Is It Really Ark of Tomorrow?

Looking at the white-haired girl basking in the sun with a dazed face, the man sighed and sat beside her.

"Then, let's continue our interrupted self-introduction. I'm Li Lin, the person in charge of Xinnen Valley Company, and one of the developers of soul technology. What's your name?"

"Talulah, just call me Tallulah."

The white-haired girl showed a bright smile, and stretched out her hand to the man fighting side by side.

Then she saw the man's increasingly strange eyes.

"..."

"..."

Eh?It's because I don't dress up well, am I being rude?

That's right, with such a long life of an infected person, it seems that the official introduction should be more formal.

Seeing the man silent and staring at her body and face with weird eyes, Tallulah blushed a little bit, subconsciously patted the snowflakes on her body, straightened her clothes, and then stood up , once again extended a friendly palm.

"Nice to meet you, Li Lin. My name is Tallulah, and I am the leader of an infected team. It is my honor to cooperate with you."

"...Well. It's also the first time I know you."

But what made Tallulah feel a little inexplicably wronged was that the man just gave her a strange look in the end, then shook hands hastily, and left in a hurry.

What am I doing wrong?

Looking at his back, Tallulah couldn't help but think so.

And the shadows and voices that hovered in her mind in the past also fell silent at this time, and she didn't say any more words.

Chapter 10 Dreamlike

The Xinnen Valley Alpha Squad is not only an expert in combating memes, but in fact, because they are often on the front line, they also serve as both the scientific research department and the memes department to some extent.

What they have to do is to reshape the part they can understand in the completely unfamiliar soul field, and then fix the surrounding area and the real universe through the fastest anchoring depth of the river and the equivalent impression.

Simply put, their presence meant that this place would serve as another special site similar to the Hinnom Valley underground equipment area.The Soul Furnace and related construction facilities will also be loaded in turn, and the deserted plain above the snowfield will be built into a fortress to block the torrent of Ursus emotions.

Some people have even planned to name this place the Northern Fortress or the Brass Fortress.However, considering that reality punchers and related facilities have not been tested by natural disasters so far, and large-scale reality barrier devices have also not been tested and accepted, these ideas and theories are only limited to thinking, and they have not really shown up. .Only relatively speaking, many people seem to have built this place as some kind of home.

Most of these infected people in Casimir were slaves and laborers. Although they were transferred from various places to the Grand Knights, the lives they lived still left deep wounds on them.

This makes them extremely insecure, and at the same time, they are too keen on grouping and winning over their compatriots, and they have an unreasonable enthusiasm for one thing.

Although Li Lin himself thinks that these things are sometimes not a good thing, too much fanaticism often leads to errors or deviations in viewing many things, but for these infected people who really recognize this place and are willing to use Xinnen Valley as their home building , How to say it is futile.

Compared with other infected people, the extremely favorable living environment, the high pension after death, the free education and learning brought about by the meme problem, and the disguised increase in life span caused by the difference in time flow rate, all of these are Let the infected respond to these things with 12 points of enthusiasm.Even if they were surrounded by the former legend, the Patriot of the Shield of the Infected, after a few simple greetings, they started the internal seminar.

The people in the Alpha team have no intention of hiding, which is what Li Lin advocated.Now that people have seen it, be generous.If it is covered up, it will cause some bad soul projections.Just say it when you see it, and describe it in detail if someone asks.Therefore, under the blank gaze of Patriot and Tallulah, the members of the Alpha team installed a series of instruments that looked similar to the Black Tower in all directions, and then began to look at the files and readings in their hands and carry out a series of arrangements and arrangements. checking.

"Current test results prove that in the soul field around the reality puncher, there will be phenomena that are counterintuitive to the material universe. These include but are not limited to sudden changes in temperature, changes in mass, and changes in time and flow rates. No time has yet appeared Phenomena such as backflow and damage to the law of matter may also be related to the depth of the hole..."

"The Memetics Department is collecting and sorting out news data related to Ursus for re-entry. At present, the image of the subspace displayed in the inner space of Ursas is completely inconsistent with the performance of external news and public opinion. There may be an extremely cruel situation inside Ursus Phenomena happen."

"In the future, the punching facilities will conduct news verification and investigation locally. The news circulating outside may not be correct. The inherent impression may lead to the failure of the control of the soul field."

"After punching holes in this area, it cannot be closed normally. There is too much malice and hatred accumulated here. Forcible suppression will only tear the reality module in other weak areas. At that time, it will be in an uncontrollable state, so it is recommended Set up a special processing facility here to conduct in-depth research on the Ursas environment and the soul river. Here and Casimir have a completely different ecological environment."

"Given that the physical universe and the perforated area do not coincide, we have reason to suspect that the perforated area refers to the concept of place. That is, the ice sheet is likely to refer to the vast land of Ursus, and the The punching is only aimed at the emotions in the mobile city. After the punching of the Ursus Ice Sheet, even the most shallow fluctuation index has exceeded Casimir's hunger by several orders of magnitude. We need to distinguish between the guidance of the soul river and the refer to, to better combat these conceptual catastrophes."

"..."

What's with this atmosphere where we're the only ones who can't do it?

The two people who originally wanted to go back to the snowy field and pull up the team to pass here again, saw the infected people in front of them who were dressed like future soldiers communicating with each other, and suddenly felt a little at a loss.

Obviously everyone is an infected person, and when I said it just now, I acted for the future of the infected person, but how should I say it better?It is true that they directly pulled up the Icefield Guerrillas and worked hard to integrate them, but compared to the shock brought by this technology, they don't know what to do.

It's as if those ignorant people in ancient times saw those amazing rough stone skills for the first time, nervous, uneasy, and fearful of the horrific products displayed.Originally wanted to express anger and dissatisfaction, but after realizing that they were also infected with rough stone crystals, all kinds of words and thoughts seemed to be stuck in their throats.He just stood there quietly, looking at the members of the Alpha team who were discussing, like a non-participant.

"Don't worry, this is a punching facility, and it will definitely absorb the surrounding infected camps to build a settlement in the future."

Behind Tallulah and Patriot, a man who didn't know what he had done appeared from the shadows, and looked at them with a weak smile.

"This is a technology that allows everyone in the world to be treated equally, a technology that makes everyone truly fair. Thinking itself can be turned into power, and this power can also be used by anyone with thinking. So the source Whether it is a patient with stone disease or an ordinary person, it does not hinder the display of this ability."

"This technology is great."

"It's amazing..."

"It's okay. It's still in the experimental stage. The main reason is that I want to talk to the two of you."

Looking at the tall Patriot and the petite Tallulah, Li Lin's crimson eyes stared at these two representatives of the integration movement.

"Can you talk about your views on infected people? I'm curious about the difference between the infected people here and the infected people in Casimir in Ursas."

Chapter 11 Chat

"Let's talk, Tallulah. Your ideals, your rhetoric. I want to hear it."

The scarlet eyes stared at the girl with short white hair. Li Lin said that there were two people, but in fact he was staring at Tallulah alone.

Looking at the man who seemed to be at a loss because of his gaze, and seemed a little flustered and distrusted, the doubts in Li Lin's mind expanded.

Did he travel through the Ark World of Tomorrow?

The former Yao Knight Linguang can also be said to be due to age issues. He participated in the competition not long after he became an adult, and it is normal to still have some lively and childish appearance.In fact, after the match, Margaret Linguang, who had completely absorbed Casimir's hunger, showed a bit of a magnanimity that she had seen back then as the Yao Knight.

Although he still looks a bit stupid in front of him, but that's because people trust him.He became famous early, has real power, and is a senior. It would be better to say that Knight Yao has no humility and the idea of ​​wanting to learn. On the contrary, it will make Li Lin feel that there is something wrong with Knight Yao.

And most of the characters Li Lin saw were in line with his impressions. Although there were some similarities with minor differences, some of the most basic trends remained unchanged.Jian Lei is still the coach who likes to be an instructor and wants to let more people survive.

Serena is still the silent woman who is as hard as a diamond.Muirses is indeed a bit bad, but from the perspective of setting documents, there seems to be no problem.

But only this Tallulah, Li Lin is aware of the possibility that the overall plot may collapse in the future.

"Eh? Me? You can, but do you really want to say it now?"

"It's now. The sooner the better. I want to determine the way of cooperation between us through your hopes and judgments on the infected."

"Ah, so that's the case..."

As if relieved, Tallulah showed an innocent smile.

"If it is such an examination, it is true that I did not make it clear. I am really sorry for causing you to misunderstand."

"..."

So, is it really Tallulah?

Tallulah?This innocent-looking girl is actually Tallulah?

That Tallulah who was as cruel and ruthless as a natural disaster in the prologue, and then showed a beast-like performance?The boss behind the integration movement, the creator of a series of tragedies?

Li Lin squinted his eyes and looked at Tallulah who was sitting on the ruins of the black tower, wagging her tail and thinking about her own language, and felt an inexplicable sense of shock in his heart.This feeling of collapse was even more shocking than Jian Lei's original entrapment.

Thinking about it carefully, she is indeed able to cope, acting with the patriots, mastering the extraordinary skill of flame rough stones, and carrying a long sword that looks very good-although I haven't seen how she used it-if the hair A little longer, and with a Lolita skirt, it does seem to be exactly the same.

But, hell, how could a girl wearing a Lolita black dress, giving all kinds of cruel orders with a blank face, directly creating a hell on earth, and being inseparable from the main line of the entire Ark of Tomorrow, be with this silly-looking girl, The little girl who was surprised and very expressive made contact?A few years have changed so much, has it turned a young girl who seemed to be full of vigor and hope into a beast?

"I just listened to the conversation between you. It seems that you are talking about infected people and external news. In fact, this is indeed the case. Ursus' news has been covered up and distorted a lot."

Tallulah took a deep breath, showed a firm expression, stood in front of Li Lin and said softly:

"On TV, they claim that they have rescued many infected people and sent them to specialized medical institutions and concentrated areas for supervision and diagnosis, but in fact these news are all false, fabricated to cope with the outside world's rhetoric lie."

"They don't know what kind of story happened on this land. The pickets of infected people hunt on the ice field every day to catch any infected people that may appear. Even if they are killed on the spot, no one will be held accountable. .The vigilance among the villages on the wasteland is even far greater than the original stone disease. They don't trust the Ursas government, let alone any outsiders. Except for a very small number of people, most of the people in the Ursas region are like That's what I said."

"Icefield guerrillas, patriots, snow monsters, we don't actually hide our whereabouts, but we are very serious about promoting our ideas and wanting everyone to pay attention to what happened here. But no matter what, we can There are so few sightlines. For the vast majority of numb Ursas, the infected and the icefield guerrillas are more like some kind of fairy tale. In this case, everyone is numb Now, their high-handed rule over the infected is logically going on."

"Patients with rough stone disease in the mines have no food and clothing day and night, and patients in the wilderness look at the sky and eat without any permanent livelihood compensation. Villages are scattered everywhere, and occasionally even entire villages are slaughtered The phenomenon."

"As for whether those crazy pickets did it, or some monsters that the official said did it, I'm afraid people already have some answers in their hearts."

"This Ursus is like a black snowy night. No matter how hard we try to move forward, there are cold snowflakes and darkness everywhere."

"So, I want to change all of this. I want to change these things through my actions, my efforts, and what I can do. Whether I can help a person or a group of people, I want to make my own Others feel that the world is not all cruel and unforgiving."

There is power in words.

Standing on the ruins of the Black Tower, Tallulah went from stuttering at first, to smooth and neat, and finally to the description with rich voice and emotion, which even attracted the attention of the Alpha team.

She has a talent for speech, or in other words, her actions and true feelings have a very high provocative power.Of course, this is not the same as what Li Lin saw at the beginning when the really provocative person said that he directly gave a speech in the prison, and the judge bowed his head and bowed.But Tallulah is still young, and the serious words spoken by that immature face can make people think to a certain extent.

"...So, I want to integrate."

Looking at the silent patriot beside him and Li Lin with a playful face in front of him, Tallulah said firmly.

Chapter 12 Salvage

"The infected are no longer hostile to each other, and the poor should not point their swords at those who help them."

"I know that the suffering in this world is almost endless, and everyone has their own troubles and difficulties in life, but I think it is in this situation that we should unite."

"It's like water gradually converging into creeks and creeks converging into rivers. We alone can't do things like changing the world. This dream is for you, for patriots and people like Mr. Li Lin It may be naive and naive to say it, but I believe that as long as we act, it is not too late."

Tallulah sincerely looked at Li Lin's face, his thin and gloomy face after working for a long time, and tapped her chest seriously.

This action has no actual direction, but it makes her words show sincerity.

Even the patriots on the side looked sideways at the girl with short white hair.

But the members of Alpha Squad didn't say anything.

Li Lin also didn't say anything.

Because they have discussed these issues a long time ago, and even conducted more in-depth research and simulation on them.

Li Lin's discourse and research from his student days to the present have been exploring the possibility of this path and the risks that may be encountered.It is true that doing something with a hot mind may achieve great things, but without the support of the environment, everything is rhetorical and meaningless.

It's like discussing knighthood in Casimir now. Everyone has just come out of the shadow of the knights, and the whole country is on the track of development. It has begun to use the entertainment industry to dilute the fear of the knight class, and at the same time use various means. To revitalize the production economic system within Casimir, at this time you have to go up and talk about chivalry again, and there is no good way to say it other than courting death.

Perhaps after five or ten years, people will start to have more money in their hands, some companies will reach saturation, and they will turn their attention to places other than Casimir, so that the so-called chivalry can be awakened.Because at this time, he will take on the role of psychological construction, from the original simple atmosphere of living in the whole country, to how to live, how to live with more dignity and meaning.Only when the production conditions are rich, people are qualified to talk about etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame.

And the same is true for infected people.In the case of sharp contradictions, people often can only choose left or right.Sitting on the wall represents betrayal on both sides.People always have to look at their own position and speak.

Moreover, there is one biggest problem in Tallulah's theory.

She said everything about her ideals, but she never thought about what happened next.

"So, I have a very simple question."
