Longmen Memoirs

Another thing that is more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Those eyes and the smile on her face were as bright and confident as the winter sun.

It wasn't until that day that Shuangxing realized that there really were those kind of natural-born leaders in the world.

Having experienced the cruel and difficult war in Northern Xinjiang and her life of escape, she believed that her previous position was even more dangerous than the current group of people in Rhode Island.

She could understand the vigilance and hostility that the entire Rhode Island felt towards her the moment the identity of the attacker was confirmed.

She made no attempt to defend herself, nor did she show the slightest trace of panic or emotion.

Because she knew that silence was the best answer from the moment it became clear that the attacker was an infected person.

There was just one doubt lingering in her mind that she couldn't get rid of.

Why was the Rhode Island suddenly attacked after leaving Chernobog's signal radiation zone?And the attackers happened to be a group of well-armed infected.

Shuangxing would not naively believe that there would be such a good coincidence in the world, nor would he make a steadfast promise before knowing the reason.

So when faced with doubts and hostile and vigilant glances from around her, she chose silence.

"Until the truth of the attack becomes clear, I am willing to temporarily accept and obey all orders and requests from Rhode Island. I hope to be able to get in touch with Qicheng after the communication with Qicheng is restored."

Before she understood the full truth of the attack and could not contact Chernobog, Froststar knew very well that as the representative of the integration movement on the entire ship at this moment, she should not be certain or justify anything.

The integration movement several years ago was nothing more than [&%

All these changes have made Frost Star mature a lot. As the integration movement continues to grow and expand, some people within the organization have gradually disappeared, while others are quietly becoming stubborn.

The integration movement is moving forward, and so is Shuangxing. The integration movement must transform the past guerrilla style into an international organization, and Shuangxing must also transform himself from his former role as a small guerrilla leader into a Qualified military leader.

This is a transformation that must be experienced and is a prerequisite for the integration movement to move forward.

They all had to move forward because they had no way out.

I don’t know if this change is good or bad, but Shuangxing feels that it should be good.

The integration movement cannot remain unchanged, nor can it remain the wandering and migrating days of the past. As long as they still want to live, as long as this group of infected people still pursue the right to live.

Integrated movements are bound to change.

Today's integration movement is no longer what Frost Star was familiar with in the past. Internal growth often brings about endless power conflicts, as well as all kinds of shameful and tiring interest disputes.

The previous integration movement was too small to think about these distant things.

But just as people are selfish and have different hearts, the gathering of groups gradually causes different minds to have different desires.

Even if they are infected, the greed of human nature begins to expect more after spending the most difficult days, and relying on the qualifications of being the first to enter, they can demand more with peace of mind, and it cannot be refuted.

Tallulah's identity as a leader surrounded by infection made her unable and unable to take decisive measures to suppress these increasingly greedy demands and desires, and she could not find a suitable outlet to release people's hearts. Gathering of negative emotions.

Therefore, it can only accumulate more and more, and it becomes more and more dangerous.

But at that time, both Frost Star and Tallulah were so ideal.

Naive young people are always confident and fearless. They always think that they can solve everything and overcome difficulties and obstacles. There are no setbacks in their eyes, only ideals. They must chase instead of stopping to think.

Froststar remembered that her father, a patriot, once said that when Tallulah was unable to satisfy the growing greed and desire of these people, all that was waiting for her was the collapse of tall buildings and the turning of the people's hearts.

She needed a new identity beyond the authority of the leader of the infected.

But neither the Patriots nor Tallulah can find a solution now.

This change continued to squeeze before Bei Xinjiang, and then gradually subsided after Bei Xinjiang.

Because people had no time to care about the war, and because at that time, Tallulah gained a new identity - a hero, and also gained deeper authority.

This kind of authority and the victory brought about by authority made her like a god, supporting her later reorganization and reconstruction within the integration movement.

Frost Star witnessed with his own eyes Tallulah ascending the altar. Under the altar, there was the joy of mountains and tsunamis, and cheers like waves and seas. The red flag of the integration movement was flying at the top of Qicheng City. Thousands of pairs of eyes reflected the same vision. Personal figure.

That day, a trace of extra color finally emerged from the gloomy eyes of the infected.

She finally got here.

Froststar felt that she should be happy and join the cheers and applause of the crowd.

The whole Yeti squad is going crazy.

Her heart beat loudly with the continuous ups and downs, as if the blood in her veins was also boiling and rushing.

She opened her mouth to shout out the excitement and excitement in her heart.

But before he opened his mouth to cheer, he saw Alina, a white deer standing at the corner of the square building. The sky was blue and endless, and the winter sunshine was warm and genial.

Froststar saw Alina's smile, a faint smile.

She didn't cheer, she just stared at Tallulah below, and there was a puzzling...sadness in her happy smile.

Froststar didn't understand.

That sadness made her lose her desire to cheer.

She had seen that expression before, it was nostalgia and ceremony.

It’s the solemnity before a funeral, and the melancholy after friends say goodbye.

【> So in the rising and falling waves, at that moment when flowers surrounded Tallulah, Shuangxing vaguely thought of a certain figure who had passed away.

He spread his hands.

Froststar put a candy into his palm.

"Thank you."

He was very polite, but in Froststar's eyes, this politeness was more like alienation.

In his long life, Shuangxing realized that he didn't care about the life or death of the infected. No, to be precise, he didn't care about the life or death of any stranger.

He held the candy but never peeled it off.

"Why don't you eat?" Shuangxing asked puzzledly.

"It's still a long way back."

Shuangxing remembered that he answered like this, maybe because he cherished it, or maybe because he was reluctant to part with it. In fact, few people like this kind of candy because it is not sweet.

Sugar should be sweet, but this is Ursus, a snowfield, and a gathering place for homeless infected people.

Sugar...is a luxury.

The young Custer woman sat quietly beside the bed in a temporarily arranged dormitory. As a basis for the two parties to still maintain a certain degree of trust, she had not had her weapons and equipment confiscated by Rhode Island.

Maybe it was out of self-confidence in oneself, maybe it was due to some partial trust, but no matter what it was, the slender staff and dagger were quietly placed in front of the table at this moment.

After landing on Rhode Island, Shuangxing couldn't help but be surprised by what he saw and heard here. Although Miss Alina, the secretary, had handed over some of Rhode Island's information to him before, he could see it with his own eyes. Froststar was still surprised.

There were too many infected people among the employees in Rhode Island. It was not until this moment that Frost Star truly understood that the Integration Movement was not the only place in the world willing to take in these infected people, nor was it the only Integration Movement willing to work hard for the infected. .

She couldn't deny that she had an inexplicable fondness for this organization called Rhode Island.

The expected course of treatment is somewhat lengthy.

Shuangxing knew that her infection was serious, and she was not surprised at all by the medical team's prediction of her condition. Although the members of the medical team vaguely comforted themselves after the examination, perhaps relevant research would make progress and breakthroughs in the future. .

Froststar just smiled and said that he didn't care.

But who doesn’t care how long they can live?Who can live and want to die?

Shuangxing didn't know, but her plain and free smile was imprinted in the hearts of everyone present. When that cold frost-like face burst out into a smile, it was as if it was suddenly in the endless winter wind and snow. Saw Nuanyang.

She is a child who survived the black lottery.

She faced the dark and cold mine prison since she was born.

She might never be able to see the world outside the prison in her lifetime, but the patriot saved her, and they became each other's spiritual sustenance.

She chose to be a warrior, no one forced her to become a warrior.

But even though she was born in a cold place without firelight, her heart was still full of small thoughts of others surviving.

She is not living just for herself, nor is she forced to choose these things. She is voluntary, so that no one will suffer the same pain as her, and in order to realize the ideal of the living and the dead, so she cannot fail. Next, we must let this unforgettable anger pass on, because only those who understand anger will feel pain, and only those who know pain will understand how beautiful life is, and will retain their feelings in this still dark world. The longing for tomorrow.

But seeking light in darkness is always just an illusion, let alone a darkness so deep that even light cannot shine in.

But they found it, even if it was just a mirror, even if it was just a misty tower.

They found it.

Frost Star looked up at the world outside the window. The end of the horizon slowly lit up under the light of a few stars that were gradually fading in the sky.

The stars faded.

The rising sun filled the hull of the Rhode Island and fell on her arms along the portholes.

The sun is warm.

Froststar gently crossed her arms.

The sun set that year and the sun rises today.

From Kazdaele to Ursus, Rhode Island never stops moving forward.

The people here are nice.

But she belongs to the integration movement.

The automatic door opened slowly.

Froststar turned around.

She saw Amiya standing at the door.

She has a smile on her face.

Although the 16-year-old leader was young and immature, Shuangxing saw in her the shadow of Tallulah's past, and the former Tallulah was also so convincing.

Confident and strong, not shrinking, upright and fearless.

But Froststar hasn't seen Tallulah for too long.

They talked about their ideals in front of the fire, and the days when they quarreled because their cloaks were torn during training seemed to still be in their memories.

The integration movement has changed.

Tallulah... is she still the same person he trusted in his memory?

Chapter 68 A few things about Rhode Island

May 5, 24:8 pm

USS Rhode Island upper command area/bridge

Under the leadership of Amiya, the doctor visited the current Rhode Island again. As the elevator slowly ascended, the full picture of the manufacturing workshop and trading workshop was gradually revealed in front of the doctor's eyes.

People hurriedly filled the busy workshop. Tall processing machinery and gantry cranes shuttled back and forth on the crowded ship's factory deck. Above the conveyor tracks, one packaged order after another was slowly sent to the warehouse.

Supported by a 20000-lumen LED lighting system, the tall, spacious workshop as bright as daylight came into the doctor's gloomy eyes. He couldn't remember how long it had been, as if he had been asleep for a century, and as if opening his eyes was a new day.

As if nothing had changed, and as if everything was already specious, the doctor glanced at the Custer girl next to him from the corner of his eye, but her attention was not on him.

The doctor sighed silently, a hint of trance flashed through his heart, and then withdrew his gaze just before the girl turned her head.

Yesterday is old because the girl has grown up.

"Doctor, are you okay?"

The girl asked softly, with visible concern in her blue eyes.

"I'm fine, Amiya. Thank you for coming to accompany me to get familiar with Rhode Island again."

"The doctor said that you have been sleeping for too long and it will take some time to recover your memory. I hope I can help you, doctor. During the time you left, the Rhode Island has undergone some changes that may seem strange to you. I……"

The girl hesitated to speak, but the doctor clearly saw a trace of desire in those eyes, the expectation of recognition.

"You did well, Amiya."

"No, all of this is due to Dr. Kelsey. It was Dr. Kelsey who taught me a lot of things, handling affairs, business negotiations, accepting new people... Without her help, I would never have been able to get to this point, and Everyone at Rhode Island has been working hard and contributing quietly, and I still have a lot to learn.”

The girl is very modest, even a little unconfident.

After all, she is too young. A 16-year-old girl serves as the leader and commander of a public, large, and complex medical organization. It is undoubtedly an unimaginable burden for Amiya.

At the age of 16, as innocent as a summer flower, how many girls can be like Amiya, shouldering such a heavy responsibility alone.
