Chapter 34 Dragons and Snakes of Ursus

"Good night, Alina."

"Good night, Tallulah."

As night fell, the cold wind was raging on the ground covered with thin snow. The white-haired dragon girl waved goodbye to her best friend, watched her go away, sighed, and turned towards her tent.

It was said to be a tent, but in fact it was just a shelter sewn together with rags and supported by simple wooden sticks.

On the cold Ursus Icefield, especially in winter, this kind of tent can play an extremely limited role. At most, it can only block the never-ending cold wind outside.

However, for the poor people gathered here, this is the only thing they can count on - even such a simple residence can only barely accommodate one person.

The Drake girl walked into the tent and lowered the curtain to slightly isolate the cold wind. The dim light in the tent illuminated her clothes. It was an Ursus-style dress between aristocratic clothing and military uniforms. .

However, this dress, which could still be vaguely seen to be of extremely exquisite workmanship, was now riddled with holes, with traces of stitching everywhere, making it difficult to call it decent.

"what--"

The mist exhaled from her mouth floated slowly under the light. Tallulah sat down on the floor made of hay, exhaled gently, and stared at the small palm-sized lamp in front of her in a daze.

That was the only benefit she could enjoy as the head and leader of the entire organization. An Originium lamp from the Ursus military only needed a few Originium fragments to stay lit for several years.

Occasionally, she would write some simple future plans and organizational trivia under the light to sort out her thoughts in order to make better decisions - but that was only a relative term.

Living in a place like this, the most basic survival is enough to make one exhausted, so what good decisions can be made?

Just like now, most people in the organization are hiding in simple tents shivering and unable to sleep, and Tallulah is the same.

The difference is that Tallulah, who has the blood of Drak and masters the skill of the Fire Source Stone, does not need to worry about keeping warm. What she has to worry about is the survival of everyone.

Entering winter, the already cold snowfield became even more desolate, and even the most basic food problems were difficult to solve. In order to avoid the winter expropriation by the Ursus patrol team, they had to move to the most remote areas, where there were few people and the temperature was very low. , and there are no plants that can serve as food.

Not to mention food, it is difficult to obtain even a tent made of fragments. If this continues, many people may not be able to survive this winter.

Integrate the movement.

They now have a name that they can use, but everyone knows the inside story.

Rather than being an organization united by infected people, they are more like a group of poor people who cannot appear in the sun and are forced to hug together for warmth.

In the entire integration movement, Tallulah herself is probably the only one who has always had a glimmer of hope for the future.

However, even so, Tallulah still insisted on doing everything she could. She felt that since she had gathered those people here, she had an obligation to help them survive.

However, she is not omnipotent, there are many things that cannot be done just by thinking about it.

Just like the current looming food problem - the food they had accumulated had already bottomed out, and seeing everyone going hungry, Tallulah was eager to solve it, but couldn't think of a suitable solution.

Most of the infected people are in poor health. Long-term pain and suffering and starvation have brought their bodies to the brink of collapse. If food is cut off, not much of the entire organization can survive in such a harsh environment within a few days. Go down.

If she didn't want to starve and freeze to death in this plain, the only way Tallulah could think of was to rob the Ursus patrol that might pass by.

At this time of year, patrols collect food supplies from various villages and transport them back to the army garrison, which is the only opportunity for food acquisition that the integration movement has access to.

But how to rob and fight?

Thinking about those infected compatriots with sallow faces and skinny muscles, no matter how much Tallulah paralyzed herself, she did not think that there was a possibility that those people could fight head-on with the Ursus regular army.

A well-trained Ursus soldier may be able to defeat a dozen of them. The gap in team combat is even greater, and the two sides are not on the same line in the battle.

Fortunately, the integrated movement is not without people who can fight.

'Maybe it's time to talk to Mr. Patriot tomorrow. '

Tallulah sighed as the thought came to her mind, knowing she had no choice.

Mr. Patriot was once a member of the Ursus army. He had a team of shield guards under his command. His daughter Yelena also led a team called the Snow Monsters, which once became the main force on the Ursus ice field. s legend.

If you want to rob the Ursus patrol and obtain food, you must rely on their strength. Ordinary infected people cannot do it. Those people have no fighting ability at all.

Call ~

The curtain of the tent was opened, and the cold wind poured in. Tallulah looked up and saw the Carters girl coming in from the outside.

"Elena?"

"The old man asked me to ask you, is it time for us to take action?"

The white rabbit wearing a pure white cloak got into the tent, found a seat and sat down, looked directly at Tallulah, and got straight to the point.

"Mr. Patriot, have you guessed what I will do? That's right, after all, I have done the same thing before."

Tallulah was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a wry smile.

Yes, this is not the first time that the Integration Movement has done this kind of thing. The tents and other things they are using now were all obtained in this way. Because of this, the Integration Movement has already been linked to Usa. They had a wanted order from the Sri Lankan military, so they had to avoid any large patrols that might appear to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

If there was any other way, Tallulah didn't want to do this, which meant that they had to abandon their current location and move to a worse place to avoid being approached by the regular army.

But now the integration movement is indeed at the end of its rope, and there is nothing she can do if she doesn't want to do it anymore.

"It is impossible to get food out of the snow, and nothing other than snow will fall from the sky."

Yelena said expressionlessly, and the already low temperature in the tent seemed to get lower with her arrival.

"If we want to survive, we must attack Ursus' patrol. Even if you don't plan to do it, the old man and I will go. Not only the infected need supplies, but the shield guards also need them, and they need them even more. You It should be very clear that without the old man and the shield guards, relying on those rabble, the integration movement cannot survive in this ice field."

"Actually, you should consider giving up some things. I saw someone sneaking around the warehouse yesterday. Everyone knows what they are going to do. Some people don't really want to help others at all, they just want to find someone. Long-term meal tickets, when push comes to shove, they can run away faster than anyone else. I don’t think that kind of people are worthy of being saved. The food we have worked so hard to get is not used to feed a group of moths."

"No, no, they just can't help it!"

When this issue was mentioned, Tallulah suddenly became excited, but only for a moment. Soon, she calmed down again, took a deep breath, lowered her head and said: "I'm sorry, Yelena, they are all my compatriots, I can't Give them up.”

"...You are the leader of the integration movement, you have the final say."

Yelena could tell that something was wrong with Tallulah's situation, which was normal. After all, anyone would feel powerless and irritable if they had to worry about the survival of thousands of people.

Therefore, she did not intend to continue this topic.

Tallulah's idea is very naive, so naive that it is almost impossible to realize it, but it is precisely because of this naive idea that they are here.

"The old man doesn't know where he got the information. Tomorrow at noon, a team transporting food will pass by. The number of people is about two hundred, and there is a lot of supplies. If we can get it, then we can hope to survive this winter safely."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this information, Tallulah raised her head in surprise, but also a little worried.

"How about the equipment for a team of 200 people? Can we eat it?"

"I don't know, but according to the old man's judgment, there is a high probability that a transport team of this size will be escorted by regular troops, and the equipment will not be too bad. Moreover, we must eat even if we can't eat, otherwise we will all starve to death and freeze to death on the ice sheet. In order to survive, sacrifice is inevitable.”

Yelena said the information she knew with a calm look in her eyes.

She has long been accustomed to this kind of life, accustomed to the possibility of death at any time, and has become numb.

This is a terrible thing, but on this ice sheet, everyone has no choice. If they want to survive, they can only abandon those useless emotions.

"You're right, we have to do it."

Tallulah slowly clenched her palms, her eyes became firm, and vaguely, the temperature in the tent seemed to have risen a little.

"I'll be ready."

"Ah."

White Rabbit nodded, then stood up and left the tent without any delay, as if she came here just to convey this news.

Tallulah has long been used to this. Compared with Yelena, what she needs to think about now is another thing - what to do tomorrow to minimize losses as much as possible.

That was the Ursus regular army with a team size of 200. Coupled with the uniform equipment, it was undoubtedly quite difficult.

To deal with this kind of opponent, she couldn't put all her hopes on the Yeti team and the shield guards. That was not what a qualified leader should have.

But soon, Tallulah discovered that her thinking was meaningless - because she had no choice at all, and the only one she could rely on was herself.

As a pure-blooded Drak and a person infected with the ore disease, her Origin Stone skills are quite powerful and her combat effectiveness is very impressive. If the terrain is suitable for her use, she can fight against dozens of regular troops by herself, which is why she feels that The reason why the idea hit the patrol team.

In addition to having no choice, part of it is due to confidence in one's own strength.The flames of a pureblood Drac are powerful enough to melt steel, far beyond the reach of ordinary people, even if they are unable to exert their full potential due to long-term malnutrition.

After all, she is Drake...

Thinking of her origin, Tallulah lowered her eyes and looked a little dazed, and the shadows of the past began to reappear in her mind.

Longmen, father, uncle, sister... those were the best memories in her life.

Unfortunately, that was all in the past. After meeting Kosich and being taken to Ursus, she could not go back.

That hateful poisonous snake ruined everything for her!

I don’t know how Hui Jie is doing now, or whether she has realized her childhood dream of becoming a chivalrous and righteous hero...

The childish smile on her sister's face flashed across her heart, and Tallulah's lips curved into a faint smile.

She really wanted to return to Longmen and see her sister again.

However, it can't be done.

Today, Tallulah is no longer the little girl who was incompatible with the world. She is the leader of the Infected Organization and the Integration Movement. She is responsible for the lives of thousands of people. She cannot leave here, at least not now.

She wants to save the infected and bring hope to the infected, not only the immediate and present, but also more!

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

"Did the news get out?"

On the icy tundra, a man wrapped in black clothes stopped in the cold wind and looked at the camp composed of simple tents below.

Those things sewn together with shabby pieces of cloth were scattered one after another in a chaotic mess.

"It has been released. It is estimated that they have received the news now and will definitely take action tomorrow if they still want to survive."

Another man in black suddenly appeared next to the man like a ghost, lowered his head and answered.

"I don't need such uncertain descriptors. Tomorrow at noon, the dragon must appear in the direction of the escort team. The Duke's plan does not allow any changes."

"Yes, I promise to make arrangements."

"If something unexpected happens, you know the consequences."

The man scanned the camp indifferently, closed his eyes, and spoke again after a moment: "Assemble other snake scales to ensure that nothing goes wrong. In addition, pay close attention to the Wendigo. He is the biggest variable. We must ensure that the key and lock are in place." Meeting at the right time.”

"We're always paying attention."

The man in black hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Our people found that there were internal guards appearing nearby. We are unable to determine the identity number. Do we need it..."

"Inner guard? Troublesome guy."

Hearing this name, the man frowned slightly. After thinking about it, he said firmly: "Keep an eye on them, and then contact our people to get those troublesome guys back. It's not time yet. Besides... forget it, that's it. .”

"Yes, my lord."

The man in black bowed respectfully, and their figures faded like phantoms, disappearing in place. The wind and snow blew by, leaving only a thin piece of white snow, leaving not even a single footprint.

Chapter 35 Fire and Ice, Snake Shadow in the Snowfield

It was noon and it was snowing heavily.

On the desolate tundra, a long team marched in the snow, like a long black dragon.

The transport truck driven by the Originium engine forcibly cut a path out of the snow. Dozens of off-road vehicles surrounded the transport truck and moved slowly.

Such bad weather makes it difficult for even the Ursus soldiers stationed on the southern ice fields all year round to march on foot. Moreover, they have enough confidence that even if they march in a hurry, they can face any possible crisis.

Because this is Ursus, and they are from the Ursus Army.

To the infected and robbers wandering in the snowfield, they are an insurmountable mountain.

If it was a small patrol, they might encounter something else on the road.

But for the escort brigade of 200 people, all dangers are non-existent. Except for the madman who has truly lost his mind, no one dares to attack such a large-scale regular army on the snowy field.

With equipment, strength, and coordination, a formation of more than a hundred people was far beyond what those desperate bandits could match.

However, just because it didn’t happen before, doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future.

In the heavy snow covered by dry grass, a pair of eyes that seemed to be burning with flames quietly opened, and the surrounding snow was melted by the high temperature in an instant.

That was Drac's power, the Origin Stone skill of controlling fire, enough to melt hard steel.

In the snowy water, Tallulah clenched the hilt of the sword hanging at her waist, pursed her lips tightly, and made her body fully active.

Ursus' transport team is right in front of them, and the integration movement will take action as soon as they arrive at their predetermined location.
