Longmen Memoirs

"We talked about Kazdaele alone last night. You know that before coming to Ursus, Kazdare was the hometown of the Wendigo."

"Is there anything wrong with his voice?"

"So mostly I'm talking and he's listening."

"No wonder I discussed the team with him this morning, but he directly rejected my proposal and asked me to lead the team."

"That only shows that our previous guess was correct."

"No." Tallulah frowned. She moved closer and looked at Chen Mo's face carefully: "I always feel that you said something to him that made him react like this."

"How is that possible?" Chen Mo immediately retorted: "Could it be that you think I have the ability to change the minds of patriots? You really overestimate me."

He looked sincere, but Tallulah became more and more certain that he must have talked about something else with the Patriot.

"Oh, forget it, anyway, even if I force you again, you won't answer honestly."

Tallulah sighed in frustration: "Anyway, the arrangements for the team have been decided, but you really have to come with us this time. You just came back one night and didn't even have time to take a breath. Frost Star will go there with you this time." If you stay, I think you should also..."

"One night is a lot of time to catch my breath, Tallulah. I've had the experience of not getting much sleep for more than half a week before."

"I'm making an analogy, don't tell me you can't hear it." Tallulah looked at Chen Mo helplessly and asked, "When did you just say that?"

"Huh?" Chen Mo was a little confused.

He tilted his head slightly.

Tallulah grabbed him by the collar.

"Don't try to fool the past."

She stared at Chen Mo's eyes seriously, and Chen Mo was a little embarrassed.

"You know that when people speak, they habitually add exaggerations in order to increase their persuasiveness."

【<&

Tallulah raised an eyebrow.

"You want to say that you just said that randomly."

"I want to say that your focus is a bit too strange." Chen Mo answered honestly, then tilted his head slightly to the side: "The soldiers are all looking at you now."

Tallulah subconsciously looked over. The guerrillas had gathered to prepare supplies. Most of the soldiers checking the tools stopped what they were doing and looked in their direction. When Tallulah discovered it, they hurriedly continued their work. After realizing it, it seemed like nothing happened.

"Cough cough..."

Tallulah retracted her hand that was holding Chen Mo's collar, put it in front of her lips and pretended to cough lightly. She seemed to notice Chen Mo's slightly amused gaze, and turned around to glare at her.

As if to say, this matter is not over yet.

After this news spread, the soldiers who admired her would probably lose sleep for several nights.

Chen Mo looked at her walking toward the shield guards and chatted with them. Soon after, Frost Star appeared next to her along with the snow monster.

Chen Mo watched the girl immersed in the process of working for her ideals and career. She had a group of like-minded companions and comrades, and she did not seem to be alone.

She was always so confident when talking to the soldiers, and the eyes that looked at her were full of trust and determination. It seemed that she had grown into a qualified leader unknowingly, and she had become a person whom others trusted. of sustenance.

Chen Mo felt that he should be happy for her.

But he still couldn't help but worry about gains and losses. He was happy that Tallulah finally found something that he really wanted to do and should do, but he also couldn't help but worry that this responsibility and career was too far away and heavy, far beyond what she could bear alone.

Chen Mo was still a little disappointed, just a little bit. As expected, he was disappointed that Tallulah finally failed to become an ordinary person, and that things on this earth were both beautiful and mean.

Light rain on October 5

It takes at least two to three months to reach the southeastern part of Ursus from the junction point of the eastern battlefield of Kazdel. If you have transportation and are used to long-distance marches, the time will be shortened to about one and a half months.

But from the current location of the camp, and on the basis that the infected are familiar with the terrain of Ursus, it only takes about ten days to get to the southwest border of Ursus.

They arrived two days earlier than the approximate time agreed upon with Kazdale, so when they arrived at the target location, they did not find any signal from Sakaz.

The two days of waiting made Tallulah a little impatient, although she also knew that they had arrived much earlier.

"Tallulah, here we come, we found Sarkaz's signal, Tallulah..."

The accumulated rainwater dripped along the edge of the tent, and the scout's shout of joy probably sounded at this time.

After stepping on the muddy ground, the sound of shouts woke up the camp in the morning. The scout may not have noticed how excited he was at this moment.

Watching Tallulah appear in front of her.

"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. Are you sure it's the batch of Sakaz we're waiting for?"

Tallulah supported the scout, and the surrounding soldiers slowly came closer.

"Confirmed, we saw their convoy. Those Sakaz were armed. After the captain brought them in contact, the others stayed there. For safety reasons, let me come back and inform you."

"You said they were all armed?"

"Ah, yes."

"Did you see what was in the car?"

"No, I'll come back and let you know once I detect the signal."

"That means they didn't find you either."

"What's wrong? Tallulah."

Tallulah turned to look at Chen Mo.

"Give me a suggestion. What do you think of the Kazdare people?"

"To avoid any surprises, we'd better make two preparations."

"Huh, I think so too." Tallulah breathed softly and looked at the gathered soldiers: "Immediately notify the soldiers to gather. A small team will follow me to confirm the intelligence brought back by the scouts. The others will lurk and wait for our signal. .”

"Wait, let me lead the team, and you and the other soldiers will act together." Chen Mo said, looking at Tallulah's hesitant eyes: "I am more familiar with Sakaz than you. You have never been in contact with them. Don't Causing unnecessary misunderstandings."

Tallulah hesitated but did not refute.

"Then...well, stay safe."

"Don't worry, it won't always be that bad."

"hope so."

Chen Mo met his old acquaintance, Hedley, who was once a famous expert in the Kazdaele mercenary industry. He was later recruited into the Tower of Babel and is now a senior civil servant in the Kazdaele country.

However, before seeing Hedley in front of Sakaz's motorcade, Chen Mo was greeted by a crossbow arrow that flew close to his ear. The roaring crossbow bolt was nailed in front of Chen Mo, almost making the soldiers who came with him think that Sakaz is going to take action against them.

They drew their weapons and Chen Mo raised his hand.

"Don't be nervous." He turned back to the soldier who had drawn his weapon and picked up the crossbow bolt nailed to the ground: "This is just a greeting gift from a friend."

Hedley came out of Sakaz's motorcade on the opposite side with resentment.

Look at the crossbow arrow that Chen Mo is looking at.

"I know it wasn't your idea."

Hedley breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's very kind of you to understand."

When he turned around, the sniper lying on the roof of a car and wearing wasteland camouflage picked up his crossbow and stood up. He still looked the same. He hadn't grown much taller at all. At least the folded mechanical crossbow in his arms was no taller. He wants to be short.

The sniper jumped off the roof of the car, lifted his hood and walked over, revealing the iconic pair of black ears in the hood. He must have done it on the spur of the moment, otherwise his face would have been painted with oil paint.

He still had the same impatient and arrogant expression as before. Even though he hadn't seen him for so many years, he still didn't know how to respect his former captain.

Chen Mo looked at Hedley's right arm hanging under the cloak.

"I didn't expect that you were the one responsible for this escort mission, Hedley. I remembered that it was also a transport mission when I met you. Are you doing this now?"

Chen Mo asked casually without any malice.

Hedley became gloomy again. It would be better to say that he had this gloomy look most of the time.

"To tell you the truth, Her Highness has approached me privately. She attaches great importance to this cooperation, so she hopes that I will be responsible for running this trip."

"It shows you are valued."

"That's what you said at the beginning." Hedley stared at Chen Mo for a long time before spitting out this sentence.

"Did I say that?"

"...Maybe I remembered it wrong."

"You must have misremembered."

Chen Mo said with certainty, then turned to look at the sniper who came in front of him.

"He was so enthusiastic about me as the captain as soon as we met. I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed."

Chen Mo handed the crossbow in his hand to the sniper, who reached out to take it.

"Former captain, I am not under your control now. I am enough to give you face by not aiming at your head."

"You mean I should still thank you, Wolf Wolf?"

Chen Mo deliberately said the last two words in a homely tone. The sniper was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him with disgust.

"Tsk, why the hell have you become so disgusting, snake."

"You wouldn't dare say that to a crow."

"Don't mention that guy to me!"

The sniper's reaction was more violent than imagined.

"Isn't she cheating again...?"

Chen Mo couldn't finish his words.

The sniper had a sullen face, tilted his head and said nothing. He now regretted coming.

"Okay, don't be angry. It's just a joke. I've found an apprentice here for you. He has a similar temperament to you. You'll know when you meet him."

I walked alone in the wilderness called life. At the end of the sunset, there was nothing left except yellow sand.

------

Chen Mo never thought about being a hero.

Hero is not a good word, because most heroes are also called dead people. People who are afraid of death cannot be heroes, but people who are not afraid of death are more likely to die.

Looking back at the past, how many people can be called heroes and still be alive?

The answer is not many.

Therefore, Chen Mo does not envy heroes for gaining people's respect and admiration, nor does he envy them for attracting attention and being remembered, because this is what they deserve.

Even if you are called a hero, even if you don't get a good ending.

Chen Mo never talked to the sniper about the crow again, and the sniper was unwilling to talk to him about his gloomy experience. It was already a very happy thing that the members of the weird team were reunited in this way.

Chen Mo didn't know many people, and the weirdos from the weirdo team happened to be one of them.

Each of them is a weirdo, and each of them is an alien. Because birds of a feather flock together, they get together awkwardly.

The timid and fearful captain, commander, logistics officer and driver, the unambitious deputy, intelligence agent and gardener, the arrogant, awkward and face-loving sniper-scout-cum-funster who is just waiting to die. The demolitionist, magician, and last-minute shooter who is gloomy and taciturn and can't hold back a word for a long time, and the honest and temperless shield guard, chef, and nanny Grizzly Bear.

They were never family members, they were more than just comrades-in-arms. Although no one said it, even if they said it, they would not admit it. Although everyone said that they would never risk their lives for anyone. At most, they would go to the tombstone to curse a few words and see a few words. Eye.

The radio replied to Tallulah and other soldiers who were on standby. When Tallulah came with the remaining soldiers, she happened to see Chen Mo chatting with the sniper standing aside holding a crossbow.

From the sniper's words, Chen Mo knew the reason why he appeared here so quickly.

When they originally received Chen Mo's letter, their team and Serea were about to leave Dosores and head to the Colombian border to meet a land speeder that had just passed through the border between Laitania and Casimir heading to Colombia.

Chen Mo thought of the Rhode Island. Judging by the time, the Rhode Island happened to be heading towards Columbia. Chen Mo didn't have to think about whether Ceria went to greet Rhode Island on purpose, or whether Rhode Island Contacted her, because Rhode Island had already established a close connection with World Tree General after Helmer took Ifrit and signed a relevant agreement with Rhine Life with the help of Sakaz's cooperation.

Chen Mo just thought about the company that he originally planned to establish as the worst retreat after the end of Kazdale. At that time, he had not thought that he would be naive enough to fight for Sarkaz, and even give a blank check for it. The senior officials of the original Rhine Life were brought in, but unfortunately, in this journey called life, Chen Mo was never able to make all the preparations he wanted.

He missed himself too many times.

After they separated from Longmen, he hadn't seen Ceria again for almost four or five years. Counting the time the two of them had really interacted, it was probably even less.
