Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

"When I said that, I remembered something. It seemed that they became like this during the time when they set off from here to the south."

Starting from here and going south, that is to say, the guerrillas are completely incorporated into the integration movement and start to move towards Chernobog.

What happened to the integration movement during this period of time is a complete mystery. No one will talk about their experience during this period of time. They only know that during this period of time, Mephisto was completely dark, and Tallulah was completely dark. The power of the integrated movement expanded rapidly like a snowball.

"At that time, it was because of Tallulah. Daddy has always supported Tallulah unconditionally. Eldest sister has a lot of opinions on this. I don't know about the rest."

That wasn't a good memory, and when I thought about it, there was only pain left. After saying this, the snow monster sighed.

"Miss Idle Wolf also joined at that time."

There was no way to publicly say that she had amnesia, but she was still a little curious about Trish's past experience, and was going to get close to Snow Monster No. [-] to make some sideshows.

"Could it be that you met me back then?"

"Why haven't I seen it before? We were the ones who picked you up back then."

The expression of Snow Monster No. [-] showed an indescribable weirdness, and the idle wolf's expression instantly broke the defense. The so-called temptation was like a joke.

"We weren't sure at first, the change was too big, and the tail wasn't that big at the time."

Chapter 1040 The Driven Wolf

Where should the lone wolf driven away from his hometown go?

Luper, who was walking in the wilderness, laughed at himself. How could he have the right to be called a lone wolf? This is a title that only exiles from big families are eligible to have. If any exile can Calling himself a lone wolf, then this title is too worthless.

It doesn't matter whether Ruper thinks so or not, what matters is hometown... no, the crowd in Syracuse thinks so.

But that being said, where should I go?

Luper was aimless, so she just walked all the way. She didn't care which country was ahead. Although it was getting colder and colder, it didn't matter. There was nowhere to go, and nowhere to go back, so it didn't matter. It's the same everywhere.

Although she didn't want to die, it seemed that living didn't make much sense.

Ruper kept going forward like this, grabbing some prey to eat when he was hungry, but the most common ones in this wasteland were probably Originium worms. God knows that when Luper ate the Originium worms, he also ate them along the way. How many particles in the body of the origin stone worm.

In short, the result is that although she has filled her belly, ore crystals the size of tear moles have grown on her face, and she seems to be completely used to the pain.

It's not the habit of forcibly enduring the pain when fighting for food and territory in the past, but it's really getting slower and slower.

Sometimes even if the blisters on her feet burst and her calf is scratched by gravel, she only reacts after seeing the wound, and starts to treat the wound belatedly.

It can be said that she was lucky that she didn't die from a wound infection, and her luck didn't seem to be exhausted yet.

"Stop, don't go any further!"

When Luper raised her head, she realized that she had come to a "village". Although this was her destination from the beginning, she never thought that the village would be so dilapidated.

The house is made entirely of materials that can be found everywhere in the local area, in fact, it is just wood and mud, not only the walls, but also the ceiling.It's just that the doors of these houses are different. Although they are also covered with mud, they are destined not to fit tightly. This also makes it difficult for these houses to keep warm, but it is only a windbreak.

Several shabby-dressed villagers held simple weapons in their hands, some were rusty farm tools, and some were nothing more than wooden guns that had been sharpened and charred with fire.

Even the dagger at Luper's waist, which was given to her as a last mercy when she was exiled, is probably already considered a magic weapon.

"Look up! You're...forget it, come here."

When Luper really raised his head according to the instructions of these villagers, those people put down their "weapons" and most of their vigilance.

Although she didn't know the reason for all this, Luper still walked over. Her body had reached its limit. If she couldn't take a rest, she might really die in a place where no one collected her body.

She came to this village to ask for help, of course, but if the other party is unwilling to help her, it is always good that someone can return her body to the earth.

Luper was taken to the center of the village, where she saw a huge firepit. It seemed that this was also where the villagers usually made food. After all, there was no such thing as a stove in the simple houses made of mud.

If Ge De was here, I'm afraid they would have been joking about whether they would be tied to the firepit by these villagers and roasted for barbecue.

The thoughts that flashed through her mind did not make Luper feel the slightest warmth, but instead made her reconfirm the reality now, that is, her partners are no longer in this world, the place called home , and can no longer be called home.

Ruper was not sent to the grill. The villagers who brought her here took out some stewed mush from the cauldron beside the firepit and handed it to Ruper.

"Eat, be careful not to drop the bowl."

It wasn't until he took the "food" that was indescribable both in appearance and taste, that Luper saw that the villagers also had ore crystals on their necks, so the identities of these villagers were self-evident. Infected only.

Maybe the villagers showed such kindness to Luper because they saw the crystallization on Luper's face. Such a pale face makes people feel compassion.

Ruper will not and has no right to dislike any food, even these mush is far better than raw Originium worms, and this is real hot food, when the warmth flows down the esophagus into the stomach, Ruper's face It looks better on the Internet.

At least it doesn't look like the man-eating monster Wendigo in the legends of Ursus and Kazdel anymore.

After licking the food in the bowl clean, pouring clean water into it to wash it and pouring it into his mouth, Luper had some energy to continue to look around and saw the process of making the bowl of mush.

From time to time, the villagers will stuff all the food in their hands, including all kinds of small animals caught from traps, wild vegetables, grass roots, bark, dried fruits and even some sawdust and soil, etc. It was stewed in the big pot just now, and it was eaten while it was placed, no wonder it turned into this appearance.

But I have to say that although the taste is not flattering, it also makes these messy foods palatable and filling.

And this is also the staple food of the villagers.In other words, this group of infected villagers has already received Luper with the highest standard. It is absolutely impossible to say that her psychology does not fluctuate at all.

"My name is Rudolph, and I am the village chief of this village."

The Ursas who handed the food to Luper introduced himself in this way. He was already a little exhausted in managing this small village with only a dozen people.

Unlike the villages in the eyes of ordinary people, Rudolph not only does not have many privileges, but instead bears heavy responsibilities. After all, this is Ursas, and no matter how remote the place is, it cannot be separated from the eyes of those people. Small villages will perish at any moment.

Although he showed kindness to Luper, he did not guarantee that Luper would respond to their kindness. He had the only hand crossbow in the village on his waist. If Luper did something bad, he would personally finish her.

"So can you tell me now, where did you come from and what's your name?"

"I'm from Syracuse, and my name is Trish."

Chapter 1041 Shelter

"That's far enough, Syracuse."

Rudolph didn't know where Syracuse was. He had never seen a map of Terra. In fact, even the fact that his country was Ursus was just word of mouth from most people, and it represented destruction. The picket team.

His logic is also very simple. The place he has never heard of is definitely very far away, but in fact it is true. This village is located in the mountains in the middle of Ursas, which is different from the mountains in the northwest of Ussas. The mountains almost cut off the east and west of Ursus, long and narrow but towering.

And Syracuse is in the southeast, and it is almost a distance across Letania from here. After all, even Trish doesn't remember how long she walked.

"You are really lucky. You didn't run into the pickets after walking so far."

Before waiting for Luper's response, Rudolph sighed again.

"picket?"

"A group of black leather dogs, if you see them, remember to run faster."

Rudolph's eyes were filled with hatred and fear. Ruper had seen such an expression before. Too many people in Syracuse had such an expression. All of those people had relatives and friends who died at the hands of various families. .

Hate, but can't take revenge because of fear.

In fact, even Ruper himself is not like this?Hatred, but powerless to revenge.

"It's hard work, avoiding them."

For a moment, Luper felt sympathy with this Rudolph, and the blow of reality had already crushed her. She was no longer the patriarch of the family who was called "Miss Trixie" by the neighbors, but just Just an exile.

"Who says it's not? Even a small village built in the mountains may be found by the pickets at any time."

"What will happen if they find it?"

"You have to run fast and don't stop."

Repeat the above words again, in other words, there is no way to face them. .

"If they are caught, whether they live or die depends entirely on their mood. The best is to die directly, the worst will be sent to the army mine, and the worst luck will be treated as playthings and tortured to death."

Even the best is simply to die?

Ruper, who had just become an infected person, never thought that the world outside would be so chaotic. Even though Xihua had mentioned the harshness of the outside world, she actually didn't take it seriously.

"What about resistance?"

"All dead."

The question was concise, and the answer was even more concise. Luper didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere gradually solidified.

"Okay, little girl." In the end it was Rudolph who broke the silence, "What is your next plan, whether to move on or stay like this."

"I don't know whether you want me to stay or leave."

Luper is quite confused about the rest of her life. Not to mention long-term goals, short-term goals don't exist. She doesn't know what she should do, which fully interprets the meaning of muddling along.

"If I hadn't been infected with ore disease, I'm afraid my daughter would be as old as you."

"Then uncle, do you regard me as your daughter?"

In Syracuse, in order not to be looked down upon by her opponents, she never showed her playful side at her age, she looked mature like a 30-year-old youth, but in fact she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"How is it possible? If I had a daughter, I would be cuter than you, but we are really short of manpower here. Infected people in the wasteland can only live longer if they are in groups."

"I understand, I will stay, Chief Rudolph."

Luper still didn't find the meaning of continuing to live, but he found a place to stay temporarily.

She originally wanted to use hatred to dominate herself, and spend her entire life finding that lone wolf and taking revenge on her.

But somehow she couldn't make such a decision, and she could only attribute it to fear, admitting her cowardice, and in the final analysis, she didn't seem to be as strong as she thought.

Confusion stems from this.

But if that lone wolf appeared in front of her one day, she should still have the courage to charge towards him.

For the infected villagers living in the wilderness, the addition of a new person is not a big deal. There are always people joining and leaving here.

The difference is that joining is active, leaving is passive.

Just a few days before Luper came here, people in the village had already left, and now he is just a lonely grave in the wilderness.

The infected people in the wasteland don't know how long the infected people in the city can survive, but for the infected people here, once they are infected, it means that life has entered a countdown, which makes them have no time to care too much.

Although Village Chief Rudolph vaguely understood the role of morale and wanted to make everyone happy after a long absence by joining Ruper, the supplies in the village were really not allowed.

Even a full meal is not enough, everyone doesn't have much oil in their stomachs, if everyone asks for a meal, the village may run out of food tomorrow, and then everyone can only be a dead ghost together.

As a result, Luper became a member of the village without any disturbance. She did not have a separate room, but could only share the same room with other women.

Although they are roommates, they actually don’t communicate much. Not to mention the age gap between the female villagers in the same room, it’s the heavy life pressure that makes most of them speechless. interest, and Ruper was a taciturn man.

The role of the room is really just a room, get up at sunrise to work every day, and return to the room to rest at sunset.

It was only at this time that she realized that what was grown in the fields outside the village was not food. The infected people here did not have seeds to grow food at all, and what they planted were only vegetables that could be grown.
