this time, Snow Monster and Frost Star should be in his big room, along with the shield guards.

Chen Mo's guess was correct. 【#

Froststar was indeed in the Patriot's longhouse, not only her, but also the Snow Monster and several shield guards who had watched her grow up.

Their conversations, questions, and Froststar’s own experiences.

"Sarkaz really agreed to help us? Sister."

Petrova still couldn't believe it. After Shuangxing talked about the result, she stared at Shuangxing and exclaimed. Yang Ge, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but cover his ears.

"You were too loud, you scared me."

"I'm really surprised, that's Sakaz, they are actually willing to help us." Petrova pinched her face, "Well, it hurts, it's true."

"If you want to be stupid, don't get so close to me. I'm afraid you will infect me." Yang Ge glanced at her with disgust.

"Go and sit aside."

Yang Ge sighed, tugged on Big D's sleeves, and changed places with Big D under Petrova's proud gaze.

"So we don't have to worry about weapons and food in the future. To be honest, the armors of the shield guards should have been replaced a long time ago. Last time I saw them using steel wires to fix the shoulder armor. It's a shame that it took so long. drop down."

The designated shield guards moved their gazes aside, seemingly not hearing what was going on.

"Also, every time I used a spell, I had to be careful and worry about not having enough spell-casting units. Now I finally don't have to worry so much."

"Then I really want to change to a sturdier combat uniform. Otherwise, I have to sew and mend it after every battle. My skills are getting better and better now, ugh."

"I'm telling you, you haven't said this before, right?" Shuangxing asked.

"Didn't you expect it before, sister? Besides, it's just a small expectation."

"Alas." Froststar sighed.

"I don't know," she said, "I don't know if what you want is available."

"Sister, didn't you just say that Kazdel has agreed to help us?"

"But I didn't expect you to be so spineless. If I had known you were so unsatisfactory, it would be better not to go."

Shuangxing looked at the snow monsters seriously, but couldn't keep it up when he saw their stunned expressions.

"Okay, since you want those things so much, let's first agree that you have to prove that you are qualified to get them. I don't care about this. You have to prove it yourself."

"Don't worry, eldest sister, we are snow monsters. As long as you are here, we can handle no matter what kind of enemy we face."

"Tallulah taught you? You have never said such beautiful words before."

"what?"

"I knew it."

People are afraid of not seeing hope, but people are also most afraid of having hope, because not all hopes can be realized, because in fact, most hopes turn out to be empty joy in the end.
